Path To Humility
READ: Psalm 131
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10
My friend declared, as he tried to keep a straight face, Im so proud of my humility! That reminds me of the joke about a leader who was given an award for his humility. Because he accepted the award, it was taken back the following week!
David seemed to be making the same error when he said, My heart is not haughty (Ps. 131:1). When we understand the text, however, we know that he wasnt boasting about his humility. Rather, in response to the accusation of treason made by Sauls men, David stated he didnt consider himself so important nor think of himself so highly as to have lofty eyes.
Instead, David learned to be like a weaned child in the Lords arms (v.2). Like a baby who is completely dependent on his parents, he waited on God for His protection while he was a fugitive under King Sauls pursuit. In his darkest hour, David realized his need and then advised his people: Hope in the Lord from this time forth and forever (v.3).
The path to humility is twofold. It involves knowing who we arehaving a proper self-esteem rather than thinking too highly of self. But most important, it requires knowing who God isholding Him in highest esteem and trusting Him for His best in His time. Albert Lee
Humilitys a slippery prize
That seldom can be won;
Were only humble in Gods eyes
When serving like His Son. Gustafson
When we think were humblewere not.
James 1:16-17 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights
With God's help...Mens sana in corpore sano
I listen to 91.3 Truth-radio out of Oxford. Excellent devotional today. Good job. If we should all learn humility, I think the world would be a lot more smiles.
rickck48-Life is one final lift to Perfection!
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for with out me ye can do nothing.
Goal: NOT there Yet, But haven't quit either!
All I have to say is I love Christian music, it's really hard to find artists this day and age who deliver positive messages. It makes me proud to hear my 2 year old daughter sing these songs, her favorite is "Slow Fade" by Casting Crowns, she likes to sing the last part w/ the little girl. What are your guys favorite Christian bands or artists? My favorite by far is MercyMe, I also a big fan of Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, Third Day, actually I like too many to name, my Ipod has a giant collection of them. Lately that's what I've been working out too, crazy enough I've even worked out listening to Dr. Charles Stanley preach.

Learning From Lincoln
READ: Proverbs 3:1-8
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6
The day before his 52nd birthday, Abraham Lincoln left Springfield, Illinois, to become President of the United States. With the threat of civil war looming, he said goodbye to the friends and neighbors who had come to see him off. I now leave, he told them, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.
Lincolns reliance on God for guidance and strength reflects the instruction of Solomon: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths (Prov. 3:5-6).
On this 200th anniversary of Lincolns birth, we celebrate his kindness, integrity, and courage. And we can also learn from him how to face a daunting future with confident hope in the Lord. David C. McCasland
Into His hands I lay the fears that haunt me,
The dread of future ills that may befall;
Into His hands I lay the doubts that taunt me,
And rest securely, trusting Him for all. Christiansen
Living without trust in God is like driving in the fog.
Relevant Humility
Sorry for the late reply, but here's something relevant to humility:
My son had his talent show last night in school. He and two of his buddies put together a skit and mom & I cringed as we watched. It was terrible (which blew us away because he is usually such an amazingly high achiever). I must admit that I had feelings of embarrassment and disappointment inside of me as I watched. I was feeling pretty low - as I watched the other 30 performances which were actually very good. Then I thought of yesterday's devotional which focused on "Humility". I gathered myself, and took a new view on the event. When I saw him after the show I told him he did a great job, and that I was proud of him for getting up in front of a huge audience and doing his thing. He gave me a big hug, then looked me in the eyes and told me "Dad, we were terrible - but at least we had a lot of fun doing it - he then ran off to the after-party down the hall, and had a lot of fun with his friends". After seeing how accepting and resilient he was of a small failure, I thanked God for helping me to be supportive and kind instead of saying something stupid.
Thanks for the devotional - it definitely helped me to be a better person!
Fantastic idea for a thread guys.........I'll mark this one.....

Enduring Love
READ: 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
[Love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7
Like many people, I enjoy the Google homepage artwork that appears on special days and holidays. Last Valentines Day, the artistic logo showed an older couplea man with a cane and a white-haired womanwalking hand in hand as the woman held two heart-shaped balloons. It was a beautiful reminder that while our culture glorifies youthful romance, true love has many stages during our journey through life.
Pauls great essay in 1 Corinthians 13 celebrates the depth and tenacity of the love that carries us beyond self-interest and mere affection. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails (vv.4-8).
Brian Wren has captured this reality in his moving hymn, When Love Is Found:
When love is tried as loved ones change,
Hold still to hope though all seems strange,
Till ease returns, and love grows wise
Through listening ears and opened eyes.
© Hope Publishing Co.
When our commitments are tested in the fires of life, no matter what difficulties we face, may God grant us a greater experience of His enduring love and the grace to demonstrate it each day. David C. McCasland
Gods love is a fabric that never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the waters of adversity.
We are so lucky to have a Heavenly Father who loves us the way he does, if God treated us half as bad as we sometimes treat our children by yelling when we shouldn't or possibly putting them down....life would be miserable.
James 1:16-17 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights

NCERT sample papers are now freely available everywhere. These sample papers are easily available in the printed format in the form of books with either only the page index at the end of the book and the contents list at the beginning of the book to search and select a subject or a paper. These are the only relief of going page by page to search for what you want from the book available. If you decide to go page after page every time it is a time consuming exercise and waste your invaluable time. What is best option other that these books?
Sample Papers of Class 7th can be available in your school libraries. But you will find a few copies making it difficult to get for your turn in time. If at all you get the copy to borrow with a short period notice to return you cannot go through them or keep it with you for long unless you either prefer to photocopy them or write all the questions meticulously without making any mistakes in a notebook which is again time consuming exercise. By doing all these exercises you will still be limited by choice of a few sample papers.
Another option to have these 7th class sample papers is to get CD/DVDs which many also available in your school library. Many of these devices are available could be old and many of such products do not allow you to test the products at their outlets. Therefore, you are not sure of the content. These storage devices limit your resources even if it paid for. You cannot have regular update on the content when there is annual revision of syllabus from the CBSE board. Even though, some of the publishers today provide a online update for such devices you are not sure when you are likely to get it.
NCERT 7th Class is a bridge year for students you will move on to high school, that is class 8th. It is your last in the middle school and penultimate year of your high school. You have undergo a lot of training to enter the high school years in your self learning process to prepare for the high school studies. You have to increase the degree of preparedness and also get a tight grip on the basic concepts of all the subjects including languages, science maths, and social studies. You require practicing your exercise to develop your self learning process and you need a lot of useful resources to practice.
Edusocial corners a new successful experiment where social networking sites provide for e learning tools in India have several resources for learning along with sample papers. The free sample paper tests available are prepared at different levels of challenges for you to overcome each level before you attempt the next higher level. Most of these sites also provide for expert support through the chat interface to seek guidance and help to solve these papers and get a free evaluation.

Serious props to Ogilvy's Chris Wall for being the only one to take the job seriously and providing a close-to-real-time commercial-by-commercial commentary.
Still very scared by the naked old guy humping the car (and damned if I remember whose car it was, so traumatized was I.)
So the naked guys were some college student's contest-winning entry. Now I feel bad about slamming her so hard.
Okay, bad-ish.
Without going into details, nothing stood out. Bud Light and Coke did okay- liked the crabs and the chainsaw for BudLite, the CGI send-off for Coke. Snapple Green Tea was funny and FedEd Turkeyneck made me laugh, but I'm a sucker for those sorts of jokes. Ditto Emerald Nuts/Robert Goulet-- that sort of absurd humor cracks me up every time.
Over on SuperAdFreak.com, the TV-Is-Dead crew showed their true colors from Seth Godin's "I'm done, I can't believe I'm a part of this lowbrow crap" rant at around 9 PM-- WTF- did he think he was judging a Shakesperean sonnet competition-- to Joey J's drunken rants.
Again, these guys ignore the way new media enhances old media, how being about to blog about, post about, obsesses about these Super Bowl spots-- and the ability to watch then ad nauseum on YouTube-- and the ability to follow up the experience online-- makes them more relevant and more of an event than ever. Which does nothing to diminish the power of television.
Fortunately for Tim Nudd, the aforementioned Chris Wall actually did what was asked of him: a just-about-real-time, spot-by-spot analysis. Favorite comment of all however, was David Lubars' passive-aggressive swipe at Eric Silver over the FedEx ads.
Night friends.

