SA feels the force as 4DX draws movie buffs away from home theatres

Why do fans love Star Wars?
'Star Wars' lifts Disney as US stocks dip
Feeling the effects
Johannesburg - Cinema operator Nu Metro is banking on the success of 4DX in the era of Netflix and smart televisions, as movie ticket sales dip worldwide. It has opened 6 4DX theatres in the last two years, making South Africa one of the biggest outlets of the technology in the world.
And the novelty of 4DX could put bums on seats as movie theatres strive to innovate to stay relevant.
Nu Metro celebrated the second anniversary of 4DX in South Africa in December with the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, exactly two years after the record-breaking Star Wars: The Force Awakens introduced the technology to South Africans.
READ: Feeling the effects
4DX originated in South Korea in 2009, but it quickly caught on around the world.
It is a multisensory experience, that features moving seats, wind, water, scents and lighting — which are synchronised with the action on-screen.
When the camera tilts, the seats often tilt with it.
When Poe Dameron flies through space in hot pursuit of the First Order, you as moviegoer experience the rush with him. And when he crashes, your chair jolts with him.
Motion simulates all the flying action sequences in the space battles between the Rebellion and the First Order, from cruising to barrel-rolling in the sky.
Air shots, fog and wind are implemented for lasers, cannon blasters, and aerial mayhem on the screen. And naturally everything happens in 3D.
The new format is a rush. A leisurely and relaxing night at the movies it is certainly not. Movie theatres are hoping that this adrenaline rush will push movie goers back to theatres.
And at a cost of R175 - significantly more than a normal movie ticket - it does not come cheap.
But that has not deterred especially younger movie goers, who have been flocking to theatres over the last two years to experience the novelty, Nu Metro said.
READ: Nu Metro aims to grow business in Africa
While Nu Metro could not supply exact figures, its communication team points to the large scale investment the entertainer has done in the 4DX technology since the launch two years back. For the cinematic chain the investment has delivered the results they needed to boost revenue.
Worldwide 4DX is also doing extremely well with a good percentage of the big blockbuster movies' revenue coming from the technology.
Nu Metro has been the only cinema chain in South Africa to introduce 4DX to moviegoers. The first 4DX cinema opened at Nu Metro V&A Waterfront in December 2015, with The Force Awakens as the first movie screened.
South Africa also has one of the "highest densities of 4DX theatres in the world", Nu Metro points out.
The National Film Video Foundation (NFVF), reported in the first half of 2017 that SA's total box office receipts in the first half of 2017 were R568.1m, down 3% compared to the same period in 2016.
But it was the new-format films that bucked the trend. Of the 106 films released in SA in that period, 23 were released in 3D, 4DX and IMAX formats.
This was 18 more than in 2016. The NFVF said in their half year report for 2017 the films' earnings accounted for 65% of the box office revenues, up from 54% in the year-earlier period.
Nu Metro was extremely pleased with 's 4DX performance in South African theatres, so much that the cinematic chain decided to expand their offering.
Several of the 4DX experiences were sold out during those first two weeks in 2015. Other movies released in 4DX's success convinced Nu Metro to open the 6 theatres in only two years.
Also Nu Metro's decision to throw its weight behind 4DX required significant investment as movie theatres needed to be rebuilt, fitted with Servo motors under the seats, and revamped with special fans and water squirters. Personnel working on the theatres also had to be trained in South Korea for three months to qualify as a 4DX installer.
"We had to install a complete new steel floor structure to be able to handle the 0.3G-force the unit moves with; as well as water, air and scent lines," said Johan van Staden, Nu Metro Cinemas' Head of Technical.
He said the complete system used 24 computers -1 in each of the 21 seat pods-, a motion PC, a monitor PC and a screen server.
"The 'force' utilises Servo motors and transducers, and not hydraulics, making the movement much smoother and more active," he said. "South Africa is in for a total new way of watching movies."
And 4DX is not simply cinematic complexes adding their own effects. Filmmakers, together with the 4DX technicians carefully plot each special effect to extract the exact emotion a certain scene wants to relay. Effects are then digitally coded into the movie and synchronised.
The next offering for 4DX is Jumanji:Welcome to the Jungle, with audiences already experiencing a preview on Boxing Day this week. Star Wars will still be on offer till the end of the year, when Jumanji takes its place.
