The reason you’re here today with everything you have is your parents. You may have picked up a few things in life yourself, and you probably got a lot of knowledge from teachers at school. Heck, even your smartphone has probably provided you with a few gems, but your mother and father shaped you into the human being you are today. Your common sense, manners, and overall ability to get through each day are due to your parents drilling pearls of wisdom into you from the day you were born.

Time always ticks on, however, and, unfortunately, those spring chickens that taught you everything you know are getting on a little. If you’re reading this, then it probably means that you have your own family to take care of, and you’re now in the same position that we described a moment ago. Your job is to shape little, impressionable humans into fully-functioning people! You’re also tasked with making sure that your parents are still going strong – they’re not getting any younger, and things are getting difficult for them as they continually enter later stages of life.

You have a heap of priorities in your busy life, and, sadly, your parents aren’t exactly at the top of the pile, but you can still care for them. If you’d like to know a few things you could do in order to keep them happy and healthy, then read on a little more!

Remain In Frequent Contact

They say that the opposite of love is not hate; the opposite of love is apathy. Whether that’s true or not can obviously be discussed, but the feeling of not being thought about is one of great sadness, isn’t it? Now, imagine you’re much older; you struggle to do things like you used to, and those closest to you aren’t interested in even communicating with you – horrible, right? Make sure that they know they’re always in your thoughts. That kind of happiness and positivity can change someone’s entire outlook on life.

Hire Care Workers

If you have the funds to do so, then you should probably solicit help from people that know exactly what they’re doing. If you struggle with caring for fellow adults, then care services have experienced and trained professionals on board. It might seem awkward at first, but it would be the right thing to do should they need special attention. You’d also be able to pick up a few things while working with them and watching what they do.

Help Them With Their Living Situation

They’ve got to have somewhere to stay, and if they’re much older, then handling all of that stuff can be quite a pain in the backside. Try to sort out their needs in terms of their domestic life. If they need to stay at a retirement home, then take on the burden and sort out the formalities. You could even move them into your home – if you have a spare room, then it wouldn’t be a terrible idea. You could also look at the like of Willow Grove Granny Flats and gain a few ideas in terms of adding an extension and creating an entirely new place for them.

English Language Arts and Literacy in Grade 3

Third grade is a pivotal year for your child. Learning to read with fluency and confidence will serve as a foundation for the reading demands in later grades. By practicing with learning-to-read strategies, your child will reliably be able to make sense of multisyllabic words in books. He or she will come to appreciate that words have meanings that are not literal (e.g., a piece of cake) and have relationships to other words (e.g., company and companion). Recognizing and understanding words will help your child read increasingly challenging stories and books and build knowledge about the world around him or her. By the end of the year, your child also will be writing clear sentences and paragraphs on a range of topics, drawing on an expanding vocabulary.

A Sample of What Your Child Will Be Working on in Third Grade

  • Reading closely to find main ideas and supporting details in a story.
  • Comparing the most important points and key details presented in two books on the same topic.
  • Writing opinions or explanations that group related information and develop topics with facts and details.
  • Writing small moment stories that establish a situation and include details and clear sequences of events that describe the actions, thoughts, and feelings of characters
  • Asking and answering questions about information he or she hears from a speaker or while participating in classroom discussions, offering appropriate elaboration and detail that build on what others have said.
  • Reading stories and poems aloud fluently.
  • Distinguishing the literal and nonliteral meanings of words, such as something’s fishy and cold shoulder.
  • Spelling correctly and consulting dictionaries to clarify meanings of words.

Excel Tips

Excel1Figuring Out the Business Quarter From a Date

Summary: There are times when you need to figure out the business quarter in which a date falls. Here is one way of doing this:

The key to calculating the quarter is the month of the date. Here the steps to do this using an IF statement formula. Assume the date is in cell A1.

The IF statement checks the month to see if it returns the boundaries for the quarter (3,6,9,12) and then assigns the appropriate quarter. A dash and the last two digits of the year are added to the end of the quarter.

Excel2AHighlighting Duplicates

Summary: Many times you will have duplicates in a column of data. Here is a quick way to highlight the duplicates using Excel's Conditional Formatting:

Starting by highlighting the data you want to check.

  1. Select the Home Tab.
  2. Click on Conditional Formatting in the Styles Group.
  3. Click on Duplicate  Values.
  4. Select OK.
All of the duplicates will be highlighted.

Tripe is the edible stomach lining of ruminant animals.  The most popular is beef tripe.  It is high in protein, rich in vitamins and minerals, and low in carbohydrates.  Many cultures value tripe as a comfort food.

Senior Gantz advisor made obscene social media comments about Trump

Some horrifying data's turned up, showing that Ronen Tzur, a prominent advisor to leftist Benny Gantz who's accompanying him on his trip to the White House, made numerous social media posts against Donald Trump in the past few years:
A senior adviser to Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, currently accompanying Gantz on a visit to Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, has likened Trump in the past to Nazi leader Adolph Hitler and insinuated that he colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has also suggested that Trump play Russian roulette with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

In August 2017, Tzur tweeted: “Barack Hussain Obama left, Donald Adolf Trump arrived. Dying to see who comes next.”

Similarly, in March 2016, Tzur tweeted: “Donald’s next book: Mein Trump,” playing on the spelling of Trump’s name (in Hebrew, “p” and “f” are represented by the same letter).

In September 2017, during attempted negotiations between Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, Tzur tweeted, “It seems right to me to suggest a compromise between Trump and Kim Jong: Russian roulette with two bullets. What will be will be.” [...]

