ClassicsOnline Home » CLARKE, N.: Samurai / Black Fire / The Miraculous Violin
The British composer Nigel Clarke has built a reputation for music of extraordinary richness and virtuosity. His music is constantly inspired by many different musical languages, and belief in very close collaboration with musicians and ensembles. This leads to extremely brilliant writing, which, however physically challenging, is consistently gratifying for players and exciting for audiences. His work Samurai has a become a modern day classic and typifies his style of composition, with exuberant and explosive moments contrasting with periods of transcendental beauty.
By Abeille Musique 01-Sep-2008
Nigel Clarke embodies the new generation of British composers, musicians which are finally freed from the diktats of the 1970's avant-garde, and who therefore dare to write music that pleases them—and which appeals to the public—and who actually compose perfectly modern music. His influences are clearly Stravinsky, to which he adds a music corpus of all possible and imaginable origins, from Japan to Croatia via China and Turkey. If you consider that Clarke has signed several scores for famous feature films, the music lover will gather that they are faced with a multi-facetted composer, who stands out from any school or dogma, and whose works are highly likely to enthuse.
Clarke's major work of course remains `Samurai´, a powerful movement for wind orchestra and percussions alluding to the Homeric combats of the Japanese warriors of the Edo period: It seems that all of the world's wind orchestras have torn the score off each other's music stands, and that the work is hailed by audiences everywhere. No doubt more ambitious, the magnificent Concerto for violin and winds (`Black Fire´)—written on the orchestral model of the Weill Concerto—reveals Clarke's music as more secretive, more exploratory, and bolder although still superb. Without doubt, we have here one of the great European composers of times to come: take good note of his name.

Nigel Clarke (b. 1960) Pernambuco · The Miraculous Violin · Loulan · Samurai · Premonitions · Black Fire
Nigel Clarke began his musical career as a military bandsman, a trumpeter. It is fascinating that so much of his most adventurous music has been for string instruments. His writing for strings is extraordinarily idiomatic; like other non-string players such as Sir Michael Tippett or Hans Werner Henze, he often seems to find his most personal expression in the instruments which are furthest from his experience as a performing musician.
For two decades, Nigel Clarke has collaborated with the British violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved. Together, they have led workshops for performers and composers in China, Macedonia, Kosovo, Croatia, Turkey, and the United States. This work has proved to be a vital spur for the techniques and ideas behind his compositions.
The Miraculous Violin was jointly commissioned by the British Council and I Solisti di Zagreb, to whom it is dedicated. In order to prepare to write the work, composer and violinist spent time 'workshopping' with this virtuoso chamber group. Typically, in the course of workshops, Nigel Clarke can be observed listening out for musical gestures with which players are comfortable on their instruments. These can appear in two opposing ways; most obviously, through the gradual exploratory process of the workshop, exploring colour by colour, or in the 'off-the-cuff' licks and runs which most players will use to relax, warm up, or in fun. This careful listening enables him to construct 'swatches' of soundcolours; from these, little tapestries of effect can be constructed, which are often the raw material, the Stoff from which a piece will emerge. In one instance in Zagreb, Krešimir, a viola-player, burst in with a spectacular dance-tune, played with fantastic colours. Nigel Clarke sprang up from his chair in the middle of the circle of players. "That's great, we'll use it! What is it?" This was greeted with hoots of laughter, and good-humoured derision was hurled at the violist. The leader, Andelko Krpan leant over to Sheppard Skærved. They say "Please don't use this one. It's a Serb tune". "Then I am definitely going to use it" retorted Clarke. This moment provided the stimulus for the viola countermelodies in the fast inner sections of the work. As a result of this close collaboration, The Miraculous Violin reflects the energised physicality of the Solisti di Zagreb. The success of this work, with its dedicatees and subsequent ensembles, is testament to the success of what the anthropologist Genevieve Bell has called 'deep hanging out'.
Loulan was the result of just such 'deep hanging out'. In the autumn of 2002, Nigel Clarke and Peter Sheppard Skærved spent time in the city of Urumqi, the regional capital of Xinjiang province in China. The experience of this extraordinary landscape, the desert, the profound melting-pot of cultures, affected him deeply. On the last night of the visit, the composer and violinist were treated to an extraordinary banquet which included performances of many of the traditional music and dances of the region. Both composer and soloist took copious notes of the performances, and these became the raw material for Loulan. Like Pernambuco this piece is not a synthesized version of the music which Clarke heard, but a highly distilled response to the whole experience, one which manifested itself in new colours and timbres on the violin, and a profound simplicity of structure and utterance.
This exploratory approach was also fundamental to the earliest violin piece on this disc, Pernambuco. Clarke had been speaking of his determination to write a piece about the bow, an instrument, which, despite its extraordinary technological and technical subtleties has barely entered the public consciousness. 'Pernambuco' also known as 'brazil wood' became vital to the construction of the modern bow, developed in the 1780s by the French maker François Tourte. Clarke took inspiration from the rhythmic excitement and colouristic brilliance of South American folk instruments, as well as aspects of Pre-Columbian art, to create a piece of violin music unlike any other, one which has proved extremely popular with performers and audiences, despite its extreme physical demands.
During the 2002 Xinjiang visit, The Miraculous Violin reached its final form. In the course of working with the orchestra in Urumqi, Clarke decided that the piece needed a cadenza. This initially took the form of an improvisation, but then this was replaced with a written out cadenza by Sheppard Skærved, composed referencing a number of Clarke's earlier works, most particularly Parnassus, a string ensemble piece which had marked the beginning of their collaboration as students. This cadenza is placed, in Mendelssohnian fashion, at the midway point of the piece.
In the course of collaboration with Sheppard Skærved in Ankara, Nigel Clarke was able for the first time to work on his music with a Turkish military orchestra. This experience, combined with long-term collaboration with Turkish composers such as Sıdıka Özdil and Yiğit Kolat, was a vital element in the development of the tumultuous fast music of Black Fire. Having begun his musical life as a bandsman, Nigel Clarke is profoundly affected by the relationship of the western European tradition of military music and the music of the former Ottoman Empire, which still finds echoes in the military music of Turkey and the Balkan states.
In 1995 Nigel Clarke was commissioned to write Samurai for the Royal Northern College of Music Symphonic Wind Orchestra and Timothy Reynish in the northern English city of Manchester. He responded to the fact that the work was due to have its première in Hamamatsu, Japan, by basing the work on aspects of Samurai culture and warfare. Two Japanese instruments are specifically evoked, the taiko, a large drum used for battlefield communication, and a conch-shell trumpet, the horagai. He is keen to stress that he was equally impressed by the creative culture of the Samurai, and the piece alludes to this in the ritual slow sections. Clarke was seeking to write a piece that would not be out of place in an Akira Kurosawa film.
For some years prior to the composition of Black Fire, Nigel Clarke had been speaking of this determination to write a major work for violin and symphonic wind orchestra. As Samurai had become a core repertoire work for wind orchestra, he was determined to take up the challenge thrown down by Kurt Weill's classic concerto for violin and wind and to bring together these usually separate worlds. The title was inspired by Gustave Doré's engravings for Milton's Paradise Lost. Milton's ambivalent parable seemed a perfect metaphor for the 'age of anxiety' in which this work was composed; to emphasize this mood, a quotation from Richard Wagner's opera Götterdämmerung is used. Clarke stresses that this piece is not a concerto, but rather, a drama for orchestra and soloist in the tradition of Berlioz, with the soloist cast in the rôle of Satan. In Paradise Lost Milton refers to the devils, cast out of heaven and lying scattered like dried leaves in the Arno Valley. Clarke loops time in his piece, which ends with Satan, flying off on his mission of suicidal evil heroism to spoil God's newest creation, Earth, the silence of his departure only slightly disturbed by the rustle of the downcast demons. Black Fire had its première in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, conducted by the late Gerald Loren Welker.
Some time after the first performance, Clarke realised that he had unwittingly already written a prelude to this work, in the form of his early trumpet work Premonitions. This became a fitting, almost Ivesian, questioning voice, to upbeat the sound and fury of Black Fire.
It is not necessary to know any of these things in order to enjoy Clarke's direct, impassioned music, but he has never felt it necessary to hide his inspirations, and is always candid about the 'triggers' that fascinate and inspire him.

