SUSAC, you've done yourselves proud! Here's what Clidive had to say:
"I've run a training trip to Gozo over Easter for Clidive for the past 10 years and often we have the island pretty much to ourselves. This year we bumped into SUSAC (Sheffield University) on a number of dive sites. The conditions were a little challenging on the first few days, with wind limiting our options and making exits less than graceful. I was impressed with the efficiency and dive managing I saw demonstrated by SUSAC – they arranged for at least six people to be waiting kitted-up in the water to help exiting divers land safely and happily helped the Clidive trainees too – taking off fins and giving them a help up. My trainees were relieved to see a welcoming committee on some of the more challenging exits. When we arrived on site they kept themselves tidy so kit didn't get mixed up – no mean feat as there were around 3o of them. It was great to see such warm BSAC camaraderie. Cheers SUSAC and well done for being great ambassadors for BSAC. It's a shame we didn't get a photo all together but here's a pic of the Clidive bunch" Joli Riley, DO, BSAC Clidive 410

|Official website
Mark Brnovich (born November 25, 1966) is an American lawyer and politician from the state of Arizona who serves as the 26th Attorney General of Arizona. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected to the office on November 5, 2014, defeating Democratic nominee Felecia Rotellini. Brnovich advanced from the August 28, 2018 Republican primary as the top vote-getter in the state, running unopposed. Brnovich's family is originally from Montenegro. On November 6, 2018, Brnovich narrowly defeated Democrat January Contreras to be elected to a second term as attorney general. He is married to Susan Brnovich, a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. [1]
Early life and education
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Brnovich moved to Arizona at the age of two. Brnovich's mother was born in the former Yugoslavia and legally emigrated to the United States. [2] He often notes that his mother emigrated to the United States to flee communism. [3] He is Eastern Orthodox and is of Montenegrin descent. [4] [5]
Brnovich received a bachelor's degree in political science from Arizona State University and his juris doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law. [6] While at Arizona State, Brnovich was a member of Sigma Pi fraternity. [7]
Early career
Brnovich served as a member of the Army National Guard, has worked as the Director of the Center for Constitutional Government at the Goldwater Institute, briefly for the Corrections Corporation of America, served as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, a prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, and Assistant Attorney General of Arizona. [6] [8] [9] He was appointed the director of the Arizona Department of Gaming in 2009. He served in the role through 2013, when he resigned to run for Attorney General of Arizona in the 2014 election. [6] He defeated incumbent Tom Horne in the August Republican Party primary election [10] and Felecia Rotellini in the general election. [11]
Political career
Brnovich personally argued in defense of the "one-person, one-vote" principle before the United States Supreme Court on December 8, 2015 in the Harris v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission case. [12]
In May 2017, Brnovich provided the commencement speech for the University of San Diego, his alma mater. Brnovich was one of only two Republican politicians to address graduates at the universities ranked in the top 100 by U.S. News & World Report. [13]
Brnovich served as the Chairman of the Conference of Western Attorneys General, a non-partisan organization of Attorneys General from 15 western states, three Pacific territories, and 13 associate member states from 2017–2018. Brnovich chose to focus his Chair's Initiative on cyber security and data privacy. [14]
In August 2017, Brnovich was appointed to a bipartisan working group of state attorneys general titled "Protecting America's Seniors: Attorneys General United Against Elder Abuse." The National Association of Attorneys General presidential initiative was established to focus on strengthening efforts nationwide to combat elder abuse. [15]
In December 2017, Brnovich was recognized by the Arizona Capitol Times as a "Leader of the Year" in the category of Public Safety. In recognizing Brnovich, the Capitol Times stated: "But it's his non-political work in the area of law enforcement and consumer protection and advocacy that is earning Brnovich a lot of praise. In addition to going after fraudsters and scammers, Brnovich has zeroed in on the opioid epidemic, busting suspected opioid rings and in a bold move, charging a major manufacturer of the drug of deceptive practices designed to reap profits at patients' expense." [16]
Notable actions as attorney general
Dismissal of frivolous Americans with Disability Act lawsuits
In August 2016 the Arizona Attorney General's office took action in Maricopa County Superior Court and filed to intervene in over 1,000 lawsuits from an "advocacy" group that flooded courts with "copy and paste" disability access lawsuits targeting mostly small businesses. [17] By intervening, the Attorney General's office made itself a part of the cases and argued that group, "Advocates for Individuals with Disabilities," exceeded their legal authority and that the group was not allowed to collect fees on these types of lawsuits. A judge agreed to allow the Attorney General's office to intervene and consolidated the cases while also preventing Advocates for Individuals with Disabilities from filing new lawsuits in September 2016. [18] In December of that year the office filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuits. A judge granted the Attorney General's office request in February 2017, dismissing over 1,000 of the lawsuits. [19] After the successful action by his office, Brnovich remarked: "Arizona is not going to tolerate serial litigators who try to shake down small hardworking businesses by exploiting the disability community." [19]
Lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents over tuition cost
On September 8, 2017, Brnovich sued the Arizona Board of Regents, saying the entity in charge of setting tuition for Arizona universities had "dramatically and unconstitutionally" increased tuition and fees over the last 15 years. In the lawsuit, Brnovich said the Board of Regents had "abandoned its duty to serve as a check on the university presidents" by allowing an "unprecedented series of lockstep tuition hikes" that violates the state's constitutional mandate requiring tuition for in-state students at college to be "as nearly free as possible." [20]
The constitutionality challenge included an additional charge against the Board of Regents for continuing to provide in-state tuition for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient students. A state Court of Appeal previously ruled in June 2017 [21] that DACA students don't have "lawful immigration status" and therefore don't qualify for in-state tuition because of a 2006 voter-approved measure that prohibits in-state tuition and financial aid for undocumented college students. [22]
On April 9, 2018 the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in a 7–0 decision that state colleges and universities could no longer provide in-state tuition to individuals who were covered under DACA. [23] That same day, the Arizona Board of Regents announced that they would no longer be providing in-state tuition for DACA students in upcoming semesters. [24]
Consumer fraud settlement with Theranos, Inc.
In April 2017, Brnovich announced that every Arizonan who had obtained a blood test from Theranos, Inc. between 2013 and 2016 in the state would receive a full refund as a result of a $4.65 million dollar consumer settlement with the Attorney General's Office. [25] Theranos was sued under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act, including specific allegations that the company's advertisements misrepresented the accuracy and reliability of the more than 1.5 million blood tests sold during that period. Theranos was also banned from owning, operating or directing a lab in Arizona for two years as a result of the settlement. In December 2017, checks were distributed to more than 76,000 Arizonans who received a full refund, with an average refund per customer of $60.92. [26]
Consumer fraud settlement with General Motors
In March 2018, the state announced that a consumer fraud settlement had been reached with General Motors ("GM") that would pay an additional $6.28 million in payments to Arizona consumers as part of claims related to GM's installation of faulty ignition switches. [27] The settlement impacts 33,000 Arizonans who purchased certain cars between 2009 and 2014. According to Brnovich, Arizona was the first state to obtain restitution directly for consumers as part of a settlement with GM related to faulty ignition switch claims. [28] GM previously settled claims with 49 other states, but Arizona filed their own lawsuit focusing on consumer restitution. Under that lawsuit, Arizona would have received $2 million and the money would not have gone to consumers. [29] [28]
Consumer fraud lawsuit with Volkswagen
In May 2018, Brnovich announced that Volkswagen agreed to settle a consumer fraud lawsuit with the State of Arizona for $40 million dollars over its diesel emissions scandal. The settlement directed $10.5 million to Arizona consumers who had purchased certain Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche vehicles for restitution, $20 million to the state's budget to help fund K-12 education, and the remaining money for consumer protection and enforcement purposes. [30] Arizona is the only state to obtain additional restitution on behalf of consumers as a result state enforcement actions. [31]
Lawsuit over in-state tuition for DACA recipients
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled 7–0 on April 9, 2018 that state colleges and universities could no longer provide in-state tuition to individuals who were covered under the DACA program. In doing so, the Court upheld a legal challenge initiated by former Attorney General Tom Horne and continued by Brnovich against the Maricopa County Community College District. The ruling applies to all community colleges and universities within the state. In their decision, the justices upheld a previous 3–0 decision from the Arizona Court of Appeals that said the state hadn't explicitly granted in-state tuition to DACA recipients and that the colleges policy was against Arizona law. [23] Specifically, Proposition 300, a 2006 law passed by Arizona voters with 71.4% of the vote that stipulates state-funded services and benefits such as in-state tuition cannot not be provided to individuals without legal status. [32]
Disability access lawsuits investigations
According to Legal Newsline, Brnovich has targeted scammers to protect small businesses in Arizona. He shut down an unscrupulous attorney named Peter Strojnik who was "filing dubious disability access lawsuits against small businesses." [33] After Brnovich's investigation, Arizona law was changed to ensure those types of scams won't happen again. [33] According to published reports, the attorney general's office discovered another 9,000 Americans with Disability Act lawsuits Strojnik was preparing to file against Arizona businesses. [34]
Data privacy investigation of Google
On September 11, 2018, The Washington Post reported that Brnovich was investigating Google for its alleged practice of recording consumers' tracking data even after a consumer opted out of the location tracking function. [35]
Lawsuit against Arizona State University and Arizona Board of Regents
In January 2019, Brnovich filed a lawsuit against Arizona State University (ASU) and the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) over what he alleged was an illegal real estate deal. Brnovich later amended his lawsuit in April of that same year claiming violations of the Arizona Constitution's Gift Clause. [36] The project at hand is a planned Omni Hotel and conference center at the corner of University and Mill, one of the busiest intersections in downtown Tempe. The controversy involves ASU providing a longterm lease of its tax exempt government land to the Omni for the building of a new hotel and conference center with an option to buy the property for $10 after 60 years. The attorney general contends that by removing the property from the tax rolls everyone else in the taxing district (including cities, the county, K-12 schools and community colleges) will be forced to make up the difference in tax collections. He also intends that the practice is illegal because ASU is a government entity and therefore can not "lend" its tax-exempt status to a private corporation. [37] Representatives from ABOR and ASU have defended the practice saying they collect a payment from the hotel in lieu of taxes and that extra money helps the school general much needed revenue. [38]

