1 review for Plug-In Solar 500W DIY Solar Power Kit with Roof Mount (For Metal Sheet Roofs)
My order arrived quickly and was well packaged. After reading the installation manual, I had a couple of questions which were promptly answered by Mark via email.
The panels were a perfect fit for my shed roof and were easily secured using the supplied mounting brackets. Connecting the panels up to the micro-inverter and subsequently to the mains via the isolator provided was also relatively straightforward. The panels are now up and running, and I am delighted with the savings being made. Very happy with my order and the support received.

Holy sh*t, I just now looked at the "Best Shows" category and that may be the absolute worst part of this entire poll. Dollywood is a perfectly respectable #1 assuming we're talking about stage shows and not nighttime shows, but if we're NOT talking about nighttime shows then how the f*ck is Fiesta Texas #2?
We went to Fiesta Texas this year knowing about their reputation for good shows but we didn't see one because every show was some crappy singing and dancing show with Six Flags quality vocals. Maybe they used to have good shows but they don't now except for their nighttime show which is stunningly good for Six Flags but I mean... if we're doing this based on nighttime shows then you all know Happily Ever After exists right (and probably tons of other Disney shows around the world that are also better)?
Also, how is Busch Gardens Wiliamsburg #3? I've never seen a show at that park that didn't make me want to leave early. If you think Busch Gardens Williamsburg has better shows than any Disney park, any SeaWorld park or even any Universal park (and their shows aren't even that great) then you really need to put the crack pipe down.
I get that these awards are bullshit, but if you honestly say with a straight face that Busch Gardens Williamsburg has better shows than every DIsney, SeaWorld (branded) and Universal park on earth then you should have your voting privileges revoked.

Press Release
30 August 2018
Napocor terminates water spilling operations at San Roque dam
After containing huge water inflows from five successive typhoons and rains from enhanced southwest monsoons
The National Power Corporation (Napocor) on Thursday announces the closing of all spillway gates of San Roque dam after it reached the target elevation of below 275 meters above sea level (masl).
As of 8 AM today, the dam's elevation is at 274.62 masl. Its normal high-water elevation (NHWL) is 280 masl.
Napocor's Dams Management Department (DMD) said that the target elevation will give leeway for future water inflow especially during another tropical depression.
The corporation also emphasized the flood mitigating function of dams which helped hold and control huge amount rainfall from going straight to the Agno river and nearby towns.
Water discharge in brief
It can be recalled that the San Roque dam started its spilling operations in the morning of 12 August 2018 when its elevation breached the NHWL of 280 masl. Water elevation peaked at 287.19 masl on August 14, 2018 due to the continuous large inflows from heavy rain caused by Tropical Storm Karding and the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat). Spilling of water from Ambuklao and Binga dams which cascades to San Roque dam also contributed to the increased elevation.
For the next ten days, spilling operations continued to avoid overflow and to allow sustained decrease in reservoir water elevation until it reaches the target elevation of 275 masl.
However, the declining elevation stalled at 276.28 masl on 24 August due to the moderate rainfall brought about by Tropical Depression Luis which also increased the water discharge of upstream dams Ambuklao and Binga.
San Roque dam's elevation peaked at 281.00 masl in the morning of 27 August, thus the continued water spilling operations. It finally attained target elevation on 30 August at 8:00 AM.
Napocor said that few weeks prior to Typhoon Karding, the Ambuklao, Binga and San Roque dams already contained massive amount of rainfall and water inflow brought about by Tropical Storms Henry, Inday and Josie in North and Central Luzon.
Dams for flood control
Napocor said that apart from power generation, dams likewise have flood control and mitigation functions, preventing loss of life and property caused by massive flooding. Dams impound floodwaters and release them under control to river or store them for other uses like irrigation.
"We continually monitor the inflow of water to the reservoir and the PAGASA reports so as to be on guard on the dam's situation," said Napocor's DMD Chief Conrado Sison.
Napocor assures the public that the corporation, along with the San Roque Power Corporation who operates the San Roque hydropower plant and SN Aboitiz Power who operates Ambuklao and Binga hydropower plants, strictly complies with the coordination protocol on dam operations as contained in its Dam Safety Program.

I love these freaky coincidences and over yoga in remote India.
Speaking Of Traveling in India
The synchronicity of the world constantly amazes me. Yesterday I wrote about traveling in India, and today I receive an email from my friend, Dorothy, who hails from Edinburgh, Scotland. Dorothy and I became fast friends when we both attended a very special Yoga retreat in a remote area of central India a few years ago.
We ended up in adjacent bunks but we shared more than a bedroom – we both came down with a case of Delhi Belly and kept each other company from our sickbeds. Here's what she sent me as a reminder:
"In case you have not heard of him Robert Burns is much celebrated Scottish Poet and we have Burns suppers on 25th January where we eat haggis and neeps (turnip). This is a rip off of the poem 'To a Mouse.' I can do a translation of the Scottish language for you if you like!
The day after the Burns supper….
…..oh whit a sleekit horrible beastie
lurks in yer belly efter the feastie
nae maiter whit yae dae
abodys gona hiv tae pay
even if yae try tae stifle
its lyk a bullet oot a rifle
hawd yer bum tight tae the chair
tae try n stop the leakin air
shimmy yersel fae cheek tae cheek
'n pray tae god it disnae reek
oot it cums lyk a clap o thunder
ricochets aroon the room
michty me a sonic boom!
God al michty it fairly reeks
hope I huvnae shit my break
Dorothy x"
But Even without the English translation, I think you probably get the gist of the poem. Good memories, Dorothy! I still say it was providence that led us to choose the two beds closest to the bathroom in the first place. Miss you and love you a bunch!
3 Comments on "Speaking Of Traveling in India"
that is soooo sooo nice entry. I love how you co-relate yoga and India in your writing. You are a good writer. that's a gift and thanks for sharing it to us..
And talking about synchronicity and yoga and India all in the same sentence. I was just thinking about how I learned about yoga on a houseboat in the Kashmir when I stumbled on this post and your first words about synchronicity. Everybody is so connected even when we think we are apart. Great post!

