The results, which appeared in a recent Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest news targets for lymphoma and other types of cancer.
Fusion proteins are created by two genes — originally coding for separate proteins — joining together. Translation of the fusion gene into an active protein results in a molecule with properties derived from each of the originals. Fusion proteins are relatively commonly found in cancer cells.
The team looked at a fusion protein called NPM-ALK. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), which physiologically is expressed only by neurons in fetal life, causes cancer when it is mistakenly expressed in non-neural tissues as a fusion protein with nucleophosphin (NPM) and other partners. NPM-ALK works by silencing the tumor suppressor gene IL-2Ry. The ALK fusion genes are active in several cancer types including some carcinomas of the lung, thyroid, and kidney.
The protein IL-2Ry is shared by receptors for several proteins called cytokines that play key roles in the maturation and growth of normal immune cells called CD4+ T cells. The Penn team found that IL-2Ry expression is inhibited in T-cell lymphoma cells expressing NPM-ALK as a result of epigenetic silencing. The IL-2Ry gene promoter is silenced by a chemical change to the DNA itself, in this case, the adding of a methyl group to DNA's molecular backbone.
Role of Epigenetic Silencing
Epigenetic gene silencing represents an important mechanism of inhibiting tumor suppressor gene expression in cancer cells. The silencing affects gene promoter regions within DNA, in two ways: methylation of the DNA and modification of histones and other proteins. The methylation is mediated by enzymes called DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). Histones are modified by histone deacetylases.
Silencing of the IL-2Ry promoter via methylation is induced in malignant T cells by NPM-ALK by activating another protein called STAT3. STAT3 increases expression of one of the DNMTs and facilitates attachment of this and other DNMTs to the IL-2Ry gene promoter. Strikingly, when IL-2Ry is expressed, NPM-ALK disappears from the cancerous T cells, and they eventually die. These results demonstrate that NPM-ALK induces epigenetic silencing of the IL-2Ry gene and that IL-2Ry acts as a tumor suppressor by reciprocally inhibiting expression of NPM-ALK.
"Epigenetic silencing is not an independent event, and genetics — in the form of the aberrant fusion protein — drives an epigenetic change," says Wasik. "Is this phenomenon generalizable? Can we overcome the tumor suppressor gene silencing using inhibitors of DNA methylation, which are already approved to treat some forms of blood cancer, to inhibit the expression of NPM-ALK and possibly other cancer-causing proteins in patients?"
This approach could potentially complement inhibition of fusion protein activity as is routinely done for BCR-ABL in chronic myelogeneous leukemia and experimentally for ALK in lung carcinoma, lymphoma and other malignancies expressing ALK.
The research was funded by the grants from the National Cancer Institute and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Everyone has good points. Over the last couple of months, I have taken the rocks all out, scrubbed them in a bucket of half syphoned aquarium water and half water treated with seachum's prime. While the rocks were out, I removed about sixty percent of the water, took my hand and stirred the gravel to release the crap under it, syphoned it, put new, treated water in, and repeated the process no more than four times because i didn't think the fish could take any more. Replaced all of the rocks,turned the filter back on.I've cleaned the filter a couple of times, following the directions not to replace more than one thing at a cleaning to preserve BB. I don't touch the ceramic rings which sit in the middle container of the cannister. Even though there are several things that might make understanding the problem easier, I would have to write about two pages worth of thread, so I'm trying to give what seems most relevant. the fluval was working great as far as suction and a powerful jet of clean water coming back into the tank. In the past two or so weeks, the flow was markedly decreased. I took the canister apart after locking the pressure on the hoses. At that time, the brown slime had clogged the first line of filtration which are the large particle sponges. those I rinsed in treated water. I did replace the charcoal because I wanted to put the fluval charcoal/ammonia detox mix bags. I rinsed the bottom container sponges which the suctioned water passes through secondly, and used treated water. I did not replace then. The ceramic rings I didn't touch and they had remained submerged in the canister water during this time. The hoses were reattached and the filter started again. Although the water stream was better, it was still markedly decreased. Since the canister was ruled out as the culprit, and you only get back what goes in, there has to be a problem with the suction from the intake hose. (I took apart the basket and scrubbed it with treated water). Since the system worked fine for the majority of the time I had it, the set up cannot be the culprit. that will be taken care of what I replace things. I plan to have everything ready before starting the cleaning to make the time of cleaning as short as possible. I do have some questions.
1)If the bottom is left bare, how do I keep the rocks from falling. Some are odd shaped and rely on substrate to steady them.
2)Once sand and rocks are in, how do you vacuum the bottom in areas where there are rock caves and passages where the vacuum cannot get into
3) what is the best vacuum for sand the picks up the most material while disturbing the sand the least
4) does sand cause filter problems the motor for the fluval is enclosed, but there is a moving wheel that helps bring in the water
5) A while back, I was researching sand for aquariums and found disagreements on what kind was safe. Some said sandbox sand was fine, other said it wasn't. I have no sites for these as it was too long ago, and I really didn't take much notice of the names of the sites. What has been the best based on everyone's experience on safety, color, consistency and easiest to work with. (I remember something about certain sand causing injuries to fish gills)
6)If the water in the canister is kept and then after the tank is done and the filter turned on, will that water reintroduce any pathogens and start problems again.
Thank you everyone helping on this. I know you don't have much information to work with, and that can be very frustrating. As I said, there are a lot of little things that were not added to the thread because it is so long to begin with. Those facts I weeded out because they were either insignificant or something I know how to deal with.

