text: Oral-facial-digital symptoms type We (OFDI) can be an X-linked symptoms, which has many craniofacial and limb features; and therefore, sufferers show craniofacial and plastic material doctors frequently. Its occurrence is certainly one in 50 around,000 live births.1,2 Affected sufferers have got craniofacial features (forme fruste median cleft lip, cleft palate, bifid/lobulated tongue, lingual hamartomas, tooth abnormalities, hypertelorism, brittle head hair, alopecia, milia of encounter/ears, hypoplasia of ala from the nasal area, central nervous program malformations, and mental retardation); limb anomalies (brachydactyly, clinodactyly, syndactyly, and seldom polydactyly of hands and foot); and cyst development of organs (the mind, kidneys, liver organ, and pancreas).3-11 The symptoms is due to mutations from the CXORF5 gene.12 Mutations in the same gene trigger Joubert symptoms and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel symptoms also. We try to review the pathogenesis from H 89 dihydrochloride price the scientific top features of OFDI to improve our knowledge of the pathogenesis of craniofacial deformities, median clefts, and various limb features of OFDI patients. Localization of the CXORF5 gene product The OFDI protein is present in 3 main areas within the cell organelles: the centrioles of the mitotic spindle, the nucleus, and the primary cilium. Centrioles/centrosomes are involved in the mitotic spindle of cell division. Each centriole is usually a barrel-shaped structure made of 9 triplets of microtubules. The centrosome is made up of one pair of centrioles, which are surrounded by an amorphous mass of dense material (pericentriolar Rabbit Polyclonal to Cytochrome P450 17A1 material). Singla et al13 showed that OFDI protein controls the length of centriole, is required for microtubule stability, and is important in recruiting intraflagellar transport protein 88 (IFT 88) to the centrosome. H 89 dihydrochloride price In the nucleus, the DNA combines with chromatin proteins forming the chromatin. This combination serves several functions, such as the package of DNA into a smaller volume and the prevention of DNA damage. During the interphase of the cell cycle, chromatin becomes loose to allow access to RNA/DNA polymerases for transcription/translation. Giorgio et al14 showed that OFDI protein localizes to the nucleus through physical conversation with subunits of the chromatin remodeling complex. The primary cilium is H 89 dihydrochloride price usually a slim microtubule-based organelle that projects from the surface of many embryonic cells (Physique 1).15 It is composed of 3 parts: the basal body (a base that is attached to the apical actin network of the cell), the axoneme (a projecting part, which is made of 9 microtubule doublets with, or without a pair of central microtubules), and the ciliary membrane (the cell membrane round the axoneme). Oral-facial-digital syndrom type I is one of the basal body proteins (Physique 1). Note should be given that you will find many other basal body proteins, such as the BBsomes (mutations of BBsomes cause Bradet-Biedle syndrome), FTM (Fantom, mutations cause Joubert syndrome), MKSI (mutations cause Meckel syndrome type I), and EVC (mutations cause Ellis Van Creveld syndrome). As expected, all these syndromes have overlapping clinical features with OFDI syndrome, and hence, they are all known as human ciliopathies. Open in a separate window Physique 1 The structure of the primary cilium and the intraflagellar transport within the cilium. IFT – intraflagellar protein transport, ARL 13B – ADP-Ribosylation factor like 13B, OFD 1 – oral-facial digital proteins I The principal cilium may be the site of intraflagellar proteins transportation (IFT) (Body 1).15,16 The ciliary basal body influences trafficking of protein towards the cilia. Antegrade IFT takes place when the proteins is carried from the bottom to the end, and it H 89 dihydrochloride price is mediated by Kinesin-2 electric motor and 2 IFT proteins (IFT A and B). Dynein electric motor is also mounted on the IFT protein which will be needed for the retrograde IFT. Several H 89 dihydrochloride price protein are customized and/or activated in this transportation. Functions of the principal cilium A lot of the scientific top features of OFDI sufferers are linked to dysfunctions of the principal cilium. The principal cilium is involved with 3 main features: the Hedgehog sign transduction; the total amount between 2 WNT pathways; the canonical (beta catenin) pathway, as well as the non-canonical planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway; the pathways of cell routine control are the following: A) The Hedgehog indication transduction and OFDI The principal cilium may be the site of both Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) and Indian Hedgehog (IHH) signalling.15,16 The receptor for both SHH and IHH is named Patched 1 (PTCH1), which is situated at the bottom from the ciliary membrane. In the lack of Hedgehog legends, the current presence of PTCH1 at the bottom blocks smoothened (SMO). When the Hedgehog star binds to PTCH1, the receptor goes away from the bottom from the cilium; which allows entrance of SMO towards the ciliary membrane; enabling processing of protein through the.

Building Influence through Marketing: A Guide for Procurement Teams
Posted by JAGGAER Staff in eProcurement / Procurement Resources on March 14, 2017
Procurement teams are riding a rising tide. Where they once toiled in noble obscurity, they are now recognized as active partners driving value for their organizations. It's about time! If there is one thing marketers know, it's that when circumstances present you with a golden moment, you milk it for all it's worth. So with that, we offer 4 essential marketing strategies that are more relevant than ever to procurement teams.
1. Know Thy Customer
The first step to any successful marketing campaign is to be crystal clear on the problem you solve and the people you solve it for. People don't buy products, they buy solutions. Knowing who uses (or should use) your product is essential.
As a procurement pro, your "products" are savings (money, time) and value (efficiency, reduced risk, less waste). Focus on both of these when marketing yourself and your team. Sure there are a handful of people in your organization who care deeply about savings. But expand it to efficiency, risk and waste, and you've just grown your potential "market" exponentially. Finding more people who want to buy what you're selling is always a win.
2. Fish with the Right Bait
Marketers go crazy for a fishing metaphor. When we talk about "using the right bait," we mean capturing our target's attention with information, ideas and images that resonate. It's why marketing for minivans is heavy on safety and comfort while marketing for sports cars favors horsepower and high-speed handling.
For you, dear spend management guru, this means talking about what you do using the language, exhibits and examples that speak to your audience. For financial types, dollars and cents always work – but so do soft costs related to efficiency gains and increased productivity. Your legal team might be swayed by the promise of better contract compliance and reduced risk. Play up what matters most to the audience you are trying to win over.
3. Practice Content Marketing
In marketing speak, this means giving people a "freebie." We provide free information, advice or tips that have value to our audience to gain their trust and build a relationship. Those yummy free samples they tempt you with at the big warehouse stores? Content marketing at its most basic.
For procurement teams, this means carefully selecting an area where you see an opportunity to grow and reaching out to offer a no-strings-attached example of the value you can provide. Maybe it's showing your facilities department how you can help them stretch their budget with strategic sourcing. Or, offering your mad negotiating skills to your marketing team when it's time to re-up on that agency contract. Give your target markets a chance to experience the value you provide.
4. Get social
Social media is valuable for marketers because it allows us to be where our targets are. So apply that principal to your team's promotional efforts. Get out and about. Mingle with people in other areas of the company, and find out what frustrates or confounds them. If your team can make life better make sure they know it (using tips 2 and 3).
This leads us to another principle that savvy marketers use: social listening. That means being present where our targets are and listening to what they talk about. The common problems, the frustrations, the concerns. Talking about yourself only gets you so far (usually not very…) but listening can go a long way.
So there you have it. 4 time-tested ways to market your way to greater influence. Put them into practice and let us know how it goes!

