Please suggest I want to create a just portfolio website. so which hosting is best for me paid or free web hosting cpanel?
I always recommend paid hosting as this will offer you the best support and quality. But it depends what you want to do and how much traffic you plan on getting. If you are investing in any type of seo services to promote your site then I would say invest in your hosting as well. There is so much competition out there, prices are really excellent.
Free hosting is basically a lottery, you might have a reliable server one week then they might overload it and you suddenly find your site being slow or unresponsive for long periods at a time. You also have to read the fine print to see what the
When choosing paid hosting I would do the following:
1. Contact customer support and ask a few questions. How quickly did you get a reply? Do they have live chat 24/7 technical support?
2. Will they help you migrate your existing website? Does this cost an extra fee?
3. Compare pricing and find out how much your monthly rate will be after the promotional rate is over.
With this information, you should be able to pick the best web hosting company for your needs.
SiteGround Hosting - Fast, Safe, Reliable with 24/7 live Guru support!
Always prefer paid hosting because it has support system and it will run smoothly as well. Free hosting usually perform its functions in a poor way and it does not have any support system.
Lots of users and YouTubers suggest me https://googiehost.com for free SSD based cloud hosting, is this website worth?

The Borgias takes place during a time period that I love to study and so I have been anticipating seeing it. Finally, I had some free time last night to watch it. I had not opened the package before last night, and to my great disappointment, I opened the package only to find that inside was the show Entourage instead of The Borgias. So there was no Borgias to be seen last night.
February 15, 2013
The Borgias
Last night I sat down to finally watch a DVD I received for Christmas. It was The Borgias, a 2011 historical fiction television series created by Neil Jordan.
The series is set around the turn of the 16th century, and follows the Borgia family, an Italian dynasty of Spanish origin. It stars Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI with François Arnaud as Cesare, Holliday Grainger as Lucrezia, David Oakes as Juan and Aidan Alexander as Gioffre Borgia. Colm Feore also stars as cardinal della Rovere.
Next, I decided to watch an old show that I loved as a kid that has recently come out on DVD ,Tales of the Golden Monkey. More than likely, none of my readers has ever heard of the show. It only lasted one season and starred Stephen Collins. Anyway, after I put it in the DVD player, I decided I really wanted to watch something less wholesome, so instead, I began watching the fourth season of True Blood. Not quite as unwholesome as porn might have been, but pretty damn close. I love the show, even if its not the greatest television. It just has plenty of eye candy. The only bad thing is that I am pretty sure that I have not seen season three like I thought I had. Oh well, it was still fun to watch.

The Long Wave Group has a free register for the next month.
Here is an excellent link to one of their bi-monthly newsletters. Predictions for 2010 and information about the k-wave winter season.
Groovygirl highly recommends everyone read this article and position yourselves accordingly. As noted before, groovygirl believes that although deflation might be in the near future, we will end the winter cycle in a hyperinflationary depression. This view differs from the Long Wave Group, however, the economic fall out (or currency crisis) will be very similar either way, therefore their papers are very valuable.
Update: The Long Wave Group now requires a subscription. Check out my more groovy resources page and winter K-wave page for alternative links.

Nice smells and tastes
Reviewed: October 17, 2019 by Winter86, a Straight Married Female
Bought these to try out for fun, so far we've not yet actually used them but we have opened them to smell and find our favourite tastes.
We both prefer the passion fruit as it smells nice and tastes juicy. Gives a tropical feel. Mint tastes a little too much like toothpaste but it's not awful. Looking forward to trying these.
- Pros
- Variety of tastes and small enough to hide easily.
- Cons
- Mint's a little too much like toothpaste.
- Bottom line
- Going to be fun trying out different flavours on each other.

These are some of the tastiest lubes I have tried so far
Reviewed: December 2, 2017 by melziexx
Me and my partner use flavoured lubes genuinely to spice it up a bit.
But some of the flavoured ones we tried before weren't that great, tasted bitter. But these are tasty and do the job well. Will definitely be buying these again. One happy woman one happy guy.
- Pros
- The flavours were nice and didn't lose flavour straight away like a few other brands.
- Cons
- I found it a little bit too watery.

A free and robust API, Web and Mobile test automation solution with continuous integration trusted by hundreds of thousands of developers and testers.
Created by Katalon LLC
Katalon Studio is a good free automation tool, especially if you want to migrate from commercial tools to Selenium stacks.
[Edited by minhhai2209, September 23]
Those who do not have many experiences in automation test should download Katalon Studio. Having tried for more than 1 month and here are my objective opinions.
+ Simple installation and easy to set up the environment
+ Record & Playback functions are quite good so I can quickly create new test cases.
+ I also try to test my REST web service by Katalon Studio and I think it works perfectly, helps me a lot
+ Documentations are not very clear and hard to find the solutions for my problems
+ The size of the application is somehow quite big.
+ Still slow when running a lot of test cases.
It is still a new tool and I hope Katalon Studio will get better in the future. I will recommend it to my colleagues
I am using Katalon Studio for my test. It contains amazing features, in comparison with the other existing tools in the market. It offers users a friendly UI with the manual mode, plus the support team is really helpful. Personally, i think it is really great.
I am using Katalon in my everyday test routines to create and run non-regression tests against several websites on desktop and mobile and it works like a charm!
The major features of the product are :
AND the support team is reactive and competent, and it sometimes makes the difference.
**What it lacks of, in my opinion : **
I definitely recommend this (still young) tool that is already competing with HP and SmartBear, and can only get better.
I definitely recommend this (still young) tool that is already competing with HP and SmartBear, and can only get better.
[Edited by Faktotum, May 05]
As someone who have tried both automation frameworks like Selenium and automation tools like QTP, I'm very much impressed with what Katalon Studio brings to the table.
Katalon Studio provides a very well-structured test artifacts ( including test cases, suites, objects, data) like QTP, while also allow me to coding using those artifacts like every self-made frameworks using Selenium. It also enhance the test artifacts managing process by many utilities like the object spy, which I can use to capture all the elements from my website very quickly.
Katalon Studio also run very fast and provide the ability to execute parallel out of the box, which is very nice. I haven't tried to run automation test on mobile devices, but I'm definitely going to try that feature soon.
I've been using Katalon for a second project. And here are my comments:
After using Katalon Studio for my last project, I have some reviews here, hope you guys feel it useful.
Overall Comment:"My experience with katalon studio was great and fantastic, Great tool for automation. Very simple to learn and use. Katalon recorder is fantastic
My experience with katalon studio was great and fantastic, Great tool for automation. Very simple to learn and use. Katalon recorder is fantastic :)
I like most about the product or service is Katalon recorder is good and easy to use.
Dislike most about the product or service - None
Don't wait, and start using KATALON
Katalon Studio was the selected contestant to resolve our automation challenges. Without Katalon, we couldn't achieve our target to create automated test scripts in one year.
Katalon Studio reduced 60% of time creating automated test scripts and we can analyze the result on the cloud with Katalon Analytics.They offers Manual Mode and Script Mode for both beginner and advanced testers. We think this is an awesome feature for manual testers to learn automation and senior testers to improve automation testing skills. We were able to create our custom code infrastructure as micro-services by using Katalon Studio.?

