Nuclear Cybersecurity Woefully Inadequate
The risk of a major cyberattack on the nuclear industry is rising, potentially leading to blackouts or even meltdowns, researchers say.
The 2010 Stuxnet worm's infiltration of Iran's nuclear program was the most dramatic cyberattack the nuclear sector has ever seen. But it was not the only one. In one case in 2003, the Slammer worm infected the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in Ohio, leaving reactor core safety data unavailable for nearly five hours. In another example from 2014, hackers stole blueprints of at least two nuclear reactors and other sensitive data from Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., then demanded money from the company in exchange for not releasing potentially important files.

App-ril 10 in KC: RWallHD puts design in palms of engineers' hands
Mobile technology increasingly is becoming a part of the modern workplace as professionals ditch or supplement old practices to help them get work done when they're out of the office.
Wednesday's installment of "App-ril" features an app that a Kansas City engineering firm developed in-house for its own and other engineers.
RWallHD's use is highly specific in that it serves as a tool to design concrete retaining walls with to-scale illustrations.
But it's also an example of a business finding a way for its employees and other interested engineers to perform what seems like a complicated task while out in the field.
Read more details below.
App-ril is a daily series during the month of April featuring Web and mobile applications that Kansas Citians use.
Check out apps we featured earlier this month.
Name of app: RWallHD
Type: Mobile
Description: This interactive app helps engineers design concrete retaining walls in a matter of minutes, giving users control of all information with real-time graphic illustrations.
Coolest feature: The app redesigns the wall and updates the graphic every time the engineer changes dimensions or properties.
Development company: Leigh & O'Kane LLC, Kansas City
Developer: Ron O'Kane, firm principal

THE MORNING after winning Britain's sole Olympic sailing medal, Lawrie Smith was putting his achievement in perspective. 'We only spent six months and we won a bronze medal. That's good value isn't it?' he asked.
The British team entered the 10 events with hopes of winning four or five medals. Two-thirds of the way through, four were still possible. What went wrong? The chief coach, Rod Carr, opined that Britain, set in a blustery Channel and North Sea, does not provide ideal preparation in light-airs sailing, and the conditions were lighter than forecast in Barcelona.
What he did not say was that there is not enough talent at the top of British sailing and one reason for that is that competition is horribly fragmented.
The sport needs leagues, local, regional and national, in a limited number of boats all sailing the same type of race. That way there would be a ladder upwards for the winners, and a market downwards for equipment.
There will be a set of proposals given their first airing in September on how to improve for the event in Savannah at the 1996 Atlanta Games. That will be a light-airs venue, too, but at last there is some serious consideration being given to the idea that Britain's Olympic sailing centre of excellence should not be in Britain, but always at the next Olympic venue.
That would help, but so, too, would stronger leadership and tighter management. The coaching system has been undermined at the top level as personal helpers are sought by each competitor and, just as the competition needs more structure at the bottom so it would need more coaching just below Olympic level. To pander to the competitors at the top is not as good as managing them.
It is was simple enough to pinpoint one gamble, a directional switch by Stuart Childerley in the Finn, going for gold or broke; and it was broke. In the 470, Paul Brotherton and Andy Hemmings let the pressure get to them in a competition where the risk-takers were rewarded.
Penny Way, the women's boardsailing world champion,looked brittle throughout, her male counterpart, Barrie Edgington, had a bad regatta. At Olympic level such cracks will be mercilessly exploited. Britain needs to be able to compete at that level. The people who run the sport owe future generations the opportunity of excellence.

- Date: Tue, 1 May 2001 14:52:48 -0400
I am currently designing a 3-hinge glulam arch roof (r=31.33', span=59') for a roadway sand and salt shed. I am using STAAD to model the arches (I divided the arch into 20 equal straight line segments). I did this for more or less the convenience of manipulating the different load combinations required. My question is there any criteria I should be looking at for deflection due to seasoning (i.e. shrinkage or swelling). I know AITC has a method for computing the seasoning effects on deflection and radial stress for haunched or tudor arches but I have a true circular, constant section arch and I expect the equilibrium moisture content inside the building to be 18 to 25%. I don't any experience with glulam arch design. Any input would be appreciated.

