... raft trip down the river today, and saw a fisherman with his cormorant, although he didn't seem to be doing much fishing, so we assume he was either there for us tourists or he's a bank clerk who had a misunderstood his role. But that brings us to the end of our time in China, and we can't pretend not to be slightly relieved to be moving on to Hong Kong tomorrow. We plan to rest up and fill our boots with some recognisable cuisine for a few days before moving on to ...

At about 8.30pm we set off to see cormorant fishing which I believe may have featured in an HSBC advert. To be clear this is fishing with cormorants not for cormorants. What we saw was a demonstration for tourists; how much the trained birds are used to still actually catch fish To sell I do not know. This is how it works. The fisherman spends ...

He really is so much more than a pretty boy model wanna be actor. I love this clip of him from Supernatural where he barely says anything much. It's a scene of him reacting to his father talking to him for the last time in life, which Dean doesn't know at the time but he's picking up that something is very, very wrong. It's the quiet scenes without much dialogue that prove whether an actor has the chops or not, and this guy has the chops. The amazing thing is that his shots and JDM's shots weren't shot at the same time. He's reacting to nothing. Even without context the scene never fails to make me cry. It's beautifully scored.
A father's last talk
Damn, I'm a sucker for father/son relationships.
Powerfully acted scene. Dean's "Why?" does not look remotely like "acting".
I finally watched a full episode two weeks ago. Show definitely has some depth. It was the episode about the ghost of the kid haunting the school. The scene near the end, where the ghost inhabits the little girl and then after appearing all innocent looking, attacks (the other brother, not Dean).
That scene actually creeped me out. That has not happened to me since the X-Files left the air.
Now I'm thinking of getting the DVD's.

. After these statements by Accountant General Yaron Zelekha before Knesset committee after the State Comptroller having been involved already after the AG had instructed a criminal investigation by the police and this going on for months it is questionable whether State Comptroller as a single person / official should use his prerogative of stopping possible release of Zelekha to ensure a fast , thorough dealing with the investigation material assembled. The suggestion is to seek the ?advice? and executive power of its office to come to a real hearing, weighing of possible evidence against the Prime Minister and as a consequence ordering the authorities involve to proceed within a given acceptable short time. How a Prime Minister under such a criminal investigation, after being declaredly accused in a Knesset committee session of deliberately lying can continue unhindered in his functions? This question is directly addressed to the Attorney General and /or his ?stand in temporary replacement = Prosecutor General? ?.!!! In addition the State Comptroller raised a long time ago on the basis of evidence handed over to Attorney General the question of a possible criminal investigation into PM Olmert?s ?Bank Leumi etc dealings?.- C O M E D O W N T O A N A C T I O N C L E A R I N G W H E T H E R A C R I M I N A L T O B E D E A L T W I T H I S R A E L?

I am a 5th grade science teacher so I really enjoyed this little museum but if you are not into science, you might be bored. Kids who are into Dinosaurs would like it and they have a little play ground to play archeologist. I was driving from Zion back to Vegas to catch a flight and this is right on the way (5 to 10 min detour and on a main road so no getting lost). You can do it in less than an hour easily.

