Towcar of the Month: People Movers
Got a sizeable brood, or like to tour with the extended family? Caravan investigates four great seven and eight-seater towcars
Words by John Sootheran
Citroën SpaceTourer
At almost five metres long, this vehicle delivers practicality and versatility by the bucket load!
The interior space is vast, and its clever seating means you can arrange the interior to carry eight full-sized humans and some luggage, or an oversized Victorian wardrobe and enough people to lift it. I've slept in smaller bedrooms!
Style doesn't score highly with lower-spec models, but move up the range and small design touches (like two parallel, long, slim sunroofs) boost the chic quotient. Mind you, our fully-loaded test vehicle had a 42-grand price tag!
Citroën quotes kerbweights from just 1,660kg, which seems astonishingly low, and will limit you to lighter caravan ranges.
The SpaceTourer's definitely a 'grower'. At first, the cheap dash plastics offended, but I soon overlooked that as the side doors slid open electronically and I had seven happy passengers all travelling in comfort. Performance in our 180bhp diesel version was impressive, with great
pull away and in-gear acceleration through the auto 'box. That's more than enough oomph to pull a mid-sized caravan.
The boxy body sits on the same platform as the Citroën C4 Picasso. For me, the handling has been degraded. Push on, and it was tricky to direct the Citroën really accurately, though this won't affect the average towcar driver. Its ride quality was decent enough, though, and body-roll not too bad for a big beast.
The SpaceTourer isn't cheap, but its £33k to £42k price tag will plummet in the used car
market, making this a two-year-old bargain for those seeking true practicality, combined with pretty-decent driving manners. The only drawback will be fitting all those kids into a caravan that will pull it! (Ed: you could try the six-berth 2017 Xplore 586 at 1,350 kg!). Anyway, I'm a fan.
Fact File
Price £33,185
Seats 8
Kerbweight 1,660 kg
Ford S-Max
This stylish seven-seater has always 'tickled my fancy', as it blends handsome and purposeful looks with excellent performance and lots of space.
Choose from two EcoBoost petrol engines or four TDCi diesel lumps to power your S-Max – all provide ample torque and power for efficient and safe towing, providing you choose a 'van to match, and keep your revs up in the powerband (that's 2,000rpm or above).
A substantial kerbweight of 1,838kg also means it'll pull a 'van big enough to house all
those passengers.
Ford has placed ride and handling high on its wish list for decades now, and this accomplished people-mover won't disappoint in either department. Steering is pleasingly sharp and the driving's easy. I'd recommend the eight-speed auto 'box for towing, though the smooth and accurate six-speed manual is superb, too.
The passengers in the third row won't appreciate those in front sliding their seats back, as legroom becomes limited, so this car suits young families rather than basketball teams, but, all in all, it's a great performer.
Fact File
Price £28,410
Seats 7
Kerbweight 1,838 kg
VW Transporter Shuttle
The scores speak for themselves. The latest version of this iconic vehicle has retained its quality and character to maintain a position at the top of the people-carrying pile!
In typical German style, it offers an understated luxury. There's no 'flash'; everything just works… simply and efficiently.
Kerbweight varies, depending on what spec you prefer, but even the lightest model will pull almost every caravan on the UK market. Combine with excellent road manners, and you have a superb towcar and an everyday runaround all in one! It is a vehicle that's as happy on an urban school run, as a 1,000-mile tow to the south of France.
Power, ride and handling are all good, though we'd opt for the 150bhp model to ensure we had enough 'go' when we need it.
A sensational all-rounder, that will hold its value better than any other car here.
Fact File
Price £34,917
Seats 8-9
Kerbweight 2,056 kg
Hyundai i800
It's made in Korea, so the purists may scoff, but Hyundai's i800 does everything you'd expect of it, rather well.
For starters, it's huge, with loads of space for eight, and all their luggage. Lovers of BIG caravans will appreciate its 2,185 kg kerbweight… you could pull an Airstream with that (albeit the titchy one!).
It costs half as much as the Merc equivalent that does the same job… and it has a five-year warranty, so you can keep it for three years and sell it with two years peace of mind remaining.
Our Oriental cousins have got the hang of car design in recent years, too, making the i800 one of the better-looking people-carriers out there, despite using plastics that are more Mattel than Mercedes.
Drive-wise, the i800's low-tune 2.5 CRDi diesel engine produces a modest 140bhp and 253lb/ft of torque at just 1,500rpm. That makes it a decent tow vehicle, but we'd still opt for the 175bhp version, for its extra punch.
Altogether a practical buy for the financially-astute caravanner who's not prepared to pay for status symbols.

