Ten Bay and Double Bay
Paradise Almost Lost
Ten Bay Double Bay Island Page Home Page
TEN BAY is on the Caribbean, while DOUBLE BAY can be found off the deeper waters on the Atlantic side. While they share the fact they are only two miles apart mid-way between Palmetto Point and Savannah Sound, the two beach areas are quite different. Ten Bay has mostly calm waters,hidden coves and beautiful sunsets. Double Bay boasts of deep blue ocean, whiter sand, and bigger houses and a longer beach. The houses on Double Bay - as well as its sister beach to the south, Windemere Island - cater to more affluent guests and are more expensive to rent. Where Double Bay and particularly Windemere have played host to the rich and famous, notably the British Royal family, Ten Bay has several affordable vacation rental houses and welcomes those who aren't quite rich yet . . . although a few are!
TEN BAY BEACH. Eleuthera Island could be called the island of broken dreams, since it's been home to many foreign dreamers wanting to develop their own bit of paradise and share it with the world. Ten Bay was once such a place. This beautiful piece of property was laid out for over 200 home sites to be surrounded by the natural beauty of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean and made into a large island club community. The proposed development was to border both major bodies of water and include parts of Double Bay. The owners started the project by constructed the "Tea House" next to a natural lake near the Queen's Highway as a clubhouse for property owners. After many years and several hurricanes later however, the "Tea House" is no longer functional, but can still be seen as a weather-worn landmark to the nearby turn-off gravel road. The main road to Ten Bay is now maintained by the current residents who've built some nice homes to fulfill their own personal dream. Currently, there are only a dozen homes built at Ten Bay, with about half of those directly on the bay. Click Here for more beach pictures.
WHERE TO STAY. If you want to enjoy the ease and beauty of Ten Bay without the distractions of civilization, stay at Bahama Villa, a 2 BR oceanfront villa less than 100 yards from the beach, wading distance. Sitting on a promintory overlooking Ten Bay, this private home with central AC enjoys panoramic views of the entire bay, with both sunrise and sunset. Weekly rent starts at only $995 per week, and the owners have supplied the villa with all the comforts and amenities of home. For more information and an online tour, go to www.BahamaVilla.com.
Welcome to Ten Bay. There is more fish here than you could imagine. Swimming and snorkeling is easy and delightful, and frogs, crickets, egrets and other birds surround you with the sounds of silenceas your worries slip away. Relax, unwind, and enjoy spectacular sunsets and a lonely beach in a place the L.A. Times said "rates a 10-plus . . . like a hideaway straight out of central casting."
BOAT RENTALS. There are neighbors who will rent, but things change quite frequently. The best policy is to just ask around when you arrive.
DOUBLE BAY BEACH stretches about 5-miles from North Palmetto Point, following Old Queen's Highway around Tongue Point, and to the community of Double Bay, so-called because of adjoining inland ponds that you must cross via a narrow causeway to get to it. Like many Atlantic beachfront communities in Eleuthera, Double Bay's homes are built on the higher elevations overlooking the beach and lined with Palm and Casaurina trees. Since the Atlantic has much higher waves, especially during a hurricane, the terrain has that "dug out" appearance as if some mammoth earth mover has been taking chunks out of it for centuries. During hurricanes the elevation protects the homes from the biggest threat - flooding - but the high winds can be just as destructive.
The diving and snorkeling is wonderful in calm water, especially around the peninsula at the southern end separating Double Bay from Girt Bay. Also check out the shipwreck on the distant reef and the small island called Diamond Cay.
WHERE TO STAY. Many nice homes are available to rent at Double Bay and Windemere, but again, expect to pay anywhere from around $300 to upwards of $1000 USD per night, and most will only rent by the week. If you are part of a large group needing a big house for a nice getaway, or just have the money to splurge, contact Judy McGinty of Bahamas Home Rentals at judy@bahamasweb.com, 1-888-881-2867 or 321-725-9790 for a list of their offerings.
If you have less money or a smaller party, you might also find Unique Village (right) more to your liking. They have rooms and apartments near the beach starting less than $200 a night. Their stretch of beach is a more rocky than further south at the private home area, but the views are just as nice.

I came a pretty good low impact yoga routine that works well on days you have to take a rest. True growth comes from working out hard and then giving your body time to heal the little tears. Engaging in light walking and yoga on your days off help to keep your muscles flexible and your blood flowing to encourage healing.


Our bodies, our brains, may not be the wondrous vehicles that we wish they were, they may not function with perfect grace, even when we love them. They are frequently sources of pain, fear, and frustration. But you are all of those tiny things, and more, and you are not extraordinary because of those things. They are extraordinary because of you. Because of your mind and heart and vision, and your ability to see things and know things, and weave connections together that others cannot see.
All of these things came together, somehow, to make you, and that makes those things incredible. You possess magic. You elevate all that has gone into the making of you, because you are utterly, painfully unique. And that will not end the mad weasel-dancing of our brains, no, but it gives some beauty to it all, and is a place to rest our thoughts when it seems like all that has gone into the making of us is failure, insufficiency, and dust.
We are things the world has made, as amazing and imperfect as we may be, and we can only ever be as it has made us. We can't be anything else, only work with what we are. Thankfully, we're amazing, despite being ill-suited for some, or many, things. Sometimes I feel like a mistake. I have heard people say that god doesn't make mistakes. I don't believe in god, but I don't know if I believe in those sorts of mistakes, either. If we're mistakes, we're extraordinary ones. I will agree to "flawed", even "broken", but never to "worthless" or "unworthy". Over the way we are made? No, I don't accept that. My brain tries to eat me on a regular basis. I often wish I was not what I am. It is frustrating and awful and terribly inconvenient and sometimes utterly embarrassing, but it doesn't make me lesser than any other person made of saltwater and the sighing of komodo dragons.
I have to remind myself of that so often. But it's truth. I would say "never feel sorry for being broken sometimes" but that's not a thing that anyone can just do. I'm awful at it. I think it's just . . . part of the deal, you know? We will always have those moments. I will just say that in those moments, believe those who love you above yourself, because those who love us can see the sheer unlikely glory of us in a way that we are helplessly blind to, no matter how we try to see.
There's awful things in the world — murder and poisons and disease and parasitic worms and runts that don't make it — and bits of those brush off on things that brush off on other things and eventually find our way into us just like the beautiful starlight and dust from luna moth wings do, and some people might argue that it makes being, somehow, partly a lioness a little less impressive . . . but . . . I don't think that's true. I think all those little darknesses that come to us just from being in the world are important, too, though the things themselves are often things that should not be, and which benefit no-one. But we're made, a little bit, from darkness, and that makes the fact that we fight so hard and bloody so many spears in the pursuit of self-preservation so extraordinary.
Part of us is battlefield air, or dust kicked up by lethal volcanic eruptions, or water washed through the bones of the drowned, and yet . . . we still make art, have dreams, love one another, laugh at "that's what she said" jokes. We have our darknesses, some we make and some we are issued at birth and some that's accidental entirely, and sometimes I think that the most important work someone broken like me can do is transforming that darkness into something we can use, something we can live with. Not into light, but into something familiar, that holds no more fear.
I am not grateful to the world for handing me darkness and pain, but it's undeniably taught me things I can now use against it. I am grateful to myself, and to the good parts of the world, for making me strong enough to learn those things, and keep fighting. I am grateful for friends who remind me that people are amazing, and I am therefore amazing too, because I am a people.

