We have recently published that the murine version of mast cell beta tryptase, mast cell protease 6 (mMCP-6), is involved in the induction of airway hyperresponsiveness in an experimental model of allergic asthma.
Mast cell tryptase has been implicated in asthma models before using tryptase inhibitors in various animal models. However, our study is the first that demonstrates a role for mMCP-6 in asthma using knock out mice. Interestingly, loss of mMCP-6 reduced airway hyperresponsiveness despite that in these mice an almost normal inflammatory response was initiated upon allergen challenge. For more information, please see: http://www.jimmunol.org/content/193/10/4783.long.
During 2014, we have also improved our technique to quantify mast cell progenitors in murine tissues by flow cytometry and successfully analyzed these rare cells directly in the lung and peritoneum of mice. A short while ago a manuscript on "Distinguishing mast cell progenitors from mature mast cells in mice" was submitted for publication.
Since summer 2014 the group has welcomed two new group members: In August, Erika Mendez Enriquez from Mexico came to join the lab as post-doc. In September, Maya Salomonsson from Åre joined as a project assistant and we are currently in the process of recruiting her as PhD-student. In November my 2nd PhD-student, Behdad Zarnegar, successfully completed his half time thesis titled "Mast Cells and Their Progenitors in Viral Respiratory Infections".


What is advisable home care for healthy teeth?
Your personal home care plays an important role in achieving a healthy smile. Your personal home care starts by eating balanced meals, reducing the number of snacks you eat, and correctly using the various dental aids that help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease.
Tooth brushing – Brush your teeth at least twice a day (especially before going to bed at night) with a soft bristle brush and toothpaste.
Place the brush at a 45 degree angle to the gums and gently brush using a small, circular motion, ensuring that you always feel the bristles on the gums. Brush the outer, inner, and biting surfaces of each tooth. Use the tip of the brush to clean the inside of the front teeth. Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
Rinsing – It is important to rinse your mouth with water after brushing and after meals if you are unable to brush. If you are using an over-the-counter mouth wash for rinsing, it's a good idea to consult with your dentist on its appropriateness for you.
Use other dental aids as recommended by your dentist : interdental brushes, rubber tip stimulators, tongue cleaners, irrigation devices, fluoride, medicated rinses, etc., can all play a role in good dental home care.
A dental implant is a tooth root placed in the gums. These are made of highly compatible titanium alloy with surface treatments which get bonded biologically with the gums and jaw bone allowing rigid fixation.
Their highly noble characteristics lead to biocompatible adaptation in the human body.
If you're feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth or simply want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile. Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due to advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials, but also because patients are becoming increasingly focused on improving their overall health.
Is it possible to improve my coloured/stained teeth?
Professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
What is Teeth grinding? Does it require treatment?
Teeth grinding, called bruxism by dentists, is a condition that affects millions of people, most commonly caused by environmental factors such as stress. A mild case of teeth grinding may not require treatment, rather simple stress relieving techniques and lifestyle changes.
Chronic, long term teeth grinding, on the other hand, is serious and can lead to major problems including jaw disorders, headaches and damaged teeth.
1. One of the first steps in teeth grinding treatment is to stop the patient from grinding or clenching the teeth. In most cases, a mouth guard or night guard is used to stop teeth grinding. Teeth Grinding Mouth Guard is a customized, removable appliances made to fit over your teeth and prevent teeth grinding. Mouth guards are typically worn at night, though some patients do benefit from wearing mouth guards during the day particularly in high stress situations such as while driving.
2. The next step is to correct the source of the problem, be it malocclusion, environmental factors, or TMJ disorder. Chronic teeth grinding often leaves teeth worn, chipped or broken. Once the harmony is restored to the bite and teeth grinding is prevented with a mouthguard, the next focus is on repairing damage caused by teeth grinding..
Rubber dam is a thin sheet of latex or nitrile , used in dentistry to isolate the operative site(one or more teeth) from the rest of the mouth. It can be used at the time of root canal or filling of teeth. With use of rubber dam complete isolation of the teeth from saliva, blood or gingival fluid exudate is possible. It also prevents rest of the mouth from source of infection, as in root canal treatment. And protects the tooth to be treated from, bacteria of saliva.
Rubber dam protects patients from swallowing or inhaling instruments.
What precautions do I need to take after the wisdom tooth removal procedure?
First 24 hours after the dental procedure, soft and cold room temperature(semi-solid) food/liquids are to be consumed.
Prevention & Early intervention is the best way for the painless dentistry.
Your tooth is so strong that it needs a diamond drill to pierce it. At the same time it can be destroyed by chocolates.
Yes, the sugar present in your food can react with bacteria present in plaque which in turn produce acid. This acid if remain in contact of tooth surface for longer time, will cause demineralization resulting in cavities formation.
Dental caries have several types, depending upon how extensive they are or which surface they involve.
A filling is enough if the caries are limited to enamel or dentin. If they extend in pulp, you will need a root canal treatment.
Dental pain in the tooth, radiating to ear, head and jaw Prolonged sensitivity & pain to hot or cold liquids Inability to eat on the affected side.
What is difference between crown and onlay?
