Tunes to pump up your run!
Music or no music? Do you like to jam when you run, or do you prefer to listen to your breath and take in the sounds around you? There's no right or wrong answer – just preference! Personally, we love music and distraction when we workout. And if you're an ear bud runner, you know there's nothing like a good song to get you movin'! On race days, between the cheering crowds, live music and the combined high energy of the community, spectators and runners around us, music isn't as important (until maybe the last mile or 2 when we really need that PUSH!).
Instagram followers are a fan of music
We asked our IG peeps what they prefer and the majority are fans 👍
Science is a fan of music!
Studies have shown that music increases concentration, lowers perception of effort, and provides ongoing stimulus, making the run appear easier. An expert on the subject showed through his research that playing upbeat, loud music that you resonate with "leads to faster, longer efforts with less perceived effort." Who doesn't love that?!
Your push-it song
What song do you have ready to go when you need that final burst of energy to push through the end of a run? If you're looking for a new one to try, here are some faves from local runners:
There are so many great running songs out there! Give us county, rap, alternative, 80's, classic rock or a catchy pop song – we aren't biased!
Here are a few more songs that are currently playing on our PUMP UP playlist:
"Can't Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton) – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
"Pompe (Kat Krazy Remix)" – Bastille
"Shadow" – Macklemore
"Sex on Fire" – Kings of Leon
"It Ain't My Fault" – Brother's Osborne
"Take It All Back" – Judah & The Lion
"Uptown Funk" – Bruno Mars
Flo Rida always get us pumped (My House, Good Feeling, I Cry, Hola)
"Wake Me Up" – Avicii
"Ghost" – Ella Henderson
"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" – Whitney Houston
"Turn Down For What" – DJ Snake & Lil Jon (you really just need the first 25 seconds to get amped, then you can move on!)
What are some of YOUR favorite tunes??


The International Cricket Council today announced that the pitch for the fourth Test between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground has been rated as "poor" under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process.
ICC Match Referee Ranjan Madugalle submitted his report to the ICC expressing the concerns of the match officials over the performance of the pitch which saw Australia scoring 327 and 263 for four declared, and England scoring 491 in their only innings.
This report has been forwarded to Cricket Australia, who now have 14 days to provide their response.
The MCG Test was the last Test to be rated under the current ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process, with a revised process coming into effect in men's and women's international cricket from Thursday, 4 January 2018, following the conclusion of the New Zealand versus Windies T20I series which ends in Mount Maunganui on Wednesday.
The major change in the revised ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process is to the sanctioning system for venues which present substandard conditions for international matches. If a pitch or outfield is rated as being substandard, that venue will be allocated a number of demerit points.
When a venue accumulates five demerit points, it will be suspended from hosting any international cricket for a period of 12 months, while a venue will be suspended from staging any international cricket for 24 months when it reaches the threshold of 10 demerit points.

Mats Zuccarello's Ceiling
By Patrick Serao |
In March of 2013, Mats Zuccarello agreed to terms on a 1 year deal with the New York Rangers, the team he left at the end of the 11-12 season. Many wondered if the Rangers would re-sign him since he didn't fit in John Tortorella's style of play.
Well, Glen Sather had other plans in firing Torts and bringing back the Norwegian Dynamo. The feeling was mutual as Zucc knew the Rangers were in a salary cap bind, but he wanted to be a part of this team. So he took less money (1.15m per year) to stay on Broadway. The contract had a "Let my play dictate my salary" type feel. Well, during the 2013-2014 campaign, the rugged little winger excelled mightily.
Zuccarello is set to be an RFA for the New York Rangers, and I think it's pretty clear he earned himself a nice paycheck after he led the team in scoring during the regular season (59 pts in 77 games) and almost carried them to the Cup on his little 5'7 stature.
Assuming he stays in New York, what is the most we can expect from the player known as "The Hobbit"? Well, I believe it starts with his line-mates. This season he played with Derrick Brassard (RFA) and Beniot Pouliot (UFA), both of whom are also set to be Free Agents.
Zuccarello was at his best while playing with these two and was a huge spark plug for the entire team. With much change coming to Broadway this off-season, Mats might have to adjust to playing with a new winger and/or center next year.
Will Mats Zuccarello be the NYR's leading scorer again? That would be tough with players like Martin St. Louis and Rick Nash on the team. Still, it's hard to simply dismiss the notion. However, I believe we will see him hit a 70-75 point season in the near future.
I think having another small guy like Martin St. Louis in the locker room can also help the Norwegian forward. When you're smaller than everyone else on the ice you have to make up for it in other areas, like with speed and elusiveness.
Some even better news for his potential is the fact that last year was only his first full season in the NHL. He also excelled for Norway at the Olympics, although they didn't succeed in medaling. I think he proved himself big time by being the only NHL Player on that team and performing against the world's best the way he did.
So banking on the hope that the Rangers re-sign the 26 year old winger from Norway, I'd expect even better things to come out of him in the next few seasons.

HoReCa sees 15pc rise in exhibitors
An influx of new exhibitors is expected to raise by 15 per cent the number of participants in HoReCa 2002 - the Levant's ninth hospitality and food service exhibition being held in Beirut on April 9-13.
Joumana Dammous-Salame, managing director of organising company Hospitality Services said there has been avid interest in the show from international exhibitors with more than 35 newcomers from the Gulf already onboard.
"We expect to have over 265 exhibitors at HoReCa 2002," said Salame.
Countries with their own pavilion at HoReCa 2002 include the UK, Italy and Belgium. Other countries represented through local or regional companies include France, Holland, Canada, Austria, Germany and Jordan.
HoReCa 2002, held under the patronage of Lebanese president Emile Lahoud, is also moving to BIEL, a new exhibition centre at the heart of the Beirut Central District.
In addition, the exhibition is being divided into two main events: The "Levant Trade Show for the Hospitality and Foodservice Industries" and the "International Food and Drink Exhibition".
Other activities on the agenda include the now customary "Hospitality Salon Culinaire", which features an annual chefs competition, an alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages bartending competition and a "Job Meeting Point" designed to bring employers together with the industry's potential brightest newcomers.

Located in Canada's beautiful Muskoka region, the Carling Residence was built for a young couple looking to leave the city behind. The 3600 square foot home is set into a rustic forest on the shores of the Georgian Bay. The clients' aspiration for their new permanent residence was to create a comfortable, modern and sustainable home that would respect, and become part of, the terrain of their 26-acre lot. Entrusted with the clients' vision TACT Architecture crafted a calm and elegant design. Particular care was taken to site the home to optimize the landscape's natural features while preserving the natural topography. The house nestles itself into a clearing between two ridges of rock to the east and west. Set amongst the towering trees the house benefits from their natural shade and privacy while still allowing for spectacular views of the forest and Georgian Bay.


It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades — all before his suicide at age 41. In November a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing will be released, based on the classic biography by Dr. Andrew Hodges, who teaches mathematics at Wadham College, University of Oxford (he is also an active contributor to the mathematics of fundamental physics). Hodges tells how Turing's revolutionary idea of 1936 — the concept of a universal machine — laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design.

