Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies

One of the biggest frustrations of living in a space with limited light is the seemingly impossible task of keeping your houseplants happy. While all plants do need light to survive, even those with a shortage of natural light are in luck if they know what to shop for.

The easiest way to determine what will do well is to look to the plant's natural conditions. Succulents, cacti and other desert dwellers are best suited to sunny spots, while anything that naturally grows on the forest floor, under a canopy, or thrives in shade is a candidate for lower light situations.

Here are a few fool-proof options for low light apartments:

1. Snake plant (Sansevieria Trifasciata)
This is my favorite pick for the darker corners of my own apartment. It has a sculptural appearance, adds a bit of green, and seems to thrive on neglect.

2. Spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum)
A popular houseplant when I was growing up, these interesting plants self propagate by sending out off-shoots, do well when their roots are crowded, and can thrive in low light conditions.

3. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
A hardy plant that can tolerate both low light and watering neglect, the ZZ plant is great for those with a less than green thumb.

4. Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena Sanderiana)
Adaptable bamboo is a great fit for dim rooms, and is inexpensive and easy to come across.

5. Peace Lilly (Spathiphyllum Wallisii)
Known as a great plant for improving indoor air quality, the Peace Lilly is also one of the few low-light friendly options that produces flowers.

Renovation Diary

Okay, the countertops finally made it in, but I'm not thrilled with the work. Shocking I know, but hear me out:

Reason 1:The seam looks really messy. The installer said that it was because marble was a difficult substance to work with. After I complained (more), they offered to send out a buffer to take out the scratches and make the line look better. Sorry about the bad photo, but see what you think:

Reason 2: After everything that went down this month, the manager finally told me that they went off the sink template I provided them, which resulted in the now famous positive reveal. I'm not sure I believe them, but it's done and I am stuck with it. You can see the glue that adheres the sink to the underside of the marble. I don't know if that's normal, but I know it's not very pretty.

On a side note, a ceiling fan almost killed me this week; it just fell off the ceiling in the empty condo where I'm staying. It was on, so when it fell, it actually flew sideways about five feet before it landed. Oh, and it broke and knocked a hole in the wall. Awesome.

I had just been sitting under it about a minute before. Which means I've now added ceiling fans (along with barracuda and karaoke) to my top five list of all-time fears.

But I digress.

All this to say....we are in the final stretch! After the backsplash, we just have to put up the last remaining light fixtures, hang cabinet doors, affix knobs, etc... You know the drill. Next week I hope to have the final photos for you, with everything put together and purty.

Fragerance Free: Do Not Wear Cologne’s Perfumes

From my Doctor’s office. with a bonus spelling error:

2012-02-07_16-04-41_48.jpg (1 MB)

(Thanks, Keith!)

Posted in Uncategorized.

Chesterton says:

Maybe the only perfumes they are banning are ones from Cologne (aka Köln) in Germany?

Raff Lagatta says:

they are giving away a free office which is filled with fragerence.

Daniel says:

Fragerance? What’s a fragerance? And why is there no hyphen between fragerance and free, to denote one idea? (Fragrance-free.)

fragERance has extra stank on it! So, I guess the cologne is owning the perfume here. Oh, the apostrophe abuse!

Nova puts career-worst day behind him

6:24 PM, Nov. 10, 2012
  • Filed Under

After setting a school record with six interceptions last time out and suffering through two weeks of criticism for throwing away the Rutgers football team's undefeated season, the last thing that quarterback Gary Nova needed was to be accidentally framed as the goat of another upset loss.

Of course, Miles Shuler's intentions were nothing of the sort Saturday afternoon when he tipped a pass straight up in the air for an interception with the score tied in the fourth quarter. Nova knew as much, and it is the reason he pulled Shuler aside on the sideline and took the blame - rather than asserting ...

Fox News

Fox News achieves 10x ROI with AppDynamics in first year

Fox News is one of the largest news websites in the United States with up to a billion page views every month. New content is constantly being uploaded to its content management system (CMS) and delivered on the website via Fox's delivery system. In addition, Fox News provides an API that feeds content to other websites for distribution of its content.

