The proteins that humans ingest for their nutrition are not all used by the body in the same form. First of all, they are decomposed into smaller molecules called amino acids. Later on, these amino acids are brought together in new arrangements to make any one of the 200,000 different types of protein encoded in the DNA which may be needed at that particular time. The name given to this complex process, each step of which is a miracle in itself, is protein synthesis. Each step is broken down into tens of other steps. Without even realizing it, during your daily routine, these processes are repeated over and over again in the 100 trillion cells throughout your body.
The RNA polymerase enzyme copies the requisite information on the DNA, in a process known as transcription. It is sent to the ribosomes for production according to the information on the copied RNA section.
In order to understand this topic more fully, let's remember that the cell's organizational setup for protein production can be compared to a giant factory that can manufacture hundreds of different products all at the same time. Obviously, no factory on Earth can perfectly manufacture such a wide range of products. In order to understand the cell's perfect production methods, we can imagine a science-fiction model factory that possesses similar features and abilities.
Such a theoretical factory would work as follows: An external command arrives at the factory, and the decision is made to manufacture (for instance) a fighter plane. The plane's technical details are stored in the factory's computer, along with all its other measurements and specifications. The computer presents all these calculations and measurements into a plan that the production-and-assembly robots can understand, and sends these plans to them by special transport systems.
Carefully, the assembly system begins to manufacture the plane. Its every part is brought by an assembly robot responsible solely for that particular piece and then is assembled in the correct location. The smallest error will later result in the plane falling out of the sky; but the system makes no mistake. On the rare occasion a defective product is produced, it passes through sensitive quality-control checkpoints and is removed from the assembly line, whereupon the defective product is disassembled and its parts are used for new products. Nothing is wasted. At the same time, the factory is able to produce hundreds of other products such as dialysis machines, computers, and cars. Some of these products it uses for itself, and others it exports outside.
The cell's organization is actually much more perfect than this science-fiction analogy suggests. As mentioned before, the human body uses more than 200,000 different types of proteins, and all of these are synthesized in the cell. The plans for all of these proteins are also found in the cell. But the cell selects from its DNA only the information needed to make the proteins it will use for itself or it will export outside, and then makes only these proteins. The functional differences between the proteins it produces are at least as great as the differences between those of a plane and a television.
How Is the Synthesis of Proteins Realized?
Every three consecutive nucleotides (codon) in mRNA specifies a particular amino acid in protein synthesis.
Each amino acid is attached to the ribosome by the corresponding transfer RNA.
- Whenever the body needs a protein, a cell or a group of cells goes into action to implement a series of complex processes. This may be a type of protein that the cell may need to use in its own structure or that it will export for outside use. The cell itself decides which proteins it will use within its own structure, but when it comes to making proteins for outside use, special messenger proteins are sent to the cell.
- All information about the particular protein's structure is encoded in the nucleus within the DNA. All instructions relevant to the protein to be made are copied from the DNA with the aid of many enzymes and a strand of RNA molecule produced from this DNA. The protein will be produced according to the information in this RNA, which has been copied from the DNA. And so, this RNA is referred to as messenger RNA (mRNA; Figure 3.1 ).
- The mRNA, having received its instructions, heads towards the ribosomes-the cell's main production units. The ribosomes read the instructions, starting from the beginning of the RNA strand. Each code in the DNA is made up of three bases called a codon, and represents one amino acid in the protein chain.
- Using the order it has obtained from the RNA, the ribosome joins together the amino acids to form a chain.
- One by one, the amino acids are brought to a molecule called the transfer RNA, or tRNA. Every tRNA carries its own special amino acid. The tRNA carries the amino acid on one end and on the other, the code with the address where the tRNA will deposit its load (the anticodon; Figure 3.2).
- The tRNA that arrives at the ribosome aligns along the mRNA transcript at the described address. There it deposits the amino acid it is carrying and moves away from the ribosome. The ribosome moves one codon (three bases) along the mRNA transcript. Another tRNA molecule arrives at the new address and aligns along the mRNA, depositing its amino acid. Once all of the codons have been "read," the amino acids join together to form a protein molecule.
As you can imagine, the event crudely outlined in a few sentences above, in reality occurs as a result of processes that are miraculously complex, beyond the limits of what the mind can conceive. But they do leave us facing some important questions.
The first has to do with the beginnings of protein synthesis. How does a cell-which cannot be seen with the naked eye, formed from mindless molecules-make the decision to start producing something? The ability to decide, think, and evaluate is a feature of conscious living things. Obviously, unconscious molecules of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms don't possess the ability to make decisions. There must be another power inspiring the cell to make these decisions and then directing it accordingly.
Once a decision is made, the next step is for the messenger RNA to read the instructions encoded within the DNA. The enzyme responsible for producing RNA finds in the DNA only the instructions needed for the desired protein-but in reality, the process is extremely difficult. Finding the relevant information in the DNA means locating and extracting an instruction consisting of 900 base pairs from a store of 5 billion. This is like trying to find one particular sentence in a 20-volume encyclopedia, without any help. However this problem has been made easy in an awe-inspiring way: The relevant portion of the DNA has been marked by "start" and "stop" labels that the enzyme can find.
Who has placed these labels, understood only by enzymes, in the relevant places? Who gave these enzymes the ability to recognize these labels?
The undoubted answer to these questions is clear: the One Who made these faultless systems and the One Who placed every detail where it needs to be, and Who has allowed all of this to proceed in harmony is the Creator of all living things, God, the Possessor of infinite knowledge.
1. First, a tRNA molecule binds to a small ribosomal subunit.
2. The subunit binds to the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA transcript.
3. A large ribosomal subunit binds with the small one to form a production complex.
5. Protein synthesis begins with the bringing of the amino acid by the tRNA corresponding to the codon (AUG) that orders the start of protein synthesis.
6. The amino acid corresponding to the second codon is brought by its tRNA to the ribosome.
In the cytoplasm are found for protein synthesis pools of amino acids, tRNAs (transfer RNAs), and ribosomal subunits.
17. Protein production is complete.
18. A peptide bond is again formed between the second and third amino acids. The ribosome shifts along and reads the transcript, and a corresponding amino acid is brought to the ribosome until the protein is completed.
19. The ribosome moves one step along the mRNA transcript. The tRNA molecule brings to the ribosome the amino acid dictated by the next codon.
20. The bond between the first tRNA carrying the start codon and the amino acid is broken. A peptide bond is formed between the amino acids, aligned next to each other.
Do you not know that God is He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the Earth belongs and that, besides God, you have no protector and no helper?
Enzymes do not stop once they've found the relevant information. They facilitate its being copied at great speed, but some enzymes keep any problems from arising during the replication of DNA's highly complex structure. You'll recall that the DNA molecule is coiled, and shaped like a spiral ladder. During the replication stage, the rungs of the ladder need to open up so that their information can be read, and this is done by an enzyme. This unwinding process is so fast that friction might cause the DNA molecule to heat up and disintegrate. But this danger is overcome by precautions that have been taken beforehand. A special enzyme holds both sides of the helix apart, preventing any friction. Again with the help of special enzymes, the DNA molecule is prevented from getting tangled and messed up while being unwound during replication.