Beautiful. I love this imagery.
OH MY GOD, MY FIRST COMMENT.
I remember when you wrote this for me. I keep coming back to it and crying joyful tears.


This course will consider a diverse variety of musical styles by following how musical ideas get re-used. Sometimes these re-uses are considered theft but other times they are regarded as an homage or borrowing. Using as our central text a recent graphic novel written by law professors called Theft! A History of Music, this course will look at the issues surrounding musical borrowing, alluding, quoting, sampling, and stealing. Poet and literary critic T.S. Eliot posited that "immature poets imitate; mature poets steal," and a similar sentiment has been attributed to the composer Igor Stravinsky. But is it really a question of maturity and artistic development? Who gets to own music, and how? What rights do creators have to use the music of others? How has copyright law developed and how does it balance questions of freedom and control? Our case studies will include works of jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, rap, and film music.

A jihadist from New Zealand who has joined the Islamic State in Syria, has accidentally given up his exact location by sending out tweets, according to a Canadian intelligence group.The extremist has deleted the tweets.
Mohammad Daniel, also known as Abu Abdul Rahman, and formerly known as Mark John Taylor sent out more than 45 tweets documenting his whereabouts before realizing that it may have been a mistake.
"Unfortunately for him we captured all of them prior to him removing the tweets and will discuss the value of the intelligence they contained," Canada-based open source intelligence research group iBRABO, which spotted the failure, said in a press-release.
Tracking terrorists in this way is of immense value to intelligence services trying to establish the whereabouts of jihadists, iBRABO stressed.
Because of his actions, iBRABO could trace Kiwi Jihadi to a specific house that he had "predominantly used" between December 3 and December 10. Subsequent tweets showed that he had been moving.
"No doubt this is a better alternative than being targeted by a drone strike or any group with the operational capabilities to target his short lived home in Al Tabqah," Weyers added.
Previous tweets that Taylor had sent out in October had clearly shown him to have been with ISIS fighters in Syria – Kafar Roma –an area which Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.
"From his broadcasts during the first two weeks in October (below) we know that his tweets ceased about the same time the Syrian army made a strong push into the area," iBRABO said.
Taylor already made headlines in September after incinerating his New Zealand passport and posting pictures of the charred remains on Facebook with the caption "one way trip".
However, he decided later on that it had not been a good idea, telling Aotearoa Independent Media Centre that "I only went there for adventure Jihad, but along the way I realized Syria is in a very dire need of humanity aid and support." He claimed to have been in contact with New Zealand authorities to request a replacement. However, there is no evidence that they responded.
In July he told the New Zealand Herald that he would stay fighting in Syria until his "martyrdom".
It isn't just Twitter that uses geotag tracking in its updates; Facebook, Instagram and Flickr all use it, and all the geotag information.
"Pictures also quite often can contain geotag information and have been used to establish the movements of groups and their activities," iBRABO said.
iBRABO has suggested that the recent "Tweet removal hasn't been Taylor's only social media failure.
"Taylor shows again his lack of understanding of technology and intelligence as he broadcast out the facial image of another fighter captured in the background of his photo," it said.

Wellsboro is the creation of a land agent serving the interests of a Philadelphia-based land company. In 1800, Benjamin Wistar Morris, of the important Philadelphia family, moved to a site that he would call Wellsboro in honor of his wife's family. Four years later, the state assured that Tioga County's seat would be at its center near where Morris lived and where his land company held vast acreage. This was far removed from New Englanders, who had begun arriving in the 1790s and had no interest in becoming part of a Pennsylvania county. Like other Northern Tier county seats, it grew slowly and became the county's first borough only in 1830. A railroad line arrived from the north in 1872, and in 1881 a second line connected Wellsboro with Williamsport to the south. By that time lumber, and to a lesser degree semibituminous coal, dominated the local economy. Today tourism underpins much of the economy, helped by Wellsboro's proximity to two state parks. "Wellsboro … is one of the most pleasant and entertaining towns in Northern Pennsylvania," local writer John L. Sexton boasted in 1876 in his history of Pennsylvania. It remains so, and is arguably even more pleasant since the 1990s, when the borough began its Enhancement Program, which has upgraded amenities and eye appeal. Main Street, with its gaslights and a grassy strip down its middle, is a unique Northern Tier boulevard.
Wellsboro's Philadelphia-inspired grid plan was only partially developed and is most evident east of Main Street and opposite the courthouse. The town's best architecture is in its western section, where, moving westward from Main and East streets, a three-block commercial district dissolves into a late-nineteenth-century residential neighborhood. Wellsboro Cemetery at the town's northern edge on Nichols Street has a fine Romanesque Revival entrance. Among the cemetery's notable monuments is the mausoleum erected to imitate a log cabin in local sandstone that local judge and U.S. congressman Stephen F. Wilson had built for himself in 1889, eight years before his death.
Facing the courthouse ( TI5) is the green, a block-sized park laid out early in Wellsboro's history. Its memorials include an 1886 Civil War monument and Samuel Conkey's 1886 bronze bust of John Magee, founder of the Fall Brook Coal Company. The green's centerpiece is Mabel Landrum Torrey's sculpture of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod, inspired by Eugene Field's 1889 poem "The Dutch Lullaby" and dedicated in 1938.

Product listing: RPL5 (D5Q5X) Rabbit mAb, UniProt ID P46777 #51345 to XBP-1s (E7M5C) Mouse mAb, UniProt ID P17861-2 #47134
Monoclonal Antibody - RPL5 (D5Q5X) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID P46777, Entrez ID 6125 #51345
Human, Monkey
Application Methods: Western Blotting
Background: Ribosomal protein L5 (RPL5) is one of several proteins that comprise the 60S ribosomal subunit. RPL5 binds 5S rRNA and the nucleolar RPL11 protein to form the 5S ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP) that is incorporated into the large 60S ribosomal subunit (1). An RP-MDM2-p53 protein complex that contains ribosomal proteins RPL5, RPL11, and RPL23 acts as a nucleolar stress sensor that binds and inhibits MDM2 ubiquitin ligase activity and enhances p53-mediated transcriptional activity (2,3). RPL5 cooperates with RPL11 to influence ribosome biogenesis through regulating expression of the transcription factor c-Myc, which acts as the master regulator of ribosome biogenesis (4). Mutations in the corresponding RPL5 gene are associated with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, which is a form of red blood cell aplasia, and some cases of pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (5,6).

D. melanogaster, Human, Monkey, Mouse, Rat
Application Methods: Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence (Frozen), Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry)
Background: One way that growth factors and mitogens effectively promote sustained cell growth and proliferation is by upregulating mRNA translation (1,2). Growth factors and mitogens induce the activation of p70 S6 kinase and the subsequent phosphorylation of the S6 ribosomal protein. Phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein correlates with an increase in translation of mRNA transcripts that contain an oligopyrimidine tract in their 5' untranslated regions (2). These particular mRNA transcripts (5'TOP) encode proteins involved in cell cycle progression, as well as ribosomal proteins and elongation factors necessary for translation (2,3). Important S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation sites include several residues (Ser235, Ser236, Ser240, and Ser244) located within a small, carboxy-terminal region of the S6 protein (4,5).