Find 4DX at Nu Metro V&A Waterfront (Cape Town), The Pavilion (Durban), Menlyn Park (Pretoria), Hyde Park Corner (Johannesburg), Emperors Palace (Johannesburg) and the recently opened Cornubia Mall (Umhlanga/Mount Edgecombe).

What good is a system if you can't use it? We think it's an obvious question, but our experience has proven, time and time again that end user training is an elusive event. At Roland, Woolworth & Associates, we approach training on multiple fronts.
As part of a comprehensive design package, our specifications include significant language requiring system contractors to provide end user training at the job site. In more complex systems, a principal from RWA will often perform the training directly to the end user, in cooperation with the installing contractor.
Additionally, we often perform training for the installation contractor to facilitate his/her own training, and to assist the contractor in the long term service of the system.
Beyond system level training, we offer a full array of technology training. We have extensive teaching experience at multiple levels and as a result RWA is equipped to offer a variety of training options for a diverse client base.
Today's integrated systems include high levels of integration between hardware and software. The learning curve for much of this technology is a moving target and at RWA, we strive to stay on the cutting edge of the latest products, services and tools. We have extensive, direct experience at the manufacturing level for integrated digital systems that provides a unique insight to the architecture of advanced technology and software based systems. This insight, coupled with extensive experience and continued usage gives us unique depth on these products.
Beyond components, we also offer turn-key training on specific systems. From operational basics to advanced adjustments, control and even configuration, RWA offers comprehensive training semiars for learning integrated systems technology. From end users, system administrators, operations personnel and owners, our seminars include full-blown classroom learning, testing and lab style training programs.

in: Continua, Literature
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, sometimes abbreviated H2G2, is a science-fiction comedy series originally produced as a radio series, created by Douglas Adams. The name may be used to refer to the radio episodes, the series of five books, the stage shows, the BBC television series, a computer game, the 2005 movie, or the Guide of the story, though most commonly the books.
There are a number of variations and contradictions between versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide, but the basic storyline remains the same. This follows an Englishman named Arthur Dent who accompanies Ford Prefect, an alien from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse and reporter for the Guide, in escaping the destruction of Earth by the Vogons. They are later rescued by the automatic systems of the Heart of Gold, a ship powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive and crewed by Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ford's half-cousin; Trillian, a mathematician, astrophysicist, and very nice girl Arthur met at a party in London; and Marvin the Paranoid Android, depressed robot. They then go looking for the legendary planet of Magrathea, which made planets when the galaxy's economy could afford it.
H2G2 and the PPC[]
Being to science fiction what Discworld is to fantasy—a snarky but loving satire of the genre—H2G2 enjoys a good deal of popularity among PPCers. Many show their appreciation by celebrating Towel Day on May 25.
Agents Rez and Flip are known to have brewed a dangerously potent Bleeprin derivative from H2G2's Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, an alcoholic beverage invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox. "The best drink in existence," according to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is "like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick." The Pan Galactic Gargle Bleeprin Blaster can cause permanent amnesia if imbibed in excess.
Agent Rez may be from this continuum, since she was born on a small planet near Polaris and spent some time with a space pirate crew before joining the PPC, but this is unconfirmed.
The unfortunate pot of petunias from H2G2, although sentient, bears no relation to the Flowers (as far as anyone knows).