Remember, the enzymes that carry out such complicated and difficult tasks are just proteins themselves, also produced by the same method: protein synthesis inside the cell. In order for this production to be carried out, all of the required enzymes, the vitamins that help the enzymes, helper proteins and energy sources, the required genetic instructions and production organelles-are all needed at once, and in the same place. The lack of just one of these components will render the whole mechanism ineffective.
DNA shows mRNA the way by presenting it with only the relevant information. The regions depicted by the numbers I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII contain irrelevant information. That is why they coil out in loops and are prevented from being copied. Regions represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are relevant information presented to the mRNA. Unconscious atoms like carbon, hydrogen, and phosphate cannot possess intelligence. This intelligence belongs to God, Who wrote that genetic information there, Who allows it to be read and brings it to life.
During the copying of DNA by RNA in some cells, amazing events take place. The enzyme that produces RNA reads and copies the code in the DNA relevant to the protein it will produce, but it sometimes runs across codes that aren't needed for this production. Because during replication, the enzyme reads the DNA fragments in order, it has to read the irrelevant instructions as well. But remember, even one irrelevant instruction can render an entire synthesized protein completely worthless.
Let's examine in more detail the problem this enzyme encounters. Say a protein of 1,000 amino acids is to be produced. If each amino acid is represented by three bases (a codon), then in order to perform this duty, the enzyme needs to read a 3,000 base pair DNA sequence-in order. But within this 3,000-base pair sequence is a complete sequence of say 500 base pairs for which the enzyme has no need. But in order to reach the instructions that follow, the enzyme cannot just skip over these 500 base pairs without copying them. It must copy them whether it wants to or not. The enzyme cannot cut the giant DNA molecule, nor can it skip over it. What would you-a human being, possessed of intellect-do to solve this problem?
In recent years, scientists have observed the fascinating way in which this problem is solved. The DNA molecule, made up of simple materials like phosphate, sugar, and carbon, acts in a way which leaves one dumbfounded. The unwanted sequence, called an intron, is coiled into a loop outside of the main sequence (see Figure 3.4). In this way, the ends of the codons that need to be read one after the other, but which are separated by irrelevant information, are brought together. The regions containing the necessary information are called exons. The enzyme that reads the DNA sequence passes by without reading the instructions contained outside in the loop and continues reading on the other side. As you can imagine, many different chemical reactions occur at each stage of this event. But in the nucleus of the tiny cell, there is not the slightest confusion or chaos arising from these reactions.
A second method is used to prevent the problem of the introns. The RNA first copies the entire DNA molecule from start to finish, including the irrelevant sequences. Later on, as if obeying a command, it coils out the unnecessary sequences in loops, which are then broken off and removed (see Figure 3.5). But who tells the RNA that the sequences it has coiled up and broken off are irrelevant and unnecessary?
The enzyme that brings about these events must be very familiar with both the DNA and the RNA molecules. It must have received special training for such a specific job, know its responsibilities and work in a cooperative manner with the other enzymes to carry out its duty. On the other hand, the DNA, like a separate living entity, must have the ability to make decisions and, according to the situation, present certain instructions to the enzyme while keeping others from it and guiding the enzyme to what it needs to do. And of course both the enzymes and the DNA need to know the function of the protein they are manufacturing. First of all, they need to know what protein needs to be made, then must make the necessary plans and all the complex calculations to bring this about.
4. Unwanted codons (introns) are coiled outwards.
5. mRNA breaks off at one end and attaches at certain points to continue the reaction.
6. The removed portion of RNA is later broken apart, and the resulting nucleotides are used in new syntheses.
7. DNA ready for protein synthesis (introns have been removed).
Enzymes copy certain instructions relevant to the protein they are to make, but some irrelevant information gets transferred to the mRNA.
Once the RNA has been made, these instructions are removed from it and discarded, leaving only the relevant base pairs.
But it is clear that such abilities as knowing, calculating, wanting, and creating cannot exist in this heap of tiny molecules. These functions are attributes of God, the Master of Infinite Power. As He displays these attributes throughout the whole universe, so does He display them in the lifeless molecules in the nucleus of a tiny cell. A person of any intelligence would understand that this system has been created and, just like all of the other systems in the universe, the cell is also under God's absolute control.
As a result of the processes enumerated in the previous section, the instructions needed for the order for the particular protein are transferred by enzymes from the DNA to the messenger RNA (mRNA). Now it's the ribosomes' turn to manufacture the particular protein, according to orders given them by the DNA. The ribosome manufactures a substance to the exact specifications desired. The structural plan of the ordered protein is also found in the mRNA. The mRNA, together with the instructions it has copied from the DNA, moves out of the nucleus and towards one of the ribosomes found in the cytoplasm, to which it binds. An amino acid, corresponding to each codon in the mRNA, is brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA), and attached to the relevant site. To one end of the tRNA is attached the anticodon of one of the codons in the mRNA, and on the other end is the amino acid represented by the codon. As the tRNA binds to the codon in the mRNA that corresponds to its own anticodon, the amino acid it bears is automatically placed in the correct sequence.
There are 20 different tRNA molecules for the 20 different amino acids used. Each amino acid can bind only to its own tRNA. This is because in order for them to bind to each other, their three-dimensional shapes have to fit together exactly (see Figure 3.7). The fact that the tRNA and the amino acids, composed of thousands of atoms, have been made to fit together is a proof of the harmony and perfection in God's creation. God is the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form (al-Bari) (Qur'an, 59:24).
Thousands of amino acids join together to form the desired polypeptide chain (or protein molecule), according to the thousands of instructions found on the mRNA arriving at the ribosomes on which the protein is synthesized. Not even one extra amino acid is included in the mRNA plan to be attached to this molecule. No amino acid attaches to a different site than what the plan requires, and no amino acid is left out. If any of these mistakes occur, the desired protein will not be made, and a different, unwanted protein will be synthesized. But cells and organisms will not generally tolerate foreign proteins. They will make antibodies against them and demonstrate an allergic reaction.
Like other elements in the cell, ribosomes are formed from lifeless atoms. But this heap of protein succeeds in manufacturing thousands of different products by numerous complicated processes, with an intelligence that cannot be its own, but which is possible through the creation of God.
The synthesis of just one protein, according to instructions given in the DNA, requires at least 75 helper molecules in the cell working together in harmony. The enzymes carrying out the duty of copying the instructions in the DNA are not included in this number.
Transfer RNA. Every amino acid is carried by a transfer RNA molecule especially created for it. The amino acid and the transfer RNA bind tightly to each other at one end. Such perfect cooperation in an area a billionth of a millimeter, and that this cooperation exists in 20 different amino acids is clear proof of the Creator.

order and destructive anarchy-a state that comes about only in pathologic conditions or when the cell is dying.
Under normal, healthy circumstances, a protein molecule that is incomplete and imperfect is delivered to destructive enzymes that break many or all of its peptide bonds. They reduce the protein to its constituent amino acids or into short, harmless polypeptide chains and leave them available as structural building blocks for other protein syntheses.

How does evolutionary theory explain how proteins, the first stage of life, were first formed?
The answer is simple: it cannot. The evolutionists' claim is nothing more than that proteins came about by chance, as a result of a series of coincidences. Examining their claim's inconsistency, we can see how strikingly deceitful evolution really is.
How could the first protein molecule have come about by coincidence, under such uncontrolled conditions as-according to the claim of evolutionists-existed on our primitive Earth? How could the ordering of amino acids have come about "by chance" despite all the negative factors present on that primitive planet?
What's more, it's not enough for just this one protein to have formed itself. In this wildly uncontrolled environment, it had to wait for another protein molecule to form just like itself-by coincidence under the same conditions-without anything destroying it in the meantime. This had to occur again and again until at last, millions of appropriate and necessary proteins had come together "coincidentally" in the same place to form the cell. The very first proteins that formed had to wait patiently for thousands and millions of years for other proteins to form right next to them-without being destroyed in the meantime despite ultraviolet radiation and a harsh environment. Then these proteins, assumed to have formed by coincidence in enough numbers and in the same place, had to have come together in a meaningful way to form the organelles in the cell. No foreign substance, harmful molecule, or useless protein should have been incorporated into the chain. These organelles had to come together in the most organized fashion, with all the necessary enzymes, and had to have been surrounded by a membrane, containing a special fluid that constituted the most ideal environment.
But even if all of these implausible events took place, the pile of molecules that resulted still would not have come to life.
Research has shown that the mere coming together of substances necessary for living things is not sufficient enough for life to come about. Even if all of the proteins needed for life were placed in a test tube, they still wouldn't result in a living being, because life is much more than just a few molecules being found together.
Life is a metaphysical concept. Life is a reflection of the al-Hayy (The Living) attribute of God. Only with His will does life begin, continue and then cease. Just like everything else, life comes about through the mere command of Be from God.
The theory of evolution cannot explain how the necessary substances for life formed, nor how they came together, nor how life first started.
Let's for a moment accept all of these impossibilities: that billions of years ago, all of the substances needed for life came together as a living entity. Alas, the theory of evolution is still destined to collapse! Even if the cell became alive, eventually it would have died. There would have been nothing left, and we would have been back where we started. Because this first living had no genetic system in place, cell would have died not having been able to replicate itself and therefore, could not have left behind a new generation. Life would have expired along with the cell.
The genetic system is not made up of just DNA. Vital components include enzymes that read the code in the DNA, the production of mRNA from the reading of this code, ribosomes upon which the mRNA with its codons binds, the tRNAs that carry to the ribosomes the amino acids to be used in production, and innumerable other complex enzymes that facilitate these processes. All had to be found in the same environment-which, moreover, had to have been completely isolated and controlled. Only in the cell itself are found all of the needed raw materials and energy sources. Consequently, an organic substance can replicate itself only if there first exists a completely functional cell with all its organelles in place. This means that the cell, with its all incredibly complex structure, was created in one instant.
But for a complex structure to come into being instantaneously, what are the implications?
We can compare the cell's complexity to that of a highly developed car (even though the cell actually constitutes a much more complex and highly developed system). Now, suppose you went for a walk through an untouched forest one day and found the latest model car among the trees. All the raw materials making up the car-iron, plastic, rubber, etc.-are made from substances that occur naturally. But would you believe that such a sophisticated, user-friendly machine came about as a result of the coincidental coming together of different elements in the forest over millions of years? Would you think that these various substances were also made coincidentally, and then came together to make such a car?
Of course, you know that any car is the product of conscious design-by engineers working in a factory. And you would wonder what it was doing in the middle of a forest.
For such a complex structure as the cell to come into being in one instant indicates that it was created by a conscious Being. The probability that one useful, meaningful protein could come about by chance is zero, so how impossible is the coming together of millions of these various proteins to form a cell?
Moreover, this chain of impossibilities does not end there. Even if the millions of proteins needed came about by coincidence and gathered at the same point, this is still the equivalent of simply heaping bricks and cement onto a site where a sophisticated skyscraper is to be built. Only with a plan of utmost complexity, after the most sensitive measurements, calculations, and assuming a chain of order and command among intelligent builders, can such a skyscraper be erected.
The fact that some people cannot see clear truths that are in front of their eyes and their denial of their Creator is one of the miracles of God. And like other miracles, it too is astonishing. Just as the creation of the Earth, the Sun and everything in the universe is a sign of God's infinite power and knowledge, so too is the creation of one who denies, even though surrounded by an infinite number of proofs-another sign that God has power over all things.
The living cell possesses the most complex structure the scientific world has ever come across. Even the single cell of tiny prokaryotic bacterium-the simplest organism capable of living as a separate entity-has developed such complexity that the technology of a space shuttle is simple by comparison.
To accept the impossible, suppose that the cell did form coincidentally and then let's consider the plausibility of this supposition. In this situation, most of the innumerable objects and tools we see around us, which are much simpler in structure than the cell, would have to have been formed a thousand times easier than the cell. According to the rules of simple logic, the formation of a less complex object by chance is much easier than the formation of a more complex object by chance. If this highly complex structure could have formed on its own, then simpler ones in the same environment would have to have formed much more easily and in greater numbers. Consequently, if we accept for a second that coincidences have the power to create, then the probability that a television, a car, a microchip or a walkman could form at random, with no creative mind, in a primitive environment, is much higher than a cell theoretically forming by chance. (Without a doubt, in reality, the possibility that these formed by coincidence is zero, and this is a solely imaginary example, the cell included).
For a living cell to form, multiply, and continue the next generation, the proteins making up a major part of the cell's components and the DNA that facilitates genetic transmission must have been found together at the same time. If all the proteins and enzymes, organelles, cell membrane, and DNA all came together at random, even this is not enough to form a cell because of one great danger: DNA can in no way come into contact with these proteins since DNA is acidic, and proteins are bases. Whenever they come in contact, they will immediately react and neutralize each other. Even if the DNA nucleotides and the proteins came together in the "primitive soup"-the imaginary environment so named by evolutionists-they would have destroyed each other and never moved on to the next step.
Another miraculous aspect is that although an acid and a base naturally react together when brought in contact, in the cell these two substances display perfect cooperation and work together in harmony to facilitate production-yet their coming together freely outside of the cell spells destruction for both of them.
As always, this system has been planned in great detail, with all manner of precaution. The DNA has been placed in the nucleus, the safest of all places in the cell, and isolated by very sensitive and special means from surrounding structures that might harm it. During the DNA replication process, contact between the DNA and the enzyme proteins occurs in such a controlled and measured manner that no molecule is damaged, and both substances enjoy the highest productivity.
Biology books by evolutionist authors commonly emphasize that the elements of the processes we have discussed apparently act with conscious intent. Whether writing about the cell, the RNA or the DNA, the enzymes or the organelles, we too frequently used verbs like reads, decides, chooses, tries, repairs. Quite clearly, these verbs can only follow a noun that possesses knowledge, intelligence and will. But the cells we have written about up to this point are composed of mere atoms and molecules that in no way possess the ability to think, make decisions, or reason.
As made clear in previous sections, however complex and amazing a structure the cell may have, it can in no way possess intelligence or consciousness. For this cell or any of its components to desire, decide or control anything is consequently not an issue.
For this reason, verbs such as decides, controls and repairs, assumed to apply to the cell, need in reality to be attributed to the knowledge and intelligence of the Creator.
For example, when we say "this book is trying to say that…" it is obvious that we are talking about what the author of the book is trying to say. Otherwise it is clear that it cannot be understood from this expression that the book itself, its pages and its ink, thought about something and then tried to explain it. (For this to be understood by someone would indicate that that person has a serious mental health problem).
In the same way, expressions such as wants, decides, calculates, which are used in many parts in this book, are just analogies chosen to practically describe and depict the events that take place. To attribute false meanings to the words other than what they mean will lead man into a deep misconception. It's obvious that the will to desire and decide does not come from this heap of unconscious molecules. These characteristics, the creative power that allows this pile of molecules to carry out such conscious and calculated acts and that creates these according to their duties belong only to God. The One Who desires, and decides and makes to happen is God.
That substances we cannot normally form a connection with such concepts carry out these extraordinary acts is a means whereby we can perceive more easily and clearly the true possessor of power and intelligence behind them all.
Up to now, we have explained just a few of the miracles that take place in the cell and in the human body. Anyone with a conscience can perceive the perfection in the creation of his own body and by thus knowing God's handiwork, can grow closer to Him. In contrast, those at a lower level of intelligence will of course maintain the perspective that "However all of this happens, it happens. I care only about what goes in my pocket and down my throat."
But a person of knowledge and conscience will ask, "Why was this perfect system created? And who made it?" There is only one purpose behind this system in each of the trillions of cells in the human body: so that man can perceive and comprehend God's infinite knowledge, intelligence, power and perfection in His creation, and His close attention… Man must realize that not even one molecule within a cell can act without His permission and knowledge, let alone behave like a conscious human being who walks and talks.
Even if we assume that there were no other miracles on the face of the Earth, the fact that 5 billion instructions have been stored in a single cell is enough proof for a person of knowledge and conscience to have faith. And the same proof will this time be proof against those people who, having received such knowledge, turn their faces from God-proof that will drive them to punishment on the Day of Judgment.

My life is pretty hectic right now so I feel that wearing something fun helps my mood. What I also found is that wearing a short skirt moves things along faster sometimes. And because I know you have dirty minds, let me just clarify: I'm talking about people being nicer than usual.
I wanted this hat for ages but I postponed ordering it due to my preconception it wouldn't look good on me. I also have a big head (I suspect that it has to be like that for all my brain to fit in :)))) and that was a worry too.
As for the spiked hoodie, I had to have it – we're talking white tiger here that's like my spirit animal.
Cara Delevingne – who's that girl?
I remembered Cara from her days as an Asos model - even then she caught my eye. She has one of those unforgettable faces – a natural blonde with incredible, light green eyes and dark caterpillar eyebrows, the perfect contrasts – a strange, almost hypnotizing beauty. And, as it turns out, important designers agree as she is now strutting her stuff on every big runway out there.
She began her modeling career when she was 17 and she's now 20 years old. Her debut runway show was for Clements Ribeiro during spring 2012 at London Fashion Week. After that it was the Burberry show in New York and they liked her so much that she ended up as the new face of the fashion house.
That's why Cara Delevingne walked almost exclusively for Burberry and Burberry Prorsum for spring summer 2012 but the next season she was everywhere from Chanel, Stella McCartney, Cacharel to Sonia Rykiel, DKNY, Dolce & Gabbana and more.
You may also remember Cara being part of Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2012. And all of this work didn't go unnoticed as British Vogue described her as the "star face" of the autumn/winter 2012-2013 show season. She was also ranked #25 on models.com's 50 Top Models and won Model Of The Year 2012 at the British Fashion Awards.
And let's not forget about the small part she played in Anna Karenina, as Princess Sorokina, the marriage interest of Count Vronsky who was played by the amazing Aaron Taylor-Johnson whom I love.
It's also rumored she almost got the role of Éponine in Les Misérables but in the end Samantha Barks landed the part instead.
Right now Cara Delevingne is the face of Chanel's Resort 2013 campaign and is booked for every major show in the Fashion Week Circuit.
Besides modeling and acting Cara Delevingne is interested in music as well and it's been said Simon Fueller (the "Pop Idol"/"American Idol" creator) it's set on transforming her into a pop sensation.
This last year she also graced the cover of some of the most prestigious fashion magazines: Vogue, Love, British Vogue, Harper's Bazaar's, Numero.
She definitely was a busy bee and I'm sure that's going to escalade, the fashion world always ends up going crazy for some girl and this is pretty much the case now.
It helps that she is a London socialite. Cara Delevingne is the youngest of three sisters (Cara is 20, Poppy is 26 and Chloe is 28) and was born in rich British family.
Her sister Poppy Delevingne is also a famous British model and the duo is often seen on red carpets, at music festivals and fashion weeks and is frequently featured on the party pages of British Vogue and The Telegraph.
In fact the Delevingne sisters are rich, blue- blooded and can compete with the Middleton sisters as far as the media coverage goes – the gossip columnists live to write about them.
Cara Delevingne and Poppy Delevingne together in a photoshoot!
Cara is the granddaughters of former English Heritage boss, Sir Jocelyn Stevens, who also founded the Caroline radio station, was the director of the London Evening Standard and later the Daily Express and the proprietor-editor of The Queen magazine. His first wife Janie Sheffield was lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret.
Cara Delevingne and her sisters had a privileged life from birth living in London's Mayfair and are friends with the Jaggers and Lily Allen's family. Cara's godmother, Joan Collins, even come up with a clever nickname for this three: the 'Dynasty Sisters'. Catchy, right?
Apparently they know everybody and their mother, from royalty to movie and music stars. Chloe has a degree in biomedical sciences, she is a nightclub entrepreneur and is almost always included in Britain's most powerful lists, Cara is friends with Princess Beatrice, Alexa Chung, Rita Ora, Rihanna, Azealia Banks and Poppy used to live with Sienna Miller.
Although they never officially confirmed (or denied) it Cara Delevingne and One Direction's Harry Styles were causally dating for a few months last year (they were photographed on a number of dates between July and September 2012). It's rumored that she dumped him because her agency/management team considered this relationship made her an even bigger tabloid target and Styles was too "low rent" for Cara. I do agree she can do better than Harry Styles (who's famously getting over anybody in 5 seconds and can always find a cougar to comfort him if needed).
I'm not trying to make her seem like an angel here as she has a reputation for being a party animal and has been see intoxicated in public before (just note she is of legal drinking age in Britain).
She also seem very funny and goofy!
There is no doubt that she has a great career in front of her, I'm sure her profile is going to rise even higher this year and her famous entourage is only going to help her get anything she wants.
Cara has her fair share of haters who think the only reason she made it as a model is her rich family who bought her way into fashion using either money or all the connections and friendships they have with famous people. Maybe she started like that (cause let's be honest thinks do work that way many times) and got her foot in the door via her parents, but there's no denying Cara Delevingne is extremely beautiful and has that special quality that makes a great model.
And let's face it - right now Cara Delevingne has it all - she is young, beautiful and rich. She's the girl who's life every teenager out there wants to live. She is the next big thing!
Cara Delevingne's official Tumblr page!
Do you recognize her face? What do you think?
As you can see I'm wearing a green jumpsuit with a brown leather jacket and a loud gold belt! Nothing new under the sun!
But what I really love about this outfit are the metallic toe orange boots! Those are pretty cool!
Oh, yes – the huge brown bag is not bad either - I can fit a lot of stuff in there and I made a couple of small images with my favorite Old Hollywood actresses that I'm changing every time I use it.
This awful winter day I had Miss Ava Gardner to keep me company 'cause that's how I roll! Entourage is everything and I do like to keep the best company!
Our favorite street style muse, Ulyana Sergeenko, has just sent her second couture collection down the runway. Although slightly off-schedule, her Paris show held at Theatre Marigny (January 22nd 2013) had a star studded front row: Carine Roitfeld, Natalia Vodianova, Derek Blasberg, Dita von Teese, Hamish Bowles and an array of less known Russian socialites and personalities sporting her designs head to toe and showing their support.
All her collections including this one have a constant fairytale/royalty feel that's actually a wholesome extension of Ulyana's own style. And while many have said this is going to get old soon, I feel the exact opposite – her being so true to her own brand and visual identity only shows how much she believes in it and how she's in this business of fashion for the long run.
The models turned princesses for a day were literally stepping out of a life-sized fairytale book down a glittery yellow brick road inspired runway which perfectly embodied the feel of the entire collection: Scarlett O'Hara via Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz meets a heroine of eclectic descent – we had Russian off course, but also British, Mexican, French, Spanish and even 19th century American influences mixed in.
In fact, this American princess exploring the prairie was the main thing polishing off every look as far as I'm concerned. Ulyana Sergeenko Couture Show even had a bit of Salem witches, puritan wives flare here and there.
Isn't this green silk number the most beautiful homage to Scarlett O'Hara's famous curtain dress?
I don't know if I'm the only one, but this is the thing that does it for me when it comes to Ulyana's collections: the original mix of regalia elements with national costume details.
I imagine this spoiled princess bored out of her mind with her overly rich/complicated dresses who decides to borrow some things from her chamber maid wardrobe to transform herself and go mix in with the commoners.
The wasp-waisted silhouette with peplum details is again highlighted and, as in real life, it's becoming a trademark of Ulyana's fashion sensibilities. The floor length skirts have wonderful volumes due to delicate layers of lace and even beautifully done frills trailing down the runway so that every modern heroin can feel royal and empowered.
The looks are finished off with wide brimmed straw hats, fingerless lace gloves, Mexican style knit shawls and ponchos, lace parasols, small box clutches, head scarves and cute aprons.
I love the Old World nostalgic vibe of everything, the subdued color palette with eccentric pops of green and red, the mix of sheer fabrics, silks and heavier tweeds, the subtle prints and the demure bare shoulders – it's like all of the characters I loved reading about as a child and teenager have just landed in modern times. And I say "Welcome" to them all and "Can, I please borrow what your wearing?"!
How do you like it? Do you think that the transition from a street style icon and couture collector to fashion designer is a success story in Ulyana Sergeenko's case?

