'What can we do? Disqualify them all?': Riders using bike paths to avoid cobbles frustrate commissaires
Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne sees riders crash as they ride on the pavement

By Henry Robertshaw published 26 February 18
UCI commissaires have expressed their frustration at riders avoiding the cobbles by riding on cycle paths and pavements on the opening weekend of the cobbled Classics in Belgium.
In a practice that has becoming an increasing source of controversy in recent years, riders in both Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne were shown on television footage using smooth cycle paths next to the cobbled sectors, with the large numbers of riders breaking the rules in this way proving a frustration to race officials.
"It makes me really mad," Jacky Botton, the chair of the race jury at Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad, which is a sponsor of both races.
"My personal opinion is that these UCI rules are simply not applicable in Belgium. What can you do? Disqualify them all? That is impossible without a video referee. And even with a video referee I wouldn't see everyone.
"In the local circuit [around Kuurne] there were two crashes because the riders wanted to [use the pavement to] take a shortcut. I told the organisers that they should prevent this in the future [using barriers]."
>>> Dylan Groenewegen sprints to Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne victory as breakaway caught with 150m to go
The issue was particularly noticeable on the Varent section of cobbles with 66km to go in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, where the whole of the breakaway group and the majority of the riders in the peloton took to the hard-packed gravel cycle path on the right-hand side of the road rather than riding on the cobbles.
Thankfully there were few spectators on this path, although some riders did come close to crashing into a Team Sky car which had parked on the cycle path.
According to UCI regulations the "Use of sidewalks/pavements, paths or cycle paths that do not form part of the course" can be punished with a 200CHF fine and/or disqualification from the race.
The issue was also the subject of debate last year, when riders complained about Greg Van Avermaet, Peter Sagan, and Sep Vanmarcke riding on cycle paths and pavements as they rode away from the peloton to contest victory at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
At the time race commissaires suggested that the trio could be fined for their actions, although it is unclear whether this punishment was ever implemented.

Making Adolescent Literacy A National Priority
By Catherine Gewertz on September 15, 2009 9:37 AM
The embargo has lifted on the final report that caps five years of work by the Carnegie Corporation of New York's Council for Advancing Adolescent Literacy. It lays out a national agenda for tackling the adolescent literacy problem, saying that it's time to "re-engineer" the nation's education system at the school, district, state, and federal levels to make the issue an "overarching" priority.
Check back on edweek.org later today for my story on it, including what a panel of national experts had to say.

Fox News used the tragic story of a grieving father to continue smearing undocumented immigrants as violent criminals and attack the Obama administration's deportation policies. In fact, data shows that immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated and do not commit crimes at higher rates than others. Moreover, the Obama administration's deportation of undocumented immigrants is at an all-time high.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy interviewed Don Rosenberg to discuss the death of his son, Drew, who was killed in California when his motorcycle was hit by an unlicensed driver in 2010. As San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra J. Saunders reported, Roberto Galo was charged in the incident for driving without a license and with felony negligent homicide for causing Drew's death. He is reportedly slated for release on Friday.
As Saunders noted, Rosenberg has called for Galo to be deported upon his release. However, Galo is "a legal immigrant with 'temporary protected status,'" which, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, means Galo cannot be deported under certain circumstances: Conditions in his home country temporarily prevent him from returning safely or his country is unable to adequately handle his return.
Galo is reportedly from Honduras, which affords its nationals and those without nationality who last resided in that country protected status in the United States until July 2013. However, those eligible under these conditions might forfeit protected status if they have been convicted of a felony or have committed two or more misdemeanors in the United States.
In introducing the segment, Doocy called Galo "an unlicensed illegal immigrant" while onscreen text repeatedly identified him as an "illegal immigrant."
During the Fox & Friends segment, legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. tied Galo's case with the Obama administration's deportation policies, claiming that the Rosenbergs are the victims of the administration's prosecutorial guidelines where "there is a much higher threshold by which people are deported in America." Johnson added: "Some say that was a political move in an election year and frankly we're seeing the effects of what happened to one particular family, the Rosenberg family."
Johnson concluded the segment by telling viewers to write to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to demand justice for Drew Rosenberg.
In fact, Galo, who is in the country legally, was arrested, sentenced, and is serving time for his crime. Though thousands of legal immigrants can be and are deported every year, the Obama administration's prosecutorial discretion prioritizes deportations of undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes. In 2011, more than 200,000 undocumented immigrants who fell into that category were deported, the largest number ever, which included those convicted of homicide, sexual-based offenses, crimes involving drugs, and driving under the influence.
In 2010, according to the Christian Science Monitor, "13,028 people were deported for less serious traffic violations, three times the 4,527 who were deported two years earlier."
Johnson's claim that the administration's use of prosecutorial discretion was an election-year ploy is a card Fox has repeatedly used to undermine President Obama's stringent enforcement policies. But the administration's decision to grant possible deportation relief to certain undocumented immigrants would not have applied to Galo: First, Deferred Action is aimed at immigrants who were brought here at a young age and are 30 years old or younger; second, those eligible may not have been convicted of a felony offense, significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.
Numerous studies by independent researchers and government commissions over the past 100 years repeatedly and consistently have found that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes or be behind bars than the native-born. In the early decades of the 20th century, during the previous era of large-scale immigration, various federal commissions found lower levels of crime among the foreign-born than the native-born.
More recently, the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform reached a similar conclusion in a 1994 report, as have academic researchers using data from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Census; the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health; and the results of community studies in Chicago, San Diego, El Paso, and Miami.
The problem of crime in the United States is not "caused" or even aggravated by immigrants, regardless of their legal status.
One fatal crash in five (20%) involves a driver who is unlicensed or whose license is suspended, canceled, or revoked.
States differ dramatically in their incidence of crashes involving unlicensed and invalidly licensed drivers, from 6.1% in Maine to 23.4% in New Mexico.
Unlicensed drivers are almost five times more likely to be in a fatal crash than are validly licensed drivers.
Two-thirds of drivers continue to drive while under suspension.
Given these statistics, Fox could have easily highlighted the issue without using it as a political opportunity to smear undocumented immigrants.

