His168 is essential for DeltapH-dependent gating of NV1.
Gating Currents in the Hv1 Proton Channel
A voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) is the main pathway for H(+) efflux that allows capacitation in sperm and permits sustained reactive oxygen species production in white blood cells. A designed peptide inhibitor C6 was identified by a phage-display strategy whereby approximately 1 million novel peptides were fabricated on an inhibitor cysteine knot scaffold and sorted on purified Hv1 protein.
The authors now report that R1H mutation is sufficient to reconstitute resting-state H(+) 'shuttle' conductance in Hv1 without abrogating the intrinsic 'aqueous' H(+) conductance.
We suggest that cleavage and heterodimerization of Hv1 represents an adaptation to the specific requirements of pH control in sperm.
Inhibition of Hv1 channels by Zn(2+).
CREBBP mutations were associated with inferior progression-free survival (PFS), whereas mutations in previously unreported HVCN1, a voltage-gated proton channel-encoding gene and B-cell receptor signaling modulator, were associated with improved PFS.
Trp207 is crucial for slow channel opening, highly temperature-dependent gating kinetics, proton selectivity, and DeltapH-dependent gating.
Our data demonstrated that the expression of Hv1 in pancreatic islet beta-cells regulates insulin secretion through regulating Ca(2+) homeostasis.
The main properties of the voltage-gated proton channel (HV1) are described in this review, along with what is known about how the channel protein structure accomplishes its functions. [review]
Hv1 activity displays hysteresis
A shorter isoform of HVCN1 with enhanced gating is specifically enriched in malignant B cells.
Divalent metal binding causes a conformational change in human the Hv1 c-terminal domain.
analysis of of the C-terminal domain of voltage-gated proton channel HV1 and the thermodynamic characteristics of Zn(2) binding to this domain
Salt bridge networks and the hydrophobic plug function as the gate in Hv1 channels; outward movement of the fourth transmembrane segment leads to the opening of this gate.
Results suggest that Hv1 may be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma, and a potential target for anticancer drugs in colorectal cancer therapy.
inhibition of Hv1 activity via Zn(2+) ions can effectively retard the cancer growth and suppress the cancer metastasis by the decrease of proton extrusion and the down-regulation of gelatinase activity
In the Hv1 voltage-gated channel a highly conserved phenylalanine is found in the charge transfer center.
Two conformational changes are detected in Hv1 channels that are involved in channel opening.
inhibition of Hv1 function via knockdown of Hv1 expression can effectively retard cancer growth
The increase in ROS production in VSOP/Hv1-deficient cells was not observed in macrophages, which suggests microglia have a unique mechanism of VSOP/Hv1-dependent ROS regulation.
This work therefore demonstrates that fully differentiated mammalian muscle fibers do not express functional voltage-gated H(+) channels and consequently can no longer be considered as the only vertebrate excitable cells exhibiting voltage-gated H(+) currents.
loss of Hv1 significantly attenuates STZ-induced beta-cell damage and ROS production in pancreatic beta-cells; results suggest that Hv1 might contribute to development of diabetes through producing ROS.
Hv1 channels therefore differentially regulate the pHp in neutrophils and macrophages, sustaining rapid acidification in macrophage phagosomes and maintaining a neutral pH in neutrophil phagosomes.
microglial Hv1 proton channel is a unique target for modulation of microglial M1/M2 polarization in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke
Alkalinity of neutrophil phagocytic vacuoles is modulated by HVCN1.
The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1/VSOP inhibits neutrophil granule release
Eosinophils require proton channel HVCN1 for optimal reactive oxygen species generation and prevention of activation-induced cell death.
Data suggest that the biochemical properties of the cytoplasmic coiled-coil domain in the Hv channel depend on the redox condition, which may play a role in redox sensing in the phagosome.
Functional expression of voltage-gated proton (Hv1) channels is characterized, for the first time, in mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells.
Hv1 channels maintain a physiological membrane potential during the respiratory burst of neutrophils by providing a compensating charge for the electrons transferred by NOX2 from NADPH to superoxide.
Review of structural organization and gating of Hv1 channels discusses relationship between gating of Hvcn1 and the gating of ion-conducting pores recently discovered in the voltage-sensing domains of mutant voltage-gated potassium and sodium channels.
HVCN1 -deficieent B cells show a defct in ROS production, which causes less signal transduction through impaired BCR-dependent oxidation of SHP-1.
Hv1 channels truncated just downstream of R2 in the S4 segment retain most channel properties.
VSOP/Hv1 proton channels sustain calcium entry, neutrophil migration, and superoxide production by limiting cell depolarization and acidification.
reported that VSOP, a four-transmembrane protein similar to the voltage-sensor domain of voltage-gated ion channels is a voltage-gated proton channel [VSOP]
VSOP/Hv1 is present in phagosome and plays role in production of reactive oxygen species.
Hv1 expression is required for measurable voltage-gated H(+) current in unstimulated phagocytes.
This gene encodes a voltage-gated protein channel protein expressed more highly in certain cells of the immune system. Phagocytic cells produce superoxide anions which require this channel protein, and in B cells this same process facilitates antibody production. This same channel protein, however, can also regulate functions in other cells including spermatozoa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

100% Qualified Pest Control Technicians
17 Years Experience in the Pest Control Industry
Members of the National Pest Technicians Association
Reading Pest Control
We deal with all types of pests throughout the Reading area, for both domestic and commercial properties.
We deal with rats, mice, squirrels, bird control, wasps and hornets. All types of insects with heat treatments for bed bugs available.
Call 07491 247 999
Reading Pest Control - all pests dealt with
We are a Reading based pest control company with a difference, and that difference is that our focus is on investigating which species of pest you have and how they gain access to your property. We deal with all pests and we are specialists in rat and mice control; all our treatments start with a comprehensive survey of the building including any adjoining premises.
Our pest control survey has to include the neighbouring properties because rats don't recognise that your home could be part of a larger structure, our aim is to find the access point and seal it for good. We also carryout CCTV drain inspections as part of our rat control treatment as the underground route is often the rats' access point into your home. We don't go straight to the use of poison, we investigate, trap and then seal the access point leaving you pest free.
Professional trained pest control for the Reading area
Our technicians are all fully trained with national qualifications, we are a family run business and we are all dedicated to providing the highest standards in pest control. We're not one of those "two visit special offer" companies or one of the companies that just want to lay poison in the property; our aim is to investigate, trap out and proof your property so once pest free – you stay that way.
The survey takes in all the building including the drainage system as this is a common route into your building for rats, through a diagnostic process we will be able to understand and control the means of access using traps and if required, rodenticide to achieve control. Once we have established control we look to seal up the access point meaning that you are 100% rat free and that you stay that way for good; integrated pest management in action.

Huntersville, NC (June 19, 2014) - Tommy Baldwin Racing heads to wine country for some left and right-handed turns this weekend and the first road course of the season at Sonoma in the Toyota/Save-Mart 350.
Driver Reed Sorenson will again have the red, white and blue patriotic paint scheme on board his No. 36 Chevrolet this weekend as Theme Park Connection continues their sponsorship. This is the third primary sponsorship race for TPC.
Theme Park Connection specializes in Disney, Entertainment, and NASCAR memorabilia. They provide props, limited edition and one-of-a-kind items for sale on a daily basis. Currently, TPC is offering NASCAR fans 10% off their future purchase with a portion of the proceeds being donated back to the Armed Forces Foundation. This in connection with Tommy Baldwin Racing's "Salute the Troops" campaign, which also continues this weekend.
At the Track: Reed Sorenson will be at the Napa Valley "NASCAR" Night in Downtown Napa at 3 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday afternoon. He will participate in a fan Q&A, followed by an autograph session.
Sorenson on Sonoma: "I haven't had too many starts at Sonoma Raceway in the past, so I am looking forward to heading out this weekend. It's great to Theme Park Connection on board again this weekend, and in my opinion, we have the best looking paint scheme out there. We're still continuing our 'Salute the Troops' campaign, and I encourage everyone to take a couple minutes to fill out a 'Thank You' card for our troops overseas."

PIQUA — The Piqua City Commission on Tuesday evening heard the first readings of two ordinances that would raise water and wastewater rates.
If approved, water rates would increase by 10 percent for each new year beginning with 2017 and ending with 2020. Wastewater rates would also increase by 20 percent each year for the next four years.
"We are faced with the issues of an almost 100-year-old water treatment plant," City Manager Gary Huff said.
Huff said that, due to standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the current plant cannot meet them, and so the building of the new water treatment plant began.
"Also included in this other infrastructure that we have to be prepared for, to operate and cover debt service, loan repayments, and so forth," Huff said, citing the pump station, the water lines for the new plant, the new water tower, and the automated metering system."These are the necessary requirements for fees to be able to pay for those facilities."
Huff said that there has been a "tremendous amount of infrastructure that has been required" by the EPA in order to meet their standards. He also explained that the city has to provide a sufficient financial plan in order to receive grants and low-interest loans and these increases are a part of those plans.
"The city, in large part due to EPA mandates, has and will continue in the future to invest in multiple water facility and infrastructure replacements and updates," Finance Director Cynthia Holtzapple said, citing the projects that Huff mentioned. "Generous donations, over $1 million in grants, and borrowing at historically low interest rates have helped with overall costs."
Holtzapple added later that the overall goal of the city is to keep water rates as low as possible.
According to an exhibit included in the agenda, the average monthly rate for a residential home with four people will increase from $61.88 to $68.07. For a small commercial business, it will increase from $137.15 to $147.09. For an industrial business, it will increase from $2,041.63 to $2,245.16.
The charges for the installation of new water services is also set to increase for the next four years in this ordinance.
"I hate to have an increase on anything," Commissioner Joe Wilson said.
Wilson said that if the commission decided just to say no and not comply with the EPA standards that the city would lose their license and face a fine of up to $10,000 per day.
Huff also noted that "someone would go to jail" if the city did not meet those unfunded EPA requirements that the city has to pay to have completed.
Wilson also cited Flint, Mich., which is still recovering from their water crisis in which the city of Flint was found to have lead in their water supply starting around April 2014.
"We have no choice," Wilson said, calling the increases "painful" to make.
Wastewater service fees will also increase by 20 percent each year for the next four years under the following ordinance, which do not appear to be effective until October. The base charges of operation and maintenance as well as capital costs appear to be combined under the new system. The previous combined cost for the total base charge of $9.66 for the first 1,000 gallons per month will increase to $16.67 in October and to $20 in 2018.
After the first 1,000 gallons, the volume charge per 1,000 gallons will increase from the combined cost of $3.05 to $5.27 in October and $6.32 in 2018.
Those increased costs were also attributed to unfunded EPA mandates that require significant wastewater plant expansion to be made.
Commissioner Bill Vogt questioned why it was 20 percent versus 10 percent.
Holtzapple said that the city investigated cheaper options before having to go through with a wastewater plant expansion project. Holtzapple also explained that wastewater facilities do not last as long as water treatment plants, so the borrowing times for loan may be shorter terms.
Holtzapple also explained that funds for the water and wastewater facilities have to be self-supporting, meaning that the city does not have the option to subsidize those improvements with the city's general fund.
"We have a lot of people in this city that are on Social Security … they're not getting 20 percent increases," Vogt said. "It's hard for me to do this to people. I don't know what the answer is."
In other news:
The commission approved 2 percent raises for city employees along with the employee insurance for 2017, waiving the third reading of those ordinances.
The remainder of the agenda items were voted on after press time.

A new consultation has been published by the Ministry of Justice looking at radically overhauling the legal requirements for divorce in England & Wales. The consultation is running until 10th December 2018.
There is currently a Bill before Parliament looking at the financial provision within divorce and together with the recent high profile case of Owens v Owens it has highlighted the outdated nature of the legal process on divorce.
The current law in England and Wales – which has remained unchanged for fifty years –sets requirements which can themselves introduce or aggravate conflict, and which encourage a focus on the past, rather than on making arrangements for the future.
The Government believes there is now broad consensus that the current divorce process does not serve the needs of a modern society. Difficulties with the current law have also been highlighted recently before the Supreme Court. In particular, the current divorce process is complicit in exposing children to the damaging impact of ongoing adult conflict during, and too often after, the process. While the wider family justice system is focused on helping people to resolve family issues in a non-confrontational way, the legal divorce process can make this more difficult because of the way it incentivises the attribution of what is perceived as blame. Parents in particular, who need to continue to work together in their children's bests interests, may struggle to overcome feelings of hostility and bitterness caused by the use of "fault" to satisfy a legal process.
Under the current requirements, couples must either live apart for a substantial period of time before a divorce can be obtained, or else one spouse must make allegations about the other spouse's conduct. This is sometimes perceived as showing that the other spouse is "at fault". Three out of five people who seek divorce make allegations about the other spouse's conduct. Both routes can cause further stress and upset for the divorcing couple, to the detriment of outcomes for them and any children. There have been wide calls to reform the law to address these concerns, often framed as removing the concept of "fault".
Marriage is a solemn commitment, and the process of divorce should reflect the seriousness of the decision to end a marriage. The Government believes that the law should not exacerbate conflict and stress at what is already a difficult time. The Government accepts the principle that it is not in the interests of children, families and society to require people to justify their decision to divorce to the court.
The proposals
The divorce process would retain irretrievable breakdown as the sole ground for divorce but remove the current requirement for the petitioner to give evidence of conduct or separation. Instead, one or potentially both parties will petition the court with a notice of the intention to divorce. The court will no longer need to check the particulars of the evidence but will continue to check other evidential aspects of the notice to the court (for example, to make certain that the court has the jurisdiction to act, that there is a valid marriage to dissolve, and to guard against fraudulent petitions).
The court will then be able to grant a provisional decree of divorce (the decree nisi) if these other requirements are satisfied and, following an application by either party after a statutory period of time has elapsed, may ask the court to make the divorce final by granting the decree absolute, as under the current law.
The two stage process (decree nisi and decree absolute) it is proposed remains but with a change to the minimum time frame between the issue of both decrees. There is currently a minimum time frame of 6 weeks and a day between the two decrees. There are arguments for the time frame to be extended but with potentially a shorter timeframe for specific circumstances.
Another proposal is to remove the right to contest the divorce. The case of Owens v Owens is exceptional, but it does illustrate the difficult position of one spouse who, it is reported, feels legally trapped in a marriage she regards as over.
The Government believes that as a general rule it serves no purpose – whether to the parties or to the state – to keep the opportunity to contest the divorce. Most divorce petitions in practice support a one-sided account that may not reflect the real reason for the breakdown of the marriage. Few respondents want to spend time and money on contesting the particulars in the petition, especially if they agree that the marriage is over. If one party has decided that the marriage is over then, arguably, the marriage is at an end. A marriage benefits the family and society only where each party is committed to the other. Any other marriage is a marriage in name only, the "empty legal shell" in the words of the Law Commission over fifty years ago.
The responses to the consultation will be published in March 2019 and it will be interesting to see if the Financial Provisions bill is also incorporated into the reform.

According to Dr Keith Strickland, Chief Technology Officer at Plessey, monolithic microLEDs are the only viable solution to design products compact enough to be worn without restricting the overall experience for AR and VR applications and in HUDs, while being power efficient and bright enough.
The demonstrator, which was produced in collaboration with Artemis Optical, combines Plessey's monolithic display, based on an array of microLEDs integrated alongside an active matrix backplane, with the patented film technology and a single lens arrangement from Artemis.
The combination of technologies removes ambient light in the wavelength matching the microLED display output, resulting in a HUD that delivers very high display brightness with low power consumption, in a format that is considerably smaller than existing HUD designs.

What Is Going To Happen In 2017
Happy New Year Everyone. Yesterday we focused on the past, today we are going to focus on the future, specifically this year we are now in. Here's what I expect to happen this year:
- Trump will hit the ground running, cutting corporate and personal taxes, and eliminating the preferential treatment of carried interest capital gains. The stock market has already factored in these tax cuts so it won't be as big of a boon for investors as might be expected, but the seven and half year bull market run will be extended as a result of this tax cut stimulus before being halted by rising rates and/or some boneheaded move by President Trump which seems inevitable. We just don't know the timing of it. The loss of capital gains treatment on carried interest won't hurt professional investors too much because the lower personal tax rates will take the sting out of it. In addition, corporations will use the lower tax rates as an excuse to bring back massive amounts of capital that have been locked up overseas, producing a cash surplus that will result in an M&A boom. This will lead to an even more fuel to the fire that is causing "old line" corporations to acquire startups.
- The IPO market, led by Snapchat, will be white hot. Look for entrepreneurs and the VCs that back them to have IPO fever in 2017. I expect we will see more tech IPOs in 2017 than we have since 2000.
- The ad:tech market will go the way of search, social, and mobile as investors and entrepreneurs concede that Google and Facebook have won and everyone else has lost. It will be nearly impossible to raise money for an online advertising business in 2017. However, there will be new players, like Snapchat, and existing ones, like Twitter, that succeed by offering advertisers a fundamentally different offering than Facebook and Google do.
- The SAAS sector will continue to consolidate, driven by a trifecta of legacy enterprise software companies (like Oracle), successful SAAS companies (like Workday), and private equity firms all going in search of additional lines of business and recurring subscription revenue streams.
- AI will be the new mobile. Investors will ask management what their "AI strategy" is before investing and will be wary of companies that don't have one.
- Tech investors will start to adopt genomics as an additional "information technology" investment category, blurring the distinction between life science and tech investors that has existed in the VC sector for the past thirty years. This will lead to a funding frenzy and many investments will go badly. But there will be big winners to be had in this sector and it will be an important category for VCs for the foreseeable future.
- Google, Facebook, and to a lesser extent Apple and Amazon will be seen as monopolists by government and individuals in the US (as they have been for years outside the US). Things like the fake news crisis will make clear to everyone how reliant we have become on these tech powerhouses and there will be a backlash. It will be Microsoft redux and the government will seek remedies which will be futile. But as in the Microsoft situation, technology, particularly decentralized applications built on open data platforms (ie blockchain technology), will come to the rescue and reduce our reliance on these monopolies. This scenario will take years to play out, but the seeds have been sown and we will start to see this scenario play out in 2017.
- Cyberwarfare will be front and center in our lives in the same way that nuclear warfare was during the cold war. Crypto will be the equivalent of bomb shelters and we will all be learning about private keys, how to use them, and how to manage them. A company will make crypto mainstream via an easy to use interface and it will become the next big thing.
These are my big predictions for 2017. If my prior track record is any indication, I will be wrong about more of this than I am right. The beauty of the VC business is you don't have to be right that often, as long as you are right about something big. Which leads to going out on a limb and taking risks. And I think that strategy will pay dividends in 2017. Here's to a new year and new challenges to overcome.

While Mercedes-Benz had yet another 1-2 finish at the Formula 1 season opener at Australia, there was a story of redemption brewing in Albert Park. That was Honda, and they have shown the world that they can, indeed - build an engine that can run with the big boys of the sport.
After years of struggling with pace and a difficult partnership with McLaren, the Japanese automaker seems to have found their match with Red Bull Racing. Formula 1 pundits initially met Red Bull Racing's move to Honda power with skepticism. Following Max Verstappen's podium finish at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix however, the move appears to have been the right one.
Verstappen wrung out the Honda-powered Red Bull during qualifying, netting him a fourth place start on the grid. On race day, the Dutch racer had a battle with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, and steamed past him on lap 30 entering a DRS zone. From there, the Red Bull just kept pulling away from the Ferrari as Verstappen then set his sights on Mercedes-Benz's Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen kept a consistent gap while trying to chase Hamilton, but ran out of laps to snatch second place from the reigning champion.
Despite not being able to pass Hamilton, Verstappen did what McLaren couldn't, which was give Honda their first podium since their return to the sport in 2015. The last time they were there, it was almost 11 years ago with Reubens Barrichello at the 2008 British Grand Prix.
There's another reason for Honda to celebrate too. Toro Rosso also scored a point with Daniil Kvyat finishing in tenth. It's also worth noting that all Honda-powered cars finished the race, showing the field that reliability has been improved from the McLaren days.

Robin Fernando and Paint It Gold are excited to announce a huge hip hop double bill when Los Angeles MC and Producer Kid Ink and British Rapper Tinie Tempah take over Logan Campbell Centre on March 1.
There's absolutely nobody quite like the tattooed-from-head-to-toe impresario. Cruising past all boundaries, Kid Ink seamlessly slips from an irresistible hook into an impeccable verse, effortlessly bobbing and weaving between the club and the streets. His major-label debut, My Own Lane, invited audiences from various genres into his world.
Last Christmas, Kid Ink dropped Summer in Winter with the single 'Promise' (featuring Fetty Wap) spending 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, clocking up over 100 million views on YouTube. Now Kid Ink says he's gone back to basics with his new mixtape RSS2 (Rocketshipshawty 2) which features many West Coasters and appearances from the likes of King Los and Jeremih. Kid Ink heads down under ahead of a massive European tour that's slated to raise his reputation as an exciting live act to even greater heights.
London-based rapper Tinie Tempah is scheduled to release his third studio album Youth in January 2017. Even before its release, Youth is an album that's packed with hits with 'Not Letting Go' (featuring Jess Glynne), the KDA/Katy B collab 'Turn The Music Louder' and 'Girls Like' (featuring Zara Larsson) all included. Tinie has now had as many #1s in the UK as Michael Jackson, U2, Kylie, Robbie Williams and Elton John, and is the artist with the most UK no.1s this decade.
Tickets on sale at 9am on December 20 via Just The Ticket for a show that brings the best of American and British hip hop together under one roof.

The moving market is terribly underserved.
There are plenty businesses serving the actual packing and carrying of household goods. There are plenty of services that help people find apartments. But the real pain of moving comes from all of the account and paperwork management of moving out and moving in.
You have to get money orders, set up utilities and ISP accounts, fill out forms, provide written notices, conduct move-in and move-out walkthroughs, provide proof of income, and more. In my experience, all of this become a part-time job for the mover.
What if an agent could do all that for you, just like a travel agent books trips and excursions? I could see this being a valuable service. These moving agencies could be authorized by the mover to handle most communications with apartment complexes or other landlords, simplifying the requirements for movers to simply placing signatures on documents.
Moving these days has become a specialized job that requires real research. It's time specialists started capitalizing on the need, and it's time moving became easier (and more common) as a result.

By Todd Marcum
Collectively, enrollments in journalism and communication schools nationwide fell two years in a row for the first time in two decades, according to an annual study conducted by the University of Georgia's James M. Cox Jr. Center for International Mass Communication Training and Research. Some schools have seen consistent double digit tumbles in the percentage of aspiring journalists.
Does it matter? I think it does.
I could go into my mini-treatise of how the news crisis in America will rival the banking crisis, how as a society we have willingly sacrificed accuracy for speed, and why the Internet's parasitic relationship with the news media has crippled the capacity of the news industry . . . perhaps another rant . . . I mean blog. But the decline of people studying journalism troubles me personally, because some of the most interesting people I have ever known are journalists.
While acknowledging the genie has been let out of the bottle, so far as the Internet usurping traditional channels, journalism will remain an exciting career. Successful journalists will have to be more visionary and entrepreneurial than ever before. The need for content is not going away, in fact, people are consuming information at a rate far greater than ever before. Figuring out how to make a dollar out of it is the rub; this is fascinating and profitable for journalists who figure out how to bell the cat.
For me, the real problem lies with the reduction of the number of capable professionals that the study of journalism produces, even of those people may never become newspaper writers.
A journalism degree teaches an ordered, inquisitive approach that is useful in other careers. Several folks here at Access have J-School degrees. A few other former journalism students who are slightly more famous than Anthony Hardman include Denzel Washington, Phil Knight, Sallie Krawcheck, Sarah Palin, Brad Pitt, Lisa Caputo, and fellow graduate of Marshall University's W. Page Pitt School of Journalism, Soupy Sales.
The challenge of the modern J-School will not simply be to teach kids to write, but also to teach them to extrapolate value from their thoughts and words in ways that transcend covering the courthouse beat.
So what's it all mean for the student who has a passion for journalism? There has never been a shortage of useful and rewarding employment for thinkers, communicators, storytellers and entertainers. Today's young journalism stars will essentially have the opportunity to bypass the traditional distribution channels and take their stories directly to the reader. At the same time, this must be balanced with restraint and ethics, and underpinned with business acumen. It's a tricky time to be a journalist, but in many ways there has never been a better opportunity.

Learn about our editorial policy Adrienne Dellwo Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MD on December 17, 2015 Emmy Ludwig, MD, is board-certified in gastroenterology and hepatology. She practices at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Learn about our Medical Review Board Emmy Ludwig, MD Updated on October 22, 2019 OMG/Getty Images More in CFS & Fibromyalgia Related Conditions Symptoms Integrative Therapies Causes & Risk Factors Diagnosis Treatment Living With Support & Coping Understanding Fibromyalgia Understanding CFS View All Fibromyalgia (FMS), chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) frequently go together. No one really knows why, but we do know that all three conditions can include imbalances of the chemical serotonin, although in FMS and ME/CFS it's an imbalance in the brain, while with IBS it's in the gut. Like FMS and ME/CFS, IBS by itself can be debilitating and can impose a lot of restrictions on your diet and lifestyle. Anything that causes pain or stresses in your body can exacerbate FMS/ME/CFS symptoms, so it's especially important to treat your IBS. With some effort, IBS symptoms typically can be well managed. What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome? When you have IBS, your intestine does not function properly. The intestine itself is fine, but some people may have a lower pain tolerance when it comes to intestinal stretching and movement, or they could possibly have disordered intestinal muscle movement. People with IBS can have urgent diarrhea or constipation or can have alternating bouts of each. They also have frequent abdominal pain. While most people with FMS don't have abdominal pain related to digestion, IBS pain often feels similar to the pain of FMS. Researchers don't yet know why IBS develops, but they do know that it often starts after severe gastroenteritis (so-called "stomach flu") or an extremely stressful event. Researchers currently are looking into what's called the brain-gut connection in order to better understand the relationship between stress and IBS. Why Do These Illnesses Go Together? The short answer to the question of why these conditions often occur together is, "Nobody knows." The long answer is, at this stage, speculative. Similarities that are worth researchers' time include: All three conditions may involve serotonin imbalancesIBS and ME/CFS both can begin after another illnessEach of these conditions is strongly linked to stress Right now, we don't know the underlying causes of any of these conditions, and we likely won't understand their relationship until we better understand their causes and mechanisms. However, based on research, an emerging umbrella term is central sensitivity syndromes. Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms of IBS include pretty much any unpleasant abdominal symptoms you can think of. Along with constipation and/or diarrhea, major symptoms are: Nausea and vomitingGasBloatingAbdominal distention Symptoms not associated with IBS Bloody stoolAnemiaAbdominal pain and cramping that wakes you up or keeps you awakeSignificant, unintentional weight loss Any time you have a marked change in bowel function, talk to your doctor. Don't dismiss any of these symptoms as just another aspect of FMS or ME/CFS, because neither of those conditions involves them. Diagnosing IBS Another thing IBS has in common with FMS and ME/CFS is that it's a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning it has to be made based on symptoms rather than tests. Before diagnosing you with IBS, your doctor may need to rule out inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), colon cancer, food sensitivities, and other conditions with similar symptoms. IBS Treatment IBS generally is a chronic condition, but you have a lot of options for feeling significantly better. Drug treatments for IBS generally include: Prescription diarrhea medicationsPrescription constipation medicationsOver-the-counter medicationsDietary changesStress management techniques Sticking to a treatment regimen can minimize your symptoms, which means they'll have much less impact on your life as well as on FMS or ME/CFS. Having Irritable Bowel Syndrome & FMS/ME/CFS When you're dealing with multiple conditions, make sure all your doctors and your pharmacist are aware of the medications, supplements, and dietary limitations you face. (Some medications may include ingredients that bother you.) The good news is that IBS treatments don't generally conflict with FMS/ME/CFS treatments, and the focus on a healthy diet can be beneficial to your overall health. One key to feeling better is learning all you can about your condition. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

This summer has really become such a blur!
Different from previous summers, I actually went into this one with a realistic plan! While there was no strict schedule to follow, there has also not been any flying around by the seat of our pants either. We've maintained more of a delicate balance, if you will, and it has completely worked for us! (More on this another day!)
My main goal, as far as the blog, has been to move everything over from my previous platform to this current one! Believe it or not, I started this process way back in April, and I only just finished it this week! An arduous process, for sure, and I know that the vast majority likely would have finished it all much more quickly than I, but I'm okay with that! We're here, it's done, and I'm ready to move forward!
What have you guys been up to this summer?
For us, we've celebrated my little girl's 5th birthday!
Made some slime
Did a little sidewalk chalk (because what's a summer without it!?)
And shared a few secrets
I hope your summer has been equally as fulfilling as ours has been so far! I'd love to know in the comments what you and yours have been up to and what awaits you in these final weeks of summer!
I know, for us, we have a HUGE surprise in the works for our kids. My husband and I are falling all over ourselves trying to keep this secret a secret, if you can feel our pain! It will be so nice to finally let this cat out of the bag…Not much longer now!!

text: Finally uploaded this! I had to film it 3x before I got it right. I know a lot of people are asking/wondering about romantic relationships, boyfriends, friendships, etc. I decided to keep those things out of this video to respect their privacy. I will say that I was finally allowed to start dating at 16. Fun times. Otherwise, I'm an open book and we can talk about different things at different times — like in my memoirs! 😉 Haha Hope you all enjoyed this video! I really liked sharing things with you all. xoxo Jess

Waiver of claim – a comparative view
The profound amendments carried out in the Romanian civil law at the same time as the effective date of the new Civil Code were intended, inter alia, to link the legislation to the new social context, characterized by the rapidity of the trade exchanges and the development of a new economic model. In this respect, we note, as an example, the regulation of the assignment of contract and of the debt assumption, which are mechanisms providing increased flexibility in the economic relationships, such as the substantive changes in the matter of the performance of obligations, meeting the same utilitarian considerations. This study is aimed at examining the manner in which the new vision of the lawmaker was reflected in the matter of settlement of the obligations, in the specific case of waiver of the claim. Such a measure is justified, in this context, by the practical usefulness of this mechanism, for instance, in case of bank contracts (especially in case of claims portfolios) or of the utilities contracts, in which it is often called into question the need for such an operation, under the circumstances of granting certain concessions. At the same time, from the theoretical point of view, a study intended for the effects produced as a result of waiver of the claim enables us to deeply examine the legal nature of the waiver, in the context in which a part of the respective doctrine identifies the debt repayment with the waiver, as well as the detailed examination of the existing relationship between this legal act and the civil obligation. The first part of the article is intended to the study of the comparative law, since it represents an extremely useful methodological instrument, under the circumstances in which, at the national level, the approached topic was not subject to a broad debate in academic environment. Considering that the main role of the comparative law consists in the creation of an examination background enabling "the critical reflection on our legal culture", therefore such a study is imperative. The second part of the article is intended to the examination of the waiver of the claim in the Romanian law, both in the light of the old regulation, and in the light of the new regulations introduced by the new Civil Code, and the respective examination shall take into account the distinctions and arguments resulting from the comparative law. Thus, following an overview of the stage of the respective issue in the old Civil Code, we shall try to provide an answer in relation to the effects of this mechanism in the new Code, by examining certain distinct assumptions from which, by way of interpretation, the Romanian lawmaker could reason the regulation of e new method of settlement of the obligations, namely the waiver of the claim. Finally, we herein state that this article does not contain any claims of comprehensiveness, but it is rather aimed to be a beginning of a more detailed debate in relation to this mechanism, considering that this topic was seldom approached in Romania.

Op-Ed"I Play Games for a Living"Op-Ed - RSS 2.0
I recently attended an impromptu family reunion in North Texas, the occasion being the funeral of a relative. It had been a year at least since I'd been in the area, and seven years or so since I'd left the state to pursue a career in entertainment media. Little had changed about Texas in the intervening years (except it'd gotten even bigger, if you can believe that) but a lot had changed for me, including but not limited to the fact that I'd wangled a way to make money off playing games. Few of my relatives were impressed.
"I'm a writer," I say, for the 14th time, in response to the inveterate staple of social interaction, the question "what do you do for a living?" This time uttered by a distant relative I haven't seen in over 20 years. I foolishly expect that answer to be sufficient. It isn't.
"You write screenplays or books, or what?" He asks innocently, not having any real clue how one makes a living as a writer, but trying to be supportive. My reply deflates his attempt at conversation like a strip of "severe tire damage spikes" placed across the roadway of our abortive interaction.
"I write about videogames," I say. "On the internet."
"Oh," he says, nodding politely, his attention already turned away, looking for someone else to talk to. I would sock him in the nose (literally or figuratively) if he wasn't a relative.
Every game writer has his own reasons for working in the industry. Some are hoping for an express ticket into working on games (and not a few succeed). Others "fall" into it, either fresh out of school, or as refugees from other reporting fields. Still others are genuinely lazy (and lucky) and are just in it for the free games, the swag, the parties and the relatively easy life. We've all got a story, but whatever our motive, it's a gig easily confused with not having a job at all - and getting paid for it.
Most of us, at the base of it, get paid to play videogames. "But that's not all there is to it," we attempt to explain to would-be friends and relatives, then fall eerily silent as we realize the "more" doesn't quite add up to "work" in the parlance of people who already think we're retards.
"Your mother says you travel a lot?" another relative, a great uncle, asks.
I attempt to describe to him the harrowing schedule of jetting across the country almost one week per month to attend gaming conventions, at which I'm expected to ... get paid to play games. "They also serve me free food and drink. They also give me things." I realize I'm not exactly helping my case. His attention wanders, and I find myself alone.
Whether you agree with the stereotype of the typical gamer or not, it exists, and like most stereotypes, the portrait of the adult gamer as post-adolescent cultural washout is based at least on some semblance of reality. Enough to coalesce that picture into a paint-by-numbers template near enough the image of an actual working adult gamer to confuse even the most adroit social analyst. To most people, we're all still boys in bedrooms, Peter Pans with joystick thumb who're putting one over on society at large and laughing all the way to the credit union.

Having to deal with some type of conflict on a regular basis is a normal situation for many people in Virginia and across the country. These disputes are often settled verbally. When altercations turn physical, those involved may find themselves facing a criminal charge. One man was recently arrested and charged after allegedly setting a fire and assaulting a woman and her child.
Man facing more than 1 criminal charge after alleged arson
Man accused of assault against Virginia police officer
Many Virginia residents may not be aware of the legal avenues available to them after being accused of a crime. Those accused may benefit from speaking with an attorney for a better understanding of the charges and guidance on what to do next. One man is likely considering his defense options after being charged with assault against a police officer.
Virginia man facing criminal charge in the death of special agent
When Virginia residents are accused of serious crimes, they may not know where to turn. In most situations, obtaining legal counsel is a necessary first step for those facing a criminal charge. A young man is likely now working with a defense attorney after being charged with several violent crimes after the death of a Virginia State Police special agent.
Teenager, woman charged with assault in Virginia Beach
Many people find themselves in a conflict with others at varying points of their lives. Most conflicts involve the exchange of words but can become heated. Unfortunately, a teenager and a woman in Virginia Beach have been charged with assault in connection with an incident involving a man who reportedly admitted to damaging the woman's vehicle.
Virginia man accused of assault, abduction
It is relatively easy to make accusations against a person. In some cases, a simple phone call is all it takes to initiate a police investigation. In fact, a warrant has been issued for a man in Virginia after a woman claims he took her 6 month-old baby from her. He faces charges of assault and abduction.
Virginia massage therapist accuses man of sexual assault
Police in Virginia are obligated to investigate accusations made against others. However, a person can only be convicted of criminal charges if there is sufficient evidence to prove that a person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Unfortunately, police have recently filed charges against a Virginia man accused of sexual assault.
Virginia man accused of assault following standoff
Each family in Virginia has its own unique dynamics. While some families may be calm and without conflict at all times, other families may be more volatile. Regardless of the tendency toward calm or volatile, violence as a result of a family conflict is relatively rare. However, one man was recently charged with assault following an alleged altercation with his wife.
Teenager faces criminal charge following Virginia incident
Crimes are often incredibly complex. Investigations often take months to complete, and even then, the results may be inconclusive. However, police in Virginia say they have already discovered enough details about a recent incident to allow them to file a criminal charge against a teenager even though they only had two days to fully understand the details of what appears to be a complicated situation.
Sailor in Virginia charged with rape
Social media has changed the way many people live their lives. Many users stay in contact with friends and family, conduct business and meet new people through websites such as Facebook. However, police in Virginia argue that a 27-year-old sailor used the platform to conduct a sexual relationship with a girl under the age of 13. He is now accused of rape.
Virginia man faces criminal charge in wife's death
What goes on behind the closed doors of a family home is often a mystery. In some cases, a family may present an entirely different picture to the world than the reality of the relationship within their home. Regardless, relatively few families in Virginia experience any form of domestic violence. However, one man now faces a criminal charge following the death of his wife.

Look what we just got!!
It's exactly what I've always wanted
A very extra special thing
For it's useful and quite pleasant
And it's just the sort of present that is
Fit for a king!
– Douglas Moore and Raymond Abrashkin, Puss In Boots, Children's Record Guild
It is a tagine!
We're so excited. Doubly! Because, yes. The tagine is unglazed!
Because the shop is quite small and run by a husband and wife team, who are often out to give classes, or make deliveries, we had to make an appointment. After a little difficulty understanding that the call was NOT a scam artist to tell us about our Windows computer. Suddenly when I was grilling the caller about what he wanted, I heard the word "tagine". Just as suddenly, I was much friendlier and it was arranged that we would go to his shop on a Friday afternoon at 3pm.
The day before, when we got back from grocery shopping, there were two messages on our machine. After listening to them, my first impulse was to erase them. Here's what I heard:
message 1: [hesitantly] …hello? [~click~]
message 2: [resolutely and slowly] four. one. six. four. three. six. seven. one. four. three. [~click~]
As I was about to hit "delete", I recognized the man's voice! T called back to learn that the fellow wanted to change the meeting time.
When we arrived at Haven Furnishings, we were greeted warmly in the crowded small warehouse/shop that is full of many many tagines (glazed and unglazed), beautiful inlaid tables, and ornate wrought metal lanterns. A large lantern was marked "not for sale – rental only".
The man had set aside two unglazed tagines for us – one quite small and one larger, with a 10″ diameter bottom saucer. We asked for the larger one; he picked it up and tapped on the bottom to show that it "tinged". What a beautiful sound!
Ari was very enthusiastic about telling us how to care for it. He asked if we knew what to do. T said, "yes, soak it for an hour" and the man laughed, looked at me with twinkle in his eye, and said, "He likes fast food!"
As he explained about how to season the tagine and the warranty, he said he would be able to tell if we cheated on the time of the pre-soaking – it would crack in the middle.
We carefully followed his instructions and were amazed that the tagine really did bubble on step one of the process!! We had to use the bathtub because, aside from the kitchen sink, that was the only place large enough.
Seasoning a New Unglazed Tagine
- Cover with cold water and leave to soak overnight. You may see bubbles.
- The next morning, generously brush olive oil over the inside and rims of base and ALL of top. Add a little water if you want.
- Put into a cold oven. Bake at 300F for 2 hours.
- Turn off the oven and leave the tagine to cool.
Some darkening or staining should be expected with the use of a tagine; this is a desirable characteristic. According to Moroccan cookbook author Paula Wolfert, you can speed up this darkening by "curing" the tagine instead of just seasoning it. This can be done by rubbing ashes along with oil on the tagine and then leaving the tagine in a slow oven for eight hours or longer. Sounds messy, but the tagine should take on a beautiful, aged look.
The Spruce Eats: How to Season a Tagine
To season a new unglazed tagine: Fill the shallow bottom dish with water or milk, place it in a cold oven, and set the temperature to 350°F. Bake the pot for thirty minutes, turn off the heat, and let it cool in the slowly receding heat. Then drain off the liquid, wash the pot, dry it well, and rub with olive oil.
-Paula Wolfert, Introduction | Types of Pots, Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking, p xvi
- YouTube: Season a Tagine
The next morning, we couldn't stop admiring it! Not even the charming begging from the furry black fiend distracted us.
Naturally, almost as soon as the tagine was ready to use, we tried it out. Of course we did!
What did we make? A tagine, of course!
We would have used preserved lemons if we had had any. But we didn't. It turns out that it didn't matter. The lemons ended up tasting exactly as if they had been preserved.
Initially, we were going to have chicken with lemons and olives but then T did some searching on the internet to come up with saffroned meat balls with lemons and olives (T sort of followed this BBC Good Food recipe).
We thought the saffron might get lost. We were wrong.
The. Resulting. Tagine. Was. Fabulous.
T used the oven to cook the tagine, but next time, we will do it on the stove top – with a spacer placed over the electric burner to protect the tagine from cracking. (Remind me to rave about the chicken tagine T made a couple of nights later!)
J'adore slow food!
Paula Wolfert
Apparently, Paula Wolfert is THE English speaking expert on clay pot cooking – especially tagines. We have seen her books at the library. We have even read them before.
Suddenly, they are even more compelling reading than before. And while Paula Wolfert says you don't have to have a tagine but goes on to urge you to get one, I am adamant that if you like Moroccan food (who doesn't?) then you neeeeeeeed a tagine.
Must you acquire [a tagine]? No, you don't have to-but you really should. A tagine will make it possible to cook Moroccan food the authentic way and present your dished beautifully at table, and the results will great reward you. […] [T]he tagine is an ingenious device in which a huge category of Moroccan dishes are best prepared. […] [T]he vast majority of Moroccan dishes are best cooked slowly in earthenware. For reasons having to do wiht the recycling of moisture due to the conical shape of the lid and the final flavor-rich toasting once most of that moisture has been cooked off or absorbed, tagines make it possible to achieve a succulence and depth of flavor obtainable no other way.
Paula Wolfert, Introduction | The Food of Morocco, p10
Tagines cook food beautifully, and they are relatively inexpensive. The high conical-or dome-shaped-cover, which fits into the shallow base, acts as a kind of closed chimney. Since the heat on a stovetop comes from below, the top of the cover remains cooler than the rest of the pot, which causes steam to condense and drip back onto the stew, preventing the food from drying out.
-Paula Wolfert, Introduction | Types of Pots, Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking, p xvi
We found the perfect storage spot at
the bottom of the cookbook shelf in the kitchen!
(Sure, the fondue set had to be relegated to sit under the bookshelf,
next to the tortilla press in the turquoise bag,
but who – aside from the cat – cares?)
edit 12 December 2018: Last night, as we were savouring a Thai curry that T had made in our tagine, he reminded me why we suddenly neeeeeeeeded to get this wonderful device. It was because he was re-reading one of our back issues of SAVEUR:
[W]hen I heard that the company that makes [the Römertopf clay pot], I decided to reacquaint myself with my roaster's charms. After a week of savoring perfectly moist fish, nicely browned lamb, and deliciously crusty bread, I became a clay pot convert all over again.
Even before mud was shaped and heated to be made into cooking vessels, the ancient Etruscans of Italy wrapped meat in wet clay and set it directly into burning embers: as the clay hardened, it sealed in the food's juices and prevented it from drying out. Since then, numerous styles of day cookware have evolved. Curious about my Römertopf's rich pedigree, I got in touch with Paula Wolfert, the California-based culinary scholar, who is working on a cookbook devoted to clay pot traditions from around the world. She explained to me that earthen-ware's prime appeal is its ability to distribute heat evenly and, in the case of unglazed versions, retain moisture — whether you're using a Römertopf, a Bulgarian gyuvech (a ceramic pot), a Tuscan mattone (a terra-cotta vessel often used for pressing and crisping chicken), a Spanish cazuela (casserole), or a cone-shaped North African tagine.
– Maria Speck, Good Earth, SAVEUR No. 116, December 2008, p18-19
In Morocco, conical, unglazed earthenware tagines are used to prepare a wide variety of spicy and sweet stews (also called tagines). The architecture of the vessels is no accident; their sloping lids collect rising steam and allow moisture to rain over the food as it cooks.
– Kendra Racouillat, The Clay Way, SAVEUR No. 116, December 2008, p19

Featuring the one of a kind lacy dangles that she calls "Molten Lace," Mollie Meserve forges these sterling silver earrings by hand, ensuring that each is a unique work of artisan jewelry.
Handmade especially for a woman who chooses her fashion to make an individualistic statement that's completely her own, a pair of these designer earrings are sure to be a favorite for many years to come.
From the top curves of Mollie's handcrafted hook earwires, the earrings shown in these photographs measure approximately 1 1/2 inch in overall length, and the "lace" dangles are about an inch in diameter.
With a wink to Trompe-l'œil, the open rings forming each filigree dangle may appear to present eyelet lace, snowflakes or flowers. After all, it's in the eye of the beholder.
As Mollie creates each metalwork piece individually, no two earrings will be exactly alike in size, shape or pattern. Your pair will be made to order and carefully matched, but will present variations similar to those in the images.
A helpful hint: Silver is traditional for the 25th wedding anniversary.
