Local protest of child marriage in Iraq
Gathering in El Cajon condemns proposed change in Middle-Eastern law
Eric Bartl 12:30 p.m., Nov. 21
San Diego Although their team may be scrambling for stadium money, Padres honchos Larry Lucchino and Charles Steinberg have put together enough cash to buy a luxurious La Jolla Shores condo together. According to a deed filed in county records on September 5, Padres co-owner and president Lucchino and Steinberg, listed on the team's website as "executive vice-president/public affairs," each purchased a 50 percent interest in the condo on Vallecitos for a total of about $816,000, having borrowed $398,000 from Washington Mutual. The unit had formerly been owned by Sanwa Jitsugyo Co., according to the records. This April 5, Steinberg, who once reportedly served as the club dentist to the Baltimore Orioles, in which Lucchino formerly held an interest, quitclaimed part of his interest in a $110,000 condo on Midland Road in Poway to a woman in what the deed listed as a "refinancing" ... Those "Olympic Extra" editions of the Union-Tribune being hawked on downtown street corners by a middle-aged "newsboy" dressed like a football referee haven't been flying into readers' hands, but the promotion, complete with fast-food tie-ins, TV spots, and a billboard attached to a roving flatbed truck, is said to please Copley "editor in chief" Herb Klein, a big Olympics fan. In February 1959 Klein, then editor of the San Diego Union, wrote then vice president Richard Nixon, his one-time political mentor, suggesting that the presidential candidate-to-be schedule a session with a well-known Olympian. "If time will permit, while you are in Los Angeles, it would be a good gesture to invite up for a brief talk Rafer Johnson, who recently was named California athlete of the year and is president of the UCLA student body. He is a very fine young colored lad who, you will recall, won fame by beating the Russians in the decathlon. I think this could be arranged very easily and again would make an interesting picture."
Hollywood's dark cavities
San Diego's anti-fluoridation activist Jeff Green is taking a direct shot at the moguls of Hollywood, in the form of a lawsuit his organization, Citizens for Fair Treatment, has filed against eight major studios. This one has nothing to do with fluoride, though. Instead, Green's suit alleges that Hollywood has engaged in deceptive, unfair, and unlawful business practices by aiming its ads for R-rated movies at children as young as ten years old. Green says the case stems from that recent report by the Federal Trade Commission, which charged that film companies used everything from high school newspapers and teen-oriented magazines to spread the word about the adult flicks. "This unscrupulous, unethical, unlawful and deceptive marketing of violence and adult content to impressionable children was intended solely to reap greater profits at the expense of children and the general public. Intentional marketing to and targeting of impressionable children with adult films depicting sex, violence, and drugs is unscrupulous and unethical, so as to constitute an unfair business practice," charges the suit, filed in Los Angeles.
Plane crash
Forty-eight-year-old San Diego State University biologist Steve Hastings is recuperating in an Alaska hospital after the twin-engine Piper 1040 Navajo carrying him and nine others plunged into the tundra at Nuiqsut airport near the Arctic Circle. Four people, including the pilot, were killed when the Cape Smythe Air commuter plane crashed a week ago Monday during its second landing attempt, according to an account in the Anchorage Daily News. "It was almost like a dream," Hastings told the paper. "I thought, 'Oh, no, he's having trouble getting control of this plane... It was immediately apparent to me we were going down. I don't know how I got out, to be quite honest, because right now I can barely move without pain." Hastings suffered two fractured lumbar vertebrae and bruises, the paper said ... Attempts of San Diego based Vortex Aviation Services to operate helicopter tours of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming have inspired a new bill by Wyoming senator Craig Thomas to ban all such operations in Yellowstone National Park as well as Grand Teton.

