eFOLDi Launches Kickstarter Campaign at Gadget Show Live Hall 3, Stand BIP 8
Thursday 31 March 2016 PDF Print
Because it can be easily folded up, used as a seat or put into scooter mode, eFOLDi is extremely versatile
Sumi Wang, a finalist of the British Inventor's Project, launched a Kickstarter campaign today at The Gadget Show Live with the help of the show's presenter, Jason Bradbury.
The campaign will raise investment for the creation of an electric scooter, called eFOLDi, that can be folded into a piece of luggage.
The goal is to raise £90,000, with which Sumi can get the first production run of eFOLDi under way. There is a range of different pledge values and rewards available, from £1 to £4,799, with eFOLDi itself starting at £699.
eFOLDi was chosen to take part in the British Inventors' Project, and is exhibiting at the British Inventors' Project Area, in Hall 3, Stand BIP 8.
The mobility device, which was designed in tandem by Sumi and her father - renowned Chinese engineer Jianmin Wang - will be launched globally later this year following the Kickstarter campaign. Jianmin Wang won the gold medal at the Beijing Invention Competition in 2015, an honour that was awarded by Chinese Vice-President Liu Yandong and Mayor of Beijing Guo Jinlong.
Jianmin Wang worked as Chief Engineer for China's National Acrobatic Troupe for over 20 years, where he was responsible for devising the mechanisms behind many of the incredible stunts that have won the troupe international acclaim. His designs for performance and stage props have won numerous international circus competitions and awards.
In 2012, Jianmin Wang broke his leg and was unable to get around. This paved the way for the creation of eFOLDi, as Managing Director Sumi Wang explains:
"An inventor's mind is always at work and when my father Jianmin broke his leg, he decided to design his own method of transport to get around.
"While there are a lot of electric scooters available, Jianmin realised that there were no effective folding scooters that could be easily packed away to take on public transport while also proving secure over rough ground.
"After some time in the workshop, the result is a scooter that weighs only 19kg, can carry an average-sized adult over 20km on a single charge and can be folded into an easily-transported piece of luggage. eFOLDi can be programmed with three different top speeds for different needs: 4mph if it is being used as an off road mobility aid, 8mph for mobility use on the road and 12.5mph for recreational use by normal road users.
"We're extremely proud of eFOLDi and are thrilled that Gadget Show Live have chosen us to take part in the British Inventors' Project."
Because it can be easily folded up, used as a seat or put into scooter mode, eFOLDi is extremely versatile and appeals to a wide range of consumers: commuters, those with limited mobility, festival goers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Sumi Wang, who lives in Redhill, Surrey, recently won the grand prize of £5,000 at Surrey Entrepreneur Academy 2015, an event organised by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council in partnership with East Surrey College. The money was awarded to allow Sumi to gain an international patent for eFOLDi.

Why have we lost the tradition of May Day? Nothing like a phallic celebration of spring to kick the season off right.
I love the restlessness of this time of year, the plants and animals waking up and stretching out, blooming and romping and hoping to be fruitful.
I advocate a return to seasonal celebrations, especially ones that can be celebrated with feasting, drinking, and f...fruitfulness. Let's take it back!
Go to work barefoot with ribbons in your hair and hit on the boss. If you get fired, run happily out the door, laughing and flinging flower petals behind you.


In social species such as humans, social stimuli and interactions typically constitute an important set of reward signals. This premise may not hold true for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), based on the observation that individuals with ASD often do not find social stimuli and interactions to be rewarding. This account suggests that social behavioural difficulties in ASD are driven by a deficit in reward processing from social stimuli.
smile automatically when we see others smile at us. Individuals with ASD commonly show reduced spontaneous facial mimicry. These two processes of mimicry and reward are intricately linked from early on in human evelopment. Mothers commonly mimic their children, and the children mimic back. This cycle of reciprocal imicry helps build social bonds, in children as well as in adults. As adults, we tend to prefer individuals who mimic us more, and, mimic those who we prefer more.
We study these links between reward and mimicry using a range of techniques that measure physiological response (using facial EMG),brain activity (using fMRI and EEG), eye movements (using eye-tracking), and overt behaviour (Sims et al., 2012; Haffey et al., 2013; Sims et al., 2014; Neufeld et al., 2015; Trilla Gros et al., 2015; Panasiti et al., 2015; Neufeld et al., 2016; Hsu, Neufeld, et al., 2017; Hsu, Sims, et al., 2017).
neural systems involved in reward processing and those underlying mimicry.


The journey of faith is the most important journey of our lives. On any journey, milestones motivate and rejuvenate us. Southwood partners with families through Faith Stepping Stones classes with practical, hands-on activities for children as they grow and develop both physically and spiritually. Each class targets a specific age group with developmentally-appropriate content to aide parents as the primary mentor of their child's faith. Parents learn alongside their children (childcare is provided for siblings).
These classes are typically offered during the summer months when Sunday School is not in session.

