Samsung updates – Does Samsung update all of its Android phones and tablets to the latest version?
Samsung updates – Market share of different versions of Android in January 2017. Click on the image to view its full size
The installation of Samsung updates of phones and tablets running on Google's Android operating system is a hit-and-miss affair. It is simply impossible for Google to release a new version of Android that works on hundreds of different Android devices. It is the device manufacturers that have to update the device drivers for older models to work with a newer version of Android. Bear in mind that since 2007, only six generations of the Apple iPhone compared to over 800 Android models made by many manufacturers have been released.
Apple iPhone and iPad updates
It is true that Apple updates older iPhones and iPads with the latest version of its iOS mobile operating system. However, many or all of the latest features won't appear on the older models, especially the iPhone models.
Is YOUR iPhone safe? Security expert says hackers can attack your device via dozens of popular iOS apps –

Windows Phone 7, 8.1 and 10 updates
Smartphones that run Windows use the Windows Phone versions of Windows 7/8.1/10.
With regard to Windows phones, there are several YouTube videos showing how to upgrade a Windows Phone 8.1 phone to Windows Phone 10. Unfortunately, Windows Phone 7 phones will never receive an update to Windows Phone 8.1 and therefore also not to Windows Phone 10. Moreover, it appears as if Microsoft does not provide security updates for Windows Phone 7. Indeed, the subject of Windows Phone security updates for any version receives next to no attention on the web, even from Microsoft itself.
Here is an article on the security of Windows Phone 8.1:
How secure is Windows Phone 8.1? Very! –
http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/20078_How_secure_is_Windows_Phone_81.php
There is nothing in that article on whether or not Microsoft provides security updates for Windows Phone 8.1 as it does for Windows 7/8.1/10 for desktop and laptop PCs. It just says that Microsoft has locked down that mobile operating system very well. That you can't go wrong as long as you only download apps from the Microsoft Store and don't open emails from unknown sources that might install malware.
Smartphone security is of the utmost importance
Since smartphones are used in public places, security is of the utmost importance. If you were using a laptop in a restaurant using its Wi-Fi, it would be much less secure than if you were using it at home. Since smartphones are much less secure than PCs, I would never use an Android phone for banking and shopping. Not even the latest models using the latest version of Android. It is not generally known that Google Android devices are not monitored effectively by anti-virus and malware apps.

Pushed with no choice, I would use any model of iPhone or a model using Windows Phone 10 to access banking and shopping sites. As far as I am concerned, online banking and shopping is something I do at home on a computer. Note that using a wired Ethernet connection to a modem router is more secure than using a Wi-Fi connection.
How the major manufacturers of Android phones rate on providing updates
The latest version of Android at the time of writing this is Nougat. The phone manufacturers have a very variable history of updating to the latest version. The following article gives a percentage score to the major phone manufacturers on how they deliver updates.
Android Upgrade Report Card: Grading the manufacturers on Nougat –
http://www.computerworld.com/article/3173068/android/android-upgrade-report-card-nougat.html
In brief, those scores are, from first to last:
– Google – Pixel, Nexus – 93%
– HTC – HTC 10 – One M9 – 77%
– OnePlus – 65%
– Motorola/Lenovo – 49%
– LG – 47%
– Samsung – 37%
– Blackberry – 0%
Samsung updates and other Android updates
If you have a new Samsung phone or tablet and a new version of Android becomes available, depending on who updates the phone – Samsung or your service provider – your device might receive the update or it might not.
However, if you have an old phone/tablet that is a few years old, it most probably won't receive the latest version of Android. This is because the phone manufacturers of Android phones and the phone service providers, including Samsung, have little or no interest in updating them. Their concern lies with their latest models. They want you to buy them instead of hanging on to an old model. Unfortunately, the situation is the same with regard to tablets.
Your Android phone provides which version it is using. The following Wikipedia page provides a list of the versions of Android under Platform usage. At the time of writing, the latest version was Nougat, release date October 4, 2016.
Android (operating system) –
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)
Google updates all of its Nexus smartphones and tablets
Google's Nexus smartphones and tablets receive Android updates directly from Google, avoiding any delays caused by phone service providers that other Android phones can experience.
That said, I do not use anything from Google because everything you do with a Google device, software or service, provides Google with information about you that it uses to create a personal profile. Then Google uses what it knows about you to deliver adverts that fall within your interest zone across your path on websites that run its adverts. Facebook uses what it knows about you in the same way. However, Facebook does not provide anything other than what runs from its website.
President Trump's Samsung Galaxy S4
Apparently, there are security concerns about President Trump, just into the first month of his job. He might be accessing Twitter using an old Android-based Samsung Galaxy S4 model dating back to 2013. It is not likely that this model receives Samsung updates that would make it run the latest version of Android called Nougat. This would mean that the phone is probably still using the Jelly Bean or KitKat versions dating back to 2013.
Note that versions of Android have the names of candy.
Trump's generation tend to hang on to their possessions as long as possible, because, for most of their lives, change took place relatively slowly compared to today's very rapid pace of change. If he is using an old Android phone, then he is going against the advice of his security experts and the advice of the best security companies.
They know that the strength of a security system is only as strong as its weakest link. In Trump's case, if he is using an old Samsung Galaxy S4, the weakest link is that phone.

