The plasma concentrations of albumin, HDL apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), retinol-binding protein (RBP), transthyretin (TTR), haptoglobulin, and fibrinogen were measured, and a stable isotope infusion protocol was used to determine the fractional and absolute synthesis rates of RBP, TTR, and fibrinogen in 12 young adults on three occasions during a reduction of their habitual protein intake from 1.13 to 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1 for 10 days. This study was performed to determine whether healthy adults could maintain the rates of synthesis of selected nutrient transport and positive acute-phase proteins when consuming a protein intake of 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1. During the lower protein intake, the plasma concentration of all the proteins, other than HDL-apoA1, remained unchanged. HDL-apoA1 concentration was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) after 3 days of the lower protein intake, but not at 10 days. The rates of synthesis of RBP and TTR declined significantly (P < 0.05), whereas the rate of synthesis of fibrinogen remained unchanged. The results indicate that, when normal adults consume the recommended safe level of protein, 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1, there is a slower rate of turnover of nutrient transport proteins than on their habitual diet. Hence, healthy individuals consuming this amount of protein may be less able to mount an adequate metabolic response to a stressful stimulus.
- protein requirements
- acute-phase proteins
- nutrient transport proteins
the average minimum requirement for dietary protein in normal adults is estimated as 0.6 g·kg−1·day−1, which will maintain body weight and nitrogen balance. The recommended safe level of intake was set at 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1 by the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization/United Nations University (FAO/WHO/UNU) to take into account the individual variability within a population (3). However, there is considerable ongoing debate about the adequacy of this recommended protein intake (11, 18). Because habitual protein intake is usually higher, it has been suggested that, although nitrogen balance may be achieved on these lower levels of protein intake, it may be at the expense of metabolic functional capacity (1, 16). We provided such evidence in a previous study of healthy adults consuming a protein intake of 0.6 g·kg−1·day−1 for 7 days (6). There were reductions in whole body protein turnover and the synthesis rates of several nutrient transport proteins, whereas there were simultaneous increases in the synthetic rates of some positive acute-phase proteins, indicative of a low-grade stress response (6). This finding suggested that, although a protein intake of 0.6 g·kg−1·day−1 may be sufficient to maintain nitrogen balance in a healthy adult, it is not sufficient to maintain the synthesis rates of proteins involved in the transportation of nutrients around the body.
More recently, we have shown that the recommended protein intake of 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1 can maintain nitrogen balance in normal adults. This was achieved, however, by a downregulation of whole body protein turnover, suggesting that even this so-called "safe level of protein intake" may not be adequate to maintain the synthesis of rapid-turnover proteins such as the hepatic secretory proteins (4). Thus we hypothesized that a protein intake of 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1 will not be sufficient to maintain adequate rates of synthesis of rapid-turnover nutrient transport proteins as part of the adaptative metabolic response from a habitual intake of ∼1 g·kg−1·day−1. This hypothesis was tested by measuring the response of six hepatic secretory proteins: four proteins that are directly involved in nutrient transport and that respond negatively during an acute-phase response, and two proteins that respond positively during an acute-phase response to stress. A stable isotope tracer method was used to measure the synthesis rates of three of these proteins in 12 young adults whose dietary protein intake was reduced from their habitual intake of ∼1.0 g·kg−1·day−1 to an intake of 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1. This study is part of a larger study designed to assess the responses of whole body protein kinetics, positive and negative acute-phase proteins, and cellular antioxidant capacity (5).
The study protocol was approved by the joint ethics committees of Southampton University Hospital National Health Service Trust and South West Hampshire Health Authority. Signed informed consent was obtained from each subject after the nature of the study had been explained. The studies were carried out in the metabolic ward of the Institute of Human Nutrition at Southampton General Hospital.
Twelve young adults (6 men and 6 women) were recruited for the study. They were in good health on the basis of a complete medical history and physical examination. Before the dietary intervention, the height, weight, and body composition (by bioelectrical impedance) of each subject were measured. The physical characteristics of the subjects are shown in Table 1.
