Interesting things I've bookmarked (old posts, page 82)
Why our IQ levels are higher than our grandparents'
In 1900, only 3% of Americans practiced professions that were deemed "cognitively demanding." Today, 35% of us do, and we have all learned to be flexible in the way that we think about problems. In this fascinating and fast-paced spin through the cognitive history of the 20th century, moral philosopher James Flynn makes the case that changes in the way we think have had surprising (and not always positive) consequences.

Dracula's Feast
Dracula's Feast is a 10-15 minute game of hidden roles and logical deduction for 4-8 players aged 10 and up. Each player takes on the role of a classic monster at a masquerade party - Identify and expose everyone else... and keep all those juicy villagers for yourself.
Scuttle! is a quick and simple card game suitable for pirates as young as 6. Based on the classic card game Cuttle, the game has been updated with pirate-themed art and new rules - it takes 5-10 minutes to play and each game is totally different.
The upcoming Ataribox retro gaming console will indeed ship with a selection of classic Atari games, as many suspected when the thing was initially announced – but it'll also have a Linux OS on board and the ability to play games from other platforms, since it's going to keep the "open" nature of the OS instead of trying to lock it down to Atari content only.
Atari revealed this and a few more details about the Ataribox today, including the fact that 90,000 of their fans have registered to hear more about the console when it launches. The Ataribox design was revealed previously, and we now know that it's going to be powered by a customized AMD processor with Radeon Graphics tech included. Atari says it'll offer a "full PC experience" for your TV, which sounds a lot like it could be some kind of Steam box or Steam Link-like device.
It'll also have streaming, apps, social features, web browsing and music, meaning it should compete with devices like the Apple TV and the Shield TV from Nvidia in the set-top streaming world, too. That definitely fits with the price point, which Atari says will range between $249 and $299 depending on specs and configurations during the Indiegogo pre-order campaign set to kick off in Spring 2018.

Anova's DIY Guide to Building a Sous Vide Cooler
A sous vide cooler makes it easy to cook for days (literally!). The reason? Insulation. By insulating your sous vide container, you can prevent evaporation, increase efficiency, and maintain precise temperatures in even larger vessels. The Precision Cooker is listed with a maximum vessel capacity of 20 quarts/5 gallons/~19 liters of water–but you can actually exceed the recommended max capacity and maintain temperature just as well with proper insulation. In fact, Anova can maintain down-to-the-degree temperature control with as big of a container of water as you can find. Our customers have had success with 33-quart coolers and up due to how well the insulation helps things. That's bananas!

Every online business is losing money even though they have a good revenue and healthy amount of traffic bumping into the website. Because, each and every day we are losing some potential orders in website.
How is it? Cart abandonment. Customers who abandon cart causes a great pain and high level of loss to online retailers.
Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate
Baymard Institute has compiled 34 different studies and found the average shopping cart abandonment to be 68.81%. That's a lot and it means approximately only 1 in every 4 customers make through the final purchase.
How much more revenue would that mean for your store, if you gain back those customers?
Think about that. For example, if you are currently making $25,000/mo in online revenue and could turn just 30% of those abandoned orders into sales, you'd make an extra $75,000 per year.
Why Shoppers Leave Without Paying?
The biggest reason customers don't complete the purchase process is hidden item costs. Not showing the additional fees and charges in the product page. There are lot of other reasons for a customer to abandon the cart.
According to Statista there are 14 reasons why customers abandon their cart. The results of their reports give some additional insights.
This chart shows that the customers just surf to research, compare and evaluate the product. A study by comScore also shows that "not being ready to purchase" or "saving the items for later" were the biggest factors.
Research by close and kukar-kinney shows the other possible angle that a significant number of people use the shopping cart as a sort of wish list or to simply check out the total price of the products in cart.
Track the exact reason in your website
Every shoppers are different in making their purchases. This unique behaviour makes eliminating cart abandonment very complicated. Reading, doing studies and funneling/enhanced eCommerce in Google Analytics can give you more insights. Enhanced eCommerce will tell you at which point shoppers abandon your cart and with what product in the cart. The filters can help you dig to the more accurate information.
Asking your shoppers why they abandon your website will also pay you off. You can use exit intent survey to pop up a survey a window when a shopper is moving his cursor to close. If you ask shoppers at this time why they're leaving, it could give you some useful insights.
Motivate Shoppers to buy the product
In a survey, the whooping 58% respondents said that emails and ads, which offer a discount on an abandoned product brings them back to the website. This proves the effectiveness of retargeting the abandonment cart shoppers.
You can use the survey report of your website to send more efficient emails with offers overcoming the reason for abandoning cart.
Frequency of recovery email campaign
- 1st email – within 24 hours
- 2nd email – within 2 days
- 3rd email – within a week
Automate recovery email campaign
In WooCommerce, the email is sent only once immediately after the purchase failure. To automate the recovery emails based on the frequency you can create a workflow in CRM and trigger the emails periodically.
To connect your WordPress and CRM, you can use an integration tool Leads Builder for CRM.
You can integrate with WooCommerce to send the shoppers who abandon the cart as CRM Leads. The Leads in the CRM can be processed through the workflow and receives the recovery emails periodically. The tool works with Zoho CRM, Freshsales, Zoho CRM Plus, Vtiger CRM, SugarCRM & SuiteCRM.
Whenever a new abandon cart lead is captured in the CRM, the 3 recovery email campaigns are triggered based on the workflow. The complete automation enables to retarget the abandon cart shoppers and bring them back successfully.
By using shopping cart recovery emails we were able to recover 23% of the abandoned orders within few days of the campaign starting. If you're already using Leads Builder for CRM, you're lucky. If not, grab your FREE 24 hours trial and check it out for yourself. You can write to us at [email protected] for any assistance or please leave us your feedback in the comments below.

