Use this guide to safely remove the glued-in battery from your MacBook Pro with the help of an iFixit battery replacement kit. The adhesive remover in your kit will dissolve the adhesive securing the battery, allowing you to remove it with ease. The battery is made up of six distinct cells, four of which are adhered to the upper case.
iFixit adhesive remover is highly flammable. Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or work near an open flame during this procedure.
To minimize risk of damage, turn on your MacBook and allow the battery to fully discharge before starting this procedure. A charged lithium-ion battery can create a dangerous and uncontrollable fire if accidentally punctured. If your battery is swollen, take extra precautions.
Note: The solvent used to dissolve the battery adhesive can damage certain plastics, such as the MacBook Pro's plastic speaker enclosures. Take care when applying the solvent.
If you're using the old-style iFixit adhesive remover with separate bottle and syringe (no longer sold), click here for a slightly modified set of instructions.
Remove the following ten screws securing the lower case to the upper case:
Two 2.3 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
Eight 3.0 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
If don't have one of those neat project mats, then you can use small pieces of flattened blu-tack to hold the screws. If you arrange them in the shape of your mac book cover, and put the screws down methodically, you can get a one-to-one mapping of the screws to the correct screw holes.
Or you can use an ice tray where you put the screws and the parts in separate bays in the same order as they come in the instructions.
This is great! I used a small magnetic white board, and wrote on it to identify the parts as I went. This whole process, from the fast shipment to the great instructions to the complete, high quality, tool kit has been great. I'm typing this comment on my resurrected laptop. Thank you! Sue
Remove the plastic cover adhered to the battery contact board.
This plastic cover wasn't included with the new battery so I placed the original one back in. Was it supposed to go back in? This detail wasn't clear since the original cover didn't fit exactly over the newer battery connector. Plus any stickiness of adhesive that may have been there was gone.
Hi, any issues with you computer after a year? I didn't put mine back in either…
Remove the following screws securing the battery connector board to the logic board:
Two 2.8 mm T6 Torx screws
One 7.0 mm T6 Torx shouldered screw
The colors of the circles marking the locations of the screws in the photo are reversed.
Remove the wide head 6.4 mm T6 Torx screw securing the battery connector to the logic board assembly.
I lost this screw! How important is it? Will it be okay with just the 3 previously removed screws?
Grasp the Interposer with tweezers.
Lift the Interposer off the logic board and remove it.
WHy to remove battery contact board? Replace can happen without it also, right.
You don't want to work on a live system as you could damage parts
Dan -
you must lift it absolutely vertically, or it fouls against the locator pin in the corner- you can easily get the impression that it won't come over the end of this pin- almost like it's rivetted in. it isn't. get a good grip on it with the tweezers in the centre hole & one of the sides, & lift it STRAIGHT up.
Be extra careful when tightening down on the interposer. When I powered on upon completion, the battery was not connected. When I opened it back up, I saw that one of the little metal nubs holding the interposer in place had snapped off (the one on the side, not the corner). I was able to carefully tighten the wide head screw back in, watching the alignment, and the battery was successfully recognized. Hopefully the connection holds up.
So something similar happened to me. One the the metal alignment nubs snapped off, and when I went to screw down the interposer it started emitting a burning smell. Do you guys think I fried the board? There doesn't look to be any visual damage but the computer wont turn on.
Geremy C -
I really dont understand why to unplug so many parts if the SSD can be easily removed without all this effort. its not even connected to the battery..
I was reassembling and put the interposer back and when the battery contact board touched the interposer, there was a little spark. Should I be worried?

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the right side of the I/O board data cable connector up off its socket on the I/O board.
Wedge the flat end of a spudger beneath the left side of the I/O board data cable connector.
Gently twist the spudger to disconnect the I/O board data cable connector from its socket on the logic board.
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the SSD cable connector up from its socket on the logic board.
Move the SSD cable connector out of the way.
Wedge the pointed end of a spudger beneath the right speaker cable connector.
Gently pry the right speaker cable connector up off from its socket on the logic board.
Looks like the pointy end of the spudger tool is used in the picture. That's what I used.

Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the following screws securing the right speaker to the upper case:
One black 6.8 mm screw
One silver 6.3 mm screw
One black 4.9 mm screw
Confirming, 2x T5 6.8mm, one with metal sponge stuff on top. And one T5 6.3mm on the bottom right.
Lift and remove the right speaker out of the upper case.
For those who don't realize it, the speakers you are removing really are the plastic corner pieces that look like they're just there to fill the space.
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the headphone jack cable connector straight up off its socket on the logic board.
Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the following screws securing the left speaker to the upper case:
One black 6.8 mm screw
One silver 6.3 mm screw
One black 4.9 mm screw
The 6.3mm screw appears to be on the lower central part of the Macbook that I'm working on.
Be very careful on this step. If you aren't you can snap the plastic on the corners where the screws go in. Remember to go slowly when spinning the screws back in, it doesn't take gorilla torque to tighten them, just take it easy!
Thanks everyone for the heads up! We've gone back and remeasured the screws to confirm, and have updated the guide appropriately.
Use your thumb or finger to bend the plastic spring bar on the SSD tray, freeing the two clips at the front side of the device.
While holding the spring bar depressed, tilt the SSD assembly up out of its cavity.
Remove three 2.2 mm T5 Torx screws from each side of the battery (six screws total).
To protect your display, place a sheet of aluminum foil between the display and keyboard and leave it there while you work.
Steps 24-34 are UNNECESSARY for this repair! Removing the adhesive portion of the battery is not required to remove the trackpad. Just lift up the top part of the battery that is screwed in and unplug the trackpad cable.

You can use a heat gun to remove the adhesive. Remember you can always add more heat so don't over do it. I put my heat gun on high for less than 10 seconds at a time
Using a heat gun on a lithium-ion battery is not a good idea. You can get away with it if you are careful, but a solvent is much safer. ;)
Now that your MacBook Pro is fully prepped, it's time to prep yourself.
Wear eye protection when handling and applying the adhesive remover. (Eye protection is included in your kit.)
Do not wear contact lenses without eye protection.
Protective gloves are also included in your kit. If you are concerned about skin irritation, put your gloves on now.
Apply a few drops of adhesive remover evenly under the edge of the leftmost battery cell.
Wait 2-3 minutes for the liquid adhesive remover to penetrate underneath the battery cell before you proceed to the next step.
If you use a heat gun be sure to point the heat gun away from the motherboard. After heating for 10 seconds or less use the blunt end of the metal pry tool as you don't want to puncture the battery. You don't need much force as after you have enough heat you will hear it unsticking when you pry at it lightly with the BLUNT end of the metal pry tool. Repeat this step on the other side. You don't need to heat the cells near the motherboard as they are secured with small screws
Insert the flat edge of a spudger or plastic card underneath the leftmost battery cell.
Run your tool along the bottom perimeter of the battery cell and lift to begin separating the adhesive.
This is the most difficult step. The tip of my spudger got bended and the aluminum case damaged it.
I also broke a spudger trying to do this. Eventually I figured out it is easier to go in diagonally from the corner, just to one side of the screw hole, and lever until you hear the adhesive pad tear and give way.
we use a hair dryer and gently blow hot air in between the battery for a good minute before trying to lift it with a spunger. It worked wonderfully! When lifting, just give it constant force upward and you'll hear the battery slowly breaking away from the macbook, and we don't even see glue residues on our macbook at all. Just be patient. :)
Just a note to say that the above comments were written before the liquid adhesive remover was added to the guide—you should definitely NOT be breaking any spudgers using the current procedure, which requires very little force. I recommend using plastic cards rather than spudgers—it's pretty easy to slide them under each battery cell and separate the adhesive once the solvent has done its work.
This is much easier to do using a plastic card. Just slide the card under the side of the battery and rock it back and forth. The battery will separate pretty quickly with minimal residue.
by a plastic card, do you mean a credit card type thing? thanks in advance.
Exactly—one of these or an old credit card should work fine.
I second this, I also used an old credit card and it totally worked! I did not use any heat or liquid
Repeat the above steps to separate the adjacent battery cell from its adhesive:
Apply a few drops of liquid adhesive remover under the battery cell.
Wait 2-3 minutes for the adhesive remover to penetrate and soften the adhesive.
Carefully wedge a spudger or plastic card inwards, being careful to not damage the battery, and separate the battery cell from the adhesive securing it to your MacBook Pro.
Switch sides and repeat the above procedure for the two battery cells on the right-hand side of the MacBook Pro.
Remember to add a small amount of liquid adhesive remover under each battery cell, and wait 2-3 minutes for it to penetrate before prying up the cell.
Puncturing the battery's protective covering can lead to release of caustic fumes or fire.
Lift the battery as a whole up out of the upper case, and remove the battery.
With a little luck, you can slowly pull out each strip of adhesive with your fingers.
Otherwise, soak each section of adhesive with a bit of adhesive remover for 2-3 minutes, and then scrape it out with an opening pick or one of the other tools in your kit. This can take quite a bit of work, so be patient.
Mop up any remaining adhesive remover and give your MacBook Pro a few minutes to air dry.
Calibrate your newly installed battery: charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Unplug and use it normally to drain the battery. When you see the low battery warning, save your work, and keep your laptop on until it goes to sleep due to low battery. Wait at least 5 hours, then charge your laptop uninterrupted to 100%.
During battery replacement take care to position the two left and right battery packs inwards and upwards towards the macbook center such, that there is sufficient space for reinstallation of the two speakers!
I second Fred's suggestion. I had to "smoosh" the right speaker in since my battery replacement was a little bit too far over. It was fine, but the "heads up" note is warranted.
If you're replacing the top case that includes a new battery, can't you skip removal of the battery?
Yes!! If uppercase Assembly(Includes Trackpad, keyboard, Palmrest & BATTERY) is being replaced, there is no need to remove battery from old uppercase assembly.

