An atypically chill episode of Top Chef give the chefs some family time and a heck of a prize.
Top Chef picks up right where we left off last week, with Doug sadly saying goodbye after getting a little too ambitious with his whole-roasted foie gras. The rest of the chefs know they have a fine line every challenge between taking risks and executing something they know is possible in the time they have. Melissa in particular is feeling like the show's taken her on an emotional roller coaster – she misses her support system of friends back home, as well as her girlfriend.
Elimination Challenge
Something's up when the chefs get to the kitchen. Padma introduces the week's guest judge, Ashley Christensen, then gives the final four chefs the details: there will be no quickfire this week, but the elimination challenge has some twists. The chefs will be heading to Island Creek Oyster Farm to gather oysters and other proteins for this week's challenge. Two dishes will be needed this week, an appetizer and an entree. Since two dishes is twice the work, the chefs will have some help…
…from their family members! In walks George's dad, Mei's brother, Gregory's sister, and Melissa's mom, here to help as sous chefs for the week. Mei is concerned – she got all the culinary skills between her and her brother. The chefs and family members will be staying overnight by the shore in Gloucester 1. Padma also informs the chefs that their appetizer must be prepared in its entirety by their sous chef – the chefs can tell them what to do and how to execute it, but cannot touch anything related to the dish. Mei seems especially thrilled by this latest development.
We're not done with the twists yet. In an attempt to see what the chefs do when they have full creativity without concern of elimination, no one will go home this week. That's huge, but the prize for winning this week is equally big – an automatic place in the final in Mexico.
With enough monkey wrenches finally thrown their way, everyone heads out to get some oysters and seafood at Island Creek. I wish we could have had more challenges that actually tap into the local food resources here in Boston more – Taza Chocolate is making fantastic Mexican-style chocolate completely bean-to-bar, and if nothing else, the Necco factory's still here2. The chefs begin to discuss with their loved ones what they're going to cook. George is slightly intimidated by being the boss instead of "Mr. Tony". Melissa's tapping into a memory she has of an egg custard dish her mom made her when she had trouble sleeping and turning that into an appetizer.
At Whole Foods, George and Mei struggle to keep their assistants focused and, in Mei's case, fast enough. 30 minutes is not a heck of a lot of time to pick up groceries, and having to do it while keeping track of someone else can't help. Out in Gloucester, everyone settles in at their gigantic, gorgeous beach house. I am briefly freaked out my the sight of George without his hair slicked straight back. It's a good night to settle in before a busy day ahead.
The next day, everyone is gathered around the island in the beach house kitchen. George reiterates in an aside that he's still not sure what to think of being the one to boss his father around3. Mei's brother seems scared he's going to mess up – and after seeing how things kick off between him and Mei once they get to the kitchen, he has good reason to be scared. Mei is all over him at every step, and he doesn't seem to understand he has a time limit to complete his dish by.
As everyone else starts filling in the kitchen, different leadership styles emerge. Mei is yelling, Gregory is tapping into his executive chef experience and keeping his sister on a step-by-step set of instructions. Eventually, through all the cooking, yelling, and teamwork, it's time to start serving the judges.
Mei and her brother Harly are up first. Harly's dish is oyster with soy-yuzu vinaigrette and radish, while Mei has made surf clam and lobster with tomato-coconut broth. The judges enjoy both, appreciating the balance present in both dishes. All the stress and yelling seems to have paid off for Mei.
Gregory is up next, although he's concerned he's focused too much on helping his sister and not enough on his own dish, particularly the halibut for his entree. Jessica's tomato-watermelon soup with pickled cucumber and shrimp gets high praise from the judges. Gregory's hunch about his own work is correct – his halibut with oysters, mussels, and dashi is a little too complicated and not quite coalescing. The judges loved his sister's dish, but found his less memorable.
George was please with how well his father took direction, although it feels like he may have played it too easy with the dish he gave his father. George and Tony present the judges with a grilled oyster with razor clams and cucumber for their appetizer, with butter-poached lobster with sunchokes as an entree. The judges appreciate the flavors and respect for ingredients the team had, but some of the foofier touches on George's plate could have been left behind.
Melissa is so proud of her mom, who finished her dish with enough time left over to want to help Melissa with her dish as well. The two of them present Alice's egg custard with shiitake mushrooms, clams, and lobster to the judges as an appetizer, with butter-poached lobster with onion soubise and pea puree for their entree. It's clear that the judges LOVE Melissa's lobster and attention to the details that surround it, but they also really love how she worked with her mom to create an appetizer based on something familiar to both of them.
Judges' Table
Mei and Melissa receive the judges high praise during review of all the dishes. With no elimination at stake, everyone brought their A-game and it showed. However, Melissa wins4 for nailing her own dish AND helping lead her mom to greatness. With a guaranteed in to the final, we're done – next week the competition picks back up AND Last Chance kitchen wraps up.

