The Truth About Your Employer-Paid Life Insurance
It is common for most employers to offer their full-time employees a basic life insurance policy with a coverage limit equivalent to your yearly salary. Sounds great doesn't it? Free coverage and you can't be denied! It's perfect, and really, what more could you want? More life insurance, that's what!
When you look past the overall perks of employer paid life insurance (no cost to you and guaranteed coverage), you are able to see why it really may not be good enough.
Limited Coverage
Like we mentioned above, employer paid life insurance is typically offered at a coverage rate equivalent to your annual salary. The life insurance company may allow you to purchase additional life insurance through them at group rates, but again, the coverage level is based off of your salary – up to 5 times what you make in a year. Floridians have an average annual salary of $40,750 – and when it comes to life insurance, that really isn't much. So, you should definitely consider purchasing the extra life insurance, and maybe even a little more from outside of the office.
To help you determine how much coverage you need consider the following factors:
- You and your spouse's combined annual income
- Your family's current lifestyle
- How much of your mortgage is still unpaid (or how much you pay in rent)
- How much of your vehicle (or spouse's or child's) is still owed
- The amount of unpaid student loans you or your spouse have
- And the amount of personal debt like credit cards that you owe
If you were to pass away unexpectedly, would your surviving spouse be able to handle the mortgage or other bills by themselves? Would your family be able to continue their current lifestyle, or would they have to makes changes and sacrifice some of the extra things you do as a family? A life insurance settlement can help ease your mind about these things by providing the funds necessary to handle the financial situation after you are gone.
If one or five times your salary will barely cover your family, then you need to seriously consider adding an additional policy for yourself.
Coverage Expires
Employer-based insurance plans are only good for as long as you are with the company. If you leave, you may only be able to take some of the coverage with you. Also, group life insurance plans are typically term policies which means, once you reach a certain age or reach the end of the policy's term, you are no longer covered. Purchasing outside life insurance will allow you to find more permanent coverage.
Termination of Coverage Possible
Your employer paid life insurance plan is offered based on an agreement between your employer and the insurance company. If your company decides to not renew their contract, you can lose your coverage. Also, if they opt to save themselves the money, they may not renew with anyone else, which leaves you without a life insurance policy.

Not what parents want to hear: school bus driver on drugs.
That's the story in Madison county, a school bus driver arrested for driving the bus while high on something according to State Troopers. 40 year old James Watwood arrested early yesterday after running of the road and hitting a mail box with the bus. No one hurt. He's charged with driving under the influence of a prescription drug. It's embarrassing for Madison schools because it turns out Watwood had a prior record — pleading guilty back in 2010 for possession of pain pills. Madison County Schools Superintendent did not take questions from reporters but issued a statement saying Watwood quit and his actions are not acceptable, but the superintendant did not say if the schools had checked his background and or if they knew about Watwood's prior drug conviction before letting him drive a bus.

The end of October typically means way too much candy — even for those with the most insatiable sweet tooth. Whether you have kids bringing home big bags of candy, or you overestimated how much you needed for trick-or-treating, chances are, you're going to need to store some for later.
If you want to enjoy your candy haul slowly, it's vital you know how to properly store your candies. If not, you could end up with a melty mess or scary flavors later on.
Candy bars are very high in sugar and low in moisture — a combination that inhibits bacterial growth. This keeps them naturally edible for really long periods of time, but you can extend their shelf-life even further with a little care.
Here are some tips from the National Confectioners Association that will leave your candy tasting fresh, long after your jack-o-lantern has gone dark.
Candy Storage in general
Different types of candy have different requirements, but generally, the pantry is a safe place to stash your sweets. If you can store candy in an airtight container, that's even better.
A number of candies can go in the freezer for long periods of time, but not all sweets are suited for this treatment. Toffee and truffles can be frozen, but candy with fruits or nuts won't fair well.
Also, don't store candies together that absorb moisture (such as caramels, mints and hard candies) with those that lose moisture (like creamy fudge). Storing these together means both tend to lose their texture and take on unappetizing qualities.
If wrapped in foil and stored in a cool, dark, dry place, dark chocolate will stay good for 1 to 2 years. A pantry or basement is usually best, but make sure there is no chance of rodent or moisture damage. Milk chocolate and white chelate have a more limited storage time. Store the same way, but don't expect it to taste as great past the 8 month mark.
Hard Candies
Hard candies (like lifesavers, lollipops, and butterscotch) can be stored for later, but there are a few things to remember when preserving these sugar-heavy treats.
Hard candies will last up to one year if stored in a cool, dry place. Make sure they're away from humidity and heat or you could be in for a misshapen mess.
Also, to keep hard candies from absorbing moisture, sprinkle them with sugar before stashing them away in an airtight glass jar. Hard candies already individually wrapped are ready to resist sticking together if a little dampness does enter the glass jar.
Gummy bears do best in a covered candy dish away from heat and light. Store at about 70ºF, if you have the option. Stored this way, soft gummies will last 6 to 9 months. If the package hasn't been opened yet, you can expect them to last as long as 12 months.
Candy corn
Opened candy corn will last for 3 to 6 months when stored away from heat. Unopened, you can get 9 to 12 months out of them. Also see, The Sweet History of Candy Corn.
Caramels and Nougat
Soft confections like caramel, nougat, and taffy are magnets for moisture and even dust — gross! Make sure these candies are wrapped tightly in plastic wrap before storing them somewhere cool, dry, and away from light. For best results, these types of candies should really be wrapped individually.
In case you get too much gum in your Halloween haul, remember to keep the package sealed and you'll still be able to enjoy it for 6 to 9 months. To maximize freshness, store separate of other candies in a cool, dry place, and out of sunlight.

