In 1701, two Japanese Lords were guests of the Shogun at Edo Castle.

One, Lord Kira, continually insulted the other.

Eventually the other, Lord Asano, couldn’t take it any more.

He drew his dagger and attacked Kira, until they were separated.

This suited Kira perfectly.

He had goaded Asano into drawing a weapon in the Shogun’s palace.

This was absolutely forbidden by law.

The Shogun ordered Asano to commit Hari Kiri.

After his death, all his lands were confiscated, his family was ruined, all his servants and followers were disbanded.

All his samurai were now leaderless and shamed.

The name for that is ‘ronin’.

Forty-seven of these ronin decided to avenge their master.

But of course Kira expected this.

His castle was strengthened, his bodyguards reinforced.

And the attack never came.

The ronin gave up.

Their spirit was gone.

They dispersed to become farmers, labourers, drunks and beggars.

One of them, Oishi, divorced his wife and spent his time drinking and whoring.

He publicly picked a fight with a samurai who beat him easily, left him in the mud, urinated on him, and said “You are not a samurai”.

Eventually, it became clear these ronin were not a threat, and Kira relaxed his guard.

The forty-seven ronin had spent two years lulling him into this false sense of security.

One of them even married the daughter of the man who built his castle, to get access to the plans.

And at night, in the rain, they entered the castle and killed every single defender.

They found Kira cowering in a secret hiding place.

They cut off his head using the dagger their master had used to commit Hari Kiri.

Then they took Kira’s head and laid it on their master’s grave.

Then they committed Hari Kiri.

And all forty-seven of them were buried beside their master.

All of Japan was moved at this vindication of the samurai spirit.

Supreme sacrifice.

Total persistence.

Complete loyalty.

The samurai who had urinated on the drunken Oishi came to his grave.

He begged forgiveness, and committed Hari Kiri there.

You would have thought this story would make a great film.

But Hollywood didn’t see it that way.

They thought the story alone was boring.

So they ignored the story.

In “The 47 Ronin” Keanu Reaves is the ‘half breed’ that saves Japan.

He must fight a superhuman man-mountain, who dies in a huge orange explosion.

He must fight an evil witch who turns into a flying dragon.

He must use his secret super-powers to defeat her.

The studio spent nearly $200 million dollars on special effects.

They ignored the original story and concentrated on flashy execution.

Exactly the sort of expensive, flashy execution you see in every Hollywood movie.

Consequently the movie bombed and it may bankrupt the studio.

Doesn’t that sound like what we do?

We don’t talk about the product and why it’s better, because a simple, powerful story is way too boring.

So we ignore the product.

We concentrate on expensive, flashy execution instead.

And every ad looks exactly like every other ad.

And most of it doesn’t work.

Whatever happened to a good story?

Sarah Dubná’s diploma revolves around beekeeping. She has strong ties to it via the profession of her mother, a top-rank researcher in this field. However, she simultaneously tries to view it from the outside and a distance – as a form of interspecies cooperation between two autonomous systems, or as a parasitic coexistence of bees and humans. She, on the one hand, presents a literary text that seems to be raw testimonies of the beekeeping nerds and, on the other hand, a “functional sculpture” in the form of a wall, which will permanently divide the room of a study department. Its surface combines ecru earthen cast and ceramic tiles, which Dubná coated with new glazing and united the two materials by a figural drawing. She perceives the wall with the drawing, “parasitizing” on the host surface, as a metaphor of a beehive, where the facing and glazing refer to honeycombs.

Manmohan Singh’s speech at the 68th UN General Assembly

mmsSeptember 28, 2013

Your Excellency, President of the General Assembly,

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me first of all congratulate you, Mr. President, on your election to the presidency of the 68th session of the UN General Assembly. We wish you every success and we assure you of our fullest co-operation.

Mr. President,

At a time when the world is facing multiple challenges, there is renewed attention on the role of the United Nations in advancing international peace, security and prosperity. However, never has scepticism about the UN’s capacity to do so been higher, or the external environment less propitious for multilateralism.

Nearly seven decades of the work of the United Nations hold one simple lesson and that is this: we are most successful when we adhere to the letter and spirit of the United Nations Charter, basing our decisions on the widest possible consent and balancing equitably the needs and responsibilities of nations at different stages of development.

In these seven decades, the world has changed in fundamental ways. Asia and Africa are independent and resurgent. Countries are now not only more interdependent, but also face new and increasingly complex challenges. For multilateralism to remain relevant and effective in the future, multilateral institutions need to be reformed urgently.

The place to begin is right here.

The UN Security Council must be reformed and restructured to reflect current political realities. More developing countries should be included as both permanent and non-permanent members.

Multilateral Financial Institutions should also enable an enhanced voice for developing countries in their decision making structures.

Multilateral efforts must guide our quest for peace and security, wherever they are threatened. And the centrality and contribution of the UN system to development must be restored.

These objectives, Mr. President, require the building of a new international consensus, suited to our time and rooted in today’s realities. It is only such a plan of action that will enable the UN to meet the twin tests of legitimacy and effectiveness and efficiency.

Mr. President,

We commend your choice for the theme of this session. Setting the stage for the post-2015 Development Agenda is especially important as we deal with a lingering global economic slowdown and continuing volatility in financial markets. These have imposed disproportionately heavy costs on developing countries and vulnerable groups within them.

Growth and inclusive development are naturally important for all our countries. They require a supportive international economic environment, enhanced investment flows, including from multilateral development banks, transfer of technology, and an open multilateral trading regime.

But the problems of over a billion people living in abject poverty around the world need to be attacked more directly. Poverty remains a major political and economic challenge and its eradication requires special attention and a new collective thrust. This priority should anchor the post-2015 Development Agenda, which should be shaped by the member states so that it enjoys the broadest possible support and acceptance.