CTG – Humanitarian Enablers | Have You Got What It Takes To Be A Humanitarian Worker?
When my Skype rang, I saw that it was Doctor George calling me. He's a capable emergency physician, and we at CTG were excited to have found someone so willing to go and work in our field hospital in Basra, between Kuwait and Iran. "James, can you hear me?" Skype was sketchy as usual, but I could just about hear him. "I'm leaving tomorrow," he said. "What's that? Doctor George, did you say you're leaving?" Yes, he replied. I didn't understand, as he had only just arrived. What could be wrong? "It's too hot and sandy," he said. I was speechless. What did Doctor George expect? he was going to work in a remote field hospital in Basra!
The point of this light-hearted anecdote is twofold: firstly the individual had not prepared himself for what was ahead of him and secondly we had not done our due diligence to make sure he was cut out for the job. Working in post-conflict environments is not everyone's cup of tea, that is for sure, nor does it need to be. It is tough, often monotonous, sometimes dangerous, occasionally scary, always frustrating and usually quite alien. On the flip side, it can be extremely rewarding with rich human encounters, humbling experiences, plenty of laughter and great friendships that last forever. So what does it take to work as a humanitarian in extreme contexts? Well, there is certainly no one-size-fits-all response to that question and it is almost easier to describe what doesn't work than what works but I'll try a bit of both.
In a recent CTG survey aimed at prospective applicants for humanitarian work, 79 percent of respondents said their primary motivation is to make a difference. Nearly 67 percent said they have experienced living in a developing country.
People who have traveled a lot, speak multiple languages and are comfortable with, and indeed seek out, cross-cultural experiences usually do well in humanitarian aid work. In the 1980s humanitarian aid was something that was "given out" as charity (it still is to a large extent but I'll save that hot topic for a rainy day) however, today local engagement and local solutions to local problems is far more prevalent.
So people with a natural curiosity, an openness of mind, the humility not to assume that the "aid givers" have the answers and the simple gift of striking up conversation with absolutely anyone are all qualities that stand you in good stead as a humanitarian worker.
Not needing much sleep is also pretty handy! I say that slightly tongue in cheek, but working on humanitarian projects is extremely intense in every way. People tend to work all of the time (there isn't much else to do, especially if the security risks are high and movement is restricted) although in some cases the social life can be pretty active too. The work itself can be draining both from a human perspective and the general stress of trying to get things done where nothing works as it does back home. I would go a step further to state that people who are able to remain grounded and balanced are usually successful over the long-term and that does include looking after your own health and wellbeing (physical and mental).
My colleague Lucy once dragged me off one morning in Mogadishu at 5am to a sunrise yoga session on the beach, just down from the Ugandan soldiers' hut guarding the coast line from the threat of Al Shabab. I'm not a big yoga fan, but it was incredibly peaceful and I was very grateful to the aid worker who gave up her early mornings to take these sessions which set us up for the day ahead.
That leads me onto the support network. People who succeed in the "field" usually have a solid grounding at home. Sadly, my personal observation is that many people attracted to remote field work are often running away from something and don't always have the safety net of a solid base to return to. We all get asked the question "when are you going to get a real job" and whilst it's a little frustrating (hey, we're saving the world, aren't we?) it's understandable because what we do as humanitarians isn't exactly normal but having the basics of a support network is a key success factor.
I can usually tell if someone is going to be a success in the field before they've even arrived. Our recruiters work day and night to source candidates from all over the world and sometimes, believe it or not, candidates can be unbelievably pushy and even rude and yet somehow they end up getting selected for the position (our clients have final decision making on the right fit). Another indicator is usually discovered waiting in the long and often sweaty queues at immigration on arrival. One time I was queuing for my arrival visa in Somalia when a rather brash man in a suit pushed past me waving his paper work and stated shouting at the local immigration officer "I've got my visa you so-and-so' … I was not only embarrassed for us "foreigners" but I also thought to myself, that guy isn't going to last long. It seems a total platitude, but basic manners, courtesy and a healthy dose of patience are essential qualities for any humanitarian worker. Rudeness sends you right to the back of the queue, in my experience.
Enough from me, these are just my thoughts from my peripatetic lifestyle supporting the humanitarian community. We'd love to hear from you and if you think you might have what it takes to deploy to a CTG project, why not take the test? Good luck and we look forward to hearing from you.