Dear readers,
Imagine a situation where station commander ,ZAF Mumbwa (colonel William Lungu) has misused /abused tax money by recruiting the so called shushushu's/informers parallel to the already existing structures of military intelligence office.
He has recruited both non-commissioned and commissioned officers ,and they are about 10,who have been put on a monthly salary of K5,000,000 each apart from what they get from the govt as salaries. He is doing this at the time when the govt is reducing the subsidy in different ministry. The notables are LT MUKWANKA, warrant officer Webster Kamumbo and warrant officer GOMBWA.
He has taken the above step because he feels MIO and his assistants are reporting directly to the ministry of defence, hence he feels they are working against him. The station commander is involved in a number of activities which he feels may ruin his position as station commander. He doesn't buy food. He normally gets from the so called combined mess every month and he is given by the store man on duty.
The following are the rations he gets ,10 birds(chicken), 30kg meat,10 packets of sugar, 20 litres of cooking oil,50 kg of rice ,25 kg of flour, 2 big boxes of tilapia fish, 5 pockets of potatoes,3x24boxes of milk,20kg of pork. on groceries he just gets free of charge from NPF shop within the base .He has incorporated all officer commanding wings to be drawing food so that it looks as if it is an entitlement. The station commander is entitled to a monthly salary of k11,000,000, fuel allowance of k1,800,000 coupled with other allowances. what is surprising is that he doesn't buy fuel he intimidate/command whoever is on duty to give him fuel. This is just abuse of office of authority by a mere grade 12 certificate holder.
Beatings: the same station commander feels he is indispensable because they have worked together with the air commander in ZAF Mumbwa. so this has made him to feel that he cannot be removed, instead of following the laid down military procedures that if someone offends he/she is subjected to a punishment in form of charges/extras e.t.c but now him he is subjecting his junior officers to corporal punishment. some months ago he had assaulted /beaten captain Mwiya and a civilian worker Mr Musowe who works at the swimming pool. This is ill treating inferior officers and civilian workers who cannot revenge which is against the united nations human rights. His station warrant officer has also followed his footsteps. The recent one who was a victim to station warrant officer was corporal NHKATA was beaten and was admitted in the hospital for two days .it was supposed to be police case but they sat on it because station commander he is chairman for district joint defence council.
contracts, he did not follow the tender procedures when awarding a contract to a contractor who is putting up structures for sports facilities because ZAF Mumbwa will be hosting inter-unit sports. The airforce did not advertise the tender as stipulated by the tender act. Station commander just picked someone who is putting up a weighbridge in Mumbwa town .So what they have done is the costing have been inflated by the contractor so that he gets a cut /share. The contractor instead of buying of fuel ,ZAF was providing and ZAF personnel were also abused. Money meant for fuel was shared. The works are still on but not much has been done only shoddy works.
Security is porous in ZAF Mumbwa because station warrant officer also feels he is indispensable. He is abusing the powers that has been bestowed to him. he normally says TULI MU 18 meaning he is in the inner circle. When it comes to security matters in ZAF Mumbwa, it is very porous . It has become porous because S.W.O and his assistant has some favourites especially those from supply , accounts section and the ladies in uniform. He knows in return he will receive some favours from those junior officers from supply, they will give him food and fuel for his vehicle, those from accounts they give free salary advance,free commutation of leave days cash without recovering from his salary, ladies in uniform he usually have sex with them , the victims are SAC AKAFEKWA, MONDE MWANAMWALYA to mention a few, hence them being exempted from guard .ZAF Mumbwa is the backbone of zambia. Imagine a situation where there are six sentries on guard as vast as it is ,ZAF Mumbwa has fighter planes(jets) which zambia rely upon in case war breaks out .so where is the safety of zambians if security is porous at ZAF Mumbwa. Remember what happened at ZAF Samora Machel base in Mbala were 12 choppers were gutted to ashes. The only solution is to remove station commander from ZAF Mumbwa because he will just cost air commander's position. officers they have seen how he has amassed the resources, so the officers are reluctant to do anything. Jet -a1 is being siphoned from fuel tanks and aircraft almost on every day basis.
The supply officers have shortages ,most of the quantities are in carried forward c/f because they have failed to balance up.
Dear Mr editor, please help us ,personnel have abused,embarrassed,harrased,insulted and beaten.They have tried to air their grievances to the air commander but nothing has happened.
Yours concerned ZAF Mumbwa officers

I've got a HDMI-to-DVI adapter that I've used for my SA 8300HD DVR cable box-to-TV hook up. Works fine.
Now, I'd like to hook up my Sony KV-40XBR800 to my laptop via the laptop HDMI-out to the Sony DVI-in. Can't seem to get it to work. The computer recognizes the TV and allows the multiple display option, but I don't get any video displayed on the TV. I haven't tried anything lower than a 1280 X 720 resolution, but could try as low as 800 X 600 if that would help.
Any suggestions?

HearingMed Conducts Clinical Trial for New Laser Tinnitus Therapy
Editor: You might have heard of low level laser as a tinnitus treatment. Here's a notice about a research study that took place in California. I'm hoping we'll be able to share the results of this study with you!
HearingMed, Inc, Roseville, Calif, a provider of hearing health services, is hosting an FDA clinical trial in Sacramento, Calif, exploring the use of laser therapy to moderate or eliminate the symptoms of tinnitus. The trial is sponsored by Erchonia Medical, Inc, a provider of low-level medical lasers.
"We are pleased to bring this clinical trial to Sacramento, said Mark Moore, President of HearingMed. "We feel that this cutting-edge technology may offer a real therapeutic alternative to those who suffer from this chronic and often severe condition. Our personal experience with Erchonia lasers convinced us to host this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial."
More than 50 million Americans suffer from some degree of tinnitus, according to the American Tinnitus Association. This often chronic condition is associated with a ringing in the ears or perception of sound where there is none. Causes of this condition are complex and are not well understood.
The trial will explore how low-level laser therapy may moderate or eliminate the symptoms of tinnitus. Individuals suffering from this condition, who have an interest in being a part of this trial are invited to apply in person at the McDonald Hearing Aid Center, located at 2344 Butano Drive, Suite C3, Sacramento, Calif. Prospective participants just need to show up between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on August 20, 21, or 22 to be assessed to see if they qualify for participation. Appointments are not required.
The trial will take approximately two weeks and will consist of two office visits, self-treatments administered at home and follow-up phone calls to measure results. There is no cost associated with participation in this trial.
"We are gratified by the informal response that we have already received from friends and our tinnitus patients who have expressed an interest in participating," said Moore. "HearingMed and Erchonia are both fully committed to developing a positive new therapy for this difficult condition."

Wow! I just found another Boon Feeding Gear giveaway. Seven Dogs and a Baby are giving away a Squirt and a Snack Ball. Both of these items would be wonderful to win. We are passed the need for the Squirt but I could see it still being used just for fun by the 3 year old. The snack ball would be perfect for all those dried cereals that I usually put in ziplocks that then get crushed.
To win visit Seven Dogs and a Baby by Jan. 13.

