|Hello friends ,
I turned 40 on May 10th, 2018. Tradition has it that you offer yourself a watch. As watchmaking addicts, the question we should be asking ourselves is, how to go beyond the simple act of buying ?
I've been blogging for about ten years, worked for Greubel Forsey, created the most disruptive media in watchmaking history. By elimination, what other aspect of the business did I still need to explore?
The answer was to design a watch, to travel to the end of watchmaking. But I'm not a designer, that's rotten luck, isn't it? The big question of watchmaking is design, as demonstrated by the success of The Royal Oak, the Nautilus, the Luminor and so on.
When you are blogger, you are regularly contacted by young creators wishing to test their concept.
Three years ago, some Belgian guy called David Rutten came to me to ask my opinion about his watch. The man just blew the roof off! He presented me the most groundbreaking and accomplished project I had seen in ages. The design was pure and radical. It was an impactful project, a meteorite blowing the Gulf of Mexico into stardust.
Rutten is simply the new Genta.
At this very moment, I felt like De Niro in Analyze This.
In this bloody life, you just can't miss out this kind of chance, because you might never get it again…
It is a dark time the business is tracking fashion trends like cars or clothes. All it takes is a brand to come up with a weak idea and everyone else… The XXL watches fashion, then neo vintages, blue dials, white dials for the Chinese, etc., all of them are good examples of that.
It takes more than a pleasant or well-priced product - see this excellent article : https://imgur.com/a/6CNO8 - to start a new brand.
What you need is a heavy concept, a flawless pitch and a fucking radical design.
The very second when David Rutten started to tell me about "Meteorite", he pronounced the word that drives you mad. A few weeks earlier I had seen the De Bethune's Dream Watch 5, crafted from a meteorite block. One of the most powerful pieces I've ever held in my hands (LINK Foudroyante album DB). 450.000 euros. Ouch… Thus, this extraordinary piece suffered from the endemic disease of watchmaking prices.
Instead our decision is to base the production of the project on the meteorite, in order to make this unique metal affordable.
As it randomly falls from space from the asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter, lies 320 million kilometers away. We must look at the creation of the universe to understand the value of this metal.
13.8 billion years ago, in the middle of an abyssal darkness of an infinite density and a deafening silence: BANG.
The two primal atoms, hydrogen and helium, came into being, forming the stars. Then, in their wake, the nucleosynthesis generated the elements. Over the course of cyclopean stellar detonations, some atoms spread out, agglomerated and ended up forming planets, or for the less fortunate, asteroids…
The cores of the asteroids are made of iron and nickel. Unlike planets, asteroids went extinct veeery slowly… Without thermal conduction and at the mercy of collisions. The solidification process experienced an enthalpy of approximately 1C° every million year, which led to the fact that the most massive bodies took more than a billion years to solidify .
This considerable delay combined with zero gravity brought forth a phenomenon that's impossible to replicate on earth the typical alloy of iron and nickel organised according to an eight-sided crystal structure called Widmanstätten pattern.
But before cutting the octahedrite and find out whether its pattern is exploitable, we need to get our hands on it. In the best-case scenario, there about 3 tons a year of exploitable metal meteorite falling on earth to compared with the 3000 tons of gold mined every year.
Between : private collectors, research, museums, all of them own most of it, and there's only a small amount of octahedrite available on the market every year, which imparts exclusivity. Even if we could, commercially speaking, we would still be forced to limit our production to just a few hundred pieces per year.
Since octahedrite has been central in this project, David radically chose an guichet watch to maximize the space for the raw material. An additional bonus of this design is an immersion into the 30's to the 60's, at a time when watch design was at its pinnacle. Today as in the past, watchmakers worthy of the name swear by art deco. Guichet watches with analog discs emerged in the 20's-30's. The Roaring twenties, following WW1, witnessed the massification of the first wristwatches, designed to coordinate charges into the trenches. Wristwatches also meant new problem of glass breakage. This need to decrease the exposed surface of glass combined with art deco inspired a new style of sport watch. Reverso on the one hand, and guichet watches on the other hand… Along with the cushion cases before the emergence of Panerai, this shape is among those who have been left out of contemporary design. David was able to feel the mysterious power of guichet watches laying low under the casing when he set his eyes on them. This required the eye of the designer, trained at La Cambre® (THE best design school in Belgium, which means the best in the world - David told me about the teaching: a blend of the Dirty Dozen's training and Ikki's from Knights of the Zodiac).
The three main ideas that were behind the creation of the Streamline were: retro science fiction, especially the Space Opera from the 40-50's, all chrome-plated and curved. Unfortunately government money ran out, and David had to settle for a telescope and a meteorite collection to satisfy his passion for space, grounded by the Earth looking at its feet… While wandering into the cosmos may not be realistic, he wanted to spread his appreciation of the extraterrian metal, providing watches exclusively made out of meteorite.
In order to enhance this retro design, David provided the DR01 with vertical gadroons in line with the streamline spirit, this art deco sub-genre, indissociable from the golden age of the American dream. We still have in mind the gorgeous trains and buses, the creation of which was partly made by the French man Raymond Loewy… This design and its retro SF look remains the swansong of modernism, and the allegory of the American way of life.
I know a little bit about design, and I am a sensitive connoisseur of watchmaking, so the moment David introduced this work to me, I knew I was dealing with a genius designer, and that I no choice but to get involved in the project. I don't want to be telling my grandchildren that I let the Union Pacific M-10004 go by. To conduct this project, David needed a watchmaking expertise, a guide in this brass-teeth shark tank.
Our first challenge was to find a movement. We're providing a genuine watch, that means that this piece is built around its movement. More specifically, the size of the discs of jumping-hour complication was the condition for the opening of the aperture, as well as the size of the case and ultimately the design details like the number of gadroons...
At this stage, we were not expecting to waste 18 months of our precious time on this step. We sought most market players (with the notable exception of Swatch Group), going from failure to frustration. As surprising as it may seem, only Vincent Calabrese and our supplier truly master this the in-line jumping hour. Most of jumping-hours on the market are in parallel, and therefore suitable for round cases. We had to turn a quite reasonable offer from Vincent Calabrese down because he wanted to work on a 2892 base. Indeed, the overall cost of raw material and the complex machining of the meteorite (both hard and inhomogeneous)approaches the cost of a machined gold case. Knowing this, there was no way we could board on this costly case a Valjoux.
Our calibre had to be good-looking, of a large diameter, easy to handle, featuring a plate with discs in line, as well as an affordable and a customised cut of the bridges… that's squaring the circle. We knocked countless doors, I racked up the kilometers drifting through Jura mountains. Nothing, going just empty-handed. Always the same old highwayman conditions.
And then I got an enigmatic message from David, claiming he might have found something about a far-fetched jumping-hour watch. I found it a few clicks later, in German-speaking Switzerland. We quickly found out that, in addition, he owned the caliber we needed. Finally some fluidity! FTL, at last! Now we could travel right across the watchmaking galaxy !!
So, that caliber, what about it? A few years ago, I noted that mid-size calibers between the 7750 (30mm 13 ½ lines) and the Unitas (36.6mm, 16 ½ lines) were nowhere to be found on the market.
That was before the DR01 caliber with jumping-hours : round caliber, measuring 33.3mm, or 14 ¾ lines, about 8mm thick with its discs. The frequency is 28800 bph (4hz), with a 120-hours power reserve, which is a working week without having to wind it up.
David Rutten has opted for a sober "octahedron" decoration and a "Ruttenium" bridge treatment. You'll notice that the Geneva waves are flush with the gadroons, in order to preserve a visual coherence between front and back. Of course, the decoration remains semi-industrial. Our objective is to provide an independant, watchmaking experience for the price of a nice standard diving watch.
Amongst the great pleasures of running a project like this one, discovering the new calibers holds a top position. I started to play with the crown until the hour jump : "Clack", nice and clean, flawless. A rebel torpedo fired right in the heart of the Death star. The conception of jumping-hour system is relatively new. The jump takes place without preliminary coupling of the hour-disc. There's no perceptible shaking or oscillations. And above all, you can still hear it jumping even when cased up, which is an additional sound complication.
Once the dimensions of the caliber were known, we could finally begin the machining of the case. At first, David wanted the dimensions to be thinner with a case of about 33-34mm, but that was problematic on two levels. First of all, easy-reading was made difficult because the dimensions of the aperture were too narrow. Then, according to me, this size was too "art deco jewel" connoted, and not enough "space instrument"for space marines on punishment mission… The 14 ½ lines movement was our justice of the peace. With a 33mm movement, leaving just 2mm on each side, the watch would measure 37mm, with a caliber cased up with a shoehorn, as in the blessed time of serious watchmaking industry...
Once the sized known, we had to face the great unknown: was it only possible to machine the meteorite with the necessary level of accuracy ???
The discussion I had had with Denis Flageollet about the De Bethune's Dream Watch 5 wasn't very comforting because it seemed almost unrealizable.
As is often the case with David Rutten, he adopted a tireless optimism.
Well, it was no easy business, but achievable, and the series-production was possible.
That may not seem like much but in ten years of watch blogging, I've seen lots of projects wallow on the finish line. Machining sizing issues, incorrect settings or conception of complications, and whatnot.
Well, no, it IS. First slap in the face: it looked much larger than the model version and the synthetic image. Coming to life had given it extra energy.
The second good news was that the proportions we had empirically defined were correct. The guichet was at the right place, sufficiently open to enable an easy-reading, but not too much so it kept the mystery and power of the watch. This last feature was the real surprise for me.
Now I realise that a good old steroid treatment and a proper facelift can be necessary to enhance a drawing. This piece genuinely rocks. It looks like some extraterrian beast, some biomechanical insect curled up in the space vacuum stoically waiting for its lunch.
My personal watch, with a cobalt inclusion on the left side.
The armoured aspect of first guichet watches is magnified. It's kind of a mysterious object. It would be difficult for a neophyte to figure out what this unidentified watchmaking objet is.
This should allow you to refine your flirtation technique. Simply explaining your target that this watch was made of a metal that was gravitating 320 million away from Earth until recently should be enough to take her home with you. If still in doubt, all you'll have to do to finish convincing her is to show her the fascinating and inimitable geometric pattern of the meteorite. Unique pattern, as every watch will feature its own Widmanstätten array. But some of them will also feature cobalt inclusions, which finish amazingly contrasts with the near-white colour of ferronickel. The cobalt is embedded within the matter in its liquid state but without merging with the rest. Inclusions take the form of anthracite oil drops in a glass of clear water. It's really impressive and impossible to achieve in zero-gravity!! My personal watch features this type of inclusion, because it makes the experience of a raw natural material as a watch case all the more intense. Like bronze watches, bear in mind that the material will acquire a patina, making some patterns more visible.
First paid, first served. Those who immediately support the project will have first crack at the choice of the current vintage case…
Comfort was central in the design process. First, reading comfort through the large aperture and the index colour which will be exchanged for a garish yellow. But also wearing comfort. The case-back and the crown are made of titanium, in order to prevent allergies.
The case is curved and features low horns to fit any wrist. That will make you forget about it, despite its 120 grams, wristlet included…. Speaking of which, there will be two wristlets in the presentation-case : a satin black python one, and a nubucked-calf sports bracelet.
At that point, I know what you're thinking: "cut the crap Malik"! How much?
The issue of the price was the most sensitive. But there is one sentence from independent watchmakers that convinced me to adopt this pricing strategy : "yes, our piece is splendid, but we can't afford it". Every blogger has heard that one before. One of the most frustrating things in watchmaking business.
So, we chose to apply an aggressive price for the Streamline, so that it is affordable to all enthusiasts, at least for once. It is the price of a Rolex or a nice Panerai: € 8,500, or $ 9850, or chf 9850 (the base price is calculated in this currency in case of a boom in exchange rates). Yes, you heard me well, less than 10k.
We're making very little money on each watch. But as watchmaking enthusiasts, we want to offer the unique opportunity to access a piece crafted by an independent. We want it to remain a living project. All collectors should be able to live Rutten's meteoritic experience, and share it on forums, social medias or during watchmaking diners.
We do not make watches for vaults, we make them for enthusiasts.
That's why the first 88 pieces will be on sale until the last trimester of 2019. Of course, beyond this limit for subscription, the ordinary rate will be applied: € 14,850, or $ 16,850, or chf 16,850 (provided that exchange rates remain stable until then - the base price is in chf).
The far-sighted subscribers will have two payment options, and three types of discounts. The subscription alone represents 40% of the total (or € 3,400, usd/chf 3,940 ). The balance should be paid before delivery, during the second half of 2019.
Cash transactions will be eligible for an additional 10%, for a total of € 7,650, or usd/chf 8865.
If you introduce another person, you will have a further reduction of 10% (sponsorship validated only after payment from the sponsored party has been received).
Finally, if you are a journalist, moderator, administrator of watchmaking, cars or lifestyle forums, or if you are a blogger in one of those fields, you will get a 5% discount.
Moreover, the discount system for sponsorship and press will be preserved for the following series.
As you can see, as enthusiasts, we revisited watchmaking in depth to escape from the straightjacket of the business. Our will is to provide a total experience that we hope will take you off this global village, through the artifact, to the final frontier, to infinity, where all is still possible.

