Mammalian male fertility relies on complex inter- and intracellular signaling during spermatogenesis. Here we describe three alleles of the widely expressed A-kinase anchoring protein 9 (Akap9) gene, all of which cause gametogenic failure and infertility in the absence of marked somatic phenotypes. Akap9 disruption does not affect spindle nucleation or progression of prophase I of meiosis but does inhibit maturation of Sertoli cells, which continue to express the immaturity markers anti-Mullerian hormone and thyroid hormone receptor alpha in adults and fail to express the maturation marker p27(Kip1). Furthermore, gap and tight junctions essential for blood-testis barrier (BTB) organization are disrupted. Connexin43 (Cx43) and zona occludens-1 are improperly localized in Akap9 mutant testes, and Cx43 fails to compartmentalize germ cells near the BTB. These results identify and support a novel reproductive tissue-specific role for Akap9 in the coordinated regulation of Sertoli cells in the testis.%B Genetics %V 194 %P 447-57 %8 2013 Jun %G eng %N 2 %1

A doorbell isn't all that fancy or interesting. But there's the contrast of the black with the red. And the stepping of the bricks leading to someone walking by. We usually imagine doorbells as being next to the door. Placed so that you're facing the door. But this one is off to the side. So it draws your attention away from where you're wanting to go.
This particular doorbell is on the building occupied by Pyramid Atlantic when they were in Silver Spring. At the time of this post, the building was unoccupied.

Berta is full of energy, keen and cheerful. She is truly a Berliner, though never hesitant to get out.
This is what friends have said when asked to describe me, and I cannot argue. I was born in Berlin just 33 years ago and grew up moving several times around Germany. Even after living in South Africa, Canada and Peru, I was drawn back to my birthplace. Having lived in many neighbourhoods of Berlin, I decided five years ago that Neukölln is my jam, and just a few years later, my dream of owning a flat here became a reality. The cherry on top: I have the freedom to work professionally from home.
I have always enjoyed sharing my home with guests, so Airbnb was made for hosts like me. It brings people, cultures, and experiences from all over the world right to my doorstep and into my life without hitting the road, catching a train, or boarding a plane. Welcoming guests from near and far and introducing them to Berlin brings an element of inspiration into my day-to-day life that would otherwise be missing. Guests can be a 1-up for in-house cooking sessions and outings with friends!
When I began hosting, I provided written tips and tricks for my guests so that they could find the restaurants and bars of Berlin beloved by locals. 2015, a trip to Milan, for which I rummaged through seemingly endless guides in an attempt to plan the perfect weekend, sparked an idea, and perhaps a solution to this dizzying process for guests back home: a minimalist guide, like a folding map, for Neukölln and Berlin. Just a few months later, my first travel guide, BertaBerlin, was born. 2017 I released BertaBerlin for Kreuzberg and for Mitte as well as QueerBerlin.
BertaBerlin are folding maps with travel recommendations for Berlin and also more specifically, Neukölln and Kreuzberg. The front side features exclusive highlights in the much-loved district of Neukölln, Kreuzberg and Mitte, along with detailed maps and photos to help you find your own way.
Alternatively, the opposite side of the travel guide offers three curated walks through the city, so that you can also get to know greater Berlin. The tours start with breakfast, and direct guests to monuments, museums, shopping, other restaurants and hidden gems, and end with cocktails in some of my favourite bars.
My friend Katrin has helped me with graphic and product design of BertaBerlin, in particular with custom street maps. Her previous experience designing the travel guide "Ansichtssache. Freiburg ist schön" was invaluable to the project. Amusingly, my very first Airbnb guest, Audrey, edited BertaBerlin; because after Audrey left my home, we became neighbours and remain good friends.
Looking forward, I hope to find time to issue another travel guide for Berlin (or possibly elsewhere). Meanwhile, I continue to write the walk this way blog to present Berlin visitors with some hints about the local lifestyle. Thanks to BertaBerlin, I no longer only dream about this life, but instead I can live it. In return, I am delighted to welcome new guests into my home to share my story, in exchange for those they bring with them in their own pockets, of course.

How to Remove Stains From Cutlery
Cutlery is subject to exposure to all kinds of substances through regular use: greasy foods, minerals and detergents, to name a few. Over time, that once-sparkling flatware's finish becomes dull and stained. Even stainless-steel cutlery stains. In many cases, these stains can be rubbed away with items already in the kitchen; sometimes, it may take more than one method to completely remove a stain.
Pour a small amount of white vinegar onto a nonabrasive white cloth. Wipe down the cutlery with the cloth to remove general stains and marks such as white hard-water deposits. Rinse and dry with a fresh white cloth.
Fill the sink with 1 inch of hot water -- enough to completely cover a layer of cutlery. Pour in 1 tablespoon of baking soda, swishing it around to dissolve the powder. Add the cutlery to the baking-soda soak and allow them to sit for 10 or 15 minutes. Rinse the cutlery and buff each piece separately.
Add a squirt of mild dish soap to shallow bowl of hot water. Dip a sponge or dishcloth into the soapy water, then wipe cutlery tinted with a rainbow discoloration. This discoloration happens from a dishwasher that doesn't rinse and dry adequately if strong detergents are used to clean the cutlery, or if the cutlery has been exposed to extremely hot grease. Rinse and dry the cutlery after rubbing with the soapy water. This method also removes some chalky hard-water deposits left behind when cutlery is left to air dry.
Apply a dab of stainless-steel cutlery polish to a soft white cloth. Rub stainless cutlery to remove stains and restore shine. Rinse and dry as directed by the polish package instructions, which may vary by brand.
Things Needed
- White vinegar
- Nonabrasive white cloth such as a tea towel
- Baking soda
- Mild dishwashing liquid
- Sponge or dishcloth
- Shallow bowl
- Stainless-steel cutlery polish
- Rinse food debris off cutlery immediately after use to help prevent stains. Wipe sticky foods away with a wet dishcloth, as the substance becomes more difficult to remove once it hardens.
- Keep silverware and stainless-steel cutlery separated, as stainless may affect the color of the silver if they touch.
- Avoid using abrasives such as steel wool on cutlery as this may cause fine scratches, which harbor stains. Fine scratches also detract from the cutlery's finish.
- Do not leave cutlery immersed for extended times in substances that may stain, such as coffee, tea or even some soups.

