The Great He-Goat (Witches' Sabbath) — Goya
Incantation — Goya
Goya's Witch/Clergy Axis (Robert Hughes)
In a disguised way, Goya in the Caprichos drew a parallel between witchcraft and the activities of the clergy. He stressed the resemblance between witches and friars in their obedience to the hierarchy of their calling, the younger deferring to the older. In plate 47, Obsequio al maestro ("Homage to the master"), an apparently senior witch looks down with stony disdain at another, who ois offering her (or him) the gift of a dead baby; the supplicant's gesture reminds one of a groveling postulant kissing the cardinal's ring. "Es muy justo," runs the Prado text: "This is quite fair, they would be ungrateful disciples who failed to visit their professor, to whom they owe everything they know about their diabolical faculties."
Plate 46, Correccion ("Correction"), shows a group of brujos, male witches, as seminarians, consulting "the great witch who runs the Barahona seminary" — whatever that institution may have been. Of course, Goya could not be too explicit about this: on the other side of any public criticism of clerical practices lay the ever-watchful eye of the Inquisition, which Goya had to be at pains to avoid.
—From Robert Hughes's biography Goya.
Cézanne: A Life (Book Acquired, 10.09.2012)
I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to find a big ole biography of Paul Cézanne on my doorstep. I probably won't get to Alex Danchev's Cézanne: A Life anytime soon (at least not until I finish Robert Hughes's Goya bio), but it looks like a pretty solid read—with lovely glossy pictures to boot:
In the meantime, check out Evan McMurry's full, in depth review at Bookslut.
Or, if you're too busy, here's the Kirkus write up in full:
A formidable biography of the Father of Modern Art bound for the annals of academia.
Danchev . . . has researched every facet and nuance of Paul Cézanne's life (1839–1906). His comfortable childhood in Provence, his years in Paris, where he was influenced by the Impressionists, and his dependence on the allowance from his father created the artist some suggested was "not all there." There is a wealth of information in the correspondence between the artist and his childhood friend, Émile Zola, in which they parodied Virgil, joked in Latin and discussed Stendhal. Zola knew that Cézanne's art was a corner of nature seen through his own curious temmpérammennte. The artist didn't paint things; he painted the effect they had on him. He saw colors as he read a book or looked at a person, understood the inner life of an object and let his brain rework that object, sometimes illuminating it, sometimes distorting it. Danchev rightly subscribes to the theory that understanding the man is important to understanding his work, and he attempts to parse Cézanne's psyche, digging into the background of nearly every author he discussed in his letters, quoting every writer who based a character on the man. Cézanne's work will influence artists and confuse patrons for decades to come, especially those who have the patience to study Danchev's comprehensive, occasionally ponderous tome.
A fairly impressive achievement of a Sisyphean task—definitely a book to keep in your library.

Robert Hughes's Goya Biography (Book Acquired, 9.21.2012)
I'd been wanting to read a biography of Goya for some time now. For a few years now, his art has come occupy a strange space in the back of my subconscious mind—all the pain and violence and horror of it. Maybe it's all the Roberto Bolaño I've been reading. I'm convinced that if you want to understand Bolaño it helps to have Goya as a visual referent. Also, I cut up an oversized Italian collection of color prints from Goya to hang in my office, so they're always kinda in my visual field.
Anyway, last week I went by my favorite local used bookstore to pick up a copy of W.G. Sebald's After Nature that they'd kindly ordered for me and went through the biographies as well to find something on Goya. There were at least half a dozen, but the recently deceased Robert Hughes's was the most beautiful and most recent, and its opening captivated me: In the first chapter, Hughes describes how a near-fatal car crash in 1999 unlocked the Goya study that he'd been wanting to write for years. The scene unfolds as a bizarre prolonged fever dream, a horrifying narrative informed by Goya's asylums and bullfights, with the strange layer of modern airport slathered on top.
I've read the first 150 pages since then. Hughes's writing is crisp and the text is rich; Hughes builds a slow case, arguing against Goya's reputation as a radical but also highlighting the artist's powers of pathos (not to mention his skill, both raw and refined). Hughes had me hooked with the following paragraph, which could also stand in as a simple description of a decsonstructionist theory of identity:
Goya was in some ways the greatest of all delineators of madness, because he was unrivaled in his ability to locate it among the common presences of human life, to see it as a natural par t of man's (and woman's) condition, not as an intrusion of the divine or the demonic from above or below. Madness does not come from outside into a stable and virtuous normality. That, Goya knew in his excruciating sanity, was nonsense. There is no perfect stability of the human condition, only approximations of it, sometimes fragile because created by culture. Part of his creed, indeed the very core of his nature as an artist, was Terence's "Nihil humanum a me alienum puto," "I think nothing human alien to me." This was part of Goya's immense humanity, a range of sympathy, almost literally, "co-suffering," rivaling that of Dickens or Tolstoy.

SAP Java Connector for Pentaho Announced
Version 4.0 gets an open source plugin
The Aschauer firm in Vienna has announced an open source SAP Java connector plugin for the data integration components of the Pentaho version 4.0 business intelligence suite.
The new SAP connector will go into the next version 4.0 of the Pentaho Data Integration Community Edition as a plugin. It allows Pentaho's software for business intelligence (BI) to call up SAP's Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI). A user can thereby integrate the BAPI into Pentahos' extract-transform-load (ETL) process to get to the SAP data. ETL is a method to transform extracted data of various formats to fit operational needs on a target database or data warehouse. On the SAP side, explains Aschauer EDV GmbH, the user integrates the SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo), which is available free with every SAP system installation, into Pentaho. Integration will also require a GUI for bringing in SAP functions and parameters.
The data integration components, which have recently come out in a preview to version 4.0, belong to the open source multi-module Pentaho framework. The framework includes the BI suite as well as components for data mining, reporting, analysis, and various admin and user dashboards. Pentaho is under GPL and available in cost-based and community versions (see a comparison). Aschauer provides support and further software development services, among them for Pentaho (based in Orlando FL). Aschauer's managing director Bernd Aschauer says, "We are proud to contribute to the community. It allows businesses who run SAP a larger degree of independence."

