Recently I have found a nice library that made my life easier. According to authors it is the most comprehensive, enterprise-ready framework for provisioning SharePoint artifacts on SharePoint 2010, 2013 and O365. SPMeta2 is a code-first provision library supporting the provision of more than 120 artifacts in robust, highly repeatable and testable way while leveraging either one of the CSOM or SSOM SharePoint runtimes.
The library has the github repo with a documentation and lots of examples. The library is distributed via NuGet
Authors claim that SPMeta2 fully replaces XML allowing you to focus on writing clean, unified, reliable and reusable code.
I have tried to deploy a few lists and almost everything have been handled by SPMeta2.

Existing networks, whether cellular, broadband or wifi, have been developed to connect people to one another, or computers to the internet. They are designed for communication or entertainment: high volumes of data delivered with low latency. IoT devices don't need to transmit or receive large amounts of data at a time; IoT devices can be anywhere, not just in someone's living room or office; and many IoT devices will be remote and inaccessible, or without power connections. A new connectivity solution, called Low Power Wide Area Networking, has been developed, pioneered by Actility amongst others, to address specifically the requirements of the internet of things. The most widely adopted LPWA solutions are the open standards of LoRAWAN™ and 3GPP (LTE Cat M1 and Cat NB1).
In this session we will listen from Actility's expert team on how they have enabled solutions such as Smart Factories, Connected FuelTank, Smart Buildings, SupplyChain and many more.

Keeping the Beaglebone firmware & kernel up to date
Note: This process can leave your Beaglebone unable to boot particularly if you run out of space in the
/ partition.
If your Beaglebone is working, leave it alone.
Only do this for a Beaglebone where you don't mind if it takes you a while to fix if something goes wrong.
Be sure you have enough room in the root partition / on your Beaglebone.
At least say 100MB (preferably you don't have your Beaglebone that full anyway). You can free space via
df -h
Update Beaglebone kernel and firmware
cd /opt/scripts/tools
git pull
Look to see if any errors happened. You will need to reboot when this is done, if no errors happened. If things get really messed up, you may need to reinstall everything from scratch–erasing all existing files in the process.
For example, you can use the procedure above to update from the Linux 3.8 kernel to the 4.1 kernel on the Beaglebone.