New Bratz Pink Winter Dream Accessories!
July 31, 2012
Hey Bratz Fans!
Today we've got a cool update on the Bratz Pink Winter Dream line! In addition to the three dolls, and two big dolls, we'll also be seeing an RC Cruiser and a Snow Cabin too! Check out the photos below 🙂
Above is the pretty in pink new RC Cruiser! Some might recognize it from 2010's Moxie Girlz Magic Snow line, and last year's Bratz Platinum Shimmerz Radio Shack set, which both featured the cruiser in white.
And above is the new Snow Cabin! Again, one might recognize these molds from the Moxie Girlz Magic Snow line. Personally, we love the warmer color scheme of this year's Bratz cabin even more! But what do you think? Let us know and discuss with other Bratz fans over at our forum!

UPDATE: Bratz Pink Winter Dream
June 23, 2012
Hey Bratz Fans!
Sorry to post again just minutes after our last article, but we are proud to announce that we are the FIRST to share photos of the new Bratz Pink Winter Dream dolls' prototypes, and a photo of Cloe in her box! Check our last post for photos of the dolls as they appear on shelves. 🙂
As you can all see, Cloe and Meygan thankfully don't differ too greatly from prototype to production, but Yasmin is a whole other story! Her prototype sports a face very similar to the "Wild Life Safari" screening that MGA used on her a lot in 2009 (Spring Break Yasmin, Wild Life Yasmin, etc.) and she actually has an entirely new shoe mold as well! This line must be the sequel to Platinum Shimmerz, as a prototype from that line featured a still-unreleased boot mold too. We think the boots used on her prototype are simply amazing, and we hope MGA will incorporate it into another release somehow – it's too detailed to go unused!
And Cloe's box confirms that this fall's lines will all have packaging in the style of this spring's Funk 'n Glow/3D Dance 'n Glo line, with a box made almost entirely of colored cellophane, no interesting logos, and no artwork. This isn't something that we'd like to see become a trend, so hopefully MGA will understand our concern and revert back to their older, more innovative designs next year. 🙂

What is a Statute of Limitations? A statute created by the legislature which sets a time limit upon the length of time which may pass before a lawsuit is initiated. Generally, the statute begins to run on the day the cause of action arose or the day the injured party became aware of the cause of action; however, there are some ways in which the clock can be stopped. The advice of an experienced attorney is necessary to determine when the statute began to run and whether the statute of limitations has run out. In some cases, your attorney will be able to extend the statute of limitations.
When does the Statute of Limitations Expire?
An easy example is a personal injury (motorcycle accident, truck accident, or auto accident), the statute of limitations starts running on the day of the accident, and the case must be filed within two (2) years of the date of the accident.
Here is a quick summary of some Ohio Statutes of Limitations (See R.C. 2305 and R.C. 1302):
Assault / Battery
- 1 Year
False Imprisonment
- 1 Year
Medical / Legal Malpractice
- 1 Year
Slander / Libel
- 1 Year
Personal Injury (i.e. motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, car crashes)
- 2 Years
Product Liability
- 2 Years
Property Damage
- 2 Years
Wrongful Death
- 2 Years
- 4 Years
- 4-5 Years
Contract (oral)
- 4-6 Years
Contract (in writing)
- 4-8 Years
The Complaint is the initial document filed in a civil action. Its filing announces the claims of the Plaintiff (person suing) to the Court and to the opposing party. The Complaint in a civil action must be filed before the expiration of the Statute of Limitations.
If you are concerned that your statute of limitations has expired or is about to expire, please contact us immediately, so an attorney can help you to identify your timeline and determine what can be done to save the time or extend the time.