" Ok, here are my pokemon, Pidgey, Charmander go." I said and as I finished two flashes of light appeared and Pidgey, who did not look at all well, appeared first, and after that Charmander who looked a lot better than Pidgey did, came out and walked up to Nurse Joy.
" Ok so these are your pokemon. Let me take them in back and heal them to full health. Just so you know this does not cost anything, so just wait here while I heal your pokemon." As she finished she walked into the back with Charmander and Pidgey following her after I had assured them it was going to be all right. After about 5 minutes Nurse Joy came back out followed by a very health looking Charmander and Pidgey following close on Charmander heals. "Here are your pokemon, thank you for visiting the Viridian city pokemon center. We hope you have a good day and come back frequently to heal these two wonderful pokemon. If you need to access your pokemon account you can use that P.C over in the corner with no extra charge."
" Thank you Nurse Joy. I appreciate you healing my pokemon I really do. Pidgey had just been caught and looked a little weak. I am sure my pokemon appreciate it too.. Right guys? "
Charmander replied with a appreciative growl, while Pidgey replied with an appreciative chirp. " Well shall we get going?" I asked the pokemon, and they nodded their heads in agreement. So I pulled out a pokeball and recalled Pidgey so we could walk a little faster. As Pidgey diapered into the pokeball, Charmander and I walked out of the center and over to the pokemon mart. Before we walked into the shop I counted how much my mother gave me. " Wow, she gave me more than I expected, $1200. Jeeze I need to remember to pay this back when I earn a lot more money." I said more to myself than to Charmander. I walked into the store with Charmander following me and walked up to the counter.
The shop clerk greeted me cheerfully. " Hi, oh you must be a starting trainer. For a very limited time we have a starter package that has all of the basics, including 50 pokeballs. It currently costs $750. Would you like to buy this special item for a discounted price? It would originally cost about $14,509."
Wow, I thought to myself that is a good deal. " Charmander, should we get this?" Charmander growled his agreement. "Yes we would like to get the starters kit for $750. We would also like to buy an additional antidote just in case. Just out of curiosity, how much of the other stuff is in the starters kit?" I asked the clerk.
" Well there are 50 remedies such as paralyze heal, burn heal, awakening, potion, ice heal, revive, and antidotes plus there is 1 master ball, 25 great balls, 25 ultra balls, and 5 of each of the evolution stones. Also there are 5: HP up, Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, and Carbos. Plus 5: x attack, x defend, x speed, x special, x accuracy, guard spec, and dire hit. And as a bonus we will ad in a TM28 which contains dig." The shop clerk replied.
" Well in that case I don¡¦t need the extra antidote. But I will still take the beginners package." I replied and counted out $750 to give to the store clerk.
" Here you go then, that will be $750. We hope you enjoy the rest of the day and get some good use out of the beginners package." The store clerk said and handed over a huge package that required me to sort out and put into the appropriate pockets in my bag. I handed over the money and took the package. I sat down outside in the grass and sorted out my package.
After that was done I recalled Charmander into its pokeball and headed back to Pallet town and over to my friends house. On the way I met some more pokemon. First I came across a Rattata. It attacked me and I threw my pokeball in the air and yelled, " Charmander I choose you." Charmander appeared in a flash of light. " Charmander use your scratch attack." And in a fast movement Charmander attacked the Rattata. For its first move Rattata used tackle. It barely hurt Charmander. "Charmander use your scratch attack." And once again Charmander attacked Rattata and I figured it was time to use a pokeball to capture Rattata. I threw a pokeball at the pokemon and in a flash of light Rattata disappeared into the pokeball. After a while the pokeball stopped shaking to indicate that it has been caught. " Yes! I caught my second pokemon. " I pulled out my Pokˆmdex and plugged in information on Rattata.
" Rattata a ground type pokemon. Commonly found in most areas. Rattata has a tendency to bite first and ask questions later. Caught on May 3, 1997 at 11:15 Pm. Health: poor get it healed at a pokemon center." And a picture of Rattata appeared on the little screen. I walked back up the road to Viridian City to get my pokemon healed. I walked into the center and let out my pokemon so they can go to the back with Nurse Joy and get healed. Pidgey and Charmander were used to this routine but Rattata had to be reassured a little bit. After a while Rattata finally went into the back room with the other pokemon to get healed to full health.
" Thank you for visiting." Nurse Joy said as she came out with my pokemon. " We hope you have a good day and we hope to see you later."
" Thank you Nurse Joy. Rattata, Pidgey, Charmander return." And in a flash of light they disappeared into their pokeballs. I headed out the door and back to the nearest patch of grass.
After about 5 minutes a Bulbasaur appeared. "Hmm. It¡¦s a grass type pokemon. That should come in handy when I battle Brock. I have heard that he uses ground/rock type pokemon so a grass type will be a good addition to my party." I pulled out a pokeball, "Go Charmander!" I yelled, and Charmander appeared in a flash of light. "Charmander use your scratch attack." And with relative speed it attacked the Bulbasaur. "Good work Charmander. Now lets try scratch again." I said and he complied. Finally I thought that its health was low enough to try catching it. I got a pokeball out of my bag and threw it at Bulbasaur. It shook a couple of times and then stopped to announce its capture. "Yes!" I exclaimed. " Bulbasaur your mine." I pulled out the Pokˆmdex and it accounted the information on Bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur, a grass type pokemon. Lives in tall grassy areas to conceal it from onlookers. Found mainly in Viridian City. Evolves at level 16 into Ivysaur. Health is poor get it healed at pokemon center. Height 2'4" weight 15 lbs." The Pokˆmdex reported.
I looked down at Charmander to give it thanks and found that it had gained 4 levels to come to level 9. "Wow! Charmander you¡¦re getting stronger. I think that you are about to evolve." I told it. Just a few moor battles should make it evolve into Charmeleon. We walked to the pokemon center to get them healed.
" Why hello there. It's nice to see you again." Nurse joy said.
" Hello Nurse Joy. My pokemon need to be healed again. Would you mind?" I asked her as I released Bulbasaur, Pidgey and Rattata.
" No, not at all. It will only take a few minutes. Please follow me." She said to the pokemon and they followed her.
After about 5 minutes they came back. All of them looked like they were revived and ready to go. "Thank you Nurse Joy. You are so good at this my pokemon don¡¦t even look as if they had once been sick or hurt." I complimented her.
" Why thank you Nathan. It is my pleasure and passion to help and heal pokemon. I do it for fun. It makes me happy to see the trainer, and pokemon, appreciate my work. Well I hope to see you again sometime. Oh, I had noticed that your Charmander is about to evolve. In this stage of its life, it needs to be taken care of more and watched for illnesses. If you need further assistance on taking care of him just let me know. I¡¦m sure that we can work out a deal to help Charmander evolve into Charmeleon successfully. Well I will let you go so you can train your pokemon some more. I will talk to you later Nathan, the next time you come in. Just remember to frequently heal your pokemon at any pokemon center. I have sisters in each of them who look exactly like me and they are also named Joy so please be as kind to them as you were to me. I hope to see you again some time Nathan. For now have a good trip and take good care of Charmander and the others too. Well later." She said.
" Yeah I will talk to you later Nurse Joy. Thanks again for healing my pokemon. I really appreciate it. Well see you later."
" Ok Nathan well talk to you later." And as she finished I recalled my pokemon and set off to the nearest patch of grass.. I thought that if I made my team stronger before going into Viridian Forest I would have a better chance of getting through unharmed by other pokemon. This time I went to route 22 instead of route 1. I figured that I could meet other type of pokemon. After a while of wandering aound that patch of grass, I meet a Nidoran¡ð.
to be continued.....