There are several programs that allow the inspection and manipulation of 3-D structural protein data. In this course we use the swiss protein data bank viewer, aka Deep View. An alternative, very popular to generate rotating or rocking images is pymol . A very simple get to know pymol exercise is here. (If you think protein structures are in your future, you might want to give this a try in your own time).
SPDBV is a good choice, because it also provides an interface to the Swiss Protein databank modeling software.
The SPDBV program is available free of charge from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.
There are several on-line tutorials available to learn the use spdbv:
The exercise in this section is taken with slight modifications from Gale Rhodes' basic tutorial, many of the exercises in the following sections parallel exercises in the basic tutorial.
You can retrieve pdb files from the NCBI, or from the protein structure data bank at Rutgers University. (To do so search for the file -use only the name, omit the extension-, once the page for the structure has loaded, click the download link in the upper right hand corner and click on the link that indicates to download the uncompressed pdb file.) (The ones used in the course are also available here - we will use 1HEW.pdb and 1bmf.pdb today)).
Create a folder on the desktop (in finder - the application that runs when you click somewhere on the desktop- select file, select new folder). Name the folder with your name.
Save SPDBV_4.1.0_OSX.zip to this folder (ctrl click, select download linked file as ...).
Double-click the zip file to extract the folder. Inside the folder, you will find the "Swiss-PdbViewer" application. Drag the icon down to your dock, so that you will be able to find it again easily.
(Here is the original download location, in case you are using something other than a Mac.)
For the instructor to get to know you, and to allow a more organized way to help students, please write your name on a small piece of paper (or on an the wings of an origami crane). If you have a question and the instructor is busy helping other students, please move your name card onto the top of your screen, the instructors will try to help you ASAP.
Do the following:
copy the files labeled 1bmf and 1HEW from here into a folder on the desktop of your computer
(go to the listing, ctrl click on the name and "save link as ..." to a folder on your computer. <ctrl click> means that you press down the control key on the keyboard at the same time as you click with the mouse. In a two button mouse, this corresponds to a right click.
One suitable folder to copy things to is the folder called download in the SPDBV folder).
Double click on the icon "Swiss-PdbViewer" to start SPDBV.
load 1HEW.pdb (At the very top on the screen, click on file, then open PDB file).
There is the tool bar panel and located above the window with the structure, but below the program bar at the top of the screen. It looks like this:
The button which is second from the left allows you to move the structure in the structure window. Click on it and then click and hold in the structure window to drag the protein to the desired location. The third button from the left allows you to zoom in or out. Click on it and then click and hold in the structure window to drag the protein larger or smaller. The fourth button from the left is the rotate button. Click on it and then click and hold on the structure window to rotate the view.
The leftmost button centers the structure in the structure window. Click it now to return the molecule to the center of your screen.
Explore Different Display Options. For large structures, render in 3D may slow down the program, but for small ones like 1HEW, render in solid 3D is a useful choice.
click on the page icon (in the second row of the tool bar and is a white rectangle-- you may need to expand the menu window to see the page icon) and scan through the pdb file.
The Control Panel looks like this:
open the control panel (in the WIND-menu at the very top of the screen).
open the alignment window (in the WIND-menu at the very top of the screen)
select all (to do this, either hold down the Apple key and press the letter A (Apple-A) or look under the select menu at the very top of the screen).
in the WIND-menu, click Ramachandran plot
in the control panel, select different residues (click on the 'h' and 's' in the first column, then hit return (return make the selected residues visible, else the visibility and the selected residues can be different!). How does the display change in the Ramachandran plot? In the main window? (For more info on the Ramachandran plot see http://www.bmb.uga.edu/wampler/tutorial/prot2.html)
select all, hit return
Explore different coloring using the color menu at the very top of the screen (CPK, secondary structure, accessibility) and display options in the display menu at the top of the screen (show CA trace only, show oxygen, ...)
Often the amount of information is overwhelming.
REMARK: If you do serious work save your work periodically, sometimes it is impossible to recover from inadvertent mouse clicks). If you used the interactive feature of the Ramachandran plot to (inadvertently) modify the structure, re-load the original 1HEW file.
Remark2: There is a difference between select (the residue turns red in the control panel) and actually seeing the residue in the main window. If you hit return the selected residues become visible.
Remark3: Especially when working with large structures, it is beneficial to only display the alpha carbons of the backbone. To do so, shift mouse click in the side (side chain) column of the control panel (to turn on/off all checkmarks in this column). In the display menu uncheck "show backbone oxygens", and check "show backbone as alpha carbon trace".
Remark4: Another way to have an overview picture is to select ribbon representation in the control panel. Uncheck (shift mouse click) all other columns and check the rbn (ribbon) column. To have color commands act on the ribbon display, you need to select the ribbon as target for the color commands (either via the first item in the color menu, or via the little black triangle below the "col" (color) header in the control panel.
To highlight residues in the substrate binding pocket do the following:
Select (point the cursor over the NAG201...at the bottom of the control panel) the NAG inhibitor (shift click adds to the selection).
Color CPK
Invert selection (in the SELECT menu at the top of the screen)
Color secondary structure
Invert selection
In the Tools menu at the top of the screen, choose compute H-Bonds
click "side -" column in the control panel to turn the sidechain display off
Select only the NAG inhibitor in the control panel
In the select menu at the top of the screen, select Neighbors of selected aa - check select add to selection button
hit return
click on the + under the "side" header in control panel (acts only on selected residues)
In the select menu at the top of the screen, select group properties, and then Non-polar aa
click on Header COL in Control panel select a blue color to color hydrophobic residues blue
Are there "blue" residues interacting with the N-Acetyl glucosamines? How come?
Can you locate which one of the Tryptophan residues "sits under" the second of the N-Acetyl glucosamines?
Play around, if in doubt use the ? button.
The worst that can happen is that you'll have to restart your computer. SPDBV allows you to model protein structures, i.e. you can actually change the structure (e.g., you can drag a dot in the Ramachandran plot; this changes the structure irrevocably). If this happens to you by accident, close the structure and reload. If you work on something important save you work frequently.
Open the alignment window and display the complete lysozyme molecule. Observe the color change in the structure that happens when you move the mouse over the sequence in the alignment window.
The resulting display after some beautifications might look like this:
yellow: the NAG inhibitor;
blue: residues in the binding pocket that are non-polar, depicted as space filling balls;
red: other amino acids in the binding pocket;
gray: the rest of the Lysozyme molecule, but only the backbone.
Trouble shooting: In case your cartoon (ribbon) display does not look nice:
1st: in the Control panel window, check that the coloring commands are selected to pertain to the the ribbon.
2nd: under preferences, select ribbon, and place a check mark in the field "render as solid ribbon"
Other things to try:
3D rendition (in the display menu),
slab view (shift and mouse forward/backward move the slab through the molecule, shift and mouse left/right change the slab size),
explore the make up of the PDB file (text icon below the cursor control).
If you <alt> click on a residue in either the alignment window or the control window, the display centers on this residue.
shift and mouse click adds residues to the list of selected residues (works in either window)
Can you obtain a figure similar to the one below?
Go to the control panel click on the little black triangle to the right of the col column and select color ribbon, then secondary structure in the color menu. Display ribbon in the control panel, remove the other displays .....
Exercise 2:
Aligning F-ATPase alpha and beta subunits
Start SPdbV
Open 1bmf.pdb
Color Chain
Change color chainD to grey/blue (left click in control panel on D in first column to select chain D, right click on COL, select color)
Scroll down the control panel and select all ATP analogs (labeled as ANP, ADP or ATP)(press ctrl key and right click to select)
right click on COL in heading and select red color
Read the pdb file to get info on which chain is which
select chain F (including nuc) and save selected residues as betaTP.
select chain A (including nuc) and save selected residues as alphaE.
After playing with the F1-ATPase, close this file and open betaTP and alphaE.
In WINDOW - Display layer info
select and display only the nucleotides (ANP600)
There are different ways to align 3-D structures. One way is to select 3 corresponding points in each of the two structures. To do so you can use the substrate molecule.
Using the mov check off in the Layer Info window, reorient the two AMPs so that they are in a similar orientation (but not overlapping).
Click on the align bottom with the 3 green and 3 red dots. Notice the red instructions that appear in the header next to the pdb-page icon. Follow these instruction using three corresponding atoms.
Make all of the aa visible (using the control panel).
SHIFT DISPLAY CarbonAlpha trace chain (Shift makes the commands act on both layers)
Color according to secondary structure. (Alternatively, you can use the ribbon display, colored according to secondary structure.)
Pressing control tab switches the display between the two layers.
(You also could rotate the subunits into a nice position and then using the mov checks in the Layer info, move the two chains next to each other.)
What do you think about the result?
Another way to align structures is to use the magic fit in the tools command. Do this and run improve fit (notice the red info in the header)
Click on alpha in Layer info to make the alpha subunit the active layer
Make the beta subunit the active layer
COLOR rms . The further the atoms in the beta subunit are away from the alpha subunit, the longer wavelengths it is the colored.
WINDOW display alignment window - gives you the aligned sequences.
Which part of the molecule looks different between the Alpha vs. the Beta subunit?
Is the Walker motif (G--G--GKT) well aligned in the structures? How did you locate the molecule?
Choose one of the following options,
then click the button.

