The regulatory role of AcSDKP and angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation
MetadataShow full item record
Altmetrics Handle Statistics
Negative regulatory factors inhibit the proliferation of haematopoietic stem cells thus protecting them from differentiation pressures. One of the negative regulators of stem cell proliferation is the tetrapeptide Acetyl-Seryl-Aspartyl-Lysyl-Proline (AcSDKP). This peptide is endogenously produced in vivo and long term bone marrow cultures and is degraded by angiotensin 1-converting enzyme (ACE) both in vivo and in vitro. The aim of these investigations was to study the role of ACE on haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell proliferation. Since the N-domain ACE active has been implicated in AcSDKP degradation, an analysis of two ACE inhibitors (captopril and lisinopril) shown to have differential effects on the N-domain ACE active site was conducted. Both captopril and lisinopril equally reduced ACE activity in plasma in vitro. However, captopril had a lesser effect on reducing serum ACE activity in vitro than lisinopril. Captopril and AcSDKP together reduced the proportion of GM-CFC in S-phase after 7 hours of in vitro incubation. In addition, ACE resistant AcSDKP analogue (AcSDPψKP) when incubated with bone marrow cells in the absence of captopril also reduced the proportion of GM-CFC in S-phase. This finding suggest that the effect of captopril and AcSDKP on GM-CFC proliferation was due to AcSDKP alone. Haematopoietic stem cells were induced into cell cycle by in vivo administration of either 2 Gy-γ-irradiation or the two cytotoxic drugs, cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) (100 mg/kg i.p.) or 5 flourouracil (5 FU) (150 mg/kg i.v). Bone marrow cells were sampled and incubated in vitro for up to 24 hours. Captopril together with AcSDKP reduced the proportion of high proliferative colony forming cells-1 (HPP-CFC-1) in S-phase following 2 Gy-γ-irradiation. Lisinopril together with AcSDKP had no such effect. In addition, captopril alone in vitro reduced the proportion of HPP-CFC-1 in S-phase induced into cell cycle by cytotoxic drugs. Lisinopril had no such effect. Incubation alone reduced the proportion of HPP-CFC-1 in S-phase in cytotoxic drug treated bone marrow cells. When cultures, which were incubated with captopril, were assayed for AcSDKP levels, captopril induced an increase in AcSDKP levels in both control normal bone marrow cells and cells derived from Ara-C treated mice. However, it did not affect AcSDKP levels in cultures derived from 5 FU and 2 Gy treated mice, AcSDKP together with captopril were shown to inhibit S-phase cell entry of HPP-CFC-1 when they were incubated with bone marrow cells derived from mice treated with either 2 Gy-γ-irradiation or cytotoxic drug insults. Interestingly, captopril was unable to reduce the proportion of SA2 leukaemic cells in S-phase Captopril on its own at therapeutic doses reduced the proportion of HPP-CFC- 1 in S-phase in vivo regardless of the insult used to induce HPP-CFC-1 into cell cycle. Lisinopril slightly reduced the proportion of HPP-CFC-1 in S-phase following Ai-a-C treatment only. Captopril induced an in vivo increase in AcSDKP levels in all the models tested. Captopril also reduced the proportion of HPP-CFC-1 and GM-CFC in S-phase following fractionated doses of Ara-C. Captopril's inhibitory effect on GM- CFC proliferation following fractionated dose of Ara-C was diminished after 7 days while it was sustained with HPP-CFC-1. Long-term bone marrow cultures revealed that captopril and AcSDxj/KP had the same effect on cellularities of both layers and on the proliferation of HPP-CFC and GM-CFC in both layers. From the present investigations, it can be concluded that captopril is a potent inhibitor of HPP-CFC-1 proliferation. This effect may in part be mediated by AcSDKP mechanism.

Ospreys sign Sam Davies on a three-year deal
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
The Ospreys have signed International Rugby Board Junior Player of the Year Sam Davies on a three-year deal.
The 20-year-old fly-half has agreed his first professional contract, which will keep him at the club until summer 2017.
Davies said: "This is my home region and it's somewhere I'm really happy to be."
The former Gowerton Comprehensive School pupil played 20 times for the region in 2013-14, making 15 starts and scoring 82 points.
Last summer, Davies helped the Wales U20 team to their first ever Junior World Championship final, scoring 61 points along the way, becoming only the second Welshman, after Gavin Henson in 2001, to win the IRB award.
Davies added: "I've had plenty of game time over this last year, mostly at 15, and I'm just pleased to be playing.
"Obviously I'd say I want to play 10 as that's where I've always played until this season but I realise that with Dan [Biggar] in front of me it's not going to be easy. If it means I'm involved on a match day, I'll play wherever the coaches want me to and use that opportunity to show what I can do and to gain more experience. "
Davies is the 14th player to re-commit to the region in 2014.
The Osprey's rugby operations manager, Andy Lloyd, said: "It says a lot about his maturity for such a young man, and also his footballing class, that he has settled in so well to the senior group while coming to terms with not just senior rugby but also an unfamiliar position."

On This Date: Photo taken 3/7/2012.
Hoytville's a collection of houses–a hamlet, if you would–a mile south of my town, Mulliken. I discussed its history on 3/7/2013, if you're interested.
This farmyard's a bit over a mile from our house, and is visible (after a fashion) from our yard. The house is quite striking, especially in the late-afternoon sun. There are a couple other photographs I'd like to take of it, both of which would take some luck and a long lens. Since I don't routinely wander around with my long lens, they'd necessarily be planned photographs. Someday, perhaps.
This is one of a half-dozen similar photographs I took that morning. The framing changed a bit as I moved closer to the house, but they all have the same look and feel.
And please note that the photo's two rightmost barns are part of another farm, a few hundred yards down the road. Perspective can mislead.
Number of pix taken on various March 7ths: 130
Year of oldest photo: 2007
How I Rated the Date's Photographs:
- 1 Star: 0
- 2 Stars: 2
- 3 Stars: 91
- 4 Stars: 33

There have been several iterations of glass Noodle tips released by us and Anthony, however, these are the FIRST UV changing!
Anthony has knocked it out of the park once again with these glass Rotini Noodles. Using a COMPLETELY EXTINCT color, he managed to create a piece of art that can literally never be replicated again (Illuminati is the glass color behind the black).