The "Coolest" Corporate Event Ideas Start HereAngelique Laaks
Have you been tasked with finding unique and creative corporate event ideas? Is your year-end office function looming and you are looking for something interesting and not just an open bar and an overexcited DJ?
We'd like to help, perhaps offer some insights into what corporate event ideas will result in a successful and memorable day for all concerned.
Choosing a Type of Corporate Event
If you've been trawling through the internet looking at different corporate event ideas, then you must know that it can be a bit of a rabbit hole.
Company events can vary greatly and can include:
- Conferences
- Seminars
- Golfing events
- Staff retreats
- Product launches
- Celebrating company milestones
- Team building events
- Corporate family fun days
- Fundraising or charity events
Whatever event you're planning for, however, we're sure that you want it to be memorable, appropriate, and stress-free.
If you're choosing a less formal event and something with a little fun, then we have some creative ideas to make your business event interesting.
Fun Corporate Event Ideas
Ice Skating
Ice skating? Absolutely!
Before you start fretting about the weather, the safety of your staff, families or clients or the logistics of arranging and setting up an ice-skating rink, we'd like to give you some valuable information.
Synthetic ice rinks are one of the easiest and most entertaining additions to a corporate event.
A synthetic ice rink from Ice Magic:
- Is made of a hard compound which mimics the feeling of ice
- Can be set up on almost any flat surface
- Clips together seamlessly in varying sizes depending on your needs
- Requires no energy to function
- Comes with barriers and safety personnel to care for your event attendees
- Skates, skating-penguin buddies and blade sharpeners are all provided
- A DJ can be provided as part of the package
- Is set up and removed by our competent team
Whatever the weather or size of your function, a synthetic ice rink is a great addition. Ice skating is a gentle aerobic exercise where people of all ages can relax and have fun in a safe environment.
An ice rink can be set up indoors or outdoors, it can be branded for promotional purposes, and can form part of a festival lasting from a day to a week.
Team Challenges
Nothing gets the adrenaline going quite like a team sporting challenge.
A seasoned events company such as Simply The Best Events offers an incredible range of activities which are bound to bring out a little friendly rivalry and a whole lot of fun. For example:
- The labyrinth challenge
- It's a Knockout
- Laser Tag
- Dodgems
- Motorised races
As far as corporate event ideas go, a day out for the team on a 50ft soapy inflatable obstacle course followed by delicious food and cocktail making sounds tremendous.
Roller Party
It's hard to beat the excitement of a roller-skating company party!
Being a little more user-friendly than an ice-skating rink, a roller party is sure to bring out the 80s child in everyone; what with a little disco lighting, a safe and smooth indoor or outdoor surface, and many happy memories of roller-discos of yesteryear.
Roller Magic is your best bet here, as they supply everything you'll need from rink to skates and can set up your event anywhere in the country.
What You Need For a Successful Corporate Event
Did any of our (awesome) ideas strike a chord?
We hope so.
The bottom line, when planning a corporate event is to make sure you can check off the following essentials:
- Do I understand the demographics of my attendees?
- Is my corporate event idea appropriate for the purpose of the event?
- Is my location easy to find and of a suitable size?
- Do I have appropriate entertainment for my audience?
- Do I understand the location, timing and setup requirements?
- Will everyone be safe?
- Do I trust that each vendor will do their part?
If you're still a little stumped and feel that you need more information (or more ideas) please pick up the phone and have a chat with one of our friendly team members.
We've been creating fun, unique and memorable corporate events for decades.

