Bethany Brant is the daughter of a preacher, but she finds it hard to live up to her fathers high expectations for her, especially with her natural bent for finding trouble.
When Bethany and her younger brother, Abel, are sent to live with relatives after their mother dies in childbirth, the plucky eleven-year-old tries to act like a minister’s child is expected to—she helps around the farmhouse with the endless chores; uncomplainingly tutors her tomboy cousin, Mattywill, in reading; and agrees to be the angel in the Christmas pageant to help raise money for her father’s church, even though she hates the thought of flying across the stage on ropes. But sometimes being truly good just is not possible. Wouldn’t even the best-behaved preacher’s daughter be sorely tried if her resentful cousin put frogs in her bed, or if she found out that the man in charge of raising the church money ended each of his fund-raising campaigns in the nearby saloon?
Set in turn-of-the-century rural Texas, Behave Yourself, Bethany Brant is by turns hilarious and touching, and always entertaining. Bethany is one of Patricia Beatty’s spunkiest and most human heroines, and her story will long be remembered by readers.
Beatty is noted for feisty heroines in carefully researched novels set in frontier America. Here, Bethany, doing her best to conform to her preacher father’s expectations, may seem at first like a new departure; but the way she follows her conscience demands a special, courageous independence, much in Beatty’s usual vein.
When Mama dies in childbirth, Pa takes Bethany and Abel to stay with relatives on a Texas ranch while he becomes a circuit rider. Since tomboy cousin Mattywill prefers outdoor work, Bethany is left to help Aunt Revs with housework and the baby. Uncomplaining but pining for the outdoors, she is repeatedly cast by adults as the good gift and, inevitably, is resented by Mattywill and the other children in school.

Shea butter is one of the world’s most superior moisturizers and skin conditioners. Although shea butter is edible and has been widely used in food preparation in Central Africa, it is widely used in cosmetics, salves, lotions, soaps and hair products to hydrate, heal and beautify.
Unrefined shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African karité tree which grows wild on the savannahs of West and Central Africa. It is naturally rich in a number of vitamins including Vitamins A, E, F and K. These vitamins are known to balance and normalize the skin keeping it clear and healthy, have soothing and hydrating properties, and act as a skin protector and revitalizer.
1. Massage into dry, cracked or chapped skin in need of moisture, especially on tougher areas such as elbows, knees & heels.
2. Massage into hair and scalp for a deep conditioning treatment.
3. Mix with your favorite essential oils to create your own custom moisturizer.
4. Apply on hands, nails and cuticles for softening.
5. Use as a balm for chapped lips.
6. Put some around hairline before color application to protect skin from stains.
7. Use a small amount to set eyebrows.
8. Use as a soother to calm dry itchy skin after a day in the sun.
9. Rub some between hands to warm up, and use as a massage balm for fatigued muscles and joints.
10. Use on baby’s bum to prevent diaper rash.
11. Rub on pregnant belly to reduce appearance of stretch marks.
12. Apply on fading scars and burns to help them heal.
13. Use on roots of fine hair to boost volume.
14. Drop a few tablespoons in bathwater for extra moisturizing.
15. Mix with your everyday hair conditioner for a deeper, more nourishing treatment.
Sunfood Superfoods is a brand of unrefined shea butter which I highly recommend. It’s vegan, raw, non-GMO, and a wild-crafted sustainably harvested shea butter. Since it’s produced by a women’s cooperative in Ghana, it helps bring some economic stability to the villages, and gives the women economic power that they didn’t previously have. Sunfood Superfoods Shea Butter can be purchased on their website, on Lucky Vitamin, or on Amazon.
There are several other products I have been using and loving containing shea butter, although these products contain other ingredients as well.
Shea Moisture’s Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Restorative Conditioner delivers on its promise to “heal, grow & strengthen” dry, damaged hair. I love these all-natural, sulfate-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free vegan hair products because they truly moisturize and clean my overly-processed highlighted hair. Not only do they contain other rich ingredients such as Sea Kelp and Argan Oil, but they’re color-safe too!
You can purchase Shea Moisture’s Raw Shea Butter Hair Products at various retailers including Whole Foods and Target, or online at Amazon.
