Where to stay in The Hamptons
Capri, Southampton
The rebirth of old roadside motels (architecturally undistinguished one- or two-storey buildings, often with rooms arranged around a pool) as boutique hotels is a recent phenomenon in the Hamptons. They are usually quite simple, less about luxury than having a good time, and the Capri is no exception. The rooms are petite, fresh and beachy, with all-white beds and kaleidoscopic murals by the fashion designer Cynthia Rowley (who also has a small boutique at the hotel). Despite its sophisticated Nobu restaurant, the Capri feels like a party place: the music plays until 1am and the walls are thin, so if you want to stay here, it's probably best to join in. 281 County Road 39A, Route 27, Southampton (00 1 631 504 6575; www.caprisouthampton.com). Doubles from $228
c/o The Maidstone, East Hampton
Jenny Ljungberg, of the Swedish hotel company Care of Hotels, gave this historic Maidstone inn a show-stopping makeover a few years ago. The decor (electric-blue walls, mid-century Swedish chairs, American Empire sofas upholstered in multicoloured Josef Frank fabrics) is invigorating, but it also feels relaxed and lived-in. There are vintage-style Kronan bicycles and fully loaded iPods for guests' use, yoga classes in the garden, interesting artwork and books strewn about, and a great restaurant. Each of the 19 rooms is named after a famous Scandinavian and they are all supremely comfortable, with Hästens beds, Malin+Goetz toiletries and hand-painted clogs to wear in the garden. 207 Main Street, East Hampton (00 1 631 324 5006; www.careofhotels.com/maidstone). Doubles from $545
The American Hotel, Sag Harbor
This place is an institution in Sag Harbor, perhaps the least flashy (but still posh) of the Hamptons villages. Set in a 19th-century brick building on Main Street, the hotel is high Victorian style at its best, with dark wood, Tiffany lamps, nautical paintings and imposing furniture. Rooms have brass bedsteads, tea-rose wallpaper, Empire bureaus and portraits of George Washington. All in all, it's traditional and very American, and if you get in the spirit, good fun. For a taste of Sag society, book a table for Sunday brunch at the restaurant and soak up the scene: everyone knows everyone and gossips over Bloody Marys. 49 Main Street, Sag Harbor (00 1 631 725 3535; www.theamericanhotel.com). Doubles from $188

text: When I bought my Smart from a local garage, they applied for the car to be registered in my name. Having waited 5 weeks for the V5 I called the DVLA. They informed me that they had not received the said document and as I had the Green part of the original V5, send it off with a V62(?) and they will issue the document to me. That was 6 weeks ago! I rang them today as I had not received the document only to be told that as I had applied via a V62(?), they had to contact the previous owner and ask if they sold the vehicle and who to. They then issue the V5 if all is well. As a footnote, the chap said that if they did not receive a reply to their enquiry then they would still issue the form!! Makes one wonder!!!

Adding Objects Into a Scene
Go file>append and choose your blend file, you'll see a bunch of different categories you can go into. Most of the time you'll want to go into object, because everything in there will bring in the actual object, all the other categories will bring in data/properties for that particular thing. So if you add something from the Lamp category, it won't add anything to your scene but it will add those particular lamp settings. So if you create a lamp you can go into its properties and choose that data/preset from the menu:
Linking works differently, it will add whatever you chose into your scene but it won't let you edit it. Instead it will strictly keep the data from the original file. This is really useful because you can have an object or character in a bunch of different scenes, and if you want to update it you can just update the original file, which will then update it in every file that it's linked in. For some things like characters though, you obviously want to be able to edit it to a point so you can actually animate it. I'll use my minecraft rig as an example. Go to file>link and find the blend file. Then go into group (because the whole character is made of multiple objects and an armature, I grouped it) and select Minecraft. The entire thing acts as 1 entity and you can't edit the pose, so you need to create a proxy for the armature. Select it, and press ctrl+alt+p, then select Minecraft_Rig.
This will create another object for the armature, which you can go into pose mode with and actually move the character. If you want to have multiple characters, make several copies of the blend file and link them all individually into your scene.
Also, there's some things you can do to make his interface a bit nicer. Firstly, go into the sidebar and under Display enable textured solid. If it appears all blurry, press ctrl+alt+u, go to the System tab, and disable Mipmaps. To get rid of the floating dotted lines disable Relationship lines under Display. Finally to remove the giant cross under his feet, select the object (not the armature) and go into the object data in the properties window (propeller icon). Turn the Size: property down as low as it can go.
Also also, sometimes all the layer buttons and sliders in the sidebar might disappear. To fix that you need to re-import the script into the scene, because blender randomly removed it for no reason. Go to file>append (or link, doesn't matter) and find the character's blend file. Then go into the Text category and add Minecraft_Rig.py. Go into the text editor window, choose that script from the menu and then hit run script. If you have multiple characters the script actually might not play nicely for all of them.. So if it doesn't you can try adding more code to the script yourself (you just have to copy and paste the entire thing and then change some of the values, for each character) or just send me a message and I'll figure out a system eventually
Hope this helps.