Study design.
Subjects underwent a 7-h stable isotope infusion while in the fasted state on three occasions: at baseline while consuming their habitual diet and on days 3 and 10 while consuming a diet which provided 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1 of protein. The habitual protein intake of each subject was determined from 5-day weighed-diet records. For 2 days before the first (baseline) isotope infusion, the subjects consumed a diet based on their habitual intakes of protein and energy. This was followed by 10 days of a diet that provided the same amount of energy but a lower protein intake of 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1. Throughout the intervention, diets were supplied as ready-made meals and food portions (Marks and Spencer, Southampton, UK). The energy contents of both diets were similar, and the amount of food offered to the subjects was assessed on the basis of their resting energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry (Gas Exchange Measurement System; Europa Scientific, Crewe, UK) multiplied by a factor of 1.5 to account for physical activity. The dietary energy and protein intakes of the subjects are summarized in Table 1.
Isotope infusion protocol.
The rates of synthesis of three hepatic secretory proteins, retinol-binding protein (RBP), transthyretin (TTR), and fibrinogen, were measured from the rates of incorporation of [13C2]glycine into the proteins by use of plasma very low density lipoprotein apolipoprotein B-100 (VLDL-apoB-100) isotopic enrichment at plateau to represent that of the glycine precursor pool from which the liver synthesized the other plasma proteins.
A sterile solution of [13C2]glycine (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Woburn, MA) was prepared in 9 g/l NaCl by the pharmacy at Southampton General Hospital and confirmed to be sterile and pyrogen free before use. After a 12-h overnight fast, the subjects arrived at the metabolic unit of the Southampton General Hospital and underwent a 7-h isotope infusion protocol. Intravenous catheters were inserted into superficial veins of both arms, one for continuous infusion of the tracer solution and the other for repeated blood sampling. A sample of blood (10 ml) was drawn before the start of the infusion. A priming dose of [13C2]glycine (20 μmol/kg) was then injected and was immediately followed by a continuous infusion of [13C2]glycine (15 μmol·kg−1·h−1) for 7 h. Additional 5-ml blood samples were taken hourly from 3 to 7 h.
Sample analyses.
Blood was drawn into prechilled tubes containing Na2EDTA and a cocktail of sodium azide, merthiolate, and soybean trypsin inhibitor. The blood was immediately centrifuged at 4°C, and the plasma was removed and stored at −70°C for later analysis.
Plasma concentrations of albumin, fibrinogen, haptoglobulin, HDL-apoA1, RBP, and TTR were measured by radial immunodiffusion using NL RID kits (The Binding Site, San Diego, CA). VLDL was separated by ultracentrifugation and apoB-100 precipitated with isopropanol, as previously described (6, 7). Fibrinogen was extracted as fibrin clots by thrombin precipitation (7).
RBP and TTR were isolated from plasma by sequential immunoprecipitation with anti-human RBP and TTR (Behring, Somerville, NJ), as previously described (14). The immunoprecipitates were separated by SDS-gel electrophoresis. After staining with Coomassie brilliant blue dye, the bands corresponding to the protein standards were cut out and washed several times. The gel bands, apoB-100 precipitates, and fibrin clots were then hydrolyzed in 6 mol/l HCl at 110°C for 12 h. The amino acids released from hydrolysis of the proteins were purified by ion-exchange chromatography (AG50W-X8 resin, 100–200 mesh, hydrogen form; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA).
RBP, TTR, and apoB-100-derived amino acids were converted to the N-propyl ester heptafluorobutyramide derivatives, and the isotopic enrichment of glycine was determined by negative chemical ionization gas chromatography-mass spectrometry on an HP 6890 gas chromatograph coupled to an HP 5973 quadrapole mass spectrometer (Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto, CA). The glycine isotope ratio was determined by monitoring ions at mass-to-charge ratios of 293 to 295. The amino acids released from the fibrin clot were converted to the N-acetyl, N-propyl ester derivatives, and the isotopic enrichment of glycine was determined by gas chromatography-combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (ThermoQuest Finnigan Deltaplus XL) by monitoring ions at mass-to-charge ratios of 44 and 45.
