When I hear the stories of what is happening to families all across our country during our government's 'shut down' I wonder, "Congress, where is your empathy?" I find myself wondering this thought about other situations, too. Henry David Thoreau said, "Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?"
Awhile back, I had an encounter with a guy named Ned that reminded me of this saying. Ned was telling me of an exchange he had had with a woman in a grocery store who appeared to be in a big hurry or simply not paying attention to others. Ned was on a main aisle of the store and this woman came rushing out of one of the side aisles and ran into his cart with her cart. No damage was done and no one was hurt, but Ned was immediately angry at this woman and he proceeded to tell me of how he gave her a piece of his mind. He yelled at her that she needed to watch where she was going and she didn't need to be in that big of a hurry. Soon the lady began to cry and Ned nailed her for that, too. He told her he wasn't "buying that crying crap" and that she needed to be more careful in the future. She apologized, and while crying went on her way. Feeling good about what he had accomplished, Ned continued on his way, too. Another man standing there started to clap for him and told Ned that the woman had also ran into him, and that she deserved to be told off like that.
Dismayed at Ned's behavior, I asked him if he had given any thought as to why the woman might have acted like that. He shrugged his shoulders and stated that he didn't care, that she didn't need to be hurrying like that. I suggested that perhaps she was having some trouble in her life at the moment and that she wasn't able to pay as close attention as she might have otherwise. I found his reply difficult to understand. Laughing, he said that he is now of the age where he doesn't care what other's may be going through, and that if he thinks he needs to say something he will, even at the expense of the other person's feelings. I couldn't help but wonder where was this man's empathy?
This incident has stayed with me for several weeks for several reasons. One reason is because I have often had a lot on my mind and probably not paid attention to what I was doing. I would be very upset (perhaps to tears) if another person spoke to me in such a cruel manner, then didn't accept my apology, and laughed at my tears.
Secondly, the woman did apologize. Give her the benefit of the doubt and move forward. That day, Ned let his emotions be controlled by his circumstances instead of by his character (Independence Day, Independent Thinker).
Thirdly, most of us don't go running into people on purpose with our grocery carts and then cry about it. These were signs that something bigger than grocery shopping was going on in this woman's life. Yet, two different people didn't pick up on it. Maybe something big was going on in their lives as well.
Fourthly, I know Ned. I know what kind of a person he is capable of being. He has been an example of a kind, gentle, loving person. Many people look up to him. It is very troublesome to see this change of behavior in this man. I have to ask myself, "What is going on in his life to cause him to act in this manner?"
Lastly, situations like this make me question myself and I can't help but wonder about the times I have let my emotions be controlled by my circumstances instead of by my character. I am reminded of the times I have knowingly acted inappropriately. I am embarrassed and ashamed about it. I am far from perfect! I, too, need reminders to live a better, kinder life. I have also come to realize that often, just having an audience makes us less kind. I can't help but wonder that if no one was around would Ned have reacted differently to this woman?
In my New Year's Resolutions post, Reflect, Re-Evaluate, Resolve, I talked about promoting compassion and peace. After spending time thinking about the situation with Ned, I realized it was a good time for me to look back at those resolutions and conduct a self-check. 2013 Resolutions:
- To be kinder than necessary, especially to those with whom I find it difficult to get along. If I can't be kind, I can be quiet. I resolve always to be respectful.
- To be more tolerant of people whose opinions and choices with whom I disagree. Being tolerant does not mean I condone these opinions and choices, but simply that I understand we each have the freedom to choose.
- To always remember that violence does not beget peace and hate does not beget love. I see mild forms of hatred and violence in everyday life. It exists; however, I vow not to surrender myself to it.
- To practice peace each day. Gandhi taught that we must be the change we want to see in the world. This includes in our neighborhood grocery store.
I recently saw a video on You Tube called "Empathy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDDWvj_q-o8. It is a gentle reminder to us that we don't know what is really going on inside the lives of others. I challenge all of us to live a more empathetic life, and "to look through each other's eyes for an instant."
Be kinder than necessary, be grateful, and create a peace-filled week,
Ms. Brown

In January I used the colours and expected to do so again in February but I got thinking about the question.
'What do I remember?' Well there are lots of things I remember but strangely I started thinking of the Liberty bodices that my mother used to make me wear. Silly thing to base a quilt on but you have to start somewhere.
Using cream calico, I added panels, tucks and inserted bits of lace (I wasn't really posh enough to have lace on mine but when I did a search on the Internet there were some). Very elegant, like this one.
I then cut my journal piece up and re-stitched it, did a little quilting, pin tucking and then added a few buttons, vintage and modern. I haven't used binding on this one, which is a real change for me, I thought I would have a go at bagging it. Not too sure about it but it will do.
And as this is a short post I will add a couple of detail photo's of it, haven't thought of a name yet.
I like it and it's a few more techniques that I haven't done before so that's good. The trouble is I haven't plotted its progress as promised to Sharon for the second month. I did start and finish in one day so maybe I can be excused again !!!

