Changes in the Earth's environment are now sufficiently complex that our ability to forecast the emergent ecological consequences of ocean acidification (OA) is limited. Such projections are challenging because the effects of OA may be enhanced, reduced or even reversed by other environmental stressors or interactions among species. Despite an increasing emphasis on multifactor and multispecies studies in global change biology, our ability to forecast outcomes at higher levels of organization remains low. Much of our failure lies in a poor mechanistic understanding of nonlinear responses, a lack of specificity regarding the levels of organization at which interactions can arise, and an incomplete appreciation for linkages across these levels. To move forward, we need to fully embrace interactions. Mechanistic studies on physiological processes and individual performance in response to OA must be complemented by work on population and community dynamics. We must also increase our understanding of how linkages and feedback among multiple environmental stressors and levels of organization can generate nonlinear responses to OA. This will not be a simple undertaking, but advances are of the utmost importance as we attempt to mitigate the effects of ongoing global change.
1. Introduction
Environmental change, which encompasses a wide range of physical and chemical changes, is outpacing our ability to forecast its consequences. Several issues limit our understanding of the emergent effects of these changes. First, CO2-driven environmental change comprises a suite of stressors with different and sometimes opposing patterns of occurrence and effects on species. Interactions between OA and other environmental stressors, defined here as natural or anthropogenic pressures that cause measureable biological responses, both positive or negative [1], can determine species responses [2,3]. Context is critical for forecasting the ecological effects of OA, and studies spanning a wide range of conditions are crucial to accurately interpret experiments. Second, the combined effects of multiple stressors on individual species will be mediated by the interactions with other species in an ecosystem [4]. Thus, studies are needed in diverse, functioning ecosystems that incorporate species interactions and compensatory dynamics.
Interactions among multiple environmental stressors, where the ecological effect of one is dependent on the magnitude of another, are very common across ecosystems [5–7]. These interactions can lead to non-additive outcomes, where the combined effects are more or less than expected (synergistic or antagonistic, respectively) compared with an additive or multiplicative model. However, our ability to predict interaction outcomes is very limited [6,8]. Several recent reviews highlight the need for a more mechanistic understanding of the physiological responses to OA and multiple stressors [9] and suggest a framework for scaling up these physiological effects to ecosystems [10,11]. Here, we expand that perspective to discuss how the underlying causes of non-additive outcomes of OA and other stressors may be due to interactions at or among several levels of organization (figure 1).
2. Interactions within the environmental milieu
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing a wide range of physical and chemical changes both on land and sea that interact [13]. For example, temperature influences seawater carbonate chemistry, such that warming will affect OA by decreasing CO2 solubility and affecting the dissociation coefficients of the carbonate system, leading to higher saturation states given the same CO2 concentration [14]. Environmental change is also likely to affect other physical and chemical factors associated with organismal performance. For example, the biological availability of heavy metals in the environment is enhanced by a reduction in pH, which increases the toxicity of these contaminants [12]. In cases such as these, researchers must ensure that OA effects are examined at appropriate levels of potentially interacting factors [15] and recognize that the ecological effects of OA may vary spatially and temporally, resulting in a mosaic of effects due to overlapping and interacting factors [3].
3. Interactions within an organism
At the physiological level, changes in an environmental stressor may exert selective pressure on traits that increase susceptibility or tolerance to a second stressor, such as OA [16]. The combined effect is in part due to whether both stressors stimulate or impair similar or different physiological pathways. For example, a stressor can increase susceptibility if it impairs a pathway that is critical in mounting a response to a second stressor (e.g. low oxygen levels preventing organisms from mounting a heat shock response to warming [17]). By contrast, a stressor can increase tolerance if it activates a pathway that is used in response to a second stressor [18]. For example, exposure to elevated temperature can prepare an organism to elicit a stress response to low oxygen [19]. In all of these scenarios, the history of exposure to the different stressors can further define the outcomes [9].
One simplified way to envision nonlinear outcomes of multiple stressors is to consider each stressor as having a threshold beyond which performance is inhibited, but the position of this threshold is dependent on the level of additional, interacting factors [20], such as OA lowering species' upper thermal lethal limits [21] (figure 1a). Elucidating the energy budgets for species of concern may provide a framework for incorporating the effects of interactions among multiple stressors. For example, a non-additive outcome of exposure to multiple stressors may arise when energy expended via maintenance metabolism exceeds energy gained through photosynthesis or consumption, creating a tipping point beyond which exposure results in death [20].
4. Threshold dynamics in populations
At the population level, non-additive outcomes could arise through the additive accumulation of effects on physiological processes when the cumulative effect crosses a demographic tipping point. For example, even a small, additive effect of a second stressor could cause population growth rate to switch from positive to negative (figure 1b). If sustained, the consequences of such combined effects may result in local extinction when the drivers co-occur (figure 1c). Thus, additivity at one level of organization does not preclude non-additivity at another.
5. Interactions within a community
Environmentally mediated changes in per capita interaction strength of species with strong influence on the community, including keystone species [22] or ecosystem engineers [23], can also have cascading effects on the abundance of other species. Even small increases in the abundance or per capita effects of competitors and consumers that nudge population growth rates of a focal species downwards could cause non-additive outcomes in response to OA if the population is pushed past key demographic thresholds (figure 1d, left). By contrast, increased resource availability (and the concomitant reduction in competition) or increased facilitation via habitat provision can increase population growth rates, potentially pushing the population past the threshold from negative to positive growth (figure 1d, right). Thus, non-additive effects of multiple stressors can arise in populations in a community setting due to interactions with other species, even when/if multiple stressors combine additively for the organism or population alone (figure 1d). While the mechanisms underlying community responses to OA and multiple stressors can be ecological in nature, these effects primarily stem from physiological changes of the constituent species.
Intra- or interspecies differences in responses to multiple stressors can also lead to non-additive outcomes in ecosystem function depending on whether species' tolerance or adaptive ability covaries [16]. If functional redundancy is low or many functionally similar species have similar responses to OA, then the effects on the ecosystem may be much greater than expected based on population-level responses of single species. Exposure to multiple stressors could increase the probability of non-additive changes in ecosystem function even among communities with high variability in tolerance or adaptive ability among species to single drivers, due to the probability that more species within the community are likely to be affected as the number of stressors increases.
6. Moving forward
At the physiological level, a better understanding of the functional responses to single stressors, such as OA, is critical for building the theoretical framework necessary to forecast the combined effects of multiple stressors. Energy allocation concepts, commonly used to describe responses to temperatures [24], will be useful to assess the costs of physiological and adaptive responses and can provide important guidance for OA [25]. These theoretical frameworks can then inform population-level studies regarding the combined effects of multiple stressors on energy budgets and vital rates governing population dynamics. At the community level, long-term manipulative field experiments that incorporate natural variation in other environmental factors through time, as well as organismal acclimation or adaptation, may provide unparalleled insight into the emergent effects of ocean change. Long-term experiments in terrestrial grasslands can provide important guidance here [26]. Moreover, coordinated manipulative OA experiments that span a range of environmental conditions will be critical for understanding generalities in ecosystem responses [27]. In marine ecosystems, natural analogue systems, such as CO2 vents, could be especially useful to cross with other stressors. In all of these approaches, a focus on organismal traits or ecosystem responses that allow comparisons across levels of biological organization can reduce the likelihood of ecological surprises and improve the practical application of global change biology to conservation and management.