Coil is supposed to be the hottest club around, so Alexis tags along for a night of dancing and drinking, and hopefully some fun. Unfortunately, before she can even relax, she runs into her ex, Elliot. She thinks he wants to talk, but behind the velvet rope to the V.I.P. area she gets more than the awkward conversation she expected. Instead, she discovers exactly what makes Coil so hot.

Updated Look for Two-Building South Park Development
Residential complex now underway on former parking lots flanking the Herald Examiner Building.
May 10, 2016, 12:49AMSteven Sharp Comments
Updated designs have emerged for a two-building development now rising near the historic offices of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.
The project, which is being developed by Cleveland-based Forest City Enterprises, is named 11x12 for the addresses of its development sites at 1100 S. Hill Street and 1201 S. Main Street. As designed by architecture firm Harley Ellis Devereaux, with direction from Togawa Smith Martin, the dual low-rise buildings will feature a combined 391 residential units and 16,000 square feet of retail space.
The smaller of the two buildings, located at 11th and Hill Streets, will offer 177 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments above 7,300 square feet of ground-level retail space and parking accommodations for 276 vehicles and 201 bicycles. Renderings portray a seven-story structure clad with white stucco and red metal panels, highlighted by a landscaped paseo adjacent to the Herald Examiner Building.
The larger building, situated one block east at 12th Street and Broadway, will feature 214 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments above 9,000 square feet of commercial space and parking accommodations for 231 vehicles and 245 bicycles. The seven-story structure, clad with white stucco and blue metal panels, will offer residential amenities such as a fitness center and a rooftop observation deck.
Completion of 11x12 is currently on track to occur in 2017. The two buildings will follow Forest City's $100-million revival of Blossom Plaza, a long-delayed mixed-use development which is expected to open later this year at Chinatown Station.

I certainly have been enjoying the fresh local asparagus so far this season and in particular I have been using the asparagus and egg combination a lot. Although it is now late in the season, the local asparagus is still readily available at the farmers market which is fortuitous as I recently came across another nice sounding asparagus and egg dish called asparagus mimosa. Asparagus mimosa is a simple dish where the asparagus is served in a lemon and mustard vinaigrette and topped with a hard boiled egg that has been forced through a sieve. This asparagus and egg dish is quite easy to make and just bursting with freshness from the sweet and juicy asparagus to the bright lemon juice in the dressing to the fresh chopped herbs. I particularly liked the texture of the sieved eggs in this dish, though it was not very easy to clean the egg out of the sieve after so I think I will try using a fine grater next time. What a wonderful way to enjoy some asparagus!
Cover the eggs in water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 7 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to cold water and let cool enough to hold.
Meanwhile cook the asparagus in boiling water until it just turns bright green, about 2-3 minutes.
Run the asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
Remove the shell from the egg and force the egg through a sieve with medium sized holes.
Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Toss the asparagus in the dressing and plate it, topping it with the remaining dressing and the egg and garnish with the parsley.
this dish looks simple yet delicious!
I just made something similar to this – Call it asparagus mimosa or what have you, but it's a favorite Italian recipe and always delicious with fresh asparagus in season.
Simple but yet so striking!!
You had me at mimosa…and asparagus…and egg…and…YUM! This looks great. Can't wait to try!
with these eggs it looks absolutely awesome!
at first I thought you meant mimosa, like the drink, and I was very confused! This looks quite good!
Joanne: Apparently it is called mimosa as it looks like a mimosa flower.
What a cool idea with the eggs! I'm trying to think of other things you could out exploded eggs on!
That is beautiful looking. Asparagus is such a favored veggie and I'm glad I know why. YUM.
mimosa on anything is good… my mother grates egg onto chopped chicken liver… which is quite a traditional thing to do… delicious blog!
I love your creativity in this recipe. The idea of asparagus topped with lemon and eggs is fabulous.
You have posted some wonderful asparagus recipes and this one does not disappoint. I love the colors in this dish.
Kevin, I recently had this at a pot luck and was mad I didn't get the recipe it was so fresh.
Beautiful. The colors are so appropriate too for the FIFA fever gripping everyone. I see Brazil's colors in your "Asparagus Mimosa".
Simple. Love it. I think this is something my Gram used to do. She loved to make asparagus dishes.
This looks and sounds delish, Kevin. Eggs and asparagus go so well together.
I made that for a party I catered once and everyone loved it! I have everything ready in the fridge-looks like some lunch for tomorrow!
Ever since I saw Julia Child make this on The French Chef, a hundred million years ago, I've been in love with eggs pressed through a sieve. Beautiful presentation, Kevin.
This is a simple dish! I like the combination of the ingredients. This can be a healthy breakfast!
I love asparagus and this looks SO good.