What's complicated? All you have to do is select everything, hit ctrl+alt+p, select Minecraft_Rig and then just go into pose mode with that. You can then move him.Delete

I've baked an explosion in blender and want to add it in diffrent scenes, but when I link or append the objects the explosion doesn't occur. Also, is there a way to delay when a baked simlation plays?ReplyDeleteReplies
Well the bake relies on where the cache is located, so your directories might get messed up when when you append. I'm not too sure about delaying a simulation, usually you do that before you bake by putting in the frame number that you want the simulation to start on. Maybe there's some other way though.Delete
Great tutorial! Um, could you make a video on all of your tutorials to make it easier?ReplyDelete

Thanks for the tutorial. However, I'm having trouble texturing the imported object to make it look like the same as the rig in minecraft_rigV2.blend file. How is that done?ReplyDelete
Is it possible to have to Rigs in one scene so i can animate more than one character at a time?ReplyDelete
When I put the steve rig into a scene, he's light colored instead of the normal colourReplyDelete
People having problems with textures: it just appears white in the viewport, turn on Textured Solid in the sidebar to see the textures.ReplyDelete
If you don't see the rig options import the script (under 'Text' category) and run it. Make sure the armature is named Minecraft_Rig.
To have multiple rigs in one scene just save 2 copies of the rig and import them both. You might have to alter the name of the rig and the name in the script so that they're separate from the original.
Hope that makes sense, sorry if I don't respond sometimes.
Dont know if u still respond to these, but if u do could u mb make a more nooby way of telling me how to do this (walkthrough mb a video) im kinda stuck with my animation. In advance ty for all the help with the toturials rigs and videos...ReplyDeleteReplies

Kent State Golden Flashes vs. Miami (Ohio) RedHawks - 3/4/14
Miami (Ohio) RedHawks (11-16) at Kent State Golden Flashes (16-13)
College Basketball: Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at 7:00 pm (Memorial Athletic Center)
The Line: Kent State Golden Flashes -6 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Kent State Golden Flashes will host the Miami of Ohio RedHawks Tuesday night. These teams met back in mid-February, and Kent State won 75-63.
The RedHawks haven't had much success lately, losing six of their last eight games. During their last five matchups, they're averaging 59 points on 40 percent shooting and are allowing 66.8 points on 45.2 percent shooting. The offense has scored 65 or fewer points in their last six games. They're also one of the worst rebounding teams in the country, averaging 31.1 boards on the season and just 25.6 boards in their last five games. On the road, they average 61.5 points and allow 70.1 points. They are 14-11 ATS overall and 8-6 ATS on the road.
The Flashes have won four of their last six games and are returning from a two-game road trip. During this stretch, their offense has improved drastically, as they're averaging 73.6 points on 48.1 percent shooting and are allowing 70 points on 42.7 percent shooting. Their shooting percentage as of late is a huge improvement from their 43.3 percent shooting they average on the season. At home they average 70.6 points and allow 68.4 points. They are 12-14 ATS overall and 4-10 ATS on their home court.
The Golden Flashes have been anything but money at home, but they've been playing much better basketball as of late and should be about to cover the number against a RedHawks squad that can't score. After all, the RedHawks are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 meetings that have taken place in Kent State.
Neither team has been great against the spread, but Kent State has won the last three meetings by double digits. I see no reason why that trend can't continue.
Take the Golden Flashes.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European lawmakers are likely to shy away from demanding strict bonus curbs on fund managers, a leading lawmaker said on Tuesday, as doubts grow about replicating planned caps on bankers' pay.
The move to cap bank bonuses bolstered the legislature's standing among European citizens who blamed a bonus-driven banking culture for the reckless risk-taking that ultimately triggered the global financial crisis.
Earlier this year, a parliamentary panel called for tighter control of fund manager pay too, but on the eve of a vote in Strasbourg to decide the full European Parliament's position, support has dwindled for clamping down on a group viewed more favorably than bankers.
Unlike banks, fund managers are not blamed for the financial crisis. Their role as guardian of pension funds is seen as posing little threat to financial stability.
"A majority in the parliament could be in favor of (removing proposals for) both a cap on pay and performance fees for fund managers," said lawmaker Sharon Bowles, referring to ebbing support for such strict limits in new EU legislation.
Bowles, who chairs the parliament's influential economic and monetary affairs committee, told Reuters that there was also little chance of winning support from EU member states for a bonus cap. Any request from parliament for such rules would require the blessing of EU governments before becoming law.
One official, who asked not to be named, said lawmakers were likely to ask instead for a deferral of part of the bonuses.
Advocates of a fund manager payout cap argue that the same culture of excess and risk pervades fund management.
The shift is a setback for Sven Giegold, a German Green member of the assembly who led calls for tighter pay controls after parliament introduced a cap on payouts to bankers.
"Twenty-four months of pay, 12 months bonus and 12 months' salary, is enough," said Giegold. "That should be the culture in all parts of the financial sector. I don't understand why this bonus culture is in the interests of investors."
Any changes to fund manager pay would hit the managers of mutual funds, which have about 6 trillion euros ($7.82 trillion) under management. A cap would not affect hedge funds or private equity, but some analysts see it as a possible precursor to rules for those investors.
($1 = 0.7671 euros)

