DPP044: Are PDF eBooks Worthless? Plus Selling Wikipedia Content and More
Hi everyone, I'm Tristan Higbee and this podcast is all about the things I see and would like to see in the world of digital publishing, including blogging, ebook and video creation, podcasting, and other things relating to internet business and online marketing. You can find a full transcript of each episode of this show at DigitalPublishingPodcast.com.
I'm recording today in my hotel room in Kathmandu, Nepal, and this is not a quiet city, so I apologize if you hear bells, horns, construction, or voices in the background. Also, I'm holding the microphone in my hand because this hotel room doesn't have a desk or table, so I also apologize if the volume varies slightly. This will actually be the last episode for a while, like 3 weeks or even a month. I'll be trekking in the mountains here in Nepal and won't have my computer or podcasting equipment with me. I will attempt to document my trekking adventure in blog form at everest.postach.io. The plan is to trek in the Everest region and possibly go to Everest Base Camp, weather and conditions permitting. I've already posted a couple updates there about Kathmandu, and you can check them out at everest.postach.io.
I'd really appreciate it if you rated this show in iTunes. Just go to itunes.digitalpublishingpodcast.com and then click the blue "View in iTunes" button in the sidebar to rate and review the podcast in iTunes.
Ok, I've got 4 topics to talk about today, so let's get started.
1. What are PDF ebooks still good for?
I'm not a fan of PDF ebooks. I used to be. I still have a couple thousand of them sitting in a distant corner of my Dropbox account. The main reason I don't like PDF ebooks is that they usually suck from a reader's standpoint. When the person creating the ebook formatted the thing, they probably did it with a particular device in mind. So the ebook might look great and be very readable on a laptop, but it's likely less than optimal on an iPad or Nexus 7 or smartphone.
On top of that, because you can create a PDF document as easily as a Word document, it's really easy for people with no design experience to format a PDF ebook poorly with bad colors or unreadable fonts. I've probably seen more ugly PDF ebooks than good ones. Of course there are designers who can make great-looking PDFs, but the average person is not a designer. The situation reminds me of that famous Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car and it turns out to be this hideous monstrosity. He likes it, but no one else does. A lot of times, that's what PDF ebooks look like when people who aren't designers try to create them.
The PDF format itself was created to allow a document to be read on any device, but with more modern ebook-specific formats like MOBI and EPUB that provide much better reading experiences across devices, the question we need to answer is whether there is any place still in the world for a PDF ebook. Are there any circumstances in which you could or even should make a PDF ebook. My answer is… Yes. Possibly.
If I were giving away an ebook for free to a general audience and could for some reason only create a single version of it, I'd probably make it a PDF. If I were to charge for it, though, I'd also bundle with that PDF a MOBI and an EPUB version that people could load onto their portable devices and read more easily.
PDFs are a good choice if you want your ebook to have more advanced formatting. If you want multiple columns, for example, you'll have to go with a PDF over something like the MOBI or EPUB. And if your book has a lot of detailed charts or graphs, PDF is the way to go. If your book has tons and tons of images, it might make sense to use the PDF format for file size reasons. What I mean by that is that the bigger the file size of your ebook (and usually a lot of images equate to a larger file size), the less money you'll make from it if you sell it as a Kindle book, for example, because Amazon charges higher delivery fees for larger files and takes that fee out of your chunk of the commission. If your ebook gets to a certain point, it would make sense to go with Amazon's 30% royalty option instead, as no delivery fees are charged then. I've never published on Apple's iBookstore, but I'm fairly certain that for publishing an EPUB book there, there is no delivery fee, so even if your ebook is, heaven forbid, a gigabyte in size, you'll still get a 70% royalty check. The downside is that if you create your ebook using Apple's iBooks Author software, you can only sell your book in the iBookstore.
With a PDF, file size doesn't really matter. Some of the services that host and let you charge for your ebook file may have a file size limit for individual pricing tiers, but if you need more storage, you can usually go up to the next tier with more space for a reasonable price increase. Like with e-Junkie, for example, their $5/month plan lets you sell files that are up to 50 MB in size. That should be plenty for the vast majority of ebooks out there, but if your ebook takes up 100 MB, you can go to the $10/month plan, or $15/month for the 250 MB plan. Or you can just store the ebook file on your own through something like Dropbox and then charge people through Gumroad for the link to that ebook. Then file size really doesn't matter.
As much as I don't like PDF ebooks, some people do like them. In the past, I've given away free PDF versions of an ebook that people buy through Amazon's Kindle store.
Now having said all of that, I think that the number one reason to sell your book in an existing marketplace like Amazon's Kindle Store is that those marketplaces already have audiences and customers. People who browse for things on Amazon are actively looking for something to buy. Don't underestimate how much that can help drive sales. You don't get that from selling a PDF on your own.
2. When to start something new
I've gotten really good over the past year or so at not starting new things that require serious time commitments. At least, I've gotten good at it compared to previous years. I've still created new ebooks and blogs, but they don't require a whole lot of upkeep on my part, or in the case of some of the blogs, I created them for testing purposes and the plan from the beginning was to only have them going for a certain amount of time before finishing them. But I used to always be starting (or want to be starting) a big new project every couple weeks. I just had too many ideas and I wanted to do them all. The result was just about what you'd expect: none of them got the time or attention from me that they needed.
I do still have lots of ideas for things that I want to do. I just bought a new domain name from a guy for a new project, and it's one that has a ton of potential and I'm really excited about it. But for the immediate future, I'll just be sitting on the domain and not doing anything with it. One reason is that it more or less requires me to be in America and I won't be back in America anytime soon. But I also just can't justify the time away from my current projects. There is still so much that I have and want to do with what I'm already working on.
On top of all of that, even though it can be fun and exciting to work on a bunch of different things at once, it usually just ends up sucking because you feel like you're spread too thin, and you can't grow your projects to the point you'd like to. I have no interest in being in that position again.
One of the things that a lot of minimalist bloggers recommend when trying to manage clutter is the "one in, one out" policy. The idea is that if you buy something new, you need to get rid of something old. This way, the total amount of stuff you have won't grow. I think the same principle is good for managing your workload clutter. Once you get to the point where you don't really have any more time or energy for new projects but still want to do new things, stop one of your older existing projects before starting the new one.
3. Selling Wikipedia content
This is based on a blog post that I wrote a year and a half ago, but I wanted to revisit it. Here's the question: Can you take Wikipedia content, repackage it, and sell it (as an ebook, for example)? Is that legal? I did some digging, but before I get to what I found out, I do have a disclaimer. I am not a lawyer. I am not providing legal advice here, and you should seek proper legal advice before taking any action based on what you hear here. In other words, don't blame me if you get sued for stealing content.
So let's say you want to take a bunch of different Wikipedia articles about volcanoes and combine them into a single ebook all about volcanoes. Maybe your plan is sell it as a cheap Kindle ebook or something. To answer the question of whether it's legal to resell Wikipedia content, let's turn to Wikipedia itself. From the Reusing Wikipedia Content page, we get the following:
"Wikipedia's text content, in a nutshell, can be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license (CC-BY-SA)"
Ok, so we need to figure out what the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license says. For that, let's go to Wikipedia's Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License page. And I'll be linking to all of these pages in the show notes, of course. That page says:
"You are free to share or remix the work as long as you attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor. If you alter, transform, or build on the work, you can only distribute the resulting work under the same license. "
Note that there's nothing about using the content for non-commercial purposes only. So if I understand it correctly, you can indeed take Wikipedia text content and sell it. That's backed up by the following line from the Reusing content outside Wikimedia page.
"In the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (CC-BY-SA), re-users are free to make derivative works and copy, distribute, display, and perform the work, even commercially."
It's those last two words that we're interested in—"even commercially."
But according to the "share alike" clause mentioned, you can't copyright your work. You couldn't take a bunch of Wikipedia articles, combine them into an ebook and maybe edit them a bit, and then slap your copyright on there, saying that no one else can reproduce or copy the ebook. You'd still have to release the ebook under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. I suppose this means that other people could even take your ebook and sell it themselves.
So yes, you technically could sell Wikipedia content, but you'd have no real ownership over the content. You could sell it, but I don't know if anyone would be interested in buying it. If you want to read more of what I wrote about this topic, including using images found on Wikipedia, I'll include a link to my original article in the show notes.
4. How to fail at creating a book series
I'm not a fiction author. All of my 40-something ebooks are nonfiction, and you fiction authors out there have my admiration, because writing fiction is something that I'm almost physically incapable of. I'm horrible at it. But I do read fiction and I look at a whole lot of fiction on Amazon, and I want to issue a word of warning. You fiction authors need to be careful when writing a series of books. I'm seeing more and more bad reviews of what seem to be otherwise good books on Amazon where the reviewer is essentially mad that what is in the book isn't a self-contained story. There's no resolution, the readers are left hanging, and they need to buy the next book just to figure out what happens.
Readers don't like this. If you've got a series of books, sure, not everything will be resolved in a single book. But you also can't leave the readers hanging completely. Just think about the Harry Potter books. Each book has its own story arc that is completely resolved by the end. Throughout a single book, new things pop up that relate to the overall story that's happening over the series of books, and readers usually have some new questions by the end of the book, but Harry's year at Hogwarts has come to an end and main story of that particular book has been resolved. That's how you keep readers happy but also keep them interested in picking up the next book. Otherwise, even if your story is compelling, people are going to be mad that what they paid for was unsatisfactory, and they're being forced to buy the next book. The reviews of your book will reflect that dissatisfaction.
Pick of the week
And that now brings us to my pick of the week. This is where I pick one useful thing to share, and it can be an app, a website, a podcast, or anything else I find valuable. My pick this week is short and sweet. It's a blog called Her Packing List, and it's at herpackinglist.com. It's all about travel gear lists and gear reviews that are aimed specifically at women. Some of the recent blog posts there are How to Pack for Study Abroad in China, Five Items That Saved My Camping Trip in the Canadian Rockies, and a review of a travel clothes line made by Rick Steves. I think this blog is a great example of a niche within a niche within a niche. It's not a general travel blog, it's not even a blog about travel gear, but it's a blog about travel gear for women. It's a neat idea of how to create a blog in a niche that has a billion other blogs already, but do it in a way that is still different. Again, you can check it out at herpackinglist.com.
Final words
And that's all for episode 44 of the Digital Publishing Podcast. Be sure to check out digitalpublishingpodcast.com for complete transcriptions and other blog posts there at the blog.
Please don't hesitate to email me any questions you might have regarding digital publishing. I love talking about this stuff, and I'd love to help you out.

Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Ace Authorities: Chronologic Chaos
Being presented first is Ace Authorities: Chronologic Chaos, one of my games that was presented at Fantendo Freakshow. I already revealed the gameplay in Freakshow, so I'm going to reveal some other things. First of all, the two playable characters are police-in-training. Their names' are Lawrence (for Law) and Justine (For Justice). The antagonistic group of the game is going to have a disguise theme implemented into them. Some of the gadgets the playable characters are going to use are handcuffs, shotguns, police clubs, and many other types of tools. I also planned some of the stages of the game but I'm not going to reveal them at the moment.
Day 5
Project "Conspiracy"
The next game I'm revealing is an orginal called Project Conspiracy (tentative title). The main plot of the game is that 12 people are trapped in a city and they must survive by playing mini-games (as well as obeying the rules) assigned by a robot mascot host character, and while they are participating in the game, they find clues about the Conspiracy game (who created it?, who trapped them?, why are they trapped?). The game has visual novel elements, quick-time events, exploration, puzzles, and a few other gameplay elements. None of the characters have names or artworks yet, but I did figure out there concepts and significance in the story. The game will be for the Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC (via Steam).
Day 6
Day 7
Hope vs. Despair
If most of you may have known, I'm a HUGE fan of Dangan Ronpa, a visual novel game similar to Ace Attorney and Battle Royale. I recently got a Steam account and TF2 is a pretty fun game, so I decided to make a 3rd person shooter (even though TF2 is first person) with Dangan Ronpa elements with it. Like TF2, there are teams and classes in the game. The teams are the Future Foundation (Hope) and the Super High-School Level Despair (Despair). Although I haven't plan any classes, I will reveal them when I start the project. The game will be for the PC (via Steam), PS3, and Wii U.

