DNA with a twist: New company to search for cancer drugs and antibiotics
A new company has joined the fight against MRSA and cancer. Researchers at the John Innes Centre (Norwich) have launched a new company, Inspiralis Ltd, based around their expertise in DNA topoisomerases – a group of enzymes that help DNA molecules to unravel and wind up properly and not to become tangled during replication.
"DNA becomes tangled as a result of various cellular processes, such as replication, which ultimately stops these processes continuing. DNA topoisomerases untangle it. Without them cells die", says Inspiralis co-founder Dr Nicolas Burton.
Topoisomerases are already targets for several drugs, including anti-tumour drugs and antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin – the anti-anthrax drug. The search is now on for new ways of inhibiting them. Inspiralis Ltd make a range of products targeted to the pharmaceutical industry to enable drug-discovery work in this area including topoisomerase enzymes themselves as well as associated products.
A new high-throughput assay, developed recently in the laboratory of Prof. Tony Maxwell of the John Innes Centre (and co-founder of Inspiralis), will also provide a huge advance on the standard gel-based screening method for topoisomerase inhibitors. Inspiralis Ltd will develop the technique further as well as offering screening services to companies. "The assay will potentially allow millions of compounds to be screened for activity rather than just hundreds", says Dr Burton.
The technology can now be accessed as a service or as a kit helping pharmaceutical companies and academics to screen for new and better cancer drugs and antibiotics.
Some powerful antibiotics and key anti-cancer drugs act by inhibiting topoisomerases. In cancer, cells rapidly divide in an uncontrolled manner and topoisomerase inhibitors can block this uncontrolled cell division.
"Topoisomerase inhibitors are key targets for new drug development", says Mrs Alison Howells (co-founder). "We can test potential new drugs against topoisomerases as well as help discover new inhibitors as a first step to developing brand new drugs".
Inspiralis is based at the Norwich Bio-Incubator at JIC and was founded with backing from the ICENI fund, a private investor and the John Innes Centre.
The high-throughput assay is patented by JIC's and BBSRC's technology transfer company, Plant Biosciences Ltd, and non-exclusive licenses have already been granted to pharmaceutical companies.

So, it's rather unfortunate, these issues that went into the Daily Telegraph, this misinformation that was fed into the mouth of David Attenborough. We can concern that later, if we want. And I think I have actually stated the primary things I wanted.
The proceedings were begun to collect the collateral the parents put up considering that they co-signed the papers with the NJ bail bond.

July Sixth this year there was a hearing and the judge stated that Lohan did breach her parole and she had to serve 90 days in jail. The judge likewise ordered her to do 90 days in an inpatient rehab program.

She was bought to submit to random drug screening – again.
The drug was named cheese because it looks like parmesan cheese. The drug is typically snorted and can be extremely addicting. With numerous different dealerships making the drug, the quantity of heroin per hit typically varies. While the majority of hits are 3% heroin, some will have up to 8% heroin. This leads to children, who have actually had moderate drug experiences they could handle with their very first few hits, having to be hurried to the emergency clinic from overdosing.
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities are by far the most efficient in treating addiction. Long term treatments are better than short-term ones according to statistics. This kind of facility guarantees safety, convenience, and security. The client gets to remain in an environment devoid of alcohol and drugs. Friends and family can visit from time to time and when the client chooses to leave previously finishing the program, the family is instantly informed. Most notably, alcohol and drug abuse patients can quickly recuperate when they are with individuals whom they share the exact same problems and whom they can easily relate to.

I have always wanted to travel overseas for my University education. Even when I was younger, I used to tell me dad that I would like to study Abroad for my University. As time went on, my disturbed my dad about it which caused him to make me a promise that my post graduate would be done abroad.
Years later, I got admission into the university. Life was so sweet and great with me, and having a nice roommate, oliseh was also awesome. Things were going on fine, not until second semester of my 100level came, Oliseh relocated to Malaysia to continue his education. I didn't know how he said his dad was able to raise money for him and he travelled to Malaysia. But we still maintained contacts. We chatted regularly on facebook and calls. He would tell me how beautiful life is in Malaysia and how I would enjoy life to the fullest if I come. He often sends me photos of that place.
A year later, during the Christmas period, Oliseh landed into Nigeria. He came in with a brand new Prado jeep. He got me cloths, accessories and so many things that I began wondering how he got all the money within a space of one year he travelled to Malaysia. Na so oliseh gist me ooo. He said he was a student and also a worker. He goes to classes for 5 hours and 6 hours for work. "But na which kind work this guy dey do wey just give am dis kind money," I wondered within myself. Because one of my uncle who works in one of the new generational banks and collects a salary of N120,000 can't even afford a second hand car worth N1.5million talk more of a second hand Prado jeep.
Oliseh told me he was into a lucrative computer business, importing goods into Malaysia and selling to the citizens. "Hope say Yahoo or Yahoo plus no dey," I asked, just to be sure.
"Ah ahnnnn. Wetin you dey talk sef. I no dey do yahoo nah. Me nah pure business man ooo." He told me there was money, plenty of it to be made in that country Malaysia. That I can even clock $1million within my first 6 months. Na so I believe this guy. I was happy for me. He even promised to help me with my papers when I graduate so I can come over. Na so me happy oooo sey I go soon go join my guy for Malaysia. The way he talked about the country, I was almost believing that people can even pluck money from trees in that country.
Before my guy Oliseh went back to Malaysia, he gave me some money and told me when am ready to come I should inform him so he can help me with my papers. After Oliseh left, it just looked as if I was no longer myself anymore. All my thoughts, dreams, visions were all directed to Malaysia. When I have any dream, I see myself in Malaysia. If I wake up, it looks as if I woke up in Malaysia. I eat, it looks as if am eating Malaysian food. I walk out of my house, it will look as if I walked into Malaysia. When I look at people, my parents and siblings around me, it will look as if am looking at Malaysians. Up to the extent that when I drink water, I assumes that's water from Malaysia. When I even look up to the skies, I will sea Malaysia boldly written up there. Everything I see, do, looks Malaysia to me. I just want to be in Malaysia as soon as possible. My mind was no longer settled, even in my academics. It looks as if Malaysia was calling.
I told my dad that I was no longer interested in going to school in Nigeria anymore, that I would love to go to Malaysia to start afresh. My dad laughed as if I was joking. But he realized I wasn't when I came back home from school a particular weekend. I refused going back to school. I told my parents that I was no longer going to school in Nigeria again. That they should get me a Malaysian visa, that my friend over there would help me so I could go there to school. Na so my papa begin para oooo. My mom thought I had been bewitched, that her enemies had gotten her through me. She even went as far as inviting some pastors to the house. Me sef no bother. Each time I hear or see some of them pray, it looks as if am seeing them praying that God should change the mind of my parents to sponsor my trip to Malaysia to join my boy Oliseh. My dad said he wasn't going to sponsor me for that kind of trip, that I should finish up my bachelor's degree first then when it comes for my post graduate, he can sponsor me to anywhere. But I no gree. My mom begged, pleaded for me to go back to school. At a time they even suggested I went for mental/ psychological assessment to check if I was in my right senses. It took the intervention of so many family members, family friends, so many pleas and my father's refusal to sponsor that trip that I finally decided to go back to school after over a month staying at home due to my stubbornness that I wanted to travel to Malaysia. Thank the merciful God that I didn't carry any course or had any academic problems that semester.
After my 200level semester examinations, we went for 2 months break. When the school resumed, another 2 of my friends had joined Oliseh in Malaysia. Infact I began to hear so many tales of Malaysia again. May people travelling to that country. It seems as if many Nigerians are falling into that country. It was a pity that I lost contact with my friend, oliseh. I didn't know what happened. I just woke up one morning and discovered his facbook account was no longer active. Every means of contacting Oliseh was no longer active any more. For good one month, I was not myself. It looked as if I had lost a big treasure. It looked as if I had lost my helper, the one who would lift me up in Malaysia, and I blamed it on my family. It was pretty difficult for me moving forward but I finally did hoping that one day I would hear from him again.
Second semester 400level, I just returned from lecture this beautiful afternoon when I checked my facebook and discovered I had a message. I checked it and it was a classmate of mine, Barnabas who was in the same department with me. It was a long time since we saw last. I thought he dropped out of school, not until he started gisting me that he dropped out of school and moved to Malaysia. He said he was right in Malaysia chatting with me and that month would make it 6months he arrived Malaysia. Immediately I heard "Malaysia," na so my adrenaline pumped up. It looked as if I experienced an electric transfer power. I was so happy. I had lost oliseh, it seems God has sent another person from Malaysia that would help me come over there. We began chatting. He started gingering me on coming to Malaysia. I couldn't concentrate on my final exams anymore. Since my dad said he would sponsor me for my post graduate program in Malaysia, and I was almost finishing my first degree, I thought it was the proper time to start working on my Malaysian visa. I began disturbing my dad about Malaysia. My dad told me to finish up my final exams first, go for my NYSC and we would start working on my post graduate program. Infact he suggested me going to Canada for my Master degree. With what my dad said, I began thinking he was deceiving and scamming my conscience. Because he had promised that after my first degree, I would leave for abroad immediately since one doesn't need NYSC certificate to be admitted for master's degree abroad. But he was of the opinion that I should do my NYSC first since I would still be coming back to Nigeria to work. But I no gree ooo. "This man wan play me again," I thought to myself. Abi him no wan sponsor me again! My dad said he doesn't have much money to sponsor me. Then I began asking myself, if he was not sponsoring now, when will he do! Maybe when I am married and already have my money. Though I saw dad's point because we were yet to complete our house. My dad was hoping to complete it, then we move in and he also wants to get a car which would aid his movement and business. And within a space of a year before I finish my NYSC, everything would be ready and I can travel. But I no wan hear that one.