Since first sitting down with Nick Garrison a while back, it might sound cliché to say, but a lot has been brewing over at Foolproof. They are still working hard at producing their core lineup of beers (which seem to be growing year after year) and actually includes a revised recipe/version of their flagship Backyahd IPA. Nick told me, "We wanted to keep the profile of the beer but made some tweaks to it. We lowered the bitterness, increased the dry hop and introduced El Dorado hops." Along with this, they also introduced two limited release beers. The first was their Lab Series IPA and the second was their Federal Hill Ale, the latter being a collaboration with famous RI Chef Walter Potenza. It is described as a pale ale brewed with blood oranges as well as saffron and was dry hopped with Mosiac and Citra hops – hops that help create complementary citrus/tropical fruit flavors and aroma. The beer had a great initial reception and the plan is to brew it again and release it in conjunction with the Columbus Day holiday which is a big celebration on Federal Hill. As you can tell, Foolproof continues to push their creative boundaries and look to provide more new and exciting releases.
Speaking of new releases, the latest and greatest beer coming out of the Pawtucket brewery is called The Grotto. As Nick explained, "It is a New England style IPA. It's our newest year round beer. We used a variety of American hops, including Mosaic and Citra, and left the beer itself unfiltered." When looking at the can, it is a departure from the traditional look you would associate with the rest of their beers and brand image but the name still associates with their theme of pairing beers with different life experiences. "A grotto, which is essentially a hidden cave, can be a place to escape, like a hidden paradise. We wanted to make this beer like a little getaway. There is plenty of juicy flavor and citrus aroma, which you can relate to a tropical paradise." The crew at the brewery has been ramping up production having not only first the initial release but also subsequent batches in production with the intent to begin rolling it out into the market. There has been a big push on their social media platforms for the big debut. "When it came to brewing this style beer we stayed in tune with what people are drinking and also what we love drinking. We actually learned from the success of our Federal Hill Ale (the two beers share some similarities)." It is an exciting new release for Foolproof and hopefully one that locals and visitors will be coming out to get their hands on.
Along with The Grotto, there continues to be more news coming out of the brewery and plenty of events going on as well. Nick mentioned, "We are working on a new rotating beer series called Forecast, which will be rolling out in new chapters every three months. It is a play on the weather and how it is ever changing here in Rhode Island and the styles of the beers will be more non-traditional. The first one to come out will be a dry hopped session sour ale. "New innovation is definitely an exciting part of the job." In addition to their existing and innovative beers, there are some great events to keep an eye out for as well. From their most recent Bach & Beer night which was a big success, to Yoga & Beer nights, comedy events and even the upcoming Donut & Beer night (the perfect combo if you ask me). As Pawtucket continues to be a hotbed for brewing in RI, Foolproof keeps looking to innovate and pair their ever growing beer selection with a variety of different everyday life experiences. With that, whether you plan on attending an upcoming brewery event or are planning to stock up at your local liquor store, be sure to get your hands on The Grotto soon!

Edwigé Allore, shopkeeper extrordineré, lived most of his life in the nooks and crannies of the town of Carcassonne. After the first World War took his father, the duty of bringing bread to the family Allore's home was Edwigé's. It was during the time Edwigé held the small shop of his family he begun to develop an interest towards magic.
It all began with the shopkeeper of the neighbouring store, an antique bookshop. He was a fine old lad with more than a couple of quirky habits, one of which being an uncanny ability to perform tricks with a coin. Turned out that playing with a coin was not the only thing this mysterious lad was able to do, and as years passed he begun to share his secrets with Edwigé, whom this old man saw as an apprentice of a sort.
WWII was where things changed. Edwigé did what he was expected to, and fought valiantly against the Nazi onslaught. France had always had un mettre importance in Edwigé's heart, but as the Blitzkrieg left the nation shambling, the true nature of his country was suddenly revealed.
"Cowards and sheep, mon ami. Cowards and sheep. The war changed moi, oui, but it was surely for the better. I lost my compagnon for nón.. But in America, things are better. People, they are heureux! Surely not sheepish! This is the land of Freedom, oui! Contrée en Freedom, ready to be explored!"
As it stands, Edwigé crossed the ocean and travelled to the west coast. Having heard about the Movietown, he rushed over, and took the first contract he was offered. Turned out that while Allore was very good at performing his "magique", his contract owner just doesn't give a fuck what a French hohum does on the Cotton Club stage: as long as he does the hours he gets the pay. As thus, while not so happy with his superiors, Edwigé has fulfilled his dream of having an own magic show.
Lately, Allore has had some doubts of people following him. Many people have visited his show again and again, specifically focusing during certain acts. Whatever the case, this intrigues Edwigé: maybe they are agents of another instance and they'd have a better deal for him or something. Or maybe they are from French army? Not like he had left in some mysterious circumstances, but…

Snorkeling at Long Beach is loved among tourists. Phi Phi Here you go common to discover the magnificent 2m long Black Tip Reef Sharks. There is no need to worry; these creatures are timid of course.

Question Corner
Priests and family counseling
Father Kenneth Doyle
Often in my own 50 years in the priesthood I have declined to take on the role of primary counselor for someone with deep-seated issues...
Q. Recently our bishop spoke out about how cold and unwelcoming some parishes can seem. I recall one instance where I called the priest at our church and asked him to meet with three family members and myself (all of us, regular parishioners) to try to resolve some personal matters that we had.
I was shocked when he told me that family counseling was not a part of his training unless it involved a matter of religion, which it did not. He had no suggestions as to where I could seek help and seemed bothered that I had even brought the matter to his attention.
My husband and I have been so put off by his response that we have not been to church since. Where does the church stand on parish priests counseling their parishioners? (Virginia)
A. I agree with the priest on the matter but not (if your portrayal is accurate) on his manner. Very few parish priests are trained thoroughly in the science or art of counseling as a professional psychiatrist or psychologist might be.
Often in my own 50 years in the priesthood I have declined to take on the role of primary counselor for someone with deep-seated issues, for example acute marital conflict, a long history of family tensions or even suicidal thoughts. I felt that it would have been irresponsible to assume an identity far beyond my skill set.
What I have tried to do, though -- and what I think is always a priest's obligation -- is to show sympathy and a desire to help. I regularly refer parishioners to our diocesan counseling center with its trained staff of professionals.
What I sometimes do, too, when I think an inquirer might find it more comfortable, is to meet with a person initially, try to clarify the issues and offer support, and then make the contact myself with our center to arrange an appointment for the one in need.
I do want to comment on your decision to stop going to church because of the way you were treated. I disagree with the priest, as I have mentioned, and I apologize for his evident lack of concern.
But the only one you are hurting now is yourself -- by depriving yourself of the strength of the sacraments. Why not just pick a different parish?
Q. I have noticed that more often than not, the Confiteor ("I confess") is skipped at Mass, and the priest or deacon goes right into the "Lord, have mercy" prayer (Kyrie). I have inquired as to why they do this but cannot get an answer. In the Tridentine Mass, the Confiteor was important enough to be said twice -- initially by the priest and then repeated by the altar servers. Is this just to save time or are we forgetting the importance of asking for forgiveness before we ask for mercy? (Atlanta)
A. The writer is evidently unaware of the options offered in the current edition of the Roman Missal, which was introduced in 2011. One of three different formulas may be chosen for the penitential rite, recited by the priest or deacon.
The first uses the Confiteor, with a text very close to the one the writer remembers from years gone by. The second involves a short dialogue of psalm verses, while the third one uses three invocations made to Christ, with the congregation responding by calling out for mercy either in English or in Greek ("Kyrie eleison").
It is important to note, though -- and this, perhaps, answers the writer's concern -- that all three formulas begin with the invitation by the priest for those present to acknowledge their sins in preparation for celebrating the Eucharist and that all three are followed by the priest's words asking for almighty God to "have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life."

