Style: Advanced Style
I am so pleased to share this inspiring blog with you today. Ari Seth Cohen, the creator of Advanced Style, strolls the bustling streets of New York City and beyond, capturing those with an inherent strong spirit and a pronounced sense of personal style—who celebrate their age with confidence and grace. Ari began the blog so inspired by his own grandmother's unique and personal style, and the amazing style, he discovered, of so many seniors. Perhaps beyond what he had originally imagined, the blog has advanced wonderfully and organically over the past three years, and now, he has now authored a book!
The book will be released in April, but you may wish to pre-order a copy now. Here is an exerpt from the Amazon page: "Advanced Style is Ari Seth Cohen's blog-based ode to the confidence, beauty, and fashion that can only be achieved through the experience of a life lived glamorously. It is a collection of street fashion unlike any seen before—focused on the over-60 set in the world's most stylish locales. The (mostly) ladies of Advanced Style are enjoying their later years with grace and panache, marching to the beat of their own drummer. These timeless images and words of wisdom provide fashion inspiration for all ages and prove that age is nothing but a state of mind.
The Advanced Style book will showcase, in luscious full-color, the best of the blog, but will also act as a true guidebook with all-new material featuring wardrobes, interviews, stories, and advice from a cadre of his most chic subjects, along with a large selection of never-before-seen photography—fresh off of sidewalk catwalks around the world!" Wouldn't this book be a lovely Christmas gift to give?

Interior: All Lined Up
As Christmas is nearing, we transition our homes with wintery and Christmas adornments. Often one of the key places to start with is the mantle, or mantles. Quite a drawing point in the main spaces of the home, the mantle beckons décor through the seasons, and for winter, can be most magical. The two shown here offer such a strong look, with large scale pieces chosen. Indeed, more decorative pieces are combined in balance with simpler ones, with height and repetition playing key elements in achieving the look.
Mantle 01: The miniature pillars may be left in their place, but busts may be replaced for angelic figures, or perhaps small scale, live trees in pots. Alternatively, one could place a multitude of candles, with different heights and scale, in the cloches, or, rolled music/documentation.
Mantle 02: The glass containers seem to be filled with flour perhaps, which also slightly suggests snow, but alternatively, could also be filled with artificial snow and tiny figurines could be added, skiing down the slopes, for a bit of whimsy and fun. Glowing Christmas lights could be added.
I would love to know: which mantle do you prefer, and also, what would you do with it?

Design: Costumes
With so many fascinating plays taking place right now and more very soon, I can hardly wait to purchase tickets for December and to enjoy one or perhaps two live performances. There is something so special about heading to a play or the ballet that a movie theatre simply cannot provide. Perhaps I have an old soul, but even as a child I so enjoyed watching plays, with talented individuals taking part, and a story unfolding before my eyes, especially during the Christmas season...
It is wonderful to have a closer look at some of the pieces used in live performances—the artistry and design that has gone into creating the scene and setting for play or ballet performance is truly magnificent! To find out more about the pieces featured visit The Coveteur. Do you enjoy attend live performances, such as the ballet as well? Are there any, in particular, that you are hoping to attend?

Posted January 16, 2013 by Kay Walten in Enviroment,Riviera Maya Destinations
This month at Locogringo is inspiration month! With December 21 over and the world still around, a New Year just behind us and some exciting things happening in the Riviera Maya, we have found January 2013 to be our month of inspiration! Our inspiration comes from visitors to the area who get off the plane, head to their hotel or villa and run to the beach, only to be swept away by the blue of the Caribbean ocean. We love this reaction, the chats over beers where people continue to be in awe over the beauty of the area. As they get deeper into their Riviera Maya vacation, they learn that the sun and the beach are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the beauty of the area.
The Sun is inspiring and we did some research to find out why. Why is that we all feel better with a bit of sunshine. What is so SUN-inspiring about the beach in the Riviera Maya?
The sun provides a good portion of the much needed vitamin D, a vitamin that helps us to ward off many diseases like diabetes, heart disease and more. Doctors say that it is helpful to have 10 minutes of unprotected sun exposure in the morning three times a week to get the necessary Vitamin D for our bodies. If you are in the sun for longer, protect your skin, stay in the shade and just enjoy a sunny day!
Our serotin levels (happy hormone) increase with sun exposure. Yup, serotin is our happy hormone and production increases when we are exposed to sunlight. Whoo hoo, we can be more happy now….Direct sunlight is not necessary, so palapa shade or the shade of a palm tree will still increase your happy hormone when hanging on the beach.
For us older folks, the sun helps to relieve aches and pains, mainly those related to inflammation due to arthritis. Better movement and less chronic pain is bound to make anyone happier! Maybe snowbirds have it right, stay home for the summer and migrate for the winter as we retire and need more sun for a happier and pain free lifestyle.
The sun boosts are immune system. Our immune system is the engine that keeps us healthy, makes disease stay away and protects us from all the germs out there. A healthy immune system means a healthier you.
When you are hanging on the beach, you meet other people. This meeting and chatting a big part of the inspiration we get from a beach vacation. It is pretty hard to ignore the people sitting beside you on the beach, and most likely they have a great story to share or an experience that could inspire your next vacation move. All beaches in Mexico are public. They are a community and an active community. It is here that you will meet other travelers and vacationers, share stories and experience, gain insight into the area and find out about something new or old that tickles your vacation fancy. Some of our greatest ideas come from chats on the beach, some of our greatest inspirations have come from being on the beach.
Don't you deserve a sun-spirationn vacation where you can relax, meet others, think and chill so your inspiration comes back, and gets you where you want to go? We know you deserve it, you just have to make it happen. When you are ready, we are here with all the information, details and photos to make your 2013 sun-spiration come true.