I am a huge fan of Nubian Heritage’s African Black Soap, and Nubian’s Raw Shea Butter Soap is another great option for me as a facial soap. This soap has a lovely mild scent, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished without any drying effects. I love many of Nubian Heritage’s products, but not all of them are vegan; so make sure to read each product’s ingredients carefully. Luckily, Nubian’s Raw Shea Butter Soap is vegan, and is made with other ethically traded ingredients including cocoa butter, coconut oil, soy milk, frankincense and myrrh.
Nubian’s Raw Shea Butter Soap can be purchased in various health food markets, at Whole Foods, or online at Vitacost.
Kiss My Face Lavender Shea Moisture Shave is another great product containing shea butter as one of its ingredients. Using a shaving product is new to me (I settled for soap), and I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth my legs felt after using this lotion for the first time. I have very sensitive skin, but this moisturizing formula with shea butter, soothing aloe and olive oil (plus other botanicals) gave a really great shave.
Kiss My Face Lavender Shea Moisture Shave is free of parabens, artificial colors, preservatives, and animal ingredients. I purchased mine at Whole Foods, but it’s also available on the website of Kiss My Face, or online at The Vitamin Shoppe.
Although I have been using ShiKai’s All Natural Hand & Body Lotion in Honeysuckle for many years, there are many other varieties to choose from. This soothing product provides a soft and silky feeling after application because it’s made with shea butter, aloe, borage oil, and other moisturizing natural ingredients. I’m happy to report that it’s also vegan and certified organic.
You can purchase ShiKai’s products at various retailers, including Fairway Market, Whole Foods, or online at Amazon.
I hope you enjoyed hearing all about shea butter and some of my favorite everyday products. I’m always on the lookout for vegan, cruelty-free and clean “style & beauty” products, and you can be sure that I’ll keep you updated on any new finds (or old favorites).

Many people, including the Governor of the Reserve Bank, Glen Stevens, have pointed out that global pessimism has meant that Australians currently see the glass as half empty rather than half full. This is, of course, despite Australia being relatively spared from the worst of the economic downturn so far. It is also the case in medical research, where there is widespread, and understandable, concern about future levels of funding remaining flat while costs continue to climb. However, it is important to recognize and celebrate the many good pieces of news we have had recently that are covered in this issue of The Edman.
We have previously reported our extremely good success rate in NHMRC grants in 2011 and this will continue to support us over the coming 3-5 years. We also have strong philanthropic support. Recently this has included receiving half the proceeds of the Susan Alberti Medical Research Foundation Signature Ball that raised $450,000 altogether, as well as several grants from a number of Trusts and Foundations, including the new 5Point Foundation. The latter is especially pleasing because it represents a new generation of charitable giving, with the Trust’s Founders being a group of successful business people in their early 40’s.
A further recent exciting event was the publicity associated with the description of a computer simulation of rhinovirus bound to a drug currently in human clinical trials. Rhinovirus is major cause of the common cold. This work was led by our Structural Biology Unit, headed by Michael Parker. A highlight of this work was its collaborative nature – including scientists at SVI and the biotech company Biota using the Australian Synchrotron at Clayton and by scientists from IBM and the University of Melbourne using the new IBM supercomputer recently installed at the University.
Another recent highlight was the award of an honorary Doctor of Laws to our esteemed John Holt Fellow, Professor Jack Martin. This recognition for Jack from his alma mater was a reward for a lifetime of achievement and a remarkable international reputation for research into diseases of bone. Other St Vincent’s campus alumni whose contribution was celebrated included Sir Peter Morris and Sir Marc Feldmann, both of whom have spent much of their careers in the UK. We are extremely fortunate to have Jack remain whole-heartedly involved in research at SVI: his presence is the best encouragement we can give to young researchers considering a career in medical research.
It is clear that gloomy global attitudes have not affected the performance of our researchers, who continue to work to find solutions for common disease that have serious effects on our health. Despite concern around future funding, we too should strive to see the glass as half full and when we have the chance make our voices heard about the value of medical research for the future health of Australia.
Steve Harris knew something was up when, the day after a bit of horseplay with his son, he saw a hand print-shaped bruise on his arm. “He was either the strongest 9 year old in the world, or there was something really wrong with me”, he says.
Steve spent the next four months dealing with a diagnosis of, and treatment for, acute promyelocytic myeloid leukaemia (APML).
More than eight years after his diagnosis, Steve’s chances of relapsing now approach those of anyone else in the male population contracting the disease.
Steve visited SVI with a group from the Leukaemia Foundation in August to hear about SVI’s leukaemia research program, funded in part by the Foundation.
