2 weeks trip it was and I was soaking in the imagination that I will get to experience the traditional side of China which is old architecture, temples, local food and so on…. Somewhere, I had this thought in mind that China would be like India as both are suffering from population explosion and it's a growing economy so there would be a lot of similarity in terms of the hustle bustle on the streets and cities.
Dear readers, please take a pause. Visualize – how you imagine China in your mind….. that will make the reading more indulging and interesting.
Now go on with the reading >
About me: (It's important to know me a bit as this would help you understand my perspective & challenges better)
- Location: I was born in Odisha and grew up in Patna. I studied in Pune, then worked in Delhi for almost 8 years and now settled in Bangalore. So, I have lived across India and I am quite adaptable.
- Food habits: I am a pure Indian non-vegetarian 🙂 I eat egg, fish, chicken and mutton.
- Travel Preferences: I prefer travelling with family or group. But even if I am alone, I soak in the pleasures of travel.
- Habits: Web surfing, tweeting, exploring good non-veg foods, dancing, interacting with new people.
- Profession: Digital marketer
- Love: Life, music, fun, food, family, laughter, observing what's happening around and capturing moments
Well….. I have shared enough about myself, now let's get back to the streets of China >>
When one thinks of China, primarily one thinks of Beijing and Shanghai. But I was excited about the fact that I would get to see 10 cities! This means I will get to see the real China beyond the two glamorized cities. My imagination was running with the view of traditional houses, temples, monks, farmers, hawkers………………. I was all geared up for the journey starting from Beijing to Tianjin, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Jiangsu, Wujiang, Tongzhou, Shanghai…. The excitement fueled with the thought that I will commute to these places through flight, bus and train, and this will give me an opportunity to pass by many more cities and villages of China.
The magic began when I landed in Beijing on Sunday. The airport was buzzing with energy & confusion, immigration lines were quite unorganized…. Though the airport was huge, grand and beautiful! We had to take a metro to reach to our luggage pick-up area. As we came out from the Airport waiting for our bus, it started to rain and the city looked beautiful. But……errrrr…….what's this smell?? I felt heavy smoke all around. I spoke to my friends from China and Singapore who were part of this trip and they said "Shreya, it's not cigarette smoke. It's smog that you can smell!" I didn't believe them as I come from a country which is highly polluted and I have never smelled such dense smog.
We got into the bus and I grabbed the window seat. All my fellow passengers went off to sleep as the journey to our hotel was an hour long but how could I go to sleep 🙂 With inquisitive eyes, I was looking out of the window. Hello Beijing!! There was heavy traffic and we reached hotel at snail's pace. Though I was thinking, the more delayed it is, the better it is 🙂
I step inside my posh hotel room and what?? I could still smell the smoke!! So, if you are travelling to China, I recommend you to carry a mask. Also, you can find pollution level at www.aqicn.org and accordingly take decision for yourself.
Then the desire to share the photos on social media arose, but I soon recollected the limitations that Google & Google products like Gmail, YouTube are all blocked. Facebook – blocked. Twitter – blocked.
Here's the list of websites banned in China for your reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Websites_blocked_in_mainland_China
Guess what???? Thank God that WhatsApp works in China!
I quickly shifted my gear to Bing search though the number one search engine in China is Baidu. Well the Bing experience was pretty nice as the search results were almost similar as that of Google in India expect that Bing results also throw the blocked sites in search results.
But, as you know, when in Rome, be like a Roman. So find the way out, adapt to the circumstances, accept the limitations and enjoy whatever you have!! So, here I am, sharing my experiences with you all through this blog 🙂
Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner ~ my expedition with the Chinese food was really very interesting, enlightening and sometime horrifying. I was still lucky as I had some friends with me who could help with the translation.
Here's what a typical foody day menu would look like:
Starters: Warm water and Green tea
Main Course: Soup, veggies (A minimum of 2 or 3 vegetable items are a must), non-veg items. So, you would have an array of food items on your table.
Drinks: Local Beer, Rice Wine, Juices (atypical – Corn, Sugarcane) etc.
Desserts: Sticky rice and whatever else you order.
Note: If you want to eat rice, you will have to tell the hotel staff to serve rice early and not towards the end of the meal.
The traditional dish of China is Peiking duck. It's said that if you don't have this dish your trip to Beijing will remain incomplete. So, in order to live the visit experience fully, I decided to eat the duck for the first time in my life.
Of all the dinners, my worst experience was when I saw the visual of some of the weirdest food of my life!
When you think of Scorpios what would you think you?? Venom, fear, death etc. But here it is served as a delicacy!! After looking at the below two food items in the menu, I couldn't get over with the visuals that night and had troubled sleep for next couple of days
Warning: If you are picky about food or you are a vegetarian, you might want to skip the below four visuals ~
Soon it was the time to hit the roads. As we boarded the bus, I quickly occupied the broad view window and was all set to enter the dragon 🙂
I kept looking out of the train window but to my surprise everything looked the same! I mean, everywhere there were similar looking apartments, high rise construction works, canal system flowing in and out of cities, organized societies, broad roads with flower bed in the corners, ring roads, empty roads, streamlined traffic….. Infact the farming lands were also well distributed and the farmers were in boots, western dresses and hats. Every pond in the passing village had a motor device which was probably helped in circulating the water across fields. Everything looked exactly the same!!!! You can only differentiate by the Chinese characters on the walls and around. I got to know that they send their students to Singapore to study architecture etc. and then they come back home and contribute towards modernizing China.
After speaking to couple of countrymen, I sensed that they really like India because of our democratic governance setup. Well, after looking at their developed economy and hearing their emotional side, as a traveler, I can only say that everything has it's own plus and minus.
Coming from India where there is so much diversity in terms of house constructions, farm distribution, people's clothing, hawker's visibility etc. I just was taken by huge surprise to see China, a country with 1.3BN population so well organized and robotic. I must say that as a curious traveler, I was expecting to see the cultural heritage of China but I could only see it's modernized version expect while visiting the Palace & monuments….. Nevertheless there is a lot to learn from them and make our infrastructure world class as well. Atleast, now I know that being overtly populated is no limitation if the planning and execution is perfect.
