All of the staff are currently working really hard making the game," Horii said regarding Dragon Quest XI. "I think that we'll be able to make an announcement of some sort soon, so please look forward to it."Horii has previously said he wants to release Dragon Quest XI before the series' 30th anniversary year ends on May 27, 2017. The window for that potential release is closing, and it's possible this "some sort of announcement" is the release date.
It is still planned but no announcements today. Whether it launches together on the same day as PS4 and 3DS or not we cannot say today.
Szkoda Planowalem zakup PS4 dla DQ. Pewnie nie ma co liczyc na ten rok wersje PAL.
Najwięcej godzin przegrałem w 8mkę na ps2 - całość bardzo mi się podobała, lekki bajkowy klimat. Zamęczył mnie niestety grind i odległości między sejwami (jedno i drugie powinno być poprawione) - zrezygnowałem gdy po 3 godzinach od ostatniego sejwa załatwiłem bossa w dungeonie, ale podczas drogi powrotnej nie miałem się czym leczyć i padłem w starciu ze zwykłymi mobkami. Tego było za wiele
When you defeat a monster in battle, there will be times that you can mount it. By mounting a monster, you can go places that you couldn't go before. During the game, you'll borrow the power of various monsters in order to overcome terrain-based obstacles.Weekly Jump has a look at the following:Dragon Rider – If you mount a Dragon Rider, you can travel to places you couldn't reach by walking.Skull Rider – If you mount monsters like the Skull Rider, you can climb up cliffs and dungeon walls only scalable by six-legged creatures.Two new monsters are also introduced:Pearl Mobile – A mysterious machine made of a beautiful, pearl-like metal. Its body releases numbing gas. You can ride inside these machines and use them to leap to higher ground.Bee Rider – The elites of the Ocobolt world ride supergiant bees. They attack with a needle and lance. You can ride these bees and use them to cross over lakes.
Dragon Quest IX was the last big seller in the franchise at 4.3 million. However, when counting sales in the west, that amount is closer to 5.3 million.
Definitywnie jedna z najlepszych gier na PS2. Licze że Słicz poradzi sobie z 11tką.
Square Enix is set to host a special stage livestream event for Dragon Quest XI at the first of its few "Countdown Carnival" hands-on events on May 27 at 1:00 PM JST (9:00 PM PT) via YouTube and Niconico.The event will be hosted by Joy and feature producer Yosuke Saito as well as game designer and scenario writer Yuji Horii.

Petrol stations are a hub of activity. Why not provide customers with information and entertainment? Our 17inch media screens, TQC-VGA, bring promotions, information and advertisements alive. We don't just give you a screen – we provide you with a full media package, T-Media, which provides you with a return on your investment.
Hardware: One focus point with TQC-VGA
TQC VGA's all-in-one media screen and calculator is the most effective way of delivering media to a captive audience. Unlike other current media dispenser integrated options, TQC VGA delivers all information in one dedicated screen. It is also the largest integrated screen in the industry at 17 inches. There is no confusion as to where to look for the motorist. All information is delivered on one user interface. This one large display ensures the motorist is not distracted while fuelling and advertisers and marketers can have peace of mind that a captive audience sees the media.
T-Media: Add, schedule, play.
With T-Media, you have an online application that allows you to organise and play media on your dispensers. It is completely web based, so no software requires to be installed locally on the station. With T-Media from Tokheim you add content to a playlist, schedule when you want it to run, and let it play to bring your forecourt to life. All this can be done remotely, anywhere, anytime in the world.
Event driven media and advertising
T-Media is programmed to be event driven. That means that you can deliver a variety of messages using more sophisticated marketing methods. The Media can be driven by default standard events such as 'idle' (e.g. Welcome/Safety message), 'fuelling' (e.g. promote shop products or higher-grade fuels), or 'end of fuelling' (e.g. Thank You message).
T-Media also goes one step further by allowing marketers to promote products based on a variety of events such as fuel type, loyalty cards, registration plates (through ANPR), timed promotions, closed notices, out of order signs. This level of sophistication sets it apart from simply running ads or TV 24/7.
Videos, animation, images, websites and more
You can add content, such as video clips, flash animations, power point presentations or web addresses, to the T-Media web service from anywhere in the world. Simply upload your content and then drag and drop it to a playlist. Alternatively you can create content by using our simple templates editor. Tokheim's local sales teams can provide a design service if you wish to create a more localised and powerful message.
Access control
Different types of customers will often need to give access to different users of the system. As an Independent or NOC you may want graphic designers to upload content. Oil companies may want media providers, ad agencies, or marketing personnel across several locations to manage their screens. You can assign different access levels quickly with an easy-to-use admin tool set.
Benefits of T-Media
- Increase shop revenue
Displays stimulate customers to increase average spend on impulse purchases as well as additional services such as car wash.
- Increase fuel sales
Customer case studies show that by educating your customers on the benefits of your premium fuels, you can increase fuel margins.
- Advertisement revenue
Work with local selected partners to display third partypromotions on your forecourt for a more effective return on investment.
- Competitive advantage
Offer your clients better customer service and improved communications.
- Customer loyalty
Real-time information such as local traffic and weather reports can easily be displayed to help increase repeat visits and customer loyalty.
- Local support
A flexible platform to display local news and the opportunity to showcase your business within your community.

Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Campion said "We are very pleased that we have given the defense attorneys everything they need to analyze the source code..." Of course he didn't mention the $50,000 CMI is handing over to the state to hire experts to defend the source code from challenges.
The agreement calls for CMI to make the source code available for review at its Owensboro, Kentucky headquarters free of charge for any "authorized Minnesota litigant," his attorney and/or his expert. A bound version of the code will also be available to any "authorized Minnesota litigant,"his attorney and/or his expert for no more than $250.
Some issues still remain, however. Requiring attorneys and experts to travel to Kentucky could price most defendants out of a source code challenge - especially since the bound version is a decompiled version of the source code that omits key aspects, according to Minnesota criminal defense attorney Chuck Ramsey.
The settlement was reached without the input of the Plaintiff/Intervenors and the court will hold a hearing on adopting the agreement just ten days after the agreement was reached -- quite a bit quicker than the 45 days usually required under local rules for the federal courts in Minnesota.

