Commentary: Primary Transcripts of microRNAs Encode Regulatory Peptides

A commentary on
Primary Transcripts of microRNAs Encode Regulatory Peptides

by Lauressergues, D., Couzigou, J. M., Clemente, H. S., Martinez, Y., Dunand, C., Becard, G., et al. (2015). Nature 520, 90–93. doi: 10.1038/nature14346

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), were assumed to be incapable of encoding proteins (Mercer et al., 2009; Rogers and Chen, 2013; Patil et al., 2014). miRNAs that derived from the primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) play crucial roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation by either repressing translation or guiding the degradation of complementary mRNA targets (Rogers and Chen, 2013). Transcriptome and high-throughput sequencing analyses have revealed a large number of ncRNAs in various organisms (Kapusta and Feschotte, 2014). It was found that ncRNAs were implicated in a variety of biological processes, including plant growth and development, and responses to environmental stresses (Mercer et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2013; Kapusta and Feschotte, 2014).

Increasing evidence from both plants and animals has revealed that previously annotated lncRNAs have the capacity to encode small peptides (Ruiz-Orera et al., 2014; Lauressergues et al., 2015). In mammals, myoregulin (MLN), a lncRNA-encoded micropeptide, was reported to function in controlling muscle performance (Anderson et al., 2015). More specifically, MLN finely regulated calcium (Ca2+) uptake through physical interaction with sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA). The removal of MLN in mice resulted in enhanced Ca2+ handling and improved exercise performance (Anderson et al., 2015). A second lncRNA-encoded peptide, termed dwarf open reading frame (DWORF), has been shown to enhance SERCA activity and Ca2+ load by displacing the SERCA inhibitors and mitigating their inhibitory activity (Nelson et al., 2016). Meanwhile, in plants ~30,000 ncRNAs have been identified with over 1700 transcripts designated as ncRNAs in Arabidopsis alone (Liu et al., 2015). The functionally characterized plant lncRNA-encoded peptides comprise ENOD40 (Early nodulin 40) that is required for plant-bacteria symbiotic interaction, IPS1 (Induced by phosphate starvation1) that is implicated in phosphate uptake, LDMAR (Long-day-specific male-fertility-associated RNA) that controls photoperiod-sensitive male sterility, and COOLAIR and COLDAIR that influence Arabidopsis flowering time by affecting FLC transcription (Zhang et al., 2013).

Pri-miRNAs have been recently reported to harbor short open reading frames (ORFs) that encode regulatory peptides, termed miRNA-encoded peptides (miPEPs), indicating that pri-miRNAs possess both protein-coding and non-coding roles (Lauressergues et al., 2015). The native expression of miPEPs could be detected using specific antibodies, and their expression patterns are the same as those of their corresponding miRNAs. Overexpression or exogenous application of two miPEPs, miPEP171b from Medicago truncatula and miPEP165a from Arabidopsis, enhanced the expression of their corresponding miRNAs, thereby potentiating the suppression of target genes involved in root development (Lauressergues et al., 2015). Collectively, this study revealed that miPEPs are functional peptides that could promote the accumulation of their associated pri-miRNAs and ultimately down-regulate target genes.

The identification of miPEPs is in line with increasing evidence that a large number of micropeptides were found to be encoded by previously unannotated short ORFs in lncRNAs (Ruiz-Orera et al., 2014; Lauressergues et al., 2015). An immediate question in future is to determine whether miPEPs exist in other organisms, and if so, how many of these miPEPs have a biological function? This further raises another question that with what approaches to detect and validate potential miPEPs. The existence of endogenous miPEPs have been experimentally demonstrated using immunoblot, GUS reporter analysis and overexpression studies for miPEP171b and miPEP165a (Lauressergues et al., 2015). The translation of pri-miR171b and pri-miR165a were also supported by ribosome profiling (Juntawong et al., 2014) although miPEP171b and miPEP165a have not been detected by mass spectrometry (Baerenfaller et al., 2008; Castellana et al., 2008). The identification of miPEPs by using computational prediction alone is challenging (Waterhouse and Hellens, 2015). As have been shown for the discovery of small ORFs (smORF)-encoded peptides (Saghatelian and Couso, 2015), a combination of approaches including high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), ribosome profiling, proteomics and bioinformatic is also required for identification of putative miPEPs (Aspden et al., 2014; Juntawong et al., 2014; Prabakaran et al., 2014).

