The Jingpho people or Kachin people (Burmese: ကချင်လူမျိုး; MLCTS: ka. hkyang lu. myui:, pronounced: [kətɕɪ̀ɴ lù mjó]; Chinese: 景颇族; pinyin: Jǐngpō zú; also Jingpo or Singpho; endonyms: Jinghpaw, Tsaiva, Lechi, Theinbaw, Singfo, Chingpaw1) are an ethnic group who largely inhabit the Kachin Hills in northern Burma's Kachin State and neighbouring areas of China and India. The Jingpo form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China, where they numbered 132,143 people in the 2000 census. The Singpho constitute the same ethnic identity, albeit living in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, an area also controversially claimed by China.
The Jingpo people are an ethnic affinity of several tribal groups, known for their fierce independence, disciplined fighting skills, complex clan inter-relations, embrace of Christianity, craftsmanship, herbal healing and jungle survival skills. Other neighbouring residents of Kachin State include the Shans (Thai/Lao related), the Lisus, the Rawangs, the Nagas, and the Burmans, the latter forming the largest ethnic group in Burma, also called Bamar.
Two different categorization schemes complicate the terms Jingpo and Kachin, which also operate as political geography terms of British origin.
In one form of categorization, a variety of different linguistic groups with overlapping territories and integrated social structures are described as a single people: the Jingpo or Kachin. In another form of categorization, the native speakers of each language in the area are treated as distinct ethnic groups. Both schemes treat the Shan people who live in the same or contiguous areas as ethnically distinct. Jingpo people have frequently defied the Western expectation of lineage-based ethnicity by culturally "becoming Shans" (Leach 1965).
British colonial Burma
In British colonial Burma, Kachin people were categorized by the Census as separate different "races" or "tribes" according to languages, including Jingpo, Gauri, Maru, Lashi, Azi, Maingtha, Hpon, Nung (Rawang), Lisu, and Khamti (Shan). Other officials, missionaries, and the local administration recognized them as a single ethnic group (Leach 1965:43ff). In the early independence period, the Burmese government recognized the Kachin people as an overarching category.
Present-day Burma
The current Burmese government views the Kachin people as a "major national ethnic race" comprising the Jingpo, Lisu, Trone, Dalaung, Gauri, Hkahku, Duleng, Maru (Lawgore), Rawang, Lashi (La Chid), Atsi(zaiwa), and Taron as distinct ethnic nationalities.[1]
The people classified as the Jingpo in the broader sense speak at least five different languages, Jingpho proper, Zaiwa, Maru, Lashi,Nung(Rawang)and Lisu.
Jingpo proper (spelled Jinghpaw in Burmese) is spoken by 425,000 people in Burma and by 40,000 people in China. It is classified as Sino-Tibetan, Tibeto-Burman, Kachin–Luic. Jingpho proper is also understood by many speakers of Zaiwa. The standard Jingpo language taught in China is based on the dialect of Enkun.
Zaiwa (also spelled Tsaiwa; called Atsi in Jingpo proper, Zǎiwǎyǔ 载瓦语 in Chinese, and Zi in Burmese) is spoken by approximately 80,000 people in China and 30,000 people in Burma. It is classified as Sino-Tibetan, Tibeto-Burman, Yi-Burman, and Northern Burmic. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a written language based on the dialect of the village of Longzhun (in Xishan district in Luxi county) and using the Latin alphabet was created and officially introduced in 1957.
Before American missionaries came to the area comprising the modern Kachin state, the majority of the Kachin were Animists. Some worship various gods as well as the spirits of their ancestors. The ancestor of all the Jingpo, who is worshipped as a spirit or god, is held to be named Madai. Jingpo Animists believe that spirits reside everywhere, from the sun to the animals, and that these spirits bring good or bad luck. For the Jingpo, all living creatures are believed to have souls. Rituals are carried out for protection in almost all daily activities, from planting of crops to warfare.
Nowadays, most Jingpo people are Christians. There are also small groups of Animists and Buddhists.4
Jingpo dwellings are usually two stories and built out of wood and bamboo. The houses are of oval form; the first floor serves as a storage and stable while the second is utilized for living quarters. Women often dress in black jackets with silver decorations. They also wear wool skirts made in bright colors. The men often wear black and wide pants, covering their heads with turbans: the youths with white turbans and the adults with black turbans.
The Jingpo ancestors lived on the Tibetan plateau and migrated gradually towards the south. At their arrival to the present province of Yunnan, the Jingpo were referred to as Xunchuanman. The Jingpo are likely related to the neighbouring Qiang.
During the 15th and 16th centuries the Jingpo continued migrating to their present territory. They have received diverse names along the centuries: Echang, Zhexie, and Yeren, the latter name which was used in China from the Yuan dynasty to the formation of the People's Republic of China in 1949. During the British colonial period, some tribes were well integrated into the state while others operated with a large degree of autonomy. Kachin people, including those organized as the Kachin Levies provided assistance to British, Chinese and American units fighting the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II.
Following the end of World War II and Burma's independence from Britain, long standing ethnic conflicts between frontier peoples such as the Kachin people and the Burman-dominated central government resurfaced. The first uprising occurred in 1949. The uprisings escalated following the declaration of Buddhism (which is not practiced by the Kachin people) as a national religion in 1961. However, Kachin people fought both for and against the government during most of the ethnic conflicts. Kachin soldiers once formed a core part of the Burmese armed forces and many stayed loyal after the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO) with its military wing, the Kachin Independent Army (KIA) was formed in 1961. After Ne Win's coup in 1962, there were fewer opportunities in the Burma Army for Kachin people. Much of Kachin State outside of the cities and larger towns was for many years KIO administered.
The KIO formed alliances with other ethnic groups resisting the Burmese occupation, and later despite its non-communist stance along with China informally supported the Communist Party of Burma (CPB), which held strategically sensitive parts of the country vis a vis the Kachin positions. The KIO continued to fight when Ne Win's dictatorship was succeeded by another incarnation of the military junta in 1988 called the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). However, with a gradual withdrawal of Chinese support, in 1989 the Communist Party of Burma soon disintegrated into warlord led groups that negotiated ceasefire deals with the junta. This led to the KIO being surrounded by organizations effectively aligned with the SPDC. It was squeezed by redeployed battalions of the rearmed and ever growing Burma Army, and constantly urged to make peace by a civilian population suffering from years of warfare. In 1994 the KIO chose to enter into a ceasefire with the junta.
The ceasefire delivered neither security nor prosperity to the Kachin. With the end of hostilities the Burma Army presence has increased considerably, along with allegations of atrocities against the civilian population, including forced labour and rape.
High demand from China is currently encouraging logging-based deforestation in the Kachin region of Burma. (Kahrl et al. 2005; Global Witness 2005). Increasingly impoverished, some Jingpo women and children are drawn into the sex trade in Thailand, China and Yangon (KWAT 2005).

