Webcast On Demand
The global economy driven by knowledge workers is increasingly reliant on virtual teams collaborating within and across organizations to gain or sustain competitive advantage. Best practices of virtual collaboration are continuously being defined and adapted as new technologies are developed enabling increasing efficiency. Yet, our understanding of virtual team dynamics is in its infancy. Differences in communication and culture styles and norms greatly impact the efficacy of virtual collaboration. Virtual teams form differently, influence differently and may require different workflows than on site teams while they are still held similarly accountable.
In this webcast you will hear from experts and practitioners about leading virtual collaboration and the virtual team dynamic. We will explore best and next practices in leading virtual teams across continents or across town. Our presenters will discuss how to leverage technology to better manage and facilitate virtual team collaboration.

All Aroiders,
This may be a hair off the subject, but here goes. I finally have enough
planting space to greatly expand my aroid collection. I need to know of
SOURCES where I can purchase small aroid cuttings/plants, either suckers or
tissue culture. I am interested in Amorphophallus, Alocasias, Colocasias,
Monstera, Xanthosoma, Zantedeschia, and aroid variegated, etc. There has to
be companies that propagate aroids by tissue culture. I would appreciate any
info. Sorry to say I will not be able to make the IAS meeting at Fairchild
which will be a great source for aroids. Thanks, Bob K, firstname.lastname@example.com

Suspicions Confirmed
— (1) In June, District Attorney Jerry Jones in Monroe, Louisiana, dropped drug and gun charges against college football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones (who play for University of Alabama but are from Monroe) –declaring that the "main reason" for his decision is that "I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning." (2) A Philadelphia "casting" agency solicited "extras" to show up at polling stations on the April 26 Pennsylvania primary day for candidate Kevin Boyle, who was running against state Sen. John Sabatina — offering $120 each (plus lunch and an open bar). Since most polling-site "electioneering" is illegal, the probable job was merely to give voters the impression that Boyle was very popular. (Sabatina narrowly won.) [Times-Picayune (New Orleans), 6-22- 2016] [Gawker.com, 4-27-2016]
— In January, a Chicago Tribune investigation revealed only 124 of the roughly 12,000 Chicago cops were responsible for the misconduct complaints that resulted in settlements (since 2009)– with one officer, for example, identified in seven. (A June Chicago Reporter study claimed the city paid out $263 million total on misconduct litigation during 2012-2015.) [Chicago Tribune, 1-29- 2016][Chicago Reporter, 6-22-2016]


text: Obamacare bombshell: IT official says HealthCare.gov needs payment feature http://www.cnbc.com/id/101211556 "A crucial system for making payments to insurers from people who enroll in that federal Obamacare marketplace has yet to be built, a senior government IT official admitted Tuesday. The official, Henry Chao, visibly stunned Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) when he said under questioning before a House subcommittee that a significant fraction of HealthCare.gov—30 to 40 percent of it—has yet to be constructed. "We still need to build the payments system to make the payments [to insurance companies] in January," testified Chao, deputy chief information officer of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the federal agency that operates HealthCare.gov." Note, this was reported by CNBC!

Practice areas & skills: Patent Application, Business, State, Local And Municipal Law, Trademark Application
People who invent unique products and processes need patent prosecution attorneys to apply for government protection of their inventions. Patent application lawyers are uniquely qualified to file your patents with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office, as they know what to file to show the unique quality of your invention and can clarify precisely why it differs from other similar patented inventions. The process is complex and a patent prosecution attorney usually has a related technical background. For example, a patent application attorney working on new cancer drugs may have a microbiology degree, or one working on new operating systems may have a computer science degree.