Photos: Track 42 remains in place for now as the border crisis in southern Arizona deepens
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John G. Roberts Jr. has temporarily stayed the termination of a controversial Trump-era immigration policy known as Title 42, which was due to end on Dec. 11. 21
But the stream of refugees on the southern border continues.
Spotlight: Southern Arizona.
Around 3am every morning, hundreds of people stand beside the brightly lit, 30-foot-tall steel fence. They shiver below freezing in the desert night or huddle around makeshift warming fires, waiting to surrender to border police agents.
They have traveled from Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Afghanistan, Russia and Georgia to a single gap or one of several locked gates in the border wall.
Everyone wants to apply for asylum.

Many had trouble pronouncing the names of American cities where they claimed to have a relative or friend.
Multigenerational families and travelers said they spent days, weeks or months catching flights and long bus journeys, and some said they walked for months to get here.
About 200 migrants from at least a dozen countries wait to be processed by US Border Patrol agents south of Yuma, Ariz. The site is such a busy destination for migrants that the head of the Yuma Sector Border Patrol installed shade canopies, water tanks and portable toilets.
They knew well in advance that once they got to the border, they would have to wait in line and hand in anything that didn't fit in a 1 liter plastic ziplock bag.
In 2022, there were so many "duties" that James Wright, the Yuma Station Border Patrol special operations officer, put up shade canopies to provide shelter from the scorching summer sun and fresh water tanks.
Migrants huddle in the shade of the border wall, trying to keep warm until border guards arrive.
Two Border Patrol agents take photos of a group of about 100 who surrendered after crossing the US-Mexico border in Arizona without permission. At right are stacked shipping containers set up by the former Arizona governor earlier this year. Doug Ducey to close a gap in the barrier.
Cuban nationals Alejandro Diaz and his wife Ruth Delgado hold hands while waiting with a group of 200 migrants on the Colorado River embankment in San Luis, Ariz. "In Havana, we were English teachers and Christians," Diaz said. "The government has been trying to get us to vote for a new family code. Because we didn't vote for it, we felt threatened at school and at home and decided to flee." They intend to apply for asylum and live with his father in Orlando, Florida.

At Vibra Hospital, we understand the hardships experienced by patients who require mechanical ventilator support. Our goal is to help our patients breathe on their own again and regain their independence. With almost three decades of experience in ventilator care, and as the largest employer of respiratory therapists, Vibra is the recognized leader in pulmonary care nationwide.
Patients with complex respiratory disorders receive care based on the latest protocols, including a tailored ventilator weaning care plan overseen by a board-certified pulmonologist. All of our hospitals have respiratory therapists on staff 24 hours a day.
Many patients referred to us are considered unable to be weaned from a ventilator. But due to our industry leading weaning protocols and experienced team members we successfully weaned 44% of these cases in 2008.
Our tailored weaning care plans are designed to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation. This plan includes interdisciplinary team conferences with pulmonologists and therapists.

Y'know, like the Marx Brothers
The key to Ashley is not in trying to deduce what it's about; it's in reading the film's puzzling structure. You have to decide from the outset if you're going to take everything literally in spite of the dreamlike quality of many of the story's character-centric vignettes (some of which seem far too convenient and inevitable, especially in the later sections).
The story is led by the titular Ashley (Nicole Fox), a seventeen year-old girl who has experienced an extended depression since the passing of her father. Despite her age, she's secure in her sexuality ("I like girls," she tells a nerdy boy who innocently tries to hold her hand) and apparently in her introversion. The film takes the form of a few dozen self-contained scenes, most of which involve Ashley being abused in some way – she's taken advantage of by classmates (both male and female); has the stuffing kicked out of her by a gaggle of mean-girls who discover her preference for girls; her mother's boyfriend (Michael Madsen) tries to kiss her; a girl she has a crush on (Mallory Moye) breaks her spirit after playing a cruel game with her; the school shrink (Tom Malloy) exhaustively tries to open her up; and worst of all, her own mother, Stacy (Jennifer Taylor), who is dealing with single-parenthood and an uncontrollable temper combined with the fact that her own daughter barely says a word to her, is frequently abusive. Ashley is into self-mutilation, incorporating it into most facets of her life, even associating it with intimacy.
The characters who interact with Ashley are only allowed, as far as the narrative structure goes, to interact with her, not so much with each other. This means that Nicole Fox carries every scene in the movie. Since Ashley has no friends, she frequents dating sites on her laptop (when was the last time we saw cybersex in a movie?), eventually meeting Candice (Nicole Buehrer), a 33 year-old woman who also happens to be very lonely. For most of the film, we only hear Candice's voice, making us wonder whether there's a more sinister motive behind her instant-message sweetness and her phone calls to the much younger Ashley (when was the last time we saw phone sex in a movie?). But Ashley, for whatever reason – maybe faith alone, since literally everyone else has let her down in some way – trusts her, and they agree to meet.
Why isn't Nicole Fox a full-time actor? I realize that a scripted, brainjunk reality show got her to where she is, but let's make the most of it after this masterful (when was the last time I used that word two posts in a row?) performance. She defines this film, appears in almost every scene, and probably has fewer lines than Ryan Gosling had in Drive. Most of her communication is done through facial expressions and the beginnings of words. Watching her attempt to say "I'm sorry" and struggling to even form words is truly painful. Where did this performance come from? Why are so few talking about it?
Jennifer Taylor delivers a great performance as well, although it may be partially wasted on a film that isn't really about her character. The scene where she finally attempts to reconcile with Ashley is very difficult, and plays out as pleasantly as it can. But it's good payoff. Michael Madsen briefly appears, still looking and sounding way too much like Mr. Blonde to be able to convince me of much else, but if he, like so many others in this piece, had bigger roles, the fact that he even appears here might not be so glaring.
The ending of the film is where things become a little too convenient. I like movies that are honest about depression. I am allergic to contrivance. One person being nice to you does not yank you out of years of feeling absolutely nothing, does not cure addictions and harmful habits, does not heal all of your relationships and personal problems and allow everyone to understand you. This is why I use the term "dreamlike" to describe what happens after Ashley's protracted and very well-acted date with Candice: could Ashley possibly be imagining all of this? That after all of the failures, abuse, and sheer bottom-of-the-barrelness she must deal with every day, that she pictures herself as a person who people love to talk to, who has a good relationship with her mother and an attractive romantic partner, who has male friends that don't want to sleep with her, who doesn't need therapy, etc.? The film doesn't do anything to indicate that what's happening is in fact not real, but if the pacing of the film's shoehorned denouement were slowed down, I might believe it more. I also have concerns about the whole "girl has a sexually abusive father, so she becomes a self-loathing lesbo" trope, which is based entirely upon stereotypes about girls that have been perpetuated forever through mediums like this. This film, and these actors, are better than that (even if the script-writers aren't), and it would only have taken a minor tightening of the celluloid lug-nuts to fix it.
The takeaway here: stop making movies about depression if you think the depressed person has to become "happy" by the end, or if you think that introverted people secretly want to be extroverted.