A survey of fifty Arabidopsis pri-miRNAs revealed the presence of at least one putative smORF encoding a peptide in each sequence (Lauressergues et al., 2015). Further investigation of these putative miPEPs revealed that they did not share a common signature, suggesting that the regulatory activity of each putative miPEP is likely specific for their associated miRNA as have been experimentally shown for several miPEPs including miPEP171b and miPEP165a (Lauressergues et al., 2015). A key unanswered question will be how these different miPEPs perform their biological function, and whether the activation of pri-miRNA transcription is a prevalent mechanism for all miPEPs. The lncRNA-encoded micropeptides exert either inhibitory or stimulatory effects on their target genes in mammals (Anderson et al., 2015; Nelson et al., 2016). However, it remains unexplored whether miPEPs exert a negative effect on the expression of their associated miRNAs. Furthermore, it is intriguing to study whether any undiscovered components are involved in miPEP-mediated expression regulation, and whether any unknown means, which in turn modulate the positive effect of miPEPs.

As another aspect, miPEP synthesis and miRNA maturation occur in two physically distinct domains of pri-miRNAs. However, it is unclear how pri-miRNAs simultaneously coordinate their coding and non-coding capacities on the fact that cytoplasmic translation of pri-miRNA and nuclear maturation of miRNAs concurred. Regarding the coding function of pri-miRNA, genome editing to obtain loss-of-function mutants, in addition to overexpression and exogenous application of synthetic peptides, is necessary to assess the function of miPEPs. It is known that many peptides, including CLE peptides, are subjected to post-translational modifications (Matsubayashi, 2011). However, whether miPEPs are post-translationally modified remains unclear. Additionally, considering their small size, it is of interest to investigate whether miPEPs are transported to mediate long distance signals similarly to that of those post-translationally modified peptides (Okamoto et al., 2013).

Because miPEPs specifically promote the transcription of their respective pri-miRNAs which result in down-regulation of target genes, they represent an efficient means for studying their corresponding miRNA families and improving yields in agronomical crops. Indeed, exogenous application of synthetic miPEP172c, which stimulates miR172c expression, eventually results in nodule formation in soybean (Couzigou et al., 2016). In this regard, miPEPs could be used as alternative tools to optimize agronomical traits of crops (Couzigou et al., 2015). However, one need aware that application of synthetic peptides in fields would be costly.

In conclusion, miPEPs identification highlights the dual function of pri-miRNAs which combine both protein-coding and non-coding capacities. Elucidating how miPEPs function will illuminate their important regulatory features and reveal an additional level of gene regulation.

5 bathroom gadgets you didn’t know you required

| Gadgets Now | Nov 12, 2017, 02.22PM IST
With emphasis on making your homes "smart", technology has literally invaded your personal spaces including the bedroom and bathroom. Yes, there are gadgets which you never thought but could actually be required in your bathroom. So, we decided to make a list of gadgets that could make your bathroom "smarter":

1) Electric toothbrush: For starters, the first thing you can get is an electric toothbrush because it is one of the easiest to get. They're common - or at least you've seen them in Hollywood movies - and are easy to use. You get toothbrushes with rechargeable batteries to avoid the hassle of replacing batteries time and again.

2) Waterproof Speakers: There's a hidden bathroom singer in most people - a place where you can sing without abandon. A right set of speakers could be the ideal addition for the closet singers. There are quite a few waterproof speakers available which help you avoid getting electrocuted and deal with other hazards. Get a wireless Bluetooth speaker as you won't have to worry about wires hanging and water being splashed here and there.

3) Motion activated soap dispenser:
Since you're stepping up your bathroom game, wouldn't it be great if you'd make everything automatic? Something as simple as a soap dispenser, keeping a motion activated dispenser will significantly reduce the spread of germs as there will be less of touching the dispenser directly.