Calculations and statistics.
The fractional synthesis rates (FSR) of RBP, TTR and fibrinogen were calculated, assuming a precursor-product relationship, using the equation: where Et7 − Et5 is the increase in the isotopic enrichment of glycine bound in RBP, TTR, and fibrinogen from 5 to 7 h (t7 − t5) of the infusion, and Epl is the isotopic enrichment of glycine bound in VLDL-apoB-100 in plasma at plateau levels of enrichment. In this calculation, the plasma enrichment of VLDL-apoB-100-bound glycine in plasma is assumed to represent the isotopic enrichment of the intrahepatic glycine pool from which all hepatic secretory proteins are synthesized.
The intravascular absolute synthesis rate (ASR) for each protein was estimated as the product of the FSR and the intravascular mass of the protein: intravascular ASR (mg·kg−1·day−1) = intravascular protein mass × FSR, where the intravascular mass of a protein is the product of the plasma volume and the plasma concentration of the protein. The plasma volume of each subject was calculated on the basis of the ideal body weights of the subjects (10) by use of the equation: plasma volume (liters) = (ideal weight × 0.045) + (excess weight × 0.01), where excess weight is the difference between the actual weight and the ideal weight of the subject.
The data are expressed as means ± SE for each group. Differences between baseline and days 3 and 10 of the low protein intake were assessed by ANOVA. A probability of 5% (P < 0.05) was taken to represent statistical significance.
All the subjects were within the normal range of ideal body weight and body mass index (Table 1). The subjects had a mean habitual consumption for energy of 155 ± 5 kJ·kg−1·day−1 and for protein of 1.13 g·kg−1·day−1.
The plasma concentrations of three of the four negative acute-phase proteins, albumin, RBP, and TTR, did not change from baseline after the lower-protein diet had been consumed for 3 or 10 days (Table 2 and Fig. 1). The concentration of HDL-apoA1, however, was significantly lower (P < 0.05) on day 3 but by day 10 had recovered to a value that was not different from baseline. Compared with rates at baseline, both the FSR and ASR of TTR were significantly slower after 3 and 10 days of the dietary intervention (Fig. 1). Similarly, both the FSR and ASR of RBP were significantly slower after 10 days of the dietary intervention.
There were no changes in the plasma concentrations of fibrinogen or haptoglobin in response to the dietary intervention (Table 1) nor in the FSR or ASR of fibrinogen (Fig. 1).
This study was performed to determine the changes in amino acid and protein metabolism when normal adult humans consume the safe level of dietary protein, 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1, recommended by FAO/WHO/UNU (3). Previously, we have reported that nitrogen balance is reestablished after this lower protein diet is consumed for 3–4 days (4). Here, we were interested to determine the extent to which it was possible to maintain the plasma concentrations and the rate of synthesis of hepatic secretory proteins. The data show that the consumption of 0.75 g protein·kg−1·day−1 led to changes in both the plasma concentration and rates of synthesis of some proteins. These effects were, however, selective and different for different secretory proteins. For three of the four nutrient transport proteins, albumin, TTR, and RBP, the plasma concentrations were not different after 3 or 10 days of consumption of the lower-protein diet. However, there was a significant fall in the rate of synthesis, by day 3 for TTR and by day 10 for RBP. The plasma concentration of HDL-apoA1 was lower by day 3. However, by day 10 of the dietary intervention, the plasma concentration of HDL-apoA1 was not different from the baseline value. There were no identifiable changes in the plasma concentrations of haptoglobin and fibrinogen, and the synthesis rate of fibrinogen appeared unchanged. These results suggest that, despite the maintenance of the plasma concentration or pool size of most hepatic secretory proteins during adaptation to this lower intake of dietary protein, there may be important, but less obvious, changes in their rates of synthesis.