Response to a benefit dinner theater in Fort Payne has been so overwhelming an additional performance has been scheduled.
The DeKalb County Children's Advocacy Center's Annual Dinner Theatre sold out the originally scheduled five performances. The sixth performance is general admission only, but tickets must be purchased in advance.
The show is at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 9.
Tickets are $5 for children and $10 for adults.
The play being performed is "The Last Resort." It stars Fort Payne native Sandra Lafferty, most recently seen onscreen as Maybelle Carter in "Walk the Line," the story of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.
"The Last Resort" is written and directed by Eddie McPherson, another Fort Payne native. McPherson has more than two dozen plays to his credit.
To purchase tickets, call (256) 997-9700.
The Music Education in Schools group and the American Heart Association are sponsoring a benefit concert at 7 p.m. Feb. 2 in Wallace Hall on the George Wallace Drive campus of Gadsden State Community College.
Starring will be Kristian Crowe, Miss Gadsden Area 2006, and Jamie Langley, Miss Jacksonville State University 2006.
They both were preliminary winners and top 10 finalists in the Miss Alabama Pageant the past two years, and both will be competing again in the state pageant this summer. They work hard as community service volunteers. They are involved in "A Note of Joy," which promotes music education in schools, and "Cardiac Care," working hand-in-hand with the American Heart Association to educate the public on heart care.
Tickets are $5 for adults and $4 for students. Call (256) 831-3761.
The Sweetheart Gala, a production of the Cancer Foundation and the Etowah County Medical Alliance, is Feb. 14 in Gadsden Convention Hall.
Traci Billingsley, a physician's assistant, began the project a year ago to raise money for the collateral needs of cancer patients.
"In my job, I learned a lot about the many problems of cancer patients," she said. "One of those problems is just getting around. They need transportation, money for gas or new tires. Many of them come here to Etowah County for treatment; they come from all over the area. They need help with the small things as well as the large ones."
The Cancer Foundation Traci began makes a difference in the lives of patients.
Last year, Traci threw a big party - this dance - with all the trimmings and a $10,000 cash drawing to boot.
Admission to the dance is $125 per couple.
"Last year, we sold 500 tickets, which meant 1,000 attended," Traci said. "Convention Hall cannot hold that many people at a party like this. So this year, the tickets are the same price, but we're limiting the number of sales to 300 couples, or 600 people."
The soiree calls for business-casual attire. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Valentine's Day. Dinner is buffet-style.
Drawings begin when the dance starts and continue throughout the evening. This is a reverse drawing, meaning the big prize goes to the couple whose name is drawn last.
Call Traci, 393-3388 or 442-9434; Phil Owen, 546-4680; or Caroline Harrison.

Babolat has kept the specifications on the new 2015 Pure Drive Tour virtually the same as the previous generation Pure Drive Roddick, Pure Drive Roddick Cortex and Pure Drive Roddick GT. Great player-oriented tweener (between powerful/controlled) frame for those who prefer a Pure Drive with a heavier heft. 100 sq. in. head, 11.80 ounce strung weight, and 315 swingweight provide an excellent balance of power, control, and maneuverability. The Pure Drive Tour provides a little more stiffness and power, provided you are able to handle the additional weight.
a lot of power and control,just what i need.if you are a 4.0 or plus,this is the racquet you should buy...
Just bought two of these for Christmas. Awesome racquets love the feel. Haven't quite gotten used to them. Much heavier than my last racquet so my arm is quite sore from the first day of playing with it.

Google Analytics is an absolutely crucial element of any website. It's a free tool from Google which provides valuable insights into how much traffic your website gets, where it comes from and how users interact with your website.
Why Install Google Analytics On Your Website?
I'm so passionate about every website owner using Google Analytics, even if you don't understand all the features that it offers. It's great to have a beautiful website but if you have no idea if you're getting 1 visitor a day or 100,000 visitors a day then how can you define a successful online marketing strategy?
Not only does Google Analytics tell you how many visitors come to your website, but they can tell you how many pages they visit, how long they spend on your site, what cities/countries they are in, what devices they are using and even things like what internet browser they are using and who their internet provider is!
Some of the key data I look at for my own blog and my clients are of course visitors and pages viewed, sources, search queries, site content (including landing pages and exit pages) and site search (you can get some great data here to help inspire your blog content!). I'll do a whole separate blog post on this later as there are so many great sources of data to keep an eye on once you've installed Analytics on your website.
How To Set Up Google Analytics On Your Website
Google Analytics is also super simple to set up. If you have a WordPress website, I recommend installing the Google Analytics By Monster Insights plugin. Once you've done that, head over to Google Analytics and follow the set up instructions. Once it's complete, you'll be given a unique tracking code and a number that starts with 'UA-'.
Depending on what you're using to add Analytics to your website, you'll either need to add the tracking code or simply input the 'UA-' code.
Once you've added the code, check that it's in the correct place on your website. It needs to appear before the closing header tag on your website. If you're using a plugin, it should take care of all of that for you. To check this, right click on your website and choose 'view page source'. A new window will open and you can see all the code behind your website. Press Ctrl-F and search for 'UA-' to find the Analytics code. Then do a search for '/head' and make sure that is lower down than the Analytics code.
Now you should start to see traffic coming through on your Google Analytics account in the next few hours or day. If you want to find out where on the internet your users come from, click on Acquisition and then Source/Medium.
You'll be able to see exactly where your traffic is coming from – whether it's organic (people clicking on Google search results), from social media, other search engines like Bing or Yahoo, or from other websites which are linking to your website. You can also see what kind of split there is between the different sources, so you can see if you get most of your traffic from social media, Google searches or referral websites.
If you have any goals that you want to track on your website, for example a pdf download, a purchase or the completion of a contact form, make sure you set up conversions on Google Analytics in the Admin section.
If you need help setting up your Google Analytics account or tracking your goals, feel free to get in touch with me and I'd love to help you!