I am trying to detect foreground motion using opencv2 by removing static (mostly) BG elements. The method I am using is based on taking the mean of a series of images - representing the background. Then calculating one Standard deviation above and below that mean. Using that as a window to detect foreground motion.
This mechanism reportedly works well for moderately noisy environments like waving trees in the BG.
The desired output is a mask that can be used in a subsequent operation so as to minimise further processing. Specifically I am going to use optical flow detection within that region.
cv2 has made this much easier and the code is much simpler to read and understand. Thanks cv2 and numpy.
But I am having difficulty doing the correct FG detection.
Ideally I also want to erode/dilate the BG mean so as to eleminate 1 pixel noise.
The code is all togethr so you have a number of frames at the start (BGsample) to gather the BG data before FG detection starts. the only dependencies are opencv2 (> 2.3.1 ) and numpy (which should be included in > opencv 2.3.1 )
import cv2
import numpy as np
if __name__ == '__main__':
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) # webcam
BGsample = 20 # number of frames to gather BG samples from at start of capture
success, img = cap.read()
width = cap.get(3)
height = cap.get(4)
# can use img.shape(:-1) # cut off extra channels
if success:
acc = np.zeros((height, width), np.float32) # 32 bit accumulator
sqacc = np.zeros((height, width), np.float32) # 32 bit accumulator
for i in range(20): a = cap.read() # dummy to warm up sensor
# gather BG samples
for i in range(BGsample):
success, img = cap.read()
frame = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cv2.accumulate(frame, acc)
cv2.accumulateSquare(frame, sqacc)
M = acc/float(BGsample)
sqaccM = sqacc/float(BGsample)
sig2 = sqaccM-M2
# have BG samples now
# start FG detection
key = -1
while(key < 0):
success, img = cap.read()
frame = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
#Ideally we create a mask for future use that is B/W for FG objects
# (using erode or dilate to remove noise)
# this isn't quite right
level = M+sig2-frame

text: Before our run, my friend & I chatted briefly. We decided to push back our run to 6:30 pm, because we were both busy finishing up various projects. I could tell she was feeling some initial resistance to the idea of running tonight, because she started in with her usual tactics. ;-) She told me that it was 36 degrees outside and looked very cold, to which I countered that, according to the weather reports I'd seen, that it was actually closer to 40 degrees (i.e., 39 degrees to be exact, but I decided to round up by one degree to make the number seem more attractive!). Still, I knew I might need to do some more convincing. So, to further fortify the cause, I tried another tactic & and dispensed a bit of "tough love" couched in humor. I jokingly told her, "Oh come on now, no excuses this time! You're not going to bail on me, eh?!" I laughed afterward & added a "Only kidding!" at the end, but I'm pretty sure she knew that all kidding aside, I was not about to let her get out of it so easily! ;-) Of course, I knew she'd be just fine once we got started. After all, 40 degrees feels more like 60 during a run. And plus, there was no wind at all, which made running a lot more pleasant! So, the run went ahead as scheduled, with me running a bit late. I was finishing up some tasks that had a non-negotiable deadline & my computer was extremely slow & not cooperating. (Yes, needless to say, I've got the undeniably lousiest OS in the world -- Vista! -- but have been too busy to revert my desktop back to WinXP. I think my next computer will most likely be a Mac! ;-) ) Anyhow, I tried contacting her via her mobile around 6:20 pm to let her know I was running late, but wasn't able to get in touch with her. We met, with me waving as I was running towards her, offering my apologies for running late, etc., etc. We probably started our run closer to 6:40 pm (!). To make things even more interesting, today was our 20 minute run. My friend's reaction was rather funny because she'd completely forgotten that today was the "moment of truth" (& possible impending soreness!). And when I reminded her of what workout day we were on, you should've seen the expression on her face -- It was simply priceless! Of course, when I reminded her that her reward was going back to shorter intervals for our very next workout, that idea seemed to make her feel a tad bit better! (I often think my friend would make a great stand-up comic or comedic actress! In addition to her arsenal of hilarious facial expressions, she's got a knack for poking fun at the absurdities of life, and her comedic timing is spot-on. Her sense of humor is sharp as a tack, and can be very deadpan & understated at times. She's a lot of fun, but there's also a lot of substance there as well. I think most people have barely scratched the surface..... Anyhow, back to the story!) Next, we talked about our approach to the run, and decided that we'd take it slow. I told her that we could go as slow as she needed, but that it was important (especially psychologically speaking) for us to keep going & not stop. And then I told her that she most certainly could do this, as we'd only just run two 10-minute intervals during our last run together. She tried to bargain with me, and asked if we could do a 15-minute run instead, since our previous run had been several days ago, i.e., last Monday. Of course, my response was then to bargain right back & say, "Well, how about if we run the 15-minutes, and then see how you feel?!" ;-) I also promised to talk to her continually to distract her from focusing on the time & to keep us going! She laughed and expressed that this was a good thing because she wasn't sure if she'd be able to speak at all during the run! We stretched a bit before our run, & did our usual 5-minute warm-up walk. And sure enough, before we knew it, time had passed rather quickly. The first time she asked me what time it was, we were 11 1/2 minutes into our run. I told her that there were only a few minutes left to go to get to 15 minutes. And I resumed the story I was telling her. The next time she asked about the time we were 18 minutes into the run, which really surprised her. I think when she realized that there were only 2 more minutes left to go, she knew she could definitely finish out the run. I think that then, at that point, she started to believe it was possible for her to run 20 consecutive minutes, which is a big deal. I hope it'll be a major turning point for her. The final time she asked for the time, we'd arrived at the 20 minutes. I told her she did a great job & we "high-fived" each other! We chatted for a long time after the run. Before parting ways, we made plans to run this Thursday.

