DARLINGTON, U.K.—The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) entered 2018 with news of a collaboration between itself, GlycoSeLect UK Ltd., ForteBio Pall Life Science and Allergan Biologics Ltd. This initiative will focus on filling the need for new glycoanalytical approaches to address demands in the biotherapeutics market. Roughly two-thirds of biotherapeutics are glycosylated proteins, but developing and manufacturing such compounds comes with high expenses and risk of failure. This new consortium will combine GlycoSeLect's glycosylation recognition technology with ForteBio's biosensor-based analytical platform technology to develop a new glycosylation platform that will enable better characterization and monitoring of biotherapeutics products.
"Developing a simple, rapid and high-throughput glycoanalytical method moves us further along the path to streamline development and manufacture of biotherapeutic proteins, contributing to lower costs and faster development," said Dr. John Liddell, CPI's senior scientific advisor.

Natasha Draycott has the first application granted for permission to appeal out of time.
First application granted for permission to appeal out of time.
On 28th October 2015, Mr Justice Ouseley granted the first application for permission to appeal out of time. Dragos Iacob was unrepresented at the lower court and was given the wrong appeal form following his extradition hearing. The form was sealed by the court office but the police subsequently sought to remove him. Natasha Draycott, instructed by Mr. Chirag Patel (Head of Extradition at Macmillan Williams Solicitors), argued that they had acted expeditiously in serving the correct appeal form and that Mr Iacob did everything reasonably possible to ensure that the notice was served.
Mr Justice Ouesley emphasised the importance of complying with the guidelines in Szegfu but found that both parties had done everything that they reasonably could.

You really won't believe some of these actual complaints from package holidaymakers!
Wait for #13, it's hilarious!
17. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king size bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.
Share the laughs with your friends.


Oh, for heaven's sake, accept the offer, or counter it with 3% closing costs and all the rest the same. If they need 90 days closing, it's well worth the wait. If the couple is approved for their loan, wants the house, and it looks like it's going to go through, then save yourself headaches - and, yes, expense! - and accept their offer. JMO but based on experience.
Bottom line is they offered $6K under you listing price.
What is your time table? Have you already purchased another home and are carrying two mortgages?
Thanks for the perspective. You are most likely right.
We continue to book showings and have another offer and have begun negotiating a third. The 2nd is likely to hit the mark.
Real estate is an interesting subject and experience. It's also pretty exciting. This could actually be fun if I wasn't buying or selling. I see why this appeals to people as a career.
Thanks to everyone for their perspectives.
Totally agree. I used to be an appraiser and I would love to find a way to go back to the real estate industry but I don't really want to be an agent OR and appraiser. I just want to sit with agents and talk deals. Do you think they would pay me for that?
As for 1k for repairs in the initial offer, lol, get out. I suppose then they would ask for some more repairs after the inspection in addition to the 1k. No.
Happy to state a better deal was reached. Both seller and buyer are happy. Woot!
I gotta find a way to do this. Anybody looking for an intern?
Those were my thoughts. I hope they find a home that makes them happy.
No. It was a low-ball offer. So low it was insulting. We told the realtor we would not make a counter offer and we were not interested in further discussions with the offeror. If we could not get what we wanted for our house, we did nto want to sell it at all.
By July, we decided we would pull the house off the market if we did not have an acceptable offer by August 1. We did not want to start our kids in school and then move and the prime selling time (spring) was pretty much over. We were no 100% certain about moving anyway, but we could always try again next year.
The realtors called the lowball guys realtor and told him we were pulling the house off the market, so if he was actually interested he had better make a realistic offer now. He did and we negotiated an acceptable price. Worked out well for us because by the next spring real estate prices had leveled or dropped a little and over the following two years plummeted dramatically.
You made a capital error by considering a business transaction to be insulting, which is a personal thing. I note that you were also inconsistent in your business strategy of telling your agent you were not interested in further discussions with the offeror; that is called "cutting off one's nose to spite their face." Apparently your agent either ignored your instructions or convinced you that your approach was faulty and, in doing so, got your bacon out of the fire and your house sold.
What error? Did you not read Coldjensen's post carefully?
S/he said, "The realtors called the lowball guys realtor and told him we were pulling the house off the market, so if he was actually interested he had better make a realistic offer now. He did and we negotiated an acceptable price. Worked out well for us because by the next spring real estate prices had leveled or dropped a little and over the following two years plummeted dramatically."
It doesn't sound like an error was made, because it "worked out well for us."
The error, as I wrote, was in taking insult (a personal sentiment) from a business transaction. Did you not read what I wrote? If Jensen's instructions were followed as indicated above, there would have been no outreach and no deal. It sounds like the cooler head of the agent prevailed, rescuing a deal the perceived snub would have scuttled.