When you are at this step and before you put the new battery in, take the time to clean your computer really well. You will be surprised how much dust/dirt and even pet hairs have gotten into your computer. After I removed the battery, I use a little more of the acetone to clean the bays up and after it dried, I used a tiny bit of Isopropyl Alcohol to make sure there was a good clean area for the new bonding. Make sure you clean the fans. Don't use a toothbrush or anything like that. If your have a Lowes or Home Depot, you can buy a shop vac attachment kit for about $20, it's well worth it. Don't use that air in a can crap, it will put moisture on circuits. Take your time, it's not a hard task to do everything, just use a little patience.
thanks to everyone for the helpful comments along with this really good tick list of things to do. The main thing I have learned is, I don't have the patience to do this so I am taking my macbook pro (early 2013) 90 odd miles to my nearest Apple store with a Genuis bar. They can sort it for me. They might charge a lot to do it, but at least it will be them risking messing the process up not me! Thanks again.
Really well done on this. I followed it to a T. Perfect. Thank you for all your work on this.
I wouldn't have thought to drain my old battery! (Which means I cannot begin my 'new battery install' until later today.
Hi all,
After installing the new batteries, my mac is not powering up… Do i need to charge the battery first and then check again? Have anyone faced similar issue before?
My 1st battery from ifixit came out to be defective and it caused fire at the centre of the long battery. I have got a replacement for the defective piece which i have installed now. However, now i am worried that connecting to power could lead to any potential fire / harm to my mac???
Already i have spent lot of time in this and it would be very upsetting if this battery spoils my mac!!!
Any suggestion people???? thanks in advance!
Hi Vijay!
Uh-oh, we're sorry to hear about the battery trouble!
Our batteries come with a 1-year warranty, so this would definitely be something we can assist with. Please feel welcome to reach out via help.ifixit.com and provide our Support team with your order number so that they can look into these battery troubles with you.
My Macbook Pro late 2012 battery is swollen. All 6 cells are. I noticed it when I replaced the cooler paste using your excellent guide.
This Macbook has become a desktop Mac, I don't carry it around much anymore. Can I just remove the old battery, dispose of it in appropriate channel and use my Macbook Pro without battery always on power cable? This will also increase ventilation. Or will the Macbook Pro refuse to start up in the absence of the battery? I remember this worked on the white Macbook back in the days.
Hi All,
Just replaced battery, and am typing this on the live MacBook. The unit fired up as soon as I plugged in the power adapter. Nice. The battery percentage indicator said the battery had approximately 85% power charge. Is this normal? If not, what steps should I take to ensure that this battery is properly calibrated?
Can someone tell me which model is written in the battery? I saw that is written the model a1437. Is this model compatible with the a1425? Thanks
Hi Mizuno,
The battery model is A1437, and it is compatible with the MacBook Pro model A1425.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Followed this guide step by step. Very comprehensive and accurate. I would never have dared disconnect the speakers if this guide didn't show me how.
One point though. The lower left and right speaker screws had some metallic sponge on top of them. I wouldn't have known there were screws underneath.
Excellent guide. I'm a repair technician who works on both PCs and Macs. This was my first rMBP battery replacement and I wasn't sure what to expect. For those experienced with electronics repairs, I'd say this is a relatively easy repair with the exception of releasing the adhesive which holds the battery cells to the case. I was eventually able to do it with a spudger and some elbow grease, but I was worried at times that I was going to puncture the battery. Apple really needs to dial back the strength of adhesive they use for these applications. They are clearly making it as difficult as possible for the average user to attempt, which IMO may end up costing them well informed and thoughtful customers. This setup is similar to the iPhone 6 battery (which I actually did puncture with a spudger the first time I removed one) albeit more involved to remove. In the case of the iPhone, a few minutes on the hot plate loosens it right up but this isn't really feasible in the case of the rMBP.
I recommend to skip step 14 ( pry the left speaker cable connector up off from its socket on the logic board). The risk of damaging the socket is very high. There is even a warning in this guide (Be sure you are prying up on the connector, not the socket itself!).
Proceed from 13 to 15 and 16 to remove the right speaker. Still with the connector in place you can put the speaker a bit aside and have enough room to remove the battery packs in the steps later.
Same for left speaker and its connector cable (step 18).
Hint by @roelofk with old credit card is very helpful.
Excellent description and excellent pictures. Thx
Apple should not put Adhesive most specially the time you spent to remove it. Its easy but it takes time cause the adhesive is like a glue, If somebody
read this the tactic is borrow a Hair drier from your wife and heat this Bad Battery really hot and start inserting the Plastic or whatever you have underneath the Battery slowly. Apple should just put some kind of anti static foam so its easy to remove in no time theres cover anyway that foam will keep it from moving period thats it.
Excellent guide, it worked very well for me, the parts and tools I purchased here made this job easy and a pleasure! Getting the batteries unstuck from their glue is the hardest part for sure, just patience and proper tools and it doesn't take too long though. Thank you so much!
Excellent guide, but PLEASE consider changing the reported difficulty to medium (iFixit, if that's not something the author can do). The process is actually super easy, but just takes over an hour to do.
I nearly didn't do it myself after realising it was rated the same difficulty as an SSD/HDD change in an iMac (with which I cracked my screen in two places), but it isn't. This is about a 2/10 difficulty level, and that's about 9/10.
I just think it would be a shame if the reported difficulty dissuaded people from doing it, and wasted hundreds of dollars paying Apple to do it. If you can read, and have the equivalent dexterity of tying shoelaces, you can do this. :)
Also, the battery removal is a pain, but if you cut an old credit card down the middle, you have two "spudgers" you can use underneath in a turning motion (sort of like rotating a lever in-plane), while pulling it in and out. A bit of patience and you'll get each half out in about 5 minutes.
Great manual! Thanks a lot. I do agree with @longtimemacuser tough, difficulty level was discouraging me. Once I read all the steps, I thought I could do it and I did it and it worked! So I believe this difficult level should be medium, it's not hard (expect for the battery adhesive), it just take a long time to do it.
I had a water incident with my wife's Macbook Pro. After drying the machine it would startup on power but the battery was toast. It said the battery needed replacing. Went through this battery replacement procedure - agree with the posts above that it's not as difficult as I was expecting based on the difficulty level.
Incidentally - after battery replacement the battery charged once then after that the machine wouldn't boot at all. I eventually went through this procedure a second time then removed the logic board and the i/o board and liberally cleaned both with a 99.9% isopropyl alcohol bath. Reassembled all the components and everything works great. I assume this was due to some residual water damage and the cleaning seemed to do the trick.
Kids got a new spill resistant chromebook new and the wife's Macbook Pro is happy again.
This was much easier than expected, and the MBP is keeping a charge just like when I pulled it out of the box 4 years ago. Like was said before, this might be the step below "difficult" unless you've got the coordination of an elephant on stilts. Thanks for the guide!
Very clear instructions, I followed them carefully and everything worked out fine! It was quite easy, actually.
I only improvised by using my nail polish remover (acetone) as an alternative to adhesive remove, worked as expected though :)
Been repairing Apple laptops on a regular basis for about 17 years now but this was my first 'Retina Battery Adventure.' As a long-experienced Apple tech, this really isn't a very hard job. Just use the adhesive remover very carefully. It does all the hard work.
I bought iFixit's 'kit', which turned out to be a great value; the replacement battery along with a spudger, precision tweezers, a syringe, a super-precision nozzle (for the syringe), small jar of adhesive remover (I think it's just Acetone nail polish remover ), gloves, pry tool and pry pick, two pry cards, eye protection… oh, and a tool handle like the one in my iFixit universal toolkit, along with all the screwdriver bits required for the repair.
With all the extra pry tools and stuff, it looked like prep for a journey to the center of the earth or somethin'.... And hey, I was NOT disappointed when the job turned out to be waaay easier than implied by all the extra tooling. A nice collection of extra stuff for my kit! I now have two spudgers.
I just successfully replaced my battery. I used pure acetone from the pharmacy to "melt" the glue. Afterwards you can easily (but carefully) remove it with a credit card (or similar).