Don't Spam
There are a lot of companies that offer email marketing services; constant contact, mail chimp, and Hubspot, just to name a few. Email marketing is basically the process of emailing relevant and useful content to a group of people who have opted in to receive information from you. The key word here is opt-in. There are can-spam laws agains spamming people with content, so all email marketing services will ask you if your lists meet certain requirements before allowing you to upload them. Beyond these laws, it's also common sense to market to people who want to hear from you.
We all get so much email every day, that if a person receives email from an unknown address that they didn't ask for in the first place, that message will most likely just be deleted. It's better to put time and effort into strategies to generate opt-in email addressed than it is to mass email out to a purchased or otherwise non-opted-in list.
So now that we have spam out of the way, what should you be putting in your email? Like I said above, make sure it's relevant and useful.

One of the biggest advantages of using an email marketing software, as opposed to just sending an email through your hotmail or gmail account, is that you have much more control over who receives your message, and what message you send. By segmenting lists into interest areas, you're more likely to get people to open the message. For example, if you have a list of people interested in gardening and you send an email about building a greenhouse, or what vegetables to plant in the spring, you're most likely going to get a higher open rate because it applies to them.
On the other hand, if you don't know anything about your audience, you have to leave your message much more generic. This is still ok, sometimes you want people to know about a product or service that maybe they haven't thought about before.
As you build your email list and start learning more about your customers, you can further segment them into these niche groups. This will allow you to continue sending out general emails, but also more specific emails that might lead to more sales.
So by segmenting your lists into groups by interest area, you'll get more bang for your buck. You might not know everything you want to about your customer right away, but over time, as you grow a customer base, you can learn more about their interests, and even give them the option to opt-in to other types of emails you might offer. Let people tell you what they want, don't make a random guess and you will be much more successful with email marketing.

Despite putting on a brave face, Khloe Kardashian's social media reveals the star's heartbreak.
Okay, at this point, we really want nothing more than to give Khloe Kardashian a big hug and maybe a tub of ice cream.
The last couple months have been stormy for the 29-year-old reality star, who is reportedly separated from husband Lamar Odom amidst numerous rumors of hardcore drug use and cheating with multiple women. Khloe even removed Odom from her last name on Facebook and Twitter, making it difficult to see a happy ending for the couple.
But after Lamar was spotted outside their Tarzana home earlier in the day October 1, we hoped the sighting was a sign of a reconciliation on the horizon. However, that doesn't appear to be the case if Khloe's latest Instagram is any indication.

The evening draws in, it's cold outside, the Christmas lights twinkle over the street like coloured diamonds. From the warmth of my indoor sanctuary I watch people scurrying in and out of shops, laden with bags full of food and gifts, hearts laden with duties and expectations. Everyone seems to have too much to do, they are in a hurry all around me, but why, what is so urgent at christmas that it is worthy of all this stress? turkey? presents? tree?
Christmas for me has become a time of quiet and rest. I realise the expectations, the 'musts', the 'shoulds' and traditions have just dropped off my shoulders this year. I feel free to be the way I wish for Christmas. And I wish not to Christmas. The ghosts of past make the traditional Christmas celebrations a time of sadness for me rather than celebration. So I can make other days of the year times to celebrate, christmas can be a time to rest, let go and let be.
I think many people will identify with the experience of Christmas being one of stress, anxiety, duty and keeping traditions simply because it is expected. Christmas, for many of us, has quite simply become about meeting the expectations of others – be it those of family, friends or society. For so many of us it has nothing whatsoever to do with what we want or need.
Personally can't remember a Christmas where I have not ended up in tears. I've been exhausted playing piggy in the middle trying to keep my partner and my mother happy, often simple ending up by disappointing them both. Every which way I've tried to 'solve' the logistics of Christmas I seem to have failed.
My brother asked me last year what I would choose to do if I got to plan Christmas solely for me. I was stumped. I had no idea. The mere concept of what I might want for me felt so alien. Wow! Overwhelming. I had not a clue.
So last year I decided to quit Christmas. I chose not to see my family at all. Not to celebrate at all. I made myself an amazing warm curly kale salad for lunch. I then packed my bag, my cats and headed off to a shack in the middle of the Swedish countryside with no running water and just a wood fired stove for heating and stayed there for 4 days. It was the most wonderful Christmas ever. I was free. I was me.
That seems to have broken the dark spell Christmas had over me. My family now do not hold the same expectations they used to. I shook the system up good and proper. I now have the space and freedom to dictate my own Christmas.
So from my indoor sanctuary on this Christmas eve I observe the world scurrying their way towards another Christmas day. The Christmas tree with tinsel and lights, presents overflowing under its boughs. The turkey in the oven, trimmings, roast veggies, mince pies, cake, pudding, custard, brandy butter.

