Ready to Attack the Track Completely redesigned for 2021, this World Cup weapon comes equipped with an updated version of Fox's award-winning GRIP2 damper, an updated EVOL air spring, and a host of other radical new performance-driven features. GRIP2 Fox's GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise on-the-fly adjustability. For 2021, They've taken GRIP2 to the next level by adding their patented VVC technology to the high-speed compression circuit. VVC is a proprietary variable valve control system that allows for external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 achieves with the twist of a knob what typically requires the time consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork. FLOAT EVOL EVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimizing small bump sensitivity. EVOL's linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tunable bottom-out progression. The benefits of EVOL are further enhanced by Fox's new Lower Leg channels and Bleeders, which both function to reduce air pressure captured in the lower legs, allowing the EVOL air spring to operate freely without unintended interference. Lower Leg Arch Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours pouring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. Fox's all-new lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding.

Ecobuild 2014: Delivering Responsible Retrofit – using DECC/STBA Guidance Wheel & Knowledge Centre
Neil May, Technical Lead and Co-Chair, Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance talked at Ecobuild 2014 about delivering responsible retrofit – using the DECC/STBA Guidance Wheel and Knowledge Centre.
The challenge of refurbishing traditional, heritage and protected properties is to improve their energy efficiency whilst retaining the aesthetics, character and features of the buildings and achieving this at an acceptable cost. However with the scale of retrofit required a responsible approach is imperative. This session will give an understanding of which measures carry the most benefit and least risk in terms of rebound effects and unintended consequences and how a robust approach to retrofit can be achieved whilst retaining character.

India's first tradable base metal futures in indices available for trading on MCX from October 19
The investment and spending culture in India is changing of late owing to the impact of Covid-19.
JSW Steel Ltd (NSE: JSWSTEEL) is an Indian steel making company based in Mumbai, Maharashtra.
Author: IANS/Thursday, August 3, 2017/Categories: Telecom
New Delhi: India would increase its domestic localisation rate from 6.1% in 2016 to 25.8% in 2019 that will bring Rs 31,000 crore in value via local sourcing and assembly of smartphones and accessories, a new report said on August 2.
According to the report published jointly by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and Enixta Innovations, this is a big opportunity for entrepreneurs and could reduce India's dependence on tech imports.
"There is a high possibility to build local sourcing capabilities for mobile phone components such as battery pack, non-electronic parts, accessories, packaging etc. though the main electronic components will require a longer tenure to be sourced locally," the report said.
India is the second largest smartphone market in the world in terms of number of users, connecting more than 292 million people across the country.
The country is projected to become the single biggest market for global smartphone sales in the next few years and could realise the grand vision of a "$1 trillion digital economy".
"In the next 5-10 years, 25% or 30% of the global economy will be actually determined by the digital economy. He said that the internet economy is the biggest opportunity in India and has the potential to be bigger than the ITeS industry, going forward," said Dr Ajay Kumar, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
According to the report, "38 new mobile manufacturing units -- of which half are in Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana -- have been set-up between September 2015 and October 2016, with manufacturing capacity of 20 million units per month, generating close to 40,000 direct jobs and 1.25 lakh indirect employment."
The size of the domestic mobile manufacturing industry in financial year 2019-20 is expected to be Rs 135,000 crore as compared to Rs 94,000 crore in the financial year 2016-17.
"For smartphones, the market size of domestic manufacturing in financial year 2019-20 will be Rs 120,200 crore," the report said.
Two out of every three mobile phones sold in India in 2016 were domestically produced. It is estimated that by 2020, nearly 96% of the mobile phones to be sold in India will be locally manufactured.