The injury concerns for the Buffalo Sabres keep on coming, as they were also without centre Ryan O'Reilly on Wednesday night, when they played the Ottawa Senators. The pivot is considered to be day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, but the team was not offering any real update to when they will be expecting him back in the lineup. The Sabres play again tomorrow night, at home to the Devils, and he will be questionable, at best, right now.
Dale B.'s team sits in 10th place after Wednesday night, only 4 points short of the 100-point plateau, which is the next milestone to hit. His team is only 15 points short of the lead and could really use O'Reilly back in the active roster before too long.
The Columbus Blue Jackets were without forward Brandon Dubinsky on Wednesday night against the Anaheim Ducks, but the reason wasn't disclosed in this case either. He is considered to be day-to-day, but the Jackets are right back at it on Thursday night, visiting the Boston Bruins and we haven't seen word as to whether he will dress or not. Stay tuned!
Undisclosed news is the worst news to get, because who knows what it is going to end up being? Wilton is playing the wait-and-see game here and not at a great time, since his team is close to the bottom of the weekly scoring, with only 3 points, dropping from 11th to 14th. Dubinsky hasn't been great, regardless, only 2 points in 10 games, so it could have been a healthy scratch for all we know.
An update from one of the games last night, which saw Blackhawks forward Artem Anisimov leave the game against the Blues with an upper-body injury. The red-hot Russian left the game in the 2nd period, before he could register a point to keep an 11-game streak going. He's considered to be day-to-day and will be reevaluated before Friday night's game against the Capitals.
Marcin has been getting a whole lot of production out of his Blackhawks to start the season and Anisimov has been his 2nd-best player to start, registering 17 points in the first 14 games. With this sort of production, his pool team has jumped up into the money, sitting in 3rd place after Wednesday night, 2 points out of 1st.

Suppliers and retailers like you have seen great success after incorporating eat brighter! into their packaging artwork, store signage and more. Linda Cunningham of Classic Harvest and Bryan Roberts of Save-A-Lot told us how they helped each other leverage the power of the Sesame Street brand and characters with eat brighter! packaging. Watch and read their story below!
Why did you become involved in the eat brighter! program?
Classic Harvest is a young company, and we don't have millions of dollars to spend on branding. We wanted to brand our products with recognizable characters; eat brighter! is an affordable option, and PMA has done all the legwork. Millennial moms know the characters, because they grew up with Sesame Street, and the artwork really resonates with children.
Describe your experience working on eat brighter! materials with Save-A-Lot.
With Save-A-Lot, we focus on national ads and programs where we can bring something different and unique to the table. We started with the eat brighter! program last September and featured Elmo on our navel oranges bags. So when Bryan experimented with creative advertising, we went to him with our eat brighter! bag. We put it in 1,300–1,400 stores in the month of March and saw a lot of success.
What would you say to retailers who are thinking about joining?
I would tell retailers that they do not have to pay extra to have Elmo or Oscar on packaging in their stores. Many retailers are used to having to pay more for character-branded products, but with eat brighter! it's cost-neutral.

I want to tell you about an amazing organization called The Children's Nest Trust.
Children's Nest Trust is an established non governmental organization in Zambia.
Children's Nest is in the town of Choma, in the Southern Province of Zambia. It is home to 62 children, ages 2-16. It began in 2006, and in 2013 a Sponsorship Program was established to assist with the financial burden of caring for so many children. There are twelve staff members, divided into two groups to serve day and night shifts.
My friend Amy will be moving from New York to Choma very soon to start assisting the program with a huge list of responsibilities. (seriously the list is long and she will be amazing at all of it)
The other day I asked Amy if there was a need for cloth diapers. She told me that one of the reasons they don't have younger kids coming in is because of understaffing (as we all know infants take a lot of work), and also they just are not prepared with supplies to take care of the babies if a any come to the home.
Here is a little story about a baby that came to them last August while Amy was visiting:
"This baby is Karen, and her mother passed away at birth. Her father is a pastor and was unable to care for her on his own because he couldn't afford formula. She spent three weeks at Children's Nest, and while we were there we found a girl in the states who actually knew Karen's parents and decided to send money monthly to buy formula for Karen. The picture of her with the two adults is her with her grandparents. On the last day of our trip, they came with the dad to pick her up and take her home."
It is so wonderful to know that Karen was able to go home with her father and loving Grandparents. Unfortunately there are more babies out there who need a loving place and loving adults. The Children's Nest Trust is full of love and I would like to help them out by making sure they are prepared when another baby comes their way.
There are two ways that I plan on doing that.
The first is making up a cloth diaper kit for Amy to take with her. This will include snap covers, and a stack of flat diapers or flour sac towels (which is what I use and love). I know there are super fancy diapers out there, but to be honest these will be the best for their situation. Flat diapers wash really easily and dry very fast. Covers can fit multiple size babies and are easy to re-use between wash days. Mwana (Moo-wana) means baby in Tonga in the language spoken by those in Choma. So my little project that I am praying becomes HUGE is "Mwana in Cloth" which means Baby in Cloth.
The second is to help supply a fund that Amy will be able to draw from in order to purchase formula and other needs for an infant. It would be amazing if they could always say YES to a baby in need!
I would love to be able to make a kit of brand new diapers for Amy to take because it would be awesome if these little babies who have very little could have some brand new squishy cloth. And I would love to supply Amy with enough money that they never need to worry about filling those little tummies.
So if you would LOVE to help me with this endeavour you can make a donation with Paypal. I will be using some of the money to build a diaper kit, and sending the rest to Amy to use for formula and baby needs. 100% of your donation goes to this project. I plan to do my best on finding sales so I can stretch the money the farthest. I am including one size covers and newborn size just in case there are some very tiny babies. A little break down on what a cloth diaper kit would cost at full prices:
James 2:27
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
Please pray with me for this amazing organization and for their needs to be met in a way that only God can be given glory.