I have a friend who is working as a Principle Developer. He has a fun job responsibility to work with the normally helps start-ups to boot up and when they are done he moves to the next start-up. He has mentored many start-ups and helped them in terms of technology and processes. I had the curiosity to ask him about the famous questions that we normally have in our minds. So I asked him some questions and this was his reply.
Q- What development process is followed by most startups
Most of the start-ups follow extreme programming. The reason is that they have a limited amount of amount to practice mature organizational processes. That does a lot of pair programming and relies heavily on TDD. One of the most important things that they do is they do pair rotation on a single story which is a must.
Q- How is the risk planned
There is a process of risk estimation in which we identify and migrate as early. If this process is not followed then they proceed anyway by considering risk as a known factor.
Q- How to they scope the prototype and is it always successful
The scoping of the prototype is based on the pain and gains of the user. We try to focus on the most important need/problem solvers. The prototype is always successful (not in terms of its adaption) as we gain knowledge on what user requires and want from the prototype and what are the next changes that can be foreseen. It's more of the mindset thing.
Q- How careful do they select the technology
For a prototype, the aim is always to fail fast, recover fast. So, we choose the technology that serves this need in the quickest possible way. But we always apply best software practices while development so that prototype can be extended to a production-ready environment with no additional effort
Q- Do they estimate-foresee the technology cost
To some degree, yes. As I mentioned before, everything starts with the prototype to understand the learnings and the technology can be switched afterward to some extent as well.
Q- How often are the successful
If we are talking about adoption, then I would say out of every 3, 2 would be failing. But in other situations its really hard to figure it out.
Q- What is the most common mistake that the Start-up make
There are many and they are not seasonal but some of the most common ones that could be highlighted are
- Not doing enough user research and understanding the pains and needs of the customer.
- Starting with a solution without validating assumptions
Q- How is the quality of the end product
Its almost always production ready material as we are doing rapid prototyping development so the ultimate aim is to deliver production ready material
Q- How well are they aware of the business
They invest a lot of effort into understanding it. It's a bit hard to measure this but I estimate that 8 out of 10 have strong market research and know the business.
Q- What are the channels where they prove their business ideas
I would say that depends on the idea. Some ideas can be pre validated using social media to figure out the interests of the users or businesses. You can also do 'pre-sale' and sell out a feature that is not development. This normally guarantees good business. In some cases, the Business idea is proven with the help of a prototype and then it is circulated to customers to be validated.
Q- How is a successful relationship linked with pitching
Pitching is more towards showing the capability to be able to achieve something while giving benefits to stakeholders/investors as well. As long as the benefit is clear, the pitch is almost always successful.