Here are the top 5 Christian Leadership blog posts on leadership and productivity I read this week, along with some posts from here you might have missed.
Here are the top 5 Christian leadership blog posts on leadership or productivity that I've read this past week:
Making it Personal by Ray Evans
"[In your preaching] why not try to replace abstraction headings with more specific applicatory headings? You will find yourselves engaging with your audiences and holding their attention for much longer. For you are now addressing them with God's word".
Self-Control, the Leader's Make-or-Break Virtue by Drew Dyck
"I'm convinced that the vast majority of leaders whose ministries implode because of a moral failing started on their path by neglecting their relationship with God. Estranged from God's Spirit, the fruit of self-control eventually withered in their lives. One of the cruel ironies of ministry is that it's easy to nurture other people's souls while neglecting your own".
14-Point Check Up For Mistakes That Will Hurt Your Leadership by Dan Reiland
"Going through the process of a thorough check-up from head to toe is not much fun, but it's a smart thing to do. My doctor is excellent and very thorough. He starts with my vital signs, does extensive bloodwork, and then checks for things that might indicate a health issue.
It's a good idea to do the same thing as a leader. It's best to focus on the positive things that will strengthen your leadership, but it's also smart to check your habits against a list of things that could hurt you over the long-haul".
The Most Attractive Quality in a Leader by Andrew Wilson
"What is the most attractive quality in a leader? No doubt there are all sorts of ways of answering that, and although some responses are obviously wrong, I don't think there's any particular one that is obviously right (other than "Christlikeness" or "love", which just push the question back a stage: "OK, so what does that look like?"). For years I've oscillated between "prayerfulness" and "humility" (which, when you think about it, are two sides of the same coin), with "zeal" and "wisdom" also up there. But more recently I've thought about it in a slightly different way, based on the beautiful image in C. S. Lewis's The Last Battle. The most attractive quality in a leader, I find, is when you discover that the inside is bigger than the outside.".
3 Ways to Preach to Your Church by Craig Thompson
"Many pastors have lost their influence and even their jobs because they preached to a fantasy congregation that existed in their heads rather than the people in front of them.
The sermon illustrations didn't fit the congregation, and in the process, pastors like this lost the opportunity to preach to the people to whom God had called them".
And why not look at some of the www.equippinghispeople.com posts to read you may not have seen this week:
- Christian Leadership: Why Me?
- Sermon Podcast: New Year, New You | Prayer for a Change (Matthew 6:5-13)
- Sermon Podcast: A New Year, A New You | Faith-full Goal Setting (Hebrews 11:1-40)

With the tools available today, investment selection is easy. Investment planning however is difficult. What makes investment planning so very difficult is dealing with people emotions around money. The single most important element of investment planning is identifying the appropriate level of investment volatility or risk. There is a very direct relationship between investment risk and investment reward. Finding a balance between the investment growth needed and the investor's comfort level with risk is critical. While many factors must be considered, we feel that the two most important factors are the investment time horizon and 'the sleep factor' (what level of volatility will allow me to sleep at night without worrying about my finances?) While selecting an investment is not difficult, assessing some of the soft issues surrounding investor psychology can be very difficult. This is further complicated when there are several family members involved.
Simply put, investment planning is about setting expectations around the dollars that you have accumulated or will accumulate over your lifetime.
What rate is likely?
How much could I make or lose over night or over one or three year period?
How much is enough?
This is impossible to do without a very good financial plan.

Singer Madonna took a terrible tumble while onstage at the BRIT Awards in London on Wednesday.
The megastar was singing "Living for Love" when something went horribly wrong. Scroll down for the video.
Madonna walked out with a cape tied around her neck. It seems she didn't get it untied in time. Her backup dancers yanked on it to pull it off, but Madonna went with it, falling down a set of three stairs.
Watch the video!
Always the pro, Madonna quickly recovered, continued singing the lyrics to her hit song, which ironically include lines like "let me fall down" and "watched me stumble."
She later responded with this Instagram post letting fans know she was okay.

We had lots of fun at Battle of the Bands this afternoon and that was the advice from our judges - Dave Brooking (drummer) and Simeon Carter-Dillon (singer) - HAVE FUN! We started off with a warm up with the Year 6 band and 'Wipe Out'. Sam Jones provided sound support before the bands started and in between performances; lots of the boys were keen to learn how his equipment worked and were keen to have a go! As with Wembury's Got Talent, we were treated to a range of brilliant performances. The children should be proud of themselves - we are impressed with their confidence and courage to perform in front of all of the children and adults watching.
We enjoyed the following performances:
Starbust (Year 3 band) - 'Don't Worry' by Bob Marley
The Graffiti Artists (Year 4 band) - 'Just the Way You Are' by Bruno Mars
Next Generation (Year 5 band) - 'Keep Holding On' by Avril Lavigne
Pic 'N' Mix (Year 6 girl band) - 'Love Yourself' by Justin Bieber
The Rackets (Year 6 boy band) - 'Stressed Out' by Twenty One Pilots
After much deliberation, the judges admitted they had had a very hard decision to make. They gave each band really valuable, specific feedback and then revealed their winner. Well done to both Year 6 bands who were chosen as joint winners! Once again, a huge thank you must go to Ms Boucherat for organising another brilliant event. We would also like to thank our judges, sound technician and everyone else who supported the event.