Quoting a line from The Jackson 5 song "ABC," learning about how to save for college and other types of education, can be as "easy as one, two, three" if you check out the SEC's Investor Bulletins: An Introduction to 529 Plans and 10 Questions to Consider before Opening a 529 Account. While investing in a child's education can seem overwhelming, understanding your options is an A+ first step.
One: Understand the types of 529 plans. There are two types of 529s–prepaid tuition plans and education savings plans. All 50 states and the District of Columbia sponsor at least one type of plan. Additionally, a group of private colleges and universities sponsor a prepaid tuition plan.
Prepaid plans allow you to lock in the future price of tuition at current prices. They don't usually cover room and board or allow you to prepay for elementary and secondary school tuition. Most of these plans are sponsored by state governments and have residency requirements for the saver and/or the beneficiary. Make sure you check whether the state you're in guarantees the money you paid into the plan, as some don't. Also, you should know that prepaid plans aren't guaranteed by the federal government. That means that you could lose some or all of your money if the plan's sponsor loses money. And, if the student doesn't wind up going to a participating college or university, the plan may pay less than if the beneficiary attends a participating college or university–possibly paying only a small return on the original investment.
The other type of 529 is an education savings plan, which allows you to open an investment account to save for tuition, fees and room and board. Generally, the money can be used at any U.S., and some non-U.S. colleges or universities. It can also generally be used to pay up to $10,000 per year per beneficiary for tuition at public, private, or religious elementary or secondary schools. This type of plan allows you to choose from a variety of investment options, including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and often principal-protected bank products. All of these kinds of plans are sponsored by state governments and only a few have residency requirements but be aware that they are not guaranteed by the state government. Plans that invest in mutual funds and ETFs aren't federally guaranteed, however, some of the bank products may be insured by the FDIC. And remember, education savings plan investments may not make any money and you could lose some or all of the money you invested.
Two: Be mindful of the fees and expenses. Both the prepaid and savings plans may charge enrollment and administrative fees. You may also pay additional costs for savings plans, including program and asset management fees, sales loads and redemption and distribution fees. You can save money if states offer direct-sold education savings plans where you can invest without paying additional broker-charged fees. Some savings plans will waive or reduce some of their administrative or maintenance fees if you keep a large account balance, sign-up for automatic contributions or electronic-only document delivery or are a resident of the state sponsoring the 529 plan.
Three: Look at your "big picture." You should be aware of the tax implications of 529 plans. Investing in a 529 plan may offer you special tax benefits. Some states may allow you to deduct plan contributions from state income tax or offer other benefits, such as matching grants. But you may only be eligible for these benefits if you participate in a plan sponsored by your state of residence. In addition, if you use the money from the plan for qualified higher education expenses or tuition for elementary or secondary schools, money earned from the plan is not subject to federal income tax, and in most cases, state income tax. However, if you don't use the money in this way you will be subject to both, as well as an additional 10 percent federal tax penalty on earnings. Be sure to research the plan you're considering thoroughly, including any restrictions.
And remember, "All you gotta do is repeat after me, ABC, easy as one, two, three or simple as do-re-mi" if you start right now about learning the ways 529 plans can help you save for your education needs.