The majority of known Toxoplasma gondii isolates from Europe and North America belong to three clonal lines that differ dramatically in their virulence, depending on the host. To identify the responsible genes, we mapped virulence in F1 progeny derived from crosses between type II and type III strains, which we introduced into mice. Five virulence (VIR) loci were thus identified, and for two of these, genetic complementation showed that a predicted protein kinase (ROP18 and ROP16, respectively) is the key molecule. Both are hypervariable rhoptry proteins that are secreted into the host cell upon invasion. These results suggest that secreted kinases unique to the Apicomplexa are crucial in the host-pathogen interaction.
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite capable of infecting a wide variety of warm-blooded animals. Infections are widespread in humans and can lead to severe disease in utero or in individuals with a suppressed immune system. The majority of European and North American isolates belong to three distinct clonal lines, referred to as types I, II, and III (1, 2). Types I and III appear to be the result of just one or two matings between an ancestral type II strain and, respectively, one or other of a pair of closely related strains that are distinct from type II (3–6). The three major Toxoplasma lines differ in a number of phenotypes (7), the best described of which is virulence in mice: type I strains are the most virulent with a lethal dose (LD100) of one parasite (8, 9), whereas types II and III have values for median lethal dose (LD50) that range from 102 to 105. There may also be differences in the virulence of the three strains in humans (10–12).
Previously (3), we demonstrated that a cross between a type II and a type III strain produced F1 progeny (S23 and CL11) that were more virulent (up to 3 logs) than 14 of their siblings (3). Because only two of the 16 progeny showed this difference, it was likely that multiple loci controlled virulence in these strains, and to identify these loci, we phenotyped 23 additional recombinant F1 progeny from II × III crosses (13, 14). Progeny with high virulence were identified by infecting mice with 100 tachyzoites; progeny with very low virulence were identified by infecting mice with 100,000 parasites.
The parental type III clone was significantly less virulent than the parental type II clone, and among the recombinant progeny, a range of distinct phenotypes was observed (table S1). Injection of 100 parasites of some progeny (including strain S23 described above) resulted in uniform acute mortality in mice. There was also a large class of avirulent clones, unable to kill mice even when injected at the high dose (100,000) (table S1). The log-likelihood of association of virulence phenotypes with genetic markers was analyzed for three different phenotypes: (i) "high-dose survivability" (log10 of the survival time after injection of 100,000 parasites); (ii) "avirulence," a binary trait defined as no mortality at any dose; and (iii) "low-dose survivability" (log10 of the survival time after injection of 100 parasites). In the initial genome scan (15), two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified: one that was highly significant at the left end of chromosome XII (VIR1) and one of borderline significance on chromosome X (VIR2) (Fig. 1A). A high logarithm of odds (LOD) score in such analyses, as seen for the chromosome XII QTL, can obscure the contribution of other loci, especially when the number of progeny being analyzed is limited. When the variance associated with the QTL at the beginning of chromosome XII was fixed as a covariate, three additional QTLs emerged as significant (Fig. 1B): one each on chromosomes VIIa (VIR3), VIIb (VIR4), and toward the right end of chromosome XII (VIR5). (See table S2 for a complete summary of all QTLs and their effects.)
Although the genomic regions spanned by the detected QTLs are large [∼1 megabase (Mb)], we identified candidate genes on the basis of predicted coding function (16, 17), amount of polymorphism (5), and gene expression information [expressed sequence tags (EST) frequencies (18) and microarray data (this study)]. Of particular interest were polymorphic genes whose products were predicted to interact with the host (i.e., expected to be secreted into and/or beyond the parasitophorous vacuole) and with differences in expression between the type II and type III strains.
The VIR3 QTL spans a maximum of ∼1.1 Mb within which there are 140 predicted proteins (16, 17). ROP18 stood out as the strongest candidate gene within this interval for a number of reasons. First, it has high homology to the ROP2 family of serine-threonine protein kinases in Toxoplasma, which are released from specialized apical secretory organelles, called rhoptries, that are unique to the Apicomplexa. Second, ROP18 was previously identified in our laboratory as part of the rhoptry proteome [ROP2L2 of (19)] and has recently been confirmed to be a functional kinase (20) that ends up in the parasitophorous vacuole after host cell invasion (20, 21). Third, expression levels of ROP18 are very different between strains: Initial microarray results indicated that strains having the type III allele expressed significantly less mRNA than those with a type II allele, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) showed this difference to be on the order of 10,000-fold (Fig. 2A and fig. S3A). Analysis of the F1 progeny showed that this difference cosegregates with the VIR3 QTL (fig. S1; peak LOD score 4.5, P < 0.01). Sequencing the entire ROP18 gene (including promoter regions) and comparing type I, II, and III strains revealed that type III strains have a 2.1-kb sequence inserted 85 bp upstream of the ATG start codon, which is not present in type I or type II ROP18, or anywhere else in the only fully sequenced Toxoplasma genome (from a type II strain) (16, 17). It seems likely that this insertion (relative to types I and II) in the 5′-untranslated region (UTR)–promoter of the type III ROP18 allele is involved in the major difference in expression of this locus in type III strains, although this has not been directly tested. Last, ROP18 is found in a genomic span that is generally dominated by type II–specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the basis of polymorphism maps derived from EST sequences (5) and, as predicted by this, the type II ROP18 allele [(16) Gene model 20.m03896] has 11 (0.66%) SNPs in the coding region relative to types I (GenBank accession number CAJ27113) and III (GenBank accession number EF092842) (Fig. 2B). Superimposed on this expected level of polymorphism, however, is a completely unexpected and extremely large number (85; 5.0%) of type III–specific SNPs (64 of which result in amino acid changes) (Fig. 2B).
To determine whether ROP18 was in fact the VIR3 QTL, we introduced a type II (ME49) allele of ROP18 into an avirulent type III background (CEP). This was done by cloning the type II gene (with 588 bp of endogenous promoter and the complete coding region) in frame with a C-terminal hemagglutinin (HA) tag. HA-specific antibody immunofluorescence on the resulting parasites revealed the presence of ROP18-HA in the rhoptries as expected (Fig. 2C), and also in vacuole-like structures within the host cell early after infection (Fig. 2D), similar to those previously observed for other rhoptry proteins (22). In BALB/c mice, these type III:ROP18II parasites were at least 4 logs more virulent than the wild type strain (Fig. 3). A second, genetically distinct type III:ROP18II clone (from a different transfection than the clone described in Fig. 3) was isolated that had similarly enhanced virulence in mice.
It is likely that the differences in the expression levels of ROP18 are enough to account for the large difference in virulence between type III:ROP18II and the wild-type line (CEP), and ROP18 levels were about eight times as high in the virulent type III:ROP18II as in a type II strain (fig. S3). However, the large number of polymorphisms in the type III coding region could also play a role, and future experiments using strains with allelic replacement of coding and/or promoter sequences will distinguish between these possibilities. Consistent with the results presented here, a separate study examining progeny from a cross between types I and III to determine the genetic basis for the extreme virulence of type I strains, Taylor et al. (21) found that expression of the type I ROP18 allele in an avirulent type III strain also dramatically increases virulence in mice. These data confirm that ROP18 is indeed a virulence gene and is likely the genetic basis for the virulence QTL on chromosome VIIa that was identified in both studies (9, 21).
VIR4 falls within a 0.55-Mb interval on chromosome VIIb. Within this candidate region, one locus, ROP16, immediately stood out because of its extreme variability [the type II allele has 39 nonsynonymous SNPs compared with types I and III in ∼2100 bp of coding sequence (23)], its status as a rhoptry protein kinase (and thus likely injected during invasion), and our recent results demonstrating that this rhoptry protein kinase is injected into the host cell cytosol and is involved in the strain-specific differences in induction of interleukin 12 (IL-12) secretion by mouse macrophages (23) [IL-12 is well known to be key in Toxoplasma pathogenesis (24, 25)]. To test whether ROP16 was indeed the VIR4 QTL, we introduced either a type III or a type I allele of ROP16 into a type II strain. Both alleles were pursued because our previous studies indicated that the type II allele is recessive (loss of function) to both the type I and type III alleles, and the type I and type III alleles have only three nonsynonymous SNPs between them (23). The engineered strains were injected into mice, and virulence was compared with that of parental type II. The results (Fig. 4) show a substantial decrease in virulence in the strains carrying either the type I or the type III transgene. This is consistent with our QTL analyses, which indicate that the type III allele is associated with lower virulence (table S1). Obtaining two genetically distinct clones (type II:ROP16I and type II:ROP16III) with identical virulence phenotypes argues against finding the insertion site of the DNA construct to be responsible for the drop in pathogenicity.
The results presented above strongly support the idea that polymorphic rhoptry kinases provide the genetic basis for two of the virulence QTLs mapped here. The identities of the genes contributing to the other three VIR loci are not yet known: None had a candidate gene as compelling as ROP16 and ROP18 (see supplementary results for a discussion of the other three loci). In no case do any of the five VIR loci appear to mediate virulence through an enhancement in growth, because no significant growth phenotype was seen for any of the F1 progeny strains reported here, with the notable exception of CL15 which, as reported previously, has a substantial growth retardation (3). Furthermore, simple growth rate is not likely the basis of the virulence differences, because the parental type III strain has a slight growth advantage compared with the ME49 strain despite its being less virulent (26). ROP18 has recently been shown to be an active kinase capable of phosphorylating a parasite protein of unknown identity (20), and ROP16 has all of the key residues known to be crucial for kinase activity (23). In the case of ROP16, we have recently reported that its expression impacts several host transcription pathways, including those mediated by STAT3/6 (23). Available evidence, however, suggests that neither STAT3 nor STAT6 is a direct substrate of this kinase, although both are differentially phosphorylated depending on the allele of ROP16 present in the infecting strain (23). Identification of the physiological substrates for ROP16 and ROP18 will yield great insights into their function.
The extreme sequence divergence observed for ROP16 and ROP18 could be a result of immune selection, but it is striking that these proteins are substantially more different among the three strains than the major surface antigens, SAG1 and SAG2 (3), which are highly immunogenic (at least in terms of antibodies) and thus are likely to represent an extreme for targets of selective pressure. It could be that ROP16 and ROP18 are subject to immune pressure by T cell responses rather than by antibodies (the major T cell antigens of Toxoplasma are not known, but the presence of ROP16 and ROP18 within the infected host cell would make them readily available for antigen presentation). For ROP18, pairwise comparisons of nonsynonymous to synonymous SNPs among the three alleles suggests that selection is operating on type I and type II ROP18. All 28 SNPs between them result in amino acid changes; the ratio of nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions to synonymous nucleotide substitutions (Ka/Ks) is 4.6 (27) (fig. S2B). It is less clear how much selection has operated on the type III allele, where 20 of the 85 SNPs specific to this strain are synonymous, which gives Ka/Ks values closer to 1.0 [a ratio expected under a neutral selection model (fig. S2B); Ka/Ks = 1.7 and 1.3 versus type I and type II alleles, respectively]. It is possible that the very low expression of ROP18 in type III strains makes type III ROP18 a "null" allele that can more readily accumulate random mutation, although the level of variation in this allele is so atypical for this strain and genomic region (Fig. 2B) (5) that both positive selection and neutral drift may have operated on this allele over time. It will be key to sequence the ROP18 gene in other T. gondii isolates to determine the range of selective pressure at this locus in the population. Finally, instead of immune pressure, another possibility is that at least some of the sequence divergence of these genes could be a result of optimization for interaction with specific proteins (e.g., their substrates) in one or more hosts that are central to their transmission. It is difficult to predict what those hosts are or were but Mus spp. has probably not played that role for all three strain types, given the very different allele-specific interactions described here. Rather, other species of rodents or birds that are central to the parasite's transmission, perhaps in distinct parts of the world, could be the true, evolutionarily relevant hosts in which selection for different versions of these key genes occurred.