Monoclonal Antibody - SF2/ASF (D1N3S) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q07955, Entrez ID 6426 #14902
Background: SF2/ASF is a member of the Ser-Arg-rich (SR) protein family of highly conserved nuclear phosphoproteins involved in pre-mRNA splicing (1). Besides its role in nuclear pre-mRNA splicing, SF2/ASF has been shown to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm, suggesting additional roles in mRNA transport and cytoplasmic events (2). SF2/ASF associates with translating ribosomes and stimulates translation (3). It also activates translation initiation by suppressing the activity of 4E-BP1, which is mediated by SF2/ASF association with mTOR and the phosphatase PP2A (4). More recent studies have demonstrated a role for SF2/ASF in microRNA processing (5).
Monoclonal Antibody - SF2/ASF (D6S7V) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q07955, Entrez ID 6426 #14908
Monoclonal Antibody - SF3B1 (D7L5T) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID O75533, Entrez ID 23451 #14434
Background: Splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1) is an integral component of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U2 snRNP) and plays an important role in the splicing of pre-mRNA that involves the removal of introns and the joining of exons to form mature mRNA (1-3). The assembly and proper recognition of splice sites are driven by sequences at the pre-mRNA intron-exon splice sites. The 5' splice donor site is recognized by the U1 snRNP complex, while U2 snRNP binds to the 3' splice site (branch point), ensuring the anchoring of the spliceosome machinery at the splice sites (3,4). Recent whole exome sequencing studies have demonstrated a high incidence of somatic mutations of SF3B1 in patients with various hematological malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes (2,3,5,6). Misregulation of pre-mRNA splicing arising from mutations of the spliceosome components such as SF3B1 is thought to contribute to changes in the expression patterns of key proteins that are involved in pathways such as cell cycle progression, cell death, and cancer metabolism (2,3).
Monoclonal Antibody - SKAR α/β (D65E8) XP® Rabbit mAb, UniProt ID Q9BY77, Entrez ID 84271 #5439
Application Methods: Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), Western Blotting
Background: p70 S6 kinase is a mitogen activated Ser/Thr protein kinase downstream of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) and the target of rapamycin, FRAP/mTOR. p70 S6 kinase is required for cell growth and cell cycle progression (1,2). SKAR is a recently discovered substrate of S6K1. SKAR exists in two isoforms, α and β, the latter having a 29 amino acid truncation. Phosphorylation of SKAR is mitogen-induced and sensitive to rapamycin. Reduction in SKAR protein levels results in decreased cell size, further implicating SKAR in cell growth control (3).
Monoclonal Antibody - SMN1 (2F1) Mouse mAb, UniProt ID Q16637, Entrez ID 6606 #12976
Application Methods: Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting
Background: Survival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) is essential for the maturation of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) (1,2). SMN1 plays a role in the assembly of spliceosomal snRNPs in the cytoplasm, together with the Gemin proteins, and may also participate in the transport of snRNPs into the nucleus (3-6). SMN1 also participates in the maturation and turnover of snRNPs in nuclear foci Gemini bodies (gems) (7). In addition to the maturation of spliceosomal snRNPs, SMN1 has also been proposed to directly regulate pre-mRNA splicing (8). Researchers have found mutations and deletions of the SMN1 gene are found in 95% of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) neuromuscular disorder cases (1,9).
Monoclonal Antibody - Symplekin (D5Y3T) Rabbit mAb - Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q92797, Entrez ID 8189 #13071
Application Methods: Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting
Background: Symplekin is necessary for 3'-end cleavage and polyadenylation of mRNAs, histone 3'-end processing and polyadenylation in the cytoplasm (1-5). It is thought to act as a scaffolding protein that brings together factors involved in mRNA 3'-end processing (1,2). Symplekin also plays a role in transcription initiation and termination by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) through bridging the interaction between the polyadenylation machinery and RNAPII (3,6,7). In addition to its role in mRNA 3'-end processing, research studies have shown that symplekin localizes at epithelial cell tight junctions where it may help to regulate tight junction assembly, thereby maintaining the integrity of the epithelial monolayer and cell polarity (8,9).
Monoclonal Antibody - TCF11/NRF1 (D5B10) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q14494, Entrez ID 4779 #8052
Human, Monkey, Mouse
Background: Transcription factor 11 (TCF11) is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor. It is also referred to as Nuclear factor E2-related factor 1 (NRF1). TCF11 was initially reported to activate erythroid-specific, human globin gene expression (1). It plays an essential role during embryonic development (2). It also associates with other transcription factors, such as Jun proteins, to transcriptionally control antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated expression in response to antioxidants and xenobiotics (3-5). TCF11 has been shown to regulate proteasomal degradation and mediate the proteasome recovery pathway after proteasome inhibition (6,7). TCF11 is ubiquitously expressed (8) and several isoforms have been reported. The 120 kDa form exists in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane under normal conditions. Upon proteasome inhibition, TCF11 translocates to the nucleus (9). The 65 kDa N-terminal-truncated form is constitutively localized to the nucleus (10,11). TCF11 protein levels are regulated by ubiquitination and proteasomal-mediated degradation (12); proteasome inhibitors stabilize TCF11.
Monoclonal Antibody - TFEB (D2O7D) Rabbit mAb, UniProt ID P19484, Entrez ID 7942 #37785
Application Methods: Chromatin IP, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting
Background: Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a member of the Myc-related, bHLH leucine-zipper family of transcription factors that drives the expression of a network of genes known as the Coordinated Lysosomal Expression and Regulation (CLEAR) network (1,2). TFEB specifically recognizes and binds regulatory sequences within the CLEAR box (GTCACGTGAC) of lysosomal and autophagy genes, resulting in the up-regulated expression of genes involved in lysosome biogenesis and function, and regulation of autophagy (1,2). TFEB is activated in response to nutrient deprivation, stimulating translocation to the nucleus where it forms homo- or heterooligomers with other members of the microphthalmia transcription factor (MiTF) subfamily and resulting in up-regulation of autophagosomes and lysosomes (3-5). Recently, it has been shown that TFEB is a component of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1), which regulates the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of TFEB in response to cellular starvation and stress (6-9). During normal growth conditions, TFEB is phosphorylated at Ser211 in an mTORC1-dependent manner. Phosphorylation promotes association of TFEB with 14-3-3 family proteins and retention in the cytosol. Inhibition of mTORC1 results in a loss of TFEB phosphorylation, dissociation of the TFEB/14-3-3 complex, and rapid transport of TFEB to the nucleus where it increases transcription of CLEAR and autophagy genes (10). TFEB has also been shown to be activated in a nutrient-dependent manner by p42 MAP kinase (Erk2). TFEB is phosphorylated at Ser142 by Erk2 in response to nutrient deprivation, resulting in nuclear localization and activation, and indicating that pathways other than mTOR contribute to nutrient sensing via TFEB (3).

Monoclonal Antibody - THEX1 (D2B4) Rabbit mAb - Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q8IV48, Entrez ID 90459 #4052
Background: THEX1 (3'hExo) is a 3' exonuclease that may play a role in the degradation of histone mRNA transcripts (1). A recently identified member of the DEDDh 3' exonuclease family, THEX1 binds the conserved stem-loop structure found at the 3' end of mRNA in vitro (2). The binding of THEX1 to mRNA requires the presence of a terminal ACCCA sequence and is enhanced by the concurrent binding of stem-loop binding protein (SLBP). Cleavage of histone mRNA by THEX1 exonuclease may help produce the rapid turnover of histone mRNA transcripts associated with the completion of DNA replication (3). Additional evidence suggests that THEX1 may be responsible for excising the remaining few 3' nucleotides following cleavage by a different enzyme (4).