I am writing this from the Fall City library and it is funny. The same reason that I am here brings several of the youth of Fall City - the internet connected computers. Today, I went on a MINI road trip and the end destination was Fall City to meet my family for an event at the library.
As I got here early and needed to do some work, I just went in to the library, logged in and went to work. But there were also a bunch of kids here, ostensibly doing homework.
But they too, were drawn to the computers. Instant messaging was providing them a great deal of entertainment and chatting about who had asked who out and who grabbed who's butt. They were fooling around, laughing, knocking each other's heads together.
As I was sitting here watching kids be kids, all I could think of was how this would drive my mom crazy.

Buy Natural Toothpaste in Waterbury, CT for a Healthy Mouth & Body
Where to Buy The Best in Waterbury, CT
Those of you who already buy natural toothpaste in Waterbury, CT are savvy health-conscious consumers, and you know the value of the natural ingredients. For those people from Waterbury, CT that have yet to buy natural toothpaste, the best place to start is to buy is online.
You can buy your next tube direct through a brand's website or through an all-natural product website offering the top brands. You can also visit your local health food store in Waterbury, CT or an organic product store in Waterbury, CT.
"...The top brands are sold in local drugstores, supermarkets, and other major retailers. But, keep in mind that you'll find the best deals and prices in Waterbury, CT online..."
The best toothpaste is formulated with natural nutrients and ingredients and they are just as effective at cleaning and brightening teeth, freshening breath - all without the harsh chemicals found in the popular brands.
You can buy online easily and it's delivered to your doorstep in Waterbury, CT in just a few days. To see places to buy natural paste, scroll to the bottom of the page or click here.
Big Brands Approach to Oral Care is Harmful
Have you ever noticed the explicit warnings found on the tubes from popular brands? The warnings state, "artificial ingredients are not recommended for ingestion." If that does not shock you, the fact that their explicit warning also states, "not recommended for children under six," should do the trick!
If the ingredients are not recommended for children under six, how could it be safe for children aged 7, or 9, or even 53? The "not recommended for children under six" has confused just about everyone.
"...Revitin® Prebiotic Toothpaste was developed as an innovated product for health-conscious folks from Waterbury, CT committed to using althernatives made with nutrients and natural ingredients..."
This is why dentists urgently recommend children are monitored during brushing until they know how to avoid swallowing. Swallowing toothpaste is dangerous! Why are the dangerous chemicals in toothpaste if they can't be ingested? Good question.
Big Brand Companies Have Been Misleading You
The name brand companies have spent years and billions of dollars convincing the public, "killing germs on contact" is the correct approach to good oral care. Revitin® was created to be the alternative brand formulated with key nutrients that actually supports overall health & wellness.
So, what exactly are the ingredients in some of the top brands and why should they concern you?
While many folks today are very concerned about what they are putting into their bodies, they often do not realize the dangers that lurk inside a seemingly innocuous tube of paste. So, what exactly are the ingredients found in the top brands, and why should they concern you?
The following ingredients are precisely why many holistic dentists are urging their patients to make the switch to natural brands:
- Fluoride: A compound classified as a dangerous neurotoxin
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: The same detergent found in soap and shampoo
- Triclosan: A leading active ingredient in most pastes that has been linked to cancer
- Carrageenan: A thickening agent determined to be toxic
- Artificial sweeteners: These have been linked to cancer
One of the most touted ingredients in toothpaste is Fluoride. You have likely heard your dentist singing the praises of this compound as far back as you can remember; but do you know what it is?
If this ingredient is so safe, why did a research study in 1990 link it to cancer? Why has it also been linked to ADHD and thyroid disorders? Fluoride is a known neurotoxin which can cause damage to the nerve tissue and can impede healthy brain development in children.
Did you know when you brush your teeth there are detergents inside the paste that make it foam and bubble? These ingredients are the same as those found in your shampoo.
"...No one would not intentionally put soap in your mouth, but if you are using name brand paste you are putting soap in your mouth every day!"
The scary ingredients are causing parents to concerned about the health of their children, prompting them to make the wise decision to switch to natural alternatives for kids.
Best Natural Toothpaste for Toddlers, Kids, and Adults from Waterbury, CT
When you pick up a tube of toothpaste fortified with nutrients you should not find detergents, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, and fluoride; instead, you should find natural ingredients that do not put your health in danger.
The best toothpaste contains ingredients such as:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- CoQ-10
- Cranberry Extracts
- Prebiotics
When you use a natural or organic toothpaste made with nutrients, you will no longer have to be concerned about accidental ingestion. Using an all-natural toothpaste takes the worry out of brushing and puts you back in charge of their oral health.
Parents who buy naturally fortified toothpaste for their kids do it because they want to provide the best for their oral health. Additionally, they want to protect their child from the risk associated with the toxins and poisons added to commercial brands. They should do the same for themselves!
Many individuals from Waterbury, CT have discovered the new research available on the dangers of fluoride and other chemical additives found in brand-toothpaste. They've joined the Toothpaste Revolution, and this movement is growing fast.
Natural toothpaste does not contain any of the chemicals found in the most popular commercial brands. Individuals are now making a conscious effort to improve their health by using natural toothpaste. Why? because the mouth is a gateway to the body, therefore oral health significantly affects the body's overall health - think about it.
The Best Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth?
When folks from Waterbury, CT look for the best toothpaste for sensitive teeth, they often choose Revitin Prebiotic Toothpaste. Revitin offers superior ingredients that not only cleans and whitens your teeth but without all the toxins and harmful ingredients that cause unnecessary pain. Revitin is only brand that feature prebiotics.
Prebiotics keep the bad bacteria in the mouth in check while encouraging the growth of good bacteria for better oral and overall health. This means fewer cavities and decreased risk for gum disease.
Prebiotics are good bacteria that can protect the overall health of the body. Plus, this is one of the most important ingredients found in toothpaste for sensitive teeth. This is a natural-nutrient based ingredient you won't find in most commercial brands, but you will find it in Revitin.
The long-term benefits of using Revitin toothpaste include:
- No more dangerous chemical additives
- Improved oral health
- No more painful sensitivity due to alcohol
- Naturally whiter teeth
Going "natural" is vital for protecting the health of the teeth and gums without compromising the health of the overall body. Natural nutrients is changing lives, one brusher at a time.
Revitin Testimonial
"I started using Revitin to treat gingivitis, which I had on and off for years. Within a couple of weeks, the gingivitis was gone and stayed gone as long as I continued using Revitin. Eight years ago, after undergoing a stem cell transplant, I was in an isolation ward for almost 4 weeks. During that time, the poor fellow in the room next to mine suffered from terrible mouth sores, a common side effect of the procedure.