Code:Dallas Cowboys AT Philadelphia Eagles.11/19/2017 8:25 PM ESTAT&T Stadium

Alright, let's just get this game thread started so we can discuss this game and move on from the debacle in Atlanta.
I think the game this week is absolutely huge for the Cowboys chances to make the playoffs, and it also is huge for the division obviously as well. If the Eagles win, they'll have a 4 game lead in the division with 6 to go. It'd take a huge meltdown for them. If we win, they it's only a 2 game lead with 6 to go and a manageable situation, especially with another game against them left.
For the wild card, this game is also super important since the Panthers are now at 7-3 and there are a bunch of other teams clustered at 6-3, 5-4, and 4-5. We need to win to keep pace with others and hopefully overtake others. Richard Sherman is out for the year and maybe Seattle will struggle a bit defensively without him. We will see.
In terms of this game, we have to pray that Tyron Smith is ready to return from his groin injury. If he isn't then we have to pray that our coaches get their act together and implement a scheme to help Green or Bell out a lot more than they did against Atlanta. The defensive line of the Eagles is a lot better than the one the Falcons had. So, they need to use Hanna a lot more to help out on the left side if Smith is out again IMO. The other big injury concern is Sean Lee, but he's already out for the next 2 games it seems. So we've gotta rely on Durant coming in and playing well. Jaylon Smith is solid against the run but can't cover at all just yet.
I think this is a winnable game. Dak is going to go out there and prove to everyone he is a beast. There are absurd things being said about him it's really pretty comical given that he had no chance to do anything against Atlanta with the horrible line play. Hitchens will need to keep our defense going in the absence of Lee. In particular, he needs to fill the holes in our run defense because without Lee we are terrible against the run. Awuzie will play this week so let's hope he can take a lot of Anthony Brown's snaps because he has been terrible.
In all, I think this will end up as a shootout. The coaching staff will provide help to the LT if Smith is out and Dez and Dak should be able to get things going if they have the time. The Eagles have a highly rated run defense but I think Morris gives us a solid game here too. I also think the Eagles have played a bit above their heads so far and they haven't faced an offense like ours (assuming Smith is back), so we need to take advantage of that. When they did play a top offense (the Chiefs), they lost. Let's look for the Cowboys to get back on track this week.
PREDICTION: Cowboys, 35-31.
Are we going to have Tyronn? Because without Sean Lee, our defense looks like swiss cheese.... and without Tyronn, we looked like the Alamo.
We need all those guys now.....not even sure if we'll still be in the race if we lose too many more games. These aren't just 3rd guys on the depth charge, they happen to be the best players on our teams on each unit. We probably should invest in an all star linebacker to go with Lee because he's always injured every year, so if he goes down we aren't so compromised. The way he plays, so aggressive, is just something that's going to get you hurt.

