Received a text with a clearly-fake URL to follow in order to get a tax rebate from HMRC. I already got a tax rebate this year, and not for the amount listed. Plus HMRC send letters because they're still stuck in the early 1900s technologically.

There are plenty of internet service providers available around your area that offer you a variety of deals that may all sound good. But depending on the kind of user you are, some plans might be useless to you and others might be unnecessarily expensive. You can compare broadband connections online. There are, however, a few common factors that would help you decide what connection you need the most.
Download Speed:
This is pretty simple. Almost everything you do on the internet, from opening web sites to watching a movie on Netflix, all come under download speed. The data gets temporarily downloaded to your system and gets deleted once you close your browser. Download speed directly affects how fast a web page loads or how fast a video buffers. Most internet service providers advertise high download speeds to attract customers, but there's a catch, which we will get to in a bit.
Upload Speed:
The speed at which you transfer data from your system to other systems or online is upload speed. This involves uploading pics on Facebook or other similar social media websites, uploading videos on YouTube, online gaming and peer-to-peer connections. Generally, the upload speed will be slower than the download speed, but it shouldn't cripple the connection.
Bandwidth is how much data you are allowed to download at the max speed before your ISP could cripple your download speeds. Almost every internet service provider puts a cap on the amount of data you can download at the full speed. Most ISPs are pretty generous when it comes to balancing between download speed and bandwidth. But like I mentioned before, there are some ISPs that advertise high download speeds but do not really mention the bandwidth unless you ask them. They can easily scam people who are unaware. There is hardly any point in getting very high download speeds if the bandwidth is only 20GB.
Lastly, the price that the internet service providers ask for has to be worth it. There is no point paying extra for just 5GB more data where you could be paying way less for something else. Make sure there is a proper balance between the speed and bandwidth they are offering you, and the price that they are asking from you. Make sure there are no hidden costs for installation and wiring.
These are the things you should check before deciding on a connection.

The rise of extended warranties began during the oil embargos for the late 1970s. For the first time, many Americans were driving inexpensive fuel-efficient cars that seemed to run forever, but were made overseas. American auto manufacturers knew they had to do something to soften the risk of buying an American car.
Chrysler Corporation CEO, Lee Iacocca, identified the problem of mistrust in American cars and launched a nationwide advertising campaign offering a five-year, 50,000-mile "bumper-to-bumper" warranty on all new Chrysler vehicles. General Motors caught on and soon upped the ante to six years or 60,000 miles. Believing risk reversal was his greatest sales tool, Iacocca trumped GM's warranty with an unheard of seven-year, 70,000-mile "bumper-to-bumper" guarantee.
This warranty frenzy set in motion a long-term trend: the demand for a risk safety net with almost everything we buy. You've probably been offered, and might even have, a warranty on your smart phone or washing machine. You may know people who have purchased warranties on their child's $50 bicycle. We are bombarded with risk aversion opportunities from one year free replacement plans to five year unlimited protection with on-site geek tech service.
Warranties and guarantees are just the tip of the risk reversal iceberg. Today, consumers expect them, every car manufacturer offers them and there's a good chance the dealership down the street has one that's better than yours. When you sell to your customers, you must:
- Understand how automobile buyers perceive risk
- Be ready, willing and able to reduce each risk to an acceptable level for the buyer
- Realize that the more risk you transfer away from the buyer, the more money you make
Customers' Beliefs About Risk
After 9/11, millions more Americans drove to their destinations than flew, because of the anxiety involved with boarding a commercial airliner. As a result, there were 1,600 more traffic-related deaths in 2002 than in 2001. Statistically, driving as a means of travel is about 1,000 times more dangerous than flying, yet we perceive the risk of flying as greater. Your customer's analysis of risk is not exactly rational, so it's important that you understand their risk-related thinking before you develop your sales approach.
Automobile buyers' key attitudes toward risk include:
- Trust reduces risk – Buying an unfamiliar or complex product is taking a new risk. Every detail that is not understood by the customer creates an element of risk, whether warranted or not. Part of creating trust means informing the buyer about the product so potential risks are fully understood and dealt with should they arise. The more your customer trusts you, the less they fear risk. Almost everyone you'll talk to today has been through the car buying process at least once or twice before, but think about your last sales opportunity for a moment. Do you know how long it had been since they'd purchased their last car? Is this a good question to be asking? How much has changed relative to connected technology, safety, and even financing in just the past 2-3 years? It's your job to inform and guide your customers through the process. The more they trust you, the greater the chance they'll be buying.
- Their desire to avoid risk is stronger than their desire for gain – This fact is borne out of research that showed investors are more motivated by the possibility of losing money in the market than by the potential for gaining it. A lot of people "bought high and sold low" during the last economic downturn. In other words, the threat of pain is more powerful than the promise of gain. You have to make your customers feel safe before you start telling them about all the benefits.
- They believe buying proven brands lowers risks – Your customers actually visualize the consequences of buying one vehicle make over another. The higher the perceived risk of a certain automobile brand, the more likely they are to evaluate other brands that come to mind. Known brands equal predictability and predictability reduces their perceived risk. Some of the buyers you talk to may have purchased the same brand of car for as long as they've been able to drive. If it's the brand you're selling, the sale is yours to lose. If they've been buying a different brand, but they're checking yours out, ask questions to find out why they're making the change and carefully illustrate where the differences in your Ideal Vehicle might be.
- They imitate others to minimize risk – Your customers tend to be more comfortable with an automobile purchase that has been vetted by their friends, family or neighbors ahead of time. They love recommendations from others. How's your store doing with online reviews and social media?
- Desire trumps risk – The strength of the buyer's desires can overshadow their perceived risks. Remember, desire trumps everything, but sometimes your job is to create the desire that compels them to take the risk. The risk of not getting exactly what they want can trump most other risks. Most of the people you talk to are making a somewhat long-term decision. If they miss out on the upgraded heated seats and leather, they're going to be dealing with that decision for the next 2-5 years.
The Simple Equation
The fundamental cause of all automobile buyers' perception of risk is this: the more it costs or the less they can afford it, the greater the risks they perceive. As you deal with buyers whose incomes are lower than the average, you'll find this need for reducing uncertainty becomes greater. When customers are at the outer edge of what they can spend, their margin for error is microscopic. For the 62% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, buying a new car that ends up in the shop with costly repairs and missed work days could ruin them financially. They know it's impossible to totally eliminate risk but they can't afford to buy the wrong thing and be stuck with it. Even if they're in a better financial situation, they still want to avoid the risk of making a bad financial and/or social decision.
On your next sales opportunity, remember there's some risk associated with a big ticket purchase like this. Help your customers see that buying a car from you and your dealership practically eliminates the risk. Everyone who steps on your lot wants you to make them feel their risk has been minimized to an acceptable level before they'll buy.

Brett Anderson and Mat Osman on Suede's Discography
By Nevin Martell on April 13, 2011
Rather than our usual FILTER Five, and to continue our Suede Week tribute, we look to Brett Anderson and Mat Osman to dish and discuss the catalog of Suede, from their 1993 debut to 2002's A New Morning (the band's last before its dissolution in 2003).
A Suede Discography: With Commentary from Brett Anderson and Mat Osman
Suede (1993)
London was a touchstone for everyone in the band, so the album became about us being placed in this city of sex, drugs and poverty after living in these suburban satellite towns. London is full of a certain kind of arts professional—people in bands whose parents bought them guitars when they were 12 and went to state school. The sense in all of us was that we wanted to get revenge on all that as the underclass outsider punks. We wanted Suede to be a pop record in the way that The Pretenders' "Stop Your Sobbing" is a pop record. Mat Osman
Dog Man Star (1994)
We were competing with the great records of the past; that's what we had to prove with it. I was trying to write without any boundaries. I was living in a bizarre house in north London, taking lots and lots of hallucinogenic drugs, and writing in a stream of consciousness about anything I wanted and pushing myself as an artist. Dog Man Star is a real testament to what you can create when you want to push yourself as far as you can go. Brett Anderson
Coming Up (1996)
It was a chance to do everything Dog Man Star didn't and make a bright, communicative album. It's like a pendulum: you go one way and then the other. I really wanted to make a straight-up pop record. We were listening to a lot of '60s pop at the time and were very much inspired by the classic three-and-a-half-minute singles. Anderson
Sci-Fi Lullabies (1997)
We were lucky that we came a generation after The Smiths because they upped the ante. They were the first band whose singles I can remember buying for the B-sides. They made me realize that singles mattered and B-sides mattered. Our B-sides were never an afterthought, because it was all about the whole package. The single cover looked like the tracks inside and songs worked with each other. Sci-Fi Lullabies was a chance to bring together some of our favorite B-sides. Osman
Head Music (1999)
It's a fantastic album, but it could've been a lot better if we had left a couple things off of it. I still don't know why the hell we put "Crack in the Union Jack" and "Elephant Man" on there. It was meant to be an experimental record; we were trying to again push Suede in a slightly different direction. It was made with the right intentions, but it confused a lot of the fans. Anderson
A New Morning (2002)
The fact that we made this album is one of the things that I regret most about Suede's career. The band would have been loved more if we had stopped making music before this. When we made it, we were very confused about what we wanted the band to be and where we wanted it to go. There was a part of me that wanted to make an electronic album and part of me that wanted to make a folk album. So we combined those elements and made a very confused record. Anderson

As the year changed Facebook got full of my year in review posts. I hope most peoples lives are more full than their social media feed! As this is mainly a running blog, looking back I can't do justice to all the experiences that running has given me in 2014. Marathon des Sables, Trail Marathon Wales, Wye one Way and OMM all taught me lots of different lessons. Critically they've left me with a lot of friends and memories that will last far in to my life.
Looking forward this year, running wise I am entered for Winter Trail Wales, Hope 24, Trail Marathon Wales and Ring o Fire . Whilst not entered yet, I'm sure the OMM will make an appearance too. Personal targets rather than podiums are the aim, though I'm already planning something special for 2016.
For those interested in statistics, Strava produce a little summary video that highlights some of the numbers. However, numbers don't tell the story of 2014, certainly don't describe some of the feelings and experiences I've had and those things that will motivate me for 2015.
As with every year, I wish I'd taken more pictures, but here are some of my favourites from 2014.
Have a great 2015, see you on the trail!

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Vincent Edwards scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half, and Purdue held off Vermont 80-70 on Thursday night for its first victory in the NCAA Tournament in five years.
Caleb Swanigan added 16 points, 14 rebounds and four assists for the fourth-seeded Boilermakers (26-7), who were upset by Arkansas-Little Rock in double-overtime in the first round of last year's tournament. Dakota Mathias made three of Purdue's nine 3-pointers and finished with 13 points.
It was Vermont's first loss this calendar year. The Catamounts (29-6), the regular-season and tournament champions in the America East, had the nation's longest active win streak at 21 games. But they were unable to make up for a huge disadvantage inside against the bigger, stronger Boilermakers.

Actually feels like a phone, not a mini-tablet. Sharp screen. Fast processor. Very customizable UI.
Call quality and camera quality could be better. You can't multitask enough apps.
Bottom Line
The LG Optimus G Pro is a well-designed, well-sized phablet with an accent on the phone part, balancing a big screen and single-handed usability admirably.
LG and AT&T have laden this phablet down with preloaded apps, as well. The half-dozen AT&T-branded apps are the usual ones which come on all AT&T Android phones nowadays. LG offers up a note pad, notebook (a note pad you can draw in), Polaris Office, a video editor, and an IR remote, which deserves a few more words.
HTC, Samsung, and now LG have thrown infrared remote controls into their phones. LG's QuickRemote controls TVs, cable boxes, audio systems, DVD players, projectors, and air conditioners, that last one unique to LG, one of the world's largest makers of air conditioners.
I got QuickRemote running with Samsung, Sony, and Oppo devices quickly, and it controlled them and changed channels. The Optimus G Pro is missing the integrated program guide Samsung and HTC phones have, but I'm skeptical about that guide, as it doesn't have access to any of your DVR content. Big cable systems have their own EPG apps anyway; what you really need a phone remote for is to control your TV's volume and input settings.
The Optimus G Pro comes with 32GB of storage, which in practice is about 23.3 GB after the software preloads. You can put up to a 64GB microSD Card in a slot under the back cover, though.
LG customized the music and video players on here in useful ways, offering a dual-paned UI in landscape mode and an alphabetical list of your videos. The phone handles an impressively broad set of music and video formats up to 1080p resolution, including DivX, Xvid, and Windows Media formats.
Sound was adequate through headphones and a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth headset, and loud enough but tinny through the single, back-ported speaker.
I was disappointed in the camera quality on the 13-megapixel main camera and 2-megapixel front camera. Zoom in on images taken with the main camera, and the edges of everything disintegrate a bit. It just isn't sharp. Low-light images are even softer. 1080p videos are fine at 30 frames per second indoors and out, but they aren't using all 13 megapixels.
The 2.1-megapixel front camera is pulling a little trick with stills. It seems to always be in 1080p video mode. Stills come through at 1920-by-1080 resolution at up to 1/60 second, which looks awfully like they're being captured out of a video feed. Aside from that curiosity, the front camera has the same softness and noise problems the main camera does, coupled with a very narrow angle. As HTC could tell you, sometimes it's better to get fewer megapixels right.
The Optimus G Pro has some odd and occasionally useful camera modes. HDR is slow, taking several seconds to render. A "VR panorama" mode apes Google's Photo Spheres, although it gives you a rather odd JPEG instead. The best of the unusual modes is dual camera video, which records from the front and main cameras at the same time with picture-in-picture; that will be available for stills in the future with a software update.
I'm disappointed that the Optimus G Pro doesn't have MHL or HDMI out, making it more difficult than necessary to show video on a TV. Instead, there's LG's SmartShare DLNA client. Good luck setting up DLNA on your TV's user interface.
I'm giving the LG Optimus G Pro a four-star rating and our Editors' Choice award for phablets on AT&T, but I need to explain. I like the Optimus G Pro more than the Samsung Galaxy Note II, because it brings the "phone" back to the phablet with its narrow design and one-handed features. I also find the Galaxy Note II's touch-sensitive S Pen much more compelling on larger devices like the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet, so the Optimus G Pro's higher resolution screen and faster processor outweigh the Note's advantages.
But the G Pro still isn't perfect. Once you step away from these oversized phablets, you find that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and HTC One both offer better phone calling and camera performance, and they fit in your pocket, too. The G Pro's many customization features also demand a willingness to bore into the phone's Settings screens; there's nothing quite like the Galaxy S 4's "Easy Mode."
And I have to reiterate that I still wouldn't ever use something this big as my own primary phone. I've met enough guys who are mad about phablets to know that this isn't a universal view, but I prefer something pocketable, not a pocket ripper.
The phablet category is maturing, so we're getting a little tougher on the ratings than we were when the Galaxy Note came out. For its sharp screen, excellent customizability, and most of all, its superior balance of phone and tablet, the LG Optimus G Pro is our new Editors' Choice on AT&T.

In addition to each of its sessions on Chromosomes, Cancer, and Stem Cells, the JCB Cell Biology of Disease Meeting had five powerful keynote addresses (two at the beginning and three at the end) that further highlighted exciting work underlying the cell biological basis of disease.
Opening Night
Our opening speaker on Wednesday evening was Ken Yamada (National Institutes of Health). Yamada discussed work by his group recently published in the JCB which uses micropatterning to examine the effects of extracellular matrix dimensionality on mechanisms of cell motility (Doyle et al., 2009). Yamada and his team noticed that cells traveling in 3D often follow single fibrils of matrix for extended periods of time, and wondered what cell migration would look like if cells were given single tracks of matrix to follow- a matix they refer to as one-dimensional. In a nutshell, cell migration in 1D recapitulates migration in 3D, while migration in 2D remains distinct from both. If a picture is worth a thousand words- our biosights videocast on this study speaks volumes, and will bring you up to speed in less than 8 minutes.
Live cell imaging has revealed key differences in cell morphology, adhesion, receptor usage, and signal transduction pathways on flat or voluminous matrices. For example, inhibition of myosin II doesn't disrupt cells moving in 2D, but it does block migration in 3D and 1D. One debate central to 3D migration is whether proteases are required for cell migration or tissue invasion in vivo. Yamada's group is now using fluorescence ratio imaging with a probe they've developed to detect metalloprotease activity in real time to look at adhesion dynamics and matrix degradation as cells migrate through 3D matrices. Tissue organization during development is another fascinating way to study cell migration in a 3-dimensional context.
Yamada described experiments his group is using to study branching morphogenesis in vivo. It was fascinating to watch cells from a disrupted gland spontaneously aggregate and regenerate a new gland. A second surprise was revealed by live cell imaging. Although epithelial cells are commonly viewed as static in developed tissues, they are actually constantly moving, even in "fully developed" glands. Yamada is trying to figure out how clefts and buds, characteristic structures of branching tissues, form: What are the cell shape changes and the function of the matrix in forming these structures? He also described some preliminary work characterizing a protein that promotes cleft formation.
The next talk on opening night was given by Alan Hall , another member of the JCB Editorial Board. How cells establish polarity and directionality during migration is one focus of Hall's work. Hall has a career's worth of evidence to support a role for the Rho family GTPase Cdc42 in the regulation of cell polarity in tissue morphogenesis and in cell migration.
Cdc42 regulates the actin and microtubule cytoskeletons during polarized cell migration. Re-organization of actin is dependent on the Pak, an effector downstream of active Cdc42, while the Par6/aPKc pathway regulates microtubule polymerization. The cdc42/Par6/aPKC complex is asymmetrically distributed in polarized cells (e.g. during migration or cell division), and localizes to the apical domain of polarized epithelial cells.
Hall's group used a 3D morphogenesis assay, similar to one described by Ken Yamada in the previous talk, to examine the function of Cdc42 in the regulation of epithelial cell polarity (See the biosights episode here). When embedded in extracellular matrix, CaCo2 epithelial cells form fluid-filled cysts, and have an established polarity by a two-cell stage. As cells continue to divide, the apical markers remain centralized, suggesting that the orientation of the mitotic spindle and/or the site of cytokinesis specifies polarity. To their surprise, depleting Cdc42 with siRNA didn't prevent lumen formation altogether, rather Cdc42-depeleted cells form multiple lumens due to misorientation of the mitotic spindle (Jaffe et al., 2009).
But Cdc42 is just one of 18 Rho family GTPases expressed in mammalian cells – Hall reasoned that other GTPases may also contribute to cell polarity establishment or maintenance. In addition, Rho GTPases are regulated by more than 80 GTPase exchange factors (GEFs) and nearly 70 GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), which expands the candidate pool significantly. Therefore, when Hall's group conducted a shRNA screen for GTPase-related proteins involved in establishing cell polarity and tight junction formation, they expected more hits than they got – which was a disappointing "zero". However, a screen of more than 100 downstream Rho GTPase effector proteins turned up three candidates, Par6, Pak4, and aPKC – the same components important for establishing microtubule orientation and polarity during C. elegans embryogenesis. In the CaCo2 system, Par6 or aPKC depletion phenocopies Cdc42 depletion, resulting in multiple-lumen formation. However, depletion of aPKC also disrupts normal junction formation. Finding out how all of these components work together to coordinate polarity and tissue morphogenesis is an ongoing project in Hall's lab.
The Final Session
The final three talks of the meeting brought Chromosomes, Cancer, and Stem Cells together in one impressive session that beautifully illustrated the themes of the conference.
Don Cleveland began the final session of the symposium by introducing what he calls "the centromere paradox". Centromeres, as we learned from Iain Cheeseman and others, are the DNA sequences that link chromosomes to spindle microtubules. Although the function of the centromere is conserved throughout evolution, the actual DNA sequence of centromeres is not.
Cleveland and others have argued that the conserved element is an epigenetic demarcation. The nucleosomes that form at centromere DNA include a histone H3 variant, called CENP-A. These centromeric nucleosomes are therefore structurally divergent and are conformationally more rigid than conventional nucleosomes that contain Histone H3. The exact architecture of CENP-A nucleosomes, however, is still up for debate (see Furuyama and Hennikof, 2009 and a recent JCB feature for details).
To determine how the epigenetic mark for centromeres is replicated, Cleveland 's group used SNAP-tagging to introduce a fluorescent substrate to detect when and where new CENP-A was synthesized. They found that new CENP-A was synthesized and incorporated into centromeric chromatin during G1 (Jansen et al. 2007). Cleveland therefore argues that propagation of centromeric chromatin requires exit from mitosis.
Now we know when CENP-A is synthesized, but how is it incorporated into nucleosomes? Cleveland's group used TAP affinity purification to identify components of the CENP-A prenucleosomal complex, which is significantly different from histone-H3 containing nucleosomes, and found a chaperone HJURP that loads CENP-A onto chromatin during G1 (Foltz et al., 2009).
From CENP-A, Cleveland skipped through the CENP alphabet to CENP-E. CENP-E is an unusual kinesin required for correct chromosome alignment. Bound to kinetochores by its tail domain, its motor domain extends outwards from the chromosomes towards microtubules eminating from the spindle. Cleveland describes CENP-E as a "tenacious, floppy tortoise"- because it is a very slow motor (50 times slower than other motors), but it is very processive – it remains bound to microtubules for minutes at a time.
Removal or reduced expression of CENP-E results in chromosme non-disjunction and high rates of aneuploidy. In male mice heterozygous for CENP-E, the Y chromosome mis-segregates with high frequency. To determine whether aneuploidy caused by loss of CENP-E can beget tumorigenesis, Cleveland's team injected CENP-E +/- MEFs into nude mice, and indeed sees an increase in tumor development. Cleveland is excited about the promise of CENP-E inhibitors as anti-cancer therapeutic agents. Unlike taxol, which inhibits mictrotubule depolymerization and therefore affects function of all cells, inhibitors of CENP-E would be extraordinarily specific for dividing cells.
After an energetic talk by Cleveland, no momentum was lost when Haifan Lin (Yale University) stepped up to the stage. The discovery of piRNAs has turned junk DNA into a goldmine for Lin.
Lin found that most piRNAs are coded by stretches of the "junk" DNA that makes up ~98% of the human genome. piRNAs are just one class of short RNAs, which differ from miRNAs and siRNAs because they bring their targets to Piwi proteins, not argonaute family endonucleases. PiRNAs also are distinct due to their size (They're a little bigger than miRNAs), and their shear number. Lin's lab has now identified more than 60,000 piRNAs in mouse testis, and 14,000 piRNAs in the fly genom

Identifiying the function of piRNAs is a daunting task since there are so many of them (Lin 2007). However, where they are located in the genome is revealing – many piRNAs appear to regulate epigenomic templating.
Piwi family members, known as Miwi in mice, are piRNA-specific proteins. In Drosophila, knockout of Piwi results in defects in ovarian stem cells, which tend to differentiate into two egg chambers, instead of one cell maintaining stem-cell capabilities for self-renewal. In a yeast two-hybrid screen to identify other Piwi interacting proteins, Lin identified the heterochromatin protein 1A. HP1A controls heterochromatin silencing and molds chromatin structure through interactions with Histone H3K9. HP1A binding to chromatin requires Piwi complexed to piRNA, suggesting that piRNAs may target Piwi and chromatin remodeling proteins to specific areas of the genome.
Joan Massagué (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center) is something of a cellular archeologist. Many metastatic cancers have preferential sites they colonize, for breast cancer cells, those sites include bone, lung, and brain. In an ambitious comparative genomics project, Massagué isolated cells from each of these sites and compared them to cells isolated from the primary tumor, as well as healthy breast tissue. The process of metastasis itself, he argues, may define the progression of acquired traits that make invasion, survival and colonization of tumor cells in alternate tissues possible.
When breast cancer cells reach bone, they influence the behavior of native cells (Lu et al., 2009). Breast cancer cells induce osteoclasts to proliferate, differentiate, and resorb bone matrix. All of this activity releases additional growth factors that the cancer cells use to further proliferate (e.g. TGF-b, IGF-1). Breast cancer cells derived from bone metastatic sites express a distinct set of genes, including MMP1, a metalloprotease associated with invasiveness, ostopointin, a protein that regulates osteoclast function, and IL-11, a cytokine that induces osteoclastogenesis.
The gene set expressed by breast cancer cells isolated from lungs have yet another distinct set of genes. The lung metastasis signature identified by Massagué includes nearly 20 genes expressed in estrogen receptor negative tumors associated with high potential for relapse of lung metastasis. These genes include Cox2, a regulator of ROS production and inflammation, and Angiopoietin-like 4, important for breast cancer cell extravasation (Minn et al., 2005; Gupta et al., 2007; Padua et al. 2008).
When compared to cells derived from the primary tumor, Massagué was surprised to find that Angptl4 was also expressed there. Although Angptl4 doesn't necessarily confer a growth advantage to cells in the primary tumor, when these cells reach the lung, it helps them to invade lung tissue by reducing cell-cell adhesions between pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cells –increasing their ability to invade into/through the epithelial layer.
The prominence of breast-cancer derived metastasis to the brain is more than ten times the incidence of primary brain tumors. Brain metastasis results in neurological disability, the tumors are resistant to treatments, are predominantly lethal, and poorly understood. Massagué found that Breast cancer cells positive for BrMS are more likely to invade brain tissue. A subset of genes are shared between lung and brain-metastatic cells, including Cox2 and Angplt4, which are both important for crossing the blood-brain-barrier. In addition- brain-tropic cells express ST6GalNac5, a sialyl transferase normally only expressed by brain-derived cells.

If you're walking along Myrtle Avenue and discover a glowing window sign that reads, "Mood Ring," you may think you've stumbled upon yet another retro 1970s-themed bar. But the influences on this new bar in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn are as varied and diverse as the crowd it attracts.
"We kind of took the word 'mood' from Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love' and played around with it and came up with Mood Ring," said Vanessa Li, 25, who opened the bar with her longtime best friend, Bowen Goh, 27. The space also serves as a showcase for local artists. "Everything from the bar top, to the paintings you see, to the wallpaper, to the mural in the back room — they're all local Bushwick artists who are all friends of ours or friends of friends," Ms. Li said.
The Place Under the silent shadows of the Myrtle Avenue elevated train (closed for renovations until April 2018), the bar stands out with its bright cobalt-painted exterior. Inside, a triangular bar is surrounded by a series of circular banquettes. Down a dark corridor, there are two gender-neutral bathrooms and what looks like a vintage arcade game but is actually an artwork guests can play. The back room serves as a modest dance floor on weekends.
The Crowd Under 30 may be the only unifier here. On a packed Saturday night, the mix of hairstyles bobbing above the varied crowd told the story: precise cornrows, bleached pixies, towers of dreadlocks, sharp undercuts, voluminous Afros and thick-braided ponytails on both men and women. The owners' intent was to create a queer space that was open to all.
The Playlist Up front, a mix of mellow slow-groove R&B kept patrons at the bar swaying. In the back, a laptop D.J. worked the room into a sweat with contemporary dance beats and some '80s classics.
Getting In On weekends after midnight, the line can go halfway down the block. There is no restrictive door policy, but the bouncer may do a double take if you're over 35.
Drinks The owners are interested in astrology: There's a new cocktail each month for every zodiac sign. For Capricorn, it's Power Play ($12), Mood Ring's spin on a michelada with Tsingtao beer, vodka, tomato, sriracha and a chili lime salt rim. And for those who don't heed the stars, there's a small down-to-earth selection of beer ($6) and wine ($8).

In San Jose the last few days SMX West took place. Gemma Birch is there and reports back on some of the sessions for State of Search.
The first session of day 3 of SMX West was all about how to get your videos shared and viewed on YouTube. The speakers were Jake Larsen of ZAGG, Steve Young from SmartShoot and Jonah Stein of ItstheROI and each had some key takeaways.
Jake Larsen – ZAGG
ZAGG sells tablet and mobile accessories online and shares a lot of video content on YouTube.
7 Secrets to Success on YouTube
1. Use Keywords – In the titles, descriptions and tags.
2. They have to add value – either they need to be informational or entertaining.
3. Timing – This isn't always the case but depending on what the video is, timing can be everything. If it is related to a specific trend or event, time it carefully or impact will be lost. Looking at Google trends is a good way to find what people are searching for and publish content to capitalise on that.
4. Interesting – needs to be interesting and unique or you won't get the engagement you're looking for.
5. Include a call to action. Don't lose the visitors once you have them – direct them where you want them to go.
6. Tell YouTube what your video is about. Put your link in the top of the description, include as much info in the tags as much its the only way youtube will know what your video is about and be able to show it to the audience you're targeting.
7. Think about the thumbnail – it needs to entice people to click and watch.
And remember the Velcro theory – the more videos you have, the more people you will reach.
Steve Young – SmartShoot
Next up was Steve Young from SmartShoot, a marketplace connecting customers with film makers and photographers.
A viral video is a video that moves your tribe. It engages with the audience and makes them want to share it
Steve says you need to think like a street performer:
1. Stay away from product shots – don't make your video a sales pitch
2. Be unforgettable. With video, being safe is risky as you won't stand out.
3. Be real. You don't need to hire actors etc.., people would rather see real, and genuine. If they find out its actors, people will actually have less trust in your brand and the video will lose credibility.
4. Take to the Streets. Go out and about. Ask people what they really think about a product.
5. Promote like a Kardashian. There is no point in publishing a video and then forgetting to promote it!
He also shared a strategy for promotion:
Email journalists personally a week before the launch of your video to get them to cover it.
Aim for coverage on 2-3 sites – you don't need hundreds.
A useful tool for getting contacts is Rapportive – enables you to find email addresses.
Jonah Stein – It'stheROI
Finally, Jonah Stein from SEO agency It'stheROI shared a few other video thoughts and tips.
Viral can be slow and steady – its not necessarily important to have an explosion. Overall shares is what matters.
Think about emotional triggers – you need to connect with your audience emotionally, or they won't share it!
Don't mislead people. You can get away with it, but it won't endorse you to your target audience. Make your descriptions etc.. a true representative of what your video is about.
Its all about marketing – use all your lists and existing channels to get that video seen and shared.
Video doesn't really work on Twitter- images are much prefered but other social channels like Facebook and Google+ will work much better.

This week 'We Sit Down' with Animator and Director of Animation Steve Small of Studio AKA
Click to view Steve Small's work
During his career the master craftsman has created stunning animation for the Disney features Hercules and Fantasia 2000. He also created the hugely successful Mr Bean animated series for Tiger Aspect & Richard Purdum Productions.
Since working with Studio AKA Steve has directed and animated a huge range of commercials including spots for Tele2, Nicktoons, UKTV & Orange, Green Flag and the charming Sing Up. Recently he has been crafting the new TSB characters and creating a series of animated sequences for a forthcoming BBC drama TBA.
Here we hear about his influences and his latest project to bring alive the iconic posters by lb Antoni.
Ib Antoni (1929-1973) was one of the most sought after Danish visual artists of his time. The family and Gallerist Mikael Hauberg have partnered with Studio AKA to create two animated gifs directed by Steve Small and we are showcasing them here.
So over to you Steve Small...
What movie inspired you to be a DP/Director?
Milch by Igor Kovalyov (2005). I was already into animation but that one rekindled the flame.
Who is your favourite Cinematographer? Slawomir Idziak 'Three colours Blue' and 'The Double Life of Veronique'.
Click to view Black Earth Rising
What other mediums do you draw inspiration from? (e.g. paintings, photographers, writers, etc)
I work in Animation which has now virtually no technical limits when bringing an idea or a technique to life. Whilst this allows us to make very rich pieces of work, I still admire ideas and realisations of ideas that keep things simple. Ib Antoni is a good example of that 'Less is More ' approach.
Could you talk us through the instructions or brief you received from the client?
We were asked what we would do to bring his iconic posters to life. It seemed to me that we should add as little to them as possible because their simplicity was a big part of their appeal. Also, like most great cartoonists and poster designers, Ib Antonis' works have that enviable knack of saying everything in one image. Which means that whilst it might be just a snapshot of that world, it delivers on many levels.
Can you talk us through the piece. So, the concept, what it shows and the visual approach you've taken?
When asked how we would bring the work into animation, the concept was simple. Let's animate that poster as exactingly as we can. That design. Lets even make that design an actual frame of the animation. In other words, the poster was the brief. We put forward the idea that we make a simple sequence and imagine the result being as if the posters were the result of a photo taken by a stills camera (albeit an artist making a painting) and that we'd replace a stills camera with a film camera. (several artists making several paintings). We'd animate that moment, adding and removing nothing.
Beyond the brief, what else did you look to for inspiration when creating the piece? Was there anything else that inspired or informed the visual approach you took?
I like to do a lot of research. And that can take many forms. Reading, seeing any original works etc...In this case it was fairly focused and straightforward. And because he was such a consummate designer, all we needed was right in front of us. All we had to do was study the image and find out what made it tick. A reverse engineering process. How were they painted, what techniques were used, what is the personality of the work and so on.
How did you create the work and can you talk me through the key steps in the process?
We adopted as many traditional methods as possible. The craft is evident in the originals and we wanted to make the animation as hand drawn as we could. We created line tests in TV Paint, Flash (using it as a drawing tool rather than a vector tool) and a Photoshop animation timeline. Once the line-tests were completed we art-worked and painted one frame at a time.
How do the tools you use influence your creative process..?
In this project we were lucky that Photoshop had just released some great brushes. Without these, it would have been a very different process. With practice and research we developed a terrific, though still labour-intensive technique that was strikingly true to the original print. Working on these two animations gave us a perfect opportunity to learn what these brushes could do. So when an opportunity came along to pitch on a series of scripts for Hugo Blick's new series ' Black Earth Rising', I was able to sit down for a day or two and make paintings in photoshop in a thoroughly intuitive way. This opened the way for a different working method to one we used for finding the technique for Ib Antoni. This was not reverse engineering but an exploration of new territory.
What piece of advice do you have for aspiring filmmakers?
I haven't made a film yet. I have made sequences. But even working on these I can see that no matter what the technique, the idea is the most important. Know what you want to say first, then play with how you want to say it.
What are you hoping for in your next project?*
Time and enough budget.

It is not very often you see a bobcat while deer hunting. It is even more rare to see a bobcat stalking a deer you are watching.
In this video my good friend Chris Clark was deer hunting in South Texas while this wild encounter happened. At first light a young buck walks out and appears very nervous. My friend was thinking the young buck was nervous that a mature buck might step out so he was filming and prepared for a good hunt.
As the buck gets under the feeder and begins to eat some corn all of a sudden he bolts, That is when you see the bobcat close the distance in a hurry on this deer. The bobcat has second thoughts and runs past the deer, I'm assuming he sized the buck up and figured he did not want to fight a hard horned buck for a meal.
Just when you think it's over the bobcat comes back out of the brush to test the deer again. The young buck holds his ground and runs the bobcat off.
What a great encounter to witness while hunting, check out the full video below.

Hello lovely people!
Onwards and upwards with more adventures from my European trip. Round 2 for my tour team signified my return to Prague, a city which firmly stole my heart this time around. It's a beautiful city, with a much more traditional feel than Berlin. But, perhaps more importantly, the beer is cheaper… (thanks Eastern Europe).
How It Went Down
The team arrived in Praha Hlavní Nádraží at 9:30pm, leaving our new German friend (who had spent the whole journey laughing at our idiocy) behind. More importantly at this point my lovely college wife (don't ask, I'll explain later) Oana joined us; you bet I jumped on her in the station. We then walked to our hostel as it wasn't so far from the station, checked in and made it our home for the next 2 nights.
The Hostel
This might be one of my favourite hostels I've ever stayed in. A Plus Hostel cost the equivalent of €18 a night, and god was it worth every cent.
We shared an eight bed room which was very spacious, and even had the exciting added extra of a table (you know you've done too much budget travelling when even a table excites you). The main thing I loved about the room was that the four bunk beds were arranged in a circular fashion, which made it much more communal than the traditional rows often used by hostels. It's the little things.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHOWERS. After living in a flat with shower pressure that was more dripping hosepipe than hair-washing for a year this hostel's showers felt like you were being pelted in the face, it was so good! The boys would like to make it be known that the men's showers didn't have curtains though, something which I only heard about once or twice (or eight times…).
Two words. Free. Breakfast. I've been disappointed by far too many hostel's offer of a bit of bread and some weak juice to feel anything but apprehension for that kind of advertisement, but this breakfast was mad good. Cake, coffee, meats, bread, fruit, yoghurt, and a toastie machine (!!!) was a perfect way to wake up everyday. Oh and did I mention that this was all served in an underground bar/restaurant with the coolest aesthetic ever?
My final plus because this section has gone on for far too long already is that the hostel is located across the road from Florenc metro station, making travel super easy. However, it's also a short walk away from most of the city's main attractions, so we only found ourselves using the metro on our second day. When I next find myself in Prague I will definitely be staying at A Plus again.
Wait… What Actually Happened?
After arriving pretty late at night we woke up ready for a full day of sightseeing. As I said earlier we chose to do it all on foot, which definitely felt fitting in an older city. We saw all of the main sights thanks to our fabulous Eastern Europe correspondent Natalia, from the Astronomical Clock to Charles Bridge, the John Lennon Wall and Old Town Square. The main thing I loved about doing this was the wandering; cute little side streets, chilling in parks and getting to know each other on that level you never really get to until you travel together along the way.
After all that walking it only felt right to spend the evening sitting down. Naturally, we found a bar in which to do so. When I visited Prague for the first time in 2017 I stumbled upon U Vejvodu by accident when looking for somewhere cheap to have drinks on the last night of our trip. Turns out it's a pretty big deal online, and more importantly it's absolutely huge, with outdoor beer gardens as well as spacious indoor rooms. The night started with Czech beer costing a dangerous £1.50 a pint. Enter a lot of rounds of never have I ever, a few more rounds of beer, and we found ourselves at shots of tequila and absinthe. Safe to say I was a little worse for wear by the time we arrived back at our hostel…
My notes for day two start with the words "Big hill and tower – cool view but v hot", which just about sums it up. The hill in question was Petrov hill, with stunning views across the whole city. Personally I was a bit out of it on this particular morning (no, it wasn't due to the alcohol, which surprises even me), so I probably didn't appreciate this opportunity as much as I usually would.
My highlight of the day was Prague's beautiful Old Town, the area which surrounds Petrov hill. There we visited Prague castle, as well as spending a little more time taking in the architecture and general surroundings. If you take anything from this post, take that I love having a good wander and a good look at cool stuff.
Obviously then we had to watch football come home, returning to our haunt from the night before for another beer alongside the game. To complete my middle-aged Englishman aesthetic I chose to put bets on this particular match (and by I, I mean Callum chose me some bets and I paid for them and pocketed the cash), bets which actually came through and won me £18. Thanks England, guess I'm a football fan now.
Our Unplanned Escape
Now, the plan was to leave Prague at around 9pm and take a night train onto our final destination; Budapest. Whilst this was only for half of the group due to the train being sold out, it seemed like a pretty solid way to wake up feeling refreshed in a brand new city.
Oh how wrong we were…
When the four of us arrived on the train, we were told (quite rudely, might I add), that our ticket had been booked for the wrong date. Arriving back on the platform we found that yup, our ticket was for the wrong month completely, after a nightmarish booking scenario involving lots of phonecalls and badly designed Czech websites. So, we obviously had to find another route.
We quickly discovered that the next train out of Prague that was heading to Budapest wasn't until 6am the next morning. Now, I don't know about you, but spending the night in an Eastern European train station was a little too on the terrifying side for me. There had to be another way. I mentioned earlier that only half of our group were taking the train, as the remaining four were opting for Flixbus, a Polish bus company who work just like National Express coaches in the UK.
FLIXBUS SAVED THE DAY; HELL YES! We were able to book four seats on the Flixbus our friends had been taking all along, and whilst it was a little bit of extra money and stress, personally I didn't find the ordeal too horrific – it's all part of the life of a traveller. There's a lot of entertaining little stories to go along with the journey, but I think I'll save those for the next post (hah, now you have to come back)
So, that was Prague! A cultural gem best discovered on foot, with bar prices to die for thrown in for good measure. The city has definitely given me an appetite to see more of the Czech Republic – who knows where I'll go next.
Come back next week to hear about my Flixbus "nightmare" (I'm still not sure if it was tragic or hillarious).

Lucky's Place is a true no-kill animal shelter that is donation-based and volunteer-driven by a group of dedicated, hard working, and passionate individuals. We work hard to ready our "guests" for loving homes, by giving them top quality care, attention, and whatever else they may need to be happy and healthy. We take pride in knowing each 'guest' has been examined, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered by one of our local high quality veterinary service providers, as well as going above and beyond to ensure each guest is given every opportunity they need to thrive.
At Lucky's Place, each guest is treated as family. We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces. It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness, and defeat to find the true soul that lies within. We are rescue.
Featured Pet
Adoptable Pets
Thank you for your interest in adding one of our 'guests' to your family! We know how exciting it is to add a family member and we want to help in any way we can! At Lucky's Place, we believe there is a unique connection between animals and humans and we want to be sure the connection is mutual!
The first step in adopting is to give us a call to set a time to do a meet and greet with our 'guest.' When you come, be sure to bring everyone who will be interacting with the new family member. If you are undecided, let us know what characteristics you're looking for and we can help identify the critters with the qualities you seek. We want you to relax and spend some time together to ensure this is a "match made in heaven."
Once a match has been made, we will walk you through the adoption process. Each one of our 'guests' has been given initial vaccinations and has been spayed or neutered. We make every effort to determine whether animals placed for adoption are of sound disposition, however good disposition cannot be guaranteed. We also make no representation or guarantee that they are housebroken, have no bad habits, health problems, or are purebred. Our animals come to us as strays, from veterinary clinics, and from individuals who can no longer care for them. Many of these animals have been abandoned once, and we try to prevent it from happening again.
In signing the adoption contract you are agreeing that:
1. You are required to keep current on all vaccinations, and licensing if required
2. The animal will not be allowed to run at large and must be provided with suitable shelter, food, and water at all times (MN statute 346.20).
3. You will retain possession and care for the animal on your premises. The animal cannot be transferred to any other party without notification and approval by Lucky's Place.
4. You understand that adoption donations are non-refundable, and any animal adopted from Lucky's Place may be returned to the shelter at any time for any reason.

Original content isn't the first thing most of us think of when it comes to banks. But in the age of social media, content is an increasingly crucial component of online marketing campaigns, and the financial services industry has emerged as a major player.
It makes sense that brands such as Citi, American Express and Mint would be drawn to content campaigns. Money and what we do with it is a powerful topic capable of sparking great discussions—you need only look at the success of CNN Money or the Wall Street Journal to see that. Finance journalism has always been heavily dependent on industry experts, many of whom work inside financial institutions. So why shouldn't those brands put their own experts to work on their own content campaigns? Increasingly they are doing just that.
Brands also see content as an opportunity to target specific customers. A LinkedIn study earlier this year found that 87 percent of the Mass Affluent—the 40 million people in the U.S. with between $100,000 and $1 million in assets, excluding the value of their homes—are active on social media. These are the people financial services companies want to reach, and a significant percentage of them are happy to reach back.
