Article: Influence of the carbamate fungicide benomyl on the gene expression and activity of aromatase in the human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The carbamate fungicide benomyl reportedly inhibited the growth of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 by inducing apoptosis. However, influence of benomyl on the expression and activity of aromatase of MCF-7 cells remains to be examined, since benomyl was identified as an endocrine disruptor. We here confirmed through cell cycle analysis and immunofluorescence staining that benomyl damaged microtubules and caused apoptosis. We also found that benomyl inhibited histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1 and accumulated acetylated histone H3 in MCF-7 cells. Additionally, benomyl enhanced the levels of aromatase protein and mRNA, albeit at high concentrations. It is thus likely that benomyl enhanced the promoter activity of the aromatase gene via acetylation of histone H3 as does the HDAC inhibitor Vorinostat. In conclusion, benomyl remains to be a risk factor as an endocrine disruptor for breast cancer. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Article: Synergistic Antitumor Effect of a Combination of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin with Nobiletin from Citrus depressa on Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cell Lines.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Non-small-cell lung carcinomas do not sufficiently respond to cancer chemotherapeutic drugs. Combination effects of cancer chemotherapy drugs (paclitaxel and carboplatin) with nobiletin or powdered Shiikuwasha extract from Citrus depressa were examined by isobologram and combination index analyses. It was demonstrated that the combination generated a synergistic inhibitory effect against the proliferation of the human non-small-cell lung carcinoma cell lines A549 and H460 and that of the two chemotherapy drugs, paclitaxel was responsible for this synergistic effect. Furthermore, the percentage of apoptotic cells was decreased with increasing rates of nobiletin to paclitaxel and carboplatin. These findings were considered to be attributed to the ability of nobiletin to regulate cells in the G1 phase, which escaped cell death initiated by paclitaxel and carboplatin. An antitumor activity assay showed that this combination significantly suppressed the growth of subcutaneous A549 tumor xenografts in nude mice.Planta Medica 03/2014; 80(6).

Article: Anti-tumor activity of new orally bioavailable 2-amino-5-(thiophen-2-yl) benzamide-series histone deacetylase inhibitors, possessing an aqueous soluble functional group as a surface recognition domain[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: New orally bioavailable 5-(thiophen-2-yl)-substituted 2-aminobenzamide-series histone deacetylase inhibitors were synthesized. These compounds possess a morpholine or piperadine-derived moiety as an aqueous soluble functional group. Among them, 8b, having a 4-ethyl-2,3-dioxopiperazine-1-carboxamide group as a surface recognition domain, showed promising inhibitory activities against HCT116 cell growth and HDAC1/2. Notably, unlike MS-275, this compound did not induce apoptosis in the cell cycle tests. We therefore conducted antitumor tests of 8b and MS-275 against HCT116 cell xenografts in nude mice. Compound 8b reduced the volume of tumor mass to T/C: 60% and 47% at 45 and 80mg/kg over 16days, respectively. These values were comparable to the rate (T/C: 51% at 45mg/kg) for MS-275. Furthermore, 8b, at neither 45 nor 80mg/kg, induced the weight loss which was observed in the mice given MS-275 at 45mg/kg.Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters 03/2012; 22(5):1926-30.

Article: A Potent Inhibitor of SIK2, 3, 3′, 7-Trihydroxy-4′-Methoxyflavon (4′-O-Methylfisetin), Promotes Melanogenesis in B16F10 Melanoma Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Flavonoids, which are plant polyphenols, are now widely used in supplements and cosmetics. Here, we report that 4'-methylflavonoids are potent inducers of melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells and in mice. We recently identified salt inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) as an inhibitor of melanogenesis via the suppression of the cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB)-specific coactivator 1 (TORC1). Using an in vitro kinase assay targeting SIK2, we identified fisetin as a candidate inhibitor, possibly being capable of promoting melanogenesis. However, fisetin neither inhibited the CREB-inhibitory activity of SIK2 nor promoted melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Conversely, mono-methyl-flavonoids, such as diosmetin (4'-O-metlylluteolin), efficiently inhibited SIK2 and promoted melanogenesis in this cell line. The cAMP-CREB system is impaired in A(y)/a mice and these mice have yellow hair as a result of pheomelanogenesis, while Sik2(+/-); A(y)/a mice also have yellow hair, but activate eumelanogenesis when they are exposed to CREB stimulators. Feeding Sik2(+/-); A(y)/a mice with diets supplemented with fisetin resulted in their hair color changing to brown, and metabolite analysis suggested the presence of mono-methylfisetin in their feces. Thus, we decided to synthesize 4'-O-methylfisetin (4'MF) and found that 4'MF strongly induced melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells, which was accompanied by the nuclear translocation of TORC1, and the 4'-O-methylfisetin-induced melanogenic programs were inhibited by the overexpression of dominant negative TORC1. In conclusion, compounds that modulate SIK2 cascades are helpful to regulate melanogenesis via TORC1 without affecting cAMP levels, and the combined analysis of Sik2(+/-) mice and metabolites from these mice is an effective strategy to identify beneficial compounds to regulate CREB activity in vivo.PLoS ONE 10/2011; 6(10):e26148.