I text this girl I like asking for help on a hw problem and she said that question was easy. So I ask if she can do the problem and text me a pic of it, and she said "not a chance in hell." So I thought it was a joke at first but then I responded jokingly asking if she didn't know how to do it and asked if I should just say please.
She didn't respond.
So an hour or so later I text her back saying I figured it out and that I was just being stupid. I said sorry if I came off wrong because I am just stressing for finals and asked if we were good.
Still no response. Did I say something bad? I seriously don't think I did. I really thought she liked me so if she doesn't respond to me asking if we are all good then should I assume it is 100% that she doesn't like me?
Could that one text really have changed her opinion on me like that?
Most Helpful Girl
If she isn't texting you back just over that, then she is WAY overreacting. However, it is very possible you are reading into her not texting you back way too much. There could very well be another reason she is not texting you back other than being mad about what you said. I mean I know sometimes I will randomly not text back for a reason as simple as leaving my phone in another room without thinking, and not even going in there to get it for a few hours. Just a mindless action.
I think you are worrying about this way too much.00|00|0
Yea I guess you are right, but at the same time I kinda think she is just ignoring them now because she responded in <5 minutes up until she said "no chance in hell". I really thought we were going to be in a relationship soon...guess I was wrong, big time :( I f***ing hate myself now for this(assuming she read the texts and didn't reply)
- Show AllShow Less
Haha well glad everything's okay.
So remember how she didn't help me? After she texted back she just said we were fine and then later she asks me for help on a problem. I tell her how to do it but she doesn't even respond to that. Then the next day she texts me again asking for help on a diff problem. like wtf is going on? Now should I read into it and say she doesn't like me past being friends? (and don't say I'm worrying :p because I'm not, just kinda curious)