Which approach to mobile payments will lead the pack?
According to research by Aite Group LLC, mobile payments in the United States are expected to reach $214 billion by 2014. However, forecasting which approach will prevail is no easy task. Will integrated near field communication (NFC), nonintegrated contactless, bar code, cloud-based or text messaging ultimately become the preferred choice?
A Smart Card Alliance white paper titled The Mobile Payments and NFC Landscape: A U.S. Perspective attempts to grapple with these questions by providing an overview of the state of the market and evaluating the strategic advantages and disadvantages of each payment model.
"The goal of this white paper is to help industry stakeholders understand the current mobile payments landscape, anticipate how mobile payments are likely to change, and appreciate the opportunities that mobile payments, and particularly NFC-enabled mobile contactless payments, present," said SCA Executive Director Randy Vanderhoof.
Topics covered in the white paper include:
- Adil Moussa, Senior Analyst, Aite Group
Credit sees resurgence in 2011
A First Data Corp. advisors' analysis reported credit card dollar volume year-over-year growth in Feb. 2011 surpassed that of signature or PIN debit for the first time in over two years. And the shift continued in the first half of 2011. Titled Rebirth of Credit - Minus the Debt, the report also provides the average dollar volume, total spend and total credit spend across core retail sectors from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011.
Micropayment fee dilemma
Discount fees charged to merchants who accept micropayments occupy a significant percentage of revenue and thus reduce profitability, causing what has been termed the "micropayments problem," according to the Mercator Advisory Group report, Solving the Micropayments Problem: Minimizing the Impact of Discount Fees on Small Ticket Transactions. The report discusses how merchants and networks are addressing this issue.
A risk framework for P2P payments
The Retail Payments Risk Forum published a working paper on peer-to-peer (P2P) payments as a resource for the payments industry, regulators and consumers. Offering a framework for banks and regulators to assess and manage risk exposure for different P2P products, the paper provides case studies and categorizes the transaction life cycle by counterparties, access channel, funds load and receipt instruments, and settlement networks.

