" We showcase our beneficiaries in pictures and words. We believe in making meaningful impact that serves as new inspiration each time we do something right and beneficial."
~Graham Abrahams, G1BT CEO, Centurion, South Africa
From the research we have conducted, we have found common purpose to the now-era new methodology of philanthropic giving in our projects; it is apparent that ACTION has replaced PASSIVITY, and this shift to "hands-on" ACTIVE participation is what fuels our organisation. This change, adopted by several leading philanthropic givers in the world is impacting positively on and changing the face of global philanthropy. Donors are no longer content to merely open their wallets, but they're becoming actively involved in specifically selected causes about which they are passionate. They are also bringing knowledge and skill sets, using savvy business practices to leverage what they give to achieve more good.
Meet one of these innovators whose story resonates with us completely. Then head on over to our very own initiative (www.blackdove.co.za) to see that we also WALK the TALK!

This is one more inspirational and wonderful story of Philanthropy in action, highlighting how identification and supply of basic needs can change one's life, often dramatically.
F.K. Day, United States
Life in rural Zambia has improved dramatically for dairy farmer Cecil Hankambe. He has doubled his milk sales, purchased a farm, and earned enough money to send his children to school. He still milks the same cow and travels the same rugged roads to the local dairy co-op. The only difference now: Instead of lugging a heavy jug on foot, he pedals a bicycle.
Mr. Hankambe rides a Buffalo, a bike so sturdy and basic that its steel frame can carry up to 220 pounds and be repaired with a rock. Instead of delivering only seven to 10 liters of milk a day, Hankambe can now transport 15 to 20 liters to a chilling station before it spoils, boosting his profit.
"A reliable bike can create reliability in a dairy farmer's income," says F.K. Day, founder of World Bicycle Relief, a foundation based in Chicago that produces the Buffalo and provides two-wheeled aid to people in developing nations. "You forget how important transportation is."
Mr. Day cringes at the word "philanthropist," even though his nonprofit group since 2005 has raised more than $13.5 million, distributed 116,000 bicycles at $134 each across 11 countries in Africa, and trained more than 800 bicycle mechanics.
"There is not a greater gift that one can give a community than an economic engine," says Day. "An industrial revolution on a personal level can push someone's productivity forward and help them to help their families and communities." Giving back: Eight innovative philanthropists around the world, Excerpt from World: People Making a difference: Cover Story by Kendra Nordin, Rebecca Byerly, Isabelle de Pommereau, Sophie Arie, Debra Bruno, Takehiko Kambayashi, Bilbo Poynter, and Taylor Barnes, NOVEMBER 18, 2012
We believe in the concept of SDG (Sustainable Developmental Goals). However, it is our niche mission to identify causes and needs in society that have a direct bearing on WORLD PEACE. In our focus on these issues, we promote society to engage in discussions about how we can strive together to obtain WORLD PEACE; we have created a unique and innovative "participatory" funding platform through our innovative projects. By joining hands with various stakeholders, we are able to "pay hope forward" by providing our incoming funding to identified and selected National and International Philanthropic Organisations to help them in their work.
Upcoming Conference:
"International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD)" will be held in cooperation with Yıldız Technical University and International University of Sarajevo with the support of Marmara University, University of New York Tirana and Tetova State University. The conference will be held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 19-23, 2017.

Superheroes: A Never-ending Battle Review
Genre: Documentary
We liked?
Easily identifiable subjects
Easy watch
Not so much?
It's a bit long
Superheroes: A Never-ending Battle covers the history of comics and their influence on pop culture.
Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle is a three part documentary covering the colorful history of the comic book industry, specifically focused on superhero comics. Each segment covers a different point in time and breaks up the history into three significant periods in the industry's history. It feels as though it's split into a life cycle of infancy, adolescence, and adulthood to its current maturation with the story of its twilight years yet to be told, if they even come to pass.
The first episode goes over the birth of the industry as an idea of pulp compilation of comics provided on news stands and progressed into the early versions of characters that are easily recognizable by a majority of the world's population. It discusses the significant events of the time and how comics reacted and gave comic fans a way to relate and deal with difficult times. In that way, comics were both influenced by events and in return, helped mold perspectives on those events.
The second installment actually had a bunch of good content to it, taking the line from Spider-Man "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility" and translating that to the social impact that comics were having. While I think they give themselves a bit more credit than they deserve, it does concentrate on a good point of what the responsibility is to content providers who are targeting products to children as well as adults. This is something that continues to be a concern and talking point in almost every media industry from music to movies to video games.
The final episode covers the adaptation and changes these figures have needed to go through to be relevant to the times, in both a cultural respect and as a medium as comics are trending to movies, video games, and digital – and away from their news stand beginnings. Sometimes those cultural changes were met with audience acceptance, and other times with backlash. Either way, it showed how much this industry was willing to try new things and adapt, which has allowed it to succeed over the decades.
The stories themselves were told by the artists and writers who created them, the characters who played them on tv and the movies, as well as comic authority figures and fans. The diverse selection of sources helps give the film a well rounded perspective. One of the things I enjoyed is others discussing important figures that helped mold the comics, even when those figures were involved in the film. It was nice getting both an outside perspective as well as from the figures themselves.
I have very few complaints of this retrospective. The things I think it fell short on were areas that I think would have been interesting to get a bit more attention. I think the coverage of the Comic Code Authority which heavy handedly governed the industry could have played a bigger role in this movie. Along with that, I was hoping to see some mention of the underground pulp comics and their influence on the mainstream. Even though they aren't "superheroes" and don't belong as a main point of this type of film with its focus, I think it would have brought in some interesting artists and their perspectives. While I can see why these didn't get bigger roles in the film as it already lumbers in at almost 3 hours long in total, I think a couple of the often repeated segments of the same heroes over and over could have been dropped to make room.
Those gripes are only minor and I think comic book fans will find the 3 hours an easy watch. Even those who aren't will find it enjoyable since, after all, who hasn't been touched or is familiar with these characters? I am not a big comic book person. The fact that I recognized ninety percent of the characters and several of the figures in the industry point out just how entrenched comics have become in our pop culture. This movie has a lot going for it and is a solid film that tells the history many of us aren't aware of, even though they are so familiar to us all.
SUPERHEROES: A NEVER-ENDING BATTLE is premiering tomorrow night, October 15th at 8pm ET, on PBS.

I saw someone post this a couple of weeks ago, realized I had almost everything to make it already, so decided to go ahead and make one. I downloaded the plans, got some hardware I needed and started working on it. A couple of modifications I made was the use of 1/4-28 rod and nuts instead of #10-32 since I had some of the hardware on hand and would have to order the inserts anyway, couldn't find them at lowes or ace hardware. Another modification was adding a miter bar to the bottom that pivots on a bolt and is secured with a screw, allowing the bar to be rotated so it is easier to store (pic 4). The jig works well, and the micro adjustment is a great feature. Thanks for looking.

Great work. I've been looking at these for a while, so between yours and the one that was posted a couple of weeks ago, it might be time to just do it!
-- All this sawdust.......wait........ what happened to my board???

Looks great. I also have the plans for one of these set ups. Does it work ok without a dado blade?

I have the same question as Jim (JR45)... My (cheap) table saw doesn't take a dado blade, so if this works….

Well, I guess my pictures are a bit misleading. I took the pictures before putting in the dado set to test it out. It made some great 3/8" box joints. Now to your question, it will not work as is with only a single kerf blade. There are two metal brackets that allow for adjustment of the pin size. The ones I got were 0.166" together, bigger than a standard 0.125" blade kerf.
The plans even say that it can create joints 1/4" – 13/16". But you could modify the brackets to make them an 1/8" or use just one piece of metal that is 1/8". I would just get a piece of metal that is already 1/8" thick, I know lowes has some stock like this. I think it can be done if you can't use a dado set, but it will just be harder to get the joints set up. The jig can also be used on a router table, if you have one with a miter slot. I hope this helps.

Hi! My name is Lizarardo Quintus Lacerta, but you can call me Liz. I'm twelve years old and I live in Terrene with my family and my friends. I'm in 6th grade at Reptarium Middle School. School is okay, but I'd rather be out having adventures with my friends, playing video games. Most of the time I have lots of fun, except for when I'm getting into trouble. I mean sometimes I get a great idea that doesn't quite turn out or I decide to try something I shouldn't, or I just do something without thinking, and then I end up busted.

Dead Space: Catalyst (Book) Review
We liked?
- Bite-sized chapters and story breaks
- A good video game novel
- Fans will enjoy
- Amazon's digital download is DRM-free
Not so much?
- The cliches from the video game also exist here (evil government, religious fanatics, etc.)
With Dead Space: Catalyst, author B. K. Everson takes his time building up his characters and story before unleashing the chaos that we all come to love and expect from the Dead Space sci-fi/horror series.
Who would have thought that a book based on a horror/sci-fi video game would be any good? If you're thoughts were like mine, maybe you should give Dead Space: Catalyst a try!
Let me begin this review by saying that I'm a huge Dead Space fan. The first Dead Space video game was a bit of a sleeper hit, and I certainly didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It reminded me of the days off Doom and Half-Life, where unexpected enemies and ambient noise took turns creating anxiety before scaring bejezzus out of you. You were constantly feeling on edge and unsafe, and even the solid walls behind you could not guarantee your safety when you were backed up against them.
When Dead Space 2 came out, I thought it was a bad idea to continue on a story that obviously wrapped up with a good, yet fright-filled conclusion. However, Dead Space 2 ended up being near the top of my favorite games from last year, despite it being one of the first games released that year, in January. The new environments brought about the new chills and scares. I'll never forget the NoonTech Disgnostic Machine (aka the Eye Poke Machine) mini-game. Eeeh! Still gives me the chills. It's probably no surprise but I feel the same exact way over the upcoming Dead Space 3, as I did about the second part, and I'm hoping that I'm wrong. (But I think I might be right this time – prove me wrong, EA!).
I even liked the Dead Space animated films Dead Space: Aftermath and Dead Space: Downfall, although I certainly didn't expect much from them other than to be cheap, gory thrills. Because of this, I also (unfairly?) set my standards low when it came to the books, specifically Dead Space: Martyr. How could a book, based on a video game actually be good?
Of course, I knew that I was wrong to categories all video game fiction this way after reading Drew Karpyshyn's novels based on the Mass Effect series. The first Mass Effect novel was such a good science fiction story that I shared it with my wife, and she loved it, too.
So, when Dead Space: Catalyst came across the proverbial Games Fiends review desk, I decided it was time to take the plunge and see how it stacked up against my love of the game.
One of the things I really enjoyed about this review in particular was that the review copy provided was an actual book. Typically, our review copies come in the digital flavor. I'm honestly fine with that. Digital books are easier and faster to distribute, and just about everybody has a device that can read them. I love technology the accessibility to have your entire book library at your fingertips, the same way your music library with an iPod, is a really nice convenience. At the same time, I like being able to dog-ear a page (yes, I dog-ear my books sometimes) to mark my "saved spot."
But enough about books vs. e-books — on with the review!
Dead Space: Catalyst is the second of two Dead Space prequel novels, written by B. K. Evenson. The first being Dead Space: Martyr, published in 2010. Martyr takes place 200 years before the events of the first game, and Dead Space: Catalyst takes place nearly a decade after the discovery of the Black Marker — at least that's the timeline I've been able to discern from the Internet. (So take that with a grain of salt.) The Black Marker is the dangerous alien artifact that corrupts minds and uses dead bodies to create horrific abominations called Necromorphs.
The story focuses primarily on Istvan and Jensi, two brothers who grew up living in poverty. Istvan, who is more than a bit of an eccentric, has seen numbers and patterns in practically everything throughout his life. Nobody else seems to understand him, and often times finds him to be aggressive or a bit of a lunatic. His younger brother Jensi, however, sticks up for him, and attempts to believe and understand his older sibling.
When the government (EarthGov) steps in and attempts to put the boys into foster care, Istvan rejects the idea and takes the opportunity to escape, while Jensi is wisked away and placed in a good home. Despite a better life, Jensi cannot stop worrying about his older brother, and returns back to the slums, to find Istvan alive, but certainly not well — mentally.
Istvan is tricked into committing a crime, and is taken to prison, and Jensi, vowing to find and help his brother, ends up in a penal colony where the government is, as most evil governments do, doing experiments on people with the Black Marker.
Uh oh…
Just like the first Dead Space game's location, the appropriately dark, empty, and claustrophobic space ship, the dank and dark prison colony is a pretty nasty location to mix of psychosis and an alien infestation.
As someone who doesn't often read a lot of books, I found B. K. Evenson's bite-sized chapters to be perfect. Whether I was reading for an hour before bed, or for just a few minutes, I was always able to find a good, purposeful break in the story, which was easy to pick up and resume at a later time.
Also for a story based on a space-horror game, I found the opening chapters to be nicely-paced, and filled with some good character development. I half-expected the opening chapter to be some sort of gory and action-packed Necromorph outbreak, but was glad that B.K. Evenson took his time building up to those moments.
While the story had its moments of cliches like evil governments, dark experimentation, and crazy cultists, Dead Space: Catalyst was a really enjoyable read! I still feel the same way about books based on video games, which is one of reluctance, but I think add B. K. Evenson along with Drew Karpyshyn, as authors who know how to faithfully adapt a world based on a video game, without turning it into a cheap and ridiculous, juvenile roller-coaster ride.
Well, done, B.K. Evenson. You've won me over.
One additional thing worth mentioning: if you purchase a digital version of Dead Space: Catalyst via Amazon, there is a notice as the bottom of the story synopsis that reads: "At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied."
Allow me this soapbox moment that has nothing to do with this review: DRM is used to curb software piracy, but has been a sore spot for gamers, particularly PC gamers. What often times happens, and this is my own opinion, is that DRM makes for miserable experiences for those who legitimate supporters and purchase these DRM-protected products. For example, in some PC gamers that use DRM, players must sign in with a managed account, and remain online at all times, even if the game isn't being played online with others players. This somehow proves that this person in particular bought the game with their hard-earned money, yet they can't play it without jumping through all of these hoops. With eBooks, it's also become something of a headache when it comes to sharing or attempting to transfer a book from one device to another. At times, it can be ridiculous. But to be fair, not all DRM is like this and is sometimes easier to manage that us gamers tend to let on. As somebody who understands both sides of the DRM perspective, I thought it was really cool for the publisher to release the book without it! Kudos!

Bariatric Surgeon Salaries
Bariatric surgeons specialize in treatment of the very obese by performing a range of procedures designed either to limit the amount of food that can be consumed, or the body's ability to absorb nutrients from the food. It's a therapy that's used only for those whose health is dramatically affected by their obesity, and who are unable to lose weight by conventional means. Bariatric surgeons earn large salaries, but aren't among the highest-earning surgical specialties.
Bariatric Surgeons
A number of consultants, staffing firms and other medical-industry bodies conduct regular surveys of physicians' salaries. Most do not provide a category specifically for bariatric surgery, since it's performed by many non-specialized surgeons. However, the Medical Group Management Association recorded bariatric surgery as a separate specialty in its 2011 salary survey, reporting an average salary of $456,266 per year.
The MGMA survey places bariatric surgeons among the higher-earning surgeons. The same survey reported neurosurgeons as the highest-earning specialty at $767,627 per year, with cardiovascular surgeons reporting mean incomes of $560,659 per year. Bariatric surgeons were seventh on the list, ahead of plastic surgeons at $433,510 and trauma surgeons at $432,155. Colo-rectal surgeons earned an average of $407,273, while general surgeons were well back at $368,108 per year.
Followup After Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is usually performed by laparoscopy, using surgical instruments and cameras inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. There are several techniques used. Some restrict food intake by means of a gastric band or sleeve, which constricts the stomach. Others remove or shorten part of the digestive tract. Bariatric surgery patients typically require long-term care and counseling to help them establish healthy eating and exercise habits, and to monitor their health for signs of anemia or other metabolic or nutritional problems.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates that demand for doctors in general will grow by 24 percent between 2010 and 2020. Bariatric surgeons should participate in that growth. The economic slump that began in 2008 caused a drop in bariatric surgery, since it's often paid for directly by the patients rather than their insurance company. However, obesity continues to be a major health problem in the United States, and that should provide long-term opportunities for bariatric surgeons.
2016 Salary Information for Physicians and Surgeons
Physicians and surgeons earned a median annual salary of $204,950 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, physicians and surgeons earned a 25th percentile salary of $131,980, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $261,170, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 713,800 people were employed in the U.S. as physicians and surgeons.

Aquafabulous! Roasted Carrot Dip
It's officially fall!
So, yeah. I'm not super happy about that. In my ideal world, summer would last forever.
There is something kinda wonderful about breaking out my favorite cozy scarf again, though.
The beginning of fall means that my kitchen is now actually cool enough for me to cook in again. There were a few weeks, there, when turning on the oven wasn't really an option.
I shared the first version of this recipe about a year ago. The inspiration came from my friend Leeanne who lives in Maple Ridge. She, in turn, was inspired by her local Haney Farmer's Market, which is also one of my favorites.
I refined it a little for the cookbook. I've made it many times since, always to rave reviews.

Roasted Carrot Dip
(Recipe courtesy of Aquafabulous! 100+ Egg-Free Vegan Recipes Using Aquafaba by Rebecca Coleman © 2017 www.robertrose.ca)
- 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided (approx.)
- 4 tsp toasted cumin seeds, divided
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp rinsed drained chickpeas
- 1⁄4 cup aquafaba
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 1⁄2 tsp seasoned rice vinegar
- Tortilla chips, pita chips or crackers
1. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, garlic, 2 tbsp (30 mL)
olive oil, 3 tsp (15 mL) cumin seeds and season with salt
and pepper. Toss well to coat.
2. Spread carrots in a single layer on prepared baking sheet
and bake in a preheated, 425 degree oven, stirring occasionally, until
crispy around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove from
oven and let cool slightly.
3. In food processor fitted with the metal blade, process
carrots, garlic, chickpeas, aquafaba, 2 tbsp olive
oil, tahini and rice vinegar until smooth, stopping the
motor to scrape down the sides, as necessary. Taste and
season with more salt and pepper, if desired.
4. Transfer to a bowl. Garnish with 1 tsp cumin seeds
and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Serve warm with
tortilla or pita chips or crackers.

Focus on the East ValleyPosted 10/18/2013
High-performing schools, major employment centers, excellent freeway access and enough shopping options to satisfy even the most avid shopaholic – that's just the beginning of the long list of attributes that attract home buyers to the East Valley.
More than 1.3 million people call the communities of Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Gilbert, Queen Creek and the San Tan Valley home, and if you've ever spent any time in the East Valley, it's easy to see why. Clean, wide open spaces and family-friendly neighborhoods abound. Maracay Homes has 10 single-family home neighborhoods – plus one on the way — in this much-in-demand segment of the Valley. Here's a closer look at what we offer:
Arch Crossing and Trestle Place at The Bridges at Gilbert: Our two newest East Valley neighborhoods opened in late September in The Bridges, one of the East Valley's hottest master-planned communities. Featuring meandering multi-use paths, neighborhood parks and other family-friendly amenities, The Bridges provides the framework to show off the spacious one- and two-story homes from our Insignia and Hallmark collection of floor plans.
Kinetic Point and Lumiere Garden at Eastmark: The Eastmark master-planned community in Mesa has been called the "Heart and Hub of the East Valley." In August, Maracay Homes debuted two neighborhoods there, featuring floor plans from our popular Signature and Hallmark collections. Front courtyards, expansive great rooms, walk-in kitchen pantries, bonus rooms, generational suites and other special design features, depending on the plan, are drawing rave reviews from buyers in these two new blockbuster neighborhoods.
Artesian Ranch: Located at the northwest corner of Gilbert and Ocotillo roads in Chandler, Artesian Ranch opened this summer with one and two-story designs ranging from 2,346 to 4,096 square feet from the new Marquis Collection. The neighborhood is conveniently connected to the East Valley's major employment, entertainment and education centers, thanks to its strategic placement near major surface streets and freeways.
Vaquero Ranch: With just 74 homesites, Vaquero Ranch is a charming community in Chandler located just east of the Lindsay and Ocotillo crossroads. One- and two-story designs from our popular Signature Collection range from 1,990 to 4,310 square feet, and come with a variety of inspired amenities, including a secret passageway from the master closet to the laundry and wrap-around porches, depending on the plan.
Villagio: The majority of the 135 homesites in this Queen Creek community celebrate the great outdoors with north/south exposures and easy access to the Queen Creek nature trail. Maracay Homes opened the Villagio community this summer with all-new 2,346- to 4,030-square-foot designs from the Marquis collection of floor plans. Spacious foyers entries, three-car garages, front-courtyards and more, depending on the plan, are classic design details found here.
Lyon's Gate: Neighborhood parks, picnic ramadas, basketball courts and a community pool draw neighbors out of their homes and into meaningful connections with one another at this Gilbert master-planned community located near Higley and Ray roads. Homes in Maracay's Lion's Gate community are from the Signature collection of floor plans ranging from 1,990 to 4,310 square feet.
Montelena East and Montelena West: One community, two amazing neighborhoods! Montelena East and Montelena West in Queen Creek wow buyers with spacious homes from the Paragon collection – our most spacious layouts — that provide four-car garages, bonus rooms, casitas and plenty of space for growing families. The community is located near Chandler Heights and Ellsworth roads, in the heart of the fast-growing East Valley.
Coming in 2014 – The Preserve at Hastings Farms: Located on Ellsworth, just south of Chandler Heights Road in Queen Creek, Maracay Homes at The Preserve at Hastings Farms is a family-oriented neighborhood of 89 homesites and one- and two-story designs. Contact Kristen Schmitt at firstname.lastname@example.com and ask to be placed on our interest list so that you don't miss an update about the latest developments in this new community.

Could someone please help me!
I am trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I want to have the user enter a loan amount and a percentage, then in my spreadsheet i have the particular rate appear that corresponds to information inputed above.
This is what I have so far.
If loan amount is under 250,000 and greater than or equal to 76% and less than equal to 90% then return a figure on the sheet named Data J5. I have other conditions that I have to add to this as well. However if I can work out how to do these, then I should be ok.
Can anyone help me please
The syntax for your AND and OR is wrong.
Read the Excel Help files to see how they should be used.
Since AND and OR are used to compare 2 or more objects, using something like:
makes no sense.
Perhaps you are looking for something like this:
which means that both of those conditions must be TRUE for the IF to be TRUE.
For OR, it would be:
which would mean that any one of those would have to be TRUE for the IF to be TRUE.
Click Here Before Posting Data or VBA Code ---> How To Post Data or Code.
Thanks for the help, I tried the following:-
It is still resulting in a false statement in the cell, when it should be producing a rate.
Are you able to shed any light on this?

Looks like you can update your list! You have your wings and won a lucid challenge etc.
The B I G Lucid to-do list topic Part II
Okay, a few dream goals of mine:
- Meet my dream guide again (at least I know what he looks like now)
- Learn to heal better with stronger chi ball
- Find my perfect meadow and be able to get there every time I wish
- Fly to the Himalayas and sit on a snowcapped mountain top
- Fly in the universe and float along the ring of Saturn and into the Milky Way
- Prolong LD
- Find my Tree of Souls again and manage to get closer
8 ) Manage a mutual dream with a friend of mine who is also an LDer
- Practice roller blading so I can get over my fear of falling in RL
- Practice singing (no neighbors that can complain )
- Find a mirror and step through
- Meet my future life partner, so I'll know what he looks like in RL (cheating)
I hate the fact that every time I get lucid, I go on auto-pilot and start flying immediately. I seriously don't remember a LD in which I haven't flown. So here is my list for things I really want to do when I learn to control my dreams in a way that I don't always do the same old flight which bores me now.
- find a lightsaber, just turn it on and look at it, listen to it.
- play drums with some awesome band, preferably some big stadium concert
- create an idyllic dreamtown, not a "world", just a small perfect place
- sing higher than I'm able to IWL
- visit outer space, but not realistic space, as in black emptiness with stars, but colorful scenery like photos by the Hubble
- interact in some of my favourite movies, maybe change the story by giving some character a heads up that he's getting killed…
- timetravel
- explore
- talk with dream characters that I don't know IWL, make friends
- learn something from an old wiseguy
that's all I can think of right now…
-Listen to my favorite songs in hyperreality
-Explore a new world
-Participate in an epic fantasy war
-Die heroically in said epic fantasy war and try to catch a glimpse of the afterlife
-Zombie survival (I've done it before in an ND, but not a really great one)
-Drum to songs I can't play IRL (Rush, Behemoth, ELP, etc.) in concert
-Backstage after said concert give Marilyn Manson a good, hefty slap in the face
-Enter my favorite TV shows, movies, and books in order to change the timeline
-Enter Mario Kart and try to win a race
-Tell a DC to make me become lucid in every dream I have
-Witness historical events firsthand (the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, V-Day, the Fall of Rome, etc.)
-Single-handedly save a concentration camp from Nazis
I don't have a big list…but I'll share it anyway XD

text: webkitlover 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Hi I've came across a Green/white reversible roll mat. in good condition bought it for £2 from a furniture shop. Identical in design to the well known Brit version same thickness and feel, same brass grommits, the same green cotton feeling fabric tape you tie in a bow when the mat is stored. It's possibly 2 thinner (olive/white)mats joined (welded rather than glued) during factory construction. there does not seem to be any sort of coating. Being reversible it can be stored rolled olive out or white side out to provide snow camo, The simple fact it has White on one side suggests a temperate if not Northern european user. I've never seen another one, I've Tried to research it, tried Google, but can't find anything about it, I don't even know if it's Brit, US, or foreign issue? Sadly I can't find any markings on it at all (apart from the users scrawled name in marker pen), and I have no idea how old it is, it could well be decades old and there is very little wear on it. My first thought was that it might be something to do with the "Royal Marine Arctic warfare Cadre" but I've nothing to back it up. Is it possible it's another rare trial piece of kit? I'll do a photo in the morning. Edited March 6, 2019 by webkitlover Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Young-OK You, George Mason University
Host: Dr. Songon An
Function, mechanism and regulation of a mediator domain of trans-AT polyketide synthase
Type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS) is a group of multi-enzyme complexes which produce various macrolides such as erythromycin, FK506 (Tacrolimus), rifamycin and rapamycin. The modular type I PKSs are characterized by the linear assembly of modules containing functional domains analogous to the fatty acid synthase. The relatively new class of PKS is called "trans-acyltransferase (AT)- PKS". A recent computational analysis of sequenced bacterial genomes revealed that more than one-third of bacterial modular PKS belongs to trans-AT PKSs, implying that trans-AT PKS are a major class of natural products biosynthases. The trans-AT PKS contain novel enzyme functions, atypical modular organizations including split modules, non-elongation modules, and unusual domain orders.
One of the frequently observed novel enzyme is the condensation-incompetent ketosynthase domain (KS0). KS0 is found in associated with various enzymes, such as dehydratase, enoylreductase, O-methyltransferase, thioesterase, active ketosynthase, and at the interface of PKS-NRPS. It cannot synthesize carbon-carbon bond formation as normal KS does, but it has been demonstrated as essential enzyme. The past few years of study have shown this enzyme contains a gate-keeping function as well as intermodular translocation function. Our recent study of difficidine biosynthase KS05 revealed that it performs intermodular translocation aiding the associated dehydratase domain activity. The mediating functions are also observed in other PKS synthases similarly aiding other enzyme activities. The modification of associated acyl carrier protein (ACP) is also regulated by KS0. Our enzyme kinetics revealed that KS0 is an allosteric inhibitor of AT. In addition, our high-resolution mass spectrometry data showed that the modification of associated ACP is mainly dominated and regulated by KS0.
The promise and expectation of PKS engineering is to generate novel macrolides including novel antibiotics, non-immunosuppressant FKBP inhibitors. However, the specificity between the protein components need to be overcome. Our research showed the mediating activity of KS0 is essential in circumvent the specificity. We expect that KS0 can be utilized as a tool of synthetic biology and protein engineering.