Creating Invisible ARtaffects with LJMU
18 June 2013
Our colleagues at FACT were keen to create a new commission tapping into the use of augmented reality (AR) technology and incorporating elements of our own work on physiological computing.
During the initial period of the partnership, we'd had a lot of discussion about blending AR and physiological computing. Our role was firstly to provide some technical input to the concepts produced by Manifest.AR, but as often happens when enthusiastic people get together, our collaboration became more about the development of a shared and realistic vision for the pieces.
When you put academics and artists together, developing a shared vision is an interesting exercise. I can only speak for ourselves but part of our job was almost to be the party-poopers who said "no, we can't do this because it won't work." Another (much more rewarding) part of our role was to have an input for new types of interactive experiences as they were in the process of being developed.
The concepts for all the pieces developed as part of the project are represented in the Invisible ARtaffects show and I'll walk through each with respect to the physiological computing aspects.
The first I'd like to describe is John Craig Freeman's EEG AR: Things We Have Lost. This is an elegant piece where John collected interview data on the streets of Liverpool by asking the public one simple question – "what have you lost?" This question prompted a series of answers, some fairly trite (I lost my keys), some humorous (I lost my hair) and some very moving (I lost my wife). John then proceeded to use these answers to create a series of augments.
John was working with a NeuroSky EEG unit and using the standard 'meditation' settings from the system in order to make these various augment materialise on a phone or tablet. From speaking to Craig and his colleague Will Pappenheimer, it was obvious that our artist collaborators were using the EEG in order to generate 'chance' or 'random' forms of interaction. In other words, wearing the neurosky and relaxing would provoke a random augment associated with an answer to the question "what has you lost?" Here is a 2005 conference paper that describes this approach in the context of biofeedback.
Sander Veenhoof developed an AR concept that was close to our hearts (quite literally) and any other academic attends a lot of conferences. Human Conference Sensors monitors the engagement of an audience member during a presentation and to introduce augments in order to provoke an increase of attention if they experience boredom. Hopefully the speaker behind the podium has no awareness of how many augments are being activated during their talk; the idea of this system being active during one of my undergraduate lectures fills me with dread.
I Must Be Seeing Things by John Cleater is similar to the EEG AR piece in that the person must relax in order for an augment to materialise before their eyes. What is interesting about John's piece is that he is using AR combined with psychophysiological regulation to enhance and adapt an actual physical object. This piece works by the person viewing a book of sketched objects via a phone or tablet – as the person relaxes, an augmented object fills out the blank spaces of the sketched object as an overlay. I liked the idea of materialising a virtual object in this way and it's a neat example of mixed reality with a physiological computing component.
All the pieces described so far are only available as concepts, screenshots, animations and movies in the FACT exhibition.
Biomer Skelters by Will Pappenheimer and Tamiko Thiel is different in the sense that it is available in an interactive form as part of the show. The central concept of Biomer Skelters is to create virtual plants in an urban space and therefore to repopulate the lost vegetation of the city.
What Will and Tamiko have created is a mixed-reality experience where the person can walk the streets of city, creating virtual vegetation like a trail of breadcrumbs, which can be viewed on a smartphone or tablet. Biomer Skelters incorporates a physiological computing component that Will created working with his students at Pace University. As the person walks, they see a representation of their heart rate. Naturally heart rate tends to increase as people walk, particularly if they walk fast and so the idea is that the person must walk whilst maintaining a relatively low heart rate in order to maximise the number of plants created in their wake. Why is maximising the number of plants important? Because there is a competitive element to the piece – Will and Tamiko have designed the software to spawn two types of plants: native species or invasive tropical species and participants play as two individuals or two teams where the objective is to "out plant" one another.
Biomer Skelters incorporates several aspects that (to my knowledge) have not been incorporated before. There is a mixed-reality concept using a camera view, a physiological computing component and geo-located game mechanic linked to biofeedback. The tests we have run so far shows that the code holds up and the system works well, but much depends on having a good quality smartphone.
We really enjoyed working on these pieces and there are lots of things here to follow up, both in terms of interactive art and AR-based games.

text: Finally upgraded to Launcher Pro Plus, and loving the Calendar widget. Today I added my class schedule to my google calendar. Now in the widget, whenever there is a day that you have an event there is a little notch in the corner of the day. My question is this: is there a way to have only certain events put this little notch on the box for the day? Before I put my class schedule in my calendar it was only my personal events that had shown up such as the wedding I'm attending this weekend, but now there is an event indicator for every day because of my schedule. Any help would be appreciated.