Steve was particularly interested to talk to Associate Professor Louise Purton, of SVI’s Stem Cell Regulation Unit, who has devoted a large part of her research career to investigating exactly what goes wrong in leukaemia and studying the pathways that can be exploited to treat it.
Louise explains that billions of cells are produced in our body each day, predominantly in the bone marrow. The non-blood cell types present in the marrow – collectively known as the bone marrow ‘microenvironment’ – help to control blood cell production from stem cells. Incomplete production or function of the different blood cell types, or problems arising in the function or composition of the non-blood cells that regulate blood cell production, can lead to disease.

SVI researchers Dr Nicole Walsh and Associate Professor Helen Thomas and PhD student Suang Suang Koid, were given the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in science at a function held by the Parliamentary Friendship Group of Women in Science, Maths and Engineering at Parliament House in June. Thrilled by the invitation from Kelly O’Dwyer MP, Federal Member for Higgins, PhD student Suang made sure to introduce herself to a number of the luminaries in the room, including keynote speaker, Nobel Laureate Professor Elizabeth Blackburn AO FRS.
Michael Parker has been awarded the Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists Award for Research Excellence. The Award is granted annually to a distinguished biochemist or molecular biologist, based on work carried out predominantly within the region.
PhD student David Ascher was one of 115 young Australians awarded a prestigious 2012 Churchill Fellowship. The Fellowships are designed to provide an opportunity for Australians to travel overseas to conduct research in their chosen field that is not readily available in Australia. David’s Fellowship will allow him to travel to the UK and Spain to further his research into structure-guided drug design to develop new treatments for cancer.
Professor Michael Parker hit the headlines recently, with a flurry of media interest into his work on rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold.
Along with his collaborators, Michael’s research has enabled the structure and motion of the complete human rhinovirus to be simulated in 3D, on Australia’s fastest supercomputer, paving the way for new drug development.
Rhinovirus infection is linked to about 70 per cent of all asthma exacerbations with more than 50 per cent of these patients requiring hospitalisation.
A new antiviral drug to treat rhinovirus infections is being developed by Melbourne company Biota Holdings Ltd, targeted to those with existing conditions to whom the common cold poses a serious threat to their health.
Michael and his team have been working on the newly installed IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer at the University of Melbourne with computational biologists from IBM and the Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative (VLSCI). The researchers are using information on how the new drug works to create a 3D simulation of the complete rhinovirus.
“Supercomputer technology enables us to delve deeper in the mechanisms at play inside a human cell, particularly how drugs work at a molecular level. This work offers exciting opportunities for speeding up the discovery and development of new antiviral treatments and will hopefully save many lives around the world,” he says.
a Doctor of Laws from the University of Melbourne.
Jack received the honorary degree for his significant contribution to and association with the University of Melbourne throughout his career.
Jack’s career spans more than five decades, and has notably included his directorship of SVI from 1988 to 2001. Determined to understand why some cancer patients developdangerously elevated levels of calcium in their blood, Jack’s research began in the pioneering time of the recombinant DNA revolution. His great contribution to science has been in the advancement of contemporary understanding of calcium- regulating hormones, extensively developing modern concepts of bone cell biology.
One of his most outstanding contributions was the cloning of parathyroid hormone-related protein, which contributed to the understanding of bone metabolism and disorders such as osteoporosis and cancer spread to bone.
We live in a dangerous world. If it were not for our powerful immune systems, the bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in our environment would make short work of us.
One of the most powerful elements of our defensive immune systems is the B cell. The Bcell produces antibodies when the body is subjected to infection. These antibodies either kill the infection-causing organism or make it prone to attack by other cells.
During development, B cells are sorted so that the body retains only those that will be effective. If this sorting goes wrong, and cells that recognise the body’s own tissues remain, autoimmune disease can result. Conversely, if too many cells are eliminated, the body’s immune system will not be able to destroy infectious agents. Recent research from SVI’s Molecular Genetics Unit has begun to explain how this fine balance is maintained.
The Unit has for some years focused on a protein called ASCIZ, which the group discovered whilelooking for genes that responded to DNA damage in yeast.
Subsequent research from the group has shown that ASCIZ is a surprising multi-tasker. While ASCIZ does play an important role in the way that the body repairs damage to DNA, which may be exploited to develop new cancer therapies, it is also essential for lung development in mice.