Monoclonal Antibody - THOC4/ALY (D3R4R) Rabbit mAb, UniProt ID Q86V81, Entrez ID 10189 #12655
Background: mRNA export is a process that is tightly coupled to mRNA splicing (1-4). Splicing and packaging of mRNAs in the form of an mRNA-protein complex (mRNP) leads to the recruitment of the mRNA export adaptor THOC4/ALY, via its interaction with the splicing factor UAP56, forming a large complex termed the transcription-export complex (TREX) (1,2,5). THOC4/ALY then directly interacts with NXF1/TAP, a part of the heterodimer that targets the mRNP to the nuclear pore complex, resulting in the shuttling of mRNP out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm (1-3,6).
Monoclonal Antibody - TIA-1 (D1Q3K) Rabbit mAb - Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting, UniProt ID P31483, Entrez ID 7072 #86050
Background: T-cell intracellular antibody 1 (TIA-1) is a member of the RNA-recognition motif (RRM) family of RNA-binding proteins that was originally found to induce DNA fragmentation in digitonin-permeabilized thymocytes (1). TIA-1 protein has about 80% identity to the related TIAR protein, both of which possess three amino-terminal RRM domains and a glutamine-rich carboxyl terminus (1,2). Alternative splicing is responsible for generating at least two isoforms of TIA-1 and TIAR (3,4). Several research studies indicate that TIA-1 and TIAR play a role in apoptosis, cellular stress, and inflammation. Importantly, TIA-1 and TIAR translocate from the nucleus to stress granules in response to a variety of environmental stresses (5-8). Stress granules function as sites of translational repression in response to potentially damaging conditions. mRNA transcripts targeted by TIA-1 and TIAR include TNF-α, COX-2, cytochrome c, GADD45α, and HIF-1α (8-13).
Monoclonal Antibody - TIAR (D26E4) Rabbit mAb, UniProt ID Q01085, Entrez ID 7073 #8611
Background: TIAR is a member of the RNA-recognition motif (RRM) family of RNA-binding proteins (1,2). It functions as a translational repressor under conditions of cellular damage (3,4). In response to cellular stress, TIAR associates with eIF1, eIF3, and the 40S ribosomal subunit and forms noncanonical preinitiation complexes that are translationally inactive (3,4). TIAR then aggregates with its family member TIA1 and facilitates the accumulation of the translationally inactive preinitiation complexes into discrete cytoplasmic foci called stress granules. The two major isoforms of TIAR are the products of alternative mRNA splicing (5,6).

Application Methods: Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), Immunoprecipitation, Western Blotting
Monoclonal Antibody - Tristetraprolin (D1I3T) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID P26651, Entrez ID 7538 #71632
Human, Mouse, Rat
Background: Tristetraprolin (TTP), also known as NUP475, G0S24, RNF162A, TIS11, and ZFP36, is a CCCH tandem zinc-finger protein that binds to adenosine and uridine (AU)-rich elements (AREs) within 3'-untranslated regions of mRNA and leads to their rapid degradation (1-6). Expression of TTP is rapidly induced by mitogens and growth factors including insulin, phorbol ester, cytokines, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In addition, numerous phosphorylation sites on TTP can regulate its stability, nuclear to cytosolic trafficking, as well as controlling its ARE-binding activity. Many of the target mRNAs for TTP, such as TNF-α, have critical roles in inflammation and cancer (2), and mice deficient in TTP develop a systemic autoimmune inflammatory syndrome along with excessive TNF-α levels (7). Furthermore, suppression of TTP expression has been identified as a negative prognostic indicator for some cancers (8).
Monoclonal Antibody - U2AF1 (D6S3Q) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q01081, Entrez ID 7307 #13705
Background: U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 1 (U2AF1) is the small (35 kDa) subunit of the U2 auxiliary factor (U2AF) that plays an essential role in the splicing of pre-mRNA to generate functional mRNA transcripts. U2AF1 forms a heterodimer with the large (65 kDa) U2AF2 subunit to create the U2 auxiliary factor that recognizes the 3' splice site and facilitates spliceosome assembly (1-3). Research studies indicate that U2AF1 binds to the 3'-splice site consensus AG dinucleotide at the intron-exon boundary while U2AF2 recognizes and binds the polyprimidine tract upstream of the 3' splice site. These two steps ensure accurate spliceosome assembly at splice sites (4-6). Mutations in the corresponding U2AF1 gene are associated with a type of hematopoietic stem cell disorder known as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which can be characterized by low blood counts, anemia, and enhanced acute myeloid leukemia risk (7-9). Somatic U2AF1 mutations frequently affect highly conserved zinc finger protein regions that result in defective pre-mRNA splicing of genes involved in cell cycle progression and RNA processing pathways, contributing to MDS pathogenesis (7,10).
Monoclonal Antibody - Upf1 (D15G6) Rabbit mAb, UniProt ID Q92900, Entrez ID 5976 #12040
Background: Upf1 was identified as an active component in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), an mRNA surveillance mechanism in eukaryotic cells that degrades mRNAs containing premature termination codons (1). Upf1 was found to be an ATP-dependent RNA helicase in the cytoplasm (2) and was later shown to be a component of cytoplasmic P-bodies (3). Upf1 phosphorylation mediates the repression of translation that accompanies NMD, allowing mRNA accessibility to the NMD machinery (4). Two other active components of NMD, Upf2 and Upf3, were also identified and described as having perinuclear and nucleocytoplasmic localization, respectively (5).
Monoclonal Antibody - Upf2 (D3B10) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID Q9HAU5, Entrez ID 26019 #11875
Monoclonal Antibody - XBP-1s (D2C1F) Rabbit mAb - Western Blotting, UniProt ID P17861, Entrez ID 7494 #12782
Background: Following protein synthesis, secretory, intra-organellar, and transmembrane proteins translocate into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they are post-translationally modified and properly folded. The accumulation of unfolded proteins within the ER triggers an adaptive mechanism known as the unfolded protein response (UPR) that counteracts compromised protein folding (1). The transmembrane serine/threonine kinase IRE1, originally identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a proximal sensor for the UPR that transmits the unfolded protein signal across the ER membrane (2-4). The human homolog IRE1α was later identified and is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues (5). Upon activation of the unfolded protein response, IRE1α splices X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) mRNA through an unconventional mechanism using its endoribonuclease activity (6). This reaction converts XBP-1 from an unspliced XBP-1u isoform to the spliced XBP-1s isoform, which is a potent transcriptional activator that induces expression of many UPR responsive genes (6).

Q: what's the difference between Modelobject.id and Modelobject_id in django? want to know the difference between Modelobject.id and Modelobject_id in Python django.
Tried both and they both work the same.

A: They have the same return value, but have a different process.

*

*Modelobject.id re-fetching/hit the database.

*but Modelobject_id not re-fetching/hit the database.

For example, if you work with 2 models:
class User(models.Model):
    ...

class Product(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, ...)

So, if you come from the Product object, then you'll get the user id for example.
product_object = Product.objects.get(pk=1)
product_object.user.id  # <-- hit the database for querying the User

but if you come with:
product_object.user_id  # <-- this will not re-hit the database

The other things is, user_id represented as a user_id field in the database of Product for relation purpose. Meanwhile, the user.id is represented as a User(Object) and id(primary_key) field.

Stephen Arthur Stills, född 3 januari 1945 i Dallas, Texas, är en amerikansk gitarrist, sångare och låtskrivare. Stills är kanske mest känd som medlem i grupperna Buffalo Springfield och Crosby, Stills & Nash, men har även givit ut ett flertal skivor som soloartist.

