Proteomes - Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans (strain 2CP-C)
|Reference proteome
|Proteome IDi
|290397 - Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans (strain 2CP-C)
|Last modified
|January 15, 2020
|Genome assembly and annotationi
|GCA_000013385.1 from ENA/EMBL full
|Pan proteomei
|This proteome is part of the Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans (strain 2CP-C) pan proteome (fasta)
The delta-Proteobacterium Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans utilizes halogenated compounds, such as 2-chlorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, 2,5-dichlorophenol, and 2-bromophenol, as growth-supporting electron acceptors (halorespiration). Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans exhibits metabolic versatility, and grows under a variety of redox conditions. Oxidized metal species such as U(VI) and Fe(III) (including ferric oxyhydroxide), anthraquinone disulfonate (AQDS), halogenated phenols, oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, and fumarate are used in terminal electron accepting processes (TEAPs). Also, Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans demonstrates great electron donor versatility, and couples electron acceptor reduction to the oxidation of a variety of compounds including formate, hydrogen, acetate, succinate, pyruvate, and glucose. A. dehalogenans tolerates high concentrations of reduced products such as phenol or ammonium and has been found to be the predominant metal reducing populations at uranium-contaminated sites that are characterized by changing redox conditions and low pH. A feature that distinguishes A. dehalogenans from other reductively dechlorinating and metal-reducing populations is this organism's ability to both use acetate and hydrogen as a source of reducing equivalents. Sequencing its genome will provide relevant information regarding reductive dehalogenase genes and the organization of reductive dehalogenase operons. Such information is critical for the design of nucleic acid-based tools to detect, monitor and quantify functional genes involved in reductive dechlorination processes at contaminated sites.

Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion map updated for the 21st century
In 1943 Life Magazine first showed Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Map, a projection that showed the world without the distortion of the standard Mercator projection. Mercator's map distorts significantly, making northern countries like Russia, Britain and Canada look big and dominant. The brilliance of Fuller's map is that it distorts very little, as it is really a flattened globe, cut up like the panels of a geodesic dome.
In April, The Buckminster Fuller Institute organized a competition, "calling on today's graphic designers, visual artists, and citizen cartographers to create a new and inspiring interpretation of the Dymaxion Map." Criteria for judging were:
1. Original. Is the map innovative in some fashion? Does it challenge traditional perspectives?
2. Aesthetic. Is the map beautiful? Intriguing? Inspiring?
3. Informative. Does the map convey information, worthwhile themes or sets of data to its viewer?
Bucky would have loved this one, a drawing created from satellite images.
Geoff Cristou follows the movement of Homo Sapiens out of Africa and his own family from Europe, apparently to Toronto, Canada.
Jan Ulrich Kossman creates a heat map of urbanism, the brighter the area, the closer it is to a city,
Nichole Santucci's is a beautiful woodcut.
This one is fascinating because Fuller's map does away with longitude lines; time zones are based on longitude, North/South divisions, so putting them back onto a Dymaxion map creates some very strange conditions.
This is the only one that, I think, doesn't work; the Dymaxion map is land-centric, and the migration routes are in the oceans. You can't tell where any of these whales are going really, they keep running off the edge.
But they are all great choices; See all 11 at the Buckminster Fuller Institute.

I've recently become interested in Chinese history, particularly the Second Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945. The unity and strategies of the Chinese people are truly admirable–despite their political differences, they still came together against one enemy: the Japanese. It's something that Black people can really learn from. Chinese traditions and history runs deep, and these people know their culture. Unlike Black people, whose connection to their origins has been severed. It truly shows how important it is to know and honour our African traditions, and history. It is Chinese pride that kept the Chinese fighting stubbornly enough to gain allied help. It is African pride that should unite us all–and keep us fighting–for Black liberation.
We are so fragmented, all pitched against the other. Africans against West Indians, Black Americans against immigrant Black, etc. When will we understand we are all one and that we have a common oppressor? Of course, many Black people have risen to wealth, but unless the Black nations are liberated–Black people are oppressed. And there is no liberation without unity. You can say what you want about a Chinese person–but they have been taught to be proud of their Chinese heritage. And you will see Chinese helping Chinese. You will see the Chinese ready to fight for China. It's time that Africans learn from the East.

text: Describing myself as a stranger I besought the King to give me some account of his dominions. But I had the greatest possible difficulty in obtaining any information on points that really interested me; for the Monarch could not refrain from constantly assuming that whatever was familiar to him must also be known to me and that I was simulating ignorance in jest. However, by persevering questions I elicited the following facts: It seemed that this poor ignorant Monarch as he called himself was persuaded that the Straight Line which he called his Kingdom, and in which he passed his existence, constituted the whole of the world, and indeed the whole of Space. Not being able either to move or to see, save in his Straight Line, he had no conception of anything out of it. Though he had heard my voice when I first addressed him, the sounds had come to him in a manner so contrary to his experience that he had made no answer, "seeing no man", as he expressed it, "and hearing a voice as it were from my own intestines." Until the moment when I placed my mouth in his World, he had neither seen me, nor heard anything except confused sounds beating against what I called his side, but what he called his INSIDE or STOMACH; nor had he even now the least conception of the region from which I had come. Outside his World, or Line, all was a blank to him; nay, not even a blank, for a blank implies Space; say, rather, all was non-existent. His subjects of whom the small Lines were men and the Points Women were all alike confined in motion and eye-sight to that single Straight Line, which was their World. It need scarcely be added that the whole of their horizon was limited to a Point; nor could any one ever see anything but a Point. Man, woman, child, thing each was a Point to the eye of a Linelander. Only by the sound of the voice could sex or age be distinguished. Moreover, as each individual occupied the whole of the narrow path, so to speak, which constituted his Universe, and no one could move to the right or left to make way for passers by, it followed that no Linelander could ever pass another. Once neighbours, always neighbours. Neighbourhood with them was like marriage with us. Neighbours remained neighbours till death did them part. Such a life, with all vision limited to a Point, and all motion to a Straight Line, seemed to me inexpressibly dreary; and I was surprised to note the vivacity and cheerfulness of the King.Edwin Abbott