Winter is seems to be a pleasant time for hot country like India. Winter fashion in India is different from those western cold countries as well. In this cold season people cover their body with warm clothes & other wool accessories. But those days are gone when people used to wear woolen clothes just to warm their bodies. Today people wear fashionable winter clothes & other fashion accessories during this season. Most of people uses shawls, scarves, fashion ponchos & neck scarves or mufflers during this season of cold winds. While most of the girls & ladies are seen wearing a square wool scarf around their neck. Winter fashion Accessories like square scarf are used around the wold as winter accessories as well as a fashion accessory these days.
Wool square scarf has double qualities; elegance and comfort. Popularly known as jamawar in India, these are hand-woven scarves in wool of very high quality, keeping your body warm, yet never giving that itch feeling that we commonly experience with woolen clothes. Jacquard weaving in jamawar is very classic, something that was initially popularized by the French in 17th and 18th century, when they started to have shawls made in India according to their designs. Wear these long rectangular scarves to your office as a regular business or formal wear. They have subdued elegance. Others will silently admire your taste.
In jamawar square scarf, the design is woven into the very fabric of the cloth. This is done by replacing the shuttle used in ordinary weaving and a series of small, eyeless wooden bobbins known in Kashmiri as Kani, each filled with colored yarn. The work is achieved by two or three weavers seated on a loom. The jacquard designs used by scarf manufacturers in Europe had profound influence on Kashmirs own Kani design. Thus the cone entered the final phase of development as an abstraction, a scroll, often less a unit on its own than part of an overall complexity of pattern. The marriage of jacquard designs and kani technique was often not aesthetically successful, and in the scarf of the industry's great period, the exuberance of the Sikh period design often degenerated into coarseness, even vulgarity. This general decline of artistic standards, however, did not preclude the production of particular exquisite pieces, and certainly implied no lowering of the standard of an infinitely painstaking craftsmanship.

In my first blog I wrote about how this foreign tour was happening at the perfect time due to our growing and youthful team. I thought a nine-day trip would be great for camaraderie as well as a growing experience for all of our players, particularly the ones who had never been out of the country before. I was interested to hear if our players thought this was actually the case after dinner on our final night in Italy.
After dessert, Coach Beilein asked each player to stand up and share their thoughts on the trip and the experience as a whole. Starting with the freshmen, Kam volunteered right away to talk about his experience. He spoke about how he got to know a lot more about his teammates, especially his roommate Zak and how it was good to finally play as a group instead of just playing against each other in open gyms. Ricky then added that without having cell service and spotty at best WiFi throughout the trip, everyone spent a ton more time conversing and getting to know each other.
As the rest of the team went through and shared their thoughts, many shared the same opinions on team bonding, while others thanked our tour guides and Coach Beilein for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Spike in particular added that he's never been overseas before and experiencing Italian culture first hand really broadened his horizons. He thanked everyone for being a part of this incredible experience.
Once the players and rest of the staff, Coach Beilein had a few closing remarks and added that he thinks this team can really do something special this year.
I think he might be right.
Thanks again everyone for reading, we're looking forward to another great year.