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so
don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
how cool you thought you were.
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but
life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds.
Now... think
about this and smile if you agree and

WEST ORANGE, NJ — The vendor that rents the West Orange Recycling Center has implemented an odor-suppression system in an effort to prevent the foul smell of mulch from spreading to the nearby residential neighborhood.
Reliable Wood Products installed the system in April at the request of the township, which has received complaints about the smell emanating from the site for years. Its purpose is to spray an odor neutralizer into the air whenever necessary to terminate aroma particles before they leave the center and spread to houses in the area. It is not meant to eliminate the smell completely since it cannot be avoided at the site itself.
And while Wayne DeFeo, the environmental consultant who inspects the recycling center on behalf of the township, acknowledged that no odor suppression system is perfect, he said he has not found any problems with this particular one.
"Overall, so far as I can tell, it seems to do its job," DeFeo told the West Orange Chronicle in a June 1 phone interview. "When I've been there and it's been in operation, it seems to have worked."
Reliable Wood Products did not respond to requests for comment before press time June 6.
According to DeFeo, the odor suppression system is a fairly simple technology consisting of a large, movable tank with two nozzles attached. The tank contains water mixed with a plant-based, nontoxic odor neutralizing compound. Whenever there is waste material onsite and the wind is blowing in the direction of the neighborhood — the center utilizes a windsock to tell — the system is moved downwind and sprays the odor neutralizer. Essentially, he said, the concept is similar to spraying Febreze in one's home.
DeFeo pointed out that the West Orange Recycling Center is still perfecting its usage of the system. But his inspection reports, filed after the system was put into place, show that no odor was detected offsite and only a slight odor was noticed in certain areas at the center. His 2017 reports before the system was installed showed the same results or noted no odor at all.
An April 21 inspection completed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection — the NJDEP's only examination of the center in 2017 thus far — also found no odor-related violations. A search of the department's inspections database showed only one odor-related violation in the past five years. That violation came as part of an inspection on April 2, 2016.
But Leigh-Ann Zaolino has had a much different experience. Zaolino told the Chronicle she has had to deal with the recycling center's pungent smell ever since moving across the street from the site in 2002, and she has noticed no improvement since the odor suppression system was added. Instead, she said the aroma has been as bad as usual.
"It's a very obnoxious odor, kind of akin to the smell of raw sewage," Zaolino said in a June 1 phone interview, adding that the smell affects her quality of life. "You can't even sit outside on your own deck. You can't open the windows when it's like that."
Zaolino has not been quiet about her discontent, either. Through the years, the resident has filed numerous complaints with the Essex Regional Health Commission, each prompting a responder to inspect the air around her home. According to documents she provided to the Chronicle, four of the complaints she has made since 2015 were verified by the commission — two in 2015 and two in 2016. Reliable was fined between $750 and $2,000 for each one.
Yet Zaolino also pointed out that those air tests are very subjective — basically, an inspector must judge that the smell is consistently strong for a certain period of time in order to verify the complaint. And she said wind direction plays a large role in the results. She said the wind could blow a pungent odor toward her house but, by the time the inspector arrives, it might be faint because the wind has shifted. That is why some of her other complaints, including four this year, have gone unverified, she said.
Most recently, Zaolino said she has been contacting the township and the Reliable workers at the recycling center directly with her concerns. They seem interested in what she has to say, but the resident said she is unsure if even they know how to completely resolve the odor problem. That is upsetting to Zaolino, who said she has had chronic migraines and sinus infections since moving to her house and being exposed to the center's smell. She added that she is always worried about her property value suffering as well.
Her own suggestions for fixing the issue include spreading lime at the site, which she read could fight the odor. Zaolino also said the recycling center should take in less material for mulch since she believes that would lead to less of a smell. And she thinks the township should step in to ensure that happens.
"They could be a little more proactive if they wanted to be," Zaolino said.
Scaling back on the mulching will not necessarily reduce the odor, though, DeFeo said. The consultant said wood and leaves emit a natural aroma as they break down that cannot be avoided. Taking in less of these might reduce the smell, he said, but there is also a chance that the odor will be just as noticeable depending on the materials. If he found that too much material on site was causing an issue, he said he would simply order it to be removed.
The consultant also pointed out that the state allows Reliable to have a certain amount of material at the site. Sticking to that amount has been an issue in the past, with a search of NJDEP inspection reports through 2012 showing violations in four inspections as a result of exceeding the 7,500 cubic yard limit for unprocessed material and/or the 7,500 cubic yard limit for processed material. But those violations occurred between 2012 and 2015, with no such violations listed for 2016 or 2017. DeFeo added that the recycling center is usually compliant on that front whenever he inspects the site.
Whenever DeFeo does see something he wants changed, he said Reliable is always willing to comply. Though any site is bound to have issues in need of fixing, he said the West Orange Recycling Center is actually relatively stellar.
"The center right now is in the best condition I've seen it in in 15 years," DeFeo said. "Right now it's in excellent condition."
The township is also laudable for its interest in the center, DeFeo said. Most New Jersey recycling centers are inspected only once per quarter, but he said West Orange has him check out its own site twice a month. He said he rarely deals with municipalities that are so responsive.
West Orange will continue to be responsive too, according to township business administrator Jack Sayers, who said the township is currently researching whether the odor suppression system can be expanded on the site. Additionally, he stressed that addressing the odor issue is a priority.
"We work diligently alongside of the people who are using the recycling center to try and control the odor whenever it happens," Sayers told the Chronicle in a June 2 phone interview.

Tanya Tagaq's new show uses her intense vocals, based on Inuit throat singing, to make a new musical score for Robert Flaherty's 1922 ethnographic film Nanook of the North,
But Tagaq doesn't want to bash Flaherty too much, noting that in 1922 society was more racist. "It's just how it was back then, we (the Inuit) were definitely at the back of the bus." Despite this, Tagaq doesn't doubt Flaherty's affection for the Inuit. "In fact, he was fucking one of the characters," she points out with a laugh.
Tagaq will perform tonight's sold-out show at the Yukon Arts Centre with Polaris Prize collaborators, violinist Jesse Zubot and drummer Jean Martin (who captured sounds from the Nunavut landscape to introduce into the show).
Many people don't understand but in order to ethically colonize North America on slaves and genocide, there had to be this mindset that we were beneath, that we were godless. A lot of people don't realize that's the roots (of racism). This is a chance to examine that.