text: During lung branching morphogenesis, a multipotent progenitor population resides at the tips of bifurcating epithelial tubes that give rise to all lung epithelial cell types (1). Previously (2,3), we demonstrated that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) could differentiate into human lung organoids (HLOs), which possessed airway-like structures and alveolar cells, but it was unclear if HLOs possessed a bona fide tip-progenitor population. The goal of the current study was to understand how tip-progenitors are regulated such that this population could be induced in HLO cultures. Using isolated embryonic mouse and human fetal tip-progenitors, we identified factors that promoted long-term growth and maintenance of this population in vitro. Our results showed significant functional and expression differences between mouse and human tip-progenitors, and demonstrated de novo induction of a robust population of budding, SOX9+ progenitor-like cells in HLOs.


text: So I've been battling a wierd MMS issue for a while now and have finally narrowed it down. It seems that I can send pictures to friends on VZW with no problems, but the one friend that I have who has an iPhone on AT&T I can't get pictures to. I realized today that I actually can get pictures to her if I use the stock messaging app, but if I use Handcent or ChompSMS, she never gets the pics. Anyone else seen this, and more importantly, any idea how to fix it? I'd much rather use Handcent than the stock app. Thanks, Doc

What is the average power consumption of the Thunderbolt display when hooked up to a new 85W MacBook Pro 15"?
I'm off-grid so this really matters. I'm gutted Apple have discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro because that extra screen real estate makes an enormous amount of difference. A desktop is much too power hungry for my situation, but if the Thunderbolt display is reasonable then this setup becomes a potential (if far more expensive) replacement option.
- Asked by Wendy H
Apple Thunderbolt Display (27" flat panel)
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
The Thunderbolt display runs off mains power or 120V AC in the US. It has to be plugged into the wall. It will then power your MacBook Pro and the firewire and USB ports built into the monitor. You can't power the monitor from your MacBook Pro if that's what you were asking. Here are the Apple specs for the TB monitor for power consumption:
Electrical Requirements
Input voltage: 100V to 240V AC; 50-60Hz
Maximum power: 250W (Thunderbolt Display while charging MacBook Pro)
Energy saver mode: 2W or less