The pool size of a plasma protein is a reflection of the balance between its rate of synthesis and catabolism and its partitioning between the intravascular and extravascular compartments. It has long been known that, on lower-protein diets, there is a tendency for the intravascular albumin pool to be maintained at the cost of the extravascular pool. Less clear is the extent to which this may apply to other plasma proteins. To maintain the plasma pools of RBP and TTR during consumption of 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1 of protein over a period of 10 days, any reduction in their rates of synthesis would have to be matched by equal reductions in their rates of catabolism. Our data suggest that the plasma pool sizes of RBP and TTR were maintained due to the downregulation of the rates of both synthesis and catabolism as an intrinsic part of the adaptative response to the lower protein intake. The reduction in the rates of synthesis and degradation of RBP and TTR are similar to the responses in whole body protein kinetics for these same subjects while they consumed 0.75 g protein·kg−1·day−1 (4).
It is important to note that the changes in the plasma concentration of HDL-apoA1 appeared transient, with a reduced concentration at 3 days, which was not different from the baseline concentration after 10 days of consumption of the lower-protein diet. There are two points of interest. First, there is a clear indication of a time course in the response. This was identified because the study at day 3 coincided with a lower plasma concentration. Without daily measurements of the concentration of other plasma proteins, we cannot know whether similar patterns of change occurred but with a different time course so that they were not identified in the present study.
Second, the observation that the plasma concentration of HDL-apoA1 returned to the baseline value after 10 days on the diet implies that this was the preferred concentration and that the value on day 3 was lowered as a part of the adaptive response. The lower plasma concentration of HDL-apoA1 during the early phase of the dietary intervention may indicate that lipid and cholesterol transport was modified during adaptation to the lower protein intake. For RBP and TTR, a similar plasma concentration was maintained throughout the study period, suggesting that this is the preferred state. It needs to be determined whether a change in synthesis and turnover of these two proteins exerts any effect on the delivery of nutrients to tissues and thereby carries functional consequence for cells or tissues.
The combination of the present results with those of earlier reports shows that, when healthy individuals decrease their protein consumption from habitual, ∼1.1 g·kg−1·day−1 down to 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1, there is a series of metabolic responses. These responses include the downregulation of whole body protein turnover (4), a decrease in the rate of glutathione synthesis and cellular antioxidant protection (5), and a downregulation in the synthesis of individual nutrient transport proteins. These changes indicate a selective sacrifice of function and imply a limitation on the ability of healthy individuals to maintain important metabolic functions. The question that remains unanswered is whether this state is less than optimal and whether, for example, the reduction in the rate of synthesis of specific nutrient transport proteins in any way compromises tissue function. Although this loss of capacity may not always express itself as a change in metabolic behavior, the concern would be that there has been a loss of reserve capacity. The cost of this loss of reserve capacity would be expected to manifest itself in situations where the individual is challenged by a stressful situation or stimulus. These findings would, therefore, support the arguments put forward by Young et al. (19) that a diet that provides 0.75 g protein·kg−1·day−1 in normal adults may not be adequate to mount and maintain a successful host metabolic response to stress.
In a previous study, Jackson et al. (6) reported faster rates of synthesis of two positive acute-phase proteins in healthy subjects who had consumed a diet that provided 0.6 g protein·kg−1·day−1 for 7 days. This response was associated with higher plasma concentrations of IL-6, suggesting that consumption of the average minimum requirement for protein intake had elicited an "acute-phase response" in these otherwise healthy subjects. In the present study, there was no change in the concentration of haptoglobin and fibrinogen or in the synthesis of fibrinogen. This suggested that the response of haptoglobin and fibrinogen had not been elicited at a higher protein intake that provided an increase of 0.15 g protein·kg−1·day−1. These findings suggest that, although a dietary protein intake of 0.75 g.kg−1.day−1 may not be sufficient to maintain synthesis of all nutrient transport proteins in healthy adults, it is sufficient to prevent a stress-like acute-phase response.