DisneyFan28 started a topic wii controllers no more?
Re: wii controllers no more?
The onyl controllers affected by this are Gamecube and Classic. The actual Wii Remote itself is not affected at all.
I doubt anything major will come out of this. They still have to go through with the appeal.
There's also a law suit against Rock Band by Konami (who came up with Dance Dance Revolution). Konami claims they originally came up with the idea of playing a music based game with instrument controllers. And yet I doubt we'll see anything coming out of this either.

You've got the 90's version of Fame — appropriately called Fame 90 — with that stylish video featuring the work of a dancer, Louise Lecavalier, from La La La Human Steps. The same imagery and human contortions that accompanied Bowie on his "Goodbye to the Old Hits," tour, 1990's Sound + Vision. I remember that show. I remember how stripped down it seemed, my memory of Glass Spider three years prior still fresh in my mind.
Then you've got the original, the 1975 version of Fame. Ah Bowie in 1975, making an appearance on Soul Train, with a little too much hair mousse and a bit too in love with himself — and still able to pull off a passable lip synch.
You can thank Rembert Browne for finding this one — and posting it amidst a screen-shot analysis of Bowie and Jagger's Live Aid classic, Dancing In The Street — a drop-dead hilarious analysis you can find on this blog by scrolling down to the articles from January 25.

Organizations identify several human rights violations in Brazil
In a written statement, they highlight flaws in various sectors and the country's difficulty tackling the coronavirus crisis
Ecuadorian indigenous activist speaks in the UN
In order to contribute to the annual report of the UN human rights commissioner, civil society organizations have submitted a joint written statement in which they give an overview of the situation in Brazil. The statement is notable for the number of issues raised – and it highlights the urgency of dealing with these complaints.
Among the problems, the text refers to the crisis caused by the pandemic. It mentions the federal government's far-right ideological policy and the organization of a so-called "death liturgy". According to the organizations, this is one of the main obstacles for vulnerable groups to access the emergency basic income.
Besides the lack of inputs to tackle the crisis, another problem identified in the statement is the risk of death faced by some groups – such as journalists and human rights defenders.
This year alone until May, there were two murders, two attempted murders and three death threats against journalists.
One of the key parts of the statement shows the government's difficulty in acting to help those in need at this time. And if that were not enough, the frequent attacks on those trying to provide some kind of health assistance to people. And in claiming the right to access emergency income support.
The written statement containing these complaints was submitted yesterday to the UN Human Rights Council. It will figure among the official documents of the 44th session of the Council.
The complaint was formalized by organizations that have consultative status in the United Nations. A summary of the report has been filed and should be published before the end of this week on the website of the UN, thereby making it an official UN document.

The reality TV star has joined forces with high profile business coach and speaker Adam Stott to create Instagram Secrets, a new program for entrepreneurs wanting to learn how to make an impact on the popular social media platform.
Together James and Adam, both from Essex, have nearly 1 million Instagram followers and are using their expertise to show firms how to grow their business and personal brands through the video and photo sharing social network giant, which has 26.9 million users worldwide.
Over the last few years, Adam has sold more than £50 million worth of products and services through social media and, in 2016, set up his own company – Big Business Events – to show other business owners how to use social media to develop and grow their business.
Adam Stott said: "I interviewed James at one of my live events and was really impressed with his detailed knowledge and commercial attitude to business. That led to a discussion about the valuable information we could share with business owners who want to become successful on Instagram quickly. "When lockdown came into effect, it meant our schedules were a bit more relaxed and we pressed ahead to create and produce this great product that can help anyone regardless, of their experience."
James added: "Business, fitness and travel are my passions and social media is such a huge part of business now that I wanted to share some of the lessons I've learned on my journey so that can help others. I'm careful about which projects I work on, but this is something I wanted to do because I've seen the impact Adam has at his events."
Instagram Secrets is an online training program that covers: how to gain more likes, followers and engagement; what content works for your audience; how to approach brands and understand brand deals; time saving and content optimising apps that can help; and how to use Instagram to generate more sales.

La variante ómicron  (también conocida por el identificador de linaje PANGO B.1.1.529.1, el identificador de clado GISAID GR/484A y el identificador de clado Nextstrain 21K) es una variante del SARS-CoV-2, causante de la enfermedad COVID-19. El primer caso se detectó en Botsuana el 9 de noviembre de 2021 a partir de una muestra recogida bajo los auspicios de la Red para la Vigilancia Genómica en Sudáfrica. El 26 de noviembre de 2021 la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) la designó como una variante preocupante.

La variante tiene un número inusualmente grande de mutaciones, varias de las cuales nuevas y algunas de ellas (concretamente treinta y dos) afectan a la proteína de la espícula utilizada en la mayoría de las vacunas actuales. Este nivel de variación tiene efectos preocupantes respecto a la transmisibilidad, evasión del sistema inmunológico y resistencia ante las vacunas contra la infección asociada al SARS-CoV-2. Por ello, la variante fue rápidamente designada como «preocupante» y varios países introdujeron restricciones de viaje para limitar o ralentizar su propagación internacional.

Sin embargo, el 31 de enero de 2022 se puso fin al bulo de esta variante no era suficiente con dos vacunas cuando los científicos españoles confirmaron que las vacunas son efectivas al igual que otras variantes.

Por su contagiosidad y mutaciones, rápidamente ha dado lugar a subvariantes.

Clasificación

Nomenclatura
El 26 de noviembre, el Grupo Asesor Técnico de la OMS sobre la evolución del Virus SARS-CoV-2 declaró que el linaje PANGO B.1.1.529 era una variante preocupante y lo designó con la letra griega ómicron. La OMS omitió «nu» y «xi», las siguientes letras en el alfabeto griego, para evitar confusiones con la palabra inglesa new y evitar confusión y ofensa con el apellido chino Xi, que es el 296º apellido más común en China y el apellido del líder de dicho país. La Organización Mundial de la Salud reserva la designación «ómicron» para variantes preocupantes.