Fractal geometry was essentially discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot in the nineteen sixties and seventies, based partially on the work of Gottfried Leibniz, Georg Cantor, Henri Poincare, and Helge von Koch. Mandelbrot coined the term fractal in 1975 in his foundational book, revised and published in English first in 1977 as Fractals: Form, Chance, and Dimension, and then further revised and expanded in 1982 as The Fractal Geometry of Nature. In his book, Mandelbrot elucidates the mathematical sets that produce fractals along with a conceptual framework for their understanding, which demonstrate that many objects and processes found in both nature and human culture develop self-similarly, or through the closely related concept of self-affinity, which he describes as "the resemblance between the parts and the whole." That is, coastlines, fern leaves, stock markets, turbulence, and many other complex processes and entities all recursively repeat similar structural patterns across different scales of magnitude, so that one part of the leaf magnified looks very much like the larger leaf, or the distribution of stars in one galaxy looks very much like the distribution of many galaxies in a galactic cluster.
Furthermore, Mandelbrot shows that fractals possess fractional dimensionality, which, along with the fractured topology of the objects fractality describes, is why he named them as such. For instance, a Koch snowflake, a triangle with successively smaller triangles symmetrically added to the object's outer surface, at first producing a Star of David, and then increasingly resembling a snowflake with each successive iteration, exhibits a dimensionality of approximately 1.26. This mathematical object can be extended into a third-dimensional space by substituting pyramids for triangles, which exhibits a dimensionality of approximately 2.58. The degree of the object's or process' fractional dimension is significant, so that a 1.1 dimensional object traces a curved line, while a 1.9 dimensional object bends back upon itself in complex convolutions so that it almost fills a two-dimensional plane.

Everyone enjoys a clean home, but for the elderly or disabled, even simple housekeeping tasks can become unmanageable.

If you require additional security and support for your shipping or transport applications,
our heavy duty Enviro-boxes are an affordable and environmentally friendly solution.
Developed in conjunction with WRAP, the Waste and Resources Action Programme, the
Enviro-box offers a sustainable and reliable alternative to larger double wall boxes
with the following unique features:
Customers interested in learning more about these products can use the information
provided below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer
support team. For those looking to purchase our heavy duty Enviro-boxes, we offer
a quick and easy online checkout system.
Recycled content ranges from 60% to 90%.
These heavy duty single wall boxes from Kite Packaging are also known as our 'Enviro-box'.
They offer the protection of traditional double wall boxes but use less material.
Our Enviro-box combines superior strength and durability with an efficient material
design. In similar fashion to our single wall cardboard boxes, the heavy duty Enviro-box
features a single-wall structure that offers advanced support over our standard
single wall and double wall boxes.
The Enviro-box is one of the UK's most environmentally friendly boxes, helping to
reduce material waste in the shipping and moving industry.
Our double wall cardboard boxes also offer heavy-duty strength and durability, providing
two layers of corrugated cardboard that increase resistance to crushing during transport
Most of our heavy duty Enviro-boxes are also multi-scored, meaning that the height
of the carton can be adjusted to suit different contents. They have pre-scored fold
lines at heights stated in the table above, simply cut down the corners using a
box cutter and fold along the new
Manufactured from a reinforced single wall, it is robust enough to be reliable yet
cheap enough to be affordable.
The Enviro-box is a versatile and durable choice for individuals and companies requiring
a cardboard product with enhanced strength and portability. Thanks to a reduced-weight
design, the Enviro-box is an efficient and user-friendly alternative to standard
heavy duty boxes. The larger sized heavy-duty boxes feature hand holes for ease
of transit.
Whether for commercial or personal uses, the Enviro-box is well suited to both large-scale
transportation operations and more conventional storage and shipping projects. If
customers are shipping extremely heavy objects, however, we recommend our double-walled
export and pallet boxes. The Enviro-box is also ideal for companies looking to maintain
firm policies on eco-friendly practices.
Available in a range of sizes, customers purchasing the Enviro-box can benefit from
the product's multi-scored construction, allowing for adjustable depth and height
levels. For individuals or organisations purchasing larger orders, bulk pricing
options are available. Wholesale pricing options are also open to our high-volume
Below are a selection of relevant videos that will help you with using your cardboard
boxes. If you are still unsure of anything to do with the boxes then please call
We sell various types of boxes, from standard duty single wall to extra heavy duty.
Single wall boxes are identified by the prefix 'CSW'.
Heavy duty Enviro-boxes have a clear 'Enviro' print on one of the flaps.
Double wall boxes have a code starting 'CDW'.
Our single wall boxes have a single layer of corrugated board. They are our best value option for packing lightweight goods. Enviro-boxes are made from a thicker and more rigid single wall board. These are suitable for slightly heavier goods. Double wall boxes have 2 layers of corrugated board, making them our strongest general-use boxes.
Watch a demonstration video on how to adjust the height of multi-score boxes using one of our safety cutters.
Many of our cardboard boxes have multi-score lines that allow the height to be adjusted.
We sell a box cutter that enables this to be done quickly and safely, due to its retractable blade.
Multi-score lines are clearly visible, look at the table on the box page for their height.
Using the knife, cut down each corner to the height you require.
Insert your items, then fold down the flaps to the new height.

