The War on Britain's Roads (1 x 60′) – Viewers will be parachuted into the middle of a war that is raging between two-wheeled road users and their four-wheeled counterparts. As more and more people take up cycling as a way of beating the traffic or just keeping fit on their commute, the potential for conflict between cyclists and drivers has increased massively.
Now cameras installed on bikes and in vehicles will use heart-stopping footage of interactions between road users to reveal a shocking picture of life on Britain's roads. The film will follow current cases as they go through the courts and revisit the tragic stories of some of those who have lost their lives on Britain's roads.

IG Seismic Services (IGSS) is a leading pure play, land and transition-zone seismic company, primarily servicing clients in Russia and the CIS. We offer:
We are the result of the combination of the Russian seismic assets of three leading companies, finalized in December 2011:
By combining the global experience and technology of Schlumberger with the strong regional infrastructure and operational knowledge of GEOTECH and Integra, we are in prime position to capitalize on the favorable secular trends in the Russian and CIS seismic markets.
The geophysical companies which make up IGSS have over 70 years' of history, dating back to the very beginnings of Russian geological exploration. Each company has played a prominent role in the history and development of the Russian oil and gas services industry.
Between them, they have performed millions of kilometres of profiles, explored thousands of geological areas and pioneered the exploration of the principal oil and gas fields in Russia and the CIS. Their research and field tests – conducted with the Russian Academy of Sciences – have also been vital in the development of seismic technologies in Russia.
Our field crews, supported by cutting-edge technologies and equipment, are capable of operating in all terrains and under the most challenging geographical, geological and climatic conditions. This includes desert sands, taiga, tundra, steep mountains, marshes and permafrost.
The Russian seismic exploration industry has changed dramatically in recent years. However, we have been able to preserve the data and experience accumulated during the Soviet era by the companies who make up IGSS. This, combined with the largest modernization ever conducted in the industry, ongoing R&D and advanced new technologies, allows IGSS to explore oil fields with maximum efficiency and effectiveness – providing our clients with seismic services of unparalleled quality.
We are present in all the key Russian onshore hydrocarbon basins – including frontier areas – with promising prospects for future growth. Our logistical infrastructure and experience of regional operations makes this possible.
Oil and gas remain the basis for Russia's economic development and prosperity. Geological prospecting is therefore a strategic priority. New fields need to be detected and explored to maintain the country's current output and leading position. IGSS is proud to play its part in sustaining the country's future.
Boasting a diverse customer base, we have built up strong relationships with all the significant users of seismic services in Russia. IGSS work closely with the country's largest privately owned companies and the Russian government agencies responsible for publicly funded geological exploration.
We particularly benefit from our strong relationships with state-owned oil and gas companies including OAO Gazprom and OAO NK Rosneft. It is companies like these who are expected to play an important role in the exploration and development of Russia's most promising undeveloped oil and gas regions.
Click here for further information
We provide the full spectrum of seismic exploration services in each of the major Russian hydrocarbon provinces. This includes Western and Eastern Siberia, South of Russia and the Timano-Pechora area.
We are now paying special attention to growing markets, such as Eastern Siberia, Timano-Pechora and Yamalo-Nenets.
IGSS also operates in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and abroad.
Please see a full list or regions in which we operate.
Headquartered in Moscow, we have regional offices in all of the principal oil and gas regions of Russia – as well as some CIS states.
To see the list of companies by region, click here
IGSS operates in two business divisions:
1. Field Seismic Works
2. Geophysical Data Processing and Interpretation.
1. Field Seismic Works
Our field seismic division focuses on acquiring seismic data on land and transition zones. We rely on sophisticated seismic sources and perform a variety of surveys. Our mobilized field crews work in each of the key Russian hydrocarbon provinces. These include Western and Eastern Siberia, Timano-Pechora and Volga-Urals. We also operate in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and abroad.
Our crews are capable of performing seismic services in shallow waters, on shore and in transition zones. The field crews are supported by 28 operational bases. These are located in each Russian hydrocarbon province where we operate as well as Kazakhstan. Specialized repair and maintenance centers can be found in 16 of these bases.

2. Geophysical Data Processing and Interpretation
We operate a well-developed network of nine data processing and interpretation centers. Eight of these are in the Russian Federation, while the other is in Kazakhstan. For the full list of centers, click here.
This division processes and reprocesses seismic data, performs geological modeling and provides consulting services to our customers' oil and gas field drilling and development programs. The seismic data required for this is either provided directly by our clients or acquired by our field seismic works department.
We offer a large range of 2D and 3D seismic data processing and interpretation services, including the rendering of complex geological oil and gas field models. This division also develops oil and gas field exploration strategies based on hydrodynamic models.

The fourth image in my "Harp" bridge series presenting the Katehaki Pedestrian Bridge in Athens,by Santiago Calatrava. It will most probably be followed by another one that will wrap up the series (for now, at least).
It was yet another interesting image to process. I guess I'm enjoying at least as much the things I discover about myself while processing an image, as I'm enjoying the processing itself.
Like all the other photographs in this series, this image was not exactly easy to process. And not because of the technical difficulties of the processing itself. But because of the way I was dealing with my idea, with my vision about it. From the beginning I had a great sky. Long streaks of clouds converging to the pylon, good contrast in the sky, what more could I have wished for? I was sure that the processing would go like a breeze. Well, I had a big surprise, it turned out to be not that easy. When I actually approached the image and started processing it, I realized that there was constantly something not working in the sky, something that I couldn't put my finger on and tell what it was. I was struggling with it for a few days, while I couldn't get what I had in mind and had to do and redo and undo and redo again umpteen times (I think I've done at least 10 versions of the sky, all different, till I found what I was looking for) ...and while I realized that the problem wasn't the photo but me, the problem was that I was not fully letting my idea take control. I was letting too much the image that came out of the camera lead me. With the result that I was turning around in circles, and getting away from my vision instead of getting closer to it. Then, when I realized that I wasn't owing anything to that image the camera gave me, I was able to at last set my mind free and let my idea come out and there I was, finally managing to create what I was feeling inside me that I have to create.
But this process was quite energy c

In the before update of my data entry form I have Me.LAST_MODIFIED = Now which gives date and time when the record is modified. (LAST_MODIFIED is a field in my query set to date/time). The form has a subform - main form has staff details and the subform has training done.
It works OK on the main form if I make changes but not if I input data into the subform. How can I fix it?
Thanks.Thomas J Marshall