The Greenville City Council is expected Tuesday to continue discussions regarding condemnation proceedings on a utility easement, needed in order to install a water line at the western edge of the city.
The Council is scheduled to consult with City Attorney Daniel Ray in executive session about the issue, as part of Tuesday's regular agenda starting at 6 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 2821 Washington Street. A work session is set to begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The Council also convened in executive session June 25, with one of the items to be considered being potential condemnation proceedings for a 30-foot utility easement on approximately .151 acres on the south side of the Interstate 30 service road between Monty Stratton Parkway and State Highway 34.
The Council later returned to regular session and voted unanimously to exercise eminent domain authority pertaining to the property in question.
Under eminent domain, a government entity exercises legal authority to require a private landowner to sell his or her property for public use, through condemnation proceedings. The governmental entity is required to pay the landowner just compensation.
The name of the owner of the property targeted by the city has not been revealed.
Interim City Manager/Director of Public Works Massoud Ebrahim said the process was being utilized in order for the city to install a 12-inch water main in order to serve the area roughly bounded by Monty Stratton Parkway, Coyote Crossing and FM 1570, based on a comprehensive water distribution study completed as part of the 2008 update of the City of Greenville Master Plan.
Britain Chevrolet recently broke ground on the upcoming Britain Chevrolet Cadillac dealership, which is to be built at the intersection of the Interstate 30 eastbound service road and Monty Stratton Parkway. The company intends to build a 17,000 foot, $3.5 million facility on about seven acres at the site. The project is expected to be completed by late this year or early 2014.
Should the Council take any action concerning the executive session item it would return to open session to do so.