An onlay requires only the removal of the weak areas of the tooth.
The onlay is then bonded to the healthy tooth.This leaves a larger and healthier tooth structure intact.
Dental fluorosis (also termed mottled enamel) is an extremely common disorder, characterized by hypomineralization of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation.
What is the right age for 1st dental visit?
As soon as the first tooth erupts the care starts.
Preventive Dental Treatments start from 3 years, which includes topical fluoride application and use of pit and fissure sealants.
Corrective measures need to be taken as soon as needed.
Assist most children can't clean their teeth adequately until they can write!
Don't use adult toothpaste before the age of six.
Brush teeth twice a day, in the morning and before bed time.
A unique pattern of dental decay in young children due to prolonged and improper nursing/feeding habit. when babies have tendency to sleep with milk bottle in mouth, which allows fluid to accumulate in mouth for a longer period of time.
All the maxillary teeth are involved rapidly, mandibulr anterior teeth are usually spared because of protection by tongue and cleansing action of saliva due to presence of the orifice of the duct of sublingual glands very close to lower incisors.
The child who has nursing caries has an increased risk of developing caries even in permanent dentition.
Use of fluoridared tooth paste, fluoridated water have dental caries protecting effect.
Better home care and effective plaque control by proper brushing, improved nutrition, decrease in amount and frequency of sugar, avoiding sticky and refined food can help prevent caries.
Routine dental check up, timely professional care and early intervention, preventive measures like, fluoride varnish, pit and fissure sealants can help.
Pit and fissure sealants are a way to prevent caries and protect the tooth.It is a thin plastic coating placed in the pit and fissure of the teeth to act as barrier to decay. These are applied in posterior teeth, particularly molars with deep fissures or grooves that are very difficult to clean. These sites are most susceptible to developing decay.
Sealants can prevent pit and fissure caries initiation. They can also arrest caries progression by providing a physical barrier that inhibits micro-organisms and food particles from collecting in pits and fissures.
If not taken care of , it can affect the permanent teeth as well.
Studies reveal that dental caries are very common and most common cause of nutritional deficiency, and decreased chewing efficiency in children.
Healthy teeth develop good speech.
When it comes to the health of your teeth, you really are what you eat. The foods you choose and how often you eat them can affect your general health and the health of your teeth and gums.
What is importance of routine dental check up?
Dental diseases are commonly seen and if not treated they do not resolve themselves and tend to progress.
Regular check up can lead to early diagnosis of any disease and help stop its progression to a more severe stage.
It can lead to diagnosis of diseases like oral cancer or certain jaw cysts which can otherwise be ignored by patient .
Early and less complicated treatment with better prognosis/outcome.
What is better, fixed teeth or removable?
It all depends on individual case factors. For a given situation, where healthy natural teeth are present on both sides of a missing tooth a fixed one is a better choice to make, as it does not have to be removed on a daily basis and it is of the same size as previous natural tooth being replaced.
However when fixed teeth are not possible removable dentures can be the option.
A loose denture with poor gum support can be fixed firmly with the gums by the help of anchorage from dental implants.
The chewing efficiency has been documented with scientific research to be way better than conventional simple denture.
Will the cap(crown) ever come out while eating?
The permanent cap/crown is fixed on to the tooth with a permanent adhesive cement of the highest standards.
It does not come out while eating or chewing food in most cases. however, one must avoid highly sticky food like an eclairs chocolate or caramel containing chocolates.
Clean your dentures regularly with soft brush and nonabrasive tooth paste Clean and rinse regularly.
Use denture cleansing tablets twice a week.
Keep a cloth or water filled vessel beneath, while cleaning to prevent breakage if they fall.
Frequently there is not enough space for normal eruption for the as by the time they come, other teeth would have occupied the space in the dental arch.
They are not easily cleansable because of there remote location and hence lead to frequent food lodgement ,follwed by decay/infection/dental pain in them.
9. Whenever in doubt, remember an early diagnosis is life saving!
Anyone can get oral cancer, however some factors may increase your liklihood of developing the disease.
I eat a lot of supari/areca nut, is that also harmful for my teeth?
Certainly Yes! Areca nut in any form is harmful. Be it only eating supari or eating the combined forms such as Paan (betel quid), Gutkha (sweetened mixture of areca nut, tobacco) and Mainpuri tobacco.
It is now included under cancer causing substance.
People wearing dentures often complain of the dentures being loose while eating or speaking and this can lead to embarrassing situations.
With use of a few implants your dentures can be secured so that such a situation can be prevented.
Placement is a painless procedure as your dentist gives you a local anesthetic. Healing after surgery is usually also painless and uneventful.
You can resume regular work immediately, just follow the instructions provided by your dentist.
The first implant was placed more than 50years ago and has worked till now. There is no reason that the implant shouldn't last you a lifetime as long as you maintain them daily and have them checked periodically.
Just as in healthy teeth, implants will stay healthy in a healthy mouth.
A space maintainer is an appliance that is custom made by a dentist or orthodontist in acrylic or metal. It can be either removable or cemented in a child's mouth.
During a painless procedure, a dentist fixes a jewel on the tooth surface with cement. The jewel does not damage tooth tissues and has no side effects – except for the increased charm of your smile!