Using the primetime Emmys as a platform, the Writers Guild of American East has blasted ITV Studios for alleged mistreatment of writers and producers on its shows.
"As bullish as companies like ITV are on the profit potential of reality television, the fact is that the men and women who actually make the shows toil under grueling conditions," the guild said in a statement issued Monday a few hours before the awards show began.
"Tight-fisted networks insist on impossibly tight production schedules," the WGA East said. "Writer-producers work up to 80 hours per week without time off – and without overtime pay. Injuries are rampant on field shoots. No one gets health or pension benefits."
ITV responded by issuing a statement: "ITV Studios America is in ongoing talks with the WGA East and has no further comment at this stage."
The guild made a similar attack on ITV in February, accusing the company of "stealing" an average $30,000 annually from each of its writers and producers. The WGA has been unsuccesful in attempts to unionize the ITV shows — which include Nat Geo's "Cesar 911," "The First 48″ on A&E and TLC's "Four Weddings."
"This is the dark side of the television business," the WGA said Monday. "And let's be blunt: it's the non-union side."
The WGA has organized three major reality-TV production companies – Sharp Entertainment, Optomen Productions, Lion TV – in recent years.
But it noted Monday that its 2013 survey of more than 300 reality TV employees showed that more than 80% worked more than 8 hours/day at least once a week, with 60% working more than eight hours every day; 80% said they sometimes worked more than five days a week; 71% worked more than forty hours a week, every week; and 84% worked more than forty hours most weeks.
The WGA said 85% of respondents said they never received overtime pay; 66% of respondents filled out time cards, but only 11% of those filling out timecards said they were always accurate.

A crushing monument of Epic Doom metal, Dwoom go above and beyond what you would expect from a demo.
|Oh, this is only 17 minutes long?? I guess I hadn't noticed...as it's been on repeat since I've gotten it! Dwoom play a style of traditional Epic Doom that is VERY much reminiscent of fellow countrymen and masters Candlemass. Imagine if Mats Leven had been singing with Candlemass during 'King of the Grey Islands' and you have a pretty good idea what these guys sound like.
If you're wondering why the guitar tone is slightly familiar it's because they use a distortion pedal known as the Hm-2 and if you've listened to either Entombed or Dismember - or, quite frankly, any old Swedish Death Metal - you'll likely know exactly what you're in for. HUGE, brutal sounding guitars that almost have a chainsaw-like growl to them ploughing through mid-tempo songs like they are butter. Unsurprisingly, three of the four members play in an established Death Metal band called Feral , so I'm not exactly shocked that everything sounds so heavy. Keep in mind too that this is only a demo and goes far beyond what I'd expect from one. The vocals are mixed just high enough that the expression and power soaks into each section without ever overpowering the riffs or descending into parody. Everything is working in unison to deliver that sense of urgency and scope that I feel is really necessary to do this particular type of Epic Doom justice. The only times I really found myself noticing that this was, in fact, a demo was the inclusion of a Hammond organ. Not really because it sounds out of place, it doesn't, but because it's mixed so far in the background that the guitars really just eat up any mixing space that was left over. Even the bass guitar needs a tad more love, it really fills in the riffs to make them sound even more monstrous but if you're really listening there are bass fills here and there that I wish would come out a tad more. Even the guitar solos struggle to be heard, not as much as the organs, but the complaint is still valid. These really are minor complaints,however, since the towering riffs and vocals are clearly the focal point so I wouldn't put too much stock in them. I mean with it being a demo you can forgive it. I'm just mentioning it because it will be interesting how it's included when these guys progress to the next release. Another interesting note as well is that in my research I've yet to find any evidence of a drummer and if these actually were programmed drums, honestly I couldn't even tell.
The sound is all fine and dandy, but how are the songs, you ask? Well I'm pleased to say that each of the three songs bear the mark of people who know exactly what they are doing. It is obvious that the songs included here have had ample time to be written exactly the way the band wanted it, with any fat that could have possibly have been here having been trimmed away. The songs are lean, powerful and never seem to overstay their welcome. 'Pale Mare' opens aggressively with 'Fallen Again' before moving back a tad with the self titled track, but the absolute highlight has to be 'Empty Temples'. The most advanced of the three moves between a heavy and an acoustic laden section to do some building before assaulting your senses with a constant stream of intensely destructive, Epic laced, mid-tempo Doom. The vocals here REALLY bring home the Candlemass influence with even the lyrics hearkening back to 'Epicus Doomicus Metallicus'. It ends abruptly leaving you hungry for more. And really, if I can find any fault its that it is too short. I find myself REALLY wishing this was a full length instead of a demo, because I want it to keep going. I guess that would be a hallmark of an excellent demo but when its this good, is there any shame in being greedy? There is very minimal growth that needs to happen with Dwoom as a band if this demo is of any indication. I'd say the door is wide open for them as far as a future goes. I'm calling it now, Dwoom could be the next name in a genre starving for more quality bands.