We will write a custom essay sample on
KHUSHBOO app also lets consumers decide what to
Specifically for you for only
$16.38 $13.9/page
order now
First Application: BITE
to application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bite
Bite is a novel community style
cooking application. People post the photos of their favorite dishes and then
other community members make them and provide thumbs up or down. With those
ratings, other community members decide what's good and what's bad.
The app also lets consumers decide
what to eat next and it has become a lot easier with this application. Eating
out is not boring any more at the same places.
This application brings the
transparency between the consumers and the restaurants. In this app some new
updates have been installed like a couple of exciting tickers for the users to
stay update on the feeds.
I chose this app because I always felt
the need of having an application which can let me skip the hassle of reading
long reviews and decide my next dish with just one swipe. I can also recommend
others to try the flavorful food I liked and enjoy it. As I am a big foodie
like many others, so this app is an essential use for all the food-lovers out
of application: Food and Drink
Technologies: Java for Android, the database for storage, Google maps/ GPS for
tracking location, facebook and instagram Rest API for integration, google API
for sign in integration.
The user
interface is user friendly.
The app is
revolutionary as it lets user discover based on distance and budget.
In the edit
profile section in the settings, a feature to add website links and Instagram
account has been provided.
The app provides
improved performance.
With the nice
cameras that everyone has, it will provide user with an idea of how the food looks
to real customers and not just pictures from menus and commercials where things
are fabricated.
Help users to
find their next food easily.
Bite focuses on
reviewing dishes and not restaurants.
Swipe option is
available to discover and find next food dishes.
Easily access the
information regarding nearby restaurants.
Lets one decide
themselves if the dish is worth or not.
The concept of
the app is brilliant, and it has great UX.
It has a very
simple user interface.
The pictures
posted are clear.
It's easy to get
the prices and location.
It is very
straightforward, impressive and very convenient for everyday use.
It allows user to
signup using Facebook or Instagram account.
The app needs
access to the media, files, location, pictures.
Setting for
radius regarding location can be improved. For example: If there is a need for
food suggestions or posts within 30 miles of the current location, so posts as
per that criteria should show up on the screen.
First Heuristic Evaluation: Visibility of system status
· Are users being made aware
of what is going on?
Yes, users know
what is going on. For example, when we try to see the dish item, it pops up
with an option to swipe right and add the dish to the bookmarks.
· For user action,
is appropriate feedback being provided within a reasonable time?
Yes, I observed
appropriate feedback is provided to the user within a reasonable time. For
example, Once the user has added an app to the bookmarks, user can leave a
comment stating views about the app to the other users. It also provides users
with an option to categorize it under taste, portion and Recommendation for
Second Heuristic Evaluation: Help users recognize, diagnose and
recover from errors
· Are error messages
Yes, error
messages are provided. For example, I try to check-in in offline mode, error
message is provided. If there are no dishes or reviews in any specific area,
the app informs and pops up with the message. Incase of any errors during login
sessions, it shows the message on screen and lets user fill the remaining
· Do the error
messages describe the problem in plain language and suggest a way of solving
No, error
messages are not descriptive. It should show me a network error, but it is
showing some generic error message.
Also, for the
login issues, it marks the field red and hence let user fill in the field which
is required to sign in to the app.
Second Application: Selfissimo
to application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.photolab.selfissimo
The app is one of the new Google apps.
The app takes pictures automatically takes photos while the user poses. The
application uses AI when user is ready for the picture. The app shows different
kinds of things app is doing with their AI. The app is fun to work with and see
what Google is working on. The app uses experimental research technology from
Google to click photos automatically each time you pose, encouraging you to
capture your best self.
I chose this app as the users reviews
and amazing feedbacks generated curiosity to analyse this app. The interesting
features of face detection and photo automated capture mesmerized me. It is a
much appreciated and recommended photo app.
of application: Photo & Video
Technologies: Selfissimo! Relies on technologies under active research at
Google, so the performance is device-dependable. App is good with power machine
learning and algorithm.
The app also
takes the photos and put them in the collages for the user.
It detects user
face, enhances facial features like eyes, nose without making it look
The app makes
user looks really good than the normal selfie.
The app uses a
blur also while capturing photos.
It perfectly
times the shots and clicks the photos at the right time.
The user can go
back and review the previous shots.
The app works
well while clicking photos by skipping the background and focusing on face.
It doesn't take
photos of the times while you are changing postures thereby less blurry photos.
The app blurs the background even for cheaper devices.
One can delete
single images and determine the final series of shots.
The app clicks
photos too fast.
Sometimes the app
doesn't recognize the movement thus doesn't click the photo.
Also, at times
photos aren't autosaved thus if the user looses the screen then all the shots
are lost.
It doesn't
capture the entire image which it shows on phone screen, but crops it while
taking a photo.
Photos are black
and white.
The app doesn't
work the same if there is more than one person in the photo.
Face is not
detected in direct sunlight.
There can be
little tuning with the shutter speed and AI recognizing movement.
There can be
additional filters in the app.
Auto save feature
is needed.
Apart of the monochrome
(b/w) effects there should be an original capture mode.
First Heuristic Evaluation: Help and documentation
Is help information provided?
No, I can't find
help information separately, because there was no need for help information.
Everything was very clear and start button is shown as soon as open the app.
For example, after clicking the photos an option automatically pops after you
stop photos capture to save media or not. The app also compliments while
capturing shots and the feature of compliments can be turned off in the left
side menu of the app. If the user wants to switch to new photoshoot, the app
tells user that unsaved photos will be lost to aware the user. The photo can
also be edited in the app itself and saved further. The app in itself is very
informative and easy to use.
Can help information be easily searched and easily followed?
No, I can't find
help information separately, because there was no need for help information.
Everything was very clear and precise. The screen clearly states that "tap
anywhere to end" and gives options to the user to save photos or review and
delete them as required. The app is simple to use and descriptive in itself.
Second Heuristic Evaluation: User control and freedom
there ways to allow users to easily leave the unexpected page/state?
Yes, I observed this feature.
For example, it gives an option to start clicking of the photos and user can
start posing, the app automatically captures photos. Once you want the app to
stop capturing, there is an option available to stop clicking and it brings you
to the page where there is an option to save the photos captured or not. If the
user wishes not to save them then the photos are not saved and it prompts with
START option if user wants to capture again.

You've passed your Initial Test of Competence - a major achievement in its own right, so well done - but what comes next? The Assessment of Professional Competence is the second part of the qualifying examination and, as the name suggests, assesses your levels of professional competence.
To be eligible, you have to not only have passed your ITC, but completed at least 20 months of your registered training contract and successfully completed a professional programme too, as the two exams are very different and a professional programme will properly prepare you for the assessment. The professional programme is valid for three years, so you must obtain your APC in that period or you will have to redo it to be eligible to sit for the exam again.
The APC takes place once a year, every November, and is a single multi-disciplinary case study which simulates real life scenarios. The same case study is used to assess all candidates writing the exam, regardless of your training contract elective, and is developed based on the foundational competency areas of accounting and external reporting, as well as pervasive skills and strategy, risk management and governance (the other competency areas are also assessed within this).
Applications for the APC must be made via the online registration form on the SAICA website before the closing date, although it is possible to submit a late application up to 14 days before the date of the assessment, subject to an increased fee. SAICA will then inform you in writing if you are eligible to sit the exam.
The format of this assessment is very different to a traditional exam. Pre-release material is released five days before the exam and is aimed at assisting candidates prepare as fully as possible and– SAICA will publish the date it will be made available on its website. The material will be made available at 8am in PDF format through various channels including the SAICA website, email and professional programme provider electronic sites. The onus is on you to print it out, get to grips with it and take it along with you on the day of the assessment. The pre-release period is your opportunity to carry out research that will update the necessary specific aspects of your technical knowledge, obtain a deeper understanding of the industry provided by the case study and perform analyses.
You will be given eight hours (a full work day) to complete the assessment, between 9am and 5pm, and you are allowed to take a copy of certain documents and books into the exam: the International Financial Reporting Standards; the International Audit and Assurance Standards, Legislation, Governance (King III Code); and Tax Legislation from the SAICA student handbooks; and a lever arch file of material you have gathered during the pre-release period.
SAICA is piloting writing the exam electronically using basic Word and Excel functionality in 2015, with the aim of fully rolling this out over a 2 year period. This allows the candidate to better simulate working in the real world.
SAICA will then inform you of your result in writing. Should you fail, it is possible to request a copy of your answer book with a summary of level of competence achieved; if you would like more detailed comments on individual answers, it will come with an additional fee.
Once you have proved that you are capable of performing tasks as an entry-level CA within a professional environment, the world will become your oyster.
Every now and then, we all need a little inspiration. And if inspiration and motivation is what you're looking...