The human cdc2-related kinase PITALRE is the catalytic component of TAK, the Tat-associated kinase. Previously, we have proposed that TAK is a cellular factor that mediates Tat transactivation function. Here we demonstrate that transient overexpression of PITALRE specifically squelches Tat-1 activation of both a transfected and an integrated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR), suggesting that PITALRE mediates Tat function as a multiprotein complex. A catalytic mutant of PITALRE, D167N, was found to be more efficient than wild-type PITALRE in squelching Tat transactivation. Neither wild-type PITALRE nor D167N was able to squelch transactivation of the human T-cell leukemia type 1 LTR by the Tax protein. Additionally, we show that artificial targeting of PITALRE to a nascent RNA element, in the absence of Tat, activated HIV-1 LTR expression. These results indicate that a PITALRE-containing complex mediates transactivation by Tat and suggest that Tat proteins function by localizing such a PITALRE-containing complex to the site of the transcribing provirus.
The proviral genome of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and HIV-2 is transcribed by the host cell RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) complex. The viral RNAs are subject to complex patterns of splicing that yield both messenger and genomic viral RNA products. Both HIV RNA synthesis and splicing, while dependent on host functions, are subject to regulation by viral functions. Autoregulation of HIV transcription is primarily mediated by the HIV Tat protein (2, 35), and Tat function is essential for efficient virus replication (7, 9). Tat interacts directly with the nascently transcribed transactivation response region (TAR) RNA structure at the 5′ end of all viral transcripts, and this interaction is a requisite for maximal Tat-mediated upregulation of viral transcription (reviewed in reference 16). Genetic experiments have identified an activation domain within Tat that can function independently of Tat's RNA-binding domain to activate transcription (17, 33, 34, 36).
In the absence of Tat, the HIV promoter specifies primarily abortive transcription complexes, whereas in the presence of Tat, the quantity of full-length transcripts is greatly increased (18, 20, 26). These observations have suggested that the HIV-1 promoter assembles primarily transcription complexes which are subject to abortive elongation and that Tat acts by mediating an alteration of the initiated complex such that the processivity of the transcription complex is enhanced. It thus appears likely that Tat effects a discrete step during the RNAPII transcription cycle.
Genetic and biochemical data indicate the existence of one or more cellular cofactors that mediate the transcriptional effect of Tat proteins. It has been observed that the activation domains of the lentiviral Tat proteins of HIV and equine infectious anemia virus can squelch Tat transactivation, suggesting that a limiting cellular target exists (3, 22). Such a cofactor should interact specifically with the functional activation domains of Tat proteins and should enable Tat proteins to activate elongation of transcription. Studies in vitro with fractionated systems suggest that Tat-mediated transcription requires a cellular function which is not conferred by general transcription factors (37, 45). Based on biochemical observations, a number of cofactors that could constitute the cellular interface to Tat function have been proposed, including cellular general transcription factor TFIIH (11, 31), Tat-SF1 (46), and Tat-associated kinase (TAK) (14, 15, 42).
As Tat proteins act to stabilize RNAPII elongation, the biochemical events associated with RNAPII elongation have served as the basis for mechanistic analyses of Tat. Of significance in this regard are the findings that (i) elongation of RNAPII transcription can be specifically inhibited by the nucleoside analog 5,6-dichloro-1-β-d-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB) (10, 38), (ii) DRB inhibits Tat-mediated transcription (27); (iii) DRB can specifically inhibit the activities of some cellular kinases (44), and (iv) the hyperphosphorylation of RNAPII on its repetitive carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) correlates with the transition from transcription initiation to elongation (6, 29, 32). These results have suggested that a DRB-sensitive CTD kinase is required for Tat function and, further, that such a kinase could be the direct cofactor mediating Tat function. Both TFIIH (43) and TAK (15) are sensitive to DRB and are able to hyperphosphorylate the CTD of RNAPII. Further, it has been observed that the CTD of RNAPII is required for Tat function in cells (4, 30, 42) and that purified Tat is able to enhance CTD phosphorylation in vitro by TFIIH and, perhaps, other kinases (11, 31). Thus, it seems probable that a Tat cofactor is a DRB-sensitive kinase(s) which can phosphorylate RNAPII on its CTD.
Recent experiments in this laboratory (41) indicate that the 42-kDa phosphorylated protein which copurifies with TAK activity is a previously identified cdc2-related protein kinase, PITALRE (13). PITALRE is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, has no apparent cell cycle regulation, and associates with several additional cellular proteins in vivo (12, 13). Antibodies to PITALRE deplete HeLa cell nuclear extracts of TAK activity, indicating that PITALRE is an essential component of TAK. PITALRE-containing complexes can hyperphosphorylate the CTD, suggesting that PITALRE is the CTD kinase present in the TAK complex. Additionally, we have observed that TAK can be activated in peripheral blood lymphocytes and promonocytic cell lines, suggesting that regulation of TAK catalytic function is one mechanism underlying the sensitivity of HIV to its cellular environment (41). It is notable that PITALRE is expressed at high levels in lymphoid tissue relative to other human tissues (8).
To determine the role of TAK in Tat-mediated viral transcription, in this study, wild-type PITALRE or catalytically inactive mutant PITALRE was transiently overexpressed and the resultant effect on transactivation of the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR) by Tat-1 was observed. Additionally, we determined whether PITALRE could activate the transcription of the HIV-1 LTR when targeted directly to a promoter-proximal RNA element. These studies have provided evidence that TAK mediates Tat's transactivation function in vivo.
Transiently expressed wild-type PITALRE and catalytic mutant D167N specifically associate with Tat in vitro.Plasmid expression vectors were constructed that express a FLAG epitope-tagged wild-type or mutant PITALRE. The mutant protein, termed D167N, contains a substitution of asparagine for aspartic acid at residue 167 which inactivates catalytic function (12). To verify that the plasmids express stable proteins and that the D167N mutation disrupts catalytic function, HeLa cells were transfected with FLAG vector, PITALRE, or D167N plasmid DNA. At 72 h posttransfection, lysates were prepared and immunoprecipitation was carried out with anti-FLAG antibodies, followed by in vitro kinase assays (Fig.1A). The results demonstrated that a 46-kDa autophosphorylated product was present in PITALRE-transfected cells which was absent in D167N-transfected cells, confirming disruption of PITALRE catalysis by the D167N substitution. Immunoprecipitation of lysates with anti-FLAG antibodies followed by immunoblotting with PITALRE antibodies demonstrated equivalent expression levels for PITALRE and D167N (Fig. 1A).
To determine whether the transiently expressed PITALRE proteins were capable of specific association with Tat proteins, in vitro glutathioneS-transferase (GST) "pull-down" assays were performed with wild-type HIV-2 Tat (Tat-2) and the transactivation-defective C59A Tat-2 mutant protein. An immunoblot performed with anti-PITALRE antibodies indicated that endogenous HeLa PITALRE and both recombinant PITALRE and D167N associated with the GST fusion to wild-type but not mutant Tat-2 (Fig. 1B). We conclude from these experiments that the D167N mutant lacks a detectable catalytic function and, like wild-type PITALRE, is able to specifically associate in a TAK complex with Tat-2.
PITALRE association with Tat proteins could require that PITALRE first assemble into a complex with other cellular factors. Using baculovirus-expressed PITALRE and Escherichia coli-expressed PITALRE, we have been unable to observe a specific association between PITALRE and Tat proteins in vitro (unpublished observations). The ability of recombinant PITALRE isolated from cells to associate with Tat-2 in vitro, as shown in Fig. 1B, may require an additional human cellular component. Likely candidates for such an additional component(s) include the cyclin partner of PITALRE.
PITALRE overexpression in HeLa cells inhibits transactivation by Tat-1.To examine the effects of overexpression of wild-type and catalytic mutant PITALRE proteins on Tat function in vivo, HeLa cells were cotransfected with an HIV-1 LTR luciferase reporter plasmid, a Tat-1 expression plasmid, and a plasmid expressing PITALRE or D167N (Fig. 2A). Measurement of luciferase activities 72 h posttransfection and normalization to β-galactosidase activities from an internal reference plasmid indicated that Tat-1 activated reporter expression 55-fold in the presence of the parental FLAG vector. PITALRE overexpression resulted in 2.7-fold inhibition of Tat transactivation function, and overexpression of D167N resulted in 5.8-fold inhibition of transactivation. Overexpression of the wild-type and D167N proteins had relatively little effect on basal-level expression of the HIV-1 LTR luciferase plasmid; in several independent experiments, the wild-type and D167N proteins reduced basal expression from 1.1-fold to 1.4-fold and from 1.3-fold to 1.9-fold, respectively (also see Fig. 3).
To analyze the specificity of inhibition by PITALRE overexpression, we examined the transactivation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) LTR by its cognate Tax transactivator protein. HeLa cells were cotransfected with an HTLV-1 LTR luciferase reporter plasmid, a Tax expression plasmid, and PITALRE plasmids (Fig. 2B). Measurement of luciferase and β-galactosidase activities indicated 290-fold Tax activation in the presence of the FLAG parent vector, 433-fold activation upon PITALRE overexpression, and 1,260-fold activation upon overexpression of D167N. In multiple separate experiments, D167N reproducibly enhanced Tax transactivation 1.5- to 4.4-fold. The significance of the increase in Tax transactivation by overexpression of the D167N protein is unclear. However, our results imply that PITALRE function may repress the expression of some promoters such as the HTLV-1 LTR. Such a possibility has a precedent in the yeast SRB10 protein, which is a homolog of mammalian CDK8; SRB10 is a CTD kinase, and genetic evidence indicates that it can function as both an activator and a suppressor of transcription (19, 21, 24, 40).
Overexpression of the wild-type and D167N proteins did not significantly affect basal-level expression of the HTLV-1 LTR (Fig. 2). We conclude from these experiments that transactivation of the HTLV-1 LTR by Tax was not inhibited by PITALRE or PITALRE-D167N expression, indicating that PITALRE overexpression does not generally squelch activated transcription. It may be noteworthy that Tax function does not require the CTD of RNAPII (4).
In the experiment presented in Fig. 2, the Tat, Tax, and PITALRE proteins were expressed from the same cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter; therefore, it is highly unlikely that the levels of inhibition of Tat transactivation by the wild-type and D167N PITALRE proteins can be explained by reduced Tat protein levels. These results indicate that both wild-type PITALRE and D167N, upon overexpression in HeLa cells, can specifically squelch Tat-mediated transactivation. The ability of wild-type overexpressed PITALRE to squelch Tat function suggests that TAK function requires one or more subunits in addition to PITALRE, such that overexpression of one subunit disrupts the stoichiometry of the functional complex. The observation that D167N squelches Tat function more efficiently than does wild-type PITALRE suggests that the catalytic function of PITALRE is important for TAK function and is consistent with our previously proposed model that the function of TAK during HIV transcription is to phosphorylate the CTD of RNAPII (15).
PITALRE overexpression inhibits transactivation of an integrated HIV-1 LTR.To determine whether PITALRE overexpression could inhibit Tat activation of an integrated HIV-1 LTR, we examined Jurkat T-cell line 1G5, which contains an integrated HIV-1 LTR with luciferase as the reporter protein (1). 1G5 cells were cotransfected by electroporation with a Tat-1 expression plasmid and a PITALRE or D167N expression plasmid (Fig. 3). Measurement of Tat-induced luciferase activities at 24 h posttransfection yielded 60.1 luciferase U in the presence of the parental vector, 18.4 U upon wild-type PITALRE overexpression, and 7.8 U upon D167N overexpression. No inhibition of basal luciferase units by PITALRE or D167N was observed. Therefore, in 1G5 cells, PITALRE overexpression inhibited Tat-induced luciferase expression 3.3-fold, while D167N overexpression inhibited Tat-induced luciferase expression 7.7-fold.
The observed effect of PITALRE overexpression in 1G5 cells is consistent with results observed in HeLa cells. Both wild-type PITALRE and D167N squelch Tat-mediated transactivation, and D167N squelches more efficiently than wild-type PITALRE. These results obtained with 1G5 cells indicate, additionally, that PITALRE overexpression can squelch Tat-1-mediated transactivation of an integrated HIV-1 LTR.
PITALRE fused to Rev activates an HIV-1 LTR containing an RRE in place of TAR.Our observation that Tat associates with TAK led us to suggest the model for the mechanism of action of Tat shown in Fig.4A. This model proposes that by binding to TAR RNA, Tat is able to functionally recruit TAK to the RNAPII complex, leading to hyperphosphorylation of the CTD and a resultant activation of transcription (15). To test this model, we investigated whether gene expression directed by the HIV-1 LTR sequences can be activated in vivo by direct recruitment of PITALRE to a promoter-proximal RNA element. For these experiments, we utilized an HIV-1 LTR-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter plasmid containing the minimal HIV-1 Rev response element (RRE) in place of the TAR element (39). This reporter has been shown to be activated by fusions of the Rev protein to Tat or herpesvirus VP16, but not by the other transcriptional activators tested (23, 39).
Plasmids for the expression of PITALRE-Rev or a control Cdk2-Rev fusion protein were constructed and used in cotransfection experiments. Measurement of CAT activities at 72 h posttransfection indicated that PITALRE-Rev expression activated the SLIIB-CAT reporter (wild-type RRE) 4.5-fold, while Cdk2-Rev expression did not activate the CAT reporter (Fig. 5). Reporter activation by PITALRE-Rev required targeting of the fusion protein to the SLIIB element, as a reporter bearing a mutated SLIIB element (ΔRRE) was not activated by PITALRE-Rev. In an additional experiment, we compared activation of the reporter plasmid by PITALRE-Rev and Tat-Rev fusion proteins (Fig. 5B). The Tat-Rev protein was considerably more active, resulting in 37-fold activation versus 4.8-fold activation by the PITALRE-Rev protein.
The observation that PITALRE targeted to a nascent RNA element, in the absence of Tat, can activate HIV-1 LTR-driven gene expression is consistent with the suggestion that PITALRE can act as a transcription activator. The relatively low levels of activation by PITALRE-Rev may indicate that other factors, such as its cyclin partner or additional TAK components, are needed to reconstitute the total functional entity that is interfaced by Tat.
While this report was in preparation, we became aware of two recent studies describing the involvement of PITALRE in Tat transactivation (25, 47). Those studies further demonstrated that TAK is similar to human pTEFb, an activity first described in in vitro transcription studies with Drosophila extracts (28). Using an vitro transcription assay, both studies demonstrated that PITALRE is required for Tat transactivation in vitro. Additionally, one study also investigated the effect of transient overexpression of PITALRE on Tat transactivation in vivo (25); however, those data, in contrast to the results presented here, indicate activation of Tat function by overexpression of wild-type PITALRE. The reason for this discrepancy with our results is not apparent and may reflect the different experimental protocols used. However, our finding that overexpression of wild-type PITALRE can inhibit Tat function is consistent with the proposal that PITALRE functions in vivo as a multiprotein complex. In agreement with our results, in this recent study it was also observed that a catalytic mutant of PITALRE does inhibit Tat transactivation (25). Taken together, recent work by several laboratories has demonstrated that PITALRE does, indeed, mediate Tat transactivation. Studies are now possible to explore the details of the molecular mechanisms of Tat transactivation.