Relationship Between Collapsing Ice Sheets And Gulf Stream Shut Down
Most people know that the Gulf Stream is responsible for keeping Northern Europe and the northern Western Hemisphere temperate. It is the driving component of a planetary current system known as the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt or more obtusely, the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
The current conveys warm water from the lower latitudes northwards, where it acts as a massive heat exchanger between air and water. The warm water heats the atmosphere west of Europe, which allows the region to enjoy a reasonable climate.* The returning cold current provides atmospheric air conditioning for the United States.
What most people don't know is that the Gulf Stream has mostly likely been irrevocably compromised by global warming, a condition that may very well lead to what scientists are now calling abrupt climate change.
The North Atlantic Ocean Current is driven by two variables: water temperature and water density. Here is how it works: warm, salty, lower density water flows north along the North American Atlantic Coast and then north and north by east toward Europe. In the northern environs, the heat is released into the atmosphere, while at the same time, winds off of Greenland and Canada cool the water.
The cool salty waters increase in density and sink to the bottom and creates a current that flows back south.
The current threat lies in the massive amount of ice melt taking place on Greenland and northern Canada, a process which which dumps trillions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean, which decreases the water's salt content and therefore it's density. If enough fresh water flows into the ocean, the cooling waters will not sink, and the conveyor will slow and eventually stop.
According to a 2003 report prepared for the notoriously liberal US department of defense, the following scenarios would apply to a shut down of the MOC:
• Annual average temperatures would decrease up to 5° F in North America, and up to 6° F in northern Europe. It is estimated that a new Ice Age could be brought on by a 10° F drop.
• Temps in the Southern Hemisphere would increase about 4° F.
• Multi-year droughts –which are already increasing dramatically – would cause even more stress on agriculture and especially water supplies.
• Extreme weather would spike even further than it has in the past decade.
There are signs that this process has begun, but it isn't possible yet to prove it. The fact that Greenland's land glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate is not debatable. Scientists who have been modeling the pace of global warming have revised their projections upward in terms of how fast the pole regions are changing.
Once the Gulf Stream weakens and dies, all bets are off.
* Note that when the English and French sailed straight west, they ended up far north in the Maritimes in terms of latitude.

- Group sex (4 or more)
- Dominance & Submission
B is a petite, attractive natural redhead and loves being used by tall, confident, assertive and dominant black men. B meets black men dressed like the submissive white slut that she is, wearing a collar and Queen of Spades tattoos to show that she is black-owned. She is bisexual but prefers a nice hard cock, she loves to give oral and her blowjobs are mind-blowing!
K medium build dark haired and is comfortable around other guys in a MMF situation but is 100% straight. K loves to watch B fucked by black guys so the only single guys we meet are black.
We always swing together and enjoy full swap, group, MMF and are open to new ideas too but anal sex, pain, water-sports and webcam are of no interest to us. We do not meet bisexual men or TV/TS.

We're used to seeing Lady Gaga in all manner of fantastical looks (we've lost count at this point), but the singer proved she's still the mistress of reinvention when she tweeted pics of her latest transformation into a unicorn.
The singer posted two pics of herself as the mythical creature to her Littlemonsters.com website and linked to them via her Twitter page, with one pic featuring the singer as a Gothic, leather-clad unicorn, and another image showing Gaga topless, covering her modesty with her hands and wearing pale green trousers, a dramatic coat and facial prosthetics with a horn.
Are Gaga's latest pics the stuff of fantasy? Leave a comment and let us know what you make of Mother Monster as a unicorn and don't miss Gaga's style evolution below.