Challenge: Temporary solutions couldn't fix ongoing production problems

Fox News had ongoing production issues for nearly two years before they began looking for an application performance management (APM) tool. “The system was a complete disaster,” said Ryan Jairam, System Administrator at Fox News. Sometimes transactions would take up to 5 minutes to return from the database, and that could have a severe impact on the rest of the application. Solving these problems with nothing more than log files was often impossible. So Jairam and his team did what they could to reduce the effects of long-running transactions on the rest of their application. When they first noticed a performance problem, they'd restart the application, which would only solve the problem temporarily. When it came back, they'd file a support ticket with the vendor and ask their developers to take a thread dump for analysis. Meanwhile, they'd use caching to reduce the number of executions of long-running transactions. “We used Squid to create really long cache times, which helped while we were troubleshooting the problem,” Jairam said. However, exhausting the cache created a different set of problems at Fox News. “Since we had to empty the cache once it became stale, we actually created tools that would listen for new RSS feed content, and automatically flush the cache,” he said. “It was terrible, but it worked.” Application problems were amplified with new releases or enhancements. Jairam and a team of system administrators and developers would often dedicate up to 12 hours troubleshooting after a major software release. Upgrades in the CMS and delivery systems sometimes took a week or more of dedicated resources to stabilize the system. Eventually the Fox News team decided they needed a tool that would streamline new deployments and alleviate the burden of incessant firefighting.

AppDynamics managed performance in a high-volume production environment

Jairam had several different tools to manage applications before—some were written in-house, others had too much overhead for the environment. Jairam and his team searched for an APM tool that was fit for a high-volume production environment, and found AppDynamics. The AppDynamics APM solution provided Jairam and his team visibility into performance issues, even with remote web service calls. “We have a whole new level of visibility we didn't have before,” Jairam said. “We can see now when our service providers aren't meeting their SLAs and causing our performance to degrade.” For example, an outage with a search provider once caused publishing to hang. “Our CMS vendor couldn't tell what the issue was,” Jairam said. “But almost immediately after looking at our AppDynamics solution we could see that the feeds to our search service provider were down.” In order to remedy the problem, Jairam and his team temporarily bypassed the search feeds, freeing up more computing resources for the rest of the application.

Nearly $165K per year in productivity saved

Troubleshooting application errors at Fox News improved dramatically after installing the AppDynamics platform. Minor code changes that used to take a team of five employees a day to fix now took one person minutes to resolve. Larger system changes, like an application upgrade, would take only a few hours, versus a full week. With the AppDynamics platform in place, Fox News estimated productivity savings of nearly $165K per year. In addition, the AppDynamics platform helped significantly reduce the volume of support tickets coming to Jairam's office. “We used to have six or seven support tickets a day about our applications,” he said. “Now we only have one or two per week, if any, and 99% of those are user error. We've had weeks where we didn't have any.” AppDynamics drastically changed application performance management at Fox News. “It's been a complete night and day difference here,” Jairam said. “Now we have time to focus on new things and not just fight fires all day.”

We used to have six or seven support tickets a day about our applications. Now we only have one or two per week, if any, and 99% of those are user error. We've had weeks we don't have any.

iFlexis Review

By , on July 3, 2010

Download on the AppStore
4 out of 5

  • Rubbery, experimental three-match-come-Tetris gameplay.
  • Quick, responsive physics engine.

  • No online scoreboards.
  • Traditional arcade modes need to be unlocked.

iFlexis is a lot of fun, with its jiggling, rubberized pieces that perfectly slip and collide on screen, but it can add an otherwise unwanted random element for some puzzle fans.

  • Full Review
  • App Store Info

Wrapping your head around iFlexis by Thumbstar Games is a little hard, but if you were to combine Tetris with bouncy physics and a three-match game you'd at least be in the right vicinity.

At first glance, the comparison to Tetris is immediately apparent, with familiarly shaped block configurations of various colors descending in to place at the bottom of the screen. However, once the objects are touched they come to life with a bouncy rubbery feel that can be swung around your finger or bounced around the screen. This makes it hard to slot pieces together in a traditional sense, ending up with many pieces lying in a random pile. Once three colors come in to contact you can quickly flick, bounce or squeeze other colors to join the match.

