Ilanna has deep understanding of the jobs she recruits for and consistently provides feedback. Her honest, detailed, direct, and sincere approach is what makes her stand out from the rest.
- Manager Product Development
Lee Golodny was the recruiter who eventually placed me at my new job. I was looking for a new career opportunity but had not had any success on my own with my networking. Lee contacted me through LinkedIn about a potential job at a small biotech firm. We discussed at length what I was looking for and he walked me through the process. He was very professional and I was impressed with him during the entire process. He followed up with me after every phone call, informal meeting, prepped me for the interview and helped me land a really great opportunity. Looking for a new job can be stressful but he made the process much easier for me. I hope others who may need that extra help will approach Lee to assist them in their job search.

SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD (Model F016) wins "European DSLR Lens 2016-2017"
August 15, 2016, Saitama, Japan - Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shiro Ajisaka), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces that its SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD (Model F016), world's first* fast-aperture lens with VC (Vibration Compensation) for full-frame DSLR cameras, has won the EISA Award for European DSLR Lens 2016-2017.
*For 85mm F/1.8 fixed focal lens for full-frame DSLR cameras (As of January, 2016. Source: Tamron) The Sony mount model does not include VC since Sony DSLR bodies include image stabilization functionality. The name of the Sony mount model is "SP 85mm F/1.8 Di USD (Model F016)" without the VC designation. The launch date of the Sony mount model will be announced at a later date.
The Tamron SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD sets new standards of performance for a short telephoto portrait lens. It's the first of its type equipped with optical image stabilization, allowing the photographer to use shutter speeds up to 3.5 stops slower than usual. Optical performance is enhanced by the use of Low Dispersion and Extra Low Dispersion glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, and the barrel is also sealed against dust and moisture. The optical design strikes a perfect balance between sharpness at the point of focusing and producing a soft natural effect at the background, making it a perfect lens for portrait artists.
The receipt of this prestigious award marks the 18th year Tamron has won an EISA Award, and the 11th consecutive year since 2006.

THOUSAND OAKS, CA — In what the participants are calling "an industry first," Apex Fitness Group and World Gym International have teamed up as service partners to "knock down" the gym walls by creating fitness programs that meet the needs of non-gym members. This is the first time a fitness club chain — not just an individual club — has formed a partnership to reinvent the gym by building a fitness resource to reach those individuals who normally would not join a traditional health club facility, according to the companies.
The primary goal of the partnership between Apex and World Gym, which has nearly 300 gyms worldwide, is the creation of programs for individuals on their own terms, customizing fitness for every household. Plans potentially include no membership requirement, teaming up with local sports retailers on recreational sports conditioning, working with physicians and others on weight-loss programs, and partnering with neighborhood corporations on wellness programs.
"Only 14 percent of the population goes to a gym, that leaves 86 percent that we are not reaching," says Neal Spruce, founder and CEO of Apex Fitness Group. "This program allows for fitness on their level with clubs participating in our program offering things like golf conditioning programs, weight control programs, and other sport- and fitness-specific programs with or without a membership to the gym."
This venture will allow anyone purchasing a World Gym franchise to receive the complete Apex Fitness Systems license already built into the franchise purchase.
"The Apex name has always been synonymous with quality and integrity," said Mike Uretz, chief executive officer of World Gym. "Those words make for a perfect fit with our outstanding team."

I got this picture from Corrente in one of Lambert's posts. It's a picture of the inside of Obama's campaign headquarters in Chicago. If you've ever wondered why so many of his fanboys sound like young guys who don't have families or responsibilities, well, here's your answer:
Do you see any women in that picture? There might be a few waaaaaay in the back but mostly it looks like the library of an oversized frat house. I like the Adidas shoes though. They remind me of the ones I had when I was a freshman at Pitt. Very comfy.
These are the same people who get on social media outlets and have little hissy fits when you suggest that their candidate might be out of touch with the average voter. These are the guys who tell you that the ONLY reason you could possibly be dissatisfied with Obama's performance is because you're a racist. Or stupid. Yeah, I like that one. You're stupid because you can't see that not voting for him is voting against your best interests.
And voting for him would be what? And why is there an unspoken assumption that if you don't want to vote for Obama that you're naturally going to vote for Romney? Isn't that a bit presumptuous? There are other candidates, you know.
By the way, how is insulting your voters supposed to work anyway? When we're out here struggling to get by on our dwindling savings why are we confronted with another teachable moment about race? Is the Obama fanbase trying to suggest that if we weren't racists we'd be more prosperous? Or are they trying to blame our stupidity for our unemployment problems? Are they trying to depress us and strip us of our self esteem and make us feel bad about our situation, because that doesn't seem like a winning formula to me. If anyone in the fanbase wants to address the logic behind the messaging and blaming the victims, I'm all ears. Well, I'm all ears to a message that treats me as a college educated adult that can reason my way out of a paper bag. I like a message that doesn't condescend to flimflam me about Obama's "accomplishments" and tell me that Lilly Ledbetter solved all my problems. I'm not Cindy Lou Who. If the message is going to give me a plan and concrete examples of how Obama is going to turn this ship around in the next four years that sound convincing, I could be open to that. But I haven't seen it yet and none of it passes my smell test.
Charles Pierce did a post on Obama's headquarters last week. Besides the fact that the place is locked down like a fortress and you can't get in without surrendering your driver's license, the place is locked down like a fortress. These guys are on social media sites all day shaping the message. This a the reason why I've avoided facebook and why I don't hang out at many lefty blogs.
But who the heck are they talking to? I don't relate to these people and I doubt that they relate to me. To me, they're just the online manifestation of hooliganism. They're loud, aggressive and intimidating in the comment threads. It's not that I don't think I can handle it. I just ask myself why I should bother. They're not hired to have an argument with you. They're there to incite a bait ball frenzy with their partners, shut you up and drive you away. They're not in the persuasion business. They're in the enforcement business, not unlike the riot cops who the DHS sics on Occupy protestors every time they get together. It's almost like they're trying to prevent us from getting together and comparing notes about Obama's performance. We can't have that. We might discover that racism and stupidity have nothing to do with it.
We're coming up on the 4th anniversary of that infamous RBC hearing in Washington where the rules were rewritten to make sure they were more equal for Obama at the expense of all of the other voters in America who 1.) didn't think he was ready to be president and 2.) couldn't identify with his asshole fanbase. And the problem with Obama still hasn't changed. He's still not ready to be president and he still has a bunch of assholes working for him. And these assholes, who appear to have all of the experience of 22-28 year old unmarried men, have the nerve to dictate to the rest of us that if we don't vote for him again, we're stupid racists and if he loses, all of the catastrophes that follow will be our fault.
How about we look at it this way? It's not the responsibility of the voters to ensure that the fanboys' employer gets reelected. It is the candidate's responsibility to do a good job and make sure he is leading the country in a positive direction with a vision of the future that the rest of us can relate to. That's the way it works. It is and always will be the Economy, stupid.
The candidate lucked out when the market tanked in 2008 because from what I could see, the campaign wasn't over and his presidency was not assured back then. Now, we know what he is and he's going to have to do a better job before voters give him four more years. And these guys in their shrinkwrapped, airconditioned bunkers, sealed for their own protection and away from the real world are not helping his image.
One more thing: This is for all of the blogger/pundit types out there who write witty and incisive prose about the failures of the Obama administration (you know who you are). We read your stuff and know that you're just as horrified as we are that Obama has given everything away to Wall Street. We know that you can predict how badly life is going to suck for those of us who will be on the losing end of the Grand Bargain. We know that you're appalled by Obama's poor performance. It's not hard to read between the lines. So, do us all a favor and stop running around with your hair on fire about how we must vote for him or Armageddon will come when Romney is elected. That assumes that nothing can be done and all hope is lost. That isn't helping. You haven't even tried yet.
If I had your megaphone, I would use it.
This video of the saucepan demonstrations in Quebec is going viral so let's spread it around too:
See the difference? Those are average people. They're not all from Sigma Pi.

Tall Towers Lure Property Investors
Until recently, the landscape for big office-tower deals was an arid one, and between late 2008 and late 2012, only one full sale of a building in the U.S.—Google's headquarters at 111 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan—topped $1 billion, according to Real Capital Analytics.
But now big office-building sales, it seems, are in vogue.
On Friday, two foreign investors bought a 40% stake in the General Motors Building, a 50-story Manhattan icon that is now valued at $3.4 billion, making it likely the most valuable office building in the country. On the same day, Crown Acquisitions and Highgate Holdings reached a deal to pay $1.3 billion for 650 Madison Ave., a block north of the GM Building. Also last week, Boston Properties and its partners sold 125 W. 55th Street—a more than 550,000-square-foot tower—according to CBRE Group Inc., which brokered that sale as well as that of the GM Building.
More deals are in the works.

JAG KK brauchte ein neues Flash Animation Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 3 Designs von 3 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We need 2 NEW maps created AND THEN we need these 2 NEW maps to be put together with our Logo into a short flash movie. It will show a) our office location, b) the hotels and train stations located in the area and c) directions from the nearest station to our office.
Desired Color Scheme:
red, grey, black and white best
2 NEW MAPS will have to be created for this FLASH MOVIE, and also some nice icons for hotels, train stations and some other points of interest mentioned in the script. (The Flash movie should be no wider than 600 pixels!)
The following maps need to be created first, before doing the flash movie...
Map 1 – will show the local area with some roads, about 16 hotels and 6 train stations marked (see this link as a guide: http://wwwflickr.com/photos/2171057…100874174/ ). Our office is the large black dot in the center of the map. The red dots are hotels.
Map 2 – will show a closer version of the local area, showing how to get to our office from the nearest station (See this link as a guide :http://wwwflickr.com/photos/21710571@N07/2100958168/).
The 2 NEW maps will be used along with our company logo, to create a short flash movie. Here is the Flash movie storyboard, with audio script (which we will produce) + the flash visuals, (which you will produce) and are in red:
Company LOGO is on screen
"The Japan Bike Rentals office is located in the heart of Tokyo in the Akasaka district, near Roppongi."
Company LOGO fades into local area map (Map 1), which shows hotels and train stations. All hotels flash together at first to match the text. Then each train station flashes when mentioned to indicate location
"Our office is conveniently located, close to a large number of hotels and easily accessible from 6 different subway stations; Aoyama-Itchome, Akasaka-Mitsuke, Nogizaka, Tameike-Sanno, Roppongi and the closest, Akasaka Station."
Dissolve to a closer, zoomed in Akasaka area map – exit 7 flashes (No.1 on link map), then use a red dotted line or footprint to direct the user to office
"If using Akasaka station, take exit 7 (1). When you exit the station, you'll see the Chisun hotel right across the street from you. Turn right and walk along the main street for about 200m. At the light, you'll see a police box (2). Turn right here. Go past the Nippon car rental shop (3), which will be on your left. Keep going another 30m or so, cross over the street and enter the quiet little street in front of you. We are about 30m down that road on the left (4). Hope to see you soon. Give us a call if you get lost."
fade out to Company LOGO again
GPS co-ordinates:
Exit 7, Akasaka station – 35 40' 17.43†N / 139 44' 07.51†E
Our office – 35 40' 15.53†N / 139 43' 57.69†E

Conservation Impact in Peru
A Rapid Inventory Leads to the Creation of the Ampiyacu-Apayacu Regional Conservation Area
In 2003 scientists in the Science Action Center conducted an inventory of the headwaters of the Ampiyacu and Apayacu rivers, tributaries of the Amazon. Their mammal surveys recorded the highest known density of lowland tapirs. Their fish surveys estimated that 40% of Peru's freshwater species live in the area. The bird team estimated 500 species for the region. And more species of trees were recorded in a football-field-sized patch of forest here than are native to all of North America.
The proposal for a conservation area originated with the indigenous communities living along its borders—about 3,000 people in nine different ethnic groups. With the Field Museum's biological and social data as a foundation, in 2010 Peru's national government declared Ampiyacu-Apayacu a regional conservation area, protecting 1.07 million acres of terrifically diverse Amazonian forest for the benefit of its indigenous neighbors. This is one of 12 new protected areas created in the last ten years in South America after Field Museum rapid inventories.

When it comes to wild-ass '50s dreams about mankind's imminent future in space, it's tough to beat Freeman Dyson's nuke-powered Project Orion, but this concept drawing of a rocket monorail is not half bad either. A rocket monorail!
Unfortunately, while the only thing that stood between Dyson's magnificent spaceships and the stars was a lack of federal funding, this Yugoslav rocket monorail was but the cover of a sci-fi magazine, Moji Romani ("My Novels"), although it does say argonauti vasione ("argonauts of the universe") on the cover, along with an alluring hint at a fantasy short story by the Soviet writer Vladimir Vlatka.
Perhaps what the unknown cover artist had in mind was the Pixies song "Space (I Believe In)" from 33 years in the future, which begins with this line: "We needed something to move and fill up the space". Prime somethings indeed, rocket monorails.

By Natalie Stechyson, Postmedia News January 27, 201
OTTAWA — Idle No More protesters are set to gather in at least 30 Canadian cities and will be joined by solidarity protests around the world as the indigenous grassroots movement marks a global day of action on Monday.
The day of action, which comes as Canada's MPs return to the House of Commons, is to include everything from a rally in Vancouver and a peace march in Calgary, to a gathering of jingle dancers on Ottawa's Parliament Hill and a sunrise ceremony in Montreal, according to regional Idle No More Facebook pages.
And internationally, protesters are set to gather for events everywhere from Australia to Sweden and across the United States.
"This day of action will peacefully protest attacks on Democracy, Indigenous Sovereignty, Human Rights and Environmental Protections when Canadian MPs return to the House of Commons on January 28th," organizers said in a statement on the Idle No More website. "As a grassroots movement, clearly no political organization speaks for Idle No More. This movement is of the people… For The People!"
The aboriginal-rights movement seeks a more equitable relationship between the federal government and Canada's indigenous people. The movement urges the government of Canada to "repeal all legislation; which violates Treaties, Indigenous Sovereignty and subsequently Environmental Protections of land and water," according to the Idle No More website.
Although Attawapiskat Chief Theresa's Spence former hunger protest had become inextricably linked to the movement, she began refusing solid food after the movement's original rallies, teach-ins and first national day of action organized on Dec. 10.
Last week a new assembly of social movements called Common Causes – associated with the Council of Canadians – announced its support for Idle No More to mark the global day of action. Common Causes has also announced Monday rallies and marches in cities across the country, most of them in coordination with Idle No More events.
The largest Idle No More turnout is expected in Ottawa, where jingle dancers across the country have been invited by organizers to dance on Parliament Hill following a rally on Victoria Island. Maude Barlow – the national chairperson of the Council of Canadians – is scheduled to give a speech on behalf of Common Causes on Parliament Hill Monday afternoon.
In Vancouver, hundreds of protesters plan to march to the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Building, according to the event's Facebook page. In Calgary, more than 300 people have RSVP'd for a peace march that will converge in "the biggest Round Dance the downtown core has ever seen!"
In Regina, Sask., 287 people had registered on Facebook to attend an evening of music and speeches. And in Winnipeg, more than 2,000 had registered to take place in a flash mob round dance.
Dozens of rallies are planned for cities across Ontario – including nearly 400 people expected to gather in downtown Toronto – and the Maritimes, according to Facebook.
Just over 250 people had RSVP'd for an Idle No More rally in Montreal, and another hundred people RSVP'd for a sunrise ceremony that then plans to organize transportation to the rally in Ottawa.
In Melbourne, Australia, 61 people were registered for a Haka flash mob in support of Idle No More. In Malmo, Sweden, 115 people said they were attending a rally in support of Idle No More. That rally was set to include dancing and drumming, according to the group's Facebook page.
And events have been planned in a number of cities across the United States, including New York City, Washington and Las Vegas.
Spinning off the recent First Nations protests and meetings, NDP MP Romeo Saganash will introduce a private member's bill Monday asking the government to ensure the laws of Canada are consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

If you like to seek out hidden gems on your travels, Hydeaway Bay should be on your list when visiting the Whitsundays. This tiny coastal hamlet is set on a long, white, sandy beach on a no-through road about 50 kilometres from Airlie Beach (take the Gregory-Cannon Valley Road to Dingo Beach Road and then don't miss the turn to Hydeaway Bay Drive).
Originally settled with summer shacks for local farmers, there are now a few hundred houses scattered along the beach and the nearby hills. The beach has five public access points and you can comb for shells on a low tide, swim the fringing coral reef or try your luck fishing from the beach or in a "tinnie" (Aussie lingo for small tin boat). The nearest boat hire and ramp is just down the road at Dingo Beach.
Locals actually say the best thing to catch in Hydeaway Bay is peace and quiet. It's guaranteed you will hardly see a soul but you could be lucky enough to spot a dugong, dolphin, whale or turtle on your travels.

We love having lots fresh herbs, plants and flowers at home. They freshen up our interior and make us feel comfortable and uplifted.
We have already shared a few unique upcycling ideas on indoor plants: here's a cool upside-down planting hack and here's an awesome light bulb mini-greenhouse.
Today we share another cool idea: "Fresh Cut Flower" Shelf. Here's a detailed instruction to print out.
It is a great way to turn your boring wooden shelf into something unique and fun!

We own some teams, some teams own us. In the Posnanski BRM book, he started out with 1975 Opening Day being all about the Reds beating the Dodgers, who had won the NL West in '74 primarily because of head to head domination. The '75 Reds had quite the chip on their shoulder, much in the same way they are owned by the Cardinals right now.
It does make you want to scream, but I will not resign that its "they are better than us." The records are too similar to conclude that.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
The way I see it, Freese is likely gone this year. Carpenter slides to 3rd, Wong stays at 2nd, Matt Adams moves to 1st. Allen Craig is moved to Right Field.
Taveras / Jon Jay / Shane Robinson would be the guys left vying for Center Field.... and Resigning Beltran would complicate the 1st Base/Right Field situation. It's all contingent on how Taveras recovers from surgery and looks at Spring Training....
but my bet is that Jon Jay at the very least is traded away by July of next year.
If you're gonna call someone a disappointment, back it up with a stat that's a little better than W-L record, which (just like RBIs) is completely dependent on how well the rest of your teammates perform around you.

Salma Hayek has suffered a devastating loss.
The 49-year-old actress revealed on Instagram Friday her dog, Mozart, was fatally shot. His body was found at her ranch.
"I haven't posted for a week as I been mourning the death of my dog, Mozart who I personally delivered out of his mother's womb," she wrote, alongside a photo of her pet, a German Shepard mix. "He was found dead in my ranch last Friday with a shot close to his heart."
U.S. & World
"I am hoping that the Washington State authorities do justice to this wonderful dog whom in 9 years never bit or attacked anyone," she continued. "He loved his territory and never strayed away...he was the most loving and loyal companion. He didn't deserve a slow and painful death. #doglover #animalrights #dog #dogoftheday #rip #delivery #washingtonstateauthorities."
PHOTOS: Stars with Mexican heritage
Hayek's ranch also doubles as an animal sanctuary and houses several rescue dogs, as well as horses, alpacas, parrots and other pets.
The actress said on "The Tonight Show" last summer she has nine dogs.
"I pick up dogs from the street — not even rescue from the shelter — I pick them up from the street," Hayek told "Tonight" host Jimmy Fallon.

By Jessica Roy During the Holiday season I look forward to thinking up some sort of homemade gift to make and have on hand to give out to neighbors, friends and family — especially those foodies on the list. It's really easy to make "batch gifts" with a personal touch that can also come in handy when the need for that last-minute, unexpected gift arises.
Part of the fun in homemade gifts is getting creative with the packaging or wrapping. One of my favorite ways to 'serve' a gift is in a mason jar with a hand-written tag. Just stuff the jar full, add some glittering ribbon and a personal touch, and you've got a beautiful holiday gift, ready to go.
These gift ideas are among some of my favorites, but also have an emphasis on "easy." To start, homemade vanilla extract is a huge hit. With only two ingredients (vanilla beans and vodka), the prep can't get any more minimal. Simply mix together and seal up the jar. The key here, however, is that the vanilla has to sit for a minimum of six weeks for it to fully infuse. Just write the "open on date" on your label, and the gift will be one worth waiting for. Bonus: It gets better the longer it sits.
A custom toasted spice blend also acts as a fun Christmas ornament until it finds a home in the spice cabinet. Finally, everyone loves a sweet snack. Instead of cookies, why not some candied nuts? You can change up the blend however you like, but I prefer a little cinnamon and subtle heat with a kick of cayenne pepper.
Candied Nut Mix
3 cups mixed nuts
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 Tbs.
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients (except 1 Tbs. sugar) in a bowl, and mix well so that all the nuts are coated. Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove the tray from oven. Sprinkle the remaining 1 Tbs. of sugar over the nuts and allow to cool.
Vanilla Extract
3-4 vanilla beans, split down the center
1 cup vodka
Jar or bottle
Combine the beans and vodka into a jar or bottle with a good seal. Let sit for a minimum of 6 weeks before use.
Chef's note: Vanilla beans are easy (and cheaper!) to order online. For the best deal, I use Amazon.com.
Toasted Holiday Spice Blend
1 part ground cinnamon
1/3 part ground nutmeg
1/3 part ground cloves
1/3 part ground ginger
Small jar or bottle
Combine the spices on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Allow to cool, and transfer to a jar or bottle.

Fox hasn't enjoyed a live-action comedy hit since "Malcolm in the Middle," and has learned that incorporating flesh-and-blood characters into its Sunday animation block poses a considerable challenge. So the network reaches into an old bag for the "Malcolm"-like "Sons of Tucson," whose timely premise — well-to-do kids need an aimless loser to masquerade as their father because real dad, a banker, is in prison — possesses more pop than the actual episodes. Tyler Labine brings manic energy to his role as the pseudo-pop, but the three brothers register closer to the bottom than middle of the sitcom-kid scale.
Ron Snuffkin (Labine, continuing to occupy the slacker-chic niche he mined on CW's "Reaper" and ABC's "Invasion") is toiling away as a sporting-goods clerk when the kids recruit him, offering cash to get them through an awkward situation by helping to enroll them at a new school. Since Ron is living in his car, he accepts the gig.
After no small amount of squabbling and some complications involving the principal (Kurt Fuller) and an attractive teacher (Natalie Martinez), both parties realize the other might come in handy: Ron needs a place to crash that gets cable, and the boys' precocious spokesman, Gary (Frank Dolce), recognizes that — even sitting on a stash of ill-gotten loot — if he wants to stay out of foster care, those parent-teacher nights aren't going to attend themselves.
Yet despite a connection to "Malcolm" (exec producer-director Todd Holland spent four years on the earlier show), "Tucson" hasn't done much to invigorate the formula. Mostly, the situations provide an excuse for Labine to fast-talk his way into and out of trouble, which is amusing so far as it goes. Yet while some have already compared his shtick to Jack Black, the reluctant, miscast guardian pose won't necessarily make anyone forget "Uncle Buck."
There also ought to be some kind of moratorium against sitcom kids mouthing off to adults, if only because it's irritating to anyone old enough to shave — appealing to a demo perhaps better suited to the Disney Channel than Fox.
In the premiere, Ron tells the boys, "I think we work pretty well together," which at the least sounds like a premature appraisal. On the plus side, the producers have cleverly sentenced "Tucson's" unseen dad to 25 years, which even with time off for good behavior provides the series an ample cushion in success for an extended run.

According to UNICEF figures from 2009, more than 14 percent of the adult population in Zimbabwe has HIV/AIDS. A politician in the country is drawing attention to that issue, but not in the way you might hope.
He has sparked outrage with some out-there (to put it mildly) suggestions for curbing the spread of the disease, the Huffington Post reports. Some highlights: women should shave their heads, stop bathing and make themselves look unattractive:
Morgan Femai, an MDC-T senator for Chikomo said the measures were required because men were finding it difficult to resist well-dressed, attractive women.
While addressing a parliamentary HIV awareness workshop in Kadoma on Friday, he said: "What I propose it that the government should come up with a law that compels women to have their heads clean-shaven like what the Apostolic sects do," ZimEye reports.
He added: "They should also not bath because that is what has caused all these problems."
Senator Femai also suggested female circumcision would help stop the spread of disease.
He told the workshop, which was organised in conjunction with the National Aids Council: "Women have got more moisture in their organs as compared to men so there is need to research on how to deal with that moisture because it is conducive for bacteria breeding. There should be a way to suck out that moisture."
Deborah Jack, chief executive of NAT (National AIDS Trust) told Huffington Post UK: "These suggestions of how to fight the spread of HIV are totally misleading [and] potentially really damaging."
Jack also suggested that people visit HIVaware for reality-based information about curbing the spread of HIV and AIDS.

Abbreviations : Report Help
Massimo Turina, Brad I Hillman, Keramat Izadpanah, Mina Rastgou and Cristina Rosa
A summary of this ICTV Report chapter has been published as an ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile article in the Journal of General Virology, and should be cited when referencing this online chapter as follows:
Turina, M., Hillman, B.I., Izadpanah, K., Rastgou, M., Rosa, C. and ICTV Report Consortium. 2017, ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Ourmiavirus, Journal of General Virology, 98:129–130.
Members of the genus Ourmiavirus are plant viruses with non-enveloped bacilliform virions composed of a single coat protein. The genome consists of three positive sense ssRNAs, each encoding a single protein. The virions possess a unique structure with a series of discrete lengths from 30 to 62 nm. The RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) has closest similarity to that of recently discovered invertebrate viruses related to viruses of the family Narnaviridae; the movement protein (MP) is similar to the MPs of tombusviruses; the coat protein (CP) shows limited similarity to the CPs of several plant and animal viruses. This combination of characters is not found in any other virus taxon.
Table 1.Ourmiavirus. Characteristics of Ourmiavirus
Typical member
Ourmia melon virus VE9 (RNA1: EU770623; RNA2:EU770624; RNA3: EU770625), species Ourmia melon virus, genus Ourmiavirus
Bacilliform (18 nm×30–62 nm); A single coat protein of 23.8 kDa
Tri-segmented positive-strand RNA virus (2.8; 1.1; 0.97 kb respectively)
Cytoplasmic; possible nucleolar localization of the coat protein; virion assembly coupled to active replication
From genomic uncapped RNA; each genomic segment is monocistronic.
Host Range
Unassigned genus; RdRp has similarities to recently discovered, unclassified invertebrate viruses related to members of the Narnaviridae
The bacilliform virions of Ourmiaviruses constitute a series of particles with conical ends (apparently hemi-icosahedra) and cylindrical bodies 18 nm in diameter. The bodies of the particles are composed of a series of double disks, the most common particle having two disks (particle length 30 nm), a second common particle having three disks (particle length 37 nm) with rarer particles having four disks (particle length 45.5 nm) and six disks (particle length 62 nm). There is no envelope. (Figure 1.Ourmiavirus and Figure 2.Ourmiavirus).
Figure 1.Ourmiavirus. Diagram of virion surface of a member of the genus Ourmiavirus, showing arrangement of double disks and conical ends in particles of different length. Each row of five triangles represents a double disk.
Figure 2.Ourmiavirus. Virion morphology: (A, B, C) Negative contrast electron micrographs (uranyl acetate) of purified particles of Ourmia melon virus. The bar represents 100 nm. (D, E) Features of the two commonest particle types, enhanced by photographic superimposition.
The Mr of virions and their sedimentation coefficients are not known. The buoyant density in CsCl of all particle sizes is 1.375 g cm−3. The particles are stable at pH 7. Thermally, Ourmiaviruses are relatively stable; infectivity is retained in crude sap after heating for 10 min at 70 °C but not 80 °C, and is retained after at least one freeze–thaw cycle. The particles are stable after CsCl density gradient centrifugation, treatment with Triton X-100, and treatment with chloroform but not n-butanol.
The genome is comprised of three positive sense ssRNAs. In Ourmia melon virus (OuMV), the three RNAs are 2814, 1064 and 974 nt in length. The genomic segments of the other members of the genus are similar in size (Rastgou et al., 2009).
The single structural protein (CP) of Ourmia melon virus is 23.8 kDa and is encoded by RNA3; the two non-structural proteins are the RdRp (97.5 kDa, encoded by RNA1) and the MP (31.6 kDa, encoded by RNA2). The sizes of the predicted proteins are similar for members of the other two species (Rastgou et al., 2009), Epirus cherry virus and Cassava virus C.
Each genomic RNA has one ORF (Figure 3.Ourmiavirus). RNA1 encodes a protein carrying the GDD motif typical of RdRps. There is evidence that RNA2 encodes the cell-to-cell movement protein (Crivelli et al., 2011). The product of RNA3 is the CP. A protein fusion of the CP to GFP localizes specifically to the nucleolus (Rossi et al., 2014) but there is no direct evidence of the CP in the nucleus during infection (Rossi et al., 2015). Synthesis of CP from actively replicating RNA3 is necessary for both virion assembly and systemic infection of the host (Crivelli et al., 2011). There is no evidence for the presence of subgenomic RNAs or the production of additional proteins by ribosomal read through or frameshifting. The MP may undergo post-translational modification. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of conserved residues in the MP showed their importance in determining symptoms, movement, and formation of tubular structures that may play a role in cell-to-cell movement (Margaria et al., 2016). Details of replication are not known except that CP interferes with the plant silencing defense only in the context of virus infection (Rossi et al., 2015).
Figure 3.Ourmiavirus. Diagram of the genome organization of Ourmia melon virus isolate VE9 showing the size of each RNA and the positions and sizes of the ORFs. CP, coat protein; MP, movement protein; RdRp, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
The virions of Ourmia melon virus (i.e. the assembled coat protein) are good immunogens, as are the tubular structures associated with the MP. Antisera to these proteins do not react in Western blots to proteins in extracts of plants infected with members of either of the other two virus species in the genus.
Ourmia melon virus can easily be mechanically transmitted to a wide range of dicot plants (about 40 species in 15 families have been reported), usually inducing systemic ringspots, mosaic and necrosis, with local lesions on some hosts. Tissue tropism is controlled by the KR-rich region at the amino terminus of the CP (Rossi et al., 2015). No vector has been identified but several species of weeds around infected fields are commonly infected, suggesting horizontal transmission of the virus. However, no experimental transmission has been obtained with several aphid species, the whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisia tabaci or the mite Tetranychus urticae. Attempts at transmission through soil or irrigation water were unsuccessful. Experimental seed-transmission rates are 1–2% in Nicotiana benthamiana and N. megalosiphon. Members of different species in the genus occur in geographically diverse areas and on widely different hosts, though there are experimental hosts in common.
Ourmia: from Ourmia (Urmia, Orumieh) in north-western Iran where the Ourmia melon virus was first found. (Lisa et al., 1988)
Epirus: from Epirus, Greece, where Epirus cherry virus was isolated. (Avgelis et al., 1989)
Cassava: cassava virus C has been isolated from cassava in various parts of Africa. (Aiton et al., 1988)
Viruses of the genus Ourmiavirus are exceptional, having particles of unique morphology and a unique combination of phylogenetic affinities for the three different genomic RNAs. A recent study that characterized the virome of 220 species of invertebrates has unveiled a relationship of the RdRp of Ourmiaviruses with a new clade of Ourmia-like viruses found in samples from subphylum Chelicerata and Crustacea and superphylum Lophotrochozoa (Figure 4.Ourmiavirus) (Shi et al., 2016). Fungal Ourmia-like viruses are present in a separate clade (Figure 4.Ourmiavirus). Thus, the RdRp encoded by RNA1 has affinity with the RdRp of a number of viruses from the Narnaviridae family, but is distinct from yeast viruses in the genus Narnavirus (Figure 4.Ourmiavirus). The occurrence of such a well-defined clade related to Narnaviridae could be the basis for future establishment of a new virus family, the "Ourmiaviridae": the family would comprise a genus for Ourmia-like viruses isolated from invertebrates, a genus for Ourmia-like mycoviruses, and plant viruses from the genus Ourmiavirus (Figure 4.Ourmiavirus). The MP encoded by RNA2 has clear similarities with the MPs of viruses in the family Tombusviridae (Rastgou et al., 2009). The CP shows distant affinities with the CPs of sobemo-, tombus- and luteoviruses (plant viruses) and nodaviruses (animal viruses) (Rastgou et al., 2009).
Figure 4.Ourmiavirus. Phylogenetic analysis of RdRp of Ourmiaviruses and related viruses. Amino acid sequences were aligned with Clustal and used to produce a phylogenetic tree using the Maximum Likelihood method and the LG (G+I) protein substitution model. Bootstrap values are indicated on branches supported in >70% of replicates. The tree is midpoint rooted. The tree topology shows a new clade of Ourmia-like viruses found in samples from subphylum Chelicerata and Crustacea and superphylum Lophotrochozoa. This phylogenetic tree and corresponding sequence alignment are available to download from the Resources page.