Mr. President,

Issues of peace, security, human rights and governance are important and need to be addressed. But we will fall short of realizing an ambitious post-2015 development agenda if we focus merely on governance issues at the cost of robust economic growth.

This agenda should not be merely about reprioritizing domestic spending, but also about fostering genuine international partnership between the developing and developed countries to bring about change. All of us need the policy space necessary to set our own domestic priorities. No one knows the condition of developing countries better than the developing countries themselves.

It is, therefore, important that the UN set clear and concise goals and provide practical and well-defined means of implementation, including adequate flow of resources and transfer of technology, taking the views of developing countries fully into account.

A meaningful post-2015 agenda must place equally high priority on food and nutrition, health, education, infrastructure, water, sanitation, energy and discrimination against women. Especially critical is women’s equal access to economic opportunities, and that they do not become victims of violence or targets of prejudice.

In India, we have sought to promote inclusive development in multiple ways. Legislation has broadened access to education and secured rural livelihoods. We are now building the world’s largest programme for food security. Digital technology is being harnessed to improve the delivery of public services and benefits to the people.

Mr. President,

India is proud of its partnerships with developing countries. Using modest resources, we havebuilt strong ties with Africa and the Least Developed Countries. We are committed to building 100 institutions in Africa, have offered capacity building support including thousands of scholarships, and made available concessional assistance of over 9.5 billion US dollars. India and Africa are engaging through the India-Africa Forum Summit process. We also look forward to participating actively in the 3rdConference on the Small Island Developing States in Samoa in 2014 and contributing to its outcome.

Mr. President,

Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our times.We must summon the necessary political will for crafting a robust global response to climate change on the basis of equity and the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities.

Mr. President,

We are deeply concerned about the future of West Asia, a region with which India shares deep bonds of history, and one that is critical for our energy security as well as the livelihoods of nearly seven million Indians who work and live in the region.

The increasingly lethal conflict in Syria is not only a tragedy for the people of Syria, but also threatens stability and security in the region and beyond. It has been made worse by the use of chemical weapons. The use of chemical weapons, whosoever may have deployed them, must be condemned in the strongest terms. India supports strongly the elimination of chemical weapons material and equipment in Syria.

There is no military solution to this conflict. We must intensify efforts to end the conflict and seek a political settlement. It is essential that the Geneva-2 conference be convened at the earliest.

Mr. President,

We are encouraged that direct talks have resumed between Israel and Palestine. India supports an early realisation of a sovereign, independent, viable and united State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living within secure and recognised borders side-by-side and at peace with Israel. We also remain committed to the Palestinian quest for full membership of the UN.

In our own region, Afghanistan prepares for a historic political, security and economic transition. The international community must support the people of Afghanistan through this transition and beyond in combating terrorism, preserving the progress of the past decade and creating a stable, united and prosperous Afghanistan.

Mr President,

Terrorism remains a grave threat to security and stability everywhere and extracts a heavy toll of innocent lives around the world. From Africa to Asia, we have seen several manifestations of this menace in the last few days alone. State-sponsored cross-border terrorism is of particular concern to India, also on account of the fact that the epicentre of terrorism in our region is located in our neighbourhood in Pakistan.

Speaking from this podium yesterday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan spoke of making a new beginning. I reciprocate his sentiments and am looking forward to meeting him tomorrow. India is committed sincerely to resolving all issues with Pakistan, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, through bilateral dialogue on the basis of the Shimla Agreement. However, for progress to be made, it is imperative that the territory of Pakistan and the areas under its control are not utilized for aiding and abetting terrorism directed against India. It is equally important that the terrorist machinery that draws its sustenance from Pakistan be shut down. There must be a clear understanding of the fact Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and that there can never, ever, be a compromise with the unity and territorial integrity of India.

Mr. President,

We need to renew our commitment, especially here at the UN, for concerted, cohesive and continuing global action against terrorism. There can be no tolerance for states sheltering, arming, training or financing terrorists. Nor can they absolve themselves of the responsibility to prevent their territories from being used to launch acts of terrorism.

Mr. President,

The increasingly complex challenges to international peace and security require a new international consensus to be built, whether it is in cyber security, non proliferation or terrorism. This year, 25 years after Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi put forward a comprehensive Action Plan for a Nuclear Weapon-free and Non-violent World Order, we must strengthen efforts against nuclear proliferation and pursue time-bound, universal, non-discriminatory, phased and verifiable nuclear disarmament. We must also guard against terrorists and non-state actors gaining access to sensitive materials and technologies.

Mr. President,

Two years from now, the United Nations will be seventy years old. Every new state that was born during this period took its place in this Assembly not just with pride but also with hope. 2015 will be a moment to celebrate our successes and to ensure that the UN is ready for this century by completing the much needed reforms of the United Nations and its Security Council, by developing an ambitious and balanced post-2015 Development Agenda and by demonstrating our capacity to cooperate effectively for durable peace and security in this world.

Thank you.

Christmas Marathon - Austin Child & Family Portrait Photographer

Wow, it has been a busy week!! This is definitely busy season for family photographers as everyone gets ready for Christmas and tries to get their family Christmas card ready. I have really enjoyed all of the families I've gotten to capture over the past couple of weeks. I am working like crazy trying to finish up all of these sessions. LOTS of coffee for me and Blues Clues and Sesame Street for Adalyn. There are two things adding extra motivation for me to finish all of my work (besides all of the wonderful families waiting for their proofs): decorating our house for Christmas and a new book to read. Neither of these things can be started until I am done, otherwise I wont ever finish! =) I am really excited about Christmas this year. Having a two year old adds child like wonder to the season. She is already SO excited about Christmas lights. She says, "More lights, Daddy. More lights!!" as we drive home. LOVE it!