May i know the weather condition over there as i'm planning to ride there next month. Thks
The good thing about this is that MHS has a fairly big airport (HGN or VTCH identifiers). The weather can always be checked on-line eg

Googling "weather VTCH" or "weather HGN" will bring up a ton of info.

As I mentioned a while back, my friend Jessica was sweet enough to do some six month photos for our baby girl {who was in not a great mood that day so how she managed these cute photos is still beyond me}.
After sharing her daddy's favorites - I think it is time to share mine {read: most of the rest of the disc} - with commentary, of course. <3
Mom, why the heck do I have this flower on my head?
I guess it's kinda cute.
Alright, that's about all I can handle with this thing.
Oh, you think you're funny now, eh? That this bow is gonna last longer?
No snarky commentary here, because I am so in love with this photo I can't even mar it with a joke.
Look Ma! I'm standing!
We got changed and headed to the park before losing too much light...and still had a serious baby.
Have you ever seen someone having less fun on a slide?
I mean, it's a slide baby girl!
What's this, a knob? How, er, quaint.
Seriously Mom, enough of this playground.
Take me back to my books please - I am right in the middle of The Federalist Papers.
I wasn't kidding!
Oh, alright, I will be happy if you HOLD me!
All in all it was a great day, with some good friends <3 Thanks Jessica!
Aunty Jess herself
Evelyn Rae is almost eight months old
...and we will finally have some printed photos of our daughter in our house thanks to this photo session! Parenting Fail.

SACRAMENTO — California river anglers can look forward to an improved salmon fishing season on both the Central Valley and Klamath-Trinity River systems this year, due to the higher numbers of fall Chinooks projected to return to both watersheds.
On May 16, the California Fish and Game Commission voted to approve salmon seasons and bag and possession limits on the Sacramento and Klamath/Trinity river systems at its teleconference meeting in Sacramento.
"A projected return of 379,600 spawning Sacramento River fall-run Chinook Salmon to Central Valley rivers has allowed fishery managers to return to a two salmon daily limit with four salmon in possession," according to a statement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Last year, due to forecasted lower salmon returns, anglers in the Sacramento River Basin were only allowed a one fish bag limit with two fish in possession. The Klamath River fall Chinook salmon ocean abundance forecast of 274,200 adults allows anglers a daily limit of two Chinook salmon, no more than one of which may be greater than 22 inches, and a possession limit of six, of which only three may be greater than 22 inches, according to the CDFW.
"It is excellent that the predicted Central Valley returns are high enough to offer anglers the opportunity to take two salmon daily and four in possession," said California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Fisheries Branch Chief Kevin Shaffer.
"Klamath River fall Chinook salmon returns are predicted to be above average, and that should provide good angling opportunity."
Central Valley rivers: Daily limit of two fish per day and a possession limit of four fish. On the American and Feather rivers, the general season opener is July 16. On the Sacramento River below Deschutes Road Bridge to the Red Bluff Diversion Dam, the season opens Aug. 1 and closes Dec. 16. From below the Red Bluff Diversion Dam to the Carquinez Bridge, the season opens July 16 and closes Dec. 16.
On the Feather River, the season change will extend fishing opportunity by additional two weeks, closing on October 31. On the Mokelumne River, which opens on July 16, almost 10 miles of additional habitat is open to salmon fishing.
The 2019-2020 sport seasons, dates, locations, bag limits and gear restrictions will be published in the 2019-2020 Sport Fishing Regulations Supplement that will be posted on the CDFW website in May.
Folsom Lake rainbows/San Joaquin River stripers: A scouting trip to Folsom Lake on Tuesday by Captain James Netzel of Tight Lines Guide Service produced 10 rainbows ranging from 14 to 18 inches. They caught the fish while trolling Speedy Shiners from 20 to 35 feet deep from the main body to the South Fork.
On Netzel's final spring striper adventure on the San Joaquin River on May 17, the six anglers and the captain landed limits of striped bass to 5 pounds while drifting live jumbo minnows. Information: (888) 975-0990.
San Francisco Bay halibut — Live bait fishing continues to be great on the central and South Bay with a good grade of halibut up to 20 pounds showing, reported Jonathan Smith of the Happy Hooker Sportfishing. The 14 anglers fishing aboard the Happy Hooker on Monday, May 20, caught 25 halibut and 10 striped bass. Information: (510) 223-5388.
On Sunday, the 30 anglers on the Pacific Dream landed 41 halibut and 21 striped bass while fishing with Captain Chris Smith. Information: (510) 993-4414.