Di martino History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The surname Di martino came from the Latin name Martinus, which is a derivative of Mars, who was the Roman god of fertility and war.The popularity of the name Martin is due to Saint Martin de Tours, who was one of the best known saints in the Western World. With the spread of Christianity, people named their children after saints in the hope that the children might enjoy that saint's patronage. Martin is also one of the few saints' names, other than the names of Old English saints, found in England before the Norman Conquest.
Early Origins of the Di martino family
The surname Di martino was first found in Brescia, where Theobaldo Martinengo, born in 930, was very important to the empire of Otto I. In 953 he donated 15 castles in the area to the empire, and his son Tebaldo led 12,000 men fighting against the Greeks for the empire. His son Leopardo became master of sixty castles, one of which he named Martinengo.
Early History of the Di martino family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Di martino research. More information is included under the topic Early Di martino History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Di martino Spelling Variations
Enormous variation in spelling and form characterizes those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. This is caused by two main factors: regional tradition, and inaccuracies in the recording process. Before the last few hundred years, scribes spelled names according to their sounds. Spelling variations were the unsurprising result. The variations of Di martino include De Martini, De Martinis, De Martino, DeMartini, DeMartinis, DeMartino, Martignon, Martignone, Martignoni, Martin, Martina, Martinati, Martinato, Martinelli, Martinetti, Martini, Martinilli, Martinis, Martino, Martinoni, Martinotti, Martinuzzi and many more.
Early Notables of the Di martino family (pre 1700)
Prominent among bearers of this family in early times was Simone Martini, known for his strides in the development of Italian Gothic Painting in the early 14th century. One of his well known works is The Road to Cavalry, a vivid painting with the influence of expressionism and drama from Giotto. Martini was said to be the most distinguished of Duccio's disciples. Another member of the Di martino lineage is Guglielmo Martini, who became senator of Palermo in 1335. More famous is Francesco di Giorgio, better known as Francesco di Siena, born in 1439. He was trained as a painter, but became...

Q: "John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt [is]/[isn't]" Given the two separate facts:

*

*John Doe is an uninteresting name.

*Usain Bolt is an interesting name.
which of the following statements is correct:

A - "John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt is"

or

B - "John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt isn't"

In other words, why does the following equation seem true?

"John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt is" = "John Doe is not
  an interesting name. Usain Bolt is."

(even though they are logically different).

A: I basically agree with Andrew Leach. (And I upvoted him. :-) Let me add a few words too long to fit in a comment.
When you omit words from a sentence in this manner, as Andrew says, the reader can only assume that you meant the same words as in the previous clause or sentence. "John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt is." The reader can only assume you mean "Usain Bolt is an uninteresting name." Which of course isn't what you are trying to say.
Prefixing a word with "un" is not the same as saying "not". It's a new word. It is perfectly reasonable to say that something is "not uninteresting". Indeed, saying something is "is not uninteresting" is not necessarily the same as saying that it "is interesting". It would be taken as much milder. I am reminded of the time that a friend of mine said to a woman that she was "not unattractive". I laughed and told him that he must be a real hit with the ladies when he used that sort of grand flattery. Telling someone she "is not ugly" is not the same as saying she "is pretty", and his comment was basically saying the former.
Update
RE David Schwartz comment
If the "rule" was not that when words are omitted like this, the reader assumes that the omitted words are the same as those found in the previous clause or sentence, how could it be clear from context? How would the reader know what to fill in?
In this case, you are thinking that the reader should/could assume that you mean "Usain Bolt is an interesting name." But how would he know that your point is that Usain Bolt is the opposite of John Smith, and not the same? Just because you think Usain Bolt is an obviously interesting name doesn't mean your reader does. Perhaps where he comes from there are more people named Usain Bolt than there are people named John Smith. Perhaps he finds the noble trade of blacksmith fascinating, and his religious faith is deeply inspired by the Gospel of John, but he sees nothing interesting in either Usain or Bolt.
More realistically, take a case that is not about words themselves. Suppose you wrote, "John Smith is a tall man. Usain Bolt is. Fred Stover is. Roger Miller is." Could you safely assume that the reader would instantly grasp that you mean "Usain Bolt is short. Fred Stover is of average height. Roger Miller is a dwarf." How would he know? The only way he could tell "from context" is if you had already told him the heights of these people earlier, in which case this sentence is superfluous.
Maybe there are cases where someone could figure out things like this from context. But the point of writing is supposed to be to convey information to the reader, not to make him guess what you meant.

A: Your equation is not true.
For Usain Bolt to be an interesting name, the ellipsis is

John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt isn't [an uninteresting name].

In your equation, the ellipsis again omits the noun, but this time it's a different noun.

John Doe is not an interesting name. Usain Bolt is [an interesting name].

When you omit the noun in ellipsis, it must remain the same noun as was previously referenced. Consequently "John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt is" makes no sense. You would need "Usain Bolt is too," which isn't what you want to say.
In each case, to reverse the previous sentence, since the noun must remain the same it is the verb which must change.