The Sunshine CoastLocated in the southwest corner of Canada's most Western province, British Columbia, the Sunshine Coast winds 180 kilometers (110 miles) along the Salish Sea. Although it is part of British Columbia's mainland, the mountainous terrain dictates that it is only accessible by water or air. This gives the Sunshine Coast a definite island-vibe.
Things to do:
In the Spring, summer and early fall, hiking and water sports are prime activities. From ocean kayaking or sailing, to swimming in the clear and abounding lakes, the Sunshine Coast is an outstanding outdoors destination. From Powell River through Sechelt, Gibsons & Halfmoon Bay, all these cute village centers are host to fantastic crafts and food businesses.
To add to the quality of your stay, we recommend the following local partners:
- The Nomadic Kitchen
Further Information on tourism, restaurants, amenities and excursions can be found here:
How to get here
Arriving by float plane gives you a window-seat view from the heavens. From the air it is easy to understand why the First Nations people, the Shíshálh, named this area, Sechelt, meaning, 'the land between two waters'. Sechelt is the name of these first peoples, the inlet, the peninsula and the name of the largest town on the Sunshine Coast.

In a forty-minute crossing, BC ferries carry cars, bikes, dogs and walk-on passengers from Horseshoe Bay (approximately 30 minutes north of Vancouver) to the landing at Langdale on the Sunshine Coast. A scenic 30-minute drive up the Coast Highway brings you to the driveway into the woods of BaliCasa Resort & Spa.

The most notable bout of the day takes place in Japan on a card dubbed "Kamikaze 2" as Kyotaro Fujimoto (6-1, 4) takes on former WBC Heavyweight title contender Okello Peter (21-6, 19). This bout may not scream "major bout" on paper but it's set to be the first Japanese Heavyweight title fight in well over 50 years. Due to the historical aspect of this fight we've previewed it in detail here sadly however it won't be televised live, instead it will be shown on tape delay around 3AM local time Saturday morning thanks to TBS.
On the same show as the historic Japanese title fight there's a second Heavyweight contest as Rio Hidaka (10-1, 8) looks to bounce back from his sole loss. Hidaka will be facing Masataka Takehara (7-8-3, 3) who has won just one of his last 9 contests. Interestingly Takehara was blasted out in a round by Lucas Browne last time out...
...which nicely segues into the final bout as Australian banger Lucas Browne (16-0, 14) takes on American Travis Walker (39-10-1, 31).
Originally Browne was supposed to face Englishman Richard Towers though unfortunately Towers was prevented from setting foot on Australia due to his criminal past, quite ironic we know. As a result of the unbeaten Towers being unable to fight we actually think we've ended up with a better bout.
Walker, although no world title challenger himself, is an entertaining fighter who can be involved in some genuine tear ups and is acually known to Australian fans due to his controversial bout with Alex Leapai and his victory over Kali Meehan. Due to the power and experience of Walker we think this will be a very tough one for "Big Daddy" Browne against a man they call "The Freight Train".

Shop 3, 53 Racecourse Road, Hamilton
In my old age, I've developed a taste for sashimi that I could have never predicted as a child. I used to balk at the thought of any type of fish, even the battered variety. Now, I can guzzle the raw stuff by the bucketful.
After I wrote about the ace sashimi sesh we had at Sakura in Runcorn, my pal Mochi recommended that I try Hosokawa. When she mentioned that it was on Racecourse Road, I recalled a small Japanese eatery there that I'd walked past many moons ago. I filed that away for future consideration.
A couple of weeks ago, we did make it to Hosokawa. The restaurant is easy to miss if you're not looking out for it because it is very small and understated. Regardless of that, it was nearly packed and we weren't able to get a table (the few empty ones left were reserved) but we were happy to sit perched up at the bar.
I say 'bar' but it was really a sashimi cutting station. I actually preferred sitting there over the regular tables because we could watch the master at work. The slabs of fresh fish sat glistening in jewel tones. It was mesmerizing.
Marc and I ordered an array of food. The sashimi platter was an obvious choice. We also asked for yakitori skewers, beef tataki and a basket of tempura.
Beef tataki
The beef tataki arrived first. We were really hungry at this point and just dived straight in, nearly obliterating the entire plate in a few mouthfuls. The beef slices were thin and very tender, lightly marinated in a sweet soy dressing. I thought this was a great start to the meal.
Sashimi platter
The sashimi platter came next. There was a stunning selection of fish, scallops and octopus, as well as something salty and rubbery that we were unable to identify. I normally like salmon sashimi best but the tuna here was phenomenal. It had an amazing texture that I found irresistable. I would gladly eat this stuff every day if I could.
Tempura basket
There was a good range of veggies and giant prawns in the tempura basket. I liked the tempura pumpkin and eggplant best, since they are two of my favorite vegetables. The batter was light and crisp. The dipping sauce was also very delicate. I would have preferred more saltiness there.
Our last dish was the yakitori. Although they may sound simple, I thought these were outstanding chicken skewers! Often with skewers, the meat gets dry because the pieces are so small. Here, they were juicy and had a subtle charred flavoring. The marinate was lovely too.
Needless to say, I loved Hosokawa! All the dishes were good but the sashimi was exceptional. It was definitely of a higher grade of produce than what is normally seen in Japanese restaurants. The service was so friendly and I truly enjoyed seeing the sashimi chef at work.