Associate Professor Jörg Heierhorst, his PhD student Sabine Jurado and colleagues have recently published a paper in the prestigious Journal of Experimental Medicine, showing that ASCIZ also has an unexpected role in helping to manage the development of B cells in the bone marrow during development.
of mice, the researchers were able to manipulate the number of B cells that developed.
He goes on to say that there are some rare cases of immune deficiency disorders in humans, similar to that seen in their mice. These disorders seem to affect B cells but not other immune cells, and the researchers plan to test if any of the patients with these disorders carry mutations in ASCIZ or DYNLL1.
While the group continues to focus on the potential of ASCIZ for improving cancer therapies, they will continue to examine the role of this surprising multi-tasker in immune cell as well as in lung development.
Are you curious to find out more about research at SVI? You are welcome to tour the laboratories, meet with our researchers and hear about the cutting edge of medical research into diseases that affect all Australians, including type 1 and 2 diabetes, heart disease, bone diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s Disease and cancer.
Tours take about an hour and can be tailored to suit your availability and interest in a particular disease.
In June, SVI examined the science of food, by hosting ‘Food Matters: You are what you eat,’ an exclusive evening for SVI 1000 Club members.
guests about current food trends, the Mediterranean diet and the effects of food on our health.
Tours of SVI ran before the event, giving guests an insight into the work that is being done into obesity and type 2 diabetes at the Institute.
All funds raised by the 1000 Club go towards the SVI Student Scholarship Fund.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the SVI 1000 Club, which currently has 400 members. Support from 1000 Club members has helped increase the number of SVI Student Scholarships that can be offered at the Institute. The Scholarships help support students undertaking PhD and Honours studies. SVI’s young students are committed to a career of painstaking investigation into the intricacies of disease and illness. Support to help them achieve their goals is much appreciated.

The evening was a spectacular success, raising in excess of $450,000 for research into type 1 diabetes, with 50 per cent of the funds raised directed towards SVI’s Islet Transplant Program. The remaining funds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Over 600 guests danced the night away to world-class performances by David Campbell, Chong Lim and his Big Band and The Aussie Boys.
Sue’s his 20 years of work researching type 1 diabetes and his shock at discovering three years ago that his 11 year old son Christopher had been diagnosed with the disease. This reinforced to guests the importance of supporting the vital research that SVI and JDRF are working on every day.
As the winner of the raffle, one lucky guest walked away with the keys to a 2012 Nissan Micro, while another successfully bid $9000 in the auction to secure the unique experience of a bike ride with Federal Opposition Leader, the Hon Tony Abbott MHR and the Hon Kevin Andrews MP.
SVI sincerely thanks Susan Alberti and her team for an unforgettable evening, an amazing fundraising effort and their ongoing commitment and support towards the Institute’s type 1 diabetes research.
Generous contributions from SVI supporters allow the Institute to offer student scholarships to the best and brightest Honours and PhD students. In 2012, the Program is supporting one Honours and nine PhD students.
The essential research funding awarded annually by the National Health and Medical Research Council does not pay for cutting edge equipment that is often necessary to carry out the research. Support from our generous donors and from Trusts and Foundations makes these purchases possible. Since June, we have received $241,649 worth of funding for equipment purchases from six successful applications to Trusts and Foundations, including Perpetual Trustees, the LEW Carty Charitable Fund and the Angior Family Foundation. These funds will help to purchase vital equipment for research into osteoporosis, arthritis and breast cancer.
SVI supporters at the recent ‘From the Lab to London’ breakfast raised $15,000 to help support vital research at the Institute into diseases that affect all Australians.
On the eve of the Olympics, over 170 guests braved a chilly Melbourne morning to gather in the Olympic Room at the MCG and celebrate elite performance at SVI’s ‘From the Lab to London’ breakfast.
A group of six Olympians spoke with emotion about the highs and lows of being an elite performer, drawing parallels between the motivation and talent needed to perform at sport’s highest level as an athlete with that of elite medical researchers. Taking part were Olympians John Landy AC, CVO, MBE (Running, 1952, 1956), Simon Baker (Walking, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996), Brett Maher (Basketball, 1996, 2000, 2004), Mark Turnbull OAM (Sailing, 2000), Matt Welsh (Swimming, 2000, 2004) and John Aloisi (Football, 2004), who entertained guests by sharing their Olympic experienceswith MC Leon Wiegard OAM (Water Polo, 1964, 1972).
