Indoor Cycling
Reliable. Durable. Quieter Than Ever Before. When it comes to indoor bike trainers, the most frequently asked question is: how quiet is it? Taking this to heart, our Madison, Wisconsin-based team put this query under the microscope and set a goal to build a trainer so quiet, that the only sound is that of your drive train. The result? A direct drive smart trainer that touts a sound specification of 59 decibels at 20 mph. In other words, the H3 is five times quieter than previous generations, making it the quietest smart trainer to ever leave our doors. Following the Saris direct drive smart trainer legacy, the H3 features the same reliably and durability as its predecessors.

For return of ano4.000 a.C, some primitive communities had learned to use tools and weapons of bronze. The population is each more numerous time, the commerce goes if expanding. The agriculturists produce foods large-scale. The great progress marked the end of daily pay-history. The men start then to make constructions as I can cite the pyramid of Egypt and the temples, number it concrete were not nothing practical. As to effect necessary fast calculations with rocks, bones. He was from the necessity that Egypt started to represent the amount of objects of a collection through drawings, symbols.
The creation of the symbols was an important landmark for the development of the mathematics. In daily pay-history, the man joined three batons with five batons to get eight batons. When we face situations where we want to know ' ' quantos' ' , our first attitude is to count. But the men that had lived have thousand of years did not know the numbers nor knew to count. Then as they had appeared numbers? To answer to this question we need to have an idea of as these men lived and which were its necessities. At that time, the man, to feed itself, hunted, fished and harvested fruits; to live, he used caves; to defend itself, he used woods and rocks. But this way of life was if modifying little by little. Educate yourself even more with thoughts from Janet L. Yellen. For example: to find enough food for all the members of a group was if becoming each more difficult time the measure that the population increased and the hunting it went if becoming rarer.
The man started to look safer and more efficient forms to take care of to its necessities. He was then that it started to cultivate plants and to create animals, appearing agriculture and the pasturing, has about 10.000 years behind. The shepherds of sheep had necessities to control the flocks.

First tests
Fujifilm instax SQ10 £250
Combining a digital sensor with the ability to print instant pictures in one small camera body, is the new instax SQ10 bridging the gap between analogue and digital, and just how well does this little hybrid perform? Since the first production of the Fujifilm instax 100 in the late 1990s, this easy to use, fun-loving format has gone from strength to strength, offering users the ability to enjoy instant pictureswithout the artistic headache of real analogue photography. The new SQ10 hybrid camera takes its place as the 20th camera produced by instax – not including the two instax printers – and comes with two firsts for the brand; the ability to shoot digitally, edit in-camera and print when you choose, and a brand new square film format. With a screen size of 62x62mm, the new Instagram-worthy film provides perfect 1:1 dimensions, but what's the camera like to shoot with? As well as having digital experience, I was brought up on 35mm, and have since dabbled with a medium- format Lomography, and got to grips with Polaroid, using the SX70 Land camera, and so I was keen to put this new toy to the test. The SQ10 has a more sophisticated design compared with its cuter predecessors, with a shaved metal on/off ring to the front, and is available only in black. Two buttons to the front can be set to either shoot, or as a shortcut to change shootingmode, which is great for lefties! Turn it around and you'll find six dedicated buttons around a dial, with a menu/OK button to its centre. At the top are easy-to-access filters, with ten to choose from and here you can fine-tune saturation and tone. Next up is a brightness – or exposure compensation button – which allows you adjustment with 19 levels. There's also a vignette mode where the peripheral light can be altered between 19 levels. Other buttons include playback, and print. As you'd expect from instax, the menu is pretty basic but there is the
Prices £250, instax film 10 shots, £14.99 Sensor 1/4-in, CMOS with primary colour filter ISO range ISO 100 to 1600 (Auto) Shutter range 1/29500 sec to 1/2 sec (Auto), maximum 10sec in Bulb mode Metering system 256-segment through the lens (TTL) metering, multi metering Exposure modes Program AE Monitor 3in TFT colour LCD monitor, approx. 460k dots Focus Single AF, contrast-detect TTL, equipped with AF illuminator Storage media Built-in memory approx. 50 files, microSD/microSDHC memory card Dimensions (wxdxh) 119x47x127mm Weight 450g including film and battery Contact instax.co.uk
Once the image has been taken, the software allows you to go back and edit as many times as you like
addition of bulb and double exposure modes. Flash can also be adjusted, as low-light handheld isn't the most effective. There's also a self-timer mode of two and ten seconds and an AF illuminator function. The square film comes in packs of ten shots, which is easy to load into the camera back. Importantly, a switch to the side offers auto and manual shooting. Not to be confused with focus or lens control, this switch actually determines whether an instant print is created straight after pressing the shutter button (as on previous instax models) on automode, or by choosing manual, you're able to snap away without printing, instead choosing to browse and print later. For me this is one of the biggest plus points of the SQ10. A little like the benefit of having a Kindle when you want to take loads of books on holiday but can't fit everything in your hand luggage, the SQ10 allows the trigger- happy photographer to shoot all day (and night) thanks to a decent battery life of around 160 shots, without worryingaboutwastinganyprecious film – prints work out at around £1.50 a picture. You can store up to 50 images internally, andmore when using a Micro SD card. But like the Kindle, this does come at the sacrifice of that tangible medium; real books, real film and one-off shots. But for those who want to enjoy all the fun of instant pictures, and also take ultimate control, the SQ10
ticks many boxes. The filters suit the rich, vibrant colour reproduction of the film, giving punchy, satisfying results. When shooting, you can either apply filters, vignette and brightness control before pressing the shutter – viewing the scene on the 3in rearmonitor – or shoot onnormal mode and apply whatever you wish post-shutter release. Once the image has been taken, the software allows you to go back and edit as many times as you like. On screen the pictures look great, and printed even better, appearing fully thanks to instax magic within just a few minutes; but what about the files? The SQ10 isn't about to win any digital camera awards, and should be treatedas thehybrid it is.Witha0.25- in sensor, that's about half the size of the dinky sensor used in the iPhone 7 and when you download your shots from Micro SD card, the pixel count is just 1920x1920, offering up files around 850KB. While they would be fine for Instagram, the edits are not saved onto the card however, leaving you with flat digital files which had me reminiscing about my first two- megapixel camera phone (in a bad way), but having to upload viaMicro SD adaptor to a computer is a less- than-instant method, which brings me to my biggest question mark on this curvy camera, and where some may sit on the fence. No inclusion of Wi-Fi. To ultimately bridge the gap
betweenanalogue anddigital, I'd like to see the SQ10 offering the ability to shoot and share as instantly as you can print, by using the excellent Wi-Fi functionality available with the SP-Share printers, and select Fujifilm X-series cameras. However, this could ultimately take away from the purpose of the camera, which prides itself on prints first, and with a noted firmware update option in the menu system, there's nothing to say this won't be introduced at a later date. DD
Images The instax SQ10 lets you enjoy digital capture with the option of instant print output of your favourite pictures.
The instax SQ10 is one of the most interesting photo gadgets to launch this year, and certainly unique in what it offers. What it lacks in Wi-Fi functionality, it more than makes up for in beautifully vibrant, colourful instant prints. Plus, with the introduction of Bulb and double exposure modes, the camera makes it all the more fun to play with and perfect, thanks to the pressure being taken off printing. If you love instax, but crave more control, this camera won't disappoint.
Pros Lots of shooting capacity, filters, fun, instant prints when needed Cons Wi-Fi would be nice, small files