On the banks of Alleppey's famed backwaters is the palatial OYO Coir Village Island Lake Resort. With canoe rides, Ayurvedic spas, and all-out Kerala vibes it's your next vacation spot.
Make The Best Use Of Kerala Monsoons At This Alleppey Resort With Houseboats & Canoes
Kerala Calling
If you are planning on a trip to Kerala and want to experience the best of Kerala monsoons (which are gorgeous by the way), the best time to go is between June and October. Instead of taking to the hills, head to Alleppey's backwaters that will be full and rich with marine life and greenery. And your place to stay will be at the OYO Coir Village Island Lake Resort. Why? Well, for starters, it's nestled beside the Kollam-Kottapuram waterways and the property has houseboats for you to cruise along these waterways.
Get into vacation mode at one of the mini houses built in typical Kerala architecture with most of them offering a sit out that face the scenic backwaters. No-fuss furnishing and creature comforts in the form of WiFi and AC are available for a cosy stay. A restaurant, bang in the centre of the property, which is built to look like a naalukettu (traditional Kerala home) serves all kinds of traditional Kerala fare. Be sure to tuck into the complimentary breakfast as well as the seafood dishes such as Meen Varthathu and Meen Poriyal for lunch or dinner.
Spa-cation With A Side Of Adventure
There's no way your vacation is complete without experiencing Kerala's famed ayurveda spa treatments. The resort offers treatments such as rejuvenation and detoxification therapies that we think is perfect. Nothing like heading back to Bangalore feeling fresh and ready to kick ass. Do ask for couple massages in case you and bae need some quality pampering. Outdoor yoga sessions are available too but if you don't feel like waking up early on your vacation, dial in room service.
Post or pre-spa time, check out the canoe rides that the resort offers to its patrons. We hear that you will be canoeing it through lagoons, past paddy fields. Do stop for fishing in backwaters and taking in all of that typical scenes that greet you at these backwaters. Who knows, you will be probably welcomed to one of the houses that line the canals for tea and snacks such as pazhampori and vada. They are pretty hospitable that way.

Hypocretins, also known as orexins, are hypothalamic peptides that have been implicated in a variety of behaviors, e.g. food-seeking and feeding, arousal and sleep, reaction to stress. Disturbances in the central hypocretin neurotransmission are believed to underlie narcolepsy. It has also been postulated that hypocretins play an important role in the regulation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, energy homeostasis, acquisition and learning of reward system-stimulating signals.
Cyclic adenosine 3:5-monophosphate and cyclic guanosine 3:5-monophosphate, common- ly know as cAMP and cGMP, are key second messengers in living organisms ranging from bacteria to Homo sapiens. Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP are produced from ATP and GTP by the action of adenylyl cyclase and guanylyl cylase and are hydrolyzed to AMP and GMP by the cyclic nucleotide phosphodie- sterase. The natural occurrence of cyclic nucleotides in higher plants is now established, as is the presence of enzymes involved in their metabolism.
Activating polypeptide Pituitary adenylate cyclase ( PACAP ) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) belong to a family of polypeptide hormones which include representatives glucagon, secretin and growth hormone releasing hormone . PACAP and VIP are widely distributed in both the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues of various vertebrates . PACAP exists in two forms : parent , 38 - amino acid form ( PACAP38 ) and shorter 27 - amino acid form ( PACAP27 ) . PACAP27 has 68 % sequence identity with VIP consisting of 28 amino acids.