Q: Load html by click into div using query with href I'm trying to change content in a div depending on a href-clicking. I'm a newbie at freeform scritpting so please be gentle on me.
So, I have this index.html with a
 where I load three different local html pages (menu.html) -> restaurant menus. At the head of each menu.html I would like to have -links for changing menu in the  placed in the index.html.
My question is:
How to I call for index.html once my href-link that I call with my script is situated inside of menu.html?
So far I have:

*

*index.html loads the menu 'alacarte.html' in div id: 'result' by default.

*I want to press link in 'alacarte.html' that makes say 'pizza.html' load in index.html div id: 'result'.

*I really want the links to be placed graphically on top of the say 'pizza.html'-page.

In my index.html I have:

And in the menu page 'alacarte.html'

     PIZZA

     A LA CARTE

BEVERAGE

I hope you can follow my futile explanation. How should I do it?
Please help!

A: Since you are loading items dynamically into index.html, you should use the .on() method to bind and listen to events. You do not need to include any further jQuery in the individual pages themselves.
For your menu, I suggest including the hyperlinks as intended in the href attribute, and then use e.preventDefault() to stop the default behavior.

     PIZZA

     A LA CARTE

    BEVERAGE

In your index.html, you can take advantage of the .on() method:
$(function() {
    // Use .on() to bind click even on dynamically added elements
    $(document).on('click', '.menu-navbar a', function(e) {

        // Prevents default behavior
        // Clicking on  will not redirect the page
        e.preventDefault();

        // Get hyperlink, and load page
        $('#result').load($(this).attr('href'));
    });

    // Load the first link by default, when DOM is ready
    $('#result').load('alacarte.html');
});

Newfoundland author Gary Collins has written a total of ten books now; one of his most recent was Left to Die (2014 Flanker Press), the compelling account of the SS Newfoundland sealing disaster of 1914 in which 78 of 132 men stranded on the ice died. He is also the co-author (along with his granddaughter Maggie Rose Parsons) of What Colour is the Ocean? Gary took some time away from his various pursuits to answer a few questions for the Miramichi Reader.
Miramichi Reader: Tell us about some of the books or authors (or others) that influenced you to become a writer.
Gary Collins: Reading the old 'Classic' comic books is my first recollection of wanting to know about things beyond the hills of our village. I read everything from the milk can labels – there was no fresh milk – to my mother's Family Herald magazines. In my teens I read Thomas Hardy, anything by Steinbeck and Nicholas Monsarrat.
I began writing eulogies for family and friends, spent a few years doing feature articles for the NL Herald. It led to manuscripts and books.
My influence to write comes from my parents kitchen and the old story tellers who gathered there on winter nights. They told of great Black bears who stole loaves of bread from beneath their tired bunks. And of storms at sea under sail, so vivid I could feel the sting of it on my young skin. I remember the hush of the lamplight softening their ruggedness; the blue smoke from their 'Target' cigarettes being drawn upwards to the seam in the ceiling stovepipe. It is a wondrous memory to draw from. I have always tried to write stories as well as they told them. Their wonderful art of orally telling stories is dying.
MR: Do you have a favourite book (or books), one that you like to revisit from time to time?
GC: I never tire of reading Conrad's 'The Secret Sharer', Montserrat's 'Master Mariner' and Adele Wiseman's 'The Sacrifice'. I read Wilbur Smith and Michael Crummy among many others. I read several books at a time in separate rooms.
MR: Which of your many books do you consider favourites, or best representative of your body of work?
GC: My favorite book to write was Mattie Mitchell–Newfoundland's Greatest Frontiersman. My entire life has been a love for the outdoors. To me, wilderness is a state of mind. You do not need angry mother Grizzlies chasing you to be there. It can be found beyond any fence or Alder bed, lining any highway, by anyone. You have only to let it be there.
MR: If you could write a biography of any person, living or dead, what person(s) would you like to do a book on?
GC: I would love to follow the trail of the last Beothuk male Indian who lived on our island. The fear and absolute dismay of having no one. What a sad gloaming that must have been. It is on my list!
MR: What is next? Are you working on something now?
GC: I have just sent to my publisher Flanker Press a new manuscript. It will be published this Fall. It is called 'Desperation'. It involves a ship wrecked in the winter of 1867 on an island, bleak and barren, off our coast. The shipwreck was only the start of the crews horrors. It ended with cannibalism! And terrible death to all.
MR: What do you like to do when you are not writing?
GC: I have two log cabins, built by own hand – without nails – with chainsaw and axe. One is near the highway, the other reached only by canoe or snowmobile. My greatest pleasure is to sit at the table by the moonlit window, at either of them, pen in hand; wine burnished by lamplight, the kettle on the stove at my back humming softly to the tune of the night. The naked page – never feared – awaits.
I love boating, on the open sea, canoeing on pond and river, hunting, travel, playing guitar and family events.

Alexander, I wanted to let you know I began to read your pre-publication manuscript of NFAA. I'm sorry I haven't been able to sooner. I've just been struggling with connectivity out here in the boonies. I thought I'd give you some feedback anyway.
I've only made it through the prolouge and a couple of pages after that so I can't give too much feedback yet. I do like the readability at the site where your manuscript is located. Even with the little bit I read, your style immediately reminded me a lot of one of my favorite authors, Jeanette Winterson, especially her novel, Sexing the Cherry. Like she did in this novel, you do also in the beginning of your book, that is tell not show when admitting to telling a story. It takes special skill to be able to tell the reader the writer is telling a story. I was impressed how you pulled this off in the beginning of the story.
Thanks for making your book available to those of us who love to read!
I've sent the manuscript to you via email–hope it helps you read it.
Send that info to me, ok?

Stanford's Graduate School of Business has seen the gigabytes on the wall. Still running the most selective residential MBA program in the country, GSB has nonetheless taken online education into a full embrace. It's built cutting-edge digital production suites, hired a dozen ed-techies to work with professors to create and deliver content, and now announced its largest online offering to date: the executive education LEAD Certificate in Corporate Innovation.
LEAD – "Learn, Engage, Accelerate, Disrupt" – is no MOOC, school officials hasten to emphasize. Admission is highly selective, targeting a maximum of 100 students drawn from the cream of the working professional crop.
"This is aimed at people at any level within an organization who are wanting to challenge the status quo and really drive innovation in an established organization," says Audrey Witters, GSB's managing director of online executive education.
The program, intended to be finished within a year and requiring about five hours of work per week, may appeal to those who would consider it a "more attractive option" than an online MBA or an executive MBA, Witters says.
Fittingly, as LEAD focuses on innovation within organizations, GSB spokesperson Barbara Buell says the offering is part of a drive by the school to become a leader in digital teaching.
Though costing, at $16,000, more than 10 times what Harvard Business School charges for its $1,500 nine-week Credential of Readiness online undergraduate course unveiled this year, and more than four times the cost of Wharton's new $3,700 eight-week online exec ed program, LEAD tuition is a relative bargain compared to the $62,500 GSB requires for its six-week residential exec ed program.
Among other skills, participants can learn how to use neuroscience to persuade colleagues to adopt a new vision for a company.
Ten to 15 GSB professors will teach LEAD via a platform from Novoed, an online education company founded by former Stanford engineering professor Amin Saberi and Stanford doctoral student Farnaz Ronaghi, who is on leave from her Stanford PhD studies on incentives in social networks.
Integrating real-time class discussions, feedback from GSB faculty, instructional video, online exercises, team collaborations, and events live-streamed from the GSB, LEAD includes three foundational courses, Financing Innovation: The Creation of Value; Critical Analytical Thinking; and Strategic Leadership. Students will select five electives from 10 offered, including Design Thinking: Building Brands Inside Out; Startup Garage for Intrapraneurs (people taking an entrepreneurial approach within their organizations); Business Model Design; and Using Neuroscience to Influence Behavior.
The latter elective is intended to teach a person how to "get into the minds of the other people in the organization to help convince them and help them see your vision," Witters says.
Because participants will be working on changing their organizations while taking the course, they'll be able to apply their learning immediately, and get feedback from professors and peers about the actions they're taking or planning to take at work as they attempt to innovate, Witters says.
Participants will each receive two 360-degree leadership assessments, with coaching in between. Silicon Valley business leaders will take part in live-streamed panels and lectures. LEAD involves about 200 hours of content and faculty engagement, according to GSB.