True Detective is the latest breed of acclaimed HBO dramas, written entirely by former novelist Nic Pizzolatto. It is an anthology series, meaning that the story resets after every season.
Season 1 focused on Detectives Rust Cohle (played by Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) as they track down a mysterious occult killer referred to only as "The Yellow King". As the series progresses, however, we learn that the show is more concerned with the impact the case has on the lead detectives than the actual outcome of the investigation.
TD put up a solid performance at its first ever Emmy's appearance, garnering a Outstanding Drama Series nomination, Outstanding Lead Actor nominations for McConaughey and Harrelson, Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for Nic Pizzolatto, and an Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series victory for Cary Fukunaga based off of his performance in "Who Goes There" – which featured a highly acclaimed six minute long tracking shot.

Marie paints women collecting angkwerrpme. Angkwerrpme is the name for Mistletoe in Marie's language. There are many different types of angkwerrpme in Central Australia, where all but one or two produce edible berries. Marie paints one that has sweet edible berries that the women collect for the community. Marie also illustrates the women, represented by the 'U' motifs, collecting the angkwerrpme. They carry with them their digging sticks and coolamons (carved wooden bowls) which are typical instruments used for collecting many bush foods. Concentric circles represent the sites where the angkwerrpme is being collected. The footprints that the women leave in the sand are a trademark depiction often featured in Marie's paintings. Marie likes to use traditional ochre colours in the background design to reflect the rich sand hill country of Central Australia.

I can't quite figure out whether or not Jose Mourinho is playing a game of chicken with Manchester United's players and board.
Whether he is telling them, in the players' case, 'I'm going to be here for the longer term and you'd better do it my way or you'll be out of the door', or whether this is the beginning of the end for him at Old Trafford.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now although, let's be perfectly honest, it could quite easily be the latter because he's not a manager who ever hangs around too long.
What I do know about what he has said over the past few days is that players will only have a problem with it if he's not saying the same to them in private.
My old Aston Villa manager John Gregory would never walk down a corridor and say, 'Can I have a word?', and dig me out but he would go on Sky Sports News and have a go at me.
I'd be gutted, firstly, when I heard it and then angry that he hadn't had the cojones to say it to my face.
I don't think Mourinho is a coward like that, he's a manager who will front his players up.
So I wonder if he is simply asking his players is, 'Who's with me?', a bit like Pep Guardiola did at Manchester City last season.
Just in a slightly less diplomatic way.
Collymore's FA Cup prediction
In Collymore's crystal ball I'm seeing a Chelsea-Tottenham FA Cup final with the Blues coming out on top.
And when they do, I'd love to see Antonio Conte go and plonk the famous old trophy on Roman Abramovich's desk and say, 'This is a madhouse and you're all a bunch of [expletive deleted]. So ciao bello, I'm off back to the Italian national team or Juventus'.
Collymore's verdict on who should be England No.1
Jack Butland would be my pick for England No.1 at the World Cup finals and, as such, I'd play him in the vast majority of the friendlies between now and then.
I'd give whoever was going to be his No.2 a couple of halves or one full friendly in that time, too, but I certainly wouldn't bother giving the two who will miss out from Butland, Joe Hart, Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope any game time.
I got really excited when Aston Villa won eight and drew one in a nine-game run but, after back-to-back defeats by QPR and Bolton, I don't know if Steve Bruces's squad — arguably the best in the division — has the character and bottle to go on and finish second.