Karriär
Stills spelade i en rad mindre framgångsrika band innan han 1966 bildade folkrockbandet Buffalo Springfield tillsammans med Richie Furay, som han tidigare spelat med i The Au Go Go Singers, Neil Young, som han träffat under en turné i Kanada, samt Bruce Palmer och Dewey Martin. Bandet gav ut tre album innan det upplöstes 1968. Stills skrev flera av bandets låtar, bland annat hiten "For What It's Worth".

Kort efter uppbrottet med Buffalo Springfield spelade Stills tillsammans med Mike Bloomfield och Al Kooper in albumet Super Session (1968). Därefter bildade han supergruppen Crosby, Stills & Nash tillsammans med David Crosby och Graham Nash. På det framgångsrika debutalbumet Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969) spelade Stills nästan alla instrument, vilket gav honom smeknamnet "Captain Manyhands". Från albumet blev Stills "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" en hit. Gruppen utökades senare med Neil Young och hade i början av 1970-talet ytterligare framgångar med albumen Déjà Vu (1970) och 4 Way Street (1971). Medlemmarna gick därefter skilda vägar men har gjort flera återföreningar genom åren, med och utan Young.

Stephen Stills solodebuterade 1970 med albumet Stephen Stills, från vilket han fick en hit med låten "Love the One You're With". Året efter följde han upp med Stephen Stills 2, med bland annat låten "Change Partners". Samma år bildade han gruppen Manassas tillsammans med bland andra Chris Hillman från The Byrds. Gruppen gav ut albumen Manassas (1972) och Down the Road (1973) innan den upplöstes.

Stills fortsatte efter Manassas återigen som soloartist och gav ut albumen Stills (1975) och Illegal Stills (1976). I mitten av 1970-talet inledde han ett nytt samarbete med Neil Young under namnet The Stills-Young Band. De spelade dock bara in ett album, Long May You Run 1976. De inledde också en turné, men Young hoppade av efter några konserter.

Stills gav ut ytterligare ett soloalbum under 1970-talet, Thoroughfare Gap (1978), och ett med Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN, 1977). Hans produktivitet sjönk kraftigt i slutet av 1970-talet, men han har fortsatt ge ut soloskivor, såsom Right by You (1984), Stills Alone (1991) och Man Alive! (2005), och genomfört flera återföreningar med Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Utmärkelser

1997 valdes Stills in i Rock and Roll Hall of Fame två gånger, dels som medlem av Buffalo Springfield och dels som medlem av Crosby, Stills & Nash. Han valdes 2009 in i Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Tidskriften Rolling Stone rankade 2003 Stills som den 28:e bästa gitarristen genom tiderna.

Privatliv
Stephen Stills har varit gift tre gånger. Hans första äktenskap var med den franska sångerskan Véronique Sanson, som han träffade under en turné med Manassas i Frankrike och gifte sig med 1973. Han har flera barn, av vilka Chris Stills och Jennifer Stills också blivit musiker. Hans son Oliver Ragland Stills (född 2004) är döpt efter Neil Young, vars mors flicknamn var Ragland.

Bass Pro targets Cabela's for merger
>> Hunting and fishing staple Cabela's to be bought by rival retailer Bass Pro Shops for $5.5 billion, the company said Monday. The move comes amid a gun buying frenzy, as uncertainty swirls over America's gun laws. Late founder Dick Cabela launched his namesake business in 1961 by selling fishing flies from his Nebraska kitchen.
The retailer has been struggling with declining sales of apparel and footwear following his death in 2014. Exploring a sale at the urging of activist hedge fund Elliott Associates, a top shareholder. The deal, at 65.50 a share, represents a 19% premium to Cabela's Friday closing price. Bass Pro Shops is mostly owned by Johnny Morris, who founded the outdoor chain in his dad's Missouri liquor store 45 years ago.
Morris will continue as CEO of the company. Cabela's credit card business will be sold to Capital One, which will form a 10 year partnership will Bass Pro Shops to issue credit cards to Cabela's customers. The combined company will own 184 stores in the US and Canada.

Q: Can only get a value of false to return when accessing Sensor.TYPE_TEMPERATURE The Google doc's cover every one of the sensors except the temperature sensor, but continue to say that you can access that data...........it's aggrevating as heck, the doc's are very good in some parts and very bad in others.
I have no problem getting the data from the other sensors so I'm quite sure my code is good.  Would love some insite on how to retrieve the temp sensors value(s).

A: In Android, when polling for a sensor's data,
a value of 'False' is returned to your app when no events for your particular sensor have been reported.
Please verify that your low-level implementation is working fine.
Log your kernel-drivers and watch if they are reporting events as expected by the Android Sensor HAL.

Let's talk about gifts for travelers. Or gifting in general.
I'm sure you got my point.
Here are five gifts for travelers they will truly appreciate, love, and continue to use even if they already own a dozen of them. Okay, a dozen is probably a bit of a stretch but, again, you had my point. Also, there are no keychains and ref magnets. Promise!
Let's admit it. We all love to take photos during our travels. As the pesky internet people would always say, "photos or it didn't happen." And so we all felt guilty when we can't have enough to blast them with on social media.
During our three-day camping in the mountains of Jabal Sawda, I found myself deliberately avoiding the incessant use of my GoPro and iPhone to take photos and videos in fear that I'd quickly empty my batteries and there is just no way I can charge them in the wilderness. And true enough, my sole 10,400mAh battery pack only lasted until the second night despite having only taken abnormally few photos than I ever normally would. Worse, we decided to go back to the city on the third day and book a hotel for a night just so we could all recharge our gadgets.
A single battery pack will only last you a day with continues use of your gadgets. I seriously recommend carrying at least one with you for each day of traveling if you'll have no access to an electric power outlet. Planning on camping for a week, take at least eight power banks with you. No kidding!
The Anker PowerCore 26800mAh Portable Charger boasts of its USB Type-C charging port that capable of fast charging of up to three (3) times the conventional USB types.
Note: The bundle includes a PowerCore 26800, 2X Micro USB Cable, Travel Pouch, and a worry-free 18-month warranty and friendly customer service. However, USB-C to Lightning cable for iPhone / iPad sold separately.
Stay for days camping in the wild and you'll start itching to charge your smartphones. But being in the wild, no electrical power source exists. Which is why a power bank capable of storing solar power is probably going to be your best buddy no matter how many days you plan to stay in the wilderness.
In reference to #1, have extra peace of mind knowing that you can harness the power of the blazing sun to charge your gadgets. Attach a solar powered power bank on your tent (or somewhere you won't accidentally stump them on) and leave them to charge while you embark on a photo craze.
Especially during long-term travels, a traveler can never have enough of them. Enough said.
The FLOUREON 10,000mAh Solar Power Bank with External Battery Charger lets you charge before leaving your home and continue charging under the sun.
It comes with Dual USB 1.0A/2.1A so you can charge two gadgets at the same time.
Packing cubes are the industrial revolution's gift to travelers. Gone are the days when I would need to empty a full rucksack just to find that charging cable I already spent hours searching for. Having several packing cubes to separate my clothes, gadgets, and other paraphernalia inside my rucksack or luggage eliminated these terrible instances. Additionally, I occasionally receive compliments from onlookers for having a decently packed luggage in case I had to open them at the airport.
If you often had to empty your entire luggage or bag just to search for an small, elusive stuff, packing cubes will be great for you. These compressible travel organizers will fit in your bag to separate everything during your travels. They come in different sizes for different use. Your traveler friend, partner, or family will enjoy owning more than several sets they can mix and match for several bags and pieces of luggage.
The Shacke Pak – 5 Set Packing Cubes – Medium/Small – Luggage Packing Travel Organizers keep everything in your bag in proper order. They are made from high-quality water-resistant nylon material with durable YKK zippers and extended zip cords.
Whether lost or not, travelers tend to walk A LOT. They are the perfect casts for Walkers (The Walking Dead) or White Walkers (Game of Thrones). Which is why travelers will benefit greatly from compression socks.
Compression socks are specially made, snug-fitting, and stretchy socks. You wear them like regular socks but they gently compress your legs and allow your blood vessels to work better. This greatly reduces pain and swelling in your legs brought about by long walking.
Sure, your friend already owns a bunch of power banks (including a solar-powered one). Unfortunately, none of it fits to charge a standard DLSR camera and being not able to charge it while having a photo blast in the wilderness will not sound great. It was for me.
So you better have your friend own at least two replacement DSLR batteries.
Now this can be tricky as you can't just buy any DSLR battery available in the market. It must be compatible with your friend's camera.
The solution is to ask your friend (or stalk what DLSR camera your friend is using) and find a compatible battery online.
Here are the common ones.
As earlier mentioned, this list of gift ideas for travelers is inspired by my recent outdoor campings in the mountains but the each of these gift ideas will fit any type of travelers.