SVI thanks its Major Event Partner, the Commonwealth Bank, Official Health Partner, Bupa and Community Partner, the City of Melbourne for their valuable contribution to this gold medal breakfast.

many people, including the governor of the reserve bank, glen stevens, have pointed out that global pessimism has meant that australians currently see the glass as half empty rather than half full. this is, of course, despite australia being relatively spared from the worst of the economic downturn so far. it is also the case in medical research, where there is widespread, and understandable, concern about future levels of funding remaining flat while costs continue to climb. however, it is important to recognize and celebrate the many good pieces of news we have had recently that are covered in this issue of the edman.
we have previously reported our extremely good success rate in nhmrc grants in 2011 and this will continue to support us over the coming 3-5 years. we also have strong philanthropic support. recently this has included receiving half the proceeds of the susan alberti medical research foundation signature ball that raised $450,000 altogether, as well as several grants from a number of trusts and foundations, including the new 5point foundation. the latter is especially pleasing because it represents a new generation of charitable giving, with the trust’s founders being a group of successful business people in their early 40’s.
a further recent exciting event was the publicity associated with the description of a computer simulation of rhinovirus bound to a drug currently in human clinical trials. rhinovirus is major cause of the common cold. this work was led by our structural biology unit, headed by michael parker. a highlight of this work was its collaborative nature – including scientists at svi and the biotech company biota using the australian synchrotron at clayton and by scientists from ibm and the university of melbourne using the new ibm supercomputer recently installed at the university.
another recent highlight was the award of an honorary doctor of laws to our esteemed john holt fellow, professor jack martin. this recognition for jack from his alma mater was a reward for a lifetime of achievement and a remarkable international reputation for research into diseases of bone. other st vincent’s campus alumni whose contribution was celebrated included sir peter morris and sir marc feldmann, both of whom have spent much of their careers in the uk. we are extremely fortunate to have jack remain whole-heartedly involved in research at svi: his presence is the best encouragement we can give to young researchers considering a career in medical research.
it is clear that gloomy global attitudes have not affected the performance of our researchers, who continue to work to find solutions for common disease that have serious effects on our health. despite concern around future funding, we too should strive to see the glass as half full and when we have the chance make our voices heard about the value of medical research for the future health of australia.
steve harris knew something was up when, the day after a bit of horseplay with his son, he saw a hand print-shaped bruise on his arm. “he was either the strongest 9 year old in the world, or there was something really wrong with me”, he says.
steve spent the next four months dealing with a diagnosis of, and treatment for, acute promyelocytic myeloid leukaemia (apml).
more than eight years after his diagnosis, steve’s chances of relapsing now approach those of anyone else in the male population contracting the disease.
steve visited svi with a group from the leukaemia foundation in august to hear about svi’s leukaemia research program, funded in part by the foundation.
steve was particularly interested to talk to associate professor louise purton, of svi’s stem cell regulation unit, who has devoted a large part of her research career to investigating exactly what goes wrong in leukaemia and studying the pathways that can be exploited to treat it.
louise explains that billions of cells are produced in our body each day, predominantly in the bone marrow. the non-blood cell types present in the marrow – collectively known as the bone marrow ‘microenvironment’ – help to control blood cell production from stem cells. incomplete production or function of the different blood cell types, or problems arising in the function or composition of the non-blood cells that regulate blood cell production, can lead to disease.

svi researchers dr nicole walsh and associate professor helen thomas and phd student suang suang koid, were given the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in science at a function held by the parliamentary friendship group of women in science, maths and engineering at parliament house in june. thrilled by the invitation from kelly o’dwyer mp, federal member for higgins, phd student suang made sure to introduce herself to a number of the luminaries in the room, including keynote speaker, nobel laureate professor elizabeth blackburn ao frs.
michael parker has been awarded the federation of asian and oceanian biochemists and molecular biologists award for research excellence. the award is granted annually to a distinguished biochemist or molecular biologist, based on work carried out predominantly within the region.
phd student david ascher was one of 115 young australians awarded a prestigious 2012 churchill fellowship. the fellowships are designed to provide an opportunity for australians to travel overseas to conduct research in their chosen field that is not readily available in australia. david’s fellowship will allow him to travel to the uk and spain to further his research into structure-guided drug design to develop new treatments for cancer.
professor michael parker hit the headlines recently, with a flurry of media interest into his work on rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold.
along with his collaborators, michael’s research has enabled the structure and motion of the complete human rhinovirus to be simulated in 3d, on australia’s fastest supercomputer, paving the way for new drug development.
rhinovirus infection is linked to about 70 per cent of all asthma exacerbations with more than 50 per cent of these patients requiring hospitalisation.
a new antiviral drug to treat rhinovirus infections is being developed by melbourne company biota holdings ltd, targeted to those with existing conditions to whom the common cold poses a serious threat to their health.
michael and his team have been working on the newly installed ibm blue gene/q supercomputer at the university of melbourne with computational biologists from ibm and the victorian life sciences computation initiative (vlsci). the researchers are using information on how the new drug works to create a 3d simulation of the complete rhinovirus.