DJ Khaled has dropped a new song called "Top Off" featuring Beyoncé, her husband, Jay-Z, and Future. And the Internet strongly believes that Queen Bey is going after Tiffany Haddish.
In the song, Beyoncé raps: "My body, my ice, my cash, all real, I'm a triple threat. F**k it up and then leave, come back, f*** it up and leave again. Top off the coupe, and it looks like Freaknik
In the hood, hollering, "Free Meek."
Two deep, it's just Jay and me
Just posted in them courtside seats
Woo! I'm like hold' up…
Woo! I might roll up
If they tryna party with the queen
They gon' have to sign a non-disclosure."
People say the non-disclosure line is for Haddish and this is the reason.
In the latest episode of TV One's Uncensored, Miss Haddish talked about how Beyoncé fiercely protected her man when another lady tried to invade their privacy.
The comedy queen revealed an incident that occurred during a party after JAY-Z's concert in December.
Haddish had been chatting in a friendly manner with the famous rapper and mogul when another actress approached him and touched his chest.
It did not take long for Beyoncé to step in and defend her property. The Texan singer walked aggressively and started talking to the unnamed actress.
Apparently, things did not end there, and there was more than the heated exchange. However, Haddish has decided not to reveal the rest of the juicy story.
She also spoke about a viral picture she and Queen B took the same evening.
According to her, the selfie was meant to be a little gift to prevent an eventual fight between Haddish and another lady at the party.
It is possible that the actress, who was flirting with JAY-Z, is the same woman who almost got in trouble with Beyoncé and Haddish.
However, the celebrities decided to act diplomatic and have fun and took pictures instead.
One fan said about the song: "It was tons of people talking about Beyoncé at parties, not just tiff. Tiff story the only that went viral."
Another commenter added: "That has nothing to do with Tiffany since the track was done before they met. I'm sorry, but I don't hear "Tiffany" anywhere on Beyoncé's part.. lol somebody point it out to mee lol."
The event described by Haddish happened following JAY-Z's confession about not staying faithful to his partner of nearly a decade.
The rapper expressed his regrets about cheating and apologized to his wife in public during an episode of CNN's The Van Jones Show.
Beyoncé also dropped a line, "I break the Internet/Top two and I ain't number two," but Kylie Jenner's baby, Stormi, has the most-liked photo on social media.