Team Fusion Cycles team member, Anna Peterson, is an up and coming age-group triathlete who started in the sport of triathlon at the age of just 9 years old. After her first race she was hooked. Anna competed in approximately ten triathlons last summer, as well as a few running and cycling races.
So far this season, Anna placed well in all of the races she's entered:
4/26/14 Cannon Falls Duathlon - 1st place 19 & Under
5/18/14 Esprit de She Duathlon - 1st place 19 & Under
6/21/14 Graniteman Triathlon - 4th place 19 & Under
7/12/14 Lifteime Minneapolis Triathlon - 3rd Junior Inviational
7/19/14 Rosemount Run for the Gold 4 mile run - 5th place 15-19 yr olds
7/27/14 Chisago Lakes Triathlon - 3rd place 15-19 yr olds
Anna had this to say about how the EnduroPacks products have helped with her training and recovery.
"Before I took EnduroPacks, I was always tired, didn't want to workout and was at a low point. Since taking EnduroPacks it's boosted my mood and helped me get over that hump in the morning...the amino acid patches have really helped me recover quickly and prepare me for my second workout of the day...before I couldn't do a second workout but now I can!"
Watch Anna's review here on her YouTube channel:
Remember the "Food Pyramid"? It was the triangular guide from the USDA with levels or sections of food groups and suggested amounts of daily servings for each. For 19 years, health practitioners, teachers, parents and others used this as a guide to teach and ensure healthy eating. Even athletes were known to follow these guidelines.
Dehydration Results In Lower Blood Pressure And Slows Bodily Processes. Active individuals should be aware of the acute effects of dehydration on performance. With just a 2% loss of water in the body, heat regulation becomes impacted. With a 3% drop in body weight from water loss, muscle cell contraction is impacted. And at 4% loss, there is 5-10% reduction in overall performance that can last up to 4 hours.

The pressure to plant fields in a timely fashion frequently results in delayed application of preemergence herbicides due to rain or windy conditions. This situation isn't as troublesome as it would have been in the past due to the availability of effective postemergence herbicides; however, establishment of weeds with the crop can result in yield loss early in the season if not managed properly.

Although that makes your title rather confusing
hey Justin, thanks for the feedback.
I don't think the title is confusing, I advocate stopping referring to User Stories as first-class entities in the Requirements Domain when they are just descriptive devices, so 'enough with the user stories' captures this sentiment :)
As to your first point, readers shouldn't be BAs or POs in order to understand the difference between Requirements and Specifications, or to know what a domain model is, or to grok the difference between an entity and an attribute. I dare think that most developers in this day and age are involved throughout the project lifecycle, so managing requirements is IMO an essential skill.
When you say "Enough with the user stories" it sounds like you're saying we should get rid of them completely, so it seems like a pretty confusing title to me, too.
And who ever said User Stories were "first-class entities in the Requirements Domain", anyway? I've only ever understood or used them as tools to help communicate requirements. Business people (often subject matter experts, and not real BAs) put a lot of emphasis on them, because those are usually the only artifacts they understand.
Hi Paul and thanks for responding
And who ever said User Stories were "first-class entities in the Requirements Domain", anyway?
Whenever we talk about creating, reading and delivering user stories we are implicitly accepting them as first-class entities in the Requirements Domain, instead of just descriptors.
I've only ever understood or used them as tools to help communicate requirements
That they are. But they are also used to communicate specifications, business goals, capabilities and technical tasks. So let's start referring to these entities instead of their associated user stories.

Self-sustaining grazing block and finishing farm goes up for sale
Tags: Rural
A Northland cattle finishing farm and run-off grazing block - complete with its own self-sustaining animal watering network and forestry block - has been placed on the market for sale.
The 63-hectare property located in Waiotira just south-west of Whangarei consists of easy to rolling-contour grazing paddocks bordered by 18 hectares of 18 – 27-year old tree plantings consisting of Pinus radiata and Cypress. In addition, approximately 5000 poplar trees are planted along fence lines and gullies to provide shelter and shade for animals.
The farm's grazing platform of perennial ryegrass consists of some 45 hectares of pasture, which are divided into 28 well-fenced paddocks. A series of earth dams supply water to all water troughs throughout the farm by gravity using the natural elevation on the land.
Grass carp were introduced to the dams in 2004 to control aquatic weed growth for maximum water collection efficiency, although it is unknown how well they have established. The average annual rainfall of the area is around 1500mm.
The property is located at 945 Waiotira Road in Waiotira just south-west of Whangarei and is now being marketed for sale by auction at 1pm on July 6 through Bayleys Whangarei. Rural specialist Vinni Bhula said the property presently stocked between 75 - 80 cattle – either for finishing or in a run-off capacity.
"The grazing infrastructure - including the fencing, yards, and water supply - is in great condition, and the property is easily accessed by either four-wheel drive vehicles, tractor or quad bike.
"The property has traditionally been operated from a lifestyle business perspective for almost three decades with a large focus on sustainability and soil health. In its current format, the farm has been run at conservative stocking levels to ensure pasture and soil integrity.
Building Infrastructure on the farm consists of:
• A north facing three-bedroom homestead with a substantial adjacent orchard and greenhouse complex producing apples, plums, lemons, oranges, satsuma mandarins, bananas, figs, peaches, persimmons, feijoas, guava and grapefruit
• A recently-re-roofed two-stand woolshed with wool baler and shearing equipment and
• A half-round hay barn and a small workshop.
Mr Bhula said a nearby niche wood processing mill could eventually be supplied with the poplar timber given the specialist equipment required to process it, so any new owner of the property could realise a substantial return from the eventual sale of the wood asset.
Soil types on the property consist of predominantly of Waiotira clay and Waiotira clay loam.