Single wall cardboard boxes
General purpose boxes made from single wall cardboard, for packing, shipping & storage.
48mm (2 inch) packaging tape
General purpose packaging tape for various applications. Choose from 66m or cost-effective 150m rolls, and acrylic, hotmelt and solvent adhesives.
The measurements of a cardboard box always refer to the internal dimensions of the carton (the usable space), not the external dimensions. Depending on the grade and fluting of the cardboard, the internal and external dimensions of a box can differ significantly.
The first dimension is always the longest opening dimension. The second dimension is the shortest opening dimension. The third dimension is the height (sometimes referred to as the 'depth').
Remember to leave space for any extra padding you wish to use to protect your product. For example, if you are using bubble wrap to cushion the item, then you should add at least 5mm to each dimension.
Corrugated cardboard consists of a corrugated sheet (the 'fluting') that is glued to a flat sheet of paper (the 'liner').
Cardboard boxes are made from corrugated board that has a liner on both the inside and outside of the fluting. The strength depends on the combination of the size of the fluting and weight of the paper.
A single sheet of fluting that is sandwiched between two sheets of paper is referred to as single wall cardboard. By adding a second sheet of fluting you get double wall cardboard, which offers extra strength (suitable for heavier items, more resistant to crushing when stacked, better puncture resistance).
You can get cardboard in a variety of sizes of fluting, and each has its own benefits. Smaller fluting means the cardboard will have more rigidity, whereas a larger fluting offers better cushioning to your goods. Double wall cardboard is commonly made from 2 different sizes of fluting, so you get the benefits of both types.
If the fluting only has a liner on one side (leaving the other side as bare cardboard fluting), then it is referred to as single face board. It does not have the same strength or durability as other types of cardboard, but it is cheap to produce and is commonly used for padding and protection.
Cardboard boxes can be made from two different types of paper. Kraft paper is manufactured from softwood trees. Thanks to these 'virgin' fibres, it is both strong and easy to print on. This means it is commonly used for the outside liner paper of cardboard boxes.
Test paper is made using recycled paper. This means it is cheaper to manufacture but it gives the paper a mottled effect. It is commonly used for the inner liner of cardboard boxes.
Many of our boxes have a multiscore feature, giving you the option to vary the depth of the box to a pre-scored dimension. As well as functioning as a standard cardboard box, they also have an extra crease on the inside of the box.
Simply cut the existing slots (between the flaps), fold along the pre-scored crease and you create a shallower depth carton.
The diagram to the right illustrates a multiscore box. The blue dashed line is the full height of the box, whereas the red dashed line is the multiscore height. In this diagram, we have already cut down between the two front flaps and folded the front side of the box to the new reduced height.
Some boxes have more than one multiscore depth, offering you a wide variety of box heights whilst only having to keep a single size of box in your warehouse.
Compare our most popular types of boxes in the table below:
Step 1:
How big is your product? Standard box dimensions are given in the order length x width x height. Measure the length with a tape measure. Next, measure the width. Measure the height / depth.
Step 2:
Select a box that is slightly larger in all 3 dimensions. This will allow for extra padding to protect your product. You will need the INTERNAL dimensions of the box. Depending on the board grade, this could be up to 10mm less than the external dimensions. To check that your box is the correct size, measure the length, width and height on the INSIDE of the box. All dimensions provided for our boxes are internal.
Step 3:
Wrap your product in a suitable padding material and place inside the box. It should be a snug fit to prevent movement.
Step 4:
Close the box and seal with tape or strapping as required. Consider our custom logo printed tape for a cheap branded sealing option.

Liberal moron Melissa Harris Perry on MSNBC is a race baiting, imbecilic liberal who should have been fired long ago; someone with such a lack of common sense who continues to offend the masses with her race baiting rhetoric does not belong in the public eye! This morning she stated that the Bundy's, and everyone that went to show support are linked to white supremacy, really? Apparently, Ms. Liberal Moron is not aware that support for the Bundy's is not a race issue because there are black people who not only support them, but also went to Nevada! How she came to this conclusion is beyond me, and once again, she has no idea what she is talking about, and is not reporting the facts as is her job!
To liberals everything is racist, no matter what the issue, if it's not in line with their train of thought (that's an oxymoron because they do not think!), they start yelling racist!
To summarize, the Bundy's who are standing up to big government, aka Harry Reid, who turns out to have illicit ties that will personally gain him and his son Rory who is representing a Chinese corporation that wants the land, are all white supremacist… is she high? How could anyone in their right mind come to such a conclusion and why is she and other MSM networks not reporting the TRUTH that this family is being railroaded and set up; that's rhetorical, we all know why! The Bundy's have been fighting this legal battle for years, and they paid the grazing fees to both the state and county! It's the federal government that is illegally demanding the additional funds; let them get it from the state and county who were already paid! The Bundy's are being harassed by a tyrannical government that sent thugs to their home and physically assaulted and killed their cattle with no care or concern for their Constitutional rights which they blatantly violated!
All this over a cattle rancher whose family has been grazing cattle for more than 140 years!
Ms. Moronic Imbecilic Liberal should be reporting that Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy performed a remarkable public service for America over the last couple weeks. He exposed the utter ruthlessness, brutishness and gestapo tactics of the federal government in dealing with honest, hard-working Americans who live off the land which happens to belong to We the People and not the few narcissistic tyrannical politicians who are supposed to represent the People and what's best for the American People; they are representing themselves, Agenda 21 and the UN!
The false claim that Bundy's cattle ranching operation was endangering desert tortoises is false, and the Bureau of Land Management (big government) treated him and his family like criminals! And now, to make matters worse, when Cliven Bundy's neighbors and Patriots from around the country turned out to support him, as good American neighbors should, the BLM sent in helicopters, four-wheel-drive vehicles and an estimated 200 armed officers to deal with the cowboy and his family, threatening another Ruby Ridge or Waco-style slaughter! Once again, MSM is spinning the story to suit their liberal lies and personal agenda.
Cliven Bundy's son, Ammon Bundy grimaces as he shows taser marks on his chest
This was about something else… It's always about something else when the government takes an interest. It has to do with another Nevadan by the name of Harry Reid. Apparently, the Senate majority leader has been doing favors for Chinese energy giant ENN, which has plans to build massive solar facilities in that area – tortoises or no tortoises. Another illicit factor in this farce is that the director of BLM is Reid's former senior adviser, Neil Kornze; no bias here, drink your kool aid and move along like good little sheep. BLM had posted on its website documents stating the agency wanted Bundy's cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations. The agency removed it when the standoff became national news.
"Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle," the document states… that pretty much says it all.
This is not over by a long shot … especially with Reid declaring the 'Patriot Party' supporters who gathered at Bundy's Nevada ranch 'domestic terrorists' … do you know that by proxy Reid has officially declared war on Americans, specifically those who support the Bundy's… that's treasonous and unconstitutional!
Call me a proud American Patriot terrorist because I, and Prepare To Take America Back support the Bundy's!