In conclusion, our present study shows that, for normal adults consuming the safe level of protein intake, 0.75 g·kg−1·day−1, as recommended by FAO/WHO/UNU (3), adaptive metabolic responses are brought into play. It was not possible to maintain the rate of synthesis of important nutrient transport proteins. As a result, the metabolic capacity to cope with stress may be impaired in healthy adults consuming this amount of protein. There is a need for additional studies to be conducted to determine cellular and tissue effects of these changes in nutrient transport proteins and the minimum level of protein intake that will maintain the metabolic capacity at an acceptable level in otherwise healthy individuals.

Real estate agency Centaline (Macau) Property Agency Ltd expects the city's commercial property market to see more active
transactions this year given the more relaxed market sentiment.
'We expect commercial units will see a rebound in 2017,' the realtor notes in its latest review and outlook for the local property market. ' Many companies carried out a quite conservative annual budget plan last year due to a low market sentiment […] but since the arrival of 2017, the stabilisation of gaming revenue and the market atmosphere getting less tense, many merchants will start [re-]planning their development directions for this year.'
Among the segments, the agency believes office units will first see recovery followed by street shops.
For 2016, Centaline estimates total transactions of office units have reached a record-breaking low of 176 cases, although a price increase of up to 6 per cent quarter-to-quarter was seen for those located in NAPE and Nam Van from the fourth quarter of last year.
In addition, the agency noted that rents for office units have started to grow since last quarter, jumping by between 5 per cent and 15 per cent quarter-to-quarter despite a lower annual average compared to 2015.
Meanwhile, total number of street shop transactions remained at a rather low level for 2016, the agency said, estimating the total number has reduced by 16 per cent year-on-year to some 550 cases.
In addition, total transacted capital values for these shops only amounted to some HK$5 billion, which is halved from over HK$10 billion in the past years, Centaline said.
But the agency notes that sales and purchases for shops located in local neighbourhood areas remained stable last year, of which capital values even increased around 6 per cent to 10 per cent year-on-year, while only a single-digit number of transactions was recorded for shops located in tourism areas during the second half of 2016.
Nevertheless, rents for street shops are also apparent for a rebound, the agency said.
According to the company, shop rents for those in tourist districts recorded a quarter-to-quarter increase of between 20 and 30 per cent during the fourth quarter.
On the other hand, in terms of industrial property units, the company expects total transaction may have only reached some 69 cases for the whole year of 2016, which is a decrease of 7 per cent.
The agency forecast the industry segment not likely to see a turnaround in transactions in short term due to the lack of stimulus, saying it is better leasing than selling such units for the time being.

Registration of Agreements
Development Agreements or 'Agreements to Sell' can be registered with the appropriate authorities of the State Government under the Registration Act, 1908. (Read: Documents to be registered under Registration Act). Benefit of entry into Book-1 maintained at the Registrar's office can be availed. Such entry will ensure that there is a public notice of these documents and their contents. Encumbrance certificates, if any, can be obtained on the immovable property as there will be entries recording the execution of these documents.
General Power of Attorney (GPA) given by the owner to the developer can also be registered and there will be a public notice on the GPAs. The total cost of stamp duty and registration fee payable on these documents will depend on the kind of powers given to the PA holder to deal with the property concerned. It should also be noted that the stamp duty payable on a Development Agreement is very high in case it is observed that sweeping powers are given to the developer to deal with the property under the guise of Development Agreement.
Any disputes arising between the developer and individual/company/Government are covered by the Indian Contract Act which is a Central Act and is applicable throughout India.
It has to be borne in mind that Banks and Housing Finance companies normally decline to finance houses bought by individuals in buildings developed under developmental rights and on land held by PA holders till the time the owners have been fully paid off. Similarly, developers will find it hard to obtain bank finance for their projects to be executed on land covered by such Development Agreements.

Unanswered: Apparent glitch in 2005 Management Studio
Found some bad behavior in the 2005 Management Studio Import and Export Wizard.
In the Select Source Tables and Views box, I selected multiple objects, and then clicked Edit Mappings.
The Transfer Settings dialog box appears, and states: "Define the settings that can be applied to all selected table transfers."