Okay... back to the business at hand. These kiddos were having a tough morning and it didn't help that it was cold an windy outside when we met for our session. They were troopers though and I managed to bribe, tickle, and surprise some smiles out of them before the end of the session.

I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek and I look forward to next year! It is fun to watch your kiddos grow.

Fall is here! - Marble Falls Family & Child Photographer

So this past weekend was full of driving for me. I also made a trip out to Marble Falls to do a family portrait session. The drive was breathtaking. It helped to get me into the holiday spirit. The fall colors are in full bloom in the Hill Country and that is something we only see occasional glimpses of in the city. It was a nice, quiet drive (read: no kiddos in the car) and I just soaked in the view. I'm ready for Thanksgiving now! I actually feel like it is fall this year!

You guys enjoy your sneak peek and look forward to Christmas with your little one. I am discovering that Christmas time with kids just renews the excitement and joy in the season. We drove by a house tonight that was DECKED out in Christmas lights. I looked into the back seat and Adalyn with just sitting there with her hand over her mouth in amazement. She kept saying "more lights, more lights" wanting me to find another house with lights. So fun! LOTS to look forward to.

A family reunion & a birthday party! - Wimberley Event Photographer

On Saturday afternoon, I got to drive to Wimberley to take some family portraits at a family reunion. It has been a long time since I've been out to Wimberley. It is beautiful. I LOVE living in Texas. It is also a little scary. Not Wimberley, but the drive TO Wimberley. I am so not used to two lane, windy roads. I'm a city girl - I'll admit it! Anyway, if you find yourself with some extra time or a Sunday afternoon, enjoy the drive out to Wimberley. It is a pretty little town. The family reunion was at the Creekhaven Inn. Check it out if you are going for a visit. I would totally stay there if I had the opportunity. It looked really peaceful and relaxing.

This family was getting together in honor of their mother who was celebrating a very special birthday. They were a lively and fun bunch. Getting everyone to smile was not an issue. Coming from a bigger family myself, it was fun to see a glimpse into the future. I can't wait until there are too many of us to fit into one house... that just means there's more love to go around!

Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren!

New Baby Brother - Austin Child & Newborn Photographer

This family just welcomed kiddo number three into the mix. His brother and sister were very excited about him. Their little eyes gleamed when they got to sit down and hold him. So precious. Their sweet mama has her hands full - the kids have her WAY out numbered now, but she is relaxed and content to just go with the flow and handle things one at a time as they come. To her I say - You are doing great and more sleep will come soon! I was SO just in your shoes and as you know it gets easier soon. =) Your children are beautiful! Enjoy this little sneak peek....

Family... Cedar Park Child & Family Photographer

This family is... family. We love them and are excited to celebrate their latest addition. Welcome to the world Caleb! We can't wait to see you grow up. Congratulations you guys!

Dungeons and Dragons – Curse of Innistrahd Episode 27

Hell is real. To what extent is unclear, but the church needn’t have fables of fiends when they came unbidden all too real cackling in the night. There were holes that the Cathars knew about, gaping mouths of flame and sulphur. They dispensed the biddings of chaos and torment, crazed devils in seemingly infinite amounts and scheming demons to never truly be slain. They were portals to so much malign. And from a young age, Lady Wachter was enchanted.

It was one trip on an urgent journey that her mercantile father took her through the Needle’s Eye, her seat in the carriage barely raising her eyes above the draped windowsill. It was there she saw its activity: The Ashmouth, the maw of stygian forces glowing with an ambient menace. It lit the darkening earth in a warm and consuming radiance that felt as though it threatened to draw her off the teetering peaks. Only her father’s shouts roused her from her encompassing focus, as he bellowed at the teamster to move them faster away from the leathery sounds of wings.

She never forgot that feeling. She swore to find it again. There was so much out there. And she needed it all.

She has fantastical powers that can change nature, but these powers cannot change her past.
  • Axe – Niccolo Argenti – Rogue: A former Midnight Duelist, sworn to protect the streets of his home city of Nephalia from vampires and corpse-traders. After his brother Jacomo died in service of the Church of Avacyn, he became disillusioned and forsook his duties, becoming an apostate and blade for hire. Thirty-five years old, he’s managed to live to what passes for middle age on the blighted plane of Innistrad with the sharpness of his wits and the speed of his blade.
  • Kevin – Faustus Pent – Wizard: University educated among the Ivory Towers of Nephalia, Faustus Pent made a career of creating clockwork devices for the well-off, from toys to complicated weaponry.

Shilo Church

Henderson, NC

DTW Architects designed this fellowship hall addition for an African-American congregation that had been founded in 1864. The existing small church building was constructed in the 1950s, and the existing fellowship hall was in a cramped and damp basement. The congregation wanted an enlarged gathering space with modern kitchen facilities. DTW designed this addition to complement the existing church building and still permit the sanctuary to be more significant; the roofline of the addition is slightly lower than the existing sanctuary. However, its high-ceilinged clerestory provides bountiful light in the fellowship hall and makes it feel much larger. In addition, several French doors open onto the new courtyard between the sanctuary and fellowship hall, where a new pedestal displays the original bell from an earlier church building.

drank Pumpkin Creme Brulee by Butiki Teas
11267 tasting notes

Mmmmm I didn’t get much tea today – in part from being busy and also from being paranoid about another spill at work lol had this when I got home after walking part way home in a skirt and bare legs lol yeah I’m a dumbass but whatever. The buses were really dragging today so it got me home a good 20 mins earlier and I didn’t have to fight to get on the bus :)

This tea makes me happy…though I think from a pumpkin tea perspective I do like the Della terra a smidge better. But this tea is also different. The spices are wonderfully strong and there’s that burnt brûlée taste that is really interesting.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.