Here's a cute story from the excellent RocketNews24 about a geeky way to propose: make a video game for her that she has to complete before she gets the proposal!
A story about a knight who braves all dangers to save his princess and eventually asks for her hand in marriage might be a bit of a cliché, but we've all had that fantasy at some point in our lives, hoping that we'll meet our special someone in a fairytale-like situation. Unfortunately, chances are that real-life proposals are not as magical and grand, especially if both you and your beloved are game-enthusiasts who spend half your time "living" in a fantasy game world.
One chivalrous knight upped the game by proposing to his gamer princess with a video game he specially made for the proposal! Was his level-up a success? Click "Start"… I mean, click "Read More" to find out!

Trickster Time: Tavern62 by David Burke
"Years pass and chefs mature, but there's no need to fret that David Burke might grow stodgy," I wrote in Manhattan magazine, when the notorious trickster opened Tavern62 by David Burke in his old Fishtail playpen.
The irrepressible chef who dreamed up the numbered swordfish chop and trademarked salmon pastrami was baking Boston brown bread with raisins and jalapeño corn bread in tin cans and sending them in perfect circles to the table in a silver toast holder with red pepper jam. Not all these early stunts survive months later. But the eating is better than ever. And the serving crew is more reliable.
Now the waiter brings sourdough rolls, rye bread rounds, and jalapeño cornbread muffins impaled on sticks with radish chunks, and butter in a cup rather than on slabs of Himalayan salt. That's an egg with chicken feet dressed like Boss Tweed on the new service plates. Another egg, a large bronze Humpty Dumpty, sits at the top of the stairs leading to the dining room.
The crunchy, caramelized maple-syrup bacon strips hanging on a clothesline with slivered pickles below are the signature must-have here. They look like gallows to me as waiters crisscross the room delivering the bacon. The construction comes with scissors. Cut yourself a piece of bacon, and then another.
Brand new menus with little drawings of pigs and ducks and assorted fish recently arrived. The angry lobster scramble with slightly too cooked eggs is gone. Maybe it was just too fiery for summer's global warming. I'm just as happy tonight dividing a quartet of angry lobster dumplings sauced with spicy tomato-and-confit'd lemon even though it means I only get one luscious little roll-up for myself.
Does $21 seem a stiff price for these little doodads? Prices are creeping up all over town, I notice. Appetizers ranging from $16 for the sprawling asparagus and mushroom flatbread to $22 for the crab cake, and entrées $28 to $48 and $65 for a Himalayan salt brick-aged bone-in strip remind me it's 2017 and I'm perched on tufted copper-colored leather in midtown Manhattan.
To me, the crab seems overwhelmed by its stiff girdle of pretzel sticks with Old Bay tomato jam, but the friend who ordered it is delighted. I don't mind the smoked trout dominating the almost classic Caesar. And the chef's new octopus invention is a triumph.
Blackened octopus and chorizo kebabs with cherry tomatoes ride on a duo of standup skewers stuck into a wooden brick, with a garlicky olive sauce below to drag them through if you wish. Stylish, tender, full of flavor, enough for four who enjoy sharing.
Portions are definitely generous. Choose Duck, Duck, Duck and as advertised, the bird arrives in three modes: several slices of rouge-red breast, a meatloaf of the leg, and a little beggar's purse of foie gras with a bone as a handle. You might want to scrape the fat away for a taste of the skin as I do, or just cut the meat free. If I'd asked for it medium rare instead of "really rare," it might have been less chewy.
The inevitable salmon is more complex than most about town, deliciously molded into a ginger-and-pepper-crusted round served with chickpea purée, Fresno chile, and a hill of golden beet tartare. (The menu says tartare, but actually the beets are cooked.) Black rigatoni with shrimp and calamari in a spicy tomato and lemon sauce would not be my first choice here. It's good, but everything else is better. Only two of us even taste it.
I like to think that a $12 side of broccolini (with peppadews for accent) can protect undisciplined eaters on evenings of excess. A second extra tonight, potato fingers layered with bacon, cheese, and shishitos, should cancel any broccolini benefits.
We focus on finishing off the fabulous scallops and shrimp benedict on johnnycakes with bacon, corn and fried quail-egg hats. Having been hopelessly smitten months earlier with the flamboyant Peking pork shank presented in a giant round of wildly crusty skin with a sturdy knife standing up in it, I am stunned to see it reduced to a modest cutlet. It lies collapsed on shrimp and lap cheong fried rice, alongside folded crepes that had originally come in a steamer.
"What happened?" I challenge Burke as he stops by our table on his tour of the room. Agreed, it's only a pork shank, and I personally neglected it by not returning for months.
"People complained about the fat under the skin," he confides. "And some said the knife was threatening." Given recent headlines with madmen brandishing butcher knifes, I suppose the prince of puns felt he had no choice but to give in.
Burke fans will save appetite for a sweet finale. Tonight my pals agree I can order one dessert. Lemon tart with blueberry pie jam and whipped cream gets the vote. I'm not a whipped cream devotee, but I am a fool for intense lemon curd and this is it.
Our attempt at discipline is sabotaged as Burke covers the table with desserts. I can ignore the coconut banana cream pie. But I can't stop eating the mango and raspberry sorbets on pineapple brûlée with berries. It's wondrously refreshing. Once I'm refreshed, there seems no point ignoring the individual peanut butter, blackberry and vanilla milkshakes with cookies. One cookie? I must taste them all. It's my job.
Don't be put off by rock shrimp remoulade with cheddar and mayo on the burger. Surf'n turf after all. If I worked nearby I might come in solo for the burger at lunch in the bar where the sconces are black derby hats. The locals have good reason to celebrate Burke's return.

A U.S. citizen kidnapped more than two years ago in Pakistan by al-Qaida militants has called on the Obama administration to negotiate for his release.
Warren Weinstein, 72, asked President Obama to step up efforts to win his freedom, saying "you can take hard decisions without worrying about re-election", the Washington Post reported Wednesday.
Speaking on a video message emailed to several media organizations, the former USAID contractor did not specify what measures the United States could take to free him. However, Weinstein said al-Qaida had agreed to allow relatives to visit him in custody if the United states releases unspecified prisoners.
He also addressed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, saying the initial steps for his release would require "action with respect to their people who are held as prisoners."
It wasn't clear when the video was made, the Post said. The email included a link to a handwritten note dated Oct. 3 purportedly written by Weinstein.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said U.S. officials were trying to determine the authenticity of the message and reiterated a call for Weinstein's release.
The Obama administration has said it will not negotiate for Weinstein's release.
Weinstein's last video statement was released in September 2012. It appealed to the Israeli prime minister to build support for his release.
In the most recent video, Weinstein said he suffered from a heart condition and acute asthma.

SDK message errors got you down? We've got an alternative fix to take the stress away and those errors too! Let's dive in!
As you can imagine, getting this error prevents the solution from being imported. There are some suggestions to create a solution with the offending process and modify the XML, but these may not work if you have custom actions.
The alternative fix we came up with was to completely delete all processes from the solution in the target environment and re-import. This may not be ideal, especially if you are pushing to a production environment, but it will let you get the latest solution before Microsoft releases a fix. Microsoft has stated that the fix will either be in UR3 or UR4.
Note: Always perform a backup of CRM before you attempt any changes!
Hopefully this helps you temporarily bypass any roadblocks with importing solutions. Remember you can always find great blogs full of tips and tricks for working with Microsoft dynamics CRM no matter what your skill level both in the FREE CRM Book as well as our website.

I have been away from the Runner of the Month, but we're back in full swing!
Runner of the Month
This month, it was clear who I wanted to select as the Runner of the Month… Erin Donaghy! You may think I've already written about a Donaghy, and that'd be correct. I'm now working with both sisters as they reach their full potential as runners.
Erin has been running since 6th grade, both with her sister and family and on competitive teams. She was on a very successful high school team and then ran at Bucknell Univ. She's since continued running and has picked up the longer race distances! This was Erin's first half marathon (and actually her longest run of her life) so immediately, it became her PR. Yay for PR's, right?!
Erin's story is not typical… She's had two hip surgeries, herniated and bulging disks in her back. Doctors have advised her not to run – and definitely, don't run hills. In her "spare time" Erin also does field work in the Washington Cascade Mountains. Let me tell you right off the bat…it's hilly. At the end of the day, the last thing she felt like doing was run. But run she did.
Erin's time in the race is deceiving because part of the race is run at 2,200 feet of elevation. Regardless, she was 1st in her age group, 2nd woman overall, and 22nd finisher. Simply amazing! And, she was only a minute behind the Female race winner (who set the course record!)!
A Little About Erin the Person & the Runner
Ever since I fell in love with geology, I have always been on the move. I am constantly traveling all over the country to do research and participate on geology trips (hey, not complaining). I get to see some amazing places and often times I can be in some pretty remote places. This makes training extremely difficult for me, and also makes it nearly impossible to settle down in a single location and to have a coach in person. This way, I can continue my crazy travels and research all over Alaska and the Pacific NW, while enjoying field trips all over states out west, and never have to worry about being pinned in one city with a coach. Marc is an awesome coach and motivator – he understands these circumstances and creates flexible workouts and training weeks that integrate my fieldwork/research with my training.
When I was really stressed out this summer with my fieldwork (I was mentally/physically exhausted from hiking 7-8 miles in the heat every day/not sleeping well), I emailed Marc telling him that I wasn't sure if I should run the Half marathon in 2 weeks. Because I was only running 3-4 miles four times a week with one long run on the weekend, I felt very out of shape. I had never run over 11 miles before in my life and felt like I wouldn't have the endurance to complete the half marathon. I felt even more concerned when I found out that the race climbed about 2200 ft in the first 6 miles. Marc told me to relax and have confidence because I was in shape and I didn't have to worry about it. He basically told me to stop stressing out over it, have fun, and to have confidence in myself because even though it wasn't all running as training, I definitely put the work in this summer.
If you know someone who wants to get better at running, but is unsure of what to do, contact Marc. There's nothing worse than seeing a runner not reach their full potential, right? Do the right thing.

?After watching the likes of Mohamed Salah, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin de Bruyne thrive elsewhere following spells at Stamford Bridge, ?Chelsea should have just about learnt a serious lesson as it relates to offloading players prematurely.
Of course, Jose Mourinho is probably to blame. But the Portuguese has already attempted to free himself of culpability for the Salah gaffe.
When it comes to one of the Blues' newest acquisitions, though, the jury could still be open.
French midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, brought in for £40m last summer after a spectacular campaign at AS Monaco, has certainly failed to hit the heights at the Bridge – and his time spent warming the bench under Antonio Conte should have convinced him of that, if nothing else.
The 23-year-old did seem a great replacement for Nemanja Matic – another premature sale, well, the first time – before he actually started playing for the Blues. And he got a pass from everyone because of the injury he came in with.
A stellar midfield performance against Tottenham in the second game of the season left fans quite hopeful. "Just imagine how good he'll be when fully fit," was the notion.
Sadly, though, the Frenchman hit several lows, struggling for both form and fitness. And Conte lost faith in him after he was sent off in an embarrassing loss against Watford in early February.
Between then and the Blues' win against Burnley on April 19, Bakayoko played for exactly two minutes in Premier League competition. There seemed to be no way back for him, and the general feeling was he'd be shipped off in the summer.
Bakayoko on Conte speculation: "I don't really pay attention to that. He's never said that he might leave and he's always extremely focused on doing well." #CFC
— Bridge News ? (@cfc_wale) May 12, 2018
However, after playing the full 90 against the Clarets, he's done it twice more, featuring against Swansea and in a crucial win over Liverpool.
As much as supporters should refrain from going overboard with excitement, they could be seeing the Bakayoko who prompted Chelsea to spend most of the summer chasing him. His performance against Liverpool was quite solid, and his pinpoint long ball was what led to the Victor Moses cross that found the head of Olivier Giroud for the winning goal.
Bakayoko has frustrated for most of this season. But since returning to the starting lineup, he has shown remarkable composure in midfield and is giving a good account of himself.
It may turn out to be too little too late, given how things could unfold Sunday. Yet with a proper pre-season and an injury-free start next term, the former champions could finally have the man they paid for.

There's no real scientific evidence to suggest that chocolate actually does work as an aphrodisiac. Many foods have been assigned such qualities, but by and large, they tend to have a strong placebo effect instead. In other words, they get you thinking about sex just by association, and this puts sex to the front of your mind. Could this be why 'Chocolate Row' in a central part of Brussels positively glows with the frisson of sexiness?
Belgium is known for two things, and if you are not here for the beer, then you should head along to the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert and try the chocolate. Found right in the heart of gay Brussels, this glass-domed series of galleries was one of the first shopping malls to be built in Europe and still retains the grandeur and architectural spectacle that reflects its century and a half age. It is filled with high-end boutiques, cultural organisation and, of course, a generous helping of chocolate shops.
And if you are looking to explore the heart of Brussels social scene, bars and nightlife then there is no better location to use as your base than the nearby Hotel Hubert. Only a few minutes from the Grand Palace and Brussels Central Station, Hubert is a perfect mix of the luxurious and the easy-going, aims towards self-service but has an attentive staff to help you negotiate its modern concepts.

Mutant Millennials
Everyone wants us to die, it's unanimous. They have the capability and the inclination. So why aren't we dead yet? We don't have the power that they do. We don't have autonomy. Our humanity is still disputed. We aren't alive because we fought hard enough, we're alive because they need us.

Four years have passed since Japan's devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident of March 2011. Since the meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi, Japan has essentially been without active nuclear power plants.
In April, a Japanese court dismissed a demand by local residents for an injunction to stop the restart of two Kyushu Electric Power reactors.
Restart of the plants is now the government's and the industry sector's primary concern. Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority has stated: "We will be tireless in our efforts to improve our regulatory measures so that Japan's nuclear regulation standards will be among the world's highest."
There is no national consensus in Japan for continuing the use of nuclear energy. About 80% of respondents are against nuclear power, or at least favor a retreat from dependence on it. There is strong, lingering public apprehension about nuclear. At the same time, the resumption of nuclear power in Japan is seen as key to the country's economic recovery.
Court injunction
This year will probably mark the restart of Japan's nuclear plants. The regulatory body has approved the restart of Sendai Units 1 and 2, owned and operated by Kyushu Electric Power in southwestern Kyushu, and Takahama Units 3 and 4, owned and operated by Kansai Electric Power in Fukui Prefecture.
However, restart of the two Takahama units was in doubt on April 14 when a Fukui district court, deciding in favor of nine private citizens, issued an injunction ordering Kansai Electric to halt restart. The plaintiffs challenged the earthquake safety of the Takahama units, among other points. Kansai Electric will appeal the ruling.
Meanwhile, the Kagoshima District Court made a reverse decision on April 22 to dismiss a demand by local residents for an injunction to stop the restart of two reactors at Sendai.
Why did the court stop the restart of the Takahama reactors? In my opinion, it was trying to strongly point out that no one in the nuclear debate is listening to the people. No one in the Japanese government or industry sector is listening to the public's doubts and worries about the risks of nuclear power. Instead of listening, business leaders and power companies quickly criticized the court's decision as lacking in knowledge about seismology and earthquake engineering.
"People aren't stupid"
Experts and politicians sometimes find it hard to listen. In the summer of 2011, I attended a town meeting in Tokaimura, north of Tokyo, to discuss the Fukushima Daiichi accident. Tokaimura has experienced two nuclear accidents: one, ironically, on March 11, 1997; the other, more serious, on Sept. 30, 1999.
During the meeting, a very worried mother asked one of the professors about the amount of radiation which could harm her children. The news had been filled with many different measurements, becquerels and millisieverts. And what did the professor say? He told her to look it up on the Internet. So much for communication.
"The public is not stupid," said Kiyoshi Kurokawa, chairman of the Japanese diet's independent panel to investigate the Fukushima accident, at a 2013 press conference. "Accidents happen, machines break and humans make errors. So we have to learn this and minimize risks, or at least become resilient." Kurokawa wants to challenge the notion of 100% safety and instead enter a conversation with the public, who should not be treated as stupid. How can those of us in the scientific community help this process?
In risk communication, policymakers tend to believe that if we could provide people with more or better information, everyone would make more logical, rational and informed decisions regarding risk. But people do not, necessarily, behave rationally.
Rationality is one part of decisions. Emotions are just as important. Those who ignore the need for emotions, like sympathy and empathy, in decision-making have missed the point of the human condition.
How can we in science and technology work more effectively with the public and government? We need to be better listeners. We need to understand the issues important to all involved. We need to be better at giving easy-to-understand explanations.
Art of conversation
We have lost the art of conversation with the public. A tweet is not a conversation. Many in the scientific community lack the ability to talk straight with people without talking down to them. Everyone in the nuclear power debate must learn to listen. As every married person quickly learns, communication begins with listening, not talking. When you begin to listen, you begin to build a bridge.
We must help the public and policymakers to realize that science is never exact or final. Science changes over the years, sometimes with unanticipated discoveries. All scientific understanding is made through the veils of uncertainty and ignorance. We must help the public understand uncertainty, how to "expect the unexpected," and how to create resilient institutions that can flexibly respond to an accident when it happens. We must be honest with the public and the policymakers. We must say truthfully what we know and what we do not.

SPOILERS!!! DWTS Season 14, Week 4 – Who Got the Boot??
Well, Tom warned us it was a shocking elimination, that's for sure. I predicted they would call Gavin safe very early. Just sayin'. 🙂 That's the only thing I got right tonight, but it's something.
Eliminated in the fourth week? Sherri and Val. Shocker. Not from a number standpoint…from a popularity standpoint.
Here are our predictions for who was going home:
Heidi: After a good bit of waffeling, I predicted Jaleel going home with either Melissa or Gladys in the bottom two with him.
Courtney: Had Gavin in her bottom spot in the power rankings, along with Melissa.
John: Called Jaleel on Twitter…AFTER I posted my numbers. Cheater cheater pumpkin eater. 😀
We were ALL wrong.
Anyway, Roshon in the bottom two and Gladys safe…do you know how many votes Gladys had to get?? An assload more than Roshon did, that's for sure. To be precise, 27,500 votes more per million votes cast. Now that doesn't necessarily mean Gladys was getting a ton of votes…it might just mean that that Roshon was getting none. I may just do a post on this elimination so that people understand what it took.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for a different person to be eliminated. I'm not a Sherri fan, but she LOVED this show and everything about it…she appreciated every moment and was obviously happy every week. She is what this show is all about.
I'm unhappy. I'm imagine I will be unhappy most weeks from here on out. 🙁

Doncaster Rovers have teamed up with local County FA accredited referees for what promises to be a winning partnership.
Rovers are working with the Doncaster-based referees from the Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA as part of the Referee's Retention scheme, which was introduced to say thank you to all referees in the region who register on time.
The agreement with DRFC sees tickets to designated midweek games being circulated to local referees. This month the refs will be able to secure a free ticket to the Rovers game against Charlton Athletic at the Keepmoat Stadium on Tuesday 28 January.
Gavin Baldwin, Chief Executive of Doncaster Rovers, said: "We are delighted to be supporting football at grass roots level. Our local referees do a fantastic job for football across the Borough and it is a pleasure to be able to give something back and support them in this way.
"I know that Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA are regularly recruiting for new referees to join them and I hope that our ticket initiative provides an extra incentive to sign up."
Craig Grundy, Referees Development Officer at the County FA said: "The retention of our referees is really important. As their Saturday's and Sunday's are usually spent refereeing, they don't often get the chance to see their peers at a higher level.
"Often a thankless task, refereeing is an essential part of football and it is important to reward our referees where possible.
"We are very grateful for the support and help of Doncaster Rovers and all our pro clubs as it means our referees can meet colleagues and watch the appointed officials at the game."
If you are interested in becoming a Referee, all you need to do is contact Craig by email on email@example.com<mailto:email@example.com> or telephone on 0114 2414992

Facebook marketing is both simple and far-reaching. Use it to your advantage and watch your business grow. Review this piece to learn more about how Facebook marketing can help you.
Talk to your fans. Take note of things posted on your page. Many successful businesses have gotten several marketing ideas from the public. Your current fans are the reason for your success so don't ignore what they have to say.
Increase customer engagement by commenting on the things they post on your Facebook wall. You have to not only watch your page, but also messages which include your name with an @ symbol (like @Microsoft.) Reply to everyone that you can, and make sure that you're replying to complaints first.
When you market services and products on Facebook, your page needs to stand out above others pages that are similar. Use many colors and images relating to your product. Users on Facebook are attracted to these pages over plain ones.
Make sure to answer every question or comment left on the wall. Doing so helps you develop a good reputation. Consider the posts to be like phone calls; answer the questions that are asked of you.
Use the focus of your business as the basis for creating a group. Your group can be a place where you and your customers interact with each other. Use this group to share information and offer discounts. You'll build a personal relationship with your fans this way.
Speak with your fans so they can be involved with the decisions you need to make as a business. Customers like to feel they are being heard. Get customers involved in decisions with your company or brand. A good idea is that asking them what they like to read on your blog.
When you market your business on Facebook, you could struggle to get started. You can start by placing Facebook buttons on your website. This gives your customers a way to find your page that isn't intrusive like Flash ads or floating banners. Once they press the "like" button on Facebook for your business, the updates you provide will be seen by them.
Determine why you are creating a Facebook page in the first place. It shouldn't just be established for no reason. Is it being used to speak with other people? Or are you using it to have other speak with you? Utilizing Facebook to increase sales is something different than simply using it to keep fans interested.
You should always do your best to make sure you respond to all customer comments. This means comments left on your page and those in your inbox. This will take a lot of hard work and effort on your part, but your users will really appreciate this personal touch.
Mirror your social marketing pages to the content on your website. If your website is grass green, make your Facebook page the same color. It will help people relate your page to your brand. Doing anything else may simply confuse your customers.
Ask your visitors to share your page among their friends. Provide incentives like discounts or freebies for sharing content. You can also release a coupon code once you reach a set number of followers and inform your followers of that goal.
To get interaction and interest, create a Facebook contest on your page. For instance, have customers post pictures using your products. A winner will be chosen at the end of the contest.
Don't neglect the power of sharing on Facebook and what it can do for your business. An invitation to a hosted event can make your followers feel part of your organization. To make things even easier, Facebook will give them an event reminder for you.
As in all forms of business marketing, it is essential to know your target audience well when it comes to Facebook. If you want content that doesn't attract those your products are meant for, you're not going to be able to raise sales.
Utilize Facebook as a way to grow a friends list while also building sales volume. Consider offering promotions to your loyal customers, and provide coupons to your new ones. When you do not offer deals, your potential clients may go elsewhere.
Do not go too far from the topic on your business Facebook page. If you are selling houses, for example, talking about interest rates is relevant and appropriate. However, funny cat videos are completely irrelevant and will frustrate your followers.
Do not forget to include customers in your milestone celebrations on Facebook. Send everyone a note that says thank you and then announce the milestone you're celebrating on your Facebook page. Keeping customers in the loop makes them feel much closer to your company, and this may increase sales.
Facebook Plug
You need a Facebook plug-in on your site. Some blogging platforms let you integrate this element very easily but you should be able to find the code to add a Facebook plug-in to your site in your settings. This plugin generally shows your subscribers, your latest updates or provides a link that takes visitors to your page.
You need to know what is new on Facebook. If you have subscribers who are likely to use such new features, make sure your campaign incorporates them. Test new features out as soon as possible.
Always keep SEO in mind when you post content to Facebook. Try to using the keywords you used on your website; additionally, post back-links to your website on your Facebook profile. Internet users will be able to find your Facebook page in search results.
When fans feel that you personally connect your company and yourself , they feel that you are trustworthy. This is key in all sorts of marketing, and Facebook is included. You can actually tell everyone what you did over the weekend. Show them how your products were used and provide ideas that can motivate them to buy.
Facebook is certainly a new and intimidating marketing venue, but it's potential reach is too great to ignore. Instead of looking at it as a fad, you should be taking advantage of it now. Use these tips and you'll get great results.

Kennett Square, PACare for horses & livestock/farm animals
Philadelphia, PACare for cats, dogs & other domestic/companion animals
In individuals with anatomically predisposed upper airways (small size, often associated with fat deposits around the airway walls), hypoventilations and obstructive apneas occur repeatedly during sleep. They are caused by the characteristic of sleep hypotonia of upper airway muscles.
Sleep-related decrements in activity of upper airway muscles are caused by distinct neurochemical changes upstream from upper airway motor neurons. Our research indicates that these changes are mainly caused by a withdrawal of excitation mediated by norepinephrine and serotonin.
This mechanism operates during all sleep stages. Notably, obstructive episodes are often most severe during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep.
During REM sleep withdrawal from motor neurons of the excitation mediated by norepinephrine and serotonin may be reinforced by active inhibition mediated by neurotransmitters such as gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), glycine and acetylcholine.
Due to the complex nature of REM sleep, most functional studies need to be performed in vivo. We use chronically instrumented rats in which we can monitor and probe the natural neural mechanisms specific for this behavioral state.
In addition, in order to overcome some of the limitations of the studies in naturally sleeping animals, we have developed and extensively used reduced models of REM sleep.
In particular, in anesthetized rats, we can pharmacologically activate distinct pathways responsible for the generation and maintenance of REM sleep and investigate REM sleep-related changes in the control of breathing and upper airway motoneurons.
We have extensively used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, neural track tracing, and immunohisto-chemistry to determine which neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter receptors control the output from the central sleep and respiratory networks.
In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there is a strong association between the severity of the disorder and other cardiorespiratory and metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertension and stroke.
Sleep deprivation, sleep fragmentation, recurrent nocturnal episodes of mechanical occlusion of the upper airway and recurrent episodes of hypoxemia may all contribute to these different dysregulations in OSA patients.
We investigate whether normal adult rodents exposed for many days to cyclic variations of ambient oxygen in a manner that mimics recurrent hypoxic episodes in OSA patients (chronic-intermittent hypoxia, or IH) have altered central and/or peripheral mechanisms relevant for the of upper airway muscle tone and/or glucose metabolism.
Through a truly ingenoius analysis of brain lesions in patients with the Encephalitis lethargica, von Economo concluded that the anterior hypothalamus contains neurons that actively induce sleep, whereas cells important for the maintenance of wakefulness are located in the posterior hypothalamus [von Economo, J. Nerv. Ment. Dis., 71:249-259, 1930].
Following up on these and related findings, we found that the sensitivity, or availability, of GABAA receptors in certain wake-related cells of the posterior hypothalamus may gradually increase with the duration of wakefulness, and then decrease during sleep (Volgin et al., PLoS ONE 9(1): e86545, 2014).
Such a state-, or activity-, dependent plasticity of posterior hypothalamic GABAA receptors may represent an important neurochemical substrate of the brain's "sleepiness signal." Identification of the mechanisms one of the fundamental questions in the science of sleep and is highly relevant to OSA, where excessive daytime sleepiness is a major problem.