Dimitar Rangelov (Bulgarian: Димитър Рангелов; born 9 February 1983) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a forward for German NOFV-Oberliga Süd club VfB Krieschow.

He made his debut for Bulgaria in 2004.

Career

Slavia Sofia
Born in Sofia, Rangelov started playing football in local team Slavia. On 3 June 2000, then 17 years old, he made his official debut in professional football in a match against Beroe Stara Zagora as a 65th-minute substitute. Rangelov played for PFC Slavia Sofia between 2000 and 2006.

Strasbourg
Rangelov was sold to RC Strasbourg for €1 million. In 2007, he was loaned for six months to German side FC Erzgebirge Aue. After that, he was loaned again to Energie Cottbus and quickly developed into an important first team player at his new team.

Energie Cottbus
After a half season on loan, Rangelov signed for FC Energie Cottbus. For Energie Cottbus, he earned 49 appearances playing in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals.

Borussia Dortmund
On 16 June 2009, Rangelov officially signed his contract with Borussia Dortmund. The transfer fee was 1 million €. His contract is for four years. On 20 March 2010, he scored his first goal in the Bundesliga for the Dortmund side in the 3–0 home win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Maccabi Tel Aviv (loan)
On 4 September 2010 Borussia Dortmund loaned him to Maccabi Tel Aviv until the end of the season with purchase option in the end. On 6 November 2010, Rangelov scored his first goal for Maccabi in the match against Hapoel Ashkelon. In April 2011 with the end of regular season (before the playoffs). Rangelov reached a mutual agreement on his release from Maccabi and his return to his original club Dortmund.

Return to Energie Cottbus (loan)
On 28 June 2011, Rangelov re-joined Energie Cottbus where he played between 2007 and 2009, signing a one-year loan deal. Rangelov ended the season in 2. Bundesliga with 12 goals to his name making him Energie's top scorer.

Luzern
On 11 July 2012, Rangelov joined Swiss Super League side FC Luzern on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee, though media reports estimated it to be between €300,000 and £350,000. Four days later, he made his debut in a 1–1 home draw against FC Zürich, playing the full 90 minutes. On 11 August Rangelov netted his first goal, scoring a penalty against St. Gallen. He scored his first-ever European goal on 23 August, opening the scoring in a 2–1 home win over Genk in their Europa League play-offs first leg tie. A week later, in the second leg tie against Genk, Rangelov was sent off  in the 37th minute.

Third Energie Cottbus stint
In October 2018, Rangelov joined Energie Cottbus for the third time in his career having signed a contract until the end of the season. As of 2019, he is the only Bulgarian to have scored at four different levels of the German league system.

Return to Slavia Sofia
After nearly 15 years playing abroad Rangelov returned to his childhood club PFC Slavia Sofia by signing a contract with the club in July 2020.

« Thankfully Rare
Circus Act »
July 20, 2010 by BostonSoul48
I was thinking about which Dice-K we were going to get last night. I was thinking we'd get the mediocre Dice-K. I was hoping we'd get the really good Dice-K. But I'm not sure anyone thought we'd get the outstanding Dice-K.
Which is a shame if you think about the fact that he's actually been good for his last six starts. In his first four starts, he was lucky if his season ERA approached five. In his last six, his season ERA has been under five. Actually, it's been four and change, but with Dice-K you can't afford to be picky, especially since if you look at those six starts alone, his ERA is 2.95. Who knew? He's pitched at least five innings, given up five or less runs, and walked four or less in all six. So perhaps a corner has indeed been turned. It wasn't the dramatic corner-turning we were looking for, as if he'd have a stretch of really bad outings and then suddenly be the next Cy Young, but I think we wouldn't have seen that from any pitcher anyway. I think he's getting the hang of it, slowly but surely.
Which brings us to last night. Last night he rocked. He didn't get rocked. He just rocked. He gave up only one run on only two hits, one of which was a solo shot on an offspeed he failed to locate, in six and two-thirds innings. He walked two. He struck out six. And he did all of it with just eighty-nine pitches. He was fantastic. He held the entire game in his hands. He planned it out perfectly. He controlled each and every one of his pitches; he threw all of them for strikes at least half the time and often as the first pitch of an at-bat. The first pitch of nineteen of his twenty-four total at-bats was a strike. Specifically, his cutter and four-seam seemed unhittable, and he was able to use the latter for strikes on both sides of the plate. He threw eighteen pitches in the seventh, allowing a walk and a double with two outs before he was removed, but he threw as few as nine the inning before, and he tossed four one-two-three innings. His zone was littered with strikes.
Even better, Dice-K knows what's up. He wanted to at least finish the seventh, but knows and understands why he had to be pulled. He knows he's inconsistent, but he wants to become that guy we trust to finish the job. And if you're self-aware, you're halfway there.
The inning after Dice-K gave up the homer, we got the run back and then some. Papi hit a sac fly that allowed Patterson, who was already on third with a triple, to score, and Beltre smashed one deep over the left-center field fence. This was basically revenge for the homer Dice-K gave up. It was a high changeup, an offspeed that missed its mark. Those just don't stay in the park when you ave a guy with power on the receiving end. He finished three for four. His hamstring is clearly still bothering him, but as Tito said, if he hits home runs, it doesn't matter, because all you do after that swing is take a nice leisurely stroll around the bases.
The winning combination of Bard and Paps held the fort and collected a hold and a save, respectively. Bard came in with two runners in scoring position and induced a popout to third and now has an ERA under two. His last twelve appearances are roughly the equivalent of one and a third whole games during which he shut out opponents, struck out twelve, walked two, and gave up five hits. That's better than most teams' starters. Paps was his usual lights-out self. His past seven appearances are roughly the equivalent of a deep quality shutout start.
Honestly, if you told me Dice-K would only need two runs to get a win, I would have believed you, but I would've liked to see it for myself just to know exactly how he did it, which pitches he used, and how efficient and commanding he really was. And trust me, he was. He had that game all sewn up. The Yankees didn't play yesterday and the Rays also won, so there's no noticeable movement in the standings. Yet. Give it time. Tonight Wakefield takes on Braden, which should be an interesting matchup.
And finally, a word on George Steinbrenner. George Steinbrenner passed away before the All-Star Game. Condolences to his loved ones, of course. But I won't lie. I never liked him or his team, and I never will. The reality is that passing away just makes you human, not a saint. The end of your life doesn't change your legacy. No doubt the Jimmy Fund appreciates his gracious donation via our annual Radio Telethon. However, George Steinbrenner's legacy is one of ruthlessness, destruction of loyalty in the game, and an obsession with only winning. So, as I said, condolences to his loved ones. As always, the Big Show must go on.

