Unbiseptium , also called eka-americium, is the hypothetical chemical element with atomic number 127 and symbol Ubs. It comes immediately after unbihexium, element 126, which is expected to be the most stable element on an island of stability. Naming The name unbiseptium is a systematic element name, used as a placeholder until its discovery is confirmed. Transuranium elements beyond californium are always created artificially, and the element usually ends up being named for a scientist or a laboratory that does work in atomic physics. Synthesis of unbiseptium Unbiseptium has had one failed attempt at synthesis in 1978 at the Darmstadt UNILAC accelerator by bombarding a natural tantalum target with xenon ions. + - + - Related pages Unbihexium-Unbioctium

Illinois Hunter Takes 30-point Doe Richard Lomas of Mount Erie, Ill. was hunting near the Little Wabash River in Southern Illinois when he scored on a wild-looking 30-point non-typical whitetail—what he figured was a buck of a lifetime—until he discovered it was missing the plumbing necessary to fully qualify as a male of the species. Lomas tells the Evansville Courier Press he has been offered thousands of dollars for the atypical mount from outdoor outfitters like Bass Pro and Cabela’s. He hasn’t made up his mind yet on what to do with the strange doe.

NO SPIRIT x fika Release 'Better Now (ft. RickyAtoms)' Single UK label Absent Mind present their latest soul-drenched collaborative single to be released on March 29th, as No Spirit team up with London duo fika on the new single ‘Better Now’, featuring US vocalist RickyAtoms. Having already made an appearance on Absent Mind with their single titled ‘High', fika now bring No Spirit in to the fold to contribute to the label’s growing catalogue. No Spirit are an illusive group of musicians with a pure desire to make music that unites through melding influences from across the globe in to a style all of their own. The creative output of this collaboration has yielded the effortlessly warm ‘Better Now’ , a languid yet expressive sound, blurring lines between lo-fi hip hop and hook-driven rnb production. RickyAtoms’ rolling vocals collide with the low-slung, blissful beat and nuances of guitar to allow the sun-soaked vibe of the release to shine through. "'Better Now' is a bittersweet song, reminiscing about the best parts of a relationship but ultimately knowing it would never work and that you're both better off apart." - No Spirit, fika, RickyAtoms 'Better Now (ft. RickyAtoms)' is available via Absent Mind from March 29th. fika No Spirit RickyAtoms
Key generation is the process of generating keys for cryptography. The key is used to encrypt and decrypt data whatever the data is being encrypted or decrypted. Modern cryptographic systems include symmetric-key algorithms (such as DES and AES) and public-key algorithms (such as RSA). Symmetric-key algorithms use a single shared key; keeping data secret requires keeping this key secret. Public-key algorithms use a public key and a private key. The public key is made available to anyone (often by means of a digital certificate). A sender will encrypt data with the public key; only the holder of the private key can decrypt this data. Since public-key algorithms tend to be much slower than symmetric-key algorithms, modern systems such as TLS and its predecessor SSL as well as the SSH use a combination of the two in which: One party receives the other's public key, and encrypts a small piece of data (either a symmetric key or some data that will be used to generate it). The remainder of the conversation (the remaining party) uses a (typically faster) symmetric-key algorithm for encryption. The simplest method to read encrypted data is a brute force attack-simply attempting every number, up to the maximum length of the key. Therefore, it is important to use a sufficiently long key length; longer keys take exponentially longer time to attack, making a brute force attack invisible and impractical. Currently, commonly used key lengths are: 128-bits for symmetric key algorithms. 1024-bits for public-key algorithms. Key generation algorithms In computer cryptography keys are integers. In some cases keys are randomly generated using a random number generator (RNG) or pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), the latter being a computer algorithm that produces data which appears random under analysis. Some types the PRNGs algorithms utilize system entropy to generate a seed data, such seeds produce better results, since this makes the initial conditions of the PRNG much more difficult for an attacker to guess. In other situations, the key is created using a passphrase and a key generation algorithm, using a cryptographic hash function such as SHA-1. Related pages Distributed key generation: For some protocols no party should be in the sole possession of the secret key. Rather, during distributed key generation every party obtains a share of the key. A threshold of the participating parties need to work together in order to achieve a cryptographic task, such as decrypting a message.
hey blizzard do u think for once u can make a good looking hunter tier? hey blizzard do u think for once u can make a good looking hunter tier? Personally I really like the look of T-5.. With all the options with Transmog, I don't know many hunters who use or would use full tier looks even if they were better.. I have more concerns about getting decent set bonuses.. I agree with the OP. I play a tauren hunter, and imo there's only one tier that looks decent on him. T12 heroic (Firelands heroic), without helmet. looks like this. Sillicis : I like it =) I'd never take the Hyjal eyeball set off my hunter anyway. So they can continue making them as ugly as they like. t2, ulduar tier, firelands tier and s9 elite are all nice looking sets I really like the DS tier. im using dungeon set1 atm on my hunter (replica from DMF) also like t4 and t13 from DS (like wearing the dragon skull) The only thing that gripes me is....that stupid ugly boot model!!!! STOP USING IT!!!! I want the new boot model that came with WotLK, last time we had that model was T11 with the murloc tier. That model is sooooooo much better than any other the other models especially for mail. Oldschool T3 and T14 are extremely nice IMO......everything else? Mediocre to trash Whoever is doing most of PvP sets must teach the PvE people how to create a concept. Cataclysm had one PvE set that looked cool and one PvP set that looked like crap. Check on that. Check on how many people still love the Ulduar set for Hunters, you know, the one that looked like mail, not corpses tied together. Yeah, I did read some answers here, and Firelands is EXACTLY the set I was talking about as the ONLY cool Hunter PvE set in Cata. Needless to say the the last PvP was the crappiest one, after a whole streak of good-looking seasons. Last edited by Buu; 2012-12-27 at 02:13 AM. I actually like T12/13/15. T5/6 feels mediocre. The others are meh. I'm actually trying to get the shaman caster T12 heroic offset stuff, just needing the gloves and the chest. Omnipotent WCL \|\| Omnipotent Site - Support our streams! \|\| BTag:Slenderman#1355 \|\| Temporarily retired from raiding. Soon™. I like Tier6. The fact that I transmog everything into Shaman T6 look a like doesn't mean hunter tier isn't any cool.. We have a nice expression in Norway regarding this, which is "smaken er som baken" which basically means that it all comes down to personal preference. I like tier 4, 8 and 14. tier 6 makes me puke a little in my mouth whenever i see someone running around with it. Worst.. set.. ever..! The problem with hunters is they're 'stuck' with the AnimalHunter model and all we get is the same stuff over and over again, Skull of x-monster as a helm with brown and grey crap everywhere. Feels like other classes have more freedom of expression so to speak. i like tier 4 btw its too

In this episode of the Nonprofit Jenni Show podcast, I spoke with the head of Kindful's sales and marketing efforts to learn about the basics of donor segmentation, and how this segmentation can help nonprofits generate more donations. He also told me how segmentation can support volunteer efforts, corporate sponsorships, and overall engagement with your nonprofit. Please note: I highly encourage you to listen to the You Need to be Segmenting Your. Bradley told me the main reasons nonprofits need to segment their supporters: - You don't want to confuse people by sending information to the wrong supporters. For example, if you're sending a "thank you" message to participants from your recent 5k, you don't want to ask everyone to become a donor if some of them already donate to your organization. The message may be confusing, and may also give the impression that you don't appreciate the donations they're already providing. - Segmenting helps you form a sales funnel to capture donor leads and encourage them to give more and more over time. - Segmenting allows you to send targeted messages to the donors who will care the most. For example, some donors may only be interested in your organization's end-of-year campaign. You don't want to fatigue these donors by sending them tons of messaging about programs they don't care about. - Your segmenting system can help you customize your "ask" to each donor. You can see their previous giving habits, types of email stories they like to open, and other information which helps you personalize the next donation ask you make. Bradley recommends finding about five segments you can send messages to. If you create too many segments, you'll spend too much time creating separate messages. He also says that most messages don't have to be completely rewritten for each segment--you can generally alter one or two phrases or sentences to make the message appropriate for each recipient group. Be sure you listen to the full podcast episode to hear Bradley's tips on using segmenting to increase your donations and sponsorships!
The tongue is the fleshy muscle inside the mouth. A tongue lets us taste because the top of the tongue is made mostly of taste buds. It also helps the process of mastication by mixing food with saliva. It is very flexible, so it also helps us eat and talk. The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body. Tongue rolling Some people can roll their tongue into a tube. The reason why some people are able to and some are not is because of genetic inheritance, meaning that it is based on whether their parents are able to do it. Many schools use tongue rolling as an example of a genetic trait. People who can roll their tongue can sometimes make a high pitched sound by blowing through their rolled tongue.
Corn has been on the healthy food lists for some time now, and it is truly beneficial for the human health. However, corn silk, the texture covering the corn itself is even more recommended for nutrition and should never be disposed of. The strands located beneath the green corn leafs is what you need to keep your health in excellent condition. It is easy to spot, and even easier to pull out and consume. If you haven’t been introduced with the health benefits that corn silk provides, read on to learn them: Here are some of the amazing benefits of corn silk: 1. Protects Against Kidney Stones Ancient people had always used corn to treat kidney stones. Corn silk has the ability to prevent crystals from forming inside the kidneys. However, if you already suffer from kidney stones, corn silk will not be effective. 2. Blood Clots Prevention: Due to its high vitamin K content, corn silk helps with treating blood clots and protects the body from losing blood at the same time. The main substance that helps with this is, of course, vitamin K. 3. Regulates Blood Sugar: Many studies have confirmed the beneficial influence of corn silk in regulating and balancing the blood sugar levels. By increasing the insulin levels and repairing unhealthy pancreas cells, corn silk is more than favorable for your health. 4. Cholesterol Balance: Elevated cholesterol levels in the body can be easily treated by consuming corn silk. This also implies many other cardiovascular diseases- corn silk is the key! 5. Natural Diuretic: Excess fluids and body toxins will be eliminated from the organism of corn silk is used regularly. Along with this, corn is able to protect the body from different Urinary tract infections (UTI). Consumption and use You can eat it just as provided. Also, you can boil water with silk corn in it and drink hot or cold. To enrich the taste, you can add lemon juice. Its water can be stored in a jar and exposed to direct sunlight for one day. The same night, add honey to the water and consume as you need it. The consumption of corn entails using organic corn, instead of pesticide sprayed. IMPORTANT: Corn silk is not recommended for pregnant women. If you want to start consuming it, consult your doctor, so you avoid health problems, including miscarriage.

The lively was going to take some work. By the time I did get my Arabian horse into the arena, they were working on decorating the gazebo in center ring. Legs is used to trucks and horse trailers so that kind of commotion didn't bother him one bit but some of the Morgan horses in there for schooling didn't know what to think of vehicles in the arena. Legs still had not resolved his belief there were trolls living somewhere inside that building. Maybe they were living amongst the truck and trailer but on the rail, in the bleachers was a different story. His reactions were smaller than our previous schooling but it was obvious the horse wasn't over "it." I was able to do lots of stretching before we even began any collected work. Legs didn't resist dropping his head for anything other than maybe getting a better glimpse at another horse. I was relieved to see we'd reached that point in an arena I believe is the scariest one in our area. Riding amongst the Morgan horses gave me a more accurate look at the differences between how these horses are shown next to the Arabians. The Morgan western horses are higher headed and allowed to be on a rein with much more contact than the Arabs. Also, the rate of each gait is much slower for Arabian horses. Morgan horses at the lope were lapping us right and left. While it's true that Legs is now slower than most Arabian horses as well, the Morgan horses going by us were noticeably faster than what the Arabians would have been. I realized as I watched had I been training my own Morgan horse, I would have reached my goals (at least at this level) much sooner because these horses are not required as much collection as an Arabian horse might be. Guess for me, that's been one of the reasons I've wanted to show Arabian horses all along. I love the challenge presented by the added collection of the Arabian horse. Over my twenty years of showing I have seen the number of trainers able to attain this goal rise from just a select few to a much greater number. Sure there are still those Arabian horses that are not truly carrying themselves, trying to act like it's the same thing, but the number who are actually "getting it" has risen dramatically. My ride did not last long. My horse settled in quickly. I was able to work on getting the horse just a little rounder as well as working on that issue Legs has sometimes dropping his shoulder at the lope. It was the first time since the Daffodil show that I'd actually gotten the chance to push forward in our training. It was a good feeling. Even with the drag before schooling began, I noticed the rail was better but I wasn't sure it was going to hold up to performance classes. There would be a lot more stress to that footing on the rail with more horses travelling over it than the solitary and more circular warm-ups of the dressage riders. I was going to have to get with the fairgrounds crew to see what we could do to improve this situation. Since this was probably the only evening of the show there weren't going to be evening classes, I made arrangements for someone on the show crew to monitor the night's schooling so I could get probably my last dinner of the week and on to bed early. Before I left the fairgrounds I talked with the maintenance crew about the footing issue and we formed a plan of how to work the arena that night. I would check it in the early morning to see how it turned out. Then if it still needed more work, there would be time to get it done before the morning session started. To be continued.................. Footing and My Horse Sounds like you had everything going well. Hope the footing worked out and you and Legs had a nice ride in your classes. Guess we'll find out... Arlene, no classes for Legs and me. This was a breed show for Morgan horses. Legs was just there for schooling and as a stress reliever for me. every now and again.. you need a show where you can just "show and go"! well done gp I have to say I've noticed the collection thing too. We had a Morgan out of our barn go to a former Arabian trainer. After some time, she had his head a lot lower and actually, his head was a little too tucked. Anyway, showing at the Morgan shows he was much slower and steadier than his counterparts. He actually did/does very well much to my trainer's chagrain - lol. Perhaps the Morgan people will start following that same pattern. I do feel that the very succesful Morgan western horses tend to have a bit more animation at the jog though, in general. I know of a lot of Saddleseat horses that have been converted to western pleasure as well. Often times, they resemble a "parade" type horse. manker, you're right about that. JJ, last year there was an amateur I know well from the Arabian circuit showing a Morgan at this show. The judge didn't like the way his horse was going and told him so. However, I think maybe the horse was in a frame but not really using itself properly. This year an Arabian trainer who I know and respect showed several Morgan horses and pretty much won everything he was in, both hunter and western. The horses were definitely using themselves correctly so carrying themselves in a frame that was pretty and consistent. They were definitely more rolled over but not over bridled by any means. Lower for sure but based more on how each horse was built not necessarily dictated by a preconceived notion of how high or low a head should be. I suspect should he keep showing against the local trainers and winning some of them will follow suit to keep up. I know that's how the Arabs have evolved to where they are. Winning ribbons defintely affects the newest trends.