"Ant-Man" is Marvel's latest success story and one of their better releases
Back when Avengers: Age of Ultron was about to hit theaters, I ranked the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, 11 films at the time. Now, with Ant-Man the latest MCU release coming this weekend, I'm going to go ahead and re-rank Marvel's titles. I'll have more to say about Ant-Man than the others, of course, but essentially I'm just slotting in Paul Rudd's diminutive hero into the old list, particularly since this list will continue to be in flux over the next few years. What Peyton Reed and company accomplished with this one is worth taking note of, but 2016 and beyond offers plenty more Marvel to get excited about. As such, this list will pop up again before long. In the meantime though, it's fun to see how it looks with a new movie added in.
Quickly, a few initial thoughts on Ant-Man. In short (no pun intended), it's quite good and works in spite of a tonal oddity. What I mean by that is Edgar Wright's DNA is still very much there, despite Wright having left the project and not directing it like he initially intended to. His script is still partially used though, so at times this is an above average Marvel flick and at others it's a really offbeat pseudo Wright movie. The end result is a lot of fun, if slightly quaint by current MCU standards. Rudd and Reed have a blast and it rubs off on you. This isn't as good as Marvel's best, but it's not nearly as far off as you'd think.
Like last time, one thing to keep in mind is that this list is going to change in a hurry. In less than a year, Phase Three will be in full swing for the MCU and Kevin Feige's big plan for cinematic world domination. That next stage will bring Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange in 2016, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, the untitled new Spider-Man movie (rumored to be called Spider-Man: The New Avenger), and Thor: Ragnarok in 2017, Avengers: Infinity War Part 1, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel in 2018, and finally Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 and Inhumans in 2019. After that, I'm sure we'll have an Ant-Man sequel at some point, among others. Basically, expect this list to get updated more than once in the years to come…
Here now are all of the current installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ranked once again:
12. Thor: The Dark World – If this is the worst that Marvel can do, we're in a good place. Thoroughly acceptable but without much of a spark, this sequel has Thor pretty much doing the same thing as in the first one. The enjoyably larger role for Loki saves it from turning into a slog.
11. The Incredible Hulk – More a byproduct of not knowing how to use Hulk properly than anything else, this shows Marvel as a studio still finding their footing in the world. The fact that it's more or less not referred to at all in the canon of the MCU should be telling, though it's not unenjoyable at all. Still, this and the title above are the clear weak links.
10. Iron Man 2 – The one film in the series that got too concerned with setting up The Avengers, there's plenty to like here with Tony Stark/Iron Man just as fun as always. At the same time though, it's a bare bones plot where the sequel building is unfortunately the prime focus. It's middle of the road for Marvel in just about every way.
9. Thor – From here on out, the titles move to the good/very good/great range, with the God of Thunder perhaps just suffering from being their least interesting character. There's nothing wrong with this movie, and the Hawkeye cameo is pretty cool, but it's on the forgettable side, that's for sure.
8. Iron Man 3 – Making this the Tony Stark show as opposed to watching him just use the suit for two hours was a top notch decision. Besides just showcasing Robert Downey, Jr. in a big way, it mixes up the formula, which was needed. If they make an Iron Man 4, it'll partially be based on the success found here.
7. Captain America: The First Avenger – A bit cheesy at times, but intentionally so, this is the most throwback of any Marvel outing to date. The ending is very solid, but up until then it's basically an unexceptional World War II tale. That doesn't mean it isn't good, but it's put to shame by its sequel, as you'll see below.
6. Avengers: Age of Ultron – As much as this is great summer blockbuster entertainment, I found myself hoping for a bit more. The recent movies from Marvel (the next two down, actually) as well as the first Avengers flick really are a cut above, so to see this just be pretty good was a slight disappointment. Part of that might just be that we've now seen the group together already, so some of the magic is gone. Still, this is more than effective and well worth seeing.
5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier – An out of nowhere spy thriller that could have almost come out in the 1970's and been about the Cold War, this was one of the MCU's most pleasant surprises. It's no shock that the filmmakers here have been given the keys to the Marvel kingdom from here on out, taking over the upcoming Avengers sequels.
4. Ant-Man – One of the sillier Marvel outings to date and a riskier one too, this probably shouldn't have worked, or at least not as well as it did. The original combination of Paul Rudd working with Edgar Wright had many pumped up, but Wright obviously left the project, ultimately leaving it in the hands of Peyton Reed. At times Reed lets things get a little generic, but the script is still partially credited to Wright and it shows. His clearly influenced moments are by far the best, but it's a fun flick throughout. It's at its best when the ridiculousness of the idea isn't being shied away from. Plus, it's just enjoyable to watch MCU fight scenes done on a totally different scale.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy – The biggest gamble Marvel has made since actually setting forth with the MCU concept, this turned out to be one of their biggest and most purely entertaining success stories. Taking their universe and truly making it universal, this space opera of sorts is as much Star Wars as a miniature version of The Avengers. It's just so much fun.
2. The Avengers – It was all leading up to this one, so it was a joy to see just how well the meeting of Black Widow, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor ultimately was. Probably the biggest superhero movie ever (at that point), it was lighter than the Batman franchise it was opening up the same year as, and while not quite as amazing, still more than blew audiences away.
1. Iron Man – It's hard to beat the one that started it all. RDJ is just perfection as the title character, setting up everything that has come since. If he hadn't been at the top of his game, none of this would have turned out the same. For that alone, it's worth heavy praise, but this is also a nearly perfect superhero film. It stands tall among the MCU titles so far.
Stay tuned to see where next year's releases fall on the list when it gets updated again!

Chapter Philanthropy
Sigma Kappa Foundation
All of our philanthropies encompass what the Sigma Kappa Foundation stands for. We as a chapter hold events such as Pearl Jam (a lip-sync battle), SKapture the Flag, Movies for Memories, which supports Alzheimer's Research, and Day of Service.
Inherit the Earth
As a chapter we value service relating to our earth. We participate in Elmhurst College's Recycling Extravaganza annually.

Gerontology & Alzheimer's Research
Sigma Kappa Sorority believes in the importance of working with and understanding the needs of the elderly. In 1954, Gerontology was adopted as a national philanthropy of Sigma Kappa and in 1984, an emphasis on Alzheimer's Disease was added as well. Each semester our chapter visits a local nursing home that provides care for residents with Alzheimer's Disease amongst other illnesses. During each visit, we try to participate in different activities with the residents. In the past we have played bingo, given makeovers, and hosted a "Senior Prom" at the nursing home. Our Chapter also participates in the annual Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimers.