Latvia became the 18th member of the Eurozone at the beginning of 2014 and only the fourth post-communistic country to do so. Despite the difficult period of the last four years and the bailouts of Greece, Portugal, or Cyprus, the Euro project seems to be a successful exercise for most Eurozone members, based on the key macroeconomic numbers at least.
Since 1999 when most Eurozone members entered the common currency, the GDP per capita in the Eurozone-economies has increased by 62-95% in USD-terms. That is more than in the USA (53%), UK (51%), or Japan (16%). In addition, the indebtedness of most Eurozone members (measured by their public debt to GDP) have increased less than those of the USA, Japan and UK.
Whatever criticism the common currency creates (rightly or not), the overall numbers do not look that bad.
When looking at the project of the European Union as such, the numbers look even more impressive for the new entrants. The countries, which entered the EU in 2004 have increased their GDP per capita by 52-186% in between 2003-2013 in USD terms, based on the IMF estimates. That is a growth twice as much faster than the average in the EU

KLAQ's Lisa Sanchez recently conducted an interview with the four members of PAPA ROACH. You can now watch the chat below.
When asked why they think the "nu metal" genre — which PAPA ROACH got lumped into in the late 1990s — got such a bad rap from fans and music critics alike, PAPA ROACH frontman Jacoby Shaddix said: "A lot of people didn't like [LIMP BIZKIT frontman] Fred Durst — really and truly. That was real bad. and everybody was hating on him. And he was kind of, like, 'Why do you wanna hate me?' And so, he was kind of the poster boy for the genre, and so if people wanted to take pot shots at it, it was easy. But I got nothing but love and respect for him. And for us, it's, like, at the time, we were the bands that were just selling millions of records, and when you're selling millions of records, people wanna… When you're on the top, everybody wants to throw rocks. You know what I'm saying? So, kick rocks, punk!"
Shaddix, however, made it clear that PAPA ROACH would never attempt to rehash its earlier sound in an attempt to recapture the band's past glories.
"For me, P-ROACH, it's always about progression and evolution," he explained. "So we're not trying to bring back the old days at all, but we definitely went back and, I guess, brought some of the old-school elements into the music, but without trying to just go, 'All right. Now we're old school again.' 'Cause we've gotta maintain a progressive vibe. But there are some rad bands that were influenced by the nu metal genre back in the day, like BRING ME THE HORIZON, OF MICE & MEN… I mean, countless other bands."
PAPA ROACH's ninth studio album, "Crooked Teeth", was released on May 19 via Eleven Seven Music. The disc was made available digitally and physically, as a standard (10 tracks) and deluxe (10 tracks + 3 brand new tracks + 16 Live tracks Live at the Fillmore Detroit) editions.
Written and recorded in a cramped North Hollywood studio, "Crooked Teeth" was produced by first timers Nicholas "RAS" Furlong and Colin Brittain, with the exception of "Born For Greatness", which saw the band collaborate with writer/producer Jason Evigan (Jason Derulo, Demi Lovato, Zedd, MAROON 5) for this positive, pulsating anthem. Furlong and Brittain, who grew up listening to PAPA ROACH, inspired the band to revisit some of the traits that personally endeared the band to them, most notably Shaddix's remarkable rapping technique and the band's intense live energy.

Axa rebrands and launches campaign to highlight the company's trustworthiness
Axa UK has overhauled its brand and marketing, scrapping its "Be life confident" strapline in favour of "Redefining standards", as it seeks to focus on the company's trustworthiness at a time of consumer cynicism.
The revamp is the first major initiative under group marketing director Olivier Mariée, who joined two years ago. It will be backed by a two-month £4m advert-ising campaign and is part of its long-term aim to be the UK's most trusted financial services company, coupled with high customer services.
Mariée says the strategy is "risky", particularly for a financial services company, but adds: "There was a very strong commitment from the group and the UK team that we want to tackle this [industry] mistrust. We wanted to act and do something."
He adds that spending money at a time when its rivals are cutting back on ad spend will make its message resonate more.
The TV executions feature a "manifesto" brand spot, as well as promoting two specific insurance and healthcare products. Each execution features a red line, or "switch" – the red slash appearing in the Axa logo, signalling a move to "draw a line under the past".
The campaign, which will also encompass outdoor and digital, has been created by Saatchi & Saatchi, with media planning and buying through MindShare. It involves a heavyweight campaign in London, including dominating ad spots across the Central Line. Digital will include online homepage takeovers on MSN and AOL.
It is the first work from Saatchi & Saatchi since winning the business earlier this year (MW.co.uk May 28).