I haven't gotten around to writing about holsters until now, and always figured that my first post would be about something I've used. Instead, I'm writing about a holster system that I hope nobody uses, because I think it could be dangerous.
Conceptually, Naturally Concealed is a very interesting solution to the long-standing problem of how women can comfortably conceal a handgun considering the bewildering array of clothing options they have, combined with their own unique physiological differences. The below-bust holster system designed and sold by Naturally Concealed is a very interesting attempt to address that problem.
Designed to be worn in a harness system that places a small handgun below a woman's breasts, the thought is to hide the weapon under the woman's cleavage. Conceptually, that is a very neat idea. I accept without reservation that the holster is every bit as comfortable and concealable as the site claims.
The problem?
Using the Naturally Concealed holster, the handgun is placed just off-center from the bottom of the sternum…perhaps a little lower on women who are a bit better endowed. This centerline arrangement means that any time the wearer sits or bends, she is sweeping herself with her own holstered weapon.
"Big deal," you might say. "There are lots of holsters that can cause you to sweep yourself on occasion." That is entirely true. Appendix carry holsters, pocket holsters, underwear (crotch) holsters and belt clips can all potentially point the muzzle of the weapon at the shooter. That is also the reason that I don't have any of these holsters. I want the muzzle of my weapon always controlled, and always pointing away from major structures.
Naturally Concealed potentially puts both vital organs and major veins and arteries under the muzzle, and that problem only increases at the moment of maximum need, that time when a woman needs to draw her weapon not on the range, but in actual defense.
First, the holster is slow to access. A woman wearing typical fashions is going to have to fight through the buttons of a blouse, the clinginess of form-fitting fabrics, and in many instances, will require a long and involved two-handed draw. The manufacturer notes that this isn't a fast draw holster, but that carrying a gun in a purse isn't a fast draw option either. I'll take her word for it.
But we're still eft with a holster that constantly sweeps the wearer throughout the day, is often pointed at the major blood vessels of the upper thigh and the pelvic girdle while sitting, and which when draw under stress, could very well end up pointed at the user's chest.
I could go on. I could get in much more detail, having talked to a noted human factors expert over this design and having spoken to a rather well-endowed friend who carries on a regular basis who simply laughed at the absurdity of using a holster she couldn't find, much less use.
It is an interesting conceptual product, but in the real world, I suspect that a holster that renders the handgun more dangerous to the wearer than any criminal that may cross her path.

So if your ugly, how do you make friends?
Most Helpful Girl
It definitely is harder, but you have to put yourself out there and find people who are willing to look past your looks. If they don't want to talk to you just because they find you ugly than it's not worth it anyway. I've found that out the hard way. I am ugly, and I've always had a hard time meeting new people because of it. I just basically keep talking to people. For me, most of my friends are people I met from High School (still friends even ten years later) and people from work. It's easier that way because you see each other everyday, and you end up bonding from that. It's harder just to make random friends.00|00|0

It has now been over a month since I have been back from the trip, and so many other things (like "real life") have gotten in the way, that I haven't had a chance to really sit and think about the impact of this trip on me. That is not to say that I don't think about it, which I do A LOT, it is just that I really wanted to have my reflections do justice to what we experienced.
And even after a month, it is so hard to describe. Going back to Germany meant seeing where my family really came from, and where they had lived for centuries. Even though they had lived there so long, none of that mattered – their contributions to society, the ultimate sacrifice of the loss of a son at war – when the Nazis determined that the Jews of Germany were to be exterminated. The biggest irony is that Germany was considered the pinnacle of civilized society, and yet, they demonstrated the highest level of barbarism that had been seen in the world. And the highest crime of all was that so many people stood by and did nothing.
And then there is the Fedou (and Valat) family, as well as the others in the French resistance, who were unwilling to stand by and do nothing. They resisted the cruel occupation of the Germans, they did all they could to save others, and also knew that even saving one family would make a difference. It sure made a difference to me. It was a great honor to meet them, and it also helped raise my awareness of what my family experienced to revisit the places my mother and grandparents had been during the war, and how they were able to safely stay in France after the war was over.
As I write this, ISIS has struck several times this week – both in Lebanon (11/12/15) and in Paris (11/13/15), as well as the continuing terror attacks in Israel. It seems that the world is always fighting some form of evil, but even as the terrorist attacks in Paris are getting a lot of press, there are always the stories about all the people who helped – a Muslim waiter who helped people hide in one of the restaurants, the doctors who rushed to the hospitals to help with the influx of patients, and people who were willing to sacrifice their lives to save others. I feel that we need to remember THESE people, as they are the ones who demonstrate true humanity. I never tire of saying that I would not be here today if it were not for a group of people who were determined to overcome the evil that they had been confronted with during the Second World War.
Merci Lucette, et merci à toute la famille Fedou, Comary, Colombera et Bousquet. Je serai toujours reconnaissante de votre bonté et honneur.
P.S. My mom truly is a rock star. She was a great travel companion, worked very hard during the German part of our trip with great aplomb, was pretty unfazed by everything, and it was so special to get to share this experience with her. Je t'aime, Maman!