Im expecting another blowout if both Lee and Tyron sit.
If we have Tyron Smith I expect the game to be competitive I am not expecting a win... Sorry Eagles win... If Tyron Smith doesn't play it will be another blowout... Im already assuming we wont win the division so I am looking at wildcard scenarios... In that case this isn't a must win for the wildcard... We have winnable games against chargers,skins,giants,raiders and for the seahawks we get zeke back and we should already have lee back by then. If we beat those teams which we should we can go 11-5 or 10-6 to get a wildcard spot that is of course if the coaching staff does their job which I doubt in garrett. We have the talent, injuries are not an excuse, this will be all coaching in the upcoming games.
Completely agree^^^... If we somehow figure out a way to beat the Eagles without Tyronn Smith, Sean Lee, it changes everything about how I feel this season and the division would still be alive but if we lose which I expect the wildcard is realistic at 10-6.
Dak: 16 TDs and 4 INTs passing and another 5 TDs rushing. But, yeah, he's below average because of one game lol. I'm not saying that is your stance or anything, just annoyed with how others around the forum are portraying things and how those on ESPN and stuff are as well. The narrative is so stupid. The Cowboys have won 3 out of their last 4 games but because they didn't win 4 out of 4 games that's supposed to be absolute doom? I don't buy it.

Hello 2015
Yes, you heard me. I am indeed writing my first blog post of the year in February, and I'm not even sorry ... Happy New Year to you! Today is a very exciting day for me {and not just because of *all* the pancakes} today marks three years of Hello Harriet!
It always seems crazy to think back to one, two and now three years ago at how different things used to be and how much my little business has grown. Some highlights from this past year include selling at Renegade and my first ever Crafty Fox markets, having duper times meeting internet friends IRL, finally getting round to making some kitty dresses, getting a couple of jammy magazine features and taking the steps to gain a better work life balance by getting a dedicated studio space ... which we've actually now decided to move out of, but I'll save that for another post!
It's easy to forget the little achievements I've made along the way, so this year I've decided to keep a book of my mini milestones to look back on next year.
I won't get too soppy on you all, but I am genuinely so thankful for each and every one of you who have supported me through these amazing three years. Whether you've bought something I've made, sent me a lovely message, followed me, shared my work or simply liked a photo. It all means so much and I'm sending out virtual high fives to you all. February is also the business~birthday month for some of my fellow boss ladies, Rachel and Zoe. I am constantly inspired by the little online community of creatives I have been lucky enough to be part of, and I truly believe the internet is the best thing ever. I still can't quite believe I've managed to build a career around cats and cute things, but I'm certainly not complaining.
I still have lots to learn, and I'm plotting for 2015 to be my best year yet {obvs.} Without trying to sound too mysterious, 'I have lots of exciting things planned' which include blog posts, courses, organising and getting batter at ... stuff. Probably my main goal for this next year of being a super boss lady, is to adopt the 'do it now, so my future self will thank me' approach with, like, everything. I am totally guilty of letting things build up and then not wanting to face the mountain I have made for myself *cough* emails *cough*. So with any luck next year I'll be a little better at some of these things! We'll see.
I'm still catching up from the madness that ensued over Christmas, but I have a very busy few weeks ahead of me. There are some new products in the pipeline, and we are moving out of our studio next week and into our new house in March so I will be spending my spare time until then packing boxes. Then soon after, we will have a {furry} new arrival in the Waller Gray household {!!!!!!!} So I will basically be using all my energy trying to contain my excitement and resist buying all manner of insane and hilarious cat accessories.
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for some super prizes that will be up for grabs this weekend to celebrate Hello Harriet turning 3!

In true Trump fashion, the president lost his spine when confronted by another one of his adversaries.
We saw a glimpse of this side of Trump when he visited Mexico and "forgot" to talk about the wall he promises to build. This time, his cowardly behavior was in China.
Since he announced his presidency, Donald Trump has been very vocal about his distaste for China. However, during his state visit to China this week, President Trump refused to uphold U.S Norms or show his self-proclaimed strength. He did this by not responding to reporters questions in a nation that punishes journalists.
The People's Republic of China is a communist nation. So, though China itself is an economic superpower, it's citizens are nevertheless subject to restrictions that would be unheard of in the western world. Restrictions such as limited social media access (or access to the internet in general) and a limited press.
China notoriously rejects questions from American reporters during state visits. But, usually, American presidents insist on allowing reporters to ask questions. Because we, as Americans, see the extreme value in freedom of speech and press. As CNN's Jake Tapper recounted: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and even George Bush made it a point to answer reporters questions during their state visits:
Trump seems to have forgotten this very basic civics lesson because he did not insist on Free Press while in China. In fact, he gave in to the Chinese government's rule with seemingly no protest.
When asked about this, White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said: "It was at the Chinese insistence that there were no questions today". Because the American government apparently abandons American ideals while on foreign soil. This is supposedly the new norm.
With this incident in mind, it's almost no surprise that a year after his election, Donald Trump has not fulfilled virtually any aspect of his campaign platform. Not immigration reform, not tax reform, not securing funds for the wall, not trade deal renegotiations and, apparently, not even promoting a strong image for the United States.