Demographics Will Drive Global Economic Agendas
In an interview at Davos with WSJ's Alan Murray, Ernst & Young CEO James S. Turley said resolving long-term economic problems worldwide will be driven by demographics such as the average age of a country's population.

Colin Powell Stands Up For Chuck Hagel; Goes After Palin and Sununu For Racial Comments
Colin Powell spoke on Meet the Press.
"This is a guy who would be very careful about putting their lives at risk because he put his life at risk," Powell told NBC's David Gregory.
Hagel, who was seriously wounded while serving as an Army infantryman in Vietnam, was a Republican senator from Nebraska from 1997 to 2009.
"He knows what war is and he will fight a war if it's necessary, but he's a guy who will do it with great deliberation and care," Powell said.
Secretary Powell, who voted twice for President Obama, said, "I'm still a Republican."
…but he delivered a prolonged criticism of the Republican Party, rebuking the hawks in the party. "They've lost two elections. The American people have made it clear that they are not particularly interested in finding new conflicts to get into."
"I think what the Republican Party needs to do now is to take a very hard look at itself" and at the attitude of some Republicans toward ethnic minorities, he said, accusing unnamed Republicans of "intolerance" and "(looking) down at minorities."
Powell criticized – although did not identify by name — former New Hampshire governor John Sununu, who served as chief of staff for President George H. W Bush and as an aide to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, for calling Obama "lazy" after his first debate performance and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin for using the phrase "shuck and jive" in criticizing Obama's explanation of the administration's response to attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi.Click here for reuse options!

Warrior Camp Update
I wasn't planning on doing this today. In fact, some days I deliberately avoid it, because I know my tendency to turn Warrior Camp Updates into a marathon email or blog that you avoid reading (cause it's novel-length) and which ends up being so thorough it burns up my time like a candle marinated in gasoline. (Looks like this could be no exception!). Ever get that feeling that you really want to do something, but you procrastinate and even wince, cause you know what it will require to pull it off well? Yeah, that's me.
Or maybe I should say, that's me…normally. Today though seems different, like now the timing of the "Warrior Camp Update" wasn't something I jotted on the calendar, where I give everyone a heads up on what God has been doing in the ministry. This time God's been whispering, preparing me for this moment, and gently prodding in a new direction. Something more personal. "Do it now."
I could create another video update, where I get to share how Warrior Camp is now poised to debut in Central Virginia this Spring, on one stellar 162 acre location, complete with the best of all worlds: field, slopes, forest, and pond. That alone is a great story, massive praise, and a huge answer to prayer, and one that leaves me speechless, humbled and unfathomably grateful. It would also be a great kickoff as the first Warrior Camp Update for 2010. (I'm practically still pinching myself, wondering when I'm gonna wake up!). On Thursday, I even got to go sledding at my recently discovered and properly named "Kamikaze Slopes," where it takes every ounce of will power to override your survival instincts. Then and there, one run was officially coronated as "Speed Demon" and the other "Orbital". (I'm sure you can guess why). One allowed me to single-handedly be the first man on a tube to break the sound-barrier, and the other enabled me to catch a glimpse of Mercury before finally cratering back on Earth. Somehow, the fact that I even write this blog from the farmhouse (rather than ICU) is a miracle in itself. (For those of you who pray for me, don't stop!).
But honestly, the update I had in mind and really wanted to share, involved all the exciting Warrior Camp ministry opportunities that await here at "The Farm" this Spring. I have a blizzard of stuff circulating around in my head right now to share, and realistically, I probably would have fired up the Webcam before the end of the month to relay all the good news and answered prayers. (And maybe we will go there in the near future). But now, God has something different in His mind.
At the risk of being anti-climactic, it all began yesterday as I was cleaning my room (not my favorite thing to do, ever since I was a kid). I was listening to a song on my computer, cause I still hadn't retrieved my stereo out of the attic/labyrinth at the Finn House. The Finn House or, "Finn Legendary" as I call it, is my old house, whose land-lord was so busting-proud of being from Finland that he built a sauna in our basement, and many of whose 7 roommates share a common thirst for the epic. Life at the Finn Legendary could inspire movie directors. Blow-Gun wars, food fights, strategizing together against "Gordo," the grotesquely obese and garden-pillaging gopher, huge and popular Saturday breakfasts dominated by plates of pancakes and followed-up with reading from God's Word, miniature castle-siege games on the floor, pranks on the sister house, comic retaliation from the sister house, romances with the sister house, snow-battles, snow-ins, house church, movie nights, Wii tournaments, crazy group dances to the adrenalized pulse of a strobe light, guns, sledding and zip-line adventures, camp-outs, bonfires, invincible bonds of friendship, lessons in survival, combat, and girls, spiritual growth and discipleship, and the authentic, immortalizing brotherhood in the sauna at 1:00 a.m. I'll always consider myself a proud member of our epic Christian bachelor pad, no matter where I lay my head. It's a chapter in my life story which I'll cherish forever.
That was before we took Warrior Camp on the road to Washington this past summer in July 2009. Now, for the first time, upon my arrival back in Virginia, I actually had the chance to fulfill my boyhood fantasy and live in a farm house…on a real farm! (The only rain on my parade occurred during the move, when I saw I would have to rescue my desk and book-shelf, which, along with the yard-sale appearance of the backyard, were at the mercy of the rain and the notoriously invincible red Virginia mud).
Now, a little over three weeks later, I found myself almost completely moved in, and reflectively organizing my new room while listening to my favorite band play through my nasal laptop speakers. The last few weeks had been a roller-coaster of peaks and valleys, a swirl of emotion. Leaving Idaho, and 2,500 miles later, finding yourself in Virginia. It feels like you're being transplanted like some uprooted tree, hastily dug out of your native soil in the middle of the night and already Fed-Exed before sunrise. A reluctant good-bye to family made more difficult by endearing time, and at the same time, a joyous reunion with close friends after a long separation. Who would have thought it would be this way? And then, sometimes in life or ministry, you're surprised to find that things you thought you may only dream about, have now been afforded you. Then a wise saying comes to mind: "To whom much is given, much is expected." It reminds me of Jesus' parable of the talents, and His encouraging endorsement to the worthy servants, namely that "You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things" (Matthew 25:23). Then, amidst God's blessing, with integrity, diligence, gratitude, prayer, and laughter, you want to show yourself faithful, and flourish before the Lord amidst the undeserved favor of Heaven. I think that's how it should be, how God intends it.
I'm at a point in my life now where grad school is in my rear view mirror. After studying across an 11-month window, I completed my final language placement exam for German last May. I passed (again, thanks for your prayers!) and received my Master's Degree and Diploma soon after. I joke with friends about how 2010 will my first year since kindergarten where I haven't had more academics hanging over my head like a thunder-cloud! And while I wouldn't want to change a thing about my education (besides adding more recess) I'm certainly enjoying my new found freedom! And yet one thing that is beginning to strike me as a profound mystery is this: as one chapter in your life story concludes, another begins, sometimes with surprising speed. Sure grad school is done, but now should I quit being an East-West pin-ball and start thinking about where to put down more permanent roots? Sure, I don't have papers to write or finals to study for, so how can I use that extra time to the max for spiritual growth and for Warrior Camp? Then, for movie night at the sister house Thursday, we watched Braveheart. If that doesn't hit you in the chest like a sledge-hammer and confront you with the reality of what you're doing with your life, nothing will. And, with Valentines (aka "Single Awareness Day") approaching, it's either time to contentedly lock in as a bachelor, or to entertain the feminine mystique. Question of the year: God, where am I going from here?
The song lyrics strike a chord, giving artistic life to the soul-searching saga that stirs,
The surf and the sky and the Sunshine Coast of gold
Floating on a long board, life on hold
I never know the way, but you always take me there
And I need it now, like the Mooloolaba air
We'll roll with the next wave, boys
We'll sing out, we'll make some noise
God is alive and my magic is no good
And He's called me out on this walkabout
He leads me to water and traces each song line
And I know to know His ways are higher than mine
So roll out the road rig, boys
We'll sing with a grateful voice
Let all tears turn to gold
And the hell that's raised
Lord, let it fade away
As Your glories unfold
Give us a part to play
Grant us another day
Let all tears turn to gold
And all the hell I've raised
Lord, let it fade away
As Your glories unfold
Give me a part to play
Grant me another day*
These are exciting times in which we live. When college and grad school are over, and you've taken your last exam, that's when I'm realizing my newest (maybe greatest) adventure is just beginning. Big decisions. Big stakes. Freedom. Uncertainty. The thrill of the unknown. Lots of prayer. Nothing to hold you down. Time to do what you've always wanted, and squeal the tires on the way there! I think that's alot like what Abraham, Moses, David and the apostle Paul felt, when God rocked their world with a huge green light to join an epic adventure with Him. I definitely don't have all the answers. In fact, the more I think about it, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want them, even if God offered them to me on a silver platter. Would you? Where's the excitement, faith, or adventure with God in such a life? Our favorite heroes from the Bible didn't live like that. They lived their lives by faith, listening for God's voice, and trusting Him. They seemed to live in the present, with hope for the future, because of what they had seen God actively do in the past on their behalf. Someone once said, "The Christian life is probably both less glamorous and more epic than you've been taught. But who would want it any other way?"
Looking back, it's exciting to see the big picture of where God has walked with me, and probably where God has walked with you too. Where He's brought you from. The valleys and peaks, the defeats and the triumphs. Men are forged in such ways. Wallace's tragic loss of Murron and Scotland's victorious stand at Stirling seem to be somehow connected. Luther's daring posting of the 95 theses, and the reformation that rekindled Christ's church. Israel's 400 year bondage in slavery, and how their deliverance concretized their hope for the Promised Land. A man's finest hour often occurs on the heels of his most grueling crucible.
I don't know exactly what's next, and in some ways, I feel like I can relate to just "floating on a long board", with life on hold. But more than almost anything, I desire to play my part in God's unfolding epic. And God's been telling me to look at the kind of man I wanted to be when I was a young boy. I praise God that I am that man. That's a win on God's score-board, and it should be on mine. "Look at what you wanted to do when you were younger?" I thank God that I'm doing what I was made for. "Look at the things you've prayed for." I give Him glory for His abundant and unmerited provision, that He's a big God! "Look at the joy that is rightly yours." I can praise Him more and more for His gifts of love and laughter.
"Where am I going from here?" Perhaps sometimes, there's a better question we'll want to ask. "Where am I this second?" And rather than always scanning the horizon with our future-obsessed binoculars, hopefully we can lay those down once in a while and also look at the road behind us with a smile, and say, "I'm where He wants me to be."

Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. Zusätzlich bieten wir Ihnen MYL1 Antikörper (57) und MYL1 Proteine (10) und viele weitere Produktgruppen zu diesem Protein an.
Showing 10 out of 22 products:
MLCK and phosphorylated MLC are potential prognostic indicators of leiomyosarcoma.
these results provide new insights into the sequences and modifications of myosin light chain isoforms in the human and swine hearts, which will pave the way for a better understanding of their functional roles in cardiac physiology and pathophysiology.
These results support the concept of the ATP-induced transient interaction of the essential light chain-1 N-terminus with the motor domain of the myosin head.
polymorphism of intron MYL1 was associated with endurance performance, specifically in endurance trainability, but not genetic predisposition, in human adults.
This study provides an additional mechanistic link between Angiotensin II and vasoconstriction via SFK-enhanced MLC phosphorylation in smooth muscle cells.
MRK (zeige ICK ELISA Kits) is a novel RhoC (zeige RHOC ELISA Kits) effector that controls LPA (zeige APOA ELISA Kits)-stimulated cell invasion at least in part by regulating myosin dynamics, ERK (zeige EPHB2 ELISA Kits) and p38 (zeige CRK ELISA Kits)
Disturbed myosin binding (zeige PPP1R12A ELISA Kits) of mutated hVLC-1 may provide a pathomechanism for the development of hypertrohic cardiomyopathy.
In vitro degradation of human recombinant MLC1 by MMP-2 increased after ONOO(-) exposure of MLC1 in a concentration-dependent manner
Influenza infection activates a series of signaling pathways that converge to induce myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton.
altered TM-actin contacts destabilized the thin filament and affected the actin-myosin interactions
changes in thermal unfolding and the domain structure of myosin subfragment 1, were studied.
Data indicate that the W-to-S structural transition in the actomyosin complex during the ATPase cycle is strongly modulated by myosin essential light chains (ELCs) isoforms, with implications for contractile function.
Data indicate that phosphorylation of skeletal myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) plays a role in regulation of skeletal muscle contraction.
During the active interaction of actin and ATP with myosin, myosin light chain A1 is more effective at stabilizing the strong-binding state of actomyosin, while myosin light chain A2 tends to stabilize the weak-binding W state.
The orientation of the essential light chain region of myosin in skeletal muscle was determined by polarized fluorescence.
Independently of the thick filament backbone, the velocity of skeletal muscle myosin is decreased upon phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain due to an increase in the myosin duty cycle.
aPKCzeta is required for the cellular organization of acto-non-muscle myosin II (NMII) cytoskeleton, for proper cell adhesion and directed cell migration.
Data show that Ca(V) 1.2 and 1.3 channels are expressed in lens, regulating phosphorylation of aquaporin-0 and myosin light chain and expression of connexins 50 and 46.
Results show that the binding force between selenium and cardiac myosin (CM), which consists of two heavy chains (MHC) and two pairs of light chains: MLC1 and MLC2 (zeige MYL2 ELISA Kits), was 100 times stronger than that of daunorubicin (DNR) and CM.
The present work further established the role of MuRF1 (zeige TRIM63 ELISA Kits) in muscle atrophy and for the first time shows that MuRF1 (zeige TRIM63 ELISA Kits) plays a role in muscle fatigue and twitch potentiation.
Targeted deletion of the MLC1f/3 downstream enhancer results in precocious MLC expression and mesoderm ablation. This suggests that the enhancer and its flanking sequences in clude negative regulatory elements as well as positive ones.
myotome pairs are transiently left-right asymmetric, with higher expression of alpha-skeletal actin and myosin light chain 3F (MLC3F) on the left side between embryonic day 9.5-10.25.
Using double reporter transgenes study demonstrates that each enhancer can activate both Mlc1f and Mlc3f promoters in vivo, revealing enhancer sharing rather than exclusive enhancer-promoter interactions.
MLC1f expression is reversely related to the proliferation of muscle cells.
Myosin is a hexameric ATPase cellular motor protein. It is composed of two heavy chains, two nonphosphorylatable alkali light chains, and two phosphorylatable regulatory light chains. This gene encodes a myosin alkali light chain expressed in fast skeletal muscle. Two transcript variants have been identified for this gene.