Following the success of last year's edition, the route for the 2016 Tour of Spain was announced on Saturday (January 9) looking to replicate that success.
Last year, Italian Fabio Aru pushed early leader Tom Dumoulin all the way through the race and finally claimed success on the penultimate day to claim his first Grand Tour victory.
The 2015 race, which also passed through Andorra, was seen by many as one of the best in recent years due to the ongoing competition that went down to the wire.

Save8Rally - 6 Points that Prove that 9k and Not 100k Marched
Date: Mon, 2018-03-12 16:04
Saturday March 10th saw an anti-choice march pass through Dublin, part of their campaign to try to maintain the status quo where pregnant people and doctors can be jailed for 14 years for taking abortion pills in this country while others are denied control of their own maternity care. Polls show that few people support this position and its 'let women die' implications so the anti-choice campaign is trying to create the fiction of mass support in the hope that people will be more inclined to vote No.
Aware of this, WSM decided to put together a team to go out and document the march for ourselves including physically counting everyone who marched and using other techniques that give a good estimate of the numbers marching. Below we will bring you through the results of each of these counts and estimates but the headline item is that when the organisers claimed 100k had marched this was a blatant lie that we will show is even physically impossible. We counted 8930 marchers. All of the other methods we used also limited the maximum size of the march to less than 15,000.
Turkey invades Afrin in another attempt to snuff out Rojava revolution
Date: Tue, 2018-02-06 16:29
The Turkish invasion of revolutionary Rojava has now entered its 17th day. NATO's 2nd largest army has failed to achieve any significant breakthrough against the defenders of Afrin despite deploying some of the most advanced tanks, helicopters, artillery and jet bombers. On our graphic the small map at top centre shows Turkey in orange, the tiny blue area under Turkey is the canton of Afrin, the target of this invasion and one of the 3 original cantons of the Rojava revolution. These cantons are where the experiment in direct democracy, gender equality, and sustainability began in 2012 in the most impossible conditions of the Syrian civil war and the ISIS invasion of two of the cantons.
Finally a Referendum to Repeal the 8th - Organising Made this Happen
The announcement that there will be a referendum to Repeal the hated 8th amendment is the product of decades of active campaigning. Pro-choice campaigners built for repeal ever since the referendum was passed in 1983. If at first this seemed like a distant demand now repeal looks by far the most likely outcome in May. The story of how this happened illustrates how change comes in general. That is not through elections but through people getting organised to demand that change, regardless of which politicians happen to be running the show in any particular year.

Undocumented youth organising in Ireland - Young Paperless & Powerful speak out
There are an estimated 20 to 26,000 undocumented people living in Ireland, as many of 5000 of them being children and young people. People in Ireland are generally horrified by the Trump's administrations war on the undocumented in the US but perhaps not so aware that exactly the same situation has been created by government policy here.

Dublin march demands end to Direct Provision, No Deportations and the Right to Work - Video
The Direct Provision institutions were introduced as a supposedly temporary measure in 2000. 17 years later they are still with us and some have spent over a decade trapped in the institutional isolation and poverty they create. Adult residents receive €21.60 a week and some like Mosney are in isolated locations with no transport connections. Visitors are controlled and there are little or no cooking facilities which means the children who have grown up there have seldom tasted their parents cooking and have been unable to have friends sleep over.

US ambush video crew at March for Choice turn out to be extremists who want death penalty for women who have abortions
The March for Choice saw another another sinister anti-choice video crew in operation. The last time on investigation they turned out to be an far-right crew who subsequently worked with Tommy Robinson, ex leader of the EDL. This time the accents were American rather than British and on investigation we discovered they are an extremist anti-choice church, one of this crew has even told media they want women who have had abortions to be executed. [Video report]
As with the previous crew their method is to try and get participants to agree to be interviewed without revealing their extreme anti-choice views. As you will see in the video when challenged as to who they are they tried to vaguely pass themselves off as a TV studio and then Facebook stream. When people agreed to be interviewed after a few sympathetic appearing questions they were suddenly ambushed with very hostile language in the hope that their targets either don't notice or get flustered. The goal is to then broadcast edited footage of flustered or hostile pro-choice people to try and dehumanise us and urge their own followers to fanaticism.
March for Choice 2017 - report & video
Date: Wed, 2017-10-04 14:55
Saturday the 30th of September 2017 will go down as a high point in the fight for abortion rights in the Republic, and that is a struggle that stretches back decades. Years of campaigning and maintaining a focus on the issue, saw a massive crowd of nearly 30,000 people take to the streets for the annual March for Choice as organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign (ARC). The calls are for action, and the need for Repeal of the 8th Amendment.
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice... Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality


March 8, 2019 (GLENNALLEN, Alaska) – Earlier this week, following a plea deal with the state, two men pled guilty in a Glennallen court to five misdemeanors relating to an illegal hunt. The investigation done by the Alaska Wildlife Troopers began Sept. 17, 2018 following a report of two partially salvaged moose located in the area of Tangle Lakes.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers responded in a State aircraft to the area and found a partially salvaged cow moose and a partially salvaged bull moose. Due to a thorough and lengthy investigation, the Wildlife Troopers identified two suspects for questioning. In early January, Anchorage residents Chris Bowman, age 27, and Jeff Lanners, age 23, were each issued a summons to appear in Glennallen District Court on multiple charges including the taking of a cow moose without a permit, failure to salvage game meat, removing antlers before meat, and unlawful possession and transportation. The case was prosecuted by the Office of Special Prosecutions.
On March 5, 2019, Bowman and Lanners were sentenced to a $15,000 fine with $10,000 suspended. They were ordered to forfeit the rifle, canoe, and motor because the items were used in the illegal take of the cow moose. They were further ordered to forfeit the unlawfully taken moose meat and the antlers of the bull moose. Additionally, both defendants' hunting privileges were revoked for one year.
The Alaska Wildlife Troopers would like to remind hunters to promptly self-report any violations to the nearest Alaska Wildlife Trooper Post.