The simple story we are told about genes being the blueprint of life is "misleading and distorted", according to a leading science writer.
Sixty years ago today, Francis Crick and James Watson published details of the double helix molecular structure of DNA in Nature.
But science writer Dr Philip Ball, who has written a commentary in this week's Nature, argues the DNA narrative has been oversimplified.
Dr Ball is calling for scientists to admit they do not know how evolution works at the molecular level.
"While specialists debate what the latest [genomics] findings mean, the rhetoric of popular discussions of DNA, genomics and evolution remains largely unchanged, and the public continues to be fed assurances that DNA is as solipsistic a blueprint as ever," Dr Ball wrote in the journal.
"[The] usual tidy tale of how 'DNA makes RNA makes protein' is sanitised to the point of distortion."
His commentary has raised the hackles of some Australian experts, who defend what has become known as the central dogma of molecular biology.
Some years after the landmark paper, Crick articulated the basic idea that "DNA makes RNA, which makes protein", which ultimately produces an organism's "observable traits".
But Dr Ball said this narrative is oversimplified.
"Sixty years on [from the double helix], the very definition of gene is hotly debated," he said.
"We do not know what most of our DNA does, nor how or to what extent it governs traits."
Dr Ball said "difficult questions" were raised by a number of discoveries.
Those discoveries included the fact that only a fraction of the genome produces protein, that chemical modification of DNA can affect the expression of genes, and that genes work together in networks.
"When the structure of DNA was first deduced, it seemed to supply the final part of a beautiful puzzle. The simplicity of that picture has proved too alluring. For the jubilee we should do DNA a favour and lift some of the awesome responsibility for life's complexity from its shoulders."
A complex story
But Australian expert in haemophilia and obesity genetics, Professor Merlin Crossley, disagrees with Dr Ball's view.
"I think the models for evolution work well, our understanding of genes work well," Professor Crossley said, who is Dean of Science at the University of New South Wales.
"Biology has always been more complicated, more untidy and often more wasteful than we imagined," added Professor Crossley, who argues much of the human genome is made up of parasitic retroviruses that are not much use to humans.
Professor Crossely said the collection of vast amounts of genomic data in recent years has revealed things are not as simple as we might have thought before.
But he sees no "looming paradigm shift".
"I don't think it's a tell-tale sign that we've got things wrong," he said.
Professor Simon Foote, who studies the genetic control of susceptibility to diseases such as malaria, agrees that molecular genetics is "hideously complicated", but also rejects Dr Ball's conclusion.
"I think it's largely rubbish. The central dogma is not wrong," Professor Foote said, who is the Dean of the Australian School of Advanced Medicine at Macquarie University.
"No matter how complex things are, the central flow of information is still the same. What is complex is the regulation of that."
Like Professor Crossley, he fully supports DNA metaphors such as the "blueprint" or "book" of life.
He said while there was much to understand about evolution, he had no doubt it was encoded in the genome.
Professor Foote said humans and chimps had a 99 per cent similarity in protein-encoding genes, but quite different DNA sequences were involved in determining whether and how those genes were expressed.
"At least changes in speciation are probably due to changes in regulation of DNA," Professor Foote said.
Simplistic communication
Professor Foote agrees simplistic communication of genetics, and communication based on "hype" or "promise not fact", has led to false expectations about what can be delivered by genomics research.
"There was this concept of one gene, one disease, but the Human Genome Project really threw that out the window," he said.
"There are 60 genes involved in multiple sclerosis, each contributing a small fraction, probably interacting with each other, probably interacting with the environment."
He said rather than being an end in itself, the Human Genome Project is a useful tool for exploring biology in all its complexity.
Both Professor Crossley and Professor Foote say the complexity of genetics is not generally passed on to the community.
But neither should it be, according to Dr Paul Griffiths, a professor of philosophy of science at the University of Sydney.
A gene means many things
Professor Griffiths, who is a co-author of a new book called Genetics And Philosophy, said a gene was understood to mean different things by different people.
For example, he said, a molecular biologist would use the term to describe a sequence that coded for a product, such as protein or RNA.
But a gene can also be defined as any part of the DNA that affects a phenotype. That includes regions of the DNA that do not produce anything but still regulate gene expression.
Professor Griffiths said this more "Mendelian" definition of the gene was useful, for example, to evolutionary geneticists, who build models linking genomic change to evolution.
He said it was also useful in communicating genetics to the public.
While simplistic communication about genetics can be used to hype the importance of research, and it can encourage the impression that genes determine everything, Professor Griffiths said he does not believe the answer is to communicate more complexity.
Professor Griffith said that broadly speaking the central dogma still holds and simple statements based on it need to be balanced with other similarly simple, but still roughly true statements, such as: "Every feature of the organism is a result of the interaction between its genes and its environment."
Science communication academic, Dr Joan Leach from The University of Queensland, agrees the average member of the public is not going to be that interested in the complexity of genetics, unless its relevant to an issue that they care about.
"Is there a problem that we need to know about here?" Dr Leach said in response to Dr Ball's article.
"There are dangers in telling the simple story, but he hasn't spelt out the advantages of embracing complexity in public communication."

BARCELONA – A supervised and adapted exercise program improved quality of life, physical functioning, and strength in breast cancer survivors participating in the MAMA MOVE Gaia study.
Of 19 women who initiated participation in the program, which included a 16-week control phase followed by a 16-week exercise training intervention phase, 15 completed the program, and, after the training intervention, they experienced a significant increase in handgrip strength and sit-to-stand repetitions, Ana Joaquim, MD, of Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova de Gaia/Espinho, Portugal, and colleagues reported in a poster at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress.
During the control phase of the prospective nonrandomized study, participants experienced no significant changes over time in any domain of quality of life as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, although a trend toward improved physical functioning was noted at an evaluation performed 8 weeks after the control phase, compared with one performed just prior to the intervention phase (77.3 to 85.3 points, P = .051), the investigators said.
After the intervention phase, however, handgrip strength improved significantly at both the limb where surgery was performed and at the nonoperated limb (from 22.2 to 25.6 kg.f and from 22.6 to 26.9 kg.f). Similar results were observed for a sit-to-stand test (improvement from 12 to 17 repetitions).
Participants in the single-arm clinical trial were assessed after 8 weeks of the control phase, immediately prior to the intervention period, 8 weeks after the control phase, and 16 weeks into the invention phase.
The intervention phase consisted of 3 60-minute sessions per week of combined moderate to vigorous aerobic and strength exercise, defined as exercise at 65%-85% of maximum heart rate or at 6-8 points on the OMNI scale. Mean compliance among the participants was 63.6%.
The participants had a median age of 59 and 15 of the 19 were diagnosed with invasive carcinoma. Following surgery, 13 underwent radiotherapy, 15 received chemotherapy, and 18 received hormone therapy.
"Treatments for early breast cancer have side effects that affect quality of life and cause deconditioning," the investigators wrote, adding that "physical exercise might have a supportive and coadjuvant role in the rehabilitation of breast cancer survivors."
The MAMA MOVE trial aimed to assess the potential benefits of a community-based supervised exercise training program, and the findings suggest such programs could help improve quality of life, particularly with respect to physical functioning, they concluded.
The MAMA MOVE Gaia study was funded by Liga Portuguesa Contra o Cancro. The investigators reported having no disclosures.