Book Details Infighting Between Idaho Rep And GOP Leaders
Originally published on Tue April 24, 2012 2:41 pm
A new book coming out Tuesday contains an inside account of Idaho Congressman Raúl Labrador's conflict with ranking members of the House. The Washington Post reports the book details the rift between GOP leadership and freshman Republicans pursuing a Tea Party agenda.
The book in question is "Do Not Ask What Good We Do," by Robert Draper. In it, Draper chronicles infighting between the GOP old-guard and the freshmen class of Republican House members that helped the party gain a majority in 2010.
According to the Washington Post, Draper found that the House leadership struggled to get the new-comers to "fall in line." Meanwhile, the freshmen House members -- including Raúl Labrador of Idaho -- became frustrated with what they saw as a lack of support for the small-government platform they campaigned on. The author says at one point during last summer's impasse over the debt ceiling, Labrador suggested ousting House Speaker John Boehner.
Labrador declined to be interviewed about the book. But in a written statement, he said that he was critical of senior rank-and-file GOP members. He says they encouraged House leadership to "punish" new members who didn't conform. But Labrador says in the end, the GOP leadership did not side with what he calls the Washington Establishment.

Why 20,000 Well-Dressed Guests Took Over Disneyland for 'Dapper Day'
For lovers of fashion, history, and a bit of good fun, there are plenty of "throwback" events in the year's social calendar. These primarily happen on the east coastfor example there are vintage baseball games and NYC's summer-favorite Jazz Age Lawn Partybut sometimes the west coast gets in on the retro fun as well.
Case in point: Dapper Day at Disneyland. The event began in 2011, with a few hundred amusement park-goers donning their best vintage duds to enjoy Disneyland the way Walt Disney envisioned it: with families dressed in suits and skirts instead of fanny packs and cargo shorts. Now, Dapper Day attracts around 20,000 (the "dapper" folk nearly outnumber regular visitors) in the one day, and it's spread to include the Disney parks in Orlando and Paris.

Copy Kate Upton's 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue' Zero-G Flight for $4,950
It's that time of the year already, when the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue brushes all other magazines off the racks to grab attention with barely bikini-covered boobs, and of course Page Six is all over the hijinks that occurred during photo shoots.
Aside from the models jetting off to exotic destinations like the Matterhorn in Switzerland, the hidden sand dunes of Brazil, and remote beaches in the Cook Islands, cover star Kate Upton was launched into "space" onboard the Zero-G parabolic trainer aircraft to simulate a gravity-less environment. Upton rode the Boeing 727 through multiple maneuvers and changed into various gold swimwear designs, without loosing her stomach, to complete one of the more elaborate photo spreads in the magazine.
Typically Zero-G requires their guests to wear navy flight jumpsuits and pay $4,950 per person for the experience, but we're sure Kate didn't have to worry about these trivialities. To get onboard yourself, Zero-G has upcoming flights available in Miami, Houston, Austin, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Philadelphia.