A diagram for a typical system would usually be very large. Although visually very impressive, modifying the diagram would be very intimidating to the end users, and for this reason we usually factor systems into subsystems, subsystems into functions, and so forth.
Factoring a system into subsystems and functions is old concepts based on the rule of divide and conquer! Unfortunately we tend to do this without any rhyme on reason. The result is invariably a collection of illogical subsystems.
Combining all logical units, which form functions in the physical working procedure, should be the basis for bringing about the division of the system.
There is only one symbol: the process in the diagram. The processes are connected to form a treelike structure.
The top process is called the root, representing the entire system for which you are defining requirements. The root process is explored or factored into subsystems, functions and tasks. The number of exploded levels will depend upon the size of the project. Each process in the diagram should be named in such a way that it depicts the action performed by the process very clearly to the reader of the diagram.
(i) The root process is numbered 0.
(ii) The root process is factored into processes that are numbered consecutively as 1, 2, 3... and so on.
(iii) With subsequent factoring (also called leveling) of any process into sub processes, each sub process is numbered as the decimal of the parent process.

Mechagojira no Gyakushu / Mechagodzilla's Counterattack
Ishirō Honda
Review by Leo Goldsmith
Source Netflix VOD
And so it ends … at least for now.
Terror of Mechagodzilla, the fifteenth Godzilla film, is also the last of the original Showa series, and the last to be directed by its creator, Ishirō Honda. After a couple of commercial disappointments and dimming creative wattage, it finally came time for Toho to box up the rubber suit (if only for about a decade).
In this way, it's a film of many lasts. It's also the last film in which Akihiko Hirata would inhabit the role of the Interchangeable Mad Scientist, which he had perfected over a half-dozen other Godzilla films (including the original, in which he appears as the heroic one-eyed Dr. Serizawa). Hirata here plays mad scientist Dr. Mafune, and it's a somewhat complex character who is both cavalier about exterminating the human race and also a little pitiable. It's also one of the last - for a while, at least - to portray Godzilla as a good guy—the Heisei series, beginning in the 1980s, would return Godzilla to his status as a villain, perhaps mercifully expunging the excessively kid-friendly vibe of the late Showa films.
But while Terror of Mechagodzilla is not exactly a good film, it at least veers into slightly darker territory than some of the later Showa efforts. Once again, we have the old Monster Zero plot of an invading alien force, this time from the soon-to-be-vaporized Third Planet from the Black Hole, who scheme to use both an undersea dinosaur named Titanosaurus (under remote control by Dr. Mafune and a recovered and rebuilt Mechagodzilla to devastate planet Earth and pave way for new residents. This begins a complex plot whereby Interpol agent Murakoshi and oceanologist Ichinose from the "Ocean Exploitation Institute" seek out the truth about Titanosaurus and what's making it blow up submarines and menace Japan with its hideous shriek and large fan-tail.
Of course, Planet Earth has two good weapons against Titanosaurus: Godzilla, for one, but also a super-sonic wave oscillator, which, they discover, is able to deter the aquatic dinosaur. This being consistent with earlier efforts, however, many minutes of plot-time must be taken up by complications and love-matches, but the film here is at least somewhat inventive by staging a possible romance between Ichinose and Mafune's daughter Katsura. Like her father, Katsura is also conflicted, not least because she is part cyborg, and therefore partly controlled by the aliens. There is even a scene - cut for the US versions - in which Katsura's inner machinery is fixed and her breasts are revealed. These are in fact prosthetic breasts, and not the actress Tomoko Ai's natural ones, but still there is something distinctly desperate about this particular first among all of the film's many lasts.
Naturally, Katsura's robotic nature makes her a good controller for Mechagodzilla who, once repaired, tag-teams with Titanosaurus in a reasonably good final match-up against our hero. The two evil titans descend on Tokyo and, just as Titanosaurus is about to step on two curious young boys, Godzilla comes jogging out to kick ass, and the battle ensues. There is much humiliation. After an initial head-to-head with Titanosaurus that finds Godzilla in the lead, Mechagodzilla plays dirty with a combination of rainbow-laser-eyes and projectile-missile fingers. (These are identified by the human characters as "new weapons," but are in fact only a subtle variation on those of the previous film.) Godzilla down, Titanosaurus then bites him on the mouth, rather implausibly picks him up by the jaws, and then tosses him down, celebrating this victory by a trumpety laugh that sounds rather like the undignified braying of an elephant. They then bury Godzilla under a mound of dirt, which Titanosaurus then jumps up and down on repeatedly. But then, in what might be precisely measured as a nick of time, the sonic beam is fixed, Titanosaurus is hobbled, and Godzilla is back in action to resoundingly (and rather quickly) defeat them both.
There is a shot at the film's climax in which we see Godzilla walking out to sea, and perhaps with the foreknowledge of a sense of finality this shot houses some bittersweet quality. But maybe not, or at least Honda chooses not to milk it. Maybe there's something classy about this—as with most of Godzilla films, there's not much point dwelling on the denouement once the monsters are defeated and Tokyo (or wherever) lies in rubble.

One of the most visited buildings in Varna, the Aquarium, stands practically..
The elegant building of the Drama Theatre was created during the first half of the 20th Century. The idea for this place belongs to the mayor of Varna at the time – Ivan Tserov. The construction started on the 26thof March 1912.
The initial design for the building belongs to the architect Nicola Lazarov. However, the Balkan wars (1912-1913) and the First world war (1914-1918) as well as the economic crisis after the war, halted the construction for some time.
The actual Varna Opera House was registered under the name of Varna Public Opera House on 6th April, 1947 and was officially opened on 1st August of the same year. Stefan Nikolaev was appointed as its first Director and Peter Raichev, the famous Bulgarian singer, was invited as the first Art Director.
Being an experienced artist with a good command of the staging and directing process, Peter Raichev selected fifteen young, talented and enthusiastic singers for the soloist cast. An orchestra, a choir and a ballet group were also formed under the leadership of the young conductor Ruslan Raichev, the choir-master Dimiter Mladenov and the choreographer Assen Manolov. The cast, including the stage designers Asen Popov and Vladimir Misin, prepared the first stage production - the opera "The Bartered Bride" by B. Smetana, within less than a month!
The history of the Varna Opera was marked by the contributions of many conductors, singers, ballet dancers, composers, directors, choreographers, and scenery designers.
The summing-up of the fifty-year-record of the Varna opera house amounts to over 200 productions and nearly 7000 performances for more than three millions of spectators!
The ballets "Spartacus" by A. Khachaturian (1977) and "Arabian Nights" by F. Amirov (1983), etc.
In order to broaden its audience, the troupe staged a number of operettas, mainly the classics in the genre: Offenbach, Strauss, Lehar, Kalman, etc. The opera house has also staged modern musicals and a number of children`s productions.
The Varna Opera is a regular participant in the international music festival Varna Summer and a number of other art forums. The achievements of the casts who staged "The Marriage of Figaro" and "Macbeth" were awarded the Varna Prize. At the National Reviews of Opera and Ballet Art in Stara Zagora, the Varna Opera received awards for the productions of "Prince Igor", "Der fliegende Hollander", "Simone Boccanegra". In 1995 the first production of I. Stravinsky`s "Oedipus Rex" received the Premiere of the Year award of the Allegro Vivace show of Bulgarian National Radio.
The numerous tours of distinguished Bulgarian and foreign singers are a credit to the Varna opera: Gena Dimitrova, Nikolay Giaourov, Raina Kabaivanska, Nikola Gyuzelev, Anna Tomova-Sintova, Maria Corelli, Peter Glosop, Elena Nikolay, Ava June Cooper, Zinaida Paly, Nicolae Herlea, Elena Obrastzova, Vladimir Atlantov, Emil Ivanov, Vesselina Katzarova, Galina Savova, Ivan Konsulov, and others.
Festival and Congress Center - Varna (800 seats).