If anyone is still reading I am impressed and happy to know (so please toss in a comment!) Anyway, I am now living in Seattle and riding the King County Metro and Sound Transit System on an almost daily basis now. I must say, I’m impressed and unimpressed with some of the transit options up here, but it is at least as capable as TriMet. That makes Seattle a pretty rocking city. As always, I’ll now be blogging from up here, and of course blogging on trips down to o’ Portland too! So stay tuned and I’ll have blog entries a flowing again soon. Especially now that I actually have a commute again (Even though it is only about 25-45 minutes each way)! 🙂 I leave you with this hilarity (one of the things I do NOT find impressive, more or less just stupid) 56 Comments WOWOWOWOWOWOW! Your back? I got one better, because the 43 (Downtown to U-Dist) turns into a 44 (U-Dist to Ballard), trips on the 44 are pay as you leave from U-Dist, or pay as you enter towards U-Dist, even though the 44 as a route, never goes Downtown. Tho a recent Fare Invasion Study () shows 50% of operators want the RFA gone! Looks like the move was successful. I’m still reading! 😉 I was wondering what happening to you. Look forward to more of your insightful comments especially about Seattle since I love the city and have several friends that want us to move up there (and I do too). I’m alive, just some hosting issues. Back and kicking though. 🙂 Your back… Fantastic! I be reading. I’ve been looking for a while for a good read regarding Ah, Return of the Transit Sleuth. Searching in Google I managed to find your blog post. After reading this information I’m happy to say that I have a good feeling I found just what I was looking for. I will make sure to bookmark site and check it out on a constant basis. Thanks! 🙂 Other primary function matches on the day will see Michael Bisping, Dan Miller, Todd Duffee, Mike Russow, Diego Sanchez and John Hathaway participate to see, who can arrive out on top and be the encounter of the subsequent UFC tournament. I’ve been wondering what happened to your site. Wow, been hearing a lot of news about people moving to Seattle. Pay-as-you-leave? Didn’t Tri-Met used to do that a long time ago? I just couldnt leave your website before saying that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors… Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!

Retain up the excellent perform ‘cus I’ll be checkin’ up on you later on. You are on my radar now and I am curious to find out what’s up coming. I was’nt sure I would like this site since it was about Ah, Return of the Transit Sleuth but I was wrong and thought it was cool and found it on Ask . Thanks and I’ll be back as you update. Glad i discovered this web site.I added "Ah, Return of the Transit Sleuth" to my bookmark! very good!great post! Thanks! Now thats a good info. thanks a lot. Hi there, your writing is really strange but like it. I not completely agree with you and would like to see more karma here.Thanks you and see you soon on your blog.:) I Like your Blog Post. Do you have more Articles Like These in your Blog. Now thats what i call a good write up. Thanks for this valuable post. Keep it coming buddy. thanks for this great post I just tried to grab the feed for the RSS to this blog and I am not sure why, but it is not showing up in Google Chrome. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Good morning i’m just out surfing the WWW and your domain enjoyed our stay and wanted to say thanks Hope you have a good weekend talk to you later It is inspiring to hear of success stories like yours. You do give us hope that we can succeed as we all bring a unique mix of strengths and weaknesses to the party. Loved your article, keep writing You have a good point but I can’t help but wonder, what about the other side of the coin? Haven’t tried anything like that yet, but i might suggest for everyone to have little faith This site is amazing! I’d been worried, too. For several weeks, I saw an ASP error message when I tried to load up your blogs. In a bit of Portland news, on MetroRiderLA I’ve been running a simulation of the NBA Playoffs and now Finals. The only difference is that I compared the NBA teams by the transit systems in their respective cities. Portland did very well. The team that used to be the Seattle Sonics, not so much. Glad to hear you’re doing well, Adron. It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why Nice post! GA is also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much. Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you. I like what you have to say, but it seems like it’s all information I have heard at other places first. I guess it is nice to have lots of people say it in lots of different ways, just so anyone can understand. Superior entry I could spend all day reading articles like this as well as <a href=””>beauty blogs</a>.

Perched majestically 107 steps above Sylva, NC’s Main Street, the historic Jackson County Courthouse presided for nearly 100 years over this small mountain community and remains one of the state’s most photographed buildings. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serving as a courthouse for 80 years before being replaced by a new County Justice Center, Jackson County asked McMillan Pazdan Smith to author a feasibility study to evaluate the potential for restoration and possible alternative uses. The firm concluded the most appropriate use for this civic icon would be to renovate the existing structure into office, meeting and program space for local non-profit organizations including the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Arts Council and Historical Society and add a new two-story, 20,000 SF addition to house the Jackson County Public Library. McMillan Pazdan Smith’s complete restoration of the original architectural elements magnified the building’s historic grandeur, and it is a huge benefit for area citizens that this community structure has been preserved with a new mission.

LONGMEADOW – For most high school teams, regardless of the sport, it’s an absolutely sin to look ahead. But the Longmeadow High School field hockey team isn’t like most teams, and the Lancers have earned the right to look ahead. Coming off their first trip to a state final, coach Ann Simons and her team are already zeroed in on getting back to the Massachusetts Division I championship in 2010. And why not? Longmeadow returns six talented starters from last season, when the Lancers won the Western Massachusetts Division I title for the sixth time in eight seasons. “We have talented athletes as well as good kids,” said Simons, entering her 30th season. “If they are able to execute, I’d hate to be the other team. I guess we’re looking for consistency because the potential is there.” That potential stems from seniors Jackie Dunn, Stephanie Sabatini, Sara Brooks, Liz Holmes, Kara Freeman, Corey Hedges and Ciara Dudek, junior Emilee Herringshaw, and sophomores Kit Rosen and Meg Shea. Dunn, Sabatini and Brooks give the Lancers the most dangerous front line in the region. “We have a lot of offense, so we’ll be very strong there,” Brooks said. And that potential also stems from the team’s trip to the state championship in 2009. Longmeadow lost that game 3-0 to Acton-Boxborough, but the Lancers are determined to return and play at a higher level. “We had a great run at the state title last season, and going into this season we’re looking forward to having another shot at it,” Freeman said. “As a team, we have a lot of great returning talent and a lot of new talent and a lot of dedication. If we work really hard at it I think we have another good shot at it again.” Simons added, “I think they’re hungry enough. Last year they were very pleased to get to states for the first time, and I think this year they definitely want to get back and prove we’re a little better.” Longmeadow, which beat Westfield 3-0 in the regional final last season, opens its season Tuesday with a home game against Minnechaug Regional at 5:30. “We look very strong,” Sabatini said. “We have a lot of returning players. It’s our coach’s 30th year, so we’re hoping to go out there and make it to states and win it for her. We’re excited for the season to start and to get into the swing of things.”

We are currently running our '20FOR2020' promotion which, when you use this code at the point of checkout, gives you a 20% discount on your hire equipment. This equipment needs to be ordered, delivered and collected between Oct 1st 2020 and Dec 24th 2020. This promotional code cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotional code. The. Traditionally, Christmas Day is a joyous occasion where you invite members of your extended family around for Christmas dinner and to then to enjoy the rest of the day. Often, however, the problem is that you don't have enough equipment to be able to cater for the extended numbers. After all, your dining table for a start is probably not going to be able to accommodate around 10 people for example. Christmas table and chair hire, however, is certainly not a problem for Event Hire UK! Of course, much depends upon who you invite to your house, but if you've got a large family and you are inviting grandparents, aunts and uncles, for example, the numbers can soon mount up! This is where our rectangular trestle tables, oval tables and, to a lesser extent, our round tables come into their own. Most dining rooms in a home are rectangular-ish in shape and so it will always be easier to fit a larger rectangular trestle table or oval table into your dining room space than it is a round table! Have a think about guest numbers and hire a Christmas dinner table accordingly. Our range of tables for hire for Christmas at home are available in a number of different size options with larger tables of course being able to accommodate larger numbers of guests. If you hire a large trestle table, do be mindful that there are folding legs at each end, so there won't be a huge amount of leg room for the guests seated at each end! To accompany our tables, we also offer our range of linen such as tablecloths and napkins which are available in a number of different colour options. If you don't see the colour you want on our website, please don't hesitate to call one of our expert sales team who will be delighted to assist you in whatever way they can. Next, don't forget to hire chairs for Christmas at home so that you can comfortably seat everyone around the Christmas dinner table. We have a huge range of chairs for hire for Christmas at home such as Chiavari chairs, Napoleon chairs or even our high back Calcutta chairs for instance, with which you can choose your seat pad colour from our available range. Therefore, if you have a colour theme for your Christmas dinner table, you can match up your chairs and other tableware to this theme. Some people choose a gold theme, a silver theme or indeed a classic red and green theme so whatever you have in mind, choose from our available ranges that match up with that. Table and chair hire for Christmas has never been simpler than with Event Hire UK! At the same time, you may need to hire tableware for Christmas, as you might not have enough knives, forks and spoons for everyone and even if you did, you'll probably want to push the boat out with nice cutlery rather than using the cutlery that you use for the other 364 days of the year! Again, if it's a silver Christmas theme you have in mind, check out our polished stainless steel cutlery ranges such as Kings, Ellipse or Mercury, or if it's a gold theme then we offer Allure gold cutlery which is super-popular Christmas cutlery across the country. And it doesn't stop there! We also offer ranges of glassware hire for Christmas in keeping with your gold, silver or other colour theme such as our gold rimmed glassware or gold patterned rim glassware, with the identical ranges also in silver, and then more 'regular' ranges of glassware, all of which contain a white wine glass, red wine glass and champagne flute. If you're looking to hold a Christmas party in the run up to the big day, between Christmas and New Year or even for New Year's Eve itself, you might want to check out our range of speciality glassware such as cocktail glasses, shot glasses, Martini glasses, champagne coupes, pint glasses, water tumblers and other glassware which will surely be of use in large numbers. And finally, don't forget the crockery. To complete your table settings, why not check out our gold and silver beaded glass charger plates along with choosing from our extensive ranges of dinner plates, side plates, dessert bowls, soup bowls, cups and saucers to provide you with the complete range of Christmas crockery hire for that special day. If it's affordable crockery hire you're looking for, then check out our Lubiana crockery or Royal Doulton ranges that are on our website at a great price or if it's more upmarket you want to go, then our Martello crockery range, Mattone range, modern style coupe plates or even our coloured stoneware range are a great option to breally bring your Christmas dinner table to life! One of the most important things to bear in mind when deciding from where to source your tableware hire for Christmas is the condition. Here at Event Hire UK, all our tableware is machine washed, thoroughly checked and reliably counted to ensure that our clients receive the very best tableware right first time. This way, when your order arrives, you can simply put it straight onto your Christmas dinner table, safe in the knowledge that it is all there and that it is in pristine condition. Going one step back, of course, you've got all the prep in the kitchen to do in terms of storing the food, cooking the food and serving the food, so always try to visualise what you're going to need well in advance. Is your oven large enough to cook the big turkey? Have you got enough saucepans of a big enough size? Have you got serving platters on which you can serve your food at the table? The reality is that when it comes to Christmas catering equipment hire, our range here at Event Hire UK is also comprehensive, providing you with everything you could possibly need! If you do decide to hire catering equipment for Christmas at home, you'll find that an operating and safety guide accompanies your powered catering equipment and you must read this prior to use, for your own safe and efficient use of the appliances. We offer an affordable, nationwide delivery and collection service directly to and from your door, providing you with a seamless hire experience. That said, if you would prefer to collect your Christmas tables and chairs and other equipment yourself from one of our distribution centres, then you are more than welcome to do this to save any transport charges. Simply speak to one of our team to arrange a time and we'll help you load it into your car or van! Whether it's Christmas furniture hire London or elsewhere in the country, we can help! the occasions with your friends and family - after all, Christmas dining furniture hire has never been simpler! You can either place your secure order online 24/7 (but do so in plenty of time due to demand!) or, if you prefer, you can call a member of our expert sales team who will be delighted to discuss your requirements in more detail. Either way, we look forward to help you create the perfect family Christmas at home. Happy Christmas from us all here at Event Hire UK.
Maple (Latin name Acer ) is a genus of trees or shrubs. Sometimes they are put into a family of their own, the Aceraceae. At other times they are included in the Sapindaceae. To include them in the Sapindaceae is the more modern classification. There are between 100 and 200 species of maples. Most species are native to Asia, but some also occur in Europe, Northern Africa, and North America. The word Acer comes from a Latin word meaning "sharp". It was given because of the characteristic sharp points on the maple leaves. The first person to talk about the genus that way was French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort in 1700. The type species of the genus is Acer pseudoplatanus (the sycamore maple). ''Theophrastus began the daunting task of applying specific names to plants, such as the maple, which was previously called several different names by various communities in ancient Greece''. Seed dispersal The maple's distinctive fruit are called samaras, and known by many children as "helicopters" by the way they spin as they fall. Inside the fruit are found their seeds, which are in pairs. Each one is enclosed in a "nutlet" attached to a flattened wing of papery tissue. They are shaped to spin as they fall and carry the seeds a considerable distance on the wind. One tree can release hundreds of thousands of seeds at a time. Some seeds can remain in the soil for several years before germinating. What are maples used for? Maple trees are often planted as ornamental trees in cities. Some species resist the cold rather well. Sugar maples are grown to make maple syrup. Some maples are grown for timber (wood that is used for furniture). Symbolism The flag of Canada shows a maple leaf.

PHOTOS: See Inside Jessica Simpson's Wedding! While Kanye West and Kim Kardashian wed overseas on May 24, sources tell ET that Adam Levine will wed supermodel Behati Prinsloo in Cabo San Lucas this weekend, while George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are rumored to be tying the knot in Italy.

Another trend has been plenty of bridesmaids. Jessica Simpson notably had 12 bridesmaids who all got treated to a day of pre-wedding pampering. Watch the video for more.

Stop the Static and Humidify Your Air Published on December 28, 2016 This season, most homeowners are doing anything they can to keep their home warm and cozy. The problem is, the warmer your air, the drier. Not only can this cause issues with your health, like drying out your nasal passages or aggravating respiratory illnesses, it could also increase the static electricity in your home. Does any of this sound familiar? All American Air Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a solution: a whole-home humidifier! Not sure a whole-home humidifier is the ideal option for you? Take a look at these reasons why it’s worth the investment. Dry Air = Harder to Breathe As we said, dry air can dry out your nasal passages and aggravate respiratory issues. Adding a whole-home humidifier for your heating and cooling system can help clear your sinuses, moisturize your nasal passages, and improve your breathing. Healthy Air, Healthy You Like we said, adding moisture to the air is wonderful for your health. Whole-home humidifiers help reduce your risk of sickness since viruses and bacteria do not live in moist air. Silky Smooth Skin Do you go through way more moisturizing lotion in the winter? It’s because the dry air also dries out your skin, creating itchy, dull skin. Adding moisture with the help of a humidifier will help keep your skin smooth and prevent the dry, flaky skin that tends to arrive with winter. Sayonara Snoring Since humidifiers add moisture to the nasal passages and respiratory systems, they may also help decrease snoring and, in many cases, do away with it altogether. Ah, a good night’s sleep, finally! Luscious Lips Okay, you get it. Humidifiers put out moisture and that’s a way to improve your health. But it’s also a plus for your lips! Do you have cracked, peeling lips in the winter? Yes, you guessed it – a humidifier can help give moisture to those ruby reds. Save on Energy Bills A whole-home humidifier doesn’t just help your health – it helps your wallet. Adding moisture to the air usually helps your home feel warmer at a lower temperature, decreasing your heating costs. What could be better? Stop the Static The dry cold air can cause an increase in static. Is your family getting shocked more lately? A humidifier makes the air less dry and decreases your chance of being shocked at home. Smooth skin, healthy airways, and saving money? What’s not to love? To learn how you can save $50 on a new whole-home humidifier, call All American Air Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning at 386-310-2061 today and check out our Stop the Static video below.