"and for the past five years we have used Loco Gringo for every reservation, I'm sorry that we did not find them sooner.
I have been searching Loco Gringo for all these years and one thing I have not yet found ........... someone who is not fabulous to work with. Great people, great owners and a great way to run a business."
--K & DB, Outer Banks, NC,
"I would recommend Locogringo to everyone I know. It is such a great service that they provide from researching and booking the perfect place to stay to finding all the needs you could possibly want during your stay. Thanks Locogringo."
"I had contacted you before I left for my first trip to Mexico and all of your recommendations were spot on. I started in Playa Del Carmen and worked my way to Tulum. I had only expected to stay 2 nights there and instead wound up staying for a week-and that still was not nearly enough time. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks! I will be checking in with you guys as I am tring to plan a trip to Holbox next. That place looks amazing!"
--Louis Skip Gonzalez, Unidos Magazine
"When we use LG to book a trip we get immediate help with all of our questions in a very timely way by people who know what they are talking about and are extremely helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and congenial. They really get how to do customer service.
Once we book through LG we never have to worry about any of it again. We are always amazed at how smooth and trouble free our bookings through LG have been."
--K.B., Fort Worth, TX
"We have been Booking our Riviera Maya vacations from Loco Gringo since 2005. Always Great communication, helpful tips and quick responses to our questions. They were especially helpful when Hurricane Wilma hit and put a stop to our Vacation plans. They made sure we knew about the weather situation and did all the work with re-booking our vacation in Paradise!"
"Both in 2011 and this year we have booked our room through Locogringo.com. We searched and found a great rate at the resort we wanted, and then Locogringo met that price, and with their booking came their amazing customer service and the peace of mind that if we need anything while we are there we simply need to call. I always get a fast turnaround on any email I send them, and they work so hard to find us the best rates and the rooms we want. We hope to have a long relationship with them, and recommend their site to everyone we know."
--Tim A and Teri A, Salem, UT
"I will be bragging about your site to any and all who will listen. Our experience was phenomenal!!!"
--M. Palaschak,
"Now is a great time to tell you how wonderful you and your staff are at making it so easy to find and book the best vacations, THANK YOU !"
--Joyce & Hugh,
"You always recommend amazing accommodations and we are always comfortable and feel safe. Your staff does a fantastic job at making our vacation each year a " hassle free " experience ! All we have to do is " show up " and the rest is already taken care of. We will continue in future to use LocoGringo and also continue as we have done already, to highly recommend your company to anyone we know that is planning a vacation."
--Nancy & Bill, Toronto, Canada
"So here is a GREAT BIG TEXAS THANK YOU TO LOCO GRINGO for all the awesome, fantastic vacations in Paradise."
"We usually need reservations for 2 to 4 people but for 2 years we needed reservations for 7 to 9 people, adults and kids and they have always done a flawless job in getting the resort we wanted and at the best price too!!"
"LocoGringo.com books total trip packages and I recommend LG to all my friends and even to strangers I hear talking about going to Mexico!!"
"Loco Gringo has an AWESOME website with great info, it is lots of fun to visit, be sure to join their forums. The forums hold more information and trip reports than you can 'shake a stick at'!"
"People who "live the area" will want to make sure you enjoy your vacation and come back again!"
"...for your patience with me and making this process go soooo much smoother! I truly appreciate you and the staff at LocoGringo. Thanks again! I can't wait to be sitting on the beach!
Maggie in Colorado"
"She & her new Husband had a fantastic hassle free trip. This was their very first time to Mexico and her comment upon return was " Dad, 7 days is NOT enough time ! " Super job, LG."
--Bernie in Denver,
"quick and informative replies from Bart ( thanks Bart) , easy booking procedure plus online management of your booking . I am highly impressed."
--Theressa - Middlesex U.K.,
"It is like having a friend make your reservations for you .... we always feel comfortable knowing LG will be in charge of our arrangements because they know the area first hand, they live there ..... you ask a question and they answer it with good humor and great knowledge of what they speak. I will always recommend Loco Gringo in a heart beat!"
--Nancy, Michigan
"We spent a lot of our time sitting on the second floor porch with our feet propped on the railing just staring at the water. Coming home was hard this year..Staying for two weeks still wasn't long enough."
--Susan, USA
"All our Riviera Maya trips have been booked using LocoGringo. We love their service."
--Debbie, California
"A company made up mostly of American Expats living in the Riviera Maya with a booking list of many hundreds of properties. Big enough to know each property intimately and small enough to know each customer personally. A level of service simply impossible for the giant companies to provide.
--Jim T., Colorado
"It's a great comfort to visit the Riviera Maya and know that Loco Gringo is there to help, if needed. "
--Bryan in IN,
"I have booked most of my Mayan Riviera trips through Loco Gringo and can only say I wouldn't even consider using anyone else to handle my bookings for stays in that area.
Their booking process is simple, fast and friendly, and they will answer your questions and queries until you are completely satisfied that every single detail has been taken care of.
Who else would know the area better than folks who live and work right there? Try to get that level of expertise and knowledge with a booking agent who lives and works several hundred, or even thousands of miles away.
Not only that, but they are genuinely nice people as well, who really care for their customers and the community and area that they call home
Keep up the great work Loco Gringo!!"
--George, Calgary
"Thanks for everything you have done with Locogringo… the site is great and your staff has been nothing short of incredible when it comes to helping us plan our trips. Maybe we'll run into you on one of your walks some day."
"Not sure if we will be returning next summer, but will definitely let you know if we are, as Loco Gringo is the ONLY way to go for us!"
--Lesley P., Texas
"Go to the home page or check the forum."
--Liz, Portland
"And their amazing website is one of the main reasons we started going regularly to the Riviera Maya and especially Akumal. No other place around the Caribbean has nearly as good a web presence as LG has given this area."
--Dan, St. Louis MO,
"I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU! The trip we booked through Loco Gringo was perfect! The price was exceptionally good and the service was second to none! If you've never booked with Loco Gringo before, we *highly* recommend them!"
--Derek S.,
"Loco Gringos is the VERY BEST booking site I have ever worked with. They respond to emails promptly, work hard to honor special requests, answer questions etc. They ALWAYS take great care of their customers and are conscientious and professional at all times. We have booked 8 trips with this company and NEVER hesitate to use them or recommend them when traveling to the Riviera Maya."
""I was soooo delighted with the Loco Gringo services. Everything was trouble free and all my questions were always answered promptly. Thanks for a GREAT trouble free vacation!""
"What an amazing company Locogringo is. Every silly question I have.... they answer , If something comes up like a travel day change, adding more people, or whatever it might be... you get a response from a real person ... who seems to love what they do . That is hard to find these days and I really appreciate that."
--Brenda, Oregon