SQ-5 is built for pros in the most demanding live sound applications. Class-leading high resolution audio & ultra-low <0.7ms latency, the SQ-5 gives you unrivalled power & fidelity

Powered by Allen & Heath's revolutionary XCVI 96kHz FPGA engine, SQ-5 is built for professionals in the most demanding live sound applications. Delivering class-leading high resolution audio with an ultra-low <0.7ms latency, the SQ-5 gives you unrivalled power and audio fidelity. The mixer has 16 onboard preamps and 8 stereo FX engines with dedicated return channels and access to the acclaimed RackExtra FX library. 12 stereo mixes (configurable as groups or auxes) make SQ the perfect companion for in-ear monitoring setups, whilst Automatic Mic Mixing takes the strain in multi-mic environments. SQ-5 gives you all the tools to meet any requirement, from AV and corporate events to live productions and houses of worship.

96kHz XCVI Core
SQ is a future-proofed, next-generation console, powered by Allen & Heath's 96kHz XCVI FPGA engine. XCVI delivers class-leading high resolution audio quality, ultra-low latency of <0.7ms, variable bit depth for ultimate precision and noise performance, mix coherency down to the sample, and the sheer power to handle high channel / mix counts and ample FX / processing.

DEEP processing
SQ's DEEP processing architecture allows owners to hand-pick boutique compressor and preamp emulations to suit their style and needs. DEEP processing is embedded directly within the mixer's inputs and mix channels, so plugins can be used without adding system latency or setup hassles.

The Ultimate IEM Mixer
With no less than 12 stereo mixes, super-low latency, and both parametric and graphic EQ on every mix, SQ is the perfect companion for in-ear monitoring setups. SQ's airline-friendly compactness and rugged build quality mean there's no reason to gamble on house monitor consoles again.

Expandable up to 48 mics
SQ-5 has all the onboard I/O you need for standalone operation. Thanks to its SLink intelligent port, SQ can also be expanded up to a total of 48 mic inputs via a family of 96kHz and 48kHz rack and stage box expanders (e.g. AB168, AR2412, AR84 and DX168), making it a flexible, mix 'n' match solution for owners of other Allen & Heath digital systems. You can also link your SQ directly to another SQ or even a dLive system.

Dante, Waves and more
SQ is the centrepiece of a growing ecosystem of apps, expanders, audio networking, personal mixers and more, allowing you to connect, adapt and expand to your heart's content. It's compatible with leading audio networking standards too - add an audio networking card such as Dante or Waves to SQ's I/O port and you're ready to integrate with installed systems, provide a digital FoH / Monitor split and more.

Flexible multitrack recording
The integrated SQ-Drive makes it quick and easy to capture a 96kHz multitrack or stereo recording of the show direct to a USB key or drive. No software setup, no soundcard driver issues and no extra laptop to bring to the performance. SQ-Drive is also a smart way to manage walk-in music.

Also provided is a built-in 32x32 96kHz audio interface for multitrack recording, backing tracks or virtual soundcheck applications. The interface is Core Audio and ASIO compliant and comes complete with MIDI and DAW control capabilities.

Advanced AMM's
SQ's advanced automatic mic mixers (AMM's) make it a natural choice for mixing conferences, panel talks and TV shows. They're fully integrated in the mixer too, with no extra latency, so you don't need to route the audio to an internal DSP rack or an external plugin system. Two fully independent 24 channel AMM's can be utilised for two zones or combined into a single 48 channel AMM for larger events.

Designed for the pro
We know that the live environment can be tough on gear - that's why we devised our most punishing regime of testing and retesting yet for SQ. From its 3-tier, all metal chassis to its extruded aluminium light bar, SQ has tremendous strength and rigidity underlying its good looks.

The Mixing Experience
With each new design, the Allen & Heath team strives to get closer to the ultimate mixing experience. SQ's dashboard is centred around a high-res 7" capacitive touchscreen, framed by an array of high-grip, illuminating encoders to create an intuitive, integrated blend of clear visual feedback and immediate, hands-on control. Channels and mixes can be dragged and dropped to any strip, with custom naming and colour coding on the colour strip displays, allowing you to build a mixing environment that mirrors your own workflow. Each strip features our patented Chromatic channel metering system, giving you at-a-glance level indication thanks to LEDs with variable brightness and colour.

SQ MixPad App
The SQ MixPad app is available for free on iOS and Android platforms, providing wireless control of the main mixing functions. This enables the engineer to mix from different listening positions, set up monitor mixes from the stage, or just add extra local control.

All you need is an iPad or Android device and a wireless router.

ewer Maintenance Tips

Stopping Sewage System Line Back-up and Overflow

High up on the checklist of experiences nobody wants to have is a sewer backup or overflow. Thankfully, this experience can generally be stayed clear of by being aware of what creates backups and preventing those reasons. The two primary reasons for sewer backups as well as overflows are oil as well as roots.

Grease is one of the most constant cause of sewer troubles. If cooking oil or oil is poured down the drainpipe or flushed down toilets, even when followed by warm water, it at some point cools off, cakes, develops, and solidifies, ultimately forming a plug in both house as well as District sewer lines. With time, this situation produces back-ups and also overflows. This unfortunate circumstance can be avoided if you:

Never ever put grease down sink drains or right into toilets

Scuff grease and also food scraps from plates, pots, frying pans, utensils as well as grills into a can or the trash for disposal

Do not place oil down the waste disposal unit. Put baskets/strainers in the sink drains pipes to capture solids and also empty into the trash.