The Likud Party responded in a statement:

“Political ignorance and irresponsibility on the part of Benny Gantz to bring with him the White House his personal adviser Ronen Tzur, who called the U.S. President ‘Donald Adolph Trump’ and posted a long series of tweets against him on social media. Let’s hope Gantz’s irresponsibility does not hurt Israel’s national interests vis-à-vis the U.S. government.”
Tzur's attempted to do damage control, but it's just so offensive, his efforts to backtrack are for naught. The POTUS would do well to confront both Tzur and Gantz about the noxious statements made by the former when they arrive at the Oval Office. Tzur's proven an utter embarrassment and atrocity, totally bad for Israel.

History of the Bundy affair in Nevada

The Ammo website's got some history of the Cliven Bundy affair that took place in the state of Nevada back in 2014, at the time the leftist Obama administration was around. Worth reading.

Here, there and everywear: development of provenance technique for mother of pearl buttons

23rd December 2015

Celeste M. Jordan

Department of Archaeology, Flinders University, Master of Maritime Archaeology, June 2015

The principal innovation of this research is to marry hitherto dispersed approaches to the analysis of shell, nacre and mother of pearl (MOP) buttons. Previous research has concentrated on three chief areas: the Australian pearling industry; the identification and classification of buttons in the archaeological record; and elemental and isotopic analyses of shell to determine environmental factors, climate change and minimal provenancing. The present research seeks to draw on all three areas in order to investigate the potential for a new set of analytical techniques for provenancing Australian MOP products and shells from the mid-nineteenth century onwards.

Pairs of shell samples of Pinctada maxima, P. margaritifera, P. fucata, and Ptera penguin were obtained and one half of each shell pair made into buttons by George Hook & Co. One button and a sample of the unmodified control shell half for each pair were elementally tested for 20 elements using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and 13C and 18O isotopes using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). Each button was compared to its control sample and each control sample was compared to each other to try to identify if there were geochemical differences. Both analytical tests were run to ascertain whether the button manufacturing process affected the elemental or isotopic composition of the button.

It was subsequently discovered, with the current sampling strategy, that the results of both ICP-MS and IRMS were inclusive at determining if there were elemental and isotopic variations between the button and its control shell. However, there were clear differences between each control sample for both elements and isotopes, which indicates that each sample has its own geochemical signature that relates to its location of growth.

Antique Cars: How to Choose the Perfect Color

By , February 27, 2018 3:12 pm

The paint job is often the last step of car restoration, but last is not least, as the paint job is usually the first thing noticed.

antique cars, classic cars, car restoration, muscle car parts, classic car parts

Antique cars, often referred to as classic cars, are usually prized possessions of their owners. After all of mechanical work has been done to restore them to perfect working conditions, painting is usually the last step in the process.

Just because it’s the last step, however, does not mean that it’s the least important step. In fact, the painting of antique cars is quite possibly the most important undertaking of the restoration process. For, it is what gets noticed first.

Following are some handy tips to following when painting prized possessions like classic cars.

3 Ideas for Choosing the Perfect Color for Your Antique Car

This is a personal choice but should be done with care, especially if you have restored your antique car for the purpose of selling it. Just like choosing paint colors for your home, there are some definite do’s and don’ts.

Choose mainstream car colors: Black, red, white, navy blue, cream, gray, etc. These are considered traditional colors that never go out of style. They’re not trendy and are unlikely to turn off buyers like, for instance, lime green.

If you’re having a hard time deciding on a color, try one of the following to get some ideas:

(i) Go with the original color of the car: This is an easy option that is “saleable” as well. For example, your ad could read, “Lovingly restored antique car, right down to the original color.” Classic car buyers tend to like vehicles that have as much of the original look and feel of the car as possible, including the color.

(ii) Peruse classic car magazines: Again, just like home décor magazines, these provide a multitude of color ideas – quite possibly colors you never would have considered.

(iii) Ask other classic car enthusiasts: It’s always a good idea to get broad a range of opinion from those who share the antique car passion.

You can employ one or all of these tactics. While paint is not permanent, it’s not something you want to make a mistake on simply because it can be changed. Getting the color right the first time means you can sell – or start to enjoy – the car that much sooner.

The above color-choosing ideas are meant for those who wish to sell an antique car. If the car is for your personal use, then choose whatever your heart desires.

Antique Cars: How to Choose a Professional Paint Shop

Now that you’ve spent time choosing the perfect color, it’s time to choose someone to do the job. Following is some advice on choosing the right shop.

Make sure that the paint shop you choose has been in business for a while. This is important because it means they will have all of the necessary tools and equ8ipment to get the job done right.

Antique cars are prized possessions that owners want to protect from dust, grime, rust, wear and tear. A reputable paint shop will be able to give you information on the different types of paint finishes you can use to protect against all of this.

Hush (2016)

hush poster 2016 movie
7.5 Overall Score
Story: 7/10
Acting: 8/10
Visuals: 8/10

Solid, fun thriller

Movie Info

Movie Name: Hush

Studio: Intrepid Pictures

Genre(s): Horror

Release Date(s):  March 12, 2016 (South by Southwest)/April 8, 2016 (US)

MPAA Rating: R

hush kate siegel killer mask john gallagher

Cue Rockwell’s “Why Does It Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me?”

Maddie Young (Kate Siegel) is a writer with writer’s block…she can’t finish a story.  Having lost the ability to speak and hear at as a teen, Maddie has retreated to a cottage in woods to try to wrap up her novel.  When she is targeted by a man (John Gallagher Jr.) who realizes her disability, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.  Maddie is fighting for survival, and the man is looking for his next kill.

Written and directed by Mike Flanagan (with additional writing by Kate Siegel), Hush is a horror slasher thriller.  The film premiered at South by Southwest before being released on Netflix.  It received positive reviews and gained a cult following.

hush killer dead friend john gallagher jr

See…he’s not a bad guy. He brought her dead friend to see her

Hush feels like the Audrey Hepburn 1967 thriller Wait Until Dark.  In the film, Hepburn is blind and dangerous men are in her house.  Hush adds a new wrinkle to the thriller.  Sight can often be balanced with darkness…leaving Hepburn and her enemies on equal ground.  Deafness is harder to create a balance, but Hush does a solid job.