This is the Worst Airport Outfit of All Time
So, a couple months ago while walking down Oxford Street in Sydney, our attention was momentarily grabbed by a store sporting nothing but onesies in the window. Surely there had to be more to their retail concept? But no, it was, in fact, "One Piece," a brand and entire worldwide chain of stores dedicated to bundling up the adult population like nappy-wearing infants. We only hoped we'd never witness onesies supplant Juicy Couture track pants as a trend in airplane attire.
Turns out we're hoping against hope, since a girl of questionable fame was recently caught by the paparazzi at London-Heathrow emerging from baggage claim in what is simultaneously the world's most comfortable and least appropriate travel outfit. And it's not the first time; shePerrie Edwards of UK girl group "Little Mix" and fianc� of one of the One Direction boyspulled a similar look at Glasgow Airport.

One Perfect Present: A Tiny Toiletry Ideal for Dopp Kits
There's so much crap travel gear out there that, all this week, we're wading through the muck to feature travel items truly worth giving as gifts. Every day, we'll feature one item we personally love and recommend and think you need in your travel life.
This present idea is divided into two, one for a guy and one for a gal.
For him: So LUSH Cosmetics, a company that makes much more than cosmetics, has these super cool things called "shampoo bars." Instead of relying on the iffy quality of hotel shampoo or messing with packing your own 3oz container of hair wash, throw one of these small, solid bars into your luggage.
There's 10 different bars, each with a distinctive scent and purpose. For example, our favoritethe campfire-scent "Soak and Float"works to soothe irritated scalps and banish dandruff. Other bars address thinning hair, oily scalps and tangled tresses. Keep them in a tin for easy grab n' go.

One Perfect Present: An All-Purpose Travel Hat Handmade in the USA

Don't run to the nearest Target the night before a trip to buy whatever woven synthetic topper "will do for now." A small investment in a custom hat, which is actually also an investment in the survival of a classic New York City business, is the answer.
Thanks to the impulsiveness of milliner Satya Twena and her brilliant Kickstarter campaign, the Makins Hats factory in Midtown Manhattan is coming back from closure, in time to save the collections, the American-made equipment, hat shapes dating back to the 1930s, and even the jobs of the skilled staff.

Luggage may be a popular graduation gift, but any walk through the airport makes it abundantly clear that some travelers haven't upgraded since. Every year brings new technology and materials for staying under weight limits while enduring everything a baggage handler can throw, and lately we've been very impressed with one such new-fangled line of luggage in particular: Samsonite CURV.
Not everyone can afford ribbed cases of Rimowa (prices for which hover around $1,000 a case), but take it down a few hundred dollars and there's Samsonite CURV's "Firelite" and "Cosmolite" cases in the same class of durability and style.

One Perfect Present: A Frequent Flyer-Approved, Handmade Leather Case
There's so much crap travel gear out there that, all this week, we're wading through the muck to feature travel items truly worth giving as gifts. Every day, we'll feature one item we personally love and recommend and think you need in your travel life.
In a small leather shop in Colorado, "in a town full of wildlife nestled against Rocky Mountain National Park," there's a small company named SkyTop Trading. It's the type of manufacturer whose merits spread by word of mouth, and they'd like to keep it that way; each item is handmade by craftsmen of quality saddle leather with the promise that "it will outlast you."
We first spotted a SkyTop briefcase on our friend, Sid, who commutes half-way across the United States to then travel half-way around the world on business. He's a frequent flyer for his day job as well as in his free time, piloting his 1962 Beechcraft Bonanza. Every mile of the way, that gorgeous SkyTop is in-hand or on his back.

Spotted: Qantas' Flashy New Flight Attendant Uniforms
We last shared the news back in April, how Qantas plans to revamp their flight attendant uniform to modernize the look and, possibly, turn heads while cruising around airports. The official launch isn't until December, but some cabin crew have been test-wearing them for a few months now.
On a recent flight on the Red Roo, we caught a flash of fuchsia whizzing by our seat and realized it was a new uniform, in the wild. Then we saw it as she turned the galley corner; the navy shift-dress with pink and red highlights and matching neck scarf.
We briefly got the lowdown on what our attendant thought of the new Martin Grant-designed uniform and she had nothing but positive praise for the look, with the exception of the Trilby hat, which is a bit too hot for summer months.
Keep an eye out for the new duds on Qantas flights this month, and absolutely in December when the fresh uniforms become standard. After seeing the new uniform coupled with perfect hair and makeup, all we can say is (Trilby) hats off to Qantas!