SW Two Sesh at Ramp 30 and Lifeguard Beach Plus More SeaLion Stoke!!
Update! See Keith McCulloch's stoker report (bottom of this post) about riding the SeaLion last night at the Lighthouse! This board is going to ROCK this summer in Hatteras!!
SW winds were up yesterday along with a fun wave found both at Ramp 30 (actually the bar is about 1/2 mile south of the ramp) and near Cape Point. I caught two back to back sessions at both spots with 4.5m juiced one/two hit wonders at Rmp 30, and a later mellow (Maui sesh) between Lifeguard and Cape Point.
The Rmp 30 sesh included a fun outer bar wave that, if you were in the right spot at the right time, lined up a fun hit! Lots of loops too with gusty inside wind which occasionally blasted you skyward on the incoming steep swells. Keith and Rick joined me at Ramp 30, and the only downside to the sesh was a shadowed/squirrely inside due to the high dune line along the beach. Once outside though, full power 4.5m wind prevailed! View the Bambuser pre-sesh report!
Lifeguard Beach in Buxton. I am always amazed by the water quality at that spot near Cape Point. It was simply like sailing in waters off Maui. Warm, tropical blue, sea turtles swimming, and smooth outer and inner surf conditions. Often I simply just laid out there in the water and thought, "Damn this is beautiful!" The wind was lighter there (as is usually the case), so I rigged 5.3m. For both sessions, I rode the Tempo 92, but I really wished I packed the SeaLion for the Lifeguard Beach session. The surf and wind conditions were perfect for the Sealion, and I should have known better. I packed my 75 Quatro Quad, expecting perhaps winds to increase throughout the day, but I should have went with the Sealion since a drop is usually more likely this time of year. Hopefully Keith got out there on the SeaLion for an evening sesh?!
All in all, two sessions under warm sunny skies, trunks only, and beautiful water. Ahhh, I love this time of year for Hatteras wavesailing!
Here is a pic from Lifeguard Beach in Buxton. The NPS has Cape Point closed off to vehicle and foot traffic, but once on the water, you can sail anywhere along the area to hit the surf zones. Just do not come into the beach!
UPDATE: Keith's take on riding the SeaLion last night!
Hello. yes I got a great and i mean great session at the light house.. head high, CLEAN peeling waves... must have caught 30 waves in a hour.. i was there from 5-7 absolutely fantastic.
i'm getting better on the lion. i'm amazed that no one didn't build a board like this sooner. this really opens up summertime wave riding. i still can't bottom turn the thing worth a damn but i'm getting much better at all other aspects of the ride. ...you'll have to try the LH (Lighthouse) out on the SW with wrap in swell. super fun. the waves were almost glassy..that's how clean it was.. felt like i was surfing more than windsurfing..
Wanna ride the SeaLion, or better yet have one for the upcoming summer season...?! Contact me for more info regarding demo, rental, and/or purchasing!)