Using Wands...
However, wands, I do not find that useful in general. Some are good for when you are stuck without any MP and something is about to die... Or for when you only have fire spells and you need some ice magic.
However, things like polymorph, enslavement and pretty much anything except Acid, Iceblast and digging I find almost useless.
I generally find that a lot of the hexing ones simply don't work against the kind of enemies you'd want to use them on, and the turn trying (And generally failing) to use it is invariably better to spend trying to kill everything than it is trying to enslave it or something.
Interested to hear what everyone elses mileage is...

For today's post, I thought I would talk about a personal pet peeve of mine. This pet peeve would be when people are late.
First off, being late to meet with someone shows that you obviously do not value the other's time, and view your time to be more important. Especially when this is a continuous problem. If we say we are meeting at 6, chances are I will be there ten minutes before. So when you come strolling in ten, fifteen, thirty, sixty minutes late- that tells me you don't value my time, and you think that it was more important for you to accomplish *whatever* than be on time. For your information, had I known you would be late, there are countless other things I could have done with my time.
The next problem with being late is that for most, it seems to be a continual problem. I understand- and will forgive you- if it happens on occasion. For example, my husband was late for our first date (then again, he had just come off 18 hours of traveling and gotten about 2 hours of sleep). I understand that things come up, accidents happen, etc- but just be honest. Saying "I'm on my way!" And showing up an hour later when I know it should only take you 5 minutes- that's bullshit.
This pet peeve grows even worse if I am doing you a favor. If I am going out of my way to do something for you- whether it is small, like dropping something off for you- or big, like giving you a ride somewhere 30 minutes away- you should be grateful and timely. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours.
To me, being on time is a matter of respecting other people. I KNOW there are other things and people you could be seeing- but you are choosing to make time for me. So I damn well better be there at or before the appointed time, because to me your time is valuable. And being late says that I don't care about your time.
How do you feel about this issue? Are you usually the one that is early, or late?
A motto I have lived by: "To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be late. And to be late, is to be forgotten."