The federal government should wind back some of Labor's reform legacy of the 1980s and develop an industry policy that picks winners, a leading unionist said yesterday as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warned Australia against subsidising industry.
Australian Workers Union national secretary
"It should be clear that the government has a role to play in securing our economic future," he said.
"But Canberra policymakers seem stuck in the mindset of passive government."
The government should bring back a policy of directing industry assistance to "winners", said the union leader once touted as a future Labor leader.
"We have effectively let the market pick winners for us, and the market has bet everything on a horse called the resources sector," he said.
The government should co-operate with industry to formulate "industry development plans" and have the "courage to pick winners".
Mr Howes's recommendation contrasted with the OECD's position in its six-monthly update, which was released yesterday.
The Paris think tank said governments must help facilitate adjustments that were needed by sectors of the economy hit by the high dollar and in need of higher productivity. But Australia must not impede "those changes by, for example, subsidising certain sectors", it said
A week after the labour movement celebrated the legacy of
"The reality is the Australian dollar is massively overvalued," Mr Howes said.
"The economy changes constantly, the structure changes, and now we are going through another big shift. Sometimes our policy settings will also need to change with them and we shouldn't be gun-shy of having that discussion."
The union leader pointed to Swiss central bankers who had intervened to slow the Swiss franc's rapid ascent owing to its safe-haven status during the European sovereign debt crisis.
Mr Howes also called for greater competition in the banking sector, which he said was dominated by large institutions, and asked the government to impose tighter regulations upon banks.
Lenders should be forced to move interest rates in line with changes by the Reserve Bank of Australia, he said, asking: "Why shouldn't it contain requirements that you in fact have to mirror the movements of the Reserve Bank?"
Banks did not pass on in full the latest 0.50 of a percentage point cut in the official RBA cash rate to lenders, citing increased funding costs.

A sea change in global economic power promises to shrink the mid-tier UK market
They say everything is bigger in America. And for years, they've been right. However, changes in the world economic league table are causing a dramatic sea change in the global market. As economic power slips away from North America and Western Europe, how will law firms adapt to the new world order?
The US, China and Japan currently take podium positions in the global league table by gross domestic product (GDP). They'll still be holding these positions tight come 2022. However, beneath them the world's great nations are playing musical chairs. Germany, France, the UK and Italy are dropping down the table rapidly. The BRIC nations are creeping their way up the top 10, with the likes of Indonesia, Korea and Turkey hot on their heels.
North America and Western Europe together currently hold 69 per cent of the global share of total GDP. By 2017 this will have dropped to 61 per cent, and will continue falling in the following years. Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is seeing its market share increase from 13 per cent to 19 per cent during the same period.
Hong Kong is destined to become the world's biggest market in the next five years, which means fewer deals will come out of London. Law firm consultant Alan Hodgart says there are three ways firms can respond to the changes: "Do nothing, change and compete somewhere else, or say 'let's get better at what we're doing'." The first of these is not an option. He warns: "Those firms who sit and wait and see what happens will see further decline until they go into crisis."
Firms who do opt to expand must do so with caution, rather than take a "follow the leader" approach, as Hodgart argues has occurred in the Middle East. "You don't need a lot of lawyers in the Middle East," he says. "It's a very small market. You need a small team who can build relationships with sovereign firms and be on hand to be contacted at any time. Firms are going there to do local work and finding there's not a lot to do." The same goes for litigation hub Singapore. "A lot of firms with no strengths in those areas are going in. What are they doing there?"
Firms may have more luck getting off the beaten track. Latin America, for example, is a largely untapped market which will increase its market share from 13 per cent to 15 per cent by 2017. "As people wake up to its size and growth, we will see more international firms going into Latin America. If you're a firm with a focus on mining, Chile and Peru are very interesting."
In fact, the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets combined will total $383bn ($248bn) by 2015 – or over a third (34 per cent) of the global marketplace. There will be an enormous amount of demand flowing out of both regions, ripe for the picking by global law firms. Hodgart says: "A strong presence in these markets will be an essential requirement for firms seeking to compete as a higher value business law firm."
US firms are also competing for their slice of the global pie. The 40th largest US firm currently has a revenue figure higher than the 12th largest UK firm, and increasing competition at home is leading these giants to seek out work overseas, primarily in Western Europe and Asia. Bracewell & Giuliani and Locke Lord are among the most recent US firms to cross the pond and embrace the City.
UK firms, and mid-size firms in particular, will find the market increasingly squeezed. Hodgart concludes: "It will be a much more segmented market, with a smaller number of firms playing a high value game."