4) Philips Sonicare HX8211/02 Airfloss: If you love flossing but hate doing it at the same time, it's time for you to get these Philips Airfloss. It does the same job but is faster and less tedious as it uses water instead of the string. All you have to do is fill the electric floss with water or mouthwash and put it in-between your teeth and activate to clean.

5) Hands-free blow-dryer mount: Yes, you read that right. We are aware how tiring it is to hold up the dryer and brush your hair at the same time while looking into the mirror. So, what you do is, buy one these mounts and place it anywhere its convenient for you and voila! you don't have a cramping arm anymore. The best thing is the dryer will even stick to a mirror so you don't have to worry about placement.

Should I get the Samsung Galaxy s7 or the Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge?

Disclaimer: I have already narrowed my options down to these two phones. I know plenty of people will tell me to get an iPhone, but they will fall on deaf ears, because I won't be considering a third option. Even if you are an iPhone user, I'd like to know which of THESE TWO phones I should buy, if you can help me.

First of all, my current provider is Verizon, but I will be switching to Sprint. I know Sprint's service isn't as good as Verizon's, but Sprint has a more affordable unlimited data plan (which is why I'm switching). If switching providers will hinder the performance of either of these phones, please let me know.

Also note that I will be streaming a fair amount of videos on my cell phone. I don't care much about the size of the screen, I'm just concerned that the smaller Galaxy s7's resolution will be poorer than the Galaxy s7 Edge's. However, if I can stream videos just as well on both phones, then I don't think the extra 0.4's of screen size is worth all of the extra money.

Another concern of mine is how the actual "Edge" of the phone performs. I have a friend who has a Samsung Galaxy s5 Edge, and she says that after having her phone for a while, the sensitivity of the edge of her phone decreased, so now it is difficult for her to use it. I don't know if they have fixed this problem by now, or not.
Also, I'm well aware that the s7 Edge is much more popular than the s7, so I am afraid that there will be a much more limited variety of s7 cases to choose from.

Which phone do you think I should buy?

  • Galaxy s7
    Vote A
  • Galaxy s7 Edge

I'm a GirlI'm a Guy

Most Helpful Girl

  • I had my galaxy 2 months if that and my screen went out. Had to ship it to Texas to Samsung to be replaced and that was hours of me on the phone with them and multiple wrong ups labels. Finally got it back and it randomly drops my service and I have to reboot. I also have Sprint and great service. My LG was 4 years old and great, I would not buy this Galaxy again if I could go back.

Most Helpful Guy

  • I'll start by telling you that there are 2 versions on the market. One has Exynos processor and the other one is Snapdragon. The Exynos is better.

    1) Both have the same display (SUPER AMOLED 1440 x 2560 pixels) BUT since the S7 is smaller, its screen is slightly sharper. But so slightly that you won't notice it.

    2) Not sure about the edge sensitivity, never owned one

    3) Both of these phones are equally popular and finding cases would be pretty easy. You can have a look on Amazon before you buy one.

    In conclusion those phones have the same specs, the only difference is the screen size and the edge. Since you dont mind the size, I would get the S7 and use the extra money on an accessory.

    • I heard that which processor is used depends on the region. I live in the U. S. by the way.

      I also thought the camera was the only thing the processors really affected.

Have an opinion?

What Girls Said 3

  • Why get a new phone whats wrong with the old one besides it's old?

    • The screen is shattered. Even if it was intact, it is an iPhone 4s, and only gets 3G data with no LTE, and it doesn't have the capacity to support the newest system updates.

      Believe me when I say it is outdated.

    • Then by all means get a new one that best fits your needs.

  • i've heard good things about the edge but haven't owned one

  • Get the edge

What Guys Said 2

  • Galaxy s7 Edge

  • Galaxy S7 Edge

    • Any reasons why?

    • It's better

    • Gee thanks for the help. Clearly you can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes writing at least an 8th grade level response.

Explore the first colonies of the ancient Greeks

Walking in Eastern Sicily

6 nights — from USD2390

Volcanos, Greek theaters, stark mountains, gentle seas, fresh-caught fish, heady rich wines – Sicily has it all. Encompassing the most variety of any of Italy’s regions, Sicily also evidences the most contradictions. There’s something not quite European in the air – perhaps born upon the sirocco that often blows across the land. Or maybe it’s the hint of Saracen pirate in the waiter at the cafe, the fisherman on the dock, the maid at the hotel. Whatever it is, you can’t fail to be allured by the charm of Italy’s most enchanting island.