Old Photographs
I seem to have been presented with some new elements by WordPress which I certainly didn't mean to ask for. I like everything staying the same! How do I get back to my old trusty way of doing things? (Oh go on, read the book, not just the first two chapters). I spent yesterday looking through a chest of papers that I haven't seen for about ten years, and I find photographs from long ago. Two things I thought I had lost in transit: a photograph of Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes, taken by a photographer who worked for Faber and who gave me this copy as a present, which photograph somehow seems to have detached itself from its frame; and a photograph of myself, my grandfather, my grandmother, mother, father and little brother in romper suit in the porch of a faraway house near Chailey Common, a photograph I included in a painting but then could not find as I gave it to someone to look at and now don't know where it is; this is a near equivalent, taken at more or less the same moment, it has always meant a lot to me, I am the little girl half-leaning against my Granny's skirts. I also found a box of slides from 1984 which I have never seen before. And there is a letter to my mother which I cannot remember writing, saying how my young son used to call Sigmund Freud Sycamore Fraud. I never throw anything away. I don't know why the old photograph means so much to me, it is imprinted in my heart. I look a tad dour, all the same, and was even more morose in the photograph I used for the painting. The painting is about the people in the photograph. A bientot.
Shadow of the Geranium
"Shadow of the Geranium" feels like the title of a South American magical realist novel. Maybe I should have it as the title of a book I mean to write some time with Brighton in the 60s as its setting, though I am not quite sure how I will weave in the geranium. The scent of the leaves reminds me of the terrace outside my Granny's house in Chailey, Sussex. These geraniums are in the window-boxes outside out kitchen window, and sometimes the afternoon sun strikes the net curtains in a particular way.
Evening Primrose
These flowers grew in an untended corner of the vegetable garden in my Grandmother's house in Steeple Aston, a patch which backed on to Iris Murdoch's garden, where everyone else trespassed except me, who went another route and was the only one who was caught and told off. We used to make jumps down the path between the vegetables and pretend to be show-jumpers. I had long lists of horses' names in a notebook. Another world, another time. I have always liked these plants, but have seen them rarely growing wild, so enjoy them each year when they flower, high up above the Tweed, a few hundred yards from the border between Scotland and England, which for the next six days at least will be part of the same Kingdom.
Running Hare: All That Was
A hare painting for an exhibition entitled "Running With The Hare" at Harestanes Country Visitor Centre, painted two months ago but just finished now as it needs to be sent off to be framed. The mixed exhibition will be on from April 1st until May 26th, and will include painting, prints, sculpture, drawings, photography, 17th Dutch and new tiles, and textiles.
A Poem from "Old Merlaine"
This is a poem from a book of poems that were published by William Heinemann many years ago. This has been a grey, wet, light-starved day, so I thought a watery poem and a black and white illustration would be appropriate, while I search through the somewhat bleak, rain- spotted photographs I took today, looking for some colour in the almost monochrome landscape of the Scottish Borders.
A Walk by the Tweed: Berries, Birds, Broken Boxes
The gulls have flocked inland, and are standing where Tweed water is shallow. There are no boats on the river round here, so I am the only person disturbing the birds. I like their white wings against the dark maroon of the ploughed earth, where the phacelia grew in high summer. There are boats left tied up here and there all along the river, and I photograph one of them, with its eddy of scum. I try and photograph little boats, as they often come into my illustrations (it was once remarked that the spindly oars I had drawn wouldn't get anyone anywhere fast):
The barley has all gone, but the stubble is still left in this field, beside the grass alongside the river which is thick and wet this afternoon, with red clover sprung up since I last walked this way:
Swans as well as gulls stand in the shallows:
But one swan is swimming near the edge of the opposite bank with its brood:
As I turn up the lane towards the little wood that leads back into Coldstream, I see the blackberries in a transitional state, and the elderberries ripening:
And then come across something more unexpected, standing amidst the cleared clods of earth at the edge of the field:
Some rage here, perhaps. When in Sunderland my friend Fred told me of a friend of his who, seeing Mrs Thatch once more upon the screen, picked up the television and hurled it through the window: the house was rented, the television was rented, maybe not such a good idea. My father told my youngest brother, one sunny day: "If you go on sitting there all day watching the television, I'll pick it up and throw it out of the window." My brother: "Go on then." So the television got hurled out of the upstairs window. However… the next day the Test Match was starting, which my father had not taken into account, so we had to trail into Carlisle and buy a new television, which actually worked much better than the old one. All the same, television reception wasn't that good in the Liddel Valley, I can remember that at one time we would take turns to stand with the aerial held out of the window to stop the picture going jagged.
Coming back through the wood, I see the rowan berries, a fine crop this year, which is reputed to mean a cold winter:
Coming out through the wood, I see theseat with its shreds of green, where I have never seen anyone sitting.
It's still a dim day, there is no-one around. On the way back I saw howdy to the horse, in the field once in habited by the two shetland ponies. The horse no longer has his hood on, as most of the flies have gone too. The horse has a melancholy expression. It always comes up to the fence, then after a moment or so ambles off again. It does not strike me as particularly joyous:
Its purple horse-blanket is torn. It would be happier with a donkey, maybe, to keep it company:
I loved horses when I was young, I went from ballerinas to horses, and since I drew a lot even then, I was found drawing ballerinas with horses legs. Not surrealist, just absent-minded. I can't imagine any worlds I would fit in less: The World of Ballet, The World of Horses. But I still think horses are the most beautiful things, even if when I tried to sit upon them I spent most of my life sliding sideways or even down the neck on one occasion when the horse started to graze. I was a bit hopless. We went to Madame Tussauds and I threw a fit because we weren't allowed to go into the Chamber of Horrors – the reason I threw a fit was because I thought it said Chamber of Horses.
I come back down past the cat in the window, who was in an earlier post, but instead is going to finish this one instead:
When my son was young, more than twenty years ago, I remember passing a heap of dusty earth outside a farm gate and seeing a bunch of poppies growing there, and thinking that was some sight, as poppies had almost completely disappeared from the fields of the North. A week or so ago, my husband, who walks about six miles a day, told me that on his walk he had come across a field full of poppies which had been left to grow amongst the rape, and that maybe it was something I would like to see. So on a hot day last week I went out on a longer trek to search out this field. I walked out into this field through the first gate, and waded into the grass beneath an enormous, humming pylon, and started to photograph the poppies there:
Then I heard, above the noise of the pylon and the hum of the summer's day, my voice being called, and saw across the field my husband, in his straw hat and mauve walking jacket, who in the course of his normal walk had caught sight of my head above the rape and poppies and grass. He told me that if we went on down the lane and round the corner there was a good view of the poppies as they stretched away towards the horizon of the field. I followed his advice, and when I got to the spot, leant across the fence and photographed the poppies from there:
Then I walked on furthedown the road which leads to Lennel, and thence to Coldstream, still following the poppies, until I got to a gate right at the edge, which I could get over. There I took some pictures of the poppies close-up, including them waving against the sky, and being blown almost inside-out by the wind:
Since looking at the poppies, I have been painting a boat in a bright poppy colour. Maybe after I have finished the paintings for an exhibition coming up shortly, I might might paint some poppies. Although I may not, because I would not capture their life, their silkiness, their delicacy. Maybe they will find their way into the illustrations for "The Midnight Hare", not all of which takes place at midnight. Whatever comes of my experience of the poppyfield, I went home feeling good.
Field in the Wind
Along a field beside River Tweed the wind was ruffling the young wheat, blowing it across as if it was an acre of silk. I took some close-up pictures of the wheat, they were very green, the greenest pictures I have ever taken, dark green between the stalks, then pale ears and the green sprays, and the surface of the field very pale. Green is a colour I have difficulty with in painting, I hardly use it except that deep fir green, or a very dark viridian with blue and maybe sienna added to it, to muddy it up. There was something about the wind moving across the wheatfield that harked back to an earlier time. Maybe it was the memory of the field of corn that we had opposite the house where we lived near Ardingly in Sussex, when I was a child. I must be haunted by this field, as I sometimes find I have put it in paintings (and then gold-brown, not green); though it has now become intertwined with images of the fields above Oxenrig, those places of hawk and hare, where I like best to walk. In that field of long ago, I remember harvesters putting the crop into stooks, in the late summer evening. The field is still there, I Google-earthed it, and the lane beside it, and the farm in the dip at the end of the lane, with its pond – though if I went back, perhaps it would be completely changed, even if from far up it looks the same.