Song Hye Kyo is frequently spotted in feminine dresses but she is still stunningly beautiful even when she goes casual in her recent SUECOMMA BONNIE photoshoot.
Although Song Hye Kyo turned 37 last November, she still looks nothing like her age. Dressed in casual wear and dad sneakers for her SUECOMMA BONNIE photoshoots, she can easily pass off as a university student in her early twenties.
Dad sneakers have taken centre stage in 2018 but we don't think that the trend is going anywhere soon with so many brands launching new designs and celebrities being spotted in them so often. We are especially in love with SUECOMMA BONNIE's Fullmoon sneakers that Song Hye Kyo donned. The sweet pastel shades are always a draw and the thick soles will lend some height to those who want some added inches. The front of the sneakers is slightly tapered to balance its bulkiness. If you do not like overly bulky dad sneakers, this may be the design that you have been looking for.
SUECOMMA BONNIE Full Moon Sneakers comes in 4 different colours.
The next pair that was featured is also from the Fullmoon series. The Fullmoon slip-on comes in 3 different colours and Song Hye Kyo paired hers with a military green blouse and faded black denim shorts.
The last pair of SUECOMMA BONNIE sneakers that Song Hye Kyo wore is the Memory Sneakers in minimalistic grey and white. She matches a simple black long sleeve dress with it for a casual yet classy vibe. Out of the 3 pairs of SUECOMMA BONNIE sneakers that Song Hye Kyo modelled for, the Memory Sneakers is definitely sleeker in silhouette for those who prefer a sleeker cut.

Why are so many of our churches in decline? Some reasons are easy to understand. Many churches don't live by Scripture. Some have declined because of bad decisions and others because of splits. But, more than these, there seems to be a lethargy in our churches today.
From the 1930s through the 1960s, most churches grew. But today we hear about all the churches that are closing their doors, even when they are in growing areas. I believe part of the reason may be what people hear from the pulpit — good theology (depending on your point of view) but nevertheless producing an unintended consequence.
Many pastors have said from the pulpit, "I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe God knows who will be saved and who will not." This is sound theology regarding the omniscience of God. All Christians should believe that God knows everything and is not surprised by anything. But many people could reason as follows: "If God knows who will or won't be saved, why should I pray or witness, when nothing I do will change what God already knows?"
Another statement I have heard from the pulpit or classroom is taught especially by dispensationalists: "In the end times, the world will continue to get worse until God finally gets so tired of it that He brings judgment after the Rapture." After the Supreme Court overrode our country's civil contract of morals and recognized homosexual marriage as legitimate, I heard a preacher say, "I can't wait until Jesus comes back and straightens this mess out." In his belief system, Jesus is coming back to take the church out and to judge the rest of the world. Has this become the desire of our Christian community? Have we become so callous to this world that we can't wait for God to judge the lost and send them to an eternal hell? Have our churches become fortresses of defense instead of mission refueling stations for the purpose of spreading the gospel?
For many years, my thinking was, "If people want to die and go to hell, why should I care?" I am not proud of this, and God has changed my attitude dramatically. I realized that God is waiting for His people to call on Him. Jesus said, "If I am lifted up, I will draw all men to me." He said it is His responsibility to draw all people to Himself, so why isn't He doing it? Maybe because He is waiting for us, His people, to take earnestly our responsibility to first pray for the lost, and then to witness.
When God told Moses to get away from the Israelites because He was going to destroy them and make a new nation from Moses, Moses responded by falling on his face before God and pleading for the nation. God changed His mind and spared the Israelites (Exodus 32). Does God expect any less of us as Christians than to intercede for the billions of lost in this world? Peter tells us the Lord hasn't come back yet because he is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).

Supreme Court of Rhode Island
November 17, 2017
In the Matter of Martin S. Malinou.
Petitioner: Barbara Margolis, Esq. Deputy Disciplinary
Respondent: Martin Malinou, Pro Se.
Suttell, C.J., Flaherty, Robinson, and Indeglia, JJ.
attorney discipline matter came before the Court at its
conference on October 18, 2017. On September 26, 2017, this
Court's Disciplinary Board (board) forwarded to the Court
a decision and recommendation that the respondent, Martin S.
Malinou, be suspended from the practice of law for a minimum
of ninety days and that he not be reinstated until such time
as he deposits the sum of $33, 107.33 into the Registry of
the Superior Court.
III, Rule 6(d) of the Supreme Court Rules of Disciplinary
Procedure provides, in pertinent part:
"If the [Disciplinary] Board determines that a
proceeding should be *** concluded by public censure,
suspension or disbarment, it shall submit its findings and
recommendations, together with the entire record, to this
Court. This Court shall review the record and enter an
appropriate order."
directed the respondent to show cause, if any, why we should
not impose the discipline recommended by the board. Having
heard the representations of the respondent and this
Court's Disciplinary Counsel and having reviewed the
record, we deem that cause has not been shown, and we adopt
the board's recommendation.
relevant facts as determined by the board are as follows. Ida
and Yolanda D'Amore were elderly sisters residing in a
nursing home in Cranston, Rhode Island. On February 13, 2014,
a petition to appoint temporary guardians was filed in the
Cranston probate court alleging that the sisters were no
longer competent to handle their personal and financial
affairs. On February 18, 2014, the court entered an order
appointing Donald M. D'Amore and Barbara H. Neri to serve
as temporary co-guardians over the person and the estate of
both D'Amore sisters, and the matter was continued to
determine whether the appointment of the temporary
co-guardians should become permanent.
respondent entered his appearance in the probate court
proceedings and filed an objection to the appointment of the
co-guardians, purportedly acting on behalf of both Ida and
Yolanda. After a hearing on March 8, 2014, the court entered
an order continuing the temporary guardianship in effect and
authorizing the parties to engage in discovery to determine
the financial affairs of the D'Amores. On April 19, 2014,
the respondent became aware that an account existed at a
local bank that was jointly titled to both D'Amores and
an unrelated third party. That account contained a
substantial amount of money. The respondent did not notify
the co-guardians or the probate court of the existence of
this account. On May 12, 2014, the account was closed by that
third party, and the proceeds of that account, $133, 107.33,
were delivered to the respondent, payable to him, in the form
of a treasurer's check. The respondent deposited those
funds into his client's account, which at that time
contained only a nominal amount of money. The respondent did
not advise the co-guardians or the probate court that these
funds had come into his possession.
co-guardians became aware of the existence of this account as
a result of a subpoena issued to the bank during the course
of discovery. After a hearing held before the probate court
on June 26, 2014, the probate court entered an order
appointing Donald M. D'Amore and Barbara H. Neri as
permanent guardians of the person and estate of both Ida and
Yolanda, and it authorized the guardians to recover all funds
in the respondent's possession belonging to the
D'Amores, including but not limited to the $133, 107.33
that was in his client account. Additionally, the probate
court entered an order disqualifying the respondent from
continuing to represent Ida and Yolanda. The respondent
requested that the court stay the order but his request was
denied. He did not deliver the funds in his possession to the
respondent, still purportedly acting on behalf of Ida and
Yolanda, filed an appeal to the Superior Court.[1] At a hearing
before the Superior Court on March 26, 2015, the respondent
represented to the court that those funds remained in his
client account and that he was not claiming any ownership
interest in those funds. His representation was not true.
Beginning in May of 2014, and continuing until June of 2015,
the respondent made periodic withdrawals from the account in
$1, 000 increments, payable to himself, which he then used
for his own purposes.
On May
5, 2015, the Superior Court entered an order compelling the
respondent to deposit $133, 107.33 into the Registry of
Court. On May 28, 2015, he deposited $100, 000 into the
Registry of Court, and he claimed that he had withheld the
remainder of the funds as fees owed to him by Ida and
October 23, 2015, the Superior Court found the respondent to
be in contempt of its order of May 5, 2015, and ordered him
to deposit $33, 107.33 into the Registry of Court on or
before October 30, 2015. The order further imposed a $100 per
day penalty for each day after October 30, 2015 that the
respondent failed to deposit the funds. As of the date of
this order, the respondent has not deposited the funds into
the Registry of Court.
determining these facts, the board concluded that the
respondent's conduct is in violation of Article V, Rule
1.15 of the Supreme Court Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule
1.15, entitled ...

