Strong, sexy ab muscles require a total approach to your abdominal workout. Machines that work your external obliques, the muscles that run along the sides of your waist, mean you don't have to lie on the floor doing old-fashioned crunches and sit-ups. While you can't spot train to reduce abdominal fat, you can use reliable machines to tone and strengthen your external oblique muscles.
Captain's Chair
The captain's chair tones and strengthens your lower abs and also recruits your external obliques. The machine is set up high so you have to step up to it to use its padded back and arm rests. Place your feet in the footholds, hold both handles and plant your back against the backrest. Dangle your legs straight down. Exercise your abs by pulling your knees up to your chest and releasing them back to the starting position.
Torso Twist
The torso twist machine heavily recruits your obliques due to the rotational workout it offers. Engage your core and move slowly to get the benefit of the exercise. Adjust the seat so that your knees and chest rest comfortably against the pads. Set the weight to what challenges you within 8 to 12 repetitions. Grasp both handles and shift from the center to the right side and back to center until fatigued. Switch to your left side and repeat for the same number of reps.
Crunch Machine
The crunch machine simulates classic crunches, only you sit on a bench using the machine to provide better head, neck and back support. Adjust the seat, set the weight and place your feet under the pads or on the footrests. Position your elbows on the pads and grab the handles. Squeeze your abs and push forward with your torso, feeling your entire core working to move the weight. Hold for a moment and release back to starting.
Rowing Machine
The rowing machine works out both your abs and your cardiovascular system. Sit on the rower and secure your feet in the footholds. Set the lever to your the level of resistance you need. Grab the bar with both hands and pull toward your chest, while pushing your legs straight. Pull your legs back toward your torso, which engages your entire core including the obliques, while pushing the bar inward.

Thameslink services on the Catford loop
Since 21 December 2014, Thameslink has been operating services along the entire route between Sevenoaks/Orpington and Kentish Town, St Albans and Bedford – previously Southeastern were in charge south of London Blackfriars.
Trains run to the same timetable and you now have just one operator to deal with which should make life easier.
Thameslink has also taken over the management of seven stations at Denmark Hill, Nunhead, Crofton Park, Catford, Bellingham, Beckenham Hill and Ravensbourne which are predominately served by Thameslink trains.
These are the same staff but they have new uniforms and better information as they deal direct with our control and have sight of the entire network and full journey.
Something to look forward to
We're bringing you new trains in 2016. They'll be air conditioned and spacious with a walk-through design, full facilities for the disabled and the latest in passenger information systems. The trains promise greater reliability and are fixed in length at eight carriages so there will be no more four carriage services.
And at Nunhead we have extended the hours we staff the station, so that we have someone there from the first to last service. We have also installed free passenger wi-fi at Catford, Denmark Hill and Nunhead stations.
We're easy to talk to
Thameslink is run by Govia Thameslink Railway. You can find out more about the company and our plans to improve your services in our customer report Connections, available to view here.

A great little experimental randomizer made by Macarena Poo Garcia
I've had the pleasure of teaching at the Vancouver Film School in the Digital Design program. The first class I ever taught I actually got to invent. I was asked to come up with an elective course that would inspire the students in their last term before graduation. At the time, I was really hungering for inspiration myself. I was looking for a way to generate a space where creative culture would thrive (which is also how Draw By Night was born). I decided on a course that, through a series of quick exercises, allowed the students time to experiment and explore the tools in an exploratory way with hopes that it would carry on into the creative process in their professional practice. It gave prominence and importance to experimentation.
One of my favorite exercises is called Exquisite Corpse, borrowed from the surrealists. There are multiple contributors and often only there are only markings as to where the previous drawing ended as a guide for the next contributor. You see then end result when you fold it out.
We honor this exercise but by using digital tools. These were created using adobe illustrator and students were given the same guides so they all lined up. I also gave them a few limitations (like turn all strokes off) and I gave them a range of colour to choose from in order to unify the objects. It was great for the students because they saw their style sitting next to someone eles's. It's these happy accidents I love to cultivate.
We just recently ran this course again and to my surprise, and delight, one student took time out of her graduate project to make this little randomizer for all the exquisite corpse pieces made in her class. Macarena Poo Garcia you are awesome! This is such a great gift and one that I am excited to share.