Itinerary Outline

Here is an outline of a suggested daily itinerary. You can shorten or lengthen this tour to fit your travel dates. For further information, please request a detailed itinerary.

  • Day one: You start the tour with one night in Catania, where we provide detailed directions for a self-guided walking tour of the historic center.
  • Day two: After a transfer to Taormina, where you spend the next three nights, you have the option between a boat ride along the coast or a walk through the lush Alcantare River Valley. In the afternoon you enjoy a guided tour of Taormina’s Greek theater.
  • Day three: Weather permitting, you visit the volcanic island of Vulcano, legendary home to the Roman god of fire. Afterwards, you visit the nearby island of Lipari.
  • Day four: This morning’s walk takes you to Mt. Etna, Europe’s highest active volcano. In the afternoon, you explore some of the volcano’s isolated villages.
  • Day five: Moving further south brings you to the necropolis of Pantalica and Syracuse, where you walk among the archeological areas. You spend the next two nights in Syracuse.
  • Day six: Today you walk in the southernmost of all Italian reserves, the beautiful Vendicari nature reserve, a major resting place for migratory birds. Later, you visit the splendid baroque town of Noto.
  • Day seven: Depending on your flight schedule, there is free time to visit the rest of Syracuse, followed by an included transfer to Catania airport.

What’s Included

We suggest the following inclusions based on the proposed itinerary (above) and prices (below). Keep in mind that you can modify these as per your own preferences.

  • 6 nights accommodation with en-suite facilities

On Friday, when the first images Andrew Garfield as the new Spiderman, were released, the consensus, from Gawker to Buzzfeed, is that the rebooted super hero is super skinny. As a former, and possibly current "skinny guy" I'd like to offer the following defense:

Stop being mean to us!

Until very recently, I was what is known as a "skinny guy." My whole family is "skinny." You could say "slender" or "svelte," but apparently you don't like those rather complimentary terms. I mostly hear "skinny." Whatever. Fine. About three years ago, I noticed that, for the first time, I was putting on weight proportionate to what I was eating. I went from "skinny guy" to just "guy," or sometimes "guy with a little belly who needs to get his ass to the gym."

But before 2008, I was mad skinny. And I understand why women may consider this a negative:

  • we make unconvincing Santa Clauses

  • we are less intimidating than non-skinny people (caveman protection factor)

  • we are wily and hard to catch

  • our skinniness makes it look like we have abs when really we're just skinny, e.g. we are body-liars

  • we tend to be more snide, or sarcastic, than jolly

But there are positive things too:

  • we look hilarious when naked (so many pointy things!)

  • you will never lose change or jewelry in our folds

  • when we defend you from someone it's extra impressive

  • we tend to be excellent climbers

  • if there is ever an intergalactic war, we make harder targets (futuristic protection factor)

  • we know we're skinny, so we're going to try extra hard to make you like us for our personality, which, frankly is all that's going to matter when we've been dating for six years, and the sex is down to once a month, or whenever our alien overloads order us to procreate

Seriously, what's with all the skinny hate?

Ever dated a skinny guy? What were the pluses/minuses? Ever discriminated against a guy because of his weight?

Josephine Wilson wins Miles Franklin for Extinctions

Books, says Josephine Wilson, can be devastating. And that's why writers want their books to be read.

"They want someone to get them, you want to be got and got not just as a kind of 'oh, yeh, blah'. And that's the remarkable things when strangers read you and not just your husband."

Plenty more people are likely to read Wilson's books and particularly her second novel, Extinctions, after she was named winner of this year's Miles Franklin Literary Award on Thursday.

The prize, Australia's most significant literary award, is worth $60,000 to the winner plus a sharp fillip in sales. The four other shortlisted authors - Emily Maguire (An Isolated Incident), Mark O'Flynn (The Last Days of Ava Langdon), Ryan O'Neill (Their Brilliant Careers), Philip Salom (Waiting) - receive $5000.