This collection is the outcome of a language documentation project on Ubang, a Cross River Bendi language spoken by 11,100 people in Obudu, Cross-River State, Nigeria (SIL, 2013). Ubang show gender-based diglossia whereby females and males use different words to refer to the same basic concept and thing.
Ubang is endangered because of the diminishing number of speakers due to occupational emigration and language contact and because of gender diglossia is not passed on to the next generation as vigorously as it used to be.
This collection aims to document Ubang's disappearing natural diglossic conversations, folktales and cultural rites of passage.
This collection represents members of the Ubang community, who live in Ofambe, Okiro and Okweriseng, three contiguous communities in Obudu Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria. The Ubang speak a namesake language, Ubang, which shows gender-based diglossia whereby male and female members of the community refer to the same item or concept with different terms.
The main tourist attraction in Cross River State (The Obudu Cattle) is located where the Ubang live. This has brought rapid development to the area as well as an influx of cosmopolitan population and the adoption of Nigerian Pidgin (Naija) as language of wider communication, and English as language of prestige. At the market, in school, worship and other public spheres, the Ubang are forced to speak other languages. There is diminishing Ubang language intergenerational transfer, let alone the transfer of gender diglossia.
Ubang (ISO639-3: uba) is a Cross-River Bendi language spoken in Cross River State in south-eastern Nigeria. Ubang has a gender-based diglossia situation whereby male and female members of the community refer to the same item or concept with different terms. For example, an item as basic as jaw is a?ka? for females and b???ba? for males; the verb run is bu? (female) and t?? (male). Even for gender cognate words, there are consonant substitutions – males use [t?/?] while females use [s]. With respect to sound inventory, there are gaps in the male sound system which are attested to in the female. Sounds like labialised labial-velar plosive [gb?] and labial-alveolar nasal [n?m] present in female speech are absent in male speech. In addition, there are evidence of gender-based tonal polarity, prefixation and morphological clipping. Moreover, Ubang gender diglossia includes gender-based riddles and verbal inflections. These are pointers to the fact that Ubang gender diglossia permeates deeper levels of language structure than just sounds and lexicon.
Interesting as the phenomenon of gender-based language variety is, only scant academic attention has been paid to Ubang. The only PhD thesis on the language, Uchendu (2003), dwells on the sociological issues of gender, language and power. The rest of information about Ubang diglossia is largely through media commentaries and news pieces about its rare linguistic gender dichotomy, with the Ubang often mistakenly referred to as people whose male and female population speak separate languages.
On the basis of its 11,100 speakers, Ethnologue describes Ubang as vigorous. However, by field experience in 2015 and 2016 we have discovered that the language as a whole, and its marked diglossic feature in particular, are threatened on the one hand by language contact, and on the other hand by ceasing intergenerational transfer of gender diglossia. Of the three villages where Ubang is spoken, gender diglossia only subsists in degenerate form in Ofambe, while it is nearly extinct in Okiro and Okweriseng. If we consider the fact that Ofambe has the smallest population (2,900 speakers) of the three villages, the reality of the diglossia endangerment becomes more pronounced.
When completed, this collection will include the following outputs:
audiovisual recordings of folktales told by females and males
tales involving rituals and masquerades told by men
tales concerning food crop farming told by women
"unisex" tales of common grounds, which both genders tell
fieldnotes on gender diglossic differences
audiovisual recordings of diglossic Ubang natural discourse
mother-toddler conversations
father-toddler conversations
male-female conversations (youth and adult)
audiovisual recordings of Ubang naming, marriage and funeral rites as well as everyday activities
audiovisual recordings of interview and elicitations
time-aligned annotations of the recordings, giving
phonetic and orthographic transcriptions
morpheme break-up
word gloss
an electronic dictionary of Ubang
a tonal grammar of Ubang, describing and analysing tonal processes in negation, question, possession, tense and aspects constructions
participant and session metadata
This collection focuses on gender diglossia, which in the extent attested in Ubang is a rare phenomenon cross-linguistically.
In 2016, I won an African Humanities Program postdoctoral fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies to investigate the genesis and intergenerational transfer of Ubang Gender Diglossia. Given the yet historical and sociolinguistic slant of my current work on the language and salient linguistic discoveries on the field, I became convinced about the imperative to give attention to the anthropological and linguistic documentation of Ubang gender diglossia.
In previous work, I acquired the following data on Ubang
1,700 words of the SIL Comparative African Wordlist (nearly 400 of which are gender disaggregated)
Ibadan Syntactic Paradigm of 100 kernel sentences
six folktales (the same three stories, told by females and males)
six focus group discussions with male and female teenagers, middle-aged and aged
3h of natural conversation (parent-child and female-male youth conversations)
nine in-depth-interviews with selected adult male and female respondents from the three Ubang settlements in Obudu (Ofambe, Okiro and Okweriseng)
However, due to lack of high resolution equipment and the emphasis on audio recording, only a minor portion of my data can be archived – largely the wordlists and limited number of folktales.
The materials for this collection were gathered and prepared between 2017 and 2018 during the research for the ELDP-funded Small Grant awarded to Ademola Lewis.
In addition to archiving at the Endangered Language Archive, copies of the materials will also be stored in the three Ubang communities and at the University of Ibadan.