Black History Month Focus--"Hidden Figures"
If you haven't already, I encourage you to see the historical movie "Hidden Figures." The story plot is based on real events and the lives of three African American women who worked for NASA during the beginning of the U.S. space program.
Yet they persevered and gave significant contributions to the space program, which could not have succeeded without them. I am grateful that the real-life Ms. Katherine Johnson, one of the three featured in the movie, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 from President Barack Obama. That honor and this movie make it clear that these brave women are hidden no more.
Yet, people who are hidden figures continue to abound in this world of ours. They are people who have done incredible work for the promotion of good in the world and in the church but receive little or no acknowledgement. Many times, that is due to institutional racism that tends to reward the majority culture at the expense of people of color.
Sometimes people become "hidden" because of their gender, class, ability, orientation or religion. Whatever the reason, the effect is the same: devaluation, invisibility and a huge loss for all of us. That is because when one of us shines, we all shine. But when any of us and our abilities are cast into shadows or marginalized, we all suffer more than we can know.
Young people are looking for role models, and we need them in all colors, genders and walks of life for beneficial mentoring and progress to happen. We must acknowledge that everyone is gifted by God, fearfully and wonderfully made, and intended by their Creator to use their talents for the good of all. It doesn't work so well when some people are relegated to stay in the corner or in a separate place, while someone else gets credit for their work.
Another lesson of this movie is the importance of people getting out of the way to allow for social change. Had the film's white boss, Al Harrison, kept all the power to himself and others like him we may have never landed on the moon. He broke down barriers to let true giftedness in. This takes humility and courage.
Celebrating black history in February and throughout the year is important for everyone because we are all in this world together. As we remember the history and the stories of the past we can celebrate our gains together. And we can accept the challenge to do a better job of bringing our gifted leaders out of hiding, while empowering everyone to achieve for the good of all.

A Long, Long Way to Go
In early December I participated in an ecumenical dialogue held periodically between The United Methodist Church and the Roman Catholic Church. During the three-day meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, we visited the historic 16th Street Baptist Church. The church is historic partly for tragic reasons.
On September 15, 1963, just before Sunday school, a secretly placed bomb, made of 15 sticks of dynamite, exploded. It ripped through this house of holy worship and took the precious lives of four young girls: Addie Mae Collins, Carol Denise McNair, Cynthia Diane Wesley and Carole Robertson.
As I sat in that serene church on a sunny December afternoon, it was hard to imagine the horror of it all and the evil infecting the hearts of people who would commit such a horrific crime.
Following our visit there, we walked over to the Civil Rights Museum where we could see the patient, painstaking progress that has occurred step-by-step since 1963.
The words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s eulogy at the joint funeral of three of the girls were ringing in my mind: "This tragic day may cause the white side to come to terms with its conscience," he said. "In spite of the darkness of this hour, we must not become bitter. We must not lose faith in our white brothers. Life is hard—at times, as hard as crucible steel—but today, you do not walk alone."
Down through these many hard years it is at times clear that the African American community has not walked alone. Much progress has happened, and many on "the white side" have found their conscience, some even enough to journey with those trying to overcome racial oppression.
Fast-forward to the trial of Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who, just 18 months ago, entered the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and viciously killed nine people gathered for a Bible Study.
It is clear to me that we still have a long, long way to go. Despite years of progress, the evil root of bigotry is alive, though not well, and it sprouts acts of disrespect, blatant hatred and racially motivated violence every day. We—all of us—must challenge it and try to dig up that diseased root. It must become a daily effort and our daily witness.
I echo the words of Dr. King: "White people need to come to terms with their conscience." As we remember the life of this great civil rights leader, and as we celebrate the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on January 18-25, may white members of our denomination take time to deeply examine our conscience…down to the root. May we acknowledge sins of commission and omission, sins of thought, word and deed.
May we search our attitudes and behaviors, examine our church practices of reaching out and welcoming in. Do we use our voices, our political power to speak out against the continuing civil rights abuses in this country and for the improvement needed in human relations?
Where can we be in better alignment with, and a better reflection of, the great love God has given to us through Christ Jesus, a love that we are to share with all our brothers and sisters?
I pray that we all will strive daily to overcome hate and division and to embody what this "drum major for justice" called "a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love." Amen.