McNeill: $1 million awarded for airport improvements
(Dec 26, 2020) Rep. Jeanne McNeill
WHITEHALL, Dec. 26 – State Rep. Jeanne McNeill announced that the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority has been awarded a $1 million state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant. The grant will be used for the terminal expansion at Lehigh Valley International Airport for the security checkpoint and terminal connector project. "This funding will help the airport authority improve the movement and flow in the airport, as well as enhance safety and security by enlarging the terminal and updating the TSA screening area to meet TSA standards," said McNeill, D-Lehigh. "The changes should result in an overall improved passenger experience. This expansion project is greatly needed and I was glad to help the authority receive this funding, and I thank the governor for his support." Currently, the Lehigh Valley Airport requires both departing and arriving passengers to travel through the same tunnel, where the security checkpoint also is located, which only has two lanes. TSA standards require three lanes, and four lanes will be required in 10 years. The RACP is administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational and historical improvement projects. Read more

Let's be patient; Make sure every vote counts
(Nov 05, 2020) Northeast Delegation
As of this writing, there are approximately 750,000 Pennsylvania votes that need to be counted. That is more than 750,000 Pennsylvanians who lawfully casted their vote and deserve to be heard. Counting every citizen's legal, timely vote is imperative. As workers securely make progress on tallying the results, we must be patient. This process may take several days, but the integrity and sanctity of the vote in our state must be maintained. Last Fall, in a bipartisan showing, the Pennsylvania General Assembly agreed to allow for mail-in ballots. Since then, House Democrats have made many efforts to help clarify any confusion about the process and give local election boards the tools needed to securely and expeditiously process votes cast by mail. Unfortunately, our Republican colleagues chose political gamesmanship over a genuine effort to ensure a smooth election. Their inaction failed to allow for the early processing of ballots received – as 32 other states permit-- and, in turn, why there is a delay in knowing the outcome of this election. The ambiguity in the law did not address their local official's concerns; nor does it protect every Pennsylvanian's constitutional right to vote and our obligation to make sure those votes are counted. Now, more than ever, we must ensure that we uphold the freedoms guaranteed in our state and nation's constitution. In these unprecedented times, the voters must have the final say, not the candidates or Read more

A very simple question, but for which for some reasons I do not seem to be able to find a solution yet: I have re-install a 3rd party software (notifyOSD) from the new software center (Ive got Ubuntu 16) but the icon get stuck in the menu without installing anything. Meanwhile I have already reinstall the software from a terminal, but the icon just seems to stuck there, even when I reboot. Anyone knows a command to kill the process?
Many thanks in advance,

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for many critically ill patients. Unfortunately, prolonged MV results in rapid diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction, collectively termed ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD). Recent evidence reveals that endurance exercise training, performed prior to MV, protects the diaphragm against VIDD. While the mechanism(s) responsible for this exercise-induced protection against VIDD remain unknown, increased diaphragm antioxidant expression may be required. To investigate the role that increased antioxidants play in this protection, we tested the hypothesis that elevated levels of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is required to achieve exercise-induced protection against VIDD. Cause and effect was investigated in two ways. First, we prevented the exercise-induced increase in diaphragmatic SOD2 via delivery of an antisense oligonucleotide targeted against SOD2 post-exercise. Second, using transgene overexpression of SOD2, we determined the effects of increased SOD2 in the diaphragm independent of exercise training. Results from these experiments revealed that prevention of the exercise-induced increases in diaphragmatic SOD2 results in a loss of exercise-mediated protection against MV-induced diaphragm atrophy and a partial loss of protection against MV-induced diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction. In contrast, transgenic overexpression of SOD2 in the diaphragm, independent of exercise, did not protect against MV-induced diaphragmatic atrophy and provided only partial protection against MV-induced diaphragmatic contractile dysfunction. Collectively, these results demonstrate that increased diaphragmatic levels of SOD2 are essential to achieve the full benefit of exercise-induced protection against VIDD.

Industrial Research Chairs (IRC) are intended to:
create mutually beneficial collaborations between Canadian universities and private and/or public sector partners that lead to advancements that will result in economic, social or environmental benefits for Canada and Canadians;
assist universities in building on existing strengths to achieve the critical mass required for a major research endeavour in natural sciences and engineering of interest to their partner(s); and/or
assist in the development of research efforts in fields that have not yet been developed in Canadian universities but for which there is an important need;
provide an enhanced experiential learning environment for graduate students and, where appropriate, postdoctoral fellows, by exposing them to research challenges unique to partnerships, and by providing them with the opportunity for significant ongoing interactions with the partnering organization(s);
allow partners to access the unique knowledge, expertise, infrastructure and potential highly educated and skilled future employees graduating from Canadian universities.
NSERC offers three types of Industrial Research Chairs:
Senior Industrial Research Chairs for distinguished senior researchers (five-year appointment, renewable);
Associate Industrial Research Chairs for early-stage researchers demonstrating exceptional promise (five-year appointment, renewable once);
Executive Industrial Research Chairs for outstanding R&D professionals (five-year appointment, non-renewable).
An IRC grant provides funding for the salary of the Chairholder, infrastructure, research tools and instruments, and general expenses related to the Chair's program of research.
Chairholders are expected to focus their activities on conducting research and training highly qualified personnel, while carrying a reduced administrative and teaching load.