At the end of October, I had the pleasure of speaking briefly to the Société d'Histoire de Toronto. The SHT is a petite, dynamic community organization that punches well above its weight. Over the last few years, it has realized the Sentier Partagé/Shared Pathway project along the lower reaches of the Humber; organized a regular series of talks on various historical topics; and conducted scores of guided tours of sites in and around Toronto. Next year, as part of the celebration of 400 years of francophone presence in Ontario, the SHT is re-enacting Étienne Brûlé's 1615 trip down the Toronto Carrying Place (an expedition which the Société has kindly invited me to join). Ils sont débrouillards, ces amateurs d'histoire! They know how to get things done!
The SHT is just one of the players behind the growing fascination with Ontario's early history. The Mississaugas of the New Credit are the host aboriginal nation of the 2015 Pan-Am Games, and plan to highlight Toronto's Native heritage next summer. The Town of Penetanguishene is restaging Samuel de Champlain's 1615 visit to Huronia, and the Ontario400 project (run by the provincial government and several other organizations) is happily encouraging and promoting events to commemorate Ontario's 400 French years...
Then there are the books. Just to mention a few of the most recent and readable:
- Before Ontario: the archaeology of a province ed. by Marit K. Munson & Susan M. Jamieson (2013)
- Along the shore, by Jane Fairburn (2013)
- Dispersed but not destroyed: a history of the seventeenth-century Wendat people by Kathryn Magee Labelle (2013)
- Toronto: biography of a city by Allan Levine (2014)
I am delighted to find my own book in such distinguished company and to play a small part in this renaissance of interest in the history of Southern Ontario.

Feenix Vitesse Optical Gaming Mouse Review
Introduction, Specifications, and Pricing
In the recent past, we have seen two products previous to this from Feenix, and from what we can recall, we were impressed with what they had to offer. While the larger mouse did take on aspects of Cooler Master mice, Feenix still delivered a mouse that could stand on its own, built on a laser sensor, and was ready to take on anything you could throw at it. At the same time, we were also sent a hard plastic mouse pad to go along with the Nascita, called the Dimora. As a combo, both products were top of the line and came in packaging that from the onset, made you feel that you were opening professional grade products.
As time has passed, Feenix felt there were two segments of the mouse world that they may have been missing out on supporting, leading them to develop the mouse we are showing you today. The first of these segments is the optical sensor lovers out there, and for gaming with accuracy, many will tell you there is no better way to address this than with the use of an optical sensor. The second factor, and one that plays more into your genetics, than that of any product, it the dimensions of the mouse. This time around, rather than building a larger mouse, Feenix is also offering this latest design in a compact frame, which does seem to be what a lot of people gravitate to for gaming as well.
All of this culminates in the release of the Feenix Vitesse optical gaming mouse. In their quest to fill this void with something from the Feenix lineup, we find that even from the start, there is a certain elegance and professional feel to every level of this mouse, even with the packaging. Feenix does not cut any corners in their attempt to offer a smaller more universal mouse for the masses either. While there may be slightly better options to be chosen for the internal components, in the Vitesse, you find all of the top tier players in sensor technology and switch offerings.
Along with this, you are delivered a mouse that feels much like their original Nascita, but we do lose some of the lighting and the LCD DPI display. Even so, Feenix is still able to deliver a mouse that can inform you of everything you want to see, yet at the same time, giving us a mouse that fits well in hand and is ready for battle with any game you may choose to play.
In the chart provided from Feenix, we see they hold nothing back when it comes to the specifications. First off, they are sure to mention that this is a standard-size gaming mouse, so whether you have a small, medium sized, or a large hand, using the Vitesse will be comfortable. The Vitesse uses the Avago/Pixart PMW3310 optical sensor to track movement, and it is ergonomically designed for right-hand use only. Dimensionally, the Vitesse is 4.5 inches from front to back, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches in height right about in the middle of the curve found on the top. The Vitesse weighs in at only 90 grams, sports a 1.55-meter long rubberized cable that terminates in a gold-plated USB 2.0 connector, and it uses a mix of textured plastic and a rubberized surface to add to the comfort and grip of this mouse design.
The Vitesse offers on-the-fly DPI adjustments, both forward up the scale, and backward down it, with a maximum of 5000 DPI. All of the DPI settings are preset as there is no software to go along with the Vitesse, and these settings are 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 5000 DPI. As far as lighting goes, there is the Feenix logo found on the heel of the Vitesse, and this light will change from yellow to green, then to white, on to blue, and uses red as the indicator of the maximum DPI level being set.
As to the rest of the specifications, we see that Feenix uses Omron switches under the main buttons, the Vitesse is shipped with a 2ms response time, a 500Hz polling rate, and can track at 130 inches per second, taking 6500 images per second to track even the slightest movements. The last bit of information found is something many users can appreciate too, and that is the fact that the Vitesse ships with an extra set of Teflon feet.
At this moment in time, there are two ways to obtain the Vitesse inside of the United States. One way is to buy the Vitesse direct from Feenix at their MSRP of $59. The other way is to venture over to Amazon to buy it. The odd thing about Amazon is we found two links selling the same mouse. One of them shows the Vitesse selling identical to the MSRP, and comes with free shipping to Prime members. The second link shows an astronomical price of $141 but is from a third party retailer. If it were our money, we would stay clear of that last option, as we have yet to see a mouse worth that sort of an investment.
Outside of the styling and feel of the Feenix Vitesse, it is near identical to the Dream Machines DM1 Pro we just looked at, but requires an additional $10 in cost. Hopefully, at the end of seeing everything the Feenix Vitesse has to offer, we also see a reason to pay more for this over the likes of the Dream Machines design.