Noida asked
Dear lybrate user,
a kidney stone is mainly formed due to the accumulation of the minerals present in urine. Such accumulation occurs mainly due to low intake of fluids. Continuous low fluid intake results in the deposits of the minerals over the stone & eventually leads to an increase in the size of the stone. Formation of stone leads to pain along the kidney region.
Just conduct an usg of your whole abdomen to get sure about your stone.
If the size of the kidney stone is below 3mm then it is possible to get rid of it without any surgery. Take homoeopathic mother tincture berberis vulgaris q, 30 drops, thrice daily, after meals, in a cup of water for 15 days. The stone will be expelled through urine in between the span of 15 days of medication.
But if the size of the stone is more than 3mm then you should surely go for surgery.

Why are we afraid to do this?
And we are afraid.
We believe-
If we don't fight, we will lose. (Even when the battle is within us.)
If we don't argue, it means they're right.
If we don't stay angry, it means what they did was ok.
But it doesn't really mean any of these things. It just means we feel crappy.
And disconnected.
And mad.
It is such a trip to be super mad (as I was today) and in the middle of the madness decide not to be.
To let go.
To give it up.
To breathe.
It doesn't mean they're right.
It doesn't mean what they did was ok.
And it certainly doesn't mean we have lost.
It means we are at peace. It means we have released our resistance even though we might still be saying no. It means we are searching for a way to make everyone right and nobody wrong.
It means, at the very least, that we are still connected to ourselves.
You can't fight your way to peace. Peace comes when the fight is over.
You can't resist your way to freedom.
But you can release yourself from the fight any time you want.

Brilliant location
Hotel was in perfect location, room spacious and clean.

Ok experience
Booked the hotel for a mini break for me and my partner.
We we not very happy with the room. We were in the first room and all we could hear at night was the lift. This became very annoying. Also we was not aware that the hotel was being done up, so we could not sit and relax in the bar,.

Same Old Song And Dance [4:58 AM]
WIVB-TV reports:
'After the 7th punt the head coach reads his offense the riot act on the sideline, and then they finally wake up. Excuse me� it takes that situation to light a fire under the Bills offensive line? By then it proved to be too little too late. Where was that fire on the first seven possessions, and how come this team was not playing with that spark from the opening kickoff? It�s truly unexplainable, and inexcusable.'