“supercomputer technology enables us to delve deeper in the mechanisms at play inside a human cell, particularly how drugs work at a molecular level. this work offers exciting opportunities for speeding up the discovery and development of new antiviral treatments and will hopefully save many lives around the world,” he says.
a doctor of laws from the university of melbourne.
jack received the honorary degree for his significant contribution to and association with the university of melbourne throughout his career.
jack’s career spans more than five decades, and has notably included his directorship of svi from 1988 to 2001. determined to understand why some cancer patients developdangerously elevated levels of calcium in their blood, jack’s research began in the pioneering time of the recombinant dna revolution. his great contribution to science has been in the advancement of contemporary understanding of calcium- regulating hormones, extensively developing modern concepts of bone cell biology.
one of his most outstanding contributions was the cloning of parathyroid hormone-related protein, which contributed to the understanding of bone metabolism and disorders such as osteoporosis and cancer spread to bone.
we live in a dangerous world. if it were not for our powerful immune systems, the bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in our environment would make short work of us.
one of the most powerful elements of our defensive immune systems is the b cell. the bcell produces antibodies when the body is subjected to infection. these antibodies either kill the infection-causing organism or make it prone to attack by other cells.
during development, b cells are sorted so that the body retains only those that will be effective. if this sorting goes wrong, and cells that recognise the body’s own tissues remain, autoimmune disease can result. conversely, if too many cells are eliminated, the body’s immune system will not be able to destroy infectious agents. recent research from svi’s molecular genetics unit has begun to explain how this fine balance is maintained.
the unit has for some years focused on a protein called asciz, which the group discovered whilelooking for genes that responded to dna damage in yeast.
subsequent research from the group has shown that asciz is a surprising multi-tasker. while asciz does play an important role in the way that the body repairs damage to dna, which may be exploited to develop new cancer therapies, it is also essential for lung development in mice.
associate professor jörg heierhorst, his phd student sabine jurado and colleagues have recently published a paper in the prestigious journal of experimental medicine, showing that asciz also has an unexpected role in helping to manage the development of b cells in the bone marrow during development.
of mice, the researchers were able to manipulate the number of b cells that developed.
he goes on to say that there are some rare cases of immune deficiency disorders in humans, similar to that seen in their mice. these disorders seem to affect b cells but not other immune cells, and the researchers plan to test if any of the patients with these disorders carry mutations in asciz or dynll1.
while the group continues to focus on the potential of asciz for improving cancer therapies, they will continue to examine the role of this surprising multi-tasker in immune cell as well as in lung development.
are you curious to find out more about research at svi? you are welcome to tour the laboratories, meet with our researchers and hear about the cutting edge of medical research into diseases that affect all australians, including type 1 and 2 diabetes, heart disease, bone diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis, alzheimer’s disease and cancer.
tours take about an hour and can be tailored to suit your availability and interest in a particular disease.
in june, svi examined the science of food, by hosting ‘food matters: you are what you eat,’ an exclusive evening for svi 1000 club members.
guests about current food trends, the mediterranean diet and the effects of food on our health.
tours of svi ran before the event, giving guests an insight into the work that is being done into obesity and type 2 diabetes at the institute.
all funds raised by the 1000 club go towards the svi student scholarship fund.
this year marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the svi 1000 club, which currently has 400 members. support from 1000 club members has helped increase the number of svi student scholarships that can be offered at the institute. the scholarships help support students undertaking phd and honours studies. svi’s young students are committed to a career of painstaking investigation into the intricacies of disease and illness. support to help them achieve their goals is much appreciated.

Council bosses have rubber-stamped the relocation of Birmingham Wholesale Markets – ending a three-year saga over their future.
The markets are to move to a purpose-built site in Witton, which will be completed next year.