Online Progressive Jackpot Slots Guide
Online progressive Jackpots are similar to what you can find In land based casinos. They are slot machines which offer an ever growing jackpot, which grows into huge amounts before one lucky winner strikes it lucky and takes the whole win.
Then, the jackpot grows once more in a cycle like this, each time producing a new multi-millionaire virtually overnight. The thrill of playing progressive slots is definitely the lure of winning something out of this world, certainly life changing and unbelievable.
Progressive Jackpots offer much larger winnings than standard slots, which do not have progressive jackpot attached to them. But, remember, that's not to say that any win on a normal slot is low or small. Progressive Jackpots are often called 'Millionaire Makers' - so now you know what you're dealing with.
How Do Progressive Jackpots Work?
Online Progressive Jackpots are popular because they offer multi-million jackpots. Log into any recommended online casino and you'll find many different varieties, usually involving online slots but it's also possible to play other progressive jackpot games such as Video poker, Online Poker, Scratchcards, Lottery, Blackjack, Roulette, Bingo, Baccarat, Keno - the list goes on.
The way the pooled jackpots work are simple. For every player who makes a bet when playing a specific progressive jackpot, a portion of the bet amount that they play, will contribute to the overall jackpot. If you can imagine, out of all of the casinos which offer a progressive jackpot, and all the players betting and contributing to it, around the clock every day, then it's no wonder that the jackpot grows so large, into the multi million stages.
Then, when a player wins the jackpot, the amount will reset and start growing again and then the cycle continues. The jackpots are usually hit at random, and can occur at any casino taking part.
The Best Online Progressive Jackpots:
There are many different types and themes of progressive jackpots from leading software companies, the main providers being NetEnt, Microgaming, Playtech and Amaya.
Probably the most well-known online progressive jackpot is NetEnts Mega Fortune Jackpot Slot. This record breaking Guinness Book of Record slot, which usually boasts a jackpot of over £5 Million. It was in 2013 when a very lucky Finnish player, playing at a big well known online casino, scooped the mind boggling £15 Million Jackpot on Mega Fortune. Yes, it really grew that large.
When an online progressive jackpot starts to grow over a couple of million, then the more people start to play it as they have their eyes on the jackpot.
Other well known and popular progressive jackpots are Microgaming's Safari themed, popular Mega Moolah Jackpot Slot, which is one of the most original online jackpot slots to play. Playtech also offer some great progressive jackpots such as Beach Life, Funky Fruits and Gladiator Slot.
Let's Hunt Online Jackpots!
Let the fun begin then! There are plenty of online progressive jackpot slots to play out there, each with their own massive jackpot - and we know where's best to play them! All you need to do is choose you favourite online casino, which also happen to offer the best casino bonuses and games. Once you ave registered an account and used your free spins, simply hit search to look for their progressive slots.
All casinos will have these laid out clearly as they are the goldmine part of the website and are very popular. Most casinos will easily show you the jackpot amount of what any progressive has reached. If you are not sure, simply open the slot in demo mode to see.
Once you have found the biggest progressive jackpot or the slot that you have the feel to play, then play for real and have a spin. You have to be in it, to win it, after all! You will find the best UK casino sites listed below - check them out!

Janice WangCo-President
Biographical Info
Coming all the way from Kingston, Jamaica, senior Janice Wang is majoring in Behavioral Biology with a minor in Visual Arts. Growing up, she never thought she would aspire to become a doctor. However, the signs were all there since she was a child, when her parents found her stuffed animals torn apart and stitched back together as she would pretend to be their doctor. As Janice matured, she realized that she had a strong desire to help people, not only with physical ailments, but also emotionally. This is reflected through all her activities: conducting clinical and laboratory research at the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus in the Pediatric/Adolescent Psychiatry Department and volunteering at the Child Life Program at Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Maryland SPCA. She is also a member of A Place to Talk, where she is a part of the External Training Committee, and a brother of APO. Fun fact, Janice loves corgis! She says that she will probably cry if she ever gets to hold a corgi, which reflects her big heart for everything and everyone.

Long gone are the days of wallpaper being pase'. These days there is a multitude of different colors, patterns and textures to choose from. One could spend days, even hours combing through papers finding one more beautiful than the next. They also range in prices for every budget and even come peel-able so there is very little commitment.
I like to use a paper to add color and pattern to a room. It's a fun way to pop an unexpected look into a room. My favorite is to use a boldly patterned & colored paper in a small unexpected space, such as the backs of a built-in bookcases, a fireplace bump out, an accent wall or even on the ceiling! I think the best balance is to use a highly patterned paper in a space where the fabrics and finishes are not busy and competing with the paper. The paper should be thought of as perhaps another textile in the space and can be organic or inorganic in design, depending on what other elements are already present.
The balance between the two is what makes a successful room. I like to design a room and then choose the wallpaper at the end, much the way I would with a paint color. But occasionally a really fabulous wallpaper could be the inspiration for the entire room! Be bold, brave and keep your guests on their toes. The oohs and ahhs will be endless!