The movie realizes it has to set up a lot of reasons why Maddie can’t get help, and it does.  For much of the movie, the killer is one step ahead of Maddie, and turning the tide for Maddie is difficult.  There is a moment of almost deus ex machine involving the neighbor, but the movie flips the switch by actually having Maddie screw up what could have been a rescue.  The movie also gives some obvious head-fakes in the script, but at least ties it back into Maddie’s writing.

Kate Siegel is solid as Maddie.  She’s a good “final girl” and she do it by being strong willed while still being vulnerable.  John Gallagher starts out giving the indication that he’s going to be  a silent killer like in The Strangers, but quickly flips into a mocking killer.  He takes a beating but he gets off on the game which gives him a high.  The film uses his thrill killer approach well.

hush bathroom scene john gallagher jr kate siegel

Worst game of hide-and-seek

The movie is pretty simple visually.  It has one set and one house.  It is a bit hard to figure out the house layout as you watch the film.  There are lots of doors, lots of windows, multiple floors, and a substantial deck.  It does feel like Maddie doesn’t use her knowledge of the house to her advantage since that is one of the only obvious advantages she has.  Though I like that Gallagher Jr. becomes a different type of killer, I did really enjoy his stylized mask.

Hush is a good thriller that gets more brutal as it goes on.  The movie becomes a great psychological thriller with two very different minds facing off.  The ending (overall) isn’t very surprising because these type of movies often end as you’d expect, but it is a fun ride getting there.  Give Hush a shot!

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD in short) is when the pipework (blood vessels or arteries) which carries blood around your body becomes narrowed. Specifically your legs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients and if you don't get treatment this can damage your legs. It's a common problem that affects 1 in 100 among the 40 to 49 year olds, 3 to 5 in 100 of the 50-59 year old people, 1 in 20 of the age group of 60 to 69 years and in those over the age of 80 years it is more than 1 in 5 (and even more than 1 in 4 men of that age group).

How it develops

Arteries become narrow when lumps of fat (called plaques) deposit (stick) inside the artery wall. If the plaques break off they can cause blood clots that block the artery. This is a condition known as atherosclerosis. Normally, the artery is a hollow tube and the inside has a smooth surface for the blood to travel without any deposits (as in children and healthy young adults).

Gradually over many years, these deposits can build-up and cause the inside of the artery to narrow. This is often called 'furring up of your arteries', and its medical term of PAD is the name given to the condition when it affects the arteries of the limbs of the body, such as in the legs. However, if you have been diagnosed with PAD, it is likely that the same process will be happening in the arteries which supply your brain and heart; leaving you at higher risk of suffering a stroke or a heart attack.

What are the causes of peripheral arterial disease?

You are more likely to get PAD if you are older, if you smoke or if you have diabetes. Other things that make it more likely are if you suffer from:

  • high blood pressure (Hypertension) high Cholesterol
  • being overweight
  • not taking enough exercise

Vascular disease can also be a hereditary condition. If you have a history of vascular disease in your family, you may want to discuss this with your vascular surgeon.

At first you may not know there is anything wrong. Many people with PAD do not know they have it. But as your PAD gets worse you might get aches or cramps in your calf, thigh, foot, or buttock when you walk a certain distance. We call this intermittent claudication. These aches happen consistently at a specific distance while walking flat and only happen when you exercise, but not when first standing up or while resting. In fact, resting for a few minutes should get rid of the pain.

In some people however, the disease progresses and the amount of blood able to go down the leg is not enough to supply the nutrients and oxygen to their feet. In cases like this, you may notice your feet being paler or more red than usual and you may get pain in the skin of your feet even when you are resting in bed. This is known as rest pain and is a symptom of critical limb ischaemia.

Without nutrients and oxygen getting down into the foot, the skin is unable to function properly and can break down into a wound (ulcer) and cuts or bruises do not heal at all or fast enough.

People with very severe PAD may need to have the limb amputated.

Tests to assess if you have peripheral arterial disease

Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI): This is a method of assessing the blood supply to your feet by measuring the blood pressure of the brachial arteries in your arms and comparing it with the one in the arteries in your feet. The ABPI is the highest of the feet arteries' pressure divided by the higher of the arm pressure. If you have atherosclerosis of your leg arteries it is likely that you would have a lower blood pressure in your feet.

Treadmill Exercise Test: This test combines the ankle brachial pressure index with a treadmill test. The ABPI is performed before and after you walk on a treadmill. If you have atherosclerosis of your leg arteries, it is likely to be a lower blood pressure in your feet after exercise. This is a good test to confirm the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease. The test may not be accurate in patients with very hardened arteries (e.g. patients with long-standing diabetes mellitus, or renal patients on dialysis).

Duplex (or Triplex, or Colour Doppler) Ultrasound: Duplex ultrasound is a non-invasive investigation that uses a probe and jelly on the skin to look inside your leg and gives a picture of the anatomy of your arteries. This will show any atherosclerosis in the arteries, and whether this is causing a narrowing or blockage.

Computed tomography (CT) angiography is more detailed in its analysis for establishing diagnosis but requires intravenous contrast. It is necessary when a surgeon needs more information to establish the diagnosis or to recommend type of treatment.

Digital Subtraction Angiogram: This is an invasive test (catheterisation) that requires dye to be injected into your arteries. Once the dye is in your legs, x-rays are taken to give a picture of your legs showing where all the arteries are. This test can also be done using a modern body scan.

There are many treatments that can help improve your symptoms and reduce your chances of getting other health problems. You will probably need to take medicines every day for the rest of your life. There are also things you can do to help yourself.

- Stopping smoking. People with PAD who stop smoking are less likely to die early, have a heart attack, or need to have a limb amputated.

- Regulating high blood pressure (< 130 / 80) and blood sugar.