Microsporidia, as a group, cause a wide range of infections, though two species of microsporidia in particular,Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis, are associated with gastrointestinal disease in humans. To date, the mode of transmission and environmental occurrence of microsporidia have not been elucidated due to lack of sensitive and specific screening methods. The present study was undertaken with recently developed methods to screen several significant water sources. Water concentrates were subjected to community DNA extraction followed by microsporidium-specific PCR amplification, PCR sequencing, and database homology comparison. A total of 14 water concentrates were screened; 7 of these contained human-pathogenic microsporidia. The presence of Encephalitozoon intestinalis was confirmed in tertiary sewage effluent, surface water, and groundwater; the presence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi was confirmed in surface water; and the presence ofVittaforma corneae was confirmed in tertiary effluent. Thus, this study represents the first confirmation, to the species level, of human-pathogenic microsporidia in water, indicating that these human-pathogenic microsporidia may be waterborne pathogens.
Waterborne infections are a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality worldwide, but over 50% of these infections are caused by unknown agents. The reservoirs of these waterborne pathogens can be animals, humans, or the environment itself, and such agents can cause a variety of diseases, including giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, typhoid fever, and hepatitis. New agents of waterborne disease are recognized on a regular basis, and, in general, any human pathogen excreted in feces or urine has the potential to be waterborne. One such group of microorganisms, which has only recently been recognized as an etiologic agent of disease in humans, is the microsporidia.
"Microsporidia" is a nontaxonomic name used to describe protozoan parasites belonging to the phylum Microspora. Microsporidia have recently been listed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as important emerging pathogens. This is because seven species of microsporidia have been shown to be etiologic agents of disease in humans, especially immunocompromised or immunosuppressed individuals. Two species in particular, Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis, have been shown to be responsible for intestinal disease manifestations in AIDS patients (1, 15), and Encephalitozoon cuniculihas been detected in feces (7). A recent study showed that up to 40% of patients with AIDS-associated diarrheas were shedding microsporidia (8). Recent studies have also identified these pathogens in relation to immunocompetent individuals (11, 13). Thus, it can logically be assumed that there may be the potential for waterborne transmission of these agents. A recent epidemiological study has shown direct correlation ofEncephalitozoon intestinalis infection with the use of well water and groundwater (3a). This could implicate groundwater as a potential source of infection not only for enteroviruses and enteric bacteria but also for microsporidia. Up until this point, however, the presence of human-pathogenic microsporidia has not been confirmed in water.
The major obstacle hindering the detection of microsporidia in the environment has been the small size of the human-pathogenic microsporidia (<2 μm in diameter), which has made it virtually impossible to positively identify the species of isolates visually without the use of transmission electron microscopy (12). Because of the difficulty of using transmission electron microscopy on environmental samples, there has been no confirmed documentation of human-pathogenic microsporidia associated with water samples. Another important factor that makes it difficult to correctly identify microsporidia in the environment is the presence of other genera of microsporidia that are not associated with pathogenicity in humans but which do infect nonhuman targets, including fish and insects. These other members of the Microspora have been detected in water and have been shown to cross-react with antibodies developed against the human pathogens (4), thus prohibiting the use of immunofluorescence assay (IFA) analysis.
In order to provide the initial link to the hypothesis that microsporidia are waterborne pathogens, we have used molecular methods developed in our laboratory to screen a variety of water sources, including raw sewage, tertiary effluent, surface water, and groundwater, for the presence of human-pathogenic microsporidia. Water concentrates from these sources were purified by density gradient flotation; subsequently, community DNA was extracted. Following this, human-pathogenic microsporidium-specific PCR screening was performed, resulting in the generation of PCR amplicons; these were then sequenced and database homology searches were performed in order to determine the species of the microsporidia.
Water sampling.Sampling of surface water and groundwater was performed by the USEPA Information Collection Rule (ICR) method for the concentration and detection of protozoan parasites (10). Surface water was collected by using a Homelite AP-125 portable water pump connected by a two-way valve (ACE Hardware) to a hose with a Snapi-tite quick connect (Melnor). The hose was connected to a plastic filter holder (Ametek, Plymouth, Mich.) that in turn was connected to a flow meter (1/2 by 1/2 in.) (Kent, Ocala, Fla.). The two-way valve was used to slow water flow to 1 gal per min, and the end of a screened six-foot intake hose was submerged in the water source. Groundwater samples were collected with the same filter cartridge apparatus, though submersible pumps at the bottoms of the wells provided sampling pressure. For surface water and groundwater samples, a 1DPPY cartridge filter (Cuno, Meriden, Conn.) in a plastic filter holder was used to trap the parasites.
Wastewater samples were collected with dipping rods and sterile 1-liter polypropylene bottles which had been previously coated with elution solution (10× phosphate-buffered saline, 1.0% Tween 80, 1.0% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 1% Antifoam A [Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.]). Two liters of raw and 6 liters of treated effluent were collected. Raw sewage was collected from the treatment facilities' inlet canal, while effluent was obtained from the chute used to transfer the secondary treated water to the tertiary treatment plant, which passed the effluent by pressure filtration through mixed-medium filters. Bottles were placed immediately on ice and processed within 24 h.
Modified ICR purification.Filters were processed within 96 h of collection by dividing 3 liters of elution solution (10) into two 4-liter beakers. The filters were placed on a large piece of aluminum foil. Residual water contained in the bag was poured into one of the beakers, and the bag was rinsed with elution solution. Filters were cut open and hand washed in the elution solution for a total of 30 min to release particulates, including microsporidia, trapped within the filter. After washing, the elution solution was concentrated by centrifugation in 750-ml plastic centrifuge bottles at 3,600 rpm (2,000 × g) for 10 min in a Beckman GS-6 swinging bucket rotor centrifuge; to help ensure that spores remained intact, no brake was applied. Sample supernatant was aspirated and discarded, and the pellets were resuspended in an appropriate volume of elution solution (10) and pooled into one sample that was again centrifuged, at 2,800 rpm (1,050 × g) for 10 min. Supernatants were again removed, and the final pellet was resuspended in an equal volume of 20% formalin and stored at 4°C until further processing. Raw and effluent water samples were processed, as described, by centrifugation, pooling, and resuspension in 20% formalin.
Flotation purification.Flotation purification of pelleted water concentrates was performed in accordance with the USEPA protocol (10). Percoll-sucrose with a specific gravity of 1.10 was employed to separate spores from denser particulate matter. Pellets resuspended in 20 ml of 1× phosphate-buffered saline were placed in 50-ml conical centrifuge tubes. This sample was carefully underlaid with Percoll-sucrose and centrifuged at 2,800 rpm (1,050 ×g) for 10 min. The upper aqueous layer (20 ml), containing the spores, was then aspirated off with an additional 5 ml from the interface. This sample was transferred to a new 50-ml conical centrifuge tube, and the volume was adjusted to 50 ml. This was then centrifuged at 2,800 rpm (1,050 × g) for 10 min and the supernatant was removed, leaving a 1-ml volume in addition to the pelleted sample.
Community DNA extraction.Total DNA was extracted directly from the samples by using a QIAamp Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Inc., Santa Clarita, Calif.) and a modified protocol. The protocol, which is described below, uses the manufacturer's reagents, which are designated as they appear in the manufacturer's protocol. Up to 100 μl of pelleted water concentrate was resuspended in 180 μl of buffer ATL by vortexing. To this, 20 μl of proteinase K (100 mg/ml) was added and the sample was once again vortexed. The sample was then incubated at 55°C for 4 h in a shaking water bath. Following this incubation, 200 μl of buffer AL was added and the sample was vortexed thoroughly and incubated in a 70°C water bath for 10 min, followed by a 10 min incubation in a 98°C water bath. Following these incubation steps, the samples were once again vortexed and then centrifuged at 14,000 rpm (16,000 × g) for 2 min to pellet any solids. The supernatant was transferred to a clean microcentrifuge tube and the pellet was discarded. Following this, 210 μl of 100% ethanol was added to the sample, which was then thoroughly vortexed for 1 min. The sample was then added carefully to QIAamp spin columns, preventing any contamination of the outside of the tube, and centrifuged at 6,000 × g for 1 min. The membrane-captured DNA was subsequently washed twice, according to the manufacturer's instructions, and eluted. Elution was performed by adding 100 μl of molecular-grade water which had been preheated to 70°C to the column and incubating the columns in a hybridization incubator for 10 min at 70°C. The samples were then centrifuged for 1 min at 14,000 rpm (16,000 × g). In order to increase the quantity of DNA recovered, the eluted water was reapplied to the top of the column and the column was once again incubated in the hybridization incubator for 10 min at 70°C. Finally, the column was centrifuged at 14,000 rpm, and up to 80 μl of the flow-through was used for 100-μl PCRs.
PCR.The PCR primers used in this analysis have been described previously (3, 6). The forward primer (5′-CAC CAG GTT GAT TCT GCC TGA C-3′) and the reverse primer (5′-CCT CTC CGG AAC CAA ACC CTG-3′) amplify the small-subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU-rDNA) of microsporidia, resulting in amplicon sizes of 250 bp forEnterocytozoon bieneusi, 268 bp for Encephalitozoon cuniculi, 270 bp for Encephalitozoon intestinalis, and 279 bp for Encephalitozoon hellem. PCR conditions were as follows: Taq Gold (Perkin-Elmer Corp., Norwalk, Conn.)-induced hot start cycling conditions consisting of 10 min of denaturation at 95°C, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 45 s, annealing at 58°C for 20 s, and extension at 72°C for 40 s. A final extension step consisting of 5 min at 72°C was also included.
Sequencing.PCR products were purified by using a QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen) and were resuspended in sterile H2O. The forward PCR primer was then used for dye termination PCR sequencing, which was performed at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Molecular Systematics and Evolution sequencing facility.
SSU-rDNA sequence analysis.Database searching was performed with BLAST 2.0 on the National Center for Biotechnology Information's World Wide Web site (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ).
Enterocytozoon bieneusi and Encephalitozoon intestinalis are etiologic agents of gastrointestinal disease in humans, and their spores are shed in feces. For this reason, we feel that they may be waterborne. In order to provide a link between water and microsporidia, we developed a PCR method which was subsequently used to screen a variety of water sources, including raw sewage (Fig.1), water treatment effluents, surface water, and groundwater, for the presence of human-pathogenic microsporidia. Of the 14 water samples screened by the PCR method, 7 showed amplification of microsporidial SSU-rDNA. The PCR amplicons from positive samples were purified and sequenced with the forward PCR primer described by Dowd et al. (3). Sequences were then entered into the National Center for Biotechnology Information's BLAST 2.0 search engine and subjected to database homology testing. The results of the sequence analyses are shown in Table 1. The species identified most often was Encephalitozoon intestinalis. One sample showed the presence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, and one sample showed the presence of Vittaforma corneae.
One of the questions raised by molecular analysis is related to the potential of PCR to detect other species of microsporidia in water, especially those species that infect fish, insects, and amphibians but not humans. However, the ability of PCR sequencing and database searching to distinguish between very closely related species has already been shown (3) and allows human and nonhuman microsporidia to be distinguished. Thus, we feel that because the PCR sequencing approach was able to differentiate among the three closely related Encephalitozoonidae and was able to detect and determine the species of Enterocytozoon bieneusi, its ability to confirm their presence in the environment is justified. In most cases, comparisons of amplicons showing less than 100% homology to the database sequences were due to the computer sequencing software's inability to identify bases during sequencing, as when the sequencing software incorporated an "N" in place of an actual base due to a weak or covered signal from the actual base. Taking this and the fidelity of Taq polymerase into account, we felt that at least 96% homology was necessary for definitive species determination of microsporidia. Therefore, if the percent homology was 95% or below, then a result was listed only as presumptive for the presence of the identified organism. If the percent homology was 96% or greater, then the identification was considered confirmed.
Finding human-pathogenic microsporidia in water could have been anticipated, but its importance should not be overlooked. The finding of microsporidia in raw sewage was the least surprising because several species of human-pathogenic microsporidia may be shed in feces and urine. However, their presence in tertiary effluent was more intriguing, since it may indicate that microsporidia can survive the wastewater treatment process, including mixed-medium filtration and chlorination. The structure of microsporidial spores indicates that they are potentially resistant to disinfection. This structure is characterized by electron-dense proteinaceous exospores and chitinous endospore layers (14). This structure is similar to other protozoan parasites, such as Giardia sp. cysts andCryptosporidium sp. oocysts that have already been shown to be highly resistant to disinfection. Cryptosporidium parvumoocysts for instance, have been shown to require over 18 h of contact time for disinfection at the normal chlorine concentrations used in water treatment plants (5, 9). However, it should also be noted that PCR is able to detect both nonviable and viable organisms. Therefore, the microsporidia detected in the tertiary effluent may not be viable. Methods to evaluate the viability status of microsporidial water isolates are currently being developed in order to address this critical issue.
The presence of human-pathogenic microsporidia in surface water may suggest the presence of environmental reservoirs that include domestic and wild animals. Now, the detection of Encephalitozoon intestinalis and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in surface water may further lend credence to the potential for wild and/or domestic animal reservoirs. Like Giardia sp., which has environmental reservoirs including raccoons, andCryptosporidium sp., which has cows as an accessory host, microsporidia may also have wild and/or domestic animals that are natural or accessory hosts. To lend further credence to this,Encephalitozoon intestinalis has recently been identified in a variety of animals, including cows, goats, pigs, and turkeys (1a). In any case, the role of water in the transmission of infection to humans could play a significant role.
Finally, the detection of microsporidia in groundwater is of the greatest interest and significance. Because of their small size, similar to most bacteria, it is possible that microsporidia could be transported in the subsurface, where they could eventually contaminate drinking wells. A recent epidemiological survey done in Mexico showed direct correlation between the incidence of diarrhea, in immunocompetent individuals infected with Encephalitozoon intestinalis, and the use of well water for drinking and food preparation (3a). It has been shown that enteroviruses and enteric bacteria can be transported in the subsurface over long distances, but few studies have looked at the transport of protozoan parasites in relation to groundwater (2). This is because most protozoa of clinical import are too large to be transported for any great distance in the terrestrial subsurface. Microsporidia, as mentioned, are similar in size to bacteria, so they may not be strained by soil matrices as readily as other protozoa. Thus, their small size increases their potential to be subsurface and groundwater contaminants.
Conclusions.Microsporidia are a ubiquitous group of protozoan pathogens, many of which infect humans. Up until this point there has been no documentation of the environmental occurrence of microsporidia. This study screened a total of 14 water samples and 2 positive control water samples, which had been seeded with Encephalitozoon intestinalis spores, by PCR and found human-pathogenic microsporidia in 7 of these samples, not including the positive controls. Thus, half of the water samples screened during this study contained human-pathogenic microsporidia. Most of the PCR-positive water samples and the control samples were subsequently identified by sequencing and database homology analysis as Encephalitozoon intestinalis. However, two of these samples contained other species of microsporidia, namely, V. corneae andEnterocytozoon bieneusi. These results show that microsporidia may be waterborne pathogens. The data also suggest that there may be animal reservoirs for human-pathogenic microsporidia which have not yet been identified. Finally, the detection of microsporidia in groundwater samples indicates that there may be the potential for subsurface transport of these protozoan parasites.
Little is known epidemiologically about microsporidia, especially in immunocompetent humans, wild animals, and domestic animals. Though microsporidia have not been associated with any waterborne disease outbreaks to date, it may still be found in future studies, especially with the increasing awareness of microsporidia in the medical community and the advent of better methods for their detection, that they have this potential. Thus, this study has advanced the hypothesis that microsporidia are waterborne pathogens.