April 20, 2015
Executive producer Daniel Cerone has once again spoke out with regards to rumors that 'Constantine' is facing the axe.
In a statement to Comicbook.com, Cerone admitted that season two is "a long shot" – but insisted that no final decision had been made.
"I just received confirmation from the corporate offices at NBC," he said. "I was assured that Constantine has not been cancelled and our pitch meeting to discuss a potential second season remains on the books.
"By the way, this is a pitch meeting involving the president of Warner Bros and and the entertainment heads of NBC. Nobody at this incredibly busy time of the development season has time to waste taking pointless meetings."
Cerone added that high production costs on the show will most likely be a factor that could count against a potential second season.
"While we marginally improved a tough time slot for NBC, we're a very expensive show to produce," he said."A lot of NBC's decision making will not doubt hinge on their new pilots and how they feel those new shows would fare as a companion piece to 'Grimm', versus a second season of 'Constantine'."

Blueberry Grass Band takes its name from the nickname "blueberries," which is given to the people of its home region, Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean in Quebec.
Every member of this six-person band has a different musical background, resulting in a group that uses a variety of instruments — string bass, guitar, violin, drums, banjo and voice.
Blueberry Grass Band has performed in 20 countries as well as on "Britain's Got Talent" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
Their limited time run ends August 26.

IBM to build quantum computing platform for drug discovery, cloud security
IBM has unveiled plans to build a commercially available universal quantum computing system, to be called the "IBM Q" quantum system.
IBM Q, which will be delivered on the IBM Cloud platform, is meant to investigate problems that are too complex for classical computing systems. One of the initial applications will be chemistry, since even simple molecules have too many quantum states for conventional computing memory and processing power, according to IBM.
"Classical computers are extraordinarily powerful and will continue to advance and underpin everything we do in business and society," said Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president of IBM Systems. "But there are many problems that will never be penetrated by a classical computer. To create knowledge from much greater depths of complexity, we need a quantum computer."
The future applications of IBM's quantum computing system might include drug and materials discovery; supply chain and logistics; financial services; artificial intelligence; and cloud security. In the case of cloud security, for example, quantum computing can use the laws of quantum physics to improve data safety.