Vitamin Drinks For Seniors
If you happen to're like me then you definitely're looking for ways to get good nutritious meals in your children' belly but additionally finding methods to offer them sufficient energy. Recipes for harissa can differ, however generally they usually comprise a mixture of wholesome components like chili peppers, garlic, olive oil and spices. Although some meal alternative shakes advertise that they supply 20 or more important vitamins and minerals," they're synthetically made and never derived from meals, making them powerful to properly soak up.
It's tasty, satisfying and a few people swear that if you happen to drink it within the morning, it kickstarts digestion for the day. Huel has a shelf life of over 1 12 months, and contains carefully sourced and sustainable elements. Consuming about every three to 4 hours might help normalize blood sugar and your urge for food.
Salmon is also nature's number one source of vitamin D, a nutrient that many of us do not get enough of. That can make it more durable to construct muscle based on a 2010 Osteoporosis International examine which links low vitamin D ranges to decreased muscle energy.
You'll be able to customise the amount of oil you add depending in your dietary preferences. Eat real food with a mix of the macronutrients you need for satiety and effectively-being. Jumpstart your exercise program with these 10 important meals and drinks. Takeaway: Shakeology is among the most expensive meal substitute shakes.
This implies drinking water frequently throughout the day. Get important vitamins from unprocessed meals — like a mixture of veggies and fruit, high quality proteins (for a spread of amino acids), and wholesome fats (especially these with anti-inflammatory omega-3s or medium-chained fatty acids).

Essentially, it became really difficult to distinguish the legitimate ones from the questionable business options. When viewed from a certain angle, certain internet businesses looked really formidable. But if scrutinized further, certain cracks on the wall suddenly appears. Because of this lone facet, the reputation of internet opportunities has been significantly tarnished. Most business professionals chose to stay within the boundaries of the corporate world in order to keep themselves inside a safe working environment. Thus, they are hindered. Little do these people know that a large throng of home based business options lurked somewhere in the horizon. If only they looked closer, they will see beyond the thick fog that has inopportunely settled upon the grounds of the business industry.

Rather than keep themselves tied to the "man's" every whim, they steered their own personal careers to the highest possible peaks. Essentially, their chosen paths left a trail or blueprint for success as well. Because of the success that these people have gained over the years, the internet business industry was catapulted atop the market.

Cloud Based Services Acceptance Amongst Global Business Industries
Cloud services have proven to be a windfall for most businesses, especially small medium businesses. Different business industries across the globe have accepted cloud integration and are now able to avoid physical infrastructure costs such as loads of physical files, storage systems and email servers. Moreover, an all-time availability of these services means "no-hassle" association among business partners and employees using omnipresent browsers. Cloud services have penetrated a lot of industries starting with IT, finance, manufacturing, telecom, auto industry, defense, transport, retail, healthcare and many more. IT and telecom Industry Cloud computing provides IT companies access to complex technology without having to invest heavily. IT needs are fulfilled almost completely with cloud app integration, a locally installed PC and access to the internet. This is why computer, electronics and telecom industry seem to be rushing forward with great speed to adopt cloud technology. Healthcare Organizations Cloud app integration has also been accepted on the mainstream in most industries and business to address specific IT concerns. Cloud computing is the most important and the newest method to ensure that appointments are scheduled on time, patient's medical records are maintained appropriately and inventory control is up to date. However, despite the obvious benefits, it seems healthcare industry is still reluctant to embrace cloud applications and services. The 'health insurance portability and accountability' and 'patient data security' acts seem to be the reason behind the hesitation of healthcare industry to accept cloud technology. However the projected growth of use of cloud applications by the year 2014 seems to be suggesting a positive development. Transport and Logistics Industry Another example that can be considered is the transport industry. Cloud services provide flexible set-up, which enables transport companies to offer mobility and instant updates using a phone or tablet. Using cloud application development, transport companies can grow and work their ways out in today's embryonic markets with low risk and investment. According to a survey, transport and logistics are amongst the top 10 industries that are making use of cloud applications increasingly. It is also projected that the use of cloud applications will rise significantly by 2014 in this industry. However, it is noteworthy that transport and logistics industry are not able to make optimum use of cloud services as compared to some other industries like IT, banking and retail. This trend can lead to the downfall of cloud unless they revive their cloud policies. Finance and Insurance Industry Cloud services have become an integral part in the finance industry too. This was one of the most significant pattern shift to occur in IT ever since the introduction of cloud applications. It seems the finance industry is unfazed by the risks involved in cloud services by being the second-most early adopters of cloud services. Moreover the pattern seems to be on an onward trend with a significant rise projected for the year 2014. Benefits of cloud across all industries The most important benefit of cloud services for any business is that it allows users to store and maintain the organization's data in one location; the internet. Since the database is the internet, the user is assured that it will always be available for use regardless of any critical circumstances within the organization; there is zero percent risk of data loss. You need not install any kind of hardware or software in the computers for data storage and maintenance. Cloud computing saves great deal of time and money and further increases the productivity and efficiency of employees. Cloud-based services allow the users to enjoy high quality services with fewer technical issues. Most of these services need lesser upgrades and are free from glitches. Ifs and buts There are certain concerns that must be considered while shifting towards the cloud. No matter how advanced a technology, there are bound to be some glitches. If the cloud application development is done taking adequate measures to meet the needs of every business, more and more industries would be able to enjoy the benefits of having moved to the cloud world.