2014 Research
Summer Research Institute | 2014 Research
Associate Professor of Chemistry, Karen Torraca, will work with two students this summer toward the development of a "green" synthetic method for the conversion of alcohols to ketones or aldehydes. The current standard synthetic processes require large amounts of heavy metals and generate a lot of hazardous environmental waste. Although there is a strong research emphasis across academia to develop better oxidation processes, very few new processes have actually been implemented in large-scale manufacturing due to the lack of robustness. Our ultimate goal will be to develop not only a "green" process, but one that is amenable to large-scale use where it will have the greatest environmental impact. Our research will focus on the use of palladium catalysts to complete the oxidation of various alcohols to ketones or aldehydes under mild conditions.
Aaron Sullivan, Associate Professor of Biology, along with Julia Dyer and Zachary Smith are continuing a line of research that investigates how antipredator responses to chemical cues from predators are fine-tuned by prey species. More specifically, this work will examine how prior experience with a predator as well as foraging success can influence Allegany Dusky Salamander defensive behavior. Salamanders of this species are excellent models for investigating how prey use chemical cues to evaluate predation risk as they are equipped with well-developed chemosensory organs and rely on chemical cue detection for functions such as foraging, territory maintenance, and mate recognition. Furthermore, some species respond to chemical stimuli from predators and even injured salamanders. We hope to address the following questions during SRI 2014: 1) Do salamanders with recent experience related to predation respond more strongly to chemical stimuli from predators, and 2) Are 'hungry' salamanders willing to forage even though predation risk is relatively high?
Mark Yuly, professor of physics, and two students, Laurel Vincett and Thomas Eckert, will be working with physicists from SUNY-Geneseo on research related to inertial confinement fusion (ICF). In ICF a large amount of energy is deposited, usually with high-powered lasers, into a small pellet of nuclear fuel to initiate a fusion reaction. In order to characterize the fusion reaction, a system has been developed using 12C activation. Samples of purified graphite are placed at several locations around the ICF target chamber, where they are exposed to the flux of neutrons produced in the fusion reaction. By far, the biggest remaining obstacle to the implementation of this diagnostic technique is that it depends on accurate knowledge of the 12C(n,2n) cross section, which has not been well-measured. The past two summers we did an experiment at Ohio University using the tandem Van de Graaff accelerator to measure this cross section; this summer we will analyze the data that were collected, and perform a necessary side-experiment to measure the efficiency of the detectors we used the past two summers.
Jun-Koo Park, assistant professor of mathematics, and two students (August Gula and RD Marek), will continue the study of the refined Gaussian Network Model (GNM) for predicting the dynamics of biological structures. Proteins are an important class of biomolecules, and the GNM has been proved to be accurate for predicting the fluctuations. Since the X-ray structures may not directly reveal the motions of structures, we plan to use NMR data in which multiple structures of the same protein can reveal the aspects of dynamics more directly. The goal of this study is to refine a GNM and apply it to the larger set of biological structures using NMR data. This is a continuation and extension of a project that we did at SRI 2013.
Networks can model complex interactions in the real world, in which vertices are entities and edges represent the interactions between the entities. Many networks, especially social networks, exhibit community structures where vertices form different groups or communities. To date, the research on networks primarily focuses on the static networks, where vertices and edges do not change over time. However, many real networks modeling the evolving relationships between entities tend to be dynamic, which implies that the network topology, vertices, or edges could change over time. Wei Hu, professor of math and computer science, and two students, Nathan Aston and Jacob Hertzler, will create adaptive algorithms to identify local community structures to improve community detection in dynamic networks.
Brandon Hoffman, assistant professor of physics, and three students (Kyle Flemington, Paul Lashomb, and Jonathon Yuly) will be collaborating with Shefford Baker at the Center for Materials Research (CCMR) at Cornell University to study thin silver films. Today's technology requires the use of metal films with thicknesses of only a few hundred nanometers or less. Not much is known about the properties of materials this small and the present models do not accurately describe the films. Therefore, thin silver films will be produced in a high vacuum deposition chamber and studied with x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in order to characterize the microstructures and transformations of the films. The goal of these experiments will be to improve the general model that describes similar thin metal films.
Jamie Potter, Assistant Professor of Biology, will be working with 2 students, Mary Grace Hollenbeck and Russell Levack, in collaboration with Dr Keith Perry, Associate Professor at Cornell University Department of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, on the detection of plant RNA viruses in grapevine. We will be focusing on Grapevine leaf roll-associated viruses, GLRaV, in Vitis vinifera and related Vitis species through collection and analysis of plant samples from western New York vineyards and adjacent wild cultivars using newly developed molecular macroarray diagnostic techniques. Our preliminary results show that grapevines in WNY host a variety of RNA viruses infections. In addition to continuing my research on macroarray detection of RNA virus infections in cultivated grapevines, we will also be developing virus-specific PCR protocols to confirm our results. This work is supported by the Houghton College Moreland Research Fund.

Excellence of the scientific leadership is just one of the primary criteria in the selection practice. Doctoral programs typically involve a high degree of research and you may want to attend some on-campus parts of the program. More information regarding the Sustainability Certificate can be found on the internet.
Subsequent increase in the number and location of programs has paralleled the development of financial engineeringwith its growing importance across all characteristics of the financial services industriesand of danger management as professions. Each chapter ends with three levelled practice exercises including the last round which will aid in final revision and self analysis of the degree of understanding of a specific chapter. Quite simply, these examples eventually boiled to the violation of a conventional Bell inequality.
Current encryption methods utilize mathematical issues that nobody knows the way to crack on a normal computer, but which could easily be dealt with using a quantum computer. Quantum entanglement is just one of the central fundamentals of quantum physics, although it is also highly misunderstood. Quantum computers have the capacity to provide solutions to a number of the world's toughest problems.
Depends on the way you consider it. The major numerical procedures of optimization and their convergence constitute the second section of the class. Other classes are available in a hybrid format.
The Basic Facts of What Is Quantum Mathematics
Why don't you see whether or not a Graduate Certificate in Mathematics and Statistics will help you achieve your academic and vocational targets! To broaden your job opportunities, you might also look at a doctorate in Mathematics or Computer Science with a concentration on cryptography. They may need a bachelors degree in engineering (or a specific type of engineering), as well as school-specific material.
MIT certificates enable students to advance their knowledge in a specific area of interest and boost their professional skills. Moreover, students in all engineering degree plans must finish the subsequent requirements. Academic credit can't be given for work experience in the area.