Peterson is in Hawaii having a ball, and when the question of winning the NFL MVP comes up, he's extremely confident he'll win it according to CBSSports.com, via the Denver Post. "I'm going to win it, I will get it," he said Saturday at Aloha Stadium, site of Sunday's Pro Bowl, according to the Denver Post's Mark Kiszla. Peterson who will go toe to toe with Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, and Manning has had fun riling Peterson up. "Everyone should play like Adrian Peterson," Manning reportedly said. "The guy does everything full speed. The Pro Bowl. Promoting himself for MVP." Peterson of course laughed off the playful Manning. "I thought it was funny, man," Peterson said. "Manning is always pulling somebody's chain. This time, he got me. That's just the way he is. And I have a ton of respect for him." I guess one will win Comeback Player of the Year, and one will MVP. Both are impressive, but only one takes the cake.

The Fudge RPG I been working stalled partly because +1 or -1 is just too great a modifier using Fudge Dice. So I been looking at Heroes and Other Worlds by +c.r. brandon, an interesting mechanic that the game add d6s to represent difficult rolls like use of a untrained skill. If you are untrained you roll 4d6 and see if you succeed instead of the normal 3d6. It is an elegant solution to what GURPS does with modifiers like the ones for default skill use.
By now most of you heard that DnD 5e handles modifiers with its system of advantage and disadvantage rolls. For a positive modifier roll 2d20 and take the best roll. For negative modifiers roll 2d20 and take the worse roll. Again elegant.
For the following I am using the calculators at Any Dice.
The problem with adding 4D as a general negative modifier for system using 3d6 is that it radically changes the odd. Far further than what advantage/disadvantage does for DnD 5e. For example rolling a 10 or less on 3d6 is 50%. Change it to a 4d6 roll it becomes 15%. In contrast in 5e's rolling 11 or better on a d20 (50%) changes to 25% odds on a disadvantage and to 75% odds on a advantage.
Yes I realize 3d6 is a bell curve and the d20 uses linear probability. Regardless it is obvious that adding an extra d6 to a 3d6 roll low system is a major hit. And going the other way for a positive modifier (2d6) looks to be too generous. But then I figured out another way.
Why not roll 4d6 and take the three LOWEST when you want to grant a positive modifier and take three HIGHEST when you want a negative modifier?
I plug in the formula into Any Dice and found that the 10 or less odds of 50% now become roughly 73% for a positive modifier, and roughly 27% on a negative modifier.
Increasing the dice to the three lowest or three highest of 5d6 results in 86% for a positive modifier and 14% for a negative modifier.
Critical have 1.85% chance of occurring (roll a 4 or 3). On 4d6 take the highest or lowest 3 Criticals now go to 5.79% odds with a positive modifier, and 0.39% with a negative. With 5d6 it is 11.39% and 0.08%.
I like this, now sure how and when I will use this mechanics but I am adding it to my bag of stuff. If you like advantage and disadvantage in 5e and want to use it in GURPS, I think this is easier to implement than rolling twice. Plus the it has the virtue of working perfectly with all the quirks of a GURPS success roll as in the end you are still only totaling 3 d6s.
It was pointed out to me by +Douglas Cole that adding 1 die and taking the highest or lowest 3 is roughly equivalent to +1 or -1 to the 3d6 roll. This is a result of how the bell curve works with multiple dice.
For some adding d6s instead of modifier may be more elegant as you don't have to remember the rules for calculating the odds of a critical, 3 or 4 is always critical success and 17 and 18 is always a critical failure.

Batgirl constructed a series of underground bases known as Batcaves, or Batbunkers, around Metropolis and even at Super Hero High School. Unable to get any studying on campus done the day before semester finals, Batgirl flew to a mail bin in Centennial Park. The bin scanned and welcomed her. She dropped down a trap door and landed in the Batmobile which took her to the alpha Batcave. The giant dinosaur is a testament to her love of the prehistoric creatures. Surrounded by gadgets, suits, and a Captain Carrot poster, Batgirl settled in after 8 pm. However, she was interrupted when Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Lady Shiva defeated Giganta above her in the park. She took the Batmobile to the beta Batcave, her back up. She disturbed by more noise. It just so happened it was below the Lexcorp Garden Supply store where Lex Luthor ambushed Poison Ivy.
Batgirl returned to Super Hero High to access her last resort, the only completely soundproof Batcave. The downside was it was only accessible through one hidden passageway located in the faculty lounge. Once Commissioner Gordon left the lounge, Batgirl was all clear to access the retinal scan at the watercooler. A secret passage opened up but the power was out. Batgirl was ambushed by Lex Luthor. The day of the annual Hero of the Year ceremony, Batgirl took Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and Bumblebee to the arcade area of Capes & Cowls Cafe. She pressed the lower right button on the middle arcade. A bat icon appeared on the screen and the section revolved. They found themselves in one of the Batcaves. They checked Batgirl's surveillance to see if they could pinpoint Dark Opal's location. They departed for Centennial Park to chase after who they thought was Dark Opal but actually turned out to be a steampunk cosplayer late for his cosplay group.
During the following semester, on a Friday afternoon, Batgirl took Hawkgirl, Bumblebee, and the Flash to the alpha Batcave. She ran a D.N.A. scan on a strand of pink hair Bumblebee discovered at the scene of the Batjet's theft. The scan determined the hair was synthetic. Batgirl realized it was a wig. Flash revealed he knew who the culprit was and they returned to Super Hero High.