About Heritage House
Founded April 1966, Heritage House is a provider of short and long-term healthcare, therapy and rehabilitation services.
Over 40 years ago, Bob Reed began his search for the perfect retirement home for his 96-year-old grandmother, Rilla Ward. He wanted to find a safe and modern place with great food, caring employees, and plenty to do. When he realized he couldn't find these necessary qualities in any local home, he knew the only way to guarantee the best for his beloved grandmother was to build one himself.
On May 2, 1966, Bob Reed completed Heritage House, a modern rehabilitation and care center in Shelbyville, Indiana. Grandma Ward was its first resident.
Today, each of the four Heritage House locations still provides a warm, close-knit atmosphere for its residents. Our signature family feel is owed to five generations of Reed family involvement and a seasoned staff. Treating our residents like family is one way we keep Bob's vision alive during all of our day-to-day procedures.

So, think these two look familiar? Well, you'd be spot on… It wasn't that long ago that we posted the first part of Bao and Zen's incredible day with us as we explored a huge field of lupins in the warmth of a summer sun before wandering in the shade down by the shore of Lake Tekapo. On the day, this was where we slowed down for lunch and a bit of a road trip to Mount Cook National Park to continue our adventure, so we figured we would split the blog in much the same way as there were way too many stunning moments for just one post. So here we are; Part Two of this fairytale story. There is a wedding dress, gorgeous flowers, their smiles, some beautiful words that they exchanged and then some tears – A Mount Cook Elopement.
what an awesome day and what wonderful company!
Scroll on down to watch these two exchange vows and basically just steal the majesty of the Southern Alps with their love.