Professor David Orr and his students, Oberlin College, June 2012. "Hope," he often tells them, "is a verb with its sleeves rolled up." | Photo by Raymundo Garza
Orr's view of hope during an age when the parts per billion of carbon in the atmosphere is approaching catastrophic levels is not unlike his view of patience: Both are practical values. "It's a tough time to be a teacher," the professor says. "Kids' hormones tell them to be optimistic. The numbers tell them differently." So he has taken a lesson from E.F. Schumacher, author of Small Is Beautiful and A Guide for the Perplexed. "Schumacher said that if you ask, 'Can humankind survive?' and answer no, people become despondent. If you answer yes, they become complacent. So instead, [Schumacher] says, 'Get down to work.'" With the school's bell tower chiming in the distance, we step beneath a big carport covered with solar panels. A much bigger, 3-megawatt solar array will come online by the end of summer. It will help the college meet its goal of weaning itself from coal-fired energy in three to five years. Using geothermal, gas cogeneration, and efficiency measures, the school and the town are aiming to become carbon neutral by 2025. Ecotopia, as it happens, struck me as didactic and sappy—awful, actually. Yet there's no denying that 40 years after the book's publication, the future it predicted is beginning to blossom, at least fitfully, in little Oberlin. As he wheels his red Prius onto a side street, Orr says that he met Callenbach a few times and that he "hadn't thought of the connection." Maybe that's because the Oberlin Project, unlike Callenbach's naive fantasy, is "hugely pragmatic," he says. A moment later, he points out an abandoned supermarket and says that the project team is twisting the arm of a local organic-grocery owner, trying to persuade him to take it over. Then he shows me an elementary school that will be rebuilt along the lines of the environmental studies building and talks about plans to expand the definition of education in Oberlin to include classes in which local builders, welders, farmers, and craftspeople will share their skills. When I raise the antique-shop owner's concern that the plan will cost locals money, Orr responds with a fusillade of data about funding mechanisms, including investments, tax credits, and bonds. He says that switching to clean energy and job-generating policies will actually save the townsfolk money almost immediately—as if that matters, he might have added, given the massive economic hardship that climate disruption is about to foist on people everywhere. Before dumping me back at the inn, Orr points out a cylindrical edifice that once housed the town's coal gas but is now on the brink of becoming a museum to celebrate Oberlin's role as an Underground Railroad crossroads. He recommends a book about a pivotal moment in local history. It tells the story of the Oberlin abolitionists who got wind that bounty hunters had captured several runaway slaves, surrounded the jailhouse, and refused to leave until the captives were released. The book, he says, is called The Town That Started the Civil War. Orr has met enough journalists to know that we are skeptical, averse to being spun. So he stops short of connecting the dots between this historic event and his emerald dream. Still, I'm pretty sure he knows he has planted a narrative seed, figuring I won't be able to resist ending this story with a pointed reflection about how the course of human events just might possibly be changed by a few brave souls embracing a bold vision. Cunning man, Orr.

Coronation Street star Jane Danson revealed that she was not surprised that Leanne Barlow reunites with Nick Tilsley.
Viewers will see the couple get back together after Nick (Ben Price) confesses that he has never stopped loving Leanne.
Danson told Digital Spy that she understood why Barlow would want to go back to her former love.
She is quoted as saying: ""Well, after everything that's happened with Simon and Peter, Leanne is just craving stability and a normal family life - and I think she sees this as an opportunity to get that.
"Nick has got his business, he's got a secure place to live, and he loves her.
"On paper, it's all perfect. But the question is whether Leanne is just settling for him, or whether she actually loves him in return.
"That's going to be the main issue as they move forward."
She added: "We've not really seen Leanne and Nick together since the affair, as she got her head down and tried to make a go of things with Peter. But as soon as everything fell apart with Peter, I suppose it was inevitable that Nick would be hovering in the background."