Trinity 5 – Luke 5:1-11 – July 15th and 16th, 2017
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit +
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit +
I'm not sure if we understand just how foolish our Lord's instructions to Simon Peter, the instructions to cast out his nets, must have sounded. We are used to the story, we know what happens, so it seems so clear, but pause for a moment, and consider what Simon Peter's day had been. He had been up all night, working, toiling, for nothing. Empty net after empty net, doing nothing but hauling by hand wet, rough, net. All night long. A lousy day. And then, when he is tired – Jesus commandeers his boat, and then Jesus sits down and teaches from the boat. So after a long day of work, then you get a morning's worth of teaching – a trip to Church as it were. And then, Jesus tells Simon Peter to cast out the nets. In the daylight, when the fish would be swimming deeper to avoid the heat – when it was foolish to try to fish – which is why the fishermen had been out all night. And you can almost hear the sigh that Simon Peter must have given. Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at Your Word I will let down the nets. Tired, worn, and weary, Peter casts out the nets again. Do you know what this would be like? Imagine that one of our farmers has just finished going over a field that was a complete loss. Nothing on it. And after the service I were to say to him, "Why don't you go run your combine-thingy over that field again." A completely stupid and foolish idea. I highly doubt that any farmer would humor me on that – and as well they shouldn't – I'm not God. But Simon Peter does cast down the nets at our Lord's Word, and we know what happens – the miraculous catch of fish – miraculous in terms of size, in terms of time and timing – a number of fish that is unbelievable.
What we see here is a perfect and wonderful demonstration of a truth that impacts everything. The wisdom of God seems utterly foolish to sinful man. Plain and simple. Quite often what God plans, what God says, seems to us like sheer stupidity. This is true of both God's Law and Gospel. Consider God's Law. What does God teach us to do? Love your enemy. Put your neighbor's need ahead of your own. Turn the other check. Never take advantage of your neighbor in business deals. Always give of yourself. From the world's perspective, from the perspective of our sinful flesh, these are all utterly foolish – these have absolutely nothing to do with looking out for number 1! And when we are tempted, every temptation is nothing more than Satan slithering on up to us and saying, "Look, this stuff that God wants you to do – doesn't it just seem so foolish?" To sinful man, God's law looks foolish.
Same thing with the Gospel. Same thing with the Cross. That God Almighty would come down from heaven and suffer for the very people who spurned Him and rebelled against Him, who constantly sin and flout His commands. And more than that – the fact that the benefits Christ wins are given freely, the fact that we are forgiven for Christ's sake and that we don't have to do anything, indeed, that we can't do anything, that there is no way we could make it up to Him, and more over God doesn't even want us to think about making things up to Him – that God would say, "No, I Myself will handle this, I will take your sin from you and Crucify it Myself and restore you unto Myself." Do you see why St. Paul can say that the world views this as utter folly? It's so opposite of what the world expects. And yet, by faith, we know God's acting for what it is – the power of salvation.
Simon Peter, in that moment when he sees the nets full of fish, when he sees the wisdom of the world so utterly and completely throw upon its head, knows that he is in the presence of God. "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O LORD." Simon Peter doesn't call Jesus "Master" anymore; he doesn't just humor a slightly nutty preacher – rather, this Jesus is LORD, is God Almighty, is Jehovah. And Simon Peter knows he is a sinner, and Simon Peter knows that he's got no business being this close to a Holy God. . . by rights, by all earthly wisdom, there should be nothing for sinful man but punishment and wrath, condemnation and the curse of death, nothing but the wages of sin, the burden of the expulsion from the garden to come crashing down on Simon Peter right then and there. But again, Jesus in His utter and true wisdom decides to do something the world would see as foolish.
Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. Put away your fear. Do not worry about any punishment, do not worry about any judgment coming from Me against you. Do you hear how foolish that sounds? Why, even to American Christians – we love our fire and brimstone sermons. The most famous sermon in American History, and a classic of literature, is "Sinners in the Hands of Angry God." You can turn on the TV and hear preachers shouting until they are blue in the face about how there will be Judgment for this, for that, watch out, God's gonna getcha! And right there is one of those sinners – right in front Christ – expecting the worst – thinking the best he can hope for is that God will go and leave him alone. Think about that – Peter's only hope was that Jesus would go away. Depart from me! Yet what does our Lord say? "Do not be afraid. I'm not going anywhere – in fact, you will be coming with Me. I will be with you and you will be with Me, and I will forgive you and be with you always."
Do you see, do you understand who God is? God is no longer out to get you. God is not seeking to punish you. Why? The Cross. Every sin ever was carried by Christ to that Cross and done away with, punished in full. God's wrath was completely and fully poured out upon Christ – there's no wrath left for you, there is no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. God really and truly isn't out to get you – Christ stepped up to the Cross and took that bullet for us. And so He can say even to us today, "Do not be afraid. Know My forgiveness. Your sins can no longer condemn you, for I have borne them for you." Do you realize that, do you understand that – there is no sin that you do that can condemn you – the only thing that condemns is unbelief, is spurning the Cross, is saying, "No thank you" to God and His mercy. In Christ there is life and salvation, and apart from Christ there is not. The question isn't how good or how bad you are, what you've done bad or what good you've done to make it up. That doesn't matter before God. The question is are you in Christ?
But here is the wonder and joy that we have. God has called us to faith by His Word, we have heard the message of Christ Crucified, and by the Grace and power of God we know it for what it is – our salvation, our hope, that to which we cling. And we know how God bolsters that faith, by the gift of Holy Baptism, by the repeated preaching of that same Word, by His repeatedly giving us His own Body and Blood to strengthen us. By the fact that Christ has created His Church, has over and over called men to be fishers of other men, to cast out the Net of God's Word and Sacraments to catch and bring people into Church.
And again, this is a place where the wisdom of God is so much greater than the wisdom of men, and this is something we always need to bear in mind. I will be honest with you – there are a lot of worldly ideas out there about how to grow the church, how to "catch men" as it were. And they are creeping into the Missouri Synod – and the bureaucrats who simply sit in an office and see nothing but numbers and dollar signs, who think like worldly businessmen can take a strong, strong liking to them. Some of the stuff that comes down the pike is utter worldly, utterly stupid – treating people who don't know Jesus like they are mere consumers ready to buy something. Let's market this, let's advertise this. I've been out in the parish for 13 years, and it seems like some new plan or model shows up every 2 years, but three years later it's outdated and cliché. Utter foolishness of men. What is forgotten is that the Church of God is not a business of the world, and it doesn't run by the world's dog eat dog rules.
How does Simon Peter catch the fish? Is it because of his hard work? He'd been fishing all night and hadn't caught anything. Is it because of his wonderful plans? They had fallen flat. Was it a neat 7 step plan, or 40 day commitment to fill in the blank? Nope. But at Your Word I will let down the nets. The catch comes simple and solely because Christ said so – because of God's Word. If Simon Peter becomes a great fisher of fish by God's Word, doesn't it stand to follow that Simon Peter will be a fisher of men by. . . God's Word? And what do we see Peter doing on Pentecost? He's. . . preaching. He quotes, and then even later on ends up writing, Scripture. When he's good he's all about the Word of God. The same thing is upon us. The Church is always to be about the Word of God, Law and Gospel, and when we abandon that Word, we are no longer Church. We, as long as we desire to remain "Church", must be devoted not to our plans, not to our goals, not to what we'd like to see, not to dreams of full pews and fuller offering plates, not to how many people show up at the latest pep talk or concert that pretends it's Church – rather this. We are to be devoted solely and only to Christ and His Word, to know nothing but Christ and Him Crucified – to be in the Word and to proclaim that same Word and nothing else to others. And then we will dwell in the House of the Lord all our days. As for others, the folks out there – hopefully through our lips God's Word will work upon them – we can't force that though - the Holy Spirit works when and where He wills. However we remain in the Word, we continue to trust in His Wisdom while the world laughs at our folly – for we know God's Word for what it is, we know the Cross for what it is – the power and wisdom of God for salvation. While others will demand signs in the pocketbook and nifty plans – we will preach Christ Crucified, that stumbling block and folly to the world, and we will rest securely and comfortably in His love, His forgiveness, His righteousness. He has told us that we need not be afraid – all that remains then is for us to receive the His gifts and give thanks. O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, and His mercy to us, in spite of the blustering of the world, endures forever. In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit +

GEORGE TOWN (May 21): Finance Minister-designate Lim Guan Eng's corruption case has been postponed till July 30 for mention pending a review of the charges and its withdrawal by the new Attorney-General.
"There is a current anomaly to the status of the AG as his tenure ends in July. We would prefer the new AG to consider our representation.
"We have also submitted new evidence to the prosecution, and have instructions from our client to make comprehensive representations to the AG for the purpose of review and withdrawal of charges to our client," Lim's lawyer Ramkarpal Singh told Penang High Court Judge Hadhariah Syed Ismail.
Former Penang Chief Minister Lim, 58, is expected to be sworn-in at 5.30pm today as Finance Minister together with his former lead counsel Gobind Singh Deo, who will assume the Communications and Multimedia Minister post.
Due to Lim's predicament, the status of his case was previously unclear particularly with case fixed for continued hearing today.
Ramkarpal said two representations would be made to the AG when he or she assumes the post end of July.
"It is pertinent that this is done because the government made a statement that politically-motivated charges would be reviewed. This is one of it.
"We want the new AG to make an appropriate and a fair decision (as) the new AG would preside over the case. It not proper for the case to be heard," he added.
On June 30 last year, Lim claimed trial to two corruption charges brought by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), consisting allegations of a piece of land from agricultural status to residential, and for allegedly buying a bungalow at RM2.8 million, believed to be below market value.
Businesswoman Phang Li Khoon, 46, also pleaded not guilty to abetting Lim in obtaining the bungalow at an undervalued cost.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Masri Mohd Daud told the court he has no comment on the review of the charges.
"We are ready for the hearing but with new developments in terms of evidence, we leave it to the court (to decide) but we won't comment on the review of the charges," he added.
Meanwhile, Hadhariah said she cannot stop Lim's lawyers from making the representations to the AG based on their reasoning.
"I have no qualms about postponing the case, seeing that there are new development and representations but please let the court know if we can fix a date earlier than July 30 after your representations are made," she added.