This is because the subform and ensuing data on it are subject to to separate event procedures. i.e. when you change the subform it is not triggering the main forms before_update event. It is in fact triggering the subforms own and separate before_update event.
Within the before_update event on the subform code you'll need to insert a similar statement.
A good way to understand what events are working and when, is to put test msgbox's on some of the events procedures and enter and update your form and subform with test data. You'll soon get to grips with when the various procs are running and why....
Hope this helps

'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan has been on the look out for a suitable heroine to pair up opposite him in his next film titled 'Viswaroopam'. Selvaraghavan, who was to direct the film, walked out after he developed some 'difference of opinion' with Kamal Haasan on the issue of actress Gauthami's participation during the story discussion.
After Selvaa's exit from the film, it was decided that Kamal Haasan would direct the film himself. This would be his own directorial venture after 'Hey Ram', which he made almost a decade back. The next one to walk out of the film was Bollywood's Sonakshi Sinha, who was signed up to play Kamal's lead in the film. Sonakshi said the crew had 'wasted' her call-sheet dates and said she was quitting the film for good so that no further dates are wasted.
The offer to play Kamal's lead was later given to Vidya Balan, who is presently starring in 'The Dirrty Picture', a film based on the life of the late 'Silk' Smitha. Without much publicity, Vidya too turned down the offer to play the heroine in 'Viswaroopam'. The name of Sonam Kapoor, daughter of veteran actor Anil Kapoor and a popular heroine, was also said to be in the reckoning but Kapoor Jr says she was never approached to play the lead role in the Kamal-starrer.
Isha Sherwani, who is said to be dating Indian speedster Zaheer Khan, has been signed up to play Kamal's sister in the film. As on date, though, the search is still on to locate a suitable heroine to star opposite Kamal!

The striking medical doctors in Lagos state this morning won the first round of their legal battle against the state government as the National Industrial Court sitting in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, assuming jurisdiction to hear the case, refused to sustain the objection filed by the defendants.
The Attorney-General of Lagos State, Ade Ipaye, on behalf of the state government and other defendants, filed a preliminary objection against the suit filed by the medical doctors.
He argued on two issues namely, that the Medical Guild had no locus standi to sue and that the suit displayed no cause of action.
Counsel to the striking doctors, Bamidele Aturu, told the court that the Guild could sue in representative capacity since the court had always permitted non-incorporated associations to sue in trade disputes.
In his ruling this morning, the presiding judge, Justice Benedict Kayip while citting series of authorities including Supreme Court Authority of India, said it is instructive and decisive that the right or wrong of the employer or employee must be determined based on principle of justice, equity and good conscience.
He said labour practices are not only in favour of the employer, but employees and the court has always permitted non-juristic persons to participate in labour disputes.
"I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that natural human being has the right to sue and be sued.
"National Industrial Court has the power to resolve labour disputes, industrial labour safety, welfare of workers and trade disputes," the judge said.
The judge refused to declare whether the suit discloses a reasonable cause of action or not because this is what would be determined in the main suit.
The case has been adjourned till 19 June for hearing.
Meanwhile, the Head of Service, Lagos State, Mr Adesegun Ogunlewe, on Wednesday said the government might recall some of the recently sacked doctors.
Ogunlewe made the disclosure in Ikeja at a news briefing to mark Governor Babatunde Fashola's fifth year in office.
He said some of the sacked doctors had already appealed to the government for a recall, saying the appropriate authorities were looking into their cases.
"Yes, some of the sacked doctors have appealed to the government.
"The relevant authorities of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and Health Service Commission (HSC) are considering these cases.
"And very soon the results of the appeal will be made public", Ogunlewe said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that 788 doctors were sacked on May 7 by the government for failing to respond to queries after embarking on "an illegal strike".
The doctors, had under the aegis of the Medical Guild, embarked on a three-day warning strike from April 11 to April 13 and subsequently an indefinite strike on April 25 to demand for improved working conditions.
Ogunlewe ruled out a blanket recall of all the doctors, pointing out that LASUTH and HSC would have to determine those who merited re-absorption.
The Head of Service said the government was still in talks with the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) on ways to iron out the differences.
He said the government sacked the doctors to save the state's health sector, stressing that the strike violated the terms and rules of their employment.
Ogunlewe said the strike was not justified, especially as the government had implemented the Consolidated Medical Salary Scale (CONMESS) for doctors in its employment.
The HOS explained that government had not embarked on the employment of workers recently because there was no vacancies for massive recruitment.
He, however, said 1,680 officers were recruited between June 2011 and April 2012 based on special needs.
"This figure covers those in other services except the local governments.
"Of course recently, the Ministry of Education placed advertisements for teaching positions, particularly in areas of critical needs of our schools," he added.
Ogunlewe restated the government's commitment to improving the welfare of workers, saying a lot had been done to demonstrate that commitment over the years.

Learn about Greenville College casting, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Greenville College Theatre Studies information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Greenville College.
Not all people working as actors in film, television, or theater are professionally trained. For example, Bob Hoskins didn't have any formal training before taking up acting. Universities may offer drama programs derived from the system of Constantine Stanislavski, which was popularized in America by Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler. Regardless of a school's approach, students should study human emotions, character interpretation, voice and dance.
While most modern theatre companies rehearse only one new piece of theatre at a time, and then perform that piece for a set run, retire the piece, repertory companies often rehearse multiple shows at once. Repertory theatre involves a group of accomplished actors, and relies more on the reputation of the group, rather than on an individual star performer. Further, actors who have worked together in several productions can respond to each other's nonverbal cues without relying as much on external direction or adherence to theatrical conventions. Beyond consideration for Greenville College casting, you may think about Mississippi Valley State University connections for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

There is no mention in the press material or technical information of power output. Experts believe it could top 400kW.
The HRT 427 (the name comes from the engine's capacity in cubic inches) is powered by a hand-built Corvette race engine.
If the car goes into production it is expected to be made to order, with a pricetag tipped to exceed $200,000.
So complex is it to build that HSV's maximum production capacity is understood to be 30 cars a year.
The wings and spoilers, emulating those of Holden's V8 Supercar race kit, give the car an aggressive stance.
HSV has whittled 100kg from the Monaro – the 427 weighs 1575kg – by using lightweight materials, including aluminium suspension arms. The wheels are magnesium.
Creature comforts such as the audio and air-conditioning systems are deleted. This is a road-going race car.
HSV says it has invested $500,000 to develop the car which, it claims, will challenge the credentials of Porsche and Ferrari.
It is using the Sydney Motor Show to gauge interest. If orders are placed, the first car could be ready within six months.