Plant a Tree in Africa projects
Tree planting projects have been supported by the Charity in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
Eastern Seedlings and Environmental Association is a voluntary charitable non profit making and duty registered non-governmental organization Reg; No. S. 5914/3437 to operate in Mbale District of Uganda.
It was started as a community based organization in 1995 by the indigenous people of Mbale and on 6th April 2001 it was registered under the NGO board as a non- governmental organization with the aim of promoting environmental education and forestry development.
According to a survey carried out by this organization it was discovered that most local communities lacked environmental problem awareness. To rectify this situation, the organisation assisted the communities to plant multi-purpose trees on their farms to provide building materials, fodder for animals, wood lots, fuel wood and also protect the soils on steep slopes and river banks. Fruit trees were planted and planting and farmers trained on budding/grafting of high value fruit trees. Moringa, neem, grevillea, musizi, cordia Africana were also grown for nutrition, nitrogen fixing and medicinal purposes.
- To sustainable use resources to meet the needs of the present and future generations.
- To improve on the health and sanitation of the rural communities.
- To encourage development activities e.g women, youth and people with disabilities.
Support was obtained from members contributions e.g membership fee, monthly subscription fees, revolving funds, well-wishers fundraisings, one borehole which serves water throughout the year, sales from seedlings.
The high population in Mbale district has caused a lot of pressure on resource harvesting from the protected areas. This brought about several problems related to human activities. These included landslides, floods, decline in bio-diversity in the protected areas and agriculture encroachment. We therefore promoted agroforestry in the district to develop on-farm alternatives to resources being gathered from the park and forest reserves like building poles, timber, fodder and stakes. To save and sustainably use the trees farmers were encouraged to use fuel saving stoves and other sources of energy like biogas to enable them to use the trees planted sustainably.
Communal grazing was discouraged in protected areas like Mt. Elgon National Park and forest reserves. Farmers were advised to reduce the number of herds and get improved breeds for higher milk production. The planting of napier grass and plant fodder trees like luceana and calliandra was encouraged. Planting on steep slopes and along riverbanks was encouraged to reduce soil erosionand farmers were advised to plant cover crops like mucuna, lab-lab and other cover crops which can reduce soil loss on the farms and improve soil fertility.
During our survey in the project areas the organisation found out that there was a problem of fuel wood shortage and lack of building materials. Also that there is a great loss of soil fertility because of bare steep slopes and also general decline in soil fertility. This led to poor nutrition and resulted in poor health.
Thre was a lack of clean drinking water more especially during the rainy season due to siltation or pollution of drinking water. This led to the depletion of marine life in most water sources e.g fish. Graevellia robusta albizzia spp, calliandra spp, luciana ssp, gliricidia and gliricidia and leuceana diversfolia were also grown. On steep slopes and river banks the planting of maesopsis eninii (musizi) and napier grass was encouraged .
We encourage the planting of fruit trees and provide training on budding of high value fruit trees like citrus spp, avocados, mangoes, guavas and passion fruits and also promote the planting of moringa and Neem for nutrition and medicinal purposes and cultivation of vanilla plant and growing of Arabic coffee.

Gek 'Lhar[1] was a Sangheili member of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant who fought and died in the Second Battle of Requiem at the hands of Fireteam Majestic.
Born on the island of Alytocs, just off the northern shores of Kaepra, the Sangheili Field Commander known as Gek 'Lhar served for decades during the Covenant's campaign against the humans, only to watch the military powerhouse crushed under the weight of the Great Schism.[2] In 2558 Gek greeted Jul 'Mdama at the shrine of the The Librarian. Jul had brought Henry Glassman who offered assistance for his life. Gek was given the task of guarding Glassman as he worked. Gek was told that the assault on Galileo Base was a diversion to the Humans. He was later ordered to pursue Dr. Glassman and Spartan Gabriel Thorne after the former escaped. After catching up to the two humans and engaging Thorne in combat, he was shot and killed by Paul DeMarco.[3]
'Lhar was a ruthless warrior within the Covenant, but his service to Jul 'Mdama (and, by proxy, the Didact's cause) is unwavering and incredibly fervent, only matched by his hatred of humans.[4]
He wore eleven human dog tags on his left shoulder as battle trophies, some of which belonged to Spartans.
- It appears that Gek's left eye is damaged as it appears completely white. He has a scar over that eye as well.