Plant origins are an additional constant source of sewage system back-ups and also overflows. The roots of hedges and also trees normally seek any kind of water source. The roots penetrate the sewer line looking for any type of opening, such as a fracture or a badly secured joint. Once the drain line is permeated, the origins form a sphere and obstruct the line. The very best method to stay clear of root blockages is not to plant trees and shrubs near to your residence's cleanouts or sewage system service line. However, if trees or hedges currently are expanding near the line, look for decreases in flows away. If a reduction in circulation takes place, have a plumbing technician inspect the line and also clear the blockage if needed.

Right here are some suggestions that can help protect against clogged lines within-- and outside of your residence:

Mind Your Cleanouts

Cleanouts are a direct line to the drain and consequently to drain gas odor.

The following might assist with odor troubles.

Ensure catches are full of water, considering that the water in flooring drains pipes and other drain catches tends to vaporize

See to it all caps get on and also secure

Often a percentage of bleach put into the drainpipe can help

Cleaning up blocked drains pipes isn't as very easy as dumping a chemical drainpipe cleaner down and also waiting. Did you understand that there are separate waste elimination lines that feed into a larger major line bring drainage away from your residence into the sewer system? Residences have a "soil line" which brings cooking area sink as well as bathroom waste to the major line. They are likewise outfitted with a "waste line" which handles showers as well as restroom sinks. This suggests there are two possibilities for clogs prior to the main line, which itself can be obstructed. Component of sewer drainpipe cleaning is discovering what part of your system has the problem.

Use liquid drainpipe cleaners as opposed to crystal drain cleansers. Crystal drainpipe cleaners might strengthen in your pipelines.

Professionals say you ought to never make use of a chemical drain cleaner to deal with a "total obstruction". You'll need the aid of a sewer jetter, which blasts away the blockage and restores the pipelines to an extra pristine condition. After utilizing a drain jetter, it's a good idea to check the integrity of your drain systems using a hydrostatic line https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=ΑΠΟΦΡΑΞΕΙΣ ΠΑΛΑΙΟ ΦΑΛΗΡΟ tester. If there are existing leaks in the pipe system secured up by particles, that short-lived seal was removed by the sewage system jetter. The hydrostatic line tester will assist you determine such leakages so you can fix and also avoid more damages.

Try protecting against the issue altogether:

As soon as a month, put one cup of baking soda, adhered to by one mug of white vinegar down the drain. Wait an hour and flush with cozy water. The combination fizzles away most of the buildup. This normally benefits showers, tubs and kitchen area sink drains pipes.

Be Kind to Your Waste Disposal Unit

Fibrous foods such as celery, banana peels, etc. are really hard to grind up and can obstruct waste disposal unit.

Lemon peels off appear to momentarily deal with bad odors from disposals.

Run water while operating your waste disposal unit. This will certainly aid push foods via and also help keep the disposal from obstructing. (Cold water is advised.).

Deal with Your Bathroom.

Dripping commodes are expensive! Most of the time it is a negative flush valve (the stopper at the bottom of the tank linked to the deal with). Any kind of equipment shop carries flush shutoffs. They are economical and also rather easy to mount.

Ensure the water level in the storage tank is where it is expected to be. (See water line in tank).

Commode water ports or jets can become connected with calcium accumulation from hard water. You will discover a number of ports under the rim of the commode bowl. Take a steel layer wall mount and also poke the end of the wall mount up into the ports to remove them. Additionally check the primary port at the bottom of the commode stool.

If your commode is blocked, do not use chemical drainpipe openers. Attempt running a cord through the shower drainpipe (given that they are linked). If that does not work, call a professional plumbing.

Cystathionine-β-synthase, also known as CBS, is an enzyme (EC that in humans is encoded by the CBS gene. It catalyzes the first step of the transsulfuration pathway, from homocysteine to cystathionine:[5]

L-serine + L-homocysteine L-cystathionine + H2O

CBS uses the cofactor pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) and can be allosterically regulated by effectors such as the ubiquitous cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (adoMet). This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, to be specific, the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds.

CBS is a multidomain enzyme composed of an N-terminal enzymatic domain and two CBS domains. The CBS gene is the most common locus for mutations associated with homocystinuria.[6]

The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-serine hydro-lyase (adding homocysteine; L-cystathionine-forming). Other names in common use include:

Methylcysteine synthase was assigned the EC number EC in 1961. A side-reaction of CBS caused this. The EC number EC was deleted in 1972.[7]

Sequence and secondary structure of the CBS enzyme.[8]

The human enzyme cystathionine β-synthase is a tetramer and comprises 551 amino acids with a subunit molecular weight of 61 kDa. It displays a modular organization of three modules with the N-terminal heme domain followed by a core that contains the PLP cofactor.[9] The cofactor is deep in the heme domain and is linked by a Schiff base.[10] A Schiff base is a functional group containing a C=N bond with the nitrogen atom connected to an aryl or alkyl group. The heme domain is composed of 70 amino acids and it appears that the heme only exists in mammalian CBS and is absent in yeast and protozoan CBS. At the C-terminus, the regulatory domain of CBS contains a tandem repeat of two CBS domains of β-α-β-β-α, a secondary structure motif found in other proteins.[9] CBS has a C-terminal inhibitory domain. The C-terminal domain of cystathionine β-synthase regulates its activity via both intrasteric and allosteric effects and is important for maintaining the tetrameric state of the protein.[9] This inhibition is alleviated by binding of the allosteric effector, adoMet, or by deletion of the regulatory domain; however, the magnitude of the effects differ.[9] Mutations in this domain are correlated with herary diseases.[11]