The site will replace the current, 1970s building in Pershore Street in the city centre, the Labour-run council confirmed yesterday.
Deputy council leader Coun Ian Ward said an outline relocation package had been agreed with traders.
He said: “The new markets must be affordable for both the city council and the traders themselves.
Traders had supported the move to Witton as the best option available.
They initially pushed for the markets to be rebuilt in the city centre but the council ruled that out as unaffordable.
Opposition councillors were concerned the new facility would have only 90 units, against 270 units in the city centre.
But Coun Ward said the current site was vastly under-occupied and traders had been consulted over the numbers.
Stallholders were first given notice to quit the current site in the summer of 2010 and told to find a new location.
Liberal Democrat group leader Coun Paul Tilsley, who was council deputy leader at the time, said his administration had received “stones and arrows” from the public and media over the decision.
But Coun Ward hit back, saying the relationship between the council and traders had broken down when Labour took over the authority in 2012.
“We have now repaired that situation,” he said.
There will also be a major ad campaign to boost Birmingham’s retail markets, next to the Bullring, to lesson the impact of their key suppliers moving to Witton.

A tough little circuit, more regularly used for motorcycle racing, with a flat semi circuit on the summit, but the full route included a long descent before a short and brutal ascent back up to the top faced the field at the Scarborough Cycling Festival, hosts to another round of the Youth and Junior National Series.
Liv AWOL development rider, Lauren Higham, riding in her Welwyn Wheelers colours, gave the Liv AWOL team a real boost before their race by winning the Youth A Girls National Series round, with what seemed like a very calm and calculated race. Even on her 3rd and final climb up Scarborough’s mini Alpe d’Huez, unlike many of the field, I didn’t see her gasp for air once. An impressive win, and congratulations to Lauren from everyone in the team.
The junior women’s race was an exciting affair, but very challenging. Six times around the summit semi circuit, then six full laps – which meant six climbs! The first couple of laps were relaxed and controlled, with 15 riders starting off just before the memorial.
Really nice to hear one marshal on the course proudly announce the inclusion of local rider Hannah Bayes of Liv AWOL in the women’s junior race. After that, I had to confess my allegiance. Riding for Liv AWOL alongside Hannah were Connie Hayes and Rosie Wallace.
Hannah played it pretty cool while on the top circuit, while Connie and Rosie chased down any attack, and even attempted a few of their own. However, taking on the full circuit was inevitable.
The pace increased as they hit Mountside Hairpin for the first time, and the field started to split. Hannah maintained a consistent position in the middle over the first two full loops, while Rosie and Connie worked hard together to regain some distance lost after the effort they’d made up top.
By the fourth climb, Connie and Rosie were back with the bunch, and the gruelling pain of the uphill effort seemed to becoming easier. Afterwards, they confessed to have resigned themselves to the inevitable by this point. Each rider seemed to be finding their own way to reach the summit, but they endured, keeping in close proximity to the rest of the field.
Words of encouragement chalked into the climb may have helped.
And so with crowds cheering on from the side, all riders climbed the hill a sixth and final time, leaving a 300 yard sprint on the slight incline to the finish line for those that had any energy left. Hannah showed some local grit, and came in 7th overall, Connie 11th and Rosie just behind in 12th.
BigBobbleHats generously provided prizes to the whole Junior Women’s field to ‘cap’ off an end to a great day of racing.
As always, the team wish to thank Liv / Giant Docklands and AWOL London for all their support with this race and throughout the season.

SUMMARY: The aim of this study was to investigate the course of the supraorbital nerve and temporal branch of the facial nerve, and to verify the clinical security of cutting the frontalis muscle flap to treat blepharoptosis in one-third of the eyebrow. Twenty cadavers were dissected. The relationship of the supraorbital nerve and the course of the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve with the head and neck muscles was evaluated. Forty patients underwent clinical frontal muscular flap suspension surgery for the treatment of blepharoptosis. The postoperative curative and complication rates were determined. The courses of the supraorbital nerve and frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve were observed to determine a relatively safe area in one-third of the eyebrow. The average width of the zone was 25.0±3.5 mm. In forty cases, satisfactory results were achieved in correcting blepharoptosis by cutting the frontal muscular flap in the middle of eyebrow within the wide range of 17±2.1 mm. No secondary sensory and motor dysfunctions occurred. One-third of the eyebrow (eyebrow center, within 17±2.1 mm) was a relatively safe area and allowed for the prevention of damage to the temporal branch of the facial nerve inside the supraorbital nerve and supraorbital artery and the outer frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve.

Business people are frequently taken to foreign countries in the name of work, often for years on end. This presents a myriad of issues for financial planning that extends from your pensions to your personal saving account – drivers will have extra challenges to confront as they will need to get their car insurance sorted out. Here are a few steps that will help you make this transition without any hassle.
First of all you need to cancel all your insurance plans in your previous country, preferably before leaving. It is also worth investigating whether your insurance company or bank offers services in your destination country, this will allow you to transfer over seamlessly and pair you with a provider that you are comfortable with. That is the easiest solution of all.
If you are not able to stay with a familiar insurance company or bank you should look for large multi-national companies that have developed customer service. Insurance regulations in your new country may be quite arcane, or you may encounter significant linguistic difficulties – in these situations it always good to deal with a big company who are likely to be accustomed to dealing with foreign clients who only speak English.
Finally, you need to spend a bit more time investigating your options before committing to an insurance plan: there may be significant difference on issues like coverage, road side benefits and deductibles that might seem entirely foreign to you. By devoting a fair bit of time to some thorough research you should be able to find something that suits you well.
If you are living abroad for a long period of time a car may well be essential, especially if you are bringing your family – just make sure you get the right insurance plan or it could end up being a bit of a hassle.

HRC released the following statement on the victories of HRC-endorsed candidates Tammy Baldwin in the U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin, and Tony Evers capturing the governor’s office.
HRC has prioritized investments and organizing in Wisconsin for more than a year, and had 17 staff on the ground in the state as part of the largest grassroots expansion in the organization’s 38-year history. In Wisconsin this year, HRC members and supporters completed over 1,480 volunteer shifts. In the final four days of GOTV alone, our staff and volunteers knocked on over 11,300 doors. Members and supporters also sent over 52,00 text messages to voters in the final weeks with voting resources. Since launching, we've helped over 1,500 Wisconsinites register to vote by mail, online, and at in-person events. HRC hosted 22 Equality Action Academy trainings to give HRC members and supporters the tools they need to take action locally in legislative advocacy and in support of pro-equality candidates. Working with scores of partner organizations, HRC also led field organizing efforts around the state to mobilize voters in support of HRC-backed, pro-equality champions who will fight for LGBTQ rights, and for the rights and welfare of all Wisconsinites.
HRC’s Equality Votes PAC ran several ads in Wisconsin, educating voters on Leah Vukmir’s record and why Tammy Baldwin is the clear choice for Wisconsinites. HRC sent over 580,000 pieces of GOTV mail to Equality Voters and reached over 372,000 with our digital advertising campaign generating over 4.9 million impressions.
Governor-elect Evers has unseated heniously anti-LGBTQ Governor Scott Walker, whose dangerous record includes supporting Wisconsin’s constitutional amendment banning marriage equality, vetoing a bill to provide domestic partner benefits to workers and attempting to kill a domestic partner registry. He supports banning qualified transgender people from serving in the military, saying he “wouldn’t change” the Trump-Pence administration’s unconstitutional policy. Walker also rejected Medicaid expansion under Obamacare and supported repeal of the entire law, which could have stripped health care from millions of Wisconsinites -- including the 2.4 million Wisconsin residents with a pre-existing condition.

I’ve just added a new playlist of the videos I made in Madeira earlier this year. There are 5 short films so far, and I may add one or two more in due course.
A diamond-shaped sea-cliff escarpment ranging from 560 metres (1,840 ft) to 589 metres (1,932 ft) above sea level, Cabo Girão lies between two river-valleys that flow into the Atlantic Ocean. The escarpment/cliffs extend approximately one kilometre in length and the cliff reaches from approximately three kilometres between the urban sprawl of Câmara de Lobos and the river-valley of Quinta Grande.
Although brochures explain that it is the highest cliff in Europe, at least five European cliffs (Hornelen at 860 metres, Cape Enniberg at 750 metres, Vixía Herbeira at 613 metres, Preikestolen at 604 metres and Slieve League at 601 metres) are higher.
There are terraced fields (Fajãs de Cabo Girão) located below the shear cliffs, and were at one time only accessible by boat. In August 2003, a cable car was installed on the slope of the cliff so farmers can reach these low-lying fields.
The playlist is here. I also took a lot of photos (as usual) of this spectacularly mountainous jewel of the Atlantic.