The US State Department gives a ton of photo examples for both bad and good passport photo-taking practices, but they don't address the important questions, like, "can I double down on the Applebee's margaritas the night before my photo?"
And this, reader, is why we're here to help. Without further ado, our top tips on looking good in your passport photo:

Hit The Hague This Winter for Museum Exhibits Like 'The Chanel Legend'
Just because the leaves are falling doesn't mean it's time to write Northern Europe off the itinerary. On the contrary, for it's in the colder months that the colder cities unveil their cultural treasures with special museum exhibits, such as the one debuting tomorrow at Gemeentemuseum Den Haag in the Hague, Netherlands.
Running from October 12, 2013 through February 2, 2014, The Chanel Legend is an exhibition on Coco Chanel's most iconic designs and a retrospective of "little black dress" designs. While the focus is primarily on the rise of the House of Chanel in the early half of the 20th century, there's also reflection on Karl Lagerfeld's modern-day build of the brand into the 21st century to become what is it now: a legend.
A few more details, straight from the museum:

Travel Gift Idea: Engrave a Beloved Latitude and Longitude onto Jewelry
As much as we hate to say it, now is the time to begin buying holiday gifts�specifically those which require some extra time for customization. Now comes the difficult part: what exactly to get for someone who "has it all," or "has been everywhere?"
We've had our own eye on simple, metal jewelry stamped with the latitude and longitude of a special place. Google Maps can easily provide that information, and handmade-focused sites like Etsy are chock full of expensive and inexpensive options, from leather cuffs with tiny pewter plaques, to engraved necklace pendants and this unisex ring.
For example, a friend went this route to commemorate the very location she made a life-changing decision and literally changed course. She now wears a bracelet to remember to keep moving forward, even if it's actually away from that specific spot.

Jeep with Thule Hullavator Kayak Rack

2012 Ford Flex with low profile Inno Shadow 15 cargo box
8 03 2012Rack Attack in Denver recently outfitted a 2012 Ford Flex with a low-profile, aerodynamic setup for carrying skis, snowboards, and other cargo.
72-inch tracks were custom installed on the roof of the vehicle, and Whispbar S16 crossbars with the K450 track fit kit.
In addition to the tracks and WhisperBar load bars, we installed the Shadow 15 cargo box. The Shadow 15 sits only 10.4-inches above the crossbars, making it one of the lowest profile cargo boxes available on the market today. Even though the Shadow 15 is low profile, it still gives plenty of room for skis, snowboards, camping gear, and other equipment.
Thule tracks, WhispBar S16, K450 fit kit, and the Inno Shadow 15 cubic-foot capacity cargo box

Audi S4 WhispBar base rack and FatCat 6 ski rack
2 02 2012Here at Rack Attack, we pride ourselves on outfitting our customers with not only functional racks, but ones that just plain look good, too. We custom mounted a WhispBar base rack on this Audi S4 and added a Yakima Fat Cat 6 ski carrier to it as well.
We custom mounted the base rack on this S4. That means that we can do the same on your vehicle, even if it doesn't have any factory mounting points! For this particular vehicle, we used a Whispbar S3 with a K323 fit kit. WhispBar is a subsidiary of Yakima, and so it carries the same warranty as Yakima products!
Speaking of Yakima products, here is a closer view of the Fat Cat 6 on top of the vehicle. This particular rack can hold up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards. More than enough for you and your buddies' trip to the resort.
Rear 3/4 view of the ski rack
Overall, this is a great rack on a great car. Low profile, quiet, sleek, and most importantly…useful.
Stay tuned for more of Rack Attack Denver's adventures!

2012 Audi A4 Whispbar Custom Rack
1 02 2012This brand new 2012 Audi A4 is outfitted with the latest and greatest from Yakima.
This system is using our custom track (TP42) system with the Whispbar S4 Flush crossbars and FitKit K450. These aluminum bars have a great aerodynamic shape that eliminates wind noise which used to be a huge downfall of roofracks. Being made from aluminum will also reduce corrosion and eliminate rusted bars.
Combining this bar technology with the custom track system provides you with the strongest, most versatile, and best looking system available. The track system boasts a weight limit of 165 lbs. and a bar spread adjustable up to 40″. Keep posted for more fun racks!!

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Treasure Coast commuters have a new car pool option with a St. Lucie County-based Park & Ride lot.
A 34-space lot at the County Administration Complex is designed to allow workers from St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River and other area counties to share rides into Fort Pierce and points beyond, said transit coordinator Corine Williams.
"One of the things, when we were looking for a parking lot, was it has to be close enough to a major thoroughfare or interstate," Williams said of the existing county lot at 2300 Virginia Ave. "This is close to U.S. 1 to the east and (Interstate) 95 to the west and 25th Street nearby; it's central enough to those main roadways."
A bus depot is being designed for the site as well, she said.
About $3,800 worth of signage, paid for by the Florida Department of Transportation, went up in early August, Williams said. No other expenses were incurred since the spaces are in an existing lot.
The idea to create a Park & Ride is the result of a study done by an FDOT-contracted consultant that determined it was needed to meet future traffic needs, Williams said.
"It's going to be a growing need as the population continues to change," she said. "We have people definitely transitioning to the older years and younger people who need to go to school, plus the price of gas all is an indicator that transit is really going to be needed."
In the future, a decal will be provided by South Florida Commuter Services, an FDOT program that encourages people to consider alternate commuting patterns to traveling alone and to save money while carpooling to work.

Report of men with guns sends Laconia schools into lockdown
Laconia Police and a New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit responded to the report for a search of the area, but no trace of the men was found.
Laconia Police Capt. Matt Canfield said the lockdown followed the report of the sighting by a school administrator at 1:18 p.m. He said the lockdown ended shortly after the normal dismissal time for the schools.
Canfield said the men were described as white, one wearing a black T-shirt and the other wearing a white sweatshirt with red lettering.
The investigation is continuing and anyone with information concerning the incident, or who saw the two men, is asked to contact the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or Laconia Crimeline at 527-1717.

Cybercrooks bring their schemes to Tumblr and Pinterest
Social networks have long been a target for cybercriminals, but now the bad guys are expanding their horizons.
Malware writers are aiming at such hot social networks as Tumblr and Pinterest to trap a new wave of victims, says a report out yesterday from GFI Software.
"Established sites like Facebook and Twitter have long been a breeding ground for new cyberattacks, but now we are seeing scammers taking an interest in the popularity of newer sites like Pinterest in order to catch victims off guard and trick them into clicking on something they shouldn't," Christopher Boyd, senior … Read more