Verlander tinkering with success
Justin Verlander knows what's wrong with Justin Verlander.
"Tinkering," he told me, "is what I would call it."
Of course. Tinkering.
In his last three starts, Verlander has allowed 16 earned runs over 12-2/3 innings. Fans, scouts and opposing hitters would choose a different participle: Struggling. But Verlander didn't use that S-word once during a 15-minute conversation Friday — an indication the bizarre May has done little to change his swashbuckling psyche.
Verlander has been the American League's best starter over the last four-plus seasons. He has the MVP and Cy Young hardware. So great is his talent and swagger that, when on the mound, Verlander regards baserunners as flukes. Hits and walks are against the natural order.
Lately, those offensive accidents have become more numerous. He has a 7.32 ERA in four starts this month.
For this, Verlander offers an explanation I don't suspect you'd hear from other pitchers: At the end of April, he was 3-2 with a 1.83 ERA. And he decided it was time to make changes.
"I think I had the best April of my career, but I'm always a perfectionist," the Tigers ace said. "I wanted to be better. So I started tinkering, and I feel like it had the opposite effect.
"I can't fault myself for getting worse because I tried to get better. It didn't work, so go back to basics and get to where I need to be. Thankfully, I'm somebody who makes adjustments really quickly. I feel like that could have caused a slump there, too. Because I make adjustments so quickly, I'm able to work on lots of different things at once. That threw me off a little bit."
Got all that?
Because a 1.83 ERA wasn't good enough for Verlander, he took his delivery to the pitching mechanic . . . and came back with a 3.66 entering Monday's start against Pittsburgh.
We sportswriters have Control-Z to save us when our best-intentioned efforts must be undone. Pitchers aren't so lucky. Tweaking the tweaks — against world-class competition, in front of 40,000 people — is an arduous, frustrating task.
Verlander admits that he undertook the project partially because of his widely-discussed drop in velocity at the beginning of this season. He's not completely sure why his fastball was off by two or three miles per hour, particularly in his earliest starts.
But he has theories.
"I feel like it had a lot to do with being three weeks behind in spring," Verlander said of his delayed throwing program because of the 266-2/3 innings he threw last year. "The workload (in 2012) might have had something to do with it. The cold weather might have had something to do with it. It might have been all of the above.
"I wasn't freaking out about it, especially when I was in the game. But I feel like the process of trying to find out what was a little awry in my mechanics led to (my location) being off. Especially in those two starts [against Cleveland on May 11 and Texas last Sunday] I think I was throwing like 60-percent strikes with my fastball, which isn't me at all."
Normally, Verlander's fastball command is so precise that he keeps it almost exclusively on either corner of the plate. That hasn't been the case lately. But Verlander believes his last outing — a rain-influenced, five-inning, five-run, 110-pitch effort against Cleveland — was much closer to his '11 and '12 self. Right now, he would take that.
"The fastball was up to 99 in Texas and up to 98 in Cleveland," he said. "So, I don't (need to) worry about (velocity anymore)."
Amid the uncertainty, Verlander is sure of one thing: His new contract, worth a guaranteed $180 million, isn't one of those reasons behind the struggling . . . or tinkering.
"Never been an issue," he said of the new deal, announced near the end of spring training. "I've always said nobody can put more pressure on me than me. I put more pressure on myself than anyone possibly can — not bad pressure, but the will to be the best and pressure to succeed. If I was playing for a penny, it wouldn't change that for me.
"That's the inner drive some guys have and some guys don't, what makes some guys elite and other guys not. Take two guys with the same exact stuff, you can write two totally different career paths. That's all between the ears and in the heart."
Implicit in that quote, of course, is Verlander's unchanged belief that he possesses that powerful combination of guts and know-how. This is also a man who's never been on the disabled list in the major leagues. Asked about his physical health, Verlander replied, "I feel fine."
One no-hitter can highlight a career. Throwing multiple no-hitters? Well, that creates a legend.Still, the mechanical un-tweaking won't be complete until Verlander looks like Verlander in a game setting. He was pleased with his consistency in Friday's bullpen session. And while it's strange that Verlander's bullpen sessions have become newsworthy at all, he understands the questions and debate — even while doubting whether a three-start sample would have elicited a similar frenzy in generations gone by.
Remember: San Francisco's Matt Cain — who started opposite Verlander in last year's All-Star Game and also pitched through the World Series — stumbled to a 6.49 ERA in April. He has recovered with three quality starts in his last four outings.
"Guys with track records usually find a way," Verlander said. "Once I find it, it's going to be really good."
As long as he doesn't tweak it again.

Hundreds of El Pasoans will have to look for a new job after massive layoffs. Xerox is laying off 490 employees at a call center in East El Paso.
About fifty customer care representatives lost their job Monday and the rest will be laid off starting September 6. A Xerox spokesman said some of the employees will be eligible for separation payments, depending on how long they've worked there. He said the company is scaling back for a new strategy.
Xerox officials said they sent out a notification to local and state governments notifying them of the layoffs, a step required by law. Xerox currently employs about 1,000 people in El Paso but the number will be reduced after the layoffs.