A: No, the equation is not true. Double negatives are not allowed in formal standard English, only in dialect and song lyrics and folk tales: "The tar baby, he don't say nothin'." And "I ain't got nobody that I can depend on", a blues song recorded by Bessie Smith and Carlos Santana (not together) and many others.
"John Doe is not an interesting name. Usain Bolt is." is the correct English to express the ideas in sentences 1 and 2. I would add the conjunction "but" between those two sentences, though: John Doe isn't an interesting name, but Usain Bolt is.
"John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt is." is not the correct English for sentence 1 and 2.
"John Doe is an uninteresting name. Usain Bolt isn't." is grammatical English and the meaning is clear, but it's not good style because it expresses a positive -- "Usain Bolt is an interesting name" -- in a negative way; however, context might make that acceptable.
"Still, using a double negative in formal prose is a definite no-no (!) and will lead only to confusion for most readers, who will try to reconfigure the double negative into something algebraically positive." Grammar of double negatives

End Of Term Two – Time For Holidays!
After a busy eleven weeks in 4KM and 4KJ, everyone is looking forward to our two week holiday break!
We have had a terrific Term Two, full of learning and fun. The Tagxedo word cloud below is a snapshot of the last couple of months in 4KM and 4KJ.
Bike Ed has certainly been a highlight of our term. Everyone enjoyed learning about the road rules, practising their riding skills and demonstrating safe riding behaviours out on the road.
Next term will be exciting, as we have our Grade Four camp happening in week three! This will be the first school camp for all students and it will give us a chance to practise our riding skills in the town of Maldon.

Hello Everyone! I went on my first overnight quilt retreat last week, Wednesday through Sunday, and had a great time and got a lot done.
Every year, my guild goes on a 5 day, 4 night retreat to the Red Rooster Retreat Center in Crane Hill, AL. The center is set up for quilters, crafters and other groups up to 23 people.
I've done local retreats, but still had to go home and cook. It was nice to be able to get up from your sewing machine, eat in this lovely dining room, then leave all the dishes for someone else to do. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, too.
The Red Rooster is on Smith Lake. This is the view from the upstairs landing. I was able to grab a table by a window so I could look out and see the lake when my eyes needed a break.
There is a nice pool, where I swam laps one morning, and this is another view of the lake from the top of the steps to the pool.
We each had our own table to spread out all our many projects on.
This was my corner for the week. The empty chair and messy table is mine. I was working on several things at a time and had them all spread out.
There was also a corner seating area to watch football and do handwork if you got tired of sitting at your machine. There were so many beautiful quilts completed during the week, too.
I took my Quilting Life BOM from 2017 to add the borders, too. It was the only quilt I completely finished, but I still accomplished a lot more.
I finished three more Swoon blocks. Now I have 12, only 8 more to go!
I worked on the Cheddar and Indigo blocks and had enough to lay them out to get a feel of what the quilt will look like. I think I'm going to like this a lot!
And finally, I almost finished sewing the blocks together for my Swell quilt. Before I left on Sunday, I was able to get all the blocks sewn into rows then got 4 rows sewn together. I finished sewing all the rows together yesterday! I am now waiting for border fabric to get here to finish the quilt top.
This is the group of great ladies I had the privilege to get to know better and learn things from during the retreat. I hope to return next year.
If you have a chance to go on a retreat yourself, I hope you do. It was a very fun and productive experience. Thanks for stopping by!

It all looks and sounds wonderful – what a beautiful spot that is. So glad you had a fun time – and so many lovely finishes too.

Taking part in Climb2Recovery helped Leslie feel like part of a team again and opened a new chapter in his life
My name is Leslie Binns. I'm an injured ex-serviceman. I served in the Light Dragoons for a little over 13 years reaching the rank of Corporal. I was deployed on operations in Bosnia, Iraq & Afghanistan. In 2009 as part of an Operational Mentoring & Liaison team, I was hit in the face by shrapnel from a roadside bomb whilst on patrol in Afghanistan. Three fellow Afghan soldiers were killed in the incident and I was Evacuated back to the UK. After several operations the integrity of my eye was saved but not my sight, leaving me blind in one eye. Later on I was diagnosed with PTSD.
I found it hard to cope in civilian life and took to the hills and mountains to help remedy the PTSD. I've attempted Everest twice. The first in 2016, I gave up my summit attempt to rescue a dying climber and try to rescue another climber then in 2017 I was thwarted by bad weather and had to help another climber to safety.
I had heard out Climb2Recovery. I applied and the next thing I knew I was sat in a briefing room in Hathersage being introduced to a group of guys with varying degrees of injuries getting ready for our first day on the rock together.
The course was fantastic. A lot of the guys had climbed with each other before. I was made to feel so welcome and instantly felt part of the team. By the end of the first day, it was like we were all good mates. The staff & instructors were all top notch. Whilst maintaining the safety aspect of rock climbing we all had a great time and shared a lot of our experiences with each other. I think as a soldier (wounded or not) you miss the comradeship of being part of a team where you rely on another person to watch your back. I can relate to this with climbing because if your belayer isn't 100% on the ball then you could be in trouble.
What I have taken from climb2recovery is that when things aren't going your way, step down from the metaphorical rock face of everyday life, have a cup of your favourite brew, have a rethink and step up and try again.
Anyone who is contemplating taking part in something like C2R please take the leap of faith. You will not regret it. It has opened up a new chapter in my life for which I am very grateful.