I have been trying to lose weight since I lost you and I've been doing pretty good. I've lost about 40 lbs but I've kind of plateaued. I've been the same weight now for about two months. No changes and no gaining. I guess that's good but I'd much rather be losing the pounds.I am in the process of getting a treadmill, it's just too hot to be outside walking and I feel like I would do better in my house.And I've also found a workout that I actually like doing: ZUMBA!!! Who would have thought that it would be something that I actually like. I've been using the Wii but yesterday I purchased some Zumba DVD's and I can't wait until they come in. I want to be here to watch your sisters grow up.
I'm going to continue working on losing weight. I do feel so much better since I've lost what I lost. I can really feel the difference and it makes me feel so good. I want to be someone you can be proud of. I love you Cylas and think about you every day!!! You are my sweet boy!!!!
You are my Sunshine

12/17/17: S&M Studios took another step of improvement with the addition of new acoustic treatment to the entire studio. Both Studio A and Studio B have been overhauled as well as the control room and the difference in the acoustic response is staggering. In addition to the acoustic treatment, the studio has added a new major microphone to it's mic selection - the RCA DX-77 ribbon microphone has been an industry standard for recording and broadcasting for over 6 decades. It makes vocals smooth and sweet, and it is also wonderful on drums and acoustic instruments. Also the control room has added a Presonus Faderport control surface which will speed up the recording process and make more time for creativity and performance. There are more changes planned for the studio in the coming months: adding another 8 tracks of simultaneous recording to bring the total number of tracks to 16, adding microphone signal boosters to enhance the quality of the signal to the I/O, adding an additional bass amp to Studio A, to name a few.

Love the new plans for our church and feel that it can and will provide a warm and welcoming open arms hub for the community of Bedale in the years to come. That is the "people task" and with the Grace of God sure we can do it
Splendid work by our architects and others! And oh, what joys to come from cosy heating and comfy seating! How blessed we are with money in hand, and yet more grants expected (total required £1,500,000).
This sort of reordering has been successful in other places, done well let's hope it can be at St Gregory's.
Trying to make the Church building more welcoming to encourage more people to come is a good idea but it isn't really the building that matters but what goes on in it. Along with the physical reordering we must have a reordering of all that we do.
I think all of these ideas will improve the church massively and would be very useful for future generations.
I understand the need to provide a more functioning building to cover costs. No one (especially me) likes change. It obviously will "ruin" old character of church – but if it can't fund itself it will end in ruin anyway. In the end we need a place to worship – it could be anywhere.
In conclusion Sandra and I fully support 100% the changes.
I thoroughly approve of the plans, maybe with a few adjustments which I'm sure everyone will have and I would be happy to back it all the way. However, I do wonder if it will make any difference to the life of our church, and our standing in the community. I can imagine a lot of people in the town will think it wonderful, but would they use the facilities and more to my hope, would they be encouraged to come and worship with us. Not until the next few years will we know. On talking to one of the Church Wardens at Pontefract, she said that the facilities were well used by the townspeople (the church is bang in the centre of the town) but one or two people had left the church, and maybe the same amount gained.
Greatly appreciate the time and effort and thought that has gone into these proposals. It is in sympathy with all the changes that have occurred over previous years and prepares the building for the future use of those who will continue to worship and serve in the community.

Is there stair lifts Medicare coverage?
Does Medicare pay for stair lifts for a person who lives in a 2 story townhouse and cannot, by herself, go up and down the stairs? Is there stair lifts Medicare coverage?
Expert Answer
Medicare Part B covers different types of portable medical equipment and supplies for use in the home, but it does not pay for construction or installation of permanent equipment. So, Medicare Part B can cover the type of lift that is used to help a patient get in and out of bed or a chair, but is not likely to cover the type of lift that could carry you up and down stairs. However, you should investigate other kinds of equipment available from medical equipment suppliers that might make it easier for you to get up and down stairs. The official Medicare web site offers a list of approved equipment suppliers for your area. Get in touch with two or three of them and ask whether they might have some kind of Medicare-covered equipment that could help you.
You should also consider asking your doctor for a referral to an occupational therapist, whose work includes helping people with mobility difficulties. The occupational therapist can help you learn how to more easily and safely navigate the stairs, and can recommend equipment that might be useful to you.
For Medicare to cover it, any equipment must be prescribed by your doctor and be provided by a supplier officially approved by Medicare. To find out more about Medicare coverage of durable medical equipment, look at Medicare's publication Medicare Coverage of Durable Medical Equipment and Other Devices.