Clarissa Shetler is a board-certified family pharmacist and has been in practice for more than 20 years. She has spent the last five years studying the emerging research surrounding the health risks of everyday chemicals used in skin care cosmetics and the alternative sources and benefits of nontoxic, advanced plant botanicals to formulate safer, powerful skin care for you. She feels that both an outside and inside approach to health including quality nutrition, exercise, mindfulness along with clean, nourishing skin care reduces the cumulative toxic burden to the body is a critical component to disease prevention and health promotion.
Christine Falsetti has always been passionate about life, family, and friends. After experiencing cancer in her family, she began to take a closer look at the toxins in her environment and was horrified by the potentially harmful ingredients she found in her daily life, particularly in her family skin care products. She began looking for safer skin care options only to be disappointed by their performance and frustrated by misleading marketing. Christine believes women and their families deserve quality products that perform, without comprising their health.
We are both female scientists and have a strong background in chemistry. Clarissa is a Doctor of pharmaceuticals/chemistry and Christine was a NASA scientist and engineer. Our backgrounds were synergistic when we were evaluating various skincare solutions. We are determined to develop effective, clean and non-toxic products and to educate people on what to look for in the products they use every day. We also have business/marketing backgrounds and have a marketing consulting firm called KodaCon, Inc.
We both have personal stories that helped drive our passion to find a good skincare solution. Christine's son was sadly touched by cancer and passed away at an early age. Clarissa has a childhood skin condition called ichthyosis (fish scale skin) in which dermatologists only had a recommendation of Crisco lard. One day during a hike, we started talking about our skincare choices and what was out there. Due to our own personal experiences, we had already peeked inside other brands and saw the dark side of the ingredients in many products. On that hiking day, we decided that we could do something better -- something clean.
We researched skincare for 4 years before the launch of C2 California Clean. It was important that we understood the landscape of the beauty/skincare business. We tested numerous products and took an investigative look at the ingredients in the products. Soon, we were contacting the scientists and labs of the ingredients that we liked and started to collaborate with them. The ingredients are the foundation for all products and most companies haven't evaluated their own formulations for decades (since 1905s). At the same time, we contacted the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a non-profit dedicated to informing consumers of safe products. We had products evaluated through their verified program and started to work with them. EWG has an app called Skin Deep that evaluates the safety of the ingredient profile and gives a rating for products.
Talking to people and networking has been the most effective way to evangelize C2. People want to hear authentic voices who are passionate about what they are doing. At C2, we want to truly change lives and help people live a cleaner and healthier life. We know "going clean" doesn't happen overnight, and we are letting people know it's okay to take baby steps. The first step is to reach out and ask questions. That is why our door is always open to talk with people – via email, phone, text, or social media.
1. Developing awareness: We know that we can't talk or educate everyone, so we need to build up affiliates and brand advocates to promote C2. We also feel that getting into distribution will help to promote our brand. We are launching an affiliate program in 2018 and also working with domestic and international distributors.
2. Finding the right message that resonates with our audience: We are nerdy scientists and we have to remember that not everyone wants to know all the details, so we had to test out various messages to engage our target market. Our messaging is always evolving and the more we talk and listen to people the more we learn.
3. Understanding the best way to market: Marketing is changing as we speak. Social Media, Videos, Texting, and Email have helped with brand awareness but getting sales conversion is a bit more tricky. We are constantly testing various marketing strategies to build sales.
4. Building sales: Of course, getting sales is the most important part of going into business and we feel that talking to people and making connections has helped our sales tremendously. There is so much information out there and as a founder, people want to hear from you and why you started the brand. Talking to people will allow you to find out the big issues at hand and which products can help them.
There is nothing better than getting feedback about your product and how it helped someone. Those comments tell us that we are on the right track and what we are doing is really changing lives and helping people. Also, negative feedback is important because you can hear how you can improve and change the future customer experience. Checklists and being transparent with our team has helped us move forward together as a unit.
There are oodles of products in the skincare world and we have learned that many people get overwhelmed by all the choices. We also want our customers to feed their skin with amazing ingredients – not junk food for the skin!
C2 is a brand that wants to simplify your life by giving you a skincare regimen that is easy-to-follow and offers you the best ingredients to nourish your skin. We also have a product line that addresses wellness for the whole body and is safe to use on the entire family.
Our most effective marketing strategy is "getting involved." We are participating in events, seminars and most importantly talking to our customers one-on-one. Start with your friends and family. People want to hear from the founders and understand why you started the brand. And being nerdy scientists actually worked in our favor, because people knew we understood the how the products worked and why. We are starting to promote C2 solutions by science, discovery and the genuine concern for our audience. We really listen to our customers and take their input to heart.
We also are promoting our brand internationally and working with the US Trade and Commerce Department. The advice and information are free and you are assigned to a representative who can help with matchmaking and global resources.
The best advice is to start to knock on doors. Send out emails to other founders, ask questions and attend shows and events. Meeting other founders is the best way to get first-hand input on what is working and what isn't. We collaborate with other non-competitive wellness companies and share information.
Clarissa: EWG Skin Deep is an awesome app and I use it all the time when I am shopping. It's so useful in the stores and I get the instant answer. My second choice is the texting app.
Christine: Number 1 is Text Messaging –fast, easy and fun way to stay in touch with everyone and Number 2 is IMDB- It is the best source for movie, tv and celebrity info. I often check it when we are watching a show to confirm who an actor is or to find out who someone is and why they are familiar.
Business Tool: Google drive has really evolved and has become an important tool for our team. We will also start to use it to save all our docs and assets.
Resource 1: EWG has been an amazing resource for information and data on product safety.
Resource 2: US Trade and Commerce has been a wonderful resource for global exportation.
Clarissa: Charles F. Feeney. An entrepreneur, husband and father -- who truly has a giving heart. He worked hard his whole life and then in his golden years he gives away the last billions of his fortune to charity. He is considered the James Bond of philanthropy.
Christine: Oprah Winfrey. Her story is the iconic American dream of climbing the ladder of success from abject poverty to one of the most successful and respected business people in our country. For me though the really inspiring thing about Oprah is what she does with her time and money. She is a generous philanthropist and a crusader for human rights. Oprah has used her celebrity to better the lives of millions.
We are working to get our products into select stores and spas, and we are working on some new products based on customer feedback and pain points.
We love hearing from anyone who is interested in making the leap to a healthier lifestyle. They can contact us at: hello@c2caliclean.com or 800-317-2029 to ask questions, get information or just chat!! We are also aligned with other wellness companies who share our same vision, such as, Kavella Hair products (Founder: Ashely Feinberg) and Freedom Deodorant (Founder: Ira Green).