I was eager to visit the railway station as I was very sure that a place like railway station cannot be so organized but yet again, I was disappointed. Well, it was very crowded but I must say, it was very well organized too. But, guess what?? The visit to the wash room startled me!! I could not believe that people were using the toilet with the gates wide open… I spoke to couple of women about it and found that since the travelers have to keep a watch on the luggage they keep the door open…. After this experience, I could make sense of these messages inside the toilet room walls!!
My excitement quickly changed the gear as I got the ticket for bullet train with my passport number printed on it! There came the beauty and vanished in few seconds – It was a Bullet train. I could see other tourist competing to capture the beauty in their camera. To navigate on the station is very easy as our platforms are numbered well and carries the coach number for your train. There are lady attendants who usually stand on the gate to receive to assist passengers.
The inside view of the bullet train was also amazing! I felt like I was sitting inside a low frill airline. The seats were reclining with tray table. Very soon, a lady attendant served beverages. I could spot fashion show running on the TV inside the train. I decided to quickly pick up a chat with my English speaking neighbor and took his view on multiple aspects….. He shared that China is divided in 4 zones of food flavors. Beijing which is in central consumes more spicy food whereas Shanghai which is in east is more skewed towards sweet and spicy food flavors. After two stations, he was asked to change his seat, then I realized that even in China people get onto train without ticket confirmation 🙂
Well, during this trip, our PMO, Mr. Narendra Modi joined us in China; I could see him on all news channels and local newspapers. Glad to see his impact as I could see all eyes were glued on TV the moment he was shown on the screen. Some of them did mention that "your PMO is a visionary". It felt really proud to hear about my own country from Chinese people. Thank you Modi ji for making the positive impact across borders.
For all the shopaholics – Shopping in China has two faces; one is for the spendthrifts and another is for the value bargainers. If you have plenty of money to shell off and love the real branded stuff, you must visit the shopping malls. The prices of all the items were super expensive which is in contrast as Chinese products are positioned as cheap products. Well, all shopping in China is not cheap shopping. If you are a value bargainer, you must visit the local market and do street shopping. A local person suggested me, if the shopper starts with 1000RMB then you must say 50RMB and then the deal can be closed at 100RMB. We went on a tour to visit Great Wall of China, Forbidden City and Silk Market in Beijing. Our tour guide suggested the guys in the group to be little cautious as the women sales rep can give you a hug and don't leave you till the time you agree to buy!! Though, I did not get to see such moment of sales extremity myself.
If you are in Beijing, then don't miss out the golden opportunity to visit the Great Wall of China and Forbidden City. Make sure that you have a guide or a travel book so that you can read the relevance of the monuments.
The visit to Great Wall of China was very refreshing experience. The steps of Wall were really steep and one must be very well prepared for the hike.
Here's a blog link which you should read before planning the trip.
There were wish locks tied to the walls and I slowly whispered couple of my wishes too 🙂
I decided to look around, observe and soak in the local feel…… I spotted an elderly Uncle, who was accompanied probably with his son, and was trying hard to reach the top. Climbing was so tough for young blood like us, but he has a spirit of young blood too. He was climbing couple of steps and then taking long pauses. I captured his image and sharing here with you all. Let's salute to his spirit!
At this spot, there are many outlets, washrooms, rest areas at the starting point. I also saw a road going in parallel to the wall which was much easier to climb. I spoke to few hawkers about this road and they said that "what's the fun on taking that road when you are here to climb the wall??" Well, I still went out and suggested this route to few old parents who were sitting quietly in the rest area, gazing at the beauty of wall as their kids were climbing the wall. As I could not see a single woman or man in local dress yet, I decided to wear the local dress myself and get clicked 🙂 As this famous Chinese saying goes 'He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man', and I opted for the "hero certificate" and got rewarded with the Olympic medal by the group 😀
We moved towards the Forbidden City and I finally got to see the old structures and glimpses of Chinese history. And to my surprise, I spotted our Bollywood star – The Aamir Khan, roaming around the palace as a common man. I waved at him and he greeted me back. Later, I though it's a good opportunity to get myself clicked with the actor. He was really warm and I got successful in capturing this moment in my camera 😉
Shanghai was the city of glamor which was buzzing with tourist, fashion, lights……. It's a beauty!
One day, I wish to get more of China as now I am wondering is the entire China a look alike………
All in all, it was a thought provoking trip for me. If they can do it even our country can do it. We have certain blessings which we take for granted like the choice of – having kids, owning land, owning flats etc. Yes, we have the liberty to exercise these choices.
Old view:
Just a brief Overview – those who are familiar with Shanghai may recognize the Peace Hotel, or the HSBC building – certainly no Pearly Tower or IFC or bottle opener building!!! This is only 25 years ago.
Present view:
To Pudong today – just find this an amazing comparison.
Quick notes for the travelers:
- Carry your own small sachets of salt and pepper
- Carry your spoon and fork (plastic versions should be good enough). You will get only chop sticks for eating the food and it might be tough to explain your requirements to restaurant staffs in English.
- Don't experiment a lot with local food. Don't be too adventurous as this can lead to diarrhea and your entire trip can go for a toss.
- Carry some snacks, energy bars and water bottle in your back pack
- You can find MacDonald's, KFC, Domino's Pizza and Subway easily
- Apart from your regular medicine for diarrhea, stomach upset, a puke bag can be carried along
- Carry a glucose pouch
- To avoid pollution
- In some cities, some flowers or cotton particles are in the air
- Carry hand sanitizer and make most use of it
- Carry tissue paper
- Toilet – You will primarily find the squat toilet (also known as Indian toilet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet )
- There are two types of taxi. Always be patient enough to wait for a legal taxi
- Carry for hotel address map as the drivers might not know English language
Battery Bank: Read the details here else it will be confiscated at the airport. If it exceeds 160wh you will not be allowed to carry it in flights