The City Council has passed a regulation limiting the hours that street musicians can play here to 90 minutes at midday. It is an action that Victor Buttrom and Dishon Woody take personally, largely because they say they are the only musicians who regularly play on the city's streets.
The City Council acted Thursday to limit the hours that musicians could play outdoors to the lunchtime period of 11:30 A.M. to 1 P.M. The previous ordinance had said musicians could play 90-minute stretches at one location before moving on and that they could play until 10 P.M.
The Council acted in response to the complaints of 70 business people who said the jazz played by Mr. Buttrom on tenor saxophone and Mr. Woody on snare drums upset workers, even those in offices a dozen floors above the street.
''Their playing disrupted lawyers taking depositions, court reporters,'' said Christine Krebs, a lawyer who led the fight to limit playing hours. ''It disrupted business. Five or 10 minutes might be nice, but four hours a day? It begins to wear on you.'' A Charge of Bias
Mr. Buttrom, who plays professionally in Cincinnati and Chicago clubs, said he thought people were opposed because he is black and wears his hair in long dreadlocks.
''What we are hearing is prejudice,'' Mr. Buttrom told the City Council at an earlier hearing. ''What am I to do if somebody doesn't like the color of my skin or my hair? What am I to do if five people in a club do not like the song I am playing?''Continue reading the main story
''This is no club,'' said Steve Chabot, a City Councilman who unsuccessfully tried to restrict where street musicians can play. ''These are city streets.'' Mrs. Krebs denied that the criticism was racially motivated. ''It has nothing to do with who they are and what they look like,'' she said.
Mr. Buttrom said he did not know if he would remain in Cincinnati, because the regulation would cut into donations he received, which averaged $20 a day. #172 Signatures He and Mr. Woody passed a petition and in two days, he said, had 172 signatures supporting their music. ''We would have had more but we had a gig in Chicago,'' he said.
The musicians were on the street Thursday before the Council voted, playing mellower jazz than usual. Bill Cunliffe, a passerby who tossed a dollar in their collection case, said: ''Music adds to the quality of life here and people need to be more tolerant.''Continue reading the main story

Repeat after me. You can't test for your project customer. You can help them get through it, but you can't do it for them. In the business world, conflicts of interest can be a very bad thing...and a very costly thing. Results can get thrown out, work can have to be redone, and customers or project clients can lose all confidence in your ability to be impartial or objective if a conflict of interest comes to light.
Why then, is it so incredibly common that our project clients seem unprepared, unwilling, or uninterested in putting much if any effort into thoroughly testing the solutions we provide to them?
Well, since I'm opinionated, I definitely have my own thoughts on this. I believe it boils down to, primarily, one or more of three reasons:
All of these are valid responses and all are very wrong. No matter how you look at it and no matter how hard we may try to test objectively based on the original project client requirements, if we do the testing it's unquestionably a conflict of interest. And this conflict of interest will come back to haunt us in a very bad way if we ultimately deliver an end solution that the project client deems unacceptable or that misses the mark for the target end users.
So, how do we get around these customer issues? How do we get past their lack of interest, expertise, or availability? How do we put the onus for testing back on them so that we can be confident at the end of the day when they sign off on the project that they're happy with it and know what they're signing off on? How can we be sure that our neck is covered and they won't come back pointing the finger at us for a signed off and tested system that they are frustrated with.
Four key steps are what it takes. By incorporating the following four key steps or processes into the engagement we can better ensure that the customer WILL be involved in testing and our neck WILL be covered when they sign off on the system and pay us for our efforts. There's no guarantee of course – anyone can sue anyone, right? But at least following these steps will show due diligence and put the responsibility for testing and approving the system solidly into your project client's hands and not yours.
Get formal approval on the requirements. It all starts with proper requirements. And if you can't get great requirements out of the customer, at least get the best that you can and have them formally sign off on the requirements you jointly document so there's a mutual understanding going forward of what you're building – and also ultimately testing – against. Make sure that the formal signoff task is part of your project schedule and track it well.
Make test cases and test scenarios a customer deliverable to you. Tell your customer at kickoff time that the creation of test cases and test scenarios is their responsibility. Prepare them as early in the engagement as possible for this responsibility so that they're working on it. Leave them no excuses. Be sure to include it in the schedule and at the appropriate points in the project get status updates from them on it. Include it as tasks to cover in the status meetings and discussions that you have on the engagement. Be sure that they understand that this is solely their task to deliver on. You can help them along the way, but make your involvement as minimal as possible.
Be available for testing – but don't do it for them. Make yourself available to the project client during user acceptance testing, but be involved as little as possible. Think of yourself as more of an advisor – definitely not a participant. You don't want any appearance of subjectiveness or conflict of interest that could cause you problems later on.
Get formal UAT signoff. Finally, get a formal sign off from the project client following their acceptance of the testing process. This formal signoff is critical – it's basically just as important as the final signoff on the entire solution when the engagement is over. Documentation – especially when you're talking about approval documentation – is extremely important in consulting engagements.
Summary / call for input
No matter how well you want it to go...no matter how much you want things to go right...and no matter how easy you want to make it on your project customer who may be struggling – especially on tech projects – you can't do the testing for them. It won't end well. Help them prepare and walk them through it. That is what you can do.
Readers – tell us about your testing nightmares. Share any stories where you struggled with user acceptance testing and the concept of getting the customer to adequately test the solution you were turning over to them.

The Boker Nessmi 1674 has a premium S30V steel blade and Amboina Root Wood scales. Includes a leather belt sheath for comfortable carry and secure storage.
The Nessmi knife is a Jesper Voxnæs designed fixed blade that is based on the philosophy of George W. Sears (1821 - 1890), who wrote books and magazine articles about outdoor life under the pen name "Nessmuk" and advocated the use of lightweight outdoor tools. Like the typical Nessmuk knife it is rather handy and shows the typical, slightly elongated leaf blade shape. To honor this concept in a special way, Jesper Voxnaes has developed a particularly compact version of this Nessmuk knife that is ideal not only for outdoors and hunting, but also in everyday life.