- Anti-platelet medication (such as aspirin which prevents blood clots forming on the atherosclerosis inside your arteries by making your blood less sticky). They also make it less likely that you will have a heart attack or stroke, die early, or need an operation to unblock an artery in your leg. The most common side effect of antiplatelet medicines is bleeding.

- Taking regular exercise (A supervised exercise training programme consists of 30 to 45 minutes per session, 3 times a week for 12 weeks). This should help you to be able to walk further and exercise for longer before you get leg pain. Exercising can improve the blood supply to your legs (as nat- ural bypass channels may form) and help the muscles of your legs to work more efficiently.

- Statins (drugs used to lower LDL cholesterol levels < 1.8 mmol/L or 70 mg/dL) might stop your PAD getting worse. These medicines can help reduce the build-up of plaques in your arteries. People with PAD who take statins are less likely to have a heart attack or stroke or to die early.

- Peripheral vasodilators (medication to relax your blood vessels and allow blood to flow more easily). These may only provide symptom relief sometimes.

- Keeping warm is important because cold weather constricts your blood vessels. Do not use decongestant medicines for colds and hay fever.

Endovascular or open surgical revascularisation

If the arteries to your leg get very narrow, you might need an operation to widen them or to bypass the most damaged parts. These are surgical interventions, minimally invasive if pos- sible (endovascular) or open surgical where appropriate. The following patients should be considered for further intervention, beyond the conservative management:

  • Patients with lifestyle-limiting claudication who continue to have limiting symptoms despite supervised training exercise
  • Patients with critical limb ischaemia symptoms (ischaemic rest pain, gangrene, non-healing wounds)
  • Patients with acute limb ischaemia (sudden decrease in limb perfusion with threatened tissue viability).

In a minimally invasive, endovascular operation, called percutaneous transluminal angiography (also known as angioplasty or PTA), a doctor uses balloons mounted on fine wires to widen the part of your artery that is blocked. He or she might then insert a small stent (artificial tube, the size of your artery), into the artery to try to keep it open. The stent there stays permanently inside the artery and gradually gets incorporated within the wall.

Another possible treatment is bypass surgery. This means either taking a small piece of a healthy vein from your leg (if suitable) or using an artificially made tube (a graft) and stitching it into your damaged artery. In this way, the blockage is “short-circuited” or bypassed, transferring blood from one end to the other, towards the legs using the new passage created.

Like any surgery, both types of operation have some risks. You should discuss the benefits and risks with your vascular surgeon before you decide together which one to go for. Ask your vascular surgeon for the more detailed patient information leaflet of the specific procedure you will be having. In some cases a combination of these methods may be used, such as in the example below:

Concerning the feelings of anti-vaxxers

Robert Moore on the respect anti-vaxxers deserve

A post about your feelings…

So, I’ve been seeing a lot of ‘I’m sorry for hurting your feelings posts’ with regards to vaccines, and I thought I’d make it clear that I’m absolutely, in no way, at all, sorry for hurting any of your feelings if you’re anti vaccination and not telling me.

You deserve to have your feelings hurt.

Your opinion, which you are absolutely entitled to, hurts children. It kills children. So I’m entitled to also have an opinion about you and your poor decision making. I’m entitled to mock you openly when I watch a video of an infant with whooping cough. Because without your beliefs on vaccines today there would be no whooping cough.

Lava Hot Springs is a community rich in western history. The abundance of natural resources in the region such as the odor-free mineral hot springs, plentiful wildlife, and water supplies attracted many American Indian tribes who welcomed the opportunity to bathe, rest and worship in an area regarded by all as neutral territory. Westward exploration and expansion brought mountain men, trappers, traders, the Oregon Trail and pioneers to the region. The coming of the railroads provided convenient transportation to the general public and Lava Hot Springs developed into a “health and recreation” area.

Python unicode and the problem with the terminal

Posted 24 May 2010 — by maxhaussler
Category linux, python

There are tons of tutorials on how to use Unicode in Python. They often fail to mention the problem of terminals. This actually applies to most programming languages that I know. If you find this boring now, I can fully understand, but once you’re obliged to work with Unicode (as we do as we’re mining scientific articles here), these things get important as they can cost a lot of time to fix and concern all places where data is input and output. You can read Unicode data from the keyboard and files into variables, no problem here.

For output, basically, it’s simple:

  • To convert a normal string (with Unicode in it) to a real unicode string (a different data type), use string.decode(“utf8”) (this is counter-intuitive to me: why is the method not called “toUnicode” or “encode” ??).
  • To convert from unicode to a normal string use string.encode(“utf8”)

If you have a normal string with unicode characters in it, you cannot print it to a terminal or write it to a file, as the default encoding of terminals and files is “ASCII” in python. It will lead to a “UnicodeDecodeError: Can’t decode byte at position xxx”, as the terminal is ASCII and string is supposed to be ASCII as well, but contains the special unicode characters. Python does not know how to display these strange characters on this terminal. There are two solutions:

  • For the terminal, tell Python that you are actually using a Unicode -capable terminal, as described here . Open files with the right “codec” as described here.
  • Alternatively:  Run the “.decode(“utf8”) method on all strings and they will display like this: u’\u0150sz’ which is not great, but at least there is no error messages anymore.

If you tell python that your terminal accepts Unicode, make sure that this is true: OSX terminal does by default, gnome-terminal does (look in Terminal – Encoding), xterm does not but can be set  to display it.

I know that you’re very eager to try this out. But if you want to test this now in your terminal, remember that if you cut-and-paste this word Ősz into your python interpreter or a source code file, although it is obvious to you that this is unicode, Python does not know what you’re thinking. You cannot write

print "Ősz"

as, again, this is supposed to be 0-127 ASCII string but the first letter is a code >127. So you either have to write u’Ősz’ or use the decode function again:

print 'Ősz'.decode("utf8")

If you don’t put yourself out there, you have zero chance

I was watching the Vuelta yesterday and enjoying Ben King finishing and thinking about the effort level when I watched his collapse after the finish line.

