aww I wanted someone to tell that last caller that the Mueller investigation actually made something like 52 million from Manafort, just to put to rest the last little bit of her argument.

i don't know if the podcast producers read these comments, but since you report that technically, the president can give his permission to for private entities to use (and profit from) the presidential seal, and that he has apparently given only one private entity, the trump org, that permission, i say we inundate the president with requests to use the seal. a bar, a barber shop, a band, birthday parties, bed and breakfast decor, etc... if the sole permission for AMERICA'S presidential seal to be used for profit by a private company goes to trump org, we have clear evidence that trump is, at minimum, using the office of the president to pillage the american people.
Phenomenal reporting here everyone. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
Luke Strain
This channel is trash.. pulling at straws and where the respect for office of the presidency??
Scott McWilliams
I appreciate your passion for finding the wrong doing of the current president. where was this podcast or info on the last president. government is corrupt on both sides.
Nonya Bizness
Scott McWilliams by your logic, if i rob wf bank, an institution has recent, documented corruption, no harm no foul, right?
Gee Whiz
Scott McWilliams Ah yes, there's that "both sides" tactic again—a favorite of the BLOTUS. Let's remember that only ONE SIDE murdered an American in Charlottesville on 12 August 2017. A list of Obama corruption would be LAUGHABLE when put beside a list of Trump corruption; keep in mind that Mr Trump has been associating with Russian oligarchs and other shadowy thugs for DECADES; apparently this is only a secret to Trump supporters.
Rich Berry
great work everyone! so enlightening. so depressing.
For a year now, the news is dominated by what the president is doing, is tweeting, is saying. When will the media and capitol hill refocus on the important issues plaguing our country, and have since long before Trump? Quit giving a bully what he wants. He craves national attention. Stop giving it to him. He thrives on it. I agree that he is not fit to lead. I also believe that he will shoot himself in the foot. He will bring himself down. So, let's focus on the real issues. Let's hope, the country, being we the people, might have a real voice in Congress and not the voices of special interests. Our two party system is a failure to the general public. The working class has no real representation. Reality has won me over. Trump is an awful leader, and should not be allowed to continue, but we have so many other issues to fix. One man is keeping us from progress because HE controls the media coverage.
Michelle T Usher
I don't understand how come it is so hard to get government records? aside from them not sending them. you can still research agency spending per the USASPENDING.GOV WEBSITE. THEY HAVE CENSORED THE TRUMP FAMILY EXPENDITURES. BUT HE HAS LOTS OF CONTRACTS PAYMENTS FOR RENTALS, THRU Homeland Security. I mean the fact us tax dollars were used to bribe Guatamala to also move their embassy. BL HARBERT LLC HAS RECIEVED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO BUILD guatamala embassy in US. THEIR LEADER IS A DEVOUT EVANGELICAL.

where have you gone?! been waiting super patiently!

Found out something extremely disturbing on Sunday. it appears that lobbyists for the baby formula industries have been funneling money to the Trump organization. This weekend a mandate went out from Trump that organizatios that deal with women and baby's both here and overseas are instructed to stop advising new mother's on the benefits of breast milk and instead telling them to start formula immediately after birth. I am a nurse and am appalled at this Revelation. Breast milk is absolutely essential to the health of a newborn. In the mother's breast milk is a substance called colostrum which hold all if the mother's natural antibodies the baby needs to develop a strong immune response. To advise new mother's to ignore this is not only immoral but devious and extremely unhealthy. To accept money to make baby's sickly is evil simply evil. No moral being on this earth would do this.
Marcee Beth
Michael Haworth , I was reading a few articles on that as well. Years ago, new Moms were offered a "free diaper bag" with a can of formula, coupons, advertisements, etc.. Breastfeeding wasn't encouraged or discouraged from my view as a patient. Jump 17 years, no diaper bags and nursing was encouraged. I saw this as a HUGE win even though I wouldn't be able to because I was taking a calcium channel blocker and had to restart topiramate ASAP for migraine prophylaxis. I worked in OB/GYN for 12 years. I miss it at times, other times, I'm glad I stepped away and have worked some great specialties, a bit of primary care and now in a 24/7 high acuity urgent care.

What you gonna do when President Donald J. Trump is awarded the Noble Prize? Take heart...there are psychotropic drugs that can help you overcome, or at least lessen your delusions.
Loyal R What's the Noble prize? Do you get that for being a whiny overgrown child who can't even run an inherited business without relying on money laundering schemes to stay afloat?
Pieter Moreels

this is to the producers, examine the land records and deeds filed and the LLCs involved with in Albemarle County, Virginia. This is when he purchased Trump wineries. I grew up right next to this Winery and I'm also a real estate paralegal so I can tell you anything and everything you want to know and I'm telling you now nothing involving this sale is on the up-and-up or is it clear cut like all other large over 5 million dollar sales in this area
Victoria Green
excellent reporting! keep up the good work

Michael Haworth
Check to see if trump or anyone close to him has set up a qualified intermediary! Its a way real restate companies can hide money not pay taxes on it and use it secretly. There is zero federal regulations on this type of company. I am positive he has set one up to launder money. Michael Haworth firstname.lastname@example.com
Cullen Logan
Dave Minnich Unfortunately our constitution precludes private citizens from suing a sitting president. So long as he is president only impeachment can touch him. Fortunately the same constitution prevents pardoning of anyone that has been impeached. I cling to faith in our 3 branched checks and balances for now. I just don't know if impeachment would give us any relief. I have very little faith in our VP, and his inability to separate his personal church from the politics of state.
Dave Minnich
Michael Haworth Now, this is a constructive point. We need constructive discussion. Acts such as cheating people should be viewed as theft. It doesn't matter how rich one is, what position one holds, wrong is wrong. Those who commit crimes deserve to be held to the same standard of punishment, regardless of wealth or class or any other box humans wish to place one another in to.
Good quality , I love these truth-seeking investigative journalism podcasts. Trump sycophants may want to plug their ears.
Rick Arden
John Wiley
I'm really enjoying this podcast. I hope you dig up enough dirt on him.
Dave Minnich
I won't pretend that Donald Trump is a positive role model, or a nice guy, but he is the President and as such deserves an amount of respect. Podcasts like this one only further the divisions in our country. Unsubscribing.
Phil France Phil, the comment you are responding to was made when I was still on the fence about how people approach politics. If you read through the thread, you will conclude that I have been won over by the conversation induced by this podcast. The problem is, I've concluded that our government is broken and corrupt. Therefore, I believe all politicians to have their own interest at heart rather than that of the people.
Phil France
Dave Minnich , dissenting voices are incredibly important. Especially when the people in power seem to be abusing that power. We need more investigative journalists tackling powerful figures, not fewer.
Bill Holliday, CFP
this is really importanto work you're doing- keep it up
Minnich There is a core to this sentiment that I like- that we are responsible for change. I believe the only justice you can count on is that which you make with your own hands and do my part to keep people in my community fed. Where I differ is that I see investigation into the government and its elected officials as something commendable- people living out that value in their work, sometimes at personal risk, and always slogging through deep layers of deception and concealment to find what the powerful don't want seen. I also believe those in positions of power are driven by inherently callous and self-advancing motivations that are usually incompatible with the good of common people. If these things can be considered true, then this is public service, even if it never results in impeachment or revolution or whatever change one desires. People deserve to be informed of corrupt motivations
Bill Holliday, CFP I respectfully disagree sir. Looking for reasons to further the disdain for the democratically elected president is not constructive and further distract from pursuing solutions to REAL problems in our country. In 3 years, vote again. Maybe your chosen candidate will be sucessful. Until then, we should all stop focusing on who's president, and actually committing ourselves to a chosen problem. E.G. Homeless vets, mental health, sensible gun legislation, gunger, poverty. The government works for us. WE are responsible for change.

There are particular touchwords which are flying around in the performance of light these days. iPad, for instance. iTunes. Nothing with this i" that is little side, really. There are certain key words flying round the publishing market the in an identical way these period, and most of the conversations about these keywords beginning and ending with digital printing.
The Delirious Delights of Digital Printing
We're able to be here all round the day dealing with the different delights of digital printing from the printer's point of view, but there's an chance that is excellent'd find yourself roaming out with a glassy search in the attention before it absolutely was more! Therefore we'll join the KISS system. Digital printing lets us hit opportunities from the ballpark more quickly and more conveniently because we're able to move all of them directly from a digital document to printing with no the additional step of producing dishes. Due to the miracles of modern technologies, we are able to streamline processes to involve a amount that is minimal of labor and still make a maximum amount of efficiency to give our clients the results they're searching for.
Why Businesses Like It Too
From a small business viewpoint, digital printing are a better initial price for better results farther down the road. How often have you ordered a stack of leaflets or any other advertising and marketing content, only to wind up with additional than your recommended since you purchased in bulk from an offset printing press? We've all become there-the boxes filled with out-of-date advertisements stuff for the cabinet, the hemorrhoids of literature you're offering with the milkman, the "old" businesses cards that don't experience the brand that is rightor mobile number-two thumbs way up for the power of Wite Out) but you should not dispose of because, well, the darn things charges revenue!
With digital printing organizations can purchase in smaller volumes and, in change, cut back on their spend, resulting in better spending plan efficiency.
Exactly Why Offset Printing Remains To Be
Hold Off. The title within this weblog said we were gonna be writing on offset printing, appropriate? Hello? Is anyone different noticing there's things lacking here? What makes our cleaners abruptly all about the residential properties of digital printing?
Simply because digital printing has its place really doesn't indicate that offset printing is gone and dead. That is right, breathe...now loosen up...The social men and women out there creating offset printing presses aren't going out of business in the near future. Offset printing is completely the best answer they break even on the cost to produce their printed materials (namely, the manpower involved) and turn their attention to helping you save money on your cost per piece for you if you're in the market for a large quantity of product (specifically, 1,000 or more) because that's about the point for most printers at which.
The other perk to offset printing, although digital printing was getting up fast, may be the species in methods you've got. A lot of the non-paper publishing you find contained in this time comes away from Vslprint an offset printing press. With offset printing you'll print on towel, timber, plastic, course and just about almost every other method you can fancy up for any promotion of the business. Will that often be the scenario? You never know? Tech changes in the speed of light. All we realize is that immediately, we're however doing all of our best to provide our offset presses the TLC they have earned.
We all get on much better this way.
Precisely why Digital Printing Hasn't Completely Blown Offset Printing From The Liquids
There are particular touchwords which are flying around in the performance of light these days. iPad, for instance. iTunes. Nothing with this i" that is little side, really.

Antique auctions
I love antique auctions but rarely have the time to attend now. I'm delighted to see that people from all over the world can now partake in so many auctions from the comfort of their own armchair and laptop. They may miss out on some of the atmosphere but it's a great way to take part, much more interactive than a telephone bid, for example.
One of my favourite pieces is this 19th Century Blue & White Worcester Bowl decorated with Fishermen. I love blue and white china and my kitchen dresser shelves are filled with plates, teapots and bowls from when I collected it when living in the UK. Every piece has a memory of a particular auction or of a holiday or of a specific 'antiques hunting day out'.
That's one of the beauties of antiques, it's not just an item of furniture or a vase, each piece holds memories. This bowl has a guide of 80-100 so it will be interesting to see how much it makes tonight.
There's much art in tonight's auction which isa delight to see, much of it is by well known Irish artists who have kindly donated their paintings to be auctioned on behalf of Christ Church Cathedral.
It's almost impossible to choose a favourite but this one caught my eye, I love the idea of not knowing what is at the end of a path. They provide a sense of wonderment and adventure and symbolize life's path really.
I really like this Eugene Wowall Oil on canvas "Summerfields" 30cm x 40cm which is Lot number 118A tonight.
There are many fine pieces of furniture up for auction and it's certainly not easy to pick a favourite. I do have a soft spot for chests of drawers and this Fine Burr Walnut 2 over 4 Bowfront chest of drawers is magnificent. It really is a piece that will last for many future generations and be cherished. The estimate is 800-900 and it will be interesting to see how much it sells for. This is the intrigue of auctions of course items may sell for much more than you might expect or they may be snapped up for much less.
We'd like to thank Lorna for picking out her favourite pieces. How about you? What is your favourite piece in the entire auction contents? Don't forget to register online too.

.Destroying the traditional background, the freshness of Impressionist style and revolutionary art techniques made a crucial breakthrough in the painting, music, and literature of the 19th century. Originally, the term 'Impressionism' was used to denote the unique style of a group of artists whose artistic skills originated the entirely new trend in the art. The group of unknown young artists challenged classical trends, causing lively disputes over their creative manner, named as Impressionism. Highly evaluated nowadays, their masterpieces became the laughing-stock of Paris condemned by critics one century ago.
Historical Background of Impressionism
Impressionism is a style of painting originated in France in the 19th century. Being created by the group of young students, including Claude Monet, Frederic Bazille, Alfred Sisley, Auguste Renoir, Impressionism became a revolutionary epoch in the development of European culture, replacing the classical stage.
A range of important events affected the work of artists, musicians, and writers of the epoch of Impressionism.
In the visual art, Impressionism experienced the influence of several events. First, in 1854, friendly relationships established between Japan and France boosted the international trade. In 1862, a Far Eastern shop opened in Paris. Japanese carving affected the art technique of the future Impressionists, who painted their masterpieces with printmaking. Japanese wood-block prints suggested the Impressionists new forms and modes of painting, such as flat and decorative forms, attractive colours, and compositions, lacking the symmetry. Second, the Franco-Prussian war made the significant effect on the new trend in the art. During the war activities, the first leader of the skilled artists Frederic Bazille was killed. At the same time, Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, and Camille Pissarro travelled to London where they taught the art techniques of famous painters. Finally, the exhibition of 1874 became the starting point of the official history of Impressionism in the Art. The outrageous behaviour of critics caused the rebel among the group of artists. Moreover, the witty remarks about 'Impression: Sunrise', one of the paintings by Claude Monet, gave the name to the entire movement in the art.
The impressionists cannot be considered a formal group as a whole. It is remarkable to note that the future impressionists did not even choose the name of their innovative trend and never planned to represent a radical revolutionary movement in painting. What they had in common was that they were all in Paris in the early 1860s and realized that they shared desire to paint the landscape, cityscape, and modern life in new ways. Robert Katz and Celestine Dars claimed that the first brilliant exhibition was held because nobody of the future impressionists was successful at the official Salon, the key place in Paris for the painters. Though this event of 1874 did not bring success to the young artists, it was noticed by a hostile journalist and critic Louis Leroy who described the exhibition, his feelings and attitude towards the painting 'Impression: Sunrise' in his article 'The Exhibition of the Impressionists', occasionally giving the name to the innovative branch in the visual art. Since that moment, the term 'Impressionism' has become widely known due to Louis Leroy. Nevertheless, the art was not accepted by critics, disapproving scraped dried paint from the palette thrown onto a dirty canvas. The mature public was shocked by the revolutionary modes and technology of painting, an unusual "approach to color and a range of subject matter, making the exhibition the laughing-stock of Paris. Despite Louis Leroy's version of Paris scene 'Boulevard des Capucines' by Claude Manet, famous French writers Baudelaire and Zola highly appreciated the innovative trend and saw in their work an important advancement of art into the modern era
Impressionist Works of Visual Art
Creating their masterpieces in the period of the struggle between modernity and classical order, the impressionists made a striking breakthrough in visual art.
Claude Monet as the founder of Impressionism in Visual Art.
Claude Monet is considered to be a founder of French Impressionism. One of his masterpieces 'Impression: Sunrise' gave its name to the entire imressionist trend. The most famous Monet's works are 'La Gare Saint-Lazare', 'Rue Saint-Denis', 'Festivities of 30 June, 1878', landscapes in series 'The Rocks of Bell-Ile', 'Cliffs at Belle-Ille', 'Poplars on the Bank of the River Epte'. However, his paintings were not success, starting to draw public attention only in 1880s. In his canvases, light is of vital importance. In fact, Monet has succeeded in rendering the same objects under different types of light, namely in the morning, afternoon, and evening. For example, the painter has created a series of the paintings, differring from each other only in the violence of color. In his masterpieces, Claude Monet evaluates the intimate and everyday, makes the accent on the picturesque moments and poetry of events. He highlights the interaction between the figure and the surrounding nature in scene set in the open air, the play of patches of light on clothes, ignoring small peculiarities of people's faces.
'Luncheon on the Grass' by Claude Monet
The famous painting 'Luncheon on the Grass' by Claude Monet is considered to be a revolutionary concept of freedom, when artists can refer elements peculiar to different trends. In the above-mentioned canvas, Claude Monet painted a nude young female near two gentlemen in frocks. Imitating the famous scene of outdoor concert by Titan that had impressed the artist in Louvre in his youth, Monet's painting was considered to be offensive for the existing morality of those days. The critics blamed the artist for showing nude figures in an outdoor background without allegorical context, understanding that ' Luncheon on the Grass' became the refined parody of classical art traditions. Following natural laws that contradicted everyday reality, the advocates of classical trend in art were involved in brisk controversies between progressives and conservatives. The key points of their debates were stated in the doctrine of Art for Art's Sake. Despite Monet's evading such public discussions, his painting "shows his lifelong devotion to pure painting. Rejecting habitual rules, this picture became the first step in the struggle between representatives of the old school and the Impressionists that sparked off a row at the exhibition of 1874.
Pierre-AugustE Renoir as the Co-founder of Impressionism in Visual Art
During the period of 1860s-1870s, Pierre -Auguste Renoir worked together with Claude Monet, combining their efforts and promoting a new, revolutionary style with the flat brush strokes transformed into flecks of paint to depict an unexpected scale of visual effects. Nevertheless, critics note that impressionism remained to be obtained by using feelings rather than considering the facts. Soon, other participants of the impressionist group started to use Monet and Renoir's style of painting.
Renoir's style is remarkable for its bright painting scale, cheerful character, and strong clear lines. His famous canvases are 'The Large Bathers', 'Luncheon of the Boating Party', 'Dance at le Moulin de la Gallette'. At the beginning of his career as a painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir created portraits and real life descriptions, succeeding in painting facial expressions. He is famous for his unique technique of broken brush strokes, skillfully rendering effects of lighting and movement. The influence of Japanese carvings and mode of art techniques can be seen there. In his middle years, Renoir is considered to use only five colors in his palette. Over time, his canvases developed into linear. In his advanced years, Renoir returned to impressionism, preferring brush strokes. During this time, the painter focused on epic nudes and domestic scenes.
'The Luncheon of the Boating Party' by Pierre-AugustE Renoir
Being extremely diverse, Renoir's heritage includes open-air landscapes, family scenes, and monumental portraits such as 'The Luncheon of the Boating Party'. This work renders typically Impressionist understanding of real life, surprising viewers with sparkling color and light. Renoir developed this approach to the palette under the influence of Claude Monet, who had visited London during the Franco-Prussian war to learn the art techniques of famous painters. The artist depicted his friends, having a rest on a balcony of a restaurant. Human figures, elements of still life, such as fruits, bottles of wine, and glasses, and landscape are rendered in the canvas 'The Luncheon of the Boating Party'. New modes of painting long back to Japanese wood-block prints, attracting viewers with decorative forms and beautiful colors. In the picture, a great deal of light impresses a viewer, creating the positive atmosphere. Being a great admirer of female models, Pierre-Auguste Renoir achieved significant results in bringing together several figures on one canvas that makes his painting rather complex to comprehend. The woman, who is playing with the dog, is the future wife of the artist. People are talking in a lively manner. The picture renders the friendly atmosphere and warm emotions, drawing attention to the moment as the unique part of our life. Admired about Japanese carvings and Claude Monet's ideas after his visit of London, Renoir expressed his independent vision of Impressionism and its unique perceptiveness.
Musical Impressionism
The musical Impressionism developed during the period from the end of the 19th until the beginning of the twentieth century. This tendency has the same historical backgrounds with the art Impressionism. The same historical events influenced the new tendency in music. In fact, the blossom of international trade and diplomacy, the Franco-Prussian war, and the quarrel between the group of Impressionists and the conservative Academie influenced musical Impressionism as well. Composers admired masterpieces by Claude Monet, Frederic Bazille, Alfred Sisley, and Auguste Renoir. Being similar to Impressionism in the visual art, the musical Impressionism embodied irregular phrases, ignoring traditional harmonic forms. This trend impressed with unresolved dissonances and veiled orchestral colours. Moreover, whole-tone and exotic scales were widely implemented in musical compositions of the time, decorating the tune with the ninth chords and frequent usage of modality.
Impressionism in music was rendered by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, regardless their firm rejection of belonging to this school in art. Like the Impressionists rebelled against the art traditions after the exhibition of 1874, the composers rejected the old forms and scales in music.
Claude Debussy claimed that he adored music. He tried to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth, an open-air art boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea. It must never be shut in and become an academic art. 'Clair de Lune' is one of his famous works, being the third movement of 'The Suite Bergamasque'. Being inspired by the poem by Verlaine, the composer gave the same name to his musical work. Listener accepts the tune through the prism of senses, ignoring the intellect. The musical narrations evokes a range of emotions, making impressions on the audience.
Joseph Maurice Ravel
Belonging to French composers, Joseph Maurice Ravel wrote his 'Gaspard de la Nuit' that continues Debussy's impressionist traditions. This piece of music is a fantasy, extraordinary, gentle, and fragile. Both pieces of music by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are composed in impressionist traditions, striking with irregular phrases, ambiguity of form, and exotic scales.
iMPRESSIONISM IN LITERATURE
Several events made the influence on the development of Impressionism in literature, where it obtained the name of 'Symbolism'. The industrial revolution contributed to the economic welfare, while war activities caused the waves of migrations. In fact, despite its tragic essence, the Franco-Prussian war caused the opportunity to get acquaintance with new patterns in literature designed by foreign poets. Created by Jean Moreas the manifesto of Symbolist poetry became the starting point of the new tendency, making the influence on poets. According to it, the real world with ideal forms is poor. Therefore, the task of a poet is to reveal the beauty of the inner world through the new forms of writing. Paule Verlaine is the bright representative of Impressionism. His poems evoke emotions, like his 'Poèmes saturniens'. Like all the impressionists, Paule Verlaine gives his preference to the effect of emotions rather than the exact depiction of forms. Therefore, his poem seems be much brighter than the works of their contemporaries.
Knowledge Attained
To sum up, Impressionism is truly considered to be a revolutionary art. Being originated in France in the 19th century by a group of young students, Impressionism became a revolutionary era in the development of European art, replacing the classical epoch. Developing their skills intuitively, impressionists gave their preference to emotions rather than the exact depiction of forms. This style of Impressionism became the subject to severe theoretic conflicts between the impressionists and the conservative Academie of the French artistic establishment, highly appreciating classical art. The advocates of the conservative trend regarded the background and outside limits of the painting detracted from the focal point to be a failure. Nevertheless, Impressionism can be regarded as truly revolutionary art, having brought the new perception of reality and creating the background for Modernism.

Histology and Immunohistochemistry Services
RenaSci's necropsy team can take a variety of tissue samples at the end of studies. We can perform standard tissue collection along with preparation of tissues for specialised techniques such as histology and immunohistochemistry. RenaSci can conduct as much or as little of the processing and analysis as you require. Our histology and immunohistochemistry techniques can be used as a cost-effective add-on service to assess the mode of action or potential toxicological effects of novel compounds during the early stages of drug discovery.
Overview of services available :-
• Necropsies in rats and mice with reports on gross macroscopic observations
• Tissue-sampling, weighing and preservation (eg tissues can be frozen using liquid
nitrogen or dry-ice, formalin-fixed and wax-embedded to produce a tissue block)
• Tissue-sectioning using a microtome (wax-embedded tissues; ≥ 4 µM thick) or
cryostat (frozen tissues; 15-25 µM thick)
• Histology, immunohistochemistry and image analysis
We can send frozen/formalin-fixed samples, wax-embedded tissue blocks or tissue samples mounted onto microscrope slides to laboratories of your choice for analysis. Alternatively, we can perform histological and immunohistochemical staining and subsequent image analysis in-house. All analyses can also be performed on samples provided from external sources.
Our range of histological stains include:-
• Haematoxylin and Eosin staining for routine staining of cell structures
• Oil Red O staining for lipids and neutral triglycerides.
• Azan Trichrome and Masson's Trichrome staining for connective tissue.
• Periodic Acid Schiff histological stain for glycogen and other periodate-reactive
For example, we have used Azan Trichrome staining to demonstrate increased interstitial fibrosis and Periodic Acid Schiff staining to demonstrate increased glomerular sclerosis in sections of kidney taken from streptozotocin-treated mice on high fat diet (an animal model of diabetic nephropathy).
Our immunohistochemical services include immunostaining for insulin and glucagon eg in pancreatic tissue following streptozotocin treatment.
Representative digital images of tissue stained for either histology or immunohistochemistry can be captured using a light microscope. Quantitative image analysis can be performed in-house using Leica QWinPro image analysis to count cell number, size and percentage area of staining. If required, slides can be prepared from pancreatic tissue for the measurement of β-cell mass and sent out-of-house to a laboratory of your choice for quantification.
In addition to the histological and immunohistochemical stains described above we have the expertise to develop protocols and optimise assay conditions for any commercially available antibodies and stains.
Please contact us for further information on our histology and immunohistochemistry services relevant to the diabetes and obesity therapeutic areas.

We have been informed that Ipswich Labour are not selecting who is to represent Jeremy Corbyn on the ballot paper in Ipswich. The decision is to be made by the Labour Party Central Executive who are going to impose their choice on the local party.
There are two reasons for this. The first reason is that Ipswich Labour are so incompetent that selecting somebody for Jeremy of Islington is beyond them. The second reason, which is also the main reason, is that under Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour Party is controlled by a bunch of Stalinist lunatics.
So it looks like Jeremy Corbyn's candidate is going to be a sat nav candidate who probably doesn't realise that there is a country beyond the perimeter of the M25. The likelihood of anybody from Ipswich getting it is remote but due to the way Labour is at the moment, possibilities for the candidacy are Tracy Grant, Andrew Coates and Shelly Darwin. This is because nobody else in Ipswich Labour are extreme left enough for
Jeremy of Islington's central politburo Labour's central executive to consider. But it is more likely that Jeremy Corbyn's candidate will be coming here from elsewhere and be sleeping on Bryony Rudkin's floor like Jeremy Corbyn's candidate for Bridge Ward, Jack Abbott.

Self-Deportation Has Few Takers
Sunday, August 10, 2008
CHARLOTTE -- With a fanfare of news conferences and Spanish-language television and newspaper ads, U.S. authorities last week started giving 457,000 illegal immigrants a chance to turn themselves in without the usual threat of arrest and detention.
Three accepted.
The cold reception given to the rollout of the three-week pilot self-deportation program, called Scheduled Departure, presents an apt metaphor for the state of relations between U.S. enforcement officials and immigrant advocates in the year since Congress killed President Bush's proposed overhaul.
Since lawmakers rejected Bush's plan to combine tougher enforcement with a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and more guest workers for industry, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have stepped up raids at workplaces, in neighborhoods and in homes. That has triggered a fierce backlash from immigrant advocates, labor and religious leaders, and Hispanic and civil rights groups, who say the Bush administration is coddling employers while brutalizing families and abusing immigrant communities.
Meanwhile, key members of Congress charge that the raids are shifting ICE's focus away from its stated priority of targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records. And even though its funding has grown, the agency is finding it more difficult to keep up its increasing pace of arrests of such illegal immigrants, having already snared those who are easy to apprehend and encountering limits in detention space.
These problems, immigration experts say, help explain why officials turned to Scheduled Departure -- despite little evidence that it will much reduce the nation's estimated illegal immigrant population of 12 million.
"Perhaps it's trying to make them [ICE] look more humane," said Joshua Hoyt, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. "It's not designed to work."
Scheduled Departure is aimed at illegal immigrants who are living here in violation of deportation orders -- people the government calls "fugitive aliens." Those with no criminal record and who pose no threat to national security or to the community may get as much as 90 days to put their affairs in order, avoid the risk of arrest or jail time, and, in some cases, leave with some family members.
About 457,000 of 570,000 fugitive aliens may qualify, ICE said, although the pilot is set to run only until Aug. 22 in Charlotte, Chicago, Phoenix, San Diego and Santa Ana, Calif.
As Raymond A. Simonse, the ICE Atlanta field office director who oversaw operations in Charlotte last week, put it, "We need to establish the integrity of the immigration system, and this is how we can do it."
Outside ICE offices in this Sun Belt city, however, the task was easier said than done.
"I don't think most of the people will take this chance," said Rafael, a 17-year-old illegal immigrant from Raleigh, N.C., who asked not to give his last name because he was arrested while driving without a license and may face deportation after he turns 18. The young carpet installer said that he came to the United States as an infant and that his girlfriend is expecting the couple's own baby soon. "I think people like living in this country," he said.

Why has gluten become such a big issue? It seems that every other person you speak to is avoiding carbs, cutting out gluten-based products and going gluten-free. When I grew up I rarely heard of anyone suffering from a gluten allergy, but medicine has come a long way since then and maybe we just have a better awareness of food intolerances. But for many, avoiding gluten is a result of misinformation and a lack of scientific clarity. To put it simply, just because there are more gluten-free products available than ever before – doesn't mean we should all be eating them.
Can going gluten-free be a good thing? Gluten is a general name for proteins found in wheat, rye and barley. Gluten helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue to hold foods together. It's found in beer, breads, baked goods, soups, pasta, cereals, even salad dressing and sauces. But is it always bad for you? And why do so many people suffer from problems with gluten?
In actual fact, only 1% of the population suffer from coeliac disease – a serious, genetically linked autoimmune disease in which the small bowel is inflamed and made leaky by gluten, causing diarrhoea, weight loss, anaemia, osteoporosis and a small increased risk of bowel cancer. It is an incredibly serious and life-limiting condition. If you have any concerns about this illness it is important to be checked out and diagnosed by a medical professional. There are other levels of intolerance, from a diagnosed allergy to mild sensitivity – and if you suffer from symptoms, then cutting out gluten may be the best option for you.
But for those without symptoms who cut out gluten for 'health reasons' or to lose weight – it's important to know the facts. Wholegrain, rye and barley are actually good for your diet and contain vitamin B, iron and fibre – which we know may reduce the risks of diabetes and heart disease when consumed within a balanced diet. For most people, gluten provides the body with essential nutrients and protein, without adding cholesterol to the diet. Ultimately, "Gluten-free" is not an indicator of healthfulness – and people without a diagnosed allergy or intolerance should think twice before eliminating it from their diet.

Peter Samis is Associate Curator of Interpretive Media at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). He attended the first ICHIM conference in Pittsburgh in 1991 and lived to tell the tale, then served as art historian/content expert for the first CD-ROM on modern art in 1993; taken together, these two facts make him something of a living fossil! Other fun events along the way with his most excellent SFMOMA Interactive Educational Technologies (IET) team: first implementation of multimedia PDAs in an art museum for SFMOMA's 2001 "Points of Departure" exhibition; three AAM Muse Awards in one year (2006) and a "Best of the Web" in the category Innovative and Experimental" for "SFMOMA Artcasts" in 2007. Recently, the IET team has produced "Making Sense of Modern Art Mobile", the museum's new mobile multimedia guide, which is distributed for free to visitors on the iPod Touch.
Once upon a time Samis studied religion and anthropology at Columbia and in Paris, and went on to earn an M.A. in art history at U.C., Berkeley. Since then he has taught, curated, written, and been active in the development of myriad interpretive technologies for cultural heritage. He especially values the human relationships behind all this work, and the rich and varied content that comes with working in an art museum. He was a founding instructor in the TEC-CH Masters program at the University of Lugano, and has served on the board of the New Media Consortium (www.nmc.org) and the advisory councils of three collaborative museum-focused initiatives: Pachyderm 2.0 (www.pachyforge.org), ArtBabble (www.artbabble.org), and Open Exhibits (www.openexhibits.org).

Jan. 26 — To the Editor:
Portsmouth has been recognized locally and nationally as a walkable city. This winter, and many other recent winters I recall, it is a nightmare, and almost impossible, to walk around downtown and on many of the residential streets in Portsmouth.
Yes, the city is responsible for clearing the sidewalks and yes, Public Works has worked tirelessly this year. But this must really be a joint responsibility of the city and the shop/home/building owners around the city.
Weather conditions change throughout the day and it often becomes icy overnight. Shop owners, employees and building owners must be aware each and every day of the conditions outside their establishments, just as residents must be aware of conditions outside of their homes.
As a senior, I am more aware of the potential for injury if I fall, so I am very conscious of conditions in front of my business. You will often find me chopping ice on the sidewalk. Additionally I have spent quite a bit of money on ice pellets this season. Many other businesses and residents also take this problem seriously and do a great job.
Business is slow because of the economy, but it is worsened if people avoid coming downtown because they are afraid to walk around. You often see people walking in the street because some sidewalks are impassable. This is not a new problem in the city, but it is one that needs to be tackled on all levels.
How about enlisting the unemployed or local teens who need some extra money to help with the clean-up? City overtime budgets are stretched and it is only January. We need to be aware and make an effort to make this city safer for walking for everyone.

I am appalled at the new budget for Stratham's Park and Recreation Department. A $14,000 Gator? Or a golf cart at one-quarter of the price?
When my husband was a park ranger, he purchased or received dead golf carts, and rebuilt them for my use when I volunteered in the park. His use of town truck, tractor, Z mower was enough for him to get around. But according to the current selectmen, he was overpaid and didn't do enough in the park.
I beg to differ. From what I hear, I bet you're seeing that he did a little more than filling holes. But the selectmen would never admit all the extras David did for the town, and how little he asked for in return.
And how about that library budget? The library does more for this community than anything else in town. Funny how it's still waiting to be revamped.
But we have a nice fire station. (That came in handy for all the Fire Department and their friends during the storm. How was that party anyway?)
Those new town offices, what was the final numbers on that? We never did see ... and what was the proposed budget?
By the way, the new selectmen who were so involved with the park, and were supposed to come there every weekend with their families, where have you been? We have not seen you since David left his job. Or is there nothing there for you now?

Again, I point out that there is a difference in reporting "alleged crimes" involving the people of the Seacoast. Today's headline (Jan. 27), "Police: Mom's truck stop sex endangers child."
The Portsmouth Herald has committed an unforgivable offense against the 10-year-old boy in this article!
If this story had been reported according to the "standard" set for (former police Capt. Fred) Hoysradt it would have read: "Police respond to an unattended child call at local truck stop."
The story would have left out the salacious details of the mother's activities to which the young boy was exposed, or the Herald could have reported the details and left the names out to protect the underage child.
Instead, the Herald decided to quote a 10-year-old boy who was under unbelievable emotional stress on the front page of the newspaper! How does this make you any different than the National Inquirer? Is circulation down that low that you need to resort to sensationalizing the misfortunes of a 10-year-old boy?
I am a Seacoast native who has read the Herald since Mr. Blalock was editor (and part owner) of the paper. I have seen many great changes and some not-so-great changes in the standards of reporting over the years. It is only recently that I have felt compelled to challenge the editors' decisions on which who, what and where facts should be in a story.
I ask that the editors be consistent in their decision-making policies and to be fair to all community members on how to report alleged crimes. To protect Hoysradt and a Herald reporter from the sensational details of their alleged crime situation is not fair to the other persons who appear in the Herald. The Hoysradt story details should be "out there" for the public just like this poor innocent child that you used in today's sensational headline.
It does matter who you are when it comes to the reporting standards used by the editors of the Herald.

Editor's note: The details of the alleged crime at the truck stop were made available to the media by police. Thus far, only minimal details of the charges against former police Capt. Fred Hoysradt have been released by law enforcement agencies. It is expected more details in the Hoysradt case will become public as it heads to trial.
Jan. 26 — To the Editor:
In response to the letter to the editor from Melissa Engelking (Dec. 30), I would like to add a few thoughts in regard to pagan traditions and what God may or may not accept as true worship and absolute truth. This discussion originally began with articles written by Melissa's brother, Michael Engelking, minister of Universal Life Church of Wiccan of Hampton and Earl T. Hyzer of Greenland.
I do agree with much of what Ms. Engelking says in regard to Christ, especially in that he is indeed "the way to life." I am assuming she is referring to eternal life in a glorified state. I also agree that we see much foreshadowing of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament of the Bible. I am concerned with her statement that pagan tradition is not "discarded by God," but is "placed in perfect harmony with Christian structure." If that idea is meant to include pagan beliefs about salvation and worship, I believe it strays from biblical teaching.
We live in a culture that is continuing to trend toward the notion that "all roads lead to Rome." The idea that all faiths lead to heaven. In other words, it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere in your beliefs and therefore God will accept you and provide you with eternal salvation. But history tells us that people have sincerely believed in ideas that were later found to be quite wrong, such as the Earth being flat. They were sincere in their belief, but they were sincerely wrong.
I believe the Bible is God's revelation to the human race and has proven itself in many ways especially in light of fulfilled prophecies. Other religious scriptures can make no such claim. Ancient copies of Old Testament scripture passages (confirmed by the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls) detail events in history and especially in the life of Christ while he was here on Earth in such a way as to be much more than mere coincidence or anything that could have been construed to fit those ancient prophecies. One example is the prophecy of Psalm 22 in regard to Christ's coat being taken by lottery so as not to be destroyed by dividing it. I highly doubt the Roman soldiers who did just that at Christ's crucifixion had any knowledge of ancient Jewish scripture let alone a desire to see it fulfilled.
So, while one may argue that certain pagan traditions are linked to current Christian holidays and traditions (which is very debatable), the Bible is quite clear in defining God and his only means of salvation that he offers to mankind. God is the one and only God, the great "I Am." He provided his son, Jesus Christ, as our substitute for our personal sin debt if we would acknowledge him and receive Jesus Christ as our personal savior. And yes, the Bible teaches that there is an eternal state of punishment to be rescued or saved from. But the Bible also makes it clear that God "is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9).
Now, here is where I'm sure many may object to the idea of one and only one way of salvation or means of obtaining divine forgiveness and an eternal state of peace and security. Syncretism, the idea that one can somehow blend many divergent religions and views into one system of thought without contradiction, is currently quite popular but unfortunately quite impossible. Many religions follow doctrines that are in direct opposition to the doctrines of other religions. How could they all be right? And if God accepts all faiths, he then would be in contradiction of his own truth.
One passage among many that defines God is found in Isaiah chapter 45 that says, "I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else." God also defines his salvation by Jesus Christ in such passages as Acts chapter four which states, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the light, no man comes unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6). Jesus declared this after more than adequately proving himself to be God incarnate (God in human flesh).
Well then, some might complain that the Christian faith is quite exclusive. On the contrary. The invitation to believe and receive Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is extended to all! Every man, woman and child and every race and color whether rich or poor. The Bible clearly states, "And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." (Revelation 22:17).

Product InformationCategory: Kitchenware.
If you love the French Nordic style and read Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine, I'm sure you've seen these old ceramic and porcelain cutting boards that are so popular and somewhat hard to find. Over the last year or so, I've gathered up a small collection of them and am happy to be able to offer them for sale here!
These are sometimes called onion boards but some folks used them as breakfast plates for sandwiches. They look great displayed with wood cutting boards or ceramic drain plates and as a bonus are fully functional as a cheese board or cutting board!
This listing is for one (1) rectangular porcelain cutting board with a gold accent. I have two available and neither is marked on the back.
Both boards are in really good condition, no stains, cracks or chips – just a bit of fading here and there of the gold pattern and border.
SIZE: 8.125″ tall x 4.875″ wide x a bit more than 0.25″ thick

The New England Patriots are entering their biggest test of the season on Sunday when they play the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship in Denver.
The Patriots' 27-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs saw the Patriots execute their most vital game plan: protecting Tom Brady.
Brady wasn't sacked and was only hit once by the Chiefs' pass rush on Saturday. That may change against the Broncos.
The Patriots have been using an alternating, revolutionary offensive line all year, but as MMQB's Jenny Vrentas writes, there's one area where they're vulnerable to attack from other teams, and it happens because of Brady's only weakness: his lack of mobility. From Vrentas:
Opposing coaches and players will tell you that the Patriots' most talented linemen are their tackles, and that Brady is most vulnerable when you take advantage inside and pressure him up the middle. He's not going to flee the pocket like Russell Wilson, so edge rushers flying past him aren't a concern. But when there's push up the middle and he can't step up in the pocket, the edge guys can bring him down. And pressure in his face, theoretically, can interfere with his quick-timing passing game. The Chiefs didn't get that push up the middle, nullifying their speed guys on the edge.
Former Patriots center Dan Koppen told Vrentas of the Chiefs game, "I think inside, they did a great job blocking and keeping that pocket firm, running the outside guys by him, where Tommy doesn't care about them. If he is able to step up into the pocket, and he's comfortable throwing the ball, it's usually a long hard day for any defense to go against."
But the Patriots' vulnerability on the inside remains a problem. As Vrentas notes, teams with good inside rushers gave the Patriots trouble, as seen in games against the Jets, Bills, and the Patriots' first loss of the season, the Broncos.
Rushing from the outside is the easiest path to a quarterback for defenses. The Patriots have done a solid job fortifying that route to keep Brady safe. But it benefits both sides — Brady doesn't plan to scramble, so if he can stay in the pocket, he doesn't care about edge rushers. For defenses, though, if they can bring pressure inside, then they force Brady out of his comfort zone, either making him scramble or running into those edge rushers.
Against the Broncos in Week 12, as the pocket collapsed on Brady, he tried to step up, only to be brought down by Von Miller:
Spotrac's positional-spending map seems to verify that the Patriots, at least financially, have placed more importance on protecting Brady on the outside than on the inside. For as unbeatable as the Patriots can seem at times, their offensive line isn't one of their greatest strengths. According to Football Outsiders, the Patriots ranked 18th in pass protection, giving up 38 sacks.
The Broncos, meanwhile, were the best defense in the NFL, with a league-leading 52 sacks. Getting into a shootout against the Patriots won't work for the Broncos, but they possess their own advantage in their ability to get to Brady.