This is a basic physics tutorial that is targeted at GCSE (grade 9 and grade 10) standard. The associated video tutorial is on its way.
What does this mean? Well let's define uniform motion first.
The term uniform refers to anything that stays constant or steady.
The term motion refers to movement or velocity. It's important to remember that entities can move at varying velocities; they can move really fast (e.g. 100 m/s) or not at all (e.g. a parked car has a uniform speed of 0 m/s).
NB: The graphic above illustrates four different cars (blue, green, orange and purple), each moving with uniform motion.
So Newton's First Law of Motion tells us that unless an external force is applied to an object, it will remain in a state of uniform motion.
It means that anything that's sitting at rest, will remain at rest - unless a force is applied to it.
It also means that anything that is moving, will continue to move at a steady and uniform velocity (i.e. constant speed and same direction), until an external force is applied to it.
Let's look at another example. A blue block sitting on a table at rest will not go anywhere. But if you were to apply a force to the block, say for instance with your finger, then it will move.
How fast it moves depends on the size of the force. You can see this in the graphic above, whereby the finger pushing the block to the right, is doing so with a smaller force (depicted by a short arrow), than the finger pushing the block to the left (where the force is depicted by a long arrow).
Is there a relationship between force size, and the resultant effect?
Yes, there certainly is. And this brings us to Newton's second law of motion.

Warming Center suffers tremendous loss
Warming Center suffers a tremendous loss with the death of Kathy McKinley-Goodrich

The last time Dan Heaton spoke to Kathy McKinley-Goodrich of Eastpointe, co-founder and executive director of the Macomb County Warming Center, was at the homeless shelter. When they spoke Sunday night, she had some fresh ideas for fundraising.
The following day, she died unexpectedly at her home. She was 80.
"I think the best honor I can pay to Kathy is to let her know that on Monday night - a few hours after she entered heaven -- 75 homeless men and women had a safe place to sleep and were given a hot meal," said Heaton, communications manager for the Macomb County Public Works Office and among those who worked with Goodrich, and supported her mission to help the homeless. Kathy was a true servant leader. I had the great honor to serve with her as a member of the Macomb County Warming Center board of directors and a volunteer in our shelter program.
"From Kathy, I learned how best to work together to serve some of the most vulnerable members of our community. In every action, in every decision she made, she worked to put the dignity of our homeless clients first. I learned so much from her over the years -- it is hard to put it into words. Our community is better because of her tireless work over many, many years."
Funeral services for McKinley-Goodrich, being held at St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church in St. Clair Shores, are likely to be attended by a host of family members, community leaders, pastors, volunteers, friends and victors - the downhearted living on the streets for whatever reason who were given a hand up by a kind and gentle woman who worked tirelessly to provide the a safe, warm place to spend the night.
"Many of us see the homeless and are moved to say a prayer or offer help in some small way but she springs into action," said Joe Sowerby, realtor and partner in Anton, Sowerby & Associates in Mount Clemens who, along with his wife Kata, started "The Warmth of Music."
The fundraiser for the Warming Center (coming up in March) was organized by the couple after the center lost $40,000 in state and federal funds. Sowerby's mother and Goodrich were also good friends who worked together to start the Warming Center in 1999, after police discovered the body of a man who burned to death in the bottom of a Dumpster.
No one should suffer and die that way and for most of her life, Goodrich sought to ensure that would never happen again.
Since the program and its partner churches began, thousands of individuals who do not qualify for traditional shelter services have been provided with a safe, warm place to spend the night along with a simple but nourishing evening and breakfast meal. On nights when Goodrich happened to stop by a church to make sure Warming Center volunteers and workers had what they needed, guests would also find a shoulder to cry on and a friend who wanted nothing more than the best for them.
Its Day Center, which provides additional services such as help in job hunting and resumes, was home base for Goodrich.
At any time during business hours one could find her there: helping a homeless person fill out a job application or figuring out a way to get them to a job they did manage to get. She held the title of executive director but never flaunted it for vanity sake or insisted that she was the reason the Warming Center existed. In her case it served as a beacon for those in need of compassion and charity given without question or judgement and for those who wished to join her crusade.
Every year, McKinley-Goodrich would invite are churches to host the shelter program for a week during the winter months, November through March. Over the years - there were several fall seasons where she feared there wouldn't be enough churches to cover all of the weeks including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
But she would pray.
"She had a strong faith in God and she would put that faith to practice," Sowerby said.
And then before a panic call would need to be made, she would hear from a parish volunteering time and space.
"Our community has lost a powerful, kind, selfless advocate of the poor and homeless. It is heartbreaking to lose such a wonderful human," said Sowerby. "The world is a lesser place - but heaven gained a low key, unassuming beautiful angel."
Heaton added the Warming Center's board of directors are committed to ensuring that her legacy continues.
McKinley-Goodrich and her husband, Kevin, were married for 30 years. She was also the loving mother of Mark (Deana) Henderson and Helene (Jerome) Henderson. She is also survived by her: granddaughter, Olivia; sister-in-law, Carole; nephew, Clayton (Norma) McKinley; niece, Sheila (Wayne) Rouse and great nephew, Josh.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Jan. 25 at St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church at 21201 East 13 Mile Road in St. Clair Shores.
Visitation: Saturday, from 9 to 10 a.m.
Services: Saturday, at 10 a.m.
Final resting place: Forest Lawn Cemetery at 11851 Van Dyke, Detroit.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Michigan Humane Society, 30300 Telegraph Road, Suite 220, Bingham Farms, MI 48025.