Geoff Hoon Quotes
16 Geoff Hoon quotes:
"To do nothing, to give Saddam Hussein time without end, as he wishes, would be easier than taking action, certainly."
"We've made it clear that this is not the start of a major conflict, but certainly our forces are ready, they are prepared and they will take on the tasks that assigned to them,"
"but if conflict remains the only way to disarm Saddam Hussein, we are ready."
"There is excellent cooperation between our two countries in that respect. It's something that obviously we want to build on,"
"We had a very full exchange about relevant issues including the importance ... of controlling infiltration across the line of control that remains a matter of great concern to the United Kingdom and something we strongly emphasized to the government of Pakistan,"
"We have made clear all along that this bill is for discussion and debate,"
"That kind of campaign has fortunately passed into history as technology has moved on."
"It is with great regret that I can confirm that nine Royal Air Force personnel and one soldier are missing believed killed,"
"The British government believes we must be resolved to disarming Saddam Hussein. It must be done before the terror weapons he possesses can be used by Saddam himself or by others with his blessing. We must steel ourselves to the consequences of that resolve and send a clear message to Saddam Hussein: You cannot win. You can only comply and disarm or be defeated. The choice is entirely yours."
"We could be condemned on a massive scale for taking an abdication of responsibility,"
"to do so would risk the operational security of the mission and potentially the safety of our forces."
"He is doing a tremendous job in very difficult conditions and he deserves and gets our complete support,"
"This is simply a warning shot, if you like, across the bows of the Iraqi leadership."

Invasive procedures with questionable indications and possible placebo effects
Sergei V. Jargin
This article provides an overview of surgical procedures performed with questionable or excessively radical indications, such as the lung denervation as a treatment of asthma, or the porto-systemic shunting for Type 1 diabetes mellitus. An immediate effect of an invasive procedure including a surgical operation can be influenced by different non-specific factors including a placebo effect. There is an opinion that surgery is associated with a placebo-effect, which can be stronger in case of a more invasive procedure. Reported moderate efficiency of the procedures discussed here could have been caused by placebo effect and/or inexact evaluation. These days, the improvement of Russian economy has enabled the acquisition of modern equipment and supported increasing levels of medical research. Under these circumstances, the purpose of this review is to help to correct the historical problems of surgery in Russia and to remind that, when performing surgical or other invasive procedures, the risk-to-benefit ratio should be minimized.PDF

The impact of the drought on wildlife
One of the main topics of conversation these days between friends and neighbors, on the TV news programs, in the newspapers is the drought. It would be hard not to be aware that California is suffering from a severe drought right now.
Frequently on my drive into Glen Ellen, there is a spot on our road where deer are crossing over to get to the creek. Last year, for the first time since we moved to this house in 1997, the creek stopped running. It was shocking. There were little pockets of water here and there, but basically the creek had run dry. I always slow down when nearing the area where the deer are, and I wonder what is going through their minds as they make their way to the creek looking for water.
Water sources for wildlife have been disappearing for many years. The development of wildlands for housing and agriculture has impacted the availability of water for many species. Humans draw water out of the rivers and creeks for their own use, leaving less for the birds, mammals and fish. When groundwater levels fall, vegetation struggles, and many of the roots, shrubs and grasses that wildlife depend on for food shrivel up and die. When water is plentiful, this is not a problem. California is the only Western state that does not manage its groundwater, although new legislation may be in the works to change that.
Last winter the creek filled up and was running again, but it dried up earlier than it did the year before. All living things need water to survive, and the lack of it is taking a toll on our wildlife.
Sharon Ponsfords critter cam caught a racoon taking a dip in her bird bath, one of many animals seeking out new water sources this summer.
We have a critter cam mounted on a tree next to the water tank, and the photos tell us who is coming by for a drink, or in the case of one raccoon, for a dip. Lately, we have noticed many more visitors than we have had in the past. This is true of both mammals and birds.
State biologists predict that as the animals search for water they will converge on the remaining water holes thereby concentrating their numbers, as well as bring them into closer contact with humans. It also makes it easier for disease to spread among them, especially if they are weakened by the drought. Water fowl are especially hard hit as in California, 95 percent of our wetlands have already disappeared. Water fowl also tend to congregate where the water is, thereby increasing the potential for avian botulism and other diseases.
As if all of this isnt bad enough, wildfires in California are depriving many wild animals of their homes, and quite often their lives. The effect of fires on wildlife is never covered in the media - it should be!

During his days in pro wrestling, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was a fearsome foe in the wrestling ring — but is he a match for the spiciest of spicy hot wings?
Fans found that out when the former WWE superstar paid a visit to "Hot Ones", the YouTube talk show that poses questions to celebrities while they chow down on increasingly spicy hot wings, typically culminating with wings flavoured with the infamous "ghost pepper," purported to be the hottest pepper in the world.
Austin, 54, stopped by to promote his new USA Network talk show "Straight Up Steve Austin", and admitted that "Hot Ones" could be the toughest foe he ever faced.
RELATED: Dwayne Johnson On Why He 'Quietly Retired From Wrestling'
"I might be the biggest sissy you ever had on the show," quipped Austin.
As it turned out, however, Austin proved to have a sturdier constitution than he thought, and was able to handle even the hottest hot wings with surprising ease.
You can watch Austin's chat while tackling insanely hot wings in the video above; you can also check out a promo for "Straight Up" below:

When you talk about tourist destinations in Thailand, what comes into your mind are majestic temples symbolizing the strong faith of Thais, amazing ruins that served as living proof of the rich history of the Kingdom, finest beaches and even elephant feeding.
Perhaps, less traveled compared to the ruins of Ayutthaya, Bang Pa in Royal Palace is a stunning former dwelling place of the Royals of Thailand. This ancient place is only two hours travel by ordinary train from Bangkok.
*Constructed in 1632 by the late King Prasat and restored by King Mongkut in the 19th century but most of the current structures are built during the time of King Chulalongkorn between 1872 and 1889. Bang pa in Palace is nestled beside Chao Phraya River in Bang Pa in District, Province of Ayutthaya. Aside from the beauty of these centennial buildings is a sad story of the late Royals but let me hold your curiosity and be smitten first with the beauty of Bang Pa in Royal Palace
- Grandest Structures
Feels Like Europe
You would not think you are in Thailand except perhaps the warm weather. Dubbed as the Summer Palace, these royal residences are designed with Romanisque Architecture painted with light colors such as White and Beige, fountains constructed on the man-made lagoon, antique lampposts seen around the palace, and ancient statues erected on every side of the wide foot bridge, all of these will take you to a like European tour that you only get to see (and me) in movies or magazines.
Light purple and white dominate the colors of the Royal Residence. Large French window designs and paneled doors are glimpsed of a European inspired building in the Palace. * King Chulalongkorn was the first Royal who loves travel and it includes Europe. In fact, was welcomed by the Russian Dynasty and Emperors of Germany.
Varobhas Bimarn Residence is the formal throne room and was open to the public but unfortunately was closed during our visit as it is under renovation. The wide Spartan design windows and gigantic posts are common sights you will see in the olden times such as in Greece.
The Chinese Touch
This two-storey Chinese style Phra Thinang Wehart Chamrun was a gift to King Chulalongkorn in 1888 by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Painted mostly with Red and Gold, this mansion became the favorite relaxing place of King Rama IV in 1900's every time the late king visits the palace. With the Chinese Bamboos planted around, it really describes the oriental look of the Palace.
While Ho Withun Thasana served the tower of the Royals to view the panoramic site of the palace and neighboring countryside. This was built in 1881 by King Chulalongkorn.
Royals Love Literature
Known as the Floating Pavilion, Aisawan Thipya is the only structure related to Thai architecture and built under King Chulalongkorn. Constructed on the wide artificial lake, this house is also called the Divine Seat of Personal Freedom. The young Royals are said to frequent in this place to laid back and read poems.
2. Centuries-old House of the Royals
If you have the passion of learning history and seeing memorabilia like me, Bang pa in Palace is a must visit. On the back side, century-old houses of the late Royals are preserved. Even in the olden days, Thais have an eye to glamorous designs as seen in these ancient homes. Tropical flowers such as bougainvilla, orchids and century old trees surround the nostalgic place . Each old house has a picture of the old occupants hung on the outside wall such as on the mansion of Her Majesty Queen Sukhumala Marasri, daughter of King Mongkut and his concubine, Samli which later, became one of the four escort of her half-brother King Chulalongkorn. Queen Sri Savarindira, the Queen Escort of Siam also the half-sister of King Chulongkorn and the grandmother of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
3. Behind Its Grandeur is a Tragic Story
Loss of the Queen and the Little Princess
Not only the designs made Bang pa in Palace different from other popular tourist spots of Thailand but the tragic death of the late Queen Sunanda Kumariratana, the first wife of King Chulalongkorn and was told his most loved among his four wives and Princess Kannabhorn Bejaratana, who was then 19 years old and almost 2 two years old respectively when the unfortunate incident happened on May 31, 1880.This is not a legend as it really happened. The Queen and the Little Princess were traveling Bang Pa In Palace by traversing the big Chao Phraya River when their respective boat were capsized by strong waves. What makes it sad was no one from the Royal Escort attempted to rescue the two royals. Even there were attempts from the people who were able to watch, the Royal Guards prevented them and just watched the boat to sink. You will surely ask now why? The Royal guards were following an ancient Siamese law forbidding ordinary people to touch the Royals and disobeying is punishable by death. The lead guard with his strict understanding on this law was imprisoned , by the order of King Chulalongkorn, who was so much in pain and sorrow for the loss of his three (the late Queen was pregnant when she met her untimely death) family members. After that devastating incident, the law was lifted.
It took seven months before the cremation was done on 09 March 1881 and the ashes were laid on 21 March 1881 by the King after six months of memorial dedications.
Today, you will see in Bang Pa in Palace monument constructed under King Rama V dedicated to his loving wife the late Queen Sunanda and the little princess.
To sum up, a visit to Bang Pa in Royal Palace is not only a glance of the beauty of the elegant structures but it also unearthed the most sorrowful story of the Royals which I am glad I learned upon my visit. Really, Amazing Thailand.
How to Get Here:
Take the ordinary train to Ayutthaya from Hua Lamphong Train Station. There are two schedules in the morning, 7 and 9. It will take you only two hours travel.
From Bang pa in Train Station, take sieng tiew for 20 Baht, motorcycle for 30 Baht or Tuktuk for 50 Baht which we did and share the fare. It took us only 20 minutes to reach the Palace.
Entrance Fee: 100 Baht for Foreigners (3.24 USD) and 50 Baht for Thais
Visiting Time: The gate is open at 8 am till 5 pm but tickets are sold until 3 pm only.
Dress Code: Like any other temples in Thailand, no shorts or mini skirt are allowed. If you happened to wear this kind of clothing, no worries. A store infront of the Palace has Thai Skirts or Sarong for rent for 50.00 Baht for one day.