What is an Orbital Jig Saw?
The jig saw has become one of the most popular power tools in the homeowner's toolbox, right next to the cordless drill-driver. Its ability to cut a wide variety of materials in a straight line or around corners make it an indispensable saw, especially if there is going to be only one in the workshop. The jig saw is available with a limited number of features, and one of the most important choices is to step up to an orbital model.
Cutting Motion
A standard jig saw moves its blade in a reciprocating manner, straight up and down. This is the sawing motion that cuts the material. The orbital jig saw adds a circular motion to the cutting stroke. The blade moves in an elliptical track, lunging out on the cut stroke and back on the retrieve.
The orbital jig saw will make a more aggressive cut when the cutting option is set to orbital. You will notice that as you set the switch or lever to the orbital degree you want to use, the attack angle of the blade changes. This increased attack will cut the material more aggressively but with a slight loss in precision. When cutting tight corners, you will want to reset the cut angle to a straight, reciprocating cut.
Clearing Debris
The reciprocating cut of a jig saw is often slowed by a build-up of dust and chips, because the limited length of the cutting stroke fails to clear them from the gullets of the blade. The orbital cut addresses this issue because the back stroke of the cut moves the blade away from the material, allowing the chips to fall away.
Variable Speeds
Another factor in the precision of a cut is the speed of the blade. You will want to look for an orbital jig saw with variable speeds. This control may be set by a switch on the handle or, on better models, it can be controlled by the pressure on the trigger. This is the better option as you will be able to vary the speed during the cut, starting slow initially and then speeding up as the cut proceeds.
Cost Differences
You will pay slightly more for an orbital jig saw than for a straight reciprocating jig saw. The additional benefits of the variable cutting action make the tool more flexible and easier to use and worthy of the additional investment.

I thought I would quickly share my personal thoughts about two great vegetables that simply don't get the love they deserve.
On keto, we are (rightly) informed to steer clear of starchy vegetables that are high in carbohydrates. NO to potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, yams, corn etc. But… many people insist that onions and garlic should fall into that category too because 'they grow below the ground'. While this is true, and yes they are higher in carbs than the green, leafy veg – I think we should take a closer look at them. Both are standard items in my pantry – and they should be in yours too. Here's why:

Don't Play Chicken with Your Creditors
What I'm saying is, even if it means paying off a minor balance you are disputing or submitting a letter to rescind a dispute so your mortgage process can proceed, you can move on with your life (and home purchase!).
How do our friends at Wikipedia define playing chicken? "The principle of the game is that while each player prefers not to yield to the other, the worst possible outcome occurs when both players do not yield."
At the end of the day, sometimes you need to back down in order to win.

I'm currently on my first road trip shooting footage for Beyond the Notes (see this post for a description of the project). The primary purpose of this trip is to collect material for online videos about American painter Charles Burchfield (1893-1967), the artist who inspired my wind quintet, Watercolors, and orchestral tone poem The Sphinx and the Milky Way. (See this post for more about my interest in Burchfield, and the paintings that inspired Watercolors.)
My pursuit of all things Burchfield has taken me to Buffalo, NY and surroundings, where the painter spent much of his life. Yesterday I visited the Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center in Gardenville, a community center and park on Buffalo creek. There I caught a glimpse of his former home and studio where he lived and painted from 1925 to his death in 1967 (a private home across the street from the park), and filmed and photographed woods and flowers that evoked some of the nature scenes in Burchfield's paintings.
I continued onto the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo to visit the stimulating exhibit Sensory Crossovers: Synesthesia in American Art, which "provides an unprecedented opportunity to consider synesthesia through the work of some of the 20th century's most significant artists—luminaries such as Charles E. Burchfield, Arthur Dove, Max Weber, Joseph Stella, Georgia O'Keeffe and Adolph Gottlieb." (source) It was intriguing to see diverse works from both Modernists and later artists that dealt with the translation of music and sound into visual art. The exhibit features a number of wonderful works by Burchfield (including the bold The Moth and the Thunderclap); excerpts from his sketchbooks on display document a language of abstract forms and symbols, through which he sought to express the music of Sibelius and Wagner.
After taking in the exhibit, I had the pleasure of filming an interview with Nancy Weekly, longtime head curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, co-curator of Sensory Crossovers, and author and editor of a number of essays and books on his work. (I recently enjoyed this book by Weekly.) She was wonderfully generous with her time and expertise, and spoke with me on a number of topics relating to Burchfield's work, including the importance of music in his paintings; and the phenomenon of synesthesia in art.
With this informative interview, I am hopeful that Beyond the Notes will become a valuable and entertaining resource for anyone interested in exploring Burchfield's art—especially visitors who may not have the motivation to seek out books on the topic.
Tomorrow takes me to The Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill, NY, where I'll be shifting my focus back into the 19th century and the monumental landscapes of the Hudson River School.

12-megapixel still photos from the air with the DJI Inspire 1
Quadcopter with Integrated Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal. Forgoing the fixed
landing gear design found on many earlier quadcopters, the Inspire 1 features a
retractable arm system whereby the underside of each prop motor has a foot to
act as a landing pod when the arms are lowered. In-flight, the arms lift up to
provide the camera an unobstructed 360-degree view. A 3-axis gimbal keeps shots
steady and the camera pointed the same direction as the quadcopter banks and
turns. The camera records internally to microSDHC/SDXC memory cards (16GB
inlcuded) and can also beam a live 720p feed to a mobile device running the DJI
Lightbridge app or a monitor or FPV glasses with an HDMI input. Two
transmitters (radio controllers) are included so that one operator can pilot
and another can pan and tilt the camera.
As with many other multi-rotor systems, the Inspire 1 relies on a GPS-based stabilization system that - thanks to spatial awareness - is able to hold a position even when experiencing wind interference, can compensate for overzealous pilot inputs to help avoid stalling, automatically brings the aircraft home in the event of signal loss or at the press of a button, and makes possible a number of semi-automated flight modes that can be enabled through the app. There is also an "indoor" mode which relies on Optical Flow technology - essentially a special camera - provide stability indoors or in other contexts where GPS is unavailable (Note: certain features will be unavailable in indoor mode).
This bundle includes the Inspire 1 along with gimbal and camera, two transmitters, a flight battery and a battery charger, and a tablet holder that mounts on the transmitter. To store and transport the aircraft, a case with fitted cut-outs is included. It holds the Inspire with rotors detached, one or two transmitters, props, spare flight batteries, and more.
This Kit Includes:
- DJI Inspire 1 Quadcopter with 4K Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal
- DJI Transmitter for Inspire 1 Quadcopter