Wilson continues the recent pattern set by authors such as Graeme Simsion, Maxine Beneba Clarke and Jane Harper of writers winning unpublished manuscript awards and going on to greater success. She won the inaugural Dorothy Hewett award for Extinctions in 2015.

"It is quite remarkable. I had no forward vision of this. I was extremely thrilled to be long-listed for the Miles Franklin," Wilson said. "I was even more stunned to be shortlisted. Now I've run out of verbs; I'd need to consult the thesaurus to come up with the correct one."

Extinctions is the scrupulously structured story of Frederick Lothian, an engineer specialising in concrete - "the J.D. Salinger of concrete" - who has moved into a "retirement village" after the death of his American wife. He has a fractious relationship with Caroline, their adopted, Indigenous daughter now living in London where she is curating an exhibition to be called "the drama of extinction", and a virtually non-existent one with his son Callum, who is in care after suffering a cataclysmic brain injury in a car crash. Then Jan, the old woman who lives next door, comes into his life and the tectonic plates of their lives start to shift.

The judges described Extinctions as "compassionate and unapologetically intelligent ... a meditation on survival: on what people carry, on how they cope, and on why they might, after so much putting their head in the sand, come to a decision to engage, and even change."

Wilson said creative ideas were not ethereal elements to be conjured out of thin air. "This is not autobiographical, but (the ideas) have to be something that matters and for me there was a kind of puzzle, a desire to write about the beginnings and end of life.

"I was at the time caught up in family and my father's very steady and quite difficult decline and then my mother. At the same time, my husband and I were going through the adoption of our second child. I had these two things - life and death - together. They seemed incommensurate at the time, but these are things that we all face."

Wilson was also trying to make sense of feelings around adoption and a certain period in Australia history. "And I really wanted to write about a family that is not just a biological family. To say that family and connections are beyond genetics and biology."

Extinctions is dotted with illustrations of buildings, bridges and extinct creatures and Wilson acknowledges the influence of German writer W.G. Sebald.

"I think we're in a period when books and writing and literature have to be open to extending themselves. Could a graphic novel win the Miles Franklin? I don't know, but this would be an interesting challenge for the idea of what is literary," she said. "For me the images were about just letting something resonate at a more metaphorical level."

Wilson lives in Perth where she teaches part-time at Curtin University, having also taught at Murdoch University and the University of Western Australia. She is on the board of Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. Her theatre piece, The Geography of Haunted Places, was performed around the country, and her first novel, Cusp, was published in 2005. Extinctions was written as part of her PhD, which she took because she wanted a permanent academic job. "But I haven't been able to because the tertiary sector is shrinking." Perhaps she won't need one now.

This story Josephine Wilson wins Miles Franklin for Extinctions first appeared on The Sydney Morning Herald.

Mai Endo I am not a feminist!

I am not a feminist - Wedding on the roof of the Goethe-Institut Tokyo
Wedding on the roof of the Goethe-Institut Tokyo: Mai Endo and her partner, the artist Goro Murayama, tied the knot in front of friends and the general public as part of the 30-minute performance I Am Not a Feminist at the 2017 Festival / Tokyo. | © Mai Endo

Japan is a country where it is difficult for a married person to be feminist. A civil marriage is bound up with various inequalities: for example; the spouses have to assume the same surname, have a mutual commitment to marital fidelity, and agree to a ban on remarriage. The reasons to marry are very individual, but the foggy field between marriage and the associated inequalities is a strain for many people.

Hello, I'm Mai Endo. I work as an actress and artist. I’m one of those who decided to marry. As an ironic comment on myself, we performed our wedding ceremony at the Goethe-Institut Tokyo under the title I Am Not a Feminist. It was also part of the Festival / Tokyo 17 programme. The ceremony took place before relatives, friends and the general public. We signed a self-composed marriage contract in front of these people.
It is enshrined in the Civil Code of Japan that a married couple must have the same surname (except for international marriages where double names are allowed: Article 750 of the Civil Code). More than 90 per cent of women change their surname. In addition, the married couple is obliged to live together (Article 752 of the Civil Code) and the mention of “infidelity as a reason for divorce” (Article 770) indicates the married couple’s obligation to mutual fidelity. Moreover, after divorce, women must observe a 100-day period before being allowed to enter into a new marriage (to exclude prior pregnancy / paternity: Article 733 of the Civil Code).