The Bills are close...but still winless [4:53 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'�There are 12 games left,� he pointed out. �We�ve lost these four. But we can win four (in a row) ... that�s how close we are, and these guys realize that. There are no heads down (in the lockerroom). There�s a lot of football to go. We still have work to do, but we�ll get it done.�'
Bills, Jets heading in different directions [4:52 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'Buffalo�s first sack of Jets� quarterback Chad Pennington was by Chris Kelsay, his first and the first by a Bills� defensive end this season.'
Ask Him Yourself: Mike Mularkey [10:02 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports:
'I think you've missed it when I have showed emotion. You have to pick and choose your spots. That's just not my style to do it all the time. It's not a constant.'
Ask Him Yourself: Tom Donahoe [10:01 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports:
'We believe strongly as a staff that it's not about escape goats but it is about trying to find answers. Several times this year after the games Coach Mularkey and the players stepped up and talked candidly about what they felt individually as gone on in the game. As an organization we meet all the time to talk about the issues, both good and bad, and try to find ways to get better. To do that publicly or to air our dirty laundry in public, we just don't see what that would accomplish.'
Mularkey shares Bills owner Wilson's frustrations [9:25 PM]
AP reports:
'``When you say open up the offense, I'm not sure what open up is. Are we going to be an Indianapolis? No,'' Mularkey said Monday, referring to the Peyton Manning-led Colts, who lead the NFL in scoring. ``I don't think we're going to change our whole offensive philosophy, because when we've done it right, it's worked.'''
Bills C Teague has cracked bone in left leg [5:50 PM]
AP reports:
'''I've played with a lot of things and unfortunately, this is something I can't just go out right now,'' Teague said. ''All I can say is whenever I get cleared, whenever I feel I can go, I'm going to go.'''
Buffalo narrowly averts victory once again [3:49 PM]
Niagara Falls Reporter reports:
'Regardless of circumstances, whatever the challenge and whomever the opposition, New England finds a way to win. And no matter how generous the enemy or fortuitous the situation, these Bills will find a way to blow it.'
Bills Fall Short Once Again [3:45 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports:
'"The outcome is not where we wanted it, and that's the frustrating part," said Chris Villarrial. "We battled back and overcame some tough things but now we have to learn how to win."'
Jets dodge bullet at home against Bills [1:07 PM]
The Sports Network reports:
'John Abraham continued to be a menace on the defensive side of the ball for the Jets, as he recorded three more sacks to up his AFC-leading total to six on the season. It should come as no surprise that Abraham had a huge game against Bledsoe, whom he has sacked eight times in his career - the most of any QB in the league.'
Bills Team Report [1:06 PM]
The Sporting News reports:
'Coy Wire, who had been filling in for SS Lawyer Milloy (arm), was benched because of struggles in pass coverage. Wire's replacement, Pierson Prioleau, is undersized (5-11, 188) and has spent most of his career at free safety. Second-year CB Terrence McGee, playing in place of Troy Vincent (knee), has good speed but is short (5-9) and has trouble covering crossing routes.'
Know him from Adam [12:49 PM]
NFL.com reports:
'What do you remember about your NFL training-camp experience with the Buffalo Bills?
Cain: I remember bumping into Bruce Smith's (butt).'
Bills still looking for winning formula [12:49 PM]
Niagara Gazette reports:
'Sunday�s 16-14 loss to the New York Jets leaves the Bills as just one of two winless teams remaining in the NFL. The good news � or bad news, depending on one�s viewpoint � is that there�s a good chance that number will diminish to one six days from now when the Bills host the winless Miami Dolphins at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Of course, with the offense both teams have, it�s very likely the game could end in a scoreless tie.'
Too little, too late [12:48 PM]
Niagara Gazette reports:
'�We keep making the same mistakes,� Buffalo quarterback Drew Bledsoe said. �It�s frustrating. The coaches have put us in a position to win, but we haven�t taken advantage of it.�'
Another long walk [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Big whoopee.'
Bills' big men make a large admission [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'"We didn't close it," Adams said.'
Fletcher turns in huge effort in Bills' defeat [8:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Fletcher's 21 tackles, including 15 solo, during the Bills' 16-14 loss to the New York Jets matched his career high. He had 21 stops (also 15 solo) against the San Francisco 49ers while playing for the St. Louis Rams in 2001.'
McGahee cashes in on his chance to contribute [8:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'"It felt good to get out there," said McGahee, who had only 11 carries for 28 yards in the previous three games. "I've just been waiting for my opportunity, just staying patient. Once I get my opportunities, I try to make the most of them."'
From the grasp of victory [8:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Jeff Posey's fourth-quarter interception of Chad Pennington's ill-advised throw was the Bills' first pick in their last eight road games, the equivalent of an entire NFL season.'
Grading the Bills [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Coaching (D): Mularkey was brought in to fix offense. Obviously, it's the players. But staff needs to make more of Evans, Moulds.'
All for naught [5:21 AM]
Rochester D&C reports:
'"He had every right to be pissed off," guard Chris Villarrial said. "We're out there sputtering and not getting things done. It's good that he got pissed off. Guys started to step up and we put up a fast 14 points. The outcome's not what we wanted, but as far as maturity we took a step today."'
How long will Bills wait for their playmakers? [5:20 AM]
Rochester D&C reports:
'Maybe this Buffalo team that general manager Tom Donahoe has put together is what it is: An 0-4 team that, thanks to a bye week, isn't 0-5 and residing at the bottom of the NFL right alongside the Miami Dolphins.'
Bills D breaks again in clutch [5:19 AM]
Rochester D&C reports:
'But the fact is, for as good as the Bills' defense is, it is also incredibly flawed and overrated. Great NFL defenses know how to close the deal, and this one never does.'
Two-minute read [5:18 AM]
Rochester D&C reports:
'Came to play...Bills RB Willis McGahee: Now was that so hard?'
Buffalo Bills report card [5:17 AM]
Rochester D&C reports:
'Coaching: Mike Mularkey did a good job regrouping his team after falling behind 13-0 in the third quarter and wisely turned to young guys McGahee and Evans for a spark. Defense had no answer for Pennington on winning field goal drive. B-'

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.81 / 5.00 7,502 ViewsJust a little parody of 'The Mile High Club'. Sure its a little graphic...but its funny! Oh and by the way a few people have asked me what you do with the leprechaun...just kinda...play 'pin the tail on the donkey' hehe
really funny
i wasnt expecting much here, but this was actually really funny. one wonders how the dead guys dick manages to stay hard.
if the drawings were any less crappy, it wouldnt have been nearly as funny.
necrohigh - thats a solid term right there
Awesine Game
This is a surpisingly good game, i was laughing the entire time.
Does any one know what happend to the author?
That was strangely alright.
For some strange reason I found this flash movie all right, I'm surprised because it was about a sex joke and normally these kind of things turn out horrible. I guess it was due to the shock that the girl was having sex with the dead body on a seat on the plane as opposed to the toilet, while the plot to it wasn't that great it actually turned out alright. I wasn't too keen on the noises that were made while she was having sex with the body, those were pretty annoying, it also got kind of annoying having to press the button to proceed to the next bit of text all the time.
Peace Out, Afro Stud
Well, it is hard to rate a movie that is nearly six years old - but I will try my best as the expectations back then were not as high as todays. In a parody of the infamous mile high club, this movie tells the tale of a pilot who comes across a woman and her dead friend making sweet sweet cold love on a plane. It is a funny idea and the sheer fact that a girl co-scripted the concept is quite hilarious. The grapics really need some improvements. Not necassarily in the main characters on the plan, but the actual "couple" in the act. They just do not fit in with the rest of the movie. The text bubbles seem a bit outdated and never were that great, and the text could have looked better at that. The one music loop while good, was awfully repetitive.

There was a rise in closings of new homes in the Mobile, AL market in January year-over-year, and there were signs of strengthening market conditions as the percentage boost was sharper than December 2015. New home closings saw a climb of 35.0% from the year earlier to 27. This was after the housing market saw a 24.0% hike year-over-year in December.
A total of 356 new homes were sold during the 12 months that ended in January, up from 349 for the year that ended in December.
Of 472 total closings, 27 were of new homes. This is an increase on a percentage basis, as new home closings were 3.7% of total closings a year ago. Following a year-over-year decline in December, closings of new and existing homes also sank year-over-year in January.
Pricing and Mortgage Trends
The average value of newly sold homes moved to $194,818 in January 2016 from $196,014 in January 2015. This was on the heels of a 17.8% bump in December year-over-year.
For newly sold homes, the average mortgage size gained year-over-year in contrast to new home prices. In January 2016, the average mortgage size was $191,956, up 9.3% from a year earlier. Average mortgage size grew 8.6% in December 2015 from a year earlier.
Other Market Trends
There was no change in the composition of the new home market with regard to the types of properties sold in January 2016. Single-family home closings have represented all of new home closings while attached unit closings have made up no part of closings.
For all new homes sold, the average unit size fell 22.7% year-over-year to 1,618 square feet in January 2016. The average size of newly sold homes moved from 1,825 square feet in December 2014 to 1,573 square feet in December 2015.
Foreclosures and real estate owned (REO) closings fell in January from a year earlier, but remained a drag on the market. Combined, foreclosures plus REO closings represented 41.8% of existing home closings, below 46.6% a year earlier. The percentage of existing home closings involving foreclosures declined to 22.9% in January from 25.0% a year earlier while REO closings as a percentage of existing home closings fell to 18.9% from 21.6% a year earlier.

San Francisco, (San Pancho) Mexico is the perfect vacation destination and romantic getaway for any one that wants to relax or explore nature. Also, Honeymooners find that San Pancho is a special place with a wonderful romantic setting. Many guests don't want to leave the Casa, or poolside, or the beach ... but, for those who like a more active vacation there are lots of possibilities.
Within San Pancho or in the area there is horseback riding, hiking or biking in the jungle, kayaking, fishing, surfing, snorkeling, zip-line tours through the jungle, birdwatching tours, sightseeing along the coast to all of the beautiful cove beaches and interesting villages and numerous breathtaking beach views and/or views of the tropical rain forest. San Pancho also hosts a beautiful Golf course and a Polo field. (see our WEB links below for more information about these activities).
Next to us is the village of Sayulita, which is also known for it's surfing and has some great restaurants and shops. A short distance away is Punta Mita where the Four Seasons Hotel is located it is possible to book golf and/or dine there. Our location is known as both Riviera Nayarit and Vallarta Nayarit, a jewel of fun in the sun within Mexico.
In Puerto Vallarta, (25 miles south) there are numerous activities ... dominated by fine shopping and gourmet eating (from local lobster, to Mexican specialties, to the incredible shrimp of the area!) You can book boat trips for diving, snorkeling, sailing, surfing or whatever you like, or air trips to Guadalajara for shopping for the day. Pretty much every known tourist activity is available in Puerto Vallarta and we love to go, but we can't wait to get home to the tranquility and beauty of San Pancho.
Here in San Pancho you may enjoy excellent dinners at excellent restaurants like; Fodor's recommended La Ola Rica or at Conde Nast Traveller recommended Mar Plata or one of our favorites, Maria's. At night, besides our fine restaurants, San Pancho offers a varied and excellent local music scene, wonderful street food from fish/shrimp tacos to authentic Italian, an almost nightly release of baby turtles on the beach and an extraordinary polo club where West Coast matches are held regularly and can be viewed from grandstands and a restaurant under the stars as well as an active schedule of special events.
If you are interested in a more active outdoor adventure for your holiday you might enjoy kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, surfing, horseback riding, or hiking in the northernmost Colima palm jungle in Mexico, right outside our door. For those who just enjoy the beauty of nature there is excellent bird watching or whale watching and fishing as well as a Tropical Orchid garden. There is a high quality shopping experience with artisan jewelers, and art galleries as well as any number of boutiques.
At the Casa:
Pool & Beach: We have a large pool with swim-up bar, comforatble lounge chairs for that book you wanted to read. An outdoor kitchen for snacks and abartender to serve you. Boogie boards and beach chairs are available (first come-first serve)

Residential Landscapes Curb appeal. That's what it's all about in residential real estate values. Does a home look good from the street and invite people in? If you can't get prospects in the front door, you can't sell the house.And how do you generate curb appeal? Landscaping is one of the keys. Landscaping that is consistent with the tone of the neighborhood and that creates an aura of owner attention and care provides the best return on investment for the homeowner. Landscaping that is properly done can add 10%-15% to the value of a home (Niemiera 2007 and Behe 2005).Return on Investment
The greatest return on landscaping investments are those features that increase the utility of the home to the homeowner as well as adding aesthetic appeal. Patios, decks and outdoor kitchens, for example, in scale with the home with a view toward the landscaped area of the yard typically offer a high return on dollars invested.Residential Energy Savings
But beyond resale value, landscaping, particularly trees, provides other economic benefits as well. Properly placed deciduous trees can reduce the summer heat load on a house by 10% to 30%, cutting air-conditioning costs. Additionally, well-placed evergreens can reduce winter heating requirements by a similar percentage, acting as a break against cold winter winds. And as the trees grow and mature, so do the savings.Economic Value of Trees
And mature trees have intrinsic economic value. While the appraised value of a tree depends on many variables, the Council of Tree & Landscape Appraisers (CTLA) estimates that a mature tree in a residential landscape can have a value of from $1,000 to $10,000.

Success Stories
Success Stories
There are many success stories that can be told about the companies, locations and services that are delivered on a daily basis by UKSPA members. For over thirty years the UK Science, Innovation and Incubation Sector has been able to demonstrate the growth of successful businesses – often from the smallest of start-ups - into national and international businesses.
UKSPA Case Study: Cluster growth at Loughborough Science and Enterprise Park
With ready access to the University's research capability and graduate supply, distinct clusters have have emerged at LUSEP in energy, advanced engineering, low carbon technologies and sports technology. It now offers 700,000 sq. ft. of high quality accommodation for more than 55 organisations and 2,000 people
UKSPA Case Study: Strathclyde Technology & Innovation Centre
The University of Strathclyde's new Technology & Innovation Centre in Glasgow is transforming the way academics, business,industry and the public sector work in partnership to address global challenges.
Malcolm Tait of KJ Tait explains more about the concept and BDP's Architect Directors Christoph Ackermann and Scott Mackenzie describe the transformational results.
UKSPA Case Study: Sussex Innovation - Twenty Years On...
A survey of business leaders in the South East has found that almost two-thirds (62%) believe that it has become easier for companies to innovate in the past 20 years. The research was conducted to celebrate two decades of the Sussex Innovation Centre, which opened its doors on the University of Sussex campus in June 1996 – making it one of the first business incubation hubs in the UK.
UKSPA Case Study: Science Parks - driving collaboration with academia
Companies operating from Sci-Tech Daresbury are forming valuable collaborations with universities at a higher rate than ever before. The news is evidence that the science and innovation campus is achieving its aim of accelerating growth for high-tech tenant businesses by driving collaboration. While in the North East, the innovative businesses based at the North East Technology Park (NETPark) have nearly 160 active collaborations with universities
UKSPA Case Study: A decade of success at Imperial College Incubator
Imperial College Incubator in South Kensington is 10 years old this summer and building on this success they will open a new Incubator at the White City campus this autumn. The Incubator is managed by Imperial Innovations and headed up by the Incubator Manager Graham Hewson
UKSPA Case Study: ISG creates the Catapult for Cell Therapy Commercialisation
UKSPA Case Study: Measuring success and growth
UKSPA Case Study: Award Winners
UKSPA has celebrated many of these success stories through its Awards Programme and these companies, environments, initiatives and individuals demonstrate both the strength as well as the importance of the Science, Innovation and Incubation Sector.
UKSPA Case Sudy: Celebrating success in Incubation
The UKSPA 30th Anniversary Awards celebrated the achievements across the whole of UKSPA's membership and demonstrated the world class innovation within the UK and how UKSPA members and their teams work together to create business success. One of the categories was the UKSPA 30th Anniversary award for the incubation or innovation centre with the best track record of developing start-up and high growth businesses.
UKSPA Case Study: Transformational design for Manchester Science Partnerships
UKSPA member BDP is an award winning interdisciplinary practice and has been working with Manchester Science Partnerships at both the Alderley Park and Manchester Central campuses since their appointment to masterplan MSP's Central Campus in the summer of 2013 following a competitive interview process.
Nick Sturge is responsible for the direction and operation of Engine Shed and the Bristol SETsquared Business Acceleration Centre, where he manages the Centre's strategy and delivery of incubation activity to 60+ ventures. Here he describes how Brunel inspired his team to add value to the incubator offering at an old railway station
Dr Kenny Lang joined the team at Norwich research Park as Business Development Director in 2015. A former research scientist in microbiology, Kenny specialised in the commercialisation of life sciences, Kenny specialised in the commercialisation of life sciences. Now based at Centrum, Norwich Research Park's central hub of activity, he explains his role and what attracted him to the park and why he is keen to encourage more businesses to this flourishing location in the East of England.
UKSPA Case Study: Growing Companies at Plymouth Science Park
Being the UK's most South Westerly Science Park has not been a barrier to growth for Plymouth Science Park (PSP). Between January and September 2015 PSP has experienced considerable uptake in tenanted space with 27 new businesses and 15 of its current tenants increasing their tenanted office or lab space.
One such example is The Southern Health NHS Trust (responsible for health care in the South of England) uniting with Sponge UK, a Plymouth Science Park tenant, to bring new eLearning modules for the NHS.