As in code above I am trying to display USOCCode for fieldSet 'Recurring Charge Footnote Key' and 'Non - Recurring Charge Footnote Key'. But the value gets displayed only in the first reference and not the second one. I read on the API that the name has to be unique, but if I have to display it twice is there a workaround for the same??
Thanks in advance

A: Well I guess you will need a custom field to delegate the setting like
Ext.define('Ext.ux.form.field.Delegate',{
    extend: 'Ext.form.field.Hidden',
    alias: 'widget.delegatefield'

    width: 0,
    height: 0,
    setValue: function(val) {
        va me = this;
        me.setBoundFields(val);
        me.callParent();
    }
});

Which has a callback method as param that is called when the field get set. Below I've integrated it in your code
items: [
    {
        columnWidth: 0.4,
        margin: '3 0 0 10',
        xtype: 'container',

                setBoundFields: function(val) {
                    var fields = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('[ident=USOCCode]'),
                        len = fields.length,
                        i = 0;

Francesca Rizzo is awarded the Kippenhahn Prize
By Peter Laursen / In News from DAWN / October 28, 2021
Congratulations to Francesca Rizzo, who has just been awarded the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics's "Kippenhahn Prize" for her paper which was published last year in Nature.
Francesca Rizzo with Volker Springel, the managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (credit: H.-A. Arnolds/MPA).
Each year, the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPI) awards a prize for "the best student paper that has been published in an established journal", the so-called Kippenhahn Prize. Francesca Rizzo, who is currently at DAWN but finished her PhD last year at MPI, received the Prize this year for her Naure paper "A dynamically cold disk galaxy in the early Universe".
In her paper, Francesca Rizzo challenges current models of galaxy evolution, which predict that interstellar in gas early galaxies should be much more chaotic and turbulent than today.
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, she observed the light emitted from ionized carbon in a galaxy, seen when the Universe was just 10% of its current age. The galaxy was gravitationally lensed by a foreground galaxy, allowing for unprecedented high resolution.
Interestingly, despite the galaxy forming stars at a high rate, it shows a remarkably ordered rotation, with very little turbulence. This highlights the need for revising our current models and understanding of the formation of galactic disks.

Q: Convert hybrid NSData to NSString My requirement is to convert an NSData stream that is written in 2 formats: hex bytes and normal string data (not sure what is correct name for it but if you have a look you can know).
I am trying to find a way to fetch important stuff from it.
Here is a sample:
bbbbbb02bbbbbb
bbbbbb

From the above part, I can fetch 02 using approach shown here. (bbbbbb is simply a delimiter)
However I am not sure about the following part - and I don't know what should I do to convert it into something sensible. Best I know it is an ascii character bytes formatted as xml. (note bbbbbb delimiter at the end)
3c3f786d....long pattern of hex....bbbbbb

I have already gone through this but the utf-8-encoded nsdata to nsstring conversion seems to require entire nsdata while I have bytes due to fragments of data that I need.
Can anyone put a sensible and cumulative approach to convert the entire pattern into required format ie bbbbbb02bbbbbb into 02, 3c3f786d.... into ascii xml and so on?

Q: robot climbing ladder with different probability to climb up at each bar there is a ladder with 4 bars, a ground bar marked as bar 0. no bars beneath bar 0. no bar above bar 4. A robot starts climbing it up from bar 0. He will climb up or down the bars depending on the probability, at each bar, there is different probability to climb up as follows:
to climb up successfully:
from bar 0 to bar 1 : 1/3
bar 1 to bar 2: 1/4
bar 2 to bar 3: 1/5
bar 3 to bar 4: 1/6
if he fails, he will only drop down 1 bar. ex: from bar 3 to bar 2.
Question:
what is the chance for robot climbing up to the 4th bar within N times?