Concept: Non-coding RNA
Genome-Wide Sequencing of Cellular microRNAs Identifies a Combinatorial Expression Signature Diagnostic of Sepsis
Sepsis is a common cause of death in the intensive care unit with mortality up to 70% when accompanied by multiple organ dysfunction. Rapid diagnosis and the institution of appropriate antibiotic therapy and pressor support are therefore critical for survival. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that play an important role in the regulation of numerous cellular processes, including inflammation and immunity.
Widespread purifying selection on RNA structure in mammals
- Nucleic acids research
- Published about 7 years ago
- Discuss
Evolutionarily conserved RNA secondary structures are a robust indicator of purifying selection and, consequently, molecular function. Evaluating their genome-wide occurrence through comparative genomics has consistently been plagued by high false-positive rates and divergent predictions. We present a novel benchmarking pipeline aimed at calibrating the precision of genome-wide scans for consensus RNA structure prediction. The benchmarking data obtained from two refined structure prediction algorithms, RNAz and SISSIz, were then analyzed to fine-tune the parameters of an optimized workflow for genomic sliding window screens. When applied to consistency-based multiple genome alignments of 35 mammals, our approach confidently identifies >4 million evolutionarily constrained RNA structures using a conservative sensitivity threshold that entails historically low false discovery rates for such analyses (5-22%). These predictions comprise 13.6% of the human genome, 88% of which fall outside any known sequence-constrained element, suggesting that a large proportion of the mammalian genome is functional. As an example, our findings identify both known and novel conserved RNA structure motifs in the long noncoding RNA MALAT1. This study provides an extensive set of functional transcriptomic annotations that will assist researchers in uncovering the precise mechanisms underlying the developmental ontologies of higher eukaryotes.
LNCipedia: a database for annotated human lncRNA transcript sequences and structures
- Nucleic acids research
- Published almost 8 years ago
- Discuss
Here, we present LNCipedia (http://www.lncipedia.org), a novel database for human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts and genes. LncRNAs constitute a large and diverse class of non-coding RNA genes. Although several lncRNAs have been functionally annotated, the majority remains to be characterized. Different high-throughput methods to identify new lncRNAs (including RNA sequencing and annotation of chromatin-state maps) have been applied in various studies resulting in multiple unrelated lncRNA data sets. LNCipedia offers 21 488 annotated human lncRNA transcripts obtained from different sources. In addition to basic transcript information and gene structure, several statistics are determined for each entry in the database, such as secondary structure information, protein coding potential and microRNA binding sites. Our analyses suggest that, much like microRNAs, many lncRNAs have a significant secondary structure, in-line with their presumed association with proteins or protein complexes. Available literature on specific lncRNAs is linked, and users or authors can submit articles through a web interface. Protein coding potential is assessed by two different prediction algorithms: Coding Potential Calculator and HMMER. In addition, a novel strategy has been integrated for detecting potentially coding lncRNAs by automatically re-analysing the large body of publicly available mass spectrometry data in the PRIDE database. LNCipedia is publicly available and allows users to query and download lncRNA sequences and structures based on different search criteria. The database may serve as a resource to initiate small- and large-scale lncRNA studies. As an example, the LNCipedia content was used to develop a custom microarray for expression profiling of all available lncRNAs.
Centenarians, but not octogenarians, up-regulate the expression of microRNAs
- Scientific reports
- Published over 7 years ago
- Discuss
Centenarians exhibit extreme longevity and a remarkable compression of morbidity. They have a unique capacity to maintain homeostatic mechanisms. Since small non-coding RNAs (including microRNAs) are implicated in the regulation of gene expression, we hypothesised that longevity of centenarians may reflect alterations in small non-coding RNA expression. We report the first comparison of microRNAs expression profiles in mononuclear cells from centenarians, octogenarians and young individuals resident near Valencia, Spain. Principal Component Analysis of the expression of 15,644 mature microRNAs and, 2,334 snoRNAs and scaRNAs in centenarians revealed a significant overlap with profiles in young individuals but not with octogenarians and a significant up-regulation of 7 small non-coding RNAs in centenarians compared to young persons and notably 102 small non-coding RNAs when compared with octogenarians. We suggest that the small non-coding RNAs signature in centenarians may provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms endowing centenarians with extreme longevity.