By 8:15 I am dressed in my new African outfit, have my hair braided, and my backpack packed. Jonathan and Fredrick pull up on a motorcycle. After brief Sabbath greetings, all three of us pile on and zip away through the village. During these Sabbath morning rides my heart is very happy. I sing as we bounce along, wave to children, and just take in the beauty of huts guarded by towering palm trees. At Bendalay* we all pile into the LandRover and head for Dobgay. Seeing a boy who has fallen from a mango tree, we stop to help. Melody and I assess him and decide it's just a sprained or dislocated knee--nothing life threatening.
Once at Dobgay we gather under the mango tree. There are about 6 benches set up with a small, knee-high table in front that serves as a pulpit. There are songs, children stories and a sermon. Afterwards, the Bendalay missionaries and I gather for a Bible Study about prayer. We enjoy a wonderful lunch. They kindly provide me transportation back to the hospital compound, saving me a 45-minute walk.
It's been two weeks since our premier Sunshine Band and I am determined to keep it going, even though no one chooses to join me. Jaime Parker kindly loans me a guitar and I take off for the hospital. Starting in Pediatrics, I sing a lot of the same songs as last time. They smile and laugh. After "If You're Happy and You Know It," a lady asks excitedly, "What does it mean? What does it mean?" I give her the best translation I can and she smiles with satisfaction. After that I try to give a three or four word explanation in French for each song I sing. Even if they can't understand, I'm just happy to bring them some music. In each ward I always sing "God Is So Good" in English, French, and Nangere, hoping they will understand at least this one song.
I had just finished my singing rounds and was headed back to the Parker house when I noticed activity in Urgence[the ER]. Apparently there had been a car accident with 5 people injured. Olen** was already there assessing the patients. With the guitar still slung over my shoulder and still dressed in my Sabbath best, I stood back to observe. Turning to me he asked abruptly, "Want to do some suturing?" Would I!?! Always on the lookout for learning opportunities, this seemed too good to pass up. "Sure!" I answered, and headed for the Block [the surgery suite]with Olen. I laid the guitar on a hospital gurney and put on a surgical gown to protect my clothes. The patient's shoulder was badly dislocated, his ear was almost torn off, and he had gapping wounds on his arm.
"You ready?" Olen handed me the needle driver and gestured toward the floppy ear. With a fair share of jitters, I commenced the tricky process of trying to suture in the small space behind the ear. After 4 pain-staking stitches I gratefully hand it over to Olen to finish. I restrain the now-combative patient while Olen sutures the anterior arm wound. At this point he takes a look at the posterior wound and groans. It's messy, with missing skin, ragged edges and muscle poking out. "Is it possible to suture that?" I ask. "Oh sure," is his confident reply, but he continues to stand there looking at it and making faces.
About this time a nurse comes to tell him there is a patient with a busted eyebrow in Urgence.
"Yeah, I think I'll go take care of that . . . and Heather will suture this one."
My eye brows shot up and I managed an incredulous "Are You Serious?!" But he was already halfway out the door. He called back "You know how," a reassurance which sounded hollow to me. I starred at the gaping wound for a moment, picked up the needle driver and breathed an audible prayer.
"Dear God guide my hands."
Trying to remember all the pointers Olen had given me and the techniques I learned a year ago on an electrician-taped-lemon, I started in on the intimidating task. The wound was wide and I had to loop it three times to even make it stick. It was slow, hard, pain-staking work for my inexperienced hands. I was pouring sweat. In the end the arm was stitched and I was very, very happy.
That evening I walk home in the dark. Just as I get to my compound a kid jumps out of the foliage and gives me quite a start. Suddenly children appear from everywhere, shrieking in laughter at my fright. I smile and playfully scold them. This is the second time this has happened. I pretend my heart is beating wildly and say jokingly that next time they might scare me to death. They all crowd around to shake my hand and I wish them a good night. After giving my African mother a dramatic and laughter-filled report of my day, I retire to my mosquito tent.
Thank you, Lord, for another Sabbath.
*Heather is working as a nurse at Bere Adventist Hospital. Bendalay, about two miles away, is the African headquarters of Adventist Medical Aviation, directed by Gary and Wendy Roberts.
**Olen & Danae, a husband/wife doctor team, are the new co-medical directors of Bere Adventist Hospital. Olen's specialty is ER; Danae's specialty is OB/GYN.
What an exciting day! Your mom told me about your experience when she came home to Greeneville :) I'm praying for you!

Sam Rainsy speaking to journalist during the press conference at SRP head office in 2009.
Embattled opposition leader Sam Rainsy's position in the National Assembly has been terminated following a string of losses in his long-running legal saga.
In a proclamation dated Tuesday, National Assembly President Heng Samrin said Sam Rainsy's criminal convictions had rendered him ineligible to serve as a lawmaker based on the Kingdom's Law on the Status of Parliamentarians.
"His Excellency Sam Rainsy has completely lost his rights, prerogatives and membership as a parliamentarian of Kampong Cham provincial constituency in the fourth legislative mandate," the proclamation states.
Sam Rainsy, president of the eponymous party, has lived in exile since 2009 to avoid prosecution in connection with a protest he staged in October that year in Svay Rieng province against alleged Vietnamese land encroachment.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court upheld his convictions for incitement and destruction of public property, for which he has been sentenced to two years in prison.
He was sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison in September for disinformation and falsifying public documents in connection with evidence he publicised from abroad to vindicate his border claims.
Speaking by phone from France, Sam Rainsy said he was untroubled by the proclamation and was confident he had the support of legal experts and the international community.
"This shows that power in Cambodia is becoming more and more absolute and more and more illegal," he said.
Despite this grim assessment, however, the opposition leader said he would continue to lead the SRP and predicted that he would be able to return to the Kingdom for the upcoming national elections in 2012 and 2013 via a compromise with the ruling Cambodian People's Party.
"We are not panicking," he said, adding that the continued attempts to silence him "show the weakness of the CPP".
"They are afraid of Sam Rainsy," he said.
In a statement issued today, Cambodian Centre for Human Rights president Ou Virak said Sam Rainsy's case "shows how the judiciary and legislature serve the political objectives of the executive".
"The National Assembly lifted Sam Rainsy's parliamentary immunity in apparent disregard for the constitutional guarantee that immunity will not be removed for opinions expressed in the exercise of one's duties as a parliamentarian," Ou Virak said.
In a speech earlier this year, Prime Minister Hun Sen announced his intention to "make the opposition group die".