IRCs are funded jointly by NSERC and at least one eligible partner. For a description of partners eligible for leveraging cash and in-kind contributions from NSERC, and the eligibility and value of in-kind contributions, refer to the Guidelines for Organizations Participating in Research Partnerships. Additional non-eligible partners can contribute and participate by bringing their own resources to, and having a defined role in, the program of research.
The total eligible partner cash commitment in any five-year term should be at least equal to NSERC's commitment during the same period.
NSERC will not be responsible for any salary increments provided to the Chairholder over the course of the award due to merit, progression through the ranks, or inflation.
Universities may nominate more than one Chair candidate jointly in one application if their fields of research are related, complementary, and part of the same proposed program of research. However, each Chair candidate in a joint application will be assessed to the same standards of excellence and self-reliance as if nominated individually.
NSERC staff must be informed as soon as possible if the nature of the Chairholder's faculty appointment is about to change, for example, as a result of pending retirement or the approval of a concurrent Canada Research Chair award. Such changes will have implications for the IRC award. Chair candidates or incumbents who hold or expect to hold a Canada Research Chair under the Canada Research Chairs Program should refer to the Concurrent IRC and CRC Awards section below.
Chairholders are eligible to compete for other NSERC grants, such as Discovery Grants and other Research Partnerships grants, while they hold an IRC.
A researcher can hold IRC and Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) Grants concurrently. A CRD application and an IRC application may be evaluated simultaneously if the two are thematically related and have a strong overlap in supporting organizations and research teams, and are submitted to NSERC at the same time. Each application will be evaluated on its own merits and a funding decision for each will be reached independently.
Strategic relevance
The IRC proposal must be in an area of high priority for both the university and the partner(s). The minimum university commitment to the establishment of an IRC includes tenured (Senior Industrial Research Chair), tenure-track (Associate Industrial Research Chair), or five-year, non-tenured term (Executive Industrial Research Chair) appointments and adequate laboratory, office space and administrative support (particularly important for IRCs with large research teams or numerous partners), as required, for the research group. If the proposed candidate is currently on staff, the university must establish at least one incremental tenured or tenure-track faculty position (see the Incrementality section below). A university financial contribution to the cost of the research program or infrastructure will strengthen the case for support.
Similarly, the partner(s) must demonstrate a strong commitment to a field of research relevant to industrial activity that will result in economic, social or environmental benefits for Canada and Canadians.
Senior Industrial Research Chairs
Candidates for Senior Chair positions must be researchers of international stature who can bring an innovative perspective to the university in carrying out and managing research, and training researchers. They must be recognized as international leaders in their field and must be considered to be exceptional in comparison to their research peers. Furthermore, candidates are expected to have extensive research experience and all the qualifications for a tenured appointment at the rank of full professor. Appointments are for an initial five-year term, which may be renewed every five years.
Note: Tier 2 Canada Research Chairholders are not eligible for a Senior IRC, but can apply for an Associate IRC.
Associate Industrial Research Chairs
Associate Chair candidates should be researchers in the early stages of their careers who have demonstrated exceptional promise relative to their peers in their field of research and who are qualified for academic appointment as assistant or associate professors. Appointments must be confirmed as tenured or tenure-track. Candidates must have demonstrated the capacity to conduct a significant independent research activity. Appointments are for an initial five-year term, which may be renewed once. At the renewal stage, current Associate Chairholders may be nominated as Senior Chair candidates if the criteria for that status are met.
Executive Industrial Research Chairs
Executive Chairs are designed for candidates from industry with non-academic research backgrounds who:
have extensive experience and an exceptional track record in conducting and managing R&D at a senior level but who have limited teaching experience, and whose current positions do not offer opportunities to publish;
have the ability to provide the outstanding vision and leadership necessary to build a broad range of partnerships and launch a major research initiative that would allow the university to move forward into new areas of collaborative, industrially relevant research. The role of the Executive Chair must clearly include direct involvement in R&D activities and student supervision, and should not be limited to administrative oversight.
Executive Chairs are not designed for early- or mid-career researchers who have non-traditional career paths that include industrial experience. Outstanding candidates with such backgrounds who are offered tenure or tenure-track positions should be proposed as Associate or Senior Chairs instead, and their merit toward stature will be assessed by taking into account the equivalent experience and skills that have led to their new academic appointment.
Candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the university milieu and be qualified to supervise graduate students. Appointments are for a five-year term with no tenure. The appointment is not renewable; however, an Executive Chair may be renewed as a Senior Chair, if the criteria for Senior Chairs are met.