When I first saw a picture of this, I thought it was some digitally created image, but it's actually a real thing. How boss would this be to have this in your startup office?
This is the Cloud, designed by Richard Clarkson who makes a bunch of other cool gadgets, and it's a motion detecting remote controlled light-up bluetooth speaker system. In short, this thing brings lightning and thunder into your home for reals.
You definitely have to check this baby out:
If you are just like me, you'll want one in your home and/or office like, yesterday, but you might want to check your piggy bank first. A normal cloud system is available for purchase from Richard Clarkson's studio, but it will set you back a wholesome $3,360.00. However, the lamp only option goes for $960.00, which you still have to be a baller to drop on a lamp.
Now I can really say "I love lamp."

The Express - "Race for the 5th"
Today, The Express presents responses from the 12 candidates seeking the Fifth Congressional District seat on what they would bring to the office. We asked:
"What qualities do you have that would make you an effective Congressman?"
I am the only person in the race who has actually worked on and passed federal legislation so I understand what it requires to take on the special interests in Washington, D.C. in order for us to change how things are done.
As a junior member of the Senate Labor Committee staff, I helped pass the Family and Medical Leave Act. As a staff assistant to former Sen. Harris Wofford, D-Pa., I worked on healthcare reform legislation.
As a Marine and an Iraq War veteran, I also understand all too well the importance of serving the mission before serving out any personal interests. That is the type of congressman that I will be in order to cut out the bickering and actually get things done.
My diverse background as a businessman, scientist and elected official will enable me to effectively represent you in Congress.
First, my wife and I founded and operated a small business for 29 years (The Victorian Manor Restaurant). I know what it takes to encourage economic development and a "business friendly" environment.
Second, my formal education includes a Ph.D in Geochemistry from Penn State. As a scientist I understand complex environmental issues, energy development, and the protection of our environment.
Third, I have been in involved in public service for about 29 years and served on numerous authorities, boards and commissions. I served on the College Township Council for eight years, two of them as chairman. More recently I served four years on the Centre County Board of Commissioners (chairman). During my tenure we completed three major capital projects without raising taxes, while maintaining a healthy fund balance. As my grandfather used to say "before you tell me what you'll do, show me what you've done."
Thirty-five years as a business owner, 12 years as a township supervisor, serving as the police commissioner, Emergency Management coordinator, Planning Commission member, working with thousands of constituents on a daily basis to address their needs and concerns. This experience gives me a clear vision, the leadership abilities and the problem solving skills the district and our country needs.
I understand this is an opportunity to serve you and it is really about serving you, not putting a list of my priorities together and telling you this is what we need to do. It is you telling me what you want done and working diligently to accomplish your requests.
As a county commissioner for one of the largest counties in the 5th District, I have hands-on experience dealing with important issues including economic development, job creation and balancing budgets. I also spent 10 years serving on a school board which gives me strong experience dealing with public education issues.
I understand the issues facing the rural counties and communities that make up the 5th District. I have experience working closely with federal, state and regional officials on projects to bring jobs and community development to communities within the 5th District.
I am a lifelong resident of northcentral Pennsylvania and I will remain committed to continuing the important work to bring jobs and new industry to the region regardless what happens with the vote on April 22. During this campaign I've stressed that I bring honesty, integrity, experience and a record of results that few of the other 12 candidates can claim.
An effective representative needs to understand an entire district. I have spent the last three months meeting with the entire Fifth District and am proud to be a member of such a talented constituency. I am humbled, yet excited, that I will get to represent such fine people.
We need a return to compassionate conservatism in Washington. I work with families daily and I listen to them and their needs. I understand the anxiety caused by possible plant closings in Saint Marys and Wellsboro. I can feel the worry of parents as they watch their sons and daughters go off to serve our nation. I understand the concern when government officials make decisions, like the proposed tolling of I-80, which can affect an entire area's economic growth. I will be there to listen to you.
It is not about my agenda, but about our agenda. I am not looking at representing the Fifth District as a stepping-stone to something bigger. I want to serve the people of the Fifth. I will continue to hear the concerns of all constituents regarding the betterment of the Fifth District and implement solutions to put us on the right path forward.
There are many challenges ahead. We need someone with the life experience, the ability to listen to the people, and above all, compassionate leadership. My life experience in constant service to the people of Saint Marys and Elk County make me the perfect candidate to support the entire population of the Fifth District.
First, I am the only candidate trained in the law. I not only
studied and practiced law, defending people against lawsuit abuse, I also
taught Constitutional Law.
I left a successful law firm to become a pastor. I have firsthand
experience in working with struggling families and in counseling people who have lost their way and need to get back on track. I think that's where we are as a society. I also have a passion for moral issues, borne not of political expediency but of spiritual conviction. I know what it means to take a stand, even when it is unpopular. I know what it means to be a leader while being a servant. It's high time we sent a pastor to
Finally, I am a working class man. My grandfather was a farmer. My
father was a soldier. I worked my way through college, law school, and