Nature-designed carbonized-wood scaffold for reversible Li+ cycling
Scientific Achievement
Wood-based anisotropic mesostructures provide a robust, highly porous & conductive 3D framework that both guides the Li stripping/plating process & contains volume changes, demonstrating long-term cycling stability under high current density (~150 h at 3 mA-cm-2) in symmetric Li ion battery cells.
Significance and Impact
Enlisting nature's design & fabrication as a new scalable synthesis paradigm, carbonized-wood mesoscale architectures achieve robust cycling of Li metal anode.
Research Details
- Well-aligned 3D wood channels with lithiophilic coating (ZnO) enables a homogeneous contact with fast Li+ flux for uniform Li nucleation & growth.
- Compared to bare Li metal, Li/C-wood electrode presents a lower over-potential (90 mV at 3mA.cm-2), more stable stripping/plating profiles, and better cycling performance.
- Similar improved stability has been demonstrated for the Na/C-wood composite system.
- Y. Zhang, W. Luo, C. Wang, Y. Li, C. Chen, J. Song, J. Dai, E. Hitz, S. Xu, C. Yang, Y. Wang and L. Hu, "High-capacity, low-tortuosity, and channel-guided lithium metal anode", PNAS (2017) 114 (14), 3584-3589. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1618871114.
Li metal anode with its high specific capacity (3,860 mAh.g-1) and low anode potential is extremely attractive to battery technologies, but challenges remain due to large Li volume change which would lead to the formation of SEI cracks and Li dendrites. Here we introduce a design of Li metal/carbonized wood (Li/C-wood) composite with structural properties ideally suited to address the above issues.
NEES scientists Liangbing Hu and coworkers designed and fabricated a highly porous C-wood 3D framework with well-aligned channels for Li metal anode. The C-wood electrode was fabricated by infusing metallic Li into the channel structures made possible by the ZnO coating, which ensures proper wettability and homogeneous contact with Li+ flux. The C-wood channels function as excellent guides for the stripping/plating process and effectively accommodate the resulting Li volume change. Moreover, the local current density has been significantly decreased due to the 3D channel structure to obtain uniform Li nucleation and growth while alleviating dendritic Li growth. As demonstrated in symmetric cells, the Li/C-wood electrode presents a lower overpotential (90 mV at 3mA.cm-2), more stable stripping/plating profiles, and improved cycling performance (∼150 h at 3 mA·cm−2) compared to the bare Li metal electrode.
The rational structure design of multifunctional mesoscale architectures, in this case utilizing nature-made materials that are both scalable and bio-degradable, provide a useful solution for fabricating high-capacity, dendrite-free Li metal anode.
This work was supported by DOE-EERE-BMR, CRA-MSME and EFRC-NEES for model development performed at U. of Michigan State.