These regulations can be traced back to remnants of the Confucian family system, the so-called “IE system”, which gradually replaced the formerly matriarchal social structure in Japan in the fifth century and became more and more institutionalized. To this day, new patriarchal concepts are regularly devised to find plausible grounds for this long-obsolete system.

By the way, I have a quail. The quail is said to be the only animal successfully domesticated in Japan. It is kept both as a farm animal and a pet, and is a common motif in ancient Japanese paintings. I too have used it as a motif and made a music video called Quail Rap
It isn’t easy to keep a quail in a flat, because it does its business everywhere. It never thinks about going to the loo before having a walk around the flat, so you can only wipe everything up afterwards. It’s worst when it goes on the blankets! It flits amongst the furniture, so it’s hard to keep an eye on it. When I relax lying on a pillow, something sometimes sticks to me without me noticing it, something from behind. I think my inattention may someday put me in my grave!

As a result of poultry farming, the number of eggs laid by quails has increased massively and their instinct to hatch eggs disappeared. Without human help, breeding is therefore impossible. Suppose we release the quails from human custody: would there be a place where they could be themselves? Well, if, for instance, we threw our quail out of the house and left them to themselves, they would most likely at once become prey for cats. It’s worrying to observe that these animals, with the exception of naturally wild quail, cannot survive on their own.

The idea of “liberating yourself so as to be how you are” is purely human. The expression implies liberation from a restrictive situation. People can shout it out, defy the system with an iron will, build a DIY castle and assert their position.
For a quail, on the other hand, the choice of freedom means certain death. The quail lacks the means to reject the system. From the corrugated containerboard to the house, it was always its fate to end on the plate and today its life is subject to my mood. Whether it accepts or rejects its environment, it lives from one day to the next. I would be happy to be like the quail, which accepts its fate so calmly.

I want to live like a quail! But I have a choice in life. Although the quail is sitting next to me, I live in a completely different world from it. I am free to choose what I like and the environment in which I live. Yet even so, my choice is limited by social norms. What I can and cannot choose are basically two sides of the same coin. That is to say, the possibilities of unlimited choice are limited by realistic constraints. With every choice, society demands personal responsibility. The more unusual or smaller the minority in which my choice places me, the greater my responsibility will be.

    In a video installation that was part of I Am Not a Feminist, Mai Endo documented the drafting of a marriage contract and various points of discussion. These ranged from everyday questions like “Who cares about quail?” ....
  • Children © Mai Endo
    .... to basic questions like “Do you want kids? Do we want to have children, or maybe rather raise them, so that adoption would be an option? “
  • Family issues © Mai Endo
    The video installation was projected with English subtitles above the marriage bed of the couple. Even old traditions, such as that the woman moves into her husband's house, were offset by modern agreements.

    Is marriage connected with the task of achieving your own freedom? And if so, can this freedom be preserved through a self-composed marriage contract?

In the case of couples, we distinguish legally only between unmarried, married and registered partnerships. The majority of Japanese couples choose marriage. If you decide to marry, you end up in the unequal system described above. Germans have pointed out to me that, for them, feminism and marriage are unrelated, so we have to see this primarily as a Japanese problem. The inequality associated with marriage is anchored not only in a system, but also in a major problem in social norms. Japanese society requires obedience, chastity and docility from women.

In I Am Not a Feminist we tried to show, in the form of a marriage contract, alternative ways of marriage that do not fit into the categories “unmarried, married and registered partnership”. As there are many categories depending on the particular feminist position, it is logical that there should also be different types of marriage. Still, problems also occur here. Article 754 of the Civil Code provides that marital contracts may be terminated at any time by one of the two partners. In order to conclude a legally binding contract between two persons, they may not therefore be married to one other when concluding the contract. For our new marriage contract to be legally effective, it was thus first necessary to dissolve our existing marriage.