We're coming up fast on the Friday, 15 January 2016 military pay time, the first payday to include the 2016 military pay raise and changes to BAH and Tricare dental premiums. The exact date that your pay will be direct deposited into your bank account depends on your bank or credit union. Many financial institutions offer early direct deposit of military pay as a benefit to their customers. If you don't know that your bank or credit union will deposit your pay early, then you should expect to have your pay deposited at some time on Friday, 15 January 2016 actual payday.
One Business Day EarlyAmongst the banks and credit unions that offer early direct deposit, the most common offer is that pay will be deposited "one business day" before the regular military payday. This includes USAA, PMCU, and others. For this payday, one business day early is Thursday, 14 January 2016.
Navy Federal Credit Union offers military pay deposits one business day early for their customers who use an Active Duty Checking account for the direct deposit of their military pay. Customers who use any other type of checking account do not have their military pay deposited early. Don't forget that Navy Federal Credit Union often shows your deposit as pending up to several days before the deposit is actually posted. Be careful not to spend that pending money before it is posted.
Two Business Days EarlyService Credit Union offers to deposit military pay up to two business days early, pending the receipt of pay information from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS.) For this payday, two business days early is Wednesday, 13 January 2016.
I'd love to increase the number of banks and credit unions for whom I track military pay deposits. Let me know if your bank or credit union offers early direct deposit to its customers. I look into it more and report back what I learn.

Lesbian And Gay Health Issues Ignored
Digital Journal Staff
Mar 27, 2001 in
NEW YORK - Vickie Smith said she was 30 before she found a gynecologist in whom she could comfortably confide that she was a lesbian.
"I certainly hadn't had anyone who didn't, like, make a face," Smith said about the doctors she'd seen before visiting Dr. Fe Mondragon. Often, she said, male gynecologists told her, "You don't seem to be sexually active ... Someone your age should be very active."
Fears of doctors giving moral lessons or simply not understanding the mechanics of non-heterosexual practices can lead patients to avoid discussing intimate details with health professionals, or worse, to steer clear of health care altogether.
To help solve these problems, the Empire State Pride Agenda lobbied state legislators Monday for $5 million to educate health professionals and provide support and resources for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people.
In the past three years, the Pride Agenda successfully lobbied for a total of about $5.5 million in state money for similar projects.
"We're kind of the last ones left in terms of underserved communities," said Sheila Healey, Empire State Pride Agenda Foundation program director.
The Albany-based group In Our Own Voices, which serves "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people of color," used a $90,000 state grant to develop Project SANO!, after the Spanish word for "healthy."
The project sponsors support groups, health seminars, and events for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people. Its most public outreach effort has been a 28-page health and human services directory listing doctors and therapists amenable to those groups and providing questions and information for determining whether other health professionals welcome and understand non-heterosexuals.
SANO! did not concentrate specifically on gay people or AIDs, which is what most people typically think of in terms of non-heterosexual health needs. While that is important, Project SANO! director Nadya Lawson said there's a range of other concerns affecting lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people.
Additionally, when the patients are nonwhites, the concerns can become even more complex. Caucasians are welcome to use In Our Own Voices' resources, but the group aims to help what it sees as overlooked populations.
Between 5 percent and 12 percent of nursing students questioned in a 1998 study said they despised lesbian, gay and bisexual people, according to a study in the Journal of Nursing Education.
More than half of the black people who answered a 1999 Kaiser Family Foundation survey said that they felt health care professionals treat people unfairly based on race or ethnicity either very often or somewhat often. Sixty two percent of Latinos said the same thing.
The Empire State Pride Agenda said the In Our Own Voices' directory, which lists doctors in Albany and six surrounding counties, is the only comprehensive health directory in the state.
The Audre Lorde Project in Brooklyn has a less extensive health brochure for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people of color.
In Our Own Voices is developing a second directory to be published this year. More than 700 copies of the current issue have been distributed free-of-charge and the group has a little less than 300 left.
To be listed in the directory, In Our Own Voices sought recommendations of doctors, dentists or therapists that patients felt were comfortable with any race and sexual habits. The group then asked the recommended people if they would allow themselves to be listed.
The directory also suggests questions to ask doctors and health facilities. They include "Do you think there is a medical cure for homosexuality?" and "Are you involved in any gay or lesbian research?"
Mondragon, Smith's gynecologist, is listed in the directory.
The waiting room of her office in Clifton Park, an Albany suburb, does not advertise any attempt to attract lesbians -- or any specific group. One wall is filled with photos of babies she's delivered -- mostly to heterosexual couples. She also has helped lesbians start families.
Mondragon does not ask patients to reveal their sexual habits, or lack thereof, but takes care not to assume the patient's sexuality.
"We don't ask, 'Do you need contraceptives?"' said Mondragon. "We ask, 'Do you have a need for birth control?' We try to eliminate any kind of assumptions."
"If you bill yourself as (providing) women's health services," she said, "why shouldn't that include the knowledge of what lesbians do or what they need?"