Armchair Fiction MOON OF BATTLE/ THE MUTANT WEAPON
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is "Moon of Battle" by J. J. Allerton. It was a planet where peace seemed impossible. Driving a gas truck down highway 63 was one thing, but Pratt Marsh discovered that driving it across the mountains and wastelands of the moon was another, especially when it was millions of years in the future! He found midgets, stone-men and giants, all with various levels of mental powers ranging from telepathy to stupidity. These were some of the curious inhabitants of Luona. But it seemed to Pratt that this world had been created for just one purpose: deadly, bloody war. Conflict overwhelmed everyone who set foot on its ravaged surface. Could a simple earthman survive on this planet of eternal struggle? The second novel is by legendary sci-fi author, Murray Leinster. "The Mutant Weapon" is about a space doctor's dilemma. The only links between the far-flung colonies throughout the galaxy were the Medical Service spaceships. It was natural therefore that when these lonely travelers paid a call, they were given a royal welcome. No wonder Med Serviceman Calhoun got the shock of his life when the landing grid on newly colonized Maris III tried to destroy his ship! And when he managed to make a crash-landing, he was even more shocked by the grisly fact that most of the colonists had starved to death—even though there was plenty of food around. Forgetting his horror, Calhoun had to move fast to keep the fate of Maris III from being the beginning of the end for all the colonial planets.