Home All News General St. Lucia media association concerned about composition of COP23 delegation
St. Lucia media association concerned about composition of COP23 delegation
(PRESS RELEASE) – The Media Association of Saint Lucia is concerned that the Government of Saint Lucia has this year declined to extend its customary invitation to the media fraternity to join the Saint Lucia Delegation at the 2017 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP23) in Bonn, Germany.
In years past, journalists specially trained in climate change reporting such as Stan Bishop of the Voice St. Lucia, and Alison Kentish of HTS News4orce have accompanied the delegation, providing a critical look at Saint Lucia's activities during this important multilateral conference.
This year, the only coverage of the important policy meetings and lobbying efforts undertaken on our behalf will be provided by content producers employed in the Office of the Prime Minister.
MASL also notes with concern that this year's delegation seems to lack Information & Communications officers (from the Sustainable Development and Energy units, for example) that would normally provide readouts, reports and other feedback from the technical meetings at COP.
Because climate change is an issue of immediate and serious public concern, the seriousness of excluding these key individuals from this year's delegation cannot be understated. The Saint Lucian public deserves to have access to reliable, accurate information about the efforts our delegation is undertaking on the behalf of the nation and the region.
By forcing the nation to rely on the narrative crafted by the official government communication machinery, this administration is curtailing the rights of all Saint Lucians to be informed on matters of national importance by a free press.
We refer to remarks made on Thursday, 18th October by a senior member of the Government Information Service asking that the media be more committed to educating the public on environmental matters: "Climate change is an issue of absolute importance to the region. Needless to say that Saint Lucia has been spared the brunt of three disastrous hurricanes so far. As media practitioners, we are a very important means of communicating environmental concerns to the general public. We should be concerned with the environment a lot more. [There should be] more public announcements and even discussion programs on NTN, GIS and in the private media."
Needless to say, the remarks were made at a meeting convened with media stakeholders to discuss ways in which the private media and the GIS could effectively highlight the event, and give more prominence to issues relating to climate change and global warming.
With these statements in mind, the Media Association of Saint Lucia remains perplexed as to why an invitation was not extended to any member of the private media to form part of Saint Lucia's delegation to Bonn.
In light of the developments, MASL will be left with no choice but to explore our options as it relates to coverage of state-backed climate change and sustainable development initiatives.
The Media Association of Saint Lucia looks forward to a continued and improved dialogue with the Government of Saint Lucia on how to ensure that the ability of its members to operate a free, independent fourth estate is not compromised or further eroded.

So the media houses can't fund their own trips? Why must it be the government to do this. If they were not so tightly involved with politics they wouldn't have these problems. The big problems we have in St.lucia now they cant even report on.
nudge November 10, 2017 At 2:55 PM
MASL,
The reason you guys have not been invited on this junket is because you are now surplus to requirements - stenographers are a dime a dozen! The government has hired Campeche as their Director of Stenography Services - his double speak engenders a more professional level of cognitive dissonance in the St. Lucian masses.
Sorry, you're the "weakest" link!
Wam there November 10, 2017 At 12:50 PM
So why hasn't the media taken action for being left out of the loop when it concerns more important issues? Is it because of a trip? I find that strange. Are they on the Reparations Committee? Most of these international sessions are live streamed on the internet so why have to pay for a trip? I don't know why the media would see such a superficial issue as being so important to them. The media must acknowledge that the practices of one government does not necessarily become the practice of a successor government. The fact that one government acts in a particular manner doesn't mean that it is a right which is to demanded from another government. That's so shallow and it therefore asks questions of the Media Association.
so yall wanted the government to pay for yall to go Germany!!! Miguel move from dere!!!!