Here's one way not to start a presidential campaign: Apologizing to one of the Republican Party's most influential leaders.
But less than one week after declaring a run, it's how Newt Gingrich has started his—and the 72 hours of conservative spitfire that led to the apology is already sparking doubts about the former GOP leader's ability to compete in the wide-open battle for his party's nomination.
Gingrich apologized on Tuesday afternoon to Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., Ryan's office confirms, after Gingrich criticized the House Budget Committee chairman's plan to voucherize Medicare for those younger than 55. Gingrich said during a Sunday appearance on Meet the Press that it was a mistake to make the voucher system mandatory and called the plan politically undoable, setting off a storm of criticism that continued unabated until Tuesday.
Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler told National Journal his boss "apologized for his in-artful way of expressing his point" and said there weren't any "hard feelings between the two." But Tyler added that Gingrich wasn't backing off that criticism and that he wanted to work with Ryan to devise a plan that would be popular with the public.
"We look forward to help winning the argument," said Tyler. "And then we'll win the vote."
The former House speaker's campaign can only hope the apology dulls the torrent of criticism directed at it during the last three days. The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote that Gingrich "chose to throw his former allies in the GOP House not so much under the bus as off the Grand Canyon rim," while influential South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said his comments as "absolutely unfortunate."
RELATED: Even Schumer feels sorry for Newt
Their anger stems at least in part from the fact that Gingrich's comments have given Democrats a large cudgel as they use Ryan's budget as a political tool. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a press release on Tuesday blasting the Medicare plan as something so radical "even Newt Gingrich opposes" it. And Republican support for reforming Medicare, which nearly every member of the House GOP supported, is credited in large part for making a special election in a western New York congressional district, originally seen as a safe Republican seat, become a toss-up in the week before the election.
That could explain why even some former allies are suddenly brandishing sharp criticism. The fiscal conservative group Club for Growth, which on Monday released a white paper saying Gingrich would "probably be a pro-growth president," on Tuesday suggested the onetime GOP leader should change political parties.
"The Ryan budget, while not perfect, represents a great first start to talk about entitlement reform," said Club for Growth spokesman Barney Keller in a statement to National Journal. "And Congressman Ryan deserves praise for his willingness to discuss the important issues facing Medicare and other entitlements.
"And that's why it's beyond bizarre for Speaker Gingrich to call the Ryan budget radical," he added. "What's radical are Newt Gingrich's comments. Perhaps he's in the wrong party."
Gingrich's willingness to tackle what has become one of the GOP's central policy platforms—when his rivals have shied away from criticizing it even if not necessarily embracing its specifics—illustrates what could be simultaneously one of his greatest strengths and weaknesses. On one hand, he's capable of devising policy positions that stand out in a sea of banal talking points, unafraid to come up with his own ideas. In a wide-open primary, distinguishing your candidacy could be key.
"We're talking about a primary right now where the field is pretty much wide open," said Mike DuHaime, who ran Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign in 2008. "It's going to take something to distinguish one of the candidates from the others. So I don't think you should be afraid of throwing out ideas—take some good with the bad."
But Gingrich's penchant for controversy can also land him in hot political water, as it has this week. It was a weakness that afflicted him while in office, and it's unlikely 12 years as a political commentator taught him greater discipline. Gingrich needs to transform if he wants to be successful, said Jim Dyke, a GOP consultant who had worked with Haley Barbour before he decided not to run
"When you're a pundit, you're a constituency of one," said Dyke. "And when you're a candidate, you have millions of constituents in multiple states, including the national party."

SWG does not block web URLs
Hope all are doing fine.
i have few quries regarding Symantec web gateway.
1) i am very much confuse about network configuration of SWG, especial about management ip addressand inline ip address. do we have need Internet access for both management and Inline IP Addresses ? or only on Management? or only on Inline ?
2) Best practices for SWG for those clients who required?
3) i tried alot and many times to block Web URL but did not successfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll....... any one Guide me ,,, I followed step by step implementation guide.
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I have a couple questions:
Can you access the internet, and if you can are seeing any reports?
Are your internal networks advertised in SWG?
Your WAN line is going to be plugged into your Firewall on one subnet, and your Lan line should be plugged into to your local switch on a different subnet. You can access the device through the management or lan interface.
Which deployment method are you using?
1. Management Port and LAN/WAN Port IP address should be from two separate IP Address Class.
2. Both Management Port and Lan/Wan Port should have direct internet access through the Firewall.
3. Refer http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH96803
4. Sketch the network diagram and ensure the valid IP address is assigned to the LAN/WAN Port
5. Once you login to SWG web gui: Administration>Configuration>Network;
Test Ping from Management port and LAN/WAN port to internal gateway as well as an external public ip address.
6. Refer the Symantec_Web_Gateway_5.1_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf
7. The best and easiest technical approach of introducing SWG is to configure as SIMPLE Proxy
8. The endpoint/users browser be inserted with the LAN port ip address.
Best Wishes.