Structure-based whole genome realignment reveals many novel non-coding RNAs
- Genome research
- Published over 7 years ago
- Discuss
Recent genome-wide computational screens that search for conservation of RNA secondary structure in whole genome alignments (WGAs) have predicted thousands of structural noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). The sensitivity of such approaches, however, is limited due to their reliance on sequence-based whole-genome aligners, which regularly misalign structural ncRNAs. This suggests that many more structural ncRNAs may remain undetected. Structure-based alignment, which could increase the sensitivity, has been prohibitive for genome-wide screens due to its extreme computational costs. Breaking this barrier, we present the pipeline REAPR (RE-Alignment for Prediction of structural ncRNA), which efficiently realigns whole genomes based on RNA sequence and structure, thus allowing us to boost the performance of de novo ncRNA predictors, such as RNAz. Key to the pipeline's efficiency is the development of a novel banding technique for multiple RNA alignment. REAPR significantly outperforms the widely-used predictors RNAz and EvoFold in genome-wide screens; in direct comparison to the most recent RNAz screen on D. melanogaster, REAPR predicts twice as many high-confidence ncRNA candidates. Moreover, modEncode RNA-Seq experiments confirm a substantial number of its predictions as transcripts. REAPR's advancement of de novo structural characterization of ncRNAs complements the identification of transcripts from rapidly accumulating RNA-Seq data.
Computational Identification and Functional Predictions of Long Noncoding RNA in Zea mays.
Computational analysis of cDNA sequences from multiple organisms suggests that a large portion of transcribed DNA does not code for a functional protein. In mammals, noncoding transcription is abundant, and often results in functional RNA molecules that do not appear to encode proteins. Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) appear to have epigenetic regulatory function in humans, including HOTAIR and XIST. While epigenetic gene regulation is clearly an essential mechanism in plants, relatively little is known about the presence or function of lncRNAs in plants.
Long non-coding RNAs function annotation: a global prediction method based on bi-colored networks.
- Nucleic acids research
- Published over 7 years ago
- Discuss
More and more evidences demonstrate that the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play many key roles in diverse biological processes. There is a critical need to annotate the functions of increasing available lncRNAs. In this article, we try to apply a global network-based strategy to tackle this issue for the first time. We develop a bi-colored network based global function predictor, long non-coding RNA global function predictor ('lnc-GFP'), to predict probable functions for lncRNAs at large scale by integrating gene expression data and protein interaction data. The performance of lnc-GFP is evaluated on protein-coding and lncRNA genes. Cross-validation tests on protein-coding genes with known function annotations indicate that our method can achieve a precision up to 95%, with a suitable parameter setting. Among the 1713 lncRNAs in the bi-colored network, the 1625 (94.9%) lncRNAs in the maximum connected component are all functionally characterized. For the lncRNAs expressed in mouse embryo stem cells and neuronal cells, the inferred putative functions by our method highly match those in the known literature.
NucBase, an easy to use read mapper for small RNAs
- Mobile DNA
- Published over 7 years ago
- Discuss
BACKGROUND: High-throughput deep-sequencing technology has generated an unprecedented number of expressed sequence reads that offer the opportunity to get insight into biological systems. Several databases report the sequence of small regulatory RNAs which play a prominent role in the control of transposable elements (TE). However, the huge amount of data reported in these databases remains mostly unexplored because the available tools are hard for biologists to use. RESULTS: Here we report NucBase, a new program designed to make an exhaustive search for sequence matches and to align short sequence reads from large nucleic acid databases to genomes or input sequences. NucBase includes a graphical interface which allows biologists to align sequences with ease and immediately visualize matched sequences, their number and their genomic position. NucBase identifies nucleic motives with strict identity to input sequences, and it capably finds candidates with one or several mismatches. It offers the opportunity to identify "core sequences" comprised of a chosen number of consecutive matching nucleotides. This software can be run locally on any Windows, Linux or Mac OS computer with 32-bit architecture compatibility. CONCLUSIONS: Since this software is easy to use and can detect reads that were undetected by other software, we believe that it will be useful for biologists involved in the field of TE silencing by small non-coding RNAs. We hope NucBase will be useful for a larger community of researchers, since it makes exploration of small nucleic sequences in any organism much easier.
MicroRNAs in age-related diseases
- EMBO molecular medicine
- Published over 7 years ago
- Discuss
Aging is a complex process that is linked to an increased incidence of major diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, but also cancer and immune disorders. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally control gene expression by inhibiting translation or inducing degradation of targeted mRNAs. MiRNAs target up to hundreds of mRNAs, thereby modulating gene expression patterns. Many miRNAs appear to be dysregulated during cellular senescence, aging and disease. However, only few miRNAs have been so far linked to age-related changes in cellular and organ functions. The present article will discuss these findings, specifically focusing on the cardiovascular and neurological systems.

Joe Hardly stretched his arms and looked across the den at his elder brother Frank. "I'm bored," he faked a yawn, "We haven't busted any crime in ages."
Just as well, Frank thought, after the whopping their dad had given them last time. "You want another whipping?" he asked.
Frank rubbed the palm of his hand across the seat of his jeans. His dick stirred as he recalled the sight of his brother bent over dad's knee in the parlour. His pants were at his feet and his shorts at his shins and his dad pounded the twenty-year-old's naked buttocks with a brush. He could still hear the yelps Joe made as the monster wood cracked into taut bare flesh.
Dad also kept a paddle hanging on a nail in the woodshed. There was an old worn razor strop next to it in case dad wanted a little variety. And, he wasn't afraid to use either of them.
"Well," Joe grinned, "We can't always be right." He didn't resent his dad's beating. It was an occupational hazard. You win some you lose some. "That guy could have been a master criminal." He meant a shady character the two boys had been tailing for a week, waiting for him to make his criminal move. "He wore a black hat and a black coat; why was he dressed like a gangster?"
"Because he worked in a funeral home!" his brother retorted, slamming down the magazine he was reading on the coffee table.
"C'mon Frank," Joe was not deterred by one little failure, "Let's go to the shore, there are bound to be smugglers," he paced the room and stood at the door. "Or there will be some criminal on the run hiding out in a cave." He turned on his heels and left.
"Blast my kid brother," Frank said in his mind as he rushed to catch Joe at the front door.