The love for Burgundy led Dirk Niepoort to plant a hectare of Pinot Noir in the Douro Region. The vineyard was planted in 1999, facing north, on the top of Quinta de Nápoles, with a mixture of clones from Burgundy and with a density of around 12 000 plants per hectare. The soil is schist, typical from this region and distinct from the region where the variety comes from and although the location is the freshest and highest of the property, it's a challenge, every harvest to produce the wine, as intended: a fresh and elegant wine, not heavy but with a long finish. The wine is normally fermented in wooden vats and every year, part or 100% of the stems are used.
Harvest began on 19 August, earlier than usual, in order to maintain the high levels of acidity and avoid high degrees of alcohol. It was a more productive year, around 25% better than 2012. The decision to start harvesting earlier turned out to be the right one, since the main vineyards had already been harvested before it started raining heavily on the 27th September.
The grapes fermented in a wooden vat with 50% of stem, and 17 days of maceration. The wine aged 100% in used barrels. It was bottled end of April 2015.
Beautiful red colour with light concentration. On the nose, it presents aromas of red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry and light notes of mature stems. Vibrant and very expressive, it has a fine presence that reminds us of Burgundy. On the palate, compact despite its lightness, being fresh and very seductive, with very silky and appellative tannins, fruit and spice notes typical of this variety. Long finish, with an excellent balance and leaves a very fresh palate, inviting to a second glass. A fine sample of the variety, to the level of Pinot 2006.

ALMEIDA, a town of north-eastern Portugal, in the district of Guarda and formerly included in the province of Beira; situated in hilly country between the river Céa, a tributary of the Douro, and the river Turones, a branch of the Agueda. Pop. (1900) 2330. Almeida was long one of the principal frontier fortresses of Portugal. It was captured by the Spaniards in 1762. During the Peninsular War (q.v.), the country between the Coa and the Spanish fortress of Ciudad Rodrigo, 25 m. E.S.E., was the scene of hard fighting. Almeida was taken by the French in 1810, and its recapture, by the allied British and Portuguese forces under Lord Wellington, was only effected after a relieving force under Marshal Masséna had been defeated at Fuentes d'Onor (or Fuentes de Ofioro), 13 m. S.S.E. The battle was fought on the 5th of May 1811 and the fortress fell five days later.

History of Tourism The earliest forms of leisure tourism can be traced as far back as the Babylonian and Egyptian empires. A museum of "historic antiquities" was open to the public in the sixth century BC in Babylon, while the Egyptians held many religious festivals attracting not only the devout, but many who came to see the famous buildings and works of art in the cities. The local towns accommodated tourists by providing services such as: vendors of food and drink, guides, hawkers of souvenirs, touts and prostitutes.
From around the same date, Greek tourists travelled to visit the sites of healing gods. Because the independent city-states of ancient Greece had no central authority to order the construction of roads, most of these tourists travelled by water, hence seaports prospered. The lands of the Mediterranean Sea produced a remarkable evolution in travel. People travel for trade, commerce, religious purposes, festivals, medical treatment, or education developed at an early date.

Guidebooks became available as early as the fourth century BC, covering a vast area of destinations, i. e. Athens, Sparta and Troy. Pausanias, a Greek travel writer, produced a noted "description of Greece" between AD 160 and 180, which, in its critical evaluation of facilities and destinations, acted as a model for later writers. Advertisements, in the form of signs directing visitors to wayside inns, are also known from this period. However, under Romans rule is where international travel became first important.
With no foreign borders between England and Syria, and with the seas safe from piracy due to the Roman patrols, conditions favoring travel had arrived. Roman coinage was acceptable everywhere, and Latin was the common language. Romans travelled to Sicily, Greece, Rhodes, and Troy, Egypt and from the third century AD, to the Holy Land. Domestic tourism also flourished within the Roman Empire. Second homes were built by the wealthy within easy travelling distance of Rome, occupied particularly during the springtime social season.
Naples attracted the retired and the intellectuals. Before the sixteenth century, those who sought to travel had three modes in which to do so. They could walk, ride a horse or they could be carried, either on a little or on a carrier's wagon. The development of the sprung coach was a huge advance for those who regularly travelled, and by the mid 1600's, coaches were operating regularly in Britain. In the eighteenth century the introduction of turnpike roads, which provided improved surfaces for which tolls would be charged.
The later introduction of the metal, leaf spring suspension also added to comfort. Travel also requires accommodation, and at that time, it was basic. To accommodate the new demand for travel inns was provided. They provided fresh horses, and lodgings were available for rent to visitors when they arrived at their destination. From the early seventeenth century, a new form of tourism developed as a direct outcome of the freedom and quest for learning heralded by the Renaissance. Young men who wanted positions at court were encouraged to travel to the Continent to finish their education.
Others soon adopted this practice in the upper echelons of society, and it soon became customary for the education of a gentleman to be completed by a "Grand tour" of major cultural centres of Europe, accompanied by a tutor and often-lasting three years or more. The appeal soon became social, and leisure seeking young men travelled, predominantly to France and Italy, to enjoy the rival cultures and social life of cities such as Paris, Venice, or Florence. By the end of the eighteenth century, the custom had become institutionalized for the gentry. Passports have their origins in the medieval testimonial.
A letter from an ecclesiastical superior given to a pilgrim to avoid the latter's possible arrest on charges of vagrancy. Later, papers of authority to travel were more widely issued by the state, particularly during periods of warfare with neighboring European countries. Spas were already well established during the time of the Roman Empire, but their popularity, based on the supposed medical benefits of the waters, lapsed in the subsequent centuries. Renewed interest in the therapeutic qualities of mineral waters has been ascribed to the influence of the Renaissance in Britain, and elsewhere in Europe.


text: Central Bank of Barbados tackling counterfeit money Loop News Created : 2 October 2017 Barbados News The Central Bank of Barbados has become the first central bank in the region to introduce a currency app, it said in an announcement today. The mobile app, which is called "Barbadian Banknotes: Are Yours Real?" and can be downloaded free from Google Play or iTunes, is part of the organisation's ongoing efforts to combat counterfeiting. "With this app, Barbadians have the information they need to authenticate their money right at their fingertips," said Octavia Gibson, Deputy Director, Currency at the Central Bank. "We've always stressed the importance of checking your notes as soon as you receive them, and this is an on-the-spot counterfeit detection guide." Gibson went on to explain how the app works. "You choose the denomination you want to look at and it not only shows you where the security features are on that note but also how they work. So if you're looking at the $100 note, you can select the hologram and it will show you it changing colour. With this app you know exactly what you should be looking for on your notes." The new app was created in collaboration with Barbados' banknote printer, De La Rue, which also helped produce Bank of England's currency app. Several other international central banks, including Switzerland's, Pakistan's and Australia's have also introduced similar apps. "This is only the latest resource available in our fight against counterfeiting. We continue to have a wealth of information on our website, we still have printed materials available free of charge for those who want them, and we also offer free training sessions to companies and groups upon request," reiterated Gibson. "What's unique about this is the convenience. I encourage everyone to download the app and to use it to protect themselves."