I selected the "Delete rows in existing destination tables" option to overwrite the existing data. But Management Studio DID NOT DELETE THE ROWS IN THE EXISTING TABLES. Instead, the records were appended to existing data, wreaking havoc on our month-end accounting system.
This happened multiple times, and occured even though the final screen confirmed that existing records would be deleted in each of the individual tables.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

don't you know to wait for the first service pack on MS products? oh wait sp 1 is already out.If one brings so much courage to this world the world has to kill them or break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Earnest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms.

I was about to write a one star review until… - another user posted where to find the photos (thank you!!). I had thought there were deleted like some other reviews said. If you can't find your photos click the drawer under the GET button in the app! So easy! This is by far the best wallpaper application out there. Beautiful photos (that they made a little hard to find without understanding that that button is a "drawer") but my favorite app ever. Never crashes, easy to use and add new wallpaper instantly. And now that I know where my photos are I am once again a super happy camper and love these developers!
What? Where - Loved the app…I had downloaded a lot of wallpaper. Then I did the most recent update (1.4). When I went in and picked off 5 more photos, I found that I no longer have any content whatsoever in my HD Wallpaper folder. Gone. All of them. Blown out, apparently by the update. Highly unhappy with this.
More Reviews for Current Version
Do NOT upgrade to 1.4 - I never, repeat, never write a recesion on anything but right now I am so angry I must do it. After upgrading to 1.4 the picture preview functionality is GONE, I thought there would be a problem with my installation, surfed the forums and got it from other users, no is not a bug, it is how it works from 1.4 on. I guess this is a trick to make you purchase the full version, so the news are: Im not gonna do that, next thing after finishing this text: uninstall the app.
Beautiful Pictures! - I like how there's a daily limit (it keeps me from procrastinating lol). I come back every once in a while to see recent backgrounds and get the highest resolution I can get. There's always at least one thing I like, and I only use it every few days. It's perfect rather than using Goodle to find something! There's a folder icon underneath the "Get" button that'll let me drag the wallpaper to somewhere I can find it! Someday I'll have a retina macbook and be able to see the fullness of these pictures! However, there's a few things that bug me. One is that the search feature is broken. Like I'll search one thing and it may only show one picture. When I try to search for something else, it always brings up the first picture it showed me from my first search. It's like it's stuck on that one search. The "random" function doesn't seem to be random at all, it's almost like the most recent. I would recommend having a "most popular" button even for the different categories. Overall I love it! :) It's great if you like something new and unpredictable! or you just want something pretty but not sure what you're looking for.
Gone, Gone - I had this app for so long and I loved it. Got this new update and ALL my pictures are gone. GONE.
Accessing the Library for Mountain Lion Users. - Please note to access the Library to get to WallpapersHDlite using Mountain Lion, You need to go into "Finder" Then "Go," and while still on "Go," hold down your "option" key. You will see the "Library" tab pop up under the "Home" tab. Click on the Libary key while still holding the "option" key. I got this info from an Apple Rep. Thanks all for the good info regarding WallpapersHDlite.
All previous saved wallpapers were deleted - Decided to update the app and aftewards, all the wallpapers I had uploaded disappeared.

Investigating Acceleration in Reading
We have clearly seen that acceleration makes a huge difference in the engagement of the students who have been through the process of acceleration. These students appeared much more confident during the whole learning process.
I wonder if acceleration works in the same way in a normal lesson (like something not engaging like a crime scene!). Will we see the engagement and confidence in the same way in a more boring activity?
Watch this space.

Maths PD Staff Meeting Workshop
When was the last time you felt nervous about something you had to do? Was it an observation? Was it a tricky conversation to have with a parent? Or a colleague? How do you overcome it? What are your most effective strategies?
There is no better feeling than overcoming that mountain; focusing all of your attention on something, to visualise it, to breathe it in... and then to smash it home.

Individualised Learner Profiles
I can't help but think about next year... I love this time of year when you celebrate all of the amazing things you have achieved with your students. But then you think of all the incredible possibilities that you could do better next year...