Kathryn + Kyle: New Years Eve Wedding Invitations
Kathryn and Kyle were a ton of fun to work with on these vintage and modern typography New Years Eve wedding invitations. The wedding was held at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Her coordinator, Misty Trompeter from Bells and Bliss had shown her the New Years Eve invitations that I did last year and Kathryn loved them.
RSVP cards with silver envelopes and coordinating custom postage stamps.
The reception card was designed in a reverse color theme and the swirl ornament from the invitation made for a festive feel.
The envelopes were addressed with a very loopy calligraphy font and the other two fonts from the invitations. Custom New Year's Eve stamps were also designed.
For the New Year's Eve Wedding, we also designed coordinating programs with the signature bifold style programs.
The new year's eve table numbers were each designed with a different new year's resolution.
We designed matching dinner menus for each place setting at the wedding.
A super fun piece inside the guest's welcome bags were these unique and custom do not disturb door hangers.
Instead of placecards, we designed a poster-sized seating chart to direct guests to their tables.

The high tech, creative and digital media innovation cluster is showcased in a new report by the Centre for Cities and McKinsey & Company which recommends more Government investment in key clusters to stimulate growth in the UK economy.
Three of the 12 high-growth, globally-significant UK clusters identified in the report are based in the South West – they are the region's high tech, aerospace and tourism sectors. Technology is also identified as key to many of those 12 clusters.
Stand-out strengths of Bristol and Bath's cluster are its diverse combination of industries and strong networks, according to the report, which highlights the region as an in-depth case study.
"It is this diversity of connected sectors, skilled workforce, world leading academic research and brilliant quality of life that make Bristol and Bath so distinctive and attractive," said Professor Joe McGeehan, chair of inward investment agency Invest Bristol & Bath and special advisor to Toshiba. "Industries ranging from high tech to creative and digital media, and from robotics to aerospace, work collaboratively to drive innovation. Major global players are increasingly setting up operations in the Bristol and Bath region as they seek to benefit from this offering as part of their plan for business growth.'
The cluster covers electronics manufacturers, animation and computer graphics firms, as well as digital start-ups and university spin-outs. This 'melting pot' of companies ranges from larger players such as Aardman Animations, HP and Toshiba to small 3D printing and robotics technology start-ups.
Specialist hubs such as Bristol & Bath Science Park, Watershed and the Engine Shed are also highlighted as a vital component of this thriving cluster, along with networks which connect talent, companies, universities and investors across sectors.
Clusters are a major contributor to economic growth, an important source of well-paid jobs and also bring wider business advantages such as a strong understanding of customer demand and support for innovation. As a result, clusters are well placed to attract investment and talent, according to the report.
Inward investment agency Invest Bristol & Bath has recognised the strength of the cluster to secure a flurry of investment and interest from national and international high-tech firms wanting to establish a base in the area.
Chinese telecoms giant Huawei is setting up an R&D facility in Bristol, while Somo, the largest independent mobile solutions company, has chosen Bristol to set up a specialist engineering centre, and digital solutions company Kainos has also invested in opening a new office in the city. Leading online takeaway service JUST EAT has also announced it is expanding its technology development by opening a new specialist hub in Bristol.
The Centre for Cities report also highlights a range of barriers to the development of a successful cluster, including the challenge of securing recognition on a global stage. "Clusters are an essential feature of an innovative and dynamic economy, and the Government needs to support them and remove the barriers to their growth," said Lord Sainsbury, who commissioned the report.
"We know that relatively small, but targeted investments in areas such as skills and infrastructure can make a significant difference in the UK's economic output," said Centre for Cities chief executive Alexandra Jones. "Improving local business environments and increasing the flexibility of our cities to respond to their specific challenges will not only support existing clusters to reach their potential, but encourage the emergence of new clusters and high-growth firms in all sectors across the UK."
Joe McGeehan who was at the launch of the report, "Just over a year ago, we established Invest Bristol & Bath, the area's inward investment agency to promote the region at a national and international level. This move is already paying dividends as Invest Bristol & Bath, which is backed by funding from the Government's Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, has created over 700 jobs in the past year."
David Sproxton, chairman and co-founder of Aardman, said: 'It is excellent to see a report focusing on the importance of industrial clusters as powerhouses for the economy, and highlighting Bristol and Bath for its undoubted strengths across the high tech, creative and digital-media space. We definitely need to raise the profile of UK clusters so they can continue to compete on the global stage.'
Bonnie Dean, chief executive of Bristol & Bath Science Park, says: 'It is the collaborative approach of Bristol and Bath's technologists, business leaders and academics, combined with its rich network of interlinked, complimentary sectors that make the tech cluster here particularly successful. The region has excelled in creating a lively ecosystem of enterprise, where knowledge, expertise and ideas are shared, innovative thinking is stimulated and business success is accelerated.'
A vibrant and innovative cluster, Bristol & Bath's tech industry is producing animated films, the latest breakthroughs in analysing 'big data' and the world's smallest drones.
Mayor of Bristol George Ferguson responding to the news said: "This is a very welcome report that recognises Bristol and Bath as one of the most important clusters of economic activity in the UK. Our growing expertise in the creative and digital sector is getting attention and attracting more and more companies to relocate here."

South Sioux City, Neb. (KCAU) — With kids heading back to school in the upcoming weeks, it's important to remember there will be a lot more kids out walking to school and to be cautious while driving around schools.
KCAU 9 Digital talked with Lt. Chris Chernock of the South Sioux City Police Department about the extra precautions drivers should have with school starting back up.
"On the street there's going to be pedestrian traffic, people crossing at intersections and in the middle of the block. So, we want you to really be on your 'A' game when you're driving," Lt. Chernock said.
Lt. Chernock noted that most of the schools in South Sioux City are on the east side of town. With the schools being on the east side of town, there's a lot of people moving in an easterly direction and making the sun a factor while driving by the schools.
"Once or twice a week during the school year we have an accident was somebody was blinded by the sun or some reason the sunlight compromised the efforts to see and their ability to see as they were going down the street," Lt. Chernock explained.
Lt. Chernock suggests that drivers should take a little extra time and slow down so you can observe what's going on around you. By following these suggestions, it will help kids have a safe path to and from school.