Easy to follow guide. Tip: Install new battery AND re-install the speakers at the same time
Wonderfully comprehensive and easy to follow. I was able to remove the old battery and install a new one in around 1 hour. Take your time, read all of the instructions and look at all of the images a couple of times before starting. I separated all of the screws and labeled them so reassembly was a snap. Huge thanks to the author and to this site for offering the parts and detailed guide! My Mac is like new again.
I did this battery replacement this morning. If you follow the excellent instructions and take your time this is not very difficult. One thing that wasn't covered is that the replacement battery comes attached to a piece of plexiglass to aid in the positioning of the 5 pieces of the battery. The quality control on the positioning was not perfect on mine - I had to detach half and position, then place the other half. The placement of the replacement is not covered in the instructions - but isn't very difficult.
I recommend getting the full kit - it was complete and made the replacement go easier. My new replacement is charging to 97% and has a capacity of 6358 mAh. This is almost 1000mAh more than my original battery was reporting! My old battery was only lasting an hour, this one is reporting 4+ hours.
Thanks! Great documentation and a solid kit.
Thank you for a great guide! I was a bit worried about this, as it was rated Difficult, but it was not bad at all. I have been working on computers for many years, but had never cracked this model of MBP. My 13-year old daughter assisted me with the "transplant", and all went well. (She has repaired a few iPhones for friends.) My old battery was only lasting a little over two hours, and I hope I have a significant increase in charge time with this new battery. Changing the battery took us about two hours, the longest amount of time was dealing with the adhesive. We found that the card provided worked better than the spudger, and the cloths in the kit were perfect for getting the remaining adhesive off after removing the battery. My daughter got to learn a new skill, and is confident that she could replace the battery in her MBP.
Zunächst mal großes Erlebnis, wenn das Paket mit all dem passenden Werkzeug und dem Akku ankommt. Alles hervorragende Qualität. Mal abwarten, ob der Akku hält, was er verspricht.
Die Anleitung ist sehr gut geschrieben, allerdings klappte der Akkuwechsel wesentlich leichter, als angekündigt. Hier ist keine Zauberei erforderlich. Nur gute Vorbereitung. Was Sinn macht: Ein Foto vom offenen Laptop machen, auf DIN a 4 ausdrucken, dann kann man die Schrauben immer an die richtige Stelle legen (am besten mit Klebeband fixieren, zB. den PRITT-Roller).
Stellt Euch einen Staubsauger zur Seite mit weicher Bürste. So könnt Ihr sehr vorsichtig die Berge an angesammeltem Staub entfernen, die sich im Gerät abgelagert haben.
Ich würde einen Hinweis begrüßen, dass die Akkus beim Einbau möglichst nah an den inneren Rand eingesetzt werden, um den Einbau der Lautsprecher zu erleichtern, die sind sonst sehr unter Spannung.
Ach ja: Der Akku wird dank eigener Platine als neuer Akku erkannt und die Anzahl Ladezyklen mit 1 angegeben.
Installation went great, but now my Mac isn't recognizing the new battery. It doesn't hold a charge and will shut off if not plugged in. Can anyone help/elaborate on this?! Also, I already reset the SMC…
You can find a few things to try in this thread: New replacement battery for MacBook Pro not recognised. Good luck!
This is a clear and very comprehensive guide. Just finished changing the battery to my computer.
Thank you Sam Lionheart and Ifixit, could not have done it without you. Love my IFIXIT tools!!
Brilliant guide. Great job - the repair was flawless. Old battery was at 5500 mAh capacity - now up to 6699 mAh!!!!!
It took me about 3 hours, because I spent a lot of time cleaning as I went. First time it was opened since 2014.
The instructions were very good. I was able to replace the battery using this guide. One tip is to have little cups for the small parts you remove in each step and number them with the step. When you go to put it back, you just have to look at the step number and corresponding picture you will know exactly where it goes. This will save you time from hunting for them, especially the very small ones.
Great guide, replaced my battery in no time without any problems. Shame the Ifixit battery I bought now only has about 60% capacity after 4 of use months and 12 recharge cycles. Says Service battery again!
Hi Scott,
The battery should definitely last more than that. Try calibrating the battery following the instructions below. If that doesn't solve the issue, contact our support and we will help resolve the issue!
For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.
The replacement is easy, thanks to the excellent description.
Only the adhesive foils of the replacement batteries were too weak. The batteries detached after a short time, so I had to reopen the case and use my own adhesive foils to get this fixed.
The fact that the batteries were loose was noticeable by a clattering sound.

Great guide but I had one minor issue, when installing the new battery you need a note to make sure you place the two remote batteries snug top and inside or you don't have enough room to install the speakers. I had to pull them up and restick them down.
Excellent guide. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I was worried about removing the adhesive and getting the battery out without damaging it but it turned about to be quite straightforward - just take your time and let the solvent do its work. Thanks.

Ghanaian former world bantamweight champion Joseph Agbeko (28-4, 22KOs) has told WBN that he has WBA super bantamweight titlist Guillermo Rigondeaux firmly in his sights as he lines up another shot at a world title.
The 32 year-old has been out of the ring since losing back to back decisions against Abner Mares last year and is now ready to head to 122lbs to take on one of the top fighters in the Cuban two-time Olympic champion.
"I want to throw a challenge to Guillermo Rigodeaux," Agbeko told World Boxing News. "I watched his last fight last Saturday and he did really well, but he got exposed a few times. I believe he is a great fighter, but not to the level he is rating himself.
"He may be two time Olympic gold medallist but he won't ever be two-time world professional boxing champion. Donaire and Mares are right for not fighting him because they think he has not done a lot as a professional fighter so he needs to prove himself some more. If Rigo really wants those fights against Mares and Donaire, then he need to fight some big names like Joseph 'King Kong' Agbeko to prove himself. I want to fight him Guillermo Rigodeaux. I want to give him that test.
"Rigodeaux should stop mentioning Mares and Donaire's names if he hasn't fought me. He should shut up and fight me first. He should beat me to prove himself to the world. Rigo - let's get it on!"
Rigondeaux, 31, is already feared by many in the division, despite having had just 11 professional contests.
'Rigo' has a wealth of experience in the amateur game with almost 400 bouts and has been fast-tracked to a world title at lightning speed.
There is talk of a move to featherweight for the hard-hitting Olympic great, although Agbeko is hoping to catch him before he does and get back to winning ways in the process.