Oh, and @UAGoalieGuy ... I'm not gonna argue about the government policies. I presented a perfect, and very recent case of this in real life sports that applies exactly to this. Or just avoid it, no big deal.
I did respond to the "real life sports example". The deal was nixed because the league didn't want to let players determine where they want to go while they are still under contract. CP3 said he wanted to go to the Knicks or LA, for the most part, which in turn lowers his value then the team would be able to get if he kept his mouth shut. Also the trade was veto'd because it didn't pass the leagues stress test of "talened young player and/or high draft picks". That I don't get how they can say what types of players need to be included in a trade for a certain player, but whatever, that league has major issues.

We identified a short peptide SWLRDIWDWICEVLSDFK called C5A, which represents a novel class of microbicidal candidates. C5A neutralizes HIV at an nM-M range without apparent cytotoxicity to human cells. C5A corresponds to a small (18 amino acids) N-terminal region (aa 3-20) of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) (477 amino acids). The sequence of C5A encompasses the region responsible for the anchoring of NS5A into the ER membrane. Importantly, in contrast to C5A (18 aa), full length NS5A (477 aa) does not inhibit HIV infection. We demonstrated that C5A disrupts the HIV membrane, but preserves the integrity of the cellular plasma membrane. The HIV membrane rupture is specific because C5A does not disturb the integrity of the plasma membrane of human cells even when used at high doses and because it does not inhibit the infection of other enveloped viruses such as influenza and vesicular stomatitis viruses. C5A possesses multiple attractive microbicidal properties: it i) blocks HIV infection of primary targets including T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells;ii) exhibits a broad range of antiviral activity against primary HIV isolates, multi-drug resistant HIV isolates, SIV and SHIV;iii) interrupts an ongoing T cell infection;iv) prevents transmigration of HIV through primary human genital epithelial cells;v) blocks infection of dendritic and Langerhans cells ex vivo (skin tissues);vi) prevents HIV transfer from dendritic and Langerhans cells to T cells ex vivo;vii) is extremely efficacious since less than 15 min of exposure suffices for C5A to neutralize HIV;viii) is potent for a considerable length of time both prior to (at least 1 h) and after (at least 1 h) addition of HIV to cells;ix) is potent at a low pH;x) is soluble in water at inhibitory concentrations;xi) is not toxic to commensal Lactobacilli present in the vaginal tract;xii) exhibits minimal adverse changes, inflammation and toxicity in cervicovaginal tissue in vivo;xiii) is not immunogenic;xiv) does not affect cellular signaling pathways;xv) apparently does not allow viral development resistance;xvi) efficiently blocks HIV infectivity when diluted in genital fluids;and most importantly xvii) vaginal application of C5A offers complete protection against a vaginal viral challenge in the humanized BLT mouse HIV transmission model. Thus, C5A represents the prototype of a new generation of microbicidal agents that may have promise for HIV prevention. In this application, we would like to follow up on these exciting data by fully exploring the possibility that C5A represents a true microbicidal candidate. In the first aim of this application, we propose to conduct a series of experiments aimed at identifying the component of the viral membrane to which C5A binds because the C5A ligand, which resides in the membrane of HIV, represents a potential target for the development of a novel class of anti-HIV therapies with an unusual mechanism of antiviral action. Interestingly, we obtained several lines of evidence that the sphingolipid called dihydrosphingomyelin (DHSM) represents the main target of C5A in the HIV membrane: i) DHSM, incorporated into HIV particles, is