seminary. I work hard now to provide for a large family on a modest budget.
We make tough decisions and exercise discipline and good judgment to live within our means. I believe Washington has lost touch with those values of everyday, ordinary hard-working people, and we should make Congress once again a citizen legislature rather than a millionaire's club.
Congressman Peterson did a tremendous job during his tenure, and I applaud him for serving his constituents with such distinction. It is imperative that the next Congressman continue his leadership and be prepared to deal with important issues affecting the district like: the economy, energy independence, and illegal immigration.
The next Congressman must strive to create a climate conducive to economic prosperity for individuals, families and small businesses. My experience has made me uniquely qualified to go to Washington and represent the citizens of the 5th District.
I am a businessman, husband and father of three. I am the only candidate with experience working on Capitol Hill when I worked for Senator Rick Santorum. I also chaired President Bush's 2004 campaign in my home county.
I have also been a board member on a number of organizations. I was on the board of directors for the Pennsylvania Tourism and Lodging Association for four years. I am also a board member on the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce and the Penn State Quarterback Club, but I am most proud of my charity work. I am a founder and current member of the board of directors for Kicks 4 Kids charity which has raised thousands of dollars for terminally ill children since its inception in 2000.
I believe the voters of the 5th District want someone who has good ideas and will have the clout in Washington to represent and protect the interests they hold dear.
I've always believed that all politics are local. As your congressman on the federal level I will ensure local officials, county commissioners and our state leaders are all working together and in the know on all issues that cross my desk. I've often said that everyone who runs for higher office should have been either a school board member or township supervisor. This is when you learn what accountability means and it reminds you why you are in public office and who it is you are serving.
I will have three offices running in the district as well as a mobile staff office. Leaders and citizens of Lock Haven will know that my bus will be in town on a certain given day of the month. I will always be accessible and listening to the needs and concerns of my constituents who sent me to Washington.
Just like all of you, I spend every day working to make my community better. As a father and husband, as a leader in a number of community organizations, as a health care executive, and as mayor of one of 5th District's most vibrant communities, my life is defined by my commitment to making our communities better. I have shown that commitment by fighting for the whole district against the efforts to bring tolls to Interstate 80 - a key piece of our region's economic livelihood.
Our district's representatives past and present have all understood the importance of economic development for the future of our region, and with almost 30 years of business and economic development experience, I have the drive to stand up and continue the fight to improve our region and communities.
I believe that my maturity and real life experience makes me the most qualified for this position. I have stood up for the entire 5th District in the past, and I will proudly stand up for our district in Washington.
Experience and shared values. At age 48, I am a life-long resident of the district. I know what it is for a family to live paycheck to paycheck. As a 26-year health care professional, I have refined the skills of identifying root causes of complex issues. I am experienced working with diverse teams to solve problems, including citizens, local, state and federal officials. My record includes developing cost-effective solutions to complex problems.
My leadership experience includes school board, Workforce Investment Board, Private Industry Council, past president of state and national health care associations and president of the Boy Scout Council. Much of my life has been dedicated to developing our future with 30 years as a Scout leader. I am experienced in the legislative process, having assisted in drafting and obtaining bipartisan support of a federal Medicare Access bill currently before Congress.
My readiness to serve includes a thorough understanding of the regulatory system as a 15-year liaison to the Medicare agency fighting for cost-effective care and patient access. I have served six years as Centre County Republican chairman developing working relationships with local, county, state and federal elected officials. I am pro-life, pro-marriage and a lifelong hunter. I share your values. look forward to earning your confidence as we work together to address your issues and concerns. Finally, I view serving as your congressman a calling to serve the needs of all residents in this district including the citizens of Clinton County.
The people of Clinton County and Lock Haven know me. I want to serve the whole 5th district the way I've served Lock Haven. My leadership has been recognized by Governor Ed Rendell, State Senator John Wozniak, State Representative Mike Hanna and many mayors around the state.
To see a complete list of my endorsements go to www.rickvilello.com. They've endorsed me because they know how hard I've worked for the people of Lock Haven. They know that the skills that I've learned as mayor will serve me well in Washington.
I have been a lifelong resident of the 5th Congressional District, so I have a comprehensive understanding of the regions strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities. I believe that my educational, professional and community experiences have enabled me to be an effective United States Congressman on Day 1.
As a professor of statistics and economics at both the high school and college level, I understand the challenges facing our education system and importance of making sensible economic policy in order for our country to prosper. As a small business owner and financial planner, I understand the importance of lower taxes and government deregulation in order for businesses to compete in a global economy. Additionally, my involvement in numerous community and volunteer organizations gives me a broad perspective of the needs in our communities.
I have always had a love for the people and the heritage of our region and I believe I will provide the best leadership and vision moving forward.