Another Twitter User, Zoe wondered what kinda relationship she got with her mother, She simply wrote;
Another user, @VyRoseHill felt the "disrespect", comes from black parents in general.. She wrote: "That was so uncalled for. I swear black parents are just so disrespectful for no reason!"
@Justkarre_ wrote: "In what way, shape or form is it okay to talk to your child like this. Stop normalizing sh*t like this. This is not ok."
Khrystauna then defended her mom…
Khrystauna then quoted the conversation she shared and said; "For everyone who is so sensitive about this post. My mom and I have a close relationship and joke like we're sisters ALL THE TIME.

While in Amsterdam we took advantage of the multicultural food scene and dined at a restaurant with a menu boasting margaritas, fajitas and other such delicacies. Continuing on my meat phase, I went all in and ordered the Bandeja Paisa. This beautiful array of chorizo, smashed and fried plantains, thick hand-rolled tortillas and more arrived at the table. I was in flavor heaven.
Taste buds that were lying dormant danced as salt, lime, tomato, corn, pork and tequila passed through my mouth. What a wonderful dinner. Happy weekend!

The Dads Army Movie Finally Comes to Town
In just over a weeks time the Dads Army Movie will be opening in cinemas across the country.
Many newspapers are already predicting that the Dads Army Movie will herald a new revival of tourism in Bridlington.
The main areas where filming took place were in Bridlington. The Bridlingon Old Town High Street was transformed into the set of Walmington on Sea for the Dads Army Movie.
Shops and premises on the Bridlington High Street were turned into sets for the filming. The Old Town Gallery was turned into the undertakers premises and a tea shop was created. Additionally the local pub had a change of name and signage for the Dads Army Movie.
Until now Bridlington Old Town has been best known for its exemplary fish and chips, the faded glamour of its seaside resorts. The 600-year-old claim to fame of being visiting by Henry V and not forgetting the 900 year old Priory Church.
As of 2016, the modest streets of Bridlington, Yorkshire, are set to become the latest must-visit destination, after it was selected to bring Dads Army Movie back to life.
Bridlington's Old Town is to star in the remake of Dad's Army, the new British blockbuster starring the toast of Hollywood.
And just as Downton Abbey caused a tourist boom at Highclere Castle, Poldark inspired an influx of visitors to Cornwall, and Wolf Hall boosted the National Trust's coffers. So the residents of Yorkshire hope Dad's Army will put it firmly on the map.
The film, starring Toby Jones, Bill Nighy, Sir Michael Gambon and Catherine Zeta Jones, was filmed almost entirely on location in the resorts of Yorkshire. From the historic towns to the pristine coastline masquerading as the White Cliffs of Dover.
The main thing to remember about the Dads Army Movie, however, is – Don't Panic. But whatever you do when you get to the box office to book your seats to watch the Dads Army Movie – 'Don't tell them your name Pike'!

Kickin' it (winter camping style) in the Catskills.
Oh, how I love New York.
Well, actually I'd never been there before, but it was time for an adventure. After an 12 hour car drive (well, passenger ride really) we finally made it to the Catskills. I found it moderately amusing that the folk that work in gas stations and are happy? to give directions sound just like us. Well, sorta.
In any case Michelle and I arrived a bit before our Boston hailing friend, and decided to pick a campsite. Really, this just ended up being a parking lot, on the side of the road. But, hey, we were tired and wanted to car camp. I think we were so tired that setting up Michelle's Big Agnes Big House 6 seemed like a good idea. Well, we all had plenty of room, even if it was a bit chilly.
The next morning (after getting weird looks from passerby's) we broke down camp and wandered down to Asbestos wall. The approach was SUPER short, and the walls are pretty nice so I highly recommend it for a fun, easily accessible, top roping day. We set up two different top rope sites and played around on them for hours. Michelle did her first mock ice lead, and yes, I'm very proud of my little ice climber. I also did a legit WI2+/3 lead, that was super fun, and super easy. And Justin, well, tried to get into shape. Bless his soul.
That evening we took a little gander up the mountain and camped right near the approach to Stoney Cove. It was much warmer the second night. I have a feeling this might be because the three of us were actually using a 2 person winter tent. Three bodies, three zero degree sleeping bags, three collections of junk, room for two? Yea, I was actually sweating. But that might also be because I was miserably sick on this trip. (I had been battling the cold from hell, which lasted about 3 weeks.)
Sunday morning, after tea time and a little re-organization we headed up the east side of Stony Cove. We ran into some older folk who were experienced snowshoers, and recommended we strap ours on. After an incredibly steep approach using snowshoes that didn't have heel bars, we quickly regretted that decision. One piece of gear that I desperately need, is a good pair of ascent specific snowshoes. Bringing the trekking poles however, was an excellent idea.
Once at the top we ran smack into the Playground. A few guides were working on setting up 4 top ropes for their novice group that was soon to met up, and they were basically monopolizing the whole area. Fortunately, the twin columns are a stones throw away so Michelle and Justin took off to set up a rope. This whole area is great for setting top ropes. There are easy walk-ups, and if you can lead a WI2, you're money. The left most line on the Playground is about a WI2-, and I imagine taking a rope up this way might save a little time.
In any case, I twiddled my thumbs yet again, waiting for them to drop the rope. (In the right place, yea, I'm good for something…) Soon after we all had a chance to climb the route, another group set up a rope on the far right side of the columns. We did a little switching off, and goofing around.
The results:
I'll let you be the judge.
On another note, we did end up climbing the playground as well. The far right line was in, and WET. But it was a solid route, that not many, if any, of the guide groups 'customers' could send.
After the clean, we did a little sliding down the approach. Yes, I love doing this, and I love that my shell has a snow-skirt. (I'm sure Arc'teryx designed it in mind for ass sliding with trekking poles, and an ascent bag full of climbing gear, no?) And somewhere between then, and home Michelle lost a tool. So if anyone has an old Petzl Quark up for sale, let a girl know.
All in all, another solid trip. Plus, I love driving through Canada. (And visiting close friends and felines in Buffalo).