12 Fastest Growing Economies In Africa During 2016By Peter Pedroncelli, 2:15 am AFKI Original
The African continent is home to some of the fastest growing economies on the planet, with numerous nations on the continent among the top 10 best performing economies globally. The best performing economies in Africa have benefited from government policies and structural reforms, which have resulted in strong inclusive growth. According to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) World Economic Outlook for 2016, a long list of African economies were in line to achieve positive growth above 3% for the year 2016.
Trumponomics: Why African Countries Need To Trade More Among ThemselvesBy Staff, 5:32 pm
Over the last 20 years, Africa's trade with emerging markets has grown rapidly. A slowdown in global trade could hurt demand for Africa's export commodities. To counter this, African economies must boost intraregional trade. While unlikely to compensate for a global trade slowdown, this might mitigate some of its more negative effects. Faced with the threat of new disruptions to existing trade patterns, it's important that African economies start trading more among themselves.
Sub-Saharan Africa, Best-Performing Bond Market Region For Emerging EconomiesBy Dana Sanchez, 4:45 pm
Goldman Sachs just helped Angola successfully issue a $1.5 billion sovereign bond. Hugely oversubscribed, it attracted $7 billion in investment in spite of the government halving its budget over the past year because of the oil-price plunge. Bond investors in Nigeria registered returns of 40 percent and in Kenya, 56 percent since 2014, despite the plunge in the oil price. But some caution against being overoptimistic.
Foreign Companies Stumble In Search Of Africa's Elusive Middle ClassBy Kevin Mwanza, 1:04 pm
But unlike other emerging regions like Asia and South America, getting Africa's emerging middle class to buy into foreign products is a totally different game plan. African have 'peculiar habits' and knowing how to tap into this habits is the key to breaking into this consumer market. While some like Nestle are stumbling and retreating, others like US retail giant Walmart are getting bolder about investing in the continent's consumers.
Forecast: Africa To Host 5 New Aviation MegacitiesBy Dana Sanchez, 5:13 pm
Urbanization and rising incomes are driving aviation growth in Africa, with the low-cost market expected to provide the largest opportunities. By 2032 Africa could host seven of the top-20 fastest-growing air traffic flows, and will need at least 1,540 aircraft to service demand, according to an Airbus forecast.

The seventh week. It's insane to think that I've now been living in Manchester, 200-and-something miles from home, for seven weeks already. On two separate ends of the scale, it's gone scarily fast and yet it feels like I've been here forever all at the same time. I can't quite put my finger on what makes me feel so comfortable to live here. I keep telling people that it feels 'just like home' and I guess in a way it really does. Manchester is a city just like London, only more condensed. Like somebody has put a gigantic clamp around the M25 and squeezed it into a perfect M60 shape (motorway analogies because I can, okay). It has all the amenities that London has: a frequent bus network, suburbs and little secrets, restaurants and bars galore, an awesome green ring. It's a non-stop 24-hour locale that beckons all types of the human lifeform.
But there's something more than just how similar it is to the place I grew up in. Something that's less of a physical attraction and more of a mental connection. For the first time in a long time, I feel absolutely at ease here. Calm, tranquil, like I've lived here all my life. It could be a combination of the excitement of being in new surroundings both at home and a work, slightly more enjoyable working hours than I had down south (no more waking up at 4:45am anyway), living just down the road to my boyfriend as oppose to a 4-hour drive. I don't know what it is, all I know is that I'm riding the wave right now and enjoying this new positive feeling about ~life~ and I am not complaining!
Not one to blow my own trumpet or anything, but I'm probably the most positive, enthusiastic person I know. Seriously, almost painfully so. Everything is amazing to me. A walk to the shops or a daytrip to a beauty spot, it doesn't matter, they're basically the same thing in terms of level of excitement. I am a total yes person, perhaps even suffering from a side dose of FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out - that is sometimes detrimental to my wellbeing. I'm only just learning to tone it down a bit and lend myself a bit of 'me time', something that has me itching as soon as I say the N-word (which is no, in case you thought otherwise). It's tough but I'm beginning to get used to it. I'm finding that it helps me focus more on things I really want to achieve day-to-day, week-by-week, in the extended future. And I've been trying to fill my 'me time' with less wasteful activities such as spending 3 hours watching YouTube clips and vlogs (don't judge me, we've all been there). More getting engrossed in Netflix series' and turning page after page in a new book. Orange Is The New Black, It's Not Me It's You and Eleanor & Park which I just started today have kept my little brain buzzing. Even though I am a self-confessed painfully positive person, of course I have worries just like any other 27-year-old in this day and age. I worry about money - don't we all? - not on a daily survival basis or even looking after the important things in life like annual car insurance, but I'm definitely concerned about saving enough for South East Asia in the winter. I'm worried about my place in my job and whether I should start fine-tuning skills to help my CV look more appealing. I'm worried about my horrible headaches. Sometimes I worry just a little bit about my age and that I'm going to run out of time to do all the things that I want to do before I 'settle down'. Most of my worries concern travel and if you know me well enough I guess that won't be surprising in the slightest.
But there are things that I am unshaken by too. Aside from the brief 'omg-I'm-running-out-of-time' quandaries I have about age, I often remind myself that I'm only 27. I'm hardly old and it's just a bloody number. Sometimes when I'm asked, I have to take a moment to think because if I was to reply so quickly I'm sure I'd say 23 - that's the age I honestly feel. I'm unshaken by my body these days; it used to be a big deal to me more recent that I'd like to admit, but now it's a case of love me or leave me. I'm comfortable in my own skin. Yeah I have a belly and wobbly thighs and a uneven skin tone and wide shoulders - I like all of that. I like every single part of me and I'm really trying to look after myself in the best way possible, to help my headaches more than anything. I gave myself a period of grace after moving where I could gorge on chocolate and takeaways whenever I like, just like nesting into a new relationship. Now, I've manned up: giving up the free paninis at work is a tough deal but after filling my lunchtimes with stuff like a homemade blackened cajun chicken salad and baby carrots with lashings of sweet chilli houmous, the blow has certainly been softened. I drink water like it's going out of fashion. I walk everywhere and take a new route wherever I go. Even my mini money worries eventually get the YOLO treatment in my head; you can't take it with you when you die, after all.
Another thing I've been rediscovering my enjoyment in is simply listening to music again. I don't really know why, but I just haven't had the ear for listening to a lot of music for the past couple of years. I've given so many albums a spin in the last few weeks that my rusty last.fm account is wondering what all the drama is. I'm really enjoying the new Everything Everything and Mumford & Sons albums, Florence & The Machine and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds as previously mentioned, old favourites like Belle & Sebastian and The Bronx and Jake Bugg always, always, always. It's re-revved up my interest in volunteering at Leeds Festival this year and all the bands that I could have an opportunity at catching.
What is the relevance of all of this? Nothing really; this is just a collective of words that my brain sent to my fingertips to type up for next-to-nobody to witness. But all of this and some recent thoughts have made me realise something quite drastic and of the utmost importance: I'm actually beginning to pinpoint that in the last couple of years I've been more down that I ever realised. The D-word is something that I would never throw around lightly (depressed, by the way) but I would perhaps say that isn't too far from the truth. The thing is, when you're there in the moment and wallowing in it, you can never quite see it for yourself. And as I mentioned before, I am the number one person at putting on that sunny disposition like a well-worn hat. Now I can look back and clearly appreciate, for lack of a better term, that I haven't been myself for a long long time. But that's okay, because everything is going to be so much better. In fact, it's mostly better already.
I'm so excited for the rest of the year. Even the rest of this week and overlapping into next is enough to send me giddy with glee - attending the hen party of my best friend is any little lady's dream, especially when it's with a glorious gaggle of girls in a countryside cottage in deepest Derbyshire! Then, armed with an extra couple of days off and totally seizing the moment I'm extending my drive down south to visit the parents and pop in on a couple of friends. In less than a month I will be holidaying of the Isle Of Mull with my boyfriend and his family and I cannot wait to just be away from everything and immersed in nature and outstanding beauty. August brings the aforementioned Leeds Fest, September hopefully brings a trip to Budapest with some new-found friends and November brings backpacking around South East Asia into the forefront. I'm also full of beans about all the guests I can host, all the walks and hikes that I can do, all the photos that I can snap and all the writing I can do.
To say that I'm turning a page is an insult to understatements. It's more like I'm beginning a brand new chapter, one that has been on the cusp of starting for so long but never quite gaining enough momentum to become true. But it's here and now and ready and I'm holding on tight. Don't give away the end; the one thing that stays mine.