How fast is fast enough, in regards to website load times? Is four seconds fast enough? According to research, each additional second of load time can result in five-percent more viewers abandoning your page. That translates to a 25-percent abandonment rate, at four seconds loading time: a quarter of your visitors. For e-commerce sites, the page speed is even more critical. As little as one second of delay in your site load time can result in a seven-percent loss in conversions.
A slow site can have an impact even greater than lost viewers and conversions. Few potential visitors may find your site at all! Google and other search engines include page speed in their rankings, making a streamlined quick-loading site much more likely to be found by someone searching in your field. Fortunately, we have a few simple tricks to help speed up your website and increase your business.
Images and Videos
The largest files on websites, and thus, the slowest to load, are images and videos. However, you can follow a few simple tips to help speed up your site when working with these.
1) Resize your images. Look at your site and note how you are using each image. For example, if your logo only contains a small corner of your site, then you don't need a large resolution. Open your photo in any photo editing software, and resize to something more appropriate. This can reduce the load time of your page dramatically.
2) Compress and optimize your images and videos. Once you've resized your images, you can optimize them without losing any quality. Several free websites can be used to optimize images, such as https://compressor.io/.
Optimize Your Code
In addition to your images, you can optimize your website code following these suggestions:
1) Minify your HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files. When minifying files, you are removing extra whitespace, shortening the code, and reducing the file size. It is imperative that you save an unmodified copy of the file for future use, as minified files are much more difficult to edit by hand. One online tool for minification can be found here: http://refresh-sf.com .
2) Combine external CSS and JavaScript. Each time your website must reach out to another site to download a CSS or JavaScript file, there is a small delay, which can be avoided by hosting the files locally and combining them into a single file. In addition to minification, this can greatly speed up your site!
3) Defer your JavaScript. By loading your JavaScript files in the footer of your page, you allow the rest of the page to load and display more quickly. Otherwise, your site has to wait for all external files to load before displaying.
While we won't go into too much detail, one cause of a delayed website can be a slow website host. You'll want to make sure that your host uses gzip compression, caching, expires headers, and SSD storage.
Remember, the speed of your site directly impacts your business. If you don't want to undergo the hassle of doing these yourself, then consider hiring an SEO agency, and they'll be more than happy to help!

When my granddaughter was here at Christmas she told me that she wanted me to stitch a hamster for her birthday in April. She had even Googled hamster patterns and found the one she wanted. Of course the one she wanted was only a picture of the chart and I had no idea if it was an illegal copy or not. I was able though to see the designer's name on the pic.
After searching online I found out that the design was from a 1990 Just CrossStitch issue. I managed to snag a copy of the magazine on Ebay. Wouldn't you know it! The design was full of everything I dislike...... half stitches, quarter stitches, backstitching and the use of blended threads. I tackled it with gusto and managed to complete it in a little over a week's time.
It's amazing what you will do for you kids and grandkids, lol!
Here is Hamster, designed by Cathy Livingston.
The original design also contained some long stitches which were meant to be blades of grass. I started to put them it and found they just detracted from the main design so I pulled them all out and left things as is. I'm going to get out the sewing machine next week and stitch this up as a doorknob pillow with a sweet little hanger.
I hope she likes it!!