A lot of excessive detail has gone in to iFlexis' interface, with a modern steel construction and detailed icons clashing with the simple rubberized game pieces. Unlocking the Classic and Marathon arcade-style modes requires pushing your way through the Mission mode, which provides players with objectives to complete such as matching certain colors or a large chain to continue.

It's hard to fall in love with iFlexis as the gameplay can feel excessively random, especially when you develop a pile that you can randomly jiggle just to pass a level. For some, this experimental style will certainly click and add a lot of fun to an otherwise rigid genre, but for others like myself sometimes all you want is a solid experience.

The Acid Alkaline Diet is designed to help readers understand if they are experiencing acid problems, how to lower body acidity through diet and eliminate and neutralize existing acids in the body.

Here are some of the benefits that we can get from an alkaline diet:

- You will lose weight and will prevent obesity. It is not surprising that having an alkaline diet is really the best way to lose weight. We must know that acid foods such as meat, rice and dairy products, contribute to fat accumulation in the body. Therefore, we must avoid acid forming foods and eat more of the alkaline foods. Acid alkaline diet book will inform you about the alkaline and acid foods.

- You will be free from any illness. Do you wonder why you feel pain when you are not being conscious of the kinds of foods that you are eating? Undeniably, Western diets are mostly composed of acid foods such as meat, dairy products and other processed foods.

As a result, the number of people who are getting sick and bothered by serious illnesses gets high. This is because acid forming foods do not do good to our heart, liver and other important organs in our body. Our body organs are damaged because of too much acid food intake and therefore pH balance is not maintained.

- You will be able to live life to the fullest! Everyone surely wants to have the best life! It is not difficult to do it as long as you know how to take good care of your health by having the right food choices. Eat more of alkaline foods than acid foods.

Based on Eastern medicinal practices, The Acid-Alkaline Diet advocates a sensible food-combination program in conjunction with herbal medicine therapies to balance the positively charged acidic particles in the body with the negatively charged particles. This simple plan can aid in curing a wide range of medical problems including arthritis, insomnia, alcoholism, lung disorders, kidney disease, and much more. Organized by medical condition, this book makes it easy to quickly find the help and advice you need. There’s also a practical test you can administer to help determine your metabolic type: grain eating, meat eating, or balanced.

Forget the traditional notions of a well-balanced diet; for many, this well-balanced diet is the cause of various illnesses. Here at last are alternatives for those who have used the “four food groups” strategy of nutrition but still ended up with health problems. Discover how The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet will help you lead a healthier, longer life. So start watching what you eat. get Acid Alkaline Diet book from a credible expertright away.

Acme Bag Company Case Settles for $2,250.00

This page last reviewed October 25th, 2013.

In August, Acme Bag Company paid $2,250.00 for violating air quality regulations: $1,688.00 was paid to the Air Resources Board, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $562.00 was paid the Peralta Colleges Foundation to fund emission education classes conducted by participating California community colleges, under the California Council for Diesel Education and Technology (CCDET) program.

An investigation by the Air Resources Board (ARB) showed that Acme Bag Company failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke emission standards; and failed to timely report all required information for all vehicles in the fleet for which they elected to utilize the compliance options/credits/provisions of the Truck & Bus Regulation; ARB documented violations as they related to the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP), and the Truck & Bus Regulation. To settle the case, Acme Bag Company agreed to the $2,250.00 penalty and to comply with the PSIP, Truck & Bus, and other ARB programs.

    Promoting Vocations with our Children

    As the youngest of seven boys, it was only natural for my parents to encourage us to be open to the vocation to the priesthood.  My parent’s attitude was, “If we have that many boys, at least one of them has to be a priest!”

Working Detail: New Stobhill Hospital ACAD by Reiach and Hall Architects and SKM Anthony Hunts

[WORKING DETAIL 25.06.09] Atrium roof detail

New Stobhill Hospital − Instead of a simple glazed roof over the atrium of the New Stobhill Hospital, specific zones introduce different levels of natural light. To maximise the quality and level of daylight and to stop structural bracing diminishing the spatial clarity, this design required careful and detailed resolution.

To avoid friction forces and optimise the structure, a conventional sliding joint was abandoned in favour of a strut contained within one leg of the portal frame. The strut, inspired by the prop shaft of the project engineer’s Morris Minor, was connected at the top and bottom using universal joints to allow free movement.