The World Calendar is a variation of the of the Gregorian calendar. It was created by Elisabeth Achelis of Brooklyn, New York in 1930. Features The World Calendar is a 12-month, perennial calendar with 4 seasonal quarters. Each quarter begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. The quarters lengths are same: each has exactly 91 days, 13 weeks or 3 months. The three months have 31, 30, 30 days respectively. The World Calendar also has two extra days outside of the week to keep the new year days as same as the Gregorian calendar. Worldsday The last day of the year after 30 December. This day is named Worldsday. Leapyear Day The leap day after 30 June. This day is named Leapyear Day. Criticism The main critics of The World Calendar are the leaders of religions that worship according to a seven-day cycle. Jews worship on Saturday, as in the Hebrew Bible: "Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day" (Exodus 20:8). Christians worship on Sunday on which they believe Jesus was resurrected. Muslims worship on Friday on which they believe Adam was created. With the World calendar, their worship would change from year to year. So, the United Nations rejected the calendar.

NGC 300 (also known as Caldwell 70) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It is one of the nearest galaxies to the Local Group. It probably lies between that and the Sculptor Group. The galaxy is the brightest of the five main spirals in the direction of the Sculptor Group. It is at an angle of 42deg when viewed from Earth, and looks rather like the Triangulum Galaxy. It is 94,000 light years in diameter, somewhat smaller than the Milky Way, and has an estimated mass of (2.9 +- 0.2) x 1010 M. The distance of NGC 300 from us is about six million light years. Nearby galaxies and group information NGC 300 and the irregular galaxy NGC 55 are members of the Sculptor Group. This is a nearby group of galaxies in the constellation of the Sculptor. Recent measurements of their distance suggest these two galaxies are in the foreground. NGC 300 and NGC 55 probably form a gravitationally bound pair.

One of Ouachita’s greatest assets is its campus, a campus that has been built from the many capital gifts provided by our gracious benefactors. Since the 1970s, every building on campus has been constructed or renovated. This growth has distinguished the university as having one of the most beautiful campuses in the region. Most recently, capital gifts have enabled Ouachita to complete the Student Village, Hatcher Wrestling Complex, Cliff Harris Stadium at A.U. Williams Field and the Elrod Center for Family & Community. All of these and other capital gifts are a reflection of the generosity of alumni, friends and foundations. In many instances, Ouachita has honored those whose contributions were crucial to the success of particular projects by naming the projects for the donors. Capital gifts not only build buildings, they endow schools such as the: Other gifts such as the one that created the Katie Spear Pavilion and Gardens add beauty and areas of recreation for the campus. Without these capital gifts and others, Ouachita would not be the university it is today. Through continued support from capital gifts, Ouachita will continue to become a university that provides the highest quality Christian education available. For more information about capital giving, please contact vice president for development, Terry Peeples ([email protected]).
Mongolia sent people to compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Ganbold Batmunkh () will compete in para-Nordic skiing. He qualified by competing at the Para Nordic Skiing World Cup. Team In November 2017, Ganbold Batmunkh () was invited to go to the 2018 Winter Paralympics. The table below contains the list of members of people (called "Team Mongolia") that will be participating in the 2018 Games. Russian doping scandal 15 National Paralympic Committees and the International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation signed a letter expressing support for the National Paralympic Committee of Russia in August 2017. The countries included Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Laos, Moldova, Mongolia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Montenegro, and South Korea. They asked the IPC Governing Board to consider letting Russia compete at the 2018 Winter Paralympics. The letter was signed weeks before the IPC Governing Board met in Abu Dhabi. In September 2017, this decision was reviewed and upheld. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) still had concerns about doping in Russian sport. All the conditions the IPC required of the Russians were not met. Para-Nordic skiing Batmunkh competed at the 2014 Winter Paralympics. His best finish was fourteenth.

Article Text Abstract Persistent diarrhoea with mucus-production developed in a 37 year homosexual man, and an initial diagnosis of ulcerative colitis was made after barium enema examination and rectal biopsy. The patient later developed cutaneous lesions which proved to be Kaposi's sarcoma, and the bowel lesion was also subsequently shown to be Kaposi's sarcoma. This tumour occurred as a manifestation of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The patient was treated with alpha interferon, with partial regression of the skin lesions, but progression of the bowel tumour. Because of severe bowel symptoms, including episodes of subacute intestinal obstruction, the localised bowel disease was treated with radiotherapy. In view of the increasing incidence of AIDS, a diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma must be considered in homosexual men presenting with persistent diarrhoea, for which no infectious cause.

The scale insects are small bugs of the order Hemiptera. They are the superfamily Coccoidea. There are about 8,000 described species of scale insects. They are ectoparasites of plants, like most bugs. They sit on the outside of plants, stick their mouthparts inside, and suck up the plant sap. Adult female scales usually do not move: they are permanently attached to the plant they have parasitized. They secrete a waxy coating for defence. The coating makes them look like fish scales, hence their common name. Males and females are quite different form each other. This is sexual dimorphism. Female scale insects keep their juvenile shape even when sexually mature (a condition known as neoteny). Adult males usually have wings (depending on their species) but never feed, and die within a day or two. The details of their reproductive systems vary greatly between species. Three types of hermaphroditism are known, and at least seven forms of parthenogenesis. Their young, known as crawlers, lose the use of their legs if they are female, and stay put for life. Only the males keep their legs and use them in seeking females for mating. Pest control Many scale insects are serious crop pests. The waxy covering protects them from contact insecticides. However, scales may be controlled. Horticultural oils suffocate them, and systemic pesticides poison the sap of the host plants. Biological control agents such as tiny parasitoid wasps and Coccinellid beetles also work on them. Insecticidal soap may also be used against scales.

NEW YORK — In labeling artists as geniuses, we non-artists consign them to a special kind of idiocy. With the likes of Mozart, Virginia Woolf, and Picasso, the unspoken implication is so often: They can’t help themselves; the art just spouts out. If, in addition, the genius’s personality is awkward, or his personal life chaotic to the point of self-parody, it’s all the more tempting for us to segregate, infantilize, and quietly discount him. But who are we fooling? Picasso — a genius — was no idiot. He didn’t just have a knack for drawing, a native gift (although he clearly had that). He had an ability to combine that gift with a level of sustained and self-renewing intelligence that was frankly astonishing. You can see that intelligence on display in one of the great Picasso shows of recent decades (and oh boy, haven’t there been a few). “Picasso Black and White,” at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, surveys the Spaniard’s entire career. But it focuses on the work he made in shades of black, white, and gray. Lots of gray. It is not, as you might infer from the title, a show of drawings and prints. These are mostly large-scale paintings and sculptures, with ambitious drawings thrown in. The delights of painterly facture — surfaces clotted and pimpled one minute, swooshy and smooth the next — are abundantly evident throughout. The separate bays in the Guggenheim’s ascending spiral architecture ensure a stately pacing, so that each work is given the breathing room it deserves. Despite the limited palette, the interest never palls. Instead, amid all the stylistic pyrotechnics we have come to expect from Picasso, the connections between these works flare in the brain with kaleidoscopic brilliance.. And on that score, I can report, the received wisdom has it right: Picasso’s intelligence was not based — as it was for Matisse — in any special grasp of the properties of the color spectrum. He had some great moments with color. But it was not his forte, and in jettisoning this aspect, the Guggenheim’s experienced Picasso expert Carmen Giménez has distilled Picasso’s real genius, which was for drawing, modeling, assembling, and inventing in two and three dimensions. Picasso himself seemed to recognize this. The works he considered his finest, or most fruitful, he tended to keep for himself. An unusual proportion of these were in black and white. Many fell to his family after his death, and have rarely been seen by the wider public. Thus, the show benefits hugely from Giménez’s good relations with the Picasso family. A hefty proportion of the works has been lent by them, and will be unfamiliar to most viewers — which is reason alone to go out of your way to see the show. There are days when I, like everyone, find Picasso too cerebral, and too much the virtuosic showoff. I tell myself that he lacked emotional weight. But is that really right? The show leaves you in no doubt that the trembling, trance-inducing tension between two and three dimensions in Picasso plays into a wider human tension between seeming and being. The longer you look, the more this tension takes on an almost Shakespearean richness of connotation. “Color interests me less at the present time than ‘gravity’ and ‘density,’ ” Picasso said in 1954. Sticking to black and white helped him immerse himself in that interest, and the related questions of form, shape, and, for want of a better term, coming-into-being. Picasso was always asking, What is the relationship between touching, looking, and understanding? How does desire fit in? What does the force of one person’s desire do to the specific reality — the gravity and density — of the person desired? How far can you stretch a recognizable image into the realm of abstract signs without snapping the link? That black, in particular, connected with the sober coloring of the Spanish tradition — Velazquez, Ribera, Zurbaran, and Goya — was not by accident. (“The Maids of Honor,” the greatest of Picasso’s multiple riffs on Velazquez’s “Las Meninas” is one of the show’s highlights.) But white for Picasso was just as important. It was rarely just a starting point, an empty space to be acted upon. It was a color, and in pictures such as “Seated Nude” (1922-23), “The Lovers” (1923), “Olga in a Fur Collar” (1923), and “The Kitchen” (1948), he slathered it on liberally. Nor, as Giménez points out, were the connections between Picasso’s preference for black-and-white and photography entirely coincidental. He had interesting conversations with his friend the photographer Brassai about these links, and he surely thrilled to the magical relationship between negatives and positives in the photographic darkroom (Brassai himself was a master in the darkroom, converting day into night and night into day with Picasso-like glee). But Picasso also had his own “negative” reasons for favoring a limited palette: focusing on black and white and the many shades of gray in between allowed Picasso to explore his acrobatic experiments in form without the distraction of color, which always — for him — had an arbitrary quality. (“How many times, just as I was about to add some blue, did I notice that I didn’t have any!” he once told his friend Edouard Teriade. “So I took some red and added it instead.”) Picasso had no single black-and-white period, along the lines of his blue, rose, or neo-classical periods. Rather, as Brassai noted, periods of working with a bright palette would routinely be followed by “a sculptural period with little color, almost monochrome, as if his canvases had been painted from some fictive sculpture.” It’s a key observation. Most of the best works in this show — from the relatively conventional “Bust of a Woman, Arms Raised” (1922), who seems to shiver out of the frame and into our space, to the terrifyingly raw “Woman in Grey and White” (1941) — are like drawings of three-dimensional sculptures. Except that, upon closer inspection, so many of them sustain ambiguities of space that simply can’t be imagined in three dimensions. The reverse is true, too: There are sculptures, such as “Woman With Outstretched Arms,” from 1961, that are essentially flat planes folded into three-dimensional shapes, with outlines and cross-hatched shading superimposed, greatly complicating the way we read their existence in space. Picasso related drawing to sculpture in ways that do strange things to your physical awareness. The scale, for starters, is always surprising. Figures in smaller works seem to burst out of their frame. Body parts swell in relation to the whole (the hand in “Reclining Woman With Large Hand,” for instance) in ways that match, or heighten, both physical sensation and psychology. Planes and facets that the mind expects to see turning in space in one direction are shaded to suggest contradictory shifts of fiendish complexity. Outwardly, the notations can seem cartoonish. An arrow for the mouth. Triangles for ears. Four parallel curving lines for shading under the chin. But the spatial complexity — even in a simple portrait such as 1939’s “Bust of a Woman With a Hat” — is tremendous. And Picasso’s psychological acuteness (bitterness coexisting with anguish, stately dignity with stubbornness) matches the formal bravura, with results of devastating immediacy. Again and again, you’re left feeling pried open like a piece of origami, pulled inside out like an old jacket, freshly reassembled like a wonky mechanical toy. Many of Giménez’s pairings are simply brilliant. “Head,” for instance, a disk divided into two halves, one black, one white, with crude, characteristically ambivalent signs for eyes and nose, all resting on a tripod, is displayed near “The Painter in His Studio,” painted in the same year, 1928. The painting, in shades of black, white, gray, and pale yellow, is a little metaphysical tour de force, and it uses the same head motif as the sculpture. Near the end of the show we see Picasso reviving his interest in a problem first explored more than half a century earlier, of how to convey on a flat surface the touch and weight of a female body perceived (and imagined) in the round. The results (“Reclining Woman Reading,” “Reclining Woman Playing With a Cat”) are amazingly fresh, almost as if he were tackling the problem for the first time. How did he do it? He was a genius. It may be facile, but it’s true. He was also very smart.Sebastian Smee can be reached at [email protected].

Sometimes it is the life-challenging events that lead to life-altering opportunities. Such was the case for 2001 University of Wisconsin-Green Bay graduate Angie (Johnson) Qualio. Starting out as an art major, the Little Chute native changed her mind and her major during her father’s serious illness her freshman year in college. She experienced a sense of frustration in not fully understanding the illness, while at the same time, she felt compelled by curiosity to explore more about the field of medicine. “I had already taken Human Biology as a freshman as a general education requirement and loved it,” Qualio explained. “I realized at this time just how fascinating I found medicine to be. When I returned for my sophomore year of school, I made the decision to pursue medical school and declared my major as Human Biology.” Qualio is now an emergency physician (and junior partner) with Green Bay Emergency Medicine Services at Bellin Hospital, Green Bay. In January 2014 she became the department chair. “Being an emergency physician is both thrilling and challenging — we get to see, and to help, people at a time in their lives when they are most in need, scared, and unsure of what is going on,” she says. “Although, for the most part, it is not a crazy adrenaline rush, there are times when every second does count and people come in in very bad shape and it is rewarding to be able to, sometimes, make a scary situation end in a positive way.” After graduating from UWGB in May of 2001, Qualio took a year off to work in the physiology department at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She then earned a medical degree from Des Moines University, in Iowa and attended residency at Palmetto Health Richland Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina. She shared responsibilities as a chief resident with one other resident in her third year, graduating in 2009. “Entering medical school, I was unsure what specialty I was going to follow, but as I decided on emergency medicine, I did envision myself working in an emergency room in Wisconsin and am thrilled that my path brought me back to Green Bay.” She and her husband Aaron Qualio ’01, (Public Administration and Political Science) also a UW-Green Bay graduate, have two daughters, a four-year-old and an infant. “I definitely believe that UWGB prepared me to not only get accepted in to medical school, but to thrive there, due to the base of knowledge I attained from the Human Biology program, and in particular the faculty,” she said, pointing out Professor Brian Merkel and professors emeriti Richard Stevens and Ron Starkey as especially influential. “I’d say my favorite memories of UWGB include meeting my husband, the many great friends I made, and always feeling like the faculty was accessible and sincerely cared about how I was doing both at GB and in regards to my post-graduation plans.”