Conventional cytotoxic therapies for synovial sarcoma provide limited benefit, and no drugs specifically targeting the causative SS18-SSX fusion oncoprotein are currently available. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition has been shown in previous studies to disrupt the synovial sarcoma oncoprotein complex, resulting in apoptosis. To understand the molecular effects of HDAC inhibition, RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis was undertaken in six human synovial sarcoma cell lines. HDAC inhibition induced pathways of cell cycle arrest, neuronal differentiation and response to oxygen-containing species, effects also observed in other cancers treated with this class of drugs. More specific to synovial sarcoma, polycomb-group targets were reactivated including tumor suppressor CDKN2A, and pro-apoptotic transcriptional patterns were induced. Functional analyses revealed that ROS-mediated FOXO activation and pro-apoptotic factors BIK, BIM and BMF were important to apoptosis induction following HDAC-inhibition in synovial sarcoma. HDAC-inhibitor pathway activation results in apoptosis and decreased tumor burden following a 7-day quisinostat treatment in the Ptenfl/fl;hSS2 mouse model of synovial sarcoma. This study provides mechanistic support for a particular susceptibility of synovial sarcoma to HDAC inhibition as a means of clinical treatment.

PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE Open to partners and non masonic guests
Monday 22nd October 2018 - Book your tickets now, Click Here
Thames Schools Lodge hopes to be the "Education Lodge" for the Province and is seeking members interested in education within and outside Freemasonry.
To promote this, a dinner was held on Saturday March 24that the splendid Leander Club. Forty people attended including John Clark, the new Buckinghamshire PGM and Graham Dearing, the new Buckinghamshire APGM at the event which was a great success. Masters and Masters Elect from lodges across the south of Buckinghamshire were in attendance to learn of the initiative and support their sister lodge.
After the dinner Bryan Wilson, the current WM gave an address highlighting our task in educating the World outside Freemasonry about who we are, what we stand for and our place in society. He made the following points in a well-received address to all attending:
Having had the long public support of successive kings, Freemasonry went underground during WWII because of the slaughter of Freemasons in Germany, Italy and Spain under Fascism and the potential threat to English Freemasonry. The threat from Fascism is long past, but hindsight tells us we kept our identities, aims and objectives under wraps far too long, generating suspicion and mistrust of Freemasonry in society. We are fixing that now, but there is still a great story we are not telling about our history
Although the Craft Degrees are expressed in early 19thCentury language, they are actually about education in three aspects of life, which are the backbone of our philosophy. Should we not find a way of explaining this to the World out there? Equally important is to educate our membership and the general public about our history. We have championed a liberal, democratic and above all, inclusive approach to life, for several centuries.
Freemasonry has always accepted Jews and the first official record of Muslim initiates was in 1736, in Paris. The UGLE Grand Master issued the first Warrant to an African American Lodge in 1784, 81 years before the abolition of slavery in the USA. For centuries we have done our best to protect minorities from persecution and accepted all men of good faith, whatever their status, culture or religion, treating all people with the same degree of courtesy and consideration. We should be very proud of this history and our philosophy! Is this not a model for society that we should be trying a little harder to tell people about?
If you are interested in this work, contact the Thames School Lodge secretary for further information.

One of the most common misconceptions about Freemasonry, and there are many such misconceptions, is that you have to be invited to join. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is a fabulous tasting soup and I will make it if having people over or going to theirs. Everyone wants the recipe so we are all onto a winner with this one!
SarahMadded 1976 days ago
Nice and quick to make and really tasty. While making the soup it doesn't quite look as though it would serve four people but looks are deceiving, it serves four average comfortably.

Sponge baths. For a sponge bath, select a safe, flat floor (equivalent to a changing desk, flooring, or counter) in a heat room. Fill a sink, if nearby, or bowl with warm (not hot!) water. Undress your child and wrap her or him in a towel. Wipe your toddler's eyes with a washcloth (or a clear cotton ball) dampened with water only, starting with one eye and wiping from the inner corner to the outer corner. Use a clear nook of the washcloth or another cotton ball to clean the other eye. Clean your baby's nose and ears with the damp washcloth. Then moist the fabric once more and, utilizing just a little soap, wash his or her face gently and pat it dry.
This explains the unspoken promise detectable between the strains of just about every baby manual: that this guide, this guru, might have the ability to turn the alien within the bassinet into one thing altogether less daunting and extra manageable, harking back to all those difficult-but-doable tasks you have handled at home or the workplace in the past. Generally this is little more than a matter of tone, as within the case of the bestselling parenting advice e book in history, What to Count on When You are Anticipating – which has 18.5m copies in print, and has spawned greater than 10 spin-off books and a mediocre 2012 romantic comedy starring Cameron Diaz. What to Count on tries to distract from the outlandishness of what's approaching via a relentlessly upbeat tone, characterised by compulsive wordplay that makes you worry for the authors' psychological health: With just weeks to go earlier than D-Day, have you come to phrases with your baby coming to time period?
Facebook sensations LadBaby have taken the web by storm with their genius cash-saving hacks and now they're prepared to indicate you the way you are able to do it too. Parenting for £1 and Other Baby Price range Hacks will not only allow you to dodge some of parenthood's biggest bills but preserve you smiling whilst you do it. From various Moses baskets to free nappy stations you possibly can pick up in your weekly shop; from delicate-play ball pits you may create at residence to a do-it-your self new child photograph shoot, no stone can be left unturned as they tackle babyland head on.
Enter a child store at your personal peril, because there are such a lot of insanely cute outfits on your little one. Whereas boys are banished to a tiny corner in the back, the rest of the store is stuffed with fluffy attire, sparkly footwear, and bows so far as the attention can see. Plus, folks like to gift infant woman clothing — meaning that you'll have to change her thrice a day with a purpose to get her in all those lovely garments whereas they still fit.