Alison Thorpe had hoped surgeons would operate on 15-yearold Katie, who has cerebral palsy, to prevent her from the "pain, discomfort and indignity" of menstruation.
But disabled rights groups said the teenager - who cannot walk or talk and is incontinent - would be put through unnecessary pain.
Scroll down for more...
Yesterday it emerged that doctors have told Miss Thorpe, from Billericay, Essex, they would operate only if there was a medical reason to do so.
"This means that if and when Katie does start her periods she could endure months and months of pain and discomfort before anything is done," she said.
Katie's plight echos the controversial case of nine-year-old Ashley X in America who underwent breast bud removal and hormone treatment to keep her in a child like state, small and manageable for her parents who care for her.
But Miss Thorpe believes the Mid-Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust has been swayed by the outcry from some quarters, including the cerebral palsy charity Scope.
She said: "I think the Trust has bowed down to what they perceived to be public opinion.
"But I have had overwhelming support from the public, both able-bodied and disabled people.
"The only opposition has been from disabled rights movements but I would say to them, 'Come and spend a week with me, walk in my shoes'. I've spent 15 years with my daughter, as a mother who loves her dearly I am trying to do the best I can for her.
"I think the Trust has bowed down to what they perceived to be public opinion, that is my personal belief. I have had overwhelming support from the public, both able bodied and disabled people.
"I feel the trust misread the so-called lack of support from the minority, groups such as Scope.
"I have not had any contact with any (disability) organisation, they do not know me or Katie. They have not provided any support or help for us as a family.
"I am not surprised by what they said but in in the way they said it. They have not been made aware of any of the facts in his case, they made up their mind before hearing the other side of the story, without referring to us.
"I don't want to take away disable people's rights, I want to give them choice."
Doctors initially suggested contraceptive pills and injections to stop Katie's periods but Miss Thorpe ruled them out because of the risk of thrombosis for her wheelchairbound daughter.
Consultant gynaecologist Phil Robarts, from St John's Hospital in Chelmsford, had discussed the options with Katie's mother.
Miss Thorpe hoped doctors would also remove Katie's appendix as it might not be apparent if she suffered appendicitis.
The Trust now says it cannot justify surgery on the grounds suggested by the mother.
However, Miss Thorpe, who lives with partner Peter Reynolds, 52, and has another daughter, 12-yearold Melissa, has written to the Trust's non-executive directors asking them to put a plan into place to operate as soon as Katie starts her periods.
She added: "It's one of those things, life with a disabled child is one long battle and this is just another step down the ladder."
"It was not unexpected. It means we move to stage two and carrying on fighting."
Sharon Collins, an executive director at Scope, said: "An irreversible procedure of this nature that is not clinically necessary is not the right way forward."Reuse content

Tipsy stopped by my house(uninvited) a few days ago. He immediately made his way over to the Holiday Cheer (bar) area of my house. He mixed up a few of his seasonal favorites and I must say, Tipsy is quite the Mixologist. Tipsy and I had a grand old time. It was getting late and the heater was on and Tipsy started to stain the rug so he bid me farewell. He left me with some drink recipes that are sure to put the Fa back in your La, jingle your bells (all the way) and Deck your Halls or those of your uninvited guests. So check back this week for some of Tipsy's Holiday Classics and spread some Christmas cheer of your own!
Warning us to Be Good while he spreads "Holiday Cheer" along the way.

Like all math calculations, you can work out the percentage of change with a formula. If you receive a raise at work, you probably want to know by what percentage your pay increased. Or maybe the value of your home has decreased and you want to calculate the percentage of decrease. Many daily situations arise when it might be handy to be able to measure the percentage of change.
Determine the amount of change in the numbers. Subtract the old amount from the new amount. For example, if it took you 45 minutes to drive to work today and 30 minutes to drive to work yesterday, subtract 30 from 45 to obtain a change of 15 minutes.
Divide the amount of change by the original amount. In our example, divide 15 by 30 to obtain .5.
Multiply by 100 to convert the result to a percentage. When you multiply .5 by 100, the result is 50. Therefore, your drive time increased by 50 percent from yesterday to today.

MS Sapphire & Emerald Redesign
#4 Posted : Thursday, April 27, 2017 6:28:02 PM
For more info, USA Today's website has photo slide shows of the MS Inspire and the MS Savor. They show most of the available staterooms - although the Cat 6 was skipped on the Inspire but has great photos on the Savor. I think they thought the Cat 5 and Cat 6 were they same since the sqft are the same. The layouts are different because the Cat 5's are above the Loft cabins and have to make room for the window/sitting area down below.
Here's hoping my Cat 6 on the Sapphire is the same as the Cat 6 on the Savor.