Recently new findings from Professor Chunjie Zhao's group are published in Cerebral Cortex, providing new insights into the mechanisms of the development of cortical interneurons and the dentate gyrus.
1 Foxg1 Regulates the Postnatal Development of Cortical Interneurons (Cerebral Cortex, 2018, doi: 10.1093/cercor/bhy051).
Abnormalities in cortical interneurons are closely associated with neurological diseases. Most patients with Foxg1 syndrome experience seizures, suggesting a possible role of Foxg1 in the cortical interneuron development. By conditional deletion of Foxg1, which was achieved by crossing Foxg1?/? with the Gad2-CreER line, this group found the postnatal distributions of somatostatin-, calretinin-, and neuropeptide Y-positive interneurons in the cortex were impaired. Further investigations revealed an enhanced dendritic complexity and decreased migration capacity of Foxg1-de?cient interneurons, accompanied by remarkable downregulation of Dlx1 and CXCR4. Overexpression of Dlx1 or knock down its downstream Pak3 rescued the differentiation detects, demonstrated that Foxg1 functioned upstream of Dlx1-Pak3 signal pathway to regulate the postnatal development of cortical interneurons. Due to the imbalanced neural circuit, Foxg1 mutants showed increased seizure susceptibility. These ?ndings will improve our understanding of the postnatal development of interneurons and help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying seizure in patients carrying Foxg1 mutations. Drs. Wei Shen and Ru Ba contributed to this work equally.
2 PDK1 De?cit Impairs the Development of the Dentate Gyrus in Mice (Cerebral Cortex, 2018, doi: 10.1093/cercor/bhy024)
3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) is crucial for the development of the dentate gyrus (DG), the ?rst gateway receiving afferent inputs from the entorhinal cortex. However, the role of PDK1 in DG development is unclear. In the present study, by crossing Pdk1? / ? mice with the Emx1-cre line, we identi?ed that the ablation of PDK1 disrupted the development of DG via decreasing the proliferation, and increasing the differentiation of dentate neural progenitor cells, downregulating AKT activity and upregulating GSK3β signaling. Moreover, PDK1 deletion disrupted the distribution of Reelin+ cells and decreased the level of Reelin mRNA which may contribute to the defective migration of progenitor cells and the disrupted radial glial scaffolds. Furthermore, the inhibition of GSK3β activity partially restored the decreased proliferation of primary neural stem cells in vitro. Taken together, our data indicated that the ablation of PDK1 affected the proliferation and differentiation of dentate neural progenitor cells in mice. Drs. Min Xu and Xiaoning Han contributed to this work equally, and this work collaborated with Professor Jun Gao at Nanjing medical university.

Prior auth requirements for Medicaid outpatient behavioral health therapy removed
As of Dec. 12, 2019, Medicaid outpatient behavioral health therapy will no longer require prior authorization. You will no longer need to submit clinical documentation for these requests.
Why we're making this change
We're removing the authorization requirement to improve members' access to the mental health services they need to ensure they're able to get the right care at the right time.
Helping your Medicaid patients get the behavioral health care they need
Refer your patients to a Priority Health in-network behavioral health provider
We're responsible for reimbursement for outpatient behavioral health therapy services for Medicaid members with mild to moderate mental health needs. This includes patients experiencing or demonstrating mild to moderate psychiatric symptoms or signs of sufficient intensity to cause subjective distress or mildly disordered behavior, with minor or temporary functional limitations or impairments and minimal clinical instability.
Refer your patients to Community Mental Health (CMH) when they have:
- Severe mental illness, serious emotional disturbance (children and adolescents), or those with a developmental disability. Patients appropriate for CMH services often have substantial impairment in their ability to perform daily living activities, including bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, preparing meals, housework and employment. For children and adolescents, this includes interference in achievement or maintenance of developmentally appropriate social, behavioral, cognitive, communicative, or adaptive skills
- Functional impairment that is significant or long-term in nature or is already receiving case management, support coordination, or home-based services from CMH.
- Substance abuse disorders
- Autism
How services will be monitored
A clinical review process may be initiated for patients with high utilization of outpatient services. Behavioral Health providers will be contacted, and a request will be made to submit clinical documentation for review. This process will be used to review the clinical needs of your patient and determine if specialty mental health services from CMH would be clinically appropriate.
Important: Medicaid patients already receiving outpatient behavioral health therapy services will not need to have updated or terminated authorization. Our claims system will not require authorization; therefore, claims will process automatically.
Resources to help you determine where your patient should receive services
An additional resource you can hand out to your patients is the Getting Services Flyer.