The heme domain contains an N-terminal loop that binds heme and provides the axial ligands C52 and H65. The distance of heme from the PLP binding site suggests its non-role in catalysis, however deletion of the heme domain causes loss of redox sensitivity, therefore it is hypothesized that heme is a redox sensor.[10] The presence of protoporphyrin IX in CBS is a unique PLP-dependent enzyme and is only found in the mammalian CBS. D. melanogaster and D. discoides have truncated N-terminal extensions and therefore prevent the conserved histidine and cysteine heme ligand residues. However, the Anopheles gambiae sequence has a longer N-terminal extension than the human enzyme and contains the conserved histidine and cysteine heme ligand residues like the human heme. Therefore, it is possible that CBS in slime molds and insects are hemeproteins that suggest that the heme domain is an early evolutionary innovation that arose before the separation of animals and the slime molds.[9] The PLP is an internal aldimine and forms a Schiff base with K119 in the active site. Between the catalytic and regulatory domains exists a hypersensitive site that causes proteolytic cleavage and produces a truncated dimeric enzyme that is more active than the original enzyme. Both truncated enzyme and the enzyme found in yeast are not regulated by adoMet. The yeast enzyme is also activated by the deletion of the C-terminal to produce the dimeric enzyme.[9]

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1JBQ and 1M54.

Cysteine metabolism. Cystathionine beta synthase catalyzes the upper reaction and cystathionine gamma-lyase catalyzes the lower reaction.

Transsulfuration, catalyzed by CBS, converts homocysteine to cystathionine, which cystathione gamma lyase converts to cysteine.[12]

CBS occupies a pivotal position in mammalian sulfur metabolism at the homocysteine junction where the decision to conserve methionine or to convert it to cysteine via the transsulfuration pathway, is made. Moreover, the transsulfuration pathway is the only pathway capable of removing sulfur-containing amino acids under conditions of excess.[9]

In analogy with other β-replacement enzymes, the reaction catalyzed by CBS is predicted to involve a series of adoMet-bound intermediates. Addition of serine results in a transchiffization reaction, which forms of an external aldimine. The aldimine undergoes proton abstraction at the α-carbon followed by elimination to generate an amino-acrylate intermediate. Nucleophilic attack by the thiolate of homocysteine on the aminoacrylate and reprotonation at Cα generate the external aldimine of cystathionine. A final transaldimination reaction releases the final product, cystathionine.[9] The final product, L-cystathionine can also form an aminoacrylate intermediate, indicating that the entire reaction of CBS is reversible.[13]

The measured V0 of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, in general, reflects the steady state (where [ES] is constant), even though V0 is limited to the early part of a reaction, and analysis of these initial rates is referred to as steady-state kinetics. Steady-state kinetic analysis of yeast CBS yields parallel lines. These results agree with the proposed ping-pong mechanism in which serine binding and release of water are followed by homocysteine binding and release of cystathionine. In contrast, the steady-state enzyme kinetics of rat CBS yields intersecting lines, indicating that the β-substituent of serine is not released from the enzyme prior to binding of homocysteine.[9]

One of the alternate reactions involving CBS is the condensation of cysteine with homocysteine to form cystathionine and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).[13] H2S in the brain is produced from L-cysteine by CBS. This alternative metabolic pathway is also dependent on adoMet.[14]

CBS enzyme activity is not found in all tissues and cells. It is absent from heart, lung, testes, adrenal, and spleen in rats. In humans, it has been shown to be absent in heart muscle and primary cultures of human aortic endothelial cells. The lack of CBS in these tissues implies that these tissues are unable to synthesize cysteine and that cysteine must be supplied from extracellular sources. It also suggests that these tissues might have increased sensitivity to homocysteine toxicity because they cannot catabolize excess homocysteine via transsulfuration.[13]

Allosteric activation of CBS by adoMet determines the metabolic fate of homocysteine. Mammalian CBS is activated 2.5-5-fold by AdoMet with a dissociation constant of 15 μM.[6] AdoMet is an allosteric activator that increases the Vmax of the CBS reaction but does not affect the Km for the substrates. In other words, AdoMet stimulates CBS activity by increasing the turnover rate rather than the binding of substrates to the enzyme.[9] This protein may use the morpheein model of allosteric regulation.[15]

Human CBS performs a crucial step in the biosynthetic pathway of cysteine by providing a regulatory control point for AdoMet. Homocysteine, after being methylated to methionine, can be converted to AdoMet, which donates methyl groups to a variety of substrates, e.g., neurotransmitters, proteins, and nucleic acids. AdoMet functions as an allosteric activator of CBS and exerts control on its biosynthesis: low concentrations of AdoMet result in low CBS activity, thereby funneling homocysteine into the transmethylation cycle toward AdoMet formation. In contrast, high adoMet concentrations funnel homocysteine into the transsulfuration pathway toward cysteine biosynthesis.[16]

In mammals, CBS is a highly regulated enzyme, which contains a heme cofactor that functions as a redox sensor,[11] that can modulate its activity in response to changes in the redox potential. If the resting form of CBS in the cell has ferrous (Fe2+) heme, the potential exists for activating the enzyme under oxidizing conditions by conversion to the ferric (Fe3+) state.[9] The Fe2+ form of the enzyme is inhibited upon binding CO or nitric oxide, whereas enzyme activity is doubled when the Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+. The redox state of the heme is pH dependent, with oxidation of Fe2+–CBS to Fe3+–CBS being favored at low pH conditions.[17]

Since mammalian CBS contains a heme cofactor, whereas yeast and protozoan enzyme from Trypanosoma cruzi do not have heme cofactors, researchers have speculated that heme is not required for CBS activity.[9]

CBS is regulated at the transcriptional level by NF-Y, SP-1, and SP-3. In addition it is upregulated transcriptionally by glucocorticoids and glycogen, and downregulated by insulin. Methionine upregulates CBS at the post-transcriptional level.