ATLANTA (AP) It's not unusual for Marcus Georges-Hunt to be asked to take a shot with the game on the line.
This time, he also was asked to win the game on defense.
Georges-Hunt scored 25 points, including two free throws with three seconds remaining, and Georgia Tech came back from a second-half deficit of 13 points to beat Clemson 75-73 on Tuesday night.
Donte Grantham's 3-pointer for Clemson with 11 seconds remaining tied the game. Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory decided not to call timeout, and Georges-Hunt said that kept Clemson's defense unsettled as he drove toward the basket.
The decisive free throws came only three days after Georges-Hunt's last-second shot gave Georgia Tech a 63-62 win over then-No. 19 Notre Dame.
Jaron Blossomgame, who led Clemson with 22 points, missed a last-second jumper.
Georgia Tech (16-12, 6-9 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won three straight ACC regular-season games for the first time since the 2007-08 season. Adam Smith made 4 of 7 3-pointers and had 20 points for the Yellow Jackets.
Grantham had 16 points, all in the second half, for Clemson (16-12, 9-7). The Tigers have lost four of six.
After Blossomgame had 17 points in the first half, Gregory assigned Georges-Hunt to cover the high-scoring forward.
Clemson led 53-40 before Georgia Tech began its comeback. Smith's fourth 3-pointer of the game gave Georgia Tech its first lead of the second half at 71-70.
Georgia Tech's Ben Lammers blocked a jumper by Grantham, and Smith sank two free throws on the other end to push the lead to three points.
Georgia Tech outscored Clemson 40-29 in the second half while making 13 of 22 - 59.1 percent- of its shots from the field.
The defensive breakdowns left Blossomgame baffled.
The loss damaged Clemson's postseason outlook. Coach Brad Brownell was hoping for a strong finish but instead the Tigers have lost back-to-back road games against North Carolina State and Georgia Tech, teams in the lower half of the conference standings.
Clemson was denied its fifth sweep of Georgia Tech in six years. Georgia Tech's only double-digits ACC loss was a 66-52 decision at Clemson on Feb. 13.
Clemson: F Josh Smith (nose) was held out. ... Former Clemson football standout Vic Beasley Jr., now with the Atlanta Falcons, sat near the Tigers' bench. ... Blossomgame, fourth in the ACC with his average of 18.1 points per game, became the 14th player in school history to score 500 points in a season. He passed the mark in the first half.
Georgia Tech: Georges-Hunt hit a long 3-pointer, barely beating the buzzer, to end the first half. ... The 44-35 halftime deficit was the Yellow Jackets' largest of the season. ... Georgia Tech won three straight ACC games late in the 2013-14 season, but that streak included one ACC tournament game. ... Quinton Stephens had 11 points while making three 3-pointers.
Clemson hosts No. 3 Virginia on Tuesday night.
Georgia Tech visits Boston College on Saturday.

Apparent human skeletal remains were found outside of a home Wednesday in northeast Houston, according to Houston police.
The discovery by a homeowner happened around noon on the 9900 block of Valley Lake Drive, just off Tidwell Road, where police said what appeared to be a human skull was found along the roadway. The skull was taken by the Harris County medical examiner.
Homicide investigators remained at the scene Wednesday evening with dogs scouring the area for any additional remains.
Yesterday, in an unrelated incident, new residents to a Montrose-area home found what are believed to be human remains.

A PICTURE of a mischievous toddler on the brink of bouncing on top of his grandfather – while he blissfully enjoys 40 winks after a hearty lunch – has scooped a city photographer a prestigious prize in the world's biggest photography awards.
Alex Ingle's "Wake Up Call", taken after an Easter family lunch in Poland, won the Open Smile category in the Sony World Photography Awards.
A record-breaking 230,103 snaps from more than 186 countries were entered into the awards' three competitions – Professional, Open and Youth.
Mr Ingle's photograph was selected from 95,541 submissions by an expert panel chaired by former newspaper picture editor Jael Marschner.
The 31-year-old, from Newington, said he and his wife Gabriela, who is Polish, had been attending a family gathering in Miechow for Easter last year when by chance he spotted his son Leo, then aged one, about to jump on "Dziadzia Jacek" (Grandfather Jack), who had been snoring after the celebratory meal.
Mr Ingle, a documentary filmmaker who has worked on a variety of projects, including Greenland's receding ice cap, the catacombs in Rome and Iceland's gorges, said he had been "amazed" to receive a call from competition organisers saying he had been named the world's best Smile photographer.
"This is the first time anything like this has happened to me," he said. "It is still sinking in. I will be contacting Leo's grandfather [Jacek Nawort] tonight news.
Mr Ingle, one of ten category winners announced yesterday by the awards organisers, the World Photography Organisation, is now competing for the Open Photographer of the Year title, and a prize worth £3500 to be announced on April 21.
Other winners include Czech photographer's Michaela Smidova snap of polar bear taking a bath at a zoo in Prague, which took the prize in the Nature and Wild category.
All ten winners will receive a Sony a7 II camera and will have their winning images exhibited at Somerset House, London, from April 22-May 8 and published in the 2016 edition of the annual Sony World Photography Awards book.