The District Auditor has revealed he is investigating allegations of illegal payments being made by Sheffield City Council to an organisation that has close links to senior officers at the authority. The organisation at the heart of the investigation was today named as Common Purpose
District Auditor John Prentice acted after a member of the public claimed payments had been made to Common Purpose that were illegal. Mr Prentice has refused to sign-off the accounts until his investigation is complete.
Common Purpose is a national not-for-profit organisation that runs "leadership development courses" which have been attended by officers from the city council and other parts of both the public and private sectors in South Yorkshire. It is understood up until recently Common Purpose had its own office within the council.
A spokesman for the Audit Commission said: "The District Auditor has received an objection to the accounts relating to payments made to Common Purpose and is still looking into it. Therefore, we can't say anything further at present."
Ridding yourself of people you don't want:
I had to work hard with the local education authority (LEA) to remove these governors and to start again in relation to the new vision of the school, which is that 'Firth Park is Fantastic' and it is our job to enable students to believe in themselves, their potential and to aim high with confidence and determination.
Through Common Purpose I met some inspirational leaders, and we were able to recruit three governors via the programme. I continue to have strong links with the 1996/97 participants at a local and national level. This was, perhaps, the best professional training programme I have ever been involved in.
The mindset of those who take over:
Yesterday, I offended half the readership with comments about "left-liberals". Perhaps these terms are changing, emotively charged and misleading because now there is a new type and hard to define – a common purpose type, not at all concerned with injustice overseas, which at least is where the left-liberals could be found.
This type is into gaining power, holding on to it and converting everyone else to the mindset, via neuro-linguistic programming, among other things. And as can be seen in the two examples above, it is spreading like a cancer throughout the UK and overseas as well. It's not remaining up in the elite areas but is permeating down into even headteachers.
If it doesn't directly result in, then it is attended by, unethical behaviour which would not have been put up with two decades ago. A further example is that very school, Firth Park and what might seem a minor quibble by some wowsers but when you put it together with the other material, it raises eyebrows:
Mo Laycock Applauds Blasphemy and Swearing at Firth Park College Student Night.
Tonight was the chance for parents to pay and watch the Performing Arts College 'Student Showcase'. This contained lots of singing,dancing and comedy routines by pupils of various ages, and the obligatory African drumming spot. Nothing wrong there.
But what about all the 'Jesus Christ' and used in one of the acting routines. Not to mention the kids on stage effing and bstrding it! But it's ok though because the audience was warned before the show, (3 and a half hours long!) that there was some 'bad' language.
Although I had a Christian up-bringing I do not practice this. But this sure as heck felt uncomfortable especially with a mixed audience with a few grans and granddads in. And the Head of the School, Mrs Mo Laycock, stood and applauded at the end.
And although most kids swear in the school yard I don't see it as the right time nor place to be using the offensive language in front of a family audience with young children and grandparents. And the Head of the school applauded it!
I went through all the other comments on the forum – there were the predictable "kids swear these days – get a life" type but even though this man [I presume it was] was obviously conservative though not specifically religious, others also backed him up, that is – those who had attended the performance and were less than impressed.
Now, as you know, I'm a former head of a lower school and one thing absolutely certain is that that person has to be whiter than white because one is trying to attract and maintain pupils [independent school system]. One does not condone swearing, particularly of the "effing and bstrding" type, as the man put it.
So, in Mo Laycock considering this was all well and fine, what does that say about the erosion of her own values or rather the replacement of the traditionally accepted code of conduct with a focus on other things? As a Common Purpose appointee, her focus is clearly on the … well … common ideological purpose … and pesky things such as manners and ethics, teaching the children respect and so on do not compute in her brain.
There are key false constructs being pushed in schools – that homosexuality is great and to stand in the way of this 6% of the community will have the law down on you, that equality means women are better and should have the jobs [as Harman and Featherstone say], that diversity means you ignore the plight of your own people, that Elfansafetee means you don't play with footballs any more or conkers and you must keep to designated areas and have every personal detail of your life on record and so on.
This is where the focus is and rubbish like manners and respect do not come into it. No one's Christian these days either, so it's fine to use the name as a swear word – it's not on the godlike word list [in the previous paragraph] and more importantly, it's only going to offend the already marginalized – the fuddy duddies who have no place in the brave new society Common Purpose is forging with the kids.
Lord help us – the yahoos are in the Reichstag and running riot. Gather your family and belongings and run for the hills!
Other organizations entering the field, e.g. Optimus Seventh Generation who state these things without the slightest hint of shame:
* Getting beneath people's beliefs – shifting limiting beliefs using language patterns, sleight of mouth and reframing
Seriously – just look at that first one – getting beneath what people believe and reframing it, according to Common Purpose principles. Oh my goodness.
* We use a variety of coaching models, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) for communication and change techniques, and a humanistic approach to change. Our delegates often comment that they find this course 'life changing', as personal development goes deep and opens a whole new perspective on self and interactions with others.
* There can be significant and massive change as a result of getting a workforce or diverse group of organisations focused on a common purpose. John F Kennedy's statement in the 1960's* provided just such a common purpose – "By the end of the decade, we'll have a man on the moon". Tapping into common motivations is the key to getting the result you want.
Check their who we are section – always a guide to the transparency of the organization:
Optimus was formed in the UK in October 2003 by a small group of people who are passionate about making a difference. Because we care. Between us we had expertise in oil & gas, HSE and behavioural change.
[* Note the grammatical error.] So – nothing about the specific people behind them except a photopage and bland statement of vision.
It's pretty clear, isn't it, what's going on and why we're getting the outcomes we are, why all the incompetence in things which actually matter, why there is no respect and the natural order is being forcefully turned on its head, why the judges let the criminals off and prosecute the ordinary citizen, why a brave new world is truly being created before our very eyes and why some of us see it but others don't.
One commenter mentioned my "world view". It's not a relativistic world view. It's not a "view" at all. It's a commentary on what is actually happening. That man did take over that school and kick out those governors, did appoint that head teacher who did act the way she did, CP graduates really are advising councils and so on.
This is not my "world view". It's happening and the other "world view" which ignores what is happening is, I'm afraid, either quite blinkered, does not wish to face up to it or else has its own agenda. I mean, at some stage, at least some of the things happening must have seeped through – so what gives?
That's where we are.