El proyecto GISAID le ha asignado el identificador de clado GR/484A y el proyecto Nextstrain le ha asignado el identificador de clado 21K.

Mutaciones

La variante tiene una gran cantidad de mutaciones, algunas de las cuales son preocupantes. Treinta y dos de estas mutaciones afectan a la proteína de la espícula. Dicha espícula es el principal objetivo antigénico de los anticuerpos generados por infecciones y de la mayoría de las vacunas administradas hasta 2021. Muchas de esas mutaciones no se habían observado en otras cepas. La variante se caracteriza por 30 cambios de aminoácidos, tres pequeñas supresiones y una pequeña inserción en la proteína de la espícula en comparación con el virus original, de los cuales 15 están ubicados en el dominio de unión al receptor (residuos 319-541). También lleva una serie de cambios y supresiones en otras regiones genómicas. Es de destacar que la variante tiene tres mutaciones en el sitio de división de la furina. El sitio de escisión de la furina aumenta la infectividad del SARS-CoV-2. Las mutaciones por región genómica son las siguientes:

 Proteína de la espícula: A67V. Δ69-70. T95I. G142D. Δ143-145. Δ211. L212I. ins214EPE. G339D. S371L. S373P. S375F. K417N. N440K. G446S. S477N. T478K. E484A. Q493R. G496S. Q498R. N501Y. Y505H. T547K. D614G. H655Y. N679K. P681H. N764K. D796Y. N856K. Q954H. N969K. L981F

Historia

Una persona positiva viajó a Hong Kong proveniente de Sudáfrica. Se identificó un caso confirmado en Israel de un viajero que regresaba de Malaui. junto con dos que regresaron de Sudáfrica y uno de Madagascar. Se detectó otro caso en Bélgica de una joven que viajó a Egipto (donde aparentemente adquirió la infección) e hizo escala en Turquía.

Varios investigadores afirman que la vacuna de Pfizer-BioNTech contra la COVID-19 protege contra la variante ómicron.

Impacto clínico
Para diciembre del 2021, diferentes investigaciones han señalado que la variante posee una mayor capacidad de transmisión incluso en la población previamente infectada por COVID-19. Estos datos han sido extrapolados en base al patrón epidemiológico de infección observado en Sudáfrica durante el último trimestre del 2021. En cuanto al grado de severidad de la enfermedad. en base a los mismos datos previamente  descrito se hipotetiza que los pacientes presentan cuadros clínicos más leves. En un estudio realizado por la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Hong Kong se encontró que la variante ómicron se reproduce con facilidad en los bronquios pero pobremente en los pulmones. Si bien la capacidad de infección es menos eficiente en los pulmones, una carga viral más alta puede empeorar la respuesta inmunitaria.

En relación con la capacidad de la variante de escapar al efecto de las vacunas, un pequeño estudio  mostró  una disminución de hasta 41 veces en cuanto a la formación de anticuerpos neutralizantes en relación con la vacuna Pfizer-BioNTech. Para el 12 de diciembre aún no se cuenta con mayor información en relación con el resto de vacunas.

En España, en la semana del 6 al 12 de diciembre de 2021 se comprobó mediante secuenciación de muestras aleatoria del virus en contagiados que el 47.2 % de las muestras correspondían a la variante ómicron. Las muestras de ómicron en la semana del 29 de noviembre al 5 de diciembre de 2021 fueron del 3.4 %. De esta forma se sigue apuntando a las hipótesis iniciales de la mayor capacidad de propagación de esta variante respecto a la delta.

El 3 de diciembre el subsecretario de prevención y promoción de la salud de México, Hugo López-Gatel confirmó que la variante ómicron ya se encontraba en México. Para el 21 de diciembre se indicó que había al menos 23 casos confirmados de la variante en el territorio mexicano.

Síntomas
No se han asociado síntomas inusuales con la variante y, al igual que con otras variantes, algunos individuos que cursan la infección son asintomáticos.

 No presentan pérdida de olfato ni de gusto, síntoma hasta ahora característico entre los infectados por coronavirus.
 Como principal característica los contagiados presentan secreción nasal y dolor de cabeza
 En España, los pacientes contagiados de COVID-19 con la variante ómicron, son episodios de sudores nocturnos, como brotes de sudoración repentina, síntoma que no se había registrado hasta ahora.

Estadísticas
Casos registrados al 22 de julio de 2022 (UTC).
Datos del rastreador de variantes.

Actualizado el 22 de julio de 2022

Medidas

Se han vetado los vuelos desde Sudáfrica. Namibia. Lesoto. Esuatini. Zambia. Zimbabue. Botsuana. Mozambique y Tanzania. También se irán incluyendo todos los países de África según se vayan detectando un caso o más de esta variante. además de a su lista roja de destinos de viaje.
Además exigen estricto esquema de vacunación completo y PCR negativo de todos los países que se hayan detectado casos de ómicron (linaje B.1.1.529).
Japón ha prohibido el nuevo ingreso a todos los extranjeros a partir del 30 de noviembre del 2021.
México cancela conciertos de fin de año de Los Ángeles Azules y verbena navideña para evitar contagios.
Estados Unidos cancela miles de vuelos en las aerolíneas, se genera una gran pérdida económica.

Church leaders are supposed to be multipliers (see II Timothy 2:2). People inside and outside the church want a culture of multiplication in their organizations (see Liz Wiseman's book Multipliers: How the best leaders make everyone smarter). But sometimes we inadvertently exhibit practices that diminish the potential for our congregations and ministries to thrive.
Take a close look at each of the following statements. If it is true, mark "Y" for yes, and if it's not, mark "N" for no.
If you marked "Y" after any of the above statements, you MAY have some tendencies to act as a diminisher rather than a multiplier. But if that's the case, don't beat yourself up. The truth of the matter is that none of us get it right all the time. And there are steps you can take to create a growth environment and multiplication mindset for your congregation. If you are interested in multiplying your impact by starting a new service, site, or congregation, contact me.