ABSTRACT: Josamycin formation was shown to be closely associated with the degree of mycelial growth. Media using glycerol or glucose were slight in josamycin accumulation. However, the mycelial growth and product formation were interrupted in the course of the fermentation. The self-resistance level of the producing organism against josamycin was shown to be not higher than 1 mg per ml. In media using fatty oil, the organism grew smoothly and gave a concentration of josamycin at least 5 times higher than the self-resistance levelMost of the josamycin was distributed in the oily phase of the broth. The josamycin concentration of the water phase of the broth was less than the self-resistance level, except in the later period of the fermentation. Unsaturated fatty acids remaining in the broth were found to be the best extractors of josamycin. It was concluded that the enhanced josamycin accumulation of this fermentation resulted from the removal of the product inhibition.Journal of Fermentation Technology 01/1988; 66(5):559-565. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Streptomyces fradiae was cultivated in both an air-lift bioreactor and a jar-fermentor with various agitation rates from 200 to 800 rpm to investigate differences in neomycin production between the two reactors. Final neomycin concentrations in the jar-fermentor operated at 600 rpm and the air-lift bioreactor were 3.19 and 1.39 g/l, respectively. On the other hand, levels of soybean oil consumption in the two reactors were 25.9 and 9.4 g/l, respectively. Shear stress due to mechanical agitation caused changes in the morphology of mycelia and influenced neomycin production. The morphological changes of the mycelia in the jar-fermentor caused the viscosity of the culture broth to decrease by half, and soybean oil consumption and fatty acid uptake rate to increase 3- and 1.8-fold, respectively, in comparison with those of the air-lift bioreactor. The product yield coefficient determined from the level of soybean oil consumption in the air-lift bioreactor was similar to that of the jar-fermentor at 600 rpm, but the neomycin yield was less than one-half. In the case of the jar-fermentor, the yield increased with increasing agitation rate and was maximum at 600 rpm. To maximize neomycin production in S. fradiae cultures using soybean oil as sole carbon source, it was necessary to provide a degree of shear stress to the mycelia and to optimize liquid mixing. In an air-lift bioreactor, the soybean oil consumption may be suppressed due to a low degree of liquid mixing.Journal of Fermentation and Bioengineering 01/1995; 79(5):443-448. -
Article: The effect of dissolved oxygen and aeration rate on antibiotic production of Streptomyces fradiae.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Different dissolved oxygen concentrations and aeration rates were imposed on a stable mutant of Streptomyces fradiae during the antibiotic-producing phase. At high aeration rate (1 vvm), the tylosin yield in the fermentor broth with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations controlled close to 100% saturation (6-8 ppm) increased 10% as against uncontrolled. The rates of cellular growth, oil consumption, and tylosin production were severely reduced when DO concentration fell below 25% saturation, but all resumed to their initial rates when DO was raised to saturation level again. The DO concentration in combination with air flow rate affected the pattern of the antibiotics produced. At high DO levels, an additional macrolide antibiotic, macrocin, was synthesized to more than one-third the amount of tylosin at high aeration rate (1 vvm). On the other hand, tylosin production rate remained constant and no significant amount of macrocin was produced at low aeration rate (0.2 vvm).Biotechnology and Bioengineering 04/1991; 37(6):591-5. · 3.65 Impact Factor

Get to know the everyday people who share their personal vacation planning advice and their Disney Parks experiences.
Trying to find out if the parks are open later during the week of Christmas or if they have the extended hours at all? Also, what it the weather usually like?
Hi again thanks for the great advice and I have one more ?. Do they show wishes in December or is it a holiday fireworks show like at the MVMCP? You guys are great at this stuff. It's our first time coming in December. Thanks Faith
Myself and a group of Friends are planning on heading to Disney in the middle of November but we want to see it all decorated for Christmas, when do you think its best to visit in November to get the most decorations???
When do the holiday crowds thin out? Thinking of changing dates for Dec.25-29 to Dec.31-Jan3. Are the holiday parades still going then? decorations up? I 'm wondering if it's worth the change. I know it's a little cheaper,too. you always help me decide.
My family of 5 will have our 1st WDW trip over the "crazy busy" time of Spring Break/Easter. I was wondering where I can find any planned Easter activities for the parks and or our resort (POR). We leave the day after Easter. THANKS.