Hi: Ilene and Alvin from Tucson. We are excited about our first trip to Africa. What are the wall outlets like? We will need to recharge our iPhones and camera batteries.
After touring Cuba (and boy, was that great!) I returned to a pile of tasks that had to be done. The pile was messy and stale. So on Monday morning I launched into it, bore down and by the end of the day I was feeling pleased at how much I had gotten done.
Some people say they have "done" France and cross if off their bucket lists after visiting Paris. I'm not a big fan of that kind of bucket list. By that logic, someone could cross the USA off their bucket list after visiting Los Angeles. And they would know about as much about America as an ant knows about an elephant.
Tell us a little about yourself and we'll make sure you get the most relevant information.

Insulin Resistance: Skeletal Muscle Triglyceride Content of skeletal muscle is directly proportional to Insulin Resistance Increased Circulating Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) result in suppression of Insulin-mediated Glucose Uptake Triglyceride accumulates either by 1) Fat overload or 2) Diminished ß- oxidation Intramyocellular Lipid (IMCL) more closely correlates with insulin resistance than BMI, waist-to-hip ratios, or total body fat (mcGarry)
Which Came First? Insulin Resistance or Fatty Acid accumulation? With hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, Artificial elevation of plasma FreeFatty Acid concentration in otherwise healthy humans leads to: 1)22-61% increase in Intramyocellular Lipid content (Brechtel et al. 2001) 2)40-50% loss of either oxidative glucose disposal or Muscle glycogen synthesis (Boden 1995) With hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, Glucose infusions in healthy, young, lean yet insulin resistant Offspring of patients with type-2 diabetes: 1)60% decrease in glucose uptake within skeletal muscle insulin- resistant offspring of T2DM parents 2)80% increase in the intramyocellular lipid content (IMCL) 3)Co-incident 30% reduction in mitochondrial phosphorylation (Petersen et.al. NEJM 2004)
Mitochondrial Dysfunction Loss of Oxidative-Phosphorylation with subsequent declines in ATP generation Petersen et.al. PLoS 2005 MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) assessment of ATP- Synthase flux and intramyocellular inorganic phospate in healthy,normoglycemic (i.e. not "diabetic") lean Insulin-resistant offspring of T2DM patients versus non-insulin resistant controls Results: 1)Insulin stimulated Glucose uptake declined 50% in IR group 2)2-Fold increase in IntraMyocellularLipid Content in IR Group vs. 3)90% increrase in ATP synthesis rate in Control Group vs. 4)5% increase in mitochondrial ATP synthesis rate in IR Group 5)Insulin-induced phosphate increases correlated with insulin- stimulated increases in ATP synthesis in both groups
Mechanism of InAction Loss of Mitochondrial phosphorylation results in the accumulation of triglycerides and other Fatty Acid metabolites, particularly DAGs, Fatty AcylCoA, and ceramides that embed in the cellular membrane leading to a co-incident loss of insulin sensitivity. Deep pathologic mechanism involves the activation of Protein Kinaase C-Theta (PKC- ) and the serine/threonine phosphorylation of the Insulin-Receptor Substrate (IRS-1) inhibitting GLUT4 translocation resulting in decreased glucose removal from bloodstream Morino et.al. 2006
Pancreatic ß eta Cell: Glucose sensing, Mitochondria, and Insulin release Beta-cell mitochondria serve as fuel sensors that link glucose exposure to insulin release: 1)GLUT2 transporters introduce glucose to mitochondria causing increased ATP:ADP ratio 2)K+ gate closure--> depolarization 3)Voltage sensitive Ca++ channels open 4)Exocytosis of insulin storage granules to bloodstream ATP: ADP K+ Ca++ Insulin [1][2] [3] [4] GLUT2
ß-Cell Impairment: Loss of glucose-stimulated insulin release Superoxide radicals induce UCP-2 upregulation contributing to proton leak, ATP : ADP, and loss of glucose stimulated insulin release: 1)Hyperglycemia/Fatty acid excess causes chemi- osmotic overload and superoxide (O 2 - ) generation 2)O 2 - as oxidative SIGNAL, upregulates UCP-2 with decreased ATP production 3)Resulting in loss of insulin secretory response 4)UCP-2 upregulation decreases SO- generartion = tight negative feedback (SuperOxide Radical) ATP : ADP
Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) Produced in brown adipose tissue of newborn humans and hibernating mammals. (we eventually lose our " baby fat " ) Unique to mammals. Diverts energy from ATP generation to Adaptive Thermogenesis (Heat Release) Proton partioning Thermogenic uncoupling occurs in response to overeating and cold Decreases mitochondrial production of Oxidative damage Adaptive response to cold temperature mediated by norepinephrine with secondary effect of regulating energy balance. Increased expression due to Fatty acid-induced Superoxide generation from mitochondria. Inhibited by purine nucletide. NOT found in skeletal muscle. UCP1 expression in the smooth muscle cells can increase hypertension and dietary athersclerosis w/o effecting cholesterol levels (was this the problem with the GLITzares ask Dina)PPAR-gamma agonists UCP1 expression also causes INCREASED Superoxide expression in the vasculature = oxidative stress-induced vascular damage.
Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2) UCP1 homologue, but expressed in white adipose tissues of humans during feeding, rather than brown adipose tissue of hibernating animals. Widely expressed among mammals. UCP2 ubiquity in human tissue including macrophage-rich tissues Critical increase (with UPC3) in metabolic adaptation to fasting regardless of weight (lean or obese) Fetal hepatic hematopoeisis in Kupffer cells until birth due to UCP2 Possibly critical for macrophage differentiation Essentially Non-Thermogenic un-coupling Still induced by superoxide and "anti-oxidant" by negative feedback UPC homologue (with UPC3) of the skeletal muscle Inducible neuroprotective protein by cellular redox of apoptotic suppression Extensive expression in Spleen, Lung and macrophages suggests immunity or inflammatory dampening of ROS defenses Negative regulation of insulin secretion in Pancreatic Beta -cell contributing significantly to Type 2 Diabetes induced by superoxide generation
Uncoupling Protein 3 (UCP3) Found ONLY in skeletal muscle in humans (with UCP2) More homologous to UCP2 than to UCP1, and un-affected by cold And yet: possibly thermogenic in skeletal muscle based on function in yeast cells Critical increase (with UPC2) in metabolic adaptation to fasting regardless of weight (lean or obese). Player in energy balance Increased expression due to fatty acid-induced Superoxide generation from mitochondria. Inhibited by purine nucleotide. Not primarily conserved in humans for uncoupling purposes (?) and not a major determinant of metabolic rate Increased by fatty acid entry into mitochondria beyond its capacity for beta-oxidation. May be translocating fatty acids out of the matrix Possiblle role in " proton partitioning " (reproductive vs. repair ?) UCP3 overexpression may lead to hyperphagia without co-incident weight gain Muscle UPC3 increased by thyroid hormone and fasting Increased ROS generation associated with diminished UPC3 uncoupling effects. Yet still not required for bodyweight regulation, exercise tolerance, fatty-acid oxidation, or cold-induced thermogenisis Important in MDMA-induced hyperthermia
PGC-1 "peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-Gamma" Co-activator One Nuclear protein whose expression is induced by COLD (through adrenergic agonism), hi-caloric diets, and refeeding following fasting Induced within Brown Adipose Tissue and Skeletal muscle CAUSES: 1)Activates PPAR-Gamma to "proliferate peroxisomes" 2)UCP-1 upregulation or Adaptive Thermogenesis 3)Upregulatiiion for Genes of Oxidative-Phosphorylation 4)Stimulates DOUBLING of Mitochondrial content through NRF-1 and mtTFA PGC-1 links the external environment (cold, diet, oxygen, environmental stressors) with mitochondrial biogenesis thereby constituting the Adaptive Interface between outside and inside.

The boy nodded his understanding. "Can I ask you something?" The Jedi Master nodded. "What are midi-chlorians?" Wind whipped at Qui-Gon's long hair, blowing strands of it across his strong face. "Midi-chlorians are microscopic life-forms that reside within the cells of all living things and communicate with the Force." "They live inside of me?" the boy asked. "In your cells.…. We are symbionts with the midi- chlorians." "Symbi-what?" "Symbionts. Life-forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. Our midi-chlorians continually speak to us, Annie, telling us the will of the Force." "They do?" Qui-Gon cocked one eyebrow. "When you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you." Anakin thought about it for a moment, then frowned. "I don't understand." Qui-Gon smiled, and his eyes were warm and secretive.