While sitting in my back yard the other day, watching the sun drift slowly down to the horizon as my beloved dogs destroyed stuffies on the lawn, I was reveling in how sweet my life has become. It's every bit as sweet as the fresh organic cherries that I was eating.
In Florida the cherries were not nearly as good. They probably have to be picked slightly unripe in order to be shipped there intact. I had no idea cherries were meant to taste the way they can here in the Pacific Northwest, just as I had no idea life could be this good when I was sweltering in the conservative cultural backwater of ignorance that was Jacksonville, Florida (at least that's how it seemed to me).
Come to think of it, cherries are a microcosm of life on many levels. You can have three of them, side by side, each as plump and red and beautiful as its neighbor, and yet, when you eat the first one, it will be bitter. The next will have no taste whatsoever. But the third… ah, the third! It will be so appealing and juicy and delicious that it will give you the impetus to try more.
The thing is, you never know which cherry you're going to get. You just have to keep trying, never give up, and hope for the best. And when you are rewarded with that perfect cherry experience, the bitter or bland ones will suddenly seem to have been worth it.
Life isn't a bowl of cherries. It's a series of cherries, one after the other– good, bad, or indifferent. I can live with that level of hope and contentment. I'm just glad I'm now in a place where the odds are even more in my favor.

MONDAY, Aug. 12, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- New research is untangling the complex relationship between symptoms of depression and losses in memory and thinking that often emerge together with Alzheimer's disease.
In fact, the new data suggests that "depression symptoms themselves may be among the early changes in the preclinical stages of dementia syndromes," explained study lead author Dr. Jennifer Gatchel. She works in the division of geriatric psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
In the study, researchers examined brain scans and other data gathered over seven years from 276 older adults enrolled in the Harvard Aging Brain Study. All of the participants were still living independently in the community at the beginning of the study and were considered healthy.
However, the analysis revealed a significant link between worsening depression symptoms and mental decline over two to seven years, and both of these trends seemed to be linked to a buildup of amyloid protein in brain tissue.
The slow accumulation of amyloid has long been known as a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
"Our research found that even modest levels of brain amyloid deposition can impact the relationship between depression symptoms and cognitive [thinking] abilities," Gatchel said in a hospital news release.
The new insight that depression symptoms might be part of the Alzheimer's process could further research into the prevention or treatment of the illness, she added.
It "raises the possibility that depression symptoms could be targets in clinical trials aimed at delaying the progression of Alzheimer's disease," Gatchel said, so "further research is needed in this area."
The researchers stressed that not all older adults with depression and amyloid buildup will have memory and thinking declines, however. That suggests that other factors -- for example, brain metabolism, or the volume of the brain's memory center, the hippocampus -- could link depression and mental decline.
Other mechanisms -- including brain degeneration caused by the protein tau (another protein long associated with Alzheimer's), high blood pressure and inflammation -- might play a role and need to be investigated.
Overall, the findings suggest that depression could have multiple causes and might also "work synergistically with amyloid and related processes to affect cognition over time in older adults," Gatchel said.
Two experts in brain health agreed that the study could further dementia research and treatment.
"This is very helpful research in that it identifies behavioral manifestations that may precede a diagnosis of dementia," said Brittany LeMonda, a clinical neuropsychologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "It may alert providers to look into mood changes and depression as early symptoms of an underlying dementia and may allow patients to be diagnosed earlier," she added.
"Whereas in the past, depression and dementia were viewed as separate conditions that could co-occur in the same individual, we have learned now that mood and cognitive symptoms may actually be symptoms of the same underlying condition with shared pathology," LeMonda explained.
Dr. Gayatri Devi is a neurologist and psychiatrist who specializes in memory disorders at Northwell Health in New York City. She said that "depression has long been known to be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, but one question that clinicians contend with is whether depression is a symptom of cognitive loss or whether it is the cognitive impairment that leads to depression."
The new research gets closer to solving that puzzle, Devi said, "and underscores that not only is it important to treat late-life depression, physicians should also be alert to, and evaluate for, cognitive loss in such persons and address that separately, as well."
The new research was published online Aug. 9 in JAMA Network Open.