Gov. Kathleen Blanco's first special legislative session presented several tests of her leadership and political skills, and she passed them all with flying colors. Her honeymoon with lawmakers appears to be in full bloom.
Blanco initially asked legislators to make permanent a tax on business utilities, but she had to compromise down to a five-year extension when the House balked. She also offered lawmakers a sweetener in the form of two bills to phase out a pair of hated business taxes over a seven-to-eight-year period. Legislators in both chambers were anxious to cast pro-business votes, even while extending a "temporary tax" on business utilities.
Blanco was right to compromise on the utilities tax, not because it represented good public policy but because it was smart politics. She didn't have the votes to make it permanent. Rather than suffer a defeat on the House floor in her first outing, she took what she could get. The five-year extension is a far sight better than the annual or biennial renewals that governors have been getting for the past 18 years. She won't have to deal with this issue again until her second term, which gives her some budgetary breathing room.
The bills that phase out business taxes passed with one major concession to business -- the phase-out will now occur over six years. Blanco agreed to the accelerated phase-out. In addition, she wanted the phase-outs to begin July 1, 2005; business folks want them to begin this year. They will begin this year if the state Revenue Estimating Conference forecasts higher revenues for the fiscal year beginning this July 1. That was an easy deal to cut.
What's most interesting about the session is not what Blanco accomplished, but how she accomplished it. When the utilities tax appeared to be 10 votes shy of the two-thirds majority needed in the House, she worked lawmakers overnight and struck the five-year compromise. It passed the next day with no votes to spare. Picking up 10 House votes for a tax is no mean feat. Doing it overnight requires some deft politicking.
Moreover, the "smart" political move then would have been to hold up the other two bills -- the ones lowering business taxes -- until the Senate bought into the five-year compromise. That's the way all other governors would have played it. Blanco didn't.
Instead, her floor leaders sent all three bills to the Senate almost back-to-back, giving the Upper Chamber control over the entire package at once. That was a risky move in the oft-played game of legislative one-upmanship between the House and Senate. Many House members thought at the time that Blanco was making a serious tactical mistake -- all but inviting the Senate to go its own way and use the bills as leverage for more "goodies" from the governor.
But then a funny thing happened. The Senate passed the five-year utilities tax extension quickly and without amendments, giving Blanco a huge victory and removing any chance of the usual "let's make a deal" shenanigans that typically mark tax-writing sessions. The other bills were amended slightly to make their application broader, and a conference committee of House and Senate members struck a compromise that won quick approval in both chambers. The 16-day session thus ended in 10 days.
I was among those who were perplexed when Blanco sent the tax reduction bills to the Senate right away. Governors don't normally cede leverage during a legislative session. History tells us that power abhors a vacuum. But, in the end, what looked like an amateurish mistake by Blanco turned out to be a bold (and smart) move. It was an act of faith on Blanco's part, and senators responded in kind. As a result, we didn't see the usual political games or an eleventh-hour showdown between the House and the Senate.
That would never have happened under any other governor. Kudos to Blanco for showing what a little faith -- and well-timed compromises -- can do.

The surface of Valakivir is mostly covered by vast oceans, which are full of varied aquatic life. Deep swamps, dense forests and jungles, and a large glacier region can all be found on this diverse planet. No naturally evolved humanoid species, but large predators developed in the dense jungles, making them a very dangerous place to venture.
Valakivir has one large landmass in the western hemisphere, mainly consisting of a massive metropolis. The city is home to many sentient beings; most of these are displaced Nautolans, who fled their homeworld of Glee Anselm many years ago to get away from the war-plagued planet. The immigrants, led by the Nautolan Society, claimed the planet as a new homeworld for their race, free from the oppression found on Glee Anselm, and began construction on their grand city. The city grew very fast and soon covered a large section of the landmass of Valakivir. The planet's population is steadily on the rise, making it a popular place for immigration and development.
During the Clone Wars, a large-scale water battle took place on Valakivir between the Separatists and the Republic forces. While the result of that battle is unknown, the bottom of the Valakivir oceans are littered with the remains of not only wrecked ships, but also of the fighters that were destroyed high above in the plant's atmosphere during the battle.


text: Ok so I have read lots on the forum regarding which oil is best for an A3 2.0TDI 170. Some are saying 5w30 and some are saying 5w40. I have come down to two choices either the Shell Helix Ultra Extra 05w30 or what seems to be a new oil, Shell Helix Diesel Ultra 05w40. The diesel branded oil has various comments on cleaning the engine of soot and reducing sludge ect. I cant find any info on this forum regarding the diesel oil either. Has anyone had any experience with this Shell diesel oil? I presume the engine will also be quieter on 05w40? Can anyone say why one oil would be better than the other and for what reasons? My car has done 62000 its been on long life services but I intend to do a yearly service. I cover 10-12k a year but 90% of it is town driving. Cheers.