Occupation(s) | Composer, musician, producer |
Years active | 1992–present |
Website | http://www.jameshannigan.com/ |
James Hannigan (born 1971) is a British film, television and video game composer who has composed music for entries in the Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Command & Conquer, Dead Space, Warhammer, RuneScape 3 and Grand Prix series of games.[1]
Early game credits include Sim Theme Park, Space Hulk, Conquest: Frontier Wars, Wing Commander: Privateer 2: The Darkening and Freelancer. He has created and remixed tracks for numerous titles on the EA Sports label, along with creating scores for the BAFTA-nominated titles Evil Genius and Republic: The Revolution. Hannigan also composes for television, most recently contributing to BBC America sci-fi TV series Primeval. Some of his recent VG credits include Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Twilight, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Art Academy and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In the earlier stages of his career, between 1995 and 1997, Hannigan held the position of in-house composer at Electronic Arts, before he based himself at the world-famous Pinewood Studios complex in West London for a number of years. Some of James Hannigan's other credits include Theme Park World and Theme Park Inc, along with Elixir Studios' Evil Genius and Republic: The Revolution. An accomplished sound designer, Hannigan also worked on films such as Lost in Space in the earlier stages of his career.
Hannigan's music scores have been nominated five times by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and he won a BAFTA Award with Electronic Arts in 2000 for Sim Theme Park (UK title: Theme Park World). In 2010 his score for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince received a BAFTA nomination[2] and won an International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA) award.[3]
Public and media appearances[edit]
A regular on industry panels at events such as Games Meet Film at Pinewood Studios,[4][5] James Hannigan is a regular radio interviewee and has been interviewed several times by the BBC, Classic FM and Sky News, and has been profiled in Develop magazine, Audiomedia, Resolution, Post Magazine, Game Informer, Music Sound and the Moving Image (MSMI) and other publications.[6] In 2010 Hannigan was featured in Tom Hoover's book 'Soundtrack Nation: Interviews with Today's Top Professionals in Film, Videogame, and Television Scoring'.[7] James has talked at other industry events, including Glasgow's Musicworks, 'Ear Candy' with fellow composer Richard Jacques at The Barbican Centre and The Edinburgh International Festival with co-panelists John Broomhall, Harry Gregson-Williams, Stephen Deutsch and Barrington Pheloung.
Game Music Connect[edit]
James Hannigan is the co-creator of the Game Music Connect conference held in London at the Southbank Centre's Purcell Room.
Written publications[edit]
In 2004, Hannigan wrote "Changing Our Tune", a cover article for the UK's Develop magazine, outlining some of the differences between scoring for games and conventional linear media forms such as film and television.[8] Drawing on his experience as a composer and arranger in different industries Hannigan argued that, due to players being both audience to and participants in games it is increasingly difficult categorising music and sound as either diegetic or non-diegetic as understood by the conventions of the film viewing experience. The player, often a character existing inside the gameworld, is able to hear music and sound normally only reserved for a passive audience, completely inaudible to characters in the story world of a film, for example, and this raises philosophical questions as to the essential function of such content in games. Hannigan argues that, ultimately, for sound and music to best support and enhance the games playing experience, the games industry should cease to rely on the film model in forming the soundtrack of games and attempt to bring sound and music closer together in function. In an interview for the BBC's Front Row radio programme, to highlight one of the philosophical conundrums of scoring music for games, Hannigan cited the hypothetical example of James Bond's theme being utilised in a James Bond game, suggesting that if the player is being expected to assume the role of James Bond, should it follow that the James Bond theme ought to be audible to James Bond himself? Hannigan appears to concede that the use of such a theme can be effective but calls upon the games industry to recognise the gamer's dual role of audience and participant in games.[9]
In an interview with the Independent newspaper, Hannigan is quoted as having said he believes music production for games has become as sophisticated as music for film[10]
Public performances[edit]
In 2007, a collage of Hannigan's music entitled Welcome to Hogwarts[11] was added to Video Games Live debuting in London at the Royal Festival Hall on 22 October 2007, and featuring the Philharmonia orchestra.
Hannigan's 'Soviet March' theme from Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 was performed at 'A Night in Fantasia', by the Eminence Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Australia on 26 September 2009.[12] The popular track can be heard on YouTube.[13]
On 28 October 2010, a concert of Hannigan's music was held at St. Mary's Church, Nottingham, England. As part of the GameCity 2010 Festival, the concert featured The Pinewood Singers and soloists performing the theme of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1', pieces from Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Evil Genius and other titles[14]
On 29 June 2012, Hannigan was interviewed in front of a live audience at the Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room by presenter Tommy Pearson, as part of the BAFTA Sponsored event 'Conversations With Composers'. The event featured an overview of the composer's work and live performances from soprano, Tamara Zivadinovic.
Live recording[edit]
Hannigan has worked with the Philharmonia Orchestra, The Skywalker Symphony Orchestra, The Slovak Symphony Orchestra and The Chamber Orchestra of London, recording at Abbey Road Studios, AIR Studios and Skywalker Ranch.[15] He has recorded renowned soloists such as Miriam Stockey, Soname, Tony Hinnigan and the Pinewood Singers for his projects.[15] On his official website he is quoted as saying he is 'comfortable in the studio working with synths, processors and sample libraries' but is also an 'advocate for keeping music live whenever it's possible and appropriate to do so'.[15]

MEDFORD, Ore. – Millions of people are diagnosed with skin cancer every year and the uninsured and under-insured are not exempt; that's why Community Health Center is holding free skin cancer screenings.
The screening is looking for uninsured or under-insured patients, who have fair hair and skin, who have a history of tanning bed use or grew up in a sunny location.
Dr. Margo Herron, a screening clinic volunteer, explained that people with lighter skin and lighter hair colors are more likely to get a skin cancer or to have an abnormal legion, which needs to be biopsied sooner rather than later.
Jan Anderson is a local resident who was diagnosed with melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Her concerns over the cost of diagnosis and treatment kept her from getting screened in the first place, which is where the Community Health Center's free skin cancer screening last year came in to help.
The screenings are a couple weeks away, but you need to book your appointment immediately. To do so, call 541-414-8592. The free screenings will happen on October 4th, 10th, and 16th, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Community Health Center on Myrtle Street in Medford.

Regulatory sequences derived from the rat whey acidic protein gene have been used to preferentially overexpress a murine 172Arg-->Leu mutant p53 in the mammary gland of transgenic mice. Several different lines of mice expressing the 172Arg-->Leu mutant p53 displayed an impaired ability to lactate, and the mice expressing the highest levels of mutant p53 were unable to nurse their young. This failure was related to the inhibition of normal lobuloalveolar development that occurred during late pregnancy and a marked decrease in milk protein gene expression at early lactation. Interestingly, immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the mutant p53 was localized predominantly in the cytoplasm of alveolar cells. Ductal development was not overtly impaired in these mice. Expression of the 172Arg-->Leu mutant p53 resulted in radiation-induced apoptosis, and transactivation or repression of the expression of a number of genes, including mdm-2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, known properties of wild-type p53. The availability of lines of mice preferentially expressing specific p53 mutants in the mammary gland should facilitate evaluation of the roles of other factors, such as hormones, oncogenes and chemical carcinogens, in the etiology of breast cancer.