On Wednesday, Infowars.com reported on an FBI bulletin warning that hackers planned to attack CNN after the Sony hack.Corporate media accepted FBI claim of North Korean involvement despite a complete lack of evidence.
On Thursday, however, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security backed away from that assessment.
No sooner did news of the supposed threat to CNN surface than a man from Tennessee, identified as David Garrett Jr., take to Twitter and announce he had posted the "fake" threat against the corporate media and said he wasn't serious, just "messing around."
My fake pastbin post is being investigated by the FBI. I wrote for CNN to "give us the Wolf" and the FBI is actually taking it as a threat.
— David Garrett Jr. (@DavidGarrettJr) December 31, 2014
After Garrett's claim, the FBI was asked why it would release a bulletin based on uncorroborated information.
"As part of our commitment to public safety, the FBI routinely shares information with the private sector and law enforcement community," a government spokesman said in a statement. "We take all threats seriously and will continue to disseminate relevant information observed during the course of our investigations, in order to help protect the public against any potential threats."
The bulletin states there is no "specific credible information" to indicate any type of "physical threat" and notes "that hacking groups have historically made exaggerated threat statements," but despite this urges law enforcement "to remain vigilant."
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security continue to believe an unidentified hacker group, the Guardians of Peace, are responsible for the Sony attack.
The FBI contends North Korea is behind the attack despite the fact there is virtually no evidence Kim Jong Un or the government of North Korea had anything to do with the hack.
The agency claimed on December 19 it had undisclosed information pointing to North Korea.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Studies on DNA replication stress, genome stability, and human disease.
Research HighlightsReplication Fork Reversal
Replication fork reversal is rapidly emerging as a pivotal mechanism of replication stress response to cancer chemotherapeutics. This work identifies the first molecular mechanism required to restart replication forks that have reversed upon treatment with DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors. It also provides a new rationale to improve current chemotherapeutic modalities based on the use of DNA replication inhibitors. This article was rated as a "must read" by the Faculty of 1000.
Human RECQ1 promotes restart of replication forks reversed by DNA topoisomerase I inhibition. Berti M, et.al., Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 20(3):347-354, 2013. (PMID 23396353).
Replication Stress Response
This work defines new important roles for different human nucleases in replication stress response to cancer chemotherapeutics and opens new avenues to study the link between nucleolytic processing of stalled replication intermediates and chemotherapeutic sensitivity.
DNA2 drives processing and restart of reversed replication forks in human cells. Thangavel S, et.al., . Cell Biol. 208(5):545-562, 2015 (PMID 25733713).
RECQ1 Helicase Structure
This work determines the first DNA complex structures of the human RECQ1 helicase. These structures provide new insight into the RecQ helicase mechanism of DNA tracking, strand separation, and Holliday junction branch migration. This work helps clarify how different RecQ enzymes are uniquely adapted to process potentially recombinogenic DNA structures that arise upon replication stress.
Human RECQ1 helicase-driven DNA unwinding, annealing, and branch migration: insights from DNA complex structures. Pike AC, et.al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 112(14):4286-4291, 2015. (PMID 25831490).
Research Interests
Our laboratory focuses on the mechanisms of DNA replication and repair, and on the possible strategies to target these mechanisms for cancer treatment. Aberrant DNA replication is one of the leading causes of mutations and chromosome rearrangements associated with several cancer related pathologies. At the same time, agents that stall or damage DNA replication forks are widely used for chemotherapy, in the attempt to selectively target highly proliferating cancer cells. Our work provides a new rationale to design novel molecularly-guided treatments targeting the pathways of replication stress response to cancer chemotherapeutics.

Our good friend Riccio the Italian sleazy disco superman of Hidden History fame brings us another fine record on his new imprint, Gentleman Recordings. This three track monster - Late Touch has been in the works for a good bit, and we've been anxiously awaiting it's arrival on the fine shelves of our local online record shop for the past month or so. The title track, as well as 'Thrills' are two slightly more uptempo numbers with all the proper discofied elements we love to bits: trademark warm & heavy drums, congas, guitar snippets and lazer sounds, all of which make these two tracks a bit more animated than Riccio's recent outing on Super Value for example, and he wears it well.
I think it's the second tune on the A side that's my pick however: 'Street Life', which serves up the deep, dirtiest and most lo-slung vibe of them all that really puts us in the mood. This one's a proper dreamy affair with a wicked morphed out vocal sample, moody pads and an all round irresistible groove. Perfect package here from the Bolognian slow-disco whizz.
Become the proud owner of this killer slab of wax HERE, and be sure to keep em' peeled for more quality to come on Gentleman Recordings and no doubt much more by team Bologna.

I have everything buttoned up under the hood after months of slowly accumulating parts. It starts and runs but idle sometimes is a little erratic and its running pig rich. I mean to the point where it pours black smoke and fouls the plugs after literally 5 minutes of idling. Im getting koer codes 12, 21, 22, 41, 91, 33. Originally I was getting 98 so its a plus. Ive checked all those sensors, fuel pressure and even unplugged the o2 sensor harness to see if it would run differently since the ecu wouldnt be using the o2 sensor inputs but it didnt make a difference. There is a slight vacuum leak between the upper and lower intake but I wouldnt think it could make the car run this rich.
A few tidbits. I have rebuilt 14# injectors, Ive verified the size from part numbers on a few of them. Im using the fuel injector harness from a mustang because I couldnt find one from a panther. The pinout is the same but some wires had to be extended due to different placement of the egr, iac and tps sensors. Im running an o2 sensor harness from a fox mustang as well from I think an 89 with an aod. Im not sure the pinout is the same but regardless it runs the same with it unplugged. Also I realized all those sensors that were throwing codes share an input and output. Im getting 5v at all the sensors so the input is fine but maybe the output is the issue? I currently have the fuel injector harness grounded to the throttle bracket instead of a fuel rail bolt but would that make a difference?