ncRNAs are the most recently identified class of regulatory RNAs with vital functions in gene expression regulation and cell development. Among the variety of roles they play, their involvement in human diseases has opened new avenues of research towards the discovery and development of novel therapeutic approaches. Important data come from the field of hereditary muscle dystrophies, like Duchenne muscle dystrophy and Myotonic dystrophies, rare diseases affecting 1 in 7000–15,000 newborns and is characterized by severe to mild muscle weakness associated with cardiac involvement. Novel therapeutic approaches are now ongoing for these diseases, also based on splicing modulation. In this review we provide an overview about ncRNAs and their behavior in muscular dystrophy and explore their links with diagnosis, prognosis and treatments, highlighting the role of regulatory RNAs in these pathologies.
Transcription of the eukaryotic genome yields only 1%–2% of protein coding transcripts and the remainder is classified as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). In other words, non-coding RNAs are the main output of the global transcription process, highlighting the idea that such an intense cellular effort cannot be just simple noise. Rather, it is reasonable to speculate that this underscored transcriptome possesses specific vital functions [
In general, non-coding RNAs are divided into structural and regulatory RNAs. The first ones include ribosomal, transfer, small nuclear and small nucleolar RNAs (rRNAs, tRNAs, snRNAs and snoRNAs respectively), which have been deeply characterized at the functional level. The second ones are a very broad class of RNAs whose main categorization essentially relies on their length.
Small ncRNAs are defined as transcripts shorter than 200 nucleotides. The most functionally characterized are microRNAs (miRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which are critical for the assembly and the activity of the RNA interference machinery.
RNAs longer than 200 nucleotides are named long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and are a very heterogeneous group of molecules. Because there is not an official way to classify them, they can be placed in one or more categories depending on their genome localization and/or on their orientation (sense, antisense, bidirectional, intronic or intergenic lncRNAs) [
In the past years, several reports have increased our knowledge about additional levels of regulation of many physiological processes that are mediated by ncRNAs. Even more interesting, these flexible molecules have been found to be dysregulated in many pathological human disorders.
In this review, we will focus on RNAs involved in human skeletal muscle dystrophies. There is a continuous flow of new scientific reports that underpin functional links between ncRNAs and skeletal muscle biology, suggesting that these molecules can play a crucial function both in physiological muscle development and in pathological muscle disorders.
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are strictly inherited conditions recognized as a common pathogenic mechanism of disruption/impairment of the muscle cell membrane (sarcolemma) which causes a cascade of pathogenic events, including: inflammation, cell necrosis and cell death with progressive fibrosis replacing the muscle mass. MDs represent diseases of extraordinary interest both in medical genetics and biology. The high translational value of research about MDs has recently driven scientific findings toward precise genetic diagnoses as well as novel therapies [
There are more than 30 different types of inherited dystrophies that are characterized by muscle wasting and weakness of variable distribution and severity, manifesting at any age from birth to middle years, resulting in mild to severe disability and even short life expectancy in the worse cases. Clinical and pathological features are generally the parameters to classify the most common type of MDs. The broad spectrum of MDs arises from many different genetic mutations that reflect defects not only in structural proteins, but also in signaling molecules and enzymes. Dystrophin was the first mutant structural protein shown to cause MD. Mutations in the dystrophin gene lead to two more common type of dystrophy: the severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD OMIM 300677) due to out-of-frame mutations, and the milder Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD OMIM 300376) associated with in-frame mutations. Some "exceptions to the reading frame rule" are associated with intermediate phenotypes. The genetic causes of the highly heterogeneous Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMDs) reside in many genes (such as α, β, γ, δ, and ɛ sarcoglycans) encoding for structural proteins that are part of the complex sarcolemma network and deeply involved, together with dystrophin, in force transduction [
There are other muscular dystrophies, such as the Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD OMIM 158900) and Myotonic dystrophies (DM1 and DM2, see below), that are due to mutations in genes with a main regulatory function. FSHD is due to deletions in non-coding RNA which cause modification of the chromatin assembly in the 4q34 chromosomal region; Myotonic dystrophies (DMs) are related to trinucleotide (DM1) and tetranucleotide (DM2) repeat expansions that produce toxic mutant mRNA with subsequent interference of RNA-splicing mechanisms [
Many lines of evidence reveal that aberrant expression levels of non-coding RNAs can result in novel types of defects that cause remarkable changes in processes such as mRNA maturation, translation, signaling pathways or gene regulation. To date, it is clear that there is involvement of several miRNAs in the muscular dystrophies, on the contrary, very little is known about the role of long ncRNAs [
In this review we try to recapitulate the emerging studies about this intriguing category of molecules, summarizing what is known in muscle, both in physiological and in pathological contexts; new insights are revealing that they are important players in processes such as cellular lineage commitment, growth and differentiation of skeletal muscle. Since muscle differentiation and regeneration are key features that require to be considered when designing novel therapies, addressing the role of ncRNAs in MDs is of high clinical relevance.
microRNAs control the stability and/or the translational efficiency of target messenger RNAs, thus causing post-transcriptional gene silencing. Mammalian miRNAs are transcribed as long primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) and encode one or more miRNAs. Pri-miRNAs are processed by RNase III Drosha in the nucleus to generate stem-loop structures of ~70 nucleotides (pre-miRNAs) and then exported to the cytoplasm where they are further processed by RNase Dicer to yield ~22 bp mature miRNAs. A mature miRNA, incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), anneals to the 3′ UTRs of its target mRNAs by its complementary strand, thus causing post-transcriptional gene silencing via translational repression or mRNA degradation. In the last years new paradigms of miRNA biogenesis are also emerging in which the processing of miRNA does not require all steps mentioned above [
Vertebrate skeletal muscle is derived from the somites, the first metameric structures in mammalian embryos, that progressively subdivide into embryonic compartments, thus giving rise to dermomyotome and subsequently to myotome to produce differentiated muscular tissue. The process of generating muscle—myogenesis—is highly complex and requires a broad spectrum of signaling molecules, either during embryonic development and in postnatal life, that converges on specific transcription and chromatin-remodeling factors, as well as on regulatory RNAs, to activate gene and microRNA expression program [
The fate of myogenic precursor cells is first determined by paired-homeodomain transcription factors, Pax3/Pax7, followed by regulation of highly conserved MyoD (also named MyoD1, myogenic differentiation 1), Myf5 (myogenic factor 5), MyoG (myogenin), and MRF4 factors, expressed in the skeletal muscle lineage and therefore referred as myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs). The MRFs differ in the timing and the stages of myogenesis, reflecting their different roles during muscle cell commitment and differentiation. MyoD and Myf5 are both considered markers of terminal commitment to muscle fate. Myf5 is the first MRF expressed during the formation of the myotome, followed by expression of MyoD. Specifically, in the majority of muscle progenitors, MyoD functions downstream from Pax3 and Pax7 in the genetic hierarchy of myogenic regulators, whereas Myf5, depending on the context, can also act in parallel with the Pax transcription factors [
Dicer loss-of function studies clarified the importance of miRNAs in normal skeletal muscle development [
miR-1, miR-133a/b and miR-206 are largely studied and defined muscle-specific miRNAs (myomiRs). They are regulated in muscular transcriptional networks via MRFs and via others key-regulators of the myogenic program, MEF2 (myocyte enhancer factor 2) and SRFs (serum response factors). Recently, a new regulatory pathway, the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling was seen to regulate miR-1 expression and was also found responsible for MyoD stability [
miR-208b/miR-499, also named myomiRs because of their muscle-restricted expression, are produced from the introns of two myosin genes,
Interestingly, many miRNAs are defined as "non-muscle specific" (or also ubiquitously expressed), because essentially they are not exclusively expressed in muscular tissue. It has been, however, demonstrated that they play key-roles in modulating important pathways involved in the regulation of muscular metabolism and cellular commitment. Many miRNAs fall into this category and we report here a few relevant examples, providing for each miRNA the context in which they were studied and highlighting their global effects on muscular metabolism (
Some of these miRNAs counteract the differentiation process since their activity is aimed to positively regulate the proliferation phase during muscular development.
miR-125b, one of the few down-regulated miRNAs during myogenesis, together with miR-221/222, negatively contributes to myoblast differentiation and muscle regeneration, taking part in the regulatory axis that includes mTOR and IGF-II [
In contrast to this set of miRNAs, many other "non-muscle specific" miRNAs exert an active role in muscle differentiation through different mechanisms: miR-24, for example, has been shown to be essential for the modulation of transforming growth factor β/bone morphogenetic protein (TGF-β/BMP) pathway, a well-known inhibitor of differentiation, although its specific muscular targets are yet unknown [
Muscle is a dynamic tissue that goes through many recurrent phases of degeneration and regeneration throughout an individual's lifetime. During normal muscle development, specific molecular circuitries and signaling pathways control several events in different cell types such as activation of satellite cell proliferation, progenitor cell maintenance, myoblast differentiation, muscle cell homeostasis and immune cell recruitment. It is therefore not surprising that their deregulation heavily contributes to the degeneration of dystrophic muscles and is the object of intense research [
Greco and coworkers have divided a DMD-signature of miRNAs into three main classes relative to their functional link to specific muscular pathway. Regeneration-miRNAs were up-regulated (miR-31, miR-34c, miR-206, miR-335, miR-449, and miR-494), while degenerative-miRNAs (miR-1, miR-29c, and miR-135a) were down-regulated in
Muscle specific myomiR miR-1 and miR-133 and the ubiquitous miR-29c and miR-30c are down-regulated in
miR-31-repressing activity seems to regulate muscle terminal differentiation directly targeting the 3′-UTR of dystrophin. Also miR-31, as miR-206, has a preferential localization in regenerating myoblasts, and is highly expressed in Duchenne muscles, probably due to an intensified activation of satellite cells. In both human and murine wild-type conditions its expression is detected in early phases of myoblast differentiation, supporting the idea that it contributes to avoid early expression of late differentiation markers. For this reason it is linked to a delay in the maturation program occurring in the pathological context [
Dystrophin is a structural protein that links the cytoskeleton to a large membrane-associated multiprotein complex (dystrophin-associated protein complex, DAPC) to stabilize the sarcolemma. Via Syntrophins (SNTA1, SNTB1, SNTB2, SNTG2), members of DAPC, the enzyme neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase (nNOS) is localized to the membrane of muscle fibers and regulates intramuscular generation of nitric oxide (NO) [
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the most common adult onset, progressive muscular dystrophy. DM is a multi-systemic disease and it is characterized by a generalized muscle weakness and wasting, associated with peripheral neuropathy, heart rhythm defects, and cataracts. The myotonia phenomenon is due to the peculiar muscle membrane depolarization activities. Two type of DM exist, type-1 (DM1, OMIM 160900) and type-2 (DM2, OMIM 602668). DM1 is caused by an expansion of the CTG triplet repeats in the 3′-untraslated region (UTR) of the Dystrophic Myotonic Protein Kinase (
Increasing lines of evidence support the biological relevance of lncRNAs. They are regulated during development and involved in almost all levels of gene expression and cellular functions including chromosomal dosage compensation, chromatin modification, cell cycle regulation, control of imprinting, alternative splicing, intracellular trafficking, cellular differentiation, and reprogramming of stem cells [
Key features of dystrophic muscle include central nuclei, small regenerating fibers and accumulation of connective tissue and fatty tissue. Muscle differentiation
Metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (Malat1) is a highly conserved 8.7 kb non-coding transcript that is abundantly expressed in cancer cells and a strong predictor of metastasis [
Many lncRNA have been discovered but not yet fully characterized, as for example Men ɛ/β lncRNAs. To date it is known that two long non-coding isoforms (Men ɛ/β lncRNAs) which are expressed in several human tissues, including muscle, arise from the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia I locus (
Between the many functions ascribed to lncRNA there are examples of lncRNAs modulating the activity of transcriptional activators or co-activators, directly or through the regulation of their sub-cellular localization [
Non-coding repressor of NFAT (NRON) is another case of lncRNA that shows a regulatory activity on a transcription factor. NRON is not highly expressed but it has a distinct tissue specific expression. It has been found enriched in placenta, muscle, and lymphoid tissues. NFAT is a transcription factor responsive to local changes in calcium signals. It is essential for the T cell receptor–mediated immune response and plays a critical role in the development of heart and vasculature, musculature, and nervous tissue. The first study about the role of NRON showed that it regulates NFAT's subcellular localization rather than its transcriptional activity. Sharma and coworkers confirmed these data demonstrating that NRON takes part in a large cytoplasmic RNA-protein complex that acts as a scaffold for NFAT to modulate its nuclear trafficking and thus its response activity [
Little is yet known about the dystrophin gene regulation.
Using a custom-made tiling array the entire
In severe DMD one third of patients display also mental retardation, but the pathogenesis is unknown. In a singular case of DMD complicated by mental retardation, an intra-chromosomal inversion (inv(X)p21.2;q28) has been identified. The genetic rearrangement has been molecularly characterized to find a possible disrupted gene because of the inversion, and that might be responsible for the neurological symptoms associated with dystrophy. A novel gene named
Polycomb (PcG) and Trithorax (TrxG) group proteins antagonistically act in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Typically, TrxG counteracts PcG-mediated epigenetic gene silencing. Among the many lncRNAs interacting with chromatin remodeling enzymes the most famous are Xist and HOTAIR, both acting as a negative regulators of gene expression by recruitment of PRC2 (Polycomb Repressive Complex 2) on PcG target genes [
It is surprising how ncRNAs are tightly interconnected with the main fundamental aspects of muscular tissue: development, differentiation and regeneration. At the molecular level miRNAs and lncRNAs take part in almost all levels of regulation in these key processes. Chromatin modifying enzymes, positive and negative transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, and enzymatic and structural proteins involved in signaling circuitries are under their fine-modulation. Moreover, ncRNAs are often found to be under the regulation of their own targets, thus determining feedback loops that drive developmental switches ensuring a perfect synergy between stimuli and responses. Both time- and tissue-specific gene regulation are the fulcrum on which the fine-tuning of a healthy organism is based. Disrupting the physiological pattern of expression not only in codifying genes, but also in regulatory RNAs, can heavily modify specific cell processes.
If this is true in physiological conditions, increased lines of evidence show that regulatory RNAs play a crucial role also in the etiology of many human diseases. Among these, muscular dystrophies represent a field of intense research, also because of the recent creation of novel experimental treatments. This has encouraged studies on expression regulation in diseases muscle cells, both
Conversely, miRNAs can vary in their expression level following drug treatments [
More complex is our current understanding of the role of lncRNAs in muscle biology and pathology. We have just started to explore the peripheral areas of this "
Given that just a few lncRNAs have been tackled on functional levels and that the annotated ones are in the order of thousands with many more expected to be discovered, it is plausible to speculate that their involvement in novel functions and roles will be rapidly identified with repercussions on many fields of cell biology and pathology and with the possibility to potentially employ them as biological markers as well as drugs to treat major diseases such as muscular dystrophies.
Although in the majority of cases the etiology of muscular dystrophies is not ascribed to functional non-coding RNA molecules (with the exception of FSHD), they appear as powerful regulators of several key-pathways and show how actively they can contribute to the progression of disease. This reflects the strong ability of miRNAs and lncRNAs in the modulation of the phenotype of dystrophic affected individuals via fine regulatory pathways that can lead to increased transcript stability, mRNA splicing control, enhanced protein production, posttranslational protein modification and other mechanisms. These versatile roles support the idea to use regulatory RNAs as novel targeted molecules acting as enhancers or inhibitors in well-established therapeutic strategies (based both on drugs and gene therapies). After all, the general goal is to ameliorate the final output of the specific treatments.
Overview of muscle-specific and ubiquitously expressed miRNAs that contribute to myogenesis and muscle regeneration processes and their regulatory activity on the muscular specific targets/chromatin modifying enzymes/cell cycle regulators (for details see the text). The main regulatory factors that exert a fundamental role during each step of normal muscle development are also reported as well as their eventual regulatory activity on the described miRNAs.