** Navas was my 2016 "One to Watch" for the Rays. He completed his first full season at Bowling Green, posting pedestrian numbers, but in line with his perpherials over 4 seasons as a pro.
Late Season Trade Impact: Tampa Bay parted ways with long-time 3B Evan Longoria. Pieces included in the haul from the Giants was an up & coming infielder in Christian Arroyo and a 22-year old right-hander Stephen Woods (15). Woods would have ranked at #2 UTR-OAS with the Giants. He completed his first full season with LoA Augusta where he stymied lefty hitters (.211) and kept the ball in the yard ( 3 HR in 110 IP).

Charlaine Harris' Cemetery Girl 2in1 Pretender's Inheritance
Written by: Charlaine Harris, Christopher Golden
Art By: Don Kramer
Both volumes are collected here for the very first time and including a special preview of the third and final chapter of this series! In Book One: The Pretenders: She has made the cemetery her home, living in a crypt and avoiding human contact. But Calexa can't hide from the dead—and because she can see spirits, they can't hide from her. Then one night, Calexa spies a group of teenagers vandalizing a grave—and watches in horror as they commit murder. As the victim's spirit rises from her body, it flows into Calexa, overwhelming her mind with visions and memories not her own. Now Calexa must make a decision: continue to hide to protect herself—or come forward to bring justice to the sad spirit who has reached out to her for help... In Book Two: The Inheritance: Despite her self-imposed isolation, Calexa's ability to see spirits—and the memories she receives from them—guarantees she'll never be alone, even among the deceased. The only living people she allows herself to interact with are Kelner, the cemetery's cantankerous caretaker, and Lucinda Cameron, an elderly woman who lives in an old Victorian house across the street. With their friendship, Calexa has regained a link to the world beyond tombstones and mausoleums. Until the night she witnesses a murder that shatters her life—a life now under a police microscope—as their investigation threatens to uncover Calexa's true identity...
Charlaine Harris' Cemetery Girl Vol #3 Haunted
Art By: Geraldo Borges
They call her the Ghost of Dunhill Cemetery, but most people think "the Cemetery Girl" is just a story. In some ways, that's true. Her chosen name is Calexa Rose Dunhill, but she doesn't know her real name. When she first arrived here, all she knew was that someone had tried to murder her, dumped her body, and left her for dead. Calexa has been hiding out, afraid to seek out her true identity in fear that her would-be murderer would find her and finish the job. And someone is searching for her…a man named Salazar, who holds the key that will unlock the secrets of Calexa's past. Calexa has new secrets as well—including the fact that she was murdered…she did die, if only for a moment. And in that moment, something changed inside her. Now, if someone dies near her, their spirit is drawn to Calexa, drawn into her. It has happened twice before, but now—as her worst fears come true and there are killers on her trail—the third ghost to take up residence in Calexa's soul will change everything and bring the Cemetery Girl trilogy to its shocking conclusion!

We lost an amazing storyteller yesterday. One of our finest. And because I'm first and foremost a book lover, I want to tell you to run, not walk, and pick up a stack of Leonard titles. Read them. Read every last one.
But since this is a pop-culture site, it's also worth honoring the ways in which Leonard left his fingerprints all over our film and television landscape. With his funny, stylish stories of the delicious and dangerous friction that occurs when good guys rub up against bad, Leonard never failed to entertain us. And just because he didn't write every word of the famous adaptations of his novels doesn't mean his voice can't be heard throughout. In fact, famously, the writing staff of the FX drama "Justified" used "What Would Elmore Do?" as their unofficial motto. These were, unmistakably, his worlds. Worlds that bled together, themes that resonated. Whether we're in the Deep South or the West Coast, the here and now or the way back when, Leonard's heroes and villains are always, just, so cool. So though we've lost the storyteller, we still have the stories he told. We'll always have them. So this is just a little reminder of what we've lost. We'll not see his like again.