That's why we divorced before our wedding at the Goethe-Institut Tokyo – so that our alternative marriage contract would be legally binding. The new contract period is three years. This period is extended by one year after each renewal. Before each renewal, we will divorce once again and have our marriage relationship re-registered.
In addition, we have decided to change our last name after each contract when we issue the marriage banns. Since up to now we have taken the surname of my husband, in the new contract we will switch to my family name, Endo, for the next three years.
With regard to the obligation of marital fidelity, we have agreed that, as far as our relationship is not contrary to public order and morality, we will eliminate the inconveniences of marriage and refrain from exacting punishment for infidelity. Or quite concretely, that a partner, after a proven adultery, for example, is freed from the payment of compensation. Moreover, we have set down in the contract that our common possessions, the artworks that we produce, should go to benefit the general public. In this way, we want to open our marital partnership to society.

The family name a couple chooses, whether it wants to live together and how it deals with adultery - the various issues that a marriage entails shouldn’t be decided according to traditional laws, but rather according to the autonomous ethical standards of the couple.

As husband and wife, we have chosen a playful approach to the marriage system. A “role reversal” through the change of family name, a “ventilation shaft” in monogamy, the distribution of our common property – we have simply derived the rules from our moral beliefs and tried to turn our future married life into a playground. This is another way to improve the existing system, by extending rights and balancing out inequalities. We’ve made the system the theme of our game not to “live it up” but to point up other ways of life, because, unlike quail, we can change our circumstances.

UCubed: Unemployed Poised to Deliver Payback

Click to visit UCubed.  Nearly four years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the start of the nation’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, millions of jobless Americans find themselves held hostage by a GOP agenda that alternates between calls for drug testing to blaming the unemployed for causing the nation’s jobless crisis.

“Four years ago, the GOP rushed to the aid of the banks, brokerage and insurance firms,” said UCubed Executive Director Rick Sloan. “They took care of their sources of corporate campaign cash and left the jobless in a dungeon of despair. Tomorrow’s unemployment numbers will simply underscore the GOP strategy of putting its party’s finances before problem solving.”

Republican opposition to extending unemployment benefits has become a hallmark of a Congress that now claims a 16 percent approval rating, according to Gallup. Oblivious to public outcry, the GOP continues to block benefits while demanding billions in tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

“Every so often, the GOP would threaten to shoot their hostages if the Bush tax cuts weren’t extended or deep cuts in spending were not adopted,” said Sloan. “The GOP now wants the jobless to believe their hostage-taking was really just tough love for their own good. Good luck with that line of propaganda.”

With over 110,000 activists who regularly connect with 29 million Facebook friends, UCubed represents a significant demographic in the upcoming elections. UCubed was formed to assist the millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans, and to provide a structure that allows them to take advantage of their growing numbers.

Sony BDP-S350

The Sony BDP-S350 is an entry-level Blu-ray player with plenty of impressive features.

Sony BDP-S350
  • Sony BDP-S350
  • Sony BDP-S350
  • Sony BDP-S350
  • Expert Rating

    4.00 / 5

  • Great performance for the asking price, attractive & compact design, comparatively fast load times, user-friendly interface

  • Poorly designed USB port, analog outputs limited to 2-channel

Bottom Line

If you’d prefer not to spend a fortune on a Blu-ray player, but still want the quality-assurance that comes from the Sony brand, then the BDP-S350 is a top-quality choice.

Would you buy this?

Sony's BDP-S350 is an entry-level Blu-ray player that replaces the BDP-S300 Blu-ray player in the company’s high-def line-up. Alongside the requisite 1080p video playback, the Sony BDP-S350 comes with a solid array of features, including BD-Live functionality, 7.1-channel Dolby TrueHD support, a 24p True Cinema picture mode and DVD upscaling.

The Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player is smaller, faster and more handsomely equipped than its predecessor; what’s more, its price is around half the BDP-S300’s original RRP.

Considering its budget leanings, the Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player is a good looking piece of kit. With dimensions of 430x230x60mm, it is significantly smaller than the BDP-S300, which measured a comparatively monolithic 430x375x79mm. The metallic blue faceplate may lack the uniformity of the rest of your home entertainment setup (we’re guessing the rest of your gear is black), but this merely gives the device a suitably centrepiece-like appearance.