New Beginnings
The prophet Samuel in the Old Testament had labored long with King Saul's monarchy, but it was heading for a dismal end. Samuel was grieving the fall of this leader and his part in choosing this tall, shy young person from the tribe of Benjamin years ago. In the midst of his grieving comes a word from the Lord.
The Lord often talks to us through grief and times of uncertainty. It is often the place where we finally stop all our noise and listen to God's voice. Never shun grief and pain because there are clear and compelling messages that need our attention in order to move on in healthy ways.
God says to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons." (I Samuel 16:1)
The beginning of a new, godly monarchy begins with God commanding Samuel to put away his grief over the old one. May it be true for us as well.
As you ponder the new things you will do in this New Year be sure to intentionally deal with any residual grief of the old. Pray through this pain. Seek to reconcile with those you have wronged, and forgive those who have wronged you. You may even choose to seek professional counseling. Until the old thing is healed it will continue to creep into your "new" thing.
This thought is heralded well in one of our beloved hymns (UM Hymnal, #383) penned by Brian Wren:
This is a day of new beginnings,
Time to remember and move on.
Time to believe what love is bringing,
Laying to rest the pain that's gone.
For by the life and death of Jesus
Love's mighty Spirit now as then
Can make for us a world of difference
As faith and hope are born again.
Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
Step from the past and leave behind
Our disappointment, guilt and grieving,
Seeking new paths and sure to find.
Christ is alive and goes before us
To show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings
Our God is making all things new
May the "Spirit's daring" bring you a fresh start in 2017, giving you the courage to deal with past pain and then to move on!

We are living in a time when our country is becoming more and more aware of white privilege. According to Wikipedia, "White privilege is a term of societal privileges that benefit people identified as white in Western countries, beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political or economic circumstances."
Around our conference in recent months we have called white people together in small groups on our districts to learn about this reality in our world and in our churches. More of us will gather in churches and districts this month and next to discuss what it means to use that privilege and power to discriminate and build walls of institutional racism.
Many white people unknowingly have lived in a "white bubble" of family and social circles all their lives. They may not realize they have privilege that on a broad, systemic level causes harm to others who don't. These are important conversations, and we will—we must—continue having them, as we enter courageously into ventures over these next four years that respond to the Northeastern Jurisdictional Conference's Call to Action. It is a call to begin building racial awareness and understanding, while making progress in the cause for racial equity and harmony among all peoples.
Hearing privilege
Recently, I had lunch with an old friend who works with the Deaf community, and she told me about the new twitter feed #hearingprivilege. I have worked in the Deaf community for many years, but this was new to me. It is similar to the dynamics of white privilege. Hearing people have many more advantages than those who cannot hear. Yet it is often taken for granted. Here are some of the tweets:
"Hearing privilege is being able to hear the 'loud and verbal commands' given by the police before they shoot."
"Being able to find and meet with a mental health professional who speaks my language (sign language)."
"To be able to walk into your gurdwara (Sikh) or mosque, church or temple and fully understand and participate."
"To be educated in your own language, alongside people you can actually understand."
The truth is, everything we are and have in life can be a privilege. And it can all be shared with less privileged sisters and brothers.
I remember Deaf members of the Deaf Church I served in Baltimore having "seeing privilege." Some other members were deaf and blind; so those who could see had a privilege over those who could not.
Some of the Deaf members would interpret the visual signs of the worship services for the Deaf-Blind members through a tactile sign language that "spoke" into their hands. Thus, the Deaf-Blind members could "feel the Word of the Lord" by a tactile reception of the signs.
Privileged and unprivileged
The church, the full Body of Christ, is this amazing, diverse collection of privileged and unprivileged people living through a variety of situations and scenarios reflected in our races, ethnicities, socio-economic status, genders, abilities, sexual orientation, health, ages, and so on. We are, within ourselves, a unique collection of both privileged and underprivileged people on any given day.
Yet, no privilege is as universal as those that relate to the basic human body. Each of us has a body of some kind; and at best, most of us are "temporarily able-bodied" until the processes of aging and death take their course.
Disability crosses all lines of race, ethnicity, gender, class, etc. Sadly, however, many of our churches are ill-prepared to receive people with disabilities. Not only are they unable to receive them physically, with accessible buildings and services; but often church members have inaccessible "hearts" that fail to welcome disabled visitors. It is even harder to find churches that engage in the greatest form of accessibility of all: empowerment.
I was at the meeting of the NEJ Committee on Native American Ministries recently when its president, Cynthia Kent, praised the UM Church for offering her a place where she could be both a Native American and a Christian. "I did not have to leave who I was at the door when I joined the United Methodist Church" she said. "I praise God for that."
But as I consider disability access it is true that many people can't even get into the doors of our churches because of the architectural barriers. Many are still not able to even enter. Is that true of your church?
Disability Awareness Sunday
I encourage all of our churches to hold a Disability Awareness Sunday this year, whether on the official observance date of Jan. 22 or another Sunday. Use the Disability Awareness Sunday Resources website for sermon ideas, liturgies and hymns.
Invite a person with a disability to be the preacher. Do an accessibility audit of your church and report findings to your congregation. Explore avenues to serve and involve people with disabilities, so they can use their unique gifts to enhance the ministry of the Body of Christ.
I Corinthians 12:22 reminds us, "The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable." Understanding that principle and giving honor to those among us who lack advantages is the first step to eradicating "able-bodied privilege."