I received amazing inchies from Superhooker and Alteredmommy this week! The ones from Superhooker actually came days ago, but I've been knocked out with an awful flu, which has caused me to be a terrible partner and not post pictures until now.
From Superhooker (sorry, my camera does not want to capture these. If you have better ones, please post them):
I got part of the octopus/tree! I love them all, but I think the embroidered felt are my favorites. They feel so nice in your hand. The drawings are beautiful, though. I love how soft they look.
From Alteredmommy:
These are all so cool! I keep deciding that one is my favorite, and then changing my mind. Right now, the contest is between "perceptible" (I love the watch gear) and the heart, although "flim-flammed" is right up there too. Oh, who am I kidding, they are all fabulous.
Thank you, ladies!

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) efficiency, defined as the ATP:O ratio, is a critical feature of mitochondrial function that has been implicated in health, aging and disease. To date however, the methods to measure ATP:O have primarily relied on indirect approaches or entail parallel rather than simultaneous determination of ATP synthesis and O2 consumption rates. The purpose of this project was to develop and validate an approach to determine ATP:O ratio in permeabilized fiber bundles (PmFBs) from simultaneous measures of ATP synthesis (JATP) and O2 consumption (JO2) rates in real-time using a custom-designed apparatus. JO2 was measured via a polarigraphic oxygen sensor and JATP via fluorescence using an enzyme-linked assay system (hexokinase II, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) linked to NADPH production. Within the dynamic linear range of the assay system, ADP-stimulated increases in steady-state JATP mirrored increases in steady-state JO2 (r2 = 0.91, p < 0.0001, n=57 data points). ATP:O ratio was <1 under low rates of respiration (15 μM ADP) but increased to >2 at moderate (200 μM ADP) and maximal (2000 μM ADP) rates of respiration with an inter-assay coefficient of variation of 24.03%, 16.72% and 11.99%, respectively. Absolute and relative (to mechanistic) ATP:O ratios were lower in PmFBs (2.09 ± 0.251, 84%) compared with isolated mitochondria (2.44 ± 0.124, 98%). ATP:O ratios in PmFBs were not affected by the activity of adenylate kinase or creatine kinase. These findings validate an enzyme-linked respiratory clamp system for measuring OXPHOS efficiency in PmFBs and provide evidence that OXPHOS efficiency increases as energy demand increases.

Belgium seeks transferral of Fr Guy Theunis
Belgian Foreign Minister Karel de Gucht formally filed a request for the transfer of prosecution to Belgium of Father Guy Theunis of the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers) after a meeting with Rwandan Foreign Minister Charles Murigande on Monday. Fr Theunis was arrested in Kigali at the beginning of this month and charged with having a key role in incitement to teh 1994 genocide. The White Fathers have adamantly defended Fr Theunis and say the Belgian Foreign Minister "now hopes in a rapid transferral of the case". A spokesman said Fr Theunis had overcome the initial shock of his arrest, and has integrated well into the Christian community of the central prison of Kigali, where he is finding a new mission among the prisoners. He said: "After three weeks in prison Fr Theunis appears to be holding up both physically and psychologically. He receives newspapers each day and it is possible to visit him. He is not in isolation and said he is touched by the numerous initiatives to support him." Source: MISNA