Make your Teeth White with Teeth Bleaching
Get you Teeth whiten or Bleach with Experts in Simi Valley, Somani Dental, the one stop for you Cosmetic Dentistry. Over time as a person ages teeth naturally become darker due to mineral changes in tooth structure as well as enamel becoming less porous.
Causes for Teeth Discoloration/Darkening
There are two major ways tooth color becomes darker: Intrinsic and Extrinsic staining.
1.Intrinsic staining is not as common and is often the result of ingesting medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, during tooth formation.
2.Extrinsic staining is due to external causes such as Bacterial Pigments, -Food and Drinks (coffee, soda, etc.), and tobacco.
Ways for Teeth Whitening n Bleaching
There are many over the counter products that a patient can use to whiten his/her teeth:
1. Teeth Bleaching strips,
2. Teeth Bleaching pens,
3. Teeth Whitening toothpastes.
However, for many people these methods are not very effective and short lived. The reason is that there are two levels of gel bleaching, high concentration or low concentration gels.
Over the counter products provide low concentration whitening. and High concentration whitening is provided only at a dental office.
Types Of Teeth Bleaching
Our office provides two types of Teeth Bleaching:
1. Home whitening and
2. Office Power Bleaching.
Both these methods utilize high concentration whitening, in which 35-38% hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide (both are oxidizing agents) are used to lighten the shade of teeth.
In contrast, low concentration whitening typically contains less than 10% hydrogen peroxide. The mechanism in which bleaching induces a change in the shade of teeth is through these oxidizing agents. They penetrate the porosities in the crystal structure of enamel and oxidize stain deposits. Over time stain deposits in the dentin layer, which lies underneath enamel, are also oxidized.
– At home whitening requires two appointments, both of which are short.
During the first appointment, impressions of the patient's upper and lower teeth are taken after which the patient is free to go. The impressions are used to fabricate custom bleaching trays specific to the patient's mouth.
At the second appointment, the custom trays, bleaching gel, and specific instructions of proper and safe use are provided. Our office recommends that a patient use at home whitening for 4-6 weeks for maximum effect.
– Office Power Bleaching takes one hour and only one appointment. No custom trays or impressions are necessary for this method of whitening. Power bleaching utilizes light energy to accelerate the process of bleaching.
Keep in mind that not every patient is a suitable candidate for bleaching. In addition, even if a patient is considered a candidate for bleaching they may not be suitable for in Office Power Bleaching.
Though a patient definitely has a right to choose which method they prefer, the dentistcan most accurately predict which method would be most effective and comfortable for each patient. Please note that at Home and Power Bleaching can lead to temporary sensitivity. It is quite common and in such cases it's recommended that the patient contact our Dental Clinic for further instructions.

Slit3 (and slit-2 (show SLIT2 Proteins)) coordinate neuron axonal pathfinding within the embryonic axon tracts along with Robo2 (show ROBO2 Proteins) and Dcc (show DCC Proteins)-Netrin1.
Data show that Hedgehog (show SHH Proteins) signaling is required for commissure formation, glial bridge formation, and the restricted expression of the guidance molecules slit1a, slit2 (show SLIT2 Proteins), slit3 and sema3d (show SEMA3D Proteins).
Overexpression of Slit3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) induces its tumor suppressive effects in Breast cancer.
Results show that silencing of Slit3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) promoted proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells and induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition suggesting that Slit3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) functions as a tumor suppressor in lung carcinoma.
Estrogen-dependent expression of SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) may play a key role in regulating nerve-vessel interactions within the complex microenvironment of endometriosis lesions.
SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) is increased with labour, and both amnion and myometrial studies describe a pro-inflammatory effect of SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) in these tissues.
High SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) expression is associated with high-grade gliomas.
SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins)-ROBO4 (show ROBO4 Proteins) activation promotes vascular network formation in human engineered tissue and angiogenesis in vivo.
results implicate the involvement of miR (show MLXIP Proteins)-218-2 and its host gene SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) in thyroid cancer cell invasion, migration, and proliferation
Slit3 treatment increased the in vivo homing efficiency of CD34 HSPCs to the BM in NOD/SCID mice, whereas Slit3-exposed HSPC migration in vitro was inhibited. Results support a role for Slit3 in human HSPC migration in vitro and homing in vivo.
three major members (Slit2/3 and Robo1 (show ROBO1 Proteins)) of Slit/Robo family are widely expressed in the human normal and malignant ovarian tissues; but Slit/Robo signaling may not play an important role in regulating human ovarian cancer cell proliferation and migration
SLIT3 (show SLIT1 Proteins) duplication on 5q35.1 predisposes to major depressive disorder
While Slit1 (show SLIT1 Proteins) and Robo2 (show ROBO2 Proteins) are only expressed in peripheral axons and their cell bodies, Slit2 (show SLIT2 Proteins), Slit3 and Robo1 (show ROBO1 Proteins) are also expressed in satellite cells of the dorsal root ganglion, Schwann cells and fibroblasts of peripheral nerves.
Heparan sulfate-deficient mouse endothelial cells was used to determine the co-reception function of heparan sulfate in Slit3-induced endothelial cell migration.
FREM1-deficient mice faithfully recapitulate many of the phenotypes seen in individuals with FREM1 deficiency and that variations in GATA4 and SLIT3 expression modulate some FREM1-related phenotypes in mice.
Report role of Slit3 in development of the caval veins and pericardium.
Robo-2 (show ROBO2 Proteins)-mediated targeting of P2 axons along the dorsoventral axis of the OB is controlled by Slit-3 expression
Study identify that the homeobox (show PRRX1 Proteins) gene Nkx2-5 (show NKX2-5 Proteins) is required for early ventral restriction of Slit3 and that the T-box transcription factor Tbx2 (show TBX2 Proteins) mediates repression of Slit3 in nonchamber myocardium.
The chemorepellent Slit3 promotes monocyte migration.
During blood vessel development, Slit3 gene expression (and that of Slit2) are linked to posttranscriptional regulation of Robo receptors.
Data suggest that the Slit family of axon guidance molecules (Slit 1 (show SLIT1 Proteins)-3) and their Robo 1 (show ROBO1 Proteins) and 2 receptors contribute to the topographic targeting of basal vomeronasal axons.
Experiments with triple mutant mice demonstrate a key role for Slit3 signaling in vertebrate midline commissural axon guidance.
The protein encoded by this gene is secreted, likely interacting with roundabout homolog receptors to effect cell migration. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