There have been times this season when the Dream have played like the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions, and there have been times when they have looked very average. Atlanta is 6-7 through 13 goes and trail first-place Connecticut by 3.5 games in the Eastern Conference Standings. Inconsistency has been the theme of the 2012 season, but this week has provided Dream fans with the reminder that this is still a championship squad.
On Tuesday, the Dream picked up a huge 70-58 victory against Indiana. The first quarter looked like the "very average" Atlanta Dream, as they trailed 18-12. The team then responded with its best quarter of the season and ended the first half on a 25-8 run.
Despite playing with a sore left knee, forward Angel McCoughtry was able to lead Atlanta with 22 points in 29 minutes. McCoughtry told the AP that her knee is painful, but it is healing.
"It takes a little time to recover, but it's getting there," she said. "I just want to get my explosiveness back and things like that so I can get up and down the floor. I look like a grandma out there a little bit."
The Dream beat Indiana for the first time in three meetings this season. Atlanta's defense stifled last year's league MVP Tamika Catchings and held her to just 2-for-9 shooting and eight points.
"We basically know what she (Catchings) wants to do with the ball when she catches it," Atlanta rookie center Aneika Henry told the AP. "She wants to penetrate and go hard to the basket, so we just doubled down on her and helped out with Sancho on her and stuff like that."
None of the Fever's players scored in double figures as the Dream held Indiana to just 30 percent shooting on the day. Point guard Lindsey Harding did not start this game, but came off the bench to contribute five assists and two blocks. Forward Catherine Kraayefeld led the team with 10 rebounds and three blocks, as Atlanta caused 19 Indiana turnovers.
If Atlanta can play a total game like the one against the Fever on Tuesday afternoon, the team will be on its way to another play- off run. However, the Dream have yet to put together a three-game win streak so far this season. They will have a chance to do that in the next game on Friday at Tulsa.
This has been a special season so far for the 25-year-old McCoughtry. The third-year star is leading the WNBA in points per game with 22.6. McCoughtry should stay in the running for league MVP as long as the Dream win games and she stays healthy. The 6-foot-1 forward missed two games with a sprained knee, but returned to lead the Dream to two important wins this week. The knee is still giving her trouble, but it has not slowed her down.
"I'm just getting old," she jokingly told the AP. "I'm not 18, 19 like I used to be, so things at 25 are a little different now."
The Atlanta Dream star will finish the summer by competing in the Olympics in London and was recently nominated for an ESPY.
Atlanta will vie for its first three-game winning streak of the season when they go on the road against the Tulsa Shock. The Shock have the worst record in the league at 2-11 and should provide Atlanta with a great shot to add to its winning streak.
This will be the first regular-season matchup with the Shock. The Dream took a 91-89 win over Tulsa in the preseason. On Sunday, the Dream will travel to Chicago for the sec- ond game against the Sky this season. Chicago took the first contest at Philips Arena 94-92 in overtime. A last-second three-point heave by Chicago's Epiphanny Price sent the game into overtime and Atlanta never recovered.
The Dream must keep center Sylvia Fowles in check if they want to win in Chicago. Fowles put up 20 points and 19 rebounds in the first matchup. She averages 19 points and 13 rebounds per game. The two games this weekend are the first two on a season-long eight-game road trip.

Maybe the perfect car for the remote worker in 2021? As one of BMW's next concept, the vehicle showcased a host of technology that is sure to show up in the next generation of the car company's vehicles expected to appear in 2021.
The iNext itself has the promise of having a high level of autonomous driving technology and an advanced electric propulsion system.
The vehicle has two modes, Boost Mode and Ease Mode. Boost Mode gives the driver full control of the electric vehicle while Ease Mode gives the driver the luxury to kick back and work while the car handles everything else.
Audi e-tron GT
Source: Audi
The buzz around the Audi e-tron GT described the vehicle as a potential "Tesla Killer". Reportedly coming out in 2021 the vehicle promises a whopping 590 horsepower, with the ability to go from 0-100km in just about 3.4 seconds.
Even more impressive is that the electric vehicle promises an optimistic 248 miles of range and with its 800 volts charger, you could have your vehicle 80% charged in just under 20 minutes.
The interior of the vehicle is just as nice and Audi boasts that the car interior will be completely vegan.

The disrespect we must expect
Most of us, I'm sure, strongly suspect that Chief Treasury Secretary Greg Hands is refusing to give our democratically elected representatives access to documents associated with negotiating the Fiscal Framework because this would expose the UK Government's attempts to cheat Scotland of billions of pounds. There is always good reason for such suspicion. The British establishment is no friend to Scotland.
But, even if the withholding of these papers is explained by nothing more devious than the British state's habitual obsession with secrecy, the casual disrespect shown to our parliament has to be deeply offensive.
Unless you are a British nationalist.
Because, as a British nationalist, you do not consider Scotland's democratic institutions to be worthy of respect. At best, you consider them inferior and a presumptuous imposition upon the established order.
At worst, as a unionist ideologue, you consider Scotland's parliament and government a menace to the very fabric of the British state. A threat to the structures of power, privilege and patronage which you hold to be almost divinely ordained.
We should not be under any illusions about the true nature of British nationalism. We should never suppose that those who subscribe to the ideology of British exceptionalism can ever have any genuine concern for - or even understanding of - the aspirations and priorities of the people of Scotland. Or, for that matter, any of the people of these islands. Their only allegiance is to the ruling elites of the British state. We should never doubt the viciousness with which the British establishment will defend that which it claims to own.
The disrespect shown to our politicians by Greg Hands may be the least of it.

The SNP are now, pretty much, the ONLY party willing to stand in the way of this insideous politicide being perpetrated, both directly and indirectly, by the supposed "mainstream" parties in this country.
Labours' single minded attempts to gain credibility from the overpowered financial institutions, who so dramatically and effectively crashed the economy, combined with their cosying up to their (so called) enemy during IndyRef, has left them, deservedly, out in the political cold here in Scotland.
THIS makes the SNP an establishment target. Hope the party is up for it because there can be no expectation of support from "Scottish" Labour.Replies
I'm confident that the SNP can cope with the task facing the party. We have some very good people. Mistakes will be made. But people will put up with that so long as the direction of travel is right.Delete
What will be the trigger that will make the absolute majority of Scots rise and expunge the minority that's weighing our nation down?ReplyDelete
Where is the breaking point?
When will this happen?
These are the questions doing the rounds in my head.
Because I don't see this not happening.
I am under no doubts that Scotland will never achieve statehood through a democratic process, for there is no democracy in Britain.
In a nation where the Civil Service sides uncritically with any UK Government of the day, where the rUK faces a mind boggling, annihilating financial meltdown from Scotland parting ways, where for every inch we move closer to stronger devolution the BritNat Establishment entrenches further in in their self-preservation war, where an unelected legislative chamber is stuffed full of cronies and lackeys, and where the weak minded brainwashed masses believe Britishness to be a value rather than an embarrassing synonym for all the ills and wounds the world suffered by its blood stained hands, we live in a dystopian oligarchy of sociopathic psychopaths, not a democracy.
I have on many occasions said that demonising the opposition is extremely dangerous, but when it's obvious that you are not facing a different opinion but filthy, sickening and violent oppression it's time to raise our heads and take what's right.
I'm not calling for riots in the streets, but a communal awakening of the consciousness that the only way to an Independent Scotland is to vote the only party that can deliver that aim, and from that same party to acknowledge that the only way to Independence is declaring it unilaterally.
Because that's how the overwhelming majority of nations cut themselves free from British oppression. Not through a "referendum" that with the might of the Establishment, their servants and lackeys, and the little help of HM Secret Services, will never deliver a favourable result for Scotland.
And if by hook and crook we make it happen, we'll see tanks in George Square as ordered by Churchill on 31 January 1919.
Come on, no party in government in the recent history of this little island has ever been voted in to such majorities on a third term.
When this happens, it's a clear signal, as bright as the sun, that we're only waiting for Nicola to summon the strength of millions of Scots and say "It's time".Replies
I too often find myself wondering what it will take for people to realise just how bad the union is for Scotland. We must always bear in mind that not all No voters are British nationalists. Many are just decent people concerned about change. We have to overcome that inertia.Delete