Something to strike fear into the hearts of passengers who check bags in.
Italian authorities 18 months ago, installed hidden cameras at several airports across Italy. Police then viewed over 2,000 hours of footage taken by these cameras. The footage showed Alitalia baggage handlers deliberately picking luggage locks, cutting open suitcases and stealing money, electronics, jewellery and other items. One employee was taped while attempting to break into a suitcase by stabbing it multiple times.
Take a look:
The Italian National Police arrested 86 Alitalia employees as a result of the footage. The thefts occurred on board Alitalia planes and in areas designated for loading and unloading passenger luggage.
What can you do to protect yourself?
- Buy travel insurance
- Don't check bags in. Reduce the stuff you carry
- If you do check bags in, know what is in them
- Put things in your check in bag that you can buy or replace easily. Clothes, toothbrush, toiletries etc
- Never ever put jewellery, electronics, medicines, credit cards or money in your bag. Never. Carry those on board
- Read 5 again
- Choose a lock for your luggage that meets security standards so your lock is not cut open by security personnel
- I am not convinced about sealing baggage in plastic
- keep your carry-on luggage within the limits so you don't have a bag taken from you at boarding
- In case your carry-on may be checked in, have a bag inside a bag which you can take on board with your valuables in it
- Bury your wallet, keys and other valuables in your carry-on so someone has to tip your bag upside down to find your stuff
- Do not put your carry-on above you but opposite you across the aisle so you can see them
- Putting your valuables at your feet may not be as safe as you think
- Don't put your valuables in your seat pocket. Ask your airline how many cell phones are left on planes?!
- Before rushing off the plane, take a mental check that you have your wallet, phone, keys, passport with you

Joey said,
Also, don't use your Louis Vuitton or designer brand luggage! I'd think Alitalia baggage handlers may have targeted those types of bags (if the luggage itself is expensive, imagine what goodies must be inside!)
FlyFlyer said,
I just flew back from Florence (to another location in Europe) and my luggage lock is mysteriously destroyed, like someone stuck something in it to pick it. I can no longer set the numbers as they are permanently stuck. Not alitalia, btw.
I follow rule #5 religously, so I am only out a lock.
Charles said,
I once waited out a 4 hour delay in JFK chatting with a young uniformed employee. When the jet was finally towed to the gate for boarding the employee explained what her job was. She supervised luggage handling on behalf of the well known Asian airline to protect the passengers from JFK luggage handlers run amok.

The closed Whit Hart pub in Rocklands near Attleborough. Photograph Simon Parker
By Adam Gretton
Sunday, October 7, 2012
The owners of a closed Norfolk pub have warned that they may submit an application to turn it into a private home, if a buyer can not be found soon.
The White Hart in Rockland All Saints is the subject of a community campaign for villagers to buy and reopen the inn, near Attleborough, after it was shut two years ago.
However, Sally-Ann and Binz Leeder, who bought the building in 2006, said they may submit a proposal to Breckland Council to turn the pub into a house after the district council rejected plans for three new homes on land behind the building earlier this year.
The couple are set to hold clear the air talks with locals after being invited to speak at a parish council meeting next month and are calling residents to support them to allow the White Hart to be reopened.
Mrs Leeder said they may submit new plans for homes at the rear of the premises in the The Street, if local people got behind the scheme, or look into turning the inn into a private home.
"We have run a fairly successful village pub, but did not make any money out of it. We got most of our trade from outside the village with a sprinkling of the village supporting us."
"We are trying to build three houses at the back to clear our mortgage so that we can put some new windows in and build an extension to make it more upmarket and give local people more community facilities, which is what they want," she said.
Breckland Councillors refused the couple's homes plans in May because they were outside the settlement boundary for Rockland All Saints and the development was out of character for the area.
Mrs Leeder added that no one had met their £380,000 asking price for the pub over the last two years. She added that the parish council meeting on November 12 may help to find a new way forward.
"We have no ulterior motive, we want to move on. We have to live in one room, which is not licensed and we have lived there for two years. The village want the pub open again and we want to move on. We can not afford to give it away."
"We will see what happens on November 12, but we may have to make an application to turn it into a house and we do not really want to do that. I have been in the trade for 30 years and it is heartbreaking," she said.
The White Hart was first established in the late 18th century and was rebuilt in 1930 after a fire.
The Rocklands White Hart Community Association was formed a year ago to try and buy the freehouse as a community-run establishment. The community association is inviting people to submit pledges at £250 a share.

As a musician who plays in local pubs I hear this so often... 'the villagers don't use the pub...its outsiders who come'..WHY ?? The 'local' should be the heart of a village to bring people together..(along with the village church. Sadly it is the old say 'Use it or lose it'. we are seeing too many pubs closing and our way of live changing PLEASE support your local !!! if only for a couple of drinks a week. You might meet some new friends (we have)

My So-Called Secret Identity a Female-Friendly Take on Superhero Comics
- Posted by Johanna on March 8, 2013 at 4:18 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
Will Brooker (writer), Sarah Zaidan (cover artist & colorist), and Susan Shore (interior artist) have launched a new issue-format webcomic called My So-Called Secret Identity. They're promoting it as a female-friendly alternative to sexist superhero comics, with funding on a donation basis. There are five issues planned in the first of at least three story arcs, and they've raised the money for three so far.
Like Brigid Alverson, I have qualms. (Do NOT read the comments at that link! Idiot fanboys immediately feel threatened when you bring up how off-putting many superhero comics are to women.) She's right about the vertical panels being a poor choice for an online comic — I have a portrait monitor and I was still scrolling.
I also agree that I'd rather see a work promoted on what it IS, not what it isn't. It's easy to say "those other books are bad because… and I'm not like that", but instead, be positive about your work. What are your strengths? Without enough content about what you do (instead of what you don't do), you risk turning off those who feel attacked because they identify too closely with their entertainment.
In this case, the comic features a likable lead character and an intriguing puzzle. I really want to spend more time with Cat, especially since she's described as "the smartest person in Gloria City". It's like the glory days of Oracle, only without the maiming first and with actual attention given to the intelligent redhead. I also love her clothes — I want the outfit shown here.
For now, the comic is continuing at a pace of two new pages every Sunday. I find it best to read an issue at a time, so this might be something I rediscover every few months.

Odette Yustman has a penchant for horror flicks. She starred in Cloverfield last year, and now she's back with a super scary movie, The Unborn. Between battling gross potato bugs and dealing with haunted sets, we have to admit -- she's a trooper, for sure. We chatted with Odette about her farm days (yup, she grew up on a farm, can you believe it?!), ghosts, and working with Cam Gigandet! Continue reading for more on this Unborn star.
Which scene in The Unborn was your fave to shoot?
Probably the exorcism scene because there was just so much going on and it was really cool to see how they edited it all together. There was so much action and there were so many characters in the actual scene and working with Gary Oldman in that actual scene was really cool.

OUR HOST: AéROPORT DE PARIS
About Aéroports de Paris:
Aéroports de Paris owns and operates three major airports in the Paris region (Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget), 10 general aviation airfields and the heliport of Issy-les-Moulineaux.
The three major airports provide performing facilities for the benefit of passengers, airline companies, freight operators and mail carriers and offer a powerful range of services tailored to their needs. In 2013, Aéroports de Paris welcomed 90.3 million passengers.
The Paris airports receive most of the major international airline companies, including those belonging to the three major alliances: SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld. In 2012, Aéroports de Paris counted almost 168 airline companies as clients and more than 358 cities were served from Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.
The port of entry for France, a premier global tourist destination, Aéroports de Paris is an essential connection point for international air transport. Thanks to its geographical location, first class infrastructure and competitiveness, Aéroports de Paris is ideally positioned to take full advantage of the expected growth in global air traffic in the medium and long term.
An even better passenger experience on Aéroports de Paris' Horizon
Last year held a record series of successes for Aéroports de Paris, while 2012 also saw the acquisition of a 38% share in TAV Airports. Today, renovations at Paris-Orly and Charles de Gaulle are underway as part of its Horizon 2018 initiative to deliver an extraordinary airport journey. In 2012, Aéroports de Paris (AdP) embarked upon improvements across its portfolio, and the operator is demonstrating that it is truly at the forefront of the industry, with renovations to its airports that will transform the passenger experience for every category of traveller. It is currently the midst of a major modernisation project at Paris-Orly. The six-year renovation, which was launched in October 2012, will result in the unification of its two terminals – Orly South and Orly West – to form a more efficient airport environment that will consist of a single terminal and three departure lounges with simplified access and passenger flow. The most emblematic feature of the airport's €450 million transformation is the construction of a 80,000sqm link between the two existing terminals, to be completed in 2018, and alongside it the building of a new 20,000sqm departure lounge, which will open in 2015. De Romanet explained that the ambitious development project will generate more space in the terminal and greater comfort for airlines and passengers and, when completed, will create an additional 5,000 jobs at the airport.
Chairman and CEO Augustin de Romanet explained to Amy Hanna his vision for further success and the Horizon 2018 initiative - to read the full interview click here
ACI EUROPE and ACI ASIA PACIFIC are delighted to present Airport Exchange 2014 in partnership with Aéroports de Paris, in a milestone year during which Aéroports de Paris celebrates the 40th anniversary of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
It is a great pleasure for Aéroports de Paris to host ACI Airport Exchange in Paris in November, bringing together air transport executives from across Europe and Asia Pacific. Since its launch in 2006, ACI Airport Exchange has established itself as the leading event at which ideas and knowledge are shared, and business relationships are formed. Following a very successful event in Doha last year, we at Aéroports de Paris are looking forward to helping take the event on to another level again.
The strategy of Aéroports de Paris is to become the European airport group setting the standard in terms of customer satisfaction, economic performance and sustainability, and we want this year's event to reflect that throughout the 5 conference streams of: Security & Border Control; Airport Operations; Airport Development & Environment; Facilitation, IT & Customer Service; and the Digital Engagement of Passengers.
Much of Aéroports de Paris' success is achieved through unique collaborations with our partners, who understand our drive to be a successful airport, which is responsive to the needs of its stakeholders and its desire to be "best in class" at all levels. This year's ACI Airport Exchange, which we are very proud to host, provides the perfect forum for us to champion the "best in class" experiences and strategies of a responsive airport, as well as the products and services available to achieve that.
I would like to encourage all Aéroports de Paris partners to attend ACI Airport Exchange, whether as a delegate, sponsor, exhibitor, or exhibition visitor, to benefit from the myriad networking and learning opportunities on offer, as I am sure the event can play a key role in ensuring all of us maintain our progressive approaches and solution offers.
Airports have to invest and plan for the long-term. Inspired by each other, we can find the right response to the challenges we are facing. Aéroports de Paris plans to stage a memorable social programme to complement the exciting plans ACI EUROPE and ACI Asia-Pacific have for the conference and exhibition.
We look forward to welcoming you to Paris for the most significant air transport meeting of 2014.
Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris
Exclusive Tours of Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly Airports for Airport Exchange 2014 delegates
As this year's host Aéroports de Paris will provide delegates with detailed tours of both Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris-Orly Airport led by senior management representatives to showcase the facilities, providing insight into the planning strategy and future developments.

Patricia Rhomberg (born 15 September 1953) is an Austrian former pornographic film actress from the 1970s.[1][2]
She was working as a medical assistant when she met the German director Hans Billian and began a relationship with him. In 1975, she starred in the first full hardcore German porn movie, Bienenstich im Liebesnest[1] (the soft version was named Im Gasthaus zum scharfen Hirschen and was also known as Zimmermädchen machen es gerne) directed by Billian, where she played "Graziella Schill", a woman chasing the elderly husband who cheated. In this film, she did not perform hardcore action: the most explicit sexual act is a brief footjob.
In 1976, Billian gave her the lead role (in part because she had the proper dialect for it[3]) in the first part of the porn classic Josefine Mutzenbacher – Wie sie wirklich war (known in English as Sensational Janine),[4][5] in which she plays the Vienna prostitute Josefine Mutzenbacher.[3] This film brought her to fame in Germany: Rhomberg has sexual intercourse with ten men (eight in the shorter version of the German DVD), including Frithjof Klausen, who plays her stepfather, except for two on which performs only fellatio and/or handjobs. Josefine's age is 14 years old in the novel, but no age is mentioned in the script of the film. Jim Holliday has described this film as "easily the best and most accurate of several films based on the life and adventures of legendary Viennese madam Josephine Mutzenbacher" and his "all time foreign favorite" adult film.[6] Sensational Janine was "one of the most successful foreign x-rated films ever to cross the Atlantic",[7] and the movie is "today seen as one of the best porns of all time".[3]
In 1977, she starred in Kasimir der Kuckuckskleber.[1] Her role was "Larissa Holm", a "fun loving" young woman who agrees with "Kasimir Zwickelhuber" (played by Sepp Gneißl) to go into prostitution in order to pay off some debts. Around this period as well, she starred in numerous hardcore loops directed by Billian, such as Venus in Seide and Schwarzer Orgasmus, which were among the first examples of interracial pornography on the German porn scene.
In addition to her acting work, she also worked as a fluffer for other Billian films. She made a brief appearance in the film Heiße Locher, geile Stecher, which was apparently shot before Josefine Mutzenbacher ... wie sie wirklich war? or even before Bienenstich im Liebesnest but which came out much later.
In 1978, she broke with Billian and returned to her original profession.