Gambian longtime dictator has lost the country's December, 1st 2016 Presidential elections to Adama Barrow, a Real Estate businessman, who was backed by seven opposition parties. Mr. Barrow captured 43.9% of the total votes cast, whilst incumbent dictator Jammeh got 40.4% votes. Mama Kandeh, of the newly formed political party—The Gambia Democratic Congress Party GDC got 15.7% votes.
Dictator Jammeh, who was seeking a fifth term mandate grossly under-performed in key racing regions. Mr. Jammeh is yet to concede defeat.
The Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission Alieu Mamar Njie is expected to officially announce Adama Barrow as the winner of the elections in coming hours. There is a jubilant mood in Banjul.
Mr. Jammeh came to power in July of 1994, through in a coup. Jammeh has been ruling The Gambia with an iron fist. His regime has finally fallen.
Mr. Jammeh lost the elections partly due to one of his party members Mama Kandeh, Mr. Kandeh was expelled from the APRC. He later set up a party to oppose Jammeh in the Presidential elections. Mr. Kandeh's support base came from Jammeh's party. Jammeh's supporters defected to Kandeh's GDC.

I have a a 12 year old son who has autism and has been diagnosed since he was 6.
He has always been fussy with his food, but just recently we caught him making himself sick on an number of occasions and we know of other times he has been sick many other occasion but we dont know if he has done that himself. He is also very underweight and all his bones are visible through his skin.
We had him back to camhs where we have been told it too early to diagnose anorexia . Also they said to give him vegetable fats in abundance such as nuts seeds and fish !! not gonna happen !
Just after some advice really or similar experiences
Thanks claire x
Hi Claire,
Lovely to meet you. Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your son's eating. We have had similar difficulties ourselves when our son was 15 and this was before we realised that he had Aspergers. We had a very difficult 2 years with him until we learnt about his particular way of thinking and had to adapt accordingly.
The most important thing here is to try to stay calm. The word "Anorexia" can conjure up so many fears and distress for parents but the key is to try to limit your son's anxiety. I agree with ColinCat let him have whatever foods he likes particularly if they are high in calorie. Maybe you can find ways to add extra oil or fat to the foods he likes in order to introduce more calories.
In my opinion it is important try to work out what might be causing the problem, if at all possible. Is it texture, smell or even colour of certain foods. Could he be obsessed with 'healthy' eating and/or exercise as our son is? A friend of ours used to make himself sick because he wanted to become vegetarian and couldn't bear to eat meat. If he has a special interest at the moment could this be the clue to it?
Professor Janet Treasure is a Psychiatrist who has done some research about the link between disordered eating and Autism/Aspergers. I believe she is based at the South London and Maudsley NHS Hospitals. It might be worth trying to contact her team to ask for some advice.
Hopefully you will soon find out the reason why he feels he has to do this and things will get back on track. The NAS helpline was of great support to us and you could also try the eating disorder support organisation called BEAT www.b-eat.co.uk/.../ for some information and support.
It may also be worth enlisting the help of a nutritionist to work out a diet that he is happy with that would allow him to gain a healthier weight. Please also keep going back to your doctors for some help as boys of your son's age need a lot of calories and can see a rapid weight loss especially if they are keen on sport. If you feel fobbed off by them, the NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) guidelines do tell the medical profession what you have a right to expect from them. You should be able to find these on the internet.
Good luck, I'm here for you whenever you feel in need of someone to offload to.

Hi Tracy
Having just trawled the NAS site, your reply seems most relevant to our son (13yo) who is rapidly descending down an eating disorder route. ASD/ADhD,with long felt traits of ODD or PDA. Battled to get help at CAHMS, rejected by LDcahms re higher than threshold IQ, just started seeing an 'Art Therapy Phycologist' but we aren't getting any advice as parents about how to deal with Harry's obsessiveness with eating, over exercise & toileting fascinations.... In fact not confident we're getting the right support for H, reckon he just enjoys 'his focus time' with child centered Cahms because it gets him time off school... I'm a persistent parent, just need to know which direction i should be putting most of my energies into? Hoping you are still active on this NAS forum.... or anyone else with ASC & Eating Disorder link. It's taking over my son's already heavily burdened life, and considerable effects upon the rest of life/family etc...all the usual stuff for a super parent of super ASC children
Help much apprecauted
Hi Guy, I don't think I'm going to be much help here, it's just my experience of food and eating. I'm 50 years old with autism and have had difficulties with eating all my life. I'm ok if I follow a strict program and I get into a habit. What I find interesting is that today, I'm feeling so happy and I HATE food. I want nothing to do with any of it. It's like it drags my life down. When I get on a role, I can eat it and even really enjoy it but when I'm feeling so good, like today, the thought of eating or even drinking is such a big distraction that I don't want anything to do with it. It's like it has nothing to do with me, why would I want to eat it? It drags my soul down and makes me feel sick and sometimes I do vomit. I would regularly vomit as a child after eating if they managed to get any food down me. I was vomiting a couple of days ago. I think that because I don't identify with my body, in the way most people do, I don't have that natural connection towards food. I'm a nutritionist and Ayurvedic practitioner so I know all about food and healthy eating etc but when it comes to me and food, we don't get along.
I'm going to ease myself into eating a mostly raw food diet. I don't over eat on raw food and it doesn't make my stomach feel heavy or sap my energy. It doesn't mess with my emotions etc and after 50 years of trying different ways of eating etc, I think that this may be my answer. I feel much better on a wholefood plant based diet but I think I need to take it to the next stage. I don't particularly want to but I know I've got to sort this damn eating issue out and this seems like a solution that could work, at least one that's worth trying.
p.s. I've also had a life long obsession with exercise and a fascination with toileting needs. I was first taken to the doctors when I was just a little kid, with my eating problems. The doctor simply said I didn't chew my food so needed to chew it. I thought, of course I'm not chewing my food, I don't want any of that stuff in my mouth so I'm not going to chew it. I have always eaten things of a certain colour, shape, smell, texture etc but this was more about trying to do damage limitation, to have as much control as possible over this stuff (food) that has to go in my mouth. After 50 years, despite people telling me I have an eating disorder (I have never in my life considered this) I have finally realised, that it certainly 'looks' like an eating disorder. That shocked me. The realisation came only a few days ago when I was yet again, throwing up after eating a really nice dinner. I would never go down the eating disorder route. I will not have my eating habits pathologised, but now I've got a greater awareness of it, I can deal with it.
For me, the top and bottom of it is that I don't identify with my body as if it was a part of me, beyond let's say, an earth suit, that I wear while I'm here on planet earth. 'I' don't need food but I understand and accept that my body might, so I'm willing to try. I'll try a raw food diet and if just doesn't work, I think I'll become a breatharian! Lol! They don't eat (or drink I don't think). There was one in Bali the year before last when I was there but I never got to meet her.
Excercise and monitoring my bowel habits etc are good for me, the exercise keeps my mind fit and I can tell from my bowel habits how healthy my diet is and if I need to make adjustments. I was once told by a super excited consultant that I had the cleanest bowels he had ever seen, and he's seen quite a few over the years, he was over the moon by it! Lol! So at least I know I've got clean bowels! lol!
Hi BlueRay
thanks for taking the time to reply, especially in such great detail. As our son doesn't tell us much about things, this is very helpful to have a little insight into some of the possible processes going on in his wonderful mind.
All the very best to you & your Earth suit!
And thanks to you for bringing this up. I'm going to check out the links that Ross gave ~ I would love to be free from this eating disorder. I'm going to try raw food only but I'm going to check ohe info that's here as well, I feel sure I'm going to get some helpful tips. Super exciting Best of luck to you and your boy and the earth suit's getting more comfortable by the day!