The 2nd Avenue Pier had been a central landmark of the Grand Strand. However, 75 years of hurricanes and aging had taken its toll. Myrtle Beach had begun its planning for a boardwalk, and the pier was to be its Southern anchor.read more >>
As mentioned on the project sheet for 2nd Avenue Pier, the Owners wanted future expansion incorporated into the build out of Phase I. The pier was located adjacent to an open street end, an area dedicated to provide oceanfront access and vehicular parking to the public. Therefore, additional commercial space and screened parking was proposed for the property, facing the street end and linking the entire facility to the Ocean Boulevard development.read more >>
The Owner had purchased to redevelop an old shopping village and its surrounding acreage, including a freshwater lake created years before. For the project to be viable, leasable area had to be increased, and shops had to be ready for the summer tourist season. Mozingo + Wallace recommended a fast track approach, with the shops built over and around the lake. Higher ground would be dedicated for required parking.read more >>
A consideration during the renovation of Building 200 was the possibility of securing an expanded lease agreement with Barnes and Noble, its current textbook provider. At the time located on an inner Campus side the building, Barnes and Noble wanted to explore the option of moving to the opposite parking lot side, with additional exposure to a vehicular entrance to Coastal Carolina University and its student body.read more >>
Bullwinkle's is a family oriented restaurant / arcade chain, out of California, themed to the cartoon show of the 60's and 70's. An East coast franchisee provided a floor plan, and then commissioned Mozingo + Wallace to develop a national design prototype and vernacular for typical future facilities.read more >>
Burroughs & Chapin, the most established corporation in the Myrtle Beach area, invited several architectural firms to provide schematic designs for a two block site lining the boardwalk, and the ocean beyond. The restaurant retail development was to replace the old Pavilion. In creating the architecture, Mozingo + Wallace acknowledged the former landmark's significance, and played upon the nostalgia and energy of the carnival-like atmosphere that it was renowned for.read more >>
Captain George's remains a very successful, upscale restaurant which expanded into Myrtle Beach 15 years ago. Due to its popularity and its year round operation, the facility has had no opportunity to perform upgrades other than cosmetic. The Owners approached Mozingo + Wallace to oversee not only mandatory upgrades (eg, roof, exterior re-imaging, etc.), but also to re-design pockets within the envelope (eg. restrooms, gift shop, bar, entrance galley, etc.).read more >>
The project was the redesign of the exterior of a standard CVS Pharmacy Store, done so that the CVS would match the planned future re-development of the old Magnolia Plaza Shopping Center.read more >>
Divine Prime Steakhouse at Market Common, and Roy and Sid's American Kitchen are operated by the Divine Dining Group, which leased two adjoining spaces in this one building. In an unusual approach to food preparation, the two restaurants were to share the same kitchen, each with its own unique menu.read more >>
Elliott Realty asked Mozingo + Wallace to invigorate a tired seafood hut, with minor code compliance concerns. A prior attempt to expand dining capacity by adding an exposed deck above had exacerbated the problem. The deck covered the hut, and was without any feature that was identifiable for locals and tourists alike.read more >>
First Federal was exploring sites for a branch bank in 2003, and asked M+W regarding the possibilities at a corner site owned by the Burroughs and Chapin Company.