Chad Haga retweeted this tweet

which got me to read the piece Ben King wrote.

One of his favorite quotes was “direction, not intention, determines destination” (Andy Stanley).

From his article I take the JA philosophy of ” If you don’t put yourself out there, you have zero chance. ” as well as ” Live in the moment but keep moving forward.”

It matters to me as my training has been affected a lot this year and I do realize that speed and capacity changes every year now, in ways I can’t expect.  So I need to focus on the fact that some of this are highs and lows and to make the most of every day!

What Would Jens Do? Shut Up Legs

You have to hear the Jens “I get paid to hurt other people” Voight Soundboard.

Wait, who is Jens?  WWJD

Once when Jens put the hammer down driving the peloton, some riders just dropped off the back, others had their entire existence wiped off the time-space continuum.

A Polycomb group proteins Posterior sex combs (Psc) was identified in

A Polycomb group proteins Posterior sex combs (Psc) was identified in a genetic screen designed to get factors that can specifically induce morphological defects in mutant eyes. of dCAF-1 components CAF1p105 and Meprednisone (Betapar) CAF1p180 are increased in mutants whereas the expression level of CAF1p55 itself remains relatively unchanged. We exhibited that the increased levels of CAF1p105 and CAF1p180 are required for the hypersensitivity of mutant cells to Psc-induced cell death and for the developmentally regulated cell death normally observed in mutant eyes. We propose that and are important determinants of cell death sensitivity in mutant cells and contribute to the genetic conversation between and 1986). pRB is usually conserved across metazoans Meprednisone (Betapar) and regulates a number of important developmental processes including proliferation apoptosis and cell-type specification (van den Heuvel and Dyson 2008). The role of pRB in cell-cycle regulation is usually well-studied and occurs through its conversation with E2F transcription factors in G1 to regulate the expression of E2F target genes. pRB Meprednisone (Betapar) activity is usually modulated through the tightly controlled phosphorylation of Ser and Thr residues by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Hyperphosphorylated pRB is usually inactive and unable to bind E2F transcription factors. Importantly the pRB/E2F pathway is usually altered in the majority of human cancers either by lesions at the pRB locus or by the functional inactivation of pRB via CDK \hyperactivation or CDK inhibitor inactivation. In mice loss of pRB results in uncontrolled cell proliferation apoptosis and changes in cell fate (Calo 2010; Clarke 1992; Jacks 1992; Lee 1992; Macleod Meprednisone (Betapar) 1996). Although pRB inactivation is an initiating event in the development of many different types of tumors cells must accrue additional changes to form aggressive tumors. For example p53 is usually another tumor suppressor protein whose activity is commonly inactivated in malignancy (Vogelstein 2000). Even in retinoblastomas where genetic lesions in the gene are not found a negative regulator of 1996; Laurie 2006). Interestingly a recent study showed that human retinoblastomas contain many epigenetic changes such as histone modifications and DNA methylation at the genomic loci of genes involved in multiple signaling pathways (Zhang 2012). The same study also demonstrated that this expression of spleen tyrosine kinase (a potential therapeutic target (Zhang 2012). Overall both genetic and epigenetic changes occur during retinoblastoma development and likely cooperate with pRB mutations to promote cancer progression. Therefore identifying factors that can cooperate with pRB deficiency may improve our understanding of pRB mutant malignancy cells. Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are epigenetic repressors that maintain gene silencing of important regulators of development such as Hox genes. PcG protein form evolutionary-conserved multimeric polycomb repressive complex 1 and polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) that can function together to silence PcG target genes (Simon and Kingston 2009). Rabbit Polyclonal to GPR142. In 2005). Interestingly BMI-1 the mammalian homolog of Psc is usually a known oncogene whose upregulation correlates with poor prognosis in a number of cancers (Guo 2011; Qin 2009; Track 2010). Other PcG genes are also found to be deregulated in cancers highlighting the importance of the PcG-mediated epigenetic profile during tumorigenesis (Sparmann and van Lohuizenn 2006). A PRC2 component CAF1p55 is also part of several other chromatin-associated protein complexes such as nucleosome remodeling factor NuRD desire/MMB and a histone chaperone complex chromatin assembly factor-1 (dCAF-1). CAF1p55 seems to function as a noncatalytic component of these complexes by promoting chromatin association through binding to histones H3 and H4 (Nowak 2011; Track 2008). In particular the dCAF-1 complex which is composed of CAF1p55 CAF1p180 and CAF1p105 is an important H3/H4 histone chaperone that deposits H3/H4 dimers onto newly synthesized DNA during DNA replication and repair (Eitoku 2008). Given the presence of CAF1p55 in multiple chromatin-binding complexes alteration in CAF1p55 activity may impact histone homeostasis and global gene expression. However the mechanism by which CAF1p55 activity is usually regulated is largely unknown. In 2002). provides an excellent genetic system for studying the pRB/E2F pathway in a developmental context. Particularly eye development in flies may be used to display screen for defects in cell survival proliferation and conveniently.

Do I Have Too Many Clothes?

I do it on a regular basis. I’m guessing you probably do it too. You stand in your closet (which is full of clothes) and think “I have nothing to wear.” Whenever I say it out loud, my husband makes some sort of noise – a cross between a snort and a sigh – and then proceeds to point out things that still have the tags on them. I inevitably pass up those items and turn to an old standby instead.

It seems that I’m not alone. According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, only 20% of the clothes in the average person’s closet are worn on a regular basis. But why? An article on Inside Out Style gives numerous reasons as to why – from keeping garments way too long to holding on to clothes that don’t fit and on and on. But when I read reason number 7, I realized this was me. The author, Imogen Lamport, says, “You have lots of clothes, but they’re all the same, 20 pairs of black trousers, 2 dozen pairs of jeans…….you keep buying the same garment over and over, but forget about creating outfits.”