Discussion in 'Carolina Glockers' started by Glockphobia, Oct 19, 2007.
just curious as to where everybody goes to throw lead. i myself ride up to indian creek in newberry.
I either shoot at the range at work in Greenwood County or at home.
I shoot my pistols at Shooter's Choice in West Columbia and my long guns at Indian Creek.
Been to those also. Indian creek can be crowded unless you go at dawn on a cold rainy day. Also you can go to the Andrew Jackson recreational range at ft jackson. Open every other saturday from 9:00 until about 1:00. Military id cost is $2.00 no id cost is $4.00. Includes targets, chair, bench rest staple gun, and spotting scope. If you don't have military id go in through the forest drive gate.
firepower in matthews every once in awhile, but mostly uhwarrie.
At Rockingham County Gun Club which is near Reidsville NC. Outdoors with 3 different pistol pits, rifle range, a skeet range and a Trap field. Very clean and nice place to escape to shoot whatever, whenever as long as there is still daylight. If its raining I sometimes go to Calibers in Gboro.
you need to start shooting the pistol matches there. 2008 should be the 3rd Sat. each month.
Same here for pistols...no rifles yet.
Where in Greenwood county? We are new to the area and I havent found a place in Greenwood. I did find a range in Abbeville county off of hwy 10 in Sumter National Forest.
The range in Greenwood countyis a private range.E-mail meand maybe we could get together and shoot sometime.
On my land, have 25yrd, 50yrd. working on building a 100yrd someday.
I shoot at twin ponds in Awendaw at the Francis Marion forest. It is a 100 yard rifle range but I bring my portable PVC target stand to shorten the range. It's free and only 15 mins away. Or I shoot at ATP in Ladson if I get some free passes from a friend or by giving blood.
I shoot at the DNR range in the Pickens/Easley area. Personally I love it, though I've never been to an indoor range. It's free, the guy who runs it doesn't take crap or irresponsible behavior from anyone there, which I appreciate, being a woman who's often there alone.
Outer Banks Gun Club in Manns Harbor. Can't beat it for $25.00 a year.
shot a couple this year and I'll be at more next year. I'm usually on one of my motorcycles if that rings a bell. I'm a new member to the club.

Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Morrison. All died at age 27. In 27, and all-new miniseries from Image Comics and Shadowline, a gifted rock musician fights to make it to his 28th birthday.
This four-issue series is written by Charles Soule (Strongman), drawn by the brilliant Renzo Podesta (Hard Drive, Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom), and features gorgeous covers by W. Scott Forbes (FORGETLESS). It will be published in the larger Golden Age format.
In 27, the "27 Club" admits only the most brilliant musicians and artists — and kills them dead in their 27th year. Will Garland is a famous rock guitarist, secretly unable to play for months due to a neurological disorder afflicting his left hand. He's also 27. With mad scientists, long dead rock legends and cosmic entities in his way, can he make it to 28?
27 #1 (of 4), a 32-page full-color comic book in the Golden Age format, will be in stores November 10, 2010.

They all did serious drugs, couldn't handle the fame, and/or offed themselves. Yeah, really great role models there.

Multi Theft Auto (MTA) is an open-source software project that adds full on-line gaming support to Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC game, in which this functionality is not originally found. It is the first open-source modification that adds a highly customizable network play element to a commercial closed-source single-player PC game. Developed as an experimental piece of software for earlier Grand Theft Auto series, Multi Theft Auto has become an advanced multiplayer platform for gamers and developers. Our software provides on-line gaming for dozens of players running user-generated gameplay content and scripts through a Lua virtual machine, and is freely distributed under the GPLv3 license.

InCeM - Research Training Network on Integrated Component Cycling in Epithelial Cell Motility
InCeM is an international PhD programme for highly motivated young scientists, offering early-stage researchers the opportunity to improve their research and entrepreneurial skills and enhance their career prospects. This Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network is funded by the European Community's Framework programme HORIZON 2020. InCeM provides an international and highly interdisciplinary framework of collaborators from academia and industry with core expertise in medicine, biology, biochemistry, image analysis, modelling and engineering.
InCeM's primary research focus of is cell migration, a fundamental biological process occurring throughout the human body at any point in life. It is essential for vital processes such as tissue formation and wound healing and drives tissue invasion during carcinogenesis. Understanding and controlling cell migration will have major clinical impact.
InCeM's scientific goals are as follows:
- to develop and apply state-of-the-art experimental techniques that can visualise morphological, biochemical and physical processes of cell motility at different time and length scales in parallel,
- to integrate experimental data in advanced multi-scale models to establish fact-based and data-driven concepts of cell migration, and
- to translate the resulting insights into approaches to deliberately tune motile behaviour in relation to disease.

Investors fled the yield sensitive REIT group last spring when then Fed chairman Ben Bernanke hinted the Fed might begin to wind down its quantitative easing program. However, 10-year bond yields have remained under 3 per cent recently. If yields stay well-behaved, REITs could benefit. Driven by strong insider characteristics, Morguard North American REIT makes our screens. It has a mostly sunny INK Edge outlook placing it in the top 30 per cent of stocks ranked. On April 22, CEO Rai Sahi and director Bruce Robertson bought 50,000 units each between $9.75 and $9.78.
Ted Dixon is CEO of INK Research which provides insider news and knowledge to investors. For more background on insider reporting in Canada, visit the FAQ section at www.inkresearch.com.

text: I have a problem with the default email client disappearing received emails. Just now, I saw two older mails in the inbox, then a few minutes later, a couple new spam messages arrived, and the others were gone! It appears that it clears the inbox whenever new mail arrives. This combined with the fact that it deletes the mail on the server (No option to disable this), makes for a big problem.. It may be that it only deletes mail that's been read already.. Not sure, need to test. Has anyone else noticed this, and found a way to prevent it?