Announcement/reminder: "Health" is not a counterargument to the existence of thin privilege. Nor is "health" a reason to discriminate against fat (or any) people.
Dear fatphobics—
I'm not moderating this blog to give out prizes to people who've been successfully socialized by healthist moral crusaders, nor shall I pander to their ignorance.
The modern notion of 'health' (and especially 'public health') is utter bullshit. Wake the fuck up instead of spreading your bigot-poison on activists trying to make actual positive fucking differences in people's lives.
I know healthism has socialized you to police the so-called deviants of the 'obesity epidemic' moral panic (fat people, people who don't/can't run/walk 'enough' or in the right way, people who don't eat 'healthy,' poor people, people from the 'wrong' genetic and social backgrounds).
I know that you've internalized healthistic oppression, and may even be undergoing an intense 'health' regimen as a way to earn a place of superiority in the paradigm — so you might have a lot invested in maintaining the narrative.
I don't care why you have so much invested in marching lockstep with healthist crusaders. You're a bigot, you're wrong, and your words and ideals are hurting people (not helping them). Every single time you pre/append "For your own good!" to your bigoted deviant-policing spew, you're no better than the legions of moral crusaders who came before you, and who made it their life's work to prop up oppressive social institutions far worse than sizist discrimination. You might just be a larval bigot, but the same hate feeding full-grown bigots also feeds you.In summary: back the fuck off and leave the activism to people who are at least trying to open their eyes to the unpleasant realities of our modern fucking society. Stop trying to invade every single space that doesn't align with the conformist bleats of your flock. I understand that you're afraid. Actual Fucking Activists pose an existential threat to people like you. That's why you're so quick to try to undo any positive work we do. But we're onto you. And we're never, never going to let your rank hate and fear dilute our message. No matter how loudly you bleat.
Interrogating healthism is important for activists and fatties as well. If anyone is interested in engaging in a critique of "health," here are some books I've read and found useful, enjoyable, important, and cool. I'm happy to recommend more books on my reading list, interrogate health via tumblr or email, and explain science jargon in everyday language.

Here, MythBusters star Adam Savage builds a "fish flapper" contraption that he thinks can be used to yank a dead fish, or some sort of imitation dead fish, up and down to simulate the flapping effect the MythBusters want to investigate. Here, as he works in the MythBusters' main shop in San Francisco on February 27, Savage is filmed by a cameraman. The footage will be used in the episode--which will air sometime in July--to show the process of creating the fish flapper.

[Miami, FL] With all of the ups and downs the Miami Heat have been experiencing as of late – punctuated by that horrific loss against the Boston Celtics – the boys were eager to get a win at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Complicating things, however, was the fact that Dwyane Wade was sitting this one out with a knee injury, so Shane Battier filled in for him. Heat Head Coach Erik Spoelstra also made another line-up change by putting center Ronny Turiaf in the center position for Joel Anthony.
"It certainly at all isn't an indictment on Joel Anthony," Spoelstra said diplomatically. "We still need to iron some things out and he'll still be a big part of what we're doing."
Against Boston, LeBron James scored 23 points, but it seemed as if he was quiet the whole game. But things were different against the 76ers, as he played loud, and seemingly no one could stop him.
James and Mario Chalmers dominated in the first quarter, with King James leading the pack with 12 points and 2 rebounds. Chalmers contributed great all-around play with plenty of superb passing to go along with his 8 points and 2 assists.
Both teams stayed within a two-point window, until Miami finally went up by 6. But the 76ers fought back. At the end of one, the Miami Heat were up 29-27.
Miami Heat get a much-needed win against Philadelphia
Philadelphia – led by Evan Turner – came at Miami hard in the second. The visitors sparked an 11-4 run, with all 11 of those points courtesy of Turner. From there on, only four more players were able to score for Philadelphia, and none of them scored more than 4 points. At halftime, the 76ers were up 54-51.
LeBron & Co. took the lead back from Philly in the third quarter. James scored 8 points and had 2 assists. Chalmers also contributed, pouring in 7 points. At the end of three, the Heat were up 76-70.
In the fourth, James again rose to the occasion, scoring 15 points and playing great defense on Turner, who has shown the ability to score at will unless pressure is applied. Pressure was applied. At the end of the game, the final score was Heat 99, 76ers 93.
LeBron James had one of those all-star nights, scoring 41 points and grabbing 6 rebounds. Mario Chalmers also played big, scoring 19 points and handing out 4 assists. Chris Bosh scored 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting.
Coach Erik Spoelstra was impressed with Shane Battier, not because of his 4 points, but because of his leadership.
"What he really brought us, stability," Spoelstra said. "We needed his voice and his leadership in the huddle in the first half. His voice allowed us to stay the course and get ready for a strong second half."