It’s an interesting diagnosis given my propensity to hate clutter and habit of getting rid of stuff. Why can I not apply the same logic to my closet? I fear to get the answer to this question might require therapy. But the bottom line is this – I just need to purge. The best way to do this is to take emotion out of it and just attack my closet using these three questions:

Does it fit in with my daily life?

Do I love it?

Is it comfortable?

If I can answer yes to all three, then I need to ask myself this additional question if I have multiples of the same thing – how many do I really need? Then the rest I need to donate. Period. If you have a similar problem, you might want to give it a try as well. Even better, if you’ve overcome the ‘too many clothes but nothing to wear syndrome’, please share your tips. You can do so below or on Facebook, Twitter, or G+.

Teaching Naturalism and Conservation

Seeing as the natural environment as we know it is coming to an abrupt end (thanks Al Gore), and seeing as it's our generations fault (thanks SUVs), I believe it is our responsibility to try our best to teach our children about nature and conservation (while we still can). With this in mind, I took the girls on a little nature walk during an unusually sunny and warm February day (thanks SUVs, no really thanks).

Mae Mae enjoyed playing peek-a-boo behind the evergreen trees and eating bark. Ava, who perhaps better understands the complexity of her generation's plight, but does not have the vocabulary to adequately express herself...beat the tree with a plastic baseball bat.Just to think, 50 years ago that bad would have been made from wood and probably from that tree.

THE MASK Restoration Hits TIFF this October

Essential Canuxploitation 3-D classic THE MASK (1961) rarely gets pulled out the vault for a theatrical screening, but lucky Torontonians will get the chance to “put their masks on now” once again this Halloween during a run of screenings starting October 23, 2015 (tickets available here). Even better, TIFF and the 3-D Film Archive have given the film a much-needed digital restoration, and this is one of the first opportunities audiences will have to experience Canada’s earliest genre success the way it was meant to be seen on the big screen.

Julian Roffman’s THE MASK is the tale of a psychiatrist who becomes obsessed with an ancient tribal mask that, when worn, sends him to a nightmare world of snakes, fireballs and ritualistic sacrifices. What’s worse, the mask starts to drive the good doctor insane who starts to violently attack people in the real world. Canuxplotiation highly recommends that you catch THE MASK’s eye-popping 3-D effects in a theatrical setting before the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release coming in November.

The TIFF screening screening series sponsored by Rue Morgue magazine and coincides with the debut of this incredible poster deign by Ghoulish Gary Pullin.

Motion Picture Purgatory: TWO WOMEN IN GOLD (1970)

The Montreal-led “maple syrup porn” trend of the 1970s is one of the most curious sexploitation offshoots of Canadian film history, and its biggest hit was Claude Fournier’s TWO WOMEN IN GOLD (1970), a film about horny housewives and their cheatin’ husbands reportedly viewed by more than two million Canadian during its theatrical run. Rick Trembles looks at the film’s celebration of the then-dwindling sexual revolution for this month’s MOTION PICTURE PURGATORY. Rick sez:

Taliban kill 4 police in Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan official says a nighttime Taliban attack on a security outpost has killed four policemen in the country\'s west.

Police chief Sharafuddin Sharaf said on Thursday that the attack the previous night took place in the Bla Murghab district of Badghis province.

Sharaf says the Taliban tried to storm the security outpost, triggering a three-hour-long gunbattle and killing four members of the local police force.

Three policemen were also wounded in the attack.

The attack was the latest in a wave of violence across Afghanistan as the Taliban intensify their campaign ahead of the U.S.-led foreign forces\' withdrawal from the country in 2014.

Marvell showcases Kinoma Play UI for Android, announces PXA978 chipset with 1.2GHz CPU

Marvell announced a cool new chip – the Marvell PXA978 is a single chip but combines all the functionality needed for a phone. A fast 1.2GHz application processor, GPU, video decoder/encoder and so on.

The chip also works as a 3G modem and it supports both UMTS (that’s regular 3G), TD-SCDMA (that’s Chinese 3G) and HSPA speeds too…

Marvell claims that the PXA978 chip is the first in the world to support both UMTS and TD-SCDMA, which might be so but TD-SCDMA is pretty much limited to China and they’ve forgotten about those CDMA networks around the world.

Anyway, the chip has a 1.2GHz processor, “advanced 3D graphics” (they didn’t quote performance values) and also 1080p media (it’s unclear if that’s decoding or encoding). Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11n is supported with multiple antennas for faster data rates.

The chip supports all leading OSes.

Marvell also showcased the Kinoma open source software platform. The first product built on Kinoma is Kinoma Play – and they’ll be showing a beta version for Android.

Kinoma Play fully replaces the user interface and has some really cool up its sleeve – like the unified search from different platforms or how video plays seamlessly even when you minimize the video player to a menu icon.

See it here in action:

Kinoma Play is currently available for Windows Mobile (5.0 and up) and also Symbian S60. But it’s the Android beta that is the really interesting one.

    Have no clue if it will be good or not, but as someone who owns and regularly re-watches not only the BBC (Ehle/Firth) miniseries version as well as the film Keira Knightley version but also the 1980 BBC miniseries version with Elizabeth Garvie I thought I would give it a go.

Flirting: Dying Art and Key Ingredient to a Great Relationship and Marriage

Do you flirt with your partner? If not, it’s no wonder she’s bored! Flirting is the gateway to attraction, fun and excitement, and in a woman’s eyes, a mark of a real man!

Before we start, I’d like to remind everyone that our forum (
http://forum.makingherhappy.com) has been open now for a year, and I noticed that, as seems to be the norm for forums, a minority are posting. The few who have posted have said some truly useful things and/or presented problems that led to others posting very useful things, so you really need to join us.