RI Latinos Shut Out of Housing Market
The dream of owning your own home is out of reach to most Rhode Island Latinos, according to a new report published by the Latino Policy Institute at Roger Williams University. Many struggle just to afford an apartment.
According to the Latino Policy Institute, 71 percent of Latinos living in Rhode Island don't earn enough to buy a house. On average, you have to earn $61,000 a year to buy a house. The average income for Latinos is just $29,000.
Latino Policy Institute director Anna Cano Morales says many Latinos struggle just to pay the rent. "One in three Latino renter households are extremely cost burdened, spending more than 50 percent of their income on housing. So that leaves little money or little resources for other basic human needs."
Morales says one of the problems is the age of the Latino population. "We're fairly young. The median Latino age in Rhode Island is 26, in comparison to the median age in Rhode Island which is 40. So we're extremely young."
Latinos are also struggling to improve their finances. The unemployment rate among Latinos in Rhode Island is 20.9 percent, compared to 10.3 percent statewide.
Only 29 percent of Rhode Island Latinos own their own home. The Latino Policy Institute says this data points up the need for more affordable housing.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2015
Where did the German Wetzler family come from? What is the German Wetzler family crest and coat of arms? When did the Wetzler family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Wetzler family history? Spelling variations of this family name include: Wetzel, Wetzlaw (Silesia), Weczel ( Silesia, Bohemia), Wetzold, Weczold, Wetzler, Wetzal, Wetzell, Wetzlar, Wetz and many more. First found in Silesia and Bohemia, where the name could be considered to make a major contribution to the feudal society that shaped the early development of Europe. The name became prominent in local affairs and branched into many houses, playing important roles in the savage tribal and national conflicts, as each group strove for power and status in an unstable territorial profile. chronicles first mention the Lord Weczel von Schellendorf from Liegnitz in Silesia around 1424, and Hans Weczold of Freiberg in Saxony near the border with Bohemia in 1447. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Wetzler research. Another 267 words(19 lines of text) covering the years 1662 and 1689 are included under the topic Early Wetzler History in all our PDF Extended History products. Another 22 words(2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Wetzler Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Some of the first settlers of this family name were: Wetzler Settlers in United States in the 18th Century

Alcohol is the number one drug of choice for teenagers. Alcohol-related car crashes are the number one killer of teenagers in the United States. Alcohol is the number one drug problem in America.
If you think it can't happen to you, look around. Check your school's yearbooks for the last ten years. How many have been dedicated to a student who was killed in a drunk driving crash? Ask your friends how many people they know that have had bad things happen to them when they were drinking. You don't even have to be the one doing the drinking. Most teenage passenger deaths are the result of alcohol-impaired teenage drivers. No matter what the situation, drinking alcohol under the age of 21 is illegal.
How Alcohol Affects You
You see double, speech slurs, you lose your sense of distance.
A significant proportion of violent crimes and vandalism among and by youth involve alcohol.
Using alcohol can cost you your freedom. You can be grounded by parents, lose your driver's license, or even end up in jail.
You can get sick or die of alcohol poisoning.
Poor grades can be a result of alcohol use.
Be Aware of Advertising
Take a good look at how the alcohol industry is trying to convince people to use their products.
Wine coolers are displayed in stores next to fruit drinks. Maybe they don't think you'll notice the difference between a fruit drink and one with alcohol.
Different brands of beer and other alcoholic beverages are slipped into the movies you watch. They think if you see your favorite actor drinking it, you will too.
The models on the beer commercials are always young, fit, and beautiful. But alcohol has plenty of calories and little nutritional value. Drinking it will not make you more fit or attractive.
Advertisements feature celebrities and sports figures. But drinking will not make you famous or athletic.
Alcohol advertisers are now trying to be more responsible by telling you not to drink and drive. But drunk driving is not the only way alcohol can affect your life.
Advertisers hope you won't stop and think when you see their ads. Don't be conned. Use your best judgment and learn the facts.
Some More Facts About Alcohol
The earlier young people start drinking and using drugs, the more likely they are to become addicted.
Drinking coffee, taking a cold shower, or breathing fresh air will not sober you up. The only thing that sobers you up is time–at least several hours.
One beer, one shot of whiskey, and one glass of wine all have the same amount of alcohol. Don't fall for the notion that beer and wine are less intoxicating than hard liquors.
Only 3 to 5 percent of alcoholics are what we think of as bums. Most alcoholics are just like the people you know. Anyone can become an alcoholic -- young, old, rich, poor, married, single, employed, or out of work.
Drinking alcohol does not quench your thirst; it causes dehydration.
Alcohol interferes with your central nervous system. You lose balance, coordination, and judgment.
Alcohol ages and damages the brain.
Alcoholism is hereditary.
Eight young people die in alcohol-related crashes every day.
Teens who drink alcohol are 7.5 times more likely to use any illicit drug, and 50 times more likely to use cocaine than young people who never drink alcohol.
You are breaking the law by buying or using alcohol before you are 21 years old.
Take Action
Make a pledge with your friends that you will help each other avoid alcohol and other drugs. Leave parties where kids are drinking or taking drugs.
If a friend or someone you know has passed out from drinking too much alcohol, turn the person on his or her side and call 911. Too much alcohol can cause the central nervous system, which controls breathing, to shut down. Death can result.
Don't ride with someone who has been drinking. Call a taxi, your parents, or another relative or friend for a ride.
Encourage someone you think has a drinking problem to get help. Go with them to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings or to meet with a counselor.
Write ads for your school newspaper that make people aware of advertising gimmicks.
If you belong to any club or other youth group, suggest that its members organize an anti-drinking project such as an alcohol-free post-prom, graduation, or New Years Eve party.
Make a presentation to your school's PTA meeting about how teachers and parents can help kids avoid drugs and alcohol.
Ask for help if someone is pressuring you to try alcohol or other drugs. Talk to someone you trust.