Stature assessment table by Chair type
The following table will help determine the stature of potential candidates for each Chair type:

* An exception will be made only for Associate Chairs renewing for their second Term.
Incrementality
The establishment of an Associate or Senior IRC must increase the research capacity of the university in the proposed area of research by creating new tenured or tenure-track faculty position(s). The establishment of an Executive Chair does not include this requirement. In the case of an external candidate, the Chairholder is considered to be the incremental position. In the case of an internal candidate who already holds a faculty appointment, the university must agree to create a new tenured or tenure-track faculty position(s) in the research area of the Chair program, or in one closely related and complementary to it. The new faculty position(s) must be appointed following the approval of the Chair.
Candidates nominated for an Executive Chair position must be external. Candidates nominated for Senior Chair or Associate Chair positions can be internal (currently on staff at the host university) or external.
External candidates:
Candidates who have been specifically hired by the university to prepare an IRC application for up to one year prior to an IRC application submission will be considered as external candidates.
Internal candidates:
For each internal candidate, the university must create a new tenured or tenure-track faculty position(s) in the research area of the Chair program, or in one closely related and complementary to it.
This new position cannot be contingent on the availability of funds. The funds freed up from the salary of the internal candidate must be used toward the salary of the new tenure or tenure-track position. Any leftover funds, and any funds freed up (minus any reasonable recruitment costs or costs associated with an enticement package) before the new tenure or tenure-track position is filled, must be allocated to the direct costs of the Chair's research program on a monthly pro rata basis.
The individual selected for the new faculty position must have the mandate and qualifications required to conduct independent research and supervise graduate students.
The university must undertake to fill this new position promptly once an IRC is awarded and to supply NSERC with a CV for the candidate, once selected. Annual renewal of an IRC may be contingent on confirmation that the university has met this obligation. Furthermore, should this individual leave the university during the term of the Chair, and the university is unable to fill this vacated position, the Chair may be cancelled. A person selected for the replacement faculty position will be considered internal if proposed as a Chair candidate.
To satisfy the requirements for the creation of incremental research capacity, a new tenured or tenure-track faculty position must also be created for IRC Chairholders whose salary is currently funded through a Canada Research Chair.
Candidates who do not have a tenured or tenure-track academic appointment, but who have been employed at the university for more than one year and are eligible to apply for NSERC grants, will be considered as internal candidates.
In addition to contributing significantly to the direct costs of a Chair (For a full discussion of cash leverage ratios, and the eligibility and value of in-kind contributions, refer to the Guidelines for Organizations Participating in Research Partnerships), the partner(s) must demonstrate a willingness and ability to collaborate with the university researchers to a degree that would provide industrially relevant training opportunities for the students and that would lead to the exploitation of the research results for the benefit of Canada and Canadians.
Partner cash contributed toward an IRC is eligible regardless of when it was actually provided, as long as the money has not been spent prior to the application being submitted to NSERC. If the partner(s) choose to contribute to an endowment as a means of supporting the Chair, the recognized contribution will be limited to the amount attributed to industrial sources that are directly allocated to the cost of the Chair over the term of the award.
Note: The Canada Revenue Agency will recognize cash contributions to NSERC IRCs as Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) expenditures under the Income Tax Act. For details, see SR&ED forms and publications available from the Canada Revenue Agency .
NSERC's Policy on Intellectual Property (IP) is based on the principle that the results of NSERC-funded research should be exploited for the benefit of Canada and Canadians. NSERC strongly recommends that the partner(s) and university(ies) negotiate a research agreement for the ownership and management of IP generated in the collaborative research partnerships, in compliance with NSERC's IP Policy. Confirmation that a research agreement has been signed between the partner(s) and the university will be requested by NSERC for all IRC awards. This confirmation must be provided within six months from the date of the conditional offer.
NSERC is acting on the evidence that equity, diversity and inclusion strengthen the scientific and engineering communities and the quality, social relevance and impact of research. Increasing diversity and gender equity in the research enterprise are key priorities in our current strategic plan, NSERC 2020, and are highlighted in the strategic goal of "Building a Diversified and Competitive Research Base".
NSERC is in the process of integrating equity, diversity and inclusion considerations into its evaluation criteria. Our community will be informed of changes and effective dates. Applicants should refer to the Guide for Applicants: Considering equity, diversity and inclusion in your application for more information.