Q: OS errno 13 - Permission Denied MySQL Server I'm having issues with MySQL workbench - I can't seem to start the server.  In the command line, I navigate to:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\

And then run mysqld --initialize
I get the following error:
    mysqld: Can't create directory 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\data\' (OS errno 13 - Permission denied)
2018-12-10T23:18:55.211840Z 0 [System] [MY-013169] [Server] C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\mysqld.exe (mysqld 8.0.11) initializing of server in progress as process 36568

Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?  I already checked the permissions on the MySQL Server 8.0 folder, and have set all the permissions to Allow.

A: You have to give writing permissions to the following folders:
PATH/DATA/
PATH/QUERIES/
PATH/LOG/
for the user who starts the MySQL windows service, which if not a special one you created and use for such purpose, is NETWORK SERVICE.

Rome to reveal hidden Torlonia Collection of Roman treasures
The legendary Torlonia Collection, considered by many as the world's most important private collection of ancient marble sculptures, will at long last go on public display in Rome next year. Palazzo Caffarelli at the city's Capitoline Museums will display 96 pieces from the priceless collection of 620 ancient sculptures in the exhibition The Torlonia Marbles: Collecting Masterpieces, from 25 March 2020 until 10 January 2021.
The revered "collection of collections", which comprises marble, bronze and alabaster statues, busts, bas-reliefs and sarcophagi dating to the ancient Roman era - amassed between the 15th- and 19th centuries - will come to light after being largely hidden away for 70 years.

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. Unlike Addison, my favorite genre is fantasy. I read so much of it, you guys, it's almost embarrassing (not really!). So I figured I have a good sense of the genre enough to do a Top Ten post over it! So here we go!
1. The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. Obviously, you cannot be a fantasy lover without at least reading this series once through (multiple times is recommended). I grew up on a healthy dose of fantasy when I was a little girl. My dad actually read Tolkien's works to us as bedtime stories, so I guess that's why I love fantasy so much. It's practically in my blood.
2. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. This series is near and dear to my heart for oh so many reasons. It spans adolescence and touches you well into your adulthood years. Though I finished these books when I was a teenager, I still feel such strong ties to the HP realm. So many emotions and so much growth in so many different ways.
3. The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. Again, I love LOTR, so these books were definitely up my ally. High fantasy, dragons, elves, dwarves, and the adventure a coming of age story brings with it. I read this series in high school and into college, and I loved every minute of it -wordiness and all.
4. Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. This is some of the best high fantasy I have read since Tamora Pierce in middle school. She writes emotionally and as realistically and gory as you can get when it comes to YA fantasy. Her writing is emotion laden, and I wish so desperately that I could write like her. One of the most brilliant works I've read published post-millennia.
5 & 6. The Song of the Lioness Quartet and The Protector of the Small Quartet by Tamora Pierce. Her books were my first jump into fantasy other than Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. She was the first fantasy series I read as a young adult as well, and boy did these books shape me in ways I didn't even fully realize at the time. I read these books at the perfect time. I was growing and I didn't know who I was, but these subconsciously changed me and reminded me that I was a strong girl and I could grow to be a strong woman. I will be forever thankful to Pierce for cultivating that strength in me. I would give these to any girl (or boy) especially in middle and high school. No questions asked.
7. Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. This series is so endearing. I read them when I was in college, and, having taken college English courses in mythology, I found myself laughing out loud. Yes, these books are funny to students, but there is just something so hilarious if you know the actual mythology. Fantastic series and fantastic middle grade writing.
8. The Graceling Realm series by Kristin Cashore. Though I have my issues with this series, I did quite enjoy them -though I refuse to acknowledge that Bitterblue is part of this series because it's so terrible in my opinion. Fire was my favorite in the entire series with Graceling not far behind. They carried strong heroines and a creative setting that would make any fantasy lover's knees weak.
9. Stardust by Neil Gaiman. This is one of my favorites by Neil Gaiman. It's so fantastical and unlike any book you've ever read. I love it so much. This should be one of the Gaiman books you read, even if you don't necessarily like his writing.
10. Defy by Sara B. Larson. This is a 2014 debut author, and I fell in love with her writing and world building as easily as I did her protagonist, Alexa. Needless to say, she is going to be a big writer in the fantasy genre for years to come.
*Other fantasy authors you should read include: Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, GRR Martin, and Terry Goodkind. They are all adult fantasy, but if you like fantasy, you will get sucked in immediately.
I chose the paranormal genre for my list. I considered choosing fantasy, but though there are some fantasy books that I love, I wasn't sure I could come up with ten really good ones.
Some of my favourite fantasy novels are The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, and Tiger Moon by Antonia Michaelis.
I have heard such good things about Howl's Moving Castle. I saw the Myazaki movie, but I've never had the chance to read the book. Both of the other books you mentioned look great! i will have to add them to my TBR pile! Thanks for the input! I wish I could say I read the books on your TTT post, but I haven't read any of those either! Yay for an ever growing TBR list!