specifically pulled down by C5A beads;ii) C5A binds directly to adsorbed DHSM;iii) C5A ruptures liposomes constituted with DHSM;and most importantly iv) pre-incubation of C5A with soluble DHSM prevents HIV rupture by C5A and preserves HIV infectivity. The amphipathic property of C5A, the identity of DHSM as the C5A target in the HIV membrane, and the specific C5A rupture of DHSM-containing liposomes or HIV particles, provide the first hint for the antiviral mechanism of C5A action: C5A, which encompasses the N-terminal region responsible for the anchoring of NS5A into the ER membrane, by binding to DHSM enriched within the HIV membrane, disturbs the integrity of the viral membrane due to its amphipathic nature. In the second aim of this application, we propose to optimize the in vitro potency and in vivo safety of C5A by creating a second generation of peptides using the parental C5A peptide as the archetype. All newly synthesized peptides will be tested in genital fluids for their in vitro microbicidal properties. The most potent compounds among the newly synthesized peptides will be selected. Remarkably, we found that acetylation, amidation and glycosylation of C5A greatly enhanced C5A anti-HIV activities in genital fluids. This is the proof-of-concept for the feasibility of identifying C5A derivates with enhanced anti-HIV activities. In the third aim, the most potent C5A derivates will be assessed for safety and efficacy in the HIV vaginal transmission BLT mouse model. Kinetic administration studies will be executed to determine how long before and/or after the viral challenge C5A precludes HIV transmission. In the fourth aim, safety and efficacy pilot studies will be conducted in another SIV/HIV vaginal transmission animal model: the progesterone-treated macaque model. If similar protective results were obtained using the two transmission models, it would further validate the use of these models for the screening of microbicidal candidates. In addition, protective results would provide proof-of-concept of the usefulness of topically applied microbicides, such as C5A, to prevent genital HIV transmission.
The goal of this project is to conduct in vitro and in vivo studies designed to support the preclinical development of short peptides as novel anti-HIV microbicides. There is an urgent need for the development of safe, effective topical microbicides to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV and to allow the female partner to take personal responsibility for use and application. The development of a safe, effective acceptable topical microbicide to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV could play a major role in worldwide reduction of the over 14,000 new HIV infections per day, and potentially save millions of lives.

I can speak highly of their customer service: I was able to get my order submitted in Excel file and they handled the rest. I wish most US businesses were as efficient and fast. " R. D. - USA - April 30, 2009 "I wanted to send a gift to my boyfriend in UK and am in one of those developing countries where the use electronic payment system is not available to pay online with a credit card, and my bf's birthday was on Saturday. I googled a weekend delivery facility and thanks God I found Giftbasketoverseas. I sent an email to them seeking confirmation that they would deliver on saturday and got a confiration response in the next 5 min... I was like waouwwwww... what a professional customer service! When order time came I wondered how will I pay? I went through their website and found offline payment methods suitable to my location, -a wire transfer to their bank account or western Union money transfer. I sent the cash via western union and communicated to them MCTN, they collected the cash then asked me for details of my order.. they created it.... The basket was delivered on the right day and at the correct location, my boyfriend was speechless when he received it... I really appreciated the professionalism of the service... Great!"