Hans Magnus Enzensberger's non-fiction "adventure novel" about Buenaventura Durruti and the Spanish anarchist movement (ca. 1917-1937), first published in Germany in 1972, consisting of a more or less chronological "collage" of "translated, abridged and rearranged" excerpts from "reports and speeches, interviews and proclamations … letters, travel narratives, anecdotes, pamphlets, polemics, newspaper articles, autobiographical texts, flyers and propaganda leaflets" (including extensive selections from the eyewitness accounts of Simone Weil, Ilya Ehrenburg, H.

The mysterious trial of the POUM—Juan Peiró
A brief polemical article intended for publication in Solidaridad Obrera in November 1938, but suppressed by the government censors of Loyalist Spain, in which one of the leaders of the CNT expresses his outrage at the vindictive kangaroo trial of the leaders of the POUM, and issues a resounding appeal to bring the kidnappers and presumed murderers of Andrés Nin to justice in a real court, and to subject them to real laws and proceedings rather than the extraordinary practices of the secret judicial proceedings of the politically privileged Communist Party, to whom he only refers indirectly and with prudent circumlocutions.

Channel Islands business planning to open office in the Isle of Man
By Duncan Foulkes in Business
The Channel Islands Securities Exchange (CISE) has today announced plans to open an office in the Isle of Man and rebrand as The International Stock Exchange (TISE).
The Exchange, which is headquartered in Guernsey and opened an office in Jersey at the start of 2015, will launch a presence in the Isle of Man during next month.
Fiona Le Poidevin, Chief Executive of the CISE, said: 'Our plan to rebrand from CISE to TISE is a significant and very exciting milestone in the life of the Exchange. It reflects the very international nature of our existing business base but also our plans for the future, with the next step along that path being the launch of the office in the Isle of Man.
'I have made several visits to the Isle of Man in the last year and it is clear that there is significant interest from businesses in the island to have access to an exchange.
'The Isle of Man has trading companies within a diverse range of industries, including in the technology sector, who will be able to use the Exchange to raise capital to help them grow and the Exchange will also offer other firms the opportunity to participate in its success by being a listing sponsor or providing legal or administrative services to those companies being listed.
'Ultimately, we hope that our presence in the Isle of Man will directly and indirectly boost employment and growth in the Manx economy and generate positive revenues for the local exchequer."
The CISE is set to rebrand as TISE from March 6 and plans to launch its presence in the Isle of Man on March 9.
Jon Moulton, chairman of the CISE, said: 'The business has been developing very well over the last few years, with both an increased and more diversified flow of new listings but our longer term strategy for growth is based on continuing to expand our international footprint.
'Launching a presence in the Isle of Man, where there is real enthusiasm for local access to an international exchange, is the next phase of the longer term strategy for the business and we believe now is the right time to also reflect that through a change in name.'

Dress - Grazia for Simply Be, Tights - Evans, Shoes - Newlook (Widefit), Clutch - Newlook.
This dress is heavenly - especially the colour. I really struggle to find items in great shades of green, so when I found this i new I had to have it. The material is super soft and comfortable and the neckline is fabulous - I love the thin sheer panels, i think it adds that extra something to make this a really fantastic piece.
I picked up these shoes and this clutch (which I had been lusting after for months) in the Newlook sale for a combined total of £12! Such a bargain! The shoes are amazing - super sleek, comfortable and incredibly versatile, I could wear them smart, casual, to work or out for the evening as I have done here. I honestly love nothing more than a slightly masculine tailored shoe! Also, what can I really say about this clutch other than it is most likely the greatest clutch I own haha! It's so much fun and can really be the perfect statement item to set an outfit off!
It's also great as a ridiculous photo prop!
For dinner, we went to Bistro8 which is just outside Risca in South Wales and it was glorious! Pembrokeshire baby squid, rare sirloin steak and Baileys cheesecake. Exactly what was needed after our day of officially moving into our very own home!
Lots Of Love,