In Japan, G-Book is a Service offered by Toyota Motor Corporation's Media Division; Toyota Media Services which is a telematics subscription service for Toyota- and Lexus-branded vehicles. G-Book allows users to link with cellphones and personal digital assistants (PDA)'s and personal computers (PC) across Japan. It is based on the GAZOO infrastructure of Toyota's membership-based information service and membership system, and provides interactive information services via vehicle installed touch-screen wireless communication terminals. Plans are in the works to possibly control home appliances and home security systems from inside the vehicle.
Toyota began installing G-Book devices in selected Japanese domestic market vehicles starting with model year 2007. In November 2009 the G-Book-equipped Cars & Service was also made available in Shanghai and recently in 2011 Toyota launched Entune Service, for the US Market.
The wireless communications for Japan-market cars are handled by the DCM and transmits and receives information on KDDI Corporation network. The cellular platform uses CDMA2000 1x (CDMA 1X) method, and it is possible to receive speeds of up-to 144kbps data. The same DCM is used for China-market models, thus the network provider for China-market G-Book services is China Telecom.
MVNO; network: KDDI; Services: Pre+postpaid (Data); Status: Active
*Telematics: A coined term from "Telecommunication" and "Informatics."
G-BOOK is based on the infrastructure of Toyota's membership-based information service and membership system of GAZOO. It is primarily aimed at providing interactive information services via vehicle-mounted wireless communication terminals. Its seamless structure for anywhere-anytime access means that, beyond also being accessible through PCs, PDAs (personal digital assistants) and cell phones, G-BOOK can also be used to link various G-BOOK compatible functions (e.g., to use a cell phone to determine a vehicle's location, operating status, etc.). In the future, this new system will also make it possible to control home appliances and home security systems from one's vehicle.
The on-board G-BOOK terminal to be available in a new car this fall will feature a Data Communications Module and a Secure Digital card, enabling customers to take advantage of the latest network services as easily as they would operate a car radio.
These network services will be provided by numerous and varied industries and businesses, giving G-BOOK a wide range of content. Also, G-BOOK's information core, known as the G-BOOK Center, will provide "user-customized servers", or UCSs, for each customer to tailor services to his or her individual needs.
To make it easier for more companies to become G-BOOK contents/ service providers, Toyota will provide interested parties with the software specifications needed to develop compatible content.
Toyota views G-BOOK as an important and standard automobile function. It plans to increase the number of vehicle models equipped with G-BOOK terminals and to enhance G-BOOK functions and service content.
Toyota G-Book Features
A simple touch of the HELPNET button enables the emergency report service to contact the police or the fire department in case of emergency or sudden illness. For some models, the automatic emergency report service is available as G-BOOK automatically reports an emergency as soon as it detects airbag deployment.
Remote Maintenance SERVICES
Remote Maintenance Mail is a service that directly sends a service-in reminder mail at an appropriate time, based on the mileage and diagnosis/warning information sent from the vehicle.
G-BOOK provides optimal and accurate route guidance by combining VICS traffic information, past statistical data and the unique traffic data generated from automatically collected driving data on all vehicles with G-BOOK. Live Navigation Service: This service provides city, travel, hobby and entertainment information in linkage with a navigation system. When the user chooses the desired destination, the service can display it on the navigation map or can set it as the destination.
G-BOOK provides high-quality music pieces from various record companies and music publishers. The service is enabled by its communication function and unique copyright control system and includes the transmission of karaoke music, background music and the downloading of various types of games, music and entertainment information. Interactive games and on-line communities are also planned.
Strategic Business Unit (SBU)
As our Strategic Business Unit (SBU), the Toyota Media Service founded "Digital Media Asia Pacific Ltd. (DMAP)" in Bangkok, Thailand in 2004. In 2005, we founded "Beijing Media Technical Solution Ltd. (BMTS)" in Beijing, China. In 2006, we opened the Guangzhou office of BTMS in Guangzhou, China. Through those affiliated companies, we work closely with the local automotive companies in the Asia Pacific region and in China and expand "e-CRB" and "Telematics." We are planning to open a new "SBU" in other overseas markets in the future.
Data communication module (DCM)
Whereas conventional communication, navigation and car-information services require cell-phone use for access, in the case of G-BOOK, a Data Communication Module (DCM), which works in conjunction with the G-BOOK on-board terminal, allows direct one-touch connection. And G-BOOK uses a flat fee, meaning that subscribers can enjoy high-speed communications without worrying about log-on time or transmission volume. The DCM also automatically reconnects if the connection is interrupted while traveling through a tunnel, etc., (provided that the interlude is limited to a few minutes).
Secure Digital (SD) card-compatible terminal
Navigational maps and the on-board terminal's basic software are stored in a Secure Digital (SD) card. The card can be inserted into "E-TOWER" terminals at convenience stores and other locations to download local or new maps or to upgrade the on-board terminal's basic software. Music and games can also be downloaded, and the SD card is compatible with commercially available audio players, digital cameras and PDAs that use SD cards, making it possible to share content such as music files, images and games.
User-customised servers (UCS)
G-BOOK's Information Center houses user-customized servers that allow individual subscribers to freely modify screen and menu settings and to keep track of vehicle maintenance information. If a subscriber moves from one vehicle to another, information can be transferred to the on-board terminal of the latter vehicle.
Seamless network
G-BOOK can also be accessed from PCs, PDAs and cell phones for anytime, anywhere service. With Pocket G-BOOK—a system developed by Toyota jointly with several PDA manufacturers—customers can access G-BOOK in the same screen format as vehicle-installed terminals by using commercially available PDAs loaded with special application software. Pocket G-BOOK thus vastly increases the convenience of G-BOOK, making service available with or without a car.
Electronic account settlement function