'Mild-mannered' Cumbrian man jailed for road rage attack
Last updated at 10:28, Wednesday, 19 December 2012
A motorcyclist had to leap over high iron railings when a furious car driver drove at him in a road rage incident at one of Carlisle's busiest road junctions.
It was only because Terence Chandler was so agile that, after the car knocked him onto the top of a rubbish bin, he managed to continue the movement so that he vaulted clean over the railings as well.
If he had not done so, a judge at the city's Crown Court said, the consequences could have been "disastrous".
The car driver – 44-year-old Penrith man Ian Bretherton – was jailed for three-and-a-half years for what everyone agreed was a classic case of road rage. He was also banned from driving for four years.
The court heard there was no obvious reason why Bretherton – described as "a passive, mild-mannered man who does not normally have a short fuse" – reacted so badly after a minor accident in which his Ford Mondeo made contact with Mr Chandler's motorcycle in Warwick Road, on Monday May 28.
Mr Chandler believed Bretherton had deliberately collided with him as the bike "filtered" past the traffic after coming out of the Tesco car park at Rosehill, prosecutor Alan Lovett said.
The young biker stopped "to make his feelings known to the driver" and, after getting off his machine at the junction with Victoria Road, walked to the car and punched the window "out of frustration and anger".
"By his own admission he said some things that he probably should not have said," Mr Lovett said.
But as he walked back to his bike he heard the sound of an engine revving and wheels spinning, then saw Bretherton's car coming straight at him. Mr Chandler minimised the impact by jumping into the air as the car hit him, the court heard, so that he landed in the road on his feet and hands.
But then Bretherton reversed, before accelerating forward and driving at him again.
Mr Chandler ran towards the wall outside the Botcherby Community Centre, and jumped up again, but the car hit him and knocked him onto a rubbish bin, from where he leapt over the railings.
The bin he had been standing on was "crushed" against the wall, Mr Lovett said.
Mr Chandler escaped with nothing worse than bruises to his hand, legs and body, but he was still traumatised and suffering so many nightmares nearly six months later that he was having counselling, the court heard.
His £6,000 bike was a write-off and he had now given up motorcycling.
Mr Lovett said that witnesses were "horrified" by what they had seen, and one told the police afterwards: "I thought he was trying to kill him."
Bretherton, who lives in a flat in Abbotsford House, Wordsworth Street, Penrith, pleaded guilty to attempting to unlawfully and maliciously cause Mr Chandler grievous bodily harm with intent to do so.
Defence solicitor Mark Shepherd said that Bretherton had been frightened when Mr Chandler started banging on his car window and shouting abuse at him, but for some reason he "froze" so that he was not able to phone the police as he should have done.
He said Bretherton had had psychotherapy to find out why he had reacted as he did.
The problem might have been made worse by the fact that for four years Bretherton had been experiencing "huge financial pressures" because of the £85,000 debts run up by a failed business.
Recorder Kevin Grice, told Bretherton: "It is a matter of the greatest good fortune – combined with Mr Chandler's agility – that the consequences were not much more grave."

We warned you about this winning phenomenon that was about to sweep over SECJams on Mondays, and today we bring you the third. There are a lot of factors we considered before giving out this award each week. They include the following; magnitude of the story, the impact on the community, the impact to the university, and most importantly did the program, university, or person WIN.
This week's award goes to the University of Tennessee Men's Basketball Team and first year Coach Cuonzo Martin. Martin in his first year is taking over a team that many analyst say does not have very many talented players. We would have to disagree with that assumption. Bruce Pearl was good at three things, advertising, finding ways to win, and recruiting two and three guards. He left Tennessee with a team full of two and three guards across the board, and a team that has players playing out of position. That does not make the team Coach Martin took over not very talented. It means it is going to be harder for to them win games unless they play together, play tough, and play hard. This group of young men did just this on Saturday January 7, 2011 to get an upset over the 14th ranked Florida Gators.
The Volunteers bought into what Coach Martin has been selling, and picked up a big victory 67-58 over the number #14th ranked Florida Gators at Thompson Bowling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee. It has been Jekyll and Hyde all year for the Volunteers. The team went to Hawaii and stood toe to toe with some of the best teams in the country; Duke and Memphis, and were defeated in close losses. Since their return to the mainland they have been hit or miss, and were coming in to this game off a terrible loss to Memphis for the second time. I am not sure what was said on the ride back to Knoxville from Memphis, but Coach Martin's players must have heard there coach loud and clear.
The Volunteers got out of the gate fast and took an early lead against the Gators, and the teams went back and forth in the first half. It was the Vols however that held the Gators to just 41.4 percent from the field, and outscored the Gators bench 11-0 in the first half of the game. It gave the Vols a 33-29 halftime lead over the Gators.
The second half started like the first ended for the Vols, and they expanded their lead with Josh Richardson's three pointer in the first minute of the second and never looked back. The Vols finally played the team defense that Martin was looking for from day one, and held the Gators to only 35.7% from the field and 31.8% from three point land. The team also started feeding the ball to the post in the second half, and outscored the Gators in the paint 32-20.
The group effort for the Vols paid off to get the win and finished with four guys in double figures. Kenny Hall came off the bench to lead the team in scoring with 13 points and 5 rebounds. Point guard Trae Golden and forward Jeronne Maymon both had 12 points and 9 combined assist for the Vols, while teammate Jordan McRae came off the bench with 10 points and 3 rebounds.
The Vols started SEC play in the heart of the schedule, and needed to win this game early. The Volunteers open SEC play with three straight ranked opponents. This weekend they bought in and played great team defense to get the win over the #14th ranked Florida Gators. The same toughness and togetherness will give the Vols a chance against #15 Mississippi State on Thursday night, and #2 Kentucky on Saturday. Right now Coach Martin has his talented bunch just WINNING!