At St Clement's Hospital
Members of City of London & Cripplegate Photographic Society were invited to record the interior of the disused St Clement's Hospital in Mile End last year. Originally opened as the City of London Union Workhouse in 1849, it was converted to an Infirmary in 1874 and renamed St Clement's Hospital in 1936, being used as a psychiatric unit in recent years, before closing finally in 2005.
An initiative is being launched by East London Community Land Trust to convert the building to affordable housing, but in the meantime it lies in magnificent dereliction and an exhibition of these other-wordly photographs opens tomorrow, Thursday 28th February, at the Genesis Cinema.

A beautiful building that would provide wonderful homes , such a shame it has been so abused and — what are the feet all about ?
Thank you for showing us some of its history, absorbing as usual.

What an amazing place – will go to exhibition.
Would love to do some drawing there – any idea who I could contact?
Caroline Bottomley permalink
Oh those lovely bannisters and stairways!
And what are the feet?!!!
Libby Hall permalink
I worked at St. Clements for awhile in the early 70s (when I had thought I wanted to be a psychiatric nurse.) These revelatory photographs bring back gloomy memories (memories which were also reluctantly nudged into my consciousness two weeks ago with the illustrations from the surgical appliances catalogue.)
I do have some happy memories though, of the time working at St. Clements – of the bus journeys to, and specially FROM, work. I loved that bit of London at the time.
Teresa Stokes permalink
How weird are those feet coming out of the wall! Reminds me of Roman Polanski's film Repulsion. I guess we'll never know now, what on earth that's all about!
Here is another set of almost identical photos of a hospital in Ireland which also closed recently, found them when looking at buildings designed by my architect great grandfather James Franklin Fuller:

Great photos, the first one is absolutely wonderful and kind of looks inviting, though obviously it was never the place to be. These places were often handy for the cemetery.
I wish I were near enough to visit the exhibition.
Ian permalink
I, too, would have loved to see the exhibition. There's something so melancholy about these once majestic buildings being left to rot. Whatever happens to it, I hope it does it justice.
And, working for the NHS myself, I see photos like this and wonder at all the stuff that was LEFT! It must cost the organisation a small fortune in wastage, even if half the things are outdated. We still use beds like the ones left in the corridor, and they ain't cheap! ((We do have some state of the art ones, too, I hasten to add.)
Vanessa permalink
Ian – that's funny, I was thinking about all the wastage myself, especially the beds!? Plus pinboards, whiteboards, filing units etc. etc. etc. all the still useful things left behind. NHS needs a WASTE TSAR!
Tanya permalink
I live in Canada but visit London regularly. There is an abandoned hospital on Hackney Road next to the City Farm. I'd love to know more about that one. I often think it would make great condominiums but I suppose it is too far gone for renovation.
joan permalink
Throughout my childhood St Clement's was used as a threat: 'the men in white coats from St Clement's will come and get you'; 'lock the doors someone has escaped from St Clement's'. And I remember occasionally someone dishevelled and pyjama clad would be spied on the Mile End Road and assumed to be an 'escapee'. Fortunately attitudes to mental health have moved on since the 70s and it is so good to see the building being prepared for a new life. Weird, though, how it looks as if everyone left in a hurry.
Paula PM permalink
Wonderful photo essay. But please, could someone explain the feet?! I'm very curious to know.
Joyce Fenton-Douglas permalink
. . . no wonder psychiatric treatment ends up being cyclical . . .
Cherub permalink
I vaguely remember references to St Clements when I was mature student at Queen Mary College in the early to mid 90s, but I never knew where in Mile End it was.
sprite permalink
Whaoo! I did my psychiatric placement as a general nurse at St Clements, the ward located at the back overlooking the cemetary. We used to take some patients to the cemetary which felt more like a jungle as it still does.
To Tanya: the hospital next to the City Farm was a children's hospital and was part of Great Ormond Street. I believe it is soon to be renovated and transformed into flats but don't quote me on that. It was a wonderful hospital really serving the then still poor population of the East End.
There is a story on how it came to be made redundant but I don't have any proof of it either. It goes like this: the Royal London Hospital which is just down the road only had two children's wards. A policeman whose child was admitted there fell in love with one of the sister of the wards and starting fundraising like mad to help the Royal London build a dedicated children's unit. No one at the time seemed to take any notice that Queen Elizabeth's hospital in Hackney Road was already fulfilling this role. This fragmentation of services used to send some of us mad when considering all the waste and poor allocation of resources.
Furthermore the children unit at the Royal London was built in the courtyard, tremendously reducing the only green space available to the whole hospital. It had been a joy to so many as balconies run along the back of all the wards built in a U shape around that green and the statue of Princess Alexandra.
But as Queen Elizabeth's, the shell of the Royal London is now all boarded up since the wards moved onto new premises, to what is at present the most modern hospital in the UK, with the only helipad for the whole of Inner London.
It looks like derelict hospitals of the East End might well become the subject of future posts.
acute ward –
staffing level here too
in-a-de-quate!
Ros permalink
Yes, evocative and melancholy photos, and a sheaf of interesting comments – don't forget either that some people benefitted from their care at St Clements. I know at least 3 people, both in-patients and out-patients, who experienced it as a kind and caring place. And when are we going to learn about those feet??
Jenx permalink
Yes, I'd like to know about the feet too!!
Neil permalink
V good. Reminds me of some of the work in William Eckersley's 'Left London' book.
Rae permalink
I did my psychiatric placement here in the mid 1980s, and the place has haunted me ever since. Some of the shots, of the stairs particularly, are deeply evocative. I worked in several old workhouses which were partsof the NHS still at that time.
Jean Jameson permalink
I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to the queries about my photograph of the feet. I wanted to find out the story behind them and contacted an occupational therapist who worked there for ten years. She doesn't remember exactly how the feet project came about, but she said they were very creative in the department and used many different materials and mediums in their therapeutic work. I have to fall back on my own guesswork, which is that a plaster cast was made of people's feet, then they decorated them and the finished ones were arranged as an 'installation', as we found them. If I find out any more, I will let you know! If anyone wants to add to our project – oral histories or just memories of St Clement's, please do get in contact with me – jmjoiseau@yahoo.co.uk. What started out just as a photographic shoot is turning into much more story telling with service users and staff, through the Friends of St Clements.
Mark permalink
I used to work there as a nurse. I wonder if they found my fags.
Rachel Joyce permalink
The feet were made at the Occupational Therapy department with the patients. I worked there and am still in the mental health unit. St Clements is a beautiful place.
Vicki permalink
It's such a shame that this historical building will be turned into flats, all the history in there will be bought down to provide homes.Its ashame that it cant be turned into a museum and provide work for the youth of the area in mile end.
Jane permalink
I worked at St Clements for a couple of years as an Occupational Therapy Assistant before I eventually did my OT training. I worked on Ansell Ward right at the back from about 1995-97. It felt really run down even then with loads of disused, boarded up areas. Amazing building though but not so nice to be a patient!
Fleur Disney permalink
I'm fascinated by both abandoned buildings and issues relating to mental health, and I'd love to collate people's memories about St Clements for a short film project. If anyone would like to contribute or assist with the short film, please contact me on fleurdisney@yahoo.co.uk
Wendy permalink
I did one of my student nurse placements at St Clements hospital between 1994-1997. Its a shame these old historical buildings become disused and no longer fit for purpose. I lived in the old nurses home in Stepney Way, Whitechapel and it broke my heart when I visited to see it had been knocked down and with it all the history erased (like the famous walkway which was built during the Jack the Ripper times so the nurses could reach the nurses home safely. It has now been replaced with the new skyscraper hospital. Im sure the facilities are now excellent, but it brings a little sadness to see these many buildings, which have so much history flattened.
Mary Woods (nee Bell) permalink
As a student nurse at The London Hospital between 1973-1976 I was allocated a 3 month placement at St Clements.
I remember enjoying my time there despite feeling very naive regarding mental health. My eyes were open to the sufferings of those with mental health issues. Some shifts were very intense as the ward I worked on was an acute ward and patients were often admitted in crisis.
The Occupational Therapy department stands out in my memory as being very dynamic and most patients enjoyed the activities available.
Yes, it would be lovely to preserve something of St Clements and it's history.
Zohaib Tasawer permalink
Is it possible for me to go and visit this hospital and possibly go in aswell to take photos? I think what is going on inside is great, I've always had a passion for photographing old abandoned buildings.

