"It's something that architects and designers have wanted to do for years, but it's always been ultra luxury, one off-custom stuff", said Rob Roland in regards to non-traditional luxury designs, the executive vice president of Dana Innovations in San Clemente, California.
Talking about fundamentals here, design is what is visual, something that can be seen or touched, but when it comes to unconventional non-sighted designs it is a blank vision. When a designer comes up with ideas that challenges this fundamental, dynamic innovations are born. Patrick Mclnerney's, an architect from San Deigo who took this concept seriously, by modifying his living room and ceiling as an extension to each other, with little difference in the structure. It is thrilling when there is provision of lights in the room but no switches, an illusion of fixtures on the wall but no hooks, there is jive in air because of the music but not really any player in the room. Mclnerney used "zero sighted" design techniques to nullify the effect of any clutter by fixtures both in and out. The stereo may be plugged in your closet, background power outlets, hidden wires seamed through niche, laser or automated switch, handle less drawers-cupboards-doors, camouflaged usage of wood, custom designed TV cabinets, etc. are some of the latest ideas entering the market.
The concept is to collapse the mix of too much in the room to little "visible" in the room. This attempt is not an early bird entry; and been prominent principle as early as 1990s. William L. Murphy's Murphy Bed was a conceiving design; the changes made later in the decade may not be called improvements. Bouchara, for instance enclosed a degree of transparency through clear glass console table, easily confusing to infant minds, specially designed for kids. For Miller, a New York based architect it was fighting with fire, on his challenge to design a salon based on the "non-sighted" design. "The approach involved covering every surface with wood shelving (even the ceiling), creating what he called a "complex kind of waffle space", Miller quoted.
But this may not be a universal adaption for the market as the major portion of clients are the ones who like their gadgets on display and valuable interior design accessories. The designer creates special corners and spaces to bring out the purpose these devices eject. This superficial display of décor and surfaces will never disappear. The TV although have trimmed down from its old box version to sleek screens but the liking of larger screens is constant which occupy the surface space. This doesn't satisfy the urge to nullify clutter through transparent and minimal inner design. The remote controlled ceiling fan, lights and chandelier, bathroom showers and electrical fixtures might fit into the comfort zone but you cannot imagine a door without a knob! Its formation was never meant to be that complex.
The scope of "button less" machinery needs to break itself from the ultra luxury produce to the less robotic and accessible layouts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 1, 2016
America Saves to Release Report at Event in Washington D.C.
80% of Young Workers Established a Savings Pattern, an Increase of 54%
Washington, D.C. – An eight-month long study released today by America Saves on the impact of the America Saves for Young Workers Program reveals that low-income urban youth will save consistently when given access to savings accounts, direct deposit, and goal setting. America Saves is featuring the study at the event "Youth Employment Programs as Pathways to Savings" tomorrow in Washington, D.C.
With the generous support of JP Morgan Chase & Co., America Saves contracted with C+R Research on an eight-month long study conducted in four separate waves of 100 youth each. Over the four waves, a total of 238 youth participated. These youth ranged in age from 16–20 years old, participated in their summer employment program, and had low or moderate family incomes. Highlights from the report include:
"This is the first time that many of these youth will receive a paycheck and the America Saves for Young Worker program plays a pivotal part in motivating them to save part of their pay for items they want and need, and for those unexpected expenses," said George Barany, Director of Strategic Initiative for America Saves. "This special moment in time then becomes an opportunity for employment programs, financial institutions, and America Saves to show young workers how to save and, more importantly, help them set up the systems to save automatically."
To highlight the report, America Saves is hosting an event in Washington, D.C. tomorrow from 1pm – 3pm entitled "Youth Employment Programs as Pathways to Savings." In addition to the release of the research, the event includes testimonials from young workers who completed the program, programs that are successfully utilizing the program, and financial institutions that are providing unique saving products and services. View the webcast here.

About America Saves for Young Workers: America Saves for Young Workers is a free program for summer youth employment programs (SYEP) that takes under ten minutes for youth employees to complete and highlights the use of direct deposit to put money away for both spending and saving. The program has proven to motivate most individuals to make a savings commitment and SYEP's current infrastructure to authorize direct deposit and split pay, or make automatic transfers between two accounts. Additionally, the program helps to prepare youth employees for orientation by encouraging them to bring their existing account and routing numbers with them and, if applicable, to setup an account before orientation. Learn more at AmericaSavesforYoungWorkers.org.
America Saves, a campaign managed by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America, motivates, encourages, and supports low- to moderate-income households to save money, reduce debt, and build wealth. The research-based campaign uses the principles of behavioral economics and social marketing to change behavior. Non‐profit, government, and corporate groups participate in America Saves nationally and through local, regional, and statewide campaigns around the country. America Saves encourages individuals to take the America Saves pledge and organizations to promote savings year-round and during America Saves Week.