Unraveling Mitochondrial Mysteries: An Interview with Dr. Neal Sondheimer
Tags: Bioethics, Feature, genetics, Mitochondria, Spring/Summer 2018
Dr. Neal Sondheimer
Staff Physician, Clinical and Metabolic Genetics, The Hospital for Sick Children
Associate Scientist, Genetics & Genome Biology, The Peter Gilgan Centre
Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics
By: Yousef Manialawy
When people hear the word 'genetics', their minds often turn to the DNA residing in the nucleus of virtually every cell in the body, having gradually evolved after being passed down through countless generations. However, there also exists an often over-looked evolutionary partner of the nuclear genome: mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Unlike its nuclear equivalent, mtDNA is exclusively inherited from the mother (i.e. matrilineally). Moreover, with only 13 protein-coding genes, the mitochondrial genome is dwarfed by the 20,000 or so protein-coding genes that make up the nuclear genome.1 Despite this, the pivotal role of mitochondria as the main energy source for the cell means that even minor disruptions of its tiny genome can have huge implications on human health. As a mitochondrial researcher and paediatric geneticist at SickKids hospital, Dr. Neal Sondheimer is a leading figure in the pursuit of novel techniques to characterize and treat diseases linked to mitochondrial mutations.
Dr. Sondheimer completed an MD/PhD at the University of Chicago, followed by clinical training in paediatrics, genetics and clinical biochemistry at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia before eventually joining SickKids in 2015. His interest in mitochondrial genetics stemmed from his experience working with patients who had rare mitochondrial mutations, and how their problems differed from those seen in patients affected by nuclear-encoded disorders. Dr. Sondheimer confesses that his interest is also largely due to his longstanding fascination with rare topics in biology. "In graduate school I worked on prion biology, so my joke is always that I'm the only geneticist who is terrified of the nuclear genome because I've always worked on stuff that causes phenotypes but is not subject to Mendelian inheritance."
Dr. Sondheimer's current research revolves around the inheritance of mtDNA in disease and its interaction with nuclear DNA to produce distinct phenotypes. One aim of his work is to identify a method to manipulate mitochondrial heteroplasmy–the balance of different mtDNA variants within the same cell. Unlike the nuclear genome, thousands of independent copies of mtDNA exist across the mitochondrial population of the cell, and a certain percentage of those copies may carry pathogenic variants. The ratio of pathogenic to healthy mtDNA can drift and manifest into a disease phenotype if it gets too high. "We're trying to understand if we can use a sort of structural cue within the mtDNA as a selective filter to block the replication of mutated mtDNA and allow the replication of the good mtDNA," he explains.
Dr. Sondheimer has also recently published a study outlining a system to quantitatively evaluate how mtDNA fits into the context of nuclear genomes, and how this might relate to preterm birth.2 He explains that, whereas nuclear DNA from both parents forms new combinations in an individual, their mtDNA is fixed based on their maternal ancestry. The study suggests that as the two have co-evolved over many generations, rapidly changing nuclear DNA in increasingly diverse populations might be disrupting crosstalk with mtDNA, potentially causing increased rates of preterm birth.
"If you look back a thousand years ago, people were born, lived and died in the same location and there was no opportunity for mitochondrial and nuclear polymorphisms to diverge. Now people are extremely mobile and have children with people of different backgrounds. Because of the way mtDNA is inherited, there actually may be a consequence to having your nuclear DNA drift too far away from it."
Dr. Sondheimer is currently attempting to develop an animal model to demonstrate this, but researching mitochondrial genetics presents some unique challenges. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to make a specific, targeted mutation in mtDNA–a technique that is a cornerstone of nuclear genetic research. To study mtDNA mutations, mitochondria have to be taken from patients and transferred into tumor cell lines, which comes at the cost of losing nuclear-mitochondrial interactions.
The elusive nature of mitochondrial mutations also poses a challenge in the clinic. "For example, when we have a family who's had a child with an inherited nuclear disorder like phenylketonuria, we can tell them the exact probability of having another affected child–it's 25 percent. But for mtDNA, there are no firm rules like that," he explains.
As it stands, the challenge of mitochondrial research means that effective long-term solutions for patients with mitochondrial disease simply do not exist. However, Dr. Sondheimer remains hopeful that these solutions are over the horizon in clinical care. "For very severe nuclear disorders we can use in vitro fertilization to help people not have an affected child, and that's something that is just on the cusp of being possible for mitochondrial disease. Take a healthy egg [containing healthy mitochondria], remove its nucleus and stick the embryo's nucleus in it. It's called mitochondrial replacement therapy."
Due to the novelty of the therapy, the procedure currently remains illegal in Canada and much of the world. Although the UK was the first to approve the therapy in 2015, the first announcement of the birth of a so-called "three-person baby" emerged the following year under more controversial circumstances. Being illegal in the US, a couple and their medical team travelled to Mexico to perform the procedure in an attempt to prevent their child from inheriting Leigh syndrome, a severe neurodegenerative disorder linked to mitochondrial mutations in approximately a quarter of cases.3 The experimental nature of the treatment and the controversy surrounding selective genetics has led many to question the approach. However, Dr. Sondheimer believes that the therapy is indeed the way forward.
"Scientifically it's essential, and I'm actually trying to work with folks in Canada to see if we can develop the technical means to do it but also to change the laws. I don't see anything ethically wrong as a geneticist. People who would like to use this method are trying to have healthy kids and their wishes are entirely inoffensive. We're not recombining DNA, although ultimately the DNA for that child will come from three parents. It's a healthy kid with normal mitochondrial DNA, that's all anybody wants." However, while he approves of the method, he takes issue with the aforementioned case. "It wasn't done in a very regulated fashion, so I think there's a lot of concerns because there are possibilities for abuse. In England there are groups who are doing it under appropriate supervision for the right reasons, and they're picking the right patients and that's what I think should be introduced in Canada."
With much to discover, mitochondrial genetics undoubtedly remains an exciting frontier of research. It's this drive that propels Dr. Sondheimer forward, and he believes this to be critical to the success of budding researchers. "The most important thing in all fields of science is to fundamentally be interested in the area that you're working on. I think one of the things that's helped me is that even on days, weeks, or even months where things are going badly, I at least realize that these are important problems that I want to resolve. And it helps me feel good about the things that I'm doing."