CompTIA NET+ Cert, Part 06 of 17: LAN and WAN Infrastructure
with Patrick Loner
In this course we'll took a more detailed look at the various network devices that you will be involved with working as a network technician. We'll start by analyzing the various types of switches as well as their cost and capabilities. Next in this session we'll shift focus to look at WAN transmission and connectivity options that exist for today's networks. We start by describing the various methods that organizations might tap into to provide connections to the internet as well as other offices. These included various styles of networks such as circuit switching networks used by DSL, ISDN, and T-Carriers, cell-switching networks used by ATM, and packet-switching networks used by Frame Relay and MPLS. We then discuss various options for connecting to the service provider providing access to those networks. We'll finish by looking at the common concept of converged networks where we can maintain different types of traffic, such as voice, video, and data on the same underlying infrastructure.Course Outline

In recent months, researchers have pointed to possible signals of Alzheimer's disease that could allow doctors to detect the ailment before symptoms start. They have spoken of small areas of the brain that appear to shrink, and psychological tests that yield subtle clues.
Now scientists think they may have found another clue: smell.
Writing in this month's American Journal of Psychiatry, researchers say that problems identifying aromas may indicate early Alzheimer's, but only when the patients do not realize that something is amiss with the sense of smell. A sense of smell often declines with age.
Dr. D. P. Devanand, who practices at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and teaches at Columbia, based the theory on a study of 90 patients who were suffering memory problems or cognitive impairment.
Researchers kept track of 77 of the patients for about two years and found that 19 ended up with Alzheimer's.
The patients were given a multiple-choice test in which they were exposed to 40 smells, among them peanuts and menthol, and asked to identify them.
After analyzing the results, Dr. Devanand observed that a poor sense of smell by itself was not a predictor for Alzheimer's, but patients who did badly on the test while saying they had no problems with their sense of smell appeared more likely to develop the disease.Continue reading the main story

Were going to level with you: The British Royal Family is just a really, really boring version of Game Of Thrones, where no-one gets killed (apart from Diana). Instead of waging great wars against mortal enemies and foreign kings, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (forget Windsor, thats their real house name) lot satisfy themselves with occasional internal bickering, mostly about Kate Middleton and her wardrobe malfunctions. Lordy…
1. Kate wearing wedges
The queen allegedly hates wedges. Reports claim that she doesnt find them befitting of a member of the royal family.

We recently received some new information about the old Curtis Paper Mill smokestack in Newark, Delaware, that Mick Melvin posted about in the fall of 2010 (see September 12, 2010, "Smokestack Lightnin'").
Backside fan David Huntley tells us that the stack, which since 2007 has been the sole remnant of the factory that stood there since the Industrial Revolution, is slated for demolition.
"There is a pre-demolition meeting scheduled in a couple of weeks to discuss HAZMAT removal and disposal," David said in an email. "I expect demolition to occur within the month if there are no weather or other impediments."
David was kind enough to send us a few close-up shots, in which you can see the stack's comprised condition.

From Pete Zarria:
Route 66 still maintains quite a bit of its roadside charm on the Backside of America. It has to be searched out, but with minimal effort.
The reward is a trip back in time to an America of far more freedom. The roads followed their own course instead of being plowed through with dynamite. Every attraction and amenity was provided by an entrepreneur, their places made unique by locations and personalities.

(Webb City, Missouri -- Dr. Ray Vaughn Pierce was a patent medicine huckster with a laboratory in Buffalo, NY. He produced millions of dollars worth of patent remedies. As well as the Pleasant Pellets, there were Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, Dr. Pierce's Vaginal Tablets, Dr. Pierce's Extract of Smart-Weed and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery – a licorice-flavoured tonic that reportedly contained quinine, opium and alcohol and was advertised as giving men "an appetite like a cow-boy's and the digestion of an ostrich." Dr. Pierce's products were available into the 1970s.)
It's a pity we now suffer the depressing view of sameness to everything we encounter on any drive. There is nothing like the individuality of a bright neon sign in the night.