Wind energy systems are an admirable concept because they are helpful to the environment. Saving money on your energy bill sounds alluring as well. good wind energy system is not suitable for everyone~There is one catch though, not every home is satisfactory for efficient wind energy systems~Although some homes are not applicable for suitable wind energy systems}. There are only rare cases where wind energy fits well in most home settings. For the typical city home in a crowded neighborhood it would be too costly and nearly impossible to intergrate a wind energy system.
Residential Wind Turbines
wind turbine energy designs to supply electricity a home will most likely rely on wind turbines and the utility company~Normally after installing a wind turbine energy system most owners would still be forced to use the traditional power corporation~Even after positioning wind turbine energy contraptions the homeowner would still have to utilize the power company}. The wind may not always be at the velocity required to run the turbine to make enough electricity then it would be necessary to use the local electrical utilities.
Wind turbine energy generators will create more electricity with more wind. There could be occasions when the wind turbines furnish more electricity than a residence requires and the extra watts would be sold to the local electric company. This is done automatically.
Is My Home Suitable?
In an urban setting using a wind energy system is not suitable as there is usually not enough land. In a rural area with the lot sizes being much larger is ideal. Installing a wind energy system is determined by the local wind conditions in your area. Winds need to be higher than 10 mph for there to be significant output from the wind turbines.
make solar power efficiently or wind power from one of the various alternative energy systems then you can expect to see lower electricity bills~If you are able to enjoy the benefits of making solar power capably or wind power from alternative energy sources systems you will see a significant savings~Once you have been approved for some type of alternative energy system that is useful to make solar power or wind energy you will appreciate electrical power savings}. You can reduce your home energy bill by as much as 90% if your area has the right wind conditions. Hopefully these lower energy bills will offset the cost of the wind turbine.
How Does It Help?
Although you will have to pay for the initial cost of the wind turbine it will be paid back in subsequent years with lower electricity bills. A wind turbine will also last you for 20 to 30 years. You will also be conserving our environment with the use of cleaner energy.
Not only will you be generating clean energy but you will also be offsetting pollutants that your utility company releases. If you live in a suitable area then using wind energy systems might not only benefit the environment but can also save you money in the long term.

Question 1
(parts 1-4, 19pt)
unpredictable and cyclic nature of Bipolar disorder makes it both fascinating
and frustrating to study. Initially efforts could only focus on characterizing
symptoms. More recently theories have been proposed to explain the molecular
basis of this disorder.
1) Provide a well-labeled diagram of a
neuron indicating its major structural parts. (6pt)
2) What is the Catecholamine theory of
affective disorder? (4pt)
3) What is an inhibitory response at a
synapse Include the role of ions in this process. (3pt)
4) Would neurotransmitters and
neurotransmitter receptors be predicted to contain ER signal sequences? (why or
why not) (6pt)
Suicide is the second highest cause of death of college students. What ranks
first as a cause of death on college campuses? (1pt)
Question 2
(parts 1-4; 15pt total)
A friend from
another school calls you. Their Cell Bio lab is also studying mating (using
brewer's yeast) and they have performed a number of experiments but the
lab manual isn't clear and he doesn't know how to interpret his results.
He has to finish his project and write a lab report. He is beginning to panic
and needs your help.
They have 3
yeast strains: KKB1 wt
strain (a, -his); KKB2
wt strain (alpha, -trp);
nonmating strain (a –his)
complementation test between KKB2 and RGN1 resulted in colony growth on
–HIS, YEPD, -TRP, and (-HIS,-TRP) plates.
They then
performed serial dilution of log phase cultures of KKB1 and RGN1. They mixed
equal amounts of each dilution and undiluted KKB2 cells, plated 100ul of the
mixture on the plates indicated and counted colonies after 2 days of growth at
30°C. He emails you a table of the mixtures and the number of colonies seen
in each growth condition.