When the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam grew a little older he became a tradesman. It is said that he used to trade along with Saib ibn Abi Saib.
The Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam was the best to his companions. He would not argue or make lame excuses. He was trustworthy, truthful and a man of fine character; and this got him the title of Amin.
Being Employed by Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid
Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha was a merchant woman of stature and wealth. She would employ men to trade goods on her behalf. Being a woman, she chose to manage the business from her home instead of undertaking long journeys and dealing with men in the marketplace.
When the news of the Prophet's trustworthiness, truthfulness and character reached her, she decided to hire him.
The Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam accepted the job and traveled to Syria in the company of Khadeejah's slave Maysara. When they reached Syria, the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam traded the goods, earned a good profit and returned to Makkah.
Never before had Lady Khadeejah's hired merchants made so much profit as Muhammad salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam. When she heard from Maysara about his business skills and character she was impressed.
[7 Remarkable Things about Khadeejah, the Wife of the Prophet]
The Business Lady Sends Her Proposal
Returning to Makkah, Maysara not only narrated the tales of Prophet's business acumen but also a strange incident that he observed. He informed her of two angels shading the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam on a hot day. When Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha learned of this, she gave herself in marriage to Allah's beloved Messenger salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
When the proposal reached the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam he consulted with his uncles who approved of it and gave the couple good wishes for their future. Abu Talib conducted their Nikkah [Islamic marriage agreement] and said praises for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It is said that mahr [bridal dowry] was decided to be either twenty or six camels.
Their marriage took place two months after the Syrian trade journey. At the time of their marriage, the bride was 40 years old and the groom was 25 years old. In some narrations, Lady Khadeejah's age is said to be 28, however, there is more evidence of her being 40 years of age. Allahu A'lam!
Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha had been married twice in the past: once to 'Ateeq ibn Aiz Makhzoomi and then to Abu Hala Tayyami. However, both her husbands passed away and she was left behind as a widow. She had one child from Abu Hala. Many men of high stature had proposed the widow, however, none of them appealed to her. She waited for the right man who would be of a fine character and not just marry her for her financial standing or beauty. For her right intentions, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala married her to the best of all mankind. Abundant peace and blessings be upon our Prophet.
Their marriage became the talk of the town because both the bride and groom were well-liked by the Makkans. People envied the couple.
[Allah Married the Lover of the Qur'an to the Compiler of the Qur'an]
This beautiful marriage contains many lessons for us. One of them is that if a woman finds someone suitable for herself instead of waiting for the man to propose her, she can initiate the proposal. We also learn that one's age should not be an issue. If the two people getting married find each other compatible then it does not matter which race or culture they are from, or what their ages are. We also learn that what is worth assessing in a prospective match is a fine character. Sadly, we fall for the superficial things such as one's financial standing or physical appearance instead of character. And then when the honeymoon phase is over we see the ugliness of the other person and regret our decision.
Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha was a woman of fine character herself. She was from a noble family and of a high stature. For her, Prophet's meager means did not matter; what really mattered was his uprightness and character.
[Attributes of An Ideal Muslim Husband]
In our society many people claim to be seeking proposals of practicing Muslims, however, what they really are after is one's wealth. Many parents reject proposals for their daughters on the basis that the groom-to-be does not earn well. It is not that one should completely ignore one's financial standing, because everyone has a right to not live in miserly conditions, but it should not be the main criteria for assessing a potential prospect. Furthermore, it is not only the girls' parents who look for rich families, many times it is the boy's side looking for rich girls that will support their son. They are looking for Khadeejah (radhiAllahu 'anha) while their sons are no Muhammad (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Have a look at the matrimonial ads published in newspapers, you will be shocked to see that having a foreign nationality is one of the criteria of marriage. They blatantly say: the girl should help our son settle abroad.
We also learn that just as the tragedies in the Prophet's life did not lead him to depression, similarly, being a widow did not made Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha to entertain suicidal thoughts or give up on life. Her husbands were gone but she still had a life before her. Instead of crying over her loss, she busied herself in business. Sadly in our societies, people fall into self-pity. They only see the bad in their lives and do not reflect on the purpose of their pain. Why is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala testing them? What does He want them to do?
If it is not the person, then one's family or society keeps reminding them of their loss so much so that they will label them wretched. Surrounded by such negativity, the woman believes what is said about her and gives up on her life. Because she is under stress, she has no hope for her future and cannot think for herself.
We need to ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for wisdom and rushd [right guidance], and stay away from negative people. Instead of brooding over our losses or deprivations, we need to get out of self-pity and fix our lives. We should remember that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala only helps those who help themselves. Neither did the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam sit back hoping for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to miraculously change his life nor did Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha wait for things to happen on their own. They found a purpose for their lives and continued to use Allah's blessings in making a livelihood for themselves. How often do we look at our blessings, and how much do we complain about what we don't have?
We should remember that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala treats a person as they are. If we compare our lives with others, chase the trends of this world and fall for the wrong things then it is our own mistake. Instead of arguing with people and blaming taqdeer [one's fate], one should reflect on his decisions and the company that he chose. We should remember that all of us are different and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has a plan for each one of us. We need to ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to show us our special talents and allow us to pursue them in His path, aameen.
[Don't Say I Have a Big Problem; Say I Have a Big God]
Prophet's Children from Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha
Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha was the Prophet's first wife. He did not marry another woman for as long as she was alive. She was the only wife that delivered him children. However, Prophet's son Ibraheem was born to Maria radhiAllahu 'anha – he died a few months after birth.
The names of the Prophet's children were: Qasim, Zeinab, Ruqaiyya, Um Kulthoom, Fatimah and 'Abdullah.
All of the Prophet's sons died in their infancy and for this the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam was greatly mocked by his own people. The Quraysh would say: Muhammad has been cut off. It used to grieve the Messenger salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam a lot but he remained patient with the decision of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then revealed Surah Al-Kauthar and said, "Indeed, We have granted you (O Muhammad), al-Kauthar. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him alone). Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off." (108:1-3)
All of his daughters embraced Islam, migrated to Madinah and died before the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam except Fatimah radhiAllahu 'anha. She died six months after the death of her dear father.
The critics who label the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam to be a womanizer need to read his Seerah. His first marriage was at the age of 25 and for as long as Khadeejah radhiAllahu 'anha was alive he did not re-marry. All of his later marriages were because of a reason. He had to teach us that it is absolutely permissible and liked to marry a divorcee, a widow, etc.
The revelation of Surah al-Kauthar teaches us that we need to have a firm belief in the Power of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Do not pay heed to what people say to you or about you. If they remind you of your pitiful state remind them and yourself: HasbeeAllahu wa Nimal Waqeel [Allah is sufficient for me and He is the Best Disposer of Affairs]. Whether you have been divorced, your child has died or some other calamity has struck you, do not worry because this is all part of Allah's plans. Recite HasbeeAllahu wa Nimal Waqeel and ask Him to provide you solace and show you His next plan. When the Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam was going through a trial in his life, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed Surah ad-Duha, and relieved him of distress. Read its tafseer and see how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala consoles His servants.
If we reflect on this phrase: HasbeeAllahu wa ni'mal waqeel, we will realize that this is an excellent tool to detach ourselves from dunya and its blessings. When we are not attached to the temporary pleasures of this world and have the certainty that the next life is the real life, we will not grieve as much over petty matters of this life. Our life should not end with calamities. We need to learn the art of finding ease in hardship and to reflect on the wisdom in the pain.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala fix our affairs and teach us wisdom. May He allow us to become our own person and stop following and listening to naysayers, aameen. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is sufficient for us and He is all that we need!