From Dave Brigham:
For the last year and a half, I've been on the trail of a mystery from my childhood. When I was 14 or 15, two kids who were a year or two older told my friend Pat and me about an abandoned house down by the railroad tracks not far from our neighborhood.
We walked on the tracks regularly to get to a small grocery store and candy store. We also played around down by a couple of nearby ponds, and every once in a while crawled through a tunnel that went under the tracks. So we knew the area pretty well.
We checked out the house, and it was indeed abandoned, but it was filled with somebody's stuff. Whoever had lived there had either gotten out in a hurry, or died and didn't have anybody to take care of going through the stuff.
That mystery has followed me throughout my life. I harken back to it with some frequency, and even put a similar event in a short story I wrote years ago.
In mid-2011 I posted to a Facebook group dedicated to people who grew up in my hometown of Simsbury, Connecticut, wondering if anybody knew about the house, and who lived there. I learned that the guy who lived in the house was named President Little, which is an awesome name. Some folks who grew up near me, and who were a few years ahead of me in school, said that as teenagers they'd hung out with Mr. Little, something their parents wouldn't have liked if they'd known about it.
President had told them he was the son of slaves and that he had no family, so these folks on Facebook figured that's why his house was full of stuff when he died. The house was torn down in the early '80s to make way for an apartment complex.
But having learned the name of the guy who lived there, I grew curious about the patch of woods just to the south of the apartment complex entrance.
In August 2011, I was back in my hometown for a golf tournament, and took a chance to visit the site where his house once stood, and was amazed that there were remnants of President Little's stuff left behind. I took a bunch of pictures, and when I got back home I started doing research online (see September 20, 2011, "In Search of President Little").
I learned that President's parents were born in the 1880's, so they weren't slaves. But it's quite possible, likely even, that he was the grandson of slaves.
I also learned that he had several children, most of whom were alive when he died. So why had none of them cleared out his house when he died?
Through a web site operated by the fiance of the late President Little's granddaughter, I discovered that at least one of his children, a son named Hood, was still alive.
I emailed the guy who ran the web site -- which detailed the Little family's genealogy -- and he gave me Hood's phone number in Florida. I asked him if he thought it would be OK for me to call him to ask him a few questions about my childhood mystery. He said sure.
I debated whether to call. How would I explain what I wanted, when I wasn't really sure? Would Hood Little think I was crazy? Would he blow me off?
After hemming and hawing for a week or so, I finally called. I was happy to hear his voice after a few rings. I fumbled through a quick explanation of who I was and what I wanted to talk to him about, as I wasn't sure whether he'd been told that I might call.
He seemed willing to talk to me, but told me he was on another call on his cell phone, and that I should try him back shortly. I waited about 10 minutes and called, but nobody picked up. There was no answering machine. Nothing, just ringing.
I tried again one more time a few days later and again got no answer. I decided that I shouldn't bother this guy, and my passion for pursuing the mystery of President Little subsided. Oddly enough, a few weeks after my second attempt to reach him, Hood Little called me. But I think it was a mistake, as when I answered the phone, he wasn't there and then he hung up.
In the meantime, I exchanged emails with a woman from the Simsbury Historical Society. She sent me a few interesting tidbits about President Little, which she discovered in newspaper archives. His son was hit by a car and killed at age 16 in 1941. Two years prior to that tragedy, President Little and another man were arrested by State Police for running a still and possession of firearms, "from which the numbers had been filed."
Obviously, my curiosity was stoked.
But no more information was forthcoming.
Until last week, I'd put the conundrum onto one of my mental back burners. Out of the blue, I received an email from a woman who grew up with President Little's son, providing me with some tantalizing new information.
Somebody at the historical society had forwarded to this woman, whose name is Mary, an email I'd sent them looking for information about President Little. Mary spends her winters in Florida, but is a member of the historical society. She and some friends are working on a history of the Weatogue section of Simsbury where I grew up.
She was in the same high school class as President Little's son, who was a junior. She remembered him well, she said, because he was the only black kid in the class. She also remembers well the day he died in 1941, when he was hit by a car on a busy road in Avon, close to his home in Simsbury.
Mary was kind enough to ask some of her friends what they remembered about President Little Jr. and his family. This, as so happens with historical research, is where things get a bit complicated.
One person remembered the Little family living across the street and a bit further south from the house I knew about. Somebody else said they lived on the same side of the road, but even further south toward the Avon town line.
I'll need to make a visit or two to Simsbury town hall and dig into some records to solve this mystery, but that's not going to happen any time soon. I believe that the Littles lived in the house I remember, because there were few black families in town at that point, and there were photos in the house of black family members.
When this all started jumbling in my mind a year and a half ago, I wondered what I might do with this information. I thought about writing some sort of historical or genealogical article, or a short story or novel. I am leaning toward a short story now, having garnered quite a bit of interesting and intriguing information.
I have not given up on the idea of working with somebody at the historical society or another local organization to do some sort of archaeological dig at the site. There are bottles, cans, pots, old shoes and other items on the surface, but they are sinking further each minute. I assume that under this detritus there may be more interesting items.
I find it appalling that when the apartment complex developer knocked down the house, they didn't do a better job of clearing out the previous owner's small stuff.
Here are a few more photos I took during my visit there in August 2011.

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL 10th FINANCIAL REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL on the EUROPEAN AGRICULTURAL FUND FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT (EAFRD) 2016 FINANCIAL YEAR
1. Report 12680/17 provides detailed information on European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) spend for 2016. The report sets out the budget procedure, the management of 'appropriations' (commitment and payment) and the implementation of the budget. The payment appropriations include that made against the 2007-13 programme.
2. The draft EAFRD budget for 2016 was adopted by the Commission on 24 June 2015. The draft commitment appropriation for the 2014-2020 Rural Development programme was EUR 18.651 billion (£16.446 billion, according to the October Cabinet Office exchange rate of Euro=0.88178). There was no commitment appropriation requested for the 2007-2013 programme. The final 2016 budget was adopted on 25 November 2015 with decreasing payment appropriations, but with no changes to the commitment appropriations.
3. The amount actually committed in 2016 was EUR 18.650 billion (£16.445 billion). The amount not committed of EUR 0.960m (£0.847m) was due to a modification of the allocation for the UK set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 affecting years 2016-2020. Of the EUR 18.651 billion, the UK accounted for EUR 0.851 billion (£0.750 billion).

New Year's Resolvings
I am not one for new years resolutions, partly due to the fact that I can never keep them. But 2016 will bring some pretty big changes in my life, ones that I will have to prepare for immediately. Below are three broad goals that I hope to achieve in the new year:
1. Get organized. I have a mild case of "Pack-Ratism" where I naturally accumulate crap. I'll clean my room on Monday only to observe it on Friday flooding with: clothes, mail, books, and half scribbled papers scattered about. Let's face it, I am a slob. And I have been fine with being a slob thus far in my life (its just been me), but increased responsibility coming in the new year (and a wife) may require me to change some bad habits in this department. What I need to do is create a system where the moment something touches my floor or my desk, I immediately place it either in a filing cabinet or in the fire place. Floor must be clear and desk must be clear. Getting organized will also require a scrupulous purging of my clothes as I just keep accumulating more (not my fault).
My Grandpa always says, "organization is the key to success," though I still hope for my sake that that is not true (even if I do stick to some changes).
2. Get "unplug time." The 24/7 information onslaught that modernity has brought with it has had harmful effects on us. Through social media in particular we have become information addicts and our addiction touches everything from our relationships, to our productivity, to our time, to even our ability to focus. Here is an article that speaks about this. To remedy this problem I am going to try to heavily limit my social media usage (Like two times a day limit). I am also planning on having at least an hour of intentional "unplug time" every day which means: turn the phone off, turn the TV off, turn the computer off, and maybe just get information the old school way by reading a book. Though definitely challenging, a "social media detox" may be worth putting on your new year's resolution as well.
3. Get a vision. I am an amateur at life, and I have never been one for big changes. Nor would I describe myself as an overly ambitious guy who has ever had a clear picture of what he wants to do with his life. Well, big changes are coming in 2016 whether I like it or not--and I need to figure out what me and my wife are going to be about. What do we want to do long term? Where do we want to be?. What ministries will we be most effective in? For an indecisive guy at a pretty crucial crossroads, finding a vision will be most challenging. It will not come through some step by step process or some simplistic thinking exercise. Vision will have to come with a lot of prayer, lot of thinking, and a lot of reevaluating; and courage to not be afraid to make big changes if necessary.