Align works with a wide variety of businesses and organizations, serving each in a different way. Here is a small sampling of our clients and what we do to help them be stronger and more efficient.
STARS, is a non-profit organization with three primary purposes that directly and indirectly impact positive outcomes for children and families in Wyoming: professional development, data collection and dissemination, active advocacy. It is funded by the Wyoming Department of Family Services and is administered by Align.
LIEAP is a federally-funded program that helps people pay home heating bills November through May. The program is open to homeowners and renters. It helps cover the costs of electricity, natural gas, propane, wood, diesel heating oil, coal and pellets when these are used for heating a home. LIEAP is facilitated by the Wyoming Department of Family Services and has been administered by Align since 2013.
The Wyoming Nonprofit Network represents the collective voice of the Wyoming nonprofit sector and brings best practices, resources and support to the nonprofit community so that each nonprofit can more effectively fulfill its mission. The program is funded by membership dollars. It is administered by Align.
"As a non-profit leader within the American Red Cross and as the chair of the Wyoming Nonprofit Network, Align's support of the Wyoming Nonprofit Network is critical and invaluable to nonprofits across Wyoming. The work that Align does to make the nonprofit sector healthy and ensure vital services are delivered to clients all across the state cannot be understated. Working with Align, particularly Jody Shields, many non-profits have taken advantage of otherwise fiscally out-of-reach services like strategic planning, technological training and information sharing that make them more viable and sustainable. Furthermore, without Align's support of the Network's pivotal work with our legislators and government partners, the nonprofit sector quickly loses its voice and often the resources needed to complete their missions. Without a doubt, Wyoming and particularly vulnerable Wyomingites are better because of the strong commitment Align has to the nonprofit sector and the nonprofit missions."
– Spencer Pollock, MEP, Executive Director of American Red Cross of Wyoming
Head Start promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to five from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional development. The program provides comprehensive services to enrolled children and their families, which include health, nutrition, social, and other services determined to be necessary by family needs assessments, in addition to education and cognitive development services. Head Start services are designed to be responsive to each child and family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage.
"For the past four years, Align has worked with the Head Start community facilitating the annual state level strategic plan. Align provided exemplary customer service prior to the strategic planning meeting breaking down complex federal requirements and building in focused opportunities for robust participation during the meeting. The final report accurately reflected the group's input. The professional support provided through Align's staff impressively covered a lot of ground in a very short amount of time. Overall, Align continually exceeds expectations and you can expect a polished, proficient, and pleasant experience in working with their organization."
Sheila R. Ricley, Director of Head Start State Collaboration Office
Wyoming Department of Workforce Services
WEDA is a non-profit professional association representing nearly 200 economic development members and organizations. The organization supports its members through membership benefits, lobbying efforts and educational tools. WEDA is supported by membership dollars and Wyoming Business Council. The organization has been administered by Align since 2014.
"As a membership organization comprised of professionals that volunteer their time for WEDA, we've always relied on a strong administrator to carry on the day-to-day work. Since assuming that position in 2014, The Align Team has proven efficient and creative. We value their interest in Wyoming's economic development. What they didn't know, they've been willing to learn – and to keep learning. They've also found ways for WEDA to generate additional revenue so that we can expand our services to members – and Align helped us create new programs. Getting to use the entire Align Team means WEDA benefits from all the talents at Align."
Anja Bendel, Vice President, LEADS, Inc
2016 President of the Board, Wyoming Economic Development Association (WEDA)
WY Quality Counts' mission is to raise awareness about why quality child care matters for Wyoming children, their families and the future. Housed within the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, the program partners with Align to provide educational opportunities for childcare providers. Classes online and around the state help providers with business practices and the importance of quality early education.
"Carpet One Floor & Home – Commercial Flooring provides interior design and a variety of other accessories for the home or business and has three offices located in Cheyenne, Laramie and Casper, Wyoming. As we have been growing and changing we realized we needed some support of an outside consulting group that could provide the services we felt we were missing. We were introduced to the Align team of professionals and were convinced immediately we could benefit by aligning with them. One of the first services we took advantage of was an employee survey to let us know what our team members thought of our organization. With the results provided we evaluated ourselves and determined some of our strengths and weaknesses and were able to discuss other services provided by Align that we could use to help strengthen our team. We have been able to take advantage of and consult with them regarding human resource issues, team building, and corporate structure issues. We have benefited and enjoyed the strength we have been able to gain with our relationship with Align. "
– Doug Finch, President of Carpet One Floor & Home
United Way of Laramie County addresses the needs of the people in the community. The organization works to build a better community creating partnerships and collaborations to make the greatest possible impact. Focusing on groups of people most in need they make a difference in the community.
"Here at United Way of Laramie County, we go to Align for all of our planning sessions. We also partner with them to provide services for our program partners. Our Board holds a retreat every year. Mona has led our group through many changes. Our Board trusts Mona because the folks at Align get to know us before they plan a session or recommend any action. She doesn't let the tough issues slide by. She finds a way to get us through those conversations we need to have to be a better organization and move forward; all the while keeping it fun and engaging everyone in the group! The people at Align are why we keep going back to work with them again and again."
– Connie Sloan Cathcart, Executive Director of United Way of Laramie County
High West Energy is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative that is headquartered in Pine Bluffs. The cooperative provides safe, reliable and competitively priced energy and services focusing on the needs of the membership. High West serves parts of southeast Wyoming, Nebraska and northern Colorado.
"Align has assisted High West Energy in a few different ways. First, they helped our management team identify issues affecting the organization. This was done very professionally and in a way that created a safe environment for our staff, some of whom began the process somewhat skeptical of where things were heading. Align also helped us work through some generational differences that arose due to having four generations in our workplace. And lastly, Align helped with a process mapping project associated with creating two new services. All three interactions were well done and the benefits are still accruing."
– Brian Heithoff, General Manager at High West Energy
The Wyoming Association of Municipalities speaks for the 99 incorporated cities and towns in the state. The board of directors is comprised of 24 mayors, council people, city administrators and city clerks. The organization offers resources, peer networking and information to help each community serve its citizens. Align worked with WAM in 2014 to build a strategic plan.
"Boards who have worked together for a long time often see retreats as 'fluffy stuff.' They often want to get quickly to the TO DO list so that they can feel satisfied that they've accomplished something. It takes solid planning and a skilled facilitator to work with a board the size of WAM's, which is made up of highly functioning and decisive individuals who are the leaders of their communities. To be honest, I had some doubts about the success of the strategic planning session because I was unsure how the board would respond, but trusted Phil's expertise. He and I worked together prior to the meeting to identify the challenges, the elephants in the room, and ultimately what I need to get out of the meeting in order to be successful at my new position.
The retreat was a 2-day session held in Powell. The board was engaged and committed the whole time. Phil pushed the group's assumptions and guided them to goal setting. Additionally, he had numerous effective group activities that ended with clear outcomes. This board had not had a retreat in more than five years, and with the change at the director position they were ready to talk about expectations and execution. They were delighted with Phil's participation and guidance, and very pleased with the final report.
This was by far the best retreat experience I have ever had, and I eagerly and sincerely encourage other organizations to use Align for their organizational needs."
"Align did a great job of facilitating our strategic planning session. They were professional, organized, and brought clarity to our organization. I would highly recommend them and their team!"
Ashley Harpstrieth, Executive Director at Goshen County Economic Development