The primary source of light is a continuous north-facing 3.5m-deep clerestory at roof level. Accents and animation are introduced by admitting controlled light by other means. The horizontal plane of the ceilingscape is relieved by a line of baffles day-lit from above. A narrow clerestory to the south bounces light on to the edge of the ceiling and admits occasional sunlight.

The vertical north clerestory has ‘hockey stick’ steel ribs that turn over to become a horizontal narrow rooflight, directing watery reflections into the space. West and east gables are glazed, bringing shifts in the personality of the lightscape from sunrise to sunset.

The use of standard curtain walling for the roof glazing required a slope of 15°, turning the surface towards the sun and increasing the reflections. The central rooflights are, in fact, smoke vents required for the fire strategy, with transparent louvres.

Andy Law, project director at Reiach and Hall, and John Robson, technical director at SKM Anthony Hunts

Home Dining Restaurants Agustin Bistro Opens in Tucson

Agustin Bistro Opens in Tucson

E-mail Print PDF

Pin it

Agustin Brasserie has settled into Mercado San Agustín and brought with it some very fine French cuisine to Tucson’s downtown dining scene.

If a 12-hour flight across the pond is a little too far to satisfy your craving for French fare, Southern Arizona’s own bistro is finally just down the street. Deep wood tones and crisp white walls mimic the décor of old European brasseries, and casual elegance pairs perfectly with the classic bistro selections. Step out of Tucson and into your own French getaway at Agustín Brasserie.

Start with a traditional vichyssoise, made with chilled potato leek and chives, or the French onion soup garnished with gruyère. Or perhaps a larger appetite may call for a larger platter. Le Grand Plateau presents a shellfish spread of split king crab legs, giant shrimp, mussels, raw scallops and oysters of your choice. But try not to spoil your hunger yet—they’re only getting started.

For the main course, Agustín offers a variation of succulent entrées and ingredients so fresh that many are purchased from the weekly farmer’s market. Try the traditional duck confit, topped with a cherry demi-glaze and served with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. House favorite Skuna Bay salmon is lightly seasoned and perfectly seared, accompanied by crisp hericot verts and mashed potatoes in a creamy beurre blanc. Burger lovers find bliss in Agustín’s black and blue burger. Fresh beef is crusted in black peppercorn and topped with tomato and bacon jam, red onion, Roquefort and butter lettuce, served with a side of frites.

But what would a French brasserie be without le vin et fromage? Agustín’s cheese plate offers daily selections served with nuts, local mesquite honey, dried fruits and crostini, while the extensive wine list offers the finest selections for any palette. From the brut and cuvée of the French champagne regions to the bold malbecs and cabernets, the perfect cheese and glass of wine compliment the perfect French cuisine.

Forget what you've heard — Highland Christian football returns in '09

I just got off of the phone with Highland Christian football coach Pete Miller, and he confirmed that rumors of the program’s demise are greatly exaggerated

Still, the program will have more challenges than usual this year, including the departure of some key players: seven would-be starters transferred to other schools due to the hardship of private school tuition or other reasons, on top of the usual loss of seniors to graduation. Miller said he’s received interest from at least 14 players so far — Highland Christian plays 8-man football — and plans to proceed with the season.

“Even if we’re on a marginal scale, I really feel like we should continue with the program,” he said.

There’s reason to believe they’ll do better than that — the Knights have played a postseason game every year since the program debuted in 2007.

Like their larger neighbors, the Knights are officially in a no-contact period before the first day of practice Aug. 19. They’ll kick off their season Sept. 5 against St. John-Endicott of Kittitas.

Health Dept. Investigating Possible Norovirus Outbreak

by ARLnow.com — February 11, 2011 at 10:06 am 1,566 12 Comments

Arlington County’s health department is investigating a possible Norovirus outbreak at an assisted living facility.

The county issued a short statement to ARLnow.com last night confirming they’re “currently investigating reports of gastrointestinal (GI) illness at a long-term care facility.”

Citing “confidentiality rules,” a Department of Human Services spokesman refused to identify the facility. A source, however, tells us the facility is the Sunrise at Bluemont Park (5910 Wilson Blvd) senior living community.

The source says paramedics were called to the building on Wednesday. Medics then called the health department.

“We have not yet identified the cause of the illness; however, it is not uncommon to have GI illness due to Norovirus this time of year,” DHS spokesman Kurt Larrick said. “We are working with the facility on ways to control the spread of illness.”

The county said members of the public can help stop the spread of Norovirus and other gastrointestinal illnesses by washing one’s hands frequently with warm water and soap for 20 seconds and by staying at home if you feel sick.

“Please postpone visiting an assisted living facility, nursing home or hospital” if you’re sick and “keep your sick children home from school,” the county advised.

  • John Goilios

    You’re wrong about the location, by the way.

    • http://www.arlnow.com ARLnow.com

      Care to tell us what the actual location is then?

    • Arlwhenever

      Are you saying it’s the Sunrise on North Glebe, the Jefferson, or not Sunrise at all?

    • OX4

      That’s very helpful, John.

  • CW

    Wikipedia: “Transmission is through fecal-oral, can be aerosolized when those stricken with the illness vomit and can be aerosolized by a toilet flush when vomit or diarrhea is present; infection can follow eating food or breathing air near an episode of vomiting, even if cleaned up.”

    Mmm, nothing like eating poo and breathing puke.

  • duran nor duran

    awww shiiiit….

  • CrankyMom

    It’s possible that more than one facility is affected. When we were looking at nursing homes a few winters ago, more than one was closed to visitors due to norovirus.

  • Overgrown Bush

    Norovirus seems to hit nursing homes often. It is nasty from what I understand.

  • Bob

    There has been an outbreak in my house twice in the past 5 weeks. Noro-Virus hits my family ever year this time. Pretty much anyone with young kids can expect a few days of General Naseau followed by sudden and immediated Barfing, followed by Crapping. Great for Weight loss !

  • Kate

    “by washing one’s hands frequently with warm water and soap for 20 seconds and by staying at home if you feel sick.”

    I sure wish that the food preparer(s) at Tallulah would have taken that advice before a friend and I dined there. He’s an infectious disease specialist at NIH–and when we both got ill at the same time and in the same way, he said “no question, it’s norovirus.”

    • CW

      I hear you get over it more quickly when you don’t think about the fact that you got it from breathing vaporized poop…

  • R0bespierre

    I was afflicted with this horrible nuisance on Thursday the 10th. The only place I had eaten was Whole Foods…terrible diarrhea. Only lasted about 12 hours though.

Welcome to the ARRL Oregon Section website
My goal is to make sure this website is always current during my term(s) as section manager. I want to have as many communication methods available as possible to hear what you in the Oregon section have to say. This is one of many ways for me to hear you. I welcome any suggestions for content. With the help of the section leadership, it will be added to continually. I look forward to working with you and am making plans to visit all the affiliated clubs in the state during my first year in office and hope to be able to participate in some of your activities. I have visited some ARES groups as well.

Also please keep in mind that this website is a work in progress and we will do our best to keep it updated with the information provided by our amateur radio community. Currently login access is limited primarily to the Oregon section cabinet. I am beginning to provide access to individuals designated by the DEC's for updating ARES-related information. As we make more features available you will be notified via the arrloregon Yahoo Group. Join the group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrloregon/.

I also send regular informational emails to the yahoo group. Much of what I send will appear in the next SM report, but by being in the yahoo group, you get advance notice of the news. I also forward messages that come from the ARRL to section managers that may be of interest as well.

If you have information that you want posted or updated on this page, please send to me at ab7zq@arrl.net. If you submit news to that link, please notify me that it is there so that I can go look for it. We receive a lot of spam messages at that link.

Jerry Eifert and amateur radio operators prepare county for emergency - News Review 9/20/2010
Jerry Eifert and amateur radio operators prepare county for emergency
September 20, 2010

Jerry Eifert and his band of amateur radio operators are good guys to have around in a sticky situation. When other communication systems fail, they're the only ones who can send out an SOS.

“These guys are nuts, and I say that affectionately,” Douglas County's emergency services director, Wayne Stinson, said. “They've taken an interest in public radio and have gone above and beyond.”