- Don’t compare your teenage years to your child’s teenage years We all remember our teenage years and the challenges that went with it. Do you also remember your parents telling you how hard they had it compared to you? Do you remember how it made you feel? Maybe as though they weren’t really listening to you or that they were more absorbed in their own issues than yours? So, instead, try to emphasise with your child, even if you do think that you had it worst. Listen to them and understand that while their challenges are different to the ones that you had, but they are still valid and real for your child. 2. Treat your children equally Teenagers have a great sense of fairness and will pick up on any perceived inequalities. So, if you let a younger child do something earlier than you let your older child, they will be sure to feel negatively about it. It also isn’t fair to treat your sons and daughters differently. For example, allowing your son to stay out until 11pm, but make your daughter come home at 9 pm. Be sure to ask both your sons and your daughters to help with things such as cleaning the house, doing dishes, mowing the lawn, etc. 3. Talk to your teenagers rather than lecturing them We can be so worried about our teenager, that it spills out sometimes with lists of dangers and concerns, but this is not a conversation. To encourage two way conversations, ask open questions, listen to them and make them feel comfortable enough to ask questions. 4. Being a teen is stressful and sometimes they just need a break Teenagers have a lot on their plate, including school work and exams, friendship issues, social media and future worries. Let them relax sometimes and don’t constantly remind them to do this or that – sometimes they just need a break (just like us). 5. Let them express themselves without judgement A huge part of being a teenager is trying to figure out who you are and what you want to do with your life. A lot of teens are still trying to find themselves, which can explain why many teenagers might dress in clothes that you dislike. Don’t judge them for their choice in clothing, hairstyles, etc. And lastly, they love you, even if they don’t show it or tell you.
The Hiromine Shrine (Guang Feng Shen She ) is on top of Mt. Hiromine in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. It claims to be the main shrine of Gozu Tenno across Japan, but Yasaka-jinja Shrine also claims to be the main shrine of Gozu Tenno. It used to be a prefectural shrine, but now it is a Beppyo shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines. People also call it Hiromine Gozu Tenno. It is an ancient shrine with a well-known name. The worship of Gozu Tenno was originally related to the belief in avoiding epidemics and disasters by appeasing malevolent spirits. However, at Hiromine shrine, the focus of worship shifted to praying for the fertility of rice cultivation. This became known as "Hiromine Faith," and it is why the shrine is quite different from normal Gion faith shrines. This is evident in the rice planting festival and prayer festival that are held at the shrine. Kuroda Takataka (Kanbei, Josui) Ancestral Tradition In 2018, it was announced that a shrine would be built to honor Kuroda Takataka (also known as Kanbei) behind the main hall, and it was planned to be finished in the spring of 2019. Many people visit the shrine to worship Kuroda Kanbei and the land associated with the Kuroda family. There is a legend about Shigetaka Kuroda, a military commander during the Warring States period, in our shrine. The legend includes the use of letters such as "Cho", "Masa", "Takashi", and "Kan" in the name "Kanbei", suggesting a connection to Shigetaka Kuroda. However, no connection has been found, and he is believed to have come from a different family in Kurodasho, Taka County, not the Kuroda family of Omi Province. Historical records show that a senior vassal of the Kuroda family, Mr. Inokuchi, was a monk and priest at the shrine. A part of a Katsura tree discovered from the Mausoleum of Kuroda Shikinaka in Mega, Himeji City during the Edo period was enshrined at the newly built Kanbei Shrine. It was donated to Mine Shrine and became an object of worship at Kanbei Shrine. Festival New Year's Day Festival ( New Year's Day in January ) Setsubun, Risshun Yakuyoke Grand Festival Tondo Nosatsusai ( February Setsubun Day) Kinensai ( February 18th ) Rice planting festival ( April 3rd ) This is a traditional Shinto ceremony that is believed to bring a good harvest of rice. It is an important festival for Shrine, as they have been worshiping the god of agriculture for many years. The ceremony is designated as an intangible folk cultural property of Himeji City. Along with the prayer festival, this ceremony is performed to pray for a successful rice crop by simulating rice planting and harvesting before the actual rice cultivation of the year. On April 3rd morning, a Shinto priest, dressed in a robe, is accompanied by a group of people to the main Shrine. The group includes an umbrella holder with a Kasa-boko, a hat with artificial cherry blossoms, and a red kimono. During the ceremony, there is a band in white robes and blue hakama playing festival music with flutes and drums. Rice fields are plowed by people wearing straw hats and plow hoes to create a temporary field. Seedlings carrying seedling boxes with balance poles parade in a procession. After reaching the main Shrine, a Kasahoko is set up in front of the main gate, and the Shinto priest prays. Then the rice paddy is divided into three parts for the three types of rice, Wase, Nakate, and Okute, and is filled with sand. A person puts a spade and a hoe in, and then Janohige, which looks like rice seedlings, are planted in each paddy field. The orchestra plays festival music in time with the planting. In the past, many people would come to the shrine for this festival, but in recent times, the number of visitors has decreased due to the decline of agriculture and the lack of people who can play festival music. The festival was temporarily suspended until 1996 when the local commerce and industry established a commendation society to revive the festival. Currently, three of the Saotomes are responsible for PR activities for Himeji City. Kokusai Festival ( April 18 ) On April 18, the Hozorai Festival and horse-running ceremony take place, marking the end of the Shinto ritual that began on April 3. During the Hozorai Festival, the Shinto priest announces the results of the year's bountiful rice varieties and decorates the main shrine with three types of rice - Wase, Nakate, and Okute - that have been dedicated by neighboring farmers. In the past, some people received the dedicated rice paddy and sowed it in the nurseries of their own rice fields. The horse-running ceremony that follows is intended to boost the economy. Shinto priests dressed in costumes of military officers of the imperial court ride several horses and make three round trips from the Otabisho (Tenso-jinja Shrine) to the front of the main shrine. The priest must complete the race without falling off the horse to ensure a bountiful harvest. However, if the horse jumps or falls, it is believed that the harvest will be poor. During the Edo period, ten horses ran, and there were representations of the Himeji lords and horse presentations. Nowadays, only three horses run. Together with the rice planting festival, the Hozorai Festival and horse-running ceremony is the largest festival of the shrine, and it is said that the number of worshipers exceeded 100,000 before the war. Nagoshi Oharae and Chinowa Ritual ( June 30 ) This is a Shinto ritual that serves to purify oneself of impurities from the first half of the year. It involves walking through a chinowa, which is a 2-meter-diameter circle made of grasses or other materials, that is set up in the shrine precincts. The act of walking through the chinowa is believed to wash away impurities and help one start anew. Autumn Grand Festival, Yoimiya ( October 17 ) Autumn Grand Festival, Main Shrine ( October 18 ) Onbashira Festival ( November 15th ) Kibi Festival ( October 2 of the lunar calendar ) A festival to pray for passing exams. New Year's Eve Purification ( December 31st ) A Shinto ritual to exorcise the impurity of the last half of the year. In addition, there is a Seven-Five-Three Festival in November, and various purifications (including on-site purifications) and shrine visits are accepted at any time. Traffic access Train Get off at Nosato Station on the Bantan Line . Bus From Himeji Station, take the Shinki Bus 4 or 6 bound for "Hiromine" and get off at "Hiromine", then walk for 40 minutes. However, the 4th line only runs in the morning and evening, and the 6th line runs every two hours during the day, so it's best to take any of the lines that frequently pass through the south, get off at Shirakuni Minamiguchi, and walk about 1km to the Hiromine bus stop. . Routes other than those bound for Hiromine, which pass through the Shirakuni South Exit, are the 3 and 5 lines bound for Daijudai/ Himeji Dokkyo University, the 81 line bound for Enbuna Danchi/Hojo Sales Office, and the 82 line bound for Kohokke Park.

"We'll Meet Again", also called "We'll Be Together Again", is a 1939 British song. It was made famous during World War II by singer Vera Lynn. The song was written by the English songwriters Ross Parker and Hughie Charles. The song was published under the label Michael Ross Limited. The song's first recording had Lynn with Arthur Young on Novachord. A second recording in 1953 had Lynn with many instruments and a choir of British Armed Forces members in the background. The song gave its name to a 1943 movie of the same name. Lynn starred in the movie as the lead role.
The Simpson family and Ned Flanders hold a séance in the hope of communicating with the spirit of Maude Flanders. Bart tries to trick Ned by dressing up as Maude's ghost, but the real ghost of Maude, now a demonic spirit, appears instead. In a parody of Multiplicity, Homer's hammock collapses while he is taking a nap. He purchases a new one from a passing vendor, who warns him that it carries a curse. Disregarding this, Homer lies down and discovers that the new hammock can produce clones of anyone who rests on it. He inspects the first clone and notices that it does not have a belly button. He makes clones to do all of his chores, which include helping Marge choose an outfit, visiting Grampa to listen to one of his rambling war stories, and play a baseball game with Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The clones are soon revealed to be more stupid than Homer. One clone kills Ned Flanders by cutting off his head with a chainsaw after Flanders asks if he can have his chainsaw back. Shocked by Flanders' wrongful death, Homer decides to get rid of the clones and the hammock. He bundles them in a truck and takes them to an isolated cornfield. When they arrive, Homer asks if anyone knows the way home. When three clones raise their hands, Homer shoots them, then abandons the rest of them, along with the hammock, presuming that none of the clones are smart enough to get anywhere without him. The clones use the abandoned hammock to make an army of Homer clones, many of which are mutations, including The Tracey Ullman Show version of Homer, a faceless Homer, a morbidly obese Homer, a Homer with thick, black glasses, and Peter Griffin from Family Guy. The "clone army" consumes all of Gil Gunderson's crops and Gil himself, then attacks Springfield and destroys all of its buildings, except for Moe’s Tavern, which reports record business. US army officials gather in the Mayor's War Room, and determine that the clones will eat up America by the next day. Lisa thinks of a solution to solve the problem, after getting the idea from Homer, who became upset when he found an empty doughnut box. She suggests that several helicopters hook gigantic, sprinkled doughnuts on cables and lure the clones into Springfield Gorge to their doom. In the end, Marge is shocked to find that the Homer she has is a clone and the real Homer was the first to die due to his obsession of donuts. Marge worries over the real Homer's death, until the clone Homer gives her a backrub. In a parody of The Terminator, Bart and Lisa are at the Springfield Cemetery, mourning the loss of their pet goldfish, Goldie. Lisa inadvertently discovers the grave of William Bonney, a man who was killed at a young age by gun violence. According to his epitaph, he dreamed of a world without guns. In his memory, Lisa starts a gun control crusade, which makes Springfield 100% gun free; even the police no longer possess guns. The town is now defenseless, causing the corpses of William "Billy the Kid" Bonney and his cohorts, "The Hole in the Ground" gang (Frank James, Jesse James, the Sundance Kid (without Butch Cassidy, as they are "not joined at the hip"), and Kaiser Wilhelm II) to rise from the dead. The gang wreaks havoc on the town, until Professor Frink invents a time machine, which Homer uses to go back in time to stop the gun ban and destroy the zombies. Homer tells the citizens of Springfield to shoot at the zombies' graves, causing them to rise up and flee. Lisa feels guilty about banning guns, because sometimes they are the answer. Suddenly, a more futuristic Homer comes in to warn them about guns that have destroyed Earth in the future. He is then shot by Moe, who has had enough of all this nonsense and plans to use Frink's time machine to find some "caveman hookers". In a parody of H. G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau, the Simpsons visit "The Island of Lost Souls", where they find Dr. Hibbert running the island's resort. Marge says there were rumors he has gone mad. The family has dinner with Professor Frink, who is transformed into a turkey as the main course, Marge explores the island, and is captured by Dr. Hibbert. She is then transformed into a blue humanized panther. She returns to her room and has violent, animal sex (literally, scratching all of his back with her claws) with Homer. He realizes that she has been mutated, then asides that he should have realized this during the sex. Homer treks across the island looking for a cure to Marge's condition, but encounters Ned Flanders, who has been mutated into a cow-centaur, in need of a milking. After Homer reluctantly milks him, Flanders takes him to meet other Springfield inhabitants who have also been turned into mutants, including Bart (now a spider), Lisa (now an owl) and Maggie (now an anteater, who is nearly eaten by Lisa until Homer intervenes). Homer, initially appalled at what everyone has become, eventually embraces the concept of being a mutant animal who does nothing but eat, sleep, mate and roll around in its own filth upon realizing how well it fits in with his personal lifestyle. The segment ends with a contently mutated Homer in the form of a walrus, and the rest of the Simpsons and Springfield mutants lounging aside the resort’s pool, intending to spend the rest of their days on Dr. Hibbert’s resort. A deleted scene features Homer (as a walrus) giving Marge (as a panther) a back scratch. Marge then coughs up a hairball and Dr. Hibbert immediately begins planning on changing the whole animal hybrids back into humans. The entire Treehouse of Horror XIII episode concludes with an appearance by Kang and Kodos, observing that Dr. Hibbert’s skull-shaped island resembles their alien number 4.

Regumate may still be given to competition horses, the FEI has confirmed, despite the fact racing trainers have been told to remove it from their yards. The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) advised trainers to be cautious when using the product last month after Australian racehorses who had been given altrogenest, the active ingredient of Regumate, tested positive for traces of banned steroids trendione and trenbolone. Batches of the product sourced in Europe were tested, and found also to contain trendione, leading the BHA to issue the stronger advice. But FEI veterinary director Göran Akerström told H&H: “Altrenogest is used to suppress oestrus in mares, and its use for this specific purpose is allowed under FEI rules. Its use in a male horse (gelding or stallion) is not permissible. “The FEI has conferred with the director of the FEI central laboratory and can confirm that, with the currently available information, it is permissible to continue to use altrenogest product Regumate solution 2.2 mg/mL for mares as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The FEI veterinary department recommends that anyone using or planning to use the product on a mare should discuss this with their veterinarian.” British Eventing also released a statement clarifying that the use of Regumate in mares is not banned. “The British Equestrian Federation has sought clarification from the FEI and the advice received is that it remains permissible to use oral Regumate in mares in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions, until such time as the FEI confirms that this policy should change,” the statement read. “Please note that any injectable altrenogest products should not be used.” A spokesman for manufacturer MSD Animal Health said: “Nothing is more important to MSD Animal Health than the safety and efficacy of our products, and the health and well-being of animals. “Regumate Equine 2.2 mg/ml oral solution for horses is indicated for mares to facilitate breeding. It contains altrenogest, a short-acting synthetic steroidal progestogen. Several products containing altrenogest (including generics and injectables) are available around the world.

Tests indicate Regumate Equine is within the approved specifications and in line with the European Medicines Agency specifications. However, trendione is an impurity of altrenogest and it is not possible to completely exclude its presence from the product. “The BHA recently advised trainers not to use these products in active racehorses in the UK. This does not affect other equestrian disciplines with breeding mares. “Regumate Equine is considered safe and effective when used according to the label. MSD Animal Health is advising horse owners to check competition rules for their discipline with their national associations before administering the product. “We remain confident in the quality and safety of Regumate Equine.” For all the latest news analysis, competition reports, interviews, features and much more, don’t miss Horse & Hound magazine, on sale every Thursday.