- Conference Disability Ministries webpage: www.epaumc.org/ministry/disability
- UMC Disability Awareness Sunday resources webpage: www.umdisabilityministries.org/dasunday
The Discipline, the book of procedure and legislation of the United Methodist Church, states that the church is to be inclusive, and that it should enable every person to participate in its life (¶ 139). It further states that all persons with "mental, physical, developmental, neurological, and psychological conditions or disabilities" are fully human and full members of God's family, with a rightful place in church and society. In recognition of this status, the church is to be in ministry with all people who have any special need, and to enable their full participation in its activities. The church is also to be an advocate for equality (¶ 162, emphasis added).
To recognize and affirm these statements, a Disability Awareness Sunday is to be observed annually. The date is determined by each Annual Conference. An offering may be received for disability ministries if the conference chooses to do so (¶ 265).
If churches want to receive and designate an offering on Disability Awareness Sunday, they can give it to UMCOR's "Disability Ministries" Advance Special # 3021054, which provides "resources and funding to develop ministries that include and empower persons with disabilities and their families."
Pastors and lay leaders may contact Disability Ministries Committee members in their districts to offer disability awareness promotion ideas. (See the list on the epaumc.org Disability Ministry webpage.) Or contact committee chairwoman Barbara Skarbowski at firstname.lastname@example.com or 717-584-6170.

"The Work of Christmas Begins"
A Christmas and New Year's Greeting from Bishop Peggy A. Johnson, Philadelphia Area.

Preach Social Justice on Sunday, Jan. 15
Advent is a special time of waiting, anticipating and preparing for the sacred, birth of Jesus Christ. So in this appropriate time I want to call on all of you to look ahead to 2017 and particularly to our growing concern for social justice.
The prophets who proclaimed the birth of Christ—including Isaiah, Micah, Jeremiah and Malachi—looked forward to this coming Messiah who would deliver salvation. But just as importantly, he would bring justice, freedom and righteousness for all God's people.
Isaiah 11:4 declares that "…with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth." Isaiah 61:1 proclaims him as one who will bring "good news to the oppressed, to bind the broken-hearted, and proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners."
The coming of Christ is forever connected to fostering right relationships between people, and it is a key part of the gospel that we need to preach in our pulpits and model in our ministries. John Wesley, our Methodist founder, said, "There is no holiness but social holiness." (Works of John Wesley, Vol. XIV, p321)
I ask that everyone preach a social justice sermon on Sunday, January 15, 2017. This is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday. His legacy in the forefront of America's Civil Rights Movement can be a powerful backdrop for any sermon. It is a legacy of striving against great odds to follow Christ in the pursuit of love, freedom, mercy and justice for all.
There are many directions that sermons preached on this day could go. But I urge all preachers to use this time to speak prophetic words about the social injustices that hinder peace and progress in the communities where you serve, or in our state or country.
Call on everyone who listens to do something about social justice as a response to God's Word. Ask and help people to become better informed, to participate in the political system, to speak out when people are being left out or oppressed, and to do something to make the world a more just and welcoming place for everyone to live.
In this way we can faithfully fulfill the ministry of Christ that we so happily herald during the Advent season. Sadly, too many of us soon forget the reason for this season and pack away our sacrificial sentiments along with the Christmas decorations when the new year comes.
Recently I viewed a documentary on Netflix titled "13," which refers to the U.S. Constitution's 13th amendment that abolished slavery. It explains in compelling ways the history of slavery, "Jim Crow" laws and practices ensuring racial discrimination and oppression, civil rights advocacy and the mass incarceration epidemic in this country.
Perhaps a timely social justice sermon could focus on the prison system. According to this documentary and other sources our country imprisons far more people than any other nation on earth. We have gone from 357,000 prisoners in 1970 to 2,306,200 in 2014.
One in three African Americans can expect to be in the criminal justice system at some time in their life. And although they are less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, African Americans make up 40.2 percent of the prison population.
How have our laws and money-making enterprises created this "prison-machine"? What are some better ways to live and thrive together on this planet with justice and respect for all? These questions can offer interesting topics for preaching, teaching, dialogue and active response.
Know for sure that if and when you preach this social justice sermon there will be some who will not be happy with you. "Good news to the poor" can mean not-so-good news to the rich and powerful. Truth and justice is never a simple, easy goal to achieve in this world. Many of those with money and power have the upper hand in controlling the process and would prefer to keep things the way they are.
Preach social justice anyway. Salvation comes from Jesus Christ, and along with our salvation comes a new way of living in which we are all equally sisters and brothers. Together, our goal is to be all that we anticipate and celebrate on Christmas Day: the loving presence and liberating power of Christ in this world. Amen.

World AIDS Day 2016
According to www.aids2016.org about 5,600 people contract HIV every day. That is more than 230 people every hour. Over one million people die every year from complications that stem from this immune deficiency; and since 1981 it is estimated that 25 million people have died from it.
This is a social justice issue because many who continue to contract this virus lack the educational resources to help them with prevention and the means to get treatment.
When World AIDS Day, Dec. 1, comes around each year it gives us a moment to think about this disease, including those who have died from it and those who are suffering from it. This reminder also calls us to try to do something more about a terrible local and global affliction that still threatens and takes too many precious lives.
One of the chief causes of HIV/AIDS is intravenous drug use. The National Institute of Drug Abuse states that the two are "inextricably linked," as HIV is transmitted by contact with blood or body fluids. This can occur through the sharing of drug-use equipment like needles.
In this country, there is a huge heroin epidemic in our communities right now. According to the New York Times (Oct. 30, 2015) there has been a 39 percent rise in heroin-related deaths, and huge numbers of people are being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS as a result. This is happening in every neighborhood, in every city; and yet, little is being said or done about this epidemic in our churches.
It is likely that every church has people in its pews who have addiction issues personally or in their families. Yet, we typically keep silent about it. What can we do?
On and certainly after World AIDS Day 2016 we can discuss and pray for people who have the disease and those living without loved ones who succumbed to the effects of AIDS. We can become informed and prayerful for medical researchers, clinicians and funders who are working hard to develop treatments, and for all those involved in the work of prevention and treatment.
We can have presentations and conversations about HIV/AIDS in our churches, and share with people that two of the important ways to stop the spread of HIV is to try to prevent and reduce addiction to drugs and the sharing of needles by those who use drugs. Abstinence needs to be taught to people, even though this can be a difficult conversation.
Addiction is costly in lives as well as dollars. Families, communities and our prisons are extensively affected. Encourage your congregation to welcome Narcotic Anonymous meetings in your church buildings. And donate to the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund (Advance Project #982345). This fund supports ministries that promote awareness and prevention and that create resources to help local churches with education and improving the lives of people living with AIDS.
World AIDS Day comes yearly around the beginning of the Christian season of Advent. This is a time of anticipating the coming of Christ. But that time of preparation should inspire us to examine our lives and our Christian responsibility to love and help our neighbors. Like Good Samaritans, we should help most especially those whom others might ignore or neglect.
This year look for ways to be personally supportive and involved—locally, nationally or globally—in education, prevention and treatment efforts that address our stubborn HIV/AIDS crisis and the growing drug addiction crisis that fuels it. As Christ's beloved, called disciples, help our world prepare the way of the Lord by sharing the Savior's love in tangible, healthy, transformative ways.
"A Look at HIV and AIDS"
Note: Watch "A Look at HIV and AIDS," a series of videos created by UM Global Ministries in observance of World AIDS Day. It offers a variety of perspectives on AIDS-related stigma. The series invites communities of faith to address the bias attached to those living with HIV and to become more educated and informed.

Background: Cognitive decline and dementia represent a key problem for public health as they heavily impair social functioning and independent living. The development of new strategies to support recommendations for patients and their caregivers may represent an outstanding step forward. Aims: To describe the study protocol and methods of "My Mind Project: the effect of cognitive training for elderly" (Grant No. 154/GR-2009-1584108), which investigates, by the use of a multidisciplinary approach, the effects of a comprehensive cognitive training programme on performances in aged subjects with mild–moderate Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment and normal cognitive functioning. Methods: The study is a prospective randomized intervention for the assessment of cognitive training effects in three groups of elderly subjects with different cognitive status. A total of 321 elderly people were enrolled in Marche Region, Italy. Each subject was randomly assigned to an experimental group or to a control group. Cognitive performances and biochemical blood markers have also been analysed before cognitive training (baseline), immediately after termination (follow-up 1), after 6 months (follow-up 2) and after 2 years (follow-up 3). Discussion: The results will be useful to identify some efficient programmes for the enhancement of cognitive performance in elderly with and without cognitive decline. Conclusion: The application of a non-pharmacological approach in the treatment of elderly with cognitive disorders could have a profound impact on National Health Service. © 2016 The Author(s) Source

The role of metallothioneins (MTs) in aging is not completely understood. Several studies have shown evidence that these proteins could represent a defense system against oxidative damage, but survival studies on mice overexpressing MTs are poor. Here we describe a survival study performed on old MT-1-overexpressing mice (MT-TG) and their respective controls (C57BL/6J) fed a standard or zinc (Zn)-supplemented diet. MT-TG mice had significantly increased survival compared with control. Zn supplementation affects the survival curves of MT-TG and C57BL/6J mice differently. This study poses the basis for intervention based on gene therapy with MTs to enhance the health span of laboratory mice. © 2012 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Source

My significant other and I had been out to dinner this evening. When we left the restaurant I notice the color in the sky starting for sunset. She knew the area better than me so I ask, how do I get to the shore? Everywhere she took me there was nothing to shoot or no access. With the sun having set and me not getting a shot I asked, how do we get out of here? She knew a shortcut through the marina so off we went. After driving through the marina for 5 minutes we get to a gate blocking access to the road we wanted. she apologized for taking me down this dead end and I said, that's quite already as I looked of to my left and saw this scene! We spent the next 30 minutes at this spot, me shooting, her watching!

Lecture 2:Crystal Symmetry
A crystal's unit cell dimensions are defined by six numbers, the lengths of the 3 axes, a, b, and c, and the three interaxial angles, , and . Unit cell is the smallest unit of a crystal, which, if repeated, could generate the whole crystal. Crystals are made of infinite number of unit cells
A crystal lattice is a 3-D stack of unit cells Crystal lattice is an imaginative grid system in three dimensions in which every point (or node) has an environment that is identical to that of any other point or node.
Miller indices A Miller index is a series of coprime integers that are inversely proportional to the intercepts of the crystal face or crystallographic planes with the edges of the unit cell. It describes the orientation of a plane in the 3-D lattice with respect to the axes. The general form of the Miller index is (h, k, l) where h, k, and l are integers related to the unit cell along the a, b, c crystal axes.
Miller Indices Rules for determining Miller Indices: 1. Determine the intercepts of the face along the crystallographic axes, in terms of unit cell dimensions. 2. Take the reciprocals 3. Clear fractions 4. Reduce to lowest terms An example of the (111) plane (h=1, k=1, l=1) is shown on the right.
Rules for determining Miller Indices: 1. Determine the intercepts of the face along the crystallographic axes, in terms of unit cell dimensions. 2. Take the reciprocals 3. Clear fractions 4. Reduce to lowest terms Another example:
Where does a protein crystallographer see the Miller indices? Common crystal faces are parallel to lattice planes Each diffraction spot can be regarded as a X-ray beam reflected from a lattice plane, and therefore has a unique Miller index.
Symmetry A state in which parts on opposite sides of a plane, line, or point display arrangements that are related to one another via a symmetry operation such as translation, rotation, reflection or inversion. Application of the symmetry operators leaves the entire crystal unchanged.
Symmetry Elements Rotation turns all the points in the asymmetric unit around one axis, the center of rotation. A rotation does not change the handedness of figures. The center of rotation is the only invariant point (point that maps onto itself).
Symmetry elements: rotation
Symmetry Elements Translation moves all the points in the asymmetric unit the same distance in the same direction. This has no effect on the handedness of figures in the plane. There are no invariant points (points that map onto themselves) under a translation.
Symmetry Elements Screw axes (rotation + translation) rotation about the axis of symmetry by 360 /n, followed by a translation parallel to the axis by r/n of the unit cell length in that direction. (r < n)
120 rotation 1/3 unit cell translation
Symmetry Elements Inversion, or center of symmetry every point on one side of a center of symmetry has a similar point at an equal distance on the opposite side of the center of symmetry.
Symmetry Elements Mirror plane or Reflection flips all points in the asymmetric unit over a line, which is called the mirror, and thereby changes the handedness of any figures in the asymmetric unit. The points along the mirror line are all invariant points (points that map onto themselves) under a reflection.
Symmetry elements: mirror plane and inversion center The handedness is changed.
Symmetry Elements Glide reflection (mirror plane + translation) reflects the asymmetric unit across a mirror and then translates parallel to the mirror. A glide plane changes the handedness of figures in the asymmetric unit. There are no invariant points (points that map onto themselves) under a glide reflection.
Symmetries in crystallography Crystal systems Lattice systems Space group symmetry Point group symmetry Laue symmetry, Patterson symmetry
Crystal system Crystals are grouped into seven crystal systems, according to characteristic symmetry of their unit cell. symmetry The characteristic symmetry of a crystal is a combination of one or more rotations and inversions.

Lattices In 1848, Auguste Bravais demonstrated that in a 3-dimensional system there are fourteen possible lattices A Bravais lattice is an infinite array of discrete points with identical environment seven crystal systems + four lattice centering types = 14 Bravais lattices Lattices are characterized by translation symmetry Auguste Bravais (1811-1863)
No. TypeDescription 1 PrimitiveLattice points on corners only. Symbol: P. 2 Face CenteredLattice points on corners as well as centered on faces. Symbols: A (bc faces); B (ac faces); C (ab faces). 3 All-Face CenteredLattice points on corners as well as in the centers of all faces. Symbol: F. 4 Body-CenteredLattice points on corners as well as in the center of the unit cell body. Symbol: I. Four lattice centering types
Tetragonal lattices are either primitive (P) or body-centered (I) C centered lattice = Primitive lattice
Monoclinic lattices are either primitive or C centered
Point group symmetry Inorganic crystals usually have perfect shape which reflects their internal symmetry Point groups are originally used to describe the symmetry of crystal. Point group symmetry does not consider translation. Included symmetry elements are rotation, mirror plane, center of symmetry, rotary inversion.
Point group symmetry diagrams
There are a total of 32 point groups
N-fold axes with n=5 or n>6 does not occur in crystals Adjacent spaces must be completely filled (no gaps, no overlaps).
Laue class, Patterson symmetry Laue class corresponds to symmetry of reciprocal space (diffraction pattern) Patterson symmetry is Laue class plus allowed Bravais centering (Patterson map)
The combination of all available symmetry operations (32 point groups), together with translation symmetry, within the all available lattices (14 Bravais lattices) lead to 230 Space Groups that describe the only ways in which identical objects can be arranged in an infinite lattice. The International Tables list those by symbol and number, together with symmetry operators, origins, reflection conditions, and space group projection diagrams. Space groups
A diagram from International Table of Crystallography
Identification of the Space Group is called indexing the crystal. The International Tables for X-ray Crystallography tell us a huge amount of information about any given space group. For instance, If we look up space group P2, we find it has a 2-fold rotation axis and the following symmetry equivalent positions: X, Y, Z -X, Y, -Z and an asymmetric unit defined by: 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 0 ≤ z ≤ 1/2 An interactive tutorial on Space Groups can be found on-line in Bernhard Rupp's Crystallography 101 Course: http://www-structure.llnl.gov/Xray/tutorial/spcgrps.htm
Space group P1 Point group 1 + Bravais lattice P1
Space group P1bar Point group 1bar + Bravais lattice P1
Space group P2 Point group 2 + Bravais lattice "primitive monoclinic"
Space group P2 1 Point group 2 + Bravais lattice "primitive monoclinic", but consider screw axis
Coordinate triplets, equivalent positions r = ax + by + cz, Therefore, each point can be described by its fractional coordinates, that is, by its coordinate triplet (x, y, z)
Space group determination Symmetry in diffraction pattern Systematic absences Space groups with mirror planes and inversion centers do not apply to protein crystals, leaving only 65 possible space groups.
A lesson in symmetry from M. C. Escher
Another one:
Asymmetric unit Recall that the unit cell of a crystal is the smallest 3-D geometric figure that can be stacked without rotation to form the lattice. The asymmetric unit is the smallest part of a crystal structure from which the complete structure can be built using space group symmetry. The asymmetric unit may consist of only a part of a molecule, or it can contain more than one molecule, if the molecules not related by symmetry.
Matthew Coefficient Matthews found that for many protein crystals the ratio of the unit cell volume and the molecular weight is between 1.7 and 3.5Å 3 /Da with most values around 2.15Å 3 /Da Vm is often used to determine the number of molecules in each asymmetric unit. Non-crystallographic symmetry related molecules within the asymmetric unit