Jason Richardson approached Mozingo + Wallace to develop a prototype for housing stand-alone ice machines being placed throughout the greater Myrtle Beach area. Given that the large core unit itself is barebone industrial, the permitting process usually involves a community hearing addressing expressed concerns about visual impact.read more >>
Having already had exterior renovations design done by another firm, the Owner of the dual restaurant Kono's and Kansas Steakhouse and Grill contracted M+W to help with the interior improvements. The Owner asked for something very unique, but had a very limited budget.read more >>
Captain's Quarters wanted to expand and transform the vacant end of a motel, with valuable boulevard exposure, into a lively restaurant. It had long since been used as a reception area for the motel. The existing structure was of two story, cast- in-place concrete with concrete plank decking. A third, lower level emerges as grade falls off to the ocean. There was no architecture on this long narrow lot. It was a dated, standard fare, shotgun style motel with long balconies to access the rental units, which in turn had no ocean views.read more >>
The site for this small restaurant is part of the 21st Avenue Planned Unit Development. When the P.U.D. did not build the originally planned retail, local restaurateur Misty Coan decided to place her 50's style diner on this Ocean Boulevard Spot.read more >>
Mar Vista Grande Resort decided to reclaim a support area, built partially below a garage ramp. Given its central location amidst vehicular drop-off, elevator lobby, pedestrian access, post office, etc., it had enough space and traffic to support a unique cafe.read more >>

The Rivertown Bistro started in an old lunch counter in Conway, to which the Smiths introduced high class dining. After 5 years, the Smiths were able to purchase the storefront adjacent to the original restaurant. At that time, M+W designed the interior of the new space, and re-designed the existing dining area to match.read more >>
Rossi's was a long established restaurant on the Grand Strand, located in the Galleria Shopping Center. Over the years, it had grown to absorb two extra lease spaces in the center, with no improvements to the original brick façade. It also had become virtually hidden from the street by a new restaurant built on an out parcel of the center. As a result, Rossi's lacked curb appeal and exposure from afar.read more >>