His report needs
an introduction including background information on yeast and his professor is
a stickler for Latin names. When your friend was working in lab he accidentally
spilled his Nalgene water bottle on his notebook and now he can't read
the introductory information that tells him about his yeast and yeast mating.
1) What is the Latin name of the organism he
is studying? (3pt)
2) If he had followed all laboratory safety
rules he would know the background material. What safety rule did he break?
3) What is the mating efficiency of RGN1?
(show calculations—hand written is ok) (5pt)
4) They were told that RGN1 is a mating
mutant. Are the results of the complementation test and the mating efficiency
test consistent with that description? (Be sure to mention the results of both
tests in your answer) (5pt)
Question 3
(parts 1- 14; 61 points)
You have
identified a free-swimming algae that regulates its internal temperature by
concentrating or dispersing pigment filled vesicles. Enthralled, you decide to
study these vesicles and their movement. Early research indicates that the
vesicles are derived from the trans
Golgi network (TGN) and travel along microtubules. When the algae are in a warm
environment the pigment vesicles (abbreviated PV) are moved to the center of the algae.
When the temperature is cooler the PV are moved to just under the plasma
membrane so that they can help to capture solar energy. The motors appear to be
the same as those used in mammalian systems.
You set up an in
vitro assay to study the
motor involved in PV movement
1) Microtubules are polymers. What is the
basic unit of unit of this polymer? (3pt)
2) Name the compartments of the cell where
microtubule genes are transcribed and the resulting message is translated.
3) In mammals what are the minimal
components needed to study (+) end directed movement in an in vitro assay? (You may assume you have access to
purified proteins) (5pt)
4) You decide it would be prudent to add a
drug to stabilize the microtubules in your algae PV movement assay. What drug
do you add? (2pt)
what drug could you add to destabilize microtubules? (2pt)
5) Briefly describe how a microtubule
stabilizing drug would effect mating in yeast. (3pt)
6) Microtubules are not static structures.
Discuss the role of nucleotides in the process of dynamic instability. (4pt)
These algae have
a unique mechanism for dealing with extremes in heat. Since the dark pigment
helps retain heat, under extreme conditions the algae secrete the pigment and
thus turn a much 'cooler' clear color. The release of the pigment
covers the cells with a brown color that is then washed away. In lakes
containing large populations of these algae, this can cover the surface of the
lake with a distinctive 'brown ooze'.
7) Pigment release is an example of what
type of exocytosis? In your answer provide a definition of that type of
exocytosis and an example of that type of exocytosis from mammalian
cells. (5pt)
8) Is it reasonable to predict that TAP
would have a role in the exocytosis of pigment? (why or why not) (4pt)
You are interested in the interactions
that allow a particular motor to interact with a specific vesicle. A current
hypothesis states that the vesicle must contain a protein that acts as a
molecular marker or 'ZIP code'. You think that you have identified
such a protein in the membrane of the pigment vesicle. You name the protein
Vrom (for vesicle receptor onto motor). As seen in
the diagram the cytoplasmic portion of Vrom is predicted to interact with a
motor protein. You begin gathering data about Vrom, its synthesis, localization
and function.
9) Name 2 agencies you could apply to for
grant money to support this research project. (3pt)
10) Transcription of the gene encoding vrom
reveals no surprises. However its processing is slightly unusual. Vrom mRNA has
a poly(A )tail that is very short. What is a poly(A) tail and what consequences
might result from an mRNA having a very short one? (5pt)
11) Analysis of the 5' end of the mRNA
shows that it contains two start codons. How does the cell know which one to
use to begin translation and what cellular components are necessary to form the
initiation complex? (5pt)
12) As indicated, Vrom is part of a pigment
vesicle membrane. How could you determine if its translocation occurred using
an SRP-mediated or a Sec mediated pathway? (Be sure to describe the 2
translocation pathways in your answer) (9pt)
13) Name all of the cellular compartments
that the Vrom protein will pass through before it is incorporated into a
pigment vesicle? (4pt)
Data suggests
that the last 6 amino acids of Vrom (KRLVDE) are important for the interaction
between the vesicle and their motor protein.
14) How can you demonstrate that the KRLVDE
region is both necessary and sufficient for vesicle/motor protein interaction?
(6pt) (theoretical explanation is enough, experimental design is not needed)
Question 4:
(1 part 5pt)
Every once and a
while a student will approach me saying "Dr Bernd, if you had only asked
X. I know all about that but you didn't ask me". Here is your
chance. Write and answer your own short answer question. It must relate to a
topic we have covered in this section and cannot repeat any of the questions
that appear above. My advice—keep it simple and straight forward and
don't ask yourself to write a book. (5pt)

Rating: 1/5DisappointedThis review is from: SPARKLE SPI460PFB2-MC2 460W ATX12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply Pros: Sparkle usually stands for a superior product Cons: The 8-pin (EPS) CPU connector is MUCH too short to reach the CPU plug in a bottom-mounted case. The 24-pin main power connector is just barely long enough if you stretch it. Had to splice 8 extension wires into the EPS cable or wait a week to get a different PS. In general the wiring harness on this power supply looks like something from the mid nineties. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