Iranian Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani has warned that Iran might launch a pre-emptive strike to prevent an attack on its nuclear facilities.
He said this in an interview with Aljazeera TV on Wednesday.
"We will not sit (with arms folded) to wait for what others will do to us. Some military commanders in Iran are convinced that preventive operations which the Americans talk about are not their monopoly," Shamkhani said when asked about the possibility of a US or Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
"America is not the only one present in the region. We are also present, from Khost to Kandahar in Afghanistan; we are present in the Gulf and we can be present in Iraq," said Shamkhani.
Earlier, the Iranian press reported a commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards as saying Iran will strike the Israeli reactor at Dimona if Israel attacks the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities.
"If Israel fires one missile at Bushehr atomic power plant, it should permanently forget about Dimona nuclear centre, where it produces and keeps its nuclear weapons, and Israel would be responsible for the terrifying consequence of this move," General Muhammad Baqir Zolqadr warned.
The minister's and the general's comments mark an escalation in an exchange of threats between Israel and Iran in recent weeks, leading to speculation that there may be a repeat of Israel's strike against Iraqi nuclear facilities at Osirak in 1981.
Iran's attempt to generate nuclear power at its plant being built at Bushehr is seen by arch-enemies Israel and the United States as a cover for nuclear weapons development.
But Iran insists that its nuclear intentions are peaceful, while pointing at its enemy's alleged nuclear arsenal, which Israel neither confirms nor denies possessing.
Israel within range
Dimona, in the Negev desert, is allegedly where Israel produces weapons-grade plutonium for its estimated 200 nuclear warheads.
Iran says its nuclear programme
Revolutionary Guard chief Yad Allah Javani warned on Sunday that "the entire Zionist territory including its nuclear establishments and atomic munitions are now within the range of Iran's advanced missiles".
The statement came a few days after the Islamic republic conducted what it called a successful test of an upgraded version of its conventional medium-range Shahab-3 missile.
The missile is considered the mainstay of Iran's military technology and portrayed as defensive and dissuasive, but also specifically as a weapon against Israel.
Threats dismissed
The Revolutionary Guards, or Sepah-e Pasdaran, to whom the Shahab-3 has been entrusted, exist in parallel to the regular armed forces. They are well equipped and have a navy and air force as well as ground troops.
"Israel is not capable of attacking Iran and its threats are only propaganda"
Muhammad Baqer Zolqadr,
Zolqadr, however, considered that "given the internal crises in the Zionist regime and its military, security and geographical vulnerability, Israel is not capable of attacking Iran and its threats are only propaganda".
The threats, said General Zolqadr, were intended to deprive Iran of its "indisputable right" to nuclear technology for peaceful ends.
Israel in July tested an improved version of its Arrow II anti-missile system, aimed squarely at fending off any attack by Iran.

I'm trying to think of how this fits in with either Phyllis Diller or wine, but it doesn't. Rats. But it's too much fun to let it go.
Berkeley has a lot of fun, unusual places. I'm wondering if all University towns are this eclectic. Or maybe it's just cause it's California. Probably a combination. In any case …
I have many "favorite places" in Berkeley: There's Fourth Street, a shopping street with the cutest little boutiques you've ever seen in your entire life (insert teenage squeal here). Papyrus — a favorite card and stationery store — is sandwiched between Z Gallerie and a furniture store where you can buy a lovely $850 sofa, although it costs ten times that much. There's a garden store with imaginative little statues and fountains and wrought iron patio furniture, none of which will fit in my suitcase — or my budget. But fun to look. And, of course, restaurants and shoe stores and baby clothes and …
Back on Shattuck Avenue is The Cheese Board, a cheese co-op/bakery which reminds me of the old butcher shop with the long counter and all the wares on display behind the shiny curved glass. The Cheese Board has hundred of cheeses and they give samples. For those of us who have a hard time making decisions, it's a little bite of heaven.
"What would you like to try?" the man behind the counter asks.
"Um … a blue cheese."
We walk 8 feet down to where the blue cheeses are displayed. "Something not too sharp," I add. He cuts a tiny sliver off one of the scores of cheeses. "A little salty," I say, and he says, "try this one," and slivers off another tiny taste of a cheese wedge.
Of course, I never ask the price of any of the cheese and walk out with four or five little hunks of cheese and a baguette of French bread still hot from the oven, and a LOT less money in my purse. (When I was in Berkeley last time, my friend Lonnie paid for all those cheeses and I felt sorta bad when I heard the total for less than a pound of cheese. Shoulda just bought caviar — it couldn't have cost much more!)
Now on to the Monterey Market to gather some mushrooms!
The Monterey Market is far and away my favorite haunt in Berkeley. It's actually, I think, in Albany — slightly farther north. Never mind — it's an adventure and I love it. They have the most unusual, divine food ever, mainly produce from local farms. And the mushrooms! Oh. My. Gosh. Mushrooms of a sort that most people have never heard of. At least not people who live where I live. Perhaps people who live in a university town are used to these multiple choices.
And are they expensive? Um, yes. BUT, mushrooms don't weigh much so even the ones that are $15 or more a pound really aren't all that expensive considering you're only going to buy a couple of ounces. And now you're going to ask me what KIND of mushrooms these are. I can only tell you they are delicious. Whoever heard of these black elephant ear thingies? Or the cute little hen-and-chicks. You know they're going to be great.
"Oooh, fresh morels!" The lady next to me grabs a bag and gently begins loading it with the small black mushrooms. "They're picked locally, you know," she confides in me, (I didn't) and you can only get the fresh ones in May." Well, I gotta have some of those for sure.
"Lucinda," she calls out to a friend, "Come quick. It's morel season!"
The rest of these, I'm clueless. Sure I've heard of Shitake and even Oyster mushrooms, but the rest of these are all new to me.
I think I could move to Berkeley just to be near the Monterey Market. When I got home, I sauteed them in butter and put them over omelets. With mushrooms like these, who needs bacon?
As Julia Child would say, "Bon Appetit!"

3 residents of Danfa near Accra, Ghana have been arrested by the police for subjecting 2 suspects to jungle justice.
The 3 persons who were arrested for subjecting suspects to jungle justice, tied two masons identified as Kwaku Akorli, 51 and Hope Hortor, 28 to a bamboo sticks which was submerged into a manhole filled with water after they were accused by the owner of a construction site where they worked of stealing iron rods.
Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mrs Effia Tenge, who confirmed the arrest of the 3 jungle justice suspects, told Graphic Online that the police received distress calls at about 1:30pm on Monday, November 26, 2018 and went to the scene immediately.
According to her, the two men were found tied separately to the bamboo sticks suspended over the manhole at the construction site where they had been working on the construction of a private building. Effia further disclosed that the rescued jungle justice victims who were weak and struggling to catch their breath were rushed to the hospital, while the owner of the building Manasseh Adzroku and his two accomplices Victor Harrison and Collins Amoako were arrested.