By the fifties, The Ice Cycles operated primarily in Canada and the northern U.S. but also hit several cities in America's Midwest and West Coast. In short, if the Ice Capades tour didn't stop in a city for whatever reason, the Ice Cycles most likely did. Thanks to a stroke of luck at an antique shop in Great Village, Nova Scotia, I chanced upon a copy of the program of the 1953 tour. I also did a little digging to offer a greater sense of what that year's tour was all about.
For starters, in most cities that Ice Cycles stopped during the 1953 season, the show played non-stop matinee and evening shows to packed crowds for days at a time. Some of the stops were longer (an eleven day stop at San Diego's Glacier Garden in November 1952) and others longer (a three day stop at the Ottawa Auditorium in April 1953) but on average the show played in each city for a good five days.
Among the numerous stops were Fresno, Spokane, Portland, Shawinigan, Toledo and Calgary's Stampede Corral. Ticket prices ranged from one to three dollars, with programs going for thirty five cents apiece. The tour travelled with its own musical director, percussionist, organist and conductor and hired orchestras in each city it visited to play as needed.
Shirley Winter
The cast of the Ice Cycles Of 1953 wasn't full of instantly recognizable names but that's not to say some very talented and popular skaters didn't participate. France's Raymonde du Bief made her Ice Cycles debut on the 1953 tour and was perhaps the biggest headliner. Other prominent professional skaters who participated included Margaret Field and Jimmy Lawrence, Chuckie Stein, Shirley Winter, William Knapp, Marjorie Taylor and Ronnie Baker, drag comedienne Willie Kall and the handsome Marshall Garrett. Trixie The Skating Juggler was a huge hit during the first half of the tour but left after Christmas to be replaced by the adagio team of June and Bob Ballard. Charles and Vida Uksila directed the performances and wardrobe and choreography was done by Chester Hale, Rosemary Stewart and Bob Dench.
Though hailed as 'nine shows in one', what made the Ice Cycles Of 1953 tour historically significant was that it marked the first time the Walt Disney version of "Cinderella" was staged on ice in North America. This historic 'first' took place through an exclusive arrangement with Walt Disney and understandably played a huge part in why the audiences were so abundant. Keep in mind that at point in the film version that we all know and love had only been out for three years!
The half-hour long skating adaptation of Walt Disney's "Cinderella" condensed the entire story, starring Field and Lawrence as Cinderella and Prince Charming, Shirley Winter as the Evil Stepmother, Terry Derfield and Gayle Winters as Anastasia and Drizella and Priscilla Matson as the Fairy Godmother. The December 11, 1952 issue of the "Spokane Daily Chronicle" noted, "The number is the longest and by far by the best in the show. The costumes and the props in the 'Cinderella' play are breathtaking. One prop, the pumpkin coach, seen only for a few seconds, is valued at several thousand dollars."
Willie Kall and Marshall Garrett
Other prominent acts included "Gypsy Gold", a lavish production number starring du Bief, Knapp and Winter and The Ice Cyclettes and Cycliers; a Christmas act with youngster Chuckie Stein dressed as Santa Claus himself; a Teddy Bear's Picnic and a patriotic number called "State Of The Union" dedicated to those serving in the Korean War. In December when the show was in Spokane, a free, condensed matinee show was given for anyone under the age of sixteen, provided they made a clothing donation to be sent overseas. The December 14, 1952 issue of "The Spokesman-Review" explained that the donations were being accepted so that "a number of youngsters will suffer a little less from the bitter cold of their Oriental winter." This kind gesture was coordinated by John H. Harris and a former Ice Cycles cast member serving in Korea named Lieutenant Roger Russell.
"Minstrel Daze"
After studying skating's regrettable history of bringing blackface to the ice, I was a little terrified when I saw that the grand finale of the Ice Cycles Of 1953 was called "Minstrel Daze". Thankfully, the powers-that-be on the tour that year had the good sense to completely avoid the horribly offensive and racist fare offered by others who tackled similar themes, instead dressing the skaters like the kind of Southern dandies one might see at Blanche Devereaux's family reunion.
Delightfully campy, with elaborate stage sets, intricate costumes and diverse casts, the touring ice shows like Ice Cycles that enjoyed success throughout the world for decades serve not as relics of a bygone era but as reminders of skating's true entertainment potential.

New Paths: The Expanded Monk & Ninja
This pdf is 18 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 1 page SRD, 1 page advertisement, leaving us with 14 pages of content, so let's take a look!
After one page of cover art sans fonts (nice if you need a hand-out!) and further reading advice, we delve right into the new content for monks:
–Beast-Soul Monks gain animal companions at the cost of flurry of blows and stunning fist and may transform into an animal as appropriate for their style – i.e. a crane-style monk would get a bird as an animal companion and could learn transforming into an animal – usually in an analogue to the beast shape spells and with the exception of the mantis-style, which would work as per vermin shape.
–Clockwork Monk: Now if the name wasn't an indicator – this particular archetype is tied to Midgard's Gearforged race of sentient constructs and thus comes with some uncommon design-choices – for example the fact that instead of still mind, they get bonus hp and that they actually are proficient in armors etc. They can also choose a utility, which is included in their rebirth as clockwork beings – and ties said mechanic to some class benefits, making this a true racial archetype, not just one that had a race slapped on. The capstone transformation into an inevitable lacks bold letters for its name, though – a minor formatting glitch.
–Monks of the Compliant Rod Style are masters of combat with quarterstaffs and Bo-Staffs and may enhance the damage the deal via ki to progressively make their weapons count as bigger sizes regarding the damage dice.
–Monks for the Glorious Endeavour get only ONE weapon proficiency which may be exotic, but can't be changed. When wielding anything but