Human disease[]

Down syndrome is a medical condition characterized by an overexpression of cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) and a low level of homocysteine in the blood. It has been speculated that cystathionine beta synthase overexpression could be the major culprit in this disease (along with dysfunctioning of GabaA and Dyrk1a). The phenotype of down syndrome is the opposite of Hyperhomocysteinemia (described below). Pharmacologicals inhibitors of CBS have been patented by the Jerome Lejeune Foundation (November 2011) and trials (animals and humans are planned).

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally large level of homocysteine in the blood. Mutations in CBS are the single most common cause of herary hyperhomocysteinemia. Genetic defects that affect the MTHFR, MTR, and MTRR/MS enzyme pathways can also contribute to high homocysteine levels. Inborn errors in CBS result in hyperhomocysteinemia with complications in the cardiovascular system leading to early and aggressive arterial disease. Hyperhomocysteinemia also affects three other major organ systems including the ocular, central nervous, and skeletal.[9]

Homocystinuria due to CBS deficiency is a special type of hyperhomocysteinemia. It is a rare, herary recessive autosomal disease, in general diagnosed during childhood. A total of 131 different homocystinuria-causing mutations have been identified. A common functional feature of the mutations in the CBS domains is that the mutations abolish or strongly reduce activation by adoMet.[16] No specific cure has been discovered for homocystinuria; however, many people are treated using high doses of vitamin B6, which is a cofactor of CBS.

Cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) is involved in oocyte development. However, little is known about the regional and cellular expression patterns of CBS in the ovary and research is now focused on determining the location and expression during follicle development in the ovaries.[18]

Absence of Cystathionine beta synthase in mice provokes infertility due to the loss of uterine protein expression.[19]

The genes that control CBS enzyme expression may not operate at 100% efficiency in individuals who have one of the SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms, more commonly known as mutations) that affect this gene. Known variants include the A360A, C699T, I278T, N212N, and T42N SNPs (among others). These SNPs, which have varied effects on the effectiveness of the enzyme, can be detected with standard DNA testing methods.

Rally to urge MTA to make subway stations accessible prior to settlement hearing with Judge Schlomo Hagler

Rally to urge MTA to make subway stations accessible prior to settlement hearing with Judge Schlomo Hagler

New York, NY – Rise and Resist’s Elevator Action Group , Brooklyn Center for the Independence of the Disabled (BCID), Center for Independence of the Disabled New York (CIDNY), TransitCenter, Transportation Alternatives, and The People’s MTA called on the MTA to make a binding legal agreement to make New York City’s subway system fully accessible at a rally outside the New York State Supreme Court, on October 5, 2018 prior to settlement hearing with Judge Schlomo Hagler.
At the rally calling on MTA to make the subways accessible for all New Yorkers, speakers talked about how elevators would allow them to use the city’s subways. It’s not public transit if only some people can ride.
Afterward, rally-goers headed into the court house where Judge Schlomo Hagler held a settlement conference between Disability Rights Advocates and the MTA.
Disability Rights Advocates represents several disability groups who have charged that the MTA violates New York City Human Rights law by denying access to the subways for people with disabilities and others who need elevators to ride freely throughout the city. New York City has the least accessible subway system of all major US cities.
On April 25, 2017, DRA filed a class action lawsuit against the New York City Transit Authority (“NYCTA”), Metropolitan Transit Authority (“MTA”), and New York City (“the City”) for their failure to make the subway system programmatically accessible for persons whose mobility and other disabilities restrict them from using stairs. The City’s subway system has long been City’s lifeline, enabling over 6 million people per day to participate in its economic, political, cultural and civic life. Indeed, an average resident of New York depends on subways to carry out a vast array of essential tasks every day of his/her life.
For people with disabilities, however, meaningful access to the subway system has remained all but illusory. The rare accessible stations tend to be spaced out by at least 30 blocks and constitute less than 20 percent of the total number of stations. In numerous parts of the City, residents with disabilities have no access whatsoever. As a result, they remain completely barred from a mode of transportation that has shaped City’s life in a way that is unparalleled elsewhere in the country.
DRA’s ultimate goal is to ensure that the Defendants institute a comprehensive remedial scheme that can meaningfully address this devastating exclusion of people with disabilities from one of the nation’s largest and most important public transportation systems.

Ontwerp en implementatie van een bloeddrukmeter in een Sanquin donorkiosk

Steen, Sjoerd van der (2014) Ontwerp en implementatie van een bloeddrukmeter in een Sanquin donorkiosk.