Where you at George!V 2 Comments
One of the best fighter in the UFC history
He's "The Phenom." He's one of the best UFC fighters of all time. He beat the current champion Luke Rockhold by a kick to the jaw, it was brutal. He's also a former Light Heavyweight Champion. To summarize him up he's more sticked onto boxing, Jiu jitsu, and explosive striking. He's a legend.V 1 Comment
He is dominate in the octagon and has best ground game out of anyone ever - KOBEBLOWSV 1 Comment
Should be higher than McGregor he beat him once and should of beat McGregor againV 2 Comments
The big-heart of UFC. The record-setter. The Knock-Out Specialist. JDS.
Got revenge on his 1 loss twice beet Demetrious Johnson and loads of other great fighters and he is the bantamweight champions
Ortiz vs Shamrock, Ortiz hits and I'm sorry you're out. Ortiz should be in the top 5, and as a matter of fact where is Overeem?
Good in his prime but holds as 15-11-1 ZUFFA record plus is 3-8-1 in last 12 fights
Hendo should be higher. One punch knockout power and always willing to fight anyone and mix it up! Even when mixing it up means he or his opponent is going to go to sleep! I respect his heart...it is what makes me love UFC. Nobody wants to see some guy run and play defense; take notes Floyd Mayweather. Fortunately we will never have to watch that one dimensional game in the UFC because he would never make it there anyway!
His wrestling is his strength in his fighting and has proved that many times.
Heart for days. Easily one of the best to do it.

The Datsun Go budget hatchback is likely to adopt the new 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine which will debut in the Renault Kwid later this year.
Currently, the Go is powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine derived from the Nissan Micra. The unit uses expensive imported components.
Given that the kerb weight of the Go is less than 800 kg, the 68 PS 1.2-litre motor proved to be a zippy performer. However, considering that the car caters to a price sensitive segment where acquisition and running costs are prioritized over real world performance, Datsun could do with a cheaper powertrain solution.
That's where the new 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine comes into picture. Autocar India reports that Datsun may likely adapt this motor for the Go to drive the costs further down. The motor is engineered based on a low-cost design and sources 99% of its components from India, making it highly cost effective compared to the existing 1.2-litre unit.
The new 1.0-litre motor is estimated to produce around 65 PS which is good enough for the Go. Datsun could even uprate the motor's torque to suit the bigger hatchback.
Also read – Datsun redi-Go review
The shift to the smaller and cheaper power unit with a nominal compromise on performance seems to be a sensible way to go forward for the Datsun Go but it remains to be seen if the company will indeed do so.

Hi there,I'm fairly new to Internations, and also new to Colombia. I'll be based here for the next few months working and travelling.I see there is no Internations currently in Cali (which is where I'm heading for the next few weeks), and I was wondering if someone with more experience could shed a bit of light: is this because there is no interest there? Or would it be worth trying to set up a group? Then how would one go about doing that? I'm willing to start the process of setting it up, but would need advice from the more experienced members on how to go about doing this.ThanksLaura