The most recent study from Forrester estimated that online holiday sales reached $151 billion in 2018 and in-store purchases grew to $567 billion. Content is a powerful way to getting a piece of that pie efficiently and without interrupting peoples' life. Content marketing and its amplification has never been more important than what it is today for marketers to achieve their holiday goals.
Below are three important statistics and an infographic that explain the importance of content and its amplification using non-interruptive ways.
3 Simple Reasons to Amplify Your Content
More and more brands are leveraging content marketing to drive better consideration for their products and services to create a greater impact on their holiday sales earnings. How do brands break through all of the online clutter this holiday season to get their content seen? Pouring more advertising dollars into Q4 to generate more sales will only work if branded content is actually being seen and if it's being to form a relationship with prospective customers. Use content to build a connection this winter, use amplification to bring it back to the surface in time for the holiday rush.
- 78% of consumers prefer getting to know a brand or learning about products through content as opposed to advertising.
- 60% of consumers seek out a product after reading about it.
- Brands experience a 6X higher conversion rate using content marketing as opposed to advertising.
Scaling content marketing and its amplification is not a trend going away anytime soon. Study after study bears this out. During the holiday content marketing and its amplification is even more important as the amount of content added to the Internet accelerates. Some marketers that rely on organic traffic exclusively during the holiday without amplification can see a 20-30% drop in their organic traffic during this time, according to smartblogger.com. Give your content a chance this holiday season and amplify it.

Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. My grandma on my dad's side died somewhere around fifth grade, if I remember correct. My memories of her are vague and shifting. The smell of her and her home, a cabinet full of glass and china, hugs, Christmases, her funeral, parts of where she lived. It is not that she was not a good grandma or that I did not love her, but I did not see her as much as we saw grandma Koji, from my mother's side, of whom I remember much more. She loved Elvis and treats, she let us watch cartoons. I still remember the room I shared with my siblings when I was younger and we would visit. They would share one bed, sharing jokes and laughing while at first, I had what seemed more like a crib. My parent's room had a high blue ceiling with a vent connecting, there were slants to the ceilings and kitten pictures that hang in my room today. I remember her yelling at me when I stuck the wing of a plastic bat in an outlet, her calling me when she got a double yolk in one of our eggs. I remember the tiger picture she had in her room, and that it had only curtains instead of a door. Her well worn slippers, her night dresses, how scared I was of her basement and the little mysterious door that was in the wall halfway up the stairs.
My grandma has alzheimers. She is eighty-eight now, and lives in a nursing home down by my aunt's.
She had the most amazing laugh I think I have ever heard. I hear it sometimes when my mom laughs and hope to God one day that someone else will hear it in mine.
We went down to Indiana this weekend for Christmas, the first time in a few years. We only go down there in groups, for Bear games, summer visits and Christmas. It's too much of a drive to do much otherwise, and with my brother sick and my sister a new mom, it was only myself and my parents this year. My aunt offered to take us to go see "Momma," and though I am one of those people who does not care for nursing homes, I agreed to go, as I usually do.
We drove out there, my mom, aunt, cousin and I, and wandered down to the cafeteria to find her. My aunt is on a first name basis with most of the staff and many of the residents. She walks with purpose everywhere, but particularly here. Guiding us past the lunch room, she brought us to my grandma. She was sleeping, and when we woke her, she seemed startled at first. We said hello, somewhat faking cheeriness in the face of the grief these encounters bring, and, after a few mumbling kinds of words I couldn't understand, she suddenly started jabbering. "Dadadadadadadadadadadadada." Just like a stuttering engine.
I have never seen my grandmother do this kind of thing.
My mother tells me they think it's from strokes.
My aunt said this was a good day. Wandering off to find water or some such thing, my mother took control. Speaking to her, explaining who she was and asking questions on how she was, yielded few results. She brought a Christmas present from the family, a picture of her great grandson. Mom explained who he was, and she denied it, the rest of us laughing as we insisted.
Finally, my mom offered a trigger, a song she knew from childhood. She had found a book with it inside and bought it, and standing in front of her mother, holding her hands and bobbing them along to the music, she sang.
My grandmother laughed, giggling like a child and shaking her hands.
Her laugh isn't the same.
And yet, there's something in there. I know that there is. There is something that remembers those songs, and just can't get it out. I feel it when she looks at me and I explain who I am and something seems to click. I see it in the urgency with which she shakes my mom's hands and half mumbles along with the words. She tries to sing. She sort of does. I know there's a part of her in there, screaming "I know who you are!"
This is what makes it hard. That there is the woman who raised my mother–one of the strongest women I know–trapped inside a failing brain. That she can remember these things and see her daughter that she loves so much and not be able to say so. That my mom can't hear those words again. It is such a tragedy for her to be so lucid and to be able to do so little, to sputter like a struggling car.
And then there are the times when she is not as lucid, when she clutches the dolls they give her almost exactly like a child. She seems happy then, in ways, caring for them perhaps like they are her children. Maybe to her, they are. Maybe they are her real children, the memories she still has.
And this is what I wish for my grandmother. That she would know that we still love her, that we understand what she's trying to say. That when she holds her dolls she would see her kids, and know that she raised them well. That they are raising kids of their own. I dream when she is not lucid that it is not frightening, that the real world, the nursing home, melts away to a beach. Her husband is there, in Hawaii, waiting to hold her hand. She walks with him along the beaches, and he whistles and sings and cooks. They raise poodles like they used to, and he goes bowling while she eats or watches–I'm not sure what she did back then. Elvis plays, the soaps are on, there's always enough peanut butter and chocolate. In my dreams, she is always happy and never alone, and we all know how much we love her.
Alzheimers skips generations. I am glad and hopeful that I should never have to go through this with my mom, to see her slip away like she did with her own. I hope she knows how much I love her now so that if she does, she always knows, that that is something she will remember.
I fear my kids might have to see it happen to me.
In the meantime, I dream for my grandma. I dream that she is happy, that she knows we love her and understand, and that she sees her dolls on the beach.
Thank you for reading.
For every like I get on this post, up to 500, I will donate $1 to Alzheimers research.