A reporter friend of mine, in town for the American Wind Energy Association extravaganza this week, reports that he had quite the experience during a 3 a.m. stop for gas on Riverfront — the street formerly known as Industrial.
"Wow. I've been to gas stations all over the world including the Third World, and this was the trippiest. Lots of action in the shadows — a transvestite hooker in $400 jeans howling at the moon, her drunk as hell partner, and a guy named Sarge who approached our car with multiple offers of mouth to male reproductive organ resuscitation."
Glad to see the city's plans for revitalizing Riverfront are progressing so well.

I just made my first batch of MMF. It is all greased, wrapped and ready to go for tomorrow. I have square or circle pans. Which would be better to use for my first fondant cake? Do I cover cake with BC first or is there something better/easier to use? I would also like any tips or techniques to make this go as "smooth" as possible for me I am very excited and nervous!!
Use a round pan. Round is always easier to cover in fondant. Yes to your second question. You need at least a thin covering (crumbcoat) of icing underneath your fondant otherwise it won't stick to your cake.
I agree with round! It would be much better to start with!
I agree a round is easier to cover with fondant. You ask for tips to get the best results possible. Allowing your cake to settle after filling will prevent it from having a buldge. Making sure your buttercream isn't too thick will give better results. Making sure your crumbcoat is smooth is also important. Your fondant won't be smooth if the cake underneath isn't.
I suggest that you watch Planet Cakes tutorial on youtube "how to cover a cake with fondnat". It is one of the best tutorials to teach you the proper way to cover your cake.
Good luck.
Thanks sooo much!! I will do a round cake and watch the video.
I am by no means an expert like some of the people on here, but I read that if you spray the cake with a little mist of water before applying the fondant it will make it stay on better with less bubbles. It worked for me!

A Component of Retinal Light Adaptation Mediated by the Thyroid Hormone Cascade

- DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0026334
- Keywords
Analysis with DNA-microrrays and real time PCR show that several genes involved in the thyroid hormone cascade, such as deiodinase 2 and 3 (Dio2 and Dio3) are differentially regulated by the circadian clock and by changes of the ambient light. The expression level of Dio2 in adult rats (2–3 months of age) kept continuously in darkness is modulated by the circadian clock and is up-regulated by 2 fold at midday. When the diurnal ambient light was on, the expression level of Dio2 increased by 4–8 fold and a consequent increase of the related protein was detected around the nuclei of retinal photoreceptors and of neurons in inner and outer nuclear layers. The expression level of Dio3 had a different temporal pattern and was down-regulated by diurnal light. Our results suggest that DIO2 and DIO3 have a role not only in the developing retina but also in the adult retina and are powerfully regulated by light. As the thyroid hormone is a ligand-inducible transcription factor controlling the expression of several target genes, the transcriptional activation of Dio2 could be a novel genomic component of light adaptation.

The Senate Committee on Works on Wednesday faulted the Federal Ministry of Works for paying N4bn mobilisation fees for the construction of 11 major highways in the country.
The committee insisted the contractors didn't deserve to be paid because they did not work on the roads last year.
The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Kabiru Gaya, told ministry's delegation led by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, that the development was unacceptable.
Gaya directed the ministry to brief the committee on the details of the contracts awarded in 2015 and their status at a later date.
He said, "Eleven contractors have collected mobilisation fees and there is zero implementation. Some collected N500m and one of the contractors collected N1bn.
"For instance, in the case of the Otukpo (Benue State) township road dualisation, N1bn was paid to the contractors. Minister, you need to check that and give us the details (of the mobilisation fees paid) in the next meeting.
"There is no point giving a contractor a mobilisation fee when he cannot perform."
He urged Fashola to consider fixing some of the major roads this year.
He said that the committee would work on the 2016 Budget proposal to ensure that funds were properly and adequately allocated.
Some projects identified by the committee for immediate fixing are the Lokoja-Okene, Oyo-Ogbomosho, Enugu-Port Harcourt, Kano-Maiduguri, Lokoja-Benin and Apapa-Oworonshoki roads.
Fashola, explained that not all the contractors given money had zero performances, adding that only N9.9bn out of the N19bn set aside for mobilising the road contractors was paid.
He said, "It is important to take the assessment that the committee has made on mobilisation into context. In my document, contract performance is not zero. My understanding here is that, going by the entire contract sum of N9.9bn, by law, the contractors should get at least 15 per cent to move to site.
"The part where we have zero performance in the document, if a contractor was supposed to get N1.5m and he got N500m, he cannot be mobilised. We will check and get back to you,''
The former Lagos State Governor said N10bn was budgeted for work on the Abuja-Lokoja road, N16bn for the Kano-Maiduguri road, while the rehabilitation of the Apapa-Oworonshoki road would gulp N5bn.