I’d also like to point out that forums are often an excellent example of “what not to do” as a guy. Need I point out that it is this very kind of timid, wait-for-somebody-else-to-lead attitude that has gotten most of you into your relationship problems and the very reason you are here is to overcome it?

I’ll also point out that the easiest way to get over being timid around people you know is to talk with strangers. They don’t know you, and in an anonymous environment like a forum, they can’t meet you or know anything about you if you don’t tell them, so you have nothing to lose by just diving in, introducing yourself to the group, and striking up a conversation. That’s why groups like Toastmasters are so popular. You don’t have to know anybody, don’t have to use your real name unless and until you’re ready, and don’t have to disclose anything about yourself. You just stand up and talk about whatever you want to talk about, and grow comfortable as you do so.

So why wait for everyone else to do it before you join in? Why not distinguish yourself as a leader by being among the first? I hear a lot of people using the term “baby steps,” and it makes me a little nutty because I’m a “grab it and growl” kind of guy, but THIS is a perfect “baby steps” type of opportunity to start turning a new page and taking a little initiative. Now get in there and get on the stick. I spent about four months putting it together, and those of us participating have spent months populating it with useful information, so you can at least spend a few minutes introducing yourself and exploring.

I also want to remind everybody that my free Break-up Busting 101 course is still available at http://forum.makingherhappy.com/showthread.php/144-Free-Reports!, so get it and pass it around before I take it offline. If you haven’t read it, I strongly suggest you do so, because the primary causes of break-ups are not affairs and other problems; those are merely symptoms of other underlying problems, like boredom and gross incompatibility.

Knowing how these root causes of problems work and how to cure them can keep you out of trouble even easier than they can get you out of trouble, and spending a half-hour or so to read that report is definitely worth everyone’s while. And my free and highly-informative “What Women REALLY Want” report is still available, too, at the same link as the other one I just offered you.

Today, we’re going to talk about a dying (and for the vast majority of you reading this, DEAD) art, flirting. In a world seemingly bent on instant gratification, speed dating and speed seduction techniques appear to have supplanted good old fashioned conversation and flirting in the dating world, and believe it or not, that’s a bad thing, and losing the knack of flirting in a committed relationship or marriage is even worse, an invitation to absolute disaster! Why?

Flirting is a series of steps before seduction. It ranges from general poking and chiding a woman to get her smiling to a playful way of ambiguously using naughty but nebulous innuendo to ease into seduction later. Joking about “floppy drives and hard drives” in a way that can be construed as talking about arousing a man instead of speaking directly of the arousal is a good example. But why is it so important and why would you want to do it with your wife or girlfriend of many years?

For the same reason you would want to do it if you were single! First, flirting is extremely complimentary without being a wussy, kiss-ass kind of maneuver. It says, “I noticed you, and want to have fun with you.” Women live for stuff like that to break up or escape the boredom of their lives, and appreciate it when ANYBODY does it for them. So if you’re not the top flirt in her life, you can bet that somebody else will be applying for the position whether she awards it to somebody else or not.

Do you want to take that chance, especially when neutralizing that risk requires you only to do something that’s totally fun and leads to a “heated exchange” (damned spam filters! LOL!) in the bedroom? I should think not!

(You will see me mentioning female boredom until you’re sick of hearing it, but it is a HUGE problem. It’s one that we were never told about growing up and one that some women think we already know about while others don’t realize it themselves, so you need to be an expert in identifying and fixing it if you want to get along well with women, let alone live happily with one or more of them.)

Second, it can be used to transition from almost any mental state to a playful mood, which is extremely beneficial in everything from diffusing a fight to waking up your partner’s “urges,” since the leap from flirting to seduction is a simple transition from ambiguously naughty to directly naughty.

Even without seduction as the end game, flirting is still a most-excellent chance for your inner child to come out and play with her inner child. That’s how you have intimate fun that is non-sexual in nature, the adult version of “child’s play,” and don’t let anyone tell you that playing with your wife is silly or unnecessary. If the two of you can’t play together, you’ll find out at some point that you can’t live together, either.

If you’re not flirting with your girlfriend or wife, you’re causing both of you to miss out on a whole lot of fun, both inside and outside the bedroom. It is truly the gateway to fun and excitement, and one of the easiest ways in the world to stir up attraction if done correctly, and in case you haven’t heard, it’s attraction, not love, that keeps the sheets warm, worn and wrinkled; love is what keeps you sleeping on the same sheets and talking the next morning. (And again, the relationship emotions are often very misunderstood, thanks to programming and poetic liberties, and you can get the facts and truth concerning them in that free “Break-Up Busting 101” report I mentioned earlier.)

Relationships start going stale and sour when things like flirting and naughty play start to wane. Maybe you got lazy, maybe you got stressed out, maybe you forgot how, or maybe you just did it naturally at that time and really didn’t understand how important it was and what it was that you were doing that really flipped her switches. Check with some of the men on our forum if you have any doubt at all about the damage that is done when you fail play with your wife on a daily basis. It can get really bad, especially if she enters mid-life crisis, but in most cases, it’s fixable, as long as you’ve not let it go so far that another man has created attraction within her.

What you need to know is waiting for you in my e-book, "THE Man’s Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage," which you can easily download right now at http://www.makingherhappy.com, and start reawakening fun and excitement that neither of you have felt in too long. Or maybe you’d like to waste a few more years of your life waiting for things to get better on their own? They don’t just get better; you have to DO SOMETHING about them to MAKE THEM BETTER, and this is your best shot, so take it.

In the meantime, live well, be well, and have a wonderful day!

Foodbuzz Festival 2012

This post is long overdue. I’m afraid I won’t do this event justice by waiting so long to write about it. I’ll just try to bring myself back to that weekend by conjuring the taste of Mission Minis cupcakes, TCHO chocolate, fresh Alaska Seafood, and all the other fabulous things I consumed.