Business applications software powerhouses PeopleSoft (PSFT) and SAP want to wire the whole wide corporate world.
SAP today showcased Web-enabled workflow software designed to give the company and outside suppliers a tool for routing a wide range of information and approval requests. The product, which was demonstrated at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany, will be included in the upcoming version 3.1 of the German software giant's R/3 system, now in beta testing and set to ship this spring.
The workflow software can be accessed with a browser or Web-ready clients such as a Lotus Development's Notes or a Microsoft Exchange client. The tool makes R/3 applications available to users across corporate networks and can even link users who do not routinely deal with R/3 applications to information stored there.
The software, for instance, could be used by a traveling salesperson for filling out customer purchase forms offline. Later, he or she could connect to the Web and send off the form for automatic routing via R/3 to the people needed to approve the sale.
"It was very clear once the Internet and intranet started taking off that workflow was going be necessary to keep track of the flow of data," Doni Steward, SAP's workflow product mark manager said. She said the software is part of SAP's move to Internet-enable its suite.
Meanwhile, PeopleSoft is rolling out a new piece of free client software called the Supply Chain Collaborator, which companies and their suppliers can use for the kind of informal messaging that usually precedes an actual transaction. The company said the collaborative software was designed to replace "ad hoc" messaging through email, faxes, voice mails, and unite all order-related communications via the Collaborator.
The Supply Chain Collaborator will be posted to the company's Web site for free downloading starting April 16. The application can work on its own as long as both the supplier and the vendor have it installed. The Collaborator can also be integrated with purchase order software from PeopleSoft's competitors, according to Mone Zweben, vice president and general manager of the company's manufacturing business unit.
"We are getting the technology out in the widest possible way," said Zweben of the initiative. "It helps get our name out there."
Web-based applications are easier to learn so they can be used by a broader swath of the corporate workforce, the companies maintain.
Separately, SAP and IBM today said they plan a joint development effort to allow IBM's DB2 Common Server running on Windows NT to serve as a database for R/3 systems.

What are the operational problems of the 4 1/2 super thin cutting disc?
4 1/2 super thin cutting disc must pay attention to some operational problems when used, in order to better use and better cut materials. The following are some operational problems that need to be paid attention to during use:
front operation problem: For daily use, many operators are always used to operate on the cutting piece. The reason for this direction is that the force can be used. In fact, the behavior of the grinder should be specifically prohibited. According to the operating procedure, when grinding the workpiece with a grinder, the operator should stand on the side of the cutting wheel of the grinding wheel and do not operate it on the front side to avoid the failure of the grinding wheel to fly out or break up and hurt people.
force operation problem: When the grinder is used, some operators, especially young operators, are trying to make the grinding speed fast and the force is too strong, which is a very unsafe operation behavior. Any grinding wheel cutting piece has a certain strength, which is likely to cause the resin grinding wheel cutting piece to break, and even fly out to hurt people, it is also a prohibited behavior.

About Alex
I have 12+ years working for several marketing agencies in the Austin area. I've managed FB ads, I create membership sites, I create my own sales funnels and never stop split testing. I build email list fast using contests and giveaways for all my pre-launches and reach out to influencers for every pre-launch. I currently utilize a full stack of marketing subscription automation services for my own marketing efforts.
I'm looking for a technical cofounder that can put in 5 hrs per week minimum to start during software development phase. Reason only 5 hr per week is because the software is 90% done. I just need add some updates before monetizing. Advertising campaign is funded by me. I'm willing to share generous equity post launch for continued support and updates.
I'm hoping to find a developer who will continue to grow the solution together with me. Usually meet up once per week for 1 hour.
The main problem I see right now are quick software launches from programmers who team up with marketers who reach out to big name affiliates to hype up these quick launches. They make their 6 figures, then stop updating the software internally and then on to the next big hyped up solution.
Seen this way to many times. It's a not a sustainable business model and I want no part of that.

Bob Pisani is off; this post was written by CNBC producer Robert Hum.
A very disappointing consumer confidence report weighed on stocks this morning. The Conference Board revealed its consumer confidence index hit a 10-month low, falling to 46 in February — much lower than the 55 level economists had been expecting. Additionally, consumers' 6-month outlook on business and employment conditions worsened.
Weaker consumer confidence doesn't bode well for retailers, which are still struggling to improve sales at their stores. How much consumers spend in the year ahead is critical in the economic rebound, since consumer spending makes up about 70 percent of the nation's GDP.
However, a near-term rise in spending is likely overly optimistic:
a) In its consumer confidence report, the Conference Board warned that the "combination of earnings and job anxieties is likely to continue to curb (consumer) spending."
b) That view is also being reaffirmed at the retail level. Speaking at an event, BJ's Wholesale CEO cautioned that "discretionary spending is under pressure."
Additionally, the reluctance to spend heavily was evident from this morning's retail earnings. Many retailers still reported fairly tepid same-store sales:
Q4 Comps:
Target up 0.6 percent
Macy's down 0.8 percent
Home Depot down 1.1 percent
Office Depot down 4 percent
Barnes & Noble down 5.5 percent
One piece of good news for retailers: inventories and costs continue to be managed better, leading to improved margins and profits in the past quarter. But that can only prop up earnings so much. Ultimately, retailers must see stronger top line growth if their bottom lines are going to continue to improve…but that will only come as consumer confidence strengthens and greater spending returns.

did i tell you about the time i went to the pentagon? it was silly, really. i met up with my friend and amazing photographer karis marie, and we decided that we needed to do a bit of an impromptu photo session. this was just before i was flying out of the country, a bit off beat and on the run, just like me. so we headed over to the pentagon to run a super confidential errand, as normal people do, and then we hit downtown
washington dc, just before sunset, for some fun photos. funny thing is, i thought we were going to the capitol building, and i am infamous for having no sense of direction. after parking downtown, no small feat there, and walking a few blocks i find out that karis' husband, micah, actually thought that i wanted to photograph the white house, during the trump administration, no less… of course not really having enough time to relocate we decided to just do our thing and take a few fun shots just before bidding farewell.