Peptidases are ubiquitous enzymes involved with diverse biological procedures. within frog
Peptidases are ubiquitous enzymes involved with diverse biological procedures. within frog venom, growing the data of Mouse monoclonal to KLHL25 amphibian biology. Intro Anuran skin is normally source of a substantial variety of chemicals with different natural activities, such as for example biogenic amines, steroids, alkaloids, bufadienolides, peptides, and proteins [1]. Many of these substances are made by the granular glands present chiefly in your skin from the dorsal area and are associated with avoiding predators and pathogens [2], [3]. Secretion compositions differ among amphibian groupings according with their connections with the surroundings. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) present an important function in innate immunity, besides getting vital that you angiogenesis, tegument fix, inflammatory procedures, and chemotaxis [4]. Several peptides present similar or analogous features to the types within extracutaneous tissues, like the central and peripheral anxious systems, as well as the gastrointestinal system of most vertebrate classes. Identical peptides can be found both in secretions and cells because of the common embryonic-ectodermal source from the vertebrates skin and brain [5]C[7]. Bioactive peptides are secreted by way of a holocrine mechanism; although some are constitutively expressed, others are induced by the current presence of microorganisms or by endogenous pro-inflammatory cytokines in situations of stress or injury [8]C[11]. The AMPs derive from proteolytic processing from the precursor and contain a sign sequence, an acidic pro-peptide domain, and an individual copy from the biologically active peptide. The signal portion addresses the precursor to a proper location within the gland [12], [13]. Once the animal is stimulated, a protease removes the acidic region, liberating the peptide that may undergo post-translational modifications; for instance, amidation from the C-terminus or further proteolytic processing may appear [14], [15]. The pre-pro-region is conserved among different species, which reinforces the hypothesis that certain encoder exon of a lot of unrelated precursors appeared initially of amphibian evolution [12], [13]. Over the last decades, nearly all studies regarding biochemical analysis of anuran skin secretions have centered on the isolation and characterization of bioactive peptides. However, little research has centered on the enzymes in charge of peptide processing. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, several studies described the peptidases within the cutaneous secretion of have already been a rich way to obtain numerous AMPs discovered within the last couple of years [20]C[27]. Alternatively, no studies have investigated the peptidases, the enzymes in charge of the peptide processing, with this secretion. Previously, we detected two inactive fragments from the AMP fallaxin in your skin secretion of were collected in Luziania, GO, Brazil and were maintained in captivity in the University of Brasilia. Your skin secretion was obtained by way of a mild electrical stimulation method and diluted in Milli-Q water. Area of the collected sample was immediately used; another part was lyophilized and kept at ?20C for subsequent use. The animals reassumed their normal behavior a few momemts after harvesting the secretion. All procedures were performed under the official licence number 17682-1 from ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute for Conservation of Biodiversity) and were approved by the pet Ethics Committee from the GDC-0449 University of Brasilia. Protein content was dependant on the Bradford method using bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma-Aldrich Company, USA) because the standard protein GDC-0449 [28]. Gelatinase Activity The gelatinase activity assay was performed following a procedure of Menezes et al. [29] with some modifications. In conclusion, lyophilized samples (40 g) of your skin secretion of were blended with semi-native sample buffer (62.5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 2% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 15% (v/v) glycerol, and 0.02% (w/v) bromophenol blue). The samples were loaded on the 9% SDS-PAGE gel co-polymerized with 0.1% (w/v) gelatin. To visualize the bands of activity, the gels were submitted to four washes of 15 min each with 2.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 to eliminate traces of SDS. Next, the gels were washed with deionized water GDC-0449 to eliminate excess Triton X-100, plus they were incubated at room.

Background BMAL1 is a transcriptional activator of the molecular clock opinions
Background BMAL1 is a transcriptional activator of the molecular clock opinions network. both lung epithelial cells and normal lung fibroblasts. In animal models of pulmonary fibrosis, BMAL1 appearance was also significantly higher in adenovirus-TGF-1-infected mice than in the control group. Curiously, BMAL1 was mostly found in a deacetylated form in the presence of TGF-1. Importantly, siRNACmediated knockdown of BMAL1 significantly attenuated GDC-0449 the canonical TGF-1 signaling pathway and altered TGF-1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and MMP9 production in lung epithelial cells. In addition, BMAL1 knockdown inhibited the fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation of normal human lung fibroblasts. Conclusions Our results indicate that activation of TGF-1 promotes the GDC-0449 transcriptional induction of BMAL1. Furthermore, BMAL1 is required for the TGF-1-induced signaling transduction and pro-fibrotic activities in the lung. in mice results in a complete loss of circadian rhythm under constant dark conditions [21]. mice is characterized by significantly reduced lifespan compared to their wild-type littermates and displayed various symptoms of premature aging as early as 5?months of age with inefficient epidermal self-renewal, less subcutaneous fat, organ shrinkage. This early aging phenotype correlates with increased levels of reactive oxygen species in several tissues [22]. Meanwhile, knockout cells express lower amounts of the miRNA-23b/-27b/-24-1 cluster, which targets transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 and Smad proteins [23]. In addition, BMAL1 has also been identified as a candidate gene for susceptibility to hypertension and Type II diabetes [24]. Whereas BMAL1 has been reported to regulate the expression of genes involved in different physiological and pathological activities, the expression of BMAL1 itself is under the influence of internal and external environmental events. Rev-Erb and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor alpha (ROR), two downstream targets of BMAL1, have been recognized to compete the ROR response elements at the marketer area of to regulate the level of BMAL1 [25, 26]. In addition, the appearance of BMAL1 offers also been reported to become regulated by glucocorticoid, glucagon, melatonin, and TNF in different systems [27C30]. However, TGF-2 has been found to profoundly inhibit the expression of several circadian clock genes, such as genes, and the clock-controlled genes and without influencing the known level of in NIH3Capital t3 fibroblasts and HT22 neurons [31]. In this scholarly study, we evaluated the part of TGF-1 in the appearance of time clock genetics both in vivo and in vitro. We discovered that overexpression of TGF-1 in mouse lung area modified the appearance profile of circadian time clock genetics and raised the appearance level of BMAL1 in lung fibroblasts and epithelial cells. The lung offers been proven to show powerful circadian tempo in tradition. Using the Per2: luc transgenic rodents, Dr. Gibbs group documented bioluminescence circadian vacillation in lung pieces [32]. Furthermore, another mixed group exposed that a quantity of genetics that are included in legislation, restoration and maintenance of the lung cells display vacillation in their appearance amounts [33]. Lately, BMAL1 offers been reported to become an essential mediator of inflammatory response. Targeted removal of in lung epithelium augments swelling in response to cigarettes/cigarette smoke cigarettes [34]. Targeted reduction of in bronchiolar cells induce an overstated inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide and reduced sponsor response to streptococcus pneumonia disease [27]. Nevertheless, it can be mainly unfamiliar whether time clock genetics still, especially significantly attenuated TGF-1-induced signaling transduction cascades and physiological functions in both lung fibroblasts GDC-0449 and epithelial cells, suggesting the BMAL1 is required for the proper conduction of TGF-1 signals and the fibrogenesis in the lung.