It is through a curtain of tears that I copy and paste the words that my friend, Tish, wrote last night.
"Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee."
Our beloved Thomas passed away today, the Feast Day of St. Joseph, at 4:33 p.m.. We were all by his side as he peacefully took his last breath. Thomas is our valiant hero; he fought with Hope in his heart until the very end.
My heart hurts. I don't understand. Last night, Jeff and I sat silently in our bed and wept. We each had our own separate experience receiving this heartbreaking news. The thing that makes any of this even slightly bearable is Thomas. As my friend Julie put it: "Thomas is definitely the angel sent to earth to be a messenger." As I've mentioned before, Thomas' unrelenting faith has altered me for good. For the better. I still don't understand, but will walk with hope in my heart forever.
And with my heart flooding with hope, we begin Pablo's final round of chemo. We are due to check in this afternoon and get going with the chemo sometime in the night. We tend to start late and it has always worked out well for Pablo. Tonight he will receive three chemo drugs: carboplatin, etoposide and cytoxan. The next three nights are the etoposide and cytoxan.
Keeping Thomas and all childhood cancer families in my heart, prayers and meditations - please do the same!

For many years living in England, I felt my own sense of What Really Matters becoming more and more out of kilter with the prevailing ethic. As a person-centred therapist, for example, I was - and remain - shocked and angry at, and disturbed by, the ceaseless moves towards statutory regulation of the practice of counselling and psychotherapy. (If you want to know why, you could do worse than visit The Alliance for Counselling and Psychotherapy and watch the video talk by Brian Thorne, who was my tutor and mentor. I can't put it better than he does. Never could, actually ...). As a restaurateur, I was saddened by the general belief that we must be motivated by, and in it for, profit ... and exhausted by continually having to explain that we didn't see things that way. I lost count of how many presumably well-meaning people told us how much more we could earn by opening on more days or for longer hours, or turning tables, or cramming more people in, or using wholesalers instead of small producers, or any number of so-called 'normal' trade tricks; explaining that we were simply interested in creating a life that sustained us and was sustainable usually led to (at best) disbelief and (at worst) pity. And as a person, the things that most inspire me - growing things, creating things, sharing things, community and communities, meditation, nature, creating space for people to be and discover themselves and others, living a simple but not a plain life - were certainly not those that surrounded me on a daily basis.
Here in rural France, and in particular in Ariège, I'm no longer counter-cultural. As everyone well knows, the French work to live rather than live to work; in spite of Nicholas Sarkozy's best efforts to get everyone to "work more to earn more", the nation remains singularly unconvinced: earning enough is what it's all about. Commuting is rare, and despised - a last resort, to be dispensed with as quickly as possible. Almost everybody grows their own vegetables. Credit cards are all but unknown: you want something, you pay for it, now. Houses are bought as homes, not as investments, and mortgages are strictly and legally regulated. The consumer society is muted: shops are closed for two hours at lunchtime, and on Sundays. Cars go on for at least twice as long as they do in the UK, other machinery even longer; there really is no pressure to have the latest equipment or the fastest PC or the trendiest trainers or spend the most on your child at Christmas or dress in the most stylish fashions (if you've visited a rural market and seen some of the clothes on offer, you'll understand what I mean and wonder why on earth the French have a reputation for being elegant ...). In spite of la crise, the essence of daily living continues to be dominated rather more by simple pleasures than by desire or by fear. What Really Matters here is living a life of quality not quantity; living well, and appropriately.
And so, blessedly and with a great sigh of relief, I find myself finally to be living an ordinary life, just one amongst countless others doing the same.

Lumbar spinal fusion is surgery to join, or fuse, two or more vertebrae in the low back.
Spinal fusion is major surgery, usually lasting several hours. There are different methods of spinal fusion. Bone is taken from the pelvic bone or from a bone bank. The bone is used to make a bridge between vertebrae that are next to each other. This bone graft helps new bone grow.Metal implants are usually used to hold the vertebrae together until new bone grows between them.

(by Rachel DeRita, PhD Candidate,Thomas Jefferson University, Department of Cancer Biology). The Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) continues to make innovative advancements in the field of cancer immunotherapy in the midst of what has been called the "immune revolution" by the cancer center's director, Robert H. Vonderheide (photo), MD, PhD. He explains that the success with the revolutionary immune system-based therapies is "bittersweet," as many patients are either non-responsive or re-lapse after initial success. A main strategy of the current cancer immunotherapies is to block the immune system's "off switch." For example, when the molecule PD-1 on immune cells is bound to PD-L1 on tumor cells, the immune system deactivates and allows the cancer to hide from the immune system. Antibodies against PD-1 (pembrolizumab, brand name Keytruda) can block the deactivation caused by PD-1/PD-L1 binding, and are approved for the first-line treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with overexpression of PD-L1. Approximately 30% of patients to not respond to this treatment and another 25% exhibit further tumor progression after one year. The search for improvements to current immunotherapies has led to a new class of immunotherapy drugs known as monoclonal antibodies to a protein called CD40. CD40 is expressed by the antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, which are responsible for eliciting an anti-tumor response. When CD40 is bound by other surface markers on T-helper cells, the antigen-presenting cell (such as a B cells or dendritic cells) is activated to perform a number of functions to eventually target and kill tumor cells. By stimulating this molecule with an antibody, the anti-tumor response is strengthened. Dr.
A moss capable of removing arsenic from contaminated water has been discovered by researchers from Stockholm University. And it happens quickly - in just one hour, the arsenic level is so low that the water is no longer harmful for people to drink. The study has been published in the in the June 2018 issue of Environmental Pollution. The article is titled "Phytofiltration of Arsenic by Aquatic Moss (Warnstorfia fluitans). The aquatic moss Warnstofia fluitans, which grows in northern Sweden, has the ability to quickly absorb and adsorb arsenic from water. The discovery allows for an environmentally friendly way to purify water of arsenic. One possible scenario is to grow the moss in streams and other watercourses with high levels of arsenic. In the northern part of Sweden, water from mining areas is often contaminated by arsenic. "We hope that the plant-based wetland system that we are developing will solve the arsenic problem in Sweden's northern mining areas," says Dr. Maria Greger, Associate Professor at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences at Stockholm University and leader of the research group. "Our experiments show that the moss has a very high capacity to remove arsenic. It takes no more than an hour to remove 80 per cent of the arsenic from a container of water. By then, the water has reached such a low level of arsenic that it is no longer harmful to people," says research assistant Arifin Sandhi, who has conducted the experiments. In 2004, the use of arsenic compounds in wood products was banned, but arsenic still reaches ground and water systems due to mining. This happens because the ground and bedrock in certain parts of Sweden naturally contain arsenic. As a result, the drinking water and water used for the irrigation of crops also contains elevated levels of arsenic.

The immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda), when combined with chemotherapy, doubles survival in patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSNSCLC) lacking genetic changes in the EGFR or ALK genes, when compared to chemotherapy alone, according to results of an international phase III clinical trial. Principal investigator Leena Gandhi, MD, PhD, Director of the Thoracic Medical Oncology Program at Perlmutter Cancer Center at New York University (NYU Langone Health and associate professor of medicine in the Division of Medical Oncology at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine, presented these findings April 16, 2018 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago. The data from this study were simultaneously published online on April 16, 2018 in the New England Journal of Medicine. The open-access article is titled "Combination of Pembrolizumab & Chemotherapy Doubles Survival in Patients with Metastatic Lung Cancer." A total of 616 patients with untreated metastatic NSNSCLC without EGFR or ALK alterations, from 118 international sites, were randomly allocated for the trial—405 patients were treated with both pembrolizumab and platinum therapy plus pemetrexed, and 202 received platinum therapy plus pemetrexed with a saline placebo. Response rates, overall survival, and progression-free survival rates were superior in the pembrolizumab and chemotherapy combination treatment group.

If the ultraviolet radiation from the sun damages human DNA to cause health problems, does UV radiation also damage plant DNA? The answer is yes, but because plants can't come in from the sun or slather on sunblock, they have a super robust DNA repair kit. Today, the Unversity of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine lab of 2015 Nobel laureate Aziz Sancar, MD, PhD, has published an exquisite study of this powerful DNA repair system in plants, which closely resembles a repair system found in humans and other animals. The study, published online on April 17, 2018 in Nature Communications, is the first repair map of an entire multicellular organism. It revealed that the "nucleotide excision repair" system works much more efficiently in the active genes of plants as compared to humans. And this efficiency depends on the day/night cycle. The open-access Nature Comminications article is titled "Genome-Wide Excision Repair in Arabidopsis Is Coupled to Transcription and Reflects Circadian Gene Expression Patterns." "These findings advance our understanding of DNA repair mechanisms common among all organisms and may also have practical applications," said co-corresponding author Ogun Adebali, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the Sancar lab. First author Onur Oztas, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the Sancar lab, said, "DNA damage accumulating in a plant will impair its growth and development, so boosting the excision repair system could be a good strategy for improving crop yields." Dr.
Nearly 80 genes that could be linked to depression have been discovered by scientists. The findings could help explain why some people may be at a higher risk of developing the condition, researchers say. The study could also help researchers develop drugs to tackle mental ill-health, experts say. Depression affects one in five people in the UK every year and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Life events - such as trauma or stress - can contribute to its onset, but it is not clear why some people are more likely to develop the condition than others. Scientists led by researchers at the University of Edinburgh analyzed data from UK Biobank - a research resource containing health and genetic information for half a million people. The scientists scanned the genetic code of 300,000 people to identify areas of DNA that could be linked to depression. Some of the pinpointed genes are known to be involved in the function of synapses, tiny connectors that allow brain cells to communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. The scientists then confirmed their findings by examining anonymized data held by the personal genetics and research company 23andMe, used with the donors' consent. 4.The study, published in Nature Communications, was funded by Wellcome as part of Stratifying Resilience and Depression Longitudinally, a £4.7 million ($6.73million) project to better understand the condition.
A team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) has isolated three previously unknown bacterial species from wild bees and flowers. The bacteria, which belong to the genus Lactobacillus, may play a role in preserving the nectar and pollen that female bees store in their nests as food for their larvae. The results were published online on April 12, 2018 in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. The article is titled "Lactobacillus micheneri sp. nov., Lactobacillus timberlakei sp. nov., and Lactobacillus quenuiae sp. nov., Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Wild Bees and Flowers." The study was led by Dr. Quinn McFrederick, an Assistant Professor of Entomology in UCR's College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences. Symbiotic bacteria that live in bee guts are believed to promote bee health by helping to digest food and boost immunity. Compared to honeybees and bumblebees, little is known about the microbial communities associated with wild bees, despite the important role these insects play in the pollination of flowering plants. To study the bacteria associated with wild bees, Dr. McFrederick and co-authors collected wild bees and flowers from two sites in Texas and on the UCR campus. Genomic DNA sequencing, coupled with traditional taxonomic analyses, confirmed the isolation of three new Lactobacillus species, which are closely related to the honeybee-associated bacteria Lactobacillus kunkeei. The news strains are: Lactobacillus micheneri, named after Dr. Charles D. Michener to honor his contributions to the study of bees in natural habitats; Lactobacillus timberlakei, named after Dr. Philip Timberlake to honor his work on the taxonomy of native bees, especially at UC Riverside; and Lactobacillus quenuiae, named after Dr.
New research from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill provides valuable insight into the navigation and nesting behaviors of loggerhead sea turtles that could inform future conservation efforts. Loggerhead sea turtles that nest on beaches with similar magnetic fields are genetically similar to one another, according to a new study by UNC-Chapel Hill biologists Dr. Kenneth J. Lohmann and Dr. J. Roger Brothers. The study was published online on April 12, 2018 in the journal Current Biology on April 12. The open-access article is titled "Evidence that Magnetic Navigation and Geomagnetic Imprinting Shape Spatial Genetic Variation in Sea Turtles." A key takeaway is that magnetic fields are the strongest predictor of genetic similarity among nesting loggerhead sea turtles, regardless of the geographic proximity or environmental traits of nesting beaches. The findings support previous research from Dr. Lohmann and Dr. Brothers, which indicated that adult loggerhead sea turtles use magnetic fields to find their way back to the beach where they themselves hatched. The new research implies that sometimes the turtles mistakenly nest at a different beach with a similar magnetic field, even if that beach is geographically far away from the beach on which they hatched - like on the opposite coast of Florida. Conservation efforts should note the importance of a beach's magnetic field for attracting loggerhead sea turtles. Sea walls, power lines, and large beachfront buildings may alter the magnetic fields that turtles encounter. "Loggerhead sea turtles are fascinating creatures that begin their lives by migrating alone across the Atlantic Ocean and back. Eventually they return to nest on the beach where they hatched - or else, as it turns out, on a beach with a very similar magnetic field," said Dr.
There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease. It is often argued that progress in drug research has been hampered by the fact that the disease can only be diagnosed when it is too late for an effective intervention. Alzheimer's disease is thought to begin long before patients show typical symptoms like memory loss. Scientists have now developed a blood test for Alzheimer's disease and found that it can detect early indicators of the disease long before the first symptoms appear in patients. The blood test would thus offer an opportunity to identify those at risk and may thereby open the door to new avenues in drug discovery. The research was published online on April 6, 2018 in EMBO Molecular Medicine. The open-access article is titled "Amyloid Blood Biomarker Detects Alzheimer's Disease." One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of amyloid-β plaques in the patient's brain. The blood test, developed by Dr. Klaus Gerwert and his team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, works by measuring the relative amounts of a pathological and a healthy form of amyloid-β in the blood. The pathological form is a misfolded version of this molecule and known to initiate the formation of toxic plaques in the brain. Toxic amyloid-β molecules start accumulating in the patients' body 15-20 years before disease onset. In the present study, Dr. Gerwert and colleagues from Germany and Sweden addressed whether the blood test would be able to pick up indications of pathological amyloid-β in very early phases of the disease. The researchers first focused on patients in the early, so-called "prodromal" stages of the disease from the Swedish BioFINDER cohort conducted by Dr. Oskar Hanson.
The gender of living organisms is determined either by genetic factors and/or by environmental factors. Interestingly, however, a team of researchers led by Nagoya University scientists previously found that the occurrence of more germ cells - biological cells capable of uniting with one from the opposite sex to form a new individual - in female medaka (teleost fish) gonads is essential for female differentiation of gonads. When germ cells are removed in medaka, XX (female) fish show female-to-male sex reversal, while XY (male) fish with excessive germ cells, which is usually associated with egg production, exhibit male-to-female sex reversal. "This finding implies that, in addition to the most well- known role of germ cells developing into eggs or sperm and produce the next generation, germ cells have a unique and surprising potential to change their surrounding environment," says Dr. Toshiya Nishimura, first author of the current study. "However, the molecular basis of, and the stage of gametogenesis critical for, feminization remain unknown." This question set the researchers to delve more deeply into the topic. In their latest study, they generated three different medaka mutants to demonstrate that the feminizing effect of germ cells is not a result of the progression of gametogenesis or a sexual fate decision of germ cells. They found that the different stages of germ cells in XX mutants have an ability to feminize the gonads, resulting in the formation of gonads with ovarian structures. In addition to normal ovarian development, the increased number of gonocytes (fetal and neonatal germ cells) is sufficient for male-to-female sex reversal in XY medaka.