Q: Implementing MVC pattern with Django Rest Framework I was wondering how could I implement a MVC pattern on a Django Api project, when I start a django project it gives me the apps.py, admin.py, models.py and the views.py , I understand the the models, should be the "M",  and  the views the "V", but as i'm using the project like an api, the view would be an Angular or React App, so where I put the logical ? Where is the right place to put the "C" controller on a django rest framework project, is it on views.py ?

A: You need to understand that web service (which you are going to implement with Django) and your client app (which you are going to implement with Angular) are totally different apps and they should not depend on each other. These apps will have their own Models, Views and Controllers.
If we are talking about some business logic that you need to store somewhere on a backend then you can use an approach where you will have an additional level (usually, people call it services.py) and you will import code from this layer to views.py and only call it there cause your views should stay clean and simple as much as possible.
In an ideal case, especially, at the start, I guess, you will not have some tricky logic and mostly your API will look like simple CRUD, so for that case, you even don't need to store additional logic somewhere you just can use rest framework ViewSets as is and store some little snippets in utils.py.
The bottom line is - you don't understand fundamentals that's why you asked the wrong question. And you don't need it right now. Just go and write your app and read the docs about frameworks that you are using, eventually, you will understand this topic.

Overbought Gold Retraces Back – Is It Worth Buying?
Ali B.
During Wednesday's Asian trading session, the yellow metal prices extended their bullish overnight rally and remained well bids around above the $1,850 level. Let me remind you that the bullion prices surged more than $20 an ounce for their biggest one-day gain in a week. However, the bullish sentiment around the gold prices was being supported by the weaker U.S. dollar as the price of gold is inversely related to the price of the U.S. dollar.
The losses in the U.S. dollar was mainly tied to the progress toward a massive U.S. government spending bill and COVID-19 relief measures, which undermined demand for the safest assets such as the U.S. dollar. In the meantime, the optimism over the potential vaccine for the highly contagious coronavirus disease is also favouring the market trading sentiment, which also weakening demand for the safe-haven assets. Across the ocean, the intensifying US-China tussle and on-going Brexit uncertainty keep challenging the market's upbeat mood and provides an additional boost to the safe-haven metal prices.
Apart from this, the growing market concerns about the continuous surge in new coronavirus cases and the imposition of new restrictions also favouring the yellow-metal bulls. At this time, the yellow metal prices are currently trading at 1,857.76 and consolidating in the range between 1,850.94 – 1,858.37.
Despite the intensified Sino-US tussle, Brexit uncertainty, and worries over the coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, the market trading sentiment keeps its previous-session positive performance and remained well-supportive by the combination of factors. However, the reason could be associated with the latest reports suggesting that the lawmakers stepped again to try and get Covid-19 relief through Congress after several failed attempts.
As per the latest report, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, hosted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, as well as Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, gathered to end the long-standing deadlock on the coronavirus relief package at the 7:30 p.m. E.T. (0030 GMT). Wherein, McConnell said that lawmakers would not leave the rooms without a fiscal stimulus deal, which could be attached to the government funding bill.
Apart from this, the reason for the gains in equity markets could be attributed to the optimism over the rollout of vaccines for the highly contagious disease. This, in turn, was seen as one of the key factors that exerted selling pressure on the yellow metal prices. It should be noted that the Moderna is set for getting approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Chatters that the FDA approved first fully at-home virus test also favoured the market trading sentiment.
At the USD front, the broad-based U.S. dollar dropped to near two 1/2-year lows as progress toward the massive U.S. government spending bill, and COVID-19 relief measures undermined demand for the safest assets. The U.S. dollar will likely face further losses as the fiscal stimulus has a more substantial trickle-down effect than monetary policy, which usually lifts inflation expectations. Conversely, if the lawmakers fail again to reach an agreement, investors could turn risk-averse, which will be seen as bullish for the USD currency. Moreover, the losses in the U.S. dollar could also be associated with lingering doubts over the U.S. economic recovery from COVID-19. However, the losses in the U.S. dollar kept the gold prices higher as the price of gold is inversely related to the price of the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a bucket of currencies, was last at 90.477, after falling as low as 90.419 on Monday.
In contrast to this, the fears of rising COVID-19 cases in the U.S., Europe, and some of the notable Asian nations continually fueling the fears of renewed lockdowns in several countries. In the meantime, the U.S. new travel restriction over the Chinese Communist Party members and their families and a ban on Xinjiang cotton imports keep challenging the market risk-on mood. The tension between Sino-US further escalated after MSCI showed readiness for delisting 10 Chinese companies from its global investable markets indexes. These negative factors keep challenging the market risk-on tone and become the key factor that helps the gold prices to stay bid.
Daily Support and Resistance
S1 1807.17
Pivot Point 1848.13
R1 1861.27
Gold prices traded bullish at 1,860 level, supported over 1,848. It's the same level that worked as resistance in the past, and now it's working as a support for gold. On the lower side, the precious metal gold is likely to bounce off over 1,848 level as the 50 EMA is also expected to extend support here. For now, the MACD histograms are smaller but staying in buying zone. Let's consider taking buying position over 1,848 level today with a stop below 1,845 level. Good luck!