Sir Jeremy Heywood, the cabinet secretary, privately raised questions about the way Libor was being set during the 2008 banking crisis, according to a series of emails between him and Paul Tucker, the deputy governor of the Bank of England who is giving evidence to MPs on Monday.
Emails, obtained by the Labour MP John Mann through a freedom of information request, show that Heywood asked Tucker about the price at which Libor was being set during the 2008 crisis in a series of emails, including one marked "personal".
The emails also show correspondence between Tucker and Bob Diamond, who at the time ran the investment bank Barclays Capital but resigned as chief executive of the overall bank last week in the wake of the negative publicity surrounding the £290m fine received by Barclays for attempting to manipulate Libor rates.
In one email to Diamond, dated 25 October 2008, Tucker writes in the subject field "Struck that your [government guaranteed bond] was issued at around 140 [basis points] over gilts". In the body of the email, Tucker just writes "that's a lot". Diamond replies by offering to meet Tucker.
This email was sent just days before a note of a discussion between Tucker and Diamond that was discussed by MPs on the Treasury select committee last week when Diamond sent an internal email on 29 October 2008 detailing a conversation with Tucker. The email led to some confusion in the bank about whether the central bank was encouraging Barclays to cut its Libor submissions although when he appeared before MPs Diamond insisted he did not believe this to be the case.
However, Diamond said Tucker had told him "senior Whitehall figures" had been asking about the rate at which Barclays was borrowing, which has led to a race to establish whom these figures might be. Tucker also writes to Diamond to ask for a meeting about the sources of Barclays' money market funding – which might have a bearing on the price at which its Libor submissions are made.
The emails published on Monday show correspondence between Heywood and Tucker. Heywood was mentioned this weekend as one figure who was interested in Libor.
The emails written by Heywood do not appear to show him encouraging Libor rates to be manipulated downwards. He is expressing concern that the rates for borrowing in US dollars are coming down faster than those in sterling. In one email, Heywood asks Tucker if he his hearing that Libor is high "because Barclays are bidding it". Tucker replies that the Bank of England is monitoring the situation.
Mann, who obtained the information under FoI, warned the Bank of England about contempt of parliament as he had asked for the information ahead of Diamond's appearance last Wednesday. He said he received the Bank of England's response at 8.55am on Monday morning and he is now warning the Bank of England of the dangers of being seen to be in contempt of parliament. Mann said: "The information released today would have been critical for the Diamond meeting last week. They would have understood the urgency of the request and this clearly displays their contempt of the Parliamentary process."

Our Thrift Challenge series started as a way for us to one) spend more time at our favorite place -- the thrift store! and two) show that you can easily recreate a look or concept, both for fashion and home decor, using thrifted items! For more details on our monthly thrift challenge series, click here!
For this month's Color Collection challenge I chose my favorite color, BRIGHT yellow!
I unfortunately didn't spend as much time at the thrift store as I expected to for this project. Most of this was stuff I already had in my some-day-I'll-use-this-inventory. Like this wooden picture frame I bought at a garage sale a few years ago for $1. I spray painted it with Rustoleum's Ultra Cover 2x in Sun Yellow. The bubble gum machine photo is from Meg Duerksen's Whatever Shop. I love her bright colorful photos like these globes and this cupcake.
This vintage metal stool is also something that I've had for a few years! I intended to paint it right away but it was put to use immediately in a hidden corner of our kitchen as a place to stack folders, bags, mail and other junk. I bought it at the The Sampler in Hudson for around $10-$15.
Now that the stool has a fresh coat of Sun Yellow spray paint and it's been pulled out of the hidden corner, we'll be using this at the kitchen table for the boys (who often fight over who gets to sit in this turquoise vintage cosco step stool). I think I know who will call dibs on it...
The embroidery hoops and fabric were also items I already had in my stash of thrifted stuff. The plaid-ish fabric (far left) was a pillowcase from Unique Thrift in Willowick, the circular yellow pattern (bottom) was a shirt from Goodwill Akron (that I had used at one time on this hoop wall), and the the lace was from a tablecloth I bought at a garage sale. The yellow polka dots was originally from Jo-Anns and I still had scrap pieces leftover.
I was excited to include my recent purchase from Katie Daisy's etsy shop The Wheatfield, the "This is It" print. I hung it using a thrifted clipboard. If you like Katie Daisy's artwork, then you'll want to participate in next month's thrift challenge (details posted tomorrow), because I'll be giving away one of her prints!
And lastly for the wall I included my little yellow shadow box that I had created for my most recent Goodwill Project. I had some friends over last night and they all wanted to know where the game pieces were. Unfortunately they were very unstable, as in they would fall out if a car drove by our house, or if someone sneezed 10 miles aways. So, I'll either have to glue them down or find something that can withstand the slightest of movements.
Movin' on down to the 3 Tier table (one of my first ever paint projects!) is my favorite little yellow Tonka truck. Got this (and a bunch of other trucks) at Givits in Hudson for 50 cents to $1 each! The books were all thrifted and cost a quarter to a $1 each.
Next layer down includes this yellow lantern that I bought from a garage sale last summer for $1! This lantern may have started my obsession with bright yellow! The Lipton's Tea Tin came from Value World thrift and the yellow mug and curvy dish came from estate sales.
This succulent was a gift from Dina herself. We recently had a fitting at her house fro her upcoming Goodwill Fashion show and she gave each model one of these as a gift. Each one had a different color flower on top so she was impressed that I picked the yellow one right away and didn't hem and haw for 10 minutes on what color to choose. Little did she know it was about to show up in my color collection!
And last but not least is a yellow flora picture frame that I've had for years filled with a photo I took in Ireland of none other than a bright yellow door!
Are you sick of the color yellow now!?!! Will you make your own color collection? What color will you choose??
Now it's time to cleanse our eyes with some natural muted tones over at Dina's Days. I challenged her to thrift a blush pink dress and brown leather jacket like this one from carolinesmode.com. Looks like she nailed it once again!! Let's go see...
Follow Along, Like & Share:Dina's Days: Blog, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter

Terry Glavin, National Post, April 8, 2015
History doesn't lend itself to being abused and apologized for at the same time.
In the way Canadians like to tell it, the story of the Komagata Maru begins on April 4, 1914, when Sikh emigrants from India, hoping only for a better life in Canada, board a ship in Hong Kong; after a series of disgraceful naval ambuscades in Vancouver Harbour the ship is forced to weigh anchor on July 23 of that year. The Komagata Maru steams all the way back to Calcutta, 20 of its passengers are killed in some kind of dockside melee, and the rest of the voyagers are imprisoned.
In the story's denouement, Canada has constructed a kind of morality play, an allegorical drama of our national salvation from the shame and squalor of Canada's racist past that places our redemption in Canada's eventual law reform and repeal, repentance and contrition. There are apologies, plaque-unveilings and seminars, a federally-funded museum, booklets, exhibitions, and a commemorative stamp. That sort of thing.
But Canadians may soon be revisiting their revision of the Komagata Maru story. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Canada next week. Only two weeks ago the legislative assembly in the Sikh homeland of India's Punjab State called on him to demand that the Canadian Parliament apologize specifically to India for the "atrocities committed on the Indian people" during the Komagata Maru affair.
The Punjab Assembly says it wants something along the lines of the House of Commons' apologies and restitutions arising from the 1885 Chinese Head tax and the internment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. Modi is expected to visit the Komagata Maru Museum and Monument in Vancouver. Things might get awkward. In 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered an apology to Canada's Indo-Canadians at a gathering of 8,000 Sikhs at a temple in suburban Vancouver, but his overture wasn't accepted graciously, exactly. The complaint was that the apology should have come from the floor of the House of Commons, and it should have more closely resembled Ottawa's elaborate regrets about the Chinese Head Tax and the Japanese internment.
Compounding the awkwardness of just who should be apologizing here, and to whom, and for what, is that the story India tells itself about the Komagata Maru has undergone some significant revision as well. It was not long ago that the 1914 voyage was widely regarded in India as something of an embarrassment, an ill-conceived operation put up by Sikh militants and other Indian radicals who were rather too rash in their patriotism.
The since-revised Indian version, which formally acknowledges the voyagers of 1914 as heroes, is closer to the mark than the contemporary Canadian telling of the Komagata Maru story. It's not just because Canadians tend to leave out all the revolutionary and counter-revolutionary intrigue, the spies, the provocateurs and double-agents, the terror and counter-terror of the time. Most conspicuously absent in the Canadian version of the Komagata Maru tragedy are the villains of that ethno-religious foreign constituency that was most fervently determined to insinuate its belligerent chauvinisms into Canadian affairs at the time. I refer of course to the British.
For all the racist hysteria animating Canadians in 1914 (in the preceding year, roughly 500,000 immigrants had arrived in Canada, a number not exceeded in any year since) the larger drama that determined the pivotal events in the story of the Komagata Maru arose from the brutal, global reach of the British Empire. Its Canadian champions and shadowy agents were already busy manipulating Canadian immigration law and its enforcement in cunning anticipation of the Komagata Maru long before the ship's arrival in Burrard Inlet.
It was a time when the British Empire was acutely vulnerable to insurrections among its subject populations. Only weeks after the Komagata Maru was barred from docking in Vancouver, the First World War broke out. To the Indian patriots behind the Komagata Maru expedition, the voyage was a win-win proposition.
Allowed to disembark, the passengers could organize the fight for Indian independence at greater liberty from abroad than they could under the crushing oppression and surveillance back home. If they were turned away, the injustice would expose a propaganda lie that was being marshaled to great advantage by the British imperialists in India: steady on, chaps, we're all equally British subjects throughout the empire, aren't we?
By its propaganda of the deed, the Komagata Maru proved that the Empire's Indian subjects were not blessed by the rights of Englishmen after all, not by bloody half. The ship's co-charterers, Gurdit Singh of Hong Kong and Bagh Singh of Vancouver's Khalsa Diwan Society, were steeped in the maxims of the radical Gadhar Party. Its slogan: "What is our name? Mutiny. What is our work? Mutiny." On the voyage to Vancouver, the ship's passengers recited poems heralding the coming Indian uprising against the British. After the ship was turned back to India, Bagh Singh penned a tribute to the voyagers: "Death awaits us all, but when we know not; if it should come in heroic deeds, don't fear it. Arise. Arise."
In my old neighbourhood in New Westminster, the lovely Sikh Temple Sukhsagar, built in 1911, loomed out my kitchen window. Its langar, the ceremonial banquet room, is still called the Mewa Singh Hall, named after the Komagata Maru Shore Committee leader who assassinated the key British spy and principal troublemaker William Hopkinson in Vancouver in the weeks after the Komagata Maru was turned away.
Mewa Singh unapologetically confessed his crime, and was hanged for it. I wouldn't propose that those who commemorate Mewa Singh's memory every year have anything to apologize for, any more than one should want Prime Minister Modi to accede to the Punjab Assembly resolution and demand an apology from Canada for the Komagata Maru affair.
Modi's problem is that the Punjab Assembly resolution was accompanied by a motion demanding that he apologize to the Punjab Assembly, on behalf of the Government of India, for its bloody 1984 Operation Bluestar campaign in Punjab which so brutally rooted out Khalistani Sikh separatists from Amritsar's Golden Temple.
Should Canada then turn around and demand that the Punjab Assembly apologize to us for the 1985 murder of 329 people, mostly Canadians, in the bombing of Air India Flight 182? That operation was orchestrated by the Khalistani Sikh terrorist leader Talwinder Singh Parmar, whose Babbar Khalsa organization enjoyed refuge in the Golden Temple prior to Operation Bluestar.
History does not lend itself to being abused and apologized for, especially not at the same time. The endearing Canadian custom of sanitizing history and putting it to innocently uplifting and inclusive purposes, too, is bound to go sideways sooner or later.

The founder of TRON (TRX), Justin recently tweeted about the company's ambition to move back to the top 10 currencies on the Coinmarketcap rankings. This comment was placed a few days before the official testnet launch where TRX price was moving green faster than any of the top 20 coins. The pace has however slowed with the coin currently trading at $0.0348 on average on the major exchanges. This places the coin in 14th position with a total of 65,748,192,476 TRX in circulation resulting to a valuation of $2,287,721,507 USD.
We had reported that TRON will launch its mainnet this quarter. The company launched their testnet a few days back giving their supporters and investors a hope to see the price continue to rise. TRX price was on a bull run as it rose above $0.4 for the first time in a month, doubling its price during the same period. However, this has not been the case since the launch as the price experienced a sharp dip of over 14.2%.
Investors however should not be too alarmed given the prospects that TRON has in store after this recent test launch. The testnet has been a success with over 126 nodes connected in the first few days across 5 continents. TRON also continues to show its willingness to develop meaningful partnerships with major companies in the entertainment industry.
So how exactly does TRON plan to regain its place as one of the 10 largest coins according to market capitalization and adoption?
3 Factor Recipe to ensure TRX cements its place in the top 10
This is not an exhaustive list given the major strides TRON (TRX) development team and founder, Justin are currently making. However, these are the main points a new investor, HODLer of TRX or haters should consider before brushing TRX as a scam or failed project. These 3 factors may end up being the correct ingredients to success for TRON.
- Incorporating Fiat/TRX trades
TRX's price has been struggling in the red for the past few weeks with the whole market facing a cryptocurrency bloodbath. However, I am of the opinion that TRX would fair far better if its dependence on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading pairs was shared to fiat currency trading. Investors need a quick and direct way to change their fiat currency.
Currently the highest trading exchange that trades using fiat pairs is Ethfinex, TRX/USD pair. However, the exchange pair ranks at a low 14th in the rankings out of 31 exchanges that deal TRX. More shockingly is that the total daily volume traded using fiat on all exchanges is less than 1% combined.
How TRON aims to solve this
Coinflip, one of the major providers of Bitcoin ATMs in the US, announced recently the addition of TRX to its ATMs. The company currently operates well over 40 Bitcoin ATMs throughout the country. This will allow anyone within the United States to buy TRX directly from the ATMs using fiat using the ATMs.
Dependence on converting fiat to BTC in order to get TRX has been a major setback to rapid adoption of the coin to most newbies. Tronix should therefore consider how to make it easier for novice traders to buy TRX using fiat currency.
- Ban of crypto adverts
The recent wave of bans on cryptocurrency advertisements on major social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google/YouTube is a blessing to TRX. It would not be prudent to conclude that Tron blockhain will replace these platforms anytime soon, however this might be the start of a revolution. With these major social companies banning crypto ads, most crypto enthusiasts were left with the question, 'Why?'
I concluded that these companies were not banning ads as a precaution to scams but rather due their own interest. Story for another day. This shows the power we give to centralized corporations. TRON (TRX) is here to change all that with the market left to decide what is to be put on the web. The decentralized web will allow users to decide what content is to be broadcasted and what to be pulled down. This ensures information is disseminated and delivered in a free and fair platform.
No more controlled information and censoring information. Congratulations 'social companies', you played yourselves.
- Justin is a real marketer
Justin has previously been criticized heavily on various media streams, on Reddit or Twitter for being a serial marketer with no real plans. I will agree that it seems a bit too much at times but that is his passion and job, seeing TRON flourish technologically and gain adoption. As much as technological developments of TRON are core to the coin reaching top 10, the latter is just as important.
Name me one cryptocurrency founder who is as committed and driven to marketing their product as Justin is. Charlie Lee? Maybe. I definitely think Mr. Sun's enthusiasm will be key in making Tron shine all the way.
To conclude my piece, TRON (TRX) may continue to fall in prices in the coming days but only due to the overall sentiments in the market. Once the Mainnet is launched, this will be the coin everyone will be talking about given its massive potential for development and its development team too. Tron is here to decentralize the web! Who knows, we might well see TRON pass the $1-mark before the end of the year.