So one of the things I'm thinking about is asking my students to create a profile about how they best like to receive feedback. And when I say feedback, I mean feedback and feedforward in their learning, attitude and behaviour. How might this look? An email? A wink of the eye? A private conversation? A public praising? Written feedback from a peer?
As a teacher, you learn about these as you go... but I do wonder how this might influence the culture of your class if we knew it at the get-go?
Happy report writing :)

The twins find this task hillarious.
Tracey breaks down in tears in the caravan because she says she is not able to do the task, she then is reasured by Carol and Kara that she can do it, I would have told her to "deal with it".
Carol is reading a message from Big brother telling them that there is no ban on her doing the house chores and started bossing everyone around and gave them all chores
Brian tells Tracey what Liam had told him and that was that Evicted Gerry told a few of the housemates that she cannot be trusted to which she replied "sketchy" and was not bothered. She later tells Big brother that she is not bothered about what he had said.
Amanda, Sam, Kara and Tracey are practising with the task.
Jonty takes control of teaching the boys Ziggy, Liam and Brian
As part of this weeks task the housemates must also take dance lessons, The girls were all asked to choose a partner, The twins picked Liam, Kara picked Ziggy, Carol picked Jonty and Tracey was left with Brian..
The show finished off with Amanda being called to the diary room because she has broken 12 microphones and was punished by having to speak in a loud speaker when ever she wants to talk as a punishment.

Racino bill shrinks, helps Vikings
ST. PAUL -- Proposals to add slot machines at Minnesota's two horse-racing tracks changed Thursday to allow slots at just one track and sending 40 percent of the state's profits to a Vikings football stadium.
There was no indication the changes would change opposition that has prevented the so-called racino proposal from advancing for years.
Dick Day, a former senator and now racino lobbyist, said the proposal would generate $101 million a year for state education, agriculture and other programs, with more than $40 million available for sports facilities such as a Vikings' stadium.
Day's announcement came Thursday, the same day a House committee defeated an attempt to amend another bill to include racino. The proposal is stalled in both legislative chambers, but Day said the new plan is ready to be offered as an amendment when the right bill comes along.
Day said the new plan should make northern American Indian tribes happy after they complained that Running Aces harness track, in the northern Twin Cities, would attract gamblers away from them. He said Canterbury Park, in the southwest Twin Cities, would not compete with southern Minnesota casinos other than nearby Mystic Lake.
Rep. Al Juhnke, DFL-Willmar, said funds from the state-authorized racino could fully fund a Vikings stadium, which is projected to cost nearly $900 million.
"If the Legislature wants to create jobs and save the Vikings, this is the way to do it," Juhnke said.
There are no bills authorizing a Vikings stadium, but team officials say they expect something to pass this year. However, Gov. Tim Pawlenty has said he will not sign any bill using taxes to fund a stadium and legislative leaders say they have higher priorities, given a budget deficit.
'Slow redesign'
Some state lawmakers want the Human Services Department to slow down its efforts to redesign some mental health and dental programs, citing the loss of jobs and the need for patients to travel miles further for help.
State facilities in Willmar and Eveleth would be among those affected, lawmakers from those areas said.
"We had no forewarning," Rep. Tom Rukavina, DFL-Virginia, said about a plan to shut down the Eveleth community transition mental health facility. "They are ready to lose the Eveleth facility on May 1."
While state law authorizes two treatment centers to reduce use of two facilities, those in Willmar and Eveleth are not included, Democratic lawmakers said.
"The Community-Based Health Hospital in Willmar is on the list to be converted to a psychiatric extensive recovery treatment service facility," said Rep. Al Juhnke, DFL-Willmar. "Bottom line, this change could cost the facility as many as 19 full-time jobs. The state Legislature needs to have a say in how these decisions are made."
Lawmakers said the Pawlenty administration's plan to shrink treatment centers, including dental clinics for the poor, may be needed but care needs to be taken in making sure patients have options when the state services end.