This Abu Dhabi travel itinerary illustrates precisely the reasons a trip to Abu Dhabi is more authentic and interesting than a Dubai-only UAE trip.
There are some stories you can't tell, not completely. I'll do my best with this one.
Risk is always commensurate with reward – and few places in the world are more rewarding to visit than Egypt.
As I stood on the rooftop of the Shenkin Hotel early this morning, taking in a panorama of Tel Aviv as the sun crept up from behind the city, it was difficult for me to believe that my time in Israel was nearly over.
You probably won't get laid or even noticed by other men in Muslim countries. You may even experience cajoling or harassment just for being yourself.
Beirut is notoriously expensive, something I didn't fully understand until I couldn't find a hotel room anywhere in the city to meet my budget.

East Lothian Council has formally granted planning permission for the development.
Following the green light from planners, work is expected to begin on the expansion of the distillery visitor experience in the new year.
Under the plans, Glenkinchie's Victorian-era red brick warehouse buildings will be transformed into a multi-level cultural and sensory visitor experience, telling the incredible stories of Glenkinchie while highlighting its 125-year partnership with Johnnie Walker and its important flavour contributions to the world's number one Scotch whisky.
The expanded footprint will include a welcome lounge, upgraded retail unit, bar and cocktail making classroom, tasting rooms and a cask draw experience.

It's a genuine full immersion into the true values of Alfa Romeo, the Italian brand famous the world over owing to its distinctive style, state-of-the-art technology, and top-level handling and driving pleasure. All of these features have been refined over its history of more than 100 years, a prestigious achievement shared by very few auto makers and peppered with commercial successes and racing wins.
Paying tribute to the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti at "Spettacolo Sportivo"
When the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti DTM debut at the first race in Zolder, Belgium in 1993, it claimed a double victory. At the end of the season, the Italian race squad won no fewer than 12 out of 20 races, including numerous podium finishes. Alfa Romeo took the Constructors' title of that year, while Nicola Larini clinched the Drivers' crown. The 155 V6 Ti DTM had a powerful engine designed specifically for racing "beats" under its bonnet: the block comprised the standard 2.5-liter V6 engine with power reaching 420 hp at 12,000 rpm, a sophisticated aerodynamics package, a balanced weight distribution, and a four-wheel configuration for the first time in the DTM.
Aside from the Alfa Romeo 155, there are two special units of the 1954 Giulietta Spider to be lined up for showcase at the "Spettacolo Sportivo". Built on the Giulietta Sprint's floor panel, but with reduced wheelbase, the Giulietta Spider immediately met with international success. On show in Zandvoort is the 1955 Giulietta Spider America prototype, which is heralded as one of the most beautiful cars ever made and a symbol of the fifties, boasting the same performance as the Sprint and the same level of technical excellence, to the extent of immediately making the spiders of rival manufacturers seem obsolete. The second Giulietta Spider, designed by Bertone, belongs to a private collector.
Alfa Romeo 4C lends a hand at "Spettacolo Sportivo"
Last, but not least is everybody's favorite, the Alfa Romeo 4C. The 4C is again on course to awe the crowd at Zandvoort as it has done so at various venues. The Alfa Romeo 4C also happens to be the Official Safety Car for both the WTCC (World Touring Cars Championship) and the SBK (Superbike World Championship) series. Combining a 240 HP 1750 Turbo Petrol engine with the latest-generation 'Alfa TCT' dry twin clutch transmission and the advanced Alfa DNA selector (with Race mode), the 4C achieves record torque and power output per liter at over 200 Nm/l and 137 HP/l, respectively.

FreezingBlue Flashcards
Matilda has about 6 missing cases on her index of voting interest out of 1500 respondents. The best strategy for handling these missing cases would be to:
exclude them from the construction of the index and the analysis.
If an index fails to predict strongly the
external validation items, it is due to either:
the index does not adequately measure the variable or the validation items do not adequately measure the variable.
Surrisi wants to develop a scale measuring love
and wants to include a few dozen judges, or experts, to rate each of her items
in terms of how strongly each indicator measures love. She should use:
Thurstone scaling.
Yellow Bird wanted to develop a measure of
satisfaction with school life using items to reflect the various dimensions of
school life (academics, social life, residence halls). She wanted to have each
item measure intensity of feeling by using such categories as "strongly
agree" and "strongly disagree." Which approach is best?
Serrina wanted to analyze the intersection
between two variables--school type (public or private) and school location
(urban or rural)--in her study of student values. Which approach should she use?

Certain theories and paradigms require composite measures.
The Bogardus scale measures:
the willingness of people to participate in social relations with other kinds of people.

can assign scores to patterns of responses. Some items reflect a
relatively weak degree of the variable while others reflect something
stronger. Which one of the following should he use?
Which type of validity is used to select items for an index?
Why should you perform bivariate and multivariate analyses of the items in your index?
To see how they correspond to each other to decide which ones should be included.
Why should you perform bivariate and multivariate analyses of the items in your index?
To see how they correspond to each other to decide which ones should be included.
What are the two decisions to be made in deciding how to score an index?
The desirable range of index scores and the assignment of scores for each response.
Edgar decides to validate his index of marital happiness by determining which people subsequently divorced. Edgar is using:
external validation.
Nick wanted to develop a scale to determine how willing people are to
connect at various levels with people with disabilities. Nick should use
Bogardus social distance scale.
Othello wanted to develop a scale to measure love that involved having
respondents choose between two opposite positions, using qualifiers to
bridge the distance between the two opposites. Best to use would be the:
semantic differential
In addition to using two opposite positions, the semantic differential also uses:
qualifiers in between the opposites.
he coefficient of reproducibility is used with which scale?
The coefficient of reproducibility indicates:
the percentage of original responses that could be reproduced by knowing the scale score.
Problems will emerge especially when typologies are used as:
a dependent variable
The Thurstone scale was named after Rensis Likert.
Although it is referred to as Likert scaling, to call it a scale is really a misnomer.
Scales are superior to indexes.
Generally, a composite measure should represent only one dimension of a concept.
It is important to examine both univariate and bivariate relationships among items in refining an index.
The phrase "equal appearing intervals" applies to the Thurstone scale.
The Bogardus social distance scale measures how much alienation people experience.
The whole point of scoring is to create a single composite index out of several items.
Researchers use scales much more frequently than they use indexes.
If an index fails to predict external validation items, the conclusion
to be drawn is more ambiguous than if item analysis show inconsistent
relationships between the items and the index itself.
_______ scaling is an attempt to develop a format for generating groups of
indicators of a concept that have at least an empirical structure among
The _____ asks respondents to choose between two opposite positions on various dimensions.
semantic differential
With _______ scaling, one looks for an underlying
intensity structure among responses to items such that "hard" and "easy"
indicators can be identified.
The _______ is used in Guttman scaling to determine the
percentage of original responses that could be reproduced by knowing the
scale scores used to summarize them.
coefficient of reproducibility
The principle of item selection that helps develop items with sufficient range on the variable you are measuring is known as ______.
Maggie wanted to do a study of women who had participated in
extramarital affairs. Since there is no sampling frame listing all such
women, she visited a women's group and asked for volunteers among those
who had participated in an affair. She then asked each of those women
for the names of other possible study participants. She was using which

Give bigger clusters a greater chance of being picked but then take the same number of elements per cluster.
Findings based on a sample can be taken as representing only the aggregation of elements that compose the sampling frame.
Probability sampling provides a sample from a population such that the
sample contains essentially the same variations that exist in the
Bias in sampling simply means that those selected are not typical or
representative of the larger populations they have been chosen from.
The study population is more theoretically specified than the population.
Sampling error is the degree of error to be expected for a given method of measuring a variable.
Systematic sampling is seldom used in practice, with simple random sampling being the preferred approach.
In systematic sampling, the sampling ratio is the standard distance between elements selected in the sample.

Fetters highlights jobs, city ops, neighborhood enhancements in SOC
By Rebecca Sandlin - Friday, February 6, 2015 12:11 PM
In a quickly approaching election season, Huntington Mayor Brooks Fetters' State of the City speech focused primarily on the achievements of the past year in three areas: jobs, city operations and neighborhood enhancements.
About 35 people attended the address, held Friday, Feb. 6, at Café of Hope and hosted in part by the Huntington County Chamber of Commerce.
Fetters said 365 jobs were created in 2014 with the assistance of public dollars or incentives, with an average wage of $16.68 per hour, leaving the city with a 4.8 percent unemployment rate as of December. Private investment in the city was reported at $34.7 million.
"For every dollar of public money leveraged we saw about a $61.66 private investment return on that," he added.
Fetters cited manufacturers Bendix, CSP, Huntington Aluminum and Echo Lake Foods as companies that have opened doors or expanded their operations in 2014.
The amount of available industrial space has declined from 2.2 million to 135,00 square feet, as industrial operations have moved into existing buildings, he said.
Fetters says he wants to pursue and retain "meaningful jobs" with creation of industrial park space to attract business and the opening of the Regional Learning Center to teach local workers new, more advanced skills.
In the area of what Fetters called "running the city like a business," he outlined the completion of the federally-mandated wastewater treatment plant improvements project last year, at a cost of $10.4 million, less than the $12.4 million estimated.
The Frederick Street Interceptor sewer project, made necessary by underground limestone south of Park Drive which prohibits separation of sewers, was also completed last year, costing $5.4 million, again less than the $7 million estimate.
In addition, the Rabbit Run Phase I project, costing $13.4 million, less than the original $26 million estimate, with $400,000 in electrical costs, will be completed at the end of this month.
Although the city had been lagging in meeting the mandate requirements previous to Fetters' administration, he says it is now on track with the long-term sewer plan, at a savings of $16.2 million on the three projects.
"What's really nice is that Huntington no longer has a big bullseye on it as far as EPA and IDEM are concerned," Fetters said. "All these kinds of things have ways of affecting things down into the future. What I'm pleased to share is we're doing what needs to be done and we're hitting our compliance marks, and we're saving rate payers a gob of money."
Fetters also addressed the three sewer rate increases levied on customers in less than 22 months, blaming that on the city not having gotten the projects done in time. A project that will be started this year to renovate four flap gates on the combined sewer operation (CSO) outfall along the river, which he estimated to cost between $250,000 and $300,000, will not result in any rate increase to customers, Fetters said.
The flap gates make sure that river water does not back up into the sewer system and flood basements and houses. That project should be completed by the end of this year, Fetters says.
Fetters added the city had no sewer-related violations during the past year.
Fetters said the number of city employees is down nearly 17 percent, from 156 in 2012 to 130 in 2014. Seven of those employees were lost when the combined emergency dispatch included them under the county's wing. The city still provides about 60 percent of the cost of combined dispatch, he said.
The general fund surplus in 2013 was $1.4 million and $1.29 million in 2014, Fetters said. The mayor said $625,000 of the 2014 surplus was put into the city's self-funded insurance fund. Another $1.2 million was used to reconstruct 6.4 miles of city streets, 1,641 feet of sidewalks and 225 ADA-compliant curb ramps.
"We just continue to do more with less, defined in the private sector just as you find in the public sector, when you can bring automation into the work, you have higher-skilled people that get more work done with the equipment that's available," he said.
Under neighborhood enhancements, Fetters announced the city razed 15 structures, including some of the H.K. Porter buildings, a brownfield property on Sabine Street containing eight buildings which he said have been a community eyesore for years.
Downtown improvements include the city's search for a buyer for the former UB Building, which Fetters said will be razed if one can't be found. The former Lehman building, which once housed the Wolf & Dessauer Department Store, will be razed, and turned into Rotary Centennial Park in partnership with the Huntington Rotary Club, which will donate $125,000 to the project.
Next on the list was the city's trails system. The mayor cited the Little River Trail Section 3, completed in November as a part of the Frederick Street improvement project, and the Erie Rail Trail Bridge, estimated to be completed in May.
Trails and greenways are also near the top of Fetter's list of 2015 plans, including creating trails so people can walk or ride bikes to their place of employment. Section 4 of the trail is scheduled to start in April, going from LaFontaine Street along the Little River and connecting to the Erie Rail Trail Bridge.
Fetters also said his volunteerism program incorporated 761 volunteers last year, doing such tasks as painting park buildings, rehabbing picnic tables and repairing the candy cane Christmas decorations. The combined work saved the city $180,065, he said.
"What's even more important than that, is that it engages people to invest in themselves in a community that they call home," he said. "That goes back to helping people love the place where they live."
More of Fetters' future plans include improving streets, including alleys, gateways, corridor and sidewalk improvements; continued redevelopment of the Erie-Market business area and what he called "critical sites," including the H.K. Porter and UB buildings. He also proposed creating neighborhood associations in the Old Plat, Drovertown and Hawley Heights neighborhoods.
Operational efficiency goals include using the "Smart City" initiative brought to Huntington by Schneider Electric, devising continuous improvement processes in which the "savings fund the improvements." Fetters mentioned plans to harvest methane from the city landfill and sell it. He also put street light conversions to LED lighting on his list and added route optimizations for city vehicles including garbage trucks, snow plows and police cars.
Fetters also said the launching of a city-wide newsletter keeps residents informed of the goings-on in town, along with Facebook posts and YouTube videos, called "Hanging with the Mayor."

Official News:
Paul Walker has died at the age of 40, his rep confirms to Us Weekly. The actor -- best known for his work in the Fast and the Furious franchise -- got into a single-car accident and explosion in Southern California and died Saturday afternoon.
The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station confirms in a statement to Us Weekly that there were two fatalities in a traffic collision at approximately 3:30 p.m. Saturday. When deputies arrived, the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The Los Angeles Country Fire Department estinguished the flames, and two victims were prononced dead at the scene. The Coroner's Office is currently determining the identities of the victims, and the collision is still under investigation.
"It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide," a statement on his official Facebook page reads. "He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences. - #TeamPW."
A native of Glendale, Calif., Walker first broke out in Hollywood in the late 90s films Pleasantville and Varsity Blues. He then went on to appear in She's All That, The Skulls, and first joined the Fast and the Furious franchise in 2001. The actor reprised his role as Brian O'Conner in Fast & Furious 6 in 2013.

Championship: Sheffield United 1 QPR 0
PUBLISHED: 17:17 12 January 2019 | UPDATED: 17:17 12 January 2019
PA Wire/PA Images
David McGoldrick's first-half strike was enough to give Sheffield United victory over QPR and take them into the automatic promotion places.
Chris Wilder's men dominated for large parts of the match, and they held on to win, ending the R's unbeaten run and recording their fourth consecutive league victory.
The home side took the lead after early sustained periods of pressure as McGoldrick headed in from close range eight minutes before half time.
The striker lost his marker to latch onto Oliver Norwood's cross and score his 10th goal of the campaign.
United were looking to bounce back from their FA Cup defeat to Barnet and continue their fine league run, while QPR were aiming to extend their unbeaten six-game run in all competitions.
The Blades started as they meant to go on and could have taken the lead in the opening minutes when Billy Sharp's lay-off found McGoldrick inside the box, but he volleyed wide of the mark.
United continued to probe Rangers' defence and McGoldrick might have been in again at the back post but George Baldock's cross was too deep for the striker.
The visitors were doing well to frustrate the Blades with their resolute defence as Joe Lumley was forced into his first save from Norwood's deflected effort from the edge of the box.
QPR were happy to sit back and surrender possession for the majority of the first half, however the home side broke the deadlock in the 37th minute.
After more patient build-up play from the hosts, Norwood's whipped cross from the right hand side found an unmarked McGoldrick at the near post to head in from six yards out.
The R's were on the front foot after conceding, however they only managed two long-range attempts before the half was out. Jordan Cousins fired well over before Dean Henderson saved comfortably from Ebere Eze's tame effort.
Steve McClaren's men came out with more urgency after the break as they started to find their rhythm. And Baldock defended well to head clear on two occasions as the visitors searched for an equaliser.
The visitors were looking to counter attack at every opportunity and Luke Freeman had a great chance to draw level from one of their swift breakaways, but he scuffed his shot into the hands of Henderson.
With both sides looking for a decisive goal, the match became an end-to-end affair but it was United who looked the more likely team to score.
Wing-back Enda Stevens had the best chance of the half to double the home side's lead as he found himself with space in the box, but his strike was just wide of the post.
Chances were coming thick and fast at both ends, as the visitors had a good opportunity but Freeman was again off the mark with his attempt as the Blades held firm to take all three points.
QPR: Lumley, Furlong, Leistner, Lynch, Bidwell, Wszolek (Osayi-Samuel 62), Cousins (Smith 73), Scowen (Chari 84), Freeman, Eze, Wells. Unused subs: Ingram, Hall, Manning, Oteh.
Attendance: 25,501.

House Dems send snotagram to watchdog boss
"We write to request information that will help both us and the public better understand how the Federal Communications Commission managed the record in its recent net neutrality proceeding," begins a letter sent today by all the Democratic representatives on the House Energy and Commerce committee.
The missive notes that the comment period was "notoriously replete with fake comments" and argues that as a result it "raises novel questions about how an agency can properly handle and interpret the public's feedback to make sound policy decisions."
The seven-page memo [PDF] contains no less than 16 pointed questions over how the FCC handled abuse of its comment system, while noting that its subsequent decision to approve the controversial repeal of the nation's net neutrality rules provided "scant detail" on that aspect.
The letter also makes it plain that the lawmakers believe that the legitimacy of the FCC's decision is in doubt. "While we may not support the outcome of this proceeding, we hope you agree with us that transparency in the process is crucial," it reads. "In order to restore public confidence in the integrity of the process and give the American people a better understanding of how the FCC analyzed the comments filed in this proceeding, we request that you provide us information on how the agency reviewed the public comments."
Some questions…
It then gives the federal regulator three weeks to respond to queries including:
- How it decided which comments to ignore
- Why there are no references to comments from citizens in its final report
- Why it has refused to assist the New York Attorney General in his investigation of Americans' identities being hijacked to send in fake comments
- How it verified the identity of commenters, including corporations
- A variety of other questions over how it dealt with the flood of messages, real and fake
The letter also demands that the FCC hand over any relevant internal communications.
While the letter is unlikely to provide a smoking gun, it does keep up political pressure on the FCC over how it handled the public comment process.
The sad reality is that because the extraordinary abuse of the public comment process resulted in a useful outcome for the FCC's Republican majority – specifically, it muddied waters thanks to millions of comments on both sides of the net neutrality debate – the federal regulator decided to simply shrug its shoulders and move on. (That, and claim it was subject to a cyber-attack.)
Well would you believe it
Those who have analyzed the millions of comments, however, have consistently found that once fake comments are removed, an overwhelmingly majority opposed the FCC's course of action.
Faced with almost universal opposition to its plan, the regulator would have had a harder time voting to scrap net neutrality without going through another revision process.
Public consultations are a critical aspect to any public policy decision-making. However, the net neutrality issue became so famous and polarizing – it was even fodder for late-night TV shows – that what is normally a quiet and obscure process was subject to the full force of the internet.
So far, the FCC has demonstrated no intention of investigating what went wrong or how it can be mitigated in future. In fact, in an increasingly partisan atmosphere, even mentioning that the comment process was entirely undermined has become a political statement.
The three majority Republican commissioners running the FCC are simply ignoring the issue, and the two Democratic commissioners are using it as a cudgel against their colleagues. Unfortunately, while this letter purports to be concerned about the decision-making process of a critical body, the truth is that it is just one more partisan punch in an endless, tedious Washington DC fight.
The FCC should, of course, be horrified that its system for gathering public input is effectively worthless. But it isn't. Because admitting it has no effective way to gauge public sentiment could open the watchdog up to having its decisions challenged.
Plus, of course, having an indecipherable cloud of public comment makes it easier for the regulator to approve what it wants without the extra hassle of having to listen to outside voices. Which is, of course, the exact reason that the public comment process is written into federal decision-making in the first place.
We have no doubt that when the Democrats are back in charge of the FCC, one of the first things they will do is insist on a complete overhaul of the comment process to ensure it is fit for purpose. ®

The following protocols are for verification of pluripotency only and do not claim to be highly efficient or to generate pure populations for subsequent study. For all protocols, pluripotent cells should be grown as colonies on Matrigel (1.25%) in mTeSR. One plate should suffice—2 wells per differentiation protocol. High quality cultures with little spontaneous differentiation are essential for success.
Independent verification of these protocols is important so we would appreciate feedback if you have tried them and found them to work or not in your hands. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your comments.
Mesoderm—Beating cardiomyocytes; Lian (2012) PNAS 109 (27) E1848–57
- When colonies (or monolayer) in a 6–well plate are approximately 85-95% confluent, aspirate and replace the growth medium with RPMI containing 2% B27 supplement minus insulin and 12µM CHIR99021
- After 24 hours aspirate and replace the medium with RPMI containing 2% B27 supplement minus insulin
- After 24 hours aspirate and replace the medium with RPMI containing 2% B27 supplement minus insulin and 5µM IWP4
- After 48 hours aspirate and replace the medium with RPMI containing 2% B27 supplement minus insulin
- After 72 hours aspirate and replace the medium with RPMI containing 2% B27 supplement (complete)
- Change the medium every 3-4 days
- Beating cardiomyocytes may appear as soon as 6 days after initiation of treatment but may take upward of 10 days.
Endoderm—Liver; Si-Tayeb (2010) Hepatology 51 (1) 297–305
- Change TeSR1 medium to RPMI containing B27 supplement, glutamine and 100ng/ml Activin A—Day 0
- Change the medium after 2-3 days
- On day 5 change the medium to RPMI containing B27 supplement, glutamine and 20ng/ml BMP4 + 10ng/ml bFGF. This should be done at low oxygen (5%) but will work with lower efficiency at regular oxygen levels.
- Change the medium after 2-3 days
- On day 10 change the medium to RPMI containing B27 supplement, glutamine and 20ng/ml HGF. This should also be done at low oxygen (5%) but will work with lower efficiency at regular oxygen levels.
- On day 15, change the medium to Lonza Hepatocyte Culture Medium containing 20ng/ml oncostatin M
- Change medium after 2-3 days.
- Fix and stain with HNF4a (Cell Signaling Technology 1:200) and Albumin (Cedarlane 1:5000) overnight.
Ectoderm—Generation of Neural Progenitor Cells from hPSCs Using STEMdiff™ Neural Induction Medium; Stem Cell Technologies. Neuronal Differentiation; Cohen (2007) Current Protocols in Cell Biology
23.7.1–23.7.20, (modified O. Kozhich, B. Mallon)
Manufacturer's instructions should be followed—please refer to the user manual. A brief description and subsequent differentiation protocol is provided.
- Prepare an AggreWell™ 800 plate with Neural Induction Medium (NIM) containing 10uM Rock inhibitor (Y27632, Calbiochem) according to instructions.
- Wash colonies once with D-PBS and incubate for 10 mins with Accutase at 37oC. Remove with 5ml/well of DMEM/F12 and transfer to a 15ml tube.
- Spin at 200g for 5 mins, resuspend in NIM containing Rock inhibitor and count. Adjust the cell density to between 1.5 and 6x106/ml.
- Add 1ml of cell suspension to the appropriate number of wells of the AggreWell™ 800 plate and spin to generate EBs of between 5000 and 20000 cells.
- Feed daily by removing 1.5ml of medium carefully using a pipet (not aspirating) for 4 days.
- Precoat plates with 20ug/ml poly-D-ornithine in water (overnight @ 37oC) and 10ug/ml laminin (Sigma L-2020) in PBS (overnight @ 37oC)
- On day 5, harvest the EBs according to the instructions. Alternatively, EBs may be flushed and wells washed using 2ml pipets; combine the washes and allow the EBs to sediment for 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer all EBs from one well of the AggreWell™ plate to one well of a coated 6-well plate in NIM. Feed daily.
- When rosettes have formed, either use Stem Cell Technologies Rosette Selection Solution to remove (see manufacturer's instructions) or incubate with Accutase for 10 mins and replate in NIM.
- For propagation, resuspend in NPM (DMEM #11965044 Invitrogen containing B27 supplement minus Vitamin A and glutamine) containing 20ng/ml each of bFGF and EGF and plate on polyO/laminin coated plates at high density—1.5–2x106/well. Cells may be passaged 1:2 or 1:3 with Accutase for expansion or 1:12 for differentiation.
- For differentiation, plate cells in mTeSR (Stem Cell Technologies) on polyO/laminin or Matrigel (1.25%) at low density (1:12 split ratio). When confluent, usually after 5-7days, pass the cells 1:3 with Accutase and replate. This generates immature neurons which appear to retain propagation potential. Further differentiation to mature neurons requires the use of other growth factors and media such as Neurobasal medium or Millipore's Neural Differentiation Medium.
- Fix and stain with Nestin (Chemicon 1:100) and TuJ1 (Covance 1:500). Note this particular combination requires the use of IgG subtype-specific secondary antibodies. Can also triple stain with TH (PelFreeze 1:500).