NEW BEDFORD — Charlie Baker's term as governor had yet to eclipse 50 days when he traveled to his first National Governors Association meeting in 2015, he told those at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School on Wednesday night.
When he listened to every governor describe the hurdles that prevented their states from achieving economic success, he heard common theme: a lack of skills.
"I said guys, skill building, workforce development, that's where the action is. We need to do more of it," Baker told his staff when he returned to the Bay State. "Let's think of some interesting and unusual ways to chase this."
From the brainstorming the administration created the Workforce Development Skills Capital Grant program, which focused on funding vocational schools, community colleges and community organizations. According to Baker, $30 million have been spread to about 65 vocational and technical schools throughout the state like the one he spoke at Wednesday in a packed cafeteria.
"The reason we did that was it was pretty clear to us, that skill building is going to be a fundamental part of our ability to succeed," Baker said.
The governor hopes to build on that, stating he's budgeted a $10 million increase for the 2018 fiscal year in terms of the workforce development budget. It would push the overall total to a little more than $200 million, he said.
"A $10 million increase, guys," Baker said while looking at the lawmakers in attendance who included Sen. Mark Montigny and Reps. Chris Markey and Robert Koczera. "You going to be with me on that? What do you think?"
The crowd chuckled but then approved with applause looking for bipartisan support from the Democratic lawmakers in attendance listening to the Republican governor.
Baker came to New Bedford to speak about the value of vocational/technical schools but another common theme dominated the first half of Baker's address as well as Montigny's introduction of the governor. Each preached non-partisan cooperation.
"I can go (to Boston) and fight with the governor and grandstand and play games," Montigny said. "Or I can go, as I do every day, and say, 'Governor, how can we partner, to make this city a better place?'"
Baker took note of his parents who for 60 years of marriage remained divided on politics. Baker's mother was a proud Democrat while his father served in the administrations of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
"I took a couple of really valuable lessons away from this," Baker said. "The first was it's possible to disagree without being disagreeable. And it's possible to have a different point of view about how to get somewhere without it being a character flaw."
Baker even quoted former Democratic congressman Barney Frank regarding agreeing with politicians.
He also brought up the internal debate within his administration in his major appointment being a Democrat in Tom Quinn as Bristol County District Attorney.
"This is a democracy," Baker said. "The folks that set it up way back when set it up deliberately to ensure that people wouldn't get their own way all the time."
The governor reiterated through his speech the importance of every city and town in Massachusetts. He said the litmus test of the prosperity of the state is often judged by constituents in respect to the success of their city, town or even household, which usually translates to action within the government.
"I don't want to be one of those people who spends all this time in public life and doesn't have anything to show for it," Baker said. "Well I oppose this. I oppose that. What kind of record is that? I want to be one of those people that ... people look back and say, 'Those guys actually got something done.'"

while monday always have a way to smack you in the face. perhaps, tuesday have a way to make you loose your appetite for breakfast.
like this morning for example.
when you took an empty seat at public transport. you would hope that whoever sit next to you would be a nice person. please note that here, nice means she/he is georgeous, dress well, smell nice.. etc.
but in this world, you just can't have it all.
this morning, i got a nice looking girl sitting next to me. i thought this is going to be a nice ride to work. no chit chat, but a nice smell of perfume will do just fine. and it did. until i smell something else.
something… errr..
it was another girl, standing next to me, sweat seeps trough visibly around the armpit of her blue shirt.. definitely a rexona alert.
as result. i had a sore neck for turning my head the opposite way and keep looking at the window along the ride. not to mention a breathing difficulties.
this is just. not. my day.

Look, it's just this simple; men of good conscience cannot abide evil, they just can't. Where evil exists, therein lies their purpose. Point blank, end of story. It's just that simple.
There is no such thing as a "bad hero", a little misguided maybe, but there ultimate selfless act made them persons who valued others more than themselves. A person like that is naturally drawn to evil. Evil, in the form of harming others, stirs the hero's outrage like nothing else. Like moths to a flame.
It's just that simple.

1. Re: jbpm5 scale out reference architecture..krisverlaenen Feb 28, 2012 4:42 PM (in response to affandar)
This looks like a decent session management strategy for large deployments (where you need to be able to manage a lot more than just a few thousand of active process instances).
It is indeed possible to migrate sessions and process instances to a different DB. Note that a lot more is actually be possible, that your strategy is not using (which might not mean that there is an issue with this of course, just mentioning as this could give you more options to scale as well).
You can move a session from one node to other. So if node1 instantiated a session, but at some point later, node1 is busy, you can restore the same session on node2 and continue execution of the process instance there. So this gives you more flexibility than defined in "For requests pertaining to a specific process instance, consult the table in (5) & (6) and route to appropriate node". But this is probably a trade of between cpu and db (as moving to another node probably means that the session needs to be restored from db while it might be in cache on the original node). We do however recommend to not run the same session in parallel on multiple nodes (as that would usually lead to conflicts and decreased performance. So binding a session to a node isn't necessarily a bad strategy (just means you have some flexibility to reallocate if necessary).
You can even move a process instance to another session. Node that you should only consider this if your process instance is not linked to its session state (otherwise you should always use them together). Examples where session state is used is for example when you are using timers or when you are using business rules anywhere in your process.
We're working on setting up improved session management for cases like this (instantiate session remotely on nodes based on a specific strategy and distribute requests). If you believe this would be something we could collaborate on, let me know !
2. Re: jbpm5 scale out reference architecture..affandar Feb 29, 2012 3:56 AM (in response to krisverlaenen)
Thanks for reviewing. Switching the session between different nodes might be problematic for performance as you noted.
Would love to collaborate in this area. Please let me know how I can help.
3. Re: jbpm5 scale out reference architecture..santhakumar Apr 2, 2012 10:19 AM (in response to affandar)
Can you please provide little more details about moving the process instance to another session? Do you have any examples?
4. Re: jbpm5 scale out reference architecture..comerm Jan 28, 2013 7:41 PM (in response to krisverlaenen)
I am very interested in information on migrating process instances to another session also. My guess is that the main issue is migrating timers?
Is there an example of how to move a process instance between sessions? Can anyone provide more information?