The raccoon is a stocky medium sized mammal with a broad head, pointed snout and bushy tail. A raccoon is easily recognized by its black mask on a whitish face and the four to seven dark rings on its tail. Its gray to black pelage (fur) consists of long, moderately coarse, white and black banded guard hairs and short, fine, gray or brownish underfur. The belly is lighter colored. Their finger-like toes are long, thin and flexible giving the raccoon amazing dexterity.
Adult raccoons weigh from 10 to 30 pounds. Total body length, including the tail, of an adult raccoon measures from 26 to 40 inches. Adult females are usually smaller than adult males.
Young raccoons less than four months old can be aged by measuring the length of the ear and a hindfoot. Adult raccoons can be aged using dental characteristics to include counting annual growth rings in the roots of canine teeth and distinguishing the degree of tooth wear. Total body weight is a convenient indicator of age but is less reliable.
Most raccoons in North Dakota mate in early February and March. About 60 percent of the female raccoons breed and produce litters when they are one year old while males typically do not breed until their second year.
Raccoons do not form pair bonds. A male raccoon will typically associate and mate with several females each spring. The gestation period for raccoons is about 63 days with a litter averaging four to six young being born during April or May in a den prepared by the female.
Raccoons seem to prefer hollow trees and logs as dens hut often use abandoned ground burrows of other animals for raising their young as well as for sleeping during the coldest part of the winter months. The female will occupy the den where her litter will be born during the last few days before giving birth.
Raccoons are born with their eyes closed and are covered with hair, although the mask and tail rings are represented only by sparsely haired skin. The mask and tail rings become fully haired in two weeks.
When about two months old, the young begin accompanying the mother as she hunts for food. Young raccoons often remain with their mother throughout the year. Young males disperse from the area of their birth den at about one year old and may move several miles before establishing an area of their own.
The size of this area (home range) in raccoons may vary according to differences in sex, age, population levels habitat quality and season. In North Dakota, individual raccoons will occupy home range from less than one up to 18 square miles. Adult males usually occupy the largest areas and there is usually much overlap in the home ranges of adult males and females.
There is much variation in raccoons' daily activity patterns both by individuals and by season. Raccoons arc typically active from about sunset to sunrise. Although raccoons are not considered to hibernate, families do congregate in winter dens to sleep through severe winter periods. They prepare for this period of winter sleep by storing fat on their bodies during the late summer and fall.
Raccoons have a variety of calls. Their calls include hissing, barks and snorts which are uttered to express fear or as threat. In addition to these calls, raccoons may growl snarl and squeal.
Although some raccoons have lived up to 16 years in the wild, research indicates that the average life span is about three to four years. The principal causes of mortality in raccoons are man, predators, malnutrition and subsequently diseases such as canine distemper and rabies. The list of reported raccoon predators in North Dakota includes bobcats, coyotes, foxes and great horned owls.
The raccoon prefers wooded or brushy areas along lakes and streams but also thrives in farming areas where there are numerous wetlands. Raccoons prefer buildings and hollow trees for their dens hut will also use rock crevices, ground burrows, junk and rock piles as den sites.
The raccoon is an omnivore and thus eats a wide variety of foods. Preferred foods in North Dakota include grains insects, small mammals, eggs and young waterfowl, upland game and domestic poultry, crayfish and berries. The raccoon is widely known for its habit of "washing" food in water. In fact, its species name "lotor" means washer. Actually, raccoons do not always dunk their food, even when near water, and will not hesitate to eat when water is not nearby. Many theories have been proposed to explain this strange habit, but so far, raccoons are the only ones that are sure why they "wash" their food.
The raccoon is found throughout North Dakota but is most abundant in the eastern half of the state. The raccoon has benefited from agricultural development and is more numerous and widely distributed now than in the 1800s. Raccoons are considered a furbearer in North Dakota and as such are hunted and trapped for recreation and their pelts.
Occasionally raccoons are accused of causing agricultural damage. Most of this damage is restricted to gardens, orchards, cornfields, melon patches and chicken yards. In addition, raccoons are sometimes regarded as serious threats to wood duck nesting. The use of electric fences to prevent this excellent climber from gaining access will eliminate most problems.