The person submitting an IRC proposal (the "applicant" on Form 101) must hold a senior administrative position in the university, such as department head, dean, vice-president or president, with direct or ultimate management responsibility for the proposed Chairholder. The applicant cannot be the candidate for the Chair.
Applications may be submitted at any time. Decisions on IRC awards may take up to six months from the time of submission; for an optimal turnaround time, NSERC must receive the final version of an application, considered ready for review by NSERC staff, at least four months prior to the Advisory Committee on University-Industry Grants' quarterly meeting. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NSERC staff before submitting a proposal, and may request comments on drafts. Full applications must identify a candidate for a Senior, Executive or Associate Chair.
Use Forms 100, 101 and 183A and follow the instructions for preparing an IRC submission. Three letters of reference for each Chair candidate should be sent directly to NSERC.
All IRC proposals are reviewed by a visiting committee. Applicants will be contacted by NSERC staff regarding the timing of and agenda for site visits. The final recommendation for funding is made by the Advisory Committee on University-Industry Grants; this committee normally meets four times per year: in March, June, September and December. After receiving the final version of the application, NSERC takes up to six months to complete its evaluation when no significant issues are raised during the review process. For an optimal turnaround time, NSERC must receive the final version of an application, considered ready for review by NSERC staff, at least four months prior to the Advisory Committee on University-Industry Grants' quarterly meeting.
IRC applications are evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
Excellence of the candidate: The stature, research competence, experience and record of accomplishments of the proposed candidate(s) must be evident (commensurate with the type of Chair requested);
Scientific Merit: The scientific merit, originality, technical feasibility and industrial or other important relevance of the proposed program of research must be demonstrated;
Impact of the previous term (for Chair renewal applications): A clear demonstration of the impact the Chair has had to date, including the impact on research capacity and academic offerings at the university and the new knowledge that the partners have translated into economic, social or environmental benefits for Canada and Canadians;
Training opportunities: The opportunities for the training of graduate students (MSc and PhD) and, where appropriate, postdoctoral fellows in areas relevant to the industrial needs must be sufficiently demonstrated, including the opportunity for significant ongoing interactions with the partner(s). It must be shown that students and postdoctoral fellows have an opportunity to enhance their experiential learning and gain new skills through interactions with the partner(s);
Industrial relevance and benefits: The anticipated impact of the research results, highlighting the relevance and potential value of the scientific or technical advances for the partner(s) must be well-explained and compelling. If appropriate, the proposal must convincingly explain how this research will address critical knowledge gaps that pose barriers to developing new and innovative products, services, processes, or technologies in Canada;
Benefits to Canada: In addition to the benefits anticipated for the partner(s) described under the Industrial Relevance and Benefits criterion, the proposal must detail any additional economic, social or environmental benefits for Canada and Canadians, as well as explaining any advantages Canada stands to gain from the planned partnership(s).
Benefits to the university and appropriateness of the setting: The growth of a valuable sustainable research activity that will generate results of scientific and industrial relevance, enhance training, and stimulate academic collaborations and partner interactions, and the adequacy of the physical environment and financial resources to support the Chair, must be demonstrated by the university;
Budget: The proposal must provide a detailed explanation and justification for each budget item. The proposed cost sharing between NSERC and the partner(s) must be explained and justified and the proposal must provide sufficient information to allow reviewers to assess whether the resources requested and the level of cash and in-kind contributions are appropriate. A significant portion of the budget must be allocated to salaries for students and postdoctoral fellows.
Refer to the Requirements for the Public Announcement of NSERC Grants, Scholarships and Prizes in planning a public announcement of an IRC award. NSERC will approve a public announcement only after the Chairholder has formally accepted the position and after all conditions of the award have been addressed to NSERC's satisfaction.
Funding for equipment
NSERC will not consider requests for equipment and maintenance expenditures that are greater than $400,000 over the five-year term of the Chair and that would be solely funded by the NSERC/partner support. In such cases, an alternative source of funding should be pursued, such as the Canada Foundation for Innovation's (CFI's) John R. Evans Leaders Fund. NSERC and CFI have developed a joint application and review procedure for these cases. Applicants wishing to use this procedure should consult NSERC staff for more details.
Project management expenses
Certain expenditures related to project management are now eligible as a direct cost of research up to a maximum of 10% of the total direct costs (see the Guidelines for Research Partnerships Programs Project Management Expenses).