E-GEOD-63576 - Somatosensory Neuron Types Identified by High-Coverage Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing and Functional Heterogeneity
Released on 10 December 2015, last updated on 20 December 2015
Mus musculus
Samples (209)
Protocols (3)
Sensory neurons are distinguished by distinct signaling networks and receptive characteristics. Thus, sensory neuron types can be defined by linking transcriptome-based neuron typing with the sensory phenotypes. Here we classify somatosensory neurons of the mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) by high-coverage single-cell RNA-sequencing (10 950 ± 1 218 genes per neuron) and neuron size-based hierarchical clustering. Moreover, single DRG neurons responding to cutaneous stimuli are recorded using an in vivo whole-cell patch clamp technique and classified by neuron-type genetic markers. Small diameter DRG neurons are classified into one type of low-threshold mechanoreceptor and five types of mechanoheat nociceptors (MHNs). Each of the MHN types is further categorized into two subtypes. Large DRG neurons are categorized into four types, including neurexophilin 1-expressing MHNs and mechanical nociceptors (MNs) expressing BAI1-associated protein 2-like 1 (Baiap2l1). Mechanoreceptors expressing trafficking protein particle complex 3-like and Baiap2l1-marked MNs are subdivided into two subtypes each. These results provide a new system for cataloging somatosensory neurons and their transcriptome databases. RNA-seq of mRNA levels in 197 individual DRG neurons We performed RNA-seq on total 203 individual DRG neurons. Six of them were not qualified and thus, were excluded for further analysis. To evaluate the quality of RNA-seq, we randomly devided No.72 neurons into two parts and performed RNA-seq seperately. Thus, we had 204 individual samples from 203 individual DRG and 198 individual qualified samples from 197 individual DRG. To evaluate the homogeneity of RNA-seq data from different mice at the same age just as used, we performed RNA-seq on 5 single DRG from different mice. Here, these data from DRG were also considered as experimental control. The 'DRG_neurons_RNA_Seq.txt' contains processed data for 204 samples and 'DRG_RNA_Seq.txt' for 5 samples.

Rep. Devin Nunes, the head of the House Intelligence Committee, announced Thursday morning that he will step aside from the committee's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Nunes blamed the move on "leftwing activist groups" that filed complaints with the Office of Congressional Ethics and maintained that accusations of bias are "entirely false and politically motivated," but said he chose to temporarily step away.
"Several leftwing activist groups have filed accusations against me with the Office of Congressional Ethics," Nunes said in the statement. "The charges are entirely false and politically motivated, and are being leveled just as the American people are beginning to learn the truth about the improper unmasking of the identities of US citizens and other abuses of power."
"Despite the baselessness of the charges, I believe it is in the best interests of the House Intelligence Committee and the Congress for me to have Representative Mike Conaway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, temporarily take charge of the Committee's Russia investigation while the House Ethics Committee looks into this matter."

Nostalgia is very much so a theme in pop culture today - it is rampant, it is everywhere and it is what people are rediscovering. A few years ago, it was almost laughable to listen to disco and yet, it is disco itself that is making waves in the industry today. Australian duo Groove City is bringing back delicious late 70's/early 80's disco funk-inspired production with the release of their newest single "Gold Chevrolet", after signing with new booking agency Maker Agency.
True to disco, "Gold Chevrolet" is a high-octane, immensely groovy production reminiscent of the the 70's and 80's. The intoxicating tune is a sorely-needed dose of unadulterated funk that immediately gets stuck in your head - but in a good way. The duo's deep, soulful voices drive the song forward into a fun, mesmerizing collection of twangy beats and guitar-driven energy. "Gold Chevrolet is a vintage summer anthem," share Groove City, "About a charismatic, smart and classy lady who doesn't take shit from anyone, gets what she wants and drives a Gold Chevrolet - for no reason other than the drive itself. Men want to be with her, women want to be her, but all she wants to do is ride into the sunset." From the beginning to the end, "Gold Chevrolet" is a delightful listening experience that truly encapsulates the disco we long for.
Groove City have begun their tour Australia / New Zealand tour as of September 6th.

There was a news story on yahoo about adult picky eaters. Seems some people never out-grow the childhood eating habits of trying to live off just a few comfort foods like mac & cheese, peanut butter sandwiches, spaghetti & meatballs or potato in some form.
There are other picky eaters who will ONLY eat health food; which can cause them to not eat enough. Lets face it, unless you buy only from the fresh produce section there isn't much left in the grocery store thats 100% safe/healthy anymore.
Now I have called myself a "picky-eater" for years, but my eating doesn't go to either of those extremes. Sure I can go a week or so with the same breakfast everyday:
instant oatmeal with chocolate protein powder & peanut butter added in. I also like to snack on popcorn alot…and by alot, I mean I have popcorn about every other day.
Sure there are foods that I hate and won't eat at all; but not because of its health value, its because I just don't like the taste of liver, pepperoni & brussel sprouts. I also don't drink regular milk…I prefer vanilla soymilk. Yes, my soymilk makes me a little wierd with some of my co-workers and whenever I get a veggie pizza someone will always look at me funny & ask if I am on a diet. First off: if I was all that worried about my weight I would not order any pizza to begin with…and for a second reason-I hate the taste of pepperoni.
But all-in-all, I'm not worried about getting an eating disorder. Unless they come up with a story about people who eat when they are bored. Because thats when I do my most eating. Supposedly we are only supposed to eat when we are really hungry…well if I did that I would starve. I eat when I am bored enough so that I never really get that hungry feeling.