I learned about this website through an advertisement done by TigerDirect. At first I didn't believe what they were selling, but since it was through credit card and it has protection I thought I would give them a try.
They consist of being a cashback website, and also selling gift cards (including Amazon and other merchants) at a 25% discount, but you're only limited to two of each merchant (2x$25) per a certain amount of period of time.
I only bought the gift cards to try them out and they were legit.
I was also eligible to claim some cashback checks through items purchased through TigerDirect.
After receiving the gift cards and cashback I canceled the membership.
They are definitely legit, I just don't think I need their services really."

text: Washington (ANI): Gillian Anderson insists that theres only one thing that would make her consider moving back to the U.S. Barack Obama. The X-Files star left Hollywood in favour of London because of a stint on the West End stage and she has never felt the need to return. But now the actress insists that she will consider moving back to America only if Obama becomes the next U.S. President. What might bring me back is if Obama becomes President, Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. That potentially could be so uplifting and something Id want to be a part of, she added.

Modern science continues to blur the line between artificial intelligence and human intelligence. Internet and interconnectivity have caused drastic shifts in how all of civilisation functions. People utilise smartphones as if they were hooked up to their cerebral cortex.
We as a species are progressing hastily towards a new era where man and machine become one, a theme currently being explored in HBO's Westworld. (Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe an actual AI professor.) But this subject is far-reaching, with this year's crop of movies acting as feature-length warning signs to where we may be headed.
And according to 2016, we are not goddamn robots.
[Note: Technically, some of these films are 2015 titles released down here in 2016. But please, ignore that technicality.]
While we've had films from the last few years taking the fear of robot superiority very literally in fantastical sci-fi settings (I, Robot, Avengers: Age of Ultron, every single Terminator film), some of this year's most powerful films focused on the modern-day robotic systems that govern human life and the horrors such bureaucracy can produce.
Ken Loach's Cannes-winner I, Daniel Blake took an electrical cord of compassion and strangled the shit out of this subject, making me (and many others) a choked-up, puffy-eyed mess. The story is as straightforward as a fired arrow, following an older widower and a young single mother of two struggling to get an income from state welfare who make them jump through brick walls with hoops painted on them.
Screenwriter Paul Laverty researched this topic into the ground, speaking out about a real-life system that favours regulations over the unique needs of any given individual. The machine is more important than the man.
When these systems – these machines – are left to strangle the life force out of communities, life will fight back. The US economy is one such beast, with Starred Up director David Mackenzie and Sicario writer Taylor Sheridan observing its devastating effect in the excellent Texan heist thriller Hell or High Water.
Lingering shots show small towns in decay, waiting for a wind strong enough to blow them into dust. More stores are closed than open, slapped with graffiti marks that echo a common hatred for crooked bankers. The population appears eerily small, containing just enough souls to stop it from being a ghost town.
It's essentially what a post-Skynet world would look like if the robocalypse was won with contracts instead of bullets.
Our reliance on systems include virtual reality, which was profoundly tapped into with Clint Eastwood's Sully. Tom Hanks portrays the real-life pilot Chesley Sullenberger who, in 2009, saved all 155 lives on his plane when he was forced to conduct a crash landing on the Hudson River. He was rightly hailed a hero, but an investigation into the crash drew the conclusion that Sully could have gone with the far safer option – turning right back around and using the runway.
This was deemed conclusive when four out of four virtual flight simulations proved this theory right. Except, as the film points out, the VR pilots disregarded the "human factor" by turning immediately after engine failure. When the simulations allowed a reasonable human delay, things were coming up Sullenberger. (And yeah, this really did happen.)
These films convincingly suggest that technology and technical processes have a way of taking over our humanity, but we can also be guilty of using tech and process as a means to justify horrible human decision. This is where I gawk over my favourite movie of the year – Eye in the Sky.
The film is a morally-complex bunker-room war thriller about a drone strike team that is presented a rare opportunity to take out a key terrorist unit. It'd be easy to give the go-ahead if it wasn't for a little girl who enters the strike zone. To put it elegantly, Helen Mirren pretty much says "Fuck it, bomb 'em any way" and Alan Rickman is like "Yeah, we should probably do it" but his council are all like "Yeah, nah, dunno."
The situation is in a standstill as the decision makes its way pass the bureaucratic abacus until it farts out a yes or no. Meanwhile, Mirren does all she can to manipulate the process in order to get her way. It all hinges on calculations – collateral damage, area of effect, chances of fatality in the form of a percentage – that determine whether a little girl gets bombed or not.
It expresses a fear of humanity becoming too robotic, which is very relevant to the subject of drone warfare. But this theme has flourished in more intimate settings, too. German film festival sensation Toni Erdmann found a mounting snowball of comedy in this tragedy, where a severely overworked woman struggles to connect with her goofball father. Charlie Kaufman also managed to mine a surreal and sombre gem in Anomalisa, the stop-motion romantic drama that blurs the line between man and machine before bringing it back in focus (then blurring it again).
Some of 2016's biggest blockbusters have been in favour of humanity returning to nature. Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book instantly comes to mind, choosing to *SPOILER* go against the ending of Disney's animated classic by not having Mowgli assimilate with the village. Instead, he goes back to the jungle where he grew up and lives happily ever after until the next 20 sequels arrive.
In a similar domain – in terms of setting, not quality – is David Yates' The Legend of Tarzan, which opens with The King of the Jungle feeling rather cosy in the bosom of British civilisation. But when trouble strikes his former jungle home, he's forced to return to his roots where he and his wife Jane realise that they actually kinda like the jungle more.
(Okay, so the film didn't exactly strike its themes hard, but you can see what it was trying to hit.)
These aren't the only films of 2016 to cover this ever-present issue. Over the Christmas period, you're likely to come across Finding Dory where its environmentalist stance is gonna stick out way more now that you've reached the end of this article.
And I also bet your eyebrow will rise when you hear that Terminator joke from New Zealand's own Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