For the past 17 years, Eifert, 65, has overseen about 40 volunteers who are trained to broadcast reports in the event of emergencies such as floods, earthquakes, blizzards or windstorms.

“I love radio,” said Eifert, a retired Veterans Affairs hospital nurse. “I love the fact that I can serve my community.”

Amateur radio operators around the country have responded to local and regional disasters since the 1930s, including the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and Hurricane Katrina.

In 1997, a windstorm in northwest Oregon knocked out telephones and electricity for four days, Stinson said. The amateur radio operators provided officials with updates on conditions. That storm prompted the governor to give $250,000 worth of equipment to Oregon's amateur radio organizations.

Eifert has since lobbied for more funding, and the county now has emergency stations in Roseburg and Reedsport and a radio tower on Lane Mountain near Dixonville. If there were a disaster, amateur radio operators would be able to send messages to other parts of the state or country, Eifert said.

A Florida company owned The Lane Mountain tower and planned to tear down the structure. Stinson and Eifert, however, were able to get the company to donate it to the county.

The tower allows information to be relayed to and from Reedsport and Roseburg in an emergency. “It provides the link from Southern and southeast Oregon to Salem,” Eifert said.

In August, Eifert's labor of love earned him the 2010 Oregon Section ARES Volunteer of the Year award. The communication system he helped establish in Douglas County has made neighboring counties emergency communication systems more effective.

Stinson, who nominated Eifert for the award, said Eifert puts a lot of time and energy preparing for something that everyone hopes never happens. “What's crazy is this isn't even his profession,” he said, “I wanted to do something that acknowledged him better than just saying, ‘Thank you.' ”

Eifert said he spends the equivalent of a part-time job on his radio projects each week. “It's sometimes more than my wife would like, but I love it,” he said, laughing.

Title: Positive Interaction of a Feeding Attractant and a Host Kairomone for Trapping the Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella (L.)

item Landolt, Peter
item Suckling, D - AGRIC FOOD CANADA

Submitted to: Journal of Chemical Ecology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: September 19, 2007
Publication Date: November 9, 2007
Repository URL:
Citation: Landolt, P.J., Suckling, D.M., Judd, G. 2007. Positive Interaction of a Feeding Attractant and a Host Kairomone for Trapping the Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella (L.). Journal of Chemical Ecology 33:2236-2244.

Interpretive Summary: New approaches to manage insect pests of apple and pear crops are needed that are safe, effective, and compatible with the environment. Codling moth is the key pest of apple and a primary pest of pear in the western United States. Researchers at the USDA-ARS laboratory in Wapato, Washington, collaborating with scientists with Agriculture Canada, Summerland, British Columbia, and Hort Research, Lincoln, New Zealand, discovered a novel chemical attractant for the codling moth based on the chemistry of over-ripe pear fruit. This chemical attractant is effective as a lure in a trap to capture both male and female codling moths. This information and the availability of this lure provides new avenues of research to develop more powerful monitoring methods, and to develop baits to kill female codling moths in apple and pear orchards.

Technical Abstract: Codling moths are attracted to acetic acid, and to ethyl-(E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate, the pear ester. Acetic acid is a product of microbial fermentation of sugars, and ethyl (E,Z)-decadienoate is an odorant of pear, which is a host of codling moth larvae. Many more male and female codlling moths were attracted, or were captured in traps, when the compounds were presented together, compared with the chemicals tested separately. This enhancement or synergy of attraction occurred in a flight tunnel study and in three field experiments. The field experiments involved three trap designs, and were conducted in Washington, U.S.A. and in Lincoln, South Island, New Zealand. Given that codling moth attractionto acetic acid is thought to be a food finding behaviror, and ethyl-(E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate is a host odorant (pear), the heightened response to the combined blend supports the hypothesis that codling moths orient to ripe pear odor in search of food, and suggests that some of the reported codling moth orientation to the pear ester is a food finding behavior. The discovery of this attraction synergy provides a stronger lure for female codling moths than currently exists with pear ester alone, and has potential for use in managing this pest of pome fruits and walnuts throughout the world.

Citation: Williams, L., Fletcher, J.C. 2005. Stem cell regulation in the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem. Current Opinion in Plant Biology. 8(6):582-6.