I hope they leave the building on the main road as it is, and build around it.
It could be a lovely building if brought back to life.
Darren Owen permalink
As from the 1st October 2014, the transport company I am a truck driver for have started hauling away the foundations and brickwork from the wing on the right side which is now flattened (this was the wing which was bombed in WW2). I don't know whether the whole of the hospital will be flattened for new housing but it's a shame because it is a place of character.

I worked in this place putting the gas on for the new builds, 19/08/ 2015. they found a tunnel from the hospital going to the grave yard behind the building, and was told to block it up quick, if anybody finds this place someware to live with all that's gone on here then fair play to you, ps don't call me call a vicare

Am currently researching psychiatric nurse training, at St Clements hospital in the late 1980;A/1990. As a qualified R P N, myself from ireland,I would be grateful for any assistance, on this subject. London holds such history,especially the east end, so I hope someone out there Willread this request. At St Patrick's psychiatric hospitlal
spital Dublin this quotation can be found, "He gave what little wealth he had, to build a house for fool;s and mad, and showed by one satirical touch, nation wanted it so much."Johnathan Swift".

My son is currently working on this building,he sent me some pics of the older part of building. It looks from the outside to have been an impressive building. Shame it couldn't be restored as a complete project instead of flats. Maybe a museum or small hotel or hostel.
Michelle permalink
Wow, seeing these pictures really brought back memories for me. I did several placements there as a student nurse on Green ward and Lansbury ward between 1993-1996. In fact, it was here that I decided I wanted to go into mental health nursing rather than general nursing. I have many memories of this place and whilst it was a bit run- down even then,it had such character and it was here that I learnt such a lot from all the staff and patients that I met. Wish I could've had a wander round before it all got knocked down, just for nostalgia sake.

I have just moved into the St Clements development. I have enjoyed reading the comments on this site. The developers have done a good job keeping the features/fixtures and lines of the building.
It is a robust building and will surely stand the test of time and be a tribute to its mixed past (Bow Institution, Asylum, Hospital). Originally attracted to the building now called the Lodge (it was the Morgue) , now in one of the older blocks with a turret tower and plenty of long windows. I too wonder what happened to the feet and the 'white chair'?
gerald Brown permalink
lovely such a shame
Catherine Morris permalink
They have kept the most beautiful parts of the building and it does look nice. I'm not sure I could live in a place that held such unhappiness but that is probably just superstition. Mind you, I did hear that one of the builders said that, after working on the development, you couldn't pay him to live there 🙂
Kaz permalink
I still live Opposit the St Clements building. They broke it down in a rush and made new building but my main question is that. Why didn't these photographers go underground or were they not aloud? In our childhood we always hear and see it in my time visiting there once for a friend that was a patient all the doors or stairways were locked down or blocked. Heard creepy stories how last stage patients used to get finished off there. I wonder if that bit is still left abondoned and did they clean it up? Heard so many creepy stories about that place and every time I walk pass it reminds me of the old building. I would love to talk about that building in one of my Vlogs. My YT Channel is Kaziology Vlogs btw if anyone has any stories to tell plz get in touch with me I will feature you in a video on telling stories. Contact me kajalmiah@hotmail.com

Ian Ford permalink
I worked at St.Clements between 1990 and 1998 and have only the fondest memories of this hospital at a transition phase between an "institution" and a move to community. Psychiatric care at that time was a mixed bag, it helped so many and let down so many too, but everything moves on, hopefully for the better. I miss its atmosphere, its people and whatever its legacy proves to be I can only say it will be forever in my heart.

I too was a student psychiatric nurse who worked on several of the wards and lived in the student accommodation there . It was much more relaxed than the nurses homes up the road at the Royal London site where wardens manned the front doors and visitors of the opposite sex were not allowed up to your room. I was there at the same time as Selva and Ismay N-P as she was before her marriage to Selva( see previous post). To be reminded of old friends from our small set , the two lads Clive and ?, Hilary, Margaret A , Sally, Katherine B and sister K. Fortune and the lovely Irish lass, Breda brought back fond memories. We always went down to the canteen before starting shifts and were served with the thickest porridge imaginable. Yes the building was old even then in the early 1970's but some of the talking treatments and community ethos were leading edge in their day.

I used to visit my Uncle here in the late 80s and I must say that the thought of St Clements does not make me feel at ease although it does bring back varying feelings of nostalgia for my long gone Uncle. The imposing front entrance of the building to my young eyes was something to be afraid of and that fear and sense of unease has never left me, I believe that it's a mixture of the poor souls of time gone by and those who were in current need that my young mind could not comprehend (I still experience this feeling now when I visit certain places), my Uncle was never the same after spending time here, along with that and the unpredictable nature of some of the more acute inpatients, I remember particularly an ex-soldier who used to march continually on the spot inside the front entrance door as if he were still on guard, I was fascinated by him as he seemed completely harmless yet terrifying at the same time (does that even make sense!) it was always a fascination to me along with the thought that this could befall any of us at any time! although my Uncle is long gone and I have not returned for probably 30 odd years this place has left a lasting impression on me that I still can't really explain to this day. One thing is for sure though and that is I couldn't live here even if you gave me all the money in the world!