Stripping down could up your self-esteem and overall satisfaction with life, according to a new study.
Researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London, had more than 850 Brits complete an online survey about how much leisure time they spend "fully or partially undressed" in the company of others. This could include activities like topless sunbathing, naked charity bike rides or nudist vacations with anyone other than a romantic partner.
The results of the study, which can be found in the Journal of Happiness Studies, revealed that the longer and more frequently participants "practiced" public nudity, the happier they were. Stripping down in public at least 20 times a year was found to be the optimal number for those looking to enhance their own body image.
The researchers then attended two nude-friendly events – 'Bare all for Polar Bears' at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and British Naturism's Waterworld event – and interviewed participants about their body image before and after they got naked. The findings once again showed a remarkable surge in body image satisfaction and happiness post-strip.
"The naturists have been saying this for some time," said lead author Dr. Keon West.
"However, despite a lot of positive claims, little to no empirical research has investigated whether naturist activity (rather than attitude or beliefs) actually makes us happier or, just as importantly, why it makes us happier."
West said more research is required in terms of longitudinal study designs and randomized controlled trials. It should also be noted that the majority of participants in the nude events were straight, middle-aged white men, so future studies must reflect the wide variety of sexualities, ethnicities, and ages.
In the meantime, try hitting the beach in your birthday suit and see how it makes you feel – assuming it's a designated nude beach, otherwise you may just feel arrested.

How Leaders Should Communicate 2014 Business Goals
by Sharlyn Lauby | Posted | Communication
Happy New Year! If you're like most people, you might have made a few resolutions or set a couple goals for 2014. Now, the challenge becomes accomplishing those goals.
Organizations go through the exact same thing. They set goals and then need to ensure those goals are met.
One reason organizational goals aren't realized is because they weren't communicated properly. Here are the steps you can take to communicate your business goals effectively to the entire organization.
Include stakeholders in the goal-setting process
One of the best ways to get buy-in is to include people in the process. Allow the employees most impacted by the goal to have a say. For instance, if your company is planning to implement a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy in 2014, the technology department will be affected by this decision. So you should include members from the technology team in establishing the specifics for this goal.
Dedicate the time to set business goals
Don't take the process of setting goals lightly. When an organization creates a goal, they' also saying this goal is a priority. Why set a goal for something that isn't a priority? The company should manage their priorities carefully because not everything can be a priority.
Many times, the goal-setting process is linked to budgets or annual performance reviews; but really, goal-setting can take place at any time.
Make sure goals align with the business and each other
When it comes to the point of actually conveying goals, think about presenting them in a logical format. The last thing anyone wants is for one goal to challenge another. Or - even worse - for a goal to contradict a company policy.
Address business goals that are no longer a priority
The business world is constantly changing. It's likely that goals we set in the past are no longer relevant. It could be because a goal has been accomplished. For example, a company sets a goal to reduce turnover by 10%.
Once accomplished, the company is able to celebrate its success. Ah, but is it really something to celebrate if the goal is no longer essential for business success? If this is the case, leaders must then communicate the change in priorities to employees.
Talk about business goals in two ways: new and revised
Brand new goals should be singled out and discussed at length. This is an important step because employees are not familiar with them. Leaders should explain not only the specifics of these goals but why they're a focus for the organization. Similarly, remaining business goals should also be reviewed, particularly if they have been revised in some way; leadership needs to provide employees with an explanation of the changes.
Explain how and when goals will be measured and reported
Every business goal needs to be measured. Otherwise, why have them? When leadership explains each goal, they need to share the measurement of success and the method for collecting the data. I once worked for a company that maintained a board with our success metrics; it was placed just inside the employee entrance.
Every day, employees could see how the company was doing compared to its goal. Employees told us this visual of our company's success metrics was a great motivator.
Allow employees to ask questions
After providing a thorough explanation of the company's goals, take time to field some questions. Employees might want further clarification. Don't make the assumption that questions mean employees aren't in favor of the goals. Questions can be a good sign that employees are engaged and interested. The discussion lets you know they understand.
It's never too late to communicate business goals
If you've already completed your goal-setting exercise and missed one (or more) of these steps... no worries. You can go back and close the loop.
Let's use the first example, the BYOD policy. Suppose you forgot to bring technology into the conversation. To fix the matter, have a meeting with the technology team, apologize for not bringing them in the loop, and ask for their feedback.
Or if you didn't identify the goals that are no longer a priority, at the next staff meeting mention that you want to take time to explain the reason certain goals will not be at the top of the priority list in 2014. This could be a great time to acknowledge the accomplishment of goals from previous years.
The important step is to communicate. Employees who know all about the goals of the organization can have focus and a positive impact on achieving those goals.
Your turn: What techniques do you use to effectively communicate organizational goals?

Impact of Plagiarism and F1 Visa Status (Video)
In this video, I have a simple message for students in USA and prospective students trying to get to USA.
Message is Simple
- Know the Rules. Follow the Rules.
- Don't get caught by copying your assignments.
Read the following articles
Following is taken from Indiana University
What is Plagiarism and Why is it Important?
In college courses, we are continually engaged with other people's ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others' ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.
How Can Students Avoid Plagiarism?
To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use
- another person's idea, opinion, or theory;
- any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings—any pieces of information—that are not common knowledge;
- quotations of another person's actual spoken or written words; or
- paraphrase of another person's spoken or written words.
Strategies for Avoiding Plagiarism
1. Put in quotations everything that comes directly from the text especially when taking notes.
2. Paraphrase, but be sure you are not just rearranging or replacing a few words.
Instead, read over what you want to paraphrase carefully; cover up the text with your hand, or close the text so you can't see any of it (and so aren't tempted to use the text as a "guide"). Write out the idea in your own words without peeking.
3. Check your paraphrase against the original text to be sure you have not accidentally used the same phrases or words, and that the information is accurate.
I hope you have an idea about plagiarism and ways to avoid it.
You will be instructed about plagiarism during your International Student Orientation. Pay close attentions to the section.