CBRN defense
This article needs attention from an expert in Military history. The specific problem is: Muddled terminology. |
CBRN (or CBN[1]) is an initialism used to refer to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear warfare. Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense (often abbreviated to CBRN defense or CBRND) is the term for protective measures taken in situations in which any of these four hazards are present. To account for improvised devices, the term CBRNe (e for explosives) is also used. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection, contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation.
CBRN weapons or agents are often referred to as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, this is not entirely correct. Although CBRNe agents often cause mass destruction, this is not necessarily the case. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents may cause a limited number of casualties, but a large terrorizing and disruption of society. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents, intended to cause terror instead of mass casualties, is therefore often referred to as weapons of mass disruption.[2]
A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope (i.e., CBRNe can be a mass casualty situation) and intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents.
A 2011 forecast concluded that worldwide government spending on CBRN defence products and services would reach US$8.38bn that year.[3]
In English the term CBRN is a replacement for the cold war term NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical), which had replaced the term ABC (atomic, biological, and chemical) that was used in the fifties. The addition of the R (for radiological) is a consequence of the "new" threat of a radiological weapon (also known as "dirty bombs"), in addition to end the joke among members of the Chemical Corps which called "NBC as NoBody Cares". In the new millennium, the term CBRNe was introduced as an extension of CBRN - the e in this term representing the enhanced (improvised) explosives threat.[4] Leaders and members of the Chemical Corps also use CBRN as "Could Be Right Now".[5]
In Spanish the term NRBQ (Nuclear, Radiológico, Bacteriológico y Químico) has replaced NBQ.
By country or region[edit]
The term CBRN is in common use in disaster and emergency services organizations across the country.[6] Since July 2005, the Canadian Forces also started using the term CBRN Defence, instead of NBC Defence, due to the increased threat of dirty bomb use (which is radiological in nature). CBRNe is a new term that is being used in both civilian and military organisations. The Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit is a Canadian Forces unit, under the direction of the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command, charged with supporting "the Government of Canada in order to prevent, control and mitigate CBRN threats to Canada, Canadians and Canadian interests."
At the provincial level, cities are provided opportunities for their emergency services with CBRN training. In Ontario, emergency services in Windsor, Ontario; Ottawa, Ontario; Peterborough, Ontario; and Toronto (Toronto Fire Services, Toronto Police Service, Toronto EMS, and Heavy Urban Search and Rescue) have obtained CBRN standing at NFPA Standard 472 Awareness Level 3.[7]
The Ontario Provincial Police's UCRT (Urban Search & Rescue / CBRNe Response Team) is a specialized team responsible for CBRNe incident response for the province of Ontario. The team was formed in 2002 and was called the Provincial Emergency Response Team (PERT) until 2010, when the name was changed to UCRT.[citation needed] They changed from Provincial Emergency Response Team to UCRT due to the elimination of Tactical and concentrating on USAR and CBRN and explosive disposal. Under the direction of specialist Staff Sergeant Jim Bock, UCRT became the Provinces elite response to anti terrorism.
Hong Kong[edit]
Hong Kong has had CBRN response capabilities since the early 1990s and advanced training from 1998.[8] Hong Kong Fire Services HAZMAT and Hong Kong Police EOD teams handle CBRN calls, with the latter dealing with explosive devices.[8]
The Indian Army ordered 16 CBRN monitoring vehicles, of which the first 8 were inducted in December 2010. It was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and manufactured by Ordnance Factories Board.[9]
The Argentine Armed Forces has several CRBN response teams. The Batallón de Ingenieros QBN 601 of the Argentine Army, was the first CRBN response team created, in the 1990s, as a part of the country's Rapid Deployment Force. Civil defense, and firemen from Policía Federal Argentina teams also have CRBN training.
The Irish national police force, the Garda Síochána, has a number of nationwide CBRN response teams. The teams are based regionally (in six regions; Dublin, Eastern, Northern, Southern, South-Eastern & Western) and began operating from 2004 with 100 trained officers.[10] They are trained by the Garda Tactical Training Unit, and supported nationally by the Emergency Response Unit (ERU).[11] In addition, the Irish Defence Forces has CBRNe training and equipment capabilities - in particular the Engineer Corps and Army Ranger Wing (ARW) - and will aid the civil authority if requested. The Irish Army has 10,000 protective suits, enough for all its personnel.[12] Other emergency services also have limited CBRN expertise, such as the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB).
The Malaysian Army formed a CBRN unit, Peperangan Nuklear, Biologi dan Kimia 3 Divisyen (English: Chemical, Biological and Nuclear Warfare Division 3; PNBK 3D) in April 2002.[13]
The Royal Malaysia Police has CBRN providers. The Pasukan Gerakan Khas (PGK) has two special operations detachments with HAZMAT expertise - 69 Commandos and Special Actions Unit. The Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) also has a CBRN unit. Both PGK and FRU teams handle CBRN calls, before an army PNBK unit responds.[14]
The Spanish Army 1st CBRN Regiment 'Valencia' was formed in March 2005.Training in the defence against CBRN agents as part of combat support is the main aim of exercise 'Grifo' (Griffin) – the most important of this type that the Army undertakes. The National Police and the Spanish Civil Guard have their own CBRN units. The Military Emergencies Unit and emergency services have CBRN training.[15] [16]
United Kingdom[edit]
CBRN is also used by the UK Home Office as a civil designation.[17] Police, fire and ambulance services in the UK must all have some level of CBRN providers. Within the ambulance service this is performed by the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) and Special Operations Response Team (SORT). Since the introduction of new equipment to UK fire services under the New Dimension programme, CBRN decontamination of personnel (including members of the public) has become a task carried out by fire services in the UK and they regularly train for such scenarios.
United States[edit]
The United States Army uses CBRN as an abbreviation for their Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Operations Specialists (MOS). The United States Army trains all US Army soldiers pursuing a career in CBRN at the United States Army CBRN School at Fort Leonard Wood.
The USAF uses Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC 3E9X1) U.S. Air Force Emergency Management, who are also CBRN Specialists. The USAF trains all US Airmen pursuing a career in counter-CBRN operations at the USAF CBRN School at Fort Leonard Wood.
The USMC uses CBRN as an abbreviation for two military occupational specialties. The Marine Corps runs a CBRN School to train Marine CBRN Defense Officers and Marine CBRN Defense Specialists at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. See also: Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (USMC CBIRF)
The USN requires all personnel to take a web-based CBRNE training annually to get a basic understanding of facts and procedures related to responding to a CBRNE incident.
In May 2012, BioPrepWatch reported that the Russian security service ordered over 100 "capsule cradles", which are devices that people can use to protect infants or even small pets in the event of a nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological threat. According to the article, Soviet military engineers invented the capsules in the 1960s. A company is currently producing the capsules in a factory in Russia.[18]
CBRN Products[edit]
Numbers vary, but news reports and market forecast reports place the market for CRBN products in 2013 and 2014 between $8.7-8.8 billion.[19][20] The market for CBRN products is expected to grow to over $13 billion by the year 2023.[19] CBRN manufacturers include Argon Electronics, Blucher GmbH, Bruker, FLIR Systems, HDT Global, MSA, Research International, and TSI.
- Argon Electronics makes CBRN detection simulator called RADSIM 44-9-SIM that personnel can use in training exercises.[21]
- Blucher GmbH produces a two-piece CBRN protective suit called the SCDF CBRN Protective Suit that gives first responders 24-hour protection against environmental threats.[22]
- Bruker produces ion-mobility spectrometry technology for military and security personnel that separates, identifies and analyzes ionized molecules present in gas.[23]
- FLIR Systems produces several handheld detection equipment devices, each for chemical, radiation, biological and explosives detection.[24]
- HDT Global produces an air filtration system called ColPro Filtration that government forces can install in buildings, ships and vehicles to remove CBRN threats from the air.[25]
- MSA produces the Safe Escape CBRN Respirator, a hood that filters CBRN particles for use by personnel responding to a terrorist incident. [26]
- Research International creates a sensor system, called the ASAP V For Critical Infrastructure Protection, for subways and other public areas that uses multi-sensor surveillance technology that detects the presence of CBRN particles.[27]
- TSI makes technology called Bioaerosol Triggers that collect CBRN environmental samples for to identify and confirm threats.[28]