My Favorite PurseMarch 17, 2009 at 4:01 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 3 Comments
A while back I bought this purse:
I LOVE this purse! I bought it to support the Heartline Woman's program in Haiti. Aaron just wrote about the impact that this ministry has on these woman's lives.
"These women then sell their purses (through Heartline) and are able to make a personal profit off their products. They end up owning a sewing machine, keeping a portion of the profit and saving some in a personal banking account. In every practical way, they are learning skills and crafts to provide income and savings for themselves and their families. And they are incredibly skilled at it."
I really love this program. They are empowering women by teaching them life skills. They have a website that you can check out here.
Inside of every purse they attach the name of the artist who made the purse. I always look at her name and think about her. Well tonight as I was looking around the Haitian Creation website and I found her!!
World meet Suzanne!
"I am 33 years old. I am married and have two sons – six and three years old. My husband's name is Menes Abellard, my sons are named Sumens and Menes Junior. We live in an area of the city called Pernier. I was born in Cayes, in the southern part of Haiti. I have three brothers and one sister. My whole family moved to Port au Prince in 1980, but then moved back to Cayes in 1987 when the city became too dangerous. I finished High School and then returned to Port au Prince for more education. I have attended trade schools for secretarial work, language, pastry cooking, and some sewing. I would like to become a business woman. I attend church in Port au Prince called Church on the Rock. Through all this I realize that in Haiti only God can make you realize your goals. I know someone who is older than I but never found work anywhere so they are not able to make anything for their family yet. I have been blessed! Even if we are suffering from something else God will take care of that, for He said I'm with you until the end."
I love supporting these women! Please go to http://www.haitiancreations.com and support the women who are making these beautiful purses!! I am trying to talk Steven into letting me support Suzanne again!! 🙂 🙂

Oooh….I am inspired! I may sell the current bag I am carrying so I can buy one of these bags! I wanted one from the Trade as One, but they had sold out of the one I liked before I got a chance. I even saw they had purse parties….very fun!

Maris… THank you so much for sharing!! I've ordered one and am also going to host a purse party. Suzanne made my purse too – I can't wait to get it! S
Someday my husband and I hope to adopt from Haiti – we have three children already through domestic adoption, and are just waiting on God's leading for the fourth. Thanks again for sharing your heart and your passion!

It is useful to be able to rapidly share computer activity with a screencast. Tools available such as Screenflow, while powerful can be heavyweight for sharing a few seconds of a window to a colleague over an instant message. The following are some tools I have encountered.
Recording Terminal SeMssions
This is a doddle to setup and is free/open source. Get started with as little as three commands:
sudo pip install --upgrade asciinema
asciinema rec
asciinema auth
See the asciinima docs.
ttycast allows you to broadcast your terminal sessions in real-time using a headless terminal emulator and socket.io
A variation of asciinema for replaying terminal sessions but this one is in pure text. It is both lightweight and the result is copy and pasteable. (showterm.io via @maliciousmind)
Screen Recording
Terminal Sharing with Tmate
On a related note, tmate is a fork of tmux and allows you to share terminal sessions which is useful for remote pairing. tmate
Fortunately QuickTime which ships with all Macs has the ability to record the screen1. For enhanced productivity, I have assigned a hotkey in Alfred to call an Applescript to perform the action quickly2.
Similarly you can re-map the in-built screenshot tool (Grab) shortcuts3 under keyboard preferences -\> shortcuts -\> screenshots - thereby providing an optimal way to share both video and pictures of your current screen.
The Alfred workflow can be downloaded here: record screen with quicktime - alfred workflow.
The best part of this workflow compared to alternatives is that it allows you to draw a square around the area you would like to record as opposed to recording just the full screen, which can also be chosen by clicking anywhere on the screen rather than drawing a box.
If you want to record the audio at the same time, use Soundflower you can also preview the audio while recording. 4
If you experience issues with Soundflower give wavtap a go
Want more GIFS?
GIFS are a convenient format for conveying information, predominantly about cats. As a side benefit, they are useful for sharing code.
The following screen recording tools help you to share GIFS of your activity easily:
The fastest utility I have found for sharing screen activity is recordit which can quickly record an area of the screen and copies a shareable link to the clipboard when complete. The result can be shared as an animated gif. I can not yet find a way to erase recordings from their server so caution is required.
Screenmailer Record and send by email screenmailer - updated: 2014-05-29-1-20
Great utility for sharing GIFS which has the added ability to add titles, pause and resume and shift the target area while recording is Licecap
If you are more adventurous or want morem control you can convert videos to GIF too:
2015-11-06 Drop to Gif http://mortenjust.github.io/droptogif/
The Manual Way
You can convert various format to GIF for further customizing and control.
Quicktime video to GIF
install ffmpeg or use
brew install ffmpeg and then run:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -an -f image2 "%d.jpg"
read the manual for other options available:
ffmpeg -i in.mov -s 600x400 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -f gif - | gifsicle --optimize=3 --delay=3 > out.gif
Drag and drop video to GIF
An easier way to perform the above conversion is using GifRocket; drag and drop a video and out pops a gif.
Convert an Image sequence to GIF
If you have a directory of images created using something like TTY or maybe by a script polling a web camera you can use imagemagick to string them together into a GIF.
convert -delay 1 -loop 0 *.png animation.gif convert -delay 0 -fuzz 30% -layers Optimize* .png animation.gif
Convert Youtube video to GIF
Come across a youtube video and want to GIF it up? The french have heard your crygifff.fr
2014-08-22 YouTube to gif
Terminal to gif
A more manual way to record your terminal is to use tty rec and using a utility to convert the output file to a gif such as ttygif.
git clone https://github.com/icholy/ttygif.git
cd && make
[aside: 2014-02-25-3-07 - installation issues for me were resolved by running rm -f ~/.zcompdump*]
You might want to move the ttygif onto somewhere on your path for easy access.
cp ~/Desktop/ttygif/ttygif /usr/local/bin/
install ttyrec using brew
brew install ttyrec
now simply run ```ttyrec``` to record your terminal activity. Press ctrl+d to cancel the recording session. This will output a file ttyrecord into the same directory. To turn this recording into a gif then run
ttygif ttyrecord ```
Installing ImageMagick 2014-02-25-3-21
brew install imagemagick
I personally had issues installing this way so here is how to manually install it:
cd /tmp
curl -OL ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar -xzf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.8.8-7
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --with-modules --without-perl --without-magick-plus-plus --with-quantum-depth=8 --disable-openmp --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts

To remove asbestos (vermiculite) from this heritage home attic we needed to create a 3 stage decontamination containment. You can see the plastic (2 * 6m poly wall) going right into the attic. This allows us to contain any potential contamination of the home while work is taking place.
This the portable shower we use to wash-out, any bags, people, tools, etc need to be washed off before exiting the containment to remove any potential fibres that may be tagging along.
Asbestos containing waste is stored in an enclosed and locked bin and is then transported to Heartland via a licensed commercial carrier along with a waste transport manifest.

Bespoke web design for luxury men's fashion portal
The Challenge
Opumo sells designer men's accessories, including wallets, bags, ties, belts and sunglasses, sourced from the world's most exclusive fashion brands. Fashion retail is a competitive enough business on the high street. On the web, it's even tougher to stand out against traditional brands, big online names and niche boutique players.
As a young business only launched in 2011, Opumo needed a proactive digital strategy that would quickly build brand awareness, attract customers, develop loyalty and drive sales. Our client was particularly keen to boost their profile through active search engine marketing. So, our role was to build a new website, plus much more.
Our Solution
Designing and launching the e-commerce destination at www.opumo.com was only the first step. We then worked with Opumo on a number of marketing initiatives to help build their digital presence, including a vibrant new blog platform that matched the brand's overt sense of style and fashion.
All of our recommendations were informed by research. We conducted a full digital health check across the core e-commerce site, associated blog and the numerous social networks that Opumo uses. Our review studied everything from traffic statistics to existing content, and from usability and interactivity to cross linking. It also incorporated an in-depth assessment of search engine visibility and optimisation. These findings were complemented by an intensive competitor review, benchmarking Opumo's activity against key rivals, while evaluating keyword use and back link placement. The keyword research also defined and segmented audience profiles to establish behaviour and online habits.
Using all these elements, we generated an all-encompassing bespoke digital strategy that was immediately applied across Opumo's website and relevant social media channels. We acted as a true digital partner, working directly with the Opumo team to guide and oversee digital activity and training to ensure the team gets maximum benefit from our content tools. We continue to work on sustained link-building campaigns and advise Opumo on their social media presence as well.
The Outcome
Our work provided a strategic framework for Opumo that now directs every element of its online approach. It ensures that marketing activity yields maximum results – via its website, social networks and through the wider task of content generation.
Seeding Opumo content and links in relevant, authentic places has generated a rise in all key metrics.
A 15% month-on-month traffic increase has caused enquiries to rise significantly. Most importantly, those enquiries have converted into healthy and growing sales.
Get in touch to see how an intelligence-led, strategic approach could bring tangible results to your business, too.

Your Mars Rover newsflash for the day:
NASA's Opportunity rover sent back new images from Mars showing that small spheres previously found on the surface also exist below, in a trench the rover dug. Hints of salty water were also found in the trench, but much more analysis is needed to learn the true composition
NASA has yet to contact Ben to confirm or deny his involvement.

There are a few features of the 2015 Ford F-150 that have earned the vehicle stellar reviews. Given that the vehicle is most often used by hard-working truck owners, some features really stand out, including those focused on power, capability, and comfort—all of which are keys to getting the job done right. Which job? Every job.
Before you stop into our showroom at Kriegers Ford to test drive the new 2015 F-150, check out our vehicle review below.
The 2015 Ford F-150 offers four engine options with a range of power production and fuel economy. The engine that's right for you depends on your needs, wants, and budget. The F-150's four engine options are as follows:
2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that produces 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque and is EPA rated for 19 city and 26 highway mpg.
3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that produces 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque and is EPA rated for 17 city and 24 highway mpg.
3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine that produces 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque and is EPA rated for 18 city and 25 highway mpg.
5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine that produces 385 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque and is EPA rated for 15 city and 22 highway mpg.
All of these engines come standard with an electronic six-speed automatic transmission.
The ride of the 2015 Ford F-150 is one reason today's truck buyers love it so much. This love can be attributed to its amazing towing capability and the inner workings of the suspension, shocks, steering, and braking systems. More specifically, you get the following:
Independent double-wishbone with coil-over shock and stamped lower control arm front suspension.
Leaf spring/solid axle rear suspensions.
Heavy-duty gas-pressurized front and rear shocks.
Power four-wheel anti-lock vented disc brakes.
Electric power-assisted steering.
Together, all of these technologies work to give you a comfortable ride so you don't have to feel all of the bumps and blemishes in the road.
Truck buyers also enjoy the Ford F-150's standard features and the list of optional ones from which they can choose. Regardless of your budget, wants, and needs, you can find a setup that will make you feel as comfortable as you want when you're driving the F-150. Consider the following:
The optional reverse sensing system makes pulling out of Muscatine job sites a little bit easier.
The fully flat load floor will give you more underseat storage space than in previous models, making it easier to load up.
Cruise control means those long highway drives are more fuel efficient and comfortable.
The all-weather rubber floor mats mean you can get as dirty as you want on the site and still keep your truck clean.
There are so many reasons to love the 2015 Ford F-150. What's your favorite? Let us know when you come in to take it for a test drive. Give us a call at 888-905-0743 to set up a test drive or stop by our showroom at 3205 North Highway 61 in Muscatine, IA.