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

Cleaved Histone H3 (Thr22) (D7J2K) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of histone H3 protein when cleaved at Thr22. This antibody shows a strong preference for histone H3 protein when cleaved at Thr22, but also weakly recognizes full length histone H3.Species Reactivity:

Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Xenopus, Bovine, Dog
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr22 of human histone H3 protein.
Modulation of chromatin structure has a critical role in the control of various DNA directed activities such as transcription, DNA replication, and repair (1). The basic unit of chromatin, the nucleosome, consists of two turns of DNA wrapped around two copies each of four core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) (2,3). Amino-terminal tails of histones undergo various post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination in response to physiological and environmental stimuli. These modifications modulate the accessibility of chromatin to effector proteins as well as act as binding sites for specific histone modification recognizing effector proteins that regulate gene expression (1,4,5). Such alterations in chromatin modifications and architecture that accompany gene expression changes have been observed during embryonic stem cell differentiation (6). One of the ways in which chromatin modifications may be altered in stem cells involves regulated proteolysis of histone H3 by Cathepsin L. Cathepsin L cleaves the histone H3 amino-terminal tail predominantly at Thr22 in differentiating stem cells, leading to removal of histone modification marks which could then influence the expression patterns of developmentally regulated genes (7).

LITTLE ROCK — The projected shortfall in the state Medicaid program for the next fiscal year is now estimated at $61 million, down $77 million from the most recent estimate, Gov. Mike Beebe and state Department of Human Services agencies said Thursday.
The improved financial outlook for the program means that a proposed elimination of funding for Level 3 nursing home care, or care for people who need limited assistance with daily activities, will not be necessary, according to DHS. The cut could have affected up to 15,000 Arkansans.
"No one wanted to cut funding for nursing care, so I think this will be very welcome news," DHS Director John Selig said in a statement issued by the agency. "Medicaid staff have worked hard to manage the program tightly and to be as innovative as possible. The new estimates, down from $138 million, show their work is paying off."
Also no longer necessary, according to the agency, are proposals to eliminate funding for Medicaid's adult dental program and an insurance program for low-income workers and to limit community-based services for the elderly to the current participants.
The revised projection assumes that lawmakers will approve Beebe's proposal to boost the Medicaid program with $90 million in general revenue and $70 million in one-time surplus funds in the fiscal year that begins July 1, and with $222 million in general revenue and $70 million in surplus funds the following year.
DHS said the revised outlook does not eliminate the need for proposals to skip one year's inflationary increase in Medicaid reimbursements paid to health care institutions and reduce reimbursements to other health care providers to 3 percent below what they would otherwise be. Officials hope those cuts, plus various efficiency measures, will close the $61 million gap.
Beebe said in his Jan. 15 state-of-the-state address that the projected shortfall had shrunk, though at the time he declined to disclose the new projection.
Selig said Thursday that growth in the program is the lowest it has been in 25 years and that per-capita spending on every category of Medicaid beneficiaries has fallen. He and Beebe attributed the trend to the Arkansas Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative, the governor's effort to move the state from a fee-for-services system to one in which health care providers are paid for episodes of care and rewarded for efficiency and healthy outcomes.
"This historically slow Medicaid growth and smaller shortfall show that our providers are stepping up to work with our payment improvement initiative," Beebe said in the release. "Many of them are providing high-quality care with good patient outcomes while adopting more cost-effective practices. While the initiative only includes a handful of disciplines so far, other providers are getting ahead of the game and adopting a similar philosophy that benefits both our patients and our state budget."
House Speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, said Thursday the revised projection was "a positive thing."
"It's another material piece of data that kind of keeps rolling off the line that we're getting as the session moves on. To me, I guess it means that it's less money we have to worry about funding short-term. My mind immediately goes to current budget and how we're going to budget all of the other areas that we have to, knowing that number's a lot less," Carter said.
One of the key issues of the current session is whether the state should expand Medicaid under an optional provision of the federal Affordable Care Act to include people earning up to 138 percent of the poverty level. Beebe supports the expansion, which would be fully funded by the federal government in the beginning and would be 90 percent funded by the federal government starting in 2020. The Republican leaders of the House and Senate have said they are not inclined to support the expansion.
Prior to his state-of-the-state address, Beebe had said that cutting Level 3 nursing home care would be necessary without the expansion.
Carter was asked Thursday if the lowered shortfall estimate had changed his attitude toward expanding Medicaid.
"No, in a strict sense" he said. "Sure, we're going to consider all of these things, but it's about long term, this is not about getting … flat growth over six months. You add 250,000 people and you have to pay 10 percent of that, at best, going forward, and you think about what happens if those rules change. You have to think about all that stuff."
Senate President Pro Tem Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, called the revised estimate "good news" but said it did not change his thinking on Medicaid expansion.
"I don't think the fact that they were wrong about the amount of shortfall improves or decreases the strength of the argument about expansion," he said.
Beebe spokesman Matt DeCample said the revised shortfall projection is not necessarily part of the expansion debate because expansion offers its own set of positives for the state, but he added that it "certainly doesn't hurt the argument" for expansion.