Open Source Web Server NGINX Closes $3 Million in Funding
Open source web server developer NGINX today announced that it has secured $3 million in a Series A round of financing coming from BV Capital, Runa Capital and an entity affiliated with the private investment firm of Dell Chairman and CEO Michael Dell.
NGINX's Web server boasts significant increases in performance, to the tune of 10x over other leading Web servers on the same hardware. Its lean architecture, scalability and security has put it as the fastest and only-growing web server in the world with a market share of 8.5% across all domains, according to Netcraft. This is still a far cry behind Apache, which has about 65% of the Web server market, but has been losing a small amount of market share each month.
As a result of its ability to help companies squeeze more performance out of each server, the company said its web server currently powers over 20% of the top 1,000 biggest websites, including Facebook, Groupon, LivingSocial, Hulu, Dropbox and WordPress.
The company will put the cash infusion to work to support its commercial arm, Nginx, Inc., which was started in July 2011, along with its expansion into the U.S. with a new San Francisco headquarters in Q4 2011.
"By ensuring on-demand, high performance infrastructure product matching the needs of modern online businesses, NGINX has established itself as the second most popular open source Web server in the world and the only one with a growing market share," said Dmitry Chikhachev of Runa Capital. "It all makes the company a very attractive investment, particularly as NGINX prepares to build on its success with the launch of new commercial solutions."
"Several of the companies we invested in were able to solve significant scaling issues by switching their web platforms to NGINX," said Thomas Gieselmann of BV Capital. "NGINX transparently and effectively enables the growth of the largest sites on the Internet today."
The company says that it has already signed its first commercial customers and is currently creating business and technology partnerships in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
"For service providers, there is another choice in the market for workloads that are becoming increasingly demanding," said Agatha Poon of analyst firm Tier1 Research.
The company plans to offer a commercial-grade connection processing and optimization software platform, around mid-2012 which will enable advanced performance, traffic management, extended configuration and security features for hosting, cloud and enterprise server infrastructure. NGINX will also offer flexible options to upgrade existing web installations to modern and efficient high density web software.
"My advice to anyone running a Web site today who is hitting performance constraints is to investigate whether they can use NGINX," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of CloudFlare, which built its Web performance and security platform using NGINX as a foundation. "Our experience shows that switching to NGINX enables full utilization of the modern operating system and existing hardware resources."
"NGINX has received overwhelming support from the open source community," said Igor Sysoev, the author of the software. "This investment allows us to take the performance and efficiency of NGINX to yet another level, strengthening its core advantages with long-awaited functionality."

次に、リーダ・ライタ90を介してカード40にデータを書き込んだり、読み出したりする動作について説明する。 Next, write data to the card 40 through the reader-writer 90, an operation or read will be described.
まず、上位機種98から与えられた書き込み命令と情報がリーダ・ライタ90内のパラレル/シリアル変換回路101にてシリアル信号に変換される。 First, a write instruction and information provided by the superordinate model 98 is converted into a serial signal by the parallel / serial conversion circuit 101 of the reader-writer 90. 続いて、発振回路102から出力される無線周波信号がこのシリアル信号によってディジタル変調(ASK変調)され、さらに電力増幅された後、アンテナ(送信回路)104に印加される。 Subsequently, the radio frequency signal outputted from the oscillation circuit 102 is digitally modulated (ASK modulation) by the serial signal, after being further power amplification, is applied to the antenna (transmitter circuit) 104. 電磁誘導によりアンテナ(送信回路)104に印加された信号と同じ信号がカード40側のアンテナ(受信回路)201に誘起される。 Antenna same signal applied signal (transmission circuit) 104 is induced in the card 40 side antenna (receiver circuit) 201 by electromagnetic induction. この誘起された信号は、カード内で増幅された後、復調回路202によって元の2値のシリアル信号に復調される。 The induced signal is amplified within the card, it is demodulated into a serial signal of original binary by the demodulation circuit 202. さらに、このシリアル信号はシリアル/パラレル変換回路203によってパラレル信号に変換された後、制御回路204で書き込み命令・情報が識別され、情報だけがデータメモリ205へ格納される。 Furthermore, this serial signal is converted into a parallel signal by the serial / parallel conversion circuit 203, a write instruction and information is identified by the control circuit 204, only the information is stored in the data memory 205.
カード40に対してリーダ・ライタ90からデータの読み出し命令が伝送される。 Data read command from the reader-writer 90 is transmitted to the card 40. カード40内の制御回路204はリーダ・ライタ90のアンテナ(送信回路)104から送信された読み出し命令を検出し、この命令によって指定されたデータメモリ205の領域から情報を読み出す。 Control circuitry in the card 40 204 detects the read instruction transmitted from the antenna (transmitter circuit) 104 of the reader-writer 90 reads information from the area of the data memory 205 specified by the instruction. 読み出されたパラレル情報信号はパラレル/シリアル変換回路206によってシリアル信号に変換され、さらに変調回路208で変調され、且つ電力増幅された後、アンテナ(送信回路)209に供給される。 Parallel information signal read is converted into a serial signal by a parallel / serial conversion circuit 206, it is further modulated by the modulation circuit 208, after being and power amplification, supplied to the antenna (transmitter circuit) 209. 書き込み時と同様に電磁誘導によりカード側のアンテナ(送信回路)209に与えられた信号と同じ信号がリーダ・ライタ90側のアンテナ(受信回路)104に誘起される。 Same signal as the signal supplied to the card side of the antenna (transmitter circuit) 209 is induced in the reader-writer 90 side of the antenna (receiver circuit) 104 by electromagnetic induction as in the case of writing. この信号はリーダ・ライタ106内で元のディジタル情報に復元される。 This signal is restored to the original digital information in the reader-writer 106.