Therefore, elevated ROS levels are increasingly accepted as a valuable therapeutic target in anticancer drug discovery [14, 15]. this context. We found that hederagenin effectively induced apoptosis in cisplatin-resistant HNC cells and by targeting the Nrf2-ARE antioxidant pathway. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Cell Lines We evaluated HNC cell lines (AMC-HN2C10), previously established at our institute, as well as SNU-1041, SNU-1066, and SNU-1076 cell lines (Korea Cell Line Lender, Seoul, Republic of Korea). All of the cell lines were authenticated using short tandem repeat-based DNA fingerprinting and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The cells were cultured ACT-335827 in Eagle's minimum essential medium or Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cells were maintained at 37C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Normal human oral keratinocytes and normal human fibroblasts (HOF) obtained from patients undergoing oral medical procedures were used for cell viability assays. The cisplatin-resistant HNC cell lines (HN3-cisR, HN4-cisR, and HN9-cisR) were generated by prolonged exposure of the cisplatin-sensitive parental cell lines (HN3, HN4, and HN9 cells, resp.) to increase concentrations of cisplatin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of cisplatin, as decided using cell viability assays, was 2.2C3.5?(Nrf2) expression, cisplatin-resistant HN4-cisR cells were seeded and transfected 24? h later with 10?nmol/L small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting human or or with a scrambled control siRNA (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA, USA). siRNA-induced gene silencing was confirmed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis of 1-2?overexpression was confirmed using RT-qPCR and Western blotting. 2.5. ACT-335827 Western Blot Assays The cells were plated, grown to 70% confluence, and subsequently treated with the indicated reagents. The cells were lysed at 4C in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (Thermo ACT-335827 Fisher Scientific). A total of 50?test or Csta analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc test. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Statistical significance was defined as a two-sided value <0.05. 3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Hederagenin Induces Apoptosis in Cisplatin-Sensitive and Cisplatin-Resistant HNC Cells The molecular weight of hederagenin is usually 472.7?g/mol (Physique 1(a)).

We Chat With Cat Rapper EL-P About "Meow the Jewels," a Crowd-Sourced Prank
By Phillip Mlynar
, February 17, 2016
Editor's note: This story originally appeared in the Holiday 2015 issue of Catster print magazine. Click here to subscribe to Catster magazine.
It's a crisp fall evening, and I'm talking to EL-P, the musical alias of the Brooklyn-based hip-hop artist Jaime Meline, about making songs from an audio library of Lil BUB's purrs and meows. It's a conversation that might have sounded bizarre even a couple of years ago, but these days the record in question, Meow The Jewels, has become not only the world's first cat-rap album but also an iconic sign of the times. Here's how it happened.
The back story to Meow The Jewels is a testament to the Internet's collective cat power and sense of shared humor. In 2014, Meline and his recording partner Michael Render (aka Killer Mike) were readying the release of their second album together, Run The Jewels 2. As a last-minute joke, they listed a number of fanciful pre-order packages for the project: For $25,000, the Show And Tell option promised they'd turn up to the school of the fan's child, read a story, and provide 24-hour bully protection; the $350,000 Self-Righteousness For Sale edition would see them spending six months "pretending to care about whatever you care about." Then there was the Meow The Jewels package for $40,000, which claimed they would "re-record Run The Jewels 2 using nothing but cat sounds for music."