Q: I'm wondering about taking my retirement pension as a lump sum. My financial planner recommends taking the lump sum instead of a monthly pension payment. I know he will benefit from investing the lump sum, but I'm more concerned about how I will benefit, especially if the market goes south permanently. What is your feeling about lump-sum versus monthly pension payments? I plan to retire in 2012, and the elders in my family have lived past 80.
– C.H., by e-mail
A: A growing body of research suggests that most of us would be better off if our retirement income came from multiple sources — Social Security, a pension and our personal savings. This, after all, is the traditional three-legged stool that planners have talked about for decades. Own your home or condo debt-free, and your retirement will be still more secure.
Having a pension income will also reduce your level of worry. Imagine the stress of having to make withdrawals from your lump sum over the last 12 months of a declining market! If the withdrawals were high, you could permanently damage your nest egg and run out of money.
So I say take the pension. The only circumstance under which you should NOT take the pension is if you have no personal savings. Then you have to err on the side of flexibility and liquidity, and take the lump sum.
Q: I'm a single, 71-year-old male. I'm still working part time, so my income is sufficient with my Social Security, a small pension and an annuity. However, I may stop working in June 2009. Then my income will not be enough. I will need to supplement it. I'm thinking of rolling over $100,000 from my retirement account with MetLife into an immediate lifetime annuity where payments can be delayed for 13 months. The payment of $838 a month is the best I've found so far. I would still have about $90,000 left in my retirement account.
Is it wise to do so now when I don't need the money, but I may need it in another 10 months? My concern is the state of the market now. Like everyone else's portfolio, my portfolio is decreasing. I'm afraid if I wait too long, I may lose too much money and may not be able to get as good a return in the future.
– B.D., by e-mail
A: Thinking about life and death is never easy. But when we make these kinds of decisions, that is what it is all about. As a 71-year-old man, your life expectancy is 12.8 years – call it 12 years and 10 months. This doesn't mean you will die then. It only means that half of the men your age will die before then. And half will die later. Your annuity purchase will be a reasonable return investment if you live to expectancy.
When you give your $100,000 to the insurance company, it is betting it can earn more than 4.13 percent on your money for that 12-year, 10-month period. At $838 a month, it will be 10 years before you receive your original payment back. If you die at that time, your return will have been zero. Once you pass 10 years, however, your return on investment starts to climb. It will be 4.13 percent if you live to expectancy. It will rise to 6.38 percent if you live three years beyond expectancy. The longer you live, the better it works out as an investment.
All other things being equal, delaying your annuity purchase would result in a higher monthly payment. That's why some people buy life annuities in steps, banking on increases as they age. If interest rates decline, however, the insurance company would reduce the benefit to reflect the same. Whether you would gain or lose on balance is a crystal ball issue.
Since you already have lifetime income from Social Security and a pension, you might consider buying a somewhat smaller lifetime annuity and keeping more of your assets invested.

Bright Earth: Art and the Invention of Color
by Philip Ball
Farrar, Straus & Giroux
382 pages, $30.00
How is your desire for blue affected if you have just paid more for it than for the equivalent weight in gold? That yellow looks glorious, but what if its traces on your fingertips could poison you at your supper table? This orange tempts like distilled sunlight, but how do you know that it will not have faded to dirty brown by next year?In some cases, the sheer difficulty of creating a particular dye or pigment has given a color an aura of mystique or sacredness. The Virgin Mary, for example, was often depicted wearing a deep blue robe in medieval paintings, not because she was believed to have actually worn such a garment, but because the extremely complex and time-consuming process of deriving ultramarine blue from the rare stone lapis lazuli rendered the color off limits for all but the most precious of subjects. Indeed, the use of ultramarine or gold, Ball explains, "does not simply imply a wish to show piety by lavishing expense but reveals the hope that the supernatural potency of the work will thereby be enhanced."
Where before there were two-dimensional images in gilded frames, there was now a living world. Each picture seemed as though it had just left the artist's workshop or studio, the paint's transition from palette to panel or canvas almost visible in the brush marks. Of course, time, too, has left its mark: paintings often need more decoding than the artist intended, as greens darken to black and reds fade to pink. In the end, learning the language of color is really about learning to see.Philip Ball, who majored in chemistry at Oxford and has a Ph.D. In physics from the University of Bristol, is a writer and editor for Nature. His previous book, published in 2000, is Life's Matrix: A Biography of Water.

Full Caf Americano®
If you're an establishment Republican, any week when you can smack down a conservative-libertarian firebrand like Rand Paul while pretending to be helpful, is a good week.
Last night Dana Perino, who can always be counted on to prop up a liberal argument, took Rand to task for his alleged mistreatment women news anchors.
"He needs to go back and quietly sit with his wife and watch these interviews and say, 'What are they talking about?' If he doesn't see what other people are seeing, that looks like he has a short temper." …
Right, Dana. Just as soon as he's finished berating her for the lousy dinner.
Let me preface my further remarks by saying I am not a Rand fan; I like some of his ideas but others are problematic for me. But that is a far cry from working with the Left to undermine his candidacy right out of the box.
Perino first addresses Paul's dustup with Democrat point person Savannah Guthrie. She claims that Guthrie's questions were perfectly appropriate.
What do you think?
I know it is misogynistic to disagree with a female MSM anchor when she's advancing her DNC talking points, but I must take exception.
It doesn't appear to me that Guthrie asked a question in this round at all; she gave her opinions of Paul's positions, but I didn't hear a question before Rand fired back.
But that's our Dana's, always helping a liberal argument cross the street.
In the past Perino has claimed to be a BFF of lefty inflatable floatation device Donna Brazile. At the time I think I commented that Democrats don't have Republican friends; they have informants. But establishment Republicans like Perino never let party disloyalty stand in the way of an extra dry Democrat martini.
Thank you for your comments, Dana Perino, but in the future please don't help conservative candidates; Rand doesn't need your help, Ted Cruz doesn't need your help, and conservatives in general sure as heck don't need your help.
Any more than Sarah Palin did.
You guys in the establishment helped us out nicely in the last two general elections, thank you, and we're still having trouble sitting down.
So just leave the conservative GOP candidates to work out their own problems, let the Democrats take their shots, and please, please, please STFU!
Otherwise: Love ya!

"We won against the United States at the Copa America, and we also beat Germany, Italy and Russia," coach Pierre Rochenel said.
"Since we need seven players for a game, and it's on a smaller field, amputee football is very demanding technically."
The team's participation in the World Cup next month is the latest chapter in the rise of amputee football in Haiti, which accelerated in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake that left 200,000 people dead. Of a further 300,000 people wounded, 4,000 were amputees.
Eight members of the Haiti team heading to Mexico are amputees resulting from the earthquake.
Haiti's national amputee football association was launched to help motivate the wounded, many of whom became one-legged, as they faced harsh stigmatization in society.
"Here, people still hide at home their loved ones who are disabled," said association president Ariel Valembrun, himself an arm amputee.
"But when they see the team out in the field, people can't get over themselves. Everywhere we go, the public applauds and sees that what we are doing is good for the disabled community."

10 Commandments of the Recruitment Office
And thus it was, Moses (the new perm consultant from Norwich) stood upon the mountain of steel. With faith in his heart and a slightly inebriated slur of the lips he declared: "I have spoken with the recruitment gods and they have a message for my brothers and sisters. Here are the 10 commandments of the recruitment office".
Thou Shall Not Steal a Colleague's Candidate
You wouldn't steal a colleague's wallet. So don't steal their candidate, it's a dick move. Don't be that guy. Quality candidates don't just grow on trees, it takes time to build those relationships and line them up for the perfect role.
Thou Shall Not Bet on Which Trainee Will Drop Out First
Watching the cocky trainees fall short can be a fun office pastime. Despite this, we draw the line at placing bets on the poor new recruits. What chance do they have when you're all betting against them? Besides, the one who shouts loudest always falls first.

Thou Shall Not Cry at the Office Banter
Aww poor you… we didn't know you were so sensitive about your big ears. You're in the wrong career! If you can't take a bit of banter, why are your working in sales? You need to be able to take it on the chin to work here.
Thou Shall Not 'Massage' a Candidate's Employment History
It's called lying… don't do it! You're giving recruiters a bad name.
Thou Shall Not Call Your Mum to Make Up the Call Time Targets
Hitting call times can be difficult. Don't call your mum though! Do you really think we wouldn't notice? If you want a disciplinary, this is how to go about it.
Thou Shall Not Go Home with a Candidate
We know it feels like love when you find the dream candidate, but don't actually go home with them. That's not what we meant when we said seal the deal!

Thou Shall Not Check WhatsApp Every 10 Minutes for Blue Ticks
Recruiting by WhatsApp is completely acceptable these days. Don't sit on your phone waiting for your messages to be read. On to the next one!

Nothing says professionalism like throwing up on a client's shoes. Client drinks may be an excuse to break out the company credit card but show a little decorum and put the Jaeger Bombs down.
Thou Shall Not Try to Negotiate a Promotion During Company Lunch Club
So, you hit your monthly targets. Well done, enjoy a posh meal and drinks on us. Don't join your boss in the smoking area and drunkenly try to bag a promotion. We're proud of you doing well but we're not talking about your salary here – no matter how charming you think you are.

Puppy Linux 4.1Naviga SWZ: Home Page » News
News del 12 Ottobre 08 Autore: Gianplugged
- 184.108.40.206, 220.127.116.11 kernels. The ´standard´ Puppy has been built with the 184.108.40.206 kernel. The ´retro´, which may work better on some older hardware, has been built with the 126.96.36.199 kernel and with a more conservative configuration. The older kernel is configured with the old IDE drivers (instead of PATA)*.
- More drivers. With help from forum member ´tempestuous´ we have included many extra third-party drivers. Note that the ´retro´ Puppy has more modem drivers (HSF modules).
- SCSI kernels. I have also compiled three SCSI kernels for 4.1retro, with different selections of SCSI drivers built-in. Puppy is now able to boot from a SCSI drive. read more read more
- LZMA-enabled kernel. The 18.104.22.168 kernel has an LZMA patch for smaller size, and optionally for a smaller initrd.gz (4.1 is built with LZMA-compressed vmlinuz, but the initrd is only gzipped).
- Improved PCMCIA support. The kernel has finally dropped the old pcmcia_cs package, now using the native uevent/udev mechanism.
- Hardware detection. Puppy has a major overhaul of hardware detection and module loading. The udevd daemon is now used (from the udev packge) and is supported by custom scripts. The total environment for hardware detection, hotplugging and general "event management" is named pup_event, and includes simple GUI management. read more
- Pup_event. The new pup_event system detects more hardware than before, automatically creates any missing devnodes (entries in /dev), loads firmware, detects hotplugged devices. This is also extended to the desktop, where drive icons appear and disappear as drives are added and removed. The behaviour of these desktop icons is fully configurable by a GUI. read more
- Faster boot. The main boot script /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit has been rewritten and is now simpler and faster. Considerable attention has been given to optimise boot speed, with parallel execution wherever possible and no unnecessary ´sleep´ instructions.
- Psip VOIP. This is another major milestone for Puppy, our very own VOIP telephone/chat/messenger program, named Psip. This is a GUI developed "in house" and uses the pjsua commandline executable. Previously we have been prevented from including such an application in Puppy due to enormous dependencies (and hence huge size). Our guys have created something that is not only small, but works well and has an excellent GUI. read more read more
- PPLOG blog. Yet another major milestone, Puppy now has his very own blog! The Hiawatha web server is now built-in to Puppy, along with the PPLOG Perl blog. This is great for a personal diary, or to publish over an intranet or the Internet. read more read more
- Pmusic audio player. There is yet another new application developed "in house" by forum member ´zigbert´. This lovely music player fills a bit of a gap in the Puppy application-suite. read more
- Ayttm. The inbuilt multiprotocol chat client is now Ayttm instead of Pidgin. Thanks to the Ayttm developer Siddhesh for putting in considerable effort to improve Ayttm. Thanks to forum member ´Wolf_Pup´ for an auto-login script to our #puppylinux IRC channel. read more
- Virus checker. Xfprot, a GUI frontend for the f-prot virus checker, has made a comeback. Not that Linux needs virus checking, but this is a great tool for checking Windows drive partitions.
- Network Wizard. The Network Wizard has undergone a major overhaul by forum member ´Dougal´. The layout of the GUI is more logical, and naming of profiles is improved, amongst other things. read more
- Huge number of updated applications. Many updated applications and building-block packages, including Trash (disciple), Pburn (zigbert), Pfind (zigbert), Pschedule (zigbert), Pprocess (zigbert), Pmirror (zigbert), ndiswrapper, ntfs-3g, Fotoxx, xine-lib, unionfs, aufs, Pnethood (HairyWill), Xlock (Nathan), libgphoto2, gphoto2, Geany, hiawatha, inotify-tools, inotail, lzma, ePDFView, replaceit, mtPaint, pupX (Nathan), Wallpaper Setter (Nathan), Figaro´s Password Manager, Gdmap, normalize, Pcdripper (plinej), Pwireless (plinej), Pdvdrsab (plinej), mut2 (Jesse), Sysprof, Xsoldier, Glade3, Gnumeric, Abiword.
- SeaMonkey with Mail&News. SeaMonkey has been upgraded to version 1.1.11 and now has the Mail & News component, replacing Sylpheed.
- Improved modem support. Puppy no longer probes for a serial modem and mouse at bootup, as that has proved unreliable, and is slow. In the case of a modem, other modem types are still auto-detected, and there has been major improvement of the PupDial and associated scripts to improve probing and modem setup post-bootup. Puppy is one of the few distros that is actively working on supporting Internet dialup users. Forum member ´rerwin´ has been very active testing Puppy with various modems and improving our scripts -- look him up on the forum if you need help with your modem!
- GPRS modem. Puppy now supports Internet connection by Multitech USB GPRS modem, thanks to forum member ´lstandish´ (Lloyd). This is also works for other GPRS modems, but we need more testing/verification. read more
- zdrv gone. Another under-the-hood thing: the ´zdrv´ file is no more. For various reasons, the full set of modules are now available permanently in /lib/modules and the firmware tarballs in /lib/modules/firmware.
- Many bugs fixed. Many bugfixes and minor improvements. Some are mentioned above, many more not explicitly mentioned here but can be found by reading through my Developer News.

The central kitchen of Jiajiayue Group has invested 300 million Yuan, covering more than 180 mu, with a construction area of 28160 square meters. It includes six functional zones: sauce and brine products, Chinese style pastry, Western style pastry, fast food, porridge soup and cold meal processing. The products involve more than 1000 varieties of 7 series, with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons. It turn on the 'central kitchen' mode of safe production.
Shandong Jinde Limin Fast Food Chain Co., Ltd. is a large state group company consisting of a distribution company, four subsidiaries, a franchise company and nearly 200 fast food restaurants. It belongs to Jinan Food Bureau. Now it has more than 3500 employees. In Jinan city, suburbs and counties, it basically realizes the full coverage of fast food outlets. In Shandong Jining, Zibo, Liaocheng, Binzhou, Dezhou, Laiwu, Tai'an and other cities, a regional branch business model has been established, creating an organic combination of agricultural and sideline products from field to urban residents' dining tables. In 2013, 30,000 meals per day were delivered. It has been recognized by provincial and municipal governments as a 'key enterprise of service industry'. It is a demonstration unit of the National Ministry of Commerce's Rest Breakfast Project. It is also the main undertaking unit of 'Resident Kitchen Project' and 'Rest Breakfast Project' in Jinan. For a long time, it has been our duty to serve the vast number of urban residents, adhere to the service purpose of 'convenient for the people, for the people, for the people', and constantly develop and grow. In recent years, Jinde Limin Group has responded positively to the call of the Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government, constantly expanding the size and coverage of its outlets, entering the community, entering the suburbs, occupying the foreign markets, and meeting the needs of urban residents for three meals a day to the greatest extent.
Leying provides Jinde Limin with a complete set of central kitchen equipment, such as 600 kg automatic rice production line, automatic fryers, automatic dishwashers, hot air disinfection cabinets, catering lines, cupboard cookers and so on, which ensures the quality and speed of restaurant meals. At present, we provide 15,000 student meals, and 4 processing centers complete the distribution of finished and semi-finished products in more than 200 stores.
Guidance: Fresh food as a high-frequency consumer goods in people's daily life, but also the core source of income and profits of traditional convenience industry, has always been a unique position. Between 60% and 70% of consumers who enter convenience stores buy fresh food and drive sales of other goods. According to Mr. Xiaocun, the 'Orangutan Convenient Fresh Food Factory,' "if we do convenience stores and but convenience stores do not have the capacity of fresh food production, it is like a person's five senses are incomplete." Today, Writer Le will introduce to you the project of 'Orangutan Convenient Fresh Food Factory' which is built by our company and produces 100,000 cold chain fresh food central kitchens per day.
l Project implementation enterprise: Shanghai Longshen Cool Flavor Food Co., Ltd. (Orangutan Convenient Fresh Food Factory)
l Date of project establishment: 2017
l Basic Conditions of Project Construction enterprise: Shanghai Longshen Catering Co., Ltd. was established in 1999 with a registered capital of 55 million Yuan. It was formerly affiliated to Shanghai Shennong Industrial and Commercial Group Company. By the end of 2017, Longshen Enterprise had obtained a food production license for refrigerated meals and put into production formally, becoming one of the few seven fresh food factories in Shanghai.
l Scale of project construction: 100,000 cold chain fresh food (box lunch, big mouthful rice ball, triangle rice ball, sushi, fried noodles, fried rice) per day.
l Project Description: The project is designed separately by human flow and logistics in order to ensure the safety and hygiene of the production environment. The project area is mainly divided into: personnel cleaning and disinfection area, rice processing area, pasta processing area, cooling area, heating conditioning area, pretreatment area, cleaning and disinfection area, finished product area, packaging area, packing area and so on. The project requires raw materials to be stored at low temperatures and processed at 10-15 degrees to inhibit harmful bacterial reproduction. After cooking, raw materials need vacuum cooling to ensure food safety. Leying has held many meetings with technicians to discuss the implementation plan for customers. It not only solves the problem of no loss of the reheating taste after the rice is cooled to less than 10 degrees, no too much water vapor on the surface after reheating, but also solves the problem of high-precision addition of seasoning liquid, automatic vinegar addition and automatic back-to-the-pot cleaning. The highlight of this project is to use softened water to cook food raw materials, eliminate calcium and magnesium ions in food, and ensure the taste of food.
In summary, in the solutions of fresh food R&D and production, the reason why Orangutan convenience chose to establish an 'industrial production + cold chain distribution' mode of fresh food production base, rather than a hot chain, is that the former is the future trend of the fresh food market. The life cycle of hot-chain fresh food is only 3-4 hours, beyond this time limit, not only the taste is greatly discounted, but also there may be security risks such as excessive bacterial flora, which can no longer be eaten; but the life cycle of cold-chain fresh food can reach 36 hours. With the cooperation of full cold-chain logistics and front-end refrigeration cabinet, these fresh food can be delivered to the nearest place to users, so that users can buy them at any time. Buy and enjoy. In addition, the industrialized production line is more conducive to improving efficiency and quality of management and control because of its standardized production operation process.
7-ELEVEN, a well-known chain convenience store in Japan, has been spread over the United States, Japan, mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, and other countries and regions. At present, there are more than 50,000 stores in the world, which is the largest chain store system in the world.
7-ELEVEN settled in Shanghai and built an advanced central kitchen. Leying, as an important supplier of 7-ELEVEN central kitchen equipment, provides a series of advanced rice equipment, heating and conditioning equipment, cleaning and disinfection equipment, etc., which provides strong support for enriching the products of 7-11 stores in Shanghai area.
After entering the Chinese market in 2002, FamilyMart convenience stores selected Leying brand as the main supplier of its central kitchen equipment. Leying cooperated with them to build eight high-quality central kitchens (distributed in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu), and four central kitchen factories were built in Shanghai alone. By October 2014, the total number of convenience stores in China had reached 1275, with 850 in Shanghai alone. By November 2017, the total number of convenience stores in China had exceeded 2000.

Kalpavriksha Greater Goods
Here are some pictures of a brochure I finished recently for Kalpavriksha Greater Goods, a new Nepal-based startup run by entrepreneur Sita Adhikari.
Since it was going to be printed at a very basic print shop in Nepal, the brochure needed to be greyscale, on A4 paper, with no bleed. A slightly unusual folding format gave the brochure enough pizazz to shine despite the restrictions! The fold allows a picture on the inside of the brochure to peep out, even when the brochure is closed. I saw this fold a few times on various printed materials in The Netherlands and I think it is very nice.
Although I have never met Sita in person, she was nice enough to send me a thank-you email after I completed the identity materials for her shop. It was fantastic to hear from her! Good luck to Sita as she begins to sell solar lights and locally made products in her new shop in Chitwan. Thanks also to Anya Cherneff, who runs the organization (Empower Generation) which helped Sita get started running her own business.