I trained as a nurse at St Clements ( RGN/ RMN ) between 1981 – 5 and worked on most of the wards These photos bring back a flood of memories – good and bad – a real institution – I'm sad that I didn't keep in touch with the people I trained with – would love to be in touch

Wow! This thread about St Clements has really brought back memories!
I was a student nurse on the Intigrated nursing course, which meant you trained in psychiatric nursing and general nursing concurrently, between 1971 and early 1976. I had many placements at St Clements over this period, plus one long stay placement at Goodmayes hospital in Essex.
My first placement was on Pinney ward. Obviously I felt nervous about what to expect, but the ward sister had a brilliant attitude and told me just to speak to the patients as I would anyone else. From then on it was easy to form a therapeutic relationship. The patients spent time playing card games, going on outings and attending OT sessions, as well as individual sessions with psychiatrists, but a lot of the time they were just with us and we chatted, listened and tried to be supportive. On that ward we even put on a show for the whole hospital, patients family and friends and staff. It was a wonderful example of patients and staff collaborating together. I have many happy memories.
Coburg ward was a locked ward where patients were more closely supervised to prevent them harming themselves. Again the Sister and staff on the ward had a fantastic attitude, and helped me learn to cope with any difficult situations. We did ECT on this ward, which has become controversial since then, but everything was done meticulously and patients were treated with such care. I can remember some patients with chronic depression coming in and begging for the treatment because it was the only thing that helped them.
I worked twice on Lansbury ward, which was ahead of it's time being run as a therapeutic community. There were group meetings of staff and patients every day, and I learnt a lot that helped me as my career developed. I remember working with a severe case of puerperal depression where we had to look after the mother and baby too..
I spent time in the OT department. I think it was quite innovative. I remember they had kitchens and helped patients with cooking and daily living tasks before they went back into the community. They ran relaxation classes on Lansbury ward, and I remember having to take these classes myself. I still use some of those techniques to this day.
I spent time with the psychiatric community team, again very advanced for it's time, so saw a lot of how people lived in the East end at that time.
I recall watching Princess Anne's wedding in the nurses home at St Clements, and many lively discussions in the staff dining room. I remember Ismay P – in fact met my first husband through her, and our third daughter is also called Ismay!
I learnt such a lot at St Clements and throughout my training I totally think it set me up for life. I understand some patients and relatives on this thread have bad memories having recently had a relative admitted to a psychiatric hospital it is always a dark period in their lives, but I truly believe there was a kindness and professionalism at St Clements.
I went on to live in Scotland and trained as a
Health visitor, a job at did until retirement a few years ago.
Must come down and visit all these old buildings, although I won't recognize Whitechapel, Mile end and Stepney as they are today.


Wirral-based Tectores has become the second monthly winner of the 2019 Merseyside Innovation Awards (MIA). Their innovative PelliTec blister prevention pad, which sticks to footwear not the skin, looks to solve a perennial problem; they have turned their focus to preventing blisters rather than treating them.
The MIA's aim to help companies transform their ideas into successful businesses, contributing towards Merseyside's economic development. Since 1996, the awards celebrate and encourages innovative companies and individuals in Merseyside and this month's winners Tectores are looking to capitalise on this win by launching their product in May 2019, initially to healthcare professionals followed by a consumer roll out later in 2019.
Tectores' inventive blister prevention pad consists of a unique six-layer design, reducing the friction which causes blisters and accelerating the healing of existing ones. The company have recently received a patent to extend their range of footcare products into insoles and they hope to revolutionise the prevention and treatment of foot blisters whilst contributing economically to the Merseyside area.


Bitdefender solution scored "Top Product" in the newly introduced category Windows Testing. Products achieving 17.5 or 18 out of 18 points are eligible to wear the TOP PRODUCT badge.
Bitdefender Endpoint Security boasts some impressive features. In the six individual tests for certification, the solution consistently proved its intelligent handling of Windows client resources, while still maintaining a very high level of security. For the test, everyday routines were performed with the installed solution on the clients: launching of websites, downloading software from the Internet, copying files and completing installations.
In all the 2014 certification tests, Bitdefender Endpoint Security, at the height of providing a strong protection function, showed no negative effects on the speed of the client computer during everyday use. For this performance, Bitdefender is receiving the AV-TEST BEST PERFORMANCE 2014 AWARD.
During July and August 2014 we continuously evaluated 9 endpoint protection products using settings as provided by the vendor. We always used the most current publicly-available version of all products for the testing. We focused on realistic test scenarios and challenged the products against real-world threats. Products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.

The File Detection Test is one of the most deterministic factors to evaluate the effectiveness of an anti-virus engine.
Bitdefender Antispam laboratories raised the bar once again in November as Bitdefender Security for Mail Servers demonstrated a remarkable detection rate of 99.96% and zero false positives.
VB100 comparative testing is a regular independent comparison of anti-malware solutions. Each test report combines the unique VB100 certification scheme with in-depth analysis of product performance on a range of scales.
To earn a VBSpam+ award, a product has to obtain a spam catch rate higher than 99.50% and zero false positives. In the July test, Bitdefender had the second best detection rate (99.94%) and the highest of the products that achieved the VBSpam+ award.
"Bitdefender clearly took the lead in the industry. It truly deserves this award." – January 2013 | CEO Andreas Clementi AV-Comparatives.
Bitdefender 2013 confirms its top position and dominates the tough AV-Test results, by reaching the top overall score in protection, repair and usability.
Virus Bulletin awarded VB100 for Bitdefender Security for File Servers 3.5 in October 2011 commenting "Detection rates in the infected sets were extremely impressive, close to perfect in most areas and dipping only slightly below 90% in the proactive week of the RAP sets." In December 2010 Bitdefender Client Security 3.1.9 received VB100 award and in February 2011 Bitdefender Security for Samba 3.1.2 received VB100 award by obtaining the highest final score followed by a consecutive award also in February 2012.
Virus Bulletin has carried out independent comparative testing of anti-virus products. The tests focus on virus detection rates and scanning speed, as well as looking at how each product fares when scanning a set files that are known to be clean. In order to display the VB100 logo, an anti-virus product must have demonstrated in our tests that: It detects all In the Wild viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning, and it generates no false positives when scanning a set of clean files.
Bitdefender's antispam solutions have been tested by Virus Bulletin's (VB) testing lab since the very first anti-spam test. Bitdefender's solution is the only one that has won an award in every single VBSpam test, continuously improving spam catch rate combined with extremely few false positives has been leading always into top results.

At Abacus we believe that it is so important to capture special moments and to work in partnership with families, we use Tapestry software to achieve this. Tapestry enables us to create observations immediately, add notes and images which authorised people can access immediately. Families can then comment and add their own stories to the Online Learning Journal.
Tapestry is a safe and secure online learning journey. Each room has their own tablet/recording device which they use to capture the children playing, exploring and interacting with peers. Abacus staff capture these moments and link them to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and Characteristics of Effective Learning. Once authorised parents, carers and family members who have been set up with tapestry can view the images through their downloadable app.
Tapestry is the fresh way to observe, assess and follow each child's progress, giving parents the opportunity to comment and even add their own images from home.
Tapestry allows the staff to spend more time playing and challenging the learning of each child.