There are also plagiarism checking application available on the net,I don't know how much effective they are by the way. I have used them while writing my paper,and thankfully in my case it worked fine as all of the common parts were of a paper of my sir's work only and I had already acknowledged it.
BUT YEAH its a serious issue.
This is a widely discussed topic in scientific research.Thanks for the video

Our French House is open all year round.
Take the dreamy few-minute drive from the Beach House up to the hillside. French House is a massive historic home recently turned into Sugar Reef Bequia, a unique boutique hotel. Designed with antique mahogany furniture and immense private veranda, you'll get the feeling that you're living the languid Caribbean lifestyle of an 18th-century plantation owner.
The French House has:
- A Great Room with games and books to keep you busy
- A deep wrap-around veranda with a dining table, hammock, and circular sitting area
- A refreshing backyard plunge pool with lounge chairs
- A self-serve Honor Bar, complete with wine, beer, spirits, soft drinks and snacks
- A fully equipped shared kitchen where guests are welcome to cook their own meals
- Five separate en-suite guest rooms
The French House boasts commanding panoramic views of Crescent Beach, Industry Bay and the nearby Grenadines. The spacious luxury of this home built alongside nature's beauty allows you to drink in the quiet sunrises, cooling ocean winds, and blazing sunsets – characteristic of the most tropical Caribbean getaway.
Breakfast is served all year round in French House and when the Beach House and Sugar Reef Café is closed in the summer, lunch and dinner can be served on request with a view on the wrap-around veranda.
The veranda is also one of the best places to see the colorful sunrises and sunsets!
The veranda is also one of the best places to see the colorful sunrises and sunsets!
All five of the guest rooms are adorned with an eclectic selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary Caribbean-style furniture. Each room has mahogany four-poster beds, draped with nets and the sumptuous all-cotton percale linens will have you sleeping so comfortably.
The French House also has a refreshing plunge pool that can cool you off on even the hottest days in Bequia.
One of the major draws of coming to Bequia over other islands in the Caribbean is that it's very calm. The French House is a beautiful example of the kind of serene lifestyle that people used to lead in the Caribbean before there was any tourism. Our French House is built for calmness. We have puzzles, games, and books for you to entertain yourself with. That, and we have an Honor Bar on-site so you can pour your own drinks as you put the puzzles together.

AMES, Iowa – Starting trees from seed can be rewarding gardening activities, but tree seeds require a little more preparation than common flower and vegetable seeds. There are two ways to start tree seeds – the natural way, which often includes sowing the seeds in the fall, or through forced or assisted germination. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach detail germination of several common Iowa tree seeds. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
How do I germinate hickory nuts?
Hickory nuts need to be exposed to cold temperatures and moist conditions before they will germinate. (The cold-moist requirement is referred to as stratification.) The cold-moist requirement can be met by planting the nuts in the ground in fall. Plant the nuts .75 to 1.5 inches deep.
The cold-moist requirement can also be accomplished by placing the nuts in a moist mixture of sand and sphagnum peat moss and then storing them in a cold, 33 to 40 degree Fahrenheit location. Suitable containers include coffee cans, small plastic buckets and food storage bags. The refrigerator is a good storage location. The nuts must remain in the refrigerator for 90 to 120 days. After the nuts have been properly stratified, they can be removed from the refrigerator and planted outdoors in spring.
How can I germinate buckeye seeds?
The seeds of buckeyes and many tree species will not germinate until they are exposed to cold temperatures and moist conditions for three to four months. Outdoors, winter weather provides the necessary conditions to break dormancy. Gardeners can stratify seeds indoors by placing the seeds in a moist 50:50 mixture of sand and sphagnum peat moss. Suitable containers include coffee cans or large plastic jars. Punch holes in the lid of the container to provide air circulation. Stratify the seeds by placing them in the refrigerator at a temperature of 31 to 41 F for 120 days.
Plant buckeye seeds directly outdoors in fall or stratify seeds indoors over winter and plant in spring. When planting, place seeds 1 to 2 inches deep.
How can I germinate redbud seeds?
Redbud seeds have hard, impermeable seedcoats and dormant embryos. The seedcoats must be broken and dormancy overcome before redbud seeds can germinate.
The seedcoats on redbud seeds can be broken by submerging the seeds in boiling water for one minute. Dormancy can be overcome by subjecting the seeds to moisture and cold temperatures for a specific period of time. Place a small amount of moist, coarse sand in the bottom of a small plastic container or coffee can. Place the redbud seeds on the surface and then cover with additional moist sand. Punch two or three small holes in the plastic lid and then place it on the container. Place the container in the refrigerator for five to eight weeks. (The temperature should be 35 to 41 F.) After the cold-moist requirement has been met, remove the seeds from the refrigerator and plant indoors. Using a commercial potting mix, plant redbud seeds .25 to .5 inch deep. Keep the potting mix moist until the redbud seeds germinate. If the stratification period is begun in mid to late winter, the stratified seeds can be sown directly outdoors in spring.

Richter transformation: chronic lymphocytic leukemia to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Started hematologic follow-up for CLL two years ago. New-onset cervical lymphadenopathy for the past several weeks. Lymph node biopsy confirmed Richter transformation to diffuse large cell lymphoma. The treating hematologist requested neck-chest-abdomen CT before commencing with R-CHOP therapy.
Patient Data

- parotid glands infiltrated by many lymph nodes, some enlarged
- prominent cervical lymphadenopathy in all stations, large conglomerate in right parapharyngeal space with hypodense foci, most probably necrosis
- enlarged left pharyngeal tonsil

Previous abdominal CT preceding current study by 1 year and 9 months (done for CLL follow-up), included for comparison.
Case Discussion
Started follow-up two years ago for a clinical and laboratory picture of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Did not require a specific treatment.
Several months ago, hospitalized due to unexplained new-onset anemia, lymphocytosis was gone, transient aggravation of lymphadenopathy. Accepted workup was done, with the working assumption that the cause was an intercurrent viral infection. New cervical lymphadenopathy for the last few weeks.
Pathology report, cervical lymph node biopsy:
Macroscopic description: Segments of grey flexible tissue measuring 3X2.5X1.5 cm overall.
Microscopic description: Lymph node showing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, non-germinal center type. Tumor cells were positive for CD20, MUM-1 and BcL-6, and negative for CD5, CD10, BcL-2, and CD23. The proliferation index (Ki-67 stain) is about 80%. C-myc stains about 30% of tumor cells. In addition, peripheral salivary gland tissue (non-involved) is present.
On the current CT study, the lymphadenopathy is far more striking than on the previous one and reflects the patient's diagnosis.
Richter transformation denotes development of aggressive lymphoid disease, usually high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in patients with CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) is a very important person (VIP) in our nation at the present time because he appears to stay true to conservative principles. I have watched him during congressional hearings several times and have been impressed with him. He protects and defends our Constitution and American way of life like a pit bull. He is feisty and direct as well as being knowledgeable; he sounds as though he could care less about being politically correct. I like him!
During the House Oversight Committee Hearing on excessive conference spending by the IRS, Congressman Gowdy gave a passionate opening statement. In his statement, he said the institution has a character problem that isn't going to be "solved with another webinar" and that it may be time to "start over."
At a congressional hearing on the SAFE Act, Congressman Gowdy discussed the reasons why state and local law enforcement should be trusted to enforce our nation's immigration laws.
Numerous Democrats have made statements in recent months about the demise of the GOP and the possibility of never winning another presidential election if they do not pass an immigration law. Congressman Gowdy obviously is not worried about the views of left-leaning politicians because he recently commented as follows.
"I was moved, almost to the point of tears, by Senator Schumer's concern for the future prospects of the Republican Party, but we're going to not take his advice.
"The Senate bill is not going to pass the House. It's not going to pass for myriad reasons. I support immigration reform; I think the current system is broken. But our framers gave us two legislative bodies, and I assume that they did it for reason.
"The House runs every two years with the theory that we will be closer to the will of the people. So, under the assumption that the framers meant to give us two legislative bodies and a House of Representatives with 435 members, we are going to work our will, like we have been doing for the past weeks. We have passed four separate bills out of House Judiciary and an additional bill out of Homeland Security. We're making progress, and we will continue to do so. I'm more interested in getting it right than doing it on Senator Schumer's schedule.
Congressman Gowdy continued by discussing various ways that Washington should approach the issue of immigration. Watch him in action here.
I believe that Trey Gowdy is a man we can trust to protect our Constitution and to stand up for us. I also believe that he is a man that we should watch closely to see that he stands firm on conservative principles.

As part of the Tax Reform that became effective on January 1, 2014, the Mexican Congress passed a series of amendments to the Federal Tax Code with the purpose of modernizing and facilitating the compliance and enforcement of tax obligations. Such amendments gave tax authorities a tremendous surveillance power over taxpayers, which we believe is contrary to human rights of privacy and legal certainty.

Polysemic senses of weight in Chilean Spanish
This paper presents an analysis of the polysemic senses of lexical items related to the conceptual domain of weight. This study is set within the framework of cognitive lexical semantics, where lexical items are assumed to constitute natural categories of related senses, which are organized in polysemic networks by cognitive principles such as metaphor, which motivate relations among the different senses (Taylor, Cuyckens and Dirven 2003). In this work, we assume that the inferential principles, properties and elements of the concrete experience domain (source domain), are projected upon other more abstract domains (target domains). Such projection makes metaphorical senses possible (Lakoff and Johnson 1980). Thus, in Spanish, apart from the senses in the physical dimension, the lexical items within the domain of weight have senses in other domains, for example, importance, unpleasantness and responsibilities. Polysemic lexical items are analysed taking into account their systematic relations with other elements which co-occur in certain syntactic patterns.
Following an approach based on use, we used the reference Corpus of current Spanish for Chile as presented by the Real Academia Española (CREA). The analysis undergoes the following stages: 1) description of the experiential motivation, e.g, image schemas that idealize experiences related to weight; 2) creation of an exhaustive list of corresponding lexical items; 3) search for data in the corpus of CREA; 4) organisation of polysemic senses in syntactic patterns; 5) description of conceptual metaphors.
This study shows that experiential motivation allows explaining the relationship between groups of senses. In this paper we refer to two of them: carrying an object and having weight. The schema has participants that are realised with certain syntactic functions within a construction. This enables to explain, on the one hand, the systematic relationships between senses corresponding to different lexical items. On the other hand, it allows explaining the polysemy of each item.
Keywords: weight, polysemy, conceptual metaphor, syntactic patterns, Chilean Spanish.

The Winery Dogs are an American rock supergroup formed in New York City, New York, United States, in 2012 by Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan and Richie Kotzen.
The idea of the band started out as a project featuring drummer Mike Portnoy and bassist Billy Sheehan, who were aiming to form a power trio rock band with a lead singer/guitarist as the frontman. After an aborted project, tentatively titled Bad Apple, with guitarist/vocalist John Sykes, talk show host Eddie Trunk heard about it and suggested Richie Kotzen, who has previously played with Sheehan in the band Mr. Big from 1997-2002, to take the spot.
The three musicians got together at a studio in Los Angeles and at the end of the jam session, they had a few skeletons of songs that would appear on the debut album. After their first album success, they released a live concert DVD called "Unleashed in Japan 2013: The Winery Dogs." [1]
Prior to the Winery Dogs, all three members have had successful careers with other bands. Richie Kotzen is known as former member of bands Poison and Mr. Big, as well as having a consistent solo career with many albums released. Billy Sheehan is known for playing with Steve Vai, David Lee Roth, Talas, and Mr. Big. Mike Portnoy is known for being the original drummer of bands Dream Theater, Flying Colors, Transatlantic, Neal Morse Band, Sons Of Apollo and Adrenaline Mob.[1]
When asked about the band's main influences, Mike Portnoy commented that they are working towards a classic rock sound, influenced by Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, as well as newer artists such as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, the Black Crowes and Lenny Kravitz.[2]
The band's self-titled debut album was released in Japan on May 5, 2013 through Victor subsidiary WHD Entertainment, with a worldwide release following on July 23, 2013 through Loud & Proud Records.[3] It was produced by Jay Ruston. It features 13 songs and they switched out the song "Time Machine" with the song "Criminal" for the Japan Edition.
In June 2015, the band entered a studio around Los Angeles to record their second album.[4][5] In a July interview, Portnoy said the album was about to begin mixing that month, and it should be released before they begin their October tour.[6]
The Winery Dogs' second album, Hot Streak, was released on October 2, 2015.[7]
The Winery Dogs also have a band clinic in the summer called Dog Camp. This camp allows musicians and fans to come meet, jam with and learn from the Winery Dogs. Not only does it include individual clinics, but it also incorporates a band setting as well.[8]
In April 2017, it was announced by Kotzen that Winery Dogs were taking a break. Kotzen was quoted as saying the band were 'still friends', however, and it's likely there will be more releases from them in the future.[9] The band performed the song "Elevate" at a tribute for David Z, bass player for Adrenaline Mob, who died in a car crash.
On December 5, 2018, Mike Portnoy announced that The Winery Dogs would go on a one-month tour of the U.S. in May 2019.[10]