Hey guys, since today is the first day of February, I'm going to ask if you guys are ready to share your worlds, with any edits and changes, or if you want me to judge the older worlds.
As well, I am thinking of holding off the next competition until March, just because I haven't had time to prepare and plan this platform much. Since my exams are over, I will be able to provide some more time here.
I will be soon working on an organizer, and other aspects that will make this platform entertaining, and unique.
I thank you all for being a part of this platform, and I can't wait to see where things go.


Based on the successful implementation of the Early Childhood Center, Pre-School and Primary School, ISRH established a bilingual International Secondary School. According to the pedagogic concept of ISRH Secondary School, it is possible to attend for either three or four years.
After three years, there are transfer options to Swiss High Schools. Therefore, the demanding syllabus of the highest Secondary One Level in the Kanton Aargau (the "Bezirskschule"), is combined with the international programme of the Secondary One level of Cambridge University with a focus on Science. Alternatively, progression to other specialised schools would be possible, as well as joining a Swiss apprenticeship programme in a company.
Transfer options from ISRH to the Swiss public and other school systems.
After four years, adolescents with an adequate level of English language skills can graduate from the internationally recognized exams International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) of the Cambridge University. For many students this is an important step towards A levels, which after two more years of studying would open the door to universities worldwide.
ISRH has already successfully established the combination of local and international educational programmes at Pre- and Primary School levels and now offers at Secondary School level too, the option of transferring from or to the public school system.
As of summer 2017, ISRH opened the first class of Secondary School. Every year a consecutive class will be added. Therefore, ISRH is aiming to open the new school premises in the Rheinfelden Augarten area during the schoolyear 2018/19.

Q: How to limit the height of modal in a responsive design without using overflow hidden? Apparently Bootstrap modal view height are not responsive.  [sample can be find here] (http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals)
I would like my modal height to get smaller based on users device size choice. How can I achieve it without using
overflow: hidden;

which seems cuts off the modal content. I don't neither want to use overflow-y: scroll;

@media (min-width: 900px) {
    .my-dialog .modal-dialog {
        width: 900px;
        max-height: 750px;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
}

A: I don't know if you have ever heard of the CSS length units vh, vw, vmin, vmax. They could be the solution to your problem.
From <length> - CSS | MDN from  the Mozilla Developer Network:

*

*1vw = 1% of the width of the viewport.

*1vh = 1% of the height of the viewport.

*1vmin = 1% of the minimum value between the height and the width of the viewport.

*1vmax = 1% of the maximum value between the height and the width of the viewport.

In your case what you are looking for is the unit vh.
You may want to check the browser support table for the viewport units though.

Produced via a proprietary process resulting in a single rhodamine modification exclusively on the N-terminus of ubiquitin. This site-specific modification results in an ubiquitin that is fully functional at the C-terminus, and with the full compliment of reactive lysines to allow for polyubiquitin chain incorporation. This reagent allows for poly-ubiquitin chain incorporation of rhodamine-N-terminal ubiquitin with higher efficiency and detection sensitivity than traditionally modified ubiquitins.
Soluble in aqueous buffer or DMSO up to 10 mg/ml.
Rhodamine-N-term-ubiquitin gives a strong signal in the range of 0.1-1 μM, depending on exact experimental conditions. Optimal fluorescence at pH 8.0 is monitored using Ex570 nm and Em590 nm wavelengths respectively.
Store at -20°C once reconstituted. Avoid multiple freeze/ thaw cycles. Product is light-sensitive, protect from light.
Ubiquitin modified with fluorescein via primary amine coupling. This results in multiple fluoresceinated ubiquitin species with modified lysines as well as the N-terminus. Although having a fully functional C-terminus, lysine modification may limit the ability of this reagent to efficiently incorporate into poly-ubiquitin chains.
Soluble in aqueous buffer or DMSO up to 20 mg/ml.
Fluorescein-ubiquitin gives a strong signal in the range of 0.1-1 µM, depending on exact experimental conditions. Optimal fluorescence at pH 8.0 is monitored using Ex490 nm and Em515 nm wavelengths respectively.
Store at -20°C once reconstituted. Avoid multiple freeze/ thaw cycles.