Adrenalin stress types, under sympathetic nervous system stress, will trigger peripeheral coversions of Thyroxine to metabolically active T3 resulting not only in an upregulation of a basal metabolic rate but the increased expression of of all three uncoupling proteins (Ricquier Biochem Journal on UCPs) ( Masaki FEBS letter 1997)( Gong DW T3 B3 adrenergic agonists J Biol Chem 1997) SAVE THIS! PPAR -gamma can be upregulated by oleic acid perhaps:this could likely lead to upregulation of UCPs in the BAT (as thiazollidinediones upregulate UCP3 in adipose tissue yet unfortunately down regulate UCP2 in skeletal muscle)

Iranians are amongst the highest users of the Internet in the non-western world. In a country of almost 80 million people that's a huge opportunity we cannot afford to miss. As with television, there are considerable efforts by the government to restrict accessibility to sites outside of Iran, but where the people are hungry, they will find a way – and they do!
222 Ministries is providing thousands of Iranian Christians with free downloadable teaching materials in text, audio and video formats. Our Farsi Christian Resource Centre provides teaching and training resources for any aspect of Christian life, and through the Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN) we are publishing the latest news and developments, all from a Christian view point (FCNN is also available in English – check out the newsfeed at the right of this page).
222's Internet ministry serves just about every aspect of our work, from Children's ministry, to Bible college, to Freedom in Christ discipleship course. It also enables us to share pre-recorded TV programmes and answer some of the many questions from spiritually hungry Iranians. Two of our latest developments in this area are Porpasokh and Dastanema.
Porpasokh (Plenty of Answers) provides biblical answers to questions of faith through its website and TV programmes, and if the answer is not already available on the site, the team will research and provide one. It is an essential resource for non-believer and believer alike to come and ask questions about faith.
Porpasokh.com has so far published over 600 questions with answers. We aim to complete 1,000 answers to key questions of faith by the end of 2017. Already we have seen hundreds benefit from the answers and as word is spreading, we believe thousands will come to visit our site and TV programmes.
Dastanema (Our Story) is one of our newest innovations for hosting and sharing short testimonies from Farsi-speakers of how they came to faith. The short films are ideal for social media and connecting with young people who want real, raw stories from people just like them.
Since its launch, the popularity of the site has inspired the development of different language sections (relevant to the various people groups of Iran) as well as a feature which enables the viewer to directly contact and enter into conversation with the person sharing their testimony, all monitored through the website.
Thank you for your excellent website. I am interested in Christianity because of the research I've done and would love to know more. Can you please put me in touch with a house church? I'm afraid to share my thoughts with anybody because of the limitations in Iran and I can't trust anybody. Please give me some instructions. Porpasokh.com user, Tehran, 21
Iran is a young nation, with 70% of the population being under 30 years of age. Millions of young Iranians are surfing the web in search of hope and thousands are being saved through our work. Help 222 Ministries share the message of hope by getting involved.