Brexit Monitor: The negotiations continue
The choice of the British population to leave the EU will have significant consequences for the relationship between the EU and the UK. Our Brexit Monitor helps you keep track of the latest Brexit developments and prepare for things to come.
October 29, 2018 Economic Comment
Brexit update: entering overtime
The UK brought the Brexit talks with the EU to a stand-still on 14 October. EU's original deadline for a signed deal has been missed. We now estimate the chances of a 'hard Brexit' as almost as high as those of a deal.
Brexit update: no news is good news … and some hopeful signs
Prime Minister May of the United Kingdom survived the annual conference of the Conservative Party and that strengthens her position. The next milestone is the October EU summit and negotiations are intensifying ahead of it.
De-dramatising Salzburg
The Brexit summit of EU leaders in Salzburg on 19-20 September ended up in a drama. That is not justified but it suggests the EU and the UK lack a good understanding of each other and that raises the odds of a 'Hard Brexit' by accident.
October 01, 2018 Column
There is no such thing as a costless Brexit
Leaving the EU has direct and structural economic costs for the UK, irrespective of how the country leaves the EU. The magnitude of the impact depends on the future trade relationship they will negotiate with the EU, and a transition period could soften the blow. From that perspective it is not reassuring that with six months left before 'Brexit day' the UK is still divided over the Brexit objectives.

The village of Madrigalejo in the province of Cáceres contains the house of Santa María, where King Ferdinand V of Castile, the Catholic, died in 1516, on his way to Guadalupe.
This emblematic building is located in the so-called high neighbourhoods of Madrigalejo, and on its façade a plaque is displayed which reads: "This is where the high and powerful king Don Fernando El V, of glorious memory, died. Here in this chamber in Madrigalejo, in the house of Nuestra Señora de Santa María de Guadalupe, on Wednesday the day of Saint Ildephonsus, between three and four in the morning, when it was the twenty-third day of the month of January of 1516".
The building is an example of a typical farmhouse from the period and occupied just over a hectare. One highlight is the high-quality wooden coffering, which has resisted the passage of time without deteriorating. The house is also remarkable as the place where the monarch drew up his last will and testament, the document that would fix the pillars of Spain henceforth, and make Charles V of Germany king. Much later on, this house was also a residence of Philip II. Unfortunately only a small part of the house remains, as it was almost entirely destroyed in the 19th century. It was declared a national historical monument in 1980.

ATLANTA — Auburn has some serious fandom in Montgomery.
Just ask Central Florida senior linebacker and G.W. Carver graduate Chequan Burkett, who said will have the support off his entire family for Monday's Peach Bowl.
Burkett said he's gotten some social media messages from Auburn fans in his family,
"Everybody's here and everybody's asking for tickets," Burkett said. "They hit me up, but I try to block it out. I'm focused on the game and focused on my team. Whatever they say. If it's good, I take it in. If they're going for Auburn, it shoots past me."
Burkett was an All-Metro selection in 2012 after helping the Wolverines finish 13-2 with a loss to Opelika in the Class 6A semifinals.
Burkett took an official visit to Auburn, but elected to go to UCF instead.

UCF has gone from a Fiesta Bowl to 0-12 to an undefeated season and Peach Bowl berth in Burkett's five seasons with the Knights.
This season, he was an all-American Athletic Conference second-team selection after making a career-high 74 tackles.
"It's been a wild ride," Burkett said. "I'm truly thankful for it. It's not an experience a lot of players got to have. We've had the good, the bad and the ugly. Being able to learn those each year, I've had great teaching at the University of Central Florida."
His final season at UCF started off with an addition to the family.
Burkett was in preseason camp when his wife, Megan, went into labor with their second child, son Khyro. They also have a 1-year-old daughter, Millani.

Burkett said there are some things his family would like to do together before they leave Atlanta.
"We want to watch the peach drop and bring in the New Year together," Burkett said. "I'm not sure if we'll get the chance to see that from the hotel, but that's one thing I'd like to experience."
Burkett will have a chance to see a happy ending to what has already been a fantastic season when UCF (12-0) plays Auburn (10-3) on Monday. The game is set for an 11:30 a.m. kickoff.

Burkett said it was hard to size up the Auburn players at the team bowl contest on Friday, but he looks forward to the opportunity.
"You can see the height, but you can't see the definition in their muscles," Burkett said. "I pretty much wasn't looking. You can tell from watching film and watching live games on the size of their team."
Burkett is one of nine UCF players that got be part of the rise, fall and resurgence of their program.
Burkett said it's a memory that he'll cherish for a long time.
"I'm glad to be part of all those teams," Burkett said. "It's been amazing to play in a Fiesta Bowl, then going winless and now being undefeated. It's wonderful to be able to share that with future players and your family."