March 1, 2008 | Following the launch last year of ECell 3D, Kazaharu Arakawa of Keio University in Japan has launched another colorful and intuitive bioinformatics tool. Drawing inspiration from iTunes and Google Maps, the database browser, called Genome Projector (www.g-language.org/GenomeProjector/), was developed at Keio's Institute for Advanced Biosciences over the past year.
As a highly visual and searchable genome browser with zoomable user interface, Genome Projector contains four "maps:" Genome Map, Plasmid Map, DNA Walk, and Pathway Map. Each map indicates genes in various colors, such as rRNA in red stripes and tRNA in green stripes in the Genome Map.
Genome Projector currently lists some 320 circular bacterial genomes, reflecting Arakawa's research interests, but may be expanded to include eukaryotes.
Design was important to Arakawa. He's a fan of Apple software because it traditionally sports an intuitive user interface. "This is often not the case for bioinformatics software and databases," he says. "[I] borrowed color schemes and layout [from iTunes]," Arakawa says, adding that he was also inspired by Google Maps, from which he plucked its free API for the project design.
His inspiration, however, was a Roche biochemical pathways chart. As an undergraduate, he was fascinated by the metabolism wallchart. It seemed to him "the grand sum of the history of biochemistry," he recalls. He "almost trembled with excitement to start afresh in systems biology, to build dynamic cellular simulations on top of this knowledge."
The result of that fervor is Genome Projector. The G-language-powered database browser uses a Restauro-G back end to annotate the genome by similarity searches using the BLAST-Like Alignment Tool, connecting with protein databases such as UniProt Knowledgebase and NCBI nr. The front end boasts Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX and EXT 2.0 framework.
Distinguishing ItselfGenome Projector resembles Cold Spring Harbor researcher Lincoln Stein's GBrowse, although the two browsers do differ. For example, Arakawa says browsers such as GBrowse are designed to be scalable interfaces but require several user interactions, and are not genuinely zoomable user interface (ZUI) applications.
Stein told Bio•IT World: "That is absolutely correct! However, there is a trade off between speed and functionality, and the popular browsers — I'm including Ensembl and UCSC genome browser in this — provide more functionality at the moment."
Stein says features need to be added to Genome Projector to broaden its appeal, such as a way to allow for annotation, so "community members can upload data sets to visualize... the genome background," and a way to show more detail as one zooms in, via semantic zooming. While, "it does have popup windows with additional information on genes and enzymes… the lack of semantic zooming is still a big usability problem, in my opinion," says Stein.
Arakawa says his primary aim was to "allow quick, continuous zooming as opposed to the original KEGG [Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes] Pathway and GBrowse, [which both] require page transition[s] for zooming in and out." But he concedes that if his team implements a human map for Genome Projector, "it is critical to consider using semantic continuous zooming."
Other critics charge that Genome Projector may not be viable for large-scale genomic analysis. Accelrys' Nancy Latimer, product manager for the Gene Expression, R-Statistics, and Text Analysis collections for the company's SciTegic Pipeline Pilot products, is doubtful.
"From an information/visualization point of view, it is extremely compelling; it's very, very intuitive and it satisfies a lot of the requirements of a good data visualization approach," she says. However, she is "less certain" that for researchers doing genomic analysis, "this tool would give them the flexibility they need to zoom in on their particular question.
Mapping the Next StepsGenome Projector is slated to go beyond beta by the end of the year, after publication, but Arakawa is already busy with plans for its next phase.
He hopes to introduce more views, starting with KEGG Atlas. "Right now, the only way to map certain information over the four views is by creating a new overlay, which is computationally heavy [and takes] several minutes to generate," Arakawa says. "I would like to optimize this process so that we can start providing a web service for data mapping, and to develop a new means based only on client-side Javascript so that it is faster with no load on the server."
Moreover, he would like to make it easier for Genome Projector users to put their own pins and annotations on the maps, to allow sharing of information, ideally with a DAS (Distributed Annotation System) backend.
Genome Projector's future may include a resemblance to the "My Maps" feature of Google Maps.
Sidebar: ECell 3D
Arakawa debuted ECell 3D at a packed house at an Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology conference workshop last July in Vienna. Like Genome Projector, ECell 3D is a bioinformatics tool with a focus on ease of use.
"In my experience, [the] modeling process is mostly heuristic, with numerous trials and errors to get the model to work right, to sufficiently capture the cellular behavior that a scientist wants to test and learn," says Arakawa. Therefore, good user interface and design that supports this process, such as ECell 3D for simulation results, and Genome Projector for data mining and searching, are essential."
ECell 3D boasts an interface that enables researchers to model cellular systems in 3-D graphics. The resulting platform, controlled by Bluetooth, is strikingly visual, looking much like a flight pattern or constellation map.
Arakawa hopes to start integrating the software tools he's developed so far to create a prototype modeling environment around ECell and hopes to achieve a "sophisticated environment" for modeling in systems biology.
"There are a number of cell simulators already available," says Arakawa, but he believes "Automation through knowledge integration for modeling is a key step for the success of systems biology." -- L.W.

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct
No valid kits found
Hello I am new to Qt and programming. In class we're were told to use Qt Creator, but I cannot create a project, because the program tells me that "there were no valid kits found". I am using version 4.4.1.
I am probably missing something, also I have seen that other people in class, when installing the program could choose which libraries, compilers etc. they wanted to add, but I didn't have that option during the installation. Also, the size of the download was, at least so I was told, around 30GB while mine had a size of 700 MB.
Do I have to manually add the kits and if thet's the case how do I do this?
As you can probably tell by now I really am completely new to not just Qt, but this kind of thing in general.
I hope that someone can help me since I have no clue how to solve this (probably simple) problem.
Hi and welcome to devnet forum
Please share the selection list of your Qt install.
Did you use the online installer?
What operation system are using?
It looks like you have deselected all components and only Qt creator is installed.
Hi.First, thanks for the quick reply.
I am using Windows 10 as OS.
And yes I used the online installer. Though I do not know exactly what I selected during the installation. I just accepted the default settings. If it is as you say and I somehow deselected all the components, how do I (re-)install them?
Best is to restart the MaintenanceTool.exe and use the first option
like here:
Here is an example of what I have installed.
For starting you need at least one version of Qt libs (e.g. Qt 5.9.2).
Either you load all, which is quite a bit or you should load / check
This installs the MinGW pre-build and you need also to check the appropriate compiler under tools. The compiler for the pre-build is for Qt 5.9.2 MinGW 5.3.0 . If you like to install another MinGW pre-build, you need this compiler as well.
You could use also the MSVC201* versions, but there you need to install the MSVC201* compiler version,which you have to purchase or to install the respective community version.
As you see I am working with MinGW, which is fine. From my point of view no need to go for MSVC versions.
Where in the Qt-Folder can I find the MaintenanceTool.exe? Or is it in a seperate folder?
Nevermind, problem solved. Thanks for the immediate response. You really saved me.