Schools in the Christchurch say they are still struggling to support children who are showing signs of quake-related stress.
They say some schools cannot afford to hire social workers to help them, and when they refer children to mental health services it can be six months before they are seen.
The immediate past president of the Canterbury Primary Principal's Association and Isleworth Primary School principal, Jeanette Shearer, said children were struggling in a number of different ways.
"It varies, you see children who are very quiet and withdrawn, you see children that... it comes out in perhaps behavioural issues... they're unable to manage [their] behaviour very well,
"We also get reports from parents who tell us their children are terribly anxious at home, we have reports of children still sleeping in the same room as their parents because of anxiety," Ms Shearer said.
Avondale Primary School was one of four schools that closed last year to make way for a new super school.
Its former principal, Mark Scown, said up until the school's last day in December, he was seeing quake-related behaviour issues in children, including in some born after the event.
"And yet they were still living within homes that conceivably were still broken or on streets that were still damaged, so whilst they didn't have memories of the earthquake... they seem to be of the legacy of some of the social issues that are happening still in parts of our community.
Banks Avenue Primary School principal Toni Burnside said while not all children were dealing with quake-related issues, the quakes increased the number of children needing help.
She said her school was paying to get a councillor in once a week to help support struggling children.
"That comes out of our operations grant, but that should be readily available, not [us] trying to have that bake sale to get the extra support that is needed."
She said the Ministry of Education needed to do more to help.
"One day a week is just really dipping our toes in it, so if we could give some of these children anger counselling, or some counselling to deal with the grief loss and disappointment, or to work on their anxiety then it wouldn't be so much managing the behaviour as actually fixing the problem."
Ms Sherer said another children who were referred to the Canterbury District Health Board for mental health services faced long waiting times.
"It's very difficult, you can refer children to mental health services but unfortunately the waiting list is very very long, so a child might need the help now but we could be waiting at times up to 26 weeks for that help to be put in place."
Ms Burnside said there were children in her school with depression who were on a six-month long waiting list to be seen by a counsellor.
Neither the Ministry of Education nor the Canterbury DHB agreed to be interviewed, but in a statement the Ministry of Education said an extra $10 million had been put into supporting the city's education workforce and services for children with additional needs.
The Canterbury DHB said in a statement the average waiting times for children were about 16 weeks, but most children were seen within three weeks of a referral so clinicians could decide whether their case was urgent.

Fed Chair Powell spoke, and he is still reducing the balance sheet -- and the markets did not freak out. It's time to step in and cherry pick stocks because I think we are going to go up to at least the 50-day moving average at this point. While Facebook still has problems, personally I think Instagram will end up being worth more than Facebook is anyway. I think there is huge potential in WhatsApp, too. Heck, my father-in-law used it! Facebook earnings are due at the end of the month, and I think I want to own it. February $150 calls cost about $4.70. I can sell the $165 calls against it at $1.05.

Dolgellau patients to lose NHS dentist after mydentist confirms closure
Patients in Dolgellau are set to lose out on access to NHS dentistry in the town after mydentist confirmed the imminent closure of its Mervinian House practice.
The practice, which has more than 4,000 patients on its books, will close at the end of March as a result of a shortage of dentists. The chain has been trying to recruit a new dentist for around 2 years without any success, and now patients face a trip to Welshpool, Porthmadog or Penrhyndeudraeth to see an NHS dentist.
Clinical director at mydentist, Steve Williams, said that the practice will have to close as a result of a shortage of dentists in the area. There aren't currently enough dentists working in rural Wales, and attempts to find suitable candidates for the vacant positions in Dolgellau have proven unsuccessful. The firm has been trying to recruit a dentist for two years, and it's simply not possible to run the surgery any longer.
Deputy mayor Delwyn Evans described the news as a "great shame" and said that it was "very sad" that the town will lose the practice. It took a lot of effort to get a dental practice in Dolgellau a few years ago, and now the council and dental patients are back to square one.
The news will be particularly worrying for patients who find it difficult to get out and about, with the nearest practice a bus or car journey away.Join this Discussion

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Since President Donald Trump took office on January 20, 2017, he is fulfilling his promise to appoint judges who will set aside their personal views and political prejudices in order to protect and honor the Constitution and the rule of law. President Trump's judicial accomplishments so far include:
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, "This is a historic time in our nation when President Trump has appointed more judicial nominees, including two justices to the High Court, than any other president. Unlike prior Republican presidents who nominated some judges that were judicial activists, President Trump has consistently nominated people who are committed to originalism. Judges who interpret the law according to the Constitution are critical for maintaining the rule of law and the proper balance of the three branches of government. President Trump is already creating a legacy that will last for decades," said Staver.
Liberty Counsel is a nonprofit, litigation, education, and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family since 1989, by providing pro bono assistance and representation on these and related topics. Liberty Counsel provides broadcast quality TV interviews via Hi-Def Skype and LTN at no cost.