Autism has become one of the most urgent public health challenges in many communities around the world. Central to meeting this challenge is a life-course approach, whereby early identification and intervention are believed to prevent the long-term disabling consequences of autism for the affected individual, and to substantially reduce demands and costs to health and social care systems. We currently know very little about how autism emerges over time and why affected children differ substantially from each other. Therefore, a rapidly growing area of research falls at the crossroads of two exciting disciplines: infancy and autism.
This emerging research draws on innovative basic science, which has in the last decade succeeded in getting answers from babies about their development, cognition, and communication. These advances are now being used for the long-term goal of detecting autism much earlier than currently possible and therefore, reducing its disabling impact within the period of maximal brain plasticity. The proposed project focuses on understanding how genetic risk for autism and related developmental disorders changes early brain development and functioning. Working with community partners and with families, knowledge gained from this research can support early identification of autism.

VF Names Mike Allen to New Establishment List
Whoever thought Politico's Mike Allen and Justin Timberlake would share the same hemisphere? But here we are in the media twilight zone as Vanity Fair releases its 2011 New Establishment List.
The list "identifies the top 50 of an innovative new breed of buccaneering visionaries, engineering prodigies, and entrepreneurs—'The Age of Information gives way to a burgeoning Age of Technology,'" as VF Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter puts it.
Allen sails in at #39. Timberlake trails behind him at #50. Other notables: Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg (#1) Jay-Z (#21), Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (#28), and Tyler Perry (#44).

text: Law Hot topics Privacy and prejudice in the genetic age Imagine a dystopian future where genetically engineered babies give rise to a superior strain of humans who eventually dominate the world. Naturally conceived children are perceived as substandard and pushed to the fringes of civilized society. BY Omar Ha-Redeye 15 Mar 2017 Share: Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email It's what we imagine when we watch science fiction films. But with the mapping of the human genome, and greater identification of specific genes that give rise to a medical predisposition, it's a reality that some are taking very seriously. In 2008, the U.S. introduced the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA), legislation intended to prevent insurance companies from denying coverage based on a genetic profile and prohibit the use of such information in making hiring, promotion or firing decisions. Some insurance companies argue that rates are already determined based on detailed medical profiles and check-ups which are used to predict the relative risk of morbidity and mortality. Failing to factor genetic information into the analysis, they say, means the risks of genetic carriers of serious diseases are disproportionately borne by everyone. Those who argue in favour of legislation point to the need to foster greater research into genetics. Apprehension about genetic discrimination prevents individuals from donating or consenting to the use of materials in research and biobanks require comprehensive participation to advance the field. Meanwhile, to address these problems, Canada has introduced Bill S-201 – the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act, which would add genetic discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Act. (A similar statute, Bill 127, has been introduced in Ontario.) The challenge is that we have so much more to learn. We are quickly realizing that almost every genetic trait contains multiple alleles (variant forms of a gene), often with complex interaction of many different genetic influences. These traits often don't even manifest absent some form of environmental factors. For insurers to accurately predict these types of risks, they would have to essentially place the equivalent of a GPS device on human beings to monitor diet, exercise and exposure to environmental influences. That level of intrusion obviously could never be justified. That's why any assumptions made about genetic traits are inherently flawed. Like all forms of discrimination, they are based on faulty or incomplete information from which misleading or erroneous assumptions are derived. In our haste to apply our newfound knowledge about the building blocks of our bodies, we should refrain from the arrogant assumption that we've truly mastered how they work. Legislation such as Bills S-201 and 127 could provide the necessary reprieve to come to that conclusion. Share: Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Omar Ha-Redeye is a Toronto lawyer and legal educator

How To Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back - By Analysing Her Personality
In trying to get your ex girlfriend back, there's no one solution that can fix every guys situation. This is because different women respond in different ways to different things. If you got this wrong in your relationship and expected your girlfriend to be impressed by things that didn't impress her at all, it may be the reason for your eventual dumping.
In my book "THE LOVEMAP CODE: How To Make Someone Fall In Love With You Using Psychology" I go through in detail, psychological techniques that have been proven to make a person fall in love with you including an ex who dumped you. However in this article, i'd just like to focus on The DISC System and how you can use this to get your ex girlfriend back.
Understanding The DISC System allows us to figure out the main personality type your ex falls under. By doing this, we can better figure her out and what needs to be done accordingly to get her back. Women can be categorised via The DISC System. She may have either a:
Dominant Personality
Influencial Personality
Supporter Personality
Conservative Personality
Whatever quadrant of The Disc System the girl falls into (i.e. whichever of the four personality types best describes her), basically gives us information about her such as:
What turns her on the most,
What she looks for in a guy
...And what she doesn't want in a guy (which incidentally may be what caused her to fall out of love with you and breakup with you).
Now every girl will have a percentage of each personality type (guys do too) but it's the over-riding personality type that best describes your ex that you need to focus on to get her back. Here I want to focus on just one - the Dominant personality quadrant.
Getting a Girl Back Who Has a Dominant Personality Type
First you can only get your ex girlfriend back by knowing which personality type she falls in (I show in The Lovemap Code program how to find this out). If she has an Influencial or Supporter personality type, then it'd be more appropriate to work on things that appeals to a person who falls into those categories.
Girls with a Dominant personality type however, are girls that place a high amount of value on control and action ...and tend to have large egos and be strong-willed and decisive.
They respond well to getting results and being in a position of power.
They respond badly to losing control or being made to not feel powerful.
With this said, a big reason a girl within the Domiant personality quadrant could dump a guy is if he didn't make her feel powerful.
This is contrary to many "alpha male" seduction guides you might find in the shops which tell you that the guy should always "take control" and be "dominant". These qualities might bring some good results if you were dating say a Supporter or a Conservative ...but with a Dominant personalty type they'd actually do more harm than good.
This is why you should never listen to generic advice on "how to get an ex back" or "how to make someone attracted to you" etc. because advice needs to be tailored to the individual person's DISC quadrant and as I also show in The Lovemap Code - their specific lovemap.
How to use this to get your ex girlfriend back
If you think the above applies to you, then to get your ex girlfriend back you will need to take immediate action to remedy the things that have become unattractive about you. In trying to get a girl back who is within the Dominant personality quadrant, making sure the woman feels in control, and in power are crucial. We're not talking about you becoming a wuss or anything ...we're just talking about satisfying her need to feel in power ...which if you didn't, would be a bar to them ever falling in love with you.
Addressing a girls specific personality quadrant is only one part of trying to get your ex girlfriend back however. I go through the full system you need to adopt in my book "THE LOVEMAP CODE: How To Make Someone Fall In Love With You Using Psychology". Suffice to say that the more principals you adopt, the easier it will become to get your ex girlfriend back.