How to nail Mens Street Fashion – Long Tees and Oversized Clothes
Posted on April 30 2014
The past few years, streetwear has made an interesting transformation towards fashion, merging into something better described as street fashion. Just a few days ago, Complex magazine wrote about how streetwear went from being "a movement" to "a trend".
Not too long ago, streetwear was dominated by plain logo tees, logo hats, and maybe a (logo) jacket here and there. Now, the streetwear scene seems to be looking past just labels, and an emphasis on fit, shape, and layering outfits has taken over.
We're breaking down the new street fashion for you, and show you how to dress the part!
Layering Outfits
Most probably the biggest (and coolest) street fashion trend is the use of extensive layering. Throw in 2-3 layers, and keep them at different lengths to get the perfect effect. To be able to do this, you need some oversized long t-shirts. It's impossible to talk about this look without mentioning Skingraft. The LA-based label have pioneered this look for years, and are always innovative in their approach to streetwear, nailing their designs for long t-shirts.
The Skingraft Varsity Collared Shirt in Grey is an excellent piece to start an outfit with. It works amazing on its own, and it's long enough to pull off some dope layering.
The Sleeveless Hoodie T-Shirt is more basic in its approach, but uses the long streetwear t-shirt aesthetic that is perfect for effortless street fashion outfits. The third item, the Hooded Jersey Black is a classic, and one of the bestselling long jerseys we've ever had on PASAR.
Another brand that is really paving its way in the street fashion scene is APRIY. The Dutch designer has a big talent for creating great shapes, and he nails the long t-shirt streetwear trend in the items under. The white and the black long tees are fitted, with scoop necks and semi-long sleeves. The middle one, the Long Sleeved Green Tee is super dope to wear under a short-sleeve t-shirt. Make sure you check out the full APRIY collection here.
Drop Crotch and Longer Shorts
For the longest time we were all about skinny jeans and short shorts. The past few years, the crotches have dropped, the legs have loosened up, and the shorts have grown long. As with the long streetwear t-shirts, you can also do a lot of layering when it comes to shorts (as in the pics above).
Start with a pair of loose shorts, preferably black, white, or grey, and work from there. Here are our top picks for wider shorts following the street fashion aesthetics:
Panel Shorts
If you want to take the layering a step further, get yourself some panel shorts. They add that extra depth to the outfit, and make it stand out. The absolute coolest paneled shorts on the market are (of course) made by Skingraft.
Sophisticated Prints
Compared to the traditional logo prints in streetwear, today's designers have come a long way. We see a lot of digital prints with amazing artwork, used all-over and in panels.
On the pic under you see APRIY's use of the same Medusa print on a tee and a jacket. They work amazing together and give the items that extra pop. Shop them both here.
Also check out the amazing Madonna Print:
A lot has happened from box logo tees to what we've shown here. It's a development for the better, and these are great times to follow street fashion!

Sir Patrick Stewart Has A New Job...Beekeeper
July 17, 2018
Sir Patrick Stewart gets it! Work hard, play hard.
On Monday, the 78-year-old actor finally fulfilled one of his childhood dreams...becoming a beekeeper. And just so you know, he's serious about the job. Not only did he get himself a hive to play with, but he went all out with the beekeeping outfit too. And just to make the new job official, he's even given himself an appropriate nickname, BeeStew!
Since I was a child, I've fantasized about keeping bees, and I finally am. BeeStew! --
A post shared by Patrick Stewart (@sirpatstew) on
Cool! We can't wait to see what he does with his first batch of honey!

May 4th, 2005… A day that will live in infamy. The first day that I started work with my employer, and reentered the workforce after finishing my Master's degree. After five jobs, four managers, and dozens of wonderful new working relationships, I'm still here, and happy to be so.
And now they've given me this lovely desk plaque to recognize my five years:
Here's hopin' I make it to 10!

I have been working on a puzzle. It depicts four women in various poses. It actually is a puzzle version of a work by Alfons Mucha. In actuality, I started it August of last year. But then things just happened, and I took a rather long hiatus.
Then last week, I decided to pull it out again of my closet and continue on it. Now, it is getting shape, about 80 percent complete. One-fourth of the panel is already complete, and I can see one of the women in her full body attire.
Puzzles are fascinating. It makes your brain work. It makes your brain active.
One of my classes, namely Field Methods, is also like a puzzle. Assuming that languages are systematic, one must just figure out the system. And I think I have a good idea of the system of the topic I am working on in Dagara, which is its tense-aspect-mood system.
Yesterday, I decided to make a metadata file for my pictures. I have quite some collection of CDs full of pictures, taken both by me and my family. And since CDs have serial numbers in them, I decided to make an Excel sheet and note what the contents are in the CDs I have, instead of sticking stickers in them which make my laptop growl.
Tonight, I am attending a tango performance with some of my friends. An Argentinian dance troupe, Tango Buenos Aires, is in town, and we bought tickets for the one-night event. Hopefully, that is enjoyable.

Gummy candies are loved by people all over the world for its unique plain and gelatinous taste. Do you know, most of the gelatin used to prepare these candies are sourced from animal parts? Read on to know why you should think twice before consuming these adorably shaped sweet treats.
Gummy candies are popular fun treats for people of all age groups. They are loved for their smooth gelatinous texture and subtle flavors. However, not many people are aware that these candies are usually not vegan and are prepared using animal parts. Here is the inside detail about this addictive candy that you wish you knew before.
Gelatin is an organic substance that is mostly a collection of stringy long protein strands called collagen, which is derived from animal parts such as bones, skin, and horns after boiling these parts for a long duration. Gelatin is the perfect ingredient to prepare these rubbery textured candies as it provides little elasticity and bounce to them. It is also tasteless and odorless in nature, which helps to easily create different flavor variants of gummy candies.
Apart from knowing the way gelatin helps chemically to produce gummy candies, you must also know the process by which gelatin is derived from different animals such as pigs! We recommend you to look online to find some videos that will help you to understand the way gelatin is extracted.
Even though the way gelatin is sourced is not one of the most pleasing visuals to watch, this ingredient is certainly not unhealthy to consume. It has been found that gelatin contains various amino acids found in collagen that we usually do not consume, as not many people consume the bones and other animal organs, which are rich in collagen.
In fact, it is not only the gummy candy that contains gelatin. Gelatin is also an important ingredient of marshmallows, some yogurts, cheeses, milk substitutes, a few frozen vegetables, and some medications.
It must have become very clear to you by now that majority of the gelatin containing products might not be fit for consumption by the vegan population. However, that doesn't mean that there is no vegan alternative to gelatin present in nature. People who eat vegan just need to be extra careful and vigilant regarding the food labels and buy foods that are vegan or contain agar. Agar is a popular substitute for the animal based gelatin as it is sourced from algae. So, even if you are vegan, you can continue to relish your favorite sweet treats like gummy candies and marshmallows.