If you are traveling on a budget but you still want to try out some of the amazing restaurants Reykjavík has to offer I have a little tip for you today. Many restaurants in Reykjavík offer a lunch menu that is considerably cheaper than the dinner menu. I'm sure this is standard practice all over but sometimes when we travel we kind of forget all our budget tips and tricks from home and go for whatever is the most convenient at that time. But not you guys – you are clued in!
A few examples
At Rub 23 their most famous 14 piece sushi platter goes for 3.990 ISK at night but during lunch you get 14 pieces for 1.990 ISK. The lunch offers don't only apply to their sushi.
At Grillmarkaðurinn you can get a lamb T-bone steak for 2.990 ISK at lunch but at dinner the price is 4.790 ISK. The same goes for their grilled Monkfish which is 2.490 ISK during lunch but 4.690 ISK at night. Plus their delicious burgers are only on their lunch menu
Fiskfélagið has a pretty decent lunch menu but you can even splurge on a dessert because Blueberry mouse with bragðarefur icecream (yummy) costs only 990 ISK during lunch while you have to pay twice that price or 1.890 ISK at night.
As you can see, by eating your main meal at lunch and get something lighter at night you can cut your costs almost in half. Of course there might be some difference in portion sizes but anyone who's eaten a 14 piece sushi platter, at lunch or dinner, knows that you really don't need ALL of the pieces. Plus that if the portions are smaller you have extra room for half priced desserts.
If money is not an issue you can always use the money you saved on more delicious Icelandic beer. Like Einstök for example.

Initial projections by Allianz Research suggest that total global premium income rose to a new record high of 3,650 billion euros last year (excluding health insurance). In a year-on-year comparison, the nominal increase - after adjustments to reflect foreign currency translation effects - comes to an estimated 4.4 percent. This trend would appear to be fairly unspectacular at first glance: although the pace of growth is down slightly on the two previous years - when it was above the five percent mark - it is in line with both the long-term average and the rate of global economic growth. So can we describe 2016 as a normal year?
Not at second glance. Out of the 150 billion euros or so in additional premiums, almost 70 billion euros is attributable to one market alone: China. This means that the Middle Kingdom is responsible for close to half of last year's growth; without China, the insurance world would have achieved growth of only 2.7 percent.
The "China effect" was particularly pronounced in the life insurance business, where excluding the Chinese contribution from the equation would more than halve the rate of global growth from a respectable 4.7 percent to 2.3 percent in 2016. This is due, for one thing, to the rapid development in China itself: last year saw the Chinese life insurance market report the highest rate of growth seen since 2008, at over 30 percent. Although per capita spending on life insurance products (at around 170 euros) still has a long way to go before it catches up with the average for the developed countries, China has already overtaken Austria in terms of the insurance penetration rate, i.e. gross written premiums expressed as a percentage of economic output, and with 2.4 percent is also within striking distance of the Germans, who are often described as real life insurance enthusiasts: the life insurance penetration rate in Germany came to 2.7 percent last year (which, incidentally, is also well below the western European average of 4.7 percent). But this certainly does not signal the end of China's catch-up process.
After all, just like their Chinese neighbors in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where the penetration rates top the international league table at 15 percent and 16 percent, respectively, the mainland Chinese are also having to set an increasing amount of money aside for their old age.
Second, this Chinese dominance can definitely also be attributed to the slump on the life insurance markets elsewhere in the world. In western Europe, premium income is expected to have dropped by 1.2 percent overall in 2016, the first negative trend seen since 2012. And this certainly isn't a predicament that is limited to western Europe.
The markets also contracted in parts of eastern Europe (i.e. in Poland and the Czech Republic, both for the fourth year running) and Australia (for the second year in a row) last year. On the other hand, Russia, Turkey and many of Asia's emerging markets - India, Indonesia and Vietnam for example - are reporting double-digit growth rates, with the US also reporting solid development. This means that, all in all, global premium income in the life insurance sector increased by an estimated 4.7 percent to total 2,300 billion euros.
Just under two-thirds of global insurance premiums (excluding health insurance) are still attributable to the life insurance business. Developments in the property and casualty insurance segment have always been less volatile, with a much smaller margin of fluctuation both ways than in the life insurance business. So only a handful of markets - albeit including countries like Italy and Japan - reported negative growth rates in 2016. All in all, global gross written premiums in the P&C segment are likely to have increased by 4.0 percent. This would be the weakest figure since 2010, after five years of growth averaging more than 5 percent.
The somewhat disappointing development last year is, however, almost an exact reflection of the drop in momentum in the global economy and global trade - both of which also fell slightly short of expectations in 2016. China did not manage to escape this development entirely unscathed either, with its economic growth rate dropping further and the P&C insurance market reporting growth of "only" 9 percent as a result - the first time it had dipped below the 10 percent mark since the 1990s. This also means that the global trend is much less reliant on China in the P&C segment, with only one-fifth of last year's global growth attributable to the Chinese market.
Our projections suggest that western Europe achieved very solid growth - by its standards - of 2.1 percent last year. This is only the second time since the financial and euro crisis, after 2015, that growth in the P&C business has managed to climb back past the 2 percent mark again. Overall, however - looking at both the life and P&C insurance segments - the western European insurance market stagnated. As a result, its share of the global market contracted further to around 27 percent in 2016, as against 36 percent ten years ago.
This means that the advancement of China and other emerging markets is gradually eroding western Europe's weight on the global market. Interestingly, this does not apply to the same extent to the North American market, whose share of the global market has been relatively stable at around 33 percent for some years now. Although the North American market share is also lagging behind the pre-crisis level, the drop is less dramatic. This also becomes clear in a direct comparison: whereas at the start of the millennium, the insurance markets in North America and western Europe were virtually neck-and-neck in terms of total premium income, today's North American market is around 20 percent bigger.
And the trend that applies to western Europe in general also applies specifically to Germany: Germany's share of the global insurance market has been whittled down from 6 percent at the start of the millennium to 4.2 percent last year. Germany was at least able to defend its third place in Europe - behind the UK and France; in the global rankings, it was bypassed only by China, but could see Korea overtake it before the year is out. In per capita terms, on the other hand, Germany ranks a (disappointing) 18th worldwide, putting it far behind some of its European neighbors. By way of example, the Germans on average spend only around half as much a year on insurance as their British counterparts do; the French (+62 percent) and Italians (+19 percent) also spend a lot more on insurance cover.