Not all children will have to be transferred straight away. The guidance from the Department of Education makes it clear that schools should begin working towards moving all children and young people with statements in England onto EHC plans from September 2014. The DfE says: We want this transition to happen at a pace that is achievable and which maintains the quality of support both to children and young people making the transition and those still on the previous system.
The DfE advise local authorities to transfer children and young people to the new system at points in their education when a significant review would have taken place such as transition from early years to primary, primary to secondary, secondary to FE or from a mainstream to special school or vice versa within the transition period (September 1st 2014 to 1st April 2018).
Goups of children and young people who should be transferred to the EHC Plan by the local authority in 2014/15 are:
- Children with statements in year 9;
- Children and young people issued with a draft EHC plan before September 2014; and
- Children and young people with a statement leaving custody between
1 September 2014 and 1 April 2015.

The arrival of Martin Doyle in September as deputy chairman of Paragon Diamonds (LON:PRG) was a fairly low key affair.
But the Scotsman's vast industry experience – he is a 35-year veteran of De Beers - is already being put to good use quietly behind the scenes.
Having now taken on the role of chairman, the strategy he is helping to craft reflects this background.
It marries the processes you'd expect to find at the world's largest diamond producer with the junior's desire to add value at each stage of the exploration process.
It will also draw on experts in the field of micro-diamond analysis and resource modelling as Paragon assesses the huge, but as yet untapped potential of the Lemphane project in Lesotho.
This is a low-grade kimberlite that it is hoped will yield some very high value stones.
But the plan is also about turning the AIM-listed prospector into a multi-project play.
So Doyle's blueprint will also draw on all the other assets in the Paragon portfolio, though there could be acquisitions to bolster the pipeline.
The company currently has the promising Kaplamp Lamproite project in Zambia which "can't lie there doing nothing" as well as assets in Botswana and Tanzania.
To date the focus has been on Lemphane, where bulk sampling work is being carried out, and Motete, a dyke deposit 10 kilometres from the flagship project.
The most recent news flow has come from Motete, which has the potential for early cash flow.
While the samples taken so far from the dyke are encouraging, Doyle believes the company's cash resources should be spent bringing potential company-maker Lemphane up to the same stage of development.
"There's clearly higher-value, larger stones [at Motete] and the next step in the resource development process would be to increase that parcel size to 1,000 carats," Doyle told Proactive Investors.
"However, this is going to cost quite a lot of money. So I think from a portfolio management viewpoint we have to get Lemphane up to a similar level of decision-making so we can take an informed decision on both projects."
Near-term, the challenge will be bringing Lemphane along the exploration curve towards resource definition – and this will have its challenges.
That said it sits in a fairly prolific diamond region with the world-renowned Letšeng mine less than 30 kilometres away and the promising Liqhobong deposit almost on the doorstep.
At six hectares it is about the size of the satellite pipe at Letšeng, which means "the tonnage is there if we can get the [diamond] valuations", says Doyle.
"But there are quite a few pitfalls along the way if you don't get the sampling right," the Paragon chairman adds.
"In Lemphane our expectation is the grade will be low. Our expectation also is there will be high value diamonds.
"We have had some initial indications that this is the case but nothing concrete."
So the next year-and-a-half will be spent attempting to firm up this assertion.
Paragon is currently bulk sampling some 35,000 tonnes of ore taken from near surface to gain an idea of the potential grade and diamond quality of Lemphane.
However, Doyle is keen to know about the internal geology of the pipe – to discover whether the grade and diamond quality continues, and perhaps even improves, at depth.
This means drilling out samples from deep down in the kimberlite for microdiamond analysis.
In that endeavour Paragon can call on the expertise of Johan Ferreira, a leading light in this specialist area of resource estimation.
A team directed by Matthew Field of AMEC, another world renowned figure in his field, will be used to define the size and extent of the resource.
"This will give us a picture of the internal geology of the pipe. It will also give us better certainty of its shape and depth and therefore its tonnage," says Doyle.
A contractor will carry out an initial 2,000 metres of drilling although the group is hoping to acquire its own rig.
Paragon will also look to assess the liberation characteristics of the kimberlite in order to anticipate potential diamond recovery challenges before going into production.
The crucial juncture will come at some point next year when the group has to decide whether to take a bulk sample from lower down the kimberlite.
To establish the diamond value assortment could potentially be a large and quite expensive undertaking in a low grade kimberlite, although modern sampling and statistical techniques can reduce this.
"How to actually do this we have not decided at this point," Doyle says.
Just to get to this resource definition stage is likely to cost US$4.5mln, and the bulk sample "at least as much again", the Paragon chairman reveals.
An alternative might be a trial mining period as part of a planned lead-in to full scale production.
The company is still assessing how it will finance the work required just to get to resource definition at Lemphane.
But on funding Doyle is a pragmatist. "If you don't have the money to execute the project properly, don't even start," he says.
"You might have three-quarters of the money. Still don't start. You won't have the answers people want.
"You want to put the portfolio together in a way that it is only advanced with properly informed decision making. That way there is no re-work or recycling."
Meanwhile, defining a resource may actually prove to be an end in itself.
"We are a finder and developer. We don't currently have the full team with experience of building and running [a large mine]," says Doyle, although that can obviously be changed.
"We have to determine what we want to be. And I think we want to be a resource developer. The real value creation for companies and shareholders comes at the early stage of development."