The Cisco 210-250 course is designed to provide the students with detailed knowledge and in-depth understanding of the basic principles of cybersecurity, and help them know how to use the Kali hacking tools. It is meant to give comprehensive knowledge concerning the cybersecurity's basic principles, the primary skills needed for an individual to gain more advance knowledge of the associated level, as well as the understanding of the foundation that is needed to prepare for the 210-250 SECFND, or Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals exam. After the completion of this course, one will find helpful ways of earning the globally recognized the CCNA Cyber Ops certificate.
The Cisco course is a professionally planned training that enables the individuals to pass the 210-250 certification exam. Taking this course is a great way to obtain the CCNA Cyber Ops credential. The training also comes with self-eLearning when the students can access videos and tutorials at any time and learn at their own pace. As a student taking this course, you can easily go back to previous lessons and review the topics and ideas that you have somehow forgotten.
The Cisco course comes with very minimal requirements. The requirements for this course are usually mandatory for one to take the CCNA Cyber Ops certification exam. For instance, you should know how to use the Internet and operating systems. You should also have the basic knowledge of networks. Besides these requirements, you should also be passionate about learning this course.
The main focus of the Cisco 210-250 course is to help the individuals have the ability to identify, describe, and compare a range of network concepts, as well as to help them understand the basics of cryptography's principles. The training also shows you how to describe and compare various fundamental security concepts. After the completion of this course, you will also be able to understand the attacks at the endpoint, which includes the interpretation of specified events of Windows and Linux. Besides, the course also shows the students how to describe network applications and security challenges, and also equips the applicants with knowledge of security monitoring.
The course is divided into two phases, they include SECOPS and SECFND. That is, the course covers all the topics covered in these two Cisco certification exams. For instance, the training course covers the concepts that are related to the foundation, which is what the SECFND certification exam covers. On the same note, the other phase of the Cisco 210-250 training course covers the topics related to the principles and concepts of security operations, which are actually what the SECOPS certification exam is all about. The training also prepares you adequately for the growth of knowledge and skills as you are planning to start working with SOC.
The Cisco 210-250 course covers various topics, including the following ones:
The course is targeted at the individuals who want to obtain practical skillset that can be applied when dealing with the risk of online threats, such as Trojans, cybercriminals, tracker, and hackers among others.
The Cisco 210-250 course is an ideal training for anyone who wants to join the growing network security market. It is extremely important as it enables one to acquire the CCNA Cyber Ops certification, which has become a highly valued credential due to the fact that the network security market has very few professionals.

Carlton II didn't stay long in Equatorial Guinea before covering the last 280 km (174 miles) and reaching his new location in central Gabon. He is now 17 km (10 miles) south of the small town of Booue and just south of the Equator. He is in exactly the same area as he spent the 2018/19 winter, arriving on November 7 and departing on February 3.

Carlton II arrives at his wintering grounds
11 Nov 2019
Carlton II in equatorial Africa
07 Nov 2019
True to last year's timings, Carlton II has moved onwards dring the first week of November. This year he has flown slightly further south, bypassing Cameroon, and settling on nearby Equatorial Guinea to feed up before he, presumably, presses on into Gabon andthe dense forest of the Congo Basin as last year. His most recent trip covered over 1035km (645 miles) and has taken him close to the town of Anisoc.
Senan moves on
07 Nov 2019
Senan had been in Burkina Faso since 21 August but signals on the 5 November show he was ready for change of scenery. He left the location he has spent the last 13 weeks in and travelled 350km (220 miles) south-east to Benin. He is currently on the southern edge of the Wari Maro Forest Reserve.
PJ in the Congo
04 Nov 2019
After a week in Cameroon, PJ has flown 687 km (427 miles) south to his current location in western Republic of the Congo. He is on the southern edge of the 13,500 Km2 Odzala National Park, one of Africa's oldest national parks, in the heart of the Congo Basin. We don't expect PJ to stay here for more than a week or two before progressing on to his wintering grounds in northern Angola.
PJ arrives in Cameroon
24 Oct 2019
Over the last few days PJ has left Nigeria and flown 1,288 km (800 miles) south east into Cameroon. He stopped briefly en-route just south of the Nigerian capital Abuja, before pressing on across the border into Cameroon. He is now in the Adamawa region of Cameroon and just north of the large Mbam Djerem National Park. He stopped in exactly the same area between 3 October and 20 November 2018 and visited close by on his spring migration earlier this year. We expect him to visit Congo next on his way to Angola where he usually over winters.
Tennyson in the Republic of Congo
03 Oct 2019
Tennyson has quietly continued onwards, flying over the border into the Republic of Congo. He is currently in the Nouabale Ndoki National Park, an area of over 4,000 square kilometers of lowland rainforest. He has chosen a good spot as this is an intact forest ecosystem where wildlife who reside here have had little or no contact with people.
Carlton II pushes East to Nigeria
30 Sep 2019
Carlton II has started the next stage of his migration, leaving his last location in Mali and flying 1,434 km (891 miles) East to Nigeria, via a brief stop-off in Benin. Carlton II is now in the Dagida Game Reserve in western Nigeria. In 2018, Carlton II spent two and a half weeks in this game reserve from mid October to early November before pressing on through Cameroon to Gabon, where he spent the winter.
PJ set to move shortly?
25 Sep 2019
PJ has been in northern Nigeria since early August and, looking back at previous years data, could be on the move shortly to Cameroon. In the last couple of years he has arrived there in the first week of October, later making his way south to winter in Angola. Keep watching this space!
Tennyson arrives in Cameroon
18 Sep 2019
Over the last few days Norfolk Cuckoo Tenysson has flown 644 km (400 miles) south from Nigeria into Cameroon. He is the first of our tagged Cuckoos to make this next leg of the journey and he is now in far eastern Cameroon, close to the border with Central African Republic. It is the rainy season in this area now and the weather today will be between 68 and 83 F (20 to 28 C) with 76% humidity and thunderstorms bringing a 40% chance of rain. This is probably another stop-over point for Tennyson and we expect him to move further south over the coming days or weeks.
Carlton II crosses into Mali
09 Sep 2019
Over the weekend Carlton II left Senegal and has flown 534 km (332 miles) east into Mali. He is now in the south eastern part of the Kayes region of Mali, approximately 145 km (90 miles) north west of the capital, Bamako. Cuckoos Valentine and Senan are over the border in Burkina Faso while PJ and Tennyson are more than 1,500 km further east in Nigeria.

LONDON (Reuters) - Euro zone businesses would benefit if efforts were made to encourage the international use of the shared currency, ECB policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Tuesday.
Villeroy recommended making payment transfer systems in euros more efficient and eventually creating a safe euro financial asset that could help stabilize markets.
"A larger use of the euro would help to protect our businesses against foreign exchange risks or legal disputes abroad," Villeroy, who is also head of France's central bank, said in a speech at the London School of Economics.

The importance of concierge counseling for students who study in colleges
The pressure of getting good grades and compete with your fellow students can be quite stressful for most college students. Young age is quite vulnerable, and many students go through anxiety, stress, and depression. The students face problems while getting admission in their desired institutions and also when studying and preparing for examinations. Getting admission in the top colleges of the country is no small feat and not only students but parents also play a part.
Many of the parents want their child studying in the top ranking college and looking for a suitable option to make their dream come true. The new approach that is tailor made to help students excel and take admission to the college of their choice is called 'concierge college counseling' where the student realizes his true potential and can capitalize on it.
Every student is different, and one solution cannot be applied to each student. Every student learns differently and has a thinking method. The concierge services can help parents know the key aspects that the child needs to focus so that he achieves success. Mental illness is quite common and can affect even the most physically healthy individuals. The concierge counseling is a very personalized form of therapy and given by a qualified and experienced psychologist. The thing that makes concierge counseling different than another form of counseling is that the psychologist or counselor spends not few minutes but considerable time with single student and identifies the problems and gives a suitable solution.
The wide range of problems that students have to go through during their time in a college is anxiety, drug abuse, depression, eating disorder, relationship issues, physical abuse, alcohol abuse, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The concierge counseling approach is quite an intensive and personalized service where the counselor identifies the problems and needs of the students and ensure more meaningful and long lasting change. The services offered in concierge college counseling for students looking to take admission in a college are
- Advice on high school classes, internships, and summer programs
- Making a list of colleges based on the specific interest of students
The concierge counselor provides a combination of services, which include motivational practices, life skills, skill training, psycho-education, life organization, and counseling. The counselor also offers weekly support service through email and phone consultation. The counseling session takes place in the office, home, or at the college. But most of the students and their parents prefer counseling session at home as
- It saves time for both the student and the counselor
- The counselor can give proper time, and the student can also feel relax in the surroundings of the home
- The home surroundings provide privacy and confidentiality
- The issues of stress, anxiety, and other concerns can easily be addressed
- An efficient child assessment can be done, and proper solution and therapy can be provided to the student
- The student will learn how to optimize their skills and strengths and overcome the challenges they are facing in college and real life.
- Parents also get information on how to help and support their child to focus on his/her goals and achieve success.

I have a LH sako 85 sitting in the gun cabinet that I'd like to rebarrel to 6mm Super LR, 6mm Creedmore, 6-6.5x47 or 6XC for 105-108g vld's and maybe 115g out to 1000m
Cant quite decide which. Burnt my 20BR out in 1200 rounds and dont want to go there again so was thinking the 6-6.5x47 as its got 5g less capacity than the 243 variants, but been reading a thread on the 6CM (comp match) which sounds like a 243 AI variant and the guy says its good for 4000 rounds as the larger capacity allows him to burn H1000 (Ar2217) which is a cool burning magnum powder compared to H4350 (AR2209).
He has 28-30" bbls which is probably one reason H1000 works. The goto pwder for the 6 SLR appears to be H4350
Still thinking 6-6.5x47 is my best bet
Convince me on one of them?

Fatshark are releasing the second piece of free DLC for Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, which adds the Last Stand mode - a new mode that allows players to fight wave upon wave of Skaven in a variety of maps.
There's also going to be a new map released, which was crafted for the Last Stand mode, although it won't be free as it's the first paid content ($2.99 / €2.99 / £1.99) Fatshark has developed for the game. The map is called Schluesselschloss and is set outside Ubersreik.
"Trapped in the fortress of Schluesselschloss, our heroes are forced into an inevitable stand-off against Skaven hordes. With no hope of escape, how long can they withstand before they finally fall?"
"With Last Stand we're raising the bar a couple of notches - teamwork becomes absolutely necessary to survive", says Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark. "If you thought one Rat Ogre was difficult, imagine them in a tag team."
The best part is that if you own the Schluesselschloss DLC, you can invite anyone who owns Vermintide to play with you, even if they don't own it. Check out the trailer below.

"Poor Old Harry"
March 3, 2020
Valentine's Day did not shake out well for Harry Styles this year. The singer was reportedly mugged at knife point that Friday night while he was in Hampstead in North London.
The incident occurred around midnight, when Harry was approached by a man with a knife, demanding money.
After handing the man a wad of cash, Harry was let go, unscathed. As stated by an anonymous source, "He actually played it pretty cool, quickly giving the assailant cash, keeping himself and the guy calm and getting the situation over with. Understandably though it left him very shaken up afterwards."
Some are not as concerned, like junior Charlie Hall who remarked, "Did you say Harry Styles got mugged or something? We should be concerned about the coronavirus!" However, for those who are worried about Harry, the police are allegedly conducting an investigation, although no arrest has been made so far.
Unfortunately for the star, the week did not get much better from there. He performed at the BRIT awards the following Tuesday, losing the best male solo artist award and the best album award to Stormzy and "Psychodrama" by Dave respectively.
Hours following Harry's mugging fiasco, it was reported that his ex-girlfriend, Caroline Flack, died. Caroline reportedly killed herself, and Harry paid tribute to her during his BRIT performance. In addition to wearing a black ribbon in his performance, Harry also tweeted, "Caroline was one of the kindest, sweetest people I know."
Another anonymous source commented, "Given how Caroline took her own life the next day, the pressures of a new album and a performance at the BRIT Awards this evening, it's fair to say this [being mugged] is the last thing poor old Harry needed."
Avery Haan is a junior in her first year on The Herald staff at Wade Hampton High. She is involved with Beta club, soccer, and hopes to begin Junior Civitan...