About MeHello
I am a 26 year old trained former actress and commercial model, now living and working in Bournemouth in the magazine industry. Open to suggestions/opportunities but not currently seeking work. Shoots with depth and a storyline/theme really appeal to me.
I love the art of photography and any evoking images, especially location work. I am keen to work with MUAs and hairstylists on beauty shoots. I also like to be creative and try new ideas and styles so any interesting concepts, get in touch.
I am also a trained dancer, i feel it gives me a sense of movement and elegance that can be useful to modelling
Please get in contact if you would like to work with me on a tfp/tfcd or paid basis. Looking for inspired, creative photographers out there!
Kind Regards

Related to bananas: go bananas
second banana
1. A performer who acts as a support to a lead comedian (the so-called "top banana"), as during a burlesque or vaudeville routine. I generally don't mind playing second banana when I'm with such a legendary comedian, but it would be nice to be the one getting all the laughs once in a while.
2. By extension, someone who occupies a secondary, lesser, or subservient role or position. I've been second banana in this company for too long now. I'm going to start up my own business, and then I'll be the one in charge!

drive someone crazy
Also, drive someone mad or bananas or bonkers or nuts or up the wall ; drive someone to drink. Greatly exasperate someone, annoy to distraction. For example, His habitual lateness drives me crazy, or Apologizing over and over drives me bananas, or These slovenly workmen drive me up the wall, or Your nagging is driving me to drink. All of these hyperbolic expressions describe a person's extreme frustration, supposedly to the point of insanity ( crazy, mad, nuts, bonkers, and bananas all mean "insane"); up the wall alludes to climbing the walls to escape and to drink to imbibing alcohol to induce oblivion.
go bananas
Act crazy, as in When it comes to animal rights, some people go bananas. According to the lexicographer J. E. Lighter, this expression may allude to the similar go ape, in that apes and other primates are closely associated with eating bananas. [Slang; second half of 1900s]

Sudan: The Elusive Quest for Peace (International Peace Academy Occasional Paper)
Embroiled in civil war since independence, Sudan has also suffered from the failure of both regional and international actors to fully come to terms with the scope of the complex issues involved. Sudan: The Elusive Quest for Peace contributes to a fuller understanding of those issues, exploring the factors that have contributed to the conflict from the days following independence to the present. Iyob and Khadiagala concisely examine the cultural, sociopolitical, economic, and geographical facets of the prolonged hostilities, then assess a sequence of mediation efforts. They also distill the web of grievances that fuel the current conflict in the Darfur region. They conclude with recommendations for the serious political and economic reforms in Sudan and the decisive efforts of external actors that will be required if the peace process is to move forward.

- Description
The Astronomik UV and IR cut Filter is great for for digital photography! The Astronomik UV-IR Blocker lets the full range of sensitivity of the human eye (according to DIN 5031) pass, and blocks all other parts of the spectrum in the UV and IR. The Astronomik UV-IR Blocker is the ideal choice as a luminance filter for any kind of digital photography.
Astronomik 31 mm Luminance (IR/UV Blocking) Filter
Mounted in Low Profile Non-Threaded Cell
Because of the perfect blocking of UV and IR all optical problems in these parts of the spectrum are avoided. The filter is optimized for systems with focal ratios between f/0.5 and f/50. The typical transmission is higher than 99%.
Because of the perfect blocking of UV and IR all optical problems in these parts of the spectrum are avoided. The filter is optimized for systems with focal ratios between f/0.5 and f/50. The typical transmission is higher than 99%.
The UV-IR Blocker gives you a perfect parfocal filter for the luminance channel. It is also great as a dust protection for your telescope and camera. It works as a dust protection of Schmidt-Cassegrain, Schmidt-Newton or Maksutov system or as a dust protection in front of DSLR camera and can be used as an alternative instead of the IR-Blocker if your camera has a high sensitivity at short wavelengths. Try using the Astronomik Luminance (IR/UV Blocking) Filter as an alternative instead of the MC Clear if your system has any refracting elements.
You should think about using the IR-blocker if your camera has a low sensitivity at short wavelengths. Think about using the MC Clear glass if you have a system without any refracting elements. If you do color imaging from light polluted places, please think about using the CLS CCD filter for the luminance data instead!
Now Mounted in Low Profile Non-Threaded Cell
Sometimes unmounted filters can be hard to handle. The smaller diameters, such as this 31 mm Luminance filter, can be especially difficult to pick up and insert or remove from the filter wheel, and that can lead to possible damage as well as unwanted reflections from incorrectly installed filters. Astronomik has solved this problem by mounting their 31 mm and 36 mm filters in a low profile (3 mm) non-threaded cell. O-rings, washers, or spacers are no longer required to hold the filter in place, and because the cell is only 3 mm thick, it works well in all appropriately sized filter wheels. Mounted 31 mm and 36 mm Astronomik filters will also play nice with unmounted versions in the same carousel.
Astronomik Luminance (IR/UV Blocking) Filter - 31mm Round Mounted Features
- Parfocal with other Astronomik filters
- Glass thickness: 1mm
- Cell thickness: 3 mm
- Completely resistant against high humidity, scratches and aging effects
- Diffraction limited, the filter will not reduce the optical performance of your telescope!
- Astronomik filters are delivered in a high-quality, long lasting, filter box