A feline-friendly fan tested Meline and Render's mettle and launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the money via collective donations. (Profits would go to charitable causes.) You guessed it: After news of the ruse spread through social media channels, Meow The Jewels sailed past its original goal and hit more than $65,000 in pledged money.
At that point, Meline — whose music usually takes an acerbic and uncompromising tone — was faced with the very real situation that he was obliged to craft a record made up of sampled cat sounds. After initially cursing himself out for not stopping the joke in its infancy, he came to a point of acceptance about this "unexpected mechanism to give back to people and do something for charity." With a trademark sarcastic lilt he added, "If the people like this idea and want to make something happen for that reason, as well as just to watch us suffer while we try and create a cat record, then it will be worth our time."
Something about the challenge of remaking a critically acclaimed and artistically obstinate record via the slapstick medium of cat sounds resonated with the Internet's collective consciousness. Fans began creating feline-themed artwork homages to the project; other musicians got in on the enterprise, including the British trip-hop troupes Portishead and Massive Attack, the melodramatic singer-songwriter Zola Jesus, and a producer named Boots who contributed songs to Beyonce's self-titled 2013 album.
A key ally emerged from the cat world when Lil BUB's owner, Mike Bridavsky, reached out and requested that Lil BUB be a part of the project. (Her cherubic yelps appear on the opening song, a reworking of Jeopardy that's now titled "Meowpurrdy.") Read our interview with Cyriak, who created the video below.
Meline said the various musicians took a studious but humorous approach to working with cat sounds. (The definition of "cat sounds" was broad, so a kitty's bell ringing would be a valid inclusion.)
"That was one of the cool things about the project," he explained, "that you had all these really amazing producers being forced to be really terrible producers! Basically being forced back to square one, it was the great leveler — no one is particularly great at producing a record with cat sounds."
EL-P, aka Jaime Meline (left), and his recording partner Killer Mike (Michael Render).
Out of this uncharted cat sounds territory, a listenable and iconic record emerged. Some songs, such as the Alchemist's "Creow," take a playful approach, with a sweet series of cascading meows resonating like a children's TV theme tune. Others, like Geoff Barrow from Portishead's "Close Your Eyes and Meow To Fluff," furrow a minimal and avant-garde approach, with the song anchored by deep, rolling, elongated purrs instead of a traditional bass-line.
Crucially, even the album's darkest moments, like the eerie "Pawfluffer Night," retain a patina of humor; as a listener, you flit between enjoying the song, trying to work out how they did it, and succumbing to a wry smile when you realize you're genuinely listening to music made from the sounds your own cat uses to welcome you when you come home.
Meline sampled his late cat, Mini Beast, for the album's opening song and said he hopes the record gives people "a smile and a laugh and even on occasion a little bit of enjoyment." But there's a broader angle that propelled Meow The Jewels from a crowd-sourced prank to a moment in pop culture history.
"The bigger idea behind it," Meline said, "is that we can all, with our own humor and our own community and our own culture, come up with weird and interesting ways to do good things for other people. If it takes some inside joke to make it happen, then I'm all for it."
And if cats are crucial to making it happen, we're all winners.

Francis Sellers Collins (1950- )
Francis Sellers Collins helped lead the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, which helped describe the DNA sequence of the human genome by 2001, and he helped develop technologies used in molecular genetics while working in the US in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He directed the US National Center for Human Genome Research (NCHGR), which became the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), located in Bethesda, Maryland, from 1993 to 2008.
Roger Wolcott Sperry (1913–1994)
Roger Wolcott Sperry studied the function of the nervous system in the US during the twentieth century. He studied split-brain patterns in cats and humans that result from separating the two hemispheres of the brain by cutting the corpus callosum, the bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain. He found that separating the corpus callosum the two hemispheres of the brain could not communicate and they performed functions as if the other hemisphere did not exist. Sperry studied optic nerve regeneration through which he developed the chemoaffinity hypothesis.
The Role of the Notch Signaling Pathway in Myogenesis
Among other functions, the Notch signaling pathway forestalls the process of myogenesis in animals. The Notch signaling pathway is a pathway in animals by which two adjacent cells within an organism use a protein named Notch to mechanically interact with each other. Myogenesis is the formation of muscle that occurs throughout an animal's development, from embryo to the end of life. The cellular precursors of skeletal muscle originate in somites that form along the dorsal side of the organism.
Walter Edward Dandy (1886-1946)
Walter Edward Dandy studied abnormalities in the developing human brain in the United States in the twentieth century. He collaborated with pediatrician Kenneth Blackfan to provide the first clinical description of Dandy-Walker Syndrome, a congenital brain malformation in which the medial part of the brain, called the cerebellar vermis, is absent. Dandy also described the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid, the clear, watery fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
The Notch Signaling Pathway in Embryogenesis
The Notch signaling pathway is a mechanism in animals by which adjacent cells communicate with each other, conveying spatial information and genetic instructions for the animal's development. All multicellular animals utilize Notch signaling, which contributes to the formation, growth, and development of embryos (embryogenesis). Notch signaling also contributes to the differentiation of embryonic cells into various types of cells into various types of cells, such as neurons.
John Craig Venter (1946- )
John Craig Venter helped map the genomes of humans, fruitflies, and other organisms in the US in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and he helped develop an organism with a synthetic genome. In February 2001, Venter and his team published a human genome sequence after using a technique known as Expressed Sequence Tags, or ESTs. Venter worked to bridge commercial investment with scientific research. Venter founded a number of private companies, including the for-profit Celera Genomics, headquartered in Alameda, California, as well as research institutes, such as the not-for-profit J.
De Monstruorum Causis, Natura et Differentiis (On the Reasons, Nature and Differences of Monsters) (1616), by Fortunio Liceti
In 1616 in Padua, Italy, Fortunio Liceti, a professor of natural philosophy and medicine, wrote and published the first edition of De Monstruorum Causis, Natura et Differentiis (On the Reasons, Nature, and Differences of Monsters), hereafter De monstruorum. In De monstruorum, Liceti chronologically documented cases of human and animal monsters from antiquity to the seventeenth century. During the seventeenth century, many people considered such monsters as frightening signs of evil cursed by spiritual or supernatural entities.
Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
Emma Goldman was a traveling public speaker and writer known for her anarchist political views as well as her opinions on contraception and birth limiting in the late nineteenth century in the United States. Goldman identified as an anarchist, which she explained as being part of an ideology in which people use violence to provoke or demand social and political change. Goldman was involved in many anarchist social groups and published the anarchist magazine Mother Earth.
The Role of the Notch signaling pathway in Somitogenesis
Among other functions, the Notch signaling pathway contributes to the development of somites in animals. It involves a cell signaling mechanism with a wide range of functions, including cellular differentiation, and the formation of the embryonic structures (embryogenesis). All multicellular animals use Notch signaling, which is involved in the development, maintenance, and regeneration of a range of tissues. The Notch signaling pathways spans two cells, and consists of receptor proteins, which cross one cell's membrane and interacts with proteins on adjacent cells, called ligands.
Lysogenic Bacteria as an Experimental Model at the Pasteur Institute (1915-1965)
Lysogenic bacteria, or virus-infected bacteria, were the primary experimental models used by scientists working in the laboratories of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, during the 1950s and 1960s. Historians of science have noted that the use of lysogenic bacteria as a model in microbiological research influenced the scientific achievements of the Pasteur Institute's scientists.