LG Chocolate BL40 announced
The LG Chocolate BL40 has been unveiled this week and is just one of the latest phones to be announced by the manufacturer.
It was revealed the most recent entry in the South Korean firm's Black Label Series would be equipped with a new four-inch screen that uses a 21:9 aspect ratio.
This is the same format that is used for most commercial DVD and Blu-ray releases – and for those with multimedia in mind the list of features does not stop there.
LG has fitted the BL40 with 7.2 HSDPA support and a Dual Screen user interface.
John Barton, sales and marketing director of LG Mobile in the UK and Ireland, said: "Like its predecessor, we are confident that the new Chocolate will create its own legacy and further enhance our standing in the market."
This week also saw the company launch three new smartphones, all of which use Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, while Vodafone revealed it would be the first network to offer the LG GM750 in October.

One response to the idea of peak renewable energy has been that subsidies for energy are commonplace and while they remain, they should apply to renewable energy just as they do to coal and oil and gas. If they did, then the idea of peak renewable energy falls flat.
To deal with this response we need to understand something about costs and subsidy. Let us look at costs first.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) calculated the costs in dollars per megawatt/hour of different energy sources as follows: Conventional coal power: $100.40; Natural gas: $83.10; Nuclear: $119.00; Onshore wind power: $149.30; Offshore wind power: $191.10; Thermal solar power: $256.60, Photo-voltaic solar power: $396.10.
According to the EIA, the availability, i.e. the ability to produce electricity on demand is 85% for coal, 87% for natural gas, 90% for nuclear, but only 34%-39% for wind and 21%-31% for solar. For CSP Solar to produce electricity the other 74% of the time requires costly thermal storage or an auxiliary fossil fuel boiler (usually a natural gas boiler that operates at about half the efficiency of a modern combine cycle natural gas turbine).
Availability is important, since capacity to produce (e.g. a wind turbines capacity) is not the same as actual production from that energy source. The above estimates of availability (production) are optimistic.
What is clear so far is that renewable energy is less reliable and more expensive than abundant energy from gas or coal. It is also more expensive than nuclear.
This is why governments, for environmental reasons in part but also so as to support a "green economy agenda", subsidize renewable energy. Let us look at energy subsidies.
According to an EIA study based on 2008 data, the U.S. subsidizes solar power to the tune of $24.34 per megawatt hour, $23.37 per year for wind, but only 44 cents for coal, 25 cents for natural gas and $1.59 for nuclear power. If renewable energy was as prevalent as fossil fuels, we couldn't afford the subsidies.
The argument that renewable energy is efficient is lost. The argument that renewable energy is subsidized in just the same way as other energy sources is lost - look at the scale of the difference in subsidy. The argument that remains is the impact on CO2.
Yet as we have grown our renewable energy sector in the US, Canada and Europe, CO2 emission have risen. The impact is negligible.
The political willingness to support renewable energy may be peaking as more and more politicians realize that renewable energy systems are not the answer they were looking for.

On 9th June the UK Government took an interesting step - the cut subsidies to solar:
As of the beginning of August, installations of solar power that are between 50 kilowatts and 150 kilowatts of capacity will receive 19p per kilowatt-hour produced, down from 32.9p. Larger installations of up to 250kw will receive a reduced tariff of 15p per kwh and field-size installations of between 250kw and 5 megwatts of capacity will get half that, at 8.5p per kwh. Both larger sizes were previously paid 30.7p per kwh.

text: A Korean publication has claimed that most variants of the upcoming Galaxy Note 3 flagship will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, rather than the Exynos 5420 octa core chipset. However, it doesn't rule out the existence of the octa core variants, as about 20-30% of the units will be apparently running on the said chipset. We're guessing most of the Snapdragon 800 running phablets will be concentrated towards North America, which has a massive market for smartphones. The handset will officially launch on September 4 as the successor to the widely acclaimed Galaxy Note 2 smartphone. The launch event will also be host to the unveiling of the new Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to pack a 5.7 inch 1080p AMOLED display, a 13MP main camera, 2MP front facing camera, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and a mammoth 3,450 mAh battery. The Exynos 5420 variants of the Galaxy Note 3 will probably remain exclusive to Asia. Source: ET News (Translated) Via: TechKiddy

In 2001 Phish announced an innovative live archival series of releases called Live Phish in which they would put out batches of classic shows. Between September 18th, 2001 and May 2003 the group released 20 amazing performances from 1989 to 2000 under the Live Phish moniker as Live Phish Vol. 1 to Live Phish Vol. 20 that are now out of print. Back then, Phish launched a website to promote these releases that contained assorted video clips, audio and photos from many of them.
The video clips run the gamut from the band's '94, '95, '96 and '98 Halloween shows to the Buried Alive > Wipeout opener from 14 years ago today (11/27/98) to a portion of the only known Phish performance of Charlie Parker's Moose The Mooche from the Giant Country Horns tour. After all this time these Live Phish promotional clips have finally made it onto YouTube thanks to TylerPenn. Now, keep in mind these vids were put out way back in the early '00s when bandwidth was hard to come by, so many are pixelated as hell and the audio is distorted. However, they still give a good look at the footage stuck in Phish's archives and a view of a number of fine moments in the band's history. Plus, the Moose The Mooche clip is the best of the bunch – a fun watch for Phish fans.
We've compiled a playlist of the 15 Live Phish website clips for your viewing pleasure:

I'd love to see the complete footage from the Binghamton show. I was there, and my good friend Dan was the cat who made the chess move. That show, from my hometown, was insanely good. I wish they'd play here again!