ABSTRACT: We have designed cancer antiproliferative compounds, starting from aniline or phenol derivative, which comprise one or two nitrooxymethylphenyl groups as do the hybrid drugs NCX4040 and NCX530. Compound 2a with p-nitrooxymethylbenzoyl-oxy and -amino groups as well as 8a with a p-nitrooxymethylbenzoylamino group showed more promising effects than NCX4040 against human colon and breast cancer cells. Since 2a and 8a, but not NCX4040, arrested human colon carcinoma HCT116 cells in the M phase, the former two compounds may inhibit cell growth differently from NCX4040. Merged images of immunofluorescence-stained α-tubulin and Hoechst-stained nuclei in human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells showed that 2a and 8a disrupted microtubule formation just as did vincristine, the tubulin polymerization inhibitor. In experiments in vivo, the intraperitoneal administration of 8a at 80 mg/kg/day reduced the growth of HCT116 xenografts in nude mice to T/C 55%.Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry 07/2011; 19(13):3995-4003.

ABSTRACT: New 2-aminobenzamide-type histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors were synthesized. They feature a sulfur-containing bicyclic arylmethyl moiety-a surface recognition domain introduced to increase in cellular uptake-and a substituted tert-amino group which affects physicochemical properties such as aqueous solubility. Compound 22 with a (2-hydroxyethyl)(4-(thiophen-2-yl)benzyl)amino group reduced the volume of human colon cancer HCT116 xenografts in nude mice to T/C 67% by oral administration at 45mg/kg, which was comparable to the rate (T/C 62%) for a positive control, MS-275. Western blot analyses as well as cell cycle and TUNEL assays by flow cytometry suggested that the two compounds inhibited the growth of cancer cells via similar mechanisms.Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry 06/2010; 18(11):3925-33.

I have an object that is to perform an action, and then sleep for 1 second before performing the action again. However, the object has variables that need to be accessible at all times regardless if it is in its one second sleep period. Is when the object's execution is suspended, are its variables inaccessible?
This is Python.
EDIT 1: Clarifying 'inaccessible':
Object A has variable x that Object B needs to access repeatedly. Object A sleeps for 1 second. Will there be a problem if Object B tries to use x while A is sleeping?
EDIT 2: Forgot to mention the two objects are running as individual processes (I'm using processes to avoid the GIL)
class QueueController(Process):
def __init__(self):
self.queue_stream = Queue()
self.queue_language = Queue()
self.queue_expander = Queue()
self.queue_feature = Queue()
self.queue_classify = Queue()
self.db = connect_to_db()
def run(self):
# Every second, allow 10 more tweets from the raw_tweets db
# enter the queue_stream to be processed
value = 0
while True:
for i in db.raw_tweets.find().skip(value).limit(30):
Will another object who uses this QueueController class still be able to use the 'queues_' variables even when it sleeps for one second? I'm afraid that sleeping stops execution, but also access to those queue_ variables as a side affect.

By Frederick Taylor
Bloomsbury, $30, 416 pages, illustrated
The British historian Frederick Taylor has written so brilliantly and incisively about Adolf Hitler that it is no surprise that he has turned his attention to the German economic meltdown generally credited with allowing that madman to take control of one of Europe's great nations. However, Mr. Taylor rightly begins his story much earlier, not merely with World War I, which ruined Germany and its political and economic stability, but with the fatal decision in July 1914 — before hostilities had even broken out — to abandon convertibility of its currency into gold.
The total inability of Germany's citizenry to have any faith in its national currency or credit inevitably had political effects long after a new system was established. Mr. Taylor illuminates these seeds — sown years before Hitler came to power, after the Great Depression delivered yet another blow to the still-bruised and barely recovering German economy — in a chapter titled "Everyone Wants A Dictator." They led to "a unique consensus of universal national catastrophe" and "many lost what trust they had in the Republic. Democracy withered. And then Hitler, the troublemaker from Munich, did finally conquer Berlin." And he shows no doubt of its continuing effects:
"This consensus still haunts the nation's collective memory and constitutes a decisive influence on German government policy, even in the twenty-first century."
"The Downfall of Money" does not just generalize and analyze. It is full of concrete examples of just what happens to people when their money has lost its value. Government could not raise the price of tickets for trains and buses fast enough, so they cost a pittance — so did movie, theater or opera tickets — whereas commodities necessary for survival could often only be had through barter — if you had anything to trade, that is. Fourteen dollar bills, changed one at a time each time for astronomically more marks, were enough to keep a young man going for a fortnight. However, as that man writes, "Admittedly I was in a privileged position. How many others could live off dollar bills?" And Mr. Taylor follows immediately with a case in point:
"An elderly Berlin literary man withdrew all his savings — 100,000 marks, formerly sufficient to support a modestly comfortable retirement — and purchased all it would buy by that time: a subway ticket. The old gentleman took a last ride around his city, then went back to his apartment and locked himself in. There he died of hunger."
Mr. Taylor's book, "Exorcising Hitler," proved the author's prowess at social and political historiography and a magnificent grasp of Germany as a whole. "The Downfall of Money" demonstrates that superb attunement to Germany anew and also his mastery as an economic historian. He examines the reasons why this catastrophe was a particularly "German trauma" and understandably frames his book in the context of the country's unease today with its submersion in the eurozone:
"Clearly, for all Germany's renewed prosperity, the ninety-year-old national sense of trauma has not yet been fully overcome. The problem for the world may be that Germany's instinct is correct."
That Mr. Taylor chooses to end his book with these ominous words shows how lingering are the effects of what he has so vividly and assiduously chronicled here.
Firmly and rightly grounded in its own time and place, "The Downfall of Money" nonetheless resonates in our own. I suspect that it reads — and perhaps might even have been written — very differently from just a decade ago. However, through current lenses, it screams the words "cautionary tale" loud and clear. Yes, yes, I know that losing a world war had so much to do with Germany's plight as to merit the old "aside from that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?" comparison. I know that our current financial policymakers count on American pre-eminence in the world safeguarding us from the consequences of their actions, and that in a world where crises result in a "flight to quality" — i.e., toward U.S. financial instruments — this has protected us thus far. Nevertheless, things can change awfully quickly, and then those chickens could come home to roost with their disastrous consequences — just when we can least bear them.
I was going to say that I wish all those who currently direct our finances would read this book, but then I suppose they would view it through their own self-justifying lenses. Still, it beggars belief that anyone could read this chilling account without realizing what can happen when you flout normative financial practices and political responsibility.

Gift brings professional development suite to School of Business students
September 30, 2015
Students now have a dedicated space to participate in interviews with potential employers from across the country or even internationally using the resources provided by the Phillips 66 Professional Development Suite in the School of Business at Emporia State University.
A ribbon cutting was held Sept. 23 to dedicate this space at Emporia State. Students, faculty and staff, along with university supporters and Phillips 66 representatives, gathered in the School of Business to celebrate.
Housed on the first floor of Cremer Hall, the Phillips 66 Professional Development Suite will serve over 900 business students who, with faculty and employers, can use the space to conduct interviews and other professional development activities both face to face and via video capabilities.
Juli Osborn, director of finance process and controls for Phillips 66 and 1980 School of Business alum, commented on the inspiration behind the donation that made this space possible.
"Phillips 66 is looking for the right talent to help us provide energy and improve lives," said Osborn. "Emporia State is recognized as a top regional school, and its students have a strong cultural and motivational fit for our company."
Last year, Phillips 66 committed to heightening the company's engagement with Emporia State, looking for innovative ways to provide support which directly benefit students in the business school.
"Our donation to Emporia State will help prepare students for the transition from academics to successful careers," added Osborn. "The new career services suite will give students a place to further their professional development, while improving their access to employment opportunities."
Students are excited to have a dedicated space within the school to meet with future employers.
"I think this is a great resource for our student body," said Moira Pyle, sophomore marketing major. "Having this space will give us the chance to interact with future employers in a professional setting."
In addition to establishing the Phillips 66 Professional Development Suite, Phillips 66 is an active recruiter of Emporia State graduates, participates in the Corporate Connections program with the School of Business and provides significant scholarship dollars for accounting majors.
"This gift by Phillips 66 brings new opportunities to our students," said Dr. John Rich, interim dean and professor of accounting in the School of Business. "This space will support our focus on preparing students for a career post-graduation."
For Jennifer Denton, associate vice president for University Advancement, the recent room dedication exemplifies the impact that Now & Forever: The Campaign for Emporia State University has on our students.
"In April when we received word that Phillips 66 would double its total annual support of Emporia State, I was thrilled," Denton said. "Vibrant, growing partnerships like these make a profound difference in our students' ability to reach their potential. We are so grateful for our relationship with Phillips 66."

Gennifer Flowers now has an advice column
If you've been missing*Gennifer Flowers ? New Orleans resident, political mistress of nearly 30 years ago and sometime-singer ? she's back with a new online advice column.
In an interview in the Daily Mail, Flowers reiterates her claim that former President Bill Clinton called her up for old times' sake during a visit to New Orleans in 2005 (a claim she made last year in an appearance on News With a Twist) and talks about her new advice column, "Ask Mistress Gennifer" (which leads off with a quote from Albert Camus ? take that, Dear Abby).
Flowers, who had a small nightspot called the Gennifer Flowers Kelsto Club on St. Louis Street in the French Quarter before Hurricane Katrina, continues to dine out publicity-wise on her association with Clinton, but she makes it clear she was on her way well before she met the former president. "I was singing in nightclubs, wearing very sexy outifts and gowns, a very independent liberated woman.? [ Read more ]

"Horrible Experience for A Recruiter "
Doesn't Recommend
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I took this job because I was promised flexibility. The benefits package that I was offered was great and immediate. There's room for growth if the owner can determine if she wants to "...get the right people on the bus, and the wrong people off the bus". In other words, if you're looking to work for company you can build with from the ground up, then this is your company. It's definitely a 'startup' operation (although I can't understand why it would take 5+ years to move from startup phase to growth phase, but oh well).
This is NOT the place for a seasoned recruiter to hang their hat. Nor is it a place for a beginner either. There's no training for newly hired inbound talent. Their's no IT infrastructure (ATS - TMS) and you can't mine for new talent and work within a developed automated workflow process either because their isn't one. No office phone, no internet, and no computers for workers is NOT A GOOD LOOK for new employees coming in the door the first day, who have made the choice to trust you (and their families) with their income opportunity is not a good first impression to present on anyone. We understand that many people use their own cell phones, and laptops, but this should be communicated in the interviews so potential job candidates have all the information they need to evaluate your job opportunity fairly against all the others they may be considering. If you're used to, or need to generate hundreds of applicant leads a day, this is NOT the place for you. They still rely on basically email, and their top recruiter boasts of 4 or 5 placements a year (amazingly while still getting a salary).
Advice to Management
Learn about, and adapt a Level 5 management style then decide who you want on the bus, and who shouldn't be on the bus. Get top talent to help grow the business, and let new hires know what you expect from the coming in the door, and give them the training, tools & other resources to do their jobs. As far as job applicants, please don't be afraid to correct simple things on inbound resumes like 'misspellings or punctuation' if it will help the job seekers earn the interview with a corporate or government client. By helping the job seekers, use the recruiters talent and past experiences more effectively, you'll help the business get from a level of 20 billable staff workers, to at least 100 or maybe 200 where you should be. This is just a humble opinion, and I welcome others who have interviewed and worked there to comment on their experiences as we have. The floor is open for comments.

What the Tech?: This MIT Invention Shape-shifts By Replicating Hand Movements
Users can interact with 3D objects by manipulating pins on a board.
Researchers at MIT are at it again, continuing to push the boundaries of physical space with projects that people at one time could have only imagined in Science Fiction.
The latest invention, built by students from the Tangible Media Group in the MIT Media Lab, is called inFORM, a computer-operated device that manipulates actuators and linkages to move a set of pins, allowing it to change shape 3-dimensionally, as if it were moving on its own.
According to the Tangible Media Group's website, where a video shows off inFORM's capabilities, the system is a "Dynamic Shape Display that can render 3D content physically, so users can interact with digital information in a tangible way."
In simpler terms, inFORM can easily connect with the physical world around it, moving objects on a table's surface with the swipe of a hand, and even mimic the hand's shape. The concept uses an overhead depth camera to track a users movements, or other 3D objects placed underneath it, which then triggers the pins on the board to move independently in real-time.
Researchers said the system has the capability of allowing someone on the other end of a video conference call to have a "strong sense of presence and the ability to interact physically at a distance," almost as if they were physically there.
Created by Daniel Leithinger and Sean Follmer with the guidance of engineers, software developers, and Professor Hiroshi Ishii, inFORM users can highlight portions of the pin-board—which is reminiscent of the Pin Art toy from the '90s—and raise them up without actually touching them, which could be a breakthrough for the architecture sector.
"InFORM would allow 3D modelers and designers to prototype their 3D designs physically without 3D printing," the inventors explain.
The image below, from a video created by members of the lab, explains how the device functions:

Re: More Star Wars films announced
It might be cool and fun to have a movie based around a handful of Jedi who managed to survive the Great Purge and flee into the distant corners of the new Empire in an attempt to hide and survive. EU materials (which may or may not suck and be worth one's time and attention depending on the story) have more than once depicted Jedi who successfully went into long term hiding on distant worlds outside the reach of the Emperor and Vader only to reveal themselves after the events of
Return of the Jedi.
Done right a "Fugitive Jedi" story might be entertaining with a lot of suspense along the lines of Harrison Ford's
The Fugitive.
A two-hour film of a former Jedi Knight staying one step ahead of a squad of Stormtroopers or even Darth Vader himself could prove a good investment of a movie ticket.

O Holy Knights
Since the annual tradition of getting sloshed with people you can barely tolerate has been neutered by PC, lawsuit-fearing wimps, the Eastside Records Christmas Party goes balls out to save your soul. Remembering the real reason for the season, Californias Knights of the New Crusade, clad in medieval chainmail, drop the gospel like it's hot with some nimble, punk-tinged garage rock. Their stance as warriors for Jesus ("What part of 'Thou shalt not kill' do you not understand?") is almost as eyebrow-raising as their signing to Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label. Whether the Knights blistering screeds against sin are sincere or tongue-in-cheek, the music is too much fun not to bang your head to. Thee Oh No's, Garage Shock, and George Moshington share the stage, while masked man DJ Horsepussy spins vintage seven-inch vinyl. 21-and-over.

Beauty and Sorrow (11 Edition)by Peter Englund
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
In this masterly, highly original narrative history, Peter Englund takes a revelatory new approach to the history of World War I, magnifying its least examined, most stirring component: the experiences of the average man and woman—not only the tragedy and horror but also the absurdity and even, at times, the beauty.
The twenty people from whose journals and letters Englund draws are from Belgium, Denmark, and France; Great Britain, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Italy, Australia, and New Zealand; Russia, Venezuela, and the United States. There is a young man in the British army infantry who had been considering emigrating until the war offered him its "grand promise of change" and a middle-aged French civil servant, a socialist and writer whose "faith simply crumbled" at the outbreak of war. There is a twelve-year-old German girl thrilled with the news of the army's victories because it means that she and her classmates are allowed to shout and scream at school. There is an American woman married to a Polish aristocrat, living a life of quiet luxury when the war begins but who will be moved, ultimately, to declare: Looking Death in the eyes, one loses the fear of Him. From field surgeon to nurse to fighter pilot, some are on the Western Front, others in the Balkans, East Africa, Mesopotamia. Two will die, one will never hear a shot fired; some will become prisoners of war, others will be celebrated as heroes. But despite their various war-time occupations and fates, genders and nationalities, they will be united by their involvement—witting or otherwise—in The Great, and terrible, War.
A brilliant mosaic of perspectives that moves between the home front and the front lines, The Beauty and the Sorrow reconstructs the feelings, impressions, experiences, and shifting spirits of these twenty particular people, allowing them to speak not only for themselves but also for all those who were in some way shaped by the war, but whose voices have been forgotten, rejected, or simply remained unheard.
An intimate narrative history of World War I told through the stories of twenty men and women from around the globe--a powerful, illuminating, heart-rending picture of what the war was really like.
In this masterful book, renowned historian Peter Englund describes this epoch-defining event by weaving together accounts of the average man or woman who experienced it. Drawing on the diaries, journals, and letters of twenty individuals from Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Venezuela, and the United States, Englund's collection of these varied perspectives describes not a course of events but "a world of feeling." Composed in short chapters that move between the home front and the front lines, The Beauty and Sorrow brings to life these twenty particular people and lets them speak for all who were shaped in some way by the War, but whose voices have remained unheard.
About the Author
Peter Englund is a Swedish historian, who has received numerous prizes in his own country and whose works have been translated into fifteen languages. He has also been working as a war correspondent in the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Englund is a member of the Swedish Academy (which awards the Nobel Prize in Literature), and in 2008 was appointed its new permanent secretary, an office he still holds.