For most Filipinos, a "cat" is a slim, furred, lazy, comfort-seeking little tiger that roam around old streets, restaurants and households mostly scavenging on leftovers and hidden food on the kitchen counter.
For T.S. Elliot, a "cat" is a Jellicle. A feline, colorful, sexy, and funny; an anectodal character that surpasses life, and each has its own story to tell.
For Andrew Lloyd Webber, it is a member of a Tribe of the same name. Hypocritical, pragmatical, fanatical, political and allegorical. For him, the Jellicle begins life with a desire to achieve the joy of living and ends with a hope to reach the Heavy Side Layer.
When Webber merged his ideas to that of Elliot's, the marriage eventually gave birth to one of Broadway's longest running musical – CATS.
It took almost 30 years before these felines reached the shores of Manila to perform in front of the Filipino audience. A much-awaited event for us who have had the experience and not missed the meaning.
Like any other hospitable Pinoy, the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo adjusted its seats to accommodate the Jellicle Junkyard where the Jellicle Ball will be held. Structurally littered with trash, you'll even see a Surf laundry detergent box on upper center. The soft midnight lights during the pre-set created the atmosphere of solitude and silence, probably in preparation for Grizabella and her eventual contribution to that fateful night when she'd return to the tribe.
The lights go out and the Overture begins; except for those little pairs of eyes that blink everywhere in the Junkyard. Little bright cat eyes checking the audience and watching in inept surveillance, gracefully setting a mysterious ambiance of feline paranoia and mongering. In the dark you see a circular light from the heavens moving toward the Junkyard, but eventually reverts towards the end of the Overture.
A flash from a moving vehicle's headlights cuts across the darkness, revealing Demeter at stage left. She quickly retraces her steps and hides in a pipe at center-right.
Munkustrapp enters, straightens himself and spreads his paws. He courageously looks at the you and begins to ask the first Jellicle Question: Are you blind when you're born?
That is only when you'd realize you're not dreaming. Cats – Now and Forever is finally here in Manila!
Lunchbox Productions, in cooperation with The Really Useful Group brings the most loved musical there ever was – Cats. The touring company has a cast of mostly Australian actors, dancers and singers except for our very own Lea Salonga who plays Grizabella.
Despite the costly tickets, Filipinos managed to find enough budget to have the experience. 'Be and I had had our tickets as early as December last year and costed us Php 5,562.00 (roughly $124.00). Now, these tickets cost Php 6,180.00 ($137.00), an obvious increase of approximately Php 500.00 ($11.00).
But who cares. We didn't do the Math during the wait from December to August. Besides, a desperate western-musical-loving-Filipino who could save from air travel and accommodation expenses will grab this opportunity to see this show just beside the shores of Manila Bay.What we only did was wait. And we did just that. I was so excited, I even posted a day counter here in my blog to count the remaining days, hours, minutes and seconds before the scheduled Jellicle Ball.
For a former Jellicle like me, I wouldn't care less even if the orchestra tickets cost Php 10,000. I was Munkustrapp during my time, and seeing others doing it in front of a live audience is something that I'd thank God for. 'Be and I waited with eager, expectant hearts journey back to the Jellicle Junkyard, and remember the night when Gizabella returns.
Storywise, there isn't much about the musical. As one of the fanatics that cling to the experience and the glory that is Cats, we all know that the simple storyline is but a facade to other aspects that make the musical great.
Why? Simple: on the night of the yearly Jellicle Ball, the Jellicle Cats convene in the Jellicle Junkyard awaiting the Jellicle Leader (Old Deuteronomy). On this night, under the Jellicle Moon, Deuteronomy will choose the one cat to be sent to the Heavy Side Layer to experience a new Jellicle Life. All the cats celebrate and/or volunteer one another (Jennyanydots, Rum Tum Tugger, Bustopher Jones , Skimbleshanks etc.) including Gus: the Theater Cat, a retired Jellicle actor who has accomplished great achievements in the arts. On that same night, however, Grizabella, the Glamour Cat, returns to the tribe, volunteering herself for the chance to be chosen. Apparently, Grizabella was once the most loved Jellicle before she left the tribe years ago, promising herself that she'll find a different form of happiness outside the confines of the group. Now, she's old, torn, dilapidated, crippled and hated. The only reminder of her once glamorous life is her sequined short-cut gown under a tattered gray cat-fur coat. Her only defense is the fact that she alone has experienced true happiness. For it is only through neglect and utmost sadness can one define what happiness is.
This touring company executed an almost same production that most of the fans are familiar with. CATS is known as
a structured musical, expected to exceed or at least keep at par with the original concept and energy that was launched almost 30 years ago.
Adrian Ricks, the dance captain for the touring team, faithfully adhered to Gillian Lynne's concept of dance. We still see Lynne's original choreography. Those feline moves and sophisticated combinations still enthrall the audience. Each formation and block during dance sequences coordinates with the levels of the Junkyard, ever reminding the audience that fantasy can be as realistic yet deceiving (considering that we have cats as characters).
Much can be said on Webber's music. The all-too-familiar showtunes that made our hearts melt through the years have been given enough justice that night. The touring team's live orchestra gave a rendition of those classic tunes that's worthy of an ovation. The voices, however, were a bit too soft at some point, limiting some areas to hear the blends and variations. I also experienced this in Miss Saigon when it was staged at Nicanor. I don't know, but probably, it's just me.
Rum Tum Tugger (John O' Hara), is the most narcissistic , yet lovable character of all. Though I am already quite familiar with his music and dance, I still saw his improvised nuances for this most curious of cats. His growls, purrs and moves all curl up to one really hot cat. His self-confidence exceeds the levels of other Rum Tum Tuggers that I saw and worked with, that O' Hara pushed the limits to the point of self-adoration and narcissism. His charisma stunned the Filipino audience whenever he attempts to draw the crowd towards him, even at a desperate measure of taking a female spectator to dance with him, just so he could get an applause. That's one Rum Tum Tugger that I like!!!
Bombalurina (Monique Chanel Pitsikas), gave us what we expect Bomba to be. Her keen moves and graceful re-creation of the sexiest Queen in the Jellicle Junkyard reminded me of how beautiful and graceful Gem is. Her colorful skin (costume) glowed even in the dark and her voluptuous, yet subtle breasts conforms to her name. Like O' Hara, Pitsikas has her own creative approach to her character, thus presented a relatively new Bombalurina to a familiar audience.
Munkustrapp (Shaun Rennie), is the character closest to my heart. I once played this role 8 years ago, and still living the character until now. I had high expectations before the show and Rennie lived up to it. I must say that his Munkustrapp is as keen and caring as one should be. The Big Brother motif he portrayed throughout the Jellicle Night has shown his love for his fellow Jellicles, hate for Macavity and respect for Old Deuteronomy. And did I forget to mention that he has a great body? He has also gracefully executed each combination required of his role. Shaun's final stop is Manila. He'll be returning to Australia after the Manila run while the rest of the cast moves to their next stop. Indeed, he has been pouring all his energies in the remaining shows that he has for the Filipino audience.
Another delight that should be given enough credit for is Michael-John Hurney,( Bustopher Jones, Gus, and Growltiger). Though his greatest "creation as the Manila version history would tell" was his Growltiger performance. His "manly baritone" took the audience by surprise during his final duet with coloratura Griddlebone (Lisa-Marie Parker). His scheming, love-sick manner reminded me of the days of youth and innocence, even though his character may have already been a bit too old.
And who would not love Mr. Mistoffelees (Adrian Ricks)? That graceful magical cat who rescued Old Deuteronomy from Macavity's paws of levitation? Personally, his 24 fouttes en tournant (yes, I counted them) were just as amazing!
But as the title suggests, the "reviewing" CATS is really a difficult matter. It isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter, when I tell you that CATS (in Manila) has THREE DIFFERENT SHAMES!
First of all there's the shame in the energy, or its focus for that matter. I'm not sure with the other performance or maybe because we watched an evening show where there was a matinée which ended a couple of hours before. I felt that there was a lack of focus and theatrical tension among some of the players. Demeter (Stephanie Morrison) still needs to portray a more paranoid cat especially during the Macavity number. I found her a bit too soft even during the initial opening scene when the headlights flashed through the set. Further, Macavity has a very linear and tensed choreography. But the Queens (Morrison and Pitsikas) did otherwise. Cassandra (Emma Clark) lacked the mystery of the brown/cream Abyssinian Queen that I know. It is painful for me say though that her height is not what is expected of her character, as Cassandra is expected to be a tall and slender like an Egyptian cat. As for Parker, though she gave a very fine performance as Griddlebone in Growltiger's Last Stand, still needs to focus her energy more at one point during her rendition of Gus: The Theater Cat as Jellylorum. Her many movements during the song distracted the audience and shifted to her instead of Gus who's the actual thesis of the song/poem.
There are fancier shames, if you think they sound sweeter. Some for the Tom Cats (male casts) and some for the Queens (female casts). When you notice a cat in profound meditation, you'll see that there are still areas for improvement in the cosmetics department. I have personally studied the patterns necessary to transform a human face to a Jellicle face during my time and I must say that our own make-up artists (Nadia and Ianne) did a better job. Though it is arguable that detail is not an issue in big theater houses such as the Nicanor, however, it can still disturb someone who has been to the Heavy Side Layer and back. Most of the eye make-up were patterned so big some of them looked more like Chinese opera actors than Jellicles. Even Leah Salonga's Grizabella lacked the needed small lines to communicate to the nearer spectators her age and tragedy. I would assume at this point that such general patterns in color, with minor consideration to details, can cater better to those seated at the farther seats (like row P to W). However, we, who were seated in the first few rows found it a bit too odd to notice such big chunks of colors without much detail to enthrall us.
But far and beyond, there's still one shame left over, and that is the shame that you (probably) never will
guess. A shame that no "Filipino" audience may discover (or admit), but a former Cat knows and will now confess. If there is something that the entire production fails to see or admit, I am firm in saying that it is their own Grizabella. I promised my friends that they will never listen to Memory the same way again after they hear Grizabella's rendition. But then again, I take it back. Lea Salonga's version of this essential role failed to meet the expectations of more critical viewers and fans of the musical. Her too-perfect-pitch and sound denied the role of its character. All she did was she gave what the Filipino audience expects – the Lea Salonga voice and not her character's story. Let's face it, dear readers, those who are familiar with Gizabella will say that this dilapidated old Queen is already at what Erik Erikson calls the stage of Integrity vs. Despair. At this point in one's life, how can such character sing a pitch-perfect rendition of Memory? Had Leah sung it in a videoke bar, or in a concert for that matter, the way she has done it last Sunday, I would have given her my loudest cheer. But considering that she was in character, and a torn cat at that, she should have had given a more appropriate attack to this timeless classic. The directors and critics for this touring team should look back at how former Grizabellas defined this character through the years. Should I specifically point out Elaine Paige's performance that makes you cringe every time you see her stand and belt the highest note in the song? Or can I recommend Betty Buckley's version that even made Webber somewhat teary-eyed? Some would say: to each its own. However, shouldn't Lea also give a version that is somehow at par with her contemporaries? After all, she's a Tony and a Lawrence Olivier winner, isn't she?
I think the problem is with the actress (Salonga). Before I further justify my case, let me just state that I don't have anything against her. She has been one of my most revered theater actresses since her days in Miss Saigon and Les Miz. Her successes has inspired me explore the arts that I even took Theater Arts in college to discover my talent as an actor for the stage. But Lea can only do so much. There are roles that will fit her voice, talent and age (Kim, Eponine, Jasmine, Mulan and Mei-Li), and there are roles that are still too young for her, one of which is Grizabella. She's no Federica Valzano who can play with her voice and create another variation of the song. Her expressions were not as raw as I'd expected an old, dilapidated cat should be. Even her make-up did not do any justice. She looked like a Gotham City villain to me more than anything else. Her movements were boxed, limited, and too predictable. She should have explored the character more. Having seen Lea do this paramount role in CATS is for me the greatest tragedy in the production. I would rather have Celia Rodriguez play the part, and I'm sure that she'd do better!
So there. I said it na!
But 'be and I did not watch CATS just for the energy, make-up, or Lea. We watched it for the experience, and the opportunity to travel back to that happy night of the Jellicles; where one finds the meaning of true happiness. We took a big cut from our savings to relive the memory of our pasts and rejoice in the delight of seeing other Jellicles dance the night through.
Was it still worth it? Oh yes!
Indeed when one sees the bigger picture and the brighter side, one can claim true happiness and not miss the meaning!

If you are attempting to travel in style, the very last thing that you would like to do is hit to get an outfit and find out it is filled with wrinkles. Traveling garment bags supply you with the capacity to maintain your fine clothing wrinkle-free and lovely so irrespective of whether you are traveling for business or for it is still possible to seem like a million dollars. They are the ideal way to keep everything organized for a brief excursion, but you can find numerous in the marketplace it may be super hard to choose which is your ideal.
Garment bags are available in various styles such as bi-fold, tri-fold, roll-up, as well as a single sleeve.
For small trips (i.e. just a few hours) some of the favorite garment bag layouts must end up being more than sufficient in transporting your beloved custom made suit.
But for the very long haul (i.e. cross-continental flights), you are going to wish to usually go to get a garment bag using springs that are less. So, a bi-fold such as the WT 5.0 Deluxe Garment Bag would be a great choice.
But should you would like more of a fashionable approach for your garment bag, then you just can't fail using the Biaggi Haneroo. Its roll-up layout transforms what could be a rectangle garment bag to your streamlined duffle.
Finally, tri-fold garment bags keep a comparatively little profile that may be perfect for all those narrow overhead bins or even if you're traveling with another carry-on bit.
The over-shoulder Alpha two tri-folds by Tumi is really a great garment bag that compliments your own carry-on whilst protecting your favorite match.
A lot of the very best and well known garment bag manufacturers constantly take under account the rigorous carry-on constraints set by airlines around the world. When buying your next garment bag, it's always better to double check it adheres to favorite airlines size constraints (because they could change from 1 airline to another).

- Do your managers avoid addressing performance issues?
- Are your employees spinning their wheels in meetings that don't lead to results?
- Do you have supervisors who lead by intimidation or coercion?
- Is there a disconnect between what your managers say and what your employees do?
Overture offers leaders another way – one that both protects your human capital investment and leads to greater performance and profitability.
What makes employees successful in one role isn't necessarily what makes them successful in the next. In a new management role or when taking on new responsibilities, the ability to effectively communicate with team members, superiors and clients is essential for success.
Within the U.S. workforce, the cost of disengaged employees is estimated to be more than $300 billion in lost productivity alone.
– Gallup Report
Overture's programs train employees, and particularly managers, to engage in conversations with a more collaborative mindset. Program participants learn straightforward techniques to foster greater transparency, understanding and trust. They will gain greater awareness of how their behavior impacts conversations, learn to recognize potential pitfalls in communication and more effectively manage and prevent workplace conflict.
For managers, this results in employees who are more motivated and committed to their jobs, their teams and their organization. For companies, this enhances and sustains a culture of teamwork, engagement and productivity.

Pigs fed a diet of only genetically modified grain showed markedly higher stomach inflammation than pigs who dined on conventional feed, according to a study by a team of Australian scientists and U.S. researchers.
The study adds to an intensifying public debate over the impact of genetically modified (GM) crops, which are widely used by U.S. and Latin American farmers and in many other countries around the world.
The study was published in the June issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Organic Systems by researchers from Australia who worked with two veterinarians and a farmer in Iowa to study the U.S. pigs.
Lead researcher Judy Carman is an epidemiologist and biochemist and director of the Institute of Health and Environmental Research in Adelaide, Australia.
The study was conducted over 22.7 weeks using 168 newly weaned pigs in a commercial U.S. piggery.
One group of 84 ate a diet that incorporated GM soy and corn, and the other group of 84 pigs ate an equivalent non-GM diet.
The corn and soy feed was obtained from commercial suppliers, the study said, and the pigs were reared under identical housing and feeding conditions.
The pigs were then slaughtered roughly five months later and autopsied by veterinarians who were not informed which pigs were fed on the GM diet and which were from the control group.
Researchers said there were no differences seen between pigs fed the GM and non-GM diets for feed intake, weight gain, mortality and routine blood-biochemistry measurements.
But those pigs that ate the GM diet had a higher rate of severe stomach inflammation – 32 per cent of GM-fed pigs compared with 12 per cent of non-GM-fed pigs. The inflammation was worse in GM-fed males compared with non-GM fed males by a factor of 4, and GM-fed females compared with non-GM-fed females by a factor of 2.2. As well, GM-fed pigs had uteruses that were 25 per cent heavier than non-GM fed pigs, the study said.
The researchers said more long-term animal feeding studies need to be done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CaptainTed from Best BOAT shoe ever! I'm a twenty plus year backcountry fishing guide in the Florida Keys. I'm always on the lookout for a functional shoe to wear while I'm fishing my 300 or so trips a year. Either me or my colleagues in Islamorada have tried them all. Most of us have settled for basic cross trainers with no claim to be boat shoes but kind of work until they get a little beat up. The problem with most fishing/boating shoes is they boast how quickly they dry or how fast he water drains from them. My request is that my shoes (and feet) don't get wet in the first place! I had the idea to try these light hikers that claim to be "non-marking". What a home run. They have kept my feet dry, cushioned and comfortable. They provide good support and I can't complain of knee and back fatigue (unlike the barefoot/flip flop guys). I've had them over a year and they're coming apart but I don't feel they owe me anything. I came to the Columbia site to order another pair and found this review request. This is the first product review I've ever felt strongly enough about to take the time to do. These are good waterproof boat shoes that take some serious abuse and I'm looking forward to getting my new pair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by R1a2y3m4o5n6d7 from This product is of high quality! I walk between 2 to 4 miles per day and it is important for me to have a well constructed shoe that is both durabile and comfortable. I exclusively buy Columbia shoes online because the quality, fit and comfort are always assured and I like the convenience of online shopping. The Men's Conspiracy shoe is living up to my previous positive experiences with buying/wearing Columbia footwear and sportswear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Coxy from Kept my feet dry all season long! This waterproof shoe wears like a sneaker with the water proofing of a boot. You will never wear another pair of shoes again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NickName21 from Excellent trail shoe I wear it day to day on wet or snowy weather as I only wear boots when things are bad. These are much more comfortable for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by thephotographer from Love this hiker I love this hiker it gives me the traction I need for some of the stupid places I go; all the while, being a good all around everyday shoe. I were it everyday. I buy the below ankle high because they are quicker to put on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fluba from great waterproof light hiker I bought my second pair of these shoes in September 2015, after wearing out the soles of my first pair, bought in February 2013 for a two-week trip to Ecuador that included stays in rain forest, cloud forest, the Galapagos, two cities and miscellaneous hiking. The sales associate suggested a waterproof light hiking shoe. The Conspiracy III shoes were just great, and have been on subsequent trips to Central America where the waterproof feature was much appreciated. I found them to be very comfortable, have good traction, a little warm in tropical countries (which the sales associate mentioned) and because of their low-key appearance, quite versatile for traveling and everyday use. In addition to travel, I use them year-round at home, as they are warm enough for mild winter days in Edmonton (being careful on icy surfaces - the rubber is not tacky in colder temperatures like a true winter sole, but still good on packed snow).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lawrence from Snowshoe! Purchased item on Saturday and took them snowshoeing on Sunday! Pretty fair conditions...packed snow and above freezing...but they performed admirably! My feet remained dry and warm (Merino Heavy Hiker sox) and the light-weight of the shoe did not bring on leg-weariness after several hours of trekking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tcorbin594 from Great everyday shoes! I purchased these shoes for everyday wear at work where I quite often run into water/snow and needed something comfortable that had some protection. Turns out, these are great! Very comfortable when being on my feet for 9+ hours a day. Offer great protection for poor weather conditions. A little pricey for sneakers, but well worth the money if you're looking for waterproof shoes. The only issue is the sizing. I always purchase size 12 shoes and boots, and these are a little small. They fit, but are more snug than every other shoe. I would recommend going with 1 size larger if you like a little wiggle room for your toes!

Rated 3 out of 5 by AlexH from Comfortable but NOT waterproof After a long search, I finally found a "waterproof" shoe that I can wear all day. The shoe is very comfortable and generally has good grip (although grip on wet wood is a challenge). The big disappointment is the claimed waterproofness of the shoe. My first walk on these shoes happened to be on a rainy day. After the first half hour through wet grass and an occasional puddle of water, I started to feel some wet spots on the top of my toes. The next 2 hours which had some light rain showers completely soaked my socks in the toe area. The problem seems to be the top mesh, which is absolutely NOT waterproof. (The moisture was not sweat and the water did not enter the shoe along the ankle, that part of my sock was still dry) The reason I don't recommend these shoes is because I don't see the advantage of the OutDry version over the "regular" one if the waterproofness is such a joke.

Rated 2 out of 5 by HpSauce from Waterproof but no traction in the wet Have had these shoes for 2 months now. Their waterproofing works well. I've stepped in many puddles & endured many of Vancouver's down pours but still had dry feet. I also like that they are low key colours, so you can wear them to work / office. But their traction is terrible in the wet. Which is not ideal for a waterproof shoe. The sole is made of a hard-ish rubber, which grips really well on dirt/grass/soil. But the front of the sole (where your toes are) is made of flat & smooth rubber, which gives exactly zero traction on hard surfaces when they are wet. So if the front of the sole comes in contact with a smooth surface as you push yourself forward on each step, it slips out from under you. Even on the rough pebbled sidewalks of Vancouver, I can feel them slipping out behind me every time I take a step in the rain. Slip, slip, slip. And if you ever step on a smooth metal door threshold or a metal grate or anything smooth and wet, WATCH OUT! Because you will probably be slipping & falling down. I would be afraid to actually use these waterproof trail running shoes to run on a wet trail. If you ever tried to push off from a wet root or rock, you would be slipping and falling, for sure. Never have I experienced a pair of shoes with such little traction in the wet. I give them 1 star because the waterproofness works And 1 more star because they aren't florescent green (like most running shoes) But as an actual functioning shoe, which helps you grip and interact with the ground, I can offer them no stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyHawk from Men's Conspiracy III Out Dry is Cool The Conspiracy III Out Dry exceeded my expectations. I wanted a good fitting shoe that was waterproof. What I got was a shoe that was not only good fitting and waterproof it was very comfortable and gave me some of the best support of any shoe I have every owned. The stability and traction I felt while wearing was amazing. I would highly recommend this shoe for hiking and just for everyday use. It feels that good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IRideBikes from Great Trail Shoes I've been really happy with these trail shoes. The tread pattern looks weird but it actually works very well. I did a fair bit of hiking and scrambling in Garibaldi over the summer and they performed fantastically. The rubber on the soles is fairly soft, so they grip nicely onto rock making for very stable footing, particularly on the way down. The waterproof membrane does make them a bit less breathable and warmer than shoes without a membrane, but that's a worthwhile trade off. After a summer of fairly heavy use, the foam midsoles got a bit scuffed up from scree, but the mesh and nylon fabric on the sides seemed to shrug it off nicely. The toes are well made and reinforced. All in all, great value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lego107 from Great Shoes I have a pair of old columbia sneakers. I don't know the exact model, but I just became too big for them. So, since I really enjoyed my last pair, I went on Columbia's website and found these. I couldn't have spent $125 on a better pair of shoes! These are amazing! Long lasting, comfortable and also are nice in the winter because they are waterproof and have great traction. Great sneakers, highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adventuredude from Great buy I bought these as my first pair of hiking shoes for a trip to Fiji, Australia and New Zealand. I wanted one pair of shoes to handle everything and these were perfect. Very comfortably for city walking, not too warm that they were uncomfortable. Took them on medium-hard level hikes in New Zealand and they were great. Kept my feet dry, even when we went under a waterfall on a boat tour. No blisters, very happy with these. Also took them on top Mount Cook with snow and they also kept my feet dry. One of my best purchases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Korner23 from Great turf shoe for softball I ordered these shoes hoping to find something comfortable to wear playing softball. I selected the men's instead of the women's shoe because they seem to run narrow. The tread on the bottom was perfect. It grips grass and dirt. The fact that they're waterproof is a bonus. After several games my feet feel great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mattster from Great Hiking Shoe Great shoe, extremely happy with the pair that I own. It was mentioned that they were a bit stiff out of the box and I'd have to agree. I wore them 2x around the house before taking them out on the trail and they were perfect. When I'm out on a hike, I like to know that if I want to run for a bit I'm not limited by what's on my feet. These shoes are lightweight and definitely have kept my feet dry. After reading the other reviews, I decided to give these a try and I'm glad I did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck63 from Outdry Shoes Perform Well This is my 3rd pair of Outdry Shoes. They fit true to size and do keep your feet dry in wet conditions. While I would not consider the soles aggressive, they do grip well in all conditions. The only drawback to these shoes is when the temperature falls below freezing, these shoes do not do a good job of keeping your feet warm. Only other issue I would mention is they could breathe a little better in hot temperatures. Yes, I know it is difficult for a shoe to be good at everything. I wish Columbia would not keep changing the colors of their shoes as you find a color combination that is good and they change it. Overall, these are very good shoes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by PaBuckeye from Great shoe Working on a golf course for 20 years, I've tried just about every brand out there. Only a pair of Timberland Trekkers 20 years ago compared. Most aren't waterproof very long or fit more like a stiff boot even in a shoe. I've had these for about a month and they seem great. They get wet every morning at the course and did great in a downpour for an hour. I even waded in a trout stream last weekend up past the sole seam with no leakage. It still seems early but so far I love these shoes. They feel like my running shoes and the traction grip is phenomenal, even on wet grass on a hill. Would definitely buy again. Nice job Columbia.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BoxJuice from Awesome The shoes fit perfectly out of the box. The soles were a little stiff and took about three days to break in, but after that felt great.

Stokes slammed the paper for a story involving a past family tragedy
Ben Stokes on Tuesday slammed an English newspaper for publishing an article about a "deeply personal and traumatic events" about his family which happened years ago. Hours after the England all-rounder released a statement which slammed the newspaper and described their act as the "lowest form of journalism", #BenStokes started trending in India as people from different fields started voicing their support for him. England Test skipper Joe Root also took to the micro-blogging site and tweeted: "Please take the time to read this and respect it".

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Chief Executive Officer Tom Harrison also released a statement about the matter.
"We, like the wider sporting world, are disgusted and appalled at the actions taken in revealing the tragic events from Ben's past, Harrison's said.
"We are saddened that an intrusion of this magnitude was deemed necessary in order to sell newspapers or secure clicks.
"Ben's exploits this summer have cemented his place in cricket's history - we are sure the whole sport, and the country, stands behind him in support," the ECB chief added.
Ben Stokes played one of the best Test innings in the recently-concluded Ashes 2019 and helped his side clinch the match, keeping them alive in the series, single-handedly.
England then went on to win the fifth and the final Ashes Test, thus drawing the series 2-2.
Prior to Ashes, Ben Stokes was England's star performer during the World Cup 2019 as his heroics helped the hosts lift their maiden 50-over World Cup.

4 Ways to Tell the Good Consultants from the Bad
imp source By Raleigh deShazo, Director of Client Services
http://pravinshekar.com/15204-dtf84780-site-de-rencontre-pour-musulman-converti-gratuit.html Not too long ago, client expectations for their conversion or upgrade project was a vanilla install – as quickly and cheaply as possible, of course. The vendor would arrive on-site, install the system, apply a base configuration with a few client-requested adjustments, and head back home, leaving the client to figure out the rest. Not anymore!
rencontre femme kurde Today, clients expect business process re-engineering to be a major part of the project effort. "OK, so now that we've purchased the software, how can you streamline our processes, reduce operational costs, and improve efficiency – help us do business better?"
And that is what separates good consultants from bad consultants: they bring business value to the project. They are able to communicate with both business users and IT to optimize functionality with IT requirements. They lead you through the maze of options and alternatives. They don't wait for direction. They bring with them their "best practices" toolkit and apply those processes to your application, your special situation, and your business personality. They help make your business better.
Their resume? They spent their career in the industry, learning the trade from the ground up. They've participated in a number of similar projects for both large and small institutions. They can point to proven successes. And most importantly, those past clients don't mind being references.
So, here are four surefire ways to tell the good consultants from the bad (the first three are borrowed from Robert Rosenthal's blog, the last is my own):
- Bad consultants focus on short-term agendas. Good consultants effect long-term change.
- Bad consultants push what's comfortable. Good consultants push what's important.
- Bad consultants tell you what you want to hear. Good consultants tell you what you need to hear.
- Good Shaw consultants tailor solutions to the readiness and capability of the organization. One size rarely fits all.

ST. LOUIS - The You Paid For It Team taking a fresh look at two of the St. Louis-area's priciest airport projects.
Together, MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah and the controversial runway at St. Louis-Lambert International Airport will cost taxpayers more than $1.3 billion.
Fox 2/KPLR 11 looked to see what's changed from when these deals were first unveiled. Both have been heavily criticized. We discovered MidAmerica in Mascoutah may be set to take-off while the billion-dollar Lambert runway may still be grounded.
Directors of both airports said their projects were good deals for taxpayers.

In San Francisco, the main component of Maya Lin's What Is Missing? art project - a "multi sited artwork dedicated to bringing awareness to the current crisis surrounding biodiversity and habitat loss" - was unveiled yesterday. Lin, who is best known for her design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., says this memorial will be her last.
"My goal with 'What Is Missing?' is to create a memorial that almost could go wherever it wanted to go," Lin said at the academy. "It's pure information. It dematerializes. It's about things that are disappearing right before our eyes ... from the sounds of songbirds so common in our childhood to the visibility of the stars at night."
The piece, called "Listening Cone," is a sort of giant megaphone constructed from bronze and lined with wood, emitting the sounds of endangered species, along with images and brief texts projected on a screen deep within the cone.
The piece is situated in front of the new, much admired building at the California Academy of Sciences, designed by Renzo Piano.