[img] PDF
Abstract:A few years ago, Sanquin started the ‘Donor Service Concept 2015’. With this project, Sanquin aimed to improve the efficiency and enjoyment of the acquisition process for blood donors. A part of this project was the design of a kiosk where donors could identify themselves and fill in a medical questionnaire. The missing part of the kiosk was a sphygmomanometer. This assignment encloses the design of this sphygmomanometer. Eventually, this way, the donor can identify himself, fill in the medical questionnaire and measure their own blood pressure. This leads to less work for the personnel, making the process more efficient. To find out the requirements of the sphygmomanometer, an analysis is performed. The correct way of measuring the blood pressure and the influences on blood pressure are investigated. Also some different sphygmomanometers on the market are examined. At the end of the analysis, a design brief was set up to establish the requirements of the final design. The most important requirements: The donor must be able to perform a blood pressure measurement self-reliantly, it has to be clear for the donor which actions must be performed and the design must provide a correct posture during the blood pressure measurement. The choice in the idea-phase was to quickly generate a few specific ideas for an upcoming project meeting. A few solutions on the market were used in three different ideas. One idea was the use of a normal cuff, the second one used a wrist blood pressure monitor and in the third idea an automatic cuff was used. During the meeting, none of the ideas turned out viable. The normal cuff would be too difficult for the donor to use, the wrist monitor was medically unviable and the automatic cuff would be too expensive and vulnerable. Shortly after the project meeting, a meeting with a manufacturer of sphygmomanometers, Microlife, took place. During this meeting, it became clear that Microlife was interested in supplying a device for this project, the Microlife BP A6 PC. This meter is connectable to the pc and uses a preformed upper arm cuff. This makes this sphygmomanometer viable for this project. For the donors to actually use the meter, two systems need to be added. A system to open and close the cuff, the cuff holder, and a system to move the cuff in height, the height system. Both systems have been elaborated to drafts via different steps. For the cuff holder, a final draft is chosen. For the height system, a draft was chosen that was most suitable for the production with limited resources and time. A prototype of the chosen systems was produced. With the prototype a research has been performed. The goal of the research was to establish whether the prototype could be used without help and if the prototype influenced the blood pressure measurement. This research was performed with 15 subjects. The most important conclusions, given these results, were the feedback on the height system and the impact of the prototype on the measurement. Most people had trouble using the height system, also the subjects had trouble judging the correct height of the cuff holder. The results of the measurements showed the prototype did not affect the measurement. With the results and feedback from the research, the design is adjusted, also the most chosen height system is integrated in the design. This lead to the final design. This design meets most of the requirements. The requirements that were not met, are due to lack of the interaction with the tablet. This was not elaborated in this project.

World’s Scientists Scrambling After Thinking Other Countries Would Do All Work On COVID Vaccine

Four scientists wearing lab coats and gloves in a lab
The researchers have been frantically trying to “play catch up” to protect the lives of millions.

International health officials are scrambling in an attempt at last-minute research into the development of a Sars-Cov-2 vaccine candidate after realizing the other countries wouldn’t do all the work for them.

We admit that we were mostly waiting for someone else to get started, so we could eventually just hop in and contribute something for credit,” said top US scientists, after quickly closing an open laptop streaming an episode of Schitt’s Creek.

A group of acclaimed Chinese scientists released a statement onMonday after playing nearly 7 hours of NBA2K20 saying, “we were thinking we could do the easy parts, and just work off of the ideas from other countries.”

An organization of scientists from the UnitedArab Emirates said “we were able to take a look at the problem, and made aGoogle Doc to share with everyone else.”

Leaked World Health Organization messages between countries revealed that many countries communicated that they “planned on getting started with the work sooner, but things got so busy, and time just went by so quickly.”

At press time, a group from the CDC was seen asking if “anyone else could share their work, just to compare answers.”

Tom Hardy Chased Down and Detained Moped Thief in Real-Life Action Sequence

"I've caught the cunt"
Tom Hardy Chased Down and Detained Moped Thief in Real-Life Action Sequence
Hunky action star Tom Hardy's onscreen heroics were put to test in real life on the streets of London over the weekend. According to reports, he helped stop a pair of young, on-the-run moped thieves.
On Sunday (April 23), Hardy reportedly witnessed two teenagers stealing a moped and crashing it into a Mercedes at a busy intersection in the UK's capital city. One of the thieves was detained by a police officer within seconds, but when his crony made a run for it, Hardy channelled his inner Mad Max and chased him down.
Like a scene straight out of an action movie, Hardy apparently went hopping over fences and through construction sites to catch the culprit. Upon detaining the suspect, Hardy apparently proudly declared: "I've caught the cunt."
"It was mental — like he'd switched to superhero mode in an action movie," a witness named Arun Pullen told The Sun. "Two boys on the [stolen] moped had jumped a red light and smashed into a car. Tom must have been walking down the road. He went off like a shot in pursuit and looked furious."
Pullen added, "I asked Tom what happened and he told me he chased him through my back garden and caught him around the block — but the route was like an assault course."
A spokesman for the Richmond police confirmed the exhilarating chain of events.

"We can confirm that there were two people on a stolen moped that went through a red light and crashed into another vehicle," he stated. "The males ran off and one was detained by Tom Hardy."
Both suspects were taken to hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries; according to the BBC, they've been arrested on suspicion of an array of offences, including taking a vehicle without consent and theft of a motor vehicle.
Hardy, meanwhile, is gearing up for some equally exciting roles in projects like Dunkirk and Mad Max: The Wasteland.

Frank Gratkowski/Jacob Anderskov Ardent Grass

This is unabashedly music for intellectuals. Multiple reed player Gratkowski brings a commanding fluidity to every improvisation. His tone on alto sax is more classical than jazz, which may throw some improv aficionados off. They shouldn't let it, as his unflagging pantonal/atonal melodic creativity will reward repeated listening. Danish pianist Jacob Anderskov impressively keeps pace with his better-known colleague. From the opening ten-minute "Narrative," the keyboardist is an equal partner in the rapidly unfolding explorations. Anderskov hears and understands where Gratkowski is coming from and responds rapidly to pitch shifts, rhythmic typologies and shadings of dynamics. Gratkowski's bass clarinet on "Diagnose" resounds with a robust, woody resonance that Anderskov mirrors, picking up its upper frequency harmonics and working with them using icy tinkles ― thrillingly evocative. Gratkowski gets down with his bad self, letting loose with a barrage of multiphonics, growls and squeals on "Ardent Grass" while his partner lays down a ceaseless low-end bombardment of his own as counterfoil. In total, this disc is serious music by utterly sincere expert improvisers. (Red Toucan)