A sensory brain map for each behavior?
Edited by Masakazu Konishi, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, and approved November 3, 1997 (received for review September 9, 1997)
Multiple brain maps are commonly found in virtually every vertebrate sensory system. Although their functional significance is generally relatively little understood, they seem to specialize in processing distinct sensory parameters. Nevertheless, to yield the stimulus features that ultimately elicit the adaptive behavior, it appears that information streams have to be combined across maps. Results from current lesion experiments in the electrosensory system, however, suggest an alternative possibility. Inactivations of different maps of the first-order electrosensory nucleus in electric fish, the electrosensory lateral line lobe, resulted in markedly different behavioral deficits. The centromedial map is both necessary and sufficient for a particular electrolocation behavior, the jamming avoidance response, whereas it does not affect the communicative response to external electric signals. Conversely, the lateral map does not affect the jamming avoidance response but is necessary and sufficient to evoke communication behavior. Because the premotor pathways controlling the two behaviors in these fish appear to be separated as well, this system illustrates that sensory–motor control of different behaviors can occur in strictly segregated channels from the sensory input of the brain all through to its motor output. This might reflect an early evolutionary stage where multiplication of brain maps can satisfy the demand on processing a wider range of sensory signals ensuing from an enlarged behavioral repertoire, and bridging across maps is not yet required.
Segregated processing of both sensory and motor functions occurs extensively within the central nervous system. The separate processing streams are often channeled in multiple brain maps, each composed of populations of neurons with different physiological characteristics (1–5). However, at some points in the sensory–motor command chain, information processing spans across maps to yield the coherent percepts needed to recognize particular higher-order stimulus features or organize the multitude of motor components into an adaptive behavior (4–9). The 32 visual areas in macaques, for instance, are interconnected by more than 300 cortico-cortical pathways (6), and the up to 50 nuclei of the mammalian auditory brainstem are linked by a countless number of converging, diverging, and commissural connections (3). What is the functional and behavioral significance of these multiple sensory brain maps? In the visual system of cats and primates, for instance, three separate processing streams extend from the retina up to the cortex, each carrying different behaviorally low-level stimulus variables, such as different spatial and temporal frequency contents of stimuli (4, 6). In another prominent example, the two auditory subsystems in owls process sound intensity and phase information independently (7, 8). In each of these cases, however, the initial segregation of information processing is abandoned and information streams converge at higher-order levels in the brain yielding the computation of specific and behaviorally relevant stimulus features (3–9). This "distributed hierarchical" organization of sensory systems in higher vertebrates is inherently linked to the combinatorial nature of most complex sensory features extracted by these systems. But is this a general organizational principle that applies to all sensory systems?
The existence of very obvious multiple sensory maps with identical receptor inputs and mirror image boundaries in the first-order nucleus of the electrosensory system of gymnotiform fish, the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL), has always been a mystery, in particular, because all maps display the same cytoarchitecture and only show apparent differences in their overall size and the relative abundance of one cell type (9, 10). For electrolocation and communication purposes, these fish monitor the electric field that is produced by discharges of an electric organ with electroreceptors that are distributed over the body surface. Two distinct types of electroreceptors exist: low-frequency ampullary and high-frequency tuberous receptors (11). All electroreceptor afferents terminate in a somatotopic manner in the ELL of the hindbrain, where the rostral ELL represents the fish's head region. The ELL consists of four mediolaterally adjacent segments: The medial segment receives input from ampullary afferent axons, whereas tuberous primary afferents trifurcate and each collateral innervates the three remaining segments, the centromedial (CMS), centrolateral (CLS), and lateral segment (LS) (9–11). No intermap connections have been found (12). Despite the lack of qualitative differences between the three tuberous maps, previous investigations yielded some quantitative differences in their physiological and immunohistochemical properties (13–15). Their behavioral significance, however, remained unclear.
Each segment of the ELL is highly laminated. The somata of large pyramidal cells are situated in a central layer. Pyramidal cells are the target of tuberous electroreceptor afferents. They have been shown to extract behaviorally relevant temporal features of modulations in electric field amplitude (16, 17). Pyramidal cells transmit this information to higher-order levels of the electrosensory system, particularly to the Torus semicircularis dorsalis in the midbrain, which is homologous to the inferior colliculus. Dorsal to the ELL pyramidal cell layer is the molecular layer that contains the large apical dendrites of pyramidal cells and is the site where extensive feedback through descending recurrent loops occurs (9, 10). Both N-methyl-d-aspartate and Kainic acid receptors are present in the molecular layer, and mainly N-methyl-d-aspartate-type receptors are present in the pyramidal cell layer of all four ELL segments (18, 19).
To determine their behavioral significance, we selectively lesioned each of the three tuberous ELL segments and monitored the neuronal activity at the injection site and the effects on two distinct behaviors of gymnotiform electric fish. Both sister groups (20), the knife fish Eigenmannia virescens and the brown ghost fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus, produce continuous nearly sinusoidal electric organ discharges (EODs) and the electrosensory pathways in these two taxa appear to be virtually identical (9). Eigenmannia very reliably lowers its own EOD frequency in response to a jamming signal of slightly higher frequency and raises its EOD frequency in response to a signal of slightly lower frequency. This jamming avoidance response (JAR; ref. 21), can provide a separation of EOD frequencies among neighboring fish that is required for accurate electrolocation of objects (9). Conversely, the JAR in Apteronotus is weaker and habituates quickly, and the fish can increase its frequency only in response to jamming signals (21). These differences in the behavioral patterns of the two fish appear to be based on differences in the premotor and not the electrosensory circuitry (22). During courtship and aggression, on the other hand, gymnotiform electric fish modulate their EODs, producing characteristic chirp-like signals. In Apteronotus (but rarely in Eigenmannia), chirping can be readily evoked experimentally by presenting an artificial electric signal of slightly different frequency from and with comparable amplitude as the fish's own EOD (23, 24).
Twenty-two specimens of Eigenmannia virescens and 10 Apteronotus leptorhynchus were used. All experiments were approved by the University of California Animal Care Committee and are in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines for experiments involving vertebrate animals. Fish were immobilized (1–2 μl of Flaxedil intramuscular, 2% for Eigenmannia and 20% for Apteronotus) and placed in a multicompartment chamber where up to four different body surface areas of the fish could be exposed separately to external signals. This was necessary because the high degree of convergence in the electrosensory system makes it highly resistant to physical trauma (9): when the whole body surface is exposed to external electric signals, the JAR, for instance, survives the loss of even very extensive lesions of the ELL. Hence, to minimize the consequences of convergent receptor input to the ELL, we limited the amount of body surface that was exposed to external electric signals. The electrical isolation between adjacent compartments was about 40 dB (25). A sinusoidal EOD replacement signal was delivered to each compartment through a pin electrode inserted in the dorsal musculature and an electrode at the bottom of the compartment. A sinusoidal external signal was presented through electrodes straddling the fish in each compartment. The two stimuli to each compartment could be individually delivered or removed by means of a switch board located outside the chamber. To elicit a JAR in Eigenmannia, the external signal was presented at frequencies alternating between 2 and 6 Hz above and below that of the EOD replacement, respectively, and delivered either in all compartments or only in two or three trunk compartments (compartments 3 and 4 or 2 to 4), excluding the head compartment. The relative amplitude ratio between jamming signal and EOD replacement signal was varied between 0.01 and 0.03. All stimulus parameters were always adjusted for maximum JAR performance.
To evoke chirping in Apteronotus, we delivered the external stimulus in the caudal compartments (compartments 2–4) at a fixed frequency 5 to 15 Hz above the fish's own EOD frequency and with an amplitude of 1–2 mV/cm (23, 24). The stimulus was turned on only for a short period of time (1–3 s) at 1- to 2-min intervals to avoid habituation. Because Apteronotus has no myogenic but an electrogenic electric organ, its EOD is not attenuated in immobilized specimens, and hence no EOD replacement signal had to be presented. To determine both the somatotopic representation of the four chambers in the ELL segment of interest and the location of the pyramidal cell layer, we mapped the area by using single unit recordings of pyramidal cells. Search stimuli were presented only through the side electrodes of each compartment. For the three tuberous segments (CMS, CLS, and LS), it consisted of sinusoidal amplitude modulations between 2 and 10 Hz of an external stimulus with a carrier frequency similar to the animal's own EOD frequency.