Bruno R: Ascensio
Bassist Bruno Råberg, the Swedish-born Berklee educator, incorporated a foundation of Scandinavian folk tunes in his previous Orbis outing, Presence ; as he does here. Shifting meters, unusual time signatures, a muscular rhythmic pulse behind the front line horns, combined with a drummer (Marcello Pelitteri) who divides the spaces with the snap and pop of emphatic punctuations. Add to this the ineffable "Scandinavian tinge," and Ascensio has a sound that seems familiar and foreign at the same time.
Råberg's bass voice is insistent, an ever-looming presence for the hornsPhil Grenadier on trumpet and Alan Chase on soprano and alto saxto weave their sinuous lines around. The piano-less quartet is more often associated with the free jazz arena, but Ascensio is a Råberg-composed effort. His tunes are a bit off-kilter (to the American ear) but highly accessible, with flowing melodies and a structure that allows lots of room for front line soloing. Both horn men are stellar in their team and individual efforts therein. Chase has a relaxed approach, full of cool logic; and Grenadier can at times sound slightly anguished, a scratchy Miles Davis '58 Milestones tone, stretching his lines then turning around and biting them off.
The title track opens with a gravelly bowed bass, with the horns supplying a jerky rhythm before the roll into some clean unison blowing leading into two truly entrancing, back-to-back horn solos. The highlight in a highlight-filled outing.

One of my pupils asked me that last week.
Cue for my five minute lesson on Lent...
Do you know why Christians celebrate at Easter? It's about Jesus dying and stuff, isn't it? [that's a positive start, I thought]
Good Friday/Easter is a very important time of the year for Christians – and another part of the story of Jesus is about how he spent 40 days preparing himself for the work he had to do – like teaching and healing and miracles, and of course, the crucifixion.
Christians have traditionally used the 40 days before Easter to understand God better, and prepare themselves to serve Him and stop doing bad stuff and do more good stuff. One way to concentrate more on God is to concentrate less on food – so they used to stop eating 'fancy' food, and just live on a simple diet of water and vegetables.
No meat, no cream, no butter. That's a bit dull Miss! Yes, but if you know you are getting a dull meal, you stop thinking about that, and concentrate more on other things, like how good God is!
Now, in the olden days, nobody had fridges and freezers, so they had to eat up all the fancy foods beforehand or they would go to waste – you couldn't keep cream or meat for 6 weeks. They called these 40 days 'Lent' which means 'lengthen', because the days were starting to get longer as Spring came. So just before these 40 days started they ate up all the goodies in a big feast.
What do we call animals that eat meat? Carnivores Exactly – and 'carne' is the Latin word for meat [like chilli con carne]
In countries where there were lots of Catholics, who used the Latin language, they said "Goodbye meat" – which is "Carne Vale" – so they call it Carnival Time. And in Venice and Brazil and other places, they will be having carnival celebrations and feasts.
And can you remember what the French word is for Tuesday? Mardi That's right, so where they speak French, it is called 'Mardi Gras' or 'Fat Tuesday' – the day they eat up the fats, the butter and cream. There's always a big Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans in the USA.
But here in England, we just use up the eggs and butter to make pancakes. Which isn't quite as lively and colourful, but never mind! Sometimes people have Pancake Races.
So that's why we have Pancakes on Pancake Day – and in the old days, Christians knew that was their last exciting food until Easter Sunday, when they would eat meat and eggs again, and celebrate Jesus resurrection and coming alive again.
Now many children just look forward to Easter Day because of the chocolate eggs.
And that's what Pancake Day is all about.
I didn't know ANY of that before, Miss! Well, you do now!!
…and so do you! Will you be eating Pancakes tonight?

Oh Yeah.
New Updates
I have new stuff on here.The links on the top right hand corner work. My Tumblr is in my Pintrest button. Even though I do have a Pintrest, but I never use it. I also have my Youtube link in there. I have made a lot more videos since the last time I was on here so you might want to check them out. I'll put my latest one on here. This was made in November a few weeks after the New York Comic Con I went to.
So I was looking though tumblr and I found This vintage 60's vogue cover of this girl and I thought... "she looks like Emily Blunt!" at least I think so.
sowy :(
sorry I've abandoned you for a while. I've just been busy making some youtube videos on my channel. check out some of the ones you missed out on!!!!
also subscribe to me! but only if you enjoy them of course. I would never force you.
I also recently got a tumblr. But don't worry. I'm not replacing this one. I basically just re post other people's stuff anyway. and most of it is just pictures and gifs. that sort of thing. but If you want to check it out....
I'm now in school for dental assisting so I'll probably be busy doing that stuff, so.....I don't know if I'll be able to get on here all of the time. I will make the effort to. But I haven't forgotten. :)
Red Hair!
First Proper Vlog
My English Accent
it's probably crap. :P