Really, she was fired for speaking out about the working conditions. That place is hell, I have friends working their. I worked there for awhile, but had to run. The boss and the Financial Controller want to sleep with all the women.
The Media Association should be concern about it members that been stifle and getting fired at the various media houses. Earlier this week The voice fired female journalist Rochelle Gonzales for a letter she wrote indicating about the working conditions, one week earlier she was defined and opportunity to attend a meeting in Greanda all expensive paid by the organizers the Voice did not have to pay a cent. These are the things MASLneed to talk about. The workers at the Voice does not have a Voice.
Our constitution needs a recall referendum now that we are truly experiencing the the dangers of having SERIOUSLY, SHAMELESS and GREEDY F**CKERS at the helm of the country. and when elections are just around the corner they automatically become caring...
LUSHANS WAKE UP. YOUR VOTE IS WORTH MORE THAN A PIECE OF CHICKEN, RUM AND $100.00
DI FREE CHICKEN DONE, DI FREE RUM DONE, DI $100.00 DONE, BUT YOU STILL HAVE GREEDY ALLEN!!!
FOR ONCE THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE. LEARN TO REASON CRITICALLY. BE INTELLIGENT DON'T JUST SOUND INTELLIGENT!
The Dishonourable Vorass Ministah of Everything enh want di people to see how he embarrassing dem. So Nicole Mcdonald go doctah di news to make di Dishonourable Vorass appear intelligent for once.
Oh please Boo hoo hoo dam cry babies GET OVER IT ! We John Public would rather our tax dollars be spent on other pressing issues that is affecting our quality of lives than to fund your oversees round robin trip on climate change. Really ?? The monies that would be spent to fly yu'll backsides to Germany and back feed and house you could have fund 12 police officers with overtime to fight the crime. You all want to go to Germany to sit in a hotel at tax payers expense to pass The Grey Poupon not with my tax dollars GO FIND SOMTHING ELSE TO DO. What ever we need to know about climate control and the effects it's has on us we can go online and find out ourselves fine thank you. Choops.
Prey do tell on what is it being spent. Only person i see spending di country money for himself is Chastanet and Dont see what he's bringing in.
Other people want to benefit from it too.

The Human Dignity Coalition (HDC) has been promoting and protecting the rights of Central Oregon's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community since 1992. Though Oregon has achieved many victories—from non- discrimination ordinances and marriage equality to anti-bullying legislation and healthcare coverage—many LGBTQ people still face discrimination in the workplace, schools, and hospitals. HDC offers workshops and trainings, provides support for LGBTQ youth and transgender adults, organizes the annual Pride Festival and other events, and works with allied social justice organizations to make Bend and Central Oregon a more just and equal place for all.
Human Dignity Coalition is 100 percent volunteer-run. Your donations support our small office in Bend's Social Justice Center; help us put on events to bring the community together; enable us to offer cultural awareness trainings to educators, employers and other service providers; and ensure that Central Oregon's LGBTQ community continues to thrive.

Russia's Descent Toward Authoritarianism: An Examination of the Khodorkovsky Case
By	Dr Andrew Foxall
On the 10th anniversary of the arrest of Russian businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the Russia Studies Centre has issued a new analysis that concludes Putin's Russia is now more corrupt and significantly less free than it was 10 years ago.
Khodorkovsky, a hugely successful businessman who was lauded internationally for transforming his company Yukos into a well-governed and transparent operation, was a vocal critic of President Putin and a long-standing supporter of liberal political parties.
He was arrested on October 25th, 2003, taken into custody and immediately charged with fraud. The two trials that followed have both been characterized by political interference and legal violations, and Khodorkovsky is currently not due to be freed until August 2014, having had his sentence significantly extended.
The new report, Russia's Descent Toward Authoritarianism: An Examination of the Khodorkovsky Case, by Director of the Russia Studies Centre (RSC) Dr Andrew Foxall, looks at trends in human rights, the rule of law, the treatment of dissidents, and corruption in Russia over the past decade. It finds:
Putin's consolidation of political power has been accompanied by an increasingly authoritarian political system. While in 2003 Freedom House described Russia as "Partly Free", by 2013 its description was "Not Free";
Putin has overseen a crackdown on media freedoms and increased state control over the economy;
In the aftermath of high-profile anti-government protests in the winter of 2011 / 2012, Putin cracked down on civil society, introduced a series of repressive laws restricting freedom of expression, and targeted political opposition;
In the summer of 2013, a series of draconian laws designed to suppress any form of dissent, one of which criminalised blasphemy and another that banned "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations", were approved;
The Russian Government has overlooked widespread torture and ill-treatment of criminal suspects by police, violent initiation ceremonies for new recruits in the armed forces, and inhuman treatment of orphans and those in psychiatric care;
Despite declaring the "dictatorship of law" in 2000, Putin has used Russia's legal system to achieve political aims and garner public support, primarily under the banner of combating crime and corruption.
Director of the RSC and author of the report Dr Andrew Foxall said: "If in 2003 the international community was willing to believe in Putin's democratic and liberal potential, in 2013 it is clear that Putin is neither a democrat nor a liberal.
"Khodorkovsky's fate has become a symbol of Russia's downward spiral towards authoritarianism over the past decade, which has seen Putin's Government crack down on civil liberties, human rights and the freedom to oppose prevailing powers.
"His imprisonment marked a watershed in modern Russia. Until his arrest, the international community had been willing to believe in President Vladimir Putin's seemingly democratic and market-oriented intentions. It's clear that misapprehension is no longer credible."