Portions of the ELL segment of interest were lesioned by pressure injecting 10 mM biotinylated ibotenic acid (26) into the pyramidal cell layer or the molecular layer. Ibotenic acid is an excitotoxic glutamate agonist that selectively affects only cell bodies and dendrites leaving fibers of passage intact (27). However, in our experimental paradigm, the survival times of the fish were usually not long enough to allow us to unequivocally verify the size of the lesion histologically because the extent of the gliosis becomes fully apparent only several days after injection of ibotenic acid. Thus, we conjugated ibotenic acid with biotin and used histochemical procedures to visualize the biotinylated ibotenic acid. The effects of biotinylated ibotenic acid did not differ from its unbiotinylated form (26). The effects of the drug injection were assessed by both recording neuronal responses to search stimuli at the injection site and monitoring the behavior. As a control, we injected similar amounts of carrier solution (Hepes) containing biotin and glycin at the usual concentrations but no ibotenic acid was injected into the CMS. At the conclusion of the control experiment, the electrode tract was marked by injecting current through the same barrel (17, 28). After a survival time of 3–12 h, the animal was perfused, and the brain was removed, sectioned on a Vibratome, and processed histochemically to visualize the biotinylated ibotenic acid by using a standard ABC/3,3′-diaminobenzidine reaction protocol (22, 26). Sections were analyzed light-microscopically by following the common nomenclature (29). EODs were amplified with a custom-made differential DC amplifier and stored on a video tape by using a PCM recording adapter (Vetter 3000A; sample rate 50 kHz). For subsequent analysis, signals were A/D-converted by using a commercial data analysis system (Signal, Engineering Design, Belmont, MA). To characterize the JAR, peak values of the EOD spectrogram were determined (sample rate, 10 kHz), and for the chirp analysis, the zero crossings of the EOD were calculated (sample rate, 25 kHz) and smoothed (running average, bin width 5 ms at 25 kHz). As a measure for the JAR, we used the maximum EOD frequency change during each JAR cycle. Chirps were characterized by their duration (measured in a frequency–time plot 50% above baseline) and the maximum frequency change. Statistical data analysis was performed by using commercial software (sigmastat/sigmaplot, Jandel, San Rafael, CA). Data were normalized relative to the mean (normally distributed) or median (nonnormally distributed) prelesion results for each experiment. Differences between pre- and postlesion data sets were compared by using t tests (normally distributed data) or Mann–Whitney rank sum tests (nonnormally distributed data).
Inactivation of the various ELL segments had markedly different effects on the two behaviors tested. Lesions in the caudal part of the CMS in Eigenmannia, covering less than one-third of its total volume (Fig. 1A) reduced the JAR by more than 80% of its prelesion value when jamming signals were presented in the posterior compartments (parts 2–4) of the stimulation chamber (Fig. 1 B and C). Single and multiunit recordings in the injection area performed about 10 min after the injection revealed highly elevated neuronal activity of pyramidal cells that was, however, no longer correlated with the stimulus presented (Fig. 1D, center traces). Approximately 20 min later, any pyramidal cell activity at the injection site had ceased. In contrast, spherical cells, which are situated about 200 μm ventral to the pyramidal cell layer and exhibit no N-methyl-d-aspartate binding (19, 20), were not affected by ibotenic acid and still responded in a correlated manner (data not shown). Similarly, the responses of pyramidal cells located only about 500 μm lateral to the injection center were unchanged (Fig. 1D, bottom traces). In addition, when a jamming signal was presented in all compartments the JAR was also not altered significantly (Fig. 1 C and D). On average, after CMS lesions, the JAR reached only 16% of the prelesion value (Fig. 1C). Control injections of similar amounts of carrier solution did not affect the JAR (data not shown; rank sum test, P = 0.973).
In contrast to CMS lesions, inactivations of the other two tuberous segments, CLS and LS, clearly failed to affect the JAR (Fig. 2), despite the fact that the activity of pyramidal cells at the injection site underwent the same changes seen after injections in CMS (see Fig. 1D). Even after extensive lesions covering almost the entire CLS and LS bilaterally, such as the case depicted in Fig. 2, the postlesion JAR did not differ significantly from the JAR prior to the lesion (Fig. 2 B and C). Because there was no statistical difference between the results from unilateral and bilateral lesions (three and two fish, respectively; rank sum test, P = 0.932), we pooled all data for the calculation of the average JAR performance (Fig. 2C). We find that, on average, LS/CLS lesions had no effect on the JAR (Fig. 2C). It is noteworthy that also in two specimens of Apteronotus, which showed a relatively consistent JAR, CMS lesions but not lesions in the LS reduced the JAR (data not shown).
Unilateral lesions of portions of the LS, however, very consistently reduced the chirp response to externally presented electric signals in Apteronotus (Fig. 3). Approximately 30 min after LS lesions, evoked chirps that were by more than 80% shorter in their duration (Fig. 3C) and covered a 95% smaller frequency range than before (Fig. 3D). This is consistent with observations in untreated animals that a lower stimulus amplitude or a smaller body surface area exposed to external signals resulted in similar changes in evoked chirping behavior (data not shown; see also ref. 17). Yet, after lesions of the CMS and CLS, evoked chirping remained unchanged (Fig. 4). Even injections that covered almost the entire CMS and CLS bilaterally (Fig. 4A) did not affect either duration or EOD frequency change of evoked chirps (Fig. 4 C and D). Interestingly, two specimens of Eigenmannia also continued to produce intermittent chirps after lesions of the CMS, especially in response to signals presented at frequencies 5–10 Hz above the fish's EOD simulation (data not shown) but no fish did so after lesions of the LS (n = 5).
We conclude that of the three tuberous ELL segments, the CMS is necessary and apparently also sufficient for the processing of signals eliciting a JAR. Conversely, the LS appears to be necessary and sufficient to process external signals that evoke chirping. The behavioral role of the CLS is still unclear. It does not seem to be involved, however, in the encoding of signals yielding a JAR or evoking chirping.
Our findings are consistent with several earlier behavioral, physiological, and histochemical studies. For instance, pyramidal cells in each map respond differently to the frequency of sinusoidal amplitude modulations: most pyramidal cells in the CMS respond best to sinusoidal amplitude modulations of 1–3 Hz, whereas those in the LS prefer rates above 8 Hz (12). On the other hand, pyramidal cells in the CMS have a smaller receptive field size, thus showing higher spatial resolution than those in the LS (12–15). High spatial resolution is a prerequisite for the computational mechanisms controlling the JAR (9) and high temporal resolution is presumably required to encode the beat pattern that evokes chirps (15). Indeed, pyramidal cells in the LS encode simulations of brief chirps better than those in the CMS or CLS (15). Correspondingly, in behavioral experiments, the JAR is elicited most strongly by frequency differences of 1–6 Hz between the fish's EOD (or its mimic) and the external signal, whereas frequency differences between 8 and 16 Hz evoke chirp responses best (9, 12, 22–24). Finally, serotonin, which seems to represent a neuromodulatory agent for the processing of conspecific communication signals in gymnotiform fish (14), is found at higher densities in LS than in CMS or CLS (13).
Numerous previous studies have demonstrated that the premotor pathways controlling communication behavior and the JAR are composed of separate pathways as well. They all converge at the level of the pacemaker nucleus, which controls the discharge rate of the electric organ. However, inputs modulating EOD rates in the context of communication behavior and jamming avoidance response, respectively, terminate on two different cell types and are mediated by different glutamate receptor subtypes (9, 28, 30–36). Hence, the segregated information flow in the context of two different behaviors appears to be conserved from the ELL all through the central nervous system to the pacemaker nucleus. But how are the intermediate brain structures able to sort out the incoming sensory information, extract higher order stimulus features, and activate the distinctly different premotor pathways that control the different behaviors? The projection patterns from the ELL to the next higher order structure of the ascending electrosensory pathway, the highly laminated torus semicircularis dorsalis, for instance, appear to differ only slightly between the various ELL segments (12). Yet the dorsal torus is known to contain neurons responding selectively only to signals occurring during the communication behavior and the JAR (9, 36). Refined anatomical tracing techniques might provide the tools needed to resolve differences in the connections from the various ELL maps to the 12 layers of the dorsal torus.
What is the reason for the distinctly distributed organization of the electrosensory system in these fish? Electrosensory systems might share a common evolutionary lineage with the mechanosensory (lateral line) system. It was suggested repeatedly that electrosensory brain structures could have evolved by duplication from mechanosensory areas (37, 38). Hence, it is tempting to speculate that duplication of existing brain maps could efficiently accommodate the increased information flow associated with a growth in the behavioral repertoire. This idea was originally proposed for the mirror image organization of sensory maps in mammalian cortex (39, 40). A further evolutionary increase in the complexity of sensory scenes and motor actions, such as in visually guided mammalian behavior, might eventually have required a greater flexibility in information processing. This might have yielded the shared use of circuit elements originally anchored in separate information streams by bridging between maps and, thus, resulted in the present distributed hierarchical organization of most vertebrate sensory systems. It is conceivable that the relatively simple nature of electric signals controlling a limited behavioral repertoire in electric fish caused the tuberous electrosensory system to retain this "primitive" character of a distinct modularity.