Real-time emotion detection with Google Glass: An awesome, creepy taste of the future of wearable computers September 4, 2014 at 9:11 am
The wily geniuses at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have created the world's first real-time emotion detection app for Google Glass. The app (glassware, as Google prefers to call it) can also accurately detect someone's age or gender. Real-time emotion detection could be of great use for people with disorders such as autism, who often struggle to interpret facial expressions, or simply for people who struggle to divine their partner's true emotional state when they say that they're "fine.'

How to defend against EMP attacks December 5, 2013 at 3:49 pm
If you've ever watched The Matrix or Ocean's Eleven, you'll be familiar with EMP weapons — pulses of intense electromagnetic radiation that melts any nearby conductors, which can be found in just about any electrical system or electronic device. Despite their sci-fi-like portrayal by Hollywood, EMP weapons are very real, and very capable of destroying computers or knocking out a power grid. That's why the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany has now created a device that can defend against EMP attacks.
World's fastest wireless network hits 100 gigabits per second, can scale to terabits October 14, 2013 at 2:59 pm
German researchers have combined photonics and electronics to create a world-record-breaking wireless network that can send and receive data at a heady 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). This beats the same team's previous world record of 40Gbps. At 100Gbps, or a transfer rate of 12.5 gigabytes per second — ten times faster than Google Fiber — you could copy a complete Blu-ray disc in a couple of seconds.
New wireless network world record: 40Gbps over 1km, using EHF 240GHz May 21, 2013 at 10:17 am
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have successfully transmitted 40 gigabits per second over a one-kilometer (0.62 miles) wireless link. The technology, dubbed Millilink, is the same speed as the fastest commercial fiber optic links, and could represent a major breakthrough for carrier backbones, broadband internet access in rural areas, and ultra-fast last mile access for customers who haven't had fiber rolled out to their house.
Researchers create 3Gbps LiFi network with LED bulbs April 5, 2013 at 3:01 pm

How to Convince Your Parents to Transfer You to Another School
If you hate your school, your parents aren't gonna know unless you tell them. And even then, they probably won't take you super seriously and suggest you transfer. You'll need to do a bit of convincing to get them to see that your current school just isn't working. You'll need to do a little bit of buttering up, but also some logical thinking. Now before you change their minds, the question: You're sure you want to transfer, right?
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Have a good reason for changing your school. Are you changing your school because of the people in your school or because of lack of proper attention by your teachers. Keep a good reason in mind before you ask your parents about changing your school.
2Try to make them understand about the importance of a good environment.
3Know if you are really ready for this. Are you doing this because you broke up or had a huge fight with your friends? Do not change your school because of some dumb reason.
4Decide which school you want to go into. Tell your parents how going to "so and so school" would bring about a good change in your life.
5Show how your new school is better than your current school as in academics, sports etc.
We could really use your help!
- Parents are mostly concerned with the education system of the school. If your reason for changing your school is due to lack of good friends try to persuade them to know there are flaws in the education system of your school. This might seem to be deceiving them but you might have to do this
- Do a good research on the new school you want to get into. A school may be known academically but the people may be snobbish or rude.
- Remember good friends are hard to find. So if you have good friends in your school , it may become a set back for you in your new school.
- Your new school may turn out to be worse than your previous school.
- You may initially be lonely in your new school since you wouldn't know anyone.
- Changing schools can be expensive and can be inconvenient for your parents as they would have to buy new set of books, uniforms and commuting can also be a problem. The fees too might be high.