The Rambo V star teased an update about the movie on his Instagram page.
Sylvester Stallone has something he'd like to talk to you about: The filmmaking process.
The 72-year-old legend posted a video to his Instagram this afternoon surrounded by his good old friends, a squat rack and kettlebells, in what he called his "home away from home" (it looks like his home gym) to update fans on the latest development in the making of Rambo 5.
"Usually, when you're in the editing process of a film it can be painful. What you thought was great is not so great," the action star explains. "It's like having your teeth pulled, with no novocaine. You get the picture?" That's some insight people's parents would pay a lot of money to get their kids into USC's film school to learn. And here's Sly, dishing it on Insta for the masses.
Stallone lets fans know in the video that his team behind Rambo V: Last Blood is screening the first cut for the studio today, and they'll go back with notes to get the film ready for a September 20th release. He also teases a surprise ending for the movie.
Sly's legend status, of course, is attributed to his screen career that's given us Rocky and Rambo alike. But it's burnished by the Rocky emblem sweatsuit he's wearing in the Instagram video.
"I know, it looks a little Italian, right? The outfit," The Italian Stallion confesses. "It sort of looks like an Italian Power Ranger. I don't know." We do, though. In another element of the post's film studies theme, Stallone's Italian Power Ranger outfit is, in fact, a replica of the Adidas tracksuit Rocky wears as he washes his Lamborghini in Rocky IV. And it's available for purchase!


The Mach 4, M4X, Mach 5.7, Mach 6, Mach 429, and LES models all use a 1.5 zero stack headset and feature an upper OD of 44mm and lower OD of 56mm. This design keeps the front-end height low and enables maximum flexibility in bike fit for a wide range of riders. In addition to the reduced front end height, the large-diameter tapered head tube design is lighter and stronger. The cups press in and remove just like a traditional headset. The 1.5 zero stack design is available from Cane Creek, Ritchey, FSA, Acros, Chris King, and, of course, our own Pivot Phoenix precision sealed cartridge model to match the quality and aesthetics of your Pivot frame.
Pivot was the first frame manufacturer to feature the 92mm wide bottom bracket shell standard. We developed the PF92 BB system for mountain bikes in conjunction with Shimano and launched the new design on the first Pivot frames in 2007. Press fit 92 has since become the leading standard for high-end mountain bikes. The PF92BB system offers better bearing alignment and better support of the bearings. With the PF92 system, there are no external washers or threads in the shell. The bearings are housed in light composite resin (or aluminum) cups with a fully-sealed sleeve to keep out the elements. This design allows for easy crank installation, with no frame facing or special spacers required. Chain line is optimized and as an added advantage, the bearings are extremely easy to replace. We can design a lighter, better integrated and more durable frame bike with the PF92 design. In carbon, it has the added benefit of eliminating a separate aluminum shell bonded into the carbon frame. Another benefit is that the XTR version includes a 3-year warranty from Shimano. The PF92 system works with Shimano, SRAM, FSA, E-Thirteen and Race Face cranks as well as many others. Enduro, Chris King and several other aftermarket companies offer both replacement bottom brackets and bearings to support every major crank brand.
Pivot is the first company to mount a derailleur directly to the front triangle of the frame, thus eliminating issue with derailleur mounting location, angle and chain-line issues. A direct-mount front derailleur frame design also provides a more rigid and secure mounting surface for the front derailleur, resulting in quick, precise shifting. Depending on the design, Pivot frames feature either an e-type or high direct-mount system.
Bigger bearings make for a smoother-running frame and better bearing longevity. Pivot uses only the highest quality EnduroMax bearings. The size of the bearings on Pivot frames, combined with overall linkage design, results in superior frame stiffness, long term durability and simple, easy replacement when it does come time to replace your pivots.

HIV/AIDS Prevention Among Adolescents in South Africa
Length: 1169 words (3.3 double-spaced pages)
Policy Brief: HIV/AIDS Prevention Among Adolescents in South Africa
Heterosexual intercourse among adolescents is the primary method of HIV transmission in South Africa, with the majority of new infections occurring in the 21 – 25 year age group. An HIV-prevention campaign promoting abstinence among young people would seem to be an effective barrier to further infections. However, a policy promoting abstinence approaches the problem only superficially, and would not take into account all of the factors driving adolescents to engage in sexual relations, specifically unprotected sex, in the first place. Abstinence is not a viable method of HIV/AIDS prevention within the social, political, and economic context of South Africa.
A more appropriate strategy would be a comprehensive program aimed at the de-stigmatization and prevention of the disease. A campaign promoting the use of condoms in all sexual encounters, backed by education and the expansion of HIV care and prevention services, and accompanied by policies addressing destructive economic conditions and gender inequality would be the most effective strategy. Countries such as Uganda and Senegal have had success when taking a direct approach to HIV prevention, we should follow their example and confront the epidemic on the terms on which it is striking our populace – through the unfettered, unprotected, and unhealthy sexual practices of our youth.
Education is of primary importance in the war against HIV/AIDS. It is the most efficient preventative weapon in our arsenal. Most young adults are at risk because they lack the most basic information on HIV and how to protect themselves from infection. There is confusion about methods of transmission, cultural myths about the disease's curability, and, perhaps most damaging, skewed perceptions of self-risk. In addition, there are high levels of denial of HIV's prevalence in communities that have yet to experience AIDS-related deaths. This results in adolescents convincing themselves that they can filter out dangerous partners through appearance or reputation. AIDS is externalized as a disease striking only at the margins of society, and is not seen as sufficient enough of a threat to change one's risky sexual behavior.
HIV/AIDS education should be a community-wide occurrence. Scare tactics should be used to depict HIV in a realistic manner - as a disease incorporated into every community that can and will infect you if you do not take the correct precautions. Limiting education to the schools keeps HIV/AIDS as a medicinal, sterile topic, and disassociates parents who are unwilling or unable to talk to their children about issues of a sexual nature.