Menin and GIP are inversely regulated by food intake and diet via PI3/AKT signaling in the proximal duodenum
ABSTRACT Background and Aims:Ingestion of food stimulates the secretion of incretin peptides glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 to ensure the proper absorption and storage of nutrients. Menin is the 67 kDa protein product of the MEN1 gene recently reported to have a role in metabolism. In this study, we will determine the regulation of menin in the proximal duodenum by food intake and diet in correlation with GIP levels in the proximal duodenum of mice after an 18 h fast followed by 4 and 7 h refeeding and 3 months of high-fat diet.Methods:A dual luciferase assay was used to determine GIP promoter activity and ELISA was used to measure the levels of GIP after inhibition of menin through small interfering RNA (siRNA) and exposure to MAPK and AKT inhibitors. Colocalization of menin and GIP were determined by immunofluorescence.Results:Menin and GIP expression are regulated by fasting, refeeding and diet in the proximal duodenum. Overexpression of menin in STC-1 cells significantly inhibited GIP mRNA and promoter activity, whereas menin siRNA upregulated GIP levels. Inhibition of GIP expression by the PI3/AKT inhibitor, LY294002, was abrogated in STC-1 cells with reduced menin levels, whereas the MAPK inhibitor, UO126, inhibited the expression of GIP independent of menin. Exposure of STC-1 cells to GIP reduced menin expression in a dose-dependent manner via PI3K-AKT signaling.Conclusion:Feeding and diet regulates the expression of menin, which inversely correlates with GIP levels in the proximal duodenum. In vitro assays indicate that menin is a negative regulator of GIP via inhibition of PI3K-AKT signaling. We show menin colocalizing with GIP in K cells of the proximal gut and hypothesize that downregulation of menin may serve as a mechanism by which GIP is regulated in response to food intake and diet.

Article: MAPKs and Signal Transduction in the Control of Gastrointestinal Epithelial Cell Proliferation and Differentiation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are activated by several stimuli and transduce the signal inside cells, generating diverse responses including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. Each MAPK cascade comprises a series of molecules, and regulation takes place at different levels. They communicate with each other and with additional pathways, creating a signaling network that is important for cell fate determination. In this review, we focus on ERK, JNK, p38 and ERK5, the major MAPKs, and their interactions with PI3K-Akt, TGFβ/Smad and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. More importantly, we describe how MAPKs regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in the rapidly renewing epithelia that lines the gastrointestinal tract and, finally, we highlight the recent findings on nutritional aspects that affect MAPK transduction cascades.International Journal of Molecular Sciences 05/2013; 14(5):10143-61.

Zimmer 2 war dann nicht geputzt und alles dreckig (auch das Bett war nicht frisch bezogen). Nach einer erneuten Beschwerde haben wir dann zumindest frisches Bettzeug bekommen, durften unser Bett dann aber selber frisch beziehen.