Q: PowerShell cmdlet shows property, but it can't display it through 'select' I am trying to execute the following statement.
dir IIS:\Sites| foreach{ get-webapplication -site $_.Name} | select -first 1

This results in

So no 'Name' property. How is it that the get-webpplication can show the name property, but we cant select it?

A: The WebAdministration module defines default format for the concerned type. In this case, the WebApplication that you get is of type Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElement#site#application
If you look at the file iisprovider.format.ps1xml under the module ( usually located at C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\WebAdministration), you will see that the format specified for the Name of this type is as below:
...
<TableColumnItem>
   <ScriptBlock>
        $name = $_.Path.Trim('/')
        $name
   </ScriptBlock>
</TableColumnItem>
...

Thus the name is actually got from $_.Path.Trim('/'), so you can do the same if you want:
get-webapplication -site "test" | select @{e={$_.Path.Trim('/')};l="Name"}

A: This works for me:
get-webapplication | forEach { write-host $_.Attributes[0].Value }

AfDB Secures $61.8m To Fund Women-Owned SMEs In Africa
The African Development Bank (AfDB) has secured $61.8 million to foster the development of female entrepreneurs in Africa.
The funding is in line with AfDB's Affirmative Finance for Women in Africa (AFAWA) program. The funds will be provided by the governing committee of the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi).
This move by We-Fi will go a long way in proffering financial support to more than 35,000 women-owned Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in 21 African countries including Nigeria.
According to the European Investment bank, access to finance remains a genuine challenge to micro and small and medium-sized enterprises in the African region.
AfDB also reports that the financing gap for women in sub-Saharan Africa is estimated to be $20 billion.
However this initiative by AfDB will not only provide financial benefits to women and their individual business. Even more, it will spur their (women's) contribution to the social and economic development of the society.
By contributing to bridging the finance gap and economic empowerment of women, AFAWA joins a list of other organizations such as the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) that have supported African women entrepreneurs with a $500 million fund.
Another initiative launched in recent memory is the Women's Global Development and prosperity (W-GDP).
President Trump launched this initiative in February. The platform looks to reach 50 million women globally.

Rob Vanstone: Saskatchewan Roughriders boss Chris Jones should take a bow
A defensive tour de force, choreographed by Chris Jones, help the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat the Calgary Stampeders 40-27 on Sunday.
Rob Vanstone, Regina Leader-Post
In defence of Chris Jones, there is the defence of Chris Jones.
And it was often suffocating on Sunday, as the Jones-coached Saskatchewan Roughriders upended the previously unbeaten Calgary Stampeders 40-27 at Mosaic Stadium.
It was a tactical tour de force by Jones — the Roughriders' head coach, defensive co-ordinator, general manager and vice-president of football operations.
Yes, Calgary's Bo Levi Mitchell was able to throw four touchdown passes, once again demonstrating his ability to go over the top.
But the pressure exerted on the Calgary passer was also over the top, for the most part.
He was sacked five times, hurried on numerous other occasions, and often frustrated by a hyperactive Saskatchewan defence that, on top of it all, put up some points to force Calgary to play catch-up for the duration.
Consider the first half, after which Saskatchewan led 24-6.
At that point, Mitchell had only five completions in 14 attempts for 73 yards. Subtract a 45-yard payoff pitch to DaVaris Daniels and the Calgary pivot was 4-for-13 for 28 yards at intermission.
Mitchell also threw a TD pass (albeit unintentionally) to Nick Marshall, who happens to play cornerback for the Roughriders. Marshall picked off Mitchell and raced 67 yards for the rookie DB's second pick-six of the season.
It was the third consecutive Roughriders-Stampeders game in which Mitchell had been victimized by an interception return for a touchdown (the other thefts coming from Duron Carter — remember him? — and Tobi Antigha).
Along the way, Marshall tied a Roughriders single-season record for interception-return touchdowns — two — while joining a fraternity that also includes Glen Suitor (1987), Bryce Bevill (1996), LaDouphyous McCalla (2000), Jackie Mitchell (2003) and Chris McKenzie (2011).