Gateway® Recombination Cloning Technology
- 99% cloning efficiency delivers the clone you need
- Maintain orientation and reading frame throughout cloning process
- Efficient cloning of single fragments into multiple vectors simultaneously
- Flexibility to clone multiple gene fragments into a single construct
There are various methods to enter the Gateway® platform, including use of TOPO® cloning vectors containing Gateway® att sites, or purchasing an Ultimate™ ORF Clone already inserted into a Gateway® vector.
Amazingly Versatile
The typical cloning workflow, such as traditional restriction enzyme cloning, involves many steps, and can limit your cloning success. For example, certain restriction enzymes cannot be used because they might cut within your gene of interest, truncating the insert and making the gene useless for downstream expression. Additional clean-up steps are needed with this method, as you experience low-efficiency recovery of recombinants from cloning large fragments, and you waste time screening colonies to find the clone you need. All of these steps take considerable time and effort, and success is not guaranteed.
In contrast, Gateway® recombination cloning technology circumvents these cloning limitations, enabling you to access virtually any expression system.
Gateway® Technology - Meet the Inventor Series
Gateway® recombination cloning uses a one hour, 99%-efficient, reversible recombination reaction, without using restriction enzymes, ligase, subcloning steps, or screening of countless colonies, thereby saving you time, money, and effort. Widely adopted in the research community with more than 1,500 references since its launch, Gateway® technology makes collaboration across research disciplines easy and convenient and enables access to a multitude of vectors from these research groups for truly multidisciplinary scientific studies. Finally, new advancements such as MultiSite Gateway® Technology make Gateway® cloning the ideal cloning method for protein expression and functional analysis.
Advantages of Gateway® Technology
- Fast, one hour, room temperature cloning reactions with >99% efficiency deliver the clone you need
- Maintaining orientation and reading frame without using restriction enzymes or ligation makes expression-ready clones
- Eliminating re-sequencing ensures consistent results throughout your experiment using the same clone from target identification to validation
- Shuttling insert DNA from one expression vector to another affords flexibility while simplifying your cloning workflow
Figure 1. Gateway® technology facilitates cloning of genes, into and back out of, multiple vectors via site-specific recombination. Once a gene is cloned into an Entry clone you can then move the DNA fragment into one or more destination vectors simultaneously.

Users have reported that attempting to play Eidos Montreal's recent Thief reboot yesterday--on April Fools' Day--caused the game to mess with their save files.
GameInformer reports that manual saves were vanishing, and that older saves were wiped of some data, notably side quests. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions were said to be affected, and those running on Windows 7 were able to fix the game by setting the clock to April 8.
There have also been numerous forum posts by affected PC users on the Thief Steam forum complaining about their saves being corrupted.
Square Enix confirmed that it was aware of the issue. "We're aware of an issue that seems to be affecting some Thief players, preventing them from completing some levels," said a company representative in a statement.
The error is highly unlikely to be an intentional April Fool's gag on the part of publisher Square Enix or Eidos Montreal.
"We're taking this very seriously--as a first step we're reading as many reports of the issue as possible, working to replicate it internally, so that we can understand what's causing it. We're sorry for any disruption to your game today, and we'll update you as soon as we have more information," concluded Square Enix's official response.
GameSpot has contacted Square Enix for more information.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: "The increasing demand for tires with longer life is one of the major trends witnessed in the All-season Tire market in Europe. All-season tires generally provide a longer life when compared to tires specifically used in other seasons, especially during winters. Winter tires are usually made with softer rubber, which tends to get worn out at a faster rate than all-season tires. As vehicle owners expect tires to have a long life-expectancy, there is a higher demand for all-season tires. Moreover, vehicle owners prefer all-season tires since they can save costs compared to other tires with a shorter life."
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the cost savings achieved with the usage of all-season tires. End-users across Europe prefer to use all-season tires rather than using different tires for different seasons. This helps vehicle owners to save costs since they do not have to change tires every season. This is in turn is promoting the usage of all-season tires, thereby boosting the growth of the All-season Tire market in Europe.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the lower performance of all-season tires compared to winter tires. Although all-season tires facilitate mobility on snowy roads, they are not the best option for vehicles during the winter season. This difference in performance between all-season tires and winter tires is due to the tread design, which is wider in winter tires and narrower in the case of all-season tires. This can have a negative impact on the growth of the market in the near term.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Ka-boom! Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat! Sha-wheeeeeel!
Those are just some of the sounds heard nightly in many area neighborhoods. These loud noises are caused by fireworks purchased to commemorate our nation's declaration of independence from Britain. These pyrotechnic celebrations, however, often go on many days prior to and after July 4.
In some neighborhoods, they go on until the last Roman candle, the last sparkler and the last firecracker are ignited. These celebrations can go on late into the night and even early into the morning of the next day. They result in lost sleep for neighbors, terrified dogs and cats, and the remains of bottle rockets littering front lawns and the roofs of houses.
As Press staff writer Becky Campbell reported in Wednesday's paper, some of the fireworks complaints Johnson City police responded to over the holiday weekend involved a group of teenagers shooting the explosives at homes, cars and even a police officer. One man told police that a firework was tossed into the open passenger window of his car and exploded in front of him around 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Johnson City is among a number of municipalities in Tennessee that restrict the sale and use of fireworks. There is no exception — not even for the Fourth of July or New Year's Eve. If you are found in possession of fireworks in Johnson City, police say they will confiscate them and issue you a citation.
Catching the culprits is the problem. Police say perpetrators often skedaddle long before they arrive. Perhaps this is where residents who are vexed by these noisemakers can help by capturing them in the act on a camera phone or other digital device. We also have a suggestion for Washington County volunteer firefighters who are raising money by selling these annoying and dangerous devices: You should also sell water cannons for neighbors to use to soak any pyromaniac who is rude enough to set off his fireworks at an unreasonable hour or on a day other than July 4.