Beaming to Netflix.
+1 for the Internet.
See that photo up top of Rihanna sitting next to Lupita Nyong'o front row of a Miu Miu fashion show in 2014? It's the ember that sparked an Internet meme which has evolved into a bonafide movie concept that was lifted from the caption of the pic: "They look like they're in a heist movie with Rihanna as the tough-as-nails leader/master thief and Lupita as the genius computer hacker."
Twitter took it a step further by requesting Ava DuVernay (Selma) to direct and Issa Rae (Insecure) write the screenplay.
They're in as well. All four women caught wind of the buzz, and in April confirmed their participation with a film project.

EW reports Netflix secured the upcoming movie following a heated bidding war at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
From EW:
Since then, the buzz has only intensified, with some creating concept art of the "scammer story" they envisioned with Rihanna playing a woman who cons white men, while her brilliant co-conspirator (played by Nyong'o) orchestrates the heists. It's unclear how faithful Rae will remain to the crowd-sourced concept. (Since this piece was published, reps for Rae told Vanity Fair "the original Twitter users who imagined the concept for this film will be credited and included in some form."
Sources claim Rae has already begun working on the script and production should start in 2018.
Rihanna recently starred in the final season of Bates Motel, and was recently cast in original musical drama, "Anette."

This major breakthrough in neural regeneration, and in science overall made me elated to say the least. Darek Fidyka had his spinal cord completely severed from a stab-wound 2 years ago that left him paralyzed. It left an 8 mm gap in the spinal cord that effectively disconnected the CNS (central nervous system).
This shows the possibility of impossibility. There is always a solution, a way- you just have to search for it and you'll find it eventually. 🙂
Prof Geoff Raisman, chair of neural regeneration at University College London's Institute of Neurology, led the UK research team.He said what had been achieved was "more impressive than man walking on the moon".
[…] The complex neural circuitry responsible for our sense of smell is the only part of the nervous system that regenerates throughout adult life.
It is this ability that scientists have tried to exploit in stimulating repair in the spinal cord.
Every time we breathe, molecules carrying different odours in the air come into contact with nerve cells in the nose.
These transmit messages to our olfactory bulbs – at the very top of the nasal cavity, sitting at the base of the brain.
The nerve cells are being continually damaged and must be replaced.
This process of regeneration is made possible by olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), which provide a pathway for the fibres to grow back.