Greenwich Greens – Beautiful well appointed home situated in the most peaceful location
Beautiful well appointed home situated in the most peaceful location We loved it here. Everything was clean, beautifully decorated and updated to our liking. i was happy with the high quality of the kitchen cabinets. There were a lot of different toys for people who may have younger children. My favorite place to stay was the lovely screened in room overlooking St. Peter's bay. There is so much space inside for everyone to relax. We loved the huge yard and the fact that there were no other homes next to us. There is Greenwich National Park just a few miles down the road and The Basin is worth the 30 minute drive. When we did go to Cavendish to see all of the "Anne" action we were glad we weren't in the tourist area but so enjoyed our drives and then coming home to our peaceful abode. I can't say enough about how happy we were on this vacation, at this charming home.
Greenwich Greens – Location excellence 🙂
Location excellence 🙂 The cottage was fantastic both in terms of location and condition. The cottage is close to Saint Peters Bay and literally around the corner from Greenwich Beach. Also right around the corner from a nice little take-out place called Lin's. The cottage itself is spacious, clean, and has full amenities. The front patio and sun-room were highlights for us, as well as the large yard. Would definitely recommend it.

Home security may be a major concern for you if you're a female that lives alone. You can do a few things to end your anxiety. Follow the tips presented here for the best in home security.
Place your spare key securely on your dog's collar. Outdoor dogs or pet doors make this possible. Latch the key on his collar and voila–you have a spare key available!
Buy a safe so you can conceal your valuables in it. You would hate for your expensive jewelry, personal family belongings, etc. to be stolen in case a burglar breaks into your home. Keep it hidden in a hard to find location.
Don't post online when you'll be away from your home. Although your first instinct is to share the news about an upcoming trip that excites you, the info may well fall into the hands of people who'd be interested in burglarizing your home while you're away.
Go with your gut when you invite a home security company representative into your house. If the installers give you the heebie-jeebies, it's not a good sign. Ask for someone else to come out or switch companies. The point of that system is to feel safer after all.
Always lock your home, regardless of how short your trip out is. A lot of times, burglaries happen due to carelessness. It does not take long for thieves to steal your expensive stuff.
Keep your home security system's wires under cover. One of the ways an intruder can get around a security system is by disconnecting or cutting the wires. Make it hard for a burglar to avoid your detection. This can make you safer.
Keep lights on at all times if you want to prevent break-ins from happening. They do not want to be seen. It makes it look like you are home and makes it difficult for thieves to hide. Thus, you should always keep lights on at nighttime.
Maintain the exterior areas in your house so they are well lit. Burglars seek darkness so that they can stay hidden. Be sure all vulnerable exterior areas of your home are equipped with good lighting. Having these outdoor lights installed can really work as a deterrent to criminals who are considering your house.
If you haven't bought a paper shredder yet, make it a point to do so. Thieves can use this information to figure out your schedule and determine the best time to break in. If you don't want a shredder, rip the papers up manually.
When you are away on vacation have a house sitter bring in your mail and any flyers and newspapers that accumulate in front of your house. Thieves will drop off flyers to see if home owners are away. If their fliers are not moved, the crook knows the home is unattended.
Consider installing a surveillance system. You can make a huge difference in your home's security by putting in cameras whether they're concealed or out in the open. Most intruders are discouraged by visible cameras. But, if they attempt to disable the camera, you will still be able to see them if you have a hidden camera. Some security systems can be accessed with cell phones, so you can check on your house while you are away.
Don't let anyone peek into your garage. Frost your windows so people cannot look inside your home. Don't leave your front door unlocked or standing open when you are working in the garage or yard.
Don't use spring-latch locks. These locks are very easy to pick with something as common as a credit card. All they have to do is wedge the card between the latch and door, then wiggle it. A deadbolt can be retrofitted to a door with a spring latch lock if you want to make it more secure.
Do not store your car registration in your glove box. This isn't smart because that information contains your home address. You ought to keep them with you or store them in an alternate spot in the car. Your papers should be easy to access in case a police officer pulls you over.
If you must hide a key, hide it somewhere unusual. Fake rocks are easy to spot. Another obvious location is underneath the doormat. This will be one of the first places that a burglar will look for your spare key. The best strategy is to have a neighbor or good friend hold a spare key in case you need it. If you must keep it elsewhere, be creative with your hiding spot.
Make sure you have the curtains drawn if your windows are faced toward the street. You shouldn't be inviting people to look at your stuff through the window. When your valuables are on display, burglars will see it as a veritable buffet. Keep your valuables out of sight and you'll make yourself less of a target for crime.
Any doors that aren't solid wood or made of metal should be replaced. Doors made of these materials are sturdy. A burglar trying to kick in such a door is going to be in for some pain. It is easy and affordable to replace all of your home's exterior doors, so ensure you do this immediately.
Establish some good relations with your neighbors. Busybodies are most likely to notice suspicious people lurking about. Being friendly will make them more likely to alert you right away.
The wiring on the outside of your home can draw burglars in. Your wiring contains copper, which is worth a considerable amount of money. Hide your wires so thieves don't attempt to steal it.
Many people purchase a gun for safety reasons. You should consider getting a gun and receiving training. Just knowing that you have guns in your house could make you feel safer.
Securing your house doesn't mean you've got to go through pricey installs and waiting on slow companies to get the work done right. You can find out some great alternatives that are much cheaper that help keep the criminals away. Keep these tips in mind to be secure in your home.

Astrolabe: dismounted reverse
This carelessly engraved, 'decorative' astrolabe is almost identical to AST0575, although with slightly less decoration. Both are very likely to have come from the same workshop. AST0575 bears a date (AH1192 [1778-79 AD]) on its reverse side, but this is likely to be spurious, for this date also appears on an astrolabe by Hajji Ali, from which AST0549 and AST0575 have been unsuccessfully copied.
The throne is ornamented with a symmetrical pattern, the mater is blank and the rete comprises an unappealing tracery of stems and leaves. There are four, more or less accurate, plates for latitudes between 30-37. The back of the instrument features two altitude scales, a sine quadrant and a double shadow square. The wedge is a replacement dated 1970.