For a convention (4 hour time slot):
PCs: Dual-class fighter characters in a coliseum.
This allows a straight fighter, fighter-thief, fighter-mage, or any other fighter-combo desired to spice up the game.
Background: The PCs are gladiators who are about to fight some fantastic monsters in an arena, but there is a twist. Under the coliseum is a "dungeon" of sorts. The rooms are either empty or contain items to make the arena fight more interesting.
The coliseum itself is warded by magic so that the gladiators and monsters cannot leave the arena (or the sky directly above for flying creatures). The stands directly in front of the king/ruler are further guarded. There are armed troops for the first many rows. Then there are troop commanders armed with magical weapons. Then there are powerful mages surrounding the king/ruler's viewbox.
First three hours: Exploring the dungeon below.
The PCs are allowed to recruit 4 of the monsters they find in the dungeons. Later, powerful mages will charm these creatures to fight on the side of the party. The PCs have to decide as soon as they meet the creature whether to recruit them or pass. The ones they pass will fight them later in the arena. When they have chosen 4, the rest of the creature doors are locked.
The PCs will also find other things in the dungeons: weapons, armor, other items of various uses. The party starts with nothing before the delve.
Final hour: Arena battle
The PCs and the creatures they have recruited have to battle the creatures they didn't recruit. Maybe get a second DM to run the PC creatures and I run the evil creatures? However it is done, get another DM (or two) to help run!

Gigi Di Biagio has work to do, as Italy's Under-21 side suffered a surprise 2-1 friendly defeat in Romania.
This was the Azzurrini's chance to warm up for September's crucial European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Serbia and Cyprus, but did not go as planned.
Federico Bernardeschi of Fiorentina and Cristiano Biraghi went close, but George Puscas was able to put Romania in front with a header from close range on a corner.
Watford midfielder Cristian Battocchio forced a save, but once more Italy's defender from a corner was woeful and Mihai Balasa nodded in a second.
In first half stoppages Danilo Cataldi curled in a free kick to get one back, but Domenico Berardi, Federico Viviani and Samuele Longo didn't make the most of chances to avoid defeat. Daniele Rugani saw a header palmed round the post.
Francesco Bardi was forced to tip a Claudiu Bumba effort out from under the bar.
Romania 2-1 Italy
Scorers: Puscas 30 (R), Balasa 44 (R), Cataldi 45 (I)
Romania U21: Buzbuchi; Balasa (Popadiuc 66), Tiru, Boldor, Filip (Tosca 76); Iancu (Putanu 81), Cretu, Nedelcu (Serban 66), Rotariu (Bumba 66); Mitrita (Tanase 46); Puscas (Ivan 73)

We are more connected now beyond what most can understand.
Reading your last letter put me there with you and our boys.
I could feel Nate's pain through each word you wrote.
I wept so hard for him, as I felt his pain.
It never gets easier to bear. But, you and I truly did our best.
If nothing else, it was mostly my fault. I felt so bad because we'd had no choice but to send DJ back to that hellhole with his mother. We just couldn't get any help from the mental health system.
There is never enough to go around for these kids(kids with special needs), as the funding is always cut to line someone else's pockets further up the chain.
I was just blinded by wanting to show Daniel Jr. love; I needed him to see that I cared for him. I was so excited about being a project manager, having a job 'back home' after being up north for that time away from Southern people and family; it felt like a new start.
I also didn't want him to feel the way that my dad made me feel, that I was nothing, worthless…
When we moved back to North Carolina, I had hoped that perhaps we could start over, maybe do family therapy, try again to get some help and find out what exactly had been going on. We just didn't know.
There was so much confusion, and Carolyn always kept the older kids riled up and starting things at home; it was hard to keep things calm.
Nothing I can say will change what happened, I just pray to God, for it all.
I pray, for all of my children to receive healing. There is nothing I can do in here, but pray, the hurt is so strong knowing that we just weren't fully aware of the extent of the damage that was occurring. God forgive DJ for doing those acts, and I pray Veronica, Nate and Alex will learn to lean on the Lord to give them hope. Their faith will grow as ours has, and even though God's plan may not make sense right now, it will in time, according to His purpose. Nothing I can say, as a man can make anything right. My love has become so much stronger knowing Jesus' love is so much more than we can understand. I wish I could hold all of them, my children, and give them comfort where there is none, and let them feel their daddy's love again. May they feel God's love around them, giving them comfort.
They are still tearing off the holiday stickers that you put on my envelopes. But, at least they aren't marking out the bible verses you write on them. I am listening to the Christmas shoe song. It always makes me cry to hear that. I miss my mom so much. She never had much, but she always tried to give more than she had. Those little gifts meant so much to her to be able to give to her children and grandchildren. It wasn't the toy that mattered, it was what was in her heart. She was so giving!

"Those of us who have been on the inside know how difficult it is in there. Take it from us, be an outie, and help in any way you can."
The author intended this book "...to help incarcerated women gain access to vital information that is not available to them inside the jail..." But those who never have or probably never will land in jail should read it anyway - this guide is eye-opening.
Francisco writes with shocking honesty about her troubles with the law. Her frankness and clarity might startle readers more than once. She interviewed other inmates and got brutally honest, forthright answers. And they shared shocking incidences such as when a seemingly power-hungry warden transporting ill inmates to and from the jail to medical facilities said, "If you talk at all on this bus I will turn the heat up as far as it goes..." Such abuse of power is described throughout the book. Readers may find themselves cringing with embarrassment for so-called humanity.
Francisco writes it all in clean copy accompanied by her stunning illustrations. The book itself is professionally put together, and the orange cover, and orange, barbed-wire design trim on each page can hardly be overlooked. These add to the dramatic effect that the subject truly deserves. The author's guide may be shocking to most, but the major intent of the book is to provide resources and information to inmates who find themselves with the prison gates slamming behind them or for those preparing to do their time. The author has compiled information, affidavits, and other blank forms for those in need (e.g. a caregiver's authorization affidavit). Helping with the red tape and administrative aspects related to imprisonment, this book should be made available to all prisoners.

New Book GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO COUNTY JAIL Describes Author's Life in Jail, Offers Guide for Survival Behind Bars
Author Ellen Marie Francisco Exposes Life Behind Bars Before Trial and with No Bail

Good Girl's Guide to County Jail
LOS ANGELES - Nov. 17, 2017 - PRLog -- Millions of viewers have made the television series "Orange is the New Black" a pop culture sensation, but Ellen Marie Francisco (http://www.EllenMarieFrancisco.com) has no interest in watching it or reading the memoir, by Piper Kerman, which spawned the hit show.
Francisco has lived her own version of "Orange is the New Black," an experience she refers to as "innocent in oranges." "Oranges" is prison jargon for the orange jump suits worn by prisoners who have been charged but who have not yet been to trial, Francisco explains.
Francisco, an author and entrepreneur, describes her experience behind bars in her latest book, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO COUNTY JAIL (FOR THE BAD GIRL IN US ALL). A gripping and candid tale of her journey through three California jails for women, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO COUNTY JAIL (https://books.friesenpress.com/store/title/119734000025993982) also serves as a resource guide for navigating the legal thickets necessary to surviving what Francisco dubs the "Incarcer Nation".
GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO COUNTY JAIL "is a call to action to remedy the lack of support for pre-sentenced women sitting in jails across America who are not educated enough to understand what they're negotiating in the courtroom," Francisco explains, "and for the women who don't realize how close they already are to the courthouse steps."
Francisco was arrested in 2013 in Lake Arrowhead, California and charged with carjacking, assault with a deadly weapon and robbery after an incident involving her impounded car. The charges were ultimately dropped, but not before Francisco had served nearly two months in three county jails. While locked up, she talked to hundreds of women "each on a different path without a definitive end, each living with the certain fear that they were not in control of their own lives."
Those conversations became the nucleus of GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO COUNTY JAIL.
About the Author Ellen Marie Francisco
Canadian born Ellen Marie Francisco worked in feature film development and production in Toronto on Canadian Content film projects partially funded through Telefilm Canada in the '80s. She was transferred to Los Angeles in the early '90s to help expand the production company into Los Angeles. Her work in the entertainment industry continued for decades under a NAFTA Investor Visa in Los Angeles, and environs with her catering company Amazing Graze. Her resort community Real Estate business Cabin Ready operated to the point of her untimely arrest.
Francisco has also worked in the publishing industry. Along the way, she landed a job with writer Sidney Sheldon as a proofreader and fan mail response writer. That experience and her tenure in publishing helped shape her own voice.
Her work as a photographer in Toronto and California in the early '90s landed her backstage access to Cirque du Soleil and one of her first print credits. She has sold and/or shown photographic works in galleries on the Big Island of Hawaii, in Los Angeles and Toronto. The book is filled with her raw and captivating vector artwork, a visual storyboard to her harrowing journey through the "Incarcer Nation."
Francisco is the adoptive mother of two children and a Chihuahua named Piglet. They currently reside in Ottawa, Ontario.

Manager's Profile
Care of the Elderly was a passion of mine right from the start and has been my focus for over 30 years. I began my nursing career in 1986 in Jersey qualifying as an RGN nurse in 1989.
Following qualification, I gained 10 years' experience nursing in Europe, mainly in France and Italy where I specialised as a Clinical Nurse trainer and quality auditor for a global elderly care company, ensuring staff were trained to the highest levels and residents were cared for to the highest standards, before returning to the UK and finally Jersey.
My professional development and further qualifications have concentrated on elderly palliative care, dementia, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and grief and bereavement counselling. For the last 20 years I have gained invaluable experience in the roles of Unit Manager, to Deputy Manager posts and finally Home Manager.
I enjoy all aspects of my work including the daily challenges working closely with many professionals to achieve a happy home environment where our residents can enjoy a peaceful and person centred retirement. Specialising in Dementia has led to the completion of my master's degree in Dementia, and full involvement of training and supporting staff in the Caring Homes bespoke City and Guilds accredited "Living in my World" dementia training.
I lead by example to ensure the teams are encouraged, supported and valued, so all aspects of care can be maintained to the highest standards in accordance to caring homes philosophy.

Personal History
|Ray Patterson
| November 23, 1911
Hollywood, California
|December 30, 2001 (aged 90)
Encino, California
Raymond "Ray" Patterson (November 23, 1911 – December 30, 2001) was an American animator, producer, and director. Patterson was born in Hollywood, California, and was the brother of animator Don Patterson.
Professional History
Early career
Patterson's earliest works in animation were for Charles B. Mintz's Krazy Kat/Screen Gems studio, where he started as an inker in 1929. He remained at Mintz for ten years.[1]
Walt Disney Studio
In 1940, he moved to the Walt Disney studio, where he animated on Dumbo and Fantasia, as well as several Pluto shorts (Bone Trouble and Pluto's Playmate).
Patterson left Disney in 1941 during the Disney animators' strike to work at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio, where he was assigned to the Hanna-Barbera unit. Patterson worked with this unit for over twenty years, though he occasionally provided animation for Dick Lundy and Tex Avery's unit. He worked on several Academy Award winning animation shorts: Mouse Trouble (1944), Quiet Please! (1945), The Little Orphan (1948), and Johann Mouse (1952).
Grantray-Lawrence Animation
Patterson left MGM in 1954 to co-found (with former MGM colleague Grant Simmons) Grantray-Lawrence Animation, which he operated until 1967. GrantRay-Lawrence's early work was providing animation for television commercials, including the original "Winston Tastes Good" campaign. The company later moved on to producing such animated television series as Spider-Man and The Marvel Superheroes.[2]
After GrantRay-Lawrence folded in 1967, Patterson joined his former bosses at Hanna-Barbera, where he worked as a supervising director on several animated television series. Patterson was eventually promoted to Vice President in charge of animation direction, a position he held until his retirement in 1993.
Awards and honors
Patterson was awarded the 1999 Winsor McCay Award by the International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood for his lifetime of contributions to the animation field.
On December 30, 2001, (nine months after the passing of William Hanna) Patterson died of natural causes, in Encino, California.

I found the time to make it to the FLGS's monthly 40K tournament on Saturday. 1000 point event, and I brought the following:
Chaplain in TDA, with Primarch's Wrath.
10-man Tactical Squad with multimelta, flamer, veteran sergeant with power axe and pistol
6-man Scout Squad with sniper rifles and camo cloaks
5-man Terminator Squad with two chainfists
10-man Devastator Squad with 4 heavy bolters
10-man Devastator Squad with 3 missile launcher and a lascannon
I ran these guys using Imperial Fists chapter tactics. I have decided that in the next few events I make it to, I'll rotate through all of the chapter tactics. Thus far I've run Ultramarines, White Scars, and now Imperial Fists. Next time will probably be Black Templars, since they are next on the list in the book.
I built the list largely to benefit from the IF tactics. Lots of bolt weapon shots that reroll 1s to hit and some Tank Hunting Devastators. I also grabbed Primarch's Wrath on the Chaplain for fun, and it turned out to be pretty damned good!
My first game was against a pretty standard modern Tau list. Farsight, a unit of Crisis Suits, two 10-man Kroot units with sniper rifles, a missile Broadside, a Riptide, and a ton of drones flying about. We were working on scoring units in the enemy deployment zone as primary, kill points from Troops as secondary, and capturing a central objective using a heavy, fast, or elite unit as tertiary. We had night fight in the first turn, and I went second. I tried to hide damned near everything out of LOS of the Riptide to avoid all the AP3/AP2 weaponry with 72" ranges. Unfortunately, I made some poor choices on where I sent one of my combat squads, and failed a couple key charge distance rolls. I lost primary and secondary, and split tertiary. I landed a bonus point, for a total of 4 for the round.
Second game was against a Space marine drop pod list using Imperial Fists tactics. The whole army is built and modeled to represent Blood Ravens from the Dawn of War games. It included a captain with thunder hammer (Gabriel Angelos?) and artificer armor, a 9-man tac squad with plasma/combiplasma, 8-man tac squad with melta/combimelta, a 5-man Sternguard with grav weapons mixed in, a Dread with multimelta/DCCW, and a Stormraven. Everything that wasn't the Stormraven was in a pod. We were playing for objectives that you had to defuse by standing in claim/contest range and giving up your shooting/assault with that unit for the turn, then kill points, then having more denial units in the enemy deployment zone. I ended up tabling the opposition except for some of his pods, and I think the deciding factor were my Devastators. I had massed heavy weaponry, while my opponent only had short ranged special weapons. I was able to maul each unit after it arrived with heavy bolter and missle/las. The Stormraven came on the board in hover in order to put out more shots and I shot it down in the next turn. 31-0 for me. I'm looking forward to seeing that force painted and modeled though. Their owner even went so far as to model up a wreck marker for the Dread that mimicked the pose and condition of the Dread from the DoW game. Very cool.
Final game was against Thor from Creative Twilight. He ran a Warpsmith, two units of CSM (one plas, one melta) in Rhinos, two Helbrutes, and a Forgefiend. We were playing for shielded objectives (you had to tag a central objective to make one of your own objectives active and claimable), scoring units in the enemy zone, and then kill points. It was a city fight board, with lots of obscured fire lanes. In the end, we tied on primary and secondary, and Thor took tertiary.
A good three games on the day, and 1000 points is actually a nice, quick, easy series of games. I ended up taking home the Best Sport prize.
I really like the IF chapter tactics, though all of them are fun as long as you build your lists to capitalize on them. I learned that Primarch's Wrath is awesome on a bike or Terminator platform. 5 shots a turn that reroll 1s to hit, a single two (master crafted), and all to-wound rolls is great. I also discovered that a Devastator Squad with four heavy bolters can glance a Rhino to death in a single turn with proper luck. 12 shots that reroll 1s to hit, and then reroll all failed glances due to Tank Hunters! You can even make one set of heavy bolter shots BS5 with the sergeant's signum, though I often found myself just firing the bolter instead, since I was hitting so reliably at BS4 and rerolled 1s.
The day before the event, I was reading some fluff on the Celestial Lions, which included a synopsis of Aaron Dembski Bowden's "Blood and Fire". I am half-tempted to paint a test Lion to see how they'd turn out as a small IF ally attachment. Of course, I'd also looked at the Subjugators and Iron Fists in the past, and nothing ever came of it.
it was great to finally get to play 40K again, and I was very happy that I had three enjoyable games. I'm continuing work on my drop pod, and waffling again on my Nids. It's funny how I get so down on Marines until I play some games, then I'm right back into it and down on the Nids.