What is it and why do we care? Any organization that accepts federal money must meet the ADA requirements set out in section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Plugins can be used to help check for compliance
Good practice – use alt tags, utilize closed captioning, clearly label images etc, use HTML <h> tags logically/structurally, tab order should be clearly designed etc.
Closed captioning for videos/audio – we use Rev.Com but other options available with more features/services.

St. Mary Medical Center Crowns King and Queen During Pulmonary Rehab Week
Karolyn Dacey of Hebron and James Deu of Valparaiso understand the life-sustaining benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation. Both were crowned Pulmonary Rehab "King and Queen" during the celebration of National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week at St. Mary Medical Center.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week, initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), aims to educate the community about the role of pulmonary rehabilitation in enhancing the quality of life of individuals with chronic lung disease. This year's theme, "Inspiration for Life",‖ honors individuals who struggle to overcome shortness of breath and the pulmonary professionals who work every day to alleviate that struggle and improve patients' everyday life.
"Karolyn and Jim are great examples of the how pulmonary rehabilitation can help regain control of their health," said Laura Turco, supervisor of cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation at St. Mary Medical Center. "Both of them have positive attitudes and are great examples of the strength we all get from supporting each other during rehabilitation."
Outpatient Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation at St. Mary Medical Center offers support and motivation for building healthier lives for patients with heart disease, pulmonary disorders, or for those recovering from other cardiopulmonary conditions. The program combines exercise with education and counseling to help individuals reduce the risk of heart and lung disease or slow its progression.

Malcolm MacDonald, a 45-year-old mechanic from the United Kingdom, has been the subject of global headlines this month due to his unique medical situation. After an extreme case of sepsis caused him to lose his penis, doctors constructed him the makings of a new one using live tissue from his left forearm.
The original plan was for the replacement penis to be removed and surgically attached to his groin once it had grown to a suitable size, however the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the procedure being delayed for the foreseeable future, meaning that MacDonald is presently living with a penis on his arm.
In a recent video, YouTuber, urologist and pelvic surgeon Dr. Rena Malik explained in more detail precisely how Professor David Ralph and his team were able to create MacDonald's "neophallus."
"This is actually a very common way that neophalluses are made," she says. "Neophalluses are essentially penises made using your own tissues, they can be made using a variety of tissues, but the most commonly used one is the radius forearm free flap... The tissue in the forearm is pliable, it's flexible, you can make a tube to urinate out of and a rounded cylindrical shape."
Doctors took a skin flap from MacDonald's forearm and rolled it up, then left it attached to the forearm. Once it is eventually transplanted to the groin, he will be able to urinate normally, and even achieve erections.
"In order for him to get erections moving forward, he'll need to have an inflatable penile prosthesis," explains Malik. "A three-piece device with a pump in the scrotum, two cylinders that go in through the penis, and a reservoir that holds some fluid. When you pump up the scrotum, that pushes fluid into the cylinders."
When MacDonald finally has the neophallus attached, the prosthesis will enable him to have a sex life again. "I'm excited for this guy, hopefully he'll get the second stage of his procedure soon, and he'll go on to have a relatively normal life," says Malik.

It's all or nothing for Kim Petras.
The German pop star has a hit on her hands with new song "I Don't Want It At All." Problematic, because it was co-written and produced by the infamous Dr. Luke (along with Cirkut, Aaron Joseph, and Lil Aaron). But, there's no denying the song is infectious with a video that's as dreamy as it is accurate of a millennial's true colors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"This video is a teen girl's fantasy to me," Petras told EW of the video. "It's inspired by pillow talk, the 'Princess and the Pea,' and it ends with me stomping on a miniature Hamptons in heels as a girly Godzilla moment."
What does that mean? In the clip, Petras convinces men to buy her things and prays to a Paris Hilton shrine in her bedroom when her credit card gets declined. Hilton eventually makes a cameo to save the day. The two dance around and celebrate how they exploit dumb men for their money. Kim Petras is my spirit animal.

Week One of the NFL preseason wasn't what fans expected out of the Miami Dolphins. Miami came out and looked very flat for two quarters of football. Adjustments were made in practice all week in preparation for their matchup Friday against the Cowboys. Miami's offense is looking to be at full strength with the return of Devante Parker and Arian Foster. Both were held out of the Giants game due to injury. With the starters getting a little more time, look for the offense to stretch their legs a little more.
What to watch for:
In the passing game, Ryan Tannehill needs to develop chemistry with anyone not named Landry. While he's Tannehill's favorite target, it won't be long before teams key in on him even more. If the Dolphins can't develop another go-to guy on offense, it'll be another thin playbook for them. Look for the offense to focus on getting plays to Kenny Stills or Devante Parker. Both players are deep threats Miami could use to open up the field. While Adam Gase spoke against throwing bombs all day, expect the Dolphins to test a couple of deep passes to keep defenses honest. With speedsters like Landry and newcomer Jakeem Grant, room to run will make all the difference.
Miami has to establish the tight end position. With backups doing most of the work against the Giants, veterans like Jordan Cameron have to step up in their pass game. They struggled on 3rd down last season and in the red zone, two places tight ends are needed most. So far this preseason and camp, theirs been little if any talk about the tight ends making an impact.
If they can't get more involved, the Dolphins might as well just bring in an extra lineman to protect against defenders. Against Dallas who often allows teams to dink and dunk their way downfield, expect Miami to look towards their tight ends to keep the chains moving.
Fans get their first look at a suited up Arian Foster. Foster implied he was in the best shape of his career so look for him to be ready to go. Carrying a large chip on his shoulder after being let go from Houston, he needs to take Miami back to the days of Ricky Williams. With Jay Ajayi struggling in the passing game, look for Foster and Damien Williams to get more work.
With Williams establishing himself as one of the teams better blocking backs, look for him and Foster to be heavily evaluated. That's not to say that Jay Ajayi won't play his role. However if one or the other doesn't live up to expectations, Miami could keep a longer list at running back this season.
Miami will have their toughest test on defense. Dallas not only boasts one of the best offenses lines, but has a long list of playmakers on offense. The Dolphins made short work of the Giants offensive line in the preseason. The defense was in quarterback Ryan Nassib's face all evening in that match up. However, with how poorly New York's line performed last season, it was a very low bar. If the defensive unit can emulate that success, fans will have reason to get excited.
Week 2 is a statement game for a lot of players. Looking to build on success, the second match up shows consistency. With either good or bad play, one week is a fluke, but multiple games is a pattern. Expect players like Kiko Alonso to amp up the intensity after a short, criticized, first game. With a few fights breaking out in camp this week, they'll likely need someone to push around other than themselves. Defense-minded guys love to be on edge so look for a bit more physicality out of them. If the defense can turn the ball over as frequently this week, then look for the offense to open up a little more. With Xavien Howard being activated from the PUP list Thursday so he'll be a nonfactor. However, with more competition, expect defensive backs to be looked at under a microscope. Even with a few missteps last week, the unit came out looking better than expected. With coaches in pass-or-play mode, someone needs to step up big.
Last but not least, Laremy Tunsil. The Dolphins have found their version of Brett Favre; he's all you hear about. Fans have been less than quiet about their desire to want him to start. In press conferences, reports favorite question is when that'll happen. Truth be told, Tunsil is a second stringer. Dallas Thomas needs to start over him for him to be successful. From a football perspective, during preseason games starters get short work.
As a rookie, Tunsil will need as much in game experience as he can get. So Miami kept him on the second strong until they know 100% Thomas isn't their guy. Right now, he could be one of those guys coaches feels suffered from an off week. Good for the coaches for sticking to their guns and evaluating more than just seven snaps. With how bad the offensive line has been, fans shouldn't hold a grudge when coaches take as much time as they can. They're not picking gas station scratch off tickets; they're trying to build a winning football team. Week 1 should be the deadline, expect nothing more before then.
Preseason leaves little for most fans to get excited for. For coaches and players, it's the hardest part of the year. Roster cuts are always looming, position battles are won and lost, and there's no real judge of how a full game will turn out. Look for Miami to play with a sense of urgency as preseason doesn't last forever.