I found MaintenanceTool.exe installed in
C:\Qt. I didn't know it existed until I found this bug report via https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-1125?jql=text ~ "qt creator install can't add kit" while beginning to create my own report.
It would be helpful and reduce a lot of confusion if a Start Menu link to this tool was created adjacent to Qt Creator. (I suggest a name like
Qt Update Tool)
Hi and welcome to devnet forum
This is only a user's forum. Nobody is monitring for bug reports and implementation suggestions. You would need to make an input to JIRA which is the offical bug tracker for Qt and all tools. You may use your account credentials also there.

Today, we were introduced to the programming environment of which we will be using to create our apps. Due to previously using java in processing to create our interactive piece, I feel my programming knowledge has advanced. It was important to initially understand the similarities and differences between java and swift programming languages. Using the 'playground' feature in Xcode, we were able to experiment with swift and see the results immediately. A main difference was the use of ';' at the end of each line of code, also declaring constants and variables, and using basic conditional statements, and for loops seemed to be simpler. Here is an example:
Constants are declared with the
let keyword and variables with the
var keyword. The value of a constant cannot be changed once it is set, whereas a variable can be set to a different value in the future.
A feature that is new in Swift is optionals, which handle the absence of a value. 'Optionals are an example of the fact that Swift is a type safe language. Swift helps you to be clear about the types of values your code can work with' (iOS Developer Library).
? = optional values
! = unwrap values
: = is of type
Here is an example of creating a class using swift, in this example I have created the blueprint for a person, consisting of variables: their name and age and optional gender.
It was important to learn the basic switch from java to swift and I think this workshop was beneficial. Understanding these basic features are essential in order for me to progress my xcode and swift knowledge further in order to create a successful ios application. From this, in each workshop we will be developing mini apps, in order to progress knowledge and advance our skills in order to be able to successfully make the app for Salisbury Cathedral.

I will freely admit that my ongoing battle with Crohn's Disease is wearing on me, but something amazing happened today. I woke up with a song in my mind. "How can I keep from singing Your praise!" A great song by Chris Tomlin.
I settled in for my morning worship time and read part of Psalm 119 an identified with David as he cried out to God to deliver him from the evil that surrounded him. I prayed again that God would be in charge of my battle with Crohn's and that He would give me peace.
As I often do, I put on some uplifting music while I started on waffles and home made strawberry sauce for breakfast. Karl came out to the kitchen and wondered why I was playing an old CD. Evidently the box that arrived yesterday was the new CD by Steve Green that he ordered for me, but I had mistaken it for something else. He opened it up and got it going in my CD player. One of the songs? "How can I keep from singing Your praise." It gets even better. The lyrics were meant for me.
I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give
This was no coincidence. This was God's signature on my day, giving me peace in this battle – a peace that only God can give.

The U-shaped corridor (U字形廊下 U jikei rōka )[1][2] is an area of the Spencer Mansion.
A large frame has been smashed in the northeast corner, with the picture inside removed. Opposite the door to the pillar corridor, an expensive plate has been knocked off of a cabinet and smashed on the floor.
In both the original and the remake (on any difficulty higher than Easy), two zombies will appear in this corridor. Upon returning here from the Dormitory, a Hunter will be found instead.
To enter the pillar corridor and armor room, the player must use the Armor Key.
Player can find a wooden mount on one of the cabinets, near the east staircase door entry.

CSS3 should be the first priority for web designers to learn in order to get in touch with the fancy website layouts. I've previously shared complete CSS tutorials with you and also I shared some drop down menus in CSS3. However, now this is time for taking some steps to learn the latest properties included in CSS. So we can learn as many properties as we want, there is no limit for this. In today's video tutorial, you'll learn how to use the column property in CSS. Here is a video tutorial in which you can easily learn this thing in Urdu language and also in Hindi.
Let's start watching the video first and then I'll explain it further.
So having watched the video you've come to know about this new property in CSS, however, columns are mostly used in newspapers and books. so you may have seen them in books or magazines. But here in websites we used to create columns in HTML div tags, but now you don't need that old traditional practice, you can now create columns by just using CSS property. Here is the syntax of using this property in web pages.
<style type="text/css">
the above one is the simple syntax of using columns in a web page or separating the content into columns in CSS. However, you can also add more attributes of column property itself, observe below examples:
<style type="text/css">
column-rule:5px solid green;
-webkit-column-rule:5px solid green;
-moz-column-rule:5px solid green;
In the above example we used the rule for the column which adds a border between columns, you can increase the column values from 3 to any value you want for example 2, 5, 8 , 10 etc. And the column-gap property is for creating the gap between two columns or the specified columns. And keep in mind that the -webkit- extra attribute is used for displaying the property in chrome browser and the -moz- is for Mozila firefox, because this property is not supported directly by all major browsers, so you nee do add the attributes for displaying it by your choice.
Share your thoughts in comment section about this great property and also share this post with all of your friends.

After an inspirational two days in Toulouse and a desire to implement lasting change in my organisation, I have been given the support and permission to start a design thinking process for how we communicate across our Multi-Academy Trust (MAT).
As our MAT grows towards 20 schools we will need to be able to communicate effectively across all schools and via the central team that I work in. It feels like just adding more email accounts would not be the solution, so what is? Far be it for me to answer that question, we have many talented people across our organisation so I hope to facilitate their ideas through a design thinking process.
Create the project team
We need to create a project team who will begin this journey that I hope will embed across the entire MAT. It needs to be:
- Representative of the entire organisation
- Keen to be part of a process of innovation
The team will need to understand that their daily job descriptions are left at the door for this process
"Innovation does not respect departmental boundaries" McIntosh, Ewan. How to Come Up with Great Ideas. Edinburgh: NoTosh, 2014. Print.
I was going to send an email but my CEO made an astute observation and suggestion. If we are looking for innovative ways to communicate effectively then maybe the recruitment should be communicated in an interesting way… tous chez!
Lets design think this with 100 ideas in 10 minutes:
- email with a long explanation of the project
- email a video of me talking about the project
- email a poster about the project
- put up a poster in the office
- fly a plane with a banner over the school
- have a treasure hunt and project team is the ones who complete it first
- send a word by email each day to show poor communication
- create a video via a QR code
- send everyone a copy of Ewan's book with a note inside
- pin up paper with little tear off slips like you had a uni to get a room-mate
- Have a person with a "golf sale" sign while I sit in an office waiting for people to come and have a look
- buy advertising on TV during Gogglebox
- create a radio advert to broadcast
- set off the fire alarm and stand in the playground with a loud-hailer to inform everyone of the project
- send a survey where people assess which role they fulfil in a team, then pick the right mixture.
- Put numbers underneath everyone's desk and randomly select people to join the team
- Set off carrier pigeons from Cornwall with a message inviting colleagues to join the team
- Use the force to make them want to join the team "this is not the method of communication you are looking for"
- Offer cake and tea in a meeting room and then announce my project
- Send a Google form around where people can
- watch a video
- identify their role in a team
- express an interest in getting involved
- Have a meeting (you can tell I am running out of ideas…and ten minutes is up!)
I have demonstrated why one needs a project team to power the ideas along and lead to innovative change. Now to get one…
After various attempts at making a video, animated gifs and other media I decided that we all communicate best over an impromptu piece of cake. Consequently I am going to lay on cake and that will lure people to my invitation to get involved:
First question… Why do we need to communicate any differently?