After Marshall's latest major, Saskatchewan extended its streak of non-offensive touchdowns against Calgary to four, thanks to Sam Eguavoen's 30-yard blocked-punt return.
When the offence eventually chipped in with a major, it was after a sack and forced fumble by ex-Stampeder Charleston Hughes. The turnover gave Saskatchewan possession on Calgary's 30-yard line.
The Roughriders' offence was not explosive, but it nonetheless took tremendous strides while making dents in the league's stingiest defence.
With Zach Collaros at quarterback, the Roughriders' offence is professionally run. There is a nice run-pass balance and, in the absence of the recently released Carter, Jordan Williams-Lambert has emerged as a go-to receiver.
Williams-Lambert, an inviting target at 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds, treated the fans to a 10-catch, 152-yard breakout game.
Those fans, 33,350 strong, also played a vital role. The crowd created enough noise to force Mitchell into two time-count violations in the fourth quarter. (Chaos-By-The-Clock?)

In the end, the Roughriders' faithful was also able to celebrate a much-needed victory over the CFL's front-runner, thereby changing the temperature in this football hotbed.
It was, after all, Saskatchewan's first win in precisely one month.
After defeating the host Hamilton Tiger-Cats 31-20 on July 19, the Roughriders had lost twice in a row to West Division opponents.
Then came an extended bye week, during which Carter was controversially canned.
Jones was under fire, in some forums, for steadfastly declining to explain why Carter had been released.
But then came Sunday, when Jones let his dominating defence do the talking.
It was, in every sense, a statement game.

Body's immune system may play larger role in Alzheimer's disease than thought
Mouse study finds dramatic increase in brain plaques when key cells are lacking
Microglia (green) surround an amyloid plaque (blue) in the brain of an Alzheimer's disease mouse model. UCI researchers have shown that endogenous mouse antibodies (red) associate with microglia in the brains of such mice and boost microglia's ability to degrade plaques. Image: Samuel Marsh
Immune cells that normally help us fight off bacterial and viral infections may play a far greater role in Alzheimer's disease than originally thought, according to University of California, Irvine neurobiologists with the Sue & Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center and the Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders.
The researchers discovered this when Alzheimer's disease mice genetically modified to lack these key immune cells in their blood developed the distinctive brain plaques associated with the neurodegenerative disorder much more quickly.
According to Mathew Blurton-Jones, assistant professor of neurobiology & behavior, and doctoral student Samuel Marsh, their findings could lead to the creation of new techniques to help identify, or perhaps even treat, individuals at risk of developing the disease.
Alzheimer's is the leading cause of age-related dementia and is thought to be driven by the accumulation of a protein called beta-amyloid that aggregates to form amyloid plaques in the brain. Microglia, immune cells that reside in the brain, attempt to clear this buildup, but in Alzheimer's, they appear to be fighting a losing battle. While many studies have explored the role of microglia in Alzheimer's, very few researchers have asked whether a different set of immune cells called T-cells and B-cells that reside outside the brain and play a large part in autoimmune diseases might also impact Alzheimer's.
To test this idea, Blurton-Jones and Marsh bred genetically modified Alzheimer's disease mice to lack three key immune cell types: T-cells, B-cells and NK-cells. Six months later, when the brains of these mice were compared to those of Alzheimer's mice with intact immune systems, the scientists found a more than twofold increase in beta-amyloid accumulation.
"We were very surprised by the magnitude of this effect," Blurton-Jones said. "We expected the influence of the deficient immune system on Alzheimer's pathology to be much more subtle."
To understand how the loss of these immune cells was increasing beta-amyloid, he and Marsh examined the interactions between these peripheral cells and microglia within the brain.
"We found that in Alzheimer's mice with intact immune systems, antibodies – which are made by B-cells – accumulated in the brain and associated with microglia. This, in turn, helped increase the clearance of beta-amyloid," Marsh said.
To further confirm the importance of this interplay between immune cells in the blood and those in the brain, the researchers transplanted healthy bone marrow stem cells into the immune-deficient Alzheimer's mice. Since T-, B- and NK-cells develop from bone marrow stem cells, this transplantation led to a reconstitution of the missing immune cells. This allowed the B-cells to produce antibodies that once again reached the brain and aided microglia in eradicating the beta-amyloid.
"We know that the immune system changes with age and becomes less capable of making T- and B-cells," Blurton-Jones said. "So whether aging of the immune system in humans might contribute to the development of Alzheimer's is the next big question we want to ask."
Study results appear in the early online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Other researchers who contributed to this work are Edsel Abud, Anita Lakatos, Alborz Karimzadeh, Stephen Yeung, Hayk Davtyan, Gianna Fote, Lydia Lau, Jason Weinger, Thomas Lane, Matthew Inlay and Wayne Poon. The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grant RF1AG048099) and the Alzheimer's Association.