Amonsot (30) will be facing Dominican Julio de Jesus (24-1) for the vacant WBA-NABA super lightweight title. Twin brothers Andrew and Jason Moloney face their next test for 2016 with Jason facing his toughest opponent to date; the WBC Eurasia Pacific Boxing Council Bantamweight Champion Jeffrey Francisco (14-1-1), whilst Andrew faces a former opponent of his brother, Markquil Salvana (11-1).
In a rematch that is taking place almost exactly a year after their first clash, Paul Morrison looks to enact revenge against a much-improved Jayde Mitchell (8-1). Prior to defending his Victorian Super Lightweight Title on August 26th at the Melbourne Pavilion against Andrew Wallace, the current Victorian champion Cameron Eyes (6-0) will look to get in a 4-round fight on the Green undercard against the tough Brent Dames (2-2).
To tune in to Danny Green vs. Kane Watts, order the fight on the Main Event Channel. To check out an exclusive Q&A with the Victorian fighters featured on the undercard of Green vs Watts, continue reading below.
How excited are you to be fighting on one of the biggest Australian cards this year? What does the experience mean for you? Being one of the biggest stages in Australia, do you feel pressured to go out there and put on a clinic?
Jason Moloney: "Yes, I'm very excited to be fighting on the biggest show so far in 2016. The experience of fighting on the biggest stage and performing in front of these huge crowds is priceless! Of course there is a bit of added pressure to perform in front of such a big crowd but I feel like I thrive under this sort of pressure. This is what it's all about, I have big dreams and if I want to achieve them then I have to be able to perform my best on the big stage. It gives me that extra motivation to keep working hard and hopefully one day I can headline a show of this size!"
Andrew Moloney: "I'm absolutely pumped to again be fighting on the undercard of my idol Danny Green. This is going to be great experience for me fighting on such a big card, in front of a massive crowd; I believe these big crowds bring the best out of me. Of course there is always pressure to perform on fight night no matter where the fight is, this is why I train so hard and make all the sacrifices needed to make sure I am at my very best come fight time."
Jayde Mitchell: "I don't feel pressured, I feel excited that's for sure. It's the biggest card of boxing for 2016 in Australia so it's really good to get a gig on the card. Most of all I'm rapt to be sharing my good friend Sugar Kane's big moment with him. It's also good to be on the same card as my good mates the Moloney brothers. It's going to be a great night on the big stage. It's all very exciting."
Czar Amonsot: "I'm very happy and excited to fight on one of the biggest Australian cards. Every fight for me is very important especially at this point of my career I don't want to lose. After I lost in Vegas in 2007 and I made my comeback in 2009, I promised to myself once I lose again I am done in my career as a boxer. Every single fight gives me a pressure because I still love the sport I always think as long as I can do it, I will."
Cameron Eyes: "Having the opportunity to fight on Australia's biggest fight card this year is a great privilege and reward for all the hard work and sacrifice I put into my training. It's going to be a huge night, one that I've been looking forward to for a while now and can't wait to get out there and show Australia what I can do. With thousands of people in attendance and plenty more watching on TV the pressure is on to perform well. Every time you enter the ring you put your reputation, record and pride on the line and this time is no different though the grand scale of this event makes it that much more important. You never know who is going to be watching and what opportunities may arise from it."
How do you feel in the lead up to your fight; how has the training camp been, and how do you think you'll match up with your opponent on August 3rd?
Jason Moloney: "I'm feeling great going into this fight! I have had a very active year in the ring, this being my 4th fight of the year so my fitness is as good as ever! My opponent Jeffrey Francisco has a record of 14 wins with only 1 defeat. We have had a good look at him and have worked hard in the gym on developing a game plan to come away with the win."
Andrew Moloney: "This has been a great training camp. This is one of the first fights I am going into without any injuries or sickness so I am looking forward to putting on a great show. I am expecting a hard fight from Markquil Salvana, he fought my brother Jason so we have studied him a lot, and he is a good boxer. I have prepared for a hard fight and I plan on coming out victorious and improving my record to 9-0."
Czar Amonsot: "Yeah I think it will be a good fight. My opponents record has got a good resume on it and I think this fighter wants to win as much as me. We've done all the hard work at the gym with my trainer Rey Giles and all my team that help me sparring as well- I know I'm ready to go and I hope my opponent is the same too. It's gonna be a good night for sure."
Jayde Mitchell: "Training camp has been great. It's really professional now; since the start of the year when I made the choice to become a full time athlete. The old cliché of no stone unturned is spot on with where I'm at. As far as the match-up with Paul Morrison, I feel confident. I feel as though he's been fighting people at a far lower level than I have. Since our fight last year I've really stepped it up, and am no longer experiencing the injuries I was last year. I think they're going to come out and pressure me and try and jump on me, but by doing so, they're only going to open themselves up."
Cameron Eyes: "Training leading up into the fight has been great. We have sourced sparring similar to that of what we expect on the night and have been working on a few things to complement that. With 2 wins 2 losses Brent is no one to underestimate. A former kickboxer, he has plenty of ring experience but I believe fitness, determination and pressure will be too much for him. Being only 4 rounds you can bet we will both be going for it."
How are you planning on ending 2016? Do you have any big fights on the horizon, or any plans for the future?
Jason Moloney: "At this stage our focus is on August 3 but we do plan to fight again in October and possibly December. Finishing the year with 6 tough fights under my belt is fantastic for the development of my career."
Andrew Moloney: "I plan to have one or two more fights this year, which will make it 5 or 6 fights in total for 2016. I am hoping to defend my WBA Oceania title in at least one of these fights and hopefully earn myself a world rating."
Jayde Mitchell: "I know that Ryan (Breese) is battling his own injuries at the moment, he's got the exact same injury that I had coming in to our fight last year. I respect that, and I wish him a speedy recovery and all the best. That being said I'd love to fight Ryan again later in the year. After this fight with Morrison it looks like we'll be off to the US again; we'll be training and potentially fighting over there."
Cameron Eyes: As for the rest of 2016 I have already got one fight lined up on the Team Ellis show on the 26th of August which I will be defending my Victorian Super Lightweight Title against Andrew Wallace. Apart from that all future plans will be discussed with my team after August.