Breed Description
Nicknamed the American gentleman among dogs because of its gentle disposition, the Boston Terrier was bred in Massachusetts well over 100 years ago, a cross between the English Bulldog and English Terrier. Devoted, clever, active, and clever, the Boston Terrier makes for a wonderful companion.
Physical Characteristics
The clean-cut Boston Terrier has a square-proportioned, compactly-built, and short-backed body. This dog passes on the impression of liveliness, sturdiness, strength, determination, grace, and style. It preserves many features of its Bulldog relatives, but has a clean-cut structure, making it ideal as a helpful house companion. The breed is also known to snore or wheeze because of its flat nose. Its short coat, which is fine and comes in brindle, seal, or black with white markings, is elegant in appearance.
Personality and Temperament
The Boston Terrier may be stubborn at times, but as it is also clever, it can be taught to learn. It is shy in front of strangers and some Boston Terriers may get feisty towards unfamiliar dogs, while others bark a lot. However, this breed is also sensitive and devoted, and while indoors, it is one of the most well-mannered dogs. If taken outside, the Boston Terrier is bold, playful, and always up for a game of fetch.
Boston Terriers should not be kept outdoors, as many do not tolerate heat well. Its coat needs minimal care, just the occasional brushing is enough to get rid of dead hair. The Boston Terrier does, however, need exercise daily, which can be accomplished with a short leash-led walk or a nice romp in the yard.
This Boston Terrier has an averafe lifespan of 10 to 14 years and is prone to minor ailments like stenotic nares, allergies, elongated soft palate, and patellar luxation. Deafness, demodicosis, seizures, corneal abrasions, and cataract may occasionally affect this breed. To identify some of these issues, a veterinarian may run hip, knee, and eye exams on the dog.
The Boston Terrier cannot tolerate anesthesia or heat. Additionally, Boston Terrier pups are often delivered by cesarean section.
History and Background
Fortunately, the origin and history of the Boston Terrier has been properly documented, which is unusual compared to other dog breeds. A true American creation, the Boston Terrier was a result of a cross between an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier, which occurred around 1870. This dog was commonly known as "Hooper's Judge," named after the man who purchased the animal, Robert C. Hooper. It is now believed all modern Boston Terriers can follow their lineage to this 30-pound male. After crossbreeding it further with French Bulldogs, its physical and temperamental characteristics were refined. In 1879, the Boston Terrier was recognized by the Massachusetts State Legislature as the official state dog, and in 1889, the first dog club for the breed was established, the American Bull Terrier Club.
Because the dogs were often named and classified as Bull Terriers in competitions and shows, English Bulldog and Bull Terrier fanciers began to object to these new entrants because of the similarity of the breed name. The Boston Terrier Club of America was established in 1891 and soon thereafter officially changed the name of the breed to the Boston Terrier, taking the name of the city where the breed originated.
In 1893, after little more than 20 years from the breed's inception, the Boston Terrier was recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). This was rather unusual, as many other breeds take many decades to be recognized by the AKC. The breed's distinctive markings would later become a vital feature for the Boston Terrier and is now recognized as its most beautiful characteristic. Today, the Boston Terrier is an elegant pet and a wonderful companion to have.

We were pelted with strong winds, heavy showers and thunderstorms this last week and weekend. Even though it was Wednesday and Thursday that were initially on advisory and then relaxed, we were surprised by the return of this storm with an added vengeance on Friday. We commend our Lasik patients who had their scheduled Laser Vision Surgery on Thursday and braved the surprise storm next day Friday to show up for their one day postoperative visit. They smiled with their new vision as they expressed their concern over the rest of the day. Hurricanes can cause eye damage and Dr.Gulani has in a previous News Interview classified the modes of eye injury in a hurricane or similar natural calamity:
1. Direct Injury from the storm wind
2. Indirect injury from material carried in the storm wind that can act as high velocity missiles.
You may click on the link below to read one more interview of Dr. Gulani where he outlines injuries to the eye and their prevention 2002June15Ophth-Sports2pgs.pdf
One must follow the advise of the local authorities and additionally wear protective goggles if possible. Wash your eye if material gets into it as that can itself be harmful directly (ie. acids etc) as well as indirectly causing infections. Do remember among other things to carry your important eye drops of long term conditions like glaucoma etc. in the event that you have to evacuate. Do see your eye doctor immediately if you feel that you have injured your eye or if you feel as if something got into your eye. Below is a link from the American Academy of Ophthalmology for your perusal http://www.geteyesmart.org/eyesmart/injuries/index.cfm It is the Hurrican season in Florida so do be cautious and do protect your vision.

Protein modification
PSI-MOD is an ontology consisting of terms that describe protein chemical modifications, logically linked by an is_a relationship in such a way as to form a direct acyclic graph (DAG). The PSI-MOD ontology has more than 45 top-level nodes, and provides alternative hierarchical paths for classifying protein modifications either by the molecular structure of the modification, or by the amino acid residue that is modified.