Purplebricks says it has seen year-on-year revenue growth of about 20 per cent despite what its chairman calls "a challenging UK housing market ... driving a shakeout in the industry."
The agency says it has seen year-on-year revenue growth of about 20 per cent despite what its chairman calls "a challenging UK housing market ... driving a shakeout in the industry."
In a trading statement this morning that is very light on specifics in terms of its UK activities, Purplebricks says it has seen "good progress in the six months ended October 31 2018 with year-on-year revenue growth of approximately 20 per cent driven by double-digit growth in instructions along with a continuation of increasing average revenue per instruction from improved attachment rates of traditional and new ancillary products."
It says it continues to win market share against a challenging market backdrop in the UK.
"The online/hybrid sector continues to grow and a market share of 74 per cent was achieved in the month of October. This is despite increased competition and total category media spend in the sector increasing 80 per cent" the statement says.
Purplebricks claims it leads the UK agency market in brand awareness with 'aided awareness' of 97 per cent and 'unaided awareness' of 48 per cent.
In a nod to the highly-publicised financial difficulties for Emoov and the closure of Cornell's' online service Hatched, the Purplebricks group chief executive Michael Bruce tells shareholders this morning: "The challenging UK housing market is driving a shakeout in the industry, highlighting weaknesses in both some traditional and online agents business models.
"Against this backdrop Purplebricks continues to grow and win market share. Longer term with the best known brand in the sector, our flexible business model and the strong balance sheet, Purplebricks is well placed to further strengthen its leading UK position and replicate this success overseas. We are confident about the future for our business."
Purplebricks shares fell almost nine per cent yesterday, ahead of today's update, closing at 181.30p - in January this year the share price hit 498.80p.
Purplebricks' bullish claims about its UK performance are tempered by its overseas activities, however.
It admits to having encountered "some challenges in Australia amid a tough market backdrop" but claims changes made to its fees and services to customers "have been well received and have resulted in a significant increase in conversion from valuation to instruction."
It says after a summer slowdown down under, October showed over 35 per cent growth in new instructions over the previous month.
The agency's statement to the stock market this morning also claims that in the US it "has established the foundations to realise the substantial market opportunity."
As at the end of October 2018 there were some 140 Local Real Estate Experts and sales consultants operating in seven states, it says, with more currently in training and going through the recruitment process.
"While most of these states are in the very early stages of development, sellside listings are growing and buyside revenue is increasing. Attach rates on ancillary revenue streams from our independent escrow business are performing strongly and we see significant further opportunity to grow ancillary revenues in the US from existing and new income streams."
The statement also repeats Purplebricks' recently-announced moves into Canada and Germany.
"The Canadian business is performing strongly, in line with our high expectations. With a structured plan now being implemented to drive further significant growth through 2019" says the firm.

In the book "The Fighter's Mind: Inside the Mental Game", author Sam Sheridan interviews various stars, movers, and shakers in the greater fighting community, mostly MMA fighters and trainers, to pick their brains about the intricacies of fighting. While I myself am not much of a fighting or MMA fan, I found the accounts to be fascinating because here is a group of people who put themselves through so much pain and anguish for the thing that they love. Training regimens for fighters are so much beyond what the average person would refer to as "one of the shittiest days of my life" and yet they do it day after day, year after year in order to achieve their goal. I can't help but be in awe of their achievements, dumbstruck by the magnitude of it all. I may never in my life want something as much as these men want to be strong.
Sheridan leaves the last chapter of the book for the question that must burn brightly for so many, why? Why do this to yourself? Why do this to others? Fighting is about hurting another person, as Sheridan repeats often, but on others who are consenting in their own twisted way to being hurt. Hurt becomes not an undesirable but instead a way of showing effectiveness, the more hurt you output the better you are at your job, the worse your opponent is at avoiding it. Your own blood and bone are like health points in a game, a dispensable resource to be used to achieve your goal of knocking out your opponent, if you know how to spend them. But having the mental fortitude to make such an exchange is nearly beyond me.
And yet, I am intrigued as are many others, MMA continuing to pull more and more viewers into the fold. Something about the struggle, the exchange, the domination of one over another seems to draw people in even as the world seems to grow more and more appalled that such a sport could still exist. Perhaps the reason we watch is the reason they fight. Contest is it's own reward, intrinsic value. Some are willing to pay almost any price to be pitted against each other and win. Others will allow others to pay any price just to watch.

A vivid and extraordinarily wide-ranging collection of writings by an eminent historian of Spain and its empire
When J. H. Elliott published Spain and Its World, 1500–1700 some twenty years ago, one of many enthusiasts declared, "For anyone interested in the history of empire, of Europe and of Spain, here is a book to keep within reach, to read, to study and to enjoy" (Times Literary Supplement). Since then Elliott has continued to explore the history of Spain and the Hispanic world with originality and insight, producing some of the most influential work in the field. In this new volume he gathers writings that reflect his recent research and thinking on politics, art, culture, and ideas in Europe and the colonial worlds between 1500 and 1800.
The volume includes fourteen essays, lectures, and articles of remarkable breadth and freshness, written with Elliott's characteristic brio. It includes an unpublished lecture in honor of the late Hugh Trevor-Roper. Organized around three themes—early modern Europe, European overseas expansion, and the works and historical context of El Greco, Velázquez, Rubens, and Van Dyck—the book offers a rich survey of the themes at the heart of Elliott's interests throughout a career distinguished by excellence and innovation.
J. H. Elliott is Regius Professor Emeritus of Modern History, University of Oxford, and author of Spain and Its World, 1500–1700, published by Yale University Press. He has been the recipient of many honors, including the Wolfson Prize for History, the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Social Sciences, and the Balzan Prize for History. He lives in Oxford, United Kingdom
"Scholars, students, history aficionados, and even policymakers will find that Elliott offers valuable insights on the early modern world that speak to our own as well."—Roger Louis Martinez, The Americas
"Professor Elliott's book is a readable and valuable volume. It can serve both as an introduction for the historian in general and a book for specialised scholars of early modern history and the colonial history of the Americas. In brief, this book is a useful exercise in comparative history that attempts to make a methodological contribution by dealing with a rich compilation of case studies."—Marcelo Fabian Figueroa, European Review of History

Looking for Wood Flooring in Waco TX?
Wood flooring in Waco TX is the new trend these days. It looks warm and inviting, but is actually cooler for the home than carpet, which helps with those electricity bills. Hardwood and bamboo are the two wood flooring choices available. At Waco Carpet Company, Hardwood is made from various timber types and bamboo is derived from bamboo plants. They look great in bedrooms, hallways and living areas. The gleam of a polished wood floor is pleasing to the eye and can raise the resale value of a home.
There are several different wood floor styles. There are finished and unfinished with several different types of finishing options. Unfinished wood is ideal if you are trying to match existing wood floors in other areas of your home. The installer will supply the unfinished wood and match the stain to your existing floor before installing and finishing the new floor. Water-based finishes are the best because they will resist discoloration over time and are very durable. Darker stains give the appearance of aged wood, so if you have a ranch style or Victorian style home, this would be a good choice. Lighter stains go well in cottage designs or more modern homes. It is really a matter of personal taste and style though.
Caring for your wood floor is simply a matter of vacuuming with your vacuum set on low/bare floors or running a slightly damp dust mop over them. Only use wood floor approved cleaners and then not very much. Just a light mist before running the dust mop over it. Place area rugs in higher traffic areas to prevent wear. Use solar paneled curtains to prevent sun rays from fading your floor. Put pads underneath the legs of all furniture to prevent marks on your floors. Mats placed outside and just inside doors can prevent dirt from being tracked onto wood flooring.
It may take a little extra time to clean a wood floor, but it is worth it. With that little bit of extra care, they will last a long time. Their rich appearance gives any home a look of elegance. Get online and visit the website for wood flooring in Waco TX to get an idea of all the different wood flooring and designs available.

Les Miserables
Excerpt from Les Miserables
by Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Misery is the same with anything else. As time passes, it gradually becomes bearable.
Marius had emerged from the narrow passage of his life; now the path widened out a bit. Through sheer hard work, courage, and a strong will, he had managed to earn around seven hundred francs a year. He had learned English and German. Thanks to Courfeyrac, the man who introduced him to his publisher friend, Marius held a position in the literary department of the publishing house, where he filled the useful role of utility. He wrote prospectuses, translated articles from journals, annotated publications, compiled biographies, and so on. His net gain, year in, year out, was seven hundred francs. He was able to survive on this income. How? Not badly. Here is how he lived.
For a yearly rent of thirty francs, Marius lived in a miserable little room without a fireplace in the Gorbeau tenement. There was only a bare minimum of furniture which belonged to him. He paid the old woman who took care of the building a sum three francs a month to sweep his room, and bring him some warm water, a fresh egg, and a small loaf of bread every morning. This egg and bread cost him between two and four cents, because eggs varied in price. At six o'clock in the evening, he went downstairs to eat dinner at Rousseau's in the Rue Saint Jacques. He had no soup, but he ate a plate of meat for six pennies, half a plate of vegetables for three pennies, and a dessert for the same price. As for bread, he could eat as much as he liked for three pennies, but instead of wine, he drank water....

It's time for me to take a break from blogging for a while. I started my day early as I know I have so many things to do. I am glad that I am almost done posting the articles I needed to publish, I have one left though, but I will do it later today. For now, I am getting sleepy so might as well take a nap. Oh well, I do have some paperbacks to read so maybe I end up reading then.
As much as I want to make this blog post longer but I could not as the little one is calling me, already. He wants me to lie beside him. That is what I get for having a sweet little boy and I could not complain. I always get to have a lot of kisses and hugs from him.
So ciao for now guys. Happy blogging!!!

Rice University researchers have built a simulation to show how cancerous tumors manipulate blood-vessel growth for their own benefit.
Like all cells, those in tumors need access to the body's fine network of blood vessels to bring them oxygen and carry away waste. Tumors have learned to game the process called angiogenesis in which new vessels sprout from existing ones, like branches from a tree.
But some details have been hidden until now.
The ability to stop tumors through anti-angiogenesis is one goal of cancer therapy. The new work by scientists at Rice's Center for Theoretical Biological Physics should help researchers quickly test strategies with sophisticated computer models.
New research at Rice University shows how tumors create chaos in the development of neighboring blood vessels, causing them to grow too quickly and not form properly. The notch signaling pathway that controls the fate of cells that form blood vessels can be corrupted, as jagged ligands take control from delta ligands and encourage the creation of tip-stalk hybrid cells that play havoc with growth.

The team led by Rice theoretical physicists José Onuchic and Eshel Ben-Jacob created a detailed model of how proteins involved in angiogenesis communicate with each other and how tumors take charge of the protein signaling chain that controls vessel growth.
A key finding in the work detailed this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that ligands known as "jagged" play a major role in the chaotic vessel growth observed around tumors.
In normal growth, an endothelial cell sprouts from an existing vessel as a tip, while others that follow the tip cell become the stalk cells that ultimately form vessel walls. The cell-to-cell notch signaling pathway directs the endothelial cell's decision to become a tip or stalk.
Notch receptors are proteins that bind with delta ligand or jagged ligand molecules produced by cells. How they interact determines the cell's fate. When notch and delta bind, they prompt a few cells to be tips and adjacent ones to be stalks; how this happens is the subject of an earlier study at Rice.
But the role of jagged ligands has emerged in the new model. Because jagged is overexpressed in the tumor environment, notch-jagged binding overpowers notch-delta and results in a new kind of cell, a tip/stalk hybrid. While such cells can still form new vessels, these vessels rarely mature.
"You get blood vessels that send out many branches, but very few of them are as well-developed as seen during normal angiogenesis," said Mohit Kumar Jolly, a Rice bioengineering graduate student and co-author of the paper.
"High levels of jagged in the environment can trigger the formation of blood vessels that are useful to the tumor: fast-developing, leaky and spread chaotically all over the tumor mass," added lead author Marcelo Boareto, a former visiting scholar at Rice and now a postdoctoral fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich.
"Tumors don't have to wait for the vessels to develop," Onuchic said. "They take advantage of the leakiness of the structure."
The notch-delta pathway has been heavily studied and is the target of many anti-angiogenesis drugs now in use, according to the researchers. "We wondered exactly what notch-jagged signaling does that is not done in notch-delta signaling," Boareto said. "We find that when the cells communicate mostly via jagged, we see a new kind of cell that is not exactly tip and not exactly stalk, but somewhere in between.
"This compromised cell is the major difference between normal and tumor angiogenesis and suggests that if notch-jagged signaling can be somehow suppressed without affecting notch-delta, we can probably disrupt tumor angiogenesis," he said.
Onuchic said most current anti-angiogenesis therapies target notch signaling as a whole. "This has many side effects, and it does not specifically treat the tumor angiogenesis," he said.
He noted the model also takes into account the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that triggers angiogenesis and is overexpressed by tumor cells. "It is very interesting how the tumor hijacks this important mechanism, which is needed for the development of a functional vessel, and amplifies it to generate pathological angiogenesis that leads to uncontrolled growth," he said.
The late Ben-Jacob was an adjunct professor of biosciences at Rice and a senior investigator at the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics. Onuchic is the Harry C. and Olga K. Wiess Chair of Physics and professor of physics and astronomy, of chemistry and biosciences and co-director of the center.
The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, the São Paulo Research Foundation, the Tauber Family Funds and Maguy-Glass Chair in Physics of Complex Systems at Tel Aviv University.

The Burial Ground is the second oldest Jewish cemetery in Massachusetts and was used from 1851 through 1914. It served as a burial site for poor Jewish immigrants with the vast majority being children who died of common childhood diseases such as measles, influenza and whooping cough. Of the 1,439 burials, only 181 were older than 20 years and most were 5 years old and under. Stan Kaplan, the Executive Director of the Jewish Cemetery Association of Massachusetts (JCAM), who oversaw the restoration said there is no cemetery in North America having the number of children in this proportion. Stan spent countless hours at the Malden City Clerk's office poring over death records to retrieve the names and ages of all who are buried in this long forgotten site.
The restoration project also includes a Children's Memorial Garden complete with a memorial called "the Forgotten Children" in honor of those children resting in the unmarked graves. The rod iron entrance gate and walkway is lined with brick markers each inscribed with the name and age of a lost child. Additionally, 150 broken and damaged tombstones were repaired and restored by master craftsmen. Eventually, the hope is to install kiosks in the Burial Ground to display the names and ages of the deceased in the hopes of reconnecting visitors to their ancestors.