Hi, I'm Denise Kennedy, a Governor at Hammond Academy since September 2014. I am the deputy head as well as having been the acting head of school. Previously I have worked within two primary schools in Hertfordshire as part of the Senior Leadership team and on the governing bodies. I am a specialist leader in education (SLE), specialising in assessment. I look forward to working with all stakeholders of Hammond Academy.
I am Mhairi Emery, Chair of Governors. I have been on the Governing board since 2012 as a parent governor, appointed vice chair in 2014 and became chair in 2015. I have previously worked on the HR sub committee and am the link for Safeguarding / SEND. This year I have taken on a new link role for Research and development. I am proud to work alongside all the staff at Hammond who are very enthusiastic and dedicated to helping the school deliver and improve opportunities for all the children. I look forward to working more closely with the staff in my Chair role and also members of the Aspire Trust to ensure the school continue to provide a safe, nurturing environment for all the pupils to enjoy and achieve.
I became a Governor in 2008 when my son started at Hammond and was elected vice chair in September 2013. I became a director to help support the school and work together with the senior leadership team to ensure all pupils have an environment where they can excel and aspire.
I became chair of the learning committee in September 2013 which monitors pupil progress and I have attended a number of training courses to help me in this role. I have also joined the finance committee which has been a steep learning curve.
I live in Hemel and work in the oil industry as an IT training and communications manager.
Hi, I'm Jeffery Quaye, a Governor at Hammond Academy since January 2014. Additionally, I am an OFSTED inspector for both Primary and Secondary provisions. I joined the Governing Body mainly to support the work of the academy leadership to continuously secure outstanding outcomes for pupils in my local community.
As a Vice Principal of large secondary school, I am particularly excited to be able to bring to this role my expertise in Mathematics education, leadership and management, assessment, curriculum development, school improvement work and data management.
I look forward to working with all stakeholders of Hammond Academy.
Lily Lipman
I began my role as parent governor at Hammond Academy and Trustee in the Spring of 2015. I have since stepped down as Trustee due to work commitments, but remain passionate about my role on the Local Governing Board. I enjoy working together with the excellent governing and staff body at Hammond Academy and I am particularly interested in maintaining not only an outstanding environment for our children to grow and learn, but to create an outstanding environment for the school staff to work and develop in. My link governor area is Early Years, which continues to impress and inspire me each time I am in the school, thanks to the dedication of the team delivering the provision. I am completely thrilled to be involved with such a special organisation, and look forward to the continual development of an already exceptional academy.