Messier 7, also known as NGC 6475, is a brilliant cluster of about 100 stars located some 800 light-years from Earth. In this new picture from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope it stands out against a very rich background of hundreds of thousands of fainter stars, in the direction of the centre of the Milky Way.
At about 200 million years old, Messier 7 is a typical middle-aged open cluster, spanning a region of space about 25 light-years across. As they age, the brightest stars in the picture - a population of up to a tenth of the total stars in the cluster - will violently explode as supernovae. Looking further into the future, the remaining faint stars, which are much more numerous, will slowly drift apart until they become no longer recognisable as a cluster.
Open star clusters like Messier 7 are groups of stars born at almost the same time and place, from large cosmic clouds of gas and dust in their host galaxy. These groups of stars are of great interest to scientists, because the stars in them have about the same age and chemical composition. This makes them invaluable for studying stellar structure and evolution.
An interesting feature in this image is that, although densely populated with stars, the background is not uniform and is noticeably streaked with dust. This is most likely to be just a chance alignment of the cluster and the dust clouds.
Although it is tempting to speculate that these dark shreds are the remnants of the cloud from which the cluster formed, the Milky Way will have made nearly one full rotation during the life of this star cluster, with a lot of reorganisation of the stars and dust as a result. So the dust and gas from which Messier 7 formed, and the star cluster itself, will have gone their separate ways long ago.
The first to mention this star cluster was the mathematician and astronomer Claudius Ptolemy, as early as 130 AD, who described it as a "nebula following the sting of Scorpius", an accurate description given that, to the naked eye, it appears as a diffuse luminous patch against the bright background of the Milky Way.
In his honour, Messier 7 is sometimes called Ptolemy's Cluster. In 1764 Charles Messier included it as the seventh entry in his Messier catalogue. Later, in the 19th century, John Herschel described the appearance of this object as seen through a telescope as a "coarsely scattered cluster of stars" - which sums it up perfectly.