A blue LCD display and opaque flip-down panel add to the sense of class. Onboard buttons are kept to just the basics — play, pause and stop. While we appreciate the minimalist design, we would have liked to see a pair of directional buttons squeezed in somewhere. As it stands, if you misplace the remote or it runs out of batteries, you won’t be able to access any menus.

The Sony BDP-S350’s remote control is a definite improvement over the BDP-S300's, although it still isn’t backlit. Naturally, anyone who splurges on a high-definition home entertainment system is going to want to want to watch their movies with the lights off, so prepare for plenty of groping in the dark [Ooh er! – Ed.].

The BDP-S300 supports BD-Live, which allows you to access bonus content when you connect the player to the Internet. This is something that some entry-level Blu-ray players lack (such as the Sharp AQUOS BDHP21X and Kogan Blu-ray Player Full HD 1080P). While its usefulness remains a bit sketchy at present, it’s obviously a good function to have.

There is no onboard memory, but a rear-mounted USB port is included for firmware updates and BD-Live downloads. Other connections on the BDP-S350 include an Ethernet port, S-Video out, component out, stereo RCA out, optical audio out and coaxial audio out. One caveat is the recessed USB port design — the narrow aperture is ill-suited to bulkier thumb drives, which simply won’t fit. On top of that, its rear placement is frustratingly difficult to access, especially if it's inside a snug entertainment unit.

In terms of user-friendliness, the Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player is an exceptionally solid device. Anyone who has played around with a PlayStation 3 or PSP will be instantly familiar with the user interface. It adopts the same icon-based media crossbar as its console brethren, which makes for breezy, streamlined navigation. (It also looks niftier than the average Blu-ray player menu.)

We tested the BDP-S350 Blu-ray player with a 55in Sony Bravia KDL55XBR45 LCD TV . Needless to say, the results were up there with the best Blu-ray players in its price range. Only Samsung’s BD-P1500 rivalled it in the imaging stakes. We noticed none of the over-sharpening issues that so often mar cheap Blu-ray players, with the climactic bombing scene in Pear Harbour striking a good balance between smooth edging and razor-sharp detail (didn’t stop the film from being crap though).

In addition to playing Blu-ray discs, the Sony BDP-S350 offers DVD upscaling. This is something that many critics tend to overlook in their Blu-ray reviews, with a single sentence devoted to the subject. However, unless you intend to replace your entire DVD collection (which is doubtlessly extensive) it may be one of the most important considerations. Thankfully, the Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player does a great job in this regard, with our standard-def playback tests returning very strong results. When we ran the lobby shoot-out scene from The Matrix, we were very impressed by the level of detail on display. The tiny perforated holes and stiches on Keanu Reeves’ boots were clearly visible as they stomped into shot.

As mentioned, the Sony BDP-S350 supports 7.1-channel surround sound, though analog output is limited to just 2 channels. If you haven’t upgraded to an HDMI sound system yet, the Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player also comes with coaxial and optical digital outputs. All of the major audio codecs are supported, including Dolby Digital TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD and Dolby Digital Plus. By contrast, the Sony BDP-S300 lacked the ability to decode all of the afore-mentioned formats.

One of the criticisms we threw at the Sony BDP-S300 was its lethargic load times. This is something that Sony has successfully addressed with the BDP-S350. We managed to load up a Blu-ray disc in about 19 seconds, while skipping chapters took around two seconds. These are very reasonably results for a budget Blu-ray player and should go a long way towards making life easier.

All up, the Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player is a solid entry-level option that improves on the BDP-S300 in almost every area. If you’re in the market for an affordable Blu-ray player that doesn’t skimp on style or features, accept no substitutes.

Supper Club

Join me on 29th September for an evening supper club where we will take a journey through India’s finest cuisine. I'll transport you to the mystical East with the Indian flavours and fragrances that I love.

I’ll be serving a starter to show off the wonderful marinades used in the Punjabi tandoor with selection of three different murgh tikka bits.

The main course will include a number of speciality dishes from South India, Prawns from the Malibar coastline to slow cooked Madras style lamb not to mention tangy okra cooked with dried mangoes with fragrant zafrani rice.

Our journey ends in the homeland of all things sweet with a Bengali pudding of light steamed yoghurt served on a vibrant raspberry sauce.