Messaging issues —Government, Opposition
In Senate, Foreign Affairs Minister Dennis Moses is known as the most reserved, brief on statement, low on profile. His recent trip with the Prime Minister, however, appeared to have had some impact.
"You were missed," Labour Minister Jennifer Baptiste-Primus greeted Moses at Tuesday's Senate sitting. Moses then proceeded on a round of "hellos," holding court. Loquacious, laughing and loud. Even Works Minister Rohan Sinanan's traditional East Indian wear couldn't distract from the din.
"Rohan the Rajah!" UNC Senator Kadijah Ameen exclaimed. Their Lower House colleagues had had similar exchanges at Monday's sitting.
"We get invited to Lakshmi School (Indian Arrival Day) celebrations—you invited?" PNM's Terrence Deyalsingh greeted Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar. "Is dat Pundit-Ji?" she countered on his outfit "…You know white is for funerals?"
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, however, had no such fashion faux pas opportunities. At Tuesday's media briefing on his overseas mission, Rowley said: "I came in late, went to bed at 1 am and was up at 3 am.
So I've not been invited to nuthin.'"
Rowley returned with a suitcase full of announcements which can potentially supplement Government's political stocks once jobs and other opportunities materialise in "weeks and months" ahead (he projected).
Plans stated on the OPM's website are pointedly prefaced with "expected outcome" (sic) that China will "consider" (sic). Actual concrete returns remain to be seen—including what rolls over into PNM's 2020 manifesto. Chinese assistance is listed for practically all Government's current plans from business "hardware" and housing to hospital unit and hotel construction. Deepened T&T/China links place T&T on par with regional neighbours also using Chinese help.
If all fulfilled, China could have a huge stake in local development in a country of significant hemispheric stature. How that impacts on complementing or detracting from the local business sector—and on the global geo-political landscape—remains ahead.
Government's repeatedly stressed Public-Private Partnership themes and there'd been projections of increased opportunities from some plans for which Chinese help is now being sought.
Rowley's admission that only one local group was interested in Sandals' development may signal continuing low local investor confidence. One of the contributors to that—crime—must particularly be tackled more aggressively with expected foreign investment, especially following attacks on Chinese nationals. After the rarified air of liaising with overseas leaders and being detached from T&T ground reality, it remains to unfold how Rowley views Government's messaging in his absence and how his own mission report's received. Both acting PM Colm Imbert and Rowley on return, referred queries on the proposed Chinese industrial estate to Trade, yet to detail what that "plan" is.
Rowley's announcements stand to enhance Government's Platform Positive thrust started in the election lead-up period, an effort clearly geared to transform Government's mid-term image from trough level to optimistic priming point. Still, the much-touted economic turnaround is yet to be felt beyond PNM boasts when a tin of sardine varies between $8/$9.85, some booksellers are phasing out magazine sales (from this month) and job cuts still occur—and likely will since Education expects more UTT programme contractions in the 2018-19 term.
If turnaround messaging's been weak, Finance's communication on its property valuation drive—started surreptitiously—has been as weak as its 2017 property tax push and was "outed" via rumour. For which Finance, which made no timely announcement, is responsible. However, Rowley's returned to certain political pluses—as his smile acknowledged when asked about the Persad-Bissessar/Sat Maharaj tiff. Indian Arrival Day 2018 met the Indo-TT based Opposition UNC challenged with potential for fragmentation from two community old guard figures: the legendary Panday name and Maharaj.
Maharaj's criticism of Persad- Bissessar's non-sectarian stance on his hijab issues, however, stand to help her national stocks, which would be UNC's primary concern (well beyond Imam Rasheed Karim's presence on UNC's executive). Wednesday's celebrations saw both answering queries with politically correct, though decidedly mixed messages for supporters not to be swayed.
In an increasingly active political landscape, the messages from Government and Opposition will sharpen. How much acceptance will come from J Public is the question.

I have a confession to make, you guys. I work a lot and I'm also a serial procrastinator. It's probably one of the reasons that I've been married for 3 years and up until recently, I hadn't printed a single photo of my wedding for my own home. I don't know how or why, it just hadn't happened.
That's why, when PrintWild.co.za contacted me via Instagram and wanted to give me a little gift, I couldn't say no.
(Actually, the lovely folks from PrintWild contacted me via Pixel and Pip's Instagram account! Who would've thought the little rascals would grab so much attention.)
Like I said, I couldn't resist when PrintWild sent through a little gift that meant I could print photos for my home. I had a choice of their products and I grabbed the opportunity to print a few Faceblocks. I was able to print 7 Faceblocks in fact and I love them.
What are PrintWild Faceblocks?
Faceblocks are the perfect way to bring your Instagram photos to life. I love Instagram and I store most of the images I want to keep as memories on my profile. Faceblocks are 15cm x 15cm in size so they're perfect for multiple prints.
According to PrintWild, Faceblocks are "printed onto high-quality fine art matte paper and then mounted on shutterply board for a striking effect. They are delivered ready-to-mount with an industrial Velcro mounting system and are best displayed in batches."
The PrintWild Process
The PrintWild process is super simple and easy to follow once you've chosen your photos. This was the hardest part for me as I had so many I wanted to have in my home. I chose the 7 photos above, a mix of my pets, my family, photos of myself and Daniel, and of course, snaps from our wedding.
The best thing about this process is that PrintWild keeps you in the loop every step of the way via email.
Step 1: Once you've chosen your photos and uploaded them to PrintWild, the team of photographers on their staff will double check each image and ensure that the quality will be the best it can be.
Step 2: Now that your photos have been uploaded and checked by the professionals, they're then ready for print.
Step 3: Photos have been printed! Now that your images are no longer simply digital, the printed version of each photo will be double checked for quality purposes.
Step 4: Double checked, wrapped up, and ready to go, the photos from your order are now waiting to be picked up for delivery. This email is an exciting one to receive!
Step 5: Last, but definitely not least, you'll receive a tracking number and be informed about which courier you can look out for. A couple of days later, the order arrives and it's awesome.

|Factors Affecting CNS Oxygen Toxicity in Humans
|Natoli, M; Vann, RD
|The onset time of central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity symptoms is reduced by elevated oxygen partial pressure, inspired CO2, immersion, and work. This project investigated the effects of these factors in humans on ventilatory response to CO2, brain cortical oxygenation, and the occurrence of symptoms of CNS oxygen toxicity. Relative changes in cerebral oxygenation from a baseline were measured by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Ventilatory response was measured during CO2 rebreathing in a computer- controlled, closed-circuit breathing apparatus. The results of this study suggest that inspired C02 is a potent instigator of CNS oxygen toxicity, more potent than oxygen alone or in combination with immersion and work. Thirty-three of the 35 CNS oxygen toxicity symptoms reported, including a convulsion, involved breathing inspired C02 at a Pio2 of 2.80 ATA. Most (31) symptoms were reported while the inspired CO2 was 7.0% -7.5%. Hyperoxia, Pio2= 1.75 or 2.80 ATA, leads to increased cerebrovascular oxygenation despite vasoconstriction. Inspired CO2 reversed vasoconstriction and increasing cerebral oxygenation further. Subjects with symptoms consistent with oxygen toxicity did not show a CO2-induced vasoconstrictive reversal despite increased cerebral oxygenation. This result is contrary to previous findings (Lambertsen 1955) where inspired C02 caused symptoms of CNS oxygen toxicity while increasing cerebral blood flow and increasing cerebral oxygenation. This disparity is most likely due to the difference in the cerebral oxygenation measurements made. NIRS measures regional physiology while cerebral blood flow and blood sampling measurements are global physiological measurements. Ventilatory response to CO2 did not correlate well with symptom incidence but the subject who convulsed had the lowest ventilatory response to CO2 with a Pio2 of 0.21 ATA. The subject who convulsed also had the largest increase in cytochrome a,a3 oxidation with inspired Cog. The combination of the low ventilatory response to CO2 with increased cerebral oxygenation resulting in an oxygen seizure supports the hypothesis that susceptibility to CNS oxygen toxicity may be related to CO2 retention as a result of depressed ventilatory response to CO2 (Lanphier 1975). Facial immersion lead to increased cerebrovascular blood volume and cytochrome a,a3 oxidation at both 0.21 and 2.80 ATA Pio2 and with both positive and negative static lung loads.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
Matt Barnes has an ax to grind with his ex ... and this time it doesn't have anything to do with Derek Fisher.
The Sacramento Kings' forward took to his Instagram account Thursday to air out Gloria Govan over her allegedly prohibiting him from seeing their two sons.
Hmm ...
This video followed a previous IG in which Barnes made it clear that he was talking about Govan, even citing an unpaid invoice as the reason why she's preventing him from seeing their children.
Matt deleted the post, but not before the Internet grabbed that screen shot.
That #DopeMom hash tag, though ... ouch.
So, what did Gloria have to say about all the slander from her ex?
Well, she took to her own IG account Friday to blast Matt, saying he just saw their kids Thursday and that he's lying.
Wow. Shots fired, Barnes down?
The last time these exes were beefing, Barnes had put hands on his former teammate, Gloria's boyfriend, Fisher.