Symptoms Associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS is one of the most common reproductive conditions in women, and its symptoms include cystic ovaries, menstrual irregularities, and elevated androgen or male sex hormone levels. During the 1930s, Irving Freiler Stein and Michael Leventhal identified the syndrome and its symptoms. Women who experience symptoms of PCOS may also experience secondary symptoms, including infertility and diabetes. Though estimates vary and the causes of the syndrome are not clear as of 2017, PCOS affects approximately ten percent of women of reproductive age.

"Effect of Vaginal Sildenafil on the Outcome of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) After Multiple IVF Failures Attributed to Poor Endometrial Development" (2002), by Geoffrey Sher and Jeffrey Fisch
Researchers Geoffrey Sher and Jeffrey Fisch gave Viagra, also known as sildenafil, to women undergoing fertility treatment to test whether the medication could improve fertility and pregnancy rates. The researchers proposed that Viagra, typically indicated to treat erectile dysfunction in men, would help women with a history of failed past fertility treatments by thickening their endometrial lining, which is the layer of tissue in the uterus where an embryo implants during pregnancy.

Twice Born–Stories from the Special Delivery Unit (2015), by the Public Broadcasting Service and Trailblazer Studios
In 2015, the Public Broadcasting Service, or PBS, released a three-part documentary series, Twice Born–Stories from the Special Delivery Unit, hereafter Twice Born, that follows several pregnant women and their experiences with fetal surgery. Trailblazer Studios produced the film, which predominantly features two women, although it includes the stories of many women. The two main women are pregnant with fetuses diagnosed with physical deformities. One woman's fetus is diagnosed with spina bifida, an incomplete closure of the fetus's spinal column.
Agent Orange Birth Defects
Sprayed extensively by the US military in Vietnam, Agent Orange contained a dioxin contaminant later found to be toxic to humans. Despite reports by Vietnamese citizens and Vietnam War veterans of increased rates of stillbirths and birth defects in their children, studies in the 1980s showed conflicting evidence for an association between the two. In 1996, the US National Academy of Sciences reported that there was evidence that suggested dioxin and Agent Orange exposure caused spina bifida, a birth defect in which the spinal cord develops improperly.
The US President's Council on Bioethics (2001-2009)
The US President's Council on Bioethics was an organization headquartered in Washington D.C. that was chartered to advise then US President George W. Bush on ethical issues related to biomedical science and technology. In November 2001, US President George W. Bush created the President's Council on Bioethics (PCB). Convened during a nationwide cloning and embryonic stem cell research debate, the Council stated that it worked to address arguments about ethics from many different perspectives.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)
The concept Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) refers to a set of birth defects that occur in children born to mothers who abused alcohol during pregnancy. The alcohol-induced defects include pre- and post-natal growth deficiencies, minor facial abnormalities, and damage to the developing central nervous system (CNS).
"Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III" (1944) by Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod and Maclyn McCarty
In 1944, Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty published an article in which they concluded that genes, or molecules that dictate how organisms develop, are made of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. The article is titled "Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III," hereafter "Transformation." The authors isolated, purified, and characterized genes within bacteria and found evidence that those genes were made of DNA and not protein.