If you've been relying on the same digital marketing strategy for years, you could be missing out on new opportunities. The way consumers engage with the Internet is constantly evolving, and if you're not keeping an eye on the future you may already be behind.
As a tech company, it is especially important that you are able to reach your target audience in the most relevant way possible.
Below, we're sharing five important digital marketing strategies that could help you improve your business and get a leg up on your competitors. Read on to learn more, so that you can be the best tech company possible for your clients.
1. Optimise Your Search Engine Ranking
Search engine optimization has evolved far beyond the days of stuffing keywords into blog posts. Your content needs to be more authentic and engaging. When creating content for your website, think of it as storytelling.
Your keywords will come across as more natural, and visitors will spend more time on your page engaging with the content. That will boost your SEO ranking and attract even more people to your site.
2. Refine Your Email Marketing
For companies in the technology sector, email marketing is more important now than ever. When done correctly, email marketing can be a powerful tool for connecting with current and potential clients.
In order for your email marketing campaigns to be effective, they have to be authentic. The standards are higher than ever, but that's a good thing. Push your email marketing team to develop content that is more targeted than ever. The more valuable information you can provide, the more people will want to engage.
3. Focus on Social Media Marketing
Social media is no longer just a pastime of the millennial generation. It is a powerful tool that can and should be used to engage with clients. It may seem intimidating at first, especially if you don't have a lot of social experience, but it is easier than you think.
The important thing to remember is that you don't have to be on every platform. Look at the industry trends and see what social media platforms your peers and competitors are on. It's better to deliver great content that will convert users on a few platforms than to try and do it all.
4. Do a Website Audit
Investing in digital marketing is an important way you can drive potential clients and customers to your website. But the work doesn't end there. When they get to your page and are interacting with your site, they need to have a positive experience there in order to convert.
Take a critical look at each page on your site and determine if it's set up in the best way possible. You want it to be easy for anyone visiting your site to find the information they need.
5. Analyse Everything
There is no point in spending money on digital marketing that doesn't actually work. Take advantage of analytical tools so that you can evaluate your strategies periodically. If something is costing you more money than it's bringing you, you want to be aware of that right away so you can make changes.
Ready to Implement Digital Marketing Strategies?
For your tech company, digital marketing strategies can make the difference your business's success. The more thoughtful and informed you are, the better payoff you'll see.

The Newberger watchers at City Pages picked up on the endorsed Republican Senate candidate's "no go zone" statement in Detroit Lakes in GOP candidate Jim Newberger ready to protect Minnesota from Muslim control. Bluestem's take is found in Newberger campaigns for Senate by evoking imaginary no-go zone in Dearborn MI.
Newberger provides plenty of fodder for cheeky journalists and bloggers. On the day DL Online posted the article from which the "no-go zone" remarks appear, the Fergus Falls Journal reported in Newberger offers new perspective:
Responding to what sets him apart from his other primary challengers, Newberger reflected on his experiences saying, "I want to let folks know that I am a blue-collar guy. I really am. I have been all of my life. I've worked 20 years as a paramedic. Down in the metro I worked at a Level 1 trauma center. I am also a current state representative. I serve in the Minnesota house. I am in my third term… I am a conservative person both fiscally and socially."
Describing himself Newberger stated that, "I'm a traditional guy. I have been married for 28 years. I've got three daughters they are all in their 20s. I went to Moorhead State and I graduated in my senior year from St. Cloud State. I have been in the house now for six years. I am very in touch with rural Minnesota because the house district I represent, I have 19 townships. I've been really plugged into the rural and agricultural issues since day one."
Blue collar work, college education. As for his district, two of the three counties he represents are considered by House Republicans to be metro, as we noted in The funny thing about the "metro" and "rural" split for Minnesota school safety bonding funds.
More recently, WCCO CBS Minnesota reported in Several Minnesota Republicans Remain Silent As Both Sides Rip Trump's Summit Remarks:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a strong Trump supporter, called the president's remarks "the worst mistake of his presidency." . . .
Minnesota political leaders are mirroring the divide at the national level, with some — but not all — Republicans criticizing the president, even after he walked back his statements on Tuesday.
Democrats, as a whole, are strongly condemning the president for his initial comments, in which he indicated that he did not believe the findings of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Republican Rep. Erik Paulsen offered a scathing assessment on Twitter, writing: "President Trump's performance in Helsinki was embarrassing. An American President taking the side of a Russian dictator over American intelligence agencies is dangerous."
Paulsen is also not convinced by the president's saying that he misspoke.
"The bottom line: Russia is not our ally," he said. "They are an adversary. They need to be confronted over their hostile actions."
The Minnesota Republican Party, however, issued a statement supporting the president and so did Republican State Rep. Jim Newberger, who is running against Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
"To me, it looks like a D.C.-centered media feeding frenzy," he said, adding: "I think, overall, he is doing a great job and he has my support."
Okay then. We'll miss his unique voice in the Minnesota House, where he's said the darnedest things.

Air passenger outraged over £3.20 bacon roll
An air passenger in Glasgow claims to have spent £3.20 on what could be the world's stingiest bacon and egg sandwich.
The photo of the snack – a large, apparently unbuttered roll containing a sliver of meat and a woefully inadequate helping of egg – was shared by the Reddit user "spambox".
"This is what a £3.20 bacon and egg roll from Edinburgh Airport looks like," wrote the outraged diner, who said it was purchased from a branch of the café chain EAT.
"I never asked for a refund as I figured it must just be overpriced **** cause it's an airport," he added.
Edinburgh Airport apologised on behalf of EAT Photo: GETTY
"The part that made it worse was that they told me to take a seat and they'd bring it over. The only empty table was clearly empty because it hadn't been cleaned for what appeared to be weeks and then after 15 minutes I had to go back and ask where my roll was which they had totally forgotten about."
• The world's best passenger complaint letter?
"As miffed as I was about the terrible service as soon as I opened it I burst out laughing as did my girlfriend because, well, look at it. It's so bad it's funny."
Others users also saw the funny side, joking that the egg must have been laid by a hummingbird, or that the yolk had been painted on. Another suggested that the bacon rasher has come from a micro pig.
One Reddit user joked that the egg was laid by a hummingbird Photo: GETTY
A spokesman from Edinburgh Airport told The Scotsman: "We work closely with all of our food and beverage providers to ensure we offer customers the best choice of refreshments and service.
"Sadly on this occasion we fell below the mark and offer our apologies to this customer. Clearly this is not the service we should be providing and we will be addressing this complaint with EAT."
The incident recalls the infamous complaint letter addressed to Virgin Atlantic boss Sir Richard Branson after a disappointing meal service on board a flight to Heathrow.
That passenger described a "culinary journey of hell" involving "beige matter", baajis in custard and "more mustard than any man could consume in a month".