The resurrected LDV brand has appointed Bill Laidlaw as dealer development manager in line with its plans for expansion.
The brand was relaunched in 2016 following Chinese giant SAIC's acquisition of LDV in 2016.
The company is now hoping to grow its UK dealer network to a total of 60 over the next two years, spearheaded by Laidlaw.
With more than 30 years' experience in the automotive industry, he joins from Bristol Street Motors in Stoke where he was the Ford commercial and business manager and was previously sales manager for new commercial vehicles at the Van Centre, Richmond.
Laidlaw commented: "I'm excited to join the LDV team and begin working with its extensive network of dealers throughout the UK. I've kept an eye on the brand since it was relaunched in 2016 and have been impressed by the demand it has generated. As a commercial vehicle it ticks all the right boxes and is something of an iconic brand amongst 21st century drivers.
"One thing all LDV dealers have in common is their willingness to go the extra mile to keep a vehicle's downtime to a minimum. Round-the-clock after care service and a five year warranty make LDV the perfect choice for anyone who wants a high quality commercial vehicle that offers great value for money."

If the professional world had its way, it would probably have the aging in the workforce deleted - the full time, the part time, and the just in time. Just as black was once considered a sign of inferiority in human beings, the features of human aging are too often perceived as negatives.
What we Baby Boomers, along with members of the Silent Generations who are still out there hustling, need is our own version of Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln Daniel Day-Lewis depicts in the film "Lincoln" is an extremely pragmatic politico who knew how to get things done. To have the institution of slavery abolished he lied, piled on patronage jobs to the extent that it could have been interpreted as buying votes, and allowed thousands of soldiers to die in a battle which could have been prevented. But slavery was abolished.
"Not looking old" won't get anyone off the hook in being discriminated against. Old is old in America. This is a nation of a binary attitude toward age. Either one is young or one is old.
When the times demand, the leader emerges. We will get our leader, just as women have over and over again.

Quiz Show (1994)
It's the late '50s and geeky Herb Stempel (John Turturro) is on a winning streak with popular quiz show Twenty One. Quick rundown of the show: There are two contestants, one returning champ and one unlucky opponent. They meet briefly with host Jack Barry (Christopher McDonald) at the start of the show before being separated and sent to their own hot 'n' sweaty isolation booths. During play neither contestant can hear the opposition nor see their total points. Barry presents the category for the round and each player takes turns answering questions from that category. They may choose any point value from 1-11 and the first to twenty-one wins. It should also be noted that the questions, when not in play, are kept in a secure bank vault.
But when ol' Herbie stops bringing in the ratings, producers Dan Enright (David Paymer) and Albert Freedman (Hank Azaria) search for a new champ. New contestant: earnest lookin' college professor Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes) son of Mark Van Doren (Paul Scofield) a renowned poet. To ensure the smooth departure of Herbert and the big arrival of Charles, they ask Herbert to take a dive. Not just take a dive, but fail miserably and embarrassingly. Q: Academy Award winner for Best Picture 1955? A: On the Waterfront, Herb must reply – even though Marty is one of his favorite movies. Why would asking Herbert to lose of his own accord even be applicable? Oh wait, turns out those questions aren't quite so sacred as the public thought and turns out that Stempel has been fed the answers all along. He reluctantly agrees to bow out, but only if Enright will extend further television opportunities outside of the quiz show.
They try to offer the same gig to Charles… but this too-good-to-be-true hero has a conscience, darn it. However, regardless to Charles' initial aversion to cheating, they plant a question that Charles already knew the answer to. And he knew that they knew that he knew the answer. It's a lot harder to exercise integrity on National TV, eh? He answers correctly. The new champ has been named and Charlie reaches stardom in the blink of an eye. The public adore this squeaky clean, ideal, all-American man. Herb disappears into the void of obscurity. Somewhere between wishing for a new car, wanting to getting his teeth capped (he probably should have taken care of that one), and hoping that Enright would hold tight on his end of the deal he should have realized it wasn't the greatest idea to bet his money away. Complaining to your former boss will only get you so far. No one cares about Herb Stempel anyway, he's old news.
Then Dick Goodwin (Rob Morrow), a young but talented lawyer, comes along. After hearing rumors of rigged game shows, he opens an investigation of Twenty One. He meets with Stempel, he meets with NBC producers, he develops a friendship with Van Doren. Turns out he's stumbled on dynamite.
I totally dig this kind of stuff. I feel about this the same way that I feel about Shattered Glass. It doesn't just document an interesting scandal, it captures a time in history. "It's television." The controversy was certainly enough to keep our attention but director Robert Redford took it a step further and showed us a life. It delves into Van Doren's relationship with his father (ahh, Paul Scofield!) as well as interesting points on Jew/Gentile winners and losers.
Quiz Show was nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. Here are what make it the bee's knees: The acting is spectacular. Hank Azaria and David Paymer are my two particular favorite performances but the selling ticket is Paul Scofield, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Ralph Fiennes should also be credited who managed to embody this character with style, likeability, and emotional depth. Also, have you ever seen so many cameos? Martin Scorcese? Barry Levinson? Douglas McGrath? Even if the acting wasn't solid, this sharp script could make Megan Fox seem almost credible. Lastly, you can almost feel Robert Redford walking through the set. He leaves his mark in the most positive light. It's a film that wouldn't be the same without his magical touch. The only negative thing I have to say is perhaps geared towards its long running time.
It's thought provoking and intelligent – a must see. 9/10
please, don't shoot me
Should you happen to read this post and the thought crosses your mind that someone who has not seen these movies is obviously under-qualified to write a movie blog… keep in mind that I'm only 18-years-old. I've still got time. This whole list thing is all very embarrassing, so give me kudos for admitting my shortcomings to the world. It goes something like this:
Movies I haven't seen (but should have)
This would be higher on the list, but I have seen a LOT of this movie. The problem being, I can't remember if it was Alien or Aliens… all I remember is Sigourney Weaver, violence, and aliens. Which is basically common knowledge. So I just need to sit down and watch the whole thing.
A bank robbing couple? I'm there! Why haven't I seen this movie again?
Despite my interest in Kevin Spacey, no dice. I haven't seen this one either. Though, I must add, my interest in this film grew after I moved to Tahiti, so I haven't really had a chance to see it. See, now I'm making you feel pity, rather than disgust.
I've seen….. roughly 80% of James Stewart's movies. Just not this one. Ironically enough, I became more interested in seeing this after watching Donnie Darko. You know, giant rabbits?
Basically the same thing as above. I'm a hard core Cary Grant fan since birth, but I've never seen this one.
Kevin Spacey. Russell Crowe. Guy Pearce. David Straithairn. Why haven't I seen this yet?
I really haven't seen that many Jeff Bridges movies, to be honest (and embarrass myself further) so I'm not sure why I'm choosing this one as the "one to see" but I've always had this off-hand interest in "The Dude."
Despite my love for C.S. Lewis and Anthony Hopkins…
22. Waiting for Guffman (1996)
Oh have I heard so much about this movie. It's Christopher Guest, after all, that can mean nothing but good. It's my kind of movie, and seems like my kind of humor. I can't wait to see it one of these days.
I've been dying to see this movie ever since it was released. We even rented it, but for some reason I wasn't able to watch, so my mom saw it by herself. She raves about it, and I'm still dying to see it.
20. Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
Gregory Peck, how I love you. I can't believe I haven't seen this movie of yours.
I remember watching the Oscars when Spirited Away won Best Animated feature. I thought, (being eleven) what the heck IS that? Since then, I've heard nothing but critical acclaim and I am now very anxious to cross this off my list.
18. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
Obi-Wan Kenobi's Best Actor win (classic film fans will hate me for saying that, ha) plus Director, Picture, and Screenplay wins… I should probably see this movie one of these days. It's a favorite of my parents.
Ever since I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the first time I've been in love with Paul Newman. I'm pretty far behind on his filmography and this is the first on my list to see. Plus I dig the poster.
I grew up with Charlie Chaplin, and Modern Times is one of my all-time favs. I've yet to see this classic, though.
These are getting kind of repetetive aren't they? Christopher Walken's Oscar winning performance, Meryl Streep's first nomination and Best Picture winner deserves (more likely than not) SEVERAL viewings, and I haven't even seen it once? WTF?
My mom has raved about this movie, and I love me some Bogart. Since its recent DVD release, hopefully I can check it off soon.
Yeah… like I said. Don't shoot me. I know this is an excellent movie, I've seen several scenes in fact. I know I should see this movie pronto.
Honestly, I may have heard of this movie ages ago but I didn't REALLY know about it until just a few years ago. My interest piqued when I went through my Stanley Kubrick obsession phase and read absolutely anything I could get my hands on about him.
Meryl Streep. Robert Redford. In the same movie. I promise, I've seen SOME movies.
The ultimate Woody Allen. Ranked #4 in AFI's 100 Laughs series. Won the Oscar for Best Picture, Director, Actress, and Screenplay. This is a bad caption.
In case I haven't made this clear, Meryl Streep is my favorite modern actress. Someday I'll do a post especially for her because I just love her so (and I'm still pulling for another Oscar!) Sophie's Choice won Meryl her Best Actress Academy Award and is, perhaps, her best film to date. Or so I'm told.
Seriously? I haven't seen DIE HARD? Yeah, I know. I suck. I lurve Alan Rickman too, so it's really a shame I haven't seen it.
"Mrs. Robinson you're trying to seduce me… aren't you?" Basically I already love this movie. And I knoow I love Dustin Hoffman. But, all I really know of it is Anne Bancroft's sexy legs.
6. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
Jack Nicholson in a mental institution? 1 of 3 movies to take home the big five Oscars? Man, I gotta get me some of this action.
One of Johnny Depp's billions with Tim Burton. Yeah, I can't believe I haven't seen this one either. It's totally my kind of movie.
4. The French Connection (1971)
The most famous chase scene of all-time. One of my favorite actors, Gene Hackman. Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, and Actor winner. I cannot describe the anticipation I have to one day see this movie.
3. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Another Hopkins. And (like Cuckoo) 1 of 3 to win the big five Oscars. (In case you're wondering, the other is It Happened One Night. I've seen that one!)
2. Citizen Kane (1941)
Wow, this is really getting embarrassing now. I'm pretty sure I've previously lied to people about this one. See, my family and I were going through the AFI 100 movies list and we just… didn't make it that high! I've sort of had this two year hiatus of serious movie-watching through this whole Tahiti excursion, and seeing as I don't have as much access to what I want, this one has had to wait.
1. The Godfather (1971)
It's a sin, I know, not to have seen this movie. Forgive me. I want nothing more than to repent, and quickly.
Yeah. I know I suck. There are many more great movies I haven't seen (I won't name them, however, or NO ONE will read this blog!) but these are just the ones that I, personally, can't believe I haven't seen. Now go ahead. You may mock me all you want.

Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz opens Newham Word Festival
Newham is no ordinary London borough. It's the capital's youngest, its most diverse, and a place known for innovation and energy. So any literary festival run in the area should have a few surprises up its sleeve too.
Newham Word Festival's answer to this brief is pretty spot on. The fortnight-long celebration encompasses both international best-selling authors and local writers covering their own neighbourhoods. It centres Newham's home-grown talent but also has the star power to attract bookworms from across London. And, while it includes events for adults, the programme puts families and young people front and centre.
At the launch party in the Good Hotel, organiser Ben O'Donnell from Discover explained, "It's really important that we reach every community group, provide something in the borough for everyone in the borough." What are his programme highlights? "Having Malorie Blackman and Angie Thomas on stage together is just brilliant. I couldn't have dreamt of a better event for local young people."
Equally, though, he's thrilled by initiatives like the Big 'Em Up Showcase at Britannia Village Hall, "The young people have produced their own night. They've got two dance troupes, three or four spoken word artists, and some musicians. And they've done that off their own bat. They've put together something that is exactly what they want, and that is absolutely what we're trying to achieve."
To an intimate crowd of local authors, artists, and stakeholders, the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz, introduced the event, saying, "[As a child,] I had my head in a book and it enabled me to lose myself and imagine the most amazing things." Next, spoken word poet Neimo Askar performed pieces that ranged in topic from the pressures she's experienced to 'pray away' her deafness, to her mother's admiration for Elvis Presley. Moving yet witty and with a light touch, her works set the tone for a fortnight of gentle revelations.
So what is there to look forward to? Well, down in the Royal Docks, we're envious of the children who're attending this afternoon of riotous interactive comedy and games with Julian Clary and David Roberts. In Forest Gate, there's an evening of Asian Noir, the new wave of crime fiction taking the genre by storm. As well as Malorie Blackman and Angie Thomas in conversation, you can catch big-name children's poet Michael Rosen.
Open mic nights, drink and draw evenings, storytelling walks, there really is something for everyone here.
Check out the Newham Word Festival line-up, or read up on the #BecauseWe'veRead and Julian Clary events.

A mixed bag of inspiration here: garden gate, unkempt vines, baroque embellishment. Each enthusiastic flourish is hand fabricated of sterling silver, both the scrolling design and the elongated ear wire in the back. It starts with a couple of gauges of silver wire, the ends melted and curled, then carefully nested together just right to become a tumbling viney wave. Imperfect but lively, they also slightly suggest the wings of an old world angel.
From top to bottom, these are about 1 1/2″ in length. The curve of the flourish extends from the ear lobe about 1/2″. The last photo of the earrings being worn shows my working sample pair, the listed pair for sale are new and unworn, limited edition.

Improved early detection and treatment of our most prevalent cancers has resulted in Australia having some of the highest cancer survival rates in the world, and along with this, a growing number of cancer survivors. However, this increased survival is also associated with the presence and persistence of treatment-related side-effects, as well as increased risk for cancer recurrence and for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and functional decline.
A strong evidence base attests to the ability of regular physical activity, a healthy diet and weight control to reduce both the short- and longer-term adverse effects of cancer treatment. However, lifestyle interventions are not incorporated into routine cancer care. It is now time for researchers to work with cancer program and policy partners to translate the evidence for lifestyle interventions in cancer survivors into practice.
The aim of this project is to evaluate the integration of an evidence-based, broad-reach (telephone-delivered) lifestyle intervention for cancer survivors, the Healthy Living after Cancer program, into the Helpline service delivery model offered by the Cancer Councils. The Helplines currently provide information and support based on consumer-initiated calls, but not a structured program of proactive out-calls to support lifestyle changes among cancer survivors, as proposed here.
The overarching goal is for the service to be systematically integrated into survivorship care. Primary outcomes are related to the program implementation: adoption, reach, retention, fidelity of program implementation and costs. Secondary outcomes are related to patient reported physical activity and dietary behaviour change, weight and quality of life.
The project will be conducted over five years in three phases.
Phase 1: Knowledge Transfer and Capacity Building (Year 1)
Phase 2: Implementation and Evaluation of the Healthy Living after Cancer program (Year 2-5)
Phase 3: Communication of Healthy Living after Cancer Program Outcomes and Development of Strategies for Sustained Funding (Year 4-5)