Ideal as an alternative to radio-labeled ubiquitin, with detection by avidin-linked reagents. Allows for poly-ubiquitin chain incorporation of biotin-N-terminal ubiquitin with higher efficiency and detection sensitivity than traditionally modified biotin-ubiquitin. Produced via a proprietary process resulting in a single biotin modification exclusively on the N-terminus of ubiquitin. This ubiquitin mutant contains only a single lysine (K48) with all other lysines mutated to arginine, and is able to form poly-ubiquitin chains with other ubiquitin molecules via the K48 lysine only.
Soluble in aqueous buffers up to 20 mg/ml.
Depending on desired signal strength and assay conditions, biotin-N-term Ub should be used in conjunction with native ubiquitin at combined concentration range of 10-50 μM with a 1:2 to 1:20 ratio of biotin-N-term Ub: native Ub, respectively. Typical amounts for a 20 μL reaction: 250 ng to 2 μg biotin-Nterm- Ub, 5 μg native ubiquitin. Poly-ubiquitin chain visualization/quantitation can be performed via avidin-linked detection.

This site-specific modification results in an ubiquitin that is fully functional at the C-terminus. This ubiquitin mutant lacks all reactive lysine residues which have been mutated to arginine. These mutations render the protein unable to form poly-ubiquitin chains and can be used as a negative control or to detect mono-ubiquitination. Detection with avidin-linked reagents allows for a higher efficiency and detection sensitivity than with antiubiquitin antibodies.
Soluble in aqueous buffers up to 5 mg/ml.
Produced via a proprietary process resulting in a single biotin modification exclusively on the amino-terminus of ubiquitin. This site-specific modification results in an ubiquitin that is fully functional at the carboxy-terminus, and with the full complement of reactive lysines to allow for polyubiquitin chain incorporation. Detection with avidin-linked reagents allows for efficient detection and/or capture.
Depending on desired signal strength and assay conditions, biotin-N-term Ub should be used in conjunction with native ubiquitin at combined concentration range of 10-50 μM with a 1:2 to 1:20 ratio of biotin-N-term Ub: native Ub, respectively.
Store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid multiple freeze/ thaw cycles.
Ubiquitin modified with biotin via primary amine coupling. This results in multiple biotinylated ubiquitin species modified at the N-terminus, as well as lysine residues. Although having a fully functional C-terminus, lysine modification may limit the ability of this reagent to propagate polyubiquitin chains. Biotinylated ubiquitin can be detected using avidin-linked reagents.
Reaction conditions will need to be optimized for each specific application. We recommend using Biotinylated Recombinant Human Ubiquitin in conjunction with native ubiquitin at a combined concentration of 10-50 μM with a 1:1 to 1:5 ratio of biotinylated ubiquitin:native ubiquitin. The resulting poly-Ubiquitin chains can be visualized or captured with avidin-linked reagents.