Firefighters urging people to take extra care around use of electronics
1 May 2018
Fire and Emergency New Zealand is urging people to be vigilant around their use of electronics and other potential fire hazards.
Last night, the organisation conducted a controlled house burn in Palmerston North to draw attention to the issue and demonstrate how quickly fire can spread.
Its national advisor for fire risk management, Peter Gallagher, says it takes less than five minutes for a house fire to become unsurvivable.
"In fact, a room can be entirely engulfed in flames in as little as a minute and a half. That's why it's so important people know what could potentially start a fire in their home, and how they can be prepared if one should break out," he says.
Photo source: Alex White
Of the 3140 house fires fire crews responded to last year, more than 900 were because people didn't look while they cooked, while 435 fires were due to electrical faults or failure, or the way people used electrical devices.
"The number one cause of avoidable house fires has long been unattended cooking, but firefighters have noticed an emerging trend of electronics and electrical appliances being used incorrectly and sparking a fire. While most electrical appliances will operate safely when used the right way, incorrect use can cause them to overheat, which sometimes leads to fires," Mr Gallagher says.
"Leaving laptops, tablets and phones charging while snuggled amongst duvets and other bedding can block their air vents, creating a risk of overheating and potentially starting a fire."
Mr Gallagher says people should always use the right charger supplied with the device, and ensure it is in a well ventilated location, especially if they leave it charging overnight.
"As the use of these devices become more commonplace, it's crucial people know how to use them properly so they can avoid starting a fire."
"Overloaded power sockets is also another issue and we want to remind people not to overload any power sockets or multi-boxes with double adapters. One appliance should be used per power socket."
He advises people to ensure appliance cords are in good condition and aren't frayed, and not to put them under carpets or mats, which can lead to damage and overheating.
"It's about changing people's behaviour, rather than the appliances or electronics themselves. It's what people do, or fail to do with them, that creates the fire risk."
He says the house burn also demonstrated the importance of having working smoke alarms installed.
"Smoke alarms will give you early warning if there's a house fire, and that early detection is lifesaving."
Mr Gallagher says people's best protection is to have working long-life photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, living area and hallway in their home.
The house used for the burn was earmarked for demolition in an area that is being redeveloped, and it was offered to Fire and Emergency for an exercise and to raise awareness around fire safety.
It was filmed live on TVNZ's Seven Sharp and was streamed on the Fire and Emergency Facebook page.