"We have no idea where they are going to go..." Rukavina said of patients. "This is frightening."
DNA notice sought
A Minnesota lawmaker wants patients to be told if a doctor plans to administer a human DNA-based vaccination.
Rep. Laura Brod, R-New Prague, said studies suggest than stem-cell-based vaccines may be linked to rising autism levels.
"The science suggests that transferring a vaccine with foreign human DNA into a child or adult could have unforeseen consequences, and because of this, patients should be aware if they're being injected with a product containing aborted fetal DNA and cellular debris," Brod said.
Brod has introduced a bill to require any DNA-based vaccine to be labeled as "derived from or manufactured using electively aborted human fetal or embryonic tissue."

In the 1850s a small farming community developed in an area known as Lemon City. But Lemon City is a city in name only. So-called for its many lemon groves, this small town is still home to lemon trees in the backyards of residents who live there.
Today, Lemon City is known as a creative residential and commercial district nestled in Miami's Little River and Little Haiti districts. Mid-century industrial buildings that are ripe for adaptive reuse characterize the area. Like Wynwood, the neighborhood is attracting artsy and creative classes seeking affordable space in the Greater Downtown Miami area.
Little Haiti is part of the Lemon City area, which is also home to Lemon City Park and Lemon City Library. Before urbanization became a Miami reality, the town even had its own railway depot on the Florida East Coast Railway.
Over time, Lemon City morphed from an agricultural to a residential community. Part of the shift happened as Miami posted strong growth to the south and looked for ways to expand its land holdings. Miami annexed Lemon City in 1925, along with the town of Little River to the north and Buena Vista to the South. However, many Miami residents and visitors still call Lemon City by its original name.

How To Download File on iPhone using aDownloader
This is one of the frequently-asked questions from iPhone users:
How can I download file from websites and save it on iPhone?
The built-in mobile Safari does not allow you to download all types of files. File download is only limited to Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF files. And, it just lets you view the file via the built-in viewer. You can't download and save the file into the internal file system of iPhone.
An iPhone developer, Emanuel, answered the above question by developing a cydia app called aDownloader. aDownloader is a great download manager available for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. The download manager lets you download any types of files from any websites via EDGE, 3G or WiFi network.
It supports over 40 types of files including: PDF, Word(doc and docx), Excel(xls, xlsx), Power Point(ppt, pptx), Audio files (mp3, m4a, wav), video(mpeg, 3gp, mov, youtube), Image files (jpg, png, gif, bmp), text files (txt, html, xml), RAR and Zip archives (including multipart, password protected).
With aDownload, it keeps the saved file in your iPhone. You can re-open it anytime. You are also allowed to create folders, cut, copy, delete, and move around files.
Like other download managers on desktop, aDownloader offers simultaneous download feature. At any time during the download process, you can pause the download and resume it later. If you encounter any connection failure, you can resume always resume the download at the point of the interruption.
aDownloader also comes with a sharing feature. By enabling the feature, your iPhone is easily turned into a thumb drive. You can then transfer the file back to your computer over WiFi.
It's a cool application. Best of all, aDownloader is available for free via cydia. Needless to say, you need to have a jailbroken iPhone to enjoy the app.
If you're interested in the app, here is the detailed procedures about how you can use it.
How to Install and Use aDownloader to Download File on iPhone
1. First, launch cydia and search for "aDownloader". Install it once you locate it.
2. After installation, launch the app by tapping the aDownloader icon.
3. Once it's launched up, you will find a familiar browser-based interface. aDownloader is actually a browser with additional feature for you to download files. Say, you are visiting www.download.com and find a file to download. Simply tap on the download link and aDownloader will then start the download process.
4. You can always view the download status through "Downloads" tab. When the file download completes, you can then access the file in the "Documents" tab.
Sometimes, you may want to transfer the files from iPhone to computer. aDownloader also comes with a Sharing feature that lets you share the file over WiFi. Simply enable the "Sharing" feature in Settings and you can access the file from your computer via browser.
What do you think about aDownloader? As always, leave us comment and share your thought.