MAC Man: Coach Ben Armer's weight room
Ball State football strength and conditioning coach turns passion for weightlifting into career
Ben Armer blows his whistle to start warm ups on Sept. 29 in the football weightroom. Armer is the director of strength and conditioning for Ball State's football team. Kaiti Sullivan, DN
By Elizabeth Wyman
October 5, 2017 | 10:24am EDT
As a 12 year old growing up in Janesville, Wisconsin hockey was everything. So when Ben Armer turned on a VHS tape of hockey legend, Wayne Gretzky demonstrating the importance of weight training, he knew the words coming out of "The Great One's" mouth were significant.
"I went down, got my dad's weight set from 1970-whatever and started lifting weights," Armer said. "Probably incorrectly, I was probably too young to start, I didn't care."
17 years later, Armer finds himself in the John W. and Janice B. Fisher Football Training Complex demonstrating that same importance of weight training to the Ball State football team.
Familiar with the MAC
In the midst of his second season as head strength and conditioning coach for the football team, Armer is no stranger to the Mid-American Conference.
After receiving a Division-I football offer to be a punter at Western Michigan, the three-sport athlete began his first of nearly nine years (and counting) spent as a player and coach in the MAC.
"It was my only opportunity to play at the highest level, but I think when you are younger and probably stupid in my case, everybody always thinks they're going to the NFL," Armer said.
He said he struggled with the fact that his role as a punter was "one dimensional." That's when the weight room became his best friend.
"I kind of took the weight room on as a way to keep my teammates challenged and make me feel like I was doing enough to help the team," Armer said. "It was kind of a way for me to earn respect from my teammates at the time."
Armer graduated in 2012 earning Academic All-MAC honors three straight years and was named to the All-MAC third-team selection in 2009.
It wasn't until his junior year of college that he realized he wanted to make a career out of his passion for strength training instead of business management.
"I was like, I can't sit at a desk for 30 years," Armer said. "I want to be on the floor, I want to be moving around."
After interning for then Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck, Armer attended a one-day strength and conditioning clinic at Ball State with then head strength and conditioning coach, David Feely.
Only three coaches showed up to the clinic. Two left at lunchtime, so Armer used that opportunity to learn one-on-one from Feeley. Armer then received a call less than two years later from Feeley, offering him a position as a graduate assistant.
Feeley said he immediately knew Armer was a smart coach.
"He's one of the strongest strength coaches I ever met anywhere in America," Feeley said. "When you have somebody that can understand what the athletes are going through physically and then being able to prescribe it scientifically, he's the best scientist and artist that you can hope to have running a weight room."
With traits of a scientist and an artist, Feeley said Armer is that methodical in his weight room.
"He's basically taking care of somebody's baby," Feeley said. "Just knowing who he is, and how methodical he is on planning … he plans scientifically, but also personally."
If it wasn't apparent enough already how highly Feeley thought of Armer, the greatest compliment that Feeley gave him was recommending him to Ball State football head coach Mike Neu to take his place when Feeley left to become the assistant strength and conditioning football coach at South Carolina.
"I brought him in and I was like 'oh my gosh, I feel like I was talking to the same guy [Feeley] just different hair,'" Neu said. "His passions, his intensity, and his organization was very detailed and we believed obviously in the same things."
Most young coaches would be over the moon to receive an offer to be part of a Division-I coaching job. He was, but he didn't take the job because of that fact.
"This was a great opportunity, but I think I've learned from enough good mentors of mine to know that you have to be in a good enough situation to take a job on," Armer said. "If you don't have the right culture created, you're not going to have a job for long."
Neu's culture was one he wanted to be a part of as he liked the family aspect that the Ball State football program portrayed.
"Every coach he [Neu] brought in replicated that same type of passion that same type of energy," Armer said.
Most of all, Armer took this job because he loves MAC football and prides himself in witnessing the hard work his players put in transpire to the field.
One of those guys is cornerback Josh Miller. The redshirt junior started summer workouts at 170 pounds. Now, 10 pounds heavier, — which Armer knows doesn't seem like much — he's watched Miller grow faster and stronger on a day-to-day basis.
"More than anything it's the intangibles that he brings now," Armer said. "The toughness, the confidence and the attitude that he has is contagious around the entire team."
Miller knows he's bigger and stronger now. He credits Armer — even if it hasn't always been enjoyable.
"If he see's me not going 110 percent, then he'll let me know," Miller said. "You're slacking today, or hey, I thought you wanted to be great type of thing," are all phrases Armer throws at Miller during workouts if he's not up to standard.
Senior defensive lineman Anthony Winbush — FBS leader in sacks and five away from claiming the all-time career Ball State sacks record — knows not to slack off in the weight room, even if he's not getting the immediate results he wants. Slacking off is unacceptable to Armer.
"It's very high energy, if it's not high energy things do not go well," Winbush said. "He [Armer] has a protocol in the weight room. If it's not up to his standards, it's not going to be a good day."
Those standards are high, but when it's his job to whip Division-I MAC football players into shape, it's a necessity.
"This is where I want to be," Armer said. "I love this level of college football. It's blue collar and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Television coverage, including workouts and behind-the-scenes footage from Lucas Oil Stadium, can be seen throughout the week and weekend on the NFL Network and NFL Network HD.
Brooks and Ducasse, who will be among 47 total offensive linemen at the Combine, begin their four-day schedule Wednesday, Feb. 24, and continue through Saturday, Feb. 27. Moats and Tracy, who will be part of the 66 defensive end invites at the Combine, start their four-day schedule Friday, Feb. 26, and end it Monday, March 1.
Brooks, who will wear "OL04" on his workout gear, and Ducasse, who will wear "OL15" on his workout gear, will take part in hospital pre-exam and x-rays Wednesday as well as an orientation session and several interviews with NFL team personnel. Moats, who will wear "DL35" on his workout gear, and Tracy, who will wear "DL55" on his workout gear, will have their hospital pre-exams and other similar first-day orientation Friday.
Players' second and third-day schedules (Thursday-Friday for Brooks and Ducasse, Saturday-Sunday for Moats and Tracy) will include measurements, more medical examinations, media sessions, psychological testing, NFL Players Association meetings and more interviews with NFL team personnel.
Brooks, Ducasse and all of Group 1 (offensive linemen) will get on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday to take part in timing, workout stations and other skill drills, while Moats, Tracy and all of Group 8 (defensive linemen) will have their workout day Monday.
Brooks, a Richmond, Va., native was a two-time All-CAA Football honoree in his James Madison career including a First Team selection in 2009. The 6-3, 300-pound guard also earned Third Team All-America honors in 2009 from both The Sports Network and Associated Press. The senior was a leader for the Dukes offensive unit which ranked second in the league by averaging better than 180 rushing yards per contest. James Madison's offensive line, anchored by Brooks at the guard position, surrendered just 18 sacks in 11 games in 2009 which was tied for the second-fewest among CAA Football squads.
Ducasse, a 6-5, 330-pound left tackle for the Minutemen, was a First Team Associated Press All-American and a First Team All-CAA Football selection in 2009. The Stamford, Conn., native was part of a UMass offensive unit which finished second in total offense (377.64 ypg), fourth in passing offense (229.18) and fifth in rushing offense (148.45 ypg) in CAA Football this year. In 35 career starts, Ducasse helped pave the way for a 100-yard rusher in 23 games.
Moats, the league's 2009 Defensive Player of the Year and only its second Buck Buchanan National Defensive Player of the Year winner, was among the league leaders in sacks, tackles for loss and defensive linemen tackles at the end of the 2009 season. The Portsmouth, Va., native made 90 tackles in 11 games this season for a mark of 8.2 per game. His 2.14 tackles for loss per game not only led the league, but also ranked as the best mark in the nation.
Tracy, another of CAA Football's most dominant defensive ends in 2009, was a Buchanan Award candidate and a First Team All-CAA Football honoree in 2009. Recognized as an All-American by five different publications in 2009, Tracy ranked seventh nationally with 1.57 tackles for loss per game and 15th at 0.79 sacks per game. With 12 sacks, he equaled the single-season school record established by Luke Cullinane in 1996. Additionally, Tracy ranked sixth in the conference in tackles among defensive linemen with 5.6 per game.