I recommend this product
Almost Really Good
Desk arrived on time in undamaged condition. Easily assembled with clear instructions. Finish is OK and it looks nice when assembled and put in place. The only concern I have is that although it is solid wood (pine) and the legs are substantial the desk pieces are fairly thin which gives this piece a bit of a "hollow" feel. It could last for years but the overall feel is not SOLID, but maybe just solid. I would recommend it to a friend with that information.

My little sister got married a year ago! Yay!! I was her photographer and I have yet to blog about her wedding, mostly because I had stopped blogging, but one could say I slacked a bit as well (insert big toothed emoji). But, now I am back (I just said that in the voice of the villain guy from the second Night at the Museum movie, if you haven't seen it, super cute. Watch it) Anyway, she and my brother in law married in a fall outdoor ceremony with a barn reception following. The day started out pouring rain, but cleared up just in time and the wedding was wonderful! Mandy was stunning and John Michael cleaned up nice too. lol!
They did a "first look" of one another before the ceremony so that we could get more photos done before hand and we managed to get some cute shots from that. Take a look at the pics below and happy anniversary to the happy couple!! ❤
3 generations of Durr's. John Michael's dad was his best man and the little fella (my adorable nephew) was the ring bearer.
Cutest cowboy ever!!
Gotta love dresses and boots!!
First look! Aren't they cute!?!
She's always beautiful, but was even more so on her wedding day!
Oh happy day!
Thanks for stopping by! See ya soon!

Olympia claims 1A boys title at First to the Finish cross country invitational
Olympia captured the Class 1A boys team title Saturday at the First to the Finish Invitational at Detweiller Park. The Spartans put all five of their scoring runners in the top 51 in a field of 355 runner, led by Jon Neville's 16th-place finish.
Tremont's Leland Sumer was the top area finisher, coming in sixth in a time of 16:00.8. The area was well represented in the team standings, with El Paso-Gridley second, Eureka fourth and Elmwood/Brimfield fifth. Kyle Johnson finished eighth and teammate Jack Cook 11th to lead Eureka.
In the 2A boys race, Washington finished sixth and Metamora 13th. Metamora, which ran without junior Adam Gilbreath-Glaub (hip injury), was led by Jacob Gray's area-best 13th-place finish (15:58). East Peroia's Keaton Vandel was 18th.
Dixon won the 2A team title and Fishers the 3A championship on the state meet course.

Exclusive car show Salon Privé managed to negotiate pandemic roadblocks to deliver its 15th consecutive edition at Blenheim Palace. Taking social distancing upmarket, Salon Privé Week hosted a dazzling array of new launches, and a record number of entries for the Concours d'Elégance.
And as usual it was a social event par excellence, providing the perfect instagrammable backdrop for some of the most exotic vehicles on the planet.
Navigating a maze of restrictions, the organisers did a fine job with COVID-19 secure systems in place, including entry via the Liber track and trace app (the first automotive event in the world to use it).
It was a social event par excellence, providing the perfect instagrammable backdrop for some of the most exotic vehicles on the planet…
The packed lunches were admittedly rather different, but spacing never seemed to be an issue. The various stands were limited to four people at a time, but everyone looked rather fetching in their masks, and thankfully the late September weather was kind.
Bentley hosted a trio of global premieres in the palace grounds. The Classic division unveiled its recently restored 1929 Blower, the Coachbuilt division gave its first car, the Bacalar, a public bow, and the Collections portfolio presented the brand-new Continental GT Mulliner coupé.
Other world debuts included Italian styling house Touring Superleggera's Aero3, Danish hypercar manufacturer Zenvo with its 1177bhp TSRS-1, and the 1100kg, 1100bhp Engler Superquad.
European debuts covered a variety of performance cars, including the TDF1 from British brand Tour-de-Force, the all-electric Aspark Owl hypercar, and the fabulous PAL-V flying car.
You had to work hard to spy it, but Rolls-Royce gave UK enthusiasts a first look at the Ghost, while Koenigsegg previewed the Gemera, a four-seat hypercar that's described as the world's first 'mega GT'.
British biking start-up Langen used the event to show off its Two Stroke racer. An aficionados ride, this homage to cafe racers was given a chance to shine in the afternoon, when it was taken off the booth and onto the lawn, where we had a chance to hear it strut its stuff.
Bugatti's Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype also made its UK public debut, while Italian coachbuilder Ares Design unveiled no fewer than four hand-built vehicles. Its Bentley Mulsanne Coupé was joined by the Panther ProgettoUno and a pair of two-wheelers, the Café Racer and Scrambler.
Of course, Salon Privé isn't just about wheels. Bell Helicopters made its debut at the show, via distributor HelixAv, inviting visitors to take a closer look at its best-selling 505. Bell rep Calum Hutchison told us that interest had been high. "It basically takes a year to get your license. They're not that difficult to learn to fly. And then you have the freedom to just take your friends for a helicopter ride…" he said. Freedom, it seems, is the operative word.
Rather predictably, the only shot of Team TLR at the event, taken by the official photographer, papped us not admiring the new Rolls Royce Ghost, rather supping samples on the Piston Gin stand. In our defence, this still counts as work, and the samples were delicious! The company (which has the best bottle tops in the business) was premiering some new flavours, which we're sure will be a big hit come Christmas.
These included Strawberry and Hibiscus, and Douglas Fir, Our favourite was probably the Black Forest flavoured Foret Noire, although to be fair we'd need to spend more time researching this to be sure *ahem*.
For a look at Team TLR's exploits at Salon Privé hit the slideshow below…
It was also good to see our chums from Node Audio present, bringing high-end audio to the automotive scene. Node Audio is known for its £30,000 Hylixa loudspeakers, but confided to TLR that it was working on a new range or two that would bring its high-end fidelity to a new range at a lower price point. £12,000 for a Node Audio system? It could happen, we reckon.
Elsewhere, offering a bit of retro gaming fun was The Creative Station, with its classic game emulator systems. Not only do they offer all your favourites, including Space Invaders, Donkey Kong and Galaga (amongst literally thousands of others), you can get Creative Stations with drinks bars built in!
Tickets for the Salon Privé Classic & Supercar day sold out in just seven minutes. More than 1,100 cars took part in a procession into the grounds, with models new and old on display from Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Maserati, McLaren and Porsche.
The Salon Privé Club Trophy was awarded to a 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV bought brand new from the factory by rock icon (and model train enthusiast) Rod Stewart. It boasts air-con, blue leather interior and recording cassette deck, enabling Rod to practice tunes en-route to the studio. The car apparently gets a mention in his autobiography.
Final takeaway: The event was 45 per cent larger in physical size than last year, with some 93 entries in the Concours d'Elégance by AXA versus 61 last year.
Salon Privé returns to the lawns of Blenheim Palace in 2021, on its traditional dates of September 1-4. We can't wait.

PhD Candidate in Demography and Sociology
University of Pennsylvania
I am a PhD candidate in Demography and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, an affiliated student with the Max Planck Research School for Population, Health, and Data Science, and an Associate Fellow with the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics.
My research uses quantitative methods to draw connections between migration, racial stratification, family dynamics, and inequalities in health and socioeconomic well-being. My scholarship falls into three broad categories: 1) the social determinants of health and aging, 2) structures and institutions of aging-related care and their impacts on both care recipients and caregivers, and 3) family dynamics and implications for life trajectories. The aim of my research is to inform social policy and practice to reduce health and socioeconomic inequalities among marginalized groups, and to challenge the social and structural institutions which uphold these inequalities.
My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Aging and Health, Journal of Family Issues, Journal of Comparative Family Studies, Demographic Research, and Contraception.
I am currently working on several projects pertaining to aging and care work, which address gender dynamics in care work, racial and immigrant exclusion in long-term care options, and caregiving provided by aging individuals themselves.
Before starting as a PhD student in the UPenn Population Studies Center, I worked as a policy analyst at the Guttmacher Institute, where my work focused on sexual and reproductive health among immigrants and adolescents, and I completed an MPH in Epidemiology at George Washington University.

My husband and I took lots of road trips together before we had kids and it was important to us that we continue that tradition with our kids. A couple of summers ago, we took a couple of long trips, and I wanted to find books about maps to prepare my son (Alice was just a hope at the time) for the trip. I could only find dry, nonfiction books that "taught" about maps.
It wasn't until this summer – with no road trips in sight – that I FINALLY discovered these gems. Each one explores the concept and aspects of maps in colorful and interactive ways.

Old Soul Girls a series of papercuts.
Oh, WOW. These are so lovely and inspiring.Reply
These are great – so strange, and sweet, and unsettling. I wonder if they have individual names?Reply
great movement and i love the dainty girls hair lines! I think the prickly details are your trademark.
love your work..
very fun!Reply
These are all so beautiful, Elsita. The little tweety bird with boots is so whimsically sweet and the girl with the cape is very stylish!Reply
i adore each and every one and I agree with amber that the prickly details or appearance of fur is definitely an elsita trademark. If I had to pick my favorite it is the naked girl with her back to us and her hands extending to become plants or pod like structures. She looks furry like she is part animal and a being of the forest. I think I might like to be her in my next life.Reply
so beautifulReply
My word, you do amazing work!Reply
Wow this is so great!! Amazing it so wonderful!! Paper cut art is so great! its my first time to see this kind of art!Reply
Nice and informational article.Your experience must have been a wonderful one.I can imagine he wonderful experiences in California with all fun of life available there.Nice article.The way things are presented in this article are best and amazing.Reply
That is what you call a total make over. You can even see the old thing in that new structure. Everything is new and very different. I salute to all who made that make over possible.Reply
This is incredible actually I didn't know it was possible because that's perfect that with paper pieces I can get those incredible stuffs, I'm gonna check this blog frequently to get incredible results.Reply
It is very difficult and delicate art form.Reply
The amazing thing here is Benson's generous reading of our intelligence by not slapping on a "Giffords" tag somewhere in the pic:
What makes you think that's Giffords?
That's America.
Sweet pictures, but I do not know what form of art is it?Reply
In the presence of great art, no words are neededReply
There are so complex forms of designing with paper. Congrats!Reply
This is amazing work. I wish I could create such fascinating work with paper.Reply

Post by Maria Godoy, The Salt at NPR Food (8/8/2013)
Wouldn't it be grand (and delicious) if we could boost our brain power with a daily dose of chocolate?
At first blush, a study published in the journal Neurology this week appears to offer tantalizing evidence that this may be the case, at least when it comes to seniors.
In the study, older adults (average age 73) who drank two cups of cocoa daily for one month showed improvements in how quickly they completed a set of cognitive tests. Brain imaging showed these patients also experienced better blood flow to the brain, the authors reported. Dozens of media outlets jumped on the news, with headlines blaring that cocoa "sharpens seniors' brains."

5 Dance wildly : MOSH
Moshing (also "slam dancing") is the pushing and shoving that takes place in the audience at a concert (usually a punk or heavy metal concert). The area directly in front of the stage is known as the mosh pit. When a performer does a "stage dive", it is into (or I suppose "onto") the mosh pit. It doesn't sound like fun to me. Injuries are commonplace in the mosh pit, and deaths are not unknown.
9 Miller's salesman : LOMAN
"Death of a Salesman" is a famous play by Arthur Miller that was first produced in 1949. "Death of a Salesman" won a Pulitzer and several Tony Awards over the years. The "Salesman" is the famous character Willy Loman. The play originally opened up on Broadway and ran for 724 performances. The lead role was played by veteran actor Lee J. Cobb.
14 Princess loved by Hercules : IOLE
Iole was a beautiful young woman of Greek Mythology who was loved by Heracles. However, Heracles could not marry Iole, because her father refused to allow the match. In Roman mythology, Heracles was known as Hercules.
15 "Have __ Right?": Honeycombs hit of 1964 : I THE
The Honeycombs were a band from England, and somewhat of a one-hit wonder. They had one really successful hit, namely 1964's "Have I the Right". Unusually for back then, the Honeycombs featured a female drummer, a woman who went by the name Honey Lantree.
16 Maine town on the Penobscot : ORONO
The town of Orono is home to the University of Maine that was founded in 1862. The college is actually located on an island (Marsh island) lying between the Penobscot and Stillwater rivers. The town of Orono is named after Joseph Orono, a chief of the Penobscot Nation. The school's athletic teams are named the Maine Black Bears.
17 Graceful swimmer : SWAN
An adult male swan is a cob, and an adult female is a pen. Young swans are swanlings or cygnets.
18 Tommy Dorsey, e.g. : TROMBONIST
Tommy Dorsey was a jazz trombonist and bandleader in the Big Band era, and the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. One of Tommy's singers was Frank Sinatra, whom he hired from bandleader Harry James in 1940. Sinatra claimed that he learned breath control from watching Tommy Dorsey play the trombone.
20 Bonny one : LASS
"Bonny" is a Scottish term meaning "pleasing, good-looking". The exact etymology of the term is unclear, although the assumption is that it comes from the Old French "bon, bone" meaning "good".
21 Paving supply : TAR
The terms "tarmac" and "macadam" are short for "tarmacadam". In the 1800s, Scotsman John Loudon McAdam developed a style of road known as "macadam". Macadam had a top-layer of crushed stone and gravel laid over larger stones. The macadam also had a convex cross-section so that water tended to drain to the sides. In 1901, a significant improvement was made by English engineer Edgar Purnell Hooley who introduced tar into the macadam, improving the resistance to water damage and practically eliminating dust. The "tar-penetration macadam" is the basis of what we now call "tarmac".
23 USN rank : ENS
Ensign is (usually) the most junior rank of commissioned officer in the armed forces. The name comes from the tradition that the junior officer would be given the task of carrying the ensign flag.
28 Tabled, for now : ON ICE
These "tabling" and "shelving" idioms drive me crazy, because they are often misused. If a topic is shelved, it is set aside. If a topic is tabled, it is brought "off the shelf" and put "on the table" for discussion. I know that language evolves, but I think that it should at least make sense …
30 Bernie Taupin's forte : LYRICS
Bernie Taupin is the celebrated lyricist who wrote the words to so many of the songs composed and published by Elton John. The pair were brought together by the music paper "New Musical Express" in England. Elton John submitted some of his work to the paper in 1967, and Taupin answered an ad for songwriters. The paper brought the two together, and they've worked together ever since.
32 Flor del amor : ROSA
In Spanish, the "rosa" (rose) is the "flor del amor" (flower of love).
33 Face on a fin : ABE
The US five-dollar bill is often called an "Abe", as President Abraham Lincoln's portrait is on the front. An Abe is also referred to as a "fin", a term that has been used for a five-pound note in Britain since 1868.
36 Car with a tri-shield logo : BUICK
David Dunbar Buick was an inventor working in Detroit, Michigan who founded the Buick Motor Company in 1903. Buick sold his interest in Buick Motors just three years later. He passed away in 1929, practically penniless. Still, over 30 million vehicles have been built that bore the Buick name.
37 IRA options : CDS
A certificate of deposit (CD) is like a less-flexible and higher-paying savings account. Instead of depositing money into a savings account and earning interest periodically, one can open a CD. With a CD one deposits a minimum amount of money but must leave it there for a specified length of time. In return for committing the funds for a fixed period, one is given a higher interest rate than a savings account and can redeem that interest and the initial deposit when the term has expired. CDs are relatively low-risk investments as they are FDIC insured, just like savings accounts.
Individual retirement account (IRA)
38 Shell lining : NACRE
Nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is the strong iridescent material laid down by some mollusks on the inside of their shells, and it's also what makes up pearls. The creature lays down nacre as a defensive mechanism, protecting the soft tissue of its body from the rough surface of the outer shell. Similarly, it uses nacre to encapsulate harmful debris or a parasite that penetrates the shell, and that's how a pearl is formed. Cultured pearls are made by inserting a tissue graft from a donor oyster, around which the nacre is laid down.

41 Tony Hillerman detective Jim : CHEE
Author Tony Hillerman was best known for his Navajo Tribal Police mystery novels. His works are particularly popular in France, and he was awarded the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière for his 1973 crime fiction novel "Dance Hall of the Dead".
45 Navy Midshipmen's mascot Bill, e.g. : GOAT
Bill the Goat is the US Naval Academy's mascot. The first mascot for the school was a gorilla, and then followed a couple of cats, a bulldog and a carrier pigeon. The first goat to make an appearance as a mascot was named El Cid, and that was back in 1893. A goat has been the USNA's mascot continuously since 1904.
Midshipman is the junior-most ranking officer in many navies. Back in the 1800s, a midshipman was an experienced seaman who worked or slept "amidships".
46 Coffeehouse orders : MOCHAS
Mocha is a port city in Yemen on the Red Sea and was once the principal port for the capital city of Sana'a. Mocha was the major marketplace in the world for coffee until the 1600s, and gave its name to the Mocha coffee bean, which in turn gave its name to the mocha brown color, and the flavor of coffee infused with chocolate.
49 Either "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" filmmaker : COEN
I think it's great to see two brothers working together and being so successful. Joel and Ethan Coen are two movie producers and directors who both live in New York City. The Coen brothers do love the movie-making business and they even married industry "insiders". Ethan's wife is film editor Tricia Cooke, and Joel is married to one of my favorite actresses, the talented Frances McDormand.'
"The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" is a 2018 movie written, produced and directed by the Coen brothers. It is an anthology film featuring six vignettes that are set on the American frontier. The first of those vignettes is the titular "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs".
51 Obamacare, briefly : ACA
The correct name for what has been dubbed "Obamacare" is the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (ACA).
55 Hogwarts mail carrier : OWL
In the "Harry Potter" universe, messages are sent by owl post, which uses owls as mail carriers.
57 Flowerlike marine animal : SEA ANEMONE
The name "anemone" means "daughter of the wind" in Greek, and at one time it was believed that the wind was what actually caused the flower to bloom. The sea anemone is named for the terrestrial plant even though the sea anemone isn't a plant at all. The sea anemone is a predatory animal found on the ocean floor.
59 Knucklehead : DODO
The dodo was a direct relative of the pigeon and dove, although the fully-grown dodo was usually three feet tall. One of the reasons the dodo comes to mind when we think of extinction of a species, is that it disappeared not too long ago (last recorded alive in 1681) and humans were the reason for its demise. The dodo lived exclusively on the island of Mauritius and when man arrived, we cut back the forests that were its home. We also introduced domestic animals, such as dogs and pigs, that ransacked the dodo's nests. The dodo was deemed to be an awkward flightless bird and so the term "dodo" has come to mean a dull-witted person.
63 Stand in a studio : EASEL
The word "easel" comes from an old Dutch word meaning "donkey", would you believe? The idea is that an easel carries its load (an oil painting, say) just as a donkey would be made to carry a load.
64 Ukr. and Est., once : SSRS
Ukraine is a large country in Eastern Europe that was a Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR) before the dissolution of the USSR. In English, we often call the country "the Ukraine", but I am told that we should say just "Ukraine".
Estonia is one of the former Soviet Socialist Republics (SSRs) and is located in Northern Europe on the Baltic Sea due south of Finland. Estonia has been overrun and ruled by various empires over the centuries. The country did enjoy a few years of freedom at the beginning of the 20th century after a war of independence against the Russian Empire. However, Estonia was occupied again during WWII, first by the Russians and then by the Germans, and then reoccupied by the Soviets in 1944. Estonia has flourished as an independent country again since the collapse of the USSR in 1991.
65 News article intro : LEDE
The opening paragraph in any work of literature is often just called "the lead". In the world of journalism, this is usually referred to as "the lede". The derivative phrase "bury the lede" means to fail to stress the most important aspect of a story.
1 Chapel divider : AISLE
Our word "chapel", meaning "place of worship", comes from the Latin word "capella" meaning "small cape". The reference is to a relic of Saint Martin of Tours, part of his cloak. Tradition has it that when Martin was a soldier, he cut his military cloak in two so as to give half to a beggar in need. The remainder he retained as his "capella". He did not know that the beggar was Christ in disguise. Martin then left the military to become a monk, then abbot and finally bishop. The cape came into the possession of the Frankish kings who brought the relic as they waged war, housing it in a tent called "the capella". The priests who said mass in the capella each day were known as the "capellani" (the source of our word "chaplain").
2 Martin's TV partner : ROWAN
Dan Rowan was the straight man to funny guy Dick Martin on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In".
"Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" was originally recorded as a one-off special for NBC in 1967, but it was so successful that it was brought back as a series to replace the waning spy show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." Personally, I loved both shows!
6 Others, in Tabasco : OTRAS
Tabasco is one of Mexico's 31 "estados" (states), and is located in the very southeast of the country.
12 First name in photography : ANSEL
As an avid amateur photographer, I have been a big fan of the work of Ansel Adams for many years and must have read all of his books. Adams was famous for clarity and depth in his black and white images. Central to his technique was the use of the zone system, his own invention. The zone system is a way of controlling exposure in an image, particularly when there is a high contrast in the subject. Although the technique was developed primarily for black & white film, it can even apply to digital color images. In the digital world, the main technique is to expose an image for the highlights, and one or more images for the shadows. These images can then be combined digitally giving a final photograph with a full and satisfying range of exposures.
13 Dark time in Pisa : NOTTE
The city of Pisa sits right on the Italian coast, at the mouth of the River Arno. The city is perhaps most famous for its Leaning Tower. The tower is actually the campanile (bell tower) of the city's cathedral, and it has been leaning since it was completed in 1173. Just shows you how important good foundations are …
27 Juice box brand : HI-C
Hi-C orange drink was created in 1946, and introduced to the market in 1948, initially in the south of the country. The name "Hi-C" was chosen to emphasize the high vitamin C content in the drink, as it contained added ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
30 WSJ news item : LBO
A leveraged buyout (LBO) is a transaction in which an investor acquires a controlling volume of stock in a company, but buys that stock with borrowed funds (hence "leveraged"). Often the assets of the acquired company are used as collateral for the borrowed money. There is a special form of LBO known as a management buyout (MBO) in which the company's own management team purchases the controlling interest.
"The Wall Street Journal" (WSJ) is a daily newspaper with a business bent that is published in New York City by Dow Jones & Company. The WSJ has a larger US circulation than any other newspaper, with "USA Today" coming in a close second place.
34 Maidenform product : BRA
Maidenform is a manufacturer of underwear for women that was founded in 1922. The three co-founders were driven to defy the norms of the day that dictated a flat-chested look for women. They produced items that fit the female body, hence the name "Maidenform".
37 Head of Cuba? : CEE
The head letter of the word "Cuba" is a letter C (cee).
39 Prefix with -gram : ANA-
Here are some of my favorite anagrams:
- "Dormitory" and "dirty room"
- "Elvis" and "lives"
- "The eyes" and "they see"
- "Eleven plus two" and "twelve plus one"
42 "Steppenwolf" author Hermann : HESSE
"Steppenwolf" is a 1927 novel by German-Swiss author Hermann House. The title translates from German as "Steppe Wolf", referring to a wolf found primarily in the steppes of Europe and Asia.
44 Bundle on the farm : SHEAVE
To sheave is to collect into a sheaf, into a bundle.
46 Tricky pool shot : MASSE
In billiards, a massé shot is one in which the cue ball makes an extreme curve due to the player imparting heavy spin on the ball with his or her cue held relatively vertically.
47 "Get Here" singer Adams : OLETA
Oleta Adams is an American soul singer from Seattle, Washington. Adams has had most of her success over in the UK, rather than here in the US.
48 Torino farewells : CIAOS
"Ciao" is Italian for "'bye". "Arrivederci" is more formal, and translates as "goodbye".
Turin ("Torino" in Italian) is a major city in the north of Italy that sits on the Po River. Back in 1861, when the Kingdom of Italy was formed, Turin was chosen as the first capital of the country.
53 Observe Yom Kippur : ATONE
Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people, and is also known as the Day of Atonement.
58 Abril, por ejemplo : MES

Coupe was convicted for embezzlement by a court in Giza after he allegedly tried to seize cheques connected to the collapse of Sainsbury's disastrous foray into Egypt 16 years ago.
As Sainsbury's most senior employee, Coupe was held responsible for the grocer's alleged actions and was automatically convicted in September after failing to attend court hearings in the country, according to The Times.
"This relates to a historic commercial dispute in which Mike Coupe had no involvement and we strongly refute all the allegations."
Sainsbury's statement
But Sainsbury's has claimed Coupe was convicted "without notice of the proceedings against him" and said its chief executive "had no involvement" in what it called a "historic commercial dispute."
Coupe was forced to fly out to Egypt on Sunday to attend an appeal hearing alongside Sainsbury's executives and security staff. Failure to do so would have been seen as "confirmation of his conviction", Sainsbury's said.
But the hearing was then adjourned until Sunday May 3. It is not yet known whether Coupe will attend the rescheduled hearing.
Egyptian venture
The case stems from Sainsbury's move into Egypt in 1999 when it paid £10m for a 25% stake in the joint venture with local partner Amr El Nasharty. It added a further £40m six months later to raise its stake to 80%.
Sainsbury's later withdrew from Egypt in 2001, when the business had about 100 stores and was losing £35m on sales of £80m.
According to Sainsbury's, Mr El Nasharty bought the joint venture from the UK retailer in 2001 but paid the grocer with cheques that bounced.
Coupe is alleged to have seized the cheques in July 2014, which the grocer said was "an impossibility."
Sainsbury's said in a statement: "This relates to a historic commercial dispute in which Mike Coupe had no involvement and we strongly refute all the allegations.
"Mike Coupe was not employed by Sainsbury's at the time of the original business deal in 2001 and has never met the complainant.
"When Mr El Nasharty bought our interest in the Egyptian joint venture we had with him in 2001, he paid us with cheques that were dishonoured. Mr El Nasharty is now claiming that Mike was in Egypt on July 15 2014 and seized these cheques, which is an impossibility.
"Mike Coupe was in London carrying out his normal duties that day. In September 2014 Mike Coupe was convicted, without notice of the proceedings against him and in his absence, in an Egyptian court. We have taken all necessary steps to appeal against these groundless claims and will continue to do so.
"This process is being handled by our legal team and we do not anticipate it having any material, operational or financial impact on the company."

Bitcoin Price Hits Record After Tesla Buys
Superintendent Lacewell also formed the Department's Research & Innovation Division in 2019 to advance New York's position as a global hub of financial innovation, including fintech, insurtech, and cryptocurrency. Led by Matthew Homer, the Division works to ensure that New Yorkers have safe access to the cryptocurrency marketplace and that New York remains at the center of technological innovation with forward-looking regulation. In fact, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey this summer tweeted that it was "only a matter of time" before Twitter built support for the Lightning Network, a layer atop the Bitcoin blockchain, into its platform. At the time, there was some speculation that users would first see this sort of support in a micropayments product, which has now been proven correct.
His replacement as CEO, Parag Agrawal, was tasked with developing Twitter's crypto strategy, and it seems likely that Twitter will continue to plough that field. Alex Dovbnya is a cryptocurrency expert, trader and journalist with extensive experience of covering everything related to the burgeoning industry — from price analysis to Blockchain disruption. Alex authored more than 1,000 stories for U.Today, CryptoComes and other fintech media outlets. He's particularly interested in regulatory trends around the globe that are shaping the future of digital assets, can be contacted at Bloomberg News, after investigation with former and current Twitter employees, reported that as many as 1500 Twitter employees and partners had access to the admin tools that would allow for the ability to reset accounts as had been done during the incident. Former members of Twitter's security departments stated that since 2015, the company was alerted to the potential from an inside attack, and other cybersecurity measures, but these were put aside, in favor of more revenue-generating initiatives.

As part of its mission, the Department protects New York consumers and businesses against fraud and cybersecurity threats in connection with financial products and services, including those related to cryptocurrency. Twitter has decided to roll out its Tips feature to global users including bitcoin payments. The new tool gives users the ability to link to payment platforms, including the Cash App, Venmo and others, so followers can not only show their support by liking a tweet but also by sending money. Twitter says it plans to integrate the Tips feature on iOS to start followed by Android devices. Jack Dorsey has already integrated bitcoin into his payments company, Square.

The carmaker's chief executive, Elon Musk, is known for promoting cryptocurrencies on his widely followed Twitter feed. Most recently, he has cheered on Dogecoin, a digital token begun as a joke but whose price has soared after encouragement by Mr. Musk. As demonstrated by the Twitter Hack, cybersecurity flaws can have serious consequences. The practices described below can help protect consumers and industry from similar hacks and would have substantially reduced the likelihood of the Twitter Hack. Because Cryptocurrency Companies are monitoring for scams, they are well-positioned to respond when patterns emerge. For example, once the Cryptocurrency Company became aware of the serious threat romance scams posed to their customers, they took solid action steps such as blocking fraudulent addresses and coordinating with regulators and law enforcement. Also, they are in the process of circulating guidance to their customers, identifying how to spot and avoid them. It is this type of vigilance and commitment to educating customers that can prevent consumers from losing money. In July 2020, the office of the Director of National Intelligence announced that foreign nations–primarily China, Russia and Iran–were attempting to interfere with democratic processes, using influence measures in social and traditional media.
- Tweet Binder's formula is more precise because we introduce other important variable like number of users and Twitter impressions and count the neutral tweets also.
- Both Twitter and Facebook have been losing ground with businesses due to this demographic shift in demand.
- He has a passion for Bitcoin, open-source code, and decentralized applications.
- Leadership is critical, and an executive-level leader should be responsible for cybersecurity.
Recent inflationary pressures due to the increased costs of production and transit caused by Covid and extreme weather patterns are real. Given Dorsey's profile and potential impact on investors, it could be considered a reckless thing to say; but it also reflects the strange ideology of all bitcoin enthusiasts. Twitter immediately felt the benefits, with its stock up nearly 4% after yesterday's close. A video from Mallers showing him using the new tipping feature, meanwhile, attracted 1.6 million views in just 15 hours. "What the internet did for communication, Bitcoin and the Lightning Network is doing for money," CEO Jack Mallers summarized in an accompanying blog post. The twice-serving CEO said his departure was due to the company being "ready to move on from its founders." Dorsey has not announced any future plans.
Twitter Ceo Jack Dorsey Keeps Saying no To Ethereum
Especially, twitter has attracted a lot of attention from researchers for studying the public sentiments. Stock market prediction on the basis of public sentiments expressed on twitter has been an intriguing field of research. Previous studies have concluded that the aggregate public mood collected from twitter may well be correlated with Dow Jones Industrial Average Index . The thesis of this work is to observe how well the changes in stock prices of a company, the rises and falls, are correlated with the public opinions being expressed in tweets about that company. In an elaborate way, positive news and tweets in social media about a company would definitely encourage people to invest in the stocks of that company and as a result the stock price of that company would increase.
The Hackers took advantage of these issues and pretended to be calling from Twitter's IT department about a VPN problem, and then persuaded employees to enter their credentials into a website designed to look identical to the real VPN login website. The Hackers' claims were far more credible–and ultimately successful–because Twitter's employees were all using VPN connections to work and routinely experiencing VPN problems that required IT's assistance. The Twitter Hack is a cautionary tale about the extraordinary damage that can be caused even by unsophisticated cybercriminals. The Hackers' success was due in large part to weaknesses in Twitter's internal cybersecurity protocols. The Department surveyed 25 Cryptocurrency Companies, but only received 22 replies because three of the Cryptocurrency Companies' replies covered two Cryptocurrency Companies, as they have the same management and do not have separate Twitter accounts. Fifteen Cryptocurrency Companies blocked transfers to the addresses the Hackers posted on Twitter and seven did not. Twitter retains the sole right to designate an account as verified and may remove verification at any time without notice. As of October 6, 2020, with few exceptions, the verification program is suspended until further notice and future requests for verification will not be accepted. The Department found no evidence the Twitter employees knowingly aided the Hackers.
Twitter Accelerates Again With Bitcoin Tips, Nfts, Recorded Spaces, Creator Fund And More
This is consistent with a recent Senate intelligence report, which found that Russian online influence operations during the 2016 elections were designed to undermine faith in democratic institutions and provoke social discord. Under the leadership of Superintendent Linda A. Lacewell, the Department in 2019 became the first state or federal financial regulator in the nation to create a Cybersecurity Division to protect consumers and industries from cyber threats. DFS recruited Justin Herring, the former chief of the Cybercrimes Unit at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, to lead the Cybersecurity Division. As the Superintendent has repeatedly stated, cybersecurity is the biggest threat to industry and government, bar none. The government has expressed concern that cryptocurrencies may be used for luring investors with misleading claims and for funding terror activities and money laundering. Twitter didn't fully explain how it will measure a conversation's vibe in the coming "Heads Up" feature, in order to warn newcomers about the nature of the discussion.
In addition, Square holds thousands of bitcoins on its balance sheet worth more than $350 million based on the most recent BTC price. Now Dorsey is expanding bitcoin-related features to his social media platform, Twitter. In addition to overseeing a social media platform that has 206 million active daily users, Dorsey is a strong bitcoin advocate. He has said that Square, the debit and credit card processing platform that Dorsey co-founded, is looking at getting into mining the cryptocurrency. It makes sense that investors are looking for the next big thing from tech, and that social media bosses would be searching for ways to profit from the cryptocurrency bubble. Before he left, Dorsey had been trying to expand Twitter into offering crypto-based payments and non-fungible token services.
AFP via Getty Images A move by China's central bank to criminalize all forms of cryptocurrency trading – effectively making bitcoin illegal in the country – has failed to meaningfully impact the price of the world's leading digital asset. During the second quarter of the year, Twitter grew its monetizable daily active user base by 10.8% year over year to 206 million. The company's earnings have recouped their losses from the pandemic recession — they more than doubled in the quarter ended June and are on track for stellar growth. Twitter is also doing well in terms of liquidity, with cash and investments outweighing its debt and convertible notes by a factor of two.
By contrast, a regulation for major social media companies could be applied to a handful of large, complex, and technologically sophisticated corporations with a global footprint. A cybersecurity regulation for large social media companies should be both more detailed and require more security in high-risk areas. Twitter and other large social media companies are popular, and often provide valuable services. Using Twitter, consumers can receive updates from friends and acquaintances, breaking news from media outlets, or public safety and emergency updates from government authorities. In many instances, tweets invite users to click on links to other websites, including websites that consumers may use to obtain commercial products or services. Twitter is social network where users post and interact with "tweets" – messages, restricted to 280 characters. Twitter was established in 2006 and, since then, has gained a large popularity around the world, totalling more than 330 million monthly active users in 2017. Twitter now is one of the largest sources of breaking news and is an important platform for expressing public opinion. Twitter has a lot of cryptocurrency news and may be used as a source to find latest crypto news available on the internet.
CoinMarketCap and Coinbase temporarily displayed sky-high crypto prices on Tuesday, making some users believe they scored oversized gains. On the other side, we need to investigate the sentiment of the tweets sent on this interval. Normally, other websites that talk about sentiment do this incorrectly because they only compare the number of positive respect the sum of positive and negative tweets. Tweet Binder's formula is more precise because we introduce other important variable like number of users and Twitter impressions and count the neutral tweets also. Nowadays we are always connected to information and to social networks. All this information that we cannot collect is being sent to the internet and maybe if we were able to read the important news in the right moment we could predict how the market is going to move in the next minutes providing us an incredible gain. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback's value against major fiat currencies, reached a fresh 16-month high of 95.50 early today on lingering fears that Federal Reserve may resort to early interest rate hikes to contain inflation. Interest rate hikes are generally bullish for domestic currencies and weigh over perceived inflation hedges like bitcoin and gold. Today, @Twitter enables free, instant, global payments for their users with their integration of the Strike API.
Trading cryptocurrencies is not supervised by any EU regulatory framework. Any trading history presented is less than 5 years old unless otherwise stated and may not suffice as a basis for investment decisions. This is not the first time that India's prime minister's Twitter account has been hacked and used to promote a fake Bitcoin giveaway scam. You'll recall that his account was one of the compromised accounts in the massive Twitter hack that occurred last year involving other powerhouses like current US president Joe Biden, ex-president Barack Obama and Tesla's founder Elon Musk. Removed from it, while a second had amounts in only the thousands of dollars as Twitter took steps to halt the postings. It is unclear if these had been funds added by those led on by the scam, as bitcoin scammers are known to add funds to wallets prior to starting schemes to make the scam seem legitimate. Of the funds added, most had originated from wallets with Chinese ownerships, but about 25% came from United States wallets. After it was added, the cryptocurrency was then subsequently transferred through multiple accounts as a means to obscure their identity. Getty Images Musk's tweet started a downward streak, fueled by news that China would ban its financial institutions from operating cryptocurrencies .
Twitter Ceo Jack Dorsey Resigns
The state will try him as an adult on over thirty charges related to felony counts, including organized fraud, communications fraud, identity theft, and hacking, under the state's law allowing them to convict minors as adults for financial fraud cases. The teen accepted a plea bargain by March 2021 which included serving three years of jail time including time served as a "youthful offender", even though he had turned 18 during the trial. Last month, Musk sent bitcoin prices plunging after announcing Tesla would no longer accept bitcoin as payment for its vehicles, citing the high levels of carbon emissions produced by bitcoin mining. Musk said it was looking into other cryptos, such as dogecoin, that are more eco-friendly. Bitcoin news portal providing breaking news, guides, price analysis about decentralized digital money & blockchain technology. Via an official company blog post, where it explained that Twitter users regularly add links in their bios so followers can help support them. Mr. Musk, who has more than 46 million followers on Twitter, has also used the social media platform to encourage the frenzy for the shares of GameStop, the troubled video game retailer. And last year, he criticized how elected officials and others were responding to the coronavirus pandemic and wrote last March that the number of confirmed virus cases would be "close to zero" by the end of April. Other companies, including the payments processor Square and the business intelligence software provider MicroStrategy, have publicly said they were investing corporate cash in Bitcoin. Regardless of the log management method, institutions should develop processes to collect, aggregate, analyze, and correlate security information.
A CISO should have sufficient independence to press for improved cybersecurity protocols, and having a CISO is important for getting buy-in on cybersecurity measures from senior management and across the organization. And a lack of a CISO sends the message that cybersecurity is not a top priority from senior leadership. The Twitter Hack highlighted the effective controls and strategies that had been put in place at the Cryptocurrency Companies in New York to block fraud and prevent the misuse of our financial systems. The Department has identified several best practices for Cryptocurrency Companies. The relevance of these best practices to Cryptocurrency Companies will vary depending on their unique business models and risk profiles. Despite efforts, Gemini, Square, and Coinbase advised that in the minutes before the blocking of addresses, a handful of customers were induced to make transfers to the Hackers' accounts, totaling approximately $22,000 in losses. These are the only reported Cryptocurrency Company client losses and represent just 1.63% of the value of the blocked transfers.
Bernard Parah's Bitnob and Strike are interoperable because they both joined the Bitcoin and Lightning open monetary network. And now, Twitter and its millions of users joined both of those companies and the network. This man Jack Mallers has a way of finding himself in the middle of historic transactions. This time, the Strike CEO used the recently unveiled Twitter Tips Lightning integration to send $10 instantly to San Salvador. The person at the other end of the line then uses the money to buy coffee in a little-known independent coffee shop. We're witnessing the fusion of one of the biggest social networks in the world with Bitcoin's open monetary network. Our public institutions must evolve to keep up with new types of systemically important systems such as social media. Twitter used application-based MFA, which sent a request for authentication to an employee's smart phone. Read more about Litecoin to Bitcoin here. During the Twitter Hack, the Hackers got past MFA by convincing the Twitter employees to authenticate the application-based MFA during the login. The most secure form of MFA is a physical security key, or hardware MFA, involving a USB key that is plugged into a computer to authenticate users.