- Abstract:
- Genetically modified pigs are becoming an invaluable animal model for agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. Unlike traditional transgenesis, which is accomplished by randomly inserting an exogenous transgene cassette into the natural chromosomal context, targeted genome editing confers precisely editing (e.g., mutations or indels) or insertion of a functional transgenic cassette to user-designed loci. Techniques for targeted genome engineering are growing dramatically and include, e.g., zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems. These systems provide enormous potential applications. In this chapter, we review the use of TALENs for targeted genome editing with focus on their application in pigs. In addition, a brief protocol, including construction of sequence-specific TALENs, delivery of TALENs into primary porcine fibroblasts, and detection of TALEN-mediated cleavage, is described. This chapter is useful for scientists who are inexperienced with TALEN engineering of porcine cells as well as of other large animals.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention pertains to auxiliary knobs used in conjunction with cameras focused by rotating a knob associated with rack and pinion focusing systems. The auxiliary knob improves handling, access and operating characteristics.
2. Description of the Related Art
Photographic cameras of the professional type as mounted upon a tripod or other fixed structure often include a focusing mechanism for adjusting the focus. Such focusing systems often consist of rack and pinion type drives wherein the rotation of a focusing knob rotates a gear meshing with a rack which permits the lens system to be adjusted.
Because of size and design limitations, access to such focusing knobs may be limited. With many camera designs using focusing knobs the knobs are relatively small in diameter, which requires a relatively tight grip upon the knob to produce the necessary torque to adjust the lenses.
In addition to requiring relatively high torque for camera focusing, the conventional knobs are often mounted so close to the camera body, and levers and operating mechanism mounted upon the camera body, that the fingers often engage the camera body during operation of the focusing knob, and women will often break fingernails due to the proximity of the knob to the camera body and camera body components. Even more seriously, the size of the focusing knobs, the frequency of usage, and the torque required to produce focusing, may cause medical problems of the wrist, hand, fingers or forearm, and may cause carpal tunnel and arthritis symptoms.
It is an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive auxiliary camera focusing knob capable of being readily placed upon the conventional camera focusing knob, and wherein the auxiliary knob includes a turning surface having a diameter substantially greater than that of the camera focusing knob, and the turning surface engaged by the fingers is located remotely from the camera body and associated components.
Another object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary camera focusing knob which may be easily placed upon conventional camera focusing knobs and is held thereon by the elastomeric material of the auxiliary knob frictionally grasping the camera focusing knob.
A further object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary camera focusing knob adapted to be placed upon, and supported by, a conventional camera focusing knob and wherein the diameter of a knob turning surface defined on the auxiliary knob provides a significant mechanical advantage with respect to camera focusing as compared to the standard focusing knob, permits quicker accurate focusing, reduces posing time, and reduces medical problems attendant with camera focusing.
The auxiliary focusing knob in accord with the invention comprises a body of elastomeric material, such as rubber, which is of an elongated configuration having an axis of rotation when applied to the rotatable camera focusing knob upon which it is placed and supported.
The knob includes an inner end having a cylindrical recess defined therein which is of a diameter slightly less than the maximum diameter of the camera focusing knob. The recess is surrounded by an annular axially extending lip defined by the auxiliary knob material which is capable of outwardly resiliently expanding whereby the camera focusing knob may be inserted into the recess and the resilient nature of the auxiliary knob material will produce an effective gripping and frictional connection with the camera focusing knob.
At its outer end, the auxiliary knob is provided with a cylindrical turning surface of a diameter substantially greater than the diameter of the standard camera focusing knob. Accordingly, the greater diameter of the knob turning surface reduces the effort to provide camera focusing.
An annular cavity is formed in the auxiliary knob outer end in radial alignment with the knob turning surface to form an inwardly deformable rim which permits limited inward radial deflection of the knob turning surface when grasped by the fingers to give the auxiliary knob a soft and high quality feel as the auxiliary knob is rotated.
The central region of the auxiliary knob between its inner and outer ends is of a conical configuration, and the depth of the recess receiving the camera focusing knob is greater than the axial dimension of the flexible lip circumscribing the recess whereby the conical configuration of the knob outer surface provides increased lip thickness which increases the resistance to expansion of the knob material, and this configuration assures a firm mounting of the auxiliary knob upon the camera focusing knob.
The auxiliary knob turning surface is significantly axially spaced from the knob inner end and this spacing places the turning surface remotely from the camera body and associated components providing excellent access to the turning surface and eliminating finger contact with the camera body as the auxiliary knob is rotated.
The aforementioned objects and advantages of the invention will be appreciated from the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a rear and side perspective view of the type of camera utilizing an auxiliary knob in accord with the inventive concepts, the auxiliary knob being installed upon the camera focusing knob nearest the viewer,
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the camera FIG. 1, the auxiliary knob of the invention being mounted upon the left camera focusing knob as viewed, and the right camera focusing knob being illustrated in its normal manner,
FIG. 3 is a diametrical, elevational, sectional view as taken through an auxiliary camera knob in accord with the invention along Section 3--3 of FIG. 4,
FIG. 4 is an end elevational view of the auxiliary knob inner end as taken from the left of FIG. 3,
FIG. 5 is an elevational view of the auxiliary knob outer end as taken from the right of FIG. 3,
FIG. 6 is a diametrical, elevational, sectional view of the auxiliary knob as placed upon a conventional camera focusing knob, and
FIG. 7 is an elevational, sectional view as taken along Section 7--7 of FIG. 6.
A typical photographic camera of the type which would use the auxiliary focusing knob in accord with the invention will be apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2 wherein the camera is generally indicated at 10. The illustrated camera is one manufactured by Mamiya, and it is to be understood that the knob of the invention may be employed with a wide variety of cameras and optical devices, it only being required that the critical dimensions being adapted to the particular equipment with which the auxiliary knob is