Belgrade was full of mosques once. Now, only this one remains, the last religious legacy of the Turks who ruled here. When the mosques in the city were on the decline, the raising of the flag on this mosque would signify to all the others that it was time to pray. It's the only place for Muslims in the city to pray.
How popular is Bayraklee Mosque?
People normally club together Knez Mihailova and Skadarlija while planning their visit to Bayraklee Mosque.
Nice mosque in downtown Belgrad!
Its nicely protected Turkish heritage.

Looks like is the latest star to jump on the celeb diet trend.
For $225.00, you can purchase one "kit, " consisting of food for three full days (approximately 1500 calories per day), including mint cacao chip shakes, cold-pressed juices and healthy lunch and dinner options such as shredded kale salads and veggie pad thai.
"It's adding a lot of natural nutrients, " the iconic model explains in her interview with Elle.com. "To me, the best thing about Cindy's Essentials is how you sprinkle it your real life. It's not a cleanse. That's such a thing, like 'Oh, I'm on a cleanse.' But this is just having something as convenient as vending machine food that's good for you."
Another perk to the convenient plan? You can still have caffeine.
"Yeah, but it's special caffeine, " Pasquale says. "It's cold-brewed coffee so it has less acid in it. And it has almond milk in it. And then the other option is a matcha tea with almond milk. They're healthy caffeine choices."
"I like green tea, " Crawford adds. "I'm a green tea person... My body wants that every morning. Just like I need salad."
The plan also mimics Crawford's daily diet, which is jam-packed with nutritious foods, although she does enjoy indulging from time to time.
"I would say a kale salad with a piece of salmon on it..., " she reveals of her go-to favorite healthy meal. "I like food. I could name a million dishes. I like to eat with my family and they like pasta, of course, so I'll just have the turkey meatballs on a bed of raw spinach. Or I'll make salmon and mashed potatoes and asparagus and skip the mashed potatoes. The more you eat healthy, the more you want to do it because you feel better."
As for Crawford's advice if you're looking to lead a healthier life?
"I would say to stop mindless eating and focus on portion control. If you sit on the couch with a bag of chips, it could be gone very quickly, " she explains. "I'm not saying don't have the chips—put however many you think is an appropriate serving in a bowl and eat that. We've gotten so gluttonous. Mindless eating is not good. You're not even enjoying the food at that point."
She also adds that it's important to "have snacks" and "keep your blood sugar level all day" in addition to noting the importance of fitness.
"Exercise is good, but I don't exercise every day, " she says. "I exercise probably three or four times per week."

Alabama Senator endorses Trump
Senator Jeff Sessions becomes the first senator to endorse billionaire Donald Trump for president.

Senator Jeff Sessions
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) on Sunday endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump for president, becoming the first senator to endorse the first-time candidate and billionaire businessman, Fox News reported.
The Alabama Republican endorsed Trump at a campaign rally in Mobile.
"The American people are not happy with their government. So some say we should forget it, there is an opportunity this year, Tuesday, the last opportunity we have for the people's voice to be heard. Has the government fixed immigration? Donald Trump will do it," Sessions said, according to Fox News.
"I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States," he added.
The network noted that endorsement is not a total surprise, considering Sessions has appeared on stage before at a Trump rally. However, it will likely be considered a setback for fellow GOP presidential candidate Texas Senator Ted Cruz, whom Sessions has supported.
The backing from Sessions came two days after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie offered a surprise endorsement to Trump, saying there is no one better prepared to lead the country or defeat