Philip Aldrick
February 26, 2013
Ben Bernanke, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, defended the decision to launch a third round of QE by telling US politicians that the benefits still outweighed the risks.
He was speaking shortly after Sir Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, told an audience in Japan that monetary policy was "not a panacea" for economic problems and repeated his warning that, "as time passes, larger and larger doses of stimulus are required".
Mr Bernanke said policymakers were aware of the risks from QE3, which was launched at the end of last year, including potential problems with unwinding the programme and rising inflation, but he claimed they were not material at the moment. "To this point, we do not see the potential costs of the increased risk-taking in some financial markets as outweighing the benefits of promoting a stronger economic recovery and more rapid job creation," he told the Senate Banking Committee.

Passionate Teacher Dives Out of Window to Prove a Point to Students [VIDEO]
There are some teachers who really go above and beyond in their job. They are passionate about making sure the students are learning. They seem to really care about keeping the kids engaged. This is definitely one of those teachers.
This video from last September recently went viral on Reddit. During a talk about fire safety, he decided to illustrate a point he was making in a way that no student could ignore. After asking what the kids would do if there was a fire, he demonstrated exactly what one of the options would be...by diving right out of the window!
The kids look on in disbelief at what they saw but eventually he comes back in and continues his talk. You can bet that those kids aren't going to forget that day in class.
As an added bonus, and because the world of Reddit makes anything possible, someone decided to make the video even better by adding 'The Simpsons' to the equation. There's a scene from the episode about the PTA disbanding where someone jumps out of a window. That audio with this video is a perfect match!

Puppies have arrived, all doing well, 7 boys (5 liver 2 black) and 2 girls (1 liver 1 black)
This will be Kiki's first litter and my third-generation Dalamanti litter. Puppies are provisionally all reserved. Sorry but due to a huge influx in emails during the current time, I have not had the time to reply to all enquiries. If you're interested in being kept in touch about cancellations, please email me and I will try and respond as soon as I can.
Please contact me for more information about this litter.
Please be prepared to give me more information about yourselves as I ensure my puppies go to the best possible homes for life.
Both parents are BAER hearing tested normal.
Sire is hip scored 3:3 and elbow scored 0.
Both sides have a history of excellent hips.

Jovi is now spayed but I have her 2 stunning daughters to carry the line on in the future.
All Dalmatian puppies bred by Dalamanti will be Kennel Club registered, BAER hearing tested, micro chipped, wormed and dew claws will be removed.
I am a member of the British Dalmatian Club, North Of England Dalmatian Club, and the Dalmatian Club Of Scotland.
Please contact me if you are looking for Dalmatian puppies for sale. I can possibly help even if I don't currently have a litter.
Our ethics when we have Dalmatian puppies for sale.
Important, please read.
Puppies bred by Dalamanti will be BAER hearing tested, Kennel Club registered, micro chipped, dew claws will be removed, and will come with a lifetime of help and advice. My plan as a breeder is to build a well established name in the Dalmatian world with good health and temperaments as a priority. I would be proud to see some of our puppies in the show ring but certainly do not force puppy buyers to show unless they want to. I can offer advice and guidance for this though if it is something you are interested in doing.
I am a member of the British Dalmatian Club, Dalmatian Club of Scotland and the North of England Dalmatian Club, and have been since 2008, I did a brief stint on the DCOS committee, and was on the NOEDC committee for 2 years. So rest assured I abide by breed club rules and do everything I can for the health and wellbeing of the dog and want to ensure they are going to be well loved and looked after in their new homes.
You will be provided with a puppy pack which will include an important diet sheet giving advice about ways to keep purines low, and what foods to avoid, in order to try and reduce the chance of stone forming that is a known issue with Dalmatians. I can also discuss any concerns about this with potential puppy owners.
If you need advice as to whether a Dalmatian puppy is right for your lifestyle, please ask. I want to make sure that my puppies go to the right homes FOR LIFE. That means I will need to know about your lifestyle, working hours, type of home you live in and whether you would have the time to commit to a full time puppy and adult dog, as that is what it will be, FULL TIME!
IMPORTANT: Please be advised that Dalamanti bred puppies will be endorsed to protect their pedigree. This means the Kennel Club wouldn't register puppies unless this is lifted by the breeder (me). This does not mean that you cannot breed from your puppy in future should you want to, but you will have to contact me before breeding and I can discuss lifting the endorsement if the breeding is right. This does not mean you have no control of your dog or its future, but this is for the health and wellbeing of my dogs and to ensure correct ethical breeding.
There will be a contract to sign saying you agree to this before purchase of a puppy, if you cannot agree to this unfortunately I cannot sell you a puppy. There will be a contract to sign to agree to this when the puppy is collected.
Dalamanti Dalmatians,
North East England

Jovi and Cosmo's babies from 2019, 13 pups, 5 bitches and 8 dogs. All these puppies are in their homes.
If you are interested in a puppy from me, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com telling me what sort of home you could offer for one of my puppies.
I don't breed often as I believe in my dogs being loved pets first and foremost. Because of this, I often have waiting lists well in advance of litters even being planned. I ask for forever homes only for my planned puppies and I will be very particular about where my Dalamanti babies will go.

The sire of the litter will be the gorgeous Cosmo, from the successful Kalokairie kennel owned and bred by Alex Cobb. I believe Cosmo will suit Jovi in many ways but also the combined pedigree includes some of the best of British and European lines which has shown to work well together.
I hope for dogs with show potential from this litter so will welcome show enquiries.
I will be very particular about the homes my final Jovi litter will go to. Please email interest to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Eravnoe Lakes
Eravnoe Lakes
a group of lakes on the watershed between the Selenga and Vitim rivers, in the Buriat ASSR.
The largest are Bol'shoe (Great) Eravnoe Lake, which has an area of 104 sq km and is 14 km long and 13 km wide; Maloe (Lesser) Eravnoe Lake, with an area of 60.5 sq km; and Sosnovoe (Pine) Lake, 24 sq km in area. The runoff of most of the lakes is to the Vitim River, through its tributary the Kholoi. The lakes are fed by rain, melted snow, and artesian water. They are important for fishing, yielding perch, roach, and pike.