. The regulation of STAT signal decay has also been an area of active investigation. Four major classes of counterregulatory molecules have been identified, including phosphatases,3,4,7 nuclear "transportases,"8-10 covalent modifiers,4,11,12 and specific STAT counterregulatory proteins (eg, suppressor of cytokine signaling [SOCS] and protein inhibitor of activated STATs [PIAS] proteins13,14). Studies on SOCS-1 have provided significant evidence for a critical role in down-regulating IFN-Stat1dependent signals, but studies on PIAS proteins have yielded less direct mechanistic insight into Stat1 regulation.14-16 More recent studies have determined that PIAS proteins are small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) E3 ligases, raising the possibility that STAT activity is regulated through SUMO modification.17-19 SUMOs are approximately 100amino acid peptides which, like ubiquitin, become covalently attached to cellular target proteins (reviewed in Kim et al,17 Melchior et al,18 and Müller et al19). However, in contrast to ubiquitin, SUMO modifications do not target proteins for degradation, but rather promote proteinprotein interactions and direct subcellular localization, and/or serve to antagonize ubiquitin-dependent degradation. SUMO conjugation entails the formation of a reversible isopeptide bond between the C-terminus of the SUMO peptide (SUMO-1, SUMO-2, or SUMO-3) and the amino group of the lysine found in the consensus sequence KxE ( HEK-293T, Vero, and L929 cells were from ATCC (Manassas, VA); and Stat1/ mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and macrophages were harvested from Stat1/ mice (generously provided by D. Levy, New York University, NY). Cells were cultured in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum from GIBCO Laboratories (Grand Island, NY). Bone marrow (from mouse femurs)derived macrophages were cultured in 20% L929 cellconditioned media for 5 to 10 days.24 After 16 hours in culture, adherent bone marrow cells were infected (3 times) with retrovirus freshly prepared from HEK-293T transfectants (below). Stat1/ MEFs were infected twice with pMIG retroviruses encoding Stat1, Stat1K703R, and Stat1E705A in the presence of polybrene (8 µg/mL; Sigma, St Louis, MO), as previously reported.25 High-titer viral supernatants were prepared through transient transfection in HEK-293T cells by calcium phosphate precipitation.9 Retroviral infection efficiency, as determined by fluorescence-activated cell-sorter (FACS) (green fluorescent proteinpositive [GFP+] cells; FACS-Calibur; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), varied between 90% to 95% in MEFs and 25% to 35% in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). For viral response assays, MEFs were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV, Indiana strain; gift from R. Pine, Public Health Research Institute, Newark, NJ) prepared in Vero cells. Viral yield was measured 24 hours after infection by titering on Vero cells overlayed with 1.5% methyl cellulose for 36 hours.26 Expression of the reporter GFP gene and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II (after staining with anti-mouse I-Ab; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) was evaluated by flow cytometry (FACS-Calibur).9,26 Nitric oxide (NO) production was evaluated at day 10 of culture and 72 hours after IFN- (50 U/mL) and/or LPS (2 µg/mL) stimulation, as previously described.27 Biochemical studies Recombinant SUMO-1, E1, and E2 were expressed, purified, and assayed as previously described.20 The IR1-M-IR2 domains of Nup358 (aa 2596-2836) and full-length PIAS1 (aa 1-651) were cloned and expressed as Smt3 fusion proteins, cleaved by Ulp1, and purified by anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography.28 To assay for Stat1 SUMO-ylation, purified recombinant Stat1 (0.5 µM) was incubated with SUMO-1 (2 µM), E1 (Uba2/Aos1; 0.3 µM), E2 (Ubc9; 0.3 µM), and E3 (PIAS1 or Nup358 at 0.3 µM) in a buffer with 5 mM MgCl2, 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1 mM DTT, 2 mM ATP, and 0.5 U pyrophosphatase (Sigma) for 1 hour at 37°C. To assay for peptide SUMO-ylation, p53 (residues 323-393), p53K386M (residues 320-393) Stat1/phospho-Stat1 (residues 697-711), or Stat3 (residues 701-714) peptides (at 500 µM) were incubated with E1 and either wild-type or mutant Ubc9 for 5 or 24 hours at 37°C, as previously described.29 Samples were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and stained with Coomassie Blue or Sypro (4-12hour staining, > 1 hour destaining; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Sypro-stained gels were imaged by UV illumination and the band intensity was quantified (Bio-Rad UV system; Quantity One Software; Bio-Rad). Overexpression assays entailed transfecting protamine complementary DNA (pcDNA; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) expression plasmids encoding hemagglutinin (HA)SUMO-1, HisSUMO-1, Ubc9, and/or PIAS-y (gifts from S. Goff, Columbia University, New York, NY) into HEK-293T cells by calcium phosphate precipitation or MEFs with LipofectAmine Plus regent (Invitrogen). For oligonucleotide "pull-down" assays 20 µg GAS oligonucleotide (Table S1, available on the Blood website; see the "Supplemental Table" link at the top of the online article) coupled to 75 µL biotinylated agarose beads (Sigma) was incubated with 400 µL whole-cell extracts (WCEs) for 2 hours at 4°C, after blocking the beads with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 hour at 4°C, as previously reported.30 For immunoprecipitation, 400 µL WCEs was incubated with primary antibody for 2 to 16 hours followed by protein A agarose (Sigma), and then collected, as previously reported.9,26 WCE or precipitates were fractionated by SDS-PAGE and then evaluated by immunoblotting with the appropriate antibody.9 For nickel pulldown, 800 µL WCEs was incubated with 100 µL ProBond nickel beads, washed, and eluted as per the manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen). For electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), extracts were incubated with a GAS probe and fractionated by native PAGE as previously described.9,26 Antibodies were directed against Stat1,1 phosphotyrosine Stat1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA), MHC II (BD Pharmingen), HA (Covance, Berkeley, CA), and -actin (Sigma). Plasmid constructs pClEco and pMIG were provided by J. Luban (Columbia University).25 Murine Stat1, Stat1K703R, and Stat1E705A were cloned into the XhoI site in pMIG. Stat1K703R and Stat1E705A were prepared by site directed mutagenesis (Quickchange kit; Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) and confirmed by sequencing (Table S1 for primer sequences). Immunofluorescence Cells were cultured on sterile cover slips until 20% to 25% confluent, fixed in formaldehyde, and stained as previously reported9 with Stat1-specific antibodies (1:250 fold dilution) and a Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody (1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA). Slides were examined under a Nikon Eclipse TE300 microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY) after excitation at 550 nm (Cy3) and excitation at 495 nm (GFP). RNA expression analysis Total RNA was prepared from MEFs with Trizol (Invitrogen) extraction. RNA (4 µg) was treated with RQ1 DNAse (Promega, Madison, WI) and then reverse-transcribed with SuperScript II (Invitrogen). The cDNA was quantitatively amplified in an ABI Prism 7700 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system with a SYBR green master mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) as previously described.24 Gene expression was normalized to a -actin control. Luciferase reporter assay MEFs were seeded in 24-well plates (7.5 x 105/well) and transfected with 400 ng of an IRF-driven luciferase reporter (ie, B2WT331) and 40 ng pRL-tk renilla in LipofectAmine Plus (Invitrogen). Later (24 hours), transfectants were stimulated with IFN- (5 U/mL for 6 hours), resuspended in a passive lysis buffer, and evaluated in a luminometer (TD 20/20; Turner Systems, Sunnyvale, CA), as previously reported.31 Experiments were done in triplicate and luciferase activity was normalized to renilla activity. Recent studies identifying PIAS proteins as SUMO E3 ligases suggested that STATs may also be SUMO modified.17-19 Analysis of all mammalian STAT sequences identified 2 potential SUMO modification sites: Stat1 residues 109LKEE112 and 702IKTE705 (Table 1). Efforts to exploit SUMO-1specific antibodies to detect endogenous SUMO-modified Stat1 were unsuccessful. To improve the chances of detecting this product, Ubc9 and HASUMO-1 were overexpressed in HEK-293T cells. Under these conditions SUMO-Stat1 conjugates were readily recovered in Stat1 immunoprecipitates (Figure 1A) as previously reported.32,33 Coexpression of PIAS-y, however, impeded recovery of SUMO-Stat1 conjugates, most likely because of reduced levels of SUMO-1 and Ubc9 expressed in triple transfectants. One potential SUMO modification site, lysine 703 (K703), lies adjacent to the tyrosine that is phosphorylated during Stat1 activation, (ie, Y701). It was therefore important to determine whether SUMO conjugation affected Stat1 phosphorylation and subsequent DNA binding activity. As anticipated, phosphorylated Stat1 was readily recovered, by either immunoprecipitation or oligonucleotide precipitation, from prepared extracts of IFN-stimulated HEK-293T cells overexpressing Ubc9 and HASUMO-1 (Figure 1B, left panel). Although slower migrating SUMO-Stat1 conjugates were readily recovered in the Stat1 immunoprecipitates, they were not detected in the oligonucleotide precipitates, suggesting that SUMO-modified Stat1 will not bind DNA. Likewise, phosphorylated Stat1 was readily recovered in Stat1 immunoprecipitates prepared from IFN-stimulated HEK-293T cells overexpressing Ubc9 and HisSUMO-1. Yet, even though Stat1 was readily collected by nickelHis-SUMO-1 pull-down and phospho-Stat1 was abundant, no phospho-Stat1 was recovered in the nickel pull-downs (Figure 1B, right panel). These observations suggest that Stat1 modification by tyrosine phosphorylation and SUMO-ylation are mutually exclusive. To develop more direct evidence for Stat1 SUMO modification and to map the SUMO-ylation site, we turned to an effective in vitro conjugation assay that overcomes limitations imposed by SUMO deconjugating enzymes.20,22,34 Purified recombinant Stat1 was incubated with purified active preparations of human recombinant SUMO-1, E1 (Uba2/Aos1), E2 (Ubc9), and E3 (Nup358 or PIAS1).20,21,35 After 1 hour, the products were fractionated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with a Stat1-specific antibody. As shown in Figure 2, the anticipated approximately 105-kDa SUMO-Stat1 conjugate was readily formed in an ATP-dependent, but not E3-dependent manner (Figure 2A). Analogous results were obtained with a purified p53 control (data not shown). The SUMO-Stat1 conjugates (approximately 3%-4% of the total Stat1) and the remaining nonreacted (ie, native) Stat1 were then excised, digested with trypsin, and evaluated by mass spectrometry. The specific loss of peptides spanning K703, but not K110 indicated that Stat1 had been SUMO modified at K703 (data not shown). To confirm that K703 was the SUMO-ylation site, a Stat1 peptide spanning residues 697-711 (ie, KGTGYIKTELISVS) was evaluated in an in vitro SUMO conjugation system where a defective E2 (ie, Ubc9C93S) served as a negative control.29 Several additional peptides were evaluated. This included the analogous peptide from Stat3 (ie, AAPYLKTKFICVT) and a Stat1 peptide in which K703 was mutated to arginine (ie, KGTGYIRTELISVS). To explore whether Stat1 Y701 phosphorylation precludes SUMO modification, as suggested by HEK-293T overexpression studies (Figure 1), a Stat1 phosphopeptide (ie, phospho-Y701) was also evaluated. Again, p53 peptides spanning a well-characterized SUMO-ylation site served as important controls.20 After 5 and 24 hours of SUMO conjugation, only the wild-type Stat1 peptide was SUMO-ylated as effectively as the control wild-type p53 peptide (Figure 2B). More detailed kinetic studies provided further evidence that wild-type Stat1 was an effective SUMO substrate, whereas Stat3, phospho-Stat1, and the mutant peptides were poor substrates (Figure 2C). These data confirmed K703 as the SUMO modification site, but only when the adjacent Y701 was not phosphorylated. The failure to SUMO-ylate the Stat3 peptide was consistent with our inability to modify purified preparations of recombinant Stat39 (data not shown), reflecting a critical divergence in the corresponding potential Stat3 SUMO conjugation site (Table 1). Stat1K703R exhibits enhanced DNA binding activity To explore the potential role of Stat1 SUMO modification in vivo, a SUMO-ylationresistant Stat1K703R mutant was generated. Retroviral vectors directed expression of Stat1K703R and wild-type Stat1 at physiologic levels in Stat1/ MEFs36 in more than 95% of infected cells (data not shown; Figure 3A-B). Upon brief (ie, 0.5 hours) stimulation with IFN-, both Stat1 and Stat1K703R were rapidly activated (data not shown; Figure 3B). However, when these extracts were evaluated by EMSA, the DNA binding activity of Stat1K703R was significantly more prolonged than that of wild-type Stat1 (data not shown; Figure 3C). To determine whether Stat1K703R exhibited an enhanced affinity for GAS elements, DNA dissociation studies (ie, "off-rate") were performed. Stat1K703R displayed a 4-fold slower off-rate than wild-type Stat1 (ie, t1/2 > 120 vs 30 minutes; Figure 4A-B). Likewise, Stat1K703R exhibited an increased relative GAS binding activity (approximately 4-fold) compared with wild-type Stat1 (Figure 4C-D). As anticipated, no differences were observed in ISGF3-ISRE DNA binding activity in IFN-stimulated extracts, where IRF-9 mediates DNA binding (data not shown). In sum, these studies demonstrate that mutation of lysine 703 to arginine significantly enhanced Stat1 GAS binding activity in response to IFN- stimulation, recently also reported in human U3A cells.23 To develop additional evidence that Stat1 was SUMO modified at K703 in vivo, a second critical amino acid in the Stat1 SUMO consensus modification site (ie, E705), which is also not involved in dimerization, was mutated to alanine.6,17,18 Again, retroviral vectors directed a physiologic expression of Stat1K703R, Stat1E705A, and wild-type Stat1 in more than 95% of Stat1/ MEFs (Figure 3A, top panel). To confirm that both mutants were defective in SUMO modification, HASUMO-1 and Ubc9 were overexpressed in these MEFs. Despite modest transfection efficiency in these MEFs (Figure 3A, bottom panel), the studies clearly demonstrate the formation of the approximately 105-kDa SUMO-Stat1 conjugate in cells expressing wild-type Stat1, but not in those cells expressing the SUMO-ylationdefective mutants Stat1K703R and Stat1E705A (Figure 3A, top panel). Next, the IFN-dependent activation of Stat1E705A was evaluated. Stat1E705A exhibited a pattern of activation (ie, tyrosine phosphorylation) and DNA binding that was identical to that of wild-type Stat1, with continuous (ie, up to 12 hours) IFN- stimulation (Figure 3B-C). Likewise, Stat1K703R exhibited an essentially normal pattern of tyrosine phosphorylation, notable for a slight delay at early time points and more robust activity at later time points (Figure 3B). However, these modest changes in IFN-dependent Stat1K703R tyrosine phosphorylation correlated with a striking increase in DNA binding activity (Figure 3C). Thus, SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1E705A exhibits an activation profile that is distinct from Stat1K703R, but similar to wild-type Stat1. The rapid and transient translocation of Stat1 to the nucleus is another characteristic feature of Stat1 signaling activity. Since several studies have implicated SUMO modification in the regulation of nuclear trafficking,34,37,38 a set of Stat1 immunolocalization studies were carried out. Analogous to the pattern observed with wild-type Stat1, both Stat1K703R and Stat1E705A exhibited a predominately cytoplasmic distribution in unstimulated cells and robust nuclear accumulation with IFN- stimulation (ie, 0.5 hours; Figure 5). After stimulation (6 hours), both Stat1 and Stat1E705A were fully re-exported back to the cytoplasm, rendering those cells ready for another round of stimulation. In contrast, Stat1K703R continued to exhibit a strong nuclear retention, consistent with its enhanced DNA binding activity.10 These studies demonstrate that the 2 SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1 mutants exhibit remarkably divergent phenotypes. Next, several studies were undertaken to explore the potential role of SUMO-ylation in regulating biologic responses directed by Stat1. In the first set of studies, the ability of Stat1/ MEFs expressing wild-type Stat1, Stat1K703R, or Stat1E705A to direct the IFN-dependent induction of several target genes was explored (Figure 6). Wild-type Stat1 and Stat1E705A promoted similar normal patterns of IRF1, TAP1, GBP1, and Mig expression.24,39 However, cells expressing Stat1K703R exhibited a delayed expression pattern, with significant reduction of target gene expression at 2 and 6 hours after stimulation, followed by normalization of expression by 12 hours (Figure 6A). Changes in the expression of a GAS-driven reporter gene, which tends to measure a more averaged transcriptional response, did not reveal any statistically significant differences between wild-type, Stat1E705A, or Stat1K703R (Figure 6B; Figure 6C illustrates that all Stat1s were expressed at equivalent levels). There was, however, a consistent trend toward diminished reporter expression in the Stat1K703R cells. Thus, Stat1E705A is functionally indistinguishable from wild-type Stat1, but the transcriptional kinetics in Stat1K703R cells are notable for a reduced initial expression of target genes in the setting of a mutant with enhanced DNA binding activity. IFNs stimulate a potent and physiologically important antiviral response, which represents an integrated response of numerous target genes.4,26 To determine whether SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1 mutants direct an abnormal antiviral response to IFN-, Stat1/ MEFs expressing either wild-type Stat1, Stat1K703R, or Stat1E705A were infected with VSV. In the first study, cells were pretreated with increasing doses of IFN- (0.5-50 U/mL) prior to infection with a fixed multiplicity of infection (MOI = 0.5; Figure 7A, top panel). As anticipated, Stat1/ cells were not protected by IFN- pretreatment,26,36 but Stat1E705A and wild-type Stat1 directed the same robust antiviral response to IFN- (at 5 and 50 U/mL). Stat1K703R demonstrated modestly enhanced antiviral activity, but only at low IFN- doses. Similarly, Stat1K703R directed a modestly enhanced antiviral response to IFN- (5 U/mL) when the VSV MOI was varied from 0.001 to 1.0 (Figure 7A, bottom panel). Thus, SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1E705A directs a wild-type antiviral response to IFN-. In contrast, Stat1K703R, with its enhanced DNA binding ability, directs a modestly enhanced response. Macrophages are an important physiologic target of IFN-.4,27 To evaluate the biologic activity of the SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1 mutants, primary Stat1/ BMMs were infected with retroviruses encoding wild-type Stat1, Stat1K703R, or Stat1E705A. Modest differences in the level of expression were noted that correlated with an infection efficiency, which ranged between 25% and 35% (not shown). First, these macrophages were assessed for a Stat1-dependent ability to induce NO production upon stimulation with IFN- plus LPS (Figure 7B, top panel).26,27,40 Modest differences between the capacity of wild-type and mutant Stat1 to direct NO production appeared correlated with differences in the level of Stat1 expression. Next, the Stat1-dependent ability of IFN- to induce MHC II expression in Stat1 "transduced" (ie, GFP+) macrophages was evaluated by FACS (Figure 7B, bottom panel).26 Again, no significant differences were observed between wild-type Stat1 and the mutants, suggesting that Stat1K703R and Stat1E705A direct wild-type patterns of IFN-dependent responses in primary macrophages. To evaluate the potential physiologic significance of SUMO Stat1 conjugation, SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1 mutants were generated. Fortuitously, the 2 most critical residues in the SUMO consensus modification site, K703 and E705, are exposed, suggesting they could be mutated without perturbing Stat1 activity.6,32 Consistent with this, expression of the first mutant, Stat1K703R, in Stat1/ MEFs revealed a wild-type pattern of rapid IFN-dependent activation. However, the activation of Stat1K703R was associated with significantly enhanced DNA binding and a prolonged pattern of nuclear retention. This observation raised the possibility that Stat1 SUMO modification might normally serve to promote Stat1 signal decay (eg, by driving DNA dissociation and thereby promoting dephosphorylation). Yet, biochemical studies failed to demonstrate that tyrosine-phosphorylated Stat1, the predicted SUMO-ylation target, could be SUMO modified. A second finding that was difficult to reconcile with this model was that the whole population of SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1K703R exhibited dramatically enhanced DNA binding activity, even though only minute quantities of Stat1-SUMO conjugates were detected in wild-type cells, even under conditions of overexpression (Figure 1).23,32,33 The most significant data to undermine the notion that SUMO conjugation regulates Stat1 activity came from the characterization of the second SUMO-ylationdefective mutant, Stat1E705A. This mutant was essentially indistinguishable from wild-type Stat1. It exhibited a wild-type pattern of activation, signal decay, DNA binding, and nuclear retention. More importantly, in vivo studies demonstrated that Stat1E705A and wild-type Stat1 were equivalent in their ability to direct the expression of IFN- target genes and IFN-dependent antiviral responses. Similar results were obtained when Stat1E705A was expressed in primary Stat1/ macrophages. In sum, these observations provide strong evidence that SUMO modification does not play an important role in the regulation of Stat1 activity, either in fibroblasts or macrophages. Upon completing our initial characterization of the Stat1 SUMO-ylation site, 2 other groups reported K703 as a Stat1 SUMO modification site.32,33 Both found that Stat1K703R exhibited relatively modest changes in Stat1K703R-dependent transcriptional activity in primate cells. Subsequently, 1 of these groups confirmed our observation of enhanced IFN-dependent DNA binding activity and nuclear retention with Stat1K703R.23 Analogous to our own observations, this correlated with a modest increase in the Stat1K703R-dependent transcription of a reporter, as well as prolonged transcription of 3 endogenous genes (eg, GBP1, IRF1, and TAP1). A second SUMO-ylationdefective mutant, Stat1E705A, was also evaluated and found to drive a modestly enhanced IFN-dependent expression of a GAS-driven reporter gene (versus our finding of a wild-type response). However, companion DNA binding and nuclear retention studies on Stat1E705A were not provided. We speculate that the modest differences between these published studies and ours reside in the cell type used. Our study used Stat1-deficient primary cells or their derivatives, and not tumor cells that had undergone extensive mutagenesis, as is the case with U3A cells.43 Moreover, our study used a pool of stably "transduced" cells, rather than a limited number clonally selected cell lines. (Of note, in our hands the pattern of gene expression varied considerably among U3A clones; data not shown.) Finally, our studies demonstrated that IFN-dependent biologic responses, including antiviral activity, NO production, and target gene expression, were not significantly perturbed in SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1 mutants. Although the unusual properties of Stat1K703R could easily be exploited to argue that Stat1 activity is regulated by SUMO conjugation of K703, we believe that our data provide compelling evidence to the contrary. Notably, even under idealized reaction conditions, with purified Stat1, only a modest fraction of Stat1 was SUMO modified (Figure 2). This contrasted the fully penetrant-enhanced DNA binding activity of Stat1K703R, suggesting that this mutation causes a structural perturbation to Stat1 dimer that stabilizes DNA binding. Consistent with this, K703 residue lies in a critical location of the Stat1-Stat1 dimerization interface. More significantly, a second SUMO-ylationdefective Stat1 mutant fails to exhibit this phenotype, providing compelling evidence that the enhanced DNA binding is unrelated to a potential loss in the ability to be SUMO modified. Surprisingly however, the enhanced DNA binding activity of Stat1K703R correlated with relatively meek changes in biologic response, including a modestly enhanced antiviral activity at the lowest doses of IFN- and a lack of differences in NO production. The enhanced antiviral activity suggests that increased DNA binding activity may compensate for low levels of activation (ie, when active Stat1-Stat1 homodimers are rate limiting). Yet, at more standard doses of IFN-, this advantage is lost. The lack of correlation between the enhanced DNA binding activity of Stat1K703R and target gene expression was surprising. This may suggest that Stat1 plays a more important role in initiating transcription (ie, an "on switch") than in regulating the duration of a transcriptional response.44 Moreover, the K703R mutation may impede recruitment of transcriptional cofactors, yielding an initially delayed response in target gene expression. Additional point mutations of K703 in Stat1, and closely related Stat3, will be important in exploring these possibilities.