COLLEGE STATION UPDATE 10:30PM Friday night
At approximately 4:22 PM the second suspect in this offense was taken into custody at the College Station Police Department after a warrant for his arrest was obtained by the Criminal Investigations Division. This arrest is in addition to the arrest of the first suspect on October 3, 2013, previously identified as Nicholas Troy Bogert.
Jordan Tanner Krob
18 years of age
Bryan resident
Charge: Aggravated Robbery
Krob is currently at the College Station Police Department pending transfer to the Brazos County Sheriff's Office jail later Friday night. Krob was identified as possibly being involved in this offense as a result of a Crime Stopper's Tip. Detectives with the College Station Police Department were able to find evidence linking both of the males to the offense during their subsequent investigation.
Viewer tips helped College Station police with the arrest of a suspect in a convenience store hold-up last month, according to authorities.
Nicholas Bogert II faces aggravated robbery charges. He and another person are believed to have held up the Exxon at Highway 6 and University Drive early on September 5. The clerk in the store was knocked unconscious.
Five days later, investigators released images from in the store. CSPD says Crime Stoppers tips and their investigative work led to Bogert's arrest, but a second person is still being sought.

Dennis Quaid has returned to the horrors of outer space with his new film Pandorum, which opens today. He plays Lieutenant Payton, one of two space travelers who awake from hypersleep aboard a massive spaceship, only to find that there's some seriously scary creatures on board with them.
The film's title actually refers to a syndrome that occurs with prolonged space flight, where one begins to lose their grip on reality. It takes place about 200 years in the future, when Earth is dying and mankind is on their way to another Eden.
Quaid, a veteran actor who's conquered a range of characters most actors would die for (including Jerry Lee Lewis and Doc Holliday, among many others), has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in recent years, particularly for his turn as General Hawk in G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. We sat down with the man to discuss Pandorum, as well as what's on the horizon.
CraveOnline: Just a while ago I caught your 2008 "Ellen" appearance, where she had you embarrass yourself, screaming in a Starbuck's…
Dennis Quaid: Oh, jeez.. (laughs) Yeah, that wasn't my most comfortable moment.
CraveOnline: Any other YouTube skeletons in the closet? May as well fess up now…
Dennis Quaid: No, no that I know of… thankfully most of the stuff I did that would qualify for YouTube material happened years before YouTube even existed. So I think I'm pretty safe.
CraveOnline: This is the second time you've played a spaceman, (the first being Gordon Cooper in the Right Stuff). What drew you to the part? Is it a kind of role that you'd been looking forward to doing?
Dennis Quaid: Well, first and foremost it's a really original, unique story. When I choose a movie, I'll ask myself: is this a movie I want to see? And yeah, this was definitely one of those. Payton is a great character to work with, especially the troubles he immediately faces in the film. I really liked that the audience finds out along with the characters in the film what's going on and who these people are. Payton thinks he knows who he is, but he doesn't even know that he's hiding something. He's in a sort of unconscious denial.
CraveOnline: So let's walk through this. Payton comes out of a hypersleep for this long space journey in a state of semi-amnesia, and the people who are supposed to reorient you aren't there…
Dennis Quaid: Right. When you wake up from hypersleep, one of the effects is you don't know who you are. Not only that, but we don't know what we're doing on a ship or even what our mission is. Somebody is supposed to be there to wake us up and fill us in, but they're not there. And we can't get anybody on the radio, and we're locked in a room and we have to get out. And once we do, that's when everything gets out of control and all hell breaks loose.
CraveOnline: We're already hearing talk of a sequel…
Dennis Quaid: If the film finds a real audience, Christian already has a trilogy in mind. One story takes place before this movie, and one takes place after.
CraveOnline: It's not frequent that an actor will buck the traditional trend of peaking in their thirties (younger for women) and scaling back as the years wear on. Did you set out to have such a major resurgence in film through your forties, or was it just a matter of dumb luck?
Dennis Quaid: Dumb luck, one hundred percent. (laughs) Really, I've just had a great time these past few years with roles that have gotten a little more attention. I'm just glad to still be here, you know? So many people that I started out with, I couldn't tell you where they are now. I've been very fortunate. Blessed, really.
CraveOnline: Hand-pick your ideal film collaboration.
Dennis Quaid: Wouldn't that be great? I'm a big fan of The Hangover. Did you see it?
CraveOnline: Yes! Easily the best comedy of the last twenty years.
Dennis Quaid: I think you're right. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time. I'd really like to work with Todd Phillips. I've had varying luck with comedy in the past, but I'd really like to give that another go. I don't know if I'd chase down a part, but if the right thing came along I could certainly see myself stepping into that zone.
CraveOnline: What can you tell us about your next project, Legion? You're also playing Bill Clinton in The Special Relationship.
Dennis Quaid: Legion was a lot of fun to shoot. It was a real unique apocalypse scenario that takes place in a diner out in the desert. Very much like a drive-in B-movie, but in a good way. As for The Special Relationship, it was a real challenge to play someone so well known. It was written by Peter Morgan, who wrote Frost/Nixon, and it's about the relationship between Bill Clinton and U.K. prime minister Tony Blair. I wouldn't have pictured myself as Bill Clinton originally, but that's part of what drew me to the challenge. You don't get a much bigger character challenge than Bill.