CHAPATI, or Roti, is a traditional Asian, unleavened flatbread and is a popular staple not only in Pakistan, but also in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
People in Pakistan eat chapati three times a day, and although the bread can be re-heated, it is best eaten fresh. There are a few different ways to cook chapati - Paratha chapati is cooked with butter;
Tandoori chapati is cooked in a clay oven, while straight forward, everyday chapati is cooked either on a a hot plate, gas hob, or wood fire. Paratha is traditionally served at breakfast and is also very popular in Pakistan with children who can easily take it to school for a break time snack.
Tandoori Roti is however, my all-time favourite. Cooked in a very hot clay oven, it comes out lovely and crispy and is the perfect accompaniment to any Asian dish.
However, not every home in Pakistan has a tandoor (clay oven) to cook the Roti, so most use a hot pan, either on the gas hob, or on a wood fire.
Traditionally, wheat flour is used to make chapati.
Farmers in Pakistan grow wheat crop every year, and it is one of the main crop farmers grow in Punjab.
Wheat flour (Chapati flour), water
1 Make a dough by adding water to the flour. It needs to be just a little softer than you would make for pastry.
2 Knead to get all the cracks out and until it is nice and soft. Leave for about half an hour.
3 Divide the dough into small pieces and shape them into small round balls.
4 Roll them out into flat rounds.
5 Cook on hot plate each side, turning them over every 30 seconds.
Do make sure the pan, or plate, you use to cook your chapati is really hot before you put the mixture in it - if it is not hot enough, your chapatis will dry out and will not taste as nice.
Also, to make them nice and fluffy, and also to cook more quickly, once you have turned them a couple of times, take a tea towel and press it on each side of the chapati, keep turning.

Only 31 percent of employed Americans work a 40-hour week, a new Rasmussen national telephone survey suggests.
The survey, conducted this past week, found that 40 percent of Americans now work more than 40 hours per week, including nine percent who work more than 50 hours per week.
Last May, Rasmussen found that 33 percent of Americans worked more than 40 hours per week, including 11 percent who worked more than 50 hours weekly. The most recent survey suggests that, in just seven months, the number of Americans working more than 40 hours per week has increased.
According to the survey published Friday, 28 percent of Americans now work less than 40 hours per week, which is a drop of six points from 34 percent in the May survey.

Towards African Communication Science curricula : challenges for higher educationAuthor Gertruida M. Du PlooySource: Communicatio : South African Journal of Communication Theory and Research 32, pp 189 –209 (2006)More Less
This article explores the integration of Africanism in curriculum content of Communication as a science on the level of higher education. Africanism is not treated as something to be added to curriculum content, but is regarded as an integral part of an institutional strategy of post-apartheid and post-merger transformation. This article is divided into two sections. The first focuses on strategic shifts that have to be considered when revisiting curricula content and the dilemma of linguistic pluralism. The second section deals with the operational processes that are necessary when revisiting curriculum content, by focusing specifically on the application of collaboration and assessment as mechanisms for planning and negotiating changes to curriculum content, plus the nature of key determinants of the interrelationships among academics, higher-education institutions and adult learners. The article concludes with critical questions which Communication curriculum designers and academics need to ask in their research and training endeavours to contribute to the national development goals and social reconstruction.
On seduction (and flirting) in the twenty-first century : a communication-theoretical perspectiveAuthor Bert OlivierSource: Communicatio : South African Journal of Communication Theory and Research 32, pp 210 –225 (2006)More Less
An attempt is made here to provide an analysis, in communicational terms, of the phenomena of seduction and (related to it) flirting as it comes across in the present era. This entails answering the question, whether these two related activities are still the same, historically speaking, as they were in earlier epochs - for example in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Are there indications that they display an inalienable, characteristic structure, which still undergirds them today, regardless of the extent to which the postmodern era may differ from preceding ones? And what might such a structure look like in each case? Focusing on Kierkegaard's anatomy of seduction in Either / or, a reconstruction of its salient features is attempted before turning to Zupancic's pertinent distinction between two types of seduction, and before examining Baudrillard's provocative description of seduction in relation to the feminine principle in contemporary culture. What are the implications of these for flirting as a related activity? And are there indications that the present era modulates these communicational practices in a new or distinctive manner?
Homo machinus versus Homo sapiens : a knowledge management perspective of virtual communities in cyberspaceAuthor Rachel BarkerSource: Communicatio : South African Journal of Communication Theory and Research 32, pp 226 –240 (2006)More Less
Amidst debates on whether virtual communities can exist as a solution to technological developments, evidence suggests that knowledge creation and sharing are symptomatic of Home sapiens which may develop into idiosyncratic Homo machinus in cyberspace. According to Geyer (1996, 60), the communication revolution, backed up by accelerating technological development, has created a substructure for the emergence of virtual communities. Recent writings on virtual communities acknowledge Knowledge management as the most often used strategy to bring the human side into the equation. Enabled by online interactive communication technologies, this strategy allows virtual communities to create and share knowledge across the globe, thereby creating a global knowledge-based virtual reality in cyberspace. This article is essentially a theoretical discussion of virtual communities in cyberspace from a knowledge management perspective.
A conceptual framework of corporate online communication : a marketing public relations (MPR) perspectiveAuthors: Charmaine Du Plessis, George Angelopulo and Danie Du PlessisSource: Communicatio : South African Journal of Communication Theory and Research 32, pp 241 –263 (2006)More Less
This study identifies attributes that are perceived by online communicators as contributing to the effectiveness of corporate online communication. A marketing public relations (MPR) perspective is applied to assess the contribution of credibility, trust and long-term relationships to effective corporate online communication.
Q methodology is used as the research method and Q sorting as the means of data collection. Credibility, trust, long-term relationships and their composite factors are tested among 20 communicators and 20 receivers of corporate online communication. The participants' sortings of statements are first compared by means of Q factor analysis and then analysed. Four factors are ultimately identified that are perceived to contribute to effective corporate online communication by communicators and receivers: trust, responsibility, efficiency and meaningful relationships.
Exploring a sprirtual intelligence (SQ) model of communication to recontextualise differences between management and employeesAuthors: Elizabeth A. Van der Walt, Danie Du Plessis and Rachel BarkerSource: Communicatio : South African Journal of Communication Theory and Research 32, pp 264 –290 (2006)More Less
In this article it is argued that organisations are generally reluctant to deal with the abstract concept of intelligence in the organisational context, although research studies by Zohar and Marshall (2004), Covey (2004), and van der Walt (2006) argue the importance of exploring intelligence in organisational relationships and performance. These authors argue that intelligence is a pertinent variable in the changing behaviour, needs and motivations of employees in the modern organisation, and new research by van der Walt (2006) further indicates that the behaviour needs and motivations of employees are often misunderstood or rejected by management due to differences in the intelligence frameworks from which their respective needs and motivations regarding personal and organisational purpose and goals arise. This article is therefore based on an explanatory, exploratory and descriptive study of intelligence in the organisational context, with specific reference to the communication relationship, or lack thereof, between management and employees. Attention is given to the controlling and determinate abilities of rational intelligence (IQ), the adaptive ability of emotional intelligence (EQ), and the purposeful and meaning-seeking abilities of spiritual intelligence (SQ) behind the changing behaviour, needs and motivations of employees in the modern organisation in comparison with less spiritual intelligent managerial approaches applied to the organisation. It also explores how a spiritual intelligent model of organisational communication can be used as an instrument to bridge these differences.