Regional manufacturer USG Boral is offering world-class products that can be customised to project requirements – with the cost benefits associated with local production, says ABDULAZIZ KHATTAK.
February 2018
USG Boral, a renowned manufacturer of interior building finishing products, is this year launching a couple of innovations that offer high-performance acoustics, better aesthetics and virtually limitless possibilities in design. The company is also investing millions of dollars into state-of-the-art machinery that will enable it to produce panels of any size and shape for major projects that call for customisation.
With regional production facilities in Dammam (Saudi Arabia), and Salalah (Oman), USG Boral has all local markets within its reach.
The biggest advantage of local production is cost, says Ziad Malek, deputy general manager at USG Boral Building Products. "It greatly impacts the cost of transportation and cuts lead time — crucial to contractors who want to finish work on time," he tells Gulf Construction.
While USG Boral's Salalah plant produces gypsum boards, the company's other product ranges – namely, ceilings, mineral-fibre suspension systems, steel framing and compounds – are manufactured at its Dammam facilities. These products can be applied to interior and exterior partitions and ceilings.
Interior partitions
First on the list here is the Easy Finish system, a new product and a definite game changer, according to Malek.
Partitions used in homes are still mostly concrete; these require plastering, curing time and priming before they can be painted on. USG Boral's Easy Finish system is a customised cement plaster replacement system that can be directly installed on concrete walls using a gypsum board panel with bonding compound, and then painted. All wires and pipes go behind the board, he explains.
Malek says with Easy Finish, large rooms can be done in less than a day. It is very cost-effective as it saves manpower and time. These innovative systems are designed to offer solutions to site finishing application and performance issues that has troubled the installers, contractors, developers and property owners.
The bonding compound will be manufactured in Dammam while the gypsum panels will be locally available from the Salalah plant. In Oman, USG Boral produces its famous brand Sheetrock, a plaster board that comes in three types – regular, moisture-resistant and fire-rated (Type X and Type C). Its entire assembly of Sheetrock Type X and C with steel framing partition are UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certified.
Exterior partitions
In this segment, USG is introducing Securock Glass Mat sheathing for the first time in the Gulf. Produced in the Salalah plant, this reinforced gypsum board with fibreglass facer on both sides is a high-quality, non-combustible, fire- and impact-resistant, mould- and moisture-resistant panel designed for use in properly detailed applications: for exteriors such as soffit and sheathing in cladding, exterior insulation and finishing systems (EIFS) and direct-applied exterior finishing system (DEFS), and interiors in wet areas as tile backer. Although it can be used as a roof board and a water and heat barrier, Securock panels – which comes in thicknesses of 12.7 mm and 15.9 mm - will be introduced here mainly as a wall cladding to replace the fibre cement board.
Malek says that Securock will be used largely in the Gulf in exterior insulation and finishing systems (EIFS), adding that the system has proven itself in use for several years in the US. Finishing of Securock can be done with a base coat and then painted on.
USG is the only manufacturer in the Middle East that offers all types of ceilings – mineral to soft fibre, fibreglass, gypsum, wood tone, and metal – produced at its facilities in Dammam Industrial City 2.
In mineral fibre ceilings, USG Boral is currently focusing on specialty ceiling that combines the aesthetic monolithic look with high-performance properties in terms of acoustics and fire resistance which remains the vital elements of the mineral fibre. USG Boral has successfully increased sound absorption of its systems to reach 80-90 per cent rate. In the soft fibre range, USG Boral ceiling panels are reaching 100 per cent absorption rate with an excellent sound blocking surpassing 40 dB, says Malek.
In line with its current focus on the aesthetic aspect, USG is introducing the concealed edge type ceilings in the mineral fibre and soft tile categories. These will be available from April this year.
Mineral fibre systems find application in various sectors, for example, education, where acoustics is very important; healthcare, where hygiene is important; and retail, where aesthetic is a focus.
Metal ceilings find application primarily in airports, healthcare, and other institutions. USG Boral is currently upgrading its plant capacity and investing in new folding machineries to address the various and unusual sizes and forms required in prestigious projects such as the Riyadh Metro. And while earlier only 60 by 60 cm and 60 by 120 cm sizes were produced, USG Boral has extended its capabilities to provide its clients with a wide range of metal ceilings, says Malek.
He adds the company is acquiring the latest machines from Italy and an investment to the tune of around $3 million is being made in the ceiling business.
In the wood tone range, USG is producing mineral fibre with a wood structure – mainly for aesthetics.
Another product that will be soon launched is USG Boral Ensemble monolithic acoustical ceiling system that offers a seamless drywall look with true acoustical performance.
Malek says that conventional gypsum boards for ceilings have no acoustic properties but with the Ensemble, USG Boral will offer gypsum boards with sound absorbance properties.
USG Boral Sheetrock Ensemble panels are highly engineered to perform like acoustical ceiling panels. The panels are screw-attached to a modified drywall suspension system. The joints are finished using USG Boral Sheetrock joint compound and USG Boral Ensemble spray-applied finish as the final surface. The spray-applied finish is acoustically transparent and allows sound to pass through the perforations where it is absorbed by the USG Boral Ensemble high-NRC (noise reduction coefficient) backer panels and plenum space. All system components are designed to work together so that NRC and CAC (ceiling attenuation class) performance is maximised.
USG Boral systems are tested mainly according to American (ASTM) and European standards (EN) and offer more than 330 UL-certified designs – which is unrivalled in the Middle East, the company says. Malek points out that while many companies provide certification for their products in isolation, USG Boral's systems are tested for the whole assembly. "In other words, the integrity of the system is put to test," he stresses.
The company has supplied several mega projects in the region. It is currently supplying Jeddah Tower and Riyadh Metro in Saudi Arabia, in addition to many upcoming hospitals projects. In Bahrain, it has supplied the recently opened The Avenues mall, especially the cinemas, and the cardiac hospital in Awali. Projects in Kuwait are mostly in the healthcare sector. In Qatar, its systems have been used on the Doha Oasis project.
Malek says the business environment is getting better and Saudi Arabia is expected to witness increased growth in H2 2018. The company, he says, has been receiving many inquiries and has set aside an aggressive budget for 2018.
Malek says the company does not only focus on selling a product but provides technical solutions to the client as well. USG Boral is committed to after-sales and technical support, and has a dedicated department with an expert team to provide technical solutions and services.
USG Boral is aiming to be on the approved vendors list of various official bodies so that local consultants, architects and contractors can easily identify its products and specify them. He points out that while international consultants and architects readily specify USG Boral products, there isn't much awareness about its quality among local firms.

Pacific leaders pay tribute to 'Akilisi Pohiva
Auckland, NEW ZEALAND — Pacific leaders are paying tribute to the late Tongan prime minister, 'Akilisi Pohiva, who died on Thursday.

'A beacon of democracy': RNZ's obituary for Mr Pohiva, who died on Thursday
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Mr Pohiva would be remembered for his lifelong commitment to championing democracy.
He was also a powerful advocate for Pacific regionalism, she said.
The secretary general of the Pacific Islands Forum, Dame Meg Taylor, said Mr Pohiva was a kind and principled man and a compelling advocate for freedom.
On social media other Pacific leaders also paid tribute including Australia's prime minister.
Scott Morrison tweeted that Mr Pohiva was a passionate advocate for his people and the Pacific family.
Solomon Islands Prime Minister, Manasseh Sogavare, said he was always impressed with the depth of experience and the passion with which Mr Pohiva spoke on issues dear to the "Blue Pacific continent", such as climate change, regional security, sustainable development and human rights.
Mr Sogavare described Mr Pohiva as a dear friend, a colleague, a great Pacific leader and an icon for Pacific democracy.
He also paid tribute to Mr Pohiva's stance on human rights issues in West Papua.
The Cook Islands Prime Minister, Henry Puna, said Mr Pohiva was a man who pioneered change and led the movement for democracy in Tonga, with his legacy being that of a champion for change for over 30 years.
The United Liberation Movement for West Papua has also conveyed condolences to the people of Tonga on the passing of Mr Pohiva.
At last month's Pacific Forum leaders summit in Tuvalu, Mr Pohiva urged the region to stand in solidarity with West Papuans in their bid for independence.
The Liberation Movement chair, Benny Wenda, said the Tongan leader would be remembered as one of the Pacific's great statesmen.
Mr Wenda said West Papuans expressed their deepest and most heartfelt respect for the Tongan leader's "brave words and his firm conviction".
Fiji's prime minister Frank Bainimarama tweeted that Mr Pohiva inspired the world with raw emotion at last month's Forum summit in Tuvalu.
Mr Bainimarama said despite poor health, Mr Pohiva attended the summit in recognition of the urgent need for climate action.
He said continuing this fight would honour Mr Pohiva's legacy.
"I mourn the passing of Tongan PM ʻAkilisi Pōhiva, who inspired the world with raw emotion at last month's Pacific Islands Forum in Tuvalu (which, despite his health, he attended in recognition of the urgency of climate action).

Cabinet to discuss funeral arrangements
Tonga's cabinet was to meet today to discuss arrangements for the funeral of 'Akilisi Pohiva.
The cabinet meeting will be led by Mr Pohiva's deputy, Semisi Sika, who has taken over as acting prime minister.
A government spokesperson said they'll discuss issues including when Mr Pohiva's body will return to Tonga and how the government will function in his absence.
They will also begin planning for Mr Pohiva's state funeral.
Tonga's parliament was indefinitely adjourned after Mr Pohiva's death yesterday morning.