The camera 10 includes a body 12 which is normally mounted upon a tripod by means of the tripod mounting structure 14, FIG. 1. The camera includes an adjustable lens system 16 wherein the lens 16 may be adjusted relative to the body 12 for focusing purposes. Such focusing is accomplished through a pair of camera focusing knobs 18 located upon opposite sides of the body 12, FIG. 2. The knobs 18 are mounted upon a shaft 20 upon which is supported a spur gear, or the like, not shown, which meshes with a gear rack, not shown, connected to the lens 16 whereby rotation of the shaft 20 will move the lens 16 toward and away from the camera body 12, as is well known.
The camera focusing knobs 18 are usually formed of a rigid plastic, and the periphery of the knobs is usually provided with a plurality of ribs 22 to improve friction with the fingertips to aid in knob rotation. The diameter of the knobs 18 is usually a little less than one and one-half inches, and as will be appreciated from FIG. 2, the knobs 18 are located relatively close to the camera body 12.
Various operating structure is mounted upon the camera body 12, such as the lever 24, which may be for film advancement purposes, or the like, and little clearance often exists between the knobs 18 and the camera body 12, and the knobs 18 and lever 24, and the like. Accordingly, access to the knobs 18 by the fingers is somewhat restricted, and because a knob 18 is located adjacent lever 24 the fingernails often engage the lever 24 and are broken thereby. This problem is particularly prevalent when focusing is attempted by women due to the longer fingernails.
As the diameter of the knobs 18 is relatively small, and as focusing of the lens 16 often requires significant effort, rotation of the knobs 18 with the fingertips may be relatively difficult, and this one of the reasons that two knobs are used whereby the shaft 20 may be rotated by both hands, each hand being associated with a knob.
The auxiliary knob constituting the invention is best illustrated in FIGS. 3-7 wherein the auxiliary knob is indicated at 26. The auxiliary knob 26 includes a body 28 which is formed of an elastomeric material, and preferably is formed by NBR rubber having a grade 70 durometer, and the knob is formed by a compression molding process. The knob material may be of any desired color. While black is the standard knob color, it may be white or of neon colors which aid in locating the knob in a darkened room, as is common in photography studios using controlled lighting.
The body 28 is of an elongated configuration having a central axis, and the ends of the body are defined by the inner end 30, which, when the auxiliary knob is mounted upon the camera 10, is disposed toward the camera, and an outer end 32.
The outer configuration of the body 28 is defined by the outer surface 34 which includes a cylindrical lip surface 36 adjacent the inner end 30 and intersecting the inner end. A tapered or conical central region surface 38 comprises the central portion of the outer surface 34, and a cylindrical knob turning surface 40 which intersects the body outer end 32 defines the remainder of the outer surface 34.
A cylindrical recess 42 is concentrically defined within the body inner end 30 and includes a cylindrical wall 44 and a flat end wall 46 defining the bottom of the recess. The diameter of the wall 44 is less than the diameter of the lip surface 36 resulting in an annular lip 48 formed of the rubber of the body 28 which is in radial alignment with the recess 42.
As will be appreciated from FIGS. 3 and 6, the longitudinal depth of the recess 42 as defined by the end wall 46 is greater than the axial dimension of the lip surface 36, and due to the configuration of the tapered surface 38 the innermost portion of the recess 42 will be surrounded by a thicker lip portion as indicated at 50, FIG. 3.
A cavity 52 is concentrically defined in the knob body outer end 32, and the cavity 52 includes the cylindrical wall 54 and is axially defined by the end wall 56. Preferably, the axial dimension of the cavity 52 equals the axial dimension of the knob turning surface 40, and the cavity 52 is in radial alignment with the surface 40. This relationship produces an annular rim 58 radially located with respect to the surface 40, and due to the elastomeric nature of the material of the body 28, the rim 58 is of such radial thickness as to permit limited inward radial deformation by the fingers when gripping the surface 40. Such deformation of the rim 58 produces a soft and high quality feel to the knob 26 during use, improves friction and reduces finger fatigue and hand medical problems.
To use the auxiliary knob 26 of the invention, it is merely necessary to axially align the recess 42 with a camera focusing knob 18. The normal diameter of the recess surface 44 is slightly less than the maximum diameter of the knobs 18 as defined by the outermost portions of the ribs 22. For instance, the diameter of the recess wall 44 may be 0.020 inches smaller than the maximum diameter of the knobs 18. Accordingly, when the knob 26 is pushed upon the knob 18, the knob 18 will be received within the recess 42 until the recess wall 46 is engaged, FIG. 6. Entry of the knob 18 into the recess 42 will radially expand the elastomeric material within lip 48 and produce a firm and high frictional engagement between the recess wall 44 and the knob 18 as the ribs 22 will be firmly engaging the recess wall 44. Also, due to the presence of the thicker lip portion at 50, full insertion of the knob 18 into the recess 42 will produce a firm and highly frictional interconnection between the knob 26 and the knob 18 as the greater wall thickness at 50 will resist the expansion of the lip 48. Usually, an auxiliary knob 26 will be located on each camera knob 18.
Rotation of the knobs 26 and 18 is now accomplished by the photographer gripping the knob turning surface 40 of the auxiliary knob with the fingertips, and rotation of the auxiliary knob 26 will produce a like rotation of the associated camera focusing knob 18. In a commercial embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the surface 40 is approximately two and three-quarter inches, and as this dimension is considerably greater than the diameter of the knobs 18, a greater torque arm with respect to shaft 20 is provided which minimizes the effort required to rotate shaft 20. Further, the greater diameter of the surface 40 permits a finer and smoother adjustment and rotation of the shaft 20 than is capable with the smaller camera focusing knobs 18.
When it is desired to remove the auxiliary knobs 26 from the knobs 18, the auxiliary knobs may be pulled from the knobs 18 so as to disengage the camera focusing knobs from the recesses 42.
As will be appreciated from the drawings, the knob turning surface 40 is axially separated from the inner surface 30, in practice, almost one and one-half inches, and the fact that the axial dimension of the auxiliary knob 26 is considerably greater than that of the camera focusing knobs 18 the access to the knob turning surface 40 is much easier than with respect to knobs 18, and fingernail breakage problems are eliminated. The larger diameter of the turning surface 40 as compared to the diameter of the knobs 18 significantly reduces the torque required to produce camera focusing which reduces fatigue in the hand, wrist and forearm and reduces the likelihood of medical problems including carpal tunnel and arthritis. Also, accurate focusing time can be reduced which shortens the necessary posing time by the subject being photographed and increases productivity.
An auxiliary knob in accord with the invention can be economically produced, and may be installed and removed from the camera focusing knobs 18 by photographers of conventional mechanical skills and aptitude.
It is appreciated that various modifications to the inventive concepts may be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