Bringing HIV/AIDS out into the open with posters and television and radio spots, possibly with the endorsement of sports figures or community leaders would make HIV and sex in general more acceptable, comfortable subjects.
In order for individuals to change their behavior they need not only basic knowledge of HIV and their own personal risk of infection, they must perceive their environment as being supportive of safe behaviors. The more that adolescent sex and HIV, and the prevention of HIV through the use of condoms are aired on the public wavelength, the less stigmatized they will become. There is an association of condoms with people already infected with STDs or HIV, with women who "sleep around", with untrustworthiness and a lack of pleasure. Education about condoms needs to be tied directly to prevalence rates of HIV/AIDS, which are at 43.1% among 21-25 year olds in some areas. Peer pressure can be manipulated by using well-liked, respected peers to convince others of the intelligence and normalcy of HIV-preventing behavior. Counseling of individuals and couples together is important in initiating the use of condoms, which is why community-wide education is imperative.
For women especially, abstinence is not a socially or financially acceptable option, but neither do women have much control over alternative ways to protect themselves from infection. Girls' involvement in premarital sex is often an attempt to provide for basic needs, school fees, and luxuries or to find a husband. "Sugar daddies" represent a definitive threat, as the power imbalance between a school girl and a wealthy, older, sexually experienced (and thus with a higher probability of being infected with HIV) man, who presents an opportunity improve one's socioeconomic status, is especially dangerous. Masculine sexuality is associated with multiple partners and power over women, and attempting to control sexual behavior by women would endanger their relationship, chances of marriage, and even their physical and mental well being. Unprotected sex is also often a result of cultural and social norms that stress the importance of fertility. When a child does not lead to marriage it can reduce a woman's chance to marry another man and increases the likelihood of lifetime of relatively short sexual relationships.
Programs that explicitly seek the active participation of teenagers have a limited effect unless there is, in the wider society, change directed at the empowerment of women and the breaking down of gender stereotyping in sexual behavior. Because there are no other economic avenues open to young women, they are forced into financially-motivated sexual relationships. Efforts should be made to correct this imbalance. Government programs aimed at the employment of women, especially young women, should be initiated and accompanied by press fighting against stereotypes of gender power. Increasing women's social and economic opportunities would raise the opportunity cost of having a child, and lead to a decline in the importance of "proving" one's fertility. Men control the use of condoms, and a high regard for the preservation of reputation renders women powerless to demand condom use. In addition to schooling boys and men in sexual responsibility, health clinics should be stocked with women-controlled methods of prevention, such as microbicides.
Health infrastructures should be expanded to provide the necessary materials and support for public policies and campaigns. Men and women alike need to be informed about and tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which affect women disproportionately and can increase the probability of HIV-transmission by 10-fold. Poverty prevents young people from purchasing condoms, thus they should be dispensed without admonition and with instruction on their proper use and preventative capacity in a variety of accessible locations. The increased availability of treatment and services will help to destigmatize the disease and encourage people to seek help.
Structural deficiencies such as economic insecurity, displacement caused by conflicts and disasters, illiteracy, violence, abuse, and social exclusion deprive people of the ability to protect themselves. Migrant labor and endemic poverty enforce social norms justifying extramarital sexual relations as necessary. Young people enter multiple relationships to achieve specific goals, often of an economic nature. Economic, political, and social policies promoting stability, literacy, and support systems, will ultimately play a major role in controlling HIV/AIDS transmission. However, sex and risky sexual practices are a product of society as it stands now, and thus a social and economic necessity for adolescents. Social changes leading to a reduction in partners and abstinence will take a long time to take effect, and more immediate reduction in HIV-infection rates can be achieved through the promotion of condom use, accompanied by policies fomenting social change.