Getting ready to start up a Facebook fundraiser to help you afford your semester volunteering abroad with ILP? Awesome! Here's some tips first.
All in all this is a really cool tool for fundraising. Facebook wasn't very popular for fundraising in past years because they imposed fees, but they made some changes at the end of 2017 and have since been a great option with zero fees (more on that in a minute). This is a great way to let a large audience know that you're going to volunteer abroad and would love some support without really having to invest anything.
Need another cool fundraising tool?
All of our fundraising ideas and tips: All About Fundraising
There's a few things to know before you venture into the world of Facebook donations though. The biggest thing is that ...
There are two ways to start a Facebook fundraiser:
- For yourself (in your own name)
- For a charity (in ILP's name)
So which way is best for ILP volunteers? We say fundraising for a charity, but we'll start with explaining what happens when you fundraise in your own name so that you know why we recommend that.
Fundraising In Your Name (Personal Fundraiser)
There's a fee (2.6% + $0.30 USD/donation to be exact). You can find other ways to receive donations (like the Charity way that we're talking about below) where there are zero fees to fundraise which means the entire portion goes to you and your ILP program fee. This is still a bit cheaper than Gofundme though (which is the leading fundraising platform and you've probably seen those floating around often because it's so popular). At the time this article was written their processing fee was 2.9% + $0.30. That fee may be small enough to not be a big deal for you, but if you ask me every little bit counts.
Tax Benefits
There aren't any. It's not tax-deductible this way. If you donate directly to a non-profit (like ILP) it is tax-deductible and that can actually be a huge benefit for many of the people who make donations to you (especially large ones) so that's usually something to let people know when you're doing a fundraiser because that's just an added reason for them to donate to your trip. But if you do it this way - as a fundraiser to yourself - make sure you let them know that it's not tax-deductible.
Receiving Donations
Really the only good thing I see about doing it this way is that you would have all of the donations go directly to you and you receive them more quickly than ILP does (we'll explain below). Facebook says that they'll initiate the donations to be deposited into your bank account 1 week after you receive them (and then your bank may take a few business days before it's actually sitting available in your account). Pretty easy that way. Then you'll just turn around and make a payment towards your ILP program fee from your account.
Here's Facebook's FAQ page about personal fundraisers, including information on how you can start one.
Fundraising For A Charity
There's no fee. This is huge because if you do any research about fundraising platforms you'll see that even the best ones who advertise themselves as "no fee" (like Gofundme) still have a payment processing fee (that's just the typical cost to process payments online - usually around 3%). However, at the end of 2017 Facebook announced that they would absorb the processing fee for payments made towards a charity. Pretty cool. You won't find a better deal anywhere else (at least right now).
Tax Benefits
Also, it's tax-deductible! We talked about this a little bit above, but this can be a good thing for those who make donations to you. If you do fundraising this way, make sure to make it known that it's tax-deductible.
Receiving Donations
When you receive a donation on your Facebook fundraiser for a charity, they turn around and deposit it directly into ILP's bank account. When we receive a donation, we will apply it towards you ILP program fee. And yes, that can count as your payment if you're on a monthly payment plan! Pretty cool.
The only hiccup is that Facebook only sends donations into our bank account when there is at least $100 to deposit, and it only happens every 2 weeks. So, for example, let's say you get a $20 donation ... ILP won't receive it, or at least maybe for awhile - until either you receive more donations or until another volunteer is also fundraising. This is just a heads up. We still want to credit you the $20 you raised, buy we just may not be able to until Facebook credits it to our account. Make sense? We will make sure you get that donation whenever we receive it, even if you've already departed and started your semester abroad already!
Here's Facebook's FAQ page on charitable fundraisers, including information on how you can start yours.
How To Set Up Your Facebook Fundraiser
It's actually really quick and easy! We're talking 10 minutes. Just head here and Facebook walks you through it.
From that link you'll just click on "How do I start a fundraiser on Facebook?" and then choose whether you're doing a personal fundraiser or a charitable fundraiser. Remember, no matter which one you choose you can use the money you make towards your ILP program fee, but based on the pros and cons above we recommend that you choose "Fundraisers For Charitable Organizations" because then there's zero fees for you!
Good luck on your fundraiser!
We've had so many volunteers who pay for at least half (if not more) of their ILP program fee through generous donations. We love seeing the support of your friends and family for your awesome adventure, volunteering abroad. It's life changing. Even if they can only afford to donate $5, it can all add up!

They've completed a semester abroad on a college student's budget just like you and so they've got tips to help you make it all work.

It is quite some time back that a driving passion drove me to modestly start earning as a translator – getting a major lucky break from Penguin. This was followed by a couple of years gathering experience by working very very hard. There were friends and acquaintances who asked — what is the magic trick that will allow me to start earning big? HARD WORK is the only answer – there is no trick to it, no magic wand to wave around. A combination of anything and everything helps in reaching that pot of gold.
If one is absolutely honest – earning big bucks is not really possible through. But your positive qualities are – that will help the others to earn. yes, gathering experience and earning a little cash on the side is a very good possibility. Don't should your prospects from the roof tops, but make it abundantly clear what. Les compare it to freelancing – that can actually be far more lucrative.
Here might be a lot of drivel that you put up, but here is nothing that will actually compel the reader at large to rush out and get a copy of your book to treasure!