If you're new to BlitzMetrics and working in operations, or you just didn't know and are interested, we used to use Basecamp Classic.
Only a few internal people need access to the original Basecamp, since most of the threads were migrated.
This tutorial outlines how to revive a Basecamp Classic thread that's been migrated. Although it will seem simple enough, it's not exactly intuitive, ergo this brief training.
NOTE: Any time you see a training here, it's because someone (in this case me) ran into this issue several times and thought it would be good for others to learn how #LDT…also #CCS.
Step 1 – Type the name of the old thread into BC2 search and click.
Step 2 – Dig, dig, dig.
I won't attach a GIF explaining this one, because it would feature me scrolling for however long (or using comm + F) to find the exact title.
You'll come to realized that Basecamp's search feature is archaic compared to the intelligent search that Google has spoiled us with.
That being said, happy digging and reviving– you're now equipped to resurrect Basecamp Classic threads!

Daniil Kvyat is hopeful the Bahrain Grand Prix will be a turning point for his Formula 1 season after having what he labelled as the first "clean" race of 2015.
Kvyat retired in Melbourne and Shanghai, and while he finished in Malaysia, his race was compromised by brake issues.
Last weekend in Bahrain he charged from a lowly 17th on the grid to his second points finish of the season with ninth place.
"The recovery was not too bad I think, starting from there," Kvyat said. "I think we all more or less managed the race on our strategy.
"So a good recovery, and these kind of races put a little bit of a smile on my face. We finished, we ran solid, we got a lot of information and feedback from the car.
"So this time we can look at where we can improve.
"It's very important because in China and Australia I couldn't learn much, unfortunately.
"I would say it's probably the first quite clean race from a reliability point of view, and now we can start moving forward from here on."
Reliability progress needed
Kvyat's season has been plagued by reliability problems so far, and the Russian admitted both Red Bull and Renault needed to improve.
Asked what promises he wanted from Renault he said: "I think we don't want any promises, we just want to see progress itself.
"We both as a team and the engine side want to improve, working with Renault, improving our chassis, me analysing the race and understanding where I can pick up the pace.
"It's a long process, many things are happening and going on, and hopefully we will come up with something."

They might want to start giving away seats in Cincy *
posted by BIGSKYND
and the one they did make, Cornell for Air Force, is a bit odd. I would have thought they would put OSU into Cincinnati even if it meant moving the UMD regional there. They claim to seed the field assuming the higher seed wins, so the thinking is they don't "expect" North Dakota to win, so the overall #1 seed Denver would not have to face a "home" team to win a second round game. You could have easily figured out a way to have both WMU and OSU in Ohio. WMU fans have shown a willingness to travel. They had great crowds at the Joe in Detroit for some CCHA tourneys or Great Lakes games. While that is half the trip Cincinnati is, it might have been worth it to flip a few teams around.
Michigan Tech fans at least did not have to spend a lot watching their team in the conference tourney since the WCHA moved everything to campus sites, so perhaps they'll spend some cash to get to Ohio. DU fans do not travel well at all. I don't know about Union fans, but its a small school without a ton of alums and only recently became a factor in NCAA hockey.
UMass Lowell might be the only team to bring a lot of fans to Manchester. Ithaca is 350 miles away and Notre Dame will have their typical east coast contingent, and Minn has fans, but do they travel all the way to New Hampshire? Having PC and Harvard in Providence will assure a good crowd Friday, but half of them will be gone for Saturday, and WMU and Air Force are not going to have a ton of fans there. It looks like Fargo will be packed Friday but if BU wins Friday they better hope the Duluth wins and their fans buy tickets from Sioux fans. A BU OSU final will be lucky to draw flies.
Once tOSU was in I figured for certain ...

Holidays in Dubai
Dubai Holiday (Le Meridien Al Aquah Fujeirah)
Dear Nikki
A big thank you Nikki for your help we really appreciated it, you were really quick to respond to our distress and very professional thankyou. It is really good to know that we travel with such a great travel company every year who really do everything to help us fly home safely!
It was quite funny because the internet went down in the hotel we were staying in for about four hours so we could not access this last email and e ticket. Thankfully the concierge desk had saved the email that we could not open to her disk and printed it off that way, so we were quite lucky. We were home in time for christmas and managed to cook a big christmas dinner for nine relatives from Holland!
We really enjoyed staying at Le Meridien Al Aquah Fujeirah Dubai and thought the quality of service excellent and staff really helpful, overall an amazing hotel. However it was your professionalism, quick response and help at The Holiday Place that we really appreciated. With the flight being cancelled it could have been disatourous, however it all went really smoothly thanks to your help.
Many thanks for everything again and we look forward to travelling with yourselves again in 2011.
Kind regards
Gabrielle and Rene Bleidorn

So it is the start of day three and I know I should be writing rather than blogging but I wanted to stop in and share my progress. The kick-off went well. We had ten people show. Five of us were returning from last year, one was an eight year (?) NaNoWriMo transplant who was to join us last year but we never saw him, one was a newbie with a fifteen month old at home and three were teenage newbies. I am so excited to find out how this experience will change them as writers and people. They were already so bright and full of ideas. It was great seeing them jot down their thoughts and smile while they were writing. NaNoWriMo is a good thing!
My goal was to hit 10,000 words by Sunday night but Saturday brought the unexpected. My mom was hospitalized with chest pain. It was a bit scary and I felt rather helpless. It turned out to be arterial fibrillation. Not good, but at least not a heart attack. Being 3,000 miles away there wasn't much I could do to help but after that I kind of lost the urge to write. Dealing with the unimaginable all day, by evening there was no steam left for the imagination.
By Sunday morning all was well. My mom was still in the hospital and won't be released until today but knowing she was safe I was able to double my word count from the day before and ended with just over 6,200 words. The story is shaping up. I started with no plot and no characters and now have introduced my MC, her foil and the three characters who will contribute to the plot. I am attempting a young adult novel as per my daughter's advice. I read it aloud to her last night and she gave me the thumbs up. I feel pretty good about that because she is a very well read seventeen year old. She is also honest with me about my writing.
So I should get busy. My MC is calling. Take care and happy writing.