The Chairholder, the university and the partner(s) must submit progress reports after 18 and 36 months of the first and any subsequent five-year term. If the Chair is in its final term, the final report is due within three months of the end date of the Chair. For those Chairs intending to renew, an up-to-date progress report must be submitted as part of the renewal application during the final year of the term. Continued NSERC support for the duration of the term is dependent on favourable reviews of the progress of the Chair research program and the continued contribution of the partner(s), which must be confirmed annually.
Renewal of an IRC provides continued support for the Chair's research program. In the second term only, the maximum combined contributions to salary from NSERC and the partner(s) is decreased in each successive year to allow the university to gradually assume the cost of the Chair salary. The remainder of the NSERC grant is contributed to the research program. In third and subsequent terms, there is no longer a salary component to the Chair grant and all funds are earmarked for the research program. Refer to the Form 101 instructions for details on salary and project budgeting. Overall, the partner(s) must contribute an amount equal to or greater than NSERC's grant. The partner(s) must continue to demonstrate a willingness and an ability to collaborate closely with the Chair and to exploit results of the proposed research for the benefit of Canada and Canadians.
Renewal of an IRC for the second and each subsequent term is determined by a peer review conducted in the last year of each five-year term. In the case of particularly complex or large proposals, this review may be by site visit. The evaluation will be based on the up-to-date progress report, a new detailed research proposal for the next term (use Forms 100, 101 and 183A), a continued commitment from the partner(s) and the support of the university. The Advisory Committee on University-Industry Grants will make the final funding recommendation for those applications requesting $150,000 or more per year from NSERC. NSERC reserves the right to conduct a more in-depth review of any proposal regardless of the amount requested by a site visit or a virtual site visit and to refer the proposal to the ACUIG for discussion.
Concurrent IRC and CRC awards
Industrial Research Chair (IRC) awards and Canada Research Chair (CRC) awards may be held concurrently at any point in an IRC award, as long as the IRC grant objectives are respected and the partner(s) and the Chairholder are in agreement to do so. Concurrent Chair awards are subject to the following conditions:
Salary support for the Chair will be provided entirely from the Canada Research Chairs award, up to the value of that award, or from sources other than the IRC funds. If the Canada Research Chair award does not fully cover the salary and benefits of the Chairholder, the remainder may be paid from the NSERC and partner contributions to the IRC.
The freed-up salary support normally provided by NSERC and the partner(s), in a first or second five-year term, must be redirected to the research program of the NSERC IRC.
The funds normally committed by the university in partial or full support of an IRC Chairholder's salary must be used to enhance capacity in an area of research directly related to the Chair. Creating replacement faculty positions is a requirement for new IRCs with internal candidates.
After the salary support has been allocated and other expenses eligible under the Canada Research Chairs Program have been deducted, the residual Canada Research Chairs Program funds must be provided to the Chairholder for his/her research program, for use at the Chairholder's discretion, according to the practice at the university for Canada Research Chairs who do not hold an IRC.
The university must provide NSERC with a proposed budget that shows the source and allocation of IRC funding (Canada Research Chairs Program, NSERC, partner(s) and university).
The university must confirm that these conditions have been met before NSERC will consider a request for an IRC renewal for an additional term; specifically, the university must demonstrate that the replacement position or positions will be maintained. Should the start of the Canada Research Chairs Program award not correspond to the start of an IRC or a renewal review, an interim review of the proposed expansion of the Chair research program will be required.
Concurrent IRC and CERC awards
IRC awards and Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) awards can be held concurrently by a Senior IRC if certain conditions are met. In this case, please contact NSERC staff for more information.


President Obama's jobs plan, which he revealed last night in a speech before a joint session of Congress, relies in large parts on lowering the payroll tax. So, for Republicans and others who claim to hate taxes, what's not to like? I can't speak for Republicans, but it might be that they realize that this particular tax cut, which is minor and temporary, is likely to have little impact on employment while adding billions to the deficit. There are many alternatives that would achieve more while not adding to the country's fiscal burden. A prominent example is tax reform that lowers tax rates, reduces deductions, and is revenue-neutral, much like the President's own Bowles-Simpson Commission suggested last year. I don't know why the President has not gone down this road instead of fiddling with ineffectual tax breaks to go along with spending targeted at increasing jobs for favored union constituencies. Here is the Wall Street Journal's take, which seems on target to me.


<< 20 Years Ago Common Released His Landmark Second Album "Resurrection"
Hildebrand recorded just one solo album, Early Morning Blues and Greens, in 1967. It was recorded at Ami Hadani and Tom Hidley's T.T.G. Studios in Hollywood, then-new and previously used by only The Animals and The Mothers of Invention. Hildebrand's album was released by Elektra and seems to have relied on a lot of in-house talend including engineer Bruce Botnick, famed for his work with Love and The Doors, co-producers David Anderle and Russ Miller, and "presenter" Jac Holzman. Musicians who participated in the album's recording include David Dawson, Fred Myrow, James Decker, Malcolm Elsensohn, Russell White, Sheridon Stokes, Tony McCashen, and Hildebrand's boyfriend, Colin Cameron, who then-lived with her in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood.
After the release of Early Morning Blues and Greens, a promo single, "Early Morning Blues And Greens" b/w "Come Looking For Me," was released the in 1968 but doesn't seem to have actually been much promoted. It was followed by "Jan's Blues" b/w "Early Morning Blues and Greens" which though excellent, seems to have somehow gotten lost in the shuffle. Someone at Elektra must've believed in it in Hildebrand as the album was re-released in 1968 and '69. It was finally released on compact disc in 2006 by Collectors' Choice Music.
After her single solo release Hildebrand returned to writing for others, providingsongs for country-rockers The Lewis And Clarke Expedition and Stone Country (both of them also one-album-wonders), Texas's The Fountain of Youth, and hot-rodders The Hondells. Hildebrand's continued collaboration with Kelly produced "Easy Come, Easy Go," which was a hit for Bobby Sherman in 1970, and "Apple Bend" for Johnny Tillotson, which was not. In the mid-1970s, she was still composing, writing songs for "When We're Singin'" for The Partridge Family in 1974 and (with Jackie Mills) the theme for The Ghost Busters in 1975. After that trail goes cold and Hildebrand, who seems to have always shied away from the limelight, seems to have left her Hollywood life behind.

Neuregulin-1 regulation of neurotransmission
Mei, Lin, (PI)
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our long-term goal is to understand the role of neuregulin1 (NRG1) and its receptor ErbB4 in neurotransmission, allowing for an improved understanding of their contribution to pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Both NRG1 and ErbB4 are susceptibility genes of this heritable and highly debilitating mental disorder that affects 1% of the general population. However, the biological basis of the increased risk with NRG1 and ErbB4 genes remains unclear. Recently, we demonstrated that NRG1 facilitates depolarization-induced GABA release in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in a manner dependent on ErbB4, identifying a novel function of NRG1 } regulation of GABAergic transmission. While these preliminary observations are interesting and may provide insight into potential mechanisms by which the NRG1/ErbB4 signaling regulates pathogenesis of schizophrenia, more experiments are necessary to understand the role of NRG1 in the PFC. To this end, we proposed the following experiments. First, we will determine whether NRG1/ErbB4 regulates parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons in the PFC. We will determine whether ErbB4 is expressed at terminals of PV-positive interneurons in the PFC and investigate whether NRG1 regulation of GABA release requires ErbB4 in PV-positive cells. Second, we will investigate mechanisms of NRG1/ErbB4 regulation of evoked GABA release. We will determine whether NRG1 regulation of evoked GABA release requires PI3 kinase, study if CYT-1 is able to rescue the phenotype in ErbB4 mutant slices, and investigate whether synapsin is a PI3 kinase- downstream target. Third, we will explore functions and underlying mechanisms of NRG1 regulation of evoked GABA release. We will determine whether the effect of NRG1 on pyramidal neuron activity require ErbB4 and PI3 kinase, characterize the effect of NRG1 on pyramidal neuron excitability, and investigate whether working memory are deficient in ErbB4 mutant mice. It is our hope that the proposed experiments will provide new insights into functions and underlying mechanisms of NRG1 in regulating activity- dependent GABA release. The results will likely to contribute to a better understanding of how this trophic factor and its receptor ErbB4 regulate pathogenesis of schizophrenia. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our long-term goal is to understand the role of neuregulin1 (NRG1) and its receptor ErbB4 in pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This project is to investigate the novel functions of NRG1 and their underlying mechanisms. These studies will insight into potential mechanisms by which this trophic factor regulates synaptic plasticity. Such knowledge will contribute to a better understanding of pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