Help For Your Home Improvement Project
Need Help On Your Home Improvement Project? Check Out These Tips!
Some people consider home improvement to be a hobby, and some let it take over their lives. Home improvement work can add significant value to your home. And as with any investment, there's always the chance for disaster. This article delves into the techniques that you should use to remodel your home.
If you have small holes in your wall, you can repair them by using spackling paste. Simply apply the paste to fill the holes and wait for it to dry. The paste may expand and crack, so you can apply a little more paste if needed. When dry, sand away any excess until the dried spackle is flush with the wall. Then paint the wall any color you desire.
Always insist on references before hiring a contractor to work on your home improvement project. Make sure your potential contractor is properly licensed to perform the work in question. Hiring a professional is worth the money to give you peace of mind that the job is done right the first time.
When it comes to home improvement, it is important to realize that the more customized your have, the less likely it will be appreciated by your future buyers. If you are concerned about the resale value of your house, it is important to appeal to the general public as opposed to your own tastes.
Installing carpet can be a daunting task if done yourself, or an expensive task if you pay a professional to do it. Fortunately there is an alternative. Much like vinyl floor tiles, there are carpet tiles that exist. These too have adhesive backing that allows you to install them easily, and they look just like real sheet carpeting when installed.
Find the home that is the right size and has the features that your family needs to live a happy and comfortable life. There are many features that will make living in the home more comfortable depending on the lifestyle and tasks that a person has in their life. Finding the one that meets your personal needs will keep you happy with your home longer.
One valuable home improvement project that could save you money is the installation of ceiling fans. Having a fan in each of your rooms can help keep them cool and allow the air to circulate. If you use the fans instead of air conditioning, your summer energy bill will be much lower.
Before you begin your next home improvement project, think about how long you would like to stay in your home. If you are planning to move this year, you may have a different budget for improvements than if you were staying for awhile. You would also want to focus on areas in the home, like the kitchen and bathrooms, that buyers think are most important.
As mentioned above, home improvement work can provide great benefits, though it may also bring great risk. There are home improvements that will not yield a return on your investment and may even lower the value of your home. If you want to avoid disaster and achieve home improvement success, all you need to do is listen to savvy advice like the tips you've encountered in this article.

Things have been fairly quiet at Making and Baking Hq recently as I have been busy with other things, so crafting has taken a little bit of a back seat. Although I have still been making things,(mainly to keep me sane!) I have not really taken many photos of what I have done.
It's lovely to see that Spring is finally on it's way, the shops are full of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths all of which are favourites of mine. The bulbs in my garden are also starting to flower giving a much needed splash of colour.
I'm currently away with three of my friends at a wonderful holiday home Croome Court Stables in Worcestershire for my birthday. The location is beautiful and the house is located in the National Trust grounds.We have had lots of time to relax and of course there has been plenty of laughter. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends. The time away has also given me the chance to catch up on my blog.
I have finally finished the hitchhiker shawl (pattern link in King cole zig zag bilberry) that I started last month, I love the colours in it. I only managed to make 40 points on the shawl as I only wanted to use one ball of wool so I suppose it's not technically a hitchhiker shawl! However, it did win me some goodies from the lovely people at Knitpro Facebook link who chose my photo as their cover picture. I was very happy to receive some double pointed needles, a stitch counter, stitch markers and interchangeable needles !
The pattern is really easy to knit so I've started another one this time using West Yorkshire Spinners yarn in Mojito.
As usual I have a few projects on the go, a pair of socks for me in the WYS Pink Flamingo and a crocheted baby blanket using various wool from my stash. I've even found the time to make myself a few stitch markers too!