I gave it my best shot. Like I said, I couldn't find directions but I should probably admit I didn't look very hard. One reason that I have probably not had success in the baking department is that following very specific rules is not something that comes easy to me and from what I understand baking is kind of an exact science. Since this was something I wanted to do for fun and relaxation I really didn't want any directions which is probably why I took on the challenge. My husband and oldest son follow rules rigidly so I had to giggle when my husband grabbed a piece of paper and started drawing out a diagram of how we should construct the cake. (I wish I had taken a picture of it!) I told him to drop the pencil this was my adventure!
Ooops, still a little bit of burned part….
Wooohooooooo! Success! It is close enough for me! I did learn however after that there is a gel food coloring that will give a much more vibrant color over the liquid food coloring I used. It also occurred to me after that I didn't need to bake 6 different layers, I could have baked 3 (red, white and blue) and just sliced them into the layers.
2 boxes of white cake mix, 6 thin pie pans, red food coloring, blue food coloring.
After baked I cut into cleaner layers and layered red cake, white cake, red cake and then cut a circle inside of the double layer blue and placed a smaller layer of red cake and white cake inside of it. After I cut all of the parts/layers I went though and layered white icing in each to make it all stick. Cover the rest with icing and Voila!

Who Was Galileo Galilei and Why Is the Italian Astronomer the Father of Modern Observational Astronomy?
April 6, 2020 by Karen Hill
Galileo Galilei seemed to be larger than life.
Born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564, at the culmination of the Renaissance, Galileo was not just the first person to focus a telescope on the stars; he also turned the view of the world upside down.
Galileo was a master of astronomy, mathematics, physics, philosophy, and publicity. His image, and probably the reality, was that of a temperamental genius: brilliant and witty, but also caustic and nasty.
Prominent people sought his company, until he took up the unpopular and dangerous task of defending Copernicus's sun-centered view of the solar system in his published works.
We accept as fact that the Sun is the center of the solar system. Imagine, however, knowing just as surely that Earth is the center. We might have said: "Everyone knows that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Only a few crazy scientists think otherwise."
In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus had published his treatise proposing that all the planets, including Earth, revolved around the Sun.
This breakthrough was welcomed by a few, but only in private, because the most powerful government in Europe at that time, the Roman Catholic Church, had a vested interest in the status quo. Its whole system of beliefs, and its authority, rested on Earth being central to the universe.
Galileo's public support of the Copernican worldview upset the church. Its leaders had dealt with other heretics by ignoring them or burning them at the stake. But the church could not ignore Galileo.
In 1634, Galileo was brought before the church courts and told to recant his heretical beliefs about the solar system.
Faced with the alternative, torture and death, Galileo finally gave in. According to legend, as he left the courtroom, Galileo claimed, under his breath, that regardless of what he was forced to say, Earth still moved around the Sun.
Galileo was under house arrest for the remainder of his life, until 1642.
The church officially accepted the Copernican model of the solar system 350 years later, in 1992.