What Sort of Posts Do You Want to Read?
EnMart's EmbroideryTalk Blog has been in existence since October 2007. There are 500 + posts on the site and we've covered everything from business tips to embroidery tips, to a bit of sublimation, before we started the SubliStuff blog. After almost five years of writing for this blog, I have to admit I'm sometimes a little bit at a loss for new ideas or topics we haven't covered. I also realize that posts written 2 or 3 years ago may not have been seen by people who are reading now.
All this information is really leading up to the question in the title of this post, what sort of posts do you want to read? Would you like to resurrect Marketing Monday, where I wrote a post about how to market your business every Monday? Would you be more interested in seeing the return of Business Tips Wednesday, where I talk about how to run a decoration business? Do you want to see more posts that deal with the ins and outs of running and marketing a business?
Or, instead, would you prefer to see posts about how to use our products? In 2008, I did a series on machine embroidery needles. I've done a couple different series of posts on embroidery stabilizer. I believe there have also been a couple of posts about embroidering blank patches. We could also discuss the uses of specialty threads, how to sew with metallic thread and a wide variety of other product related subjects? Is that the sort of thing you'd like to read.
Finally, there are the posts about EnMart itself. Why we charge sales tax and where. Why we sell what we sell. Little tidbits about our customer service philosophy and the daily life in our offices. Do you enjoy reading the little glimpses into EnMart and how we operate? Do those posts make you more inclined to trust us as a company?
I realize that ultimately it's my job to pick subjects and create content for this blog, but a little guidance from those who read the blog is always helpful. If you have a suggestion for a post I should write, or a series you would like to read, please leave it in the comments.

ARM helps Groupe Renault power next-gen smart cars
ARM chips are set to help power technology driving a new generation of smart cars for Groupe Renault.
The Cambridge processor architect joined the Renault-Nissan Alliance at CES in Las Vegas to parade an armoury of enhancements for electric cars and other connected vehicles.
Renault has developed POM, a compact and lightweight electric vehicle with bodywork parts removed and an open-source automotive platform. Available to start-ups, independent laboratories, private customers and researchers, it allows third parties to copy and modify existing software to create a totally customisable electric vehicle.
The collaboration has brought together a rich ecosystem of entrepreneurs, developers, designers, and engineers. ARM, OSVehicle, Pilot and Sensoria are Renault's strategic technology partners.
Providing processor design technology powering more than 80 per cent of mobile computing devices, Renault's collaboration with ARM will open up the Twizy software and hardware architecture at the heart of the advancement to allow new features, including interoperability with ARM®-based connected devices.
The ARM ecosystem is scaling the ARM architecture to address a diverse range of automotive technology use cases in support of ADAS, IVI, autonomous driving, advanced cockpits and connected car.
Richard York, vice-president of embedded marketing at ARM said: "Connected vehicles will enable new business models that deliver a broad range of choices and experiences for end users. The automotive industry will increasingly focus on the specific functionality that owners want, such as comfort level and entertainment. By providing this platform, Renault is paving the way for innovation in these areas."
Pierrick Cornet, VP Engineering, Groupe Renault, added: "Renault has been making cars for more than 100 years and our industry is changing rapidly. Being able to work in all new ways, incorporating new technology with new scenarios in mind, ensures we're constantly exploring new areas of transportation, connected cars, zero emissions and an easier life for our customers."

Just some picts of the kids from this month -- it's hard to believe that at Mabel's age, Luke had already been on a 5000 mile road trip through parts of Canada & the US and we were just about to move to Guatemala! The farthest Mabel has been from home is the 80 miles to Spokane. She doesn't even have a passport yet {gasp}! How things change :)