Chapter 9 The New Deal
Chapter 8
Understand these terms:
Understand these terms:
Understand these terms:
When your neighbor loses his job, it's a recession.
When you lose your job, it's a depression.
Let's examine the statistics behind the Great Depression…
With which statement do you most agree?
Section 1
Our objective:
Until September 1929, the stock market continued to rise.
Many people borrowed money to buy stock, assuming prices would continue to go up.
Some economists feared that stocks were over-priced.
Speculation– when investors gamble that stock prices will rise
On October 29th, the stock market went into a free fall as investors tried to sell at any price.
16 million shares were sold on "Black Tuesday."
Billions of dollars were lost in a few hours.
Many who bought stocks on margin were wiped out.
The Great Crash was a hallmark of the nation's business cycle. The economy periodically grows and then
The stock market crash didn't start the Great Depression by itself. Instead, it quickened the collapse of the U.S. economy.
Was the stock market crash really a psychological blow Americas which caused a catastrophic loss of confidence
"The administration did not publicly address the market devaluation until several days (6) after the event, while Hoover held steadfast to the notion that economic laws and a conservative fiscal philosophy would allow the economy to self-correct."
America enters of desperate economic period unmatched in its severity
Connection existed between stock market crash and banks
The banking system feels the effects of the crash first.People fear that their money will be lost so they run to the bank and attempt to withdraw their funds.
But banks don't have enough of their money on hand as cash. These bank runs cause banks to fail.
The resulting drop in world trade only made the glut of American factory and farm products harder to sell.Tariffs Add to the Woes
Congress passed the Hawley-Smoot Tariff to protect American manufacturers from foreign competition.
As international trade falls, a global drop in business leads to a worldwide depression.
There were several causes of the Great Depression. There is still disagreement over which are most important.
hardships in Europe and rural America
uneven distribution of wealth
speculation in the stock market
increased personal debt
Section 2
Our objective:
How did the Great Depression affect the lives of urban and rural Americans?
The stock market crash signaled the end of boom times and the economy staggered into the Great Depression. Desperate poverty gripped the nation leaving a permanent impression on those who lived through it.
Tested by extreme hardship, this generation forged a strong character and will to restore prosperity.
Between 1921–1929, the unemployment rate never rose above 4%. By 1933, however, it was near 25%.
Those who managed to keep their jobs had their wages and hours cut.
Few Americans understood the causes of the Great Depression, but everyone felt the impact.
For many, the only food available came from public soup kitchens or bread lines run by charitable organizations.
People sold their property to buy food.
The homeless lived in empty railroad cars, in cardboard boxes, or in shacks built on public land or empty lots.
Hoovervilles appeared in major cities across the country.
Bankers sold the land and equipment at auction. Some farmers became tenant farmers, working for bigger landowners. Others decided to leave in search of work elsewhere in the U.S.
Between 1930 and 1934, nearly a million farmers lost their farms, homes, and farm equipment because they could not pay their mortgages.
Millions of tons of topsoil were blown away in giant dust storms.
The remaining farmers on the Great Plains suffered a terrible drought, which led to the Dust Bowl.
Dust storms destroyed millions of acres of farmland.
The Great Plains Becomes a Dust Bowl
Black Sunday
Colorado, 1937

In old trucks, they moved west or to northern cities. 800,000 Okiesleft Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas alone. Rural states lost population during the 1930s.
Those who could afford it bought distressed neighbors' farms at low prices to build expanded commercial farms.
Farmers who had lost their land, called Okies regardless of where they were from, were forced to leave.
Family life was hurt by the Great Depression.
Those who still had jobs lived in fear that their next paycheck would be their last.
Those who were still working felt guilty because friends and relatives were unemployed.
America's birthrate fell to its lowest level on record.
Some teens ran away and families broke up.
Minorities suffered even more during the depression.
Section 3
Our objective:
Herbert Hoover did not cause the Great Depression, but Americans looked to him to solve the crisis.
He tried a number of different approaches, but in the end hefailed to discover the right formula for stopping the crisis.
Hoover was not alone in preferring not to intervene in the economy
Self correction by the economy was often seen in past economic crisis and panics and was inherent in the business cycle
Even today, the economic "facts on the ground" often move faster that policy makers can identify and understand them.
Hoover saw that he must do something:
Asked businesses to keep wages, employment, and prices at current levels
Called for tax cuts, lower interest rates, and public works
Asked wealthy to donate more money to charity
Hoover's actions under idea of volunteerism assumed people would act together, for the benefit of all, and rationally.
But volunteerism failed:
Hoover put his faith in localism,a policy whereby problems are best solved at the local and state levels.
The RFC gave billions of dollars to banks and large businesses.
The idea was that they would lend to, and invest in, struggling businesses who would hire workers and thus end the depression.
In 1932, Hoover urged Congress to create the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC). The RFC employed a policy known as trickle down economics.
One policy that did succeed was the construction of Boulder Dam (later renamed Hoover Dam) across the Colorado River.
Started in 1930, the huge dam provided power for millions and irrigation for farm land, and put thousands to work.
Public soon saw Hoover as unfeeling and unsympathetic to their plight
Capitalism itself was attacked as a dying system at the cause of the depression
Many grew disillusioned during the Great Depression.
Hoover ordered General Douglas MacArthurto remove the veterans. He used tear gas, cavalry, tanks, and troops with fixed bayonets.
Press photos of troops using excessive force angered the American public.
20,000 veterans set up camps and occupied vacant buildings. In July, police tried to evict them and riots erupted.
The eviction of the Bonus Army doomed Hoover's bid for re-election.
Americans were ready for new leadership and a greater role for the government in solving problems.
Why did Herbert Hoover's policies fail to solve the country's economic crisis?
As the Great Depression spread misery across America, Herbert Hoover struggled unsuccessfully to respond to the nation's problems.
As a result of Hoover's failed response, in 1932 Americans would turn to a new leader and increased government intervention to stop the depression.