My First Film – Step 3
Mixing the chemicals and actually developing the film
Follow the link below for ADOX CHS processing times:
The actual development is simple. All you need to do is concentrate on keeping everything constant all the time and keeping your gear clean.
Never do anything that might lead to one chemical mixing with the other especially not backwards in respect to the path of the processing steps.
Use always the same way of measuring the liquids, keep the temperature at 20 deg Celsius and try not to work in an environment which is much cooler or hotter so the liquids do not change temperature while they are in the tank doing things to your film.
So let´s start.
Important notice before handling the liquids:
- avoid any contact of your eyes and skin with the chemicals.
- always wipe off spilling as they will dry and leave the active ingredients as a powder on your floor/desk. You might inhale the powder later!
- when mixing powder chemicals do not pour them from great height into the water avoiding a dust cloud. You can actually dip the edge with the cutoff from the powder bag below the water surface and add the chemical powder "under water". This prevents any chemical powder from getting into your room air.
- always keep your gear clear from pollution and never mix chemicals. Try to avoid spoiling one chemical with another upwards the way you use them (developer-> stop bath -> fixer -> wash -> wetting agent) and never spill any drops downwards (e.g. stop into the developer or wetting agent back into the next film´s developer).
1) Mix up all liquids (developer, stop bath and fixer) acording to the manufacturers recomendation. For stop and fixer make one liter of working solution each and fill them into a chemical storage bottle.
2) Bring all chemicals up to 20 deg. Celsius temperature by placing them in a hot or cold water bath.
If your room temperature is lower than 18 deg C or higher than 22 deg C fill a bucket or plastic sink with water at 20 deg C to keep the tank temperature while developing.
3) Prepare the amount of developer, stop and fixer needed to fully cover the film with liquid in a separate mixing jug.
4) Get your stop clock set to the development time you want to process the film (see also next chapter)
5) Pour in the developer as quickly as you can, close the orange lid of the tank and jam the tank 2-3 times with the bottom flat on the table in order to push up bubbles that might have formed on the film. Immediately start agitating the film.
6) 10 seconds before your time is up (or when your downcounting stopclock reaches 10 seconds) open the orange lid and get ready to pour out the developer back into the jug. 3 seconds before your time is up start pouring out the developer. Don´t panic if the developer is suddenly pink or blue. All is OK. This is the anti halation dye being washed out of your film.
7) Immediately after you have emptied the tank pour in the stopbath and start agitating the tank for 30 seconds. if you don´t have stopbath do so with tab water.
After 30 seconds pour back the stop bath in the jug.
8) Pour in the fixer. You can be relaxed now. Only the development time is critical so it is important to interrupt (stop) the development at the given time. If you had just poured out the developer and not used stop bath or at least water the film would have kept developing until it got into contact with the fixer.
Fix as recomended usually 5 minutes agitating the tank every 30 seconds. Pour back the fixer in the jug.

PRESS FOR "TOP OF THE WORLD" (Released March 9, 2018)
Click publication name for full article/review
NEW FEATURE IN ROLLING STONE COUNTRY ON 6 STRING DRAG - "6 String Drag's Kenny Roby on Alt-Country Band's Reunion, Working With Steve Earle - Hear the rejuvenated Carolina band's new song "Let's Fool Around 'Til the End of the World'" - ROLLING STONE COUNTRY
"6 String Drag On Top Once Again ...a raw, raucous take away on alt-Americana, a sound hard to put your finger on but one that wraps comfortably around your ears while it rocks your ass off" - NO DEPRESSION
"The bottom line here is that Top of the World is more than a simple blast from the genre's past ... Their new record announced that 6 String Drag are a contemporary band, creating relevant music and evolving in interesting ways". Kenny Roby is too skilled a writer to relegate to the insurgent country museums." - ROUTES & BRANCHES
"6 String Drag makes compelling, exciting and genuinely interesting music that mashes up many influences from Rock, Country, Blues, Pop and Jazz to ... well... even Bubblegum! At one turn they might sound a bit like Elvis Costello during his mid-80s King of America phase by way Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe's Rockpile. But then they can turn on a dime in the midst of this fine, twangy, jangly, gritty and rocking music, morphing into full-on psychedelia, as if Lynyrd Skynrd was joined on stage by Radiohead for a soaring Pink Floyd homage ("Top of the World," the beautiful title track of their new album). - AUDIOPHILE REVIEW
PRESS FOR "ROOTS ROCK 'N' ROLL" (Released February 2015)
"Roots Rock 'N' Roll" glides from strength to strength without a hint of 6SD's nearly 20-year hiatus as they access influences predating their longstanding Beatles/Stones obsession. Roby and Keller still harmonize with the kind of Vulcan vocal meld that is typically the realm of siblings, and the band's chemistry should be patented by DuPont. You don't need to have known 6 String Drag back in the day to know that "Roots Rock 'N' Roll" is great music now. - Country Standard Time
"Those who remember 6 String Drag...will be thrilled with this terrific, unexpected return. But even the many who never got to experience the band in their prime the first time around will enjoy this wonderfully exuberant and spirited release..." - American Songwriter Magazine
"Roots Rock 'N' Roll is a brilliant, poised comeback that updates the essential Drag sound and in so doing, starts 2015 off right. Good, good stuff. Welcome back, boys."
- Ink19
"Goddam right, they're back, (6 String Drag) who on "Roots Rock 'n' Roll" not only sound like they walked out one door then immediately back in the other but also manage to update their riotously infectious vibe...This resulting new set lives up to its title in every sense of the word—it's rootsy as hell, and it'll rock your ass off. My suggestion? Roll with it!" - BLURT Magazine
"It sounds real, it sounds fun, it sounds good. Get a copy and I'll meet you at the drive-in." - No Depression
"After roughly 17 to 18 years, the alt-country pride of Raleigh, N.C., returns with 11 songs that allow the band to bow to influences — from Bakersfield to early Beatles, from Johnny Cash to Elvis Costello — with wry charm and crisp tunefulness." - Milwaukee Journal Sentinal
"Tight. Crisp, horned-rimmed glasses kinda rock 'n roll. And every note is glorious. It ranges from Buddy Holly-esque anthems, to slick film noir crooners, to sad sad blues all done up with that early rock 'n' roll vibe. Even those shoe-gazing hipsters will be tapping their toes when they hear 6 String Drag's latest effort. Somewhere in heaven Roy Orbison is smilin' and sayin', 'yeah man, good music doesn't have an expiration date.'" - Americana Music Show
"Led by frontman Kenny Roby, 6 String Drag merges the band's early punk roots with no-frills southern honky tonk in a show that is sure to see your southern pride surge. Roby's story telling excels, too, making the band's songs resonate long after the amplifiers have gone quiet." - Charlotte Viewpoint