In the morally ambiguous world of Westeros, separating the good guys from the bad guys is hard, owing to complex characterization of the cast and crazy situations each and every character is plunged into. But when the bad people are bad, they’re really bad. Few villains can elicit such reactions from the audience as the Game of Thrones antagonists manage to pull off, making them truly hatable. Here are the top ten best Game of Thrones villains, each one making an impact on the audience. Let’s meet the bad guys as we count them down from number ten! 10. The Night King Image via JOE This might be a bit of a controversial start, as the Night King is often thought of the ‘big bad’ of the series, THE ultimate villain who surpassed everyone else in both scale and power. Well, at least until the latest season, where he surprisingly killed off in Episode 3 and leaving Cersei to take the role of ‘final boss’. But while he was a fearsome presence and one of the main focuses of conflict for the show that got bigger as the shoe went on, the Night King himself didn’t have much beyond the surface, unlike most of the other characters. He was just a fearsome, silent dark necromancer who wanted to destroy Westeros because he hated the living. Still, there’s no denying he was an intimidating figure, leading legions of zombies and being especially terrifying up close. There’s just the nagging feeling he could’ve made more going for him than ‘evil’ but what we got was still pretty good. 9. Ser Gregor Clegane / The Mountain Image via Den of Geek The Mountain’s appearances throughout the series could be counted on one hand but he’s left a huge mark since he first came stomping onto the scene in Season 1. From his actions before the series (murdering Elia Martell and shoving his own brother, Sandor, into a fireplace and scarring him for life), to his horrific actions onscreen such as rampaging through the Riverlands to torturing people to death at the Dreadfort to murdering Obeyrn Martell by squashing his head, the Mountain has cemented himself as one of the worst. He became less of a character after he was revived as a zombie by Qyburn to serve Cersei, being a silent enforcer of her will but at least he got a final showdown with his brother, Sandor, that ended with both their deaths. The Mountain will always have been a memorable, destructive presence that inspired terror whenever he was onscreen. 8. The High Sparrow Image via Den of Geek This guy. This guy right here. The High Sparrow was a man we wanted to punch in the face as soon as he came onscreen. A fanatic who hid behind pillars of self-righteousness and acted like what he was doing was in service to his god, the High Sparrow does horrible things while preaching about how good he is to the world. His smug attitude doesn’t help matters either and its thanks to him the Seven Kingdoms are turned upside down overnight, with Margaery getting arrested. He even makes us feel sorry for Cersei after he puts her through the infamous walk of shame. It is very satisfying indeed when he gets blown sky high by an explosion of wildfire in a trap by Cersei. Still, he’s quite effective as an antagonist and all good villains make you hate them. 7. Roose bolton Image via Game of Thrones wiki Oozing icy menace, Roose Bolton was just as sadistic as his dastardly son, Ramsay, but exercised self-restraint to put on a mask of civility that still made him quite scary. Cold and calculating, Roose began as a vassal to Ned Stark but always had his eye towards taking power for his own. His sadism is on display, with his methods of torture and his House’s symbol being a flayed man but he keeps in the Stark’s good graces until the time is right to strike. And strike he does, stabbing Robb Stark personally at the infamous Red Wedding and putting the North under Bolton control. Until, of course, Roose Bolton was killed himself by Ramsay, as Ramsay’s ambition led him to take Roose’s position by force. Roose may not have the manic energy of his son but he’s far more controlled and intelligent with how he used his villainy. 6. Walder Frey Image Via Bustle Walder Frey may not seem impressive to look at but he’s one of the villains who had the most impact on the series. A slimy, disgusting man who abused his own daughters to produce more heirs to the Frey bloodline. His worst act, however, was betraying his allies, the Starks, leading to the infamous Red Wedding massacre where Robb, Catelyn, and many more are murdered. Walder Frey rightfully pays for his crime later on when Arya kills him but his impact on the series is huge despite his small amount of screen time. 5. Ramsay Bolton IImage via the wrap Oh boy. Of all the antagonists of the series, few inspire open contempt the way Ramsay does. And for good reason. He’s a complete and utter monster, with no redeemable traits at all. He’s completely insane, living not for politics or power but desiring to hurt people. His introduction to the series, where he brutally tortures Theon Greyjoy, is the stuff of nightmares. Not to mention his various other despicable acts including raping Sansa, killing his own father, taking over Winterfell, and his habit of feeding his victims to his pack of dogs. Fortunately, this piece of work meets his end in a suitably karmic fashion, as Sansa locks him in with his own dogs after his defeat at the Battle of Basterds and lets him get eaten alive by them. Ramsay deserved that fate and we sure won’t miss this lunatic. 4. Petyr ‘littlefinger’ Baelish Image via Purewow Petyr Baelish doesn’t have the over the top antics of some other villains but he’s very dangerous all the same. Almost a Shakespearen figure who relies on his wits and intelligence to play the game of politics, he’s a sly weasel who worms his way into positions of authority through constant scheming. It was Baelish who started the War of Kings with his secret letter to Ned Stark and his true nature is revealed when he betrays Ned Stark, putting a knife to his throat when Ned attempts to confront Cersei over her actions, causing Ned to be killed. He was a man who profited from chaos and its most satisfying to see Sansa eventually corner him, resulting in him being executed in Winterfell. 3. Tywin Lannister Image via HBO.COm Tywin Lannister was played to perfection by Charles Dance and it was almost sad to see him go after he takes a crossbow bolt to the chest by his own son, Tyrion, at the end of Season 4. Still, we can’t deny Tywin was a bad, bad man despite how awesome his presence was, a ruthless man who was controlling and spiteful towards his children while being ruthless towards his enemies. Tywin’s relationship to his children showed how each of them had evolved under his tyrannical grip. But despite all his power, Tywin was ultimately a pathetic figure, hypocritical and a complete liar, being both physically and morally bankrupt. No love was lost when he died in complete humiliation on the privy. 2. Cersei Lannister Image Via HBo.com Cersei had a tough life. Born to a domineering father and forced into a loveless marriage, her circumstances are understandable for molding her into a dark person but this still does not excuse her present behavior. Her ambition grew more and more as she left redeemable traits behind. She’s been behind the murder of Robert Baratheon and killing thousands with the blowing up of a section of King’s Landing. She became a tyrant Queen of King’s Landing and rose to power through nothing but her determination, grit, and sheer desire to take what she believed was rightfully hers. If only she didn’t have such a lackluster death in the final season, she’d be number 1. 1. Joffrey Baratheon Image via Hbo.com The best villain of the show, Joffrey is a snivelling, cowardly, sadistic, arrogant, conniving, selfish, bratty, vicious teenage king. Joffrey was a vile presence whenever he was onscreen, a brilliantly realized sociopath who flaunted his position of power to do whatever he wanted. His villainy was very pretty but it was this pettiness which made him so hatable and not to mention, he was very, very stupid. He tortured everyone he met he could get away with, especially his uncle Tyrion, Sansa, prostitutes, and even animals. He was the best villain on the show, doing everything he did out of short sighted sadism. His death was very satisfying, as we saw him choke to death and die in pain during the Purple Wedding, to the cheers of viewers around the world. Featured Image Via Game of Thrones Wiki

Roeselare is a municipality in the Belgian province of West Flanders. In 2016, more than 61 000 people lived there. It is at 50deg 56 North, 03deg 07 East. History Begin Roeselare was already known in 847 and was from the 10th century an important centre for industrial and commercial activities. Since 1250, the place was recognized as a city with several rights. Around 1260, there was built a belfry and a city hall at the 'Grand Place'. Because there were no defense facilities around the city, it was an easy target for ennemies. To guarantee safety, they started in Roeselare soon with a few teams of city guards. Of course, they could not much do in times of war. In 1488 and 1492, the city was destroyed by the army of Maximilian from Austria. Almost every building from the early Middle Ages collapsed. Around 1500, the city was rebuilt in a different architecture. The centre of Roeselare always belonged to the property of Wijnendale. There was peace in Roeselare during a short time. On the 26th August 1566, several statues in the Saint-Michaels Church and the hall were destroyed because of religeous protests called 'the beeldenstorm'. After the Eighty Years War, all the successful textile industries were completely gone out of the city. Then started a period with a lot of economical problems but there was also something positive. In Venice became a componist from Roeselare named Adrian Willaert popular. In 1609 the war came to an end for 12 years. Roeselare was rebuilt but the war started again from 1640. After the peace of Nijmegen became Roeselare a part of France and a frontier city famous for its illegal frontier traffic. There was no money to restore the belfry and hall that collapsed on the 30th October 1704. The fall of the tower caused a lot of damage. A smaller new hall burned down in 1749. Under the present-day grand place are the cellars of the old belfry. In spite of all the disasters that came over Roeselare in the past, the Saint-Michaels Church is still in quite good condition. Because of heavy weather on the 19th January 1735 has the tower collapsed. The tower was rebuilt but a few ten metres shorter. The 3 big disasters are the reason that the church has 3 architectures. Around 1770, the townhall was built in rococostyle. After the Battle of Waterloo became Roeselare Dutch again, untill the independence of Belgium that caused also poverty. The construction of the railway Kortrijk-Brugge (1838) and the invention of the steam-engine made the situation much better. From 1862 till 1872, the canal to the river Leie was dug. That gave a boost to the economy. The industry in Roeselare and the population grew. Roeselare was kown as the Manchester of Belgium. On the 28th July 1875 took the 'Groote Stooringe' place, a student-revolt against the use of French at school. The leader of this revolt was Albrecht Rodenbach, a writer who founded a lot of students' associations. World War The people of Roeselare suffered a lot during World War I. French soldiers, who left Roeselare, offered resistance but the Germans thougth that the inhabitants were shooting on them. Because of this misunderstanding, German soldiers killed 240 citizens and destroyed 252 houses on the 19th October 1914, called 'Schuwe Maandag'. After the first World War was the city rebuilt but when that work was done, World War II started. The city has less suffered during this second World War and was liberated by Polish soldiers. Since that liberation, the square 'Woodmarket' (Houtmarkt) is now called 'Polenplein' and there are monuments for the killed soldiers. Trade During the 19th and the 20th century, Roeselare was known for its 'nieuwmarkters'. Nieuwmarkters were merchants / traders from the so called 'new market' and they formed in this neighbourhood a ghetto. Nieuwmarkters had their own language for example 'the Bargoens' to speak with each other and people said that this merchants could sell everything to everybody. Even they did not speak very well French, German or English, they sold in Wallonia and to foreigners in Roeselare (for example during the two world wars) a lot of products with big profits. The small cheap houses in which the nieuwmarkters lived still exist today and you can see these houses around the Blekerijstraat and in a few streets around the old cemetery in Roeselare. In the sixties started the REO-vegetables and fruit mart. This is today the biggest vegetables and fruit mart in Flanders. Since 1977 the town of Roeselare and the villages of Beveren, Oekene and Rumbeke form the present-day city. Specialists think that the name of Roeselare refers to the elements Roes (= reed) + laar (= open space). So the place-name Roeselare means a marshy open space with reed in the wood. Areas Besides the centre of Roeselare proper, the municipality consists of the villages of Beveren, Oekene and Rumbeke. Just like in a few other cities, there are in Roeselare several parts of town. These are: Meiboom Waterdam Biezenhof Lindeke Havenbuurt Zuidmolen Schiervelde Krottegem Beekkwartier Rodenbachkwartier Sint-Jozef Havenbuurt Roeselare-Centre The villages of Beveren and Rumbeke are because of new buildings connected with the centre of Roeselare. The small village of Oekene is situated between the open rural area to the south of the city and the urbanisation near Rumbeke. The conurbation of the city extends along the canal Roeselare-Leie to the conurbation of the smaller neighbour city of Izegem. The municipality of Roeselare consists also of a few smaller hamlets. Along the road Roeselare-Menen (N32) lie successively the hamlet of Zilverberg, less than one kilometre to the south of the city centre, and almost two kilometres further the hamlet of Beitem. Both hamlets belong to the territory of the village of Rumbeke. The city has a few Catholic parishes and a Protestant church. The municipality of Roeselare borders on: a. Oostnieuwkerke (municipality of Staden) b. Hooglede (municipality of Hooglede) c. Gits (municipality of Hooglede) d. Lichtervelde (municipality of Lichtervelde) e. Koolskamp (municipality of Ardooie) f. Ardooie, with hamlet Tasse (municipality of Ardooie) g. Kachtem (municipality of Izegem) h. Izegem (municipality of Izegem) i.

The Saint-Amands Church is a neo Roman church from 1869-1872, mostly built in brick. The townhall consists of two parts. The old part dates from 1770-71 and is partly built in Rococostyle. In 1924 was a modern part added, with a belfry tower at the corner. Under the present-day grand place are the rests of the cityhall and the old belfry from ca 1260 that collapsed on the 30th October 1704. These rests were discovered again about ten years ago when the grand place was restored. The Minor Seminary (Klein Seminarie) is a building with parts from the 17th till the 20th century. Original it was a cloister. In 1806 started the school 'Klein Seminarie' where Albrecht Rodenbach studied and where Guido Gezelle and Hugo Verriest teached. The additional church was built at the beginning of the 18th century. The nunnery of the Arme Klaren was founded in 1867. Around 1871, they added a small church. In 1868-1871 was the monastery for the fathers redemptorists (paters redemptoristen) built with in 1872-1874 a neo Gothic church, consecrated to Lady Mary of Everlasting Support. The parish church of the Sacred Heart is a church from 1933. It's a quite modern church with art deco characteristics that was built when, during the southern urbanisation, a separate Sacred Heart Parish was founded. The Protestant church, also called 'Geuzentempel', is a small church from 1877. The Brewery Rodenbach. Just out of the city centre, in the village of Rumbeke, lies the Castle of Rumbeke at the Domain 'Sterrebos'. In the city centre lies the old municipal cemetery. Musea Roeselare has a few musea such as the National Cycling Museum (WieMu). There are art galleries for example the Galery Alfons Blomme. In the tower of the Saint-Michaels church is the bell-tower museum. You can arrange a visit to see the filmmuseum which is a private collection. Public parks There is the Domain 'Sterrebos' and nature reserve 'De Kleiputten'. In the city centre you can take a rest in a few parks such as 'De Grote Bassin' which is a lake with green surroundings for example 'Het Sint-Sebastiaanspark' and 'Het Noordhof'. De 'Kleine Bassin' and 'De Ronde Kom' are two smaller lakes. You have also 'Het Rodenbachpark', 'Het Collegepark' and 'Het Heilig Hartpark' that are nice resting places in the city. You can enjoy the silence of the old municipal cemetery in the Groenestraat, the park of the famous inhabitants in popular language. In summer, there are parkconcerts in 'Het Sint-Sebastiaanspark', better known as 'De Grote Bassin'. The idea of 'garden-suburb' arised in the neighbourhood of Roeselare at the beginning of the last century. So was 'Batavia' one of the first garden-suburbs in Belgium. Shopping Roeselare has an important commerce centre. The most famous shopping-street is 'De Ooststraat'. The city centre is one big shopping-quarter. Important yearly shopping-events are 'De Winkelnacht' (= shopping-night), 'De Batjes' (= summer-sale), fun fairs, Christmas-shopping, street-events for example 'De Westlaanpromenade'. Carnival and 'De Groote Stooringe' are city-festivals with a cultural importance. 'De Brugsesteenweg' is an approach road with a lot of medium size retail trade. Events The weekly market on Tuesday morning is a tradition in Roeselare and is organized at the Grand Place, 'De Botermarkt' and 'Het Polenplein'. These 3 squares are pedestrian precinct. On the 1st May, the inhabitants celebrate Labour Day at the station-square. Each year on the National Holiday (the 21st July) there is a street run with music. Economy Roeselare is in West-Flanders a regional commerce centre. There are a few shopping-streets in the city centre: Ooststraat, Noordstraat, Sint-Amandsstraat, Manestraat, Wallenstraat, Zuidstraat etc. These are situated around 4 squares: de Grote Markt (the Grand Place), het Polenplein, de Botermarkt en het De Coninckplein. There is also de Ardooisesteenweg, an approach road near the railway-station. Along the restored inner ring road (Noordlaan, Westlaan...) and the approach road Brugsesteenweg are a lot of big stores. In the quarter 'Schiervelde' along the outer ring road is the Expo located. In this hall are commercial events where businesses show their services to business-people, -friends and the public. Examples of such events are: de Jaarbeurs, de Bouwbeurs, Agro Expo and Roslar Expo. In Roeselare is the head-office and printing-business of Roularta Media Group located. The regional Television WTV-FOCUS broadcasts from the Accent Business Park. Roeselare is also known for the foodindustry (Soubry) and the lightdesign. The most important business-sites and industrial estates are located to the north of Roeselare-city in Beveren and to the east along the canal Roeselare-Leie and the factory site 'Mandeldal'. Transport and traffic Roeselare has a central situation along the most important north-south connecting roads through the province. The highway A17/E403 passes by the city and has three exits to Roeselare. The road Brugge-Torhout-Roeselare-Menen (N32) dates from the Austrian time and runs parallel to the A17/E403. De Westlaan, a half small ring road, leads the road-user around the historic centre of the city. A more recent ring road (R32) surrounds the whole built-up area of Roeselare and links also up to the highway A17. At the end of 2014, the software of the parkingguidesystem was renewed. Along the approach roads, the motor drivers are informed about free parkings. The most important parkings in the centre are 'Wallenparking', 'De Munt' and 'B-Parking Station'. When the city centre is shopping precinct, inhabitants and visitors are advised to use for example the parking of the Expo and / or to come into the centre with public transport (train, bus). The city has a railway-station, the station of Roeselare, with two rails on the line Brugge-Kortrijk. There is a half-hourly connection service with both cities. Near the railway-station is a busstation with 11 platforms. When the station was built in 1976-1979, it looked modern at the time with a raising railway that replaced four level crossings. At the end of 2007, the municipality and several partners of public transport organizations decided to modernize the neighbourhood of the station. They invest together 35 million euro. The work was planned to be done in 2012 but they worked at the new building of the station until the summer of 2018. Meanwhile are the underground parking and new busstation ready. The surroundings of the station are mainly shopping precinct. Sport and leisure Since 1910, two football-clubs dominated in Roeselare: Sportvereniging Roeselare (after World War I known as SK Roeselare) and Football Club Roeselare (FC). In 1999 fused both clubs and in 2005 played that new club for the first time in the first division. In 2010 reduced the club back to the second division. The quarter 'Krottegem' and home of FC Roeselare started in 2000 again with that club. Roeselare had a restored municipal swimming-bath, 'het Spillebad'. Since the summer of 2018, there is the new swimming-bath 'Sportoase Schiervelde'. There is sportinfrastructure in the villages of Beveren, Rumbeke and Roeselare proper (such as the Schiervelde Stadium, home of KSV Roeselare).

I first visited the tiny Mediterranean country of Malta in the early 50s. I stayed for 5 magnificent years. It was where I found my passion for things archaeological. I was Associated Press’s stringer on the island (amongst other things) when I was invited to join Cambridge University’s archaeological team under the direction of Dr. David Trump, to record artifacts and excavations at the catacombs of St. Agatha’s in Rabat, adjoining the ancient capital of M’dina. Prior to this I had been assigned the task of recording (photographically) many of the artifacts currently displayed in the churches that abound on this small catholic island and many of which dated back to the historic Knights of Malta. (1530-1798). My assignment at that time came from the then Central Office of Information, now replaced by the Department of Tourism and Heritage Malta. Six years ago I returned to my beloved Malta for the first time in some 50 odd years. (‘Odd’ being the operative word here!) The only item I excavated on this occasion however was my lovely wife Rosaria. I stayed for another 4 years and left I must admit a broken hearted man. The heart I should add that I had bequeathed to my beloved Malta. Although the country was moving ahead by leaps and bounds since severing its ties with Great Britton and now becoming one of the newest members of the European Union (EU), it had lost or perhaps better described, was losing, its focus on the one element that truly held its passport to greatness in the future, the archaeological and historic past that is surely unequaled anywhere in the world. Across the island magnificent remains of this glorious past stood unattended and uncared for, the public even in government controlled sites like St. Paul’s Catacombs were allowed to wander unescorted, allowing them to add graffiti and untold damage to this magnificent site. By contrast across the street the magnificent catacombs of St. Agatha’s with its amazing original fresco’s remained intact only because the site is owned and maintained by the Sacred Order of the Society of St. Peter amp; St. Paul, whose monastery and school is located above this remarkable crypt and catacomb complex. Fr. Victor Camilleri whose side I was privileged to work at during the 50’s, still to this day (although his sight is almost gone) continues to safeguard some of Malta’s most sacred and amazing treasures. Over the past few weeks I had the opportunity to again re visit with Victor and once again explore some of my old haunts. Certainly there have now been changes. It appears that the preservation on many of the ancient sites are under the care of private contractors though it was my impression that the government still retains an active involvement. Protective covers have been placed over some of the more spectacular archaeological sites to provide a modicum of weather protection, though somewhat taking from their previous visual splendor. I discovered a new and very pleasant visitor’s center at the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra site. However sites like “Clapham Junction” with the remarkable and unexplained ‘cart ruts’, sit unsupervised and unprotected! I took the time to re visit the Palace State Rooms and the Armory which by the way contains a collection unequaled of weaponry used by the Knights in the fortification of their home for several hundred years. Though as remarkable as it is, it lacks attention to detail and the atmosphere brings no excitement to what should in this archaeologist’s opinion be a lifelong memorable experience. The same could be said of the Palace Staterooms with their magnificent paintings and memorabilia. Mother nature has done her part in the preservation of much that remains on the Island but the time has come for the government to step up and preserve the remarkable wealth that history has placed in their hands. I recall a conversation with a fellow archaeologist in Egypt some years ago when he described the Pyramids as being Egypt’s Oil Well! Meaning of course that the countries ancient treasures would be its source of wealth for as long as they were maintained and treasured.

PATRICK WENSINK Kernels We were owned by a dog. You heard me, the team with the best record in the American Basketball Association was controlled by a damned Pekinese. What does that tell you? Zippy had a courtside seat, went to league owners’ meetings, even traveled first class to away games. Hey, that pooch’s paychecks never bounced, so who am I to complain? But I’ll tell you what, even when we won we still lost. You know? * Artis Renfro, now there’s a name I haven’t thought of in years. Had one of those grins, like everything is alright, nothing to sweat here. But those big dark eyes told you to eat a cancer sandwich most days. I figured it was because I was white. But now, thinking back, maybe just because I was alive. Period. That’s probably how he got away with never practicing. That grin charmed his way out, but those eyes kept you at a distance. The best player in the league does not miss every practice, only to show up on game nights scoring twenty and not have something up his sleeve. Some said CIA. Some said Black Panthers. Some said worse. * I’m not stupid. I know the dog didn’t actually own the team. John and Louise Ketchum did. But as dingy as those two were, Zippy might as well have been calling the shots. * Life was wild in the late 60s. That was when the barnstormer still existed. Somehow, I got lucky enough to sit next to the action and babble into my microphone for the entire nine-year mess. Part professional basketball squad, part marketing experiment. They won’t make another Kentucky Colonels, which I suppose is why you are writing this book. * Silky Leibovitz and Sulky Horowitz. The Israeli Air Force. The Hebrew Heartthrobs. * Hell, Zippy was almost what you would consider the most stable part of the Colonels organization. Calling the dog owner was just a publicity trick. That little guy wasn’t all that much different than Penny Ann Early or that unfortunate “Moonshine Night” fiasco. I understood why John pulled all those stunts. He had to pull those stunts. Basketball wasn’t everything, but it was damn close for our owner. But sometimes that thing you love is the sack of cement dragging you to the bottom of the river. * The Ohio River, in those days, was not a body of water you wanted to spend much time in. Some said dirty. Some said polluted. Some said worse. * The Ohio River, in those days and in these, divided Indiana and Kentucky. But it’s not the only thing separating the two. * Zippy was treated like a prince and Louise loved that scruffy little cuff-chewer like the son she couldn’t carry. John loved all the players like sons for the same reason. He was pretty young to be so successful. Tanned, handsome, large bank accounts. You always thought he could have found someone prettier than Louise, but that fact just made you admire him more. First time we spoke was over the phone: “Carl, how are you, this is John Ketchum.” We small talked like we should. I had a hint back then that he’d be phoning. “I’m calling on behalf of the Kentucky Colonels basketball team. We’re joining the ABA, going to give the NBA a run for its money,” he said. “Everyone here is a big fan of your work. I heard you once call a women’s field hockey game, wow! Riveting.” John had a way of knowing things like this, he had a way of making words turn your back prickly, thinking you’re just about the most important pile of bone and flesh God ever knocked off the assembly line. I always assumed this talent is what snagged him millions in the restaurant biz. It’s no secret he also used this charm on himself with disastrous results. I was reduced to calling watermelon seed spitting contests and tractor pulls back then. Mae was pregnant with our second. Our little girl, Debbie, couldn’t get around without crutches. The bills were piling up, so Ketchum’s timing couldn’t have been better. John continued: “Well, we’re going to need an announcer, Carl. Our owner, Zippy, he’s a Pekinese show dog, well he’d like to offer you the job.” * Back then, Louisville was a cigarette town. It was a bourbon town. It was a thoroughbred town. The weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby were always the sweetest. Horse racing, especially jockeying, was exclusively a gentleman’s world in the 1960s. It pretty much is today, but it was so much more so back then. Until Penny Ann Early, of course. * Divine and naïve, those are the words I’d use to describe that era. Those nine ABA years. You forget that grown adults can be either divine or naïve, let alone both. But I was infected by John Ketchum and the rest of them. Walking into the Louisville Gardens—some drafty hangar with bleachers—before games, moving from the smell of the river and bird noises to that heavy cloud of cigar smoke hanging over the court, was a transformation. A somersault. We were all away from our lives and women and collection agencies, if only for a few hours and it felt guilty. It was exciting. * They didn’t break the mold with Artis Renfro, they rigged it together out of broken glass and sharp metal. They created the most god-gifted athlete I’ve ever seen. Renfro proceeded to not only break that mold, but pack it full of explosives, wrap it in brown paper and detonated it on someone’s doorstep. Probably the governor’s, if I know Artis. The Colonels didn’t know what to do with a six-five power forward who spent post-game press conferences discussing Nietzsche and American prison reform. Artis would reserve seats for his friends—guys like Bobby Seale, you know? Intense, mean fellas with pistol bulges under their coats. Never. Not once. Ever. In the three or four years Artis was a Colonel did I see him at practice. You tell me on what other planet a team’s leading scorer would never come to a single shoot around. Who knows what he was doing instead. But there were incidents. * Herschel “Silky” Liebovitz and Jacob “Sulky” Horowitz. Where John Ketchum found them I’ll never remember. They both played their college ball at a rabbinical seminary in New York. They spoke with the thickest accents, like longshoremen. Their hair, holy smokes, thick beards and those little curls—black locks twisted over their sideburns. You could spot them from a mile with those yarmulkes—those sweat-stained cloth patches. In Colonels’ green and white, no less. Silky, so small there was no clearance to dribble between his legs. Sulky, face of a stroke victim’s, but large hands that would toss three pointers like nothing. They were nice enough guys, but you always sensed you weren’t getting the full story. Like there was some self-censorship happening. They’d probably be more fondly remembered today if people weren’t so confused at the time. * “Carl, buddy, we have a new sponsor this week,” John would say. “Really play them up. Really make ‘em sparkle.” We always had a new sponsor. “I’m worried we won’t be able to afford gas for the bus back from New Jersey. We need these guys.” It was always the bus or the arena rent or salary for some new prospect. Apparently, Zippy wasn’t so good at balancing the books. That damn dog always made Ketchum shoulder the burden. I imagine other squads did dumb stuff to raise cash, too. We were just sort of the valedictorians. Human horse racing night. Indoor snowball fight night. Rock concerts. Polka concerts. Anything to get a ticket purchased. And then of course, there was December 17, 1974. “We’re celebrating Kentucky heritage,” John argued when I made a face. That was John Ketchum’s other talent: he could massage a conversation so his opinion always sounded like common sense. Even when he made the hotdog guys walk up and down the aisles selling corn liquor. It seemed like a reasonable idea until all hell broke loose. * Kentucky is a tobacco state. Kentucky is a bourbon state. Kentucky is not much of a corn-growing state. Kentucky, honestly, isn’t a basketball state. We left that stuff to Hoosiers. * No, there wasn’t a nice, soft term for Silky and Sulky back then like there is now. Some said buddies. Some said roommates. Some said worse. * Oh, there were all sorts of stories. You have to remember, this was the south in the late 60s. You’d see him after games, talking to men in long jackets. Whispers. One time the Colonels went on a road trip to San Diego to play the Stars. A few days into the trip, no Renfro, of course. But something weird happens. This congressman from California, Benjamin Darnell, comes up missing. Artis plays all three games against the Stars and when we’re on our way back to Louisville there’s news of that politician without a head, floating in Mission Bay. Horrible stuff. Bad luck like that was always following the team around. We’re in Memphis playing the Pros in 1970. What a shame. I grew up in Memphis, but after Martin Luther King was shot, that place wasn’t the same. Like a relative who ate too many paint chips. They’re at Thanksgiving, but you don’t know how they have the strength to chew. Anyway, one time we’re there, no Artis for a few days, he wanders into the locker room ten minutes before tipoff, knows all the plays, understands the strategy, scores thirty and we go home. Next day, I pick up the paper and a very outspoken member of James Earl Ray’s defense team was found dead. Missing an important part of the body above the shoulders and sinking to the bottom of the Mississippi. Those weren’t the only two, just the first that stick out in my mind as we get talking. * People from Indiana are called Hoosiers. Who knows why? I’m sure they have names for Kentuckians, too. Some say Kentuckians hate Hoosiers. Some say Hoosiers hate Kentuckians. Some say worse. * Penny Ann Early was the first female jockey in history. She was tiny like a gymnast, but rode the hell out of a horse. It made a big splash when one owner let her ride at Churchill Downs. Eventually, though, as these things happen to happen, other riders and owners boycotted her races. Three whole races, which is a lifetime at the track. Needless to say, owners stopped giving Penny work pretty quickly. John met her at a cocktail party. That little thing didn’t complain an ounce, but Ketchum saw what was happening with her career. He didn’t like it and that light bulb popped on. No, I doubt Penny ever touched a ball in her life. She was a farm girl. That didn’t stop Zippy from offering a contract, though. Her lack of experience didn’t prevent the dog from having a special uniform made: a Colonels turtleneck sweater with a short skirt. The program listed her as #3, probably representing the boycotted races. * Silky and Sulky, they were consistently leaders in scoring and assists. After a while, maybe a season or so, you’d hear more hacking, Yiddish tones spoken in the stands. Gentile high school boys around Louisville took to wearing yarmulkes when they shot hoops. It was hip for a while. Most fellas in town didn’t say anything about this subtle trend. But you could tell by their voices they didn’t understand. All around us, the world was changing. Basketball was the same, but the world? Forget it. Guys on the street would ask me, “How’s it legal for them two to wear hats during a game?” or “Don’t you think them funny curls get in their eyes?” or “You s’pose they wear a jock if they ain’t circumcised?” People were so confused by Silky and Sulky’s religion they never fully embraced those boys. But I think that was okay by them, because, for some reason, nobody ever pointed out the elephant in the room. * Just like all adults were once babies, all bourbon was once moonshine. The whole deal starts by boiling corn and water and wheat. That’s roughly how distilling works. After it’s distilled, the stuff’s clear as ice and strong as rocket fuel. It’s only corn liquor at that point. A top shelf, smooth whiskey takes about nine years of rest in a barrel for it to come out different. That stuff is darker, more flavorful, but still strong. * There were a number of other strange coincidences like that. And it was never outwardly spoken, between media men like me, players or even fans, but people had theories. Artis’ head and heart were never in basketball, he was always thinking something else. Something beyond where our beyond is located, you know? All I do know is that in 1974, midway through the season, Artis missed some practices—no big deal. But we had the Pacers in town that night and Renfro missed the game. Kid never missed a game. We traveled to New York to play the Nets a few days later. Renfro’s not on the plane. Doesn’t show up to the game. That was it. Poof. He became a warm breath on a cold day. Our star player just vanished. Artis Renfro never witnessed Moonshine Night. * So now she’s not only the first female jockey, but the world’s first female pro ball player, too. John Ketchum had a flair, you can’t deny it. Fans came for the first few games, but only saw this tiny blonde girl warm-up. Before the buzzer, she’d take foul shots and rebound and pass in her skirt. Penny’s head barely up to Artis’ chest. But the coach, like owners at the racetrack, refused to put her in. Penny sat for three weeks. Who knows what she thought of the whole deal. That young lady would just smile and direct all questions to her owner, Zippy. Finally, after John and Louise’s urging from behind the bench, the coach wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and hollered down: “Early, get in the game.” It looked to me like Penny didn’t even know where to stand. Artis directed her to take the ball from the ref and inboud a pass to Silky. The ref didn’t blow his whistle for a second, a little stunned. If you’re thinking this is a movie and the crowd all stood and cheered for this giant leap in women’s lib or something, you’re dreaming. There was mostly silence and nosebleed seat catcalls when the whistle echoed. Poor Penny, her cheeks were blood-colored. She took a breath and bounced it to Silky. The clock started rolling and the point guard went to work. Penny kind of half-skipped behind him for a step or two. She smiled. John Smiled. I even smiled, but kept it neutral on the air. The coach yelled for a timeout before Silky touched half court. Penny was back on the bench. Quietly—not as quiet as Artis—she disappeared from the sideline after that. * “Getcher ‘shine,” they yelled behind me. The whole first half, I was trying to call the game and this noise filled the air. It drove our producer nuts. “One for a dollar, three-for-two,” they yelled. Popcorn guys balanced a tray of little glass shots, clear medical-stinking corn liquor sloshing. All around the Louisville Gardens: the sound of gasping breaths, the sound of powerful hoots, the sound of shoving out of the rows on the verge of getting sick. * They were roommates. Silky and Sulky owned a house together in the Highlands. Nobody thought much of it. Yeah, I suppose they could have afforded individual pads. They just got along so well together. They had a New Year’s party once. The place was spotless. It was hard to imagine a couple of bachelors lived there. Where were the stacks of dishes, where were the girlie posters, where was all dirty clothes? All night we talked about a cleaning lady, “she must be on retainer,” we joked. The men laughed and drank their wine and talked to one another. Never so much as touched the other’s shoulder to say “we’re out of spinach dip.” Sure, it seems obvious now what was going on. I’d like to say it was because the Israeli Air Force was so good at playing ball that people ignored the their personal lives. But we didn’t. We just didn’t think about it at first. It was something you heard about or your uncle told poker table jokes about. It wasn’t something that seemed possible. The mind has a wonderful way of fogging details. Obscuring the big picture even when you’re in it. Especially when you’re in the big picture. Silky and Sulky played on the team until it folded in 1976. After a while, people whispered and people stopped coming to their parties. As far as I know they’re still roommates. Kind of sweet, don’t you think? * Zippy’s ownership came to an abrupt halt during the third quarter of Moonshine Night. Five thousand corn liquor-drunk fans only need one technical foul to get nasty. The Indianapolis Pacers were our biggest rival. Kentuckians hate Hoosiers. When the Pacers’ center tripped our center, it took about nothing before one bozo ran out on the court, fists swinging. Ten men in basketball shorts and that guy bunched together, shoving and pulling themselves into a clot. Next thing you know, half the stands were empty. Kentuckians hate Hoosiers, but drunks hate other drunks more. It was a mess. I left with a black eye and a cracked incisor. Floorboards were pried up. Both backboards shattered. Blood smeared everywhere. One guy set fire to an entire section of seats. The damage was massive and the Colonels were held responsible. * Zippy did not attend meetings with the Indiana popcorn millionaire. No pooch was present when John Ketchum defaulted on his love for the players and signed over the Colonels to some northerner. He needed to pay off the liquor-related lawsuits and his debt to the arena. This new guy knew popcorn, not basketball, or even marketing. The outlandish stunts stopped, but the team play improved drastically. Still, even when we won we lost. The Colonels folded within a few years. Our second baby was born healthy and after a while Debbie walked all by herself. Things were looking up, but after Ketchum sold, the wind didn’t taste as fresh outside the arena. The new Kentucky Colonels were so well organized and tough we even snagged a championship, but no fans came out. There weren’t enough folks in the seats to hang that cigar smog above the court anymore. It seemed like some nasty interstate joke, doing that to our squad. Only a Hoosier popcorn freak would be so cruel as to change the team name to the Kentucky Kernels.

Lum of Middletown, New York was sent by the American Home Missionary Society to create a church in the Kansas Territory. This would become the first church in the entire territory. Before he came, sermons were given by laymen. The first service of Plymouth Congregational Church was held by Lum on October 1, 1854 in a mudbrick boarding house. Settlers who had come from New England came to the service. Reverend Richard Cordley became a pastor in 1857. This was when the people moved into its first permanent building, called the "Stone Church." Though the building was not completed until 1862. Cordley was an abolitionist and was a free-stater. During the American Civil War, some members were killed by pro-Confederate soldiers in the Lawrence Massacre of 1863. Cordley's home was burned, but the church building was not hurt.