Feet and calf pain?
I'm new to boarding, linked turns are going well, generally enjoying it a lot. However, when I ride longer runs (especially catwalks and offcamber runs where I spent a lot of time toeside) my feet and calves burn so bad I have to stop after a few minutes. It's not cramping, but more of a burning sensation. I've tightened my boots and bindings pretty snug to eliminate heel movement, but not so tight they cut off circulation.
My questions are, 1) am I using too much effort in my toeside turns or edge holds, 2) how tight should boots/bindings be and 3) is this part of the normal learning progression? Thanks in advance!
I def can't comment on your technique, but I find that a great way to avoid that or alleviate muscle soreness and fatigue is to stay hydrated. I found that when I ride with a camelbak and can take a drink anytime I need to my muscle-cramping and soreness both on the hill and the next day are greatly reduced. Water helps deliver oxygen to your muscles, and the burning is a build of of lactic acid. It's definitely a good idea to stay hydrated both on the hill and the day before. Snowolf posted something somewhere else about quickly switching back and forth between heel and toe to avoid muscle fatigue. I hope that helps.
By "Catwalks" I am guessing you mean Cat-tracks, at least that's what I've always heard... But yeah in my experience, this usually happens to me because of a few things:
a) I haven't stretched out properly before riding
b) It's the first day riding in more than 3-4 days
c) my boots are either too tight, too loose, or bindings stance is off
d) it's early season and my legs aren't fully back into it.
Usually D) is the main reason - after about 20+ days into the season this seems to happen to me a lot less. Also as magnetism pointed out, hydration is a big factor on top of these things.
Definitely keep switching between edges, or if possible, try riding switch. Sometimes on a slanted cat-track I'll ride switch to save my ankles from not being able to carve and switch edges.
This is fairly normal. It happens alot when u stay on the same edge for a long time. The way to fix this is to drink more, eat right, stretch, and work out your legs.
Its often newbs have not figured out to ride toeside with their quads and knees...they don't bend their knees enough...sink down bend those knees. What you are probably doing is riding "tippy toes" to maintain toeside edge. Use your bigger joints and muscles, i.e., knees and quads instead of calves, ankles and feet.
While some of what you are experiencing could be chalked up to muscle fitness and endurance, a larger part is which muscles are doing the movements. Rather than applying the pressue through the ends of your toes, try pressing the whole front-half of your booth onto your toe edge by pushing the knee out and against the tongue and laces of your boot.
Also, if you're ever in the gym, I've found settings on an arc trainer (not elliptical, but arc - different machines) that hit the areas frequently used in snowboarding. Strong/durable abs are also key.
Thanks to everyone for the great input. I'll work on bending at the knee rather than the ankle.
I used to have the same issue.
Untill I got inserts for my boots.
There amazing
this happens for me on long cat tracks as well, i just switch edges ever so often to relieve the stress a little bit..

Took the grandsons there after church. One of them had the "Pounder burger". It was hilarious. The rest of us had great chicken sandwiches.
You have to order and pick up your food, there is seating and the food is okay. Not memorable but not awful. I personally don't like standing in line trying to decide what to order. the staff was friendly.
Niner's grill has 9 oz Angus pattie. Wonderful food. They serve breakfast too. Family owned and my favorite.
I love coming here for some simply good food. Their fried foods are great, but I enjoy the burgers. The service is great and the setting is awesome. Always good.
I always order the same thing at Niner's & I always get it to go. It's a great salad & very large. Serves as lunch & then I & my girlfriend split whats left for a light dinner. I call in the order & it's always ready to go when I get there. I have heard many other people comment...
They have a wide selection of food here. They are a little slow but maybe that's because they are always busy. Love thier steak fries but thier chicken fried chicken wasn't the best I'd ever had. I'll go back and try more of thier food. They are close by.
Niners is a good place for meeting friends and having lunch. A large selection on the menu is sure to cover every taste. The restaurant is clean and well lighted.
My wife and I split the pounder. Bacon cheese are great additions. The fries are also great. This is not a nation wide chain, but family run.
This is our local "go-to" place when we don't know what to eat. From a burger to a club sandwich to fajitas to some great pie: they have a little of everything. We've been there at peak lunch time and still able to walk out in an hour. The prices are reasonable and portions are huge! Give them a try...
This is a place where you order at the counter and they bring it to you table. The manure s varied and good quality. We were there with a group and they handled it great. We red red as we arrive and the brought the food when it was ready. We have been there for both breakfast and lunch and...

It's easy to think of TREXPO as primarily a trade show. After all, some of the most interesting news to come out of each TREXPO usually involves some intriguing weapon or training aid. But the training and instruction that officers receive during the conference program at TREXPO can pay real dividends in the field. TREXPO West 2006 at the Los Angeles Convention Center was no exception.There are generally two types of classes at TREXPO, hands-on and straight classroom lecture. At this year's TREXPO West, however, the line sometimes blurred, as instructors in combative classes included some lecture in their programs.Hands-on combative programs at TREXPO West included:
Traditional lecture classes at TREXPO West included:
One of the best-received programs at TREXPO West was taught by retired LAPD SWAT officer Ron McCarthy of R.M. McCarthy & Associates. During his four-hour class titled "The Killing of SWAT Officers and SWAT Teams," McCarthy shared his experience as assistant commander of LAPD SWAT and as a SWAT trainer and tactical consultant.McCarthy urged SWAT teams to not practice routine and predictable tactics. For example, he said that many tactical teams get in the habit of always making an entry through the front door of buildings and houses when they should consider entering through secondary doors and even through windows.His key message to the class was to avoid complacency. "SWAT teams, sports teams, and businesses are most vulnerable when they come to believe that they can't be beat," McCarthy said.