Enterprise Apps / A Reverse Spin on Supply Chain
A Reverse Spin on Supply Chain

6 Apps That Need AI That You May Not Think About

Taking a cue from the airline and hotel industries, a supermarket chain is testing software to predict demand for products based on price.
Big V Supermarkets is taking a lesson from the hotel and airline industries: Use price to determine demand.
The chain's secret weapon? Demand-based management (DBM) software.
This is the flip side of supply chain management (SCM), in which companies try to quickly replenish items purchased in stores, through electronic communications with suppliers.
With demand management, the company can begin to predict that movement out of its stores—and better achieve profit, sales and other goals. The software takes into account that such tools as "pricing, promotions and shelf management can influence demands," explains Barchi Peleg, director of research for Stanford University's Global Supply Chain Management Forum. "Combining SCM methodologies with DBM instruments can help companies to truly maximize profits, or other objectives of the enterprise."
Despite having filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the privately held Big V is about eight months into its pilot test of DemandTec's Price Center DBM application. The Florida, N.Y.-based 30-store chain has been testing how well it can forecast volume pegged to a particular price of, say, two-liter bottles of Coke.
"You'd get the best price on items—whether that is up or down from the current position—you could achieve your results," says Big V Senior Vice President and CIO Kevin Sterneckert. "You tell it (the system) your intent: to optimize volume or to optimize for profit, and it does so."
If anything, DemandTec's product might be too accurate, Sterneckert jokes. The Price Center program calculated prices for Jell-O so that stores could charge a penny to a nickel more for popular flavors. But the stores overrode that option, preferring—in that case—to price all Jell-O the same, regardless of flavor.
Tools that help companies manage the interplay of price, supply and demand aren't new. Companies in service industries like hotels or airlines—characterized by fixed available capacity (such as number of hotel rooms, or number of seats per flight), have been using them for years, notes Stanford's Peleg. But product-based companies, which typically have significant control of the level of a product available for sale at any point in time, have neglected tools that let them use price to control demand, she says.
But a company-wide rollout at Big V is not imminent. First, Big V must resolve its financial future. Two possible scenarios: a sale of its assets to Wakefern Food Corp. for $150 million, or a purchase outright by onetime suitor Stop & Shop Supermarket Co.

ZNCC urges Govt to prioritise viable companies | The Herald

via ZNCC urges Govt to prioritise viable companies | The Herald October 30, 2013 by Zvamaida Murwira
GOVERNMENT should start by funding viable companies in its quest to resuscitate industry as pouring all resources into distressed companies may not achieve the intended short to medium term results, legislators heard yesterday. Appearing before the Parliamentary portfolio committee on Industry and Commerce, the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce said funding distressed companies would not help kick-start the economy because funds would just be used to finance debts when much more could be realised from funding production.
ZNCC Chairperson on Macro Economic sub sector Mr Brains Muchemwa said one way of dealing with low capacity utilisation in industry was to finance those firms that were still on their feet.
The committee, chaired by Marondera Central MP, Cde Ray Kaukonde (Zanu-PF) had invited captains of industry to seek their input on strategies to improve productivity.
"Our position as ZNCC is that companies that are distressed to some extent are beyond redemption. What is important now is for the Government to focus on companies that are still viable, that are still on their feet. Most of these companies that are distressed, in as much as there might be other factors that might have forced them into distress, you will find that for most of them to some extent, it's an issue of mismanagement, or they accessed a lot of debt in the market and they are failing to repay it," said Mr Muchemwa.
"Creating a fund for distressed industries will not do anything other than allowing these companies just to refinance their existence and remain where they are."
ZNCC, said Mr Muchemwa, was aware that Government did not have fiscal space to raise money but should funds become available, it would be futile to finance struggling firms.
"But should that money miraculously become available, we urge the Government not to look at distressed industries but companies that are functional, with a higher multiplier effect on the economy," he said.
Mr Muchemwa cited Cold Storage Company as an example, saying it was saddled with a US$16 million debt but needed US$3million as working capital meaning that the firm would require US$19 million to retire its debt and fund operations.
Government has in the past set up a Distressed Fund aimed at reviving companies mainly in Bulawayo that went down due largely to the debilitating effect of sanctions.
Mr Muchemwa said labour laws needed to be fine-tuned because they were presently skewed in favour of workers.
In terms of the current labour laws, he said, an aggrieved worker could approach the court and secure an order to attach equipment whose effect would be to prejudice hundreds of workers who depended on it.
Mr Muchemwa said it was easy to hire but would be an uphill task to lay off an employee.
"We have minimum wages that are not linked to productivity," he said.
Other issues he cited as requiring attention were confidence in the market, national debt, property rights, access to funding, interest rates, taxation levels, central bank recapitalisation.
He stressed the need to give title to land holders.
Masvingo Urban MP, Cde Daniel Shumba (Zanu-PF) said there was need to cleanse the central bank as part of measures to create confidence in the market.
Yesterday's event was also attended by ZNCC president Mr Hlanganiso Matangaidze and his deputy Mr Davison Norupiri.

Teaching new recruits using Ringing Room
I won't lie: I was nervous. I'd approached some friends of mine, each of whom had come with me to a bell tower at some point and been intrigued, but both of whom lived in rural Pennsylvania, well outside a reasonable distance to the nearest tower. I'd asked them if they wanted to try learning to ring on this new thing that had just come out: Ringing Room, a virtual bell tower.
Of course, they wouldn't be able to learn bell handling as such, but it was a chance to have fun learning the puzzle-and-game aspect of ringing that so many people actually consider the real draw card of the exercise. Alarmingly, they scavenged together a group of eight and gave me a night of the week that would work for them.
I hadn't come up through Learning the Ropes. I hadn't gone through the ART Training Scheme. However, what I did have was decades of experience in teaching everything from writing, history, and risk management to karate, fencing, and acting. I knew how to tailor my teaching to specific groups, how to make everything I taught directly relevant to specific goals for the learners, and how to construct learning sessions that built confidence as well as skills.
I decided to make each lesson only a half-hour long. That way, nobody would feel that the lessons were a burden, and they'd be able to finish each lesson exhilarated and eager for more, rather than exhausted and overwhelmed. Next, I decided to use a 'flipped classroom' approach, where the learners would spend a few days ahead of the lesson going over the tutorial materials that I had produced myself to bring them through a progression of skills specifically with virtual ringing in mind. During the lesson, they would apply those skills by actually ringing.
Because these learners were highly motivated adults (mostly because lockdown was making them antsy and they were desperate for novelty), I knew I could trust them to go over the materials in advance.
The four-week module had a number of overall learning outcomes that guided my choices in designing each lesson. These were explicitly stated using 'action verbs': the objective was to elicit behaviours that would demonstrate the learners' competence. If I couldn't see and hear them ringing competently, I would know I had more work to do. There was no point having, "Learners will understand this and that", as a learning outcome. What does 'understand' look like? What does it sound like? How can you tell from the outside whether someone understands? Instead, I thought long and hard about what I wanted to be able to see the learners doing.
Each week's materials had several learning activities that supported these outcomes.
Learners encountered bellringing history, engineering, culture, and theory through the inclusion of links to videos, articles, and other resources. This supported the learning outcomes by helping them visualize what they were doing in Ringing Room in terms of what a physical bell and rope would be doing, and give them a chance to see and hear people using bellringing vocabulary, and thus to understand it better.
Moreover, it would support their engagement with the material by helping them feel that they were welcome members of the ringing community, giving them a context for understanding ringing's appeal and its historical place in society.
Learners began assimilating the vocabulary of ringing based on a list of thoroughly explained terms and concepts relative to the learning material for that week; this, too, was to help them feel like a part of the community, but also to start thinking about ringing in a more technical way and to be prepared for the ringing terms I would be using with them that week.
The actual practice of ringing included one or two fundamental concepts that they would learn by doing, based on the concepts that they had read about during the week: rounds and basic vocabulary in the first lesson; dodging and making places in the second; counting places in the third; and, gloriously, plain hunt in the fourth.
Each week's lesson provided a scaffold for the next, leading ultimately to the ability to plain hunt. In four weeks they didn't necessarily commit everything to memory, but they had the skills they needed to progress: they could move up, move down, or stay in the same place; they could read a blue line; and they could count their places. I made sure they knew that they weren't just learning these skills to have something to do, but to give them authentic, practical competence that they would be using continually for as long as they wanted to ring and no matter how far they advanced.
Moreover, the learners got to know the traditions and rituals that would have become familiar to them had they been able to ring in a real tower: how to treble and cover, what "go next" and "that's all" mean, when to stand, what to do when you make a mistake, and (of course) the all-important art of banter and tower chat (often taking the form of lengthy and digression-filled discussions based on the questions they asked me about the material – just like in a real tower!). I thought of them as real ringers, and that's how they learned to think of themselves.
Of course, things didn't always go smoothly. Technical issues from the small ("I don't own any headphones") to the large ("My screen's just gone blank", "I suddenly can't hear anything") plagued the first two lessons in particular, as everyone (including me; Ringing Room was still very much under development at the time) got more familiar with the technology.
Occasionally someone wouldn't quite get a concept, and the ringing would fall in a heap as the whole band, beginners all, tried and failed to figure out where they were supposed to be. I usually let this happen, because the struggle itself expanded their awareness of other bells and the overall pattern they were ringing and helped them build problem-solving skills, moving them beyond a mere slavish and myopic following of the blue line.
When things ground to a halt, I modelled cheerful (albeit rueful) acceptance of the collapse and an utter refusal to blame anyone, and we reset and started again. One of the stunning advantages of Ringing Room was that this was the work of a moment, and nobody was in danger from a flailing rope or a broken stay.
Over the course of the four weeks, the learners began to set up their own practice sessions, completely on their own initiative (and, in fact, are still ringing on their own together). And – to my deep gratification – six of the original eight asked if they could keep going for another four weeks (we spent the time on an in-depth study of Grandsire Doubles, ensuring that everyone got a chance to ring each bell in a plain course before we were done).
I would strongly encourage any ringing teacher who has either learners who had just signed on when lockdown hit or proto-learners who have never laid hand to rope to start taking advantage of Ringing Room as soon as possible as a teaching forum. In fact, Ringing Room has been invaluable during lockdown as a teaching tool at all levels.
I'm confident that it will continue to be an excellent way to bring new learners up to speed on the concepts they'll encounter in the tower in due course. After all, why should they have to learn bell handling and theory while frantically trying to avoid carnage and humiliation as they attempt to manage everything at once?
The lesson plans I used for my first group of virtual-only ringers are available from the Files section of the Ringing Room Take-Hold Lounge on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ groups/873214286480660/files/), or by emailing me at info@lauraegoodin.com. (Note: they are a moving target, and I intend to keep revising them as I teach more groups of learners, so if there's anything you disagree with or have questions about, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.)
By the way, the other day one of that first group of learners asked me whether I'd be willing to keep going with a third module. (Reader, I said yes.)
Learning Outcomes for Introduction to Virtual Change Ringing
By the end of the module, learner will be able to:
Ring rounds, dodge, and ring the Mexican wave with regular striking and few to no errors.
Ring Plain Hunt reading from the blue line.
Use standard ringing vocabulary when trebling and discussing the learning materials.

As music from the Los Angeles area thrives and swells across the globe, one of its most beloved and deeply rooted members steps out with an LP full of infectious melodies, subtle hip-hop and a kaleidoscope of sound. Music for the imagination.
Ardour is the debut album by long time running My Hollow Drum, Dublab, and recent Brainfeeder artist, Teebs. Born in New York to Malawi and Barbados origins, Mtendere (pronounced "ten-de-ra") (Chichewa for 'Peace') Mandowa, is a 23 year-old producer who bounced around the East Coast before finally planting his feet in the Southern California suburb of Chino Hills.
A city known for its rolling hills and FBI ranking as one of the safest in the United States, Teebs developed his artistry right outside Los Angeles' county line and just south of the Orange County beach community. Music may have come by accident, literally; a skateboard injury sidelined Teebs, which led to a concentration on art.
Through great focus and vision, Teebs made a name for himself as a skilled painter. His artwork, found on canvases of all forms from walls to record covers, becomes imbued with vibrant color, energy, and shape.
From paint and brush, Teebs slowly found himself in the world of music making.
Early in his musical pursuits, Teebs joined a group of like-minded friends and producers who went by the name 'My Hollow Drum'. Within this crew, he was able to build new ideas, share works and perfect his production craft. Intrigued with what was going on in Los Angeles' evolving electronic scene, he never expected to fall directly into it.
He began interning for the acclaimed online radio stream, Dublab. This sparked his self-expression, spirit and growth as an artist, being around music, art and a creative atmosphere while brushing shoulders with the artists he admired from the area.
Teebs was accepted into the Red Bull Music Academy for their 2008 edition in Barcelona, Spain. Upon arrival back home, Teebs became even more focused on his music and art, whilst a chance meeting with Flying Lotus led to his involvement and joining of the newly founded Brainfeeder collective. Having previously heard from local producers and DJs about this new up and comer, Lotus didn't hesitate to take Teebs under his wing after hearing some of his earliest beats. Ardour began to bloom.
Ardour was made during two major periods of his life. Having just lost his job and with little to no money, Teebs moved into the same apartment complex as Flying Lotus and shared living quarters with another Brainfeeder affiliate, Samiyam. It was here that the beginning stages and one-half of Ardour were created. Before Teebs was aware his album was showing itself, his father who had been terminally ill, passed away.
Back home, Teebs finished were he left off.
Ardour, two years in the making, is the result of Teebs' journey thus far. More than the music, it's the feeling he wants to convey. The idea of hearing something you really love, the moment you know something is really special. Flying Lotus said, "Teebs' music sounds like an island vacation...The way Avatar looks." What's often said about Teebs' sound is the warmth it has on the listener. It's only fitting that a title like Ardour, which is defined as 'great intensity and warmth' is used to represent this essential chapter to the ever-growing puzzle of Los Angeles.