Room 101 was the small apartment where Thomas A. Anderson lived in the Matrix and it was also the starting point of his journey of The One.
Design and AppearanceEdit
Room 101 is a small, one-room apartment within Mega City in the Matrix. Within this room Neo has one bed, one chair, and dozens of computer peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, headphones, a stereo system, CD players, audio tapes, and compact discs.
The room is messy and has shelves filled with books and CDs. Some of Neo's books are pageless and are instead used as small boxes to hold program CDs and tapes. There is also a small cabinet on the wall holding canned food and other condiments.
Neo spends most of his time within this room on his computer hacking into different computer systems and writing software. It is during this time that he wonders about his life and why his dreams are as real as his own life.
Neo also uses his computers to search for Morpheus and Trinity during his time wondering about what the Matrix is and how can he figure out the truth and purpose of his life.
In his room, Neo is awakened and confused by strange messages from his computer that tells him, "WAKE UP, NEO.", "THE MATRIX HAS YOU..." and "FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT".
A party of people led by Choi and Dujour visit Neo at his apartment for some illicit software disks. He leaves the apartment with Choi and Dujour after Neo sees the white rabbit tattoo on Dujour's shoulder, remembering the strange messages from his computer. At the dark dance club Neo meets Trinity for the first time; the mysterious hacker who sent Neo along his path earlier that night and consequently resulting in his late arrival to his job as a software programmer at MetaCortex.
Neo awakens again in his apartment (materialized there to falsely believe he experienced a nightmare) after Agents interrogated him that afternoon and planted a bug in Neo's body through his stomach to help them find the "terrorist" named Morpheus. Morpheus asks Neo if he wanted to meet, and instructs him to go the intersection of Wells and Lake Streets. It would be the last time that Neo would inhabit Room 101.
The room number, 101, is an allusion by the Wachowskis to Neo's destiny as the One, and contrasts to Room 303, a surveillance room used by Trinity. 101 is also the number usually attributed to a course or manual for beginners in a particular field (in this case it represents the beginning of Neo's path to hacker enlightenment).
Room 101 can also be seen as an allusion to the Room 101 of George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is a torture chamber in the "Ministry of Love" in which a prisoner is subjected to his or her own worst nightmare, fear or phobia.
The Number 101 also appears in The Matrix Reloaded when Morpheus, Neo, and Trinity first go meet the Merovingian. It is above them as they are walking down the hall. Possibly another Orwell reference seeing as how their worst fears are realized in this place. The place is wired with explosives and has the Ghost Twins, and the Werewolf that Persephone later kills. The French Man is also a Hades figure, seen in Club Hel in The Matrix Revolutions, which, together with his betrayal by Persephone, alludes to Greek mythology.
The number 101 also represents the customary Masonic lodge number. This number in Masonry represents the Temple of Solomon's two pillars, Baoz and Jachin, (1's) accompanied by the central Brazen Sea (0). Forming the "101", which literally symbolizes the entrance to the Holy of Holies, or figuratively signifies the beginning of one's esoteric and gnostic journey to self-actualization.
101 can also be seen as a binary number, the 0s and 1s used by computers to store information. 101 is the binary representation of the number 5 (which, in computing, is the sixth number, as counting begins from 0). Some see symbolism in this, as the three films are set in the sixth iteration of the Matrix. Neo is the sixth person to be the One, Zion has been destroyed 5 times before, and so on.

Greed, selfishness, and avarice, or scrupulousness, are some of the most common defects among people in the world. But history of mankind produced some really greedy, rapacious characters. They reached the paroxysm of greed, forgetting the simple fact that life on this earth is just ephemeral ...
Let's see a top of the most greedy people in history:
1) Marcus Licinius Crassus (115 BC - 53 BC)
While Marcus Crassus was still a young man became obsessed with wealth which will make the main feature of his character. He rented land and bought slaves just to trade them later on a better price. An inexhaustible source of enrichment for Crassus was offered by Rome's difficulty in providing housing for everyone. Ancient Rome was overcrowded and buildings extremely exposed to fire which was one of the most frequent causes for having entire neighborhoods destroyed. But this situation was favorable for speculation. Crassus had organized teams of firefighters, saving the houses from fire and then he bought the burned houses for a small price and after some reparations he rented them. Greed proved fatal to him as Crassus got killed during a disastrous military campaign when he wanted to conquer the Kingdom of Parthia, famous for its wealth.
2) Ghenghis Khan (1162-1227)
Great Mongol Khan wanted to hold everyone, and was about to achieve his dream.Before his death, his empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to the Adriatic.
3) Pope Sixtus IV (1414-1484)
The Pope was greatly enriched by the fact that he imposed taxes to the brothels and claimed that the souls in purgatory can go to paradise if indulgences for the dead are bought by their living relatives.
4) William H. Vanderbilt (1821-1884)
Vanderbilt was an american rich man of the nineteenth century who was perhaps the richest and most powerful man of his times. He controlled the largest rail network in the world and became famous with his famous words: "The public be damned.! I only care about my property. "
5) William M. Tweed (1823-1878)
Tweed was a land owner in New York but also had banks, railways and hotels. His fortune, in terms of value today would be around 8 billion dollars so far. But he was famous for his avarice and greed, many cartoons of the time being made on the subject of this "flaw" of his.
6) The Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908)
Although she started her "career" as the whore of the Chinese Emperor, meanwhile she managed to become "de facto" the head of this large Asian country for nearly 50 years. She became famous for the 3,000 boxes of jewelry she owned and used the money of the Chinese Navy to build a marble boat where she was dining using 150 golden chop sticks.
7) Charles Ponzi (1882-1949)
He was one of the greatest American crooks of all time. He was the creator of so-called "Ponzi schemes" which doubles the money originally deposited in 3 months. Greedy to make money from whatever was immeasurable.
8) Imelda Marcos (1929)
Tagalog wife of President Ferdinand Marcos, is suspected of having stolen, along with her husband over 5 billion dollars of wealth Philippines. When she and her husband have been deposed from power in 1986, authorities found in Imelda's lockers in Malacañang (presidential palace) over 3000 pairs of shoes, size 37. Imelda's extravagance was beyond any acceptable limit. During an expedition to purchase real estate in New York, she decided to buy the Empire State Building, but eventually gave up. Evaluated at about $750 million, the building did not exceed her financial possibilities, but she said it was an acquisition too glaring. " Instead, she spent fifty-one to get Crown Building and sixty million for Herald Center and two other apartments in Manhattan.

WEIU-TV reports:
Recent dog attacks on mail carriers in an eastern Illinois community have postal officials warning residents if they don't control their pets they might find themselves fetching their mail.
Georgetown Postmaster Alicia Ford says postal officials are considering going to a centralized delivery system that would force customers to pick up their mail at drop stations.
Postal officials say that the Vermilion County community has the worst record for such confrontations in the entire postal district that stretches from Danville to St. Louis.
They add things are getting worse.
They say postal workers have been bitten and in less than two weeks the postal service has received 25 calls from carriers reporting confrontations with dogs on customers' property.