Technical Abstract: The aerial structure of higher plants is generated dynamically throughout the life cycle through the activity of stem cells that are located at the growing shoot tip, the apical meristem. The stem cells continuously divide to renew themselves and provide cells for leaf, stem and flower formation. Stem cell maintenance is governed by intercellular communication between the apical stem cells and the underlying organizing centre. Recent advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms that induce shoot stem cell identity, and that control the position and size of the organizing centre. Elements such as chromatin remodeling factors, transcription factors and microRNAs are newly implicated in these regulatory processes. These advances provide a framework for our understanding of how signals are integrated to specify and position the stem cell niche in the shoot apical meristem.

Greta Scacchi as Queen Elizabeth in Mary Stuart
Oil on canvas
180 x 120cm
Further information

Internationally renowned star of stage and screen, Greta Scacchi is best known for her many film roles. However, the Italian-born Australian actor has also won acclaim on the Australian and British stage.

Last year, she received a Sydney Theatre Award Best Actress nomination for her memorable portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in the Ensemble Theatre production of Schiller’s classic play Mary Stuart. Mark Thompson painted her in costume after a performance.

A theatre designer, Thompson met Scacchi in the early 1990s on a production of The Doll’s House in Perth. Having got on well then, he plucked up courage nearly 20 years later to ask if she’d sit for a portrait.

“She was a gorgeous young slip of a girl back then and gaining notoriety as one of the most frequently undressed film actors,” says Thompson. “It’s quite ironic because although she’s earthy, there’s also a lovely primness about her, particularly now that she’s a mother.

“As Elizabeth, Greta totally denied her own looks. She really wanted to be the Queen in full white face with that skinny-eyed stare and lips painted to look like two pieces of string or laser beams. She also loved the wonderful red fright wig and the fact that from a distance the high forehead worked. After two hours of performing, however, you could see the cracks in the greasepaint. I wanted to catch her like that, after two hours of work, in that hour after the show when an actor is coming out of character. It’s a lovely transformation. Unlike some women, Greta didn’t want to be portrayed as younger and more glamorous than she now is, but as the character.”

Thompson did a couple of life-sized head studies and having “cracked it” moved onto the painting, which flowed easily.

Born in Darwin in 1949, Thompson studied at the South Australian School of Art and East Sydney Tech. He is currently working on a series of paintings to be exhibited in September of Australian theatre artists among them Nancye Hayes, Judi Connelli, Joelene Anderson, Paul Capsis, Garry McDonald and Jonathan Biggins.

The expression of IL-21 in the LSG of SS patients and the severity of inflammation. The labial salivary gland specimens of the primary SS patients were divided according to the grade (1 to 4) of lymphocytic infiltration (see Methods). (a) This specimen was obtained from a SS patient who fulfilled the American-European Consensus Group Criteria except LSG biopsy. There were no definite lymphocytic foci but moderate lymphocytic infiltration was observed. (a-c) IL-21 expression increased as the lymphocytic infiltration in the salivary gland became more severe. (d) IL-21 positive cell number was significantly increased in LSG from SS patients than in control. (e) Relationship between IL-21 positive cell number and inflammation severity. IL-21 positive cell number was elavated with grade (r = 0.521, P = 0.038). Horizontal bars represent the median of all samples within a group. Representative data are shown. IL-21: Interleukin-21; LSGs: labial salivary glands; SS: Sjögren's syndrome.

Biochemical analysis of CTX II levels as an indicator of cartilage turnover. Quantitative biochemical analysis of cartilage breakdown (type II collagen fragments) was performed on urine samples using the CTX II Pre-Clinical CartiLaps® enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Ten animals underwent sham surgery (control) and 10 underwent OA surgery. Five animals from each group were randomly selected for FM studies, and the remaining five for NM studies. Spot urine was collected presurgically and at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after surgery. Samples were assayed for CTX II concentration and normalized to urine creatinine concentration. Mean CTX II concentrations corrected to creatinine ± standard error are shown. Statistical analysis was performed to test for significant differences between groups, at each time point. Only significantly different means are indicated by 'a' and 'b' (P < 0.05; n = 5). FM, forced mobilization; NM, nonmobilized; OA, osteoarthritis.