About 56% of Facebook users who are aware of changes to the social network dislike them, according to a new poll.
A telephone survey of 2,000 people conducted by USA Today and Gallup found that 26% of people who use the site daily are "very concerned" about privacy vs. 35% who use it once a week. Those figures are significant in light of Facebook's new Timeline feature, which gives users the opportunity to share their histories on the site and gives Facebook more targeted information for advertisers. Facebook's schedule to roll out Timeline is unclear.

office. Then, together with the private secretary, they go through the day's programme - receiving a new ambassador, visits to hospitals, inaugurations. Since acceding to the throne in 1952, Queen Elizabeth has conferred over 387,700 honours and awards. There have been 139 official portraits of her majesty during her lifetime, so it is not uncommon for the queen to sweep through the palace corridors at 10.30 am dressed in full regalia ready for a sitting.
Occasionally, Her Majesty invites a handful of famous faces, artists or business executives to lunch. Sometimes, other royals are invited to join her at the palace. However, she is more likely to eat a light lunch alone. It's a usual occasion, when the children pop their heads around the corner saying, 'Mum, can I join you?' If she is alone, the queen will send her page with a message to invite them. Her daughter Princess Anne curtseys and kisses her, while her sons Princes Charles, Andrew and Edward, bow, kiss her hand and kiss her on the cheek.
Every afternoon at 2.30 pm, the queen goes for a walk in the palace grounds. The rule is that if anybody is in the garden, apart from the gardeners, they must leave. Nobody is allowed to talk to her unless she speaks first. She likes to be left on her own because it's her thinking time.
The rest of the afternoon is devoted to the Queen's social duties. She is patron of more than 620 organisations and charities and 1,1 million people have been to her famous summer garden parties. On some evenings, she may attend a film premire, a variety of concert performances for a charitable cause. Such visits require premiere thorough planning beforehand. The Queen prepares for each visit by briefing herself on whom she will be meeting and what she will be seeing and doing. Royal engagements are carefully selected by the Queen from a large number of invitations sent to her each year. This helps to make effective use of the Queen's time. If the engagement is outside London, her journeys are often by air using a helicopter or an RAF (Royal Air Force) aircraft. The Queen carries out around 430 engagements a year, meeting people, opening events and buildings, and making speeches. Such engagements can include visits to schools, hospitals, factories,

text: ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LMI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq:LMIA), a leading supplier of structural assemblies, kits and components and provider of design engineering services to the aerospace and defense industries, announced it has successfully completed the syndication of $350 million senior secured credit facilities to amend the senior secured credit facilities LMI initially entered into on December 28, 2012. RBC Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book-Runners, led the closing of the senior credit facilities. RBC Capital Markets acted as Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. was Syndication Agent. The senior secured credit facilities consist of a five-year $125 million revolving credit facility and a six-year $225 million term loan facility. As a result of strong investor demand, the new revolving credit facility was increased to $125 million from the initially announced figure of $75 million. In addition, the pricing on the $225 million six-year term loan facility has been reduced to a margin, as syndicated, of LIBOR plus 350 basis points in comparison to the initially announced margin at closing of LIBOR plus 475 basis points. The amended term loan facility, as syndicated, includes a 1.25 percent LIBOR floor consistent with the initially announced term loan facility. The syndicated facilities refinance borrowings incurred in connection with the December 28, 2012, closing of LMI's $240 million purchase of Valent Aerostructures, LLC. "We are very pleased with the results of the financing we completed today. The larger revolving credit facility should improve our liquidity and should provide increased operational flexibility," said Ronald S. Saks, Chief Executive Officer of LMI. "As a result of the impact of the lower cost of debt, the acquisition of Valent is now expected to be accretive to LMI's 2013 earnings, rather than slightly dilutive, as was originally announced in the December 6, 2012, press release. Additionally, we anticipate the accretive impact will extend to LMI's 2014 earnings. We intend to provide more detail on guidance during our year-end conference call and press release."

Reviews for this host's other properties
Appartamento essenziale, carino e molto centrale. Grazie.
très bon emplacement. Appartement fonctionnel à proximité du centre ville excellent accueil. Nous le recommandons chaleureusement
A parte la posizione centrale l'appartamento é troppo piccolo. La tv non funzionava e c'erano tre lampadine bruciate. L'appartamento è di un solo locale (quello della foto) di circa 12 metriquadri; dalla scala si accede ad un piccolo soppalco di circa 9 metriquadri (altezza circa m. 1.35!) in cui c'è il letto.
Nice studio near the beach and Promenade. Salvatore and his friend were friendly. Everything was the same like in add.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Accueil tres sympathique, logement parfait, pour moi qui connait bien Nice, serais volontiers restée plus longtemps.
Merci et à une autre fois.
Nice is nice
Superbe accueil , cependant c'est bcp trop bruyant mais bonne situation géographique . Équipement cuisine super
Mycket fin och ren studio med lugnt läge, dock mindre till ytan en vad beskrivningen angav
Je ne porterai pas de jugement sur le propriétaire. La remise des clefs a durer 30 secondes sur le trottoir.
Appartement très bien situé, 150 mais de la mer,
Doté d'un parking.
Par contre l'annonce précise 30 m2. Enous réalité
Il en fait 20.le propriétaire n'à pas répondu sur ce sujet.
Le mail de wimdu affirme que l'annonce est conforme à la réalité.
Vi trivdes bra i lägenheten som hade ett bra läge. Terassen var härlig. Vi blev dock förvirrade av in- och utcheckningstiderna. Vi var tvugna att checka ut från rummet tidigt på morgonen men vårt flyg gick inte förrän sent på kvällen vilket blev ett problem för oss.