Colorectal cancer occurs in the colon or rectum. That's the lower part of your digestive system. It often starts with small growths called polyps in the colon or rectum. Polyps are usually found with screening tests. Depending on the type of test, any polyps found may be removed during the tests.
Colorectal cancer usually does not cause symptoms at first. But regular tests can help find it early, before it spreads and becomes harder to treat.
Your risk for colorectal cancer gets higher as you get older. Experts say that adults should start regular screening at age 50 and stop at age 74. If you are at higher risk, your doctor may recommend you start screening before age 50 or continue after age 74. Talk with your doctor about your risk and when to start and stop screening. You may have one of several tests.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse call line if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
The following guidelines are for adults who are not at high risk for colorectal cancer. You may have at least one of these tests as directed by your doctor.
If you are age 75 or older, you can work with your doctor to decide if screening is a good option.
Talk with your doctor about when you need to be tested. And discuss which tests are right for you.
Your doctor may recommend earlier or more frequent testing if you:

Amigurumi look intimidating, but they're actually surprisingly quick and easy to make, even if you only know how to crochet a chain and make a single crochet. Don't believe me? I decided to make cat toys for some of my kitty friends for Christmas, and when the initial pattern I found had some confusing bits, I decided to just write my own. The best part is, this is made in one piece, so you don't have to sew anything together at the end (or worry about the seams unravelling). Grab your hook and let's get started!

Gusted Hall engagement shoot Hockley
This afternoon I made my way over to Gusted Hall Woods in Hockley for Elizabeth and Robert's Engagement Shoot. They had also bought along their dog Milo, who I photographed as a pup in the studio when he was younger!
As I pulled up to Gusted Hall I couldn't believe how busy it was over there! Luckily the crowds of people managed to avoid the spots that we chose for the photographs, and we basically had the woods to ourselves apart from the odd dog walkers passing by. This didn't phase Milo at all, all he worried about was his ball. A true professional model in the making there!
The Autumn leaves and gorgeous golden sunset made the perfect lighting and backdrop for the images, and 4 of my favourites can be found below!
Don't forget to leave a comment with your thoughts on the photos in the comments box below.
To Elizabeth and Robert, I hope you enjoyed the pre shoot, and love the photos that I have shared with you so far. I cannot wait to be a part of your special day, thank you again for trusting me to play such an important role!

San Jose State's guards give Eagles pause
Fri., Nov. 12, 2010
Eastern Washington University's injury-plagued men's basketball team opens its 2010-11 season tonight at Reese Court against San Jose State.
Tipoff, in the first game of a men's-women's doubleheader, is set for 5:35. The Eagles, who are not only short-handed in the backcourt, but short as well, face some difficult matchup problems on the perimeter.
SJSU, which finished 14-17 overall and 6-10 in the Western Athletic Conference last winter, returns a pair of tall, talented and battle-tested guards in seniors Adrian Oliver and Justin Graham, who both stand 6-foot-4.
"Those are two big guards who can both post up anywhere from 12 to 14 feet out and then back a defender down," said Eastern head coach Kirk Earlywine, whose Eagles return only four players from last year team that finished 9-21 and 5-11 in the Big Sky Conference. "So, naturally, with the small guards we have, that's a big concern."
Oliver finished fourth nationally in scoring last year with an average of 22.5 points per game, while Graham averaged 9.4 points. Coach George Nessman's experienced backcourt duo will be operating against an EWU team that is coming a pair of exhibition losses to NCAA Division II opponents and still without the services of sophomore point guard Glen Dean, who is expected to be sidelined at least a couple of more weeks with a stress fracture in his foot.
Earlywine said first-year JC transfer Cliff Colimon, the Eagles' only other point guard on scholarship, is "extremely doubtful" for tonight's game after spraining an ankle on Sunday.
That leaves only 5-11 sophomore Kevin Winford and 5-10 sophomore Jeffrey Forbes available to deal with Oliver and Graham – although 6-5 freshman wing Geoffrey Allen, the son of former UCLA and NBA star Lucius Allen, has been cleared to play after suffering an early-season hand injury.
Initially, Allen was thought to have broken a bone in his shooting hand, but once the swelling subsided it was learned that the hand was just severely bruised.
"I expect him to get on the floor," Earlywine said of Allen, who had established himself as one of the Eagles' most consistent outside shooters prior to getting hurt. "But he hadn't shot a basketball again until Wednesday, so it remains to be seen how effective he'll be."
Eastern's women's team will face Cal State Fullerton in the second game of tonight's Reese Court doubleheader, with tipoff expected to take place at approximately 7:30.

Nearly a week elapsed between the discovery of an anthrax-tainted letter in U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle's (D-S.D.) office in the Hart Senate Office Building and testing at the Brentwood Road postal facility that handles all mail for the District. In that time, two D.C. postal workers fell ill and eventually died of inhalation anthrax. And hundreds, even thousands more people were potentially exposed, people now being treated with antibiotics. Had the investigators combating this latest round of terrorism thought to test the facility sooner, those two workers may have received treatment for the disease that could have saved their lives. The delay in environmental testing in USPS facilities needlessly put the public and postal workers at risk.
Anthrax is not passed through person-to-person contagion but results from contact with anthrax bacteria or bacteria spores. These spores are unusually hardy crystallized forms of the bacteria that can live in contaminated soil for decades and withstand temperatures and conditions normal bacteria cannot. This means a contaminated surface in a mail processing facility can pass those spores on to other pieces of mail or to workers handling the mail. A contaminated letter can slough off spores onto other letters.
The spores are incredibly tiny, just a few microns in size. By comparison, grains of talcum powder are 30 to 40 microns. While experts believed envelopes containing anthrax first had to be open for the bacteria to spread, they were wrong. According to CNN, the pores in most paper are much larger than the anthrax spores – about 100 microns – meaning anthrax in a tainted envelope comes through the paper of the envelope itself.
This is information that was available when the first letter arrived at Daschle's office, but is now coming to light. Health officials did do a lot of things right by activating the national pharmaceutical stockpile, sending teams of specially trained doctors to infection sites and widely distributing antibiotic medication. But perhaps investigators asked the wrong questions at the beginning of the outbreak and missed key information regarding the route the tainted letters took. Regardless, more thorough and comprehensive planning for anthrax and other forms of biomedical attacks in the District is needed.

Homepolish designer Ariel Okin grew up surrounding by fabrics and furniture thanks to her mother's career as an interior design. It took Ariel some time exploring different paths before realizing interior design was her calling as well. She says, "I was working in a completely different field out of graduate school, yet I noticed I was spending more time reading shelter magazines and perusing Pinterest than anything else. I came to the realization that if I did something that I loved every single day, it wouldn't feel like work – and I was right!"
Today she's sharing a project she recently completed on New York City's Upper West Side. Her client is a young art collector who focuses on work by up and coming artists, including Ian Davenport and Julie Blackmon. She says, "They wanted clean, classic and sophisticated vibe with some small pops of prints, art and interesting textures." Plus, with a baby on the way, Ariel had to design a home that would be family friendly. One of the largest challenges, says Ariel was "finding the exact right piece of art for over the sofa took a while – and to the client's credit, she found it on her own!"
See the home (and that art!) in the slideshow!