Great product. The replacement Right passenger mirror was delivered in about 9 days and was what was represented online. I found a you-tube video showing how to disassemble the door and replace the mirror. The new plastic back cover was black and I needed a white one.
I am a single female and I had a side mirror replaced before by a body shop and it cost over $250. With Parts Geek, I ordered the mirror and it arrived exactly as described in less than 5 days. I watched a video on uTube and replaced the mirror myself in less than 30 minutes. It cost under $50 and was so easy!!!
I am not sure how they make money on it because it seems to be a quality build mirror for bargain basement price of $40 including shipping. All tolerances for mounting screws are exactly right. No flashing on any plastic parts. Electric connector plugs like factory made and mirror moves quieter than factory mirror that became brittle and broke. 15 min is all it took to install. Shipping took a while but for the price it is amazing deal.
The part was reasonably priced and I received it in the time window advertised. The box I received it in was pretty beat up and thankfully no damage was done to the mirror. This could have been the carrier's issue and not "Parts Geek". I would purchase again thru them.
Great replacement! Seems as durable as OEM for a fraction of the price. I will buy more here, when I need replacement parts.
I was surprised by the high quality of this product and care taken in packing (especially considering the very reasonable price). Everything needed was included and it fit perfectly and functions as good as new.
Thank you!

Alleged Discrimination in Insuring Profit-Making Multifamily Housing Projects
CED-77-91: Published: Jul 12, 1977. Publicly Released: Dec 30, 1983.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO investigated certain allegations by black developers that the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) San Francisco regional office systematically discriminated against minority developers in HUD insured profitmaking housing projects.
Walter J. Taylor and Albert L. McKee alleged that HUD conspired against them in refusing to insure their multifamily projects for reasons of racial discrimination and that HUD underwriting regulations work to discriminate against blacks. No evidence was found by GAO to support the complainants' allegations. Further, the challenged underwriting procedures, specifically the fair market rent test and the financial resources requirement, were judged reasonable and necessary to help ensure approval of economically sound projects and protect the Government's interest. Basically, both projects were affected by the same factor, building cost increases, that would have required charging higher rents than those charged for comparable dwellings in the area, which is specifically forbidden by HUD underwriting procedures. Also, the HUD income estimate for the projects was lower than the amount needed to justify the level of mortgage insurance required.

XtreemFS 1.4 Announced
The XtreemFS team releases a new stable version of their cloud filesystem: XtreemFS 1.4.
For this latest version of XtreemFS, some major improvements were made to the existing code and new features were added. Some of the changes include:
- Improved stability: The development team calls the latest version "rock solid" and notes that a problem with client crashes caused by network timeouts and issues with the Read/Write file replication has been fixed.
- Asynchronous writes: With this functionality enabled, write() requests are executed in the background, improving write throughput without weakening semantics, according to the announcement.
- Windows Client (beta): The new version of the filesystem features a complete rewrite of this component.
- Hadoop support: The development team says XtreemFS can be used as replacement for HDFS in a Hadoop setup. The new version comes with a rewritten Hadoop client that provides data locality information to Hadoop.
According to the project blog, XtreemFS 1.4 is the result of almost 1000 commits to the code repository and extensive testing. And, because XtreemFS is an open source project, the team welcomes external contributions. A list of areas in which to contribute can be found on the project website at: http://xtreemfs.blogspot.de/.