text: The title of this post is not just a rock song but a present reality in the churches….for there is a massive, widespread deception going on and MANY are being led astray to their destruction….the destruction of the flesh. If these days should not be shortened, there should be NO FLESH SAVED. Matthew 24:22-25 KJV (22) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. (23) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. (24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (25) Behold, I have told you before. False prophets lead us astray from having love for one another and lead us into denominations of envying and strife which are motivated by the covetousness of men (the abomination of desolation) hidden by the flattering tongue…Babylon. She is responsible for all the "slain" of the earth. We are to have love for one another….which is fulfilling the Law and the Prophets…. Matthew 7:12-15 KJV (12) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. For those who do not do fulfill His commandments are easily led astray by false prophets to the destruction of the flesh so that their spirits may be saved. (13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: (14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, for they do pose as ministers of righteousness but inwardly they are ravening wolves and YOU are their prey as they seek to deceive you with their good words and fair speeches. This is widespread in every gathering. (15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. They prevent the LIFE of Jesus from being MANIFESTED in our flesh by removing the "daily" sacrifice from us so that we do not bear about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus. Jesus died for our sins because He loved us and we are to show this sacrifice always by having love for one another….the daily. In doing this, the LIFE OF JESUS shall be made MANIFEST in our mortal flesh. 2 Corinthians 4:10-11 KJV (10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. The false prophets prevent the Son of man from being manifested in the flesh of His people because of deceptive words that are motivated by hidden covetousness. They are deceivers and antichrists for they do not confess that Jesus is come in the flesh. The Son of man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Why seek the living among the "dead"? We must depart from them….as He is not in their presence. We must arise and go….for the betrayer is at hand. We must awake and cast off the works of darkness for our salvation is nearer than what we were led to believe. Salvation is NOW. Luke 24:5-7 KJV (5) And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? (6) He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, (7) Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners….for they prevent His life from appearing in our mortal flesh by their deceptive words and teachings. He that betrays Him is at hand. They come with a "kiss"….flattering lips…the kiss of death…but they also come with their swords and staves. They come with a tongue that is like a sword and will slay anyone who will listen to them. Let us NOT SLEEP but AWAKE up to His righteousness. RISE UP AND LET US GO. Mark 14:41-46 KJV (41) And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (42) Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. (43) And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. (44) And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. (45) And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. (46) And they laid their hands on him, and took him. The flattering lips of religious-sounding men are the "strange woman" that we are to avoid. They come forth to diligently seek us out. They come to catch us and "kiss" us….all the while hiding the covetousness in their hearts. Proverbs 7:13-15 KJV (13) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, (14) I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. (15) Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. The deceiver does not confess that Jesus is come in the flesh. No, they say "he is not at home, he is gone on a long journey". Your reward will not come until the appointed day. But His salvation IS NOW…NOW…NOW! We are the body of Jesus and His life is to appear in our mortal flesh TODAY. Proverbs 7:19-27 KJV (19) For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: (20) He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. With good words and fair speeches do they deceive the simple. (21) With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. But the simple do not know that to join along with them is to be led astray to their own destruction…..destruction of the flesh. (22) He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; (23) Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. (24) Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. (25) Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. (26) For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. The way to the grave is WIDE and MANY go down there because of the flattering speeches of deceptive men. (27) Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. We are to REMOVE our way FAR from "her". Why give your honor unto others and your years unto the cruel. It is only for your destruction is the end result of joining along with them….for the flesh and the body are consumed as we sit with them. Proverbs 5:7-13 KJV (7) Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. (8) Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: (9) Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: (10) Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; (11) And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, (12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; (13) And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! We can not sit with those who call themselves "brothers" but are covetous. We can not sit together with them for we are then ONE IN FLESH with them. They perish, we perish. 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 KJV (15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. (17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee the "fornication"…for men are using their mouths for it as they use they employ the tongue (Babylon) for deception in order to become rich instead of worshipping God in truth and spirit. Our mortal body is the temple of God. We are the body of Christ. So we must come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing….covetousness. They are an unclean "dead" body and we are not to be attached to it. (18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. The "daily" is to WALK IN LOVE as Christ also has loved us and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God. THE DAILY SACRIFICE. False prophets want to remove you from walking in love. They want to remove that daily sacrifice so that the LIFE of Jesus does not appear in our flesh. Ephesians 5:1-11 KJV (1) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; (2) And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Now we see the "abomination of desolation" here: COVETOUSNESS. It should not be once named among us. It should not be standing in the holy place. (3) But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; (4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. We can no longer be partakers with them in their idolatry worship sacrificing things to devils. We shall perish by sitting with them and shall not see the coming age for there is no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God for an idolater. (5) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. (6) Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (7) Be not ye therefore partakers with them. We are to come out from among them to hold forth the Word of life with an age-lasting life which He has promised us. (8) For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (9) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth) (10) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. (11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Unanswered: Online redo log issue after ASM to UFS clone
Hi Guys.
I'm cloning a DB out of ASM and into UFS. I end up with a mounted DB .. and all the datafiles and tempfile and archive logs are on UFS. However when I try to restore the DB and then open it (using resetlogs option) it bombs out:
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Process ID: 7814
Session ID: 85 Serial number: 9
When I check the alert log and trace files it's clear that the DB still has it's online redo logs set to an ASM location .. hence the problem.
The db_create_online_log_dest_1,2,3 init.ora parameters have been modified previously so I don't know why the new redo is being written to an ASM disk location.
Any ideas?

Managed to get around it by using the 'alter database rename file' cmd on each redo log. Not sure if it's the only or best way.

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:

'Reverse engineering' is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation, often by taking it apart and analyzing its workings in detail. This approach is a common practice among industrial companies who use it to analyze the competition's products, be it cars or MP3 players, to understand where the latest product improvements come from and how individual components are made. An increasing number of scientists apply a similar approach to nature's own 'micro- and nanotechnology' systems. They believe that learning from nature's designs and engineering successes is more likely to provide the cues for designing practical nanodevices than by simply applying a 'trial and error' approach. The basic idea is that natural materials and systems can be adopted for human use beyond their original purpose in nature. Some examples of 'reverse' biophysics work and have already proven quite useful, for instance the use of individual red blood cells as reliable, ultrasensitive mechanotransducers.Posted: May 22nd, 2008
Nanotechnology researchers have appropriated the name of Janus - the Roman god of gates and doorways, usually depicted with two heads looking in opposite directions - to name a class of amphiphilic (i.e. containing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions) nanoparticles composed of two fused hemispheres, each made from a different substance. Their particular structure makes Janus particles an intriguing subject for exploring novel anti-cancer therapies where they, for instance, carry two different and complementary medicines. In a novel use of Janus particles, researchers have now isolated a means of using them to make 're-sealable' pores in lipid bilayer membranes. Described in another way, the localization of the nanoparticles in the pore can be thought of as the placement of a zipper, which allows a specific slit to be opened or closed at will.Posted: May 21st, 2008
High content analysis (HCA) is a powerful platform that combines cell-based assays with traditional microscopy and automated, sophisticated image processing and analysis software. This technology is capable of using living and fixed cells, typically with fluorescently labeled antibodies and reagents. It has been widely adopted in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for target identification and validation. HCA has made particular inroads into research and development applications where high throughput screening has proven inadequate, such as measuring multiple biological pathways simultaneously, or revealing off-target drug effects. HCA has stepped into this void by demonstrating how particular proteins are affected by the application of a molecule to the cell line of interest.Posted: May 20th, 2008
Synthesized carbon nanotubes, especially single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), are in the form of bundles with other impurities such as catalyst particles and amorphous carbon debris. In order to be useful for many types of applications, for instance in nanoelectronic devices or biomedical applications, SWCNTs need to be purified and dispersed into individual nanotubes. One method to do this is by surfactant stabilization of the hydrophobic nanotube surface, which overcomes the van der Waals forces among the nanotubes and results in suspensions of individual SWCNTs. Researchers have now investigated the cytotoxicity of SWCNTs suspended in various surfactants. Their experimental results show that the conjugates SDS/CNT and SDBS/CNT are toxic to astrocytoma cells due solely to the toxicity of the SDS and SDBS molecules, which administered alone are toxic to the cells even at a low concentration of 0.05 mg per ml within 30 min. However, the proliferation and viability of the astrocytoma cells were not affected by SWCNTs and the conjugates SC/CNT and DNA/CNT.Posted: May 19th, 2008
Most people in the world know exactly how long a kilometer is, how large a liter is, how much a kilogram weighs, and how warm 25C is. That's because almost all countries in the world have adopted a standard called the metric system - since the 1960s the International System of Units has been the internationally recognized standard system for measurements (only three countries have not adopted this standard: Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States - the latter maybe because the metric system was invented by the French...). The need for standardization also exists in various fields of nanotechnology in order to support commercialization and market development, provide a basis for procurement, and support appropriate legislation/regulation. When it comes to nanotechnology, numerous standard setting organizations around the world are active in defining nanotechnology standards, although no one standard has achieved dominance yet.Posted: May 16th, 2008
The phenomenon behind many color-based biosensor applications is the excitation of surface plasmons by light - called surface plasmon resonance for planar surfaces or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) for nanoscale metallic structures. Surface plasmon resonance of metallic nanoparticles, in particular gold, has become a popular nanotechnology-enabled technique to build increasingly sensitive and fast biosensors. All the nanostructures used for the biosensing applications have two characteristics: Firstly, they contain certain recognition mechanisms specified to the analyte, for example antibodies or enzymes. Secondly, they are able to generate a distinguishing signal from the analyte and this signal could be generated by the nanostructures themselves or produced by signaling molecules immobilized or contained in the nanostructures. However, proper functionalization remains an issue when it comes to real-world applications, in particular, biological relevant samples such as membrane associated proteins and peptides.Posted: May 15th, 2008
For a decade, researchers and industry professionals have been warning that the limits of silicon were quickly being approached. According to some, these limits have, effectively, already been reached. The age of the integrated microchip circuit - fabricated out of silicon - may be drawing to a close. But, is there any technology ready to fill the void? Is there any technology that could make circuits smaller or more powerful? They answer to this may very well be 'yes.' Although silicon holds numerous properties that make it a rather ideal conductor of electricity under certain conditions, it lacks one crucial characteristic, which may end-up making carbon the material of the future: The ability to form complex, tubular arrays on the scale of only a few nanometers. The age of the integrated nanochip circuit - made-up of composite carbon nanotubes - may have arrived.Posted: May 14th, 2008
Fuel cells have gained a lot of attention because they provide a potential solution to our addiction to fossil fuels. Energy production from oil, coal and gas is an extremely polluting, not to mention wasteful, process that consists of heat extraction from fuel by burning it, conversion of that heat to mechanical energy, and transformation of that mechanical energy into electrical energy. In contrast, fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert a fuel's chemical energy directly to electrical energy with high efficiency and without combustion (although fuel cells operate similar to batteries, an important difference is that batteries store energy, while fuel cells can produce electricity continuously as long as fuel and air are supplied). Modern fuel cells have the potential to revolutionize transportation. One of the leading fuel cell technologies developed in particular for transportation applications is the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, also known as polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells - both resulting in the same acronym PEMFCPosted: May 13th, 2008

Join us as we hike the 3 Northern Presidential mountains of the White Mountains. We will hit three 4K ft peaks, practice yoga each day, and stay in one of AMC's 100 year old full service huts!
Madison Spring hut sits above the treeline at the northern end of the Presidential Range and overlooks the sheer walls of Madison Gulf. Hike a moderate 3.8 miles to spectacular views of the Presidential, Kilkenny, and Pilot Ranges. For a closer-in feel, jog over to nearby Star Lake and marvel at the fragile alpine flora unique to this little corner of the world.
First built in 1888, Madison Spring Hut has been newly rebuilt and greets hikers with wide, open views and comfortable bunks. Its heritage as AMC's first high mountain hut is honored by the fantastic croo that serves up hearty meals and offers helpful information about the surrounding trails, geology, and plant life.
No tent or camping equipment necessary. The huts offer hikers of all levels a fantastic entry point into backcountry travel. No camping experience required! Bunk bed accommodations allow you to leave your bulky sleeping bag at home. Enjoy in-season home-cooked breakfast and dinner, cold running water and composting or waterless toilets.
We will be hiking an out and back loop. The first day we will summit Mount Madison and stay in the Madison Spring Hut. The next day we will wake up eat breakfast and summit Mount Adams & Jefferson to complete the loop that will bring us back to our accent down to the parking lot.
Day 1 Mount Madison Elevation: 5,367 feet
(This peak is optional)
Day 2 Mount Adams Elevation: 5,794 feet
Day 2 Mount Jefferson Elevation: 5,712 feet
Yoga & Meditation (tailored to weather conditions)
High Mountain Hut Lodging (hostel style)