Lindsay Leggett is no stranger to travel. She and husband Cameron took the first steps of their relationship reminiscing about their many varied travel experiences. Maybe it started with Lindsay's exposure to travel through her mother's career with Delta Airlines. Or maybe it was her time on the road as a merchandiser for a golf equipment company. Either way, it's obviously an inescapable part of her life at this point.
On the same token, Lindsay's adventurous spirit extends to her home projects as well. In her own words, sometimes you just have to put on your "big girl pants" on and make things happen!
This house flipper, dog collar maker, pillow designer, and all around dream go-getter calls Dallas home and I was fortunate enough to give her a visit earlier this Spring. Her most recent trip to Bali resulted in a beautiful collection of home goods, which she smartly purchased in bulk for resale purposes. Lucky for her, a few of those pretties made it into her personal home as well. Not a bad hazard of the job, if you ask me! Not bad at all.
Let's take a look at how it all comes together…
We want to travel with you too, Lindsay!!
But until that day, we'll be scouring your Pinterest for globe-trotting inspiration.

When Skye Harris shows up on the Devil's Playground's doorstep asking the Brotherhood for help with a gang taking over her hometown, it's time for Finn Storm to step up. The bikers might be tough but he's tougher – and armed with Brotherhood tech and a warrior's heart he's going to get the job done, no matter what or who stands in his way.
The one weak spot in his plan is in his heart––Skye gets under his skin like no other woman has and she's not going to let him take all the danger on his shoulders alone. But when she's caught in the crossfire Finn has to decide whether to follow his heart or his carefully crafted plan to not only clean up the town but heal his soul.
"Listen. This is important." Finn put both hands on her shoulders and pulled her to face him. "From now on, if I disappear for a full twenty-four hours without any contact, you get your ass to Vegas. No ifs, ands, or buts—you get in the car and floor it.
You don't call anyone, you don't tell them you're leaving town." He hesitated, knowing this part would be the hardest for her to do. "You don't call Pat. You don't stop at the hospital. Drive straight to the Devil's Playground. Call Dylan while you're on the road and let them know you haven't heard from me, and you're on your way based on these instructions."
"No. He's got Ace and Wyatt with him. The two of them can get Robby out of the hospital, but they can't cover you. You show up, you'll be an added weight. Let them follow their orders, and you follow yours." Finn gave an angry shake of his head. "Robby would want you to save yourself first. You're no good to him if you're hurt or worse."
An icy ball formed in his belly at the words.
"Okay. I cut and run to the nightclub." She drew a staggered breath. "Then what happens?"
"All hell breaks loose." With a Code Red, every member of the Brotherhood, as well as their associates, deployed with the sole purpose of bringing a fellow warrior home.
"I don't like it." Skye shook her head. "Are you sure there's no other way around this?"
"No." It came out sharper than he wanted.
She pulled back, frowning. "I'm sorry."
"It's not you," he said quickly, trying to make amends. "I don't like to think about the mission going sideways. It's a luck thing." He forced a smile. "Like those rabbit's feet you can buy at every shop in Vegas. Not so lucky for the rabbit."
"I just don't want to think about what could happen, what could…" She sighed. "I don't know if I could take losing you and Robby."
"Hey." Finn drew one finger along her cheek. "This is just a precaution. I want you to know this in case something happens—we always prepare for if something goes wrong. It's not a forecast. I don't know if you've noticed, but I can take care of myself.
I've been on dangerous missions before, and I've always come back."
"So far."
The whispered reply dug into his heart.
"Promise me." He locked eyes with her. "Promise me you'll do this."
Skye pressed her lips into a tight line before continuing. "Okay. I understand. I don't like it, but I understand." A flash of anger came into her eyes, one he knew all too well from his own experience. "If something happens to you I'll see to it Smith goes down."
"You call Dylan. You follow his lead and do as he says." Finn put as much force into his voice as he dared. "I'm counting on you to do the right thing. Promise me you won't go after Smith on your own, no matter what." He cupped her cheek. "If you care for me, please promise."
She paused for a second then nodded.