Episode Guide
Credit goes to Wikipedia
Season 1 (26 episodes – first broadcast 2012)
1 Family of Heroes
A spaceship, carrying four members of Rescue Force Sigma-17, receives a distress call from Autobot leader Optimus Prime. The spaceship self-navigates its way to Earth, on the island of Griffin Rock, near Maine, where Optimus Prime assigns the Rescue Bots on a mission: work with the Burns family and learn human customs, while concealing their status as aliens from Cybertron. Heatwave grows enraged to their mandated subservience to the humans and contemplates on leaving Earth. This changes when the Burns must stop an animatronic dinosaur that is attacking the island.
2 Under Pressure
When called to assist Chase and Chief Burns, the rest of the team arrives late at the scene because the siblings are not accustomed to alien robots disguised as their new vehicles. They head out to Mount Magma and work together to alleviate pressure of the underground lava, to their success. But the lava is still being drained to tunnels that lead directly to the bunker of the fire house, where Cody is inside. Dani and Blades spot a watertower and dump its water to stop the lava flow.
3 Hotshots
Dani gives Blades a new scoop claw in order to take a more integral part of the rescue missions. However, the pair manage to complete subsequent missions by themselves, leaving the others out of the action. Kade and Graham argue with Dani about this, while the Rescue Bots threaten to remove the scoop claw from Blades. Blades goes on patrol with Dani and Cody, but are struck by lightning during a storm. The rest of the group settle their differences aside and head out to save them.
4 Flobsters on Parade
After Heatwave grows fed up with maintaining his robot disguise, Chase, Blades, and Boulder must battle hundreds of jagged claws when an enormous swarm of snapping lobsters overruns the annual Griffin Rock summer festival.
5 The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock
Huxley Prescott is determined to dig up scoop about aliens invading planet earth. However he finds that his enthusiasm could indeed put many people in danger. The Rescue Bots also question their disguise to sustain that 'robot' image for the public instead of revealing their true identity.
6 Cody on Patrol
When Cody super-charges his go-kart to help in the team's rescue missions, he accidentally unleashes a swarm of futuristic nanites.
7 Four Bots and a Baby
Cody begrudgingly volunteers to watch over Doc Greene's "Robo-Baby", a robotic baby that simulates the demeanor and actions of a real baby. While playing back at the fire station, Robo-Baby throws a rubber ducky into the sink, where the toy clogs a sewer pipe, eventually causing a sinkhole to appear in front of the town's bank. While the Rescue Bots leave to rescue the people inside the falling building and Cody monitors the situation, the Robo-Baby becomes missing, leaving everyone alarmed. Heatwave uses his olfactory sensors to locate the Robo-Baby climbing up a windmill at the town's windmill farm, and save it from the sharp rotors.
8 Walk on the Wild Side
Boulder decides that the team needs an animal mascot, but maybe a zoo isn't the best place to find one.
9 Christmas in July
The Burns family and the Rescue Bots have to stop a snow storm in July when Doc Greene's weather machine goes haywire.
10 Deep Trouble
A shark targeting high-tech ocean equipment is spotted off the Griffin Rock shore.
11 Return of the Dinobot
An intruder hacks into Griffin Rock's central computer by using Doc Green's pet Dinobot Trex and wreaks havoc.
12 The Other Doctor
A scientist named Dr. Morocco introduces his latest invention, the MorBot, which saves the town from disasters, but also leaves everyone else out of the action. Dr. Morocco successfully convinces Mayor Huxley Prescott into decommissioning the Rescue Bots in favor of his invention.
13 The Reign of Morocco
With the Rescue Bots no longer allowed to save the town, Dr. Morocco terrorizes the town with his invention, for the purpose of getting revenge on Doc Greene and Huxley Prescott. The Rescue Bots take on new hobbies during their downtime. Meanwhile, Cody and Frankie manage to find evidence at Doc Greene's laboratory proving that Dr. Morocco's invention has all been part of a villainous plan.
14 Small Blessings
The Rescue Bots are accidentally shrunk and the Burns family must work without their partners.
15 The Griffin Rock Triangle
The Burns family watches film reels of the Griffin Rock Triangle phenomenon taped by Professor Anna Baranova. They embark on an underwater investigation and stumble upon the Midgard, an underwater laboratory trapped near an ocean trench. They scope the laboratory's interior, where they find Baranova, who has been inside for 28 years. Baranova initially refuses to leave her new home, but, after being persuaded by Cody's reasoning to move back to Griffin Rock, detonates her laboratory.
16 Rules and Regulations
When Heatwave leads his team into a lethal situation, against Chief Burn's orders, Chase must find a way to help them, while following the rules.
17 The Lost Bell
The Rescue Bots and Cody get separated from the Burns family during a thunderstorm, and drift to a remote island. There, the team learns how to survive like pioneers. They also locate a pirate ship, and inside lays a bell that was stolen from Griffin Rock by pirates about 200 years ago. The next morning, the team departs the island on their way back to Griffin Rock, with the bell on their pirate boat, and they are able to locate and reunite with the family.
18 Bumblebee to the Rescue
The Rescue Bots and the Burns family investigate a meteor that has landed on Wayward Island. Bumblebee arrives at the island to join the group. Receiving directions from Optimus Prime remotely, the Autobots successfully destroy the meteor, but its particle components act as a parasite, causing a paralytic effect on them. Using a meteor sample they obtained, the Burns create an antidote that reverses said effect.
19 You've Been Squilshed
Doc Greene acquires a slimy green compound, the "Squilsh", from Mars, and summons it to life with a mild electric shock. The Squilsh devours anything in its path and grows progressively bigger after each meal, and it eventually rampages through Griffin Rock. Graham and Boulder apply their engineering skills to hands-on experience of defeating the creature.
20 Countdown
Doc Greene accidentally releases a swarm of bugs from the town's museum, the Hall of Inspiration. As the bugs disperse throughout Griffin Rock, the citizens mysteriously disappear and are teleported to an underground cavern. Cody and Frankie contact Professor Anna Baranova, who explains that these bugs are called "tracers", programmed to protect the town's population from a forthcoming cataclysm. The location of the cavern, however, has never been disclosed historically, so the Rescue Bots are forced to figure out such location in order to save the fettered citizens.
21 The Haunting of Griffin Rock
The Burns receive mass calls of ghostly spirits supposedly haunting Griffin Rock. In an analysis conducted by Frankie, these supposed phantoms are revealed to be merely holograms depicting the town's pioneers. These holograms were also used as a ruse for two escaped convicts to engage in criminal actions unnoticed. Pioneer Charlotte Wayne (also known as the Lady of Griffin Rock), however, is witnessed to be a potentially real ghost, because she has never been registered into the town museum's database, so there exists no corresponding hologram for her.
22 Little White Lies
The kids are covertly planning a surprise birthday party for their father. Chief Burns tells them he is heading to the docks, but actually takes a trip to the bakery for a cake, as a present for his family, thinking that they forgot his birthday. Chase discovers this to be a lie and is confounded by this. While setting up the party back home, the kids and the other Rescue Bots realize that Chase and Chief Burns are missing, and search the entire town. Eventually they discover the two trapped inside an underground mine, and save them from the flooding water and falling rocks.
23 Shake Up
Seismic waves shake Griffin Rock, but they are artificial and caused by a reverberating woofer hidden underground. Such a loudspeaker is inadvertently connected remotely to Doc Greene's jukebox, where Doc Greene is practicing his dance moves. Meanwhile, Frankie creates a music video that includes footage of the Rescue Bots. Suspicious, she follows them into an underground tunnel during their mission to remove the loudspeaker inside, and attempts to converse with Heatwave. When the rocks are falling from the tunnel ceiling, Heatwave breaks from his "robot" character to save her, during which she finally learns of the Rescue Bot's secret.
24 Rescue Boy
Doc Greene invents a repulsor badge that allows the wearer to be invincible. Cody uses it to participate more on the front lines, in missions with the rest of his family, against Chief Burns' concern of his safety. His superhero status, however, is halted when his repulsor badge is overloaded and projects a nonstop field, enclosing him inside. Boulder uses neutralizing gloves, also invented by Doc Greene, to bypass the repulsive field and successfully remove the badge from Cody, shortly before it detonates.
25 It's a Bot Time
Doc Greene calls the entire Burns family to demonstrate testing of an abandoned time machine. He sends his helper bot Dither into the time warp, which takes the Rescue Bots, Cody, and Frankie along with them. They are transported into the year 1939, with no discernible method of returning to the present. Optimus Prime—informed by Chief Burns of the dilemma—and Bumblebee also travel back to 1939, to provide their Energon (the predominant energy of the Autobots) needed to repower the machine. All the time travelers manage to return to the present, but much to their devastation discover that the timeline has been altered, as they had inadvertently left Dither behind in the past.
26 Bot to the Future
The present-day town of Griffin Rock, renamed "Moropolis", is ruled by Doctor Morocco and his MorBots. The protagonists scourge the town and arrive at the Hall of Inspiration, where they encounter Chief Burns, who, despite having no memories of them, takes them to his fire station. Morocco calls upon an entire armada of his MorBots to launch a mass attack. The Burns family retaliate with their Mobile Headquarters (MHQ) vehicle; the Autobots partake in smashing the MorBots. The group returns to the past with the MHQ, where Heatwave reclaims Dither, and travel back to the present day, with their original timeline restored. Chief Burns says at the end of the episode that the MHQ might come in handy.