G-BOOK has an electronic account settlement function that accepts major credit cards and prepaid cards (e.g., KDDI's Super World Card@CA) widely sold at convenience stores, etc. This function enables online settlement of such transactions as payment of basic service fees, purchasing of fee-based services and other e-commerce transactions. Customers can also pay via G-BOOK for services provided by other companies.
Reading-out and voice recognition functions
Text information is converted into special text at the G-BOOK Center and delivered to on-board terminals, from which subscribers can listen to the information read out in a natural-sounding synthesized voice. In addition to conventional direct user-terminal voice command functions, G-BOOK plans to employ a G-BOOK Center-based central language recognition system, (IVR: Intelligent Voice Recognition) capable of processing multiple-word commands issued through a cell phone, etc.
Open content environment
For content development, Toyota provides a development language called "G-BOOK-ML" and standard templates. Companies wishing to provide content can create content without worrying about restrictions unique to vehicles or the complicated protocols used by on-board instruments. Content developed using G-BOOK-ML is automatically converted so that it can be accessed not only from on-board terminals but also from PCs, PDAs and cell phones. These features make it extremely easy for other companies to participate in G-BOOK.
G-BOOK Services
Safety and Security Service
If car trouble occurs during vehicle operation, the G-BOOK Center detects the location of the vehicle and dispatches a tow truck, or provides appropriate maintenance. The service can also send the vehicle's location information to the user's cell phone and track down the location of a lost car. In addition, the service allows identifying, remotely, the status of the car and sending maintenance notifications from the dealership. In the future, there will be plans to include remote diagnostic services for some Toyota cars.
Information Service
This service reads out general news; sports, performing arts and economic news; weather forecasts; stock market information; etc. Customers can also customize this service by presetting a favorite item or keyword to extract information of interest only. A service will also be offered that will enable customers to access bank accounts and securities accounts to check on balances and details of transactions.
Communication Service
This service includes the sending/receiving of e-mail, message boards, bulletin boards, etc. A service will also be offered that will enable a group of drivers traveling together to display each other's current location on the navigation system's map.
E-commerce Service
Merchandise from the GAZOO Shopping Mall and G-BOOK's fee-based content and services can be purchased and paid for on-line.
OSS (Operator Support Service)
With this service, an operator answers a customer request from a cell phone, for example, and retrieves information from the G-BOOK Center to set a destination on the navigation system for the customer.
Although other manufacturers have agreed to adopt G-BOOK services and terminals the system at this stage is Japan based only with the majority of the content is in Japanese. Mitsubishi, Subaru and Daihatsu have all committed to produce G-BOOK equipped cars.
One of the features offered exclusively on G-Book mX is Probe Communication Traffic Information. According to the press release from Toyota dated April 10, 2007, "This unique Toyota traffic information service gathers driving data – such as speed and position – from vehicles equipped with G-Book mX to provide drivers with alternate routes for avoiding traffic congestion. Because it makes use of the on-board DCM (data communications module), the information gathering capability of this service is superior to similar systems, which rely solely on cell phones, and efficiently stores information about traffic congestion in real time at the G-Book Center. In this way the Probe Communication Traffic Information service supplements Vehicle Information and Communication System (VICS) information with updates on traffic congestion, providing drivers with highly accurate predictions about the current traffic situation and suggestions for the best alternate routes to take."[10] This feature is being marketed as an ability to drive eco-friendly, by helping to avoid pollution created by cars idling in traffic and allowing the driver to reach their destination sooner, and affording the opportunity to turn the car off, limiting emissions being added to the atmosphere.
The wireless communications for Japan-market cars are handled by the DCM and transmits and receives information on the wireless network owned by Japanese telecommunications provider KDDI Corporation headquartered in Okinawa. The cellular platform used is the CDMA2000 1x (CDMA 1X) method, and it is possible to receive up to 144kbps data. The same DCM is used for China-market models, thus the network provider for China-market G-Book services is China Telecom. Currently map updates and music downloads are not available for China-market G-Book-enabled cars, and traffic information is only available in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
G-Book Alpha Pro, mX Pro DCM-only, as well as CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (CDMA 1X WIN) can send up to 2.4Mbps of data, and the DCM supports hands-free calls. The DCM model is also equipped with its own GPS receiver and features, to track a stolen vehicle, and it also has an emergency notification ability to transmit the location of airbag deployment.
Secure Digital (SD) card-compatible terminal
According to a press release from Toyota dated August 28, 2002 "Navigational maps and the on-board terminal's basic software are stored in a Secure Digital (SD) card. The card can be inserted into "E-TOWER" terminals at convenience stores and other locations to download local or new maps or to upgrade the on-board terminal's basic software. Music and games can also be downloaded, and the SD card is compatible with commercially available audio players, digital cameras and PDAs that use SD cards, making it possible to share content such as music files, images and games." E-Tower locations can be found at numerous locations, including Circle K of Japan.
In 2006, Japanese media reported that a Lexus-branded cellphone was also being produced with compatibility for the G-Link system. This cellphone would be produced in conjunction with the KDDI telecommunications service provider.
Related versions
Toyota is currently working with other Japanese car manufacturers, such as Mitsubishi, Subaru and Daihatsu to provide the service in the Japanese language. Mazda has also agreed to offer the service in Japan, with an intent to install the service starting with the 2005 model. Competing services are called "Nissan Car Wings", and Internavi "Internavi Premium Club (Japanese)" by Honda. In the U.S., the Safety Connect system was produced based on the G-Book system architecture, with similar functionality, along with an expanded Lexus Enform service. The G-Book feature is similar to "W44T" offered in Japan by Toshiba, and "Pipit" in an agreement with Toyota and Willcom in Japan.