Wildlife Watching in Glacier: Tips and Hot Spots
Here are key spots to see everything from grizzly bears to mountain goats in Glacier, plus tips on the best wildlife experience while always staying safe.
Here are key spots to see everything from grizzly bears to mountain goats in Glacier, plus tips on the best wildlife experience while always staying safe.
Glacier National Park is the undisputed "Crown of the Continent." Its glaciers acsend steep arêtes where mountain goats walk like acrobats. Acres of lush green parkland plunge down jagged red pinnacles, exposing some of the world's oldest stones. Waterfalls roar, ice cracks, and rockfall echoes in scenery still under the paintbrush of change.
Whale-watching has become a spring ritual off Bermuda's South Shore, the migration route for humpbacks as they travel from the Caribbean to north Atlantic feeding grounds. Between March and April, pods of humpback whales can be spotted even from the shoreline.
Bermuda may seem like a manicured garden, but many parishes maintain national parks and nature reserves perfect for travelers interested in seeing Bermuda's wilder side. Often these parks and reserves are excellent hiking and bird-watching spots as well.
Any good Florida road trip is rife with wildlife spottings. From endangered panthers to gentle manatees to fierce alligators, here's what to keep watch for.
Spend a little time on the Orange and Caloosahatchee Rivers, and chances are you'll see a West Indian manatee. Here's where to go to learn more about manatees and hopefully spot one of these wonderful creatures.
Ten days will fly by in Costa Rica, especially if you're looking to move there and trying to catch a glimpse of many different parts of the country. Erin Van Rheenen's whirlwind sampler of expat hot spots casts a wide net, allowing you to see as much as possible in less than two weeks.

'We are not here to be laughed at': Dwarf stars of new documentary set out to prove that being small is no big deal
- Primary school teacher Gillian Martin, 37, appears in My Dwarf Family
- She suffers from achondroplasia which affects around one in 15,000 people
- Her daughter Sophie, 13, also has the disorder but her husband does not
- Appeared in documentary to show people another side to small people
- Admires actor Peter Dinklage for his attitude
'The other day a lady in the Body Shop leaned over me and put her hands on my shoulders while she talked to someone else over my head,' says Gillian Martin, 37, a primary school teacher from Lancashire.
'People stare, take pictures with smartphones, are rude, physically touch us or pat you on the head ... It happens a lot and it's people of all ages.'
This is what life looks like when you live with achondroplasia, one of the most common forms of dwarfism. It affects between one in 15,000 and one in 40,000 babies born every year.
Happy family: Gillian Martin (centre) with her husband Stephen and 13-year-old daughter, Sophie features on ITV documentary My Dwarf Family
Gillian and her daughter Sophie, 13, were both born with the disorder and along with her husband Stephen the three of them are the focus of a new ITV documentary: My Dwarf Family.
The hour-long programme follows the trio as they go about their daily life, and Gillian insists that the one-off documentary shows life as it really is for those with achondroplasia.
Like others with the condition, she's had to get used dealing with practical difficulties and harassment on a regular basis and in the show addresses concerns about the future of her daughter as she enters her teenage years.
'I don't think body image will take over at
all,' explains Gillian. 'Generally speaking. she's always attracted stares, so at 14 she's
used to that.
'She's obviously delighted she's turning into a young woman but she's already had to come to terms with her body.'
For Gillian herself, tackling her teenage years was made easy by her supportive parents. 'I was just in a very positive environment and never let my height stop me.
'I've fulfilled everything I
wanted to do. The only big issue was getting a boyfriend at peer age. That was
the biggest, no, only drawback.'
Like others with achondroplasia, a genetic disorder that affects bone growth, Gillian has a normal sized trunk but drastically shortened legs.
As a result, getting around requires much forward-planning, but this notwithstanding, emphasises Gillian, she and her family are totally normal.
Gillian believes that some famous dwarves use their disorder as currency, but rates actor Peter Dinklage: 'He's a man who happens to be a dwarf. If Sophie ever wanted to go into acting, he'd be the one I'd tell her to look at.'
Normal: Gillian hopes the documentary will show viewers that small people are just like everyone else
Couple: Ben and Rebecca Taylor also feature in My Dwarf Family and hope to have children one day
'I wanted people to see a different representation of a small family on television,' she explains. 'The programme offers different perspectives [on living with achondroplasia].
'Other programmes showing small families have been quite negative but I wanted to show that we're just normal people with normal difficulties.
'We raise our daughter telling her she can be whatever she wants to be just like everyone else.'
One such negative representation comes, thinks Gillian, from performers such as Warwick Davis who are all too ready to make comic currency from their condition.
'A few years ago, he [Warwick Davis] appeared at a comedy awards show with Dara Ó Briain, sitting on his shoulder.
'I just thought no ... little boys sit on people's shoulders and he's a grown man. He's showing people that he's happy to be treated as a child and I just think that's not the right message.
'I've got nothing against the guy - he has a career and is trying to do a lot for awareness - but you have to think about whole TV audience. We need to get rid of the idea that dwarves are there to be laughed at.'
One actor who does meet with her approval is Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage, who plays the scheming Tyrion Lannister.
'He's a dwarf character but that's not the point of the role,' she explains. 'He's a man who happens to be a dwarf. If Sophie ever wanted to go into acting, he [Dinklage] would be the one I'd tell her to look at.'
Whatever career Sophie eventually chooses, her 'no-nonsense' mother will be right behind her. At the moment though, she's got more immediate matters on her mind.
'I hope people will realise that it's about getting to know the person rather than the difference,' she says of tonight's documentary.
'One of the beautiful things about my relationship with Stephen is that height has never been an issue. He fell in love with me for me.
'Apart from practical difficulties, we're just normal people who do normal things.'

This was as 7 part mini-doc that we did on a Winston-Salem businessman that makes popcorn.
Evan and I originally met Chad at a film festival that we were screening a film in. He was selling his popcorn outside of the auditorium and we initially struck up a conversation about the Square payment system he was using. Once we talked a little more in-depth about his operation we just knew we had to make something.
We filmed over a couple days and followed up a couple of months later. We had an absolute blast hanging out with and he is a genuinely cool guy, plus his popcorn tastes amazing.

Texas Cities Lead Recovery Employment Leaders In
BF 2013 Metro Rankings Report
No less than six Texas cities appear in Business Facilities' new top 10 ranking of Recovery Employment Leaders in the Metro Ranking Report released this week by the national publication which focuses on site selection and economic development.
The new rankings category cites the large metros that have exceeded their pre-recession employment levels. Austin, TX tops the list, followed by El Paso, McCallen and Houston. San Antonio appears in sixth place while Dallas grabbed eighth.
"It shouldn't surprise anyone to see Texas dominate our Recovery Employment Leaders category, since the Lone Star State as a whole recovered faster than anywhere else in the nation," said Editor in Chief Jack Rogers.
The Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin-Round Rock MSAs also took the top three places, respectively, in the magazine's Job Growth Leaders category, based on government statistics showing the largest percentage increase in employment.
Houston (Zone 84) and El Paso (Zone 68) also shined in BF's new ranking of top Foreign Trade Zones. The two Texas cities finished first and second, respectively, in our Top FTZs (Merchandise Received) ranking. Broward County, FL (Zone 25) and El Paso (Zone 68) took top honors in the Top FTZs (Exports) category.
Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles, Genesee County (NY) and Sioux City (IA) were the top five finishers in BF's Food Processing Industry Leaders metro ranking.
Raleigh, NC, Austin and Las Vegas topped the list of Fastest Growing Cities, while Ann Arbor, MI, Green Bay, WI and Bakersfield, CA were cited as Emerging Financial Centers.
The complete results of Business Facilities' 9th Annual Rankings Report will be posted on the BF website on August 5. The results also will be featured in the cover story of BF's July/August issue.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