The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) has voiced concerns regarding the proposed takeover of Aer Lingus by IAG. Pat Dawson, CEO of the ITAA said, "We would have some reservations with regard to the proposed takeover of Aer Lingus by IAG. It is crucial that the existing slots between Dublin, Cork, Shannon and Heathrow Airport are protected and maintained. We realise that a long term agreement to this effect may be difficult to secure, but everything that can be done should be done now". Mr Dawson continued, "The ITAA would see value for money and greater choice for Irish consumers as being a vital part of the negotiations and central to any agreement reached. It is our opinion that the Aer Lingus brand and all that it encompasses is worth more than the €1.35 billion currently proposed. Aer Lingus is a worldwide brand viewed by many as providing a friendly and safe service both at home and abroad. "We would …Read More »

Near where I live my local town had a christmas market and fireworks display.. I never get to go to things like this due to my roster or whatever else can be in the way. But this year I was completely free! Which made me super happy, I went with Alex and it was the loveliest festive day. We started with walks around the park, grabbed Costa Billionaire Hot Chocolates because they are life - if you havent tried it, DO IT! And then we met with my brother for a little while, had a walk around the christmas stalls and.... got another hot chocolate. I am slowly becoming obsessed. We then went off on our own for a bit before then meeting with my mum and dad which was lovely.
Yes I decorated this gingerbread man myself... and I was and still am very proud of how he looks!
We then went to the fair, which I mean, it was good.. its no winter wonderland though. But it had a massive carousel which I had to ride. We then watched the fireworks together before heading out for dinner at a local cute cosy pub.
Nothing compares to wintery days in England with the ones you love, making memories before christmas! The build up to christmas really is the best bit. Other than giving presents!!
Thanks for reading dolls x

A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy, sold by private companies, can help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.Read more
Term Insurance is the simplest form of life insurance. It pays only if death occurs during the term of the policy, which is usually from one to 30 years.
Whole life or permanent insurance pays a death benefit whenever you die—even if you live to 100!
There are several different types of individual, family insurance plans grouped into three primary categories:
(1) Indemnity (generally called: dental insurance);
(2) Preferred Provide Network dental plans (PPO);
(3) Dental Health Managed Organizations (DHMO)
We are INS Marketing Systems located in the DFW area of Texas and represent many of the top issuers. Our company began as a family owned and operated agency over 40 years ago. We now serve agents and consumers across the state of Texas. Thanks for allowing us an opportunity to assist you and your family through the entire process.

You can sign up for Medicare beginning three months before you turn 65, and coverage can start as soon as the first day of your birthday month. The initial enrollment period lasts until three months after your 65th birthday.
Part A. Also called hospital insurance, Medicare Part A covers the cost if you are admitted to a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or hospice. It also covers some home health services. Most people are enrolled automatically in Part A when they reach age 65
Medigap is extra health insurance that you buy from a private company to pay health care costs not covered by Original Medicare, such as co-payments, deductibles, and health care if you travel outside the U.S. Medigap policies don't cover long-term care, such as stays in a nursing facility, or dental care, vision care,
If you have Original Medicare, the government pays for Medicare benefits when you get them. Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called "Part C" or "MA Plans," are offered by private companies approved by Medicare. Medicare pays these companies to cover your Medicare benefits.
Medicare Part D, also called the Medicare prescription drug benefit, is a United States federal-government program to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs and prescription drug insurance premiums for Medicare beneficiaries.
Medicare SNPs are a type of Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO). Medicare SNPs limit membership to people with specific diseases or characteristics, and tailor their benefits, provider choices, and drug formularies to best meet the specific needs of the groups they serve.

Pricing Long-Lived Securities in Dynamic Endowment Economies
Jerry Tsai, Jessica A. Wachter
NBER Working Paper No. 24641
We solve for asset prices in a general affine representative-agent economy with isoelastic recursive utility and rare events. Our novel solution method is exact in two special cases: no preference for early resolution of uncertainty and elasticity of intertemporal substitution equal to one. Our results clarify model properties governed by the elasticity of intertemporal substitution, by risk aversion, and by the preference for early resolution of uncertainty. Finally, we show in a general setting that the linear relation between normal-times covariances and expected returns need not hold in a model with rare events.

Featured in the Lakeshore Weekly News
I'm convinced more than ever that how we choose to view a situation affects the outcome. There is the cliche question of do you see the glass half empty or do you see the glass half full?
When you see the glass as half full, you are grateful for what is there. When you see the glass half empty, you are resentful over what is not there. Gratitude has a way of turning what we have into enough. Interestingly, showing gratitude toward a person or behavior encourages more of that behavior.

At least nine Heads of State are confirmed to attend the 12th Unites States-Africa Business Summit in Maputo, Mozambique, a high-profile event that will run from June 18th to June 21st, 2019.
The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) has announced that King Mswati III, Kingdom of Eswatini; Filipe Nyusi, President of Mozambique; Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda; Hage Geingob, President of Namibia; Uhuru Kenyatta, President of Kenya; José Mário Vaz, President of Guinea-Bissau; Peter Mutharika, President of Malawi; Edgar Lungu, President of Zambia; and Mokgweetsi Masisi, President of Botswana are scheduled to attend the event.
The CCA is a business association focused solely on connecting business interests between the United States and Africa.
As such, the Summit will bring together more than 1,000 leading US and African private sector executives, international investors, senior government officials and multilateral stakeholders.
Under the theme 'Advancing a Resilient and Sustainable Partnership', CCA's 2019 Summit will engage key US and African government officials and decision makers to discuss their strategies, vision and initiatives to facilitate increased business and investment.
The Summit will provide several opportunities for business executives to meet heads-of-state, ministers and high-level US and African government decision makers to advocate for their business interests.
Since its inception in 1997, the Summit has been considered an essential conference for United States and African private sector executives, government officials and multilateral stakeholders interested in doing business in Africa.
In line with this and as part of its mandate, CCA uniquely represents a broad cross section of member companies from small and medium size businesses to multinationals as well as US and African firms.
The Summit will therefore serve as a platform for businesses to hear from leading US and African industry experts on best practices in sectors including agribusiness, energy, health, infrastructure, ICT and finance.
It will help to explore new business and investment opportunities, meet and network with potential business partners and obtain real-time leads; and advocate to shape effective US-Africa trade and investment policies.