During a skit with Elmo, Nyong'o talked about all of the great things about her skin.
We talked a lot about the criminal justice system and prison industrial complex, especially as it pertains to black youth. The astronomical number of people who have been incarcerated and the effects their imprisonment has on those individuals, their families, and the communities they leave and sometimes return to is part of that discussion. Yet we often ignore the way that children are impacted by this. Sesame Street has made headlines recently for including incarceration as part of their "Little Children, Big Problems" series:
The long-running PBS children's education show launched the 'Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration' educational program earlier this week.
Organizers say the campaign is aimed at helping kids aged three to eight in the U.S., which has the highest incarceration rate in the world.
A toolkit of resources has been uploaded onto the Sesame Street website including videos, printable brochures, eBooks and apps.
'The incarceration of a loved one can be very overwhelming for both children and caregivers,' reads a message on the website. 'Here are some tools to help you with the changes your child is going through.'

Despite Mitt Romney's defeat, there is still trouble on Sesame Street.
The man who voices Elmo, the children's program's most popular character, has been accused of having a sexual relationship with an underage male:
I tell you, many television and movie companies including Tyler Perry can take a chapter from Sesame Street when it comes to creating positive images of black women and girls. So, last year, Sesame Street's video, I Love My Hair, went viral with parents excited to see positive messaging about black girls' hair. However, this year, Sesame Street has gone further with not only positive imaging of black girls, but that black girls can be and do all things and, ultimately, change the world. Please share the video with others.

Welcome to a New and Unimaginable World
Welcome to a new and unimaginable world, taking shape before our very eyes. What world am I talking about?
I'm talking about the New Age expected to begin after a planetary transformation before or around Dec. 21, 2012.
Predictions of what the 2012 community calls "Ascension" are reaching us from the Earth's own spiritual hierarchy, the star nations here to help us, Earth's scientists, and planetary intuitives.
At an early but unknown date, we can expect a world leader (probably President Obama) to disclose the fact that human beings from other star systems are here, in spacecraft around our planet – some cloaked, some in other dimensions – and that evolved life exists in many places in the universe.
We're soon to be joined by family. Read more…

This will be the last article I post on this site. After this we transition to the new site.
On 10-10-10, we had what appears to be have been a mass decloaking over Moscow. (1)
On 10-10-13 we had what was confirmed as a mass decloaking over New York City, with single UFOs showing up at various places around the world on the same day and after. (2)
Sightings in China have been ramping up. There have even been reports of gigantic spacecraft around the Sun. (3) But you can see that the galactics are doing things gradually so as not to frighten people so the ships that are showing up around populated areas are so far mostly scout ships and even they have kept their distance. (4)
But the sighting in East El Paso yesterday was a light show, still using scoutcraft at a distance. (5)
There are a number of negative sources speaking out around the Net. I don't want to name names but one is a radio talk show host, another a reputedly-enlightened man, and two negative or harsh-sounding channels.
In regards to what they are saying, let me remind readers please of several matters that are covered in articles on this site. First, the light energies are constantly rising around the planet and they have reached the levels where no one who serves the dark can approach the planet. (6) Read more…
Hatonn Confirms Mass Decloaking in NYC on Oct. 13, 2010
I have confirmation from Commander Hatonn that a mass decloaking took place in New York City on Oct. 13, 2010.
Cdr. Hatonn is director of multidimensional communications for the assembled space fleet that will be assisting us with restoring the planet, bringing in the abundance program, and preparing for Ascension.
Yesterday I wrote Suzy Ward, who channels her highly-evolved son, Matthew Ward, as well as Hatonn, Ashtar, and others.
I asked Suzy to ask Matthew whether the objects seen in New York were balloons or not. I'm afraid I didn't phrase my question very well so Suzy responded that neither Matthew nor Hatonn could confirm or deny whether the objects sighted were balloons.
What I didn't ask was were they then spaceships? (Silly me.)
Suzy also responded:
"They said that ships around the world are decloaking at various times and this will continue happening with increasing frequency, all part of the ramped-up activity that will result in official recognition." (1)
Today I wrote Suzy back, tail between my legs, and asked her to ask Matthew and Hatonn again if they were spaceships. Hatonn responded:
"Steve, this is Hatonn. You are being very conscientious about presenting accurate information — thank you. We need more sane voices like yours to offset the pure hogwash that's circulating. Yes, of course there were ships over New York City that day. We're showing up there and many other places all around Earth. As Suzy wrote you before, this is part of ramping up our activity to hasten the time when we're officially recognized." (2)
Oh My Gosh, Did It Happen Again?
Did the ETs put on a display in East El Paso last night?
Channel 9 thinks they did and compares the display to part of the NYC decloaking.
Barbara has found this additional video and warns us that there is foul language even if the images are good:
It wasn't a mass decloaking, but a light show. Keep in mind that UFOs up till now have not announced their presence in this way very often. They don't typically emit light like a comet. So are they making their presence deliberately known? Perhaps … attracting attention to themselves?
Are they ramping up to disclosure?
Stay tuned!
Thanks to DZ!
Stanley Fulham Confirms NYC Decloaking on Coast2Coast AM
Stanley Fulham appeared on Coast2Coast AM last night and said that it was decided to keep the mass decloaking to New York City alone so as not to panic the population. Decloakings did happen over other cities, but not in large numbers as over NYC.
UFO Prediction
Coast2Coast Daily Email
In the first hour, ex-NORAD officer Stan Fulham talked about his prediction that a fleet of UFOs would hover over the Earth's major cities on October 13th. Fulham explained that he receives his insight from a "transcended spiritual group," which consists of "very old souls who have lived on many different planets and spiritual realms."
According to him, the UFO visitation is because the Earth's environment has been polluted beyond the point of human salvation and, thus, the ETs must intervene to fix the situation. Unlike other planets, where the inhabitants were allowed to pollute their environment to the point of mass extinction, the Earth has the "greatest emotionally energy of any planet" in the universe and, therefore, was granted this special aid from off-world forces.
Fulham clarified his prediction's timetable with new information that he allegedly received three weeks ago. Originally, the entities planned to appear over a plethora of major Earth cities on October 13th, 2010. They had no intention of landing or communicating with the planet, instead opting merely to make their presence known in gradually increasing appearances. This would culminate with an outright address at the United Nations in 2014 and then they would commence cleaning the environment in 2015.
However, Fulham said, the ETs grew wary of causing mass panic with their original 10/13/10 plan and decided to just appear over New York City on that date. The reasons given for the choice of NYC was that it is an international city, a media stronghold, and that New Yorkers are "a blase people" who would be nonplussed by the appearance of a UFO in the sky.