The stimulation of inha expression by FSH and the potential inhibition of FSH by inhibin suggest a possible existence of a negative feedback loop between the pituitary and ovary in the zebrafish.
findings report the changes in inhibin-alpha subunit gene expression in the corpus luteum is regulated by LH; results suggest a possible multiple crosstalk of Wnt, cAMP, and SF-1 in the regulation of luteal inhibin secretion
molecular cloning of a novel inhibin alpha cDNA
This study tested the hypothesis that inhibins act in an autocrine manner on Leydig cells using a pre-pubertal Leydig cell line, TM3 (show TPM1 Antibodies), as a model of immature Leydig cells.
The study is the first to identify an intratesticular role for inhibin/inhibin-alpha subunit, demonstrating that a threshold level of this protein is required for normal testis development and to sustain adult somatic testicular cell function.
inhibin is a broad regulatory marker in anterior pituitary cells
A novel role for GDF9 (show GDF9 Antibodies) in causing reproductive defects and suppressing tumor initiation in the Inha(-/-) mouse model.
Data indicate that the inhibin-alpha promoter is activated synergistically by Wt1 (show WT1 Antibodies) and Sf1 (show SF1 Antibodies).
Inhibin alpha-subunit N terminus interacts with activin type IB receptor (show ACVR1B Antibodies) to disrupt activin (show Actbeta Antibodies) signaling.
relationship between inhibin and Sertoli cell activity
These data support the role of proconvertase PCSK5 in the processing of ovarian inhibin subunits during folliculogenesis.
There are widespread alterations in the transcriptome of gonadotropin-treated Inha-/- granulosa cells, with significant changes in genes involved in extracellular matrix and cell-cell communication.
Results demonstrate that RB is not essential for Sertoli cell tumorigenesis in Inha KO mice but that loss of Inha accelerates the infertility phenotype of Rb cKO mice.
HIF1A (show HIF1A Antibodies) and EPAS1 (show EPAS1 Antibodies) potentiate hypoxia-induced upregulation of INHA expression in human term cytotrophoblasts in vitro.
There is genetic heterogeneity regarding the INHA gene in different populations, and among the causes of premature ovarian insufficiency. The G769A variant was found in only one patient in the Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Group and in no control, and it appears to be rare in Brazilian patients with premature ovarian insufficiency.
Inhibin-alpha gene is transcriptionally silenced in human leukemia cells. In addition, mutations in, and expression levels of, the inhibin-alpha gene differed between human lymphoid and myeloid leukemia (show BCL11A Antibodies) cells.
Results suggest that high expression levels of alpha-inhibin and beta-glycan transcripts in secretory phase endometrium are associated with a lower chance of achieving pregnancy with in vitro fertilization.
Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH (show AMH Antibodies)) and inhibin-A (INH-A) levels were found to be significantly higher in the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) group compared to the controls.
Immunostaining allowed the identification of specific cell types with E-cadherin (show CDH1 Antibodies), p53 (show TP53 Antibodies), and inhibin-alpha expression in all cases.
Each follicular fluid (FF) was individually aspirated and FF/serum EG-VEGF (show Prok1 Antibodies), inhibin-a, and FF IGF-1 (show IGF1 Antibodies) levels were evaluated. The pregnant group was characterized by increased numbers of WVFs (p = 0.044), a WVE (p = 0.022), and increased levels of FF IGF-1 (show IGF1 Antibodies) (p = 0.001) and serum EG-VEGF (show Prok1 Antibodies) (p = 0.03).
The Sertoli cell hormones inhibin-B and anti Mullerian hormone (show AMH Antibodies) have different patterns of secretion in prepubertal cryptorchid boys.
Aberrant methylation and common genetic variation in the INHA promoter occur in human adrenocortical carcinoma and are associated with decreased INHA expression.
the correlation between placental DNAm of INHBA (show INHBA Antibodies)/FN1 (show FN1 Antibodies) and maternal serum INHA/FN1 (show FN1 Antibodies) levels indicate that DNAm may be a useful tool to identify novel biomarkers for adverse pregnancy outcomes in some cases.
Data suggest that, in granulosa cells, inhibin alpha-subunit is involved in regulation of cell proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, oogenesis, and ovulation. These studies were conducted in China and involved transcriptome sequencing analysis in cultured granulosa cells (from slaughterhouse pigs) exposed in vitro to a neutralizing anti-inhibin alpha-subunit antibody.
The relationship of INHA insertion/deletion polymorphisms with follicular cysts was investigated
This study provides evidence that the expressions of inhibin alpha subunit and betaglycan (show TGFBR3 Antibodies) are inferior in cystic follicles, and this may be caused by the decrease in FSH (show BRD2 Antibodies) in the presence of a cystic follicle.
The c.-42G>A and c.3222G>A polymorphisms in the INHA gene are significantly associated with follicular cysts in sows.
INHA and INHB expression and cellular localization in porcine oocytes were studied.
Association of the INHA gene to ovulation rate.
inhibin alpha-subunits were localized in the granulosa cells of follicles at all stages but were not localized in corpora lutea.
The effects of castration and other surgical intervention on the blood levels of anti-Muellerian hormone (show AMH Antibodies), inhibin A, gonadotropins, and gonadotropin receptors in bull calves are reported.
The expression of the components of the activin (show Actbeta Antibodies)-inhibin-follistatin (show FST Antibodies) system is altered in bovine cystic ovarian disease.
INHA gene can be used as a predictor for superovulation in Chinese Holstein cows.
Inhibin has a negative autocrine or paracrine effect on the in vitro capacity of granulosa cells isolated from dominant or subordinate follicles to produce estradiol.
overexpression of inhibin alpha (1-32) fragment regulated granulosa cell development and effects on subsequent oocyte maturation were both time- and stage-dependent
The result showed that AA genotype had remarkable litter size at P1 locus in the three goat breeds (P < 0.05). Therefore, these results suggest that INHA gene is a strong candidate gene that affects litter size in goats.
Sequence comparison showed that three base changes in INHA(two amino acid substitutions), and three base changes in INHBA (show INHBA Antibodies),(one amino acid substitution). No difference seen in INHA or INHBA (show INHBA Antibodies) mRNA expression level in the follicle of the two goat breeds.
This gene encodes the alpha subunit of inhibins A and B protein complexes. These complexes negatively regulate follicle stimulating hormone secretion from the pituitary gland. Inhibins have also been implicated in regulating numerous cellular processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune response and hormone secretion.