$9.29 per gallon is an enormous amount of money to pay for gas–that's well over twice the national average of $3.71 per gallon, but it's what I'll pay Hertz if I forget to fill up my rental car when I return it to Las Vegas's airport at the end of the week. I've often been struck by these prices when I've seen them posted (and once ended up paying them)–how can the market tolerate prices like those? Here's the economics behind outrageously expensive rental car gas:
- Unlike the car rental rates themselves (and gas at a service station), car-return gas prices aren't competitive. There's no easy way to compare Hertz's refill price to Avis's or National's before renting the way customers can compare their car-rental rates, so rental companies are generally free to charge whatever they want without regard to competitors' prices.
- Customers are captive once they reach the point of transaction. Refill prices are usually posted near where you check out the car in the first place, but if you're planning on filling up your car before returning it you're unlikely to pay much attention. The next time you're presented with the price, it's too late to avoid paying it: you're probably at the car-return area inside a set of severe-tire-damage spikes, so it's impossible to back out of a fuel purchase and buy gas at a nearby gas station.
- There's a principal-agent problem at work here. Frequent business travelers are the most lucrative customers for car rental companies, and when they travel someone else pays their bills. Sometimes these travelers are willing to pay much more than necessary for gas if it saves them a bit of time–spending the principal's money in order to accrue some personal benefit to the agent (a few minutes' extra sleep, or enough time to visit the airport bar before a flight). Demand for convenient gasoline will be much less elastic when someone other than the consumer is paying, so the price for convenient gasoline marketed to business travelers is high. (Principal-agent problems play a large role in travel industry marketing of all sorts–they're the impetus for frequent-flyer programs and other rewards: you book your ticket, your company pays, and you get the free flights that result.)
- Finally, there are some real costs that the rental companies are passing on: Airports charge high rents to tenants like car rental agencies, so the cost of maintaining a special area for refueling is somewhat higher than it is for a typical highway gas station. Plus, rental car companies probably can't buy gasoline at the same wholesale discounts that gas stations can. So I think there's some cost-based justification for rental companies charging high prices for refills, but I suspect that the demand-based reasons above play a much larger role in pushing gas toward $9 per gallon.

Prudential Personal Pension
The Prudential Personal Pension is no longer available for new customers, but existing customers are able to stop, restart and increase payments, as well as transfer pensions into this plan.
Existing customers are also able to switch funds at any time, for which there is currently no switching charge. However, a Market Value Reduction may be applied to any switch out of the With-Profits Fund. Note that as a result of this the fund value might be reduced. Please see the fund guide for further information.
If you are a customer that has stopped paying into your pension, and are now in a position to start contributing again, or if you are already contributing regularly to your Prudential pension but would like to increase your payments, there are significant benefits in doing so. The sooner you boost your pension pot, the longer your money will have to grow, and you'll also get tax relief on your contributions.
Bear in mind that the value of your investment may go down as well as up and you may not get back your original investment.
Existing customers
To find our more about changing your payments, transferring a pension in and the features of your Prudential Personal Pension, please see our dedicated page for you within the Existing Customers section.
*This is based on our understanding, as at April 2015, of current taxation, legislation and HM Revenue & Customs practice, all of which is liable to change without notice. The impact of taxation (and any tax relief) depends on individual circumstances.