The shootout was essentially the culmination of a feud between the Earps who represented "law and order" in this lawless boomtown, such as it was, and the gang known as the Cowboys, a loose association of cattle rustlers, gunslingers, and other hard men. The Clantons, McLaurys, and Billy Claibourne were part of this faction. Given the nature of the town and the harshness of the Earps, there was considerable sympathy for the Cowboys.
The actual shootout took place on the afternoon of October 26, 1881, at the rear of the O.K. Corral (left) on Fremont Street. Doc Holliday and the Earps (Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan) rounded 4th Street (near tree in photo), and approached the Clantons and McLaurys who were standing at the corral. Town Sheriff, John Behan, tried to intercede but was shoved aside by Virgil.
The Earps were supported by Mayor John Clum and Judge Wells Spicer. After Spicer ruled the deaths as justifiable homicide, the Cowboy Gang went on a campaign of terror. Mayor Clum's stage was ambushed at night but he survived. Virgil Earp was also ambushed, on December 28, 1881, and permanently crippled. On March 18, 1882, Morgan was shot dead while playing pool.
At this point, Wyatt earned his reputation as a gunslinger during his "vendetta". He and his associates hunted down and killed several members of the Cowboys implicated in the attacks on his brothers. The most startling story, supported by alleged witnesses, involved "Indian Charlie". When he was found and confessed his guilt in Morgan's murder, Wyatt allowed "Indian Charlie" first draw, before filling him with lead. When charges were filed against Doc and Wyatt for the killing of Frank Stilwell, both left Tombstone for good.
The photo, (right), comes from the National Archives of the United States. Taken around 1890, the picture posed past and present "Peace Commissioners" of Dodge City (Kansas). Left to right: Charles Bassett, W.H. Harris, Wyatt Earp, Luke Short, L. McLean, Bat Masterson, and Neal Brown. Masterson was a close friend of Wyatt and spent much time in Tombstone before returning to Kansas in 1882. Luke Short, another friend, and part-time lawman and part-time gambler, spent time in Tombstone and left a victim in Boothill.
Most of the hard men of Tombstone did not live long or prosper. Billy Claibourne was gunned down in 1882. Ike Clanton was shot to death in 1887, resisting arrest. Johnny Ringo, the gunslinger who was Wyatt's chief protagonist, was found dead in 1882 with a bullet in his head. The death was ruled a suicide but many people think the bullet came from Wyatt's gun. Doc Holliday finally succumbed to his tuberculosis in 1887 at age 35. Virgil Earp, crippled by the ambush, died in 1905.
Wyatt Earp eventually moved to Los Angeles and lived a conventional life as a businessman. He outlived all his contemporaries, dying on January 13, 1929, at the age of eighty. He was therefore able to tell his version of events in Tombstone without being contradicted. Thus, the legend was born.

Payoneer Exiting Domain Escrow Business
Payoneer Escrow sent out an email to some of its partners today to inform them that the company is exiting the domain escrow business, and I was forwarded the email. Payoneer Head of Strategy and Business Development Matt Watts sent an email stating, "it's with sincere apologies that I'm sharing news that Payoneer is discontinuing our escrow business." The email continued, "While we have been excited and honored to service customers and partners like yourself, after careful review of our product portfolio have decided to commit our focus to other areas of the Payoneer business."
In 2016, Payoneer acquired a California-licensed Internet escrow agent doing business as Armor Payments, and the company began offering domain name escrow services. Brandon Abbey, formerly of Escrow.com, was hired by the company to help get its start in the domain escrow business. The global payments company has been offering domain name escrow services for approximately two years.
I believe the company will continue to see out any deals in escrow, but I don't believe they will be taking on additional transactions. I am not sure what will happen to any holding deals where domain names are in escrow with payment plans. I presume the company will contact clients who are impacted (if there are any). Update: I was told the company will honor its obligations related to transactions in progress.
I don't really have much additional information to share at this point. I have a call scheduled with Matt for tomorrow morning and will try to fill in additional details that I learn. Hopefully, Payoneer will send an email to all customers who have signed up for accounts on Payoneer Escrow to let them know about this news so they can plan their business accordingly.

Zwift Academy for Canyon//SRAM
Video: Earning a Canyon//SRAM contract through Zwift
Three finalists were selected from a pool of thousands of women riding on Zwift, and VeloNews went to the Canyon//SRAM team camp in Spain to capture the competition for a single 2020 pro contract.
For the third year, Zwift has offered everyday riders a pathway straight to the pro ranks with the Zwift Academy program. This year, three female finalists went to a Canyon//SRAM team camp in Spain to compete for a single spot, while three Under-23 men went to the NTT Pro Cycling (formerly Dimension Data) team camp to do the same. VeloNews joined the Canyon//SRAM camp to document the competition, and reveal the winner.
"What we are trying to find is of course strength, but also a good personality as well," said Ronny Lauke, Canyon//SRAM team manager. "We can see the power output [from Zwift]. What we cannot see is the bike handling abilities, and the personality overall. And that's why we have the finals."
Thousands of women entered the Zwift Academy program by completing workouts on Zwift, where their power output was recorded over various durations. The Zwift Academy coaches examined these riders for power-to-weight output for 10-second, 1-minute, 4-minute and 10-minute durations.
"From those power durations we know what a good athlete at this level is able to achieve," said Kevin Poulton, Zwift Academy coach. "So for example, for a 60-minute threshold effort, a very high world class level is 5 watts per kilo. and what we've seen in this year's Academy is participants record levels of 4.6 and 4.8."
"For 10 seconds, for women, if they are achieving above 13 to 15 w/kg, that is a very high, elite level," he said.
The three finalists are Samara Sheppard, Jess Pratt, and Catherine Colyn.
Sheppard hails from New Zealand, and wants to represent her country at the 2022 UCI world road championships. Pratt joined the Zwift Academy search after she met two previous Zwift Academy winners and got inspired. South African Colyn qualified for the top 10 in last year's Zwift Academy.
"What we are looking for, when having these finals days, is who can become the most complete athlete in the future," Lauke said. "Numbers is one variable in this whole picture, but it is not the complete answer."
"I strongly believe that the overall performance of success of a team depends on the personalities, not simply on power output produced by the legs," he said. "It's more, what brains do we have, and how do those brains connect with the legs. This gives at the end the answer, and makes the team where it stands at the end of a bike race."