Foodbuzz may no longer be Foodbuzz but their annual blogger festival in San Francisco lives on. When we moved to SF last year, I was thrilled to finally be in the same city as the festival. As a local, how could I not attend?

Last year I was very overwhelmed by all the people and blogger cliques that seemed impenetrable to me. I didn’t last through all the events that weekend because I was discouraged about how my blog compared to everyone else’s. That experience and the severe lack of effort I’d been putting into my blog over the past few months made me somewhat wary of this years festival. Would I end up feeling inadequate and isolated again? I figured I’d either be really discouraged by the whole thing and quit blogging altogether, or really inspired and reinvigorated by the experience.

Things turned out somewhere in between those two scenarios. I did two things differently that made a huge difference in how much I enjoyed myself this time around. First, I skipped the initial cocktail/greeting event on Friday night. Last year this was the scariest part of the whole thing for me. I didn’t know anyone, and I have a tough time in large crowds of people where everyone seems to be grouped-up already. As a non-drinker, cocktails and appetizers have never really been my thing.

The second change I made was who I brought with me to the events I did attend. Last year I took my husband to the Taste Pavillion. Since there were no conference sessions this time around, the Taste Pavillion was the first part of the festival I attended on Saturday. I brought a friend from work who share a lot of my taste in food and appreciates local companies, which made up most of the exhibitors.  She and I had a blast sampling products and talking to company reps. It also helped that I hadn’t been to a big dinner even the night before, unlike last year.

I was a complete flake of a food blogger and didn’t take a single picture at the Taste Pavillion. I would apologize to all the exhibitors whose products I sampled but didn’t promote on my blog with a photo-ridden recap post but it’s not like I’m a big name blogger with lots of readers to influence. Sorry. Now I’m getting cynical. Back to the positive.

The festival shwag bag was awesome this year! Each blogger got an entire NatureBox full of healthy snacks (which I am already enjoying)! There were also plenty of California Walnuts to go around – so…delicious…

It was great having a friend to split samples with (I didn’t have room for an entire biscuit of each flavor Biscuit Bender had to offer, delicious as they were) and there was truly some wonderful food on hand. I was really impressed with all the Alaska Seafood offerings. The fish was fresh and perfectly un-fishy. Sonoma Brinery pickles and sauerkraut were definitely a favorite and I will be looking for LickPops at the SOMA Street Food Park next time I’m there (winter or not).

I know I live in the best food city ever (dont’ even argue) but all the local food businesses at the Taste Pavillion were still a welcome surprise. I really admire the hard work and dedication it must take to start a food-related business and I don’t think I realized how many of the brands I love come from the Bay Area. Did you know that Numi Tea is from the East Bay and  family owned Sola Bee Farms is making sustainably harvested honey in Petaluma?

I didn’t expect to have so much to say about the Foodbuzz Festival! I guess I’ll have to continue with the gala dinner in a second post!

17 Firefox Extensions That Make Blogging Easy

The great thing about the Firefox browser is when you have a problem, there is usually a solution in the form of an extension. As a blog writer, I’ve been using a few that smooth out the experience and get rid of a few annoyances.

Here are a few suggestions.

Google Notebook – Highlight the content you want to save, Note it with this extension. You can organize different ‘notebooks’ with their own sections. Each note will have a link back to the original website.

Session Manager – Great for doing research and rounding up a few sources. Save the session of tabs so you can come back to them later.

coComment – Keep tracks of comments you’ve left on other websites. This is particularly useful if the comment section is providing more resources than the actual post content.

Speak It – Have articles read out to you so you can do the dishes while researching. Not to be used while at the computer – speed reading = productivity. This extension uses the Microsoft TTS Engine.

DocuFarm – This is a cool extension that previews word, PDFs etc within Firefox. It comes with a search, which you can also use to search PDFs!

Scribefire – Performancing.com’s popular split-browser blog editor. Multiple blog management, categories and simple source editing. FTP Uploads are available but buggy. No good image support.

Deepest Sender – Very similar to ScribeFire, these two extensions lack greater features like image uploading, time-stamp editing and compatible tagging. Both are very easy to set up.

Resizable Text Area – If you stick with your regular blog editor, such as WordPress, this extension comes in handy to resize the text area quickly and freely.

Spellbound & Google Toolbar – Inline spell-check, ala Microsoft Word. Use the extension or Google Toolbar’s built-in spell-checker. Both work great. Superseded by Firefox 2’s built in spell check.

Tabinta – turns the Tab Button to a text editor spacing tab rather than cycling through the web forms. Only interacts with the text area, otherwise does the regular Firefox tabbing.

Split Browser – Great when copy and pasting content and URLs, this extension makes it easy to split any tab any which way. Put your editor in a ‘sidebar’ and continue surfing the other tabs in the other pane.

Copy Plain Text – This is a can’t-live-without extension for me. When I copy text, I don’t want any of the original site’s formating, links or text-link-ads to be copied over as well. Just the text. That’s what this extension does.

Copy As HTML Link – Use this extension in conjunction with Copy Plain Text to create links for your posts. Only make links when you want with the text you want.

Web Developer – Other than View Source and those functions, Web Developer is great for getting image information like size etc. If a site is making it hard to get access to their images, use the View Image Information button to get all the images and their links. Respect copyright.

Snagit – to use with the SnagIt image capture application, this extension just makes it easy to start grabbing screenshots while still in Firefox.

Picnik – this web based app trumps SnagIt in many respects. With the Picnik extension you can grab a screenshot of the visible page, or the entire page, with one click. The same goes with any images on the web, including a button at Flickr.com.

Picnik is also a very good image editor. I don’t use anything else to edit images for articles. You can take any photo, from your computer, Flickr or Picasso account, or anywhere on the web, and start editing without downloading anything to your computer.