Identification of putative regulatory signals including the HAP1 binding site in the upstream sequence of the Aspergillus nidulans cytochrome c gene (cycA).
L J. Johnson, Massey University
R E. BRADSHAW, Massey University
We speculate that a HAP1-like protein, similar to those which regulate oxygen transcriptional activation of many yeast respiratory genes, will probably also regulate the A. nidulans cytochrome c (cycA) gene. As part of a study to investigate the significance of a putative HAP1 (Haem Activator Protein) binding site in the regulatory region of the cycA gene, routine sequencing revealed an error in the published sequence (Raitt et al. 1994 Mol. Gen. Genet. 242: 17-22). Examination of the corrected sequence, including RT-PCR analysis of cycA mRNA, showed that an extra intron was present, and that the published translational start site was incorrect. This meant that the putative HAP1-binding site proposed by Raitt et al. could not be a regulatory element. However, further sequence analysis of the upstream sequence of the corrected cycA gene revealed putative regulatory signals, including possible HAP1 binding sites which are a closer match to recently reported yeast consensus sequences (Ha et al. 1996 Nucl. Acids Res. 24: 1453-1459).

What few leaders seem to appreciate is that businesses, like products, have a life cycle. The business itself is something that was designed and built to fit the needs of a particular market. While the life cycle of a business design is significantly longer than that of a product, it is an inescapable cycle nonetheless. But, how many leaders have a department dedicated to improving the design of their business or creating a new one?
The business design encompasses the products offered, the customers & markets served, sales and marketing methods, distribution systems, and even the vision, mission and core values. It makes it implausible to create a department that could effectively manage the life cycle of a business as it plays out over decades.
The solution is bold, but effective: Evolve Your Employees.


Saint Genevieve of Paris lived during the mid-fifth century.
This was the very time when Attila the Hun was threatening to conquer France. In his years of power, Attila built an empire stretching from Russia to the Rhine River, and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea. So when he brought his soldiers thundering into France with the intention of taking Paris, many inhabitants were in an understandable state of panic and ready to flee.
One resident, however, had a different idea, and that was Genevieve. She was from a family of peasants in Nanterre, and knew from childhood that she wanted to be a nun. She entered monastic life at the age of fifteen.
When her parents died she had come to live with her godmother in Paris, and became well-known for her charity and prayerfulness. She kept a strict vegetarian diet and didn't allow herself any extra physical comforts such as a soft bed or lotions to smooth her skin. The pleasures of the world didn't appeal to her, and her trust in God made her courageous and able to face anything.
So when word of Attila's approach spread through the city, Genevieve didn't even think of running away. Instead, she stood at the city walls and urged people to pray, leading them in the effort for hours.
At first, some city leaders were furious with her for exposing the people to terrible danger by urging them to stay. But in the end, Attila turned back from Paris and took his armies in another direction. This wonderful event, in the year 451, was the inspiration for Saint Genevieve being seen as the protectress of the city.
But this wasn't the only time Genevieve would play a role in saving the people of Paris. In the year 464, the city was attacked by Childeric, a Frankish king. He set up a siege and blockaded the ports, threatening the city with starvation. Genevieve was able to arrange for a boat to get through, bringing grain to the city so that the people could have bread. For this reason, some icons show her holding a loaf of bread.
Other icons show Saint Genevieve with a lighted candle—a reminder of another miraculous event in her life. One windy night, she and her nuns were on their way to church, going along muddy paths in the dark. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew out the candles they were carrying. The nuns were ready to turn back to the monastery—but not Abbess Genevieve. She was determined to get them all to church, and prayed for God's help. As she did so, the candles came alight again, and did not go out even though the nuns could still feel the strong wind.
They were able to get safely to church and home again. Perhaps even more important, they saw again their abbess' trust in God, which could overcome strong wind and fierce warriors.

By comparing photographs of the city in the 1960s and 1970s to photographs of the city today, it becomes apparent how radically Dubai has changed.
Before the discovery of oil in Dubai in 1966, the city was an unremarkable port in the Gulf region. While it had existed as a trading port along important Middle Eastern trade routes since the 1800s, its main industry was pearling, which dried up after the 1930s.
As it did for many Gulf countries, oil changed everything. While Dubai's reserves were nothing compared with those its neighbor in the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, was determined to turn the city into a trading hub.
From an early period, the revenue from oil was put toward developing Dubai for a day when it would no longer have that income source to rely upon.
By most accounts, things changed in the 1990s and early 2000s. In 1985, the city opened the Middle East's first major "free zone" – a place where foreign companies could operate with almost no taxes or customs and with streamlined bureaucracy – at Jebel Ali.
Meanwhile, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan pushed up the price of oil, resulting in tons of capital for Gulf states. And general instability increased the attractiveness of Dubai as a place for investment, according to "A History of Future Cities," by Daniel Brook .
In the years after 9/11, Dubai's economy kicked into full gear and a development boom began that, aside from a drastic crisis around 2009, never ended.
In 2007, Morgan Stanley estimated the city had 20% of the world's construction cranes. Most of the development was driven by the state-owned Dubai World company and Emaar Properties, a formerly government-owned enterprise that is now publicly traded.
The development boom has resulted in the world's tallest building, the second-biggest mall, one of the most luxurious hotels, and more skyscrapers than any city besides New York and Hong Kong.
The city is far from done developing. Reuters reported in July that massive government spending for the World Expo in 2020, which Dubai will host, is propping up economic growth in recent years.
Projects currently under construction include the extravagant Museum of the Future, Gate Avenue, a ground-level, $272 million development that cuts through the financial district, and Dubai Creek Harbour.
The Dubai Creek Harbour complex will include the Dubai Creek Tower, set to be the tallest tower in the world, and Dubai Square, a $2 billion mega-mall that will be the biggest in the world.


Monica Caison of CUE Center for Missing Persons once again presents information on two missing persons cases with the hope that the one key clue to solve the cases will come from the listening audience.
Shelley Mook, an eighth grade English teacher at Harris Middle School, has been missing since Feb. 28, 2011.
Detectives say she was last seen at 4 p.m.. that day by her ex-husband, Tyler Mook, when she dropped their 6-year-old daughter off at his home on Old Nashville Dirt Road in Shelbyville.
Police say around midnight, a car was found at the end of a couple's winding driveway in Rutherford County, just 18 miles from where Shelley was last seen.
"The couple heard an explosion and then saw the flames. They called the fire department ,and they arrived on scene very quickly," Bedford County Capt. Tony Barrett said.
Firefighters didn't find anyone in the car, and it wasn't until a couple of days later and after Shelley's ex-husband, Tyler, reported her missing did police realize that the car belonged to Shelley.
According to investigators, Tyler walked into the sheriff's department on March 1, because she didn't come back to pick up her daughter.
Detectives have since searched two counties, Shelley's phone records and Tyler's home for clues, but nothing solid has come up.
Police have said they believe Shelley is the victim of foul play, but they're uncertain who is responsible for her disappearance.
Derrick has not been seen since August 4, 2008, when he went missing in the Newberry area in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. At the time of his disappearance, he was living in a residence along North Manistique Lake Road, south of the village of McMillan and just west of East Lake. According to witness accounts, he was last seen walking into the bush across from a neighbor's house. He was reportedly planning on meeting his now ex girlfriend at a prearranged location in the woods. When she arrived at the location, Derrick was nowhere to be found. He has not been heard from or seen since. At the time of his disappearance, Derrick was excited about the upcoming birth of his third child, due a few months later.