Any questions?
Do you have any questions about our voucher requests, our newsletter or our offers? Our service team will be happy to help.
We have compiled the most frequently asked questions for you. If your query has not been answered, then please contact us using the
contact form.
Please choose your topic!
If you are a business customer, rather than an end customer, you can send us your questions here.
Vouchers - Difficulties with the redemption of the voucher:
Why can I not redeem my voucher?
Generally, the reason that a voucher cannot be redeemed is not due to an invalid voucher code nor technical issues.
In the majority of cases this is due to the expiration of the voucher validity or that the voucher code was not entered correctly.
Therefore, we recommend to copy and paste the voucher code instead of copy typing the voucher code. In this way errors can be minimalized.
Please also be aware that most vouchers are linked to certain terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions could include a minimum order value, the exclusion of certain products (e.g. reduced or sale items). The terms and conditions of the voucher can be found in the voucher confirmation email that you received.
In case the voucher code still does not work, even though you have considered the above-mentioned points, we would kindly ask you to send us a message using our contact form. In this way we can check the error accordingly and we can ensure that the voucher can be redeemed as quickly as possible.
Why did I not receive a voucher code?
Some vouchers do not use a voucher code. In these cases, the voucher is redeemed using the link in the voucher email.
In this case, please click on the link in your voucher email. You will then be redirected to the website of the shop and the voucher will automatically be added to your shopping basket.
Please note that in some shops the voucher will only be deducted from the shopping basket once the terms and conditions for the voucher have been met, e.g. the minimum order value.
Where is the field for entering the voucher code?
The voucher code can be entered on the website of the online shop.
Once you have selected your items you can open your shopping basket and check your order. Then you can enter your voucher code (preferably by using copy and paste).
Often the field for entering the voucher code is located below the total order amount. This field can have different names and does not necessarily need to be called "Voucher code". The wording "discount code" or "coupon code" may also be used.
For some online shops you need to register first or to create a customer account. In this case, often you need to go through the entire order process and enter the voucher code in the last step. Often the voucher code field is only displayed in this last step before you confirm your order.
Please note that we are solely responsible for the distribution of the voucher. In case you cannot find the field to redeem your voucher on the shop website, we kindly ask you to contact the customer service team of the respective online shop.
I already placed an order and could not redeem my voucher. What can I do?
Please contact the shop where you placed your order. Since we solely distribute the voucher, we are unable to redeem the voucher for you retrospectively. Due to data protection we do not have access to your customer account.
General questions:
Does the voucher cost anything?
No, all of our vouchers are free of charge.
How do I redeem my voucher?
In order to redeem your voucher, simply click on the link "Redeem your voucher here now" in your voucher email. This will take you directly to the website of the online shop. Once there you can place your desired items in your shopping basket.
During the checkout process you will see a field for entering the voucher code (most of the time this will be located in the shopping basket). This field can have different names and does not necessarily need to be called "Voucher code". The wording "discount code" or "coupon code" may also be used. The best thing to do it to copy and paste the voucher code from your voucher email in order to avoid errors.
It may happen that a field for entering a voucher code is not displayed or that the code is deemed to be invalid. The reason for this is usually that the respective terms and conditions of the voucher have not been fulfilled. We would therefore kindly ask you to check if you fulfil the terms and conditions of the voucher. The terms and conditions of the voucher can be found in the email that contains the voucher details.
There are also some vouchers which do not use a voucher code. In these cases, the voucher is redeemed using the link in the voucher email. In this case, please click on the link in your voucher email. You will then be redirected to the website of the shop and the voucher will automatically be added to your shopping basket.
Why isn't my voucher valid longer?
Generally the vouchers that you receive from us are valid for a period of 30 days.
The vouchers that you can obtain from within our voucher network are vouchers that the respective shops offer at no charge.
A longer validity is only applicable to vouchers that have been bought, these are not vouchers that have been distributed by Sovendus.
Can I redeem my voucher in a shop?
The vouchers that we distribute can only be redeemed in the respective online shop.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to redeem your voucher in a shop.
Can I redeem several vouchers in one order?
It is not possible to use more than one voucher at a time. Only one voucher can be redeemed per order.
Can I use my vouchers for orders that I have already placed?
The redemption of vouchers is only possible for a new order. It is not possible to redeem a voucher retrospectively.

Other Questions
I participated in a survey/ quiz/ contest and I want to receive my prize (e.g. Iphone/gift card)
The company Sovendus, in cooperation with selected companies, offers discount vouchers from our network as a reward for the participation in a survey or quiz/contest.
We as Sovendus do not create any surveys or contests; these surveys/contests/quizzes are created by our partners who are solely responsible for the price that can be obtained, such as a gift card or an Iphone.
We are also not your right point of contact if you have any questions regarding the completion of the survey or regarding a prize that was promised to you.
We have nothing to do with the contest/survey/quiz itself and the promised price.
Please note that it is possible that you will be contacted (also by telephone) by the sponsors of the offered prize. Your data will not be forwarded from our site. We will never contact you by telephone. This is because Sovendus does not store any telephone numbers of our customers within the voucher request process.

Questions regarding your order/delivery/bill/products
If you have questions regarding the products of an online shop, the delivery of your order or your order in general, then we advise you to contact the company that operates the online shop where you have already placed your order or are planning to place your order.
Sovendus only provides the voucher as an intermediary, we do not operate any online shops.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) -- Ever since California voters legalized medical marijuana in 1996, DUI defense attorneys have seen an increase in the number of arrests for driving stoned.
But exactly how high is too high to drive?
Our sister station -- KIRO in Seattle, Washington -- put stoned drivers to the test on a closed driving track under police supervision. In Washington State, voters legalized recreational pot use last year.
The station tested three drivers: Addy, a heavy medical marijuana user; Dylan, who smokes pot only on weekends; and Jeff, who uses marijuana occasionally.
When the test drivers were just a little bit stoned, all three drove more cautiously but generally did okay on the test track. The driving instructor thought they passed the test, even though Addy clipped a stop sign.
After smoking a little bit more pot, the drivers were starting to feel it.
At four times the legal limit, Jeff was still doing okay. At five times the legal limit, Dylan almost hit a camera man. And, at seven times the legal limit, Addy hit a cone.
News 8 showed the test track video to Steve Lykins, executive director of the San Diego branch of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
"As I saw them smoke marijuana, I saw their inhibitions go down," said Lykins. "And I saw that the speed of their vehicle, as they smoked more marijuana, increased."
Unlike Washington State, in California there is no legal threshold limit for driving under the influence of marijuana.
Lykins believes there should be.
"MADD would support any effort to establish a reasonable threshold where the majority of the people would be impaired," Lykins said.
"Inhibitions become reduced the more and more you become under the influence, whether it's alcohol or some other type of drug," Lykins continued. "We have seen many reckless driver situations that turn deadly."
If you get pulled over for driving stoned in California, the officer decides whether you get arrested based on a field sobriety test.
"It's much more difficult to establish a threshold with marijuana, because tolerance plays such a big issue into it," said San Diego DUI defense attorney Cole Casey.
"Some marijuana probably won't impair your ability to drive. An extensive amount of marijuana certainly will impair your ability to drive," said Casey, who does not support a legal threshold limit in California.
THC is the active ingredient in marijuana. In Washington State, the legal limit for driving a vehicle is 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood. Critics of that threshold say it is too low.
"If you have smoked a little bit of marijuana but you're not unsafe to drive, you should feel free to be able to drive. It should not be a crime simply because you have marijuana in your system," said attorney Casey.
MADD reminded drivers that non-medical use of marijuana in California is illegal; and that the best way to prevent alcohol-impaired driving is to have a designated driver.
"We're never against going out and having fun, but on the issue of getting home safely, always make a plan to do so," said Lykins.