I now understand how Alice in Wonderland felt, well, without the mysterious growing and shrinking and weird creatures 🙂 Initially I was only privy to viewing from the exterior through what should have been the main entrance but I've eventually had reason to be on the inside a number of times and each experience has been quite unique. The museum is accessible by paid admission but the gardens are open to the public. That I didn't know until my last visit … the plan was to walk around till they found me and kicked me out but I read the sign which confirmed that would not happen 😛 These images are a combination of multiple visits there. So we start from the rather obscure entrance 🙂
Waiting for KeV to go here hehehe
The Garden is absolutely beautiful. It's almost like a maze with seating and overgrowing hedges along the narrow paths.
I was on the other side of this view for quite some time 🙂
Below is their multipurpose space which I learned could comfortably seat 450+ = the last time I visited – they were setting up for a music festival.
Loving the details! The materials used were mostly brick and steel. Great precision was executed into joining the materials at various places.
When these develop I'll bet it'll make a fantastic picnic area!
MY latest discovery of the gardens:
Austin was kind enough to take a photo of me since I had no other company!
Never noticed the leaves till now. Very nice texture
This one's my favorite photo and part of the trip so of course I saved it for last 🙂

Augustina Campos, Managing Broker
Jaime Campos, Team Lead
Sisters Augustina and Jaime Campos have found success in real estate by fostering a sense of family between themselves, among their team and with clients. "Family is at the core of our business when it comes to our team and especially when it comes to clients," they say. "Our team is focused on building long-lasting relationships."
Augustina and Jaime co-own RE/MAX Loyalty and lead their own real estate team, the Chicago Property Sisters. The group primarily works with first-time homebuyers, investors and sellers, focusing on all kinds of residential properties in the Chicagoland area. In 2020, while balancing full-time careers and motherhood during the pandemic, they added an additional full-time buyer specialist and a licensed client specialist to their team.
With more than two decades of experience between them, Augustina and Jaime work to build their team so it can better serve the community. "We work every day on becoming the best versions of ourselves because we understand our team is counting on us," they say, emphasizing their mission to exceed expectations and focus on client goals. "We are not in it for a one-time sale. We guide clients every step of the way."
With expertise, critical market knowledge and exceptional communication skills, Augustina and Jaime have earned many accolades. In 2020 alone, the pair earned the Chicago Association of Realtors' Silver award for top-producing teams and membership in the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. They were also named to RE/MAX's Top 40 Agents Under 40 for 2020 and the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals' Top 250 list.
In addition to their successful careers in real estate, the Property Sisters do more to serve their community of Pilsen. Augustina and Jaime helped found and grow the My House Music Festival, a two-day music experience and nonprofit organization commemorating the origins, growth and popularity of the House Music Movement. The picturesque and diverse neighborhood of Pilsen, located in the Lower West Side of Chicago, sets the scene for artisans, vendors, merchants and music. This year's festival takes place Aug. 28 and 29.

Editorial: Twin Cities — Stop the rot
It's not enough to worry about what's happening in our community when law enforcement officers are shot in the line of duty.
It's just not enough.
We have serious issues of poverty, ignorance, pervasive drugs and domestic violence.
For decades, our elected leaders, business leaders, law enforcement, churches and non-profits have worked on these issues. Millions of dollars have been spent.
Yet, the numbers never seem to improve. We're still grappling with high poverty rates, adults with substandard educations and increasingly frightening crimes.
It's easy to live on "the northside" or "West Monroe" and think you're immune from the problems of people who don't have money, power, education or hope.
We're not immune.
These issues are everywhere.
In both Monroe and West Monroe, our declining core city neighborhoods have created a donut hole of "where you don't want to live if you can afford to reside elsewhere" in the Twin Cities. People who can afford to live outside the core are doing so in increasing numbers as sprawl continues north, south, east and west.
People want to be near good schools, conveniences and live in neighborhoods where they feel safe.
If the core is rotten, the apple is not far behind.
We don't know a solution other than redoubling efforts to improve our education system, reaching out more to assist families in crisis, not standing for unkempt or vacant properties.
Law enforcement, yes, they're doing what they can – but they need much help. Each of us has a responsibility to help lift our communities.
We're worried about our futures, particularly neighborhoods where urban decay already has taken firm hold.
We will not prosper with a rotten core.