Kayaks are the 4x4 of boats! Kayaks are fast, easy, small and personal boats that can handle most types of water surfaces like rivers, sea, whitewater and lakes.
A kayak can carry few things of yours and are ultralight to carry on car (around 20Kgs each). They come in many designs to suit explorative and adventurous even extreme sport. But for the most part, they're good to paddle (rowing) long distances of water surfaces and that we call Cross-country activity.
We use our Kayaks in our cross-country trips exploring rivers and desert lakes in Egypt. This fits just perfectly in our long list of Community-led activities in SaharaSafaris Club where many members have all the logistics they need to arrange for it.
To make cost effective, and rather than each buy her/his own kayak, we bought a small fleet to keep and rent them on cost for all members.
A 50% discount on all prices below is applied till end of July 2016. Damage deposit is paid on delivery and a copy of ID of recipient is left. Contacts to book is mentioned below.

SaharaSafaris has many leaders in many activities. This is a new one and so far we have no volunteering Leaders (our leaders always do it co-operatively meaning they cover the costs only without retaining money for profit and without paying for his gas nor rent). But we have small groups interested in organizing some for themselves and for others to come along. So check on the our SaharaSafaris Group on Facebook for such people and Leaders. Cross country requires skills of navigation and sometimes seamanship. Be safe!
We're currently equipping our Kayaks to be good for fishing. Serious fishermen, like with a feloka, goes in doubles, on a Kayak carrying their gear and boxes few hundreds of meters off the shore and for couple of hours. If you are one, then this is for you too
Find on this youtube video in English some of the differences between the two major types of Kayaks: Sit-on-top and Sit-inside Kayaks.
These are a bit new since 1970s that worked fine for warm regions and didn't need much training like the other classical types. This type however, has grown to be one of the most diversified. Fishermen make some of the customized to hold their gear and anchor them in the right places. Whitewater adventurers make belts to fix them on top and venture into touch waters. Cross-country fit it with boxes for their gear and camping gear to carry to other places.
They're quite new in the scene. Most 'packable' and mobile of all Kayaks since they can fit in a normal-sized bags and inflate to normal size Kayak at the beach. They also offer some of the good quality of sit-on-top except customization
The original Kayak that works better in cold weathers (where it originally was invented by Inuit people) but requires some training for balancing, re-mounting, and turning in and out of the water without having to dismount. This type is best suited for colder weathers and whitewater crossings.
Like hiking, those kind of trips are not exhausting but offer a surprisingly new veiw of the areas of the coasts of desert lakes or Nile and beyond that has never been seen or experienced before. SaharaSafaris will start with this sport of Kayaks and expand on it gradually using the great logistics of 4x4 owners taking it to many of the desert lakes. See how to tie-down the Kayaks below and how to rent above.
Fishermen are some of the most heavy customizers and users of Sit on top Kayaks. We in SaharaSafaris understand their needs are providing rentals to get on your car and travel to coasts like Sukhna, Ras Sidr, or the likes with your fishing gear and get them to the waters where fishing is the best.
Fishermen are grouped on both the Facebook Group but mostly on the SSC Fishing Club on Telegram.
Here are some videos on how to set up your Kayak for fishing:
Whitewater is where a river goes fast over obstacles and then falls in waterfalls of various heights. Kayaks are the only type of boats that could be used to tackle and overcome such spectacle obstacles. Few illustrations below captureing some of those extreme moments.
Our rigid but very light kayaks fit easily on a roofrack. All you need to do is to place it (length parallel to car's direction) on foam blocks (or thick carpets), strap it with elastic tie-downs from right to left with two straps and for each bow (front end) and stern (rear end) to tie them to the roofrack underneath them with another 4 tie-downs.
Always wear your floatation life-jacket PFD and insist that none goes without it.
Never go on a trip without leaving with someone trusted or your Club your exact locations and time to return.
Like any boat, kayaks could capsize (overturn) in waves, or by making mistakes of your balance. Be prepared with the right clothes and placing all your things in floating dry bags.
If water around you is not drinkable make sure you bring more than enough water to avoid drinking polluted water.
If crossing large distances, make sure you can go against the current by having enough time, enough energy with your paddling, and enough water. If you cannot, be prepared to go to beach at any spot with possibly a phone and a GPS to pin-point where to pick you up.
Here's an extract from what the manufacturer made as Warning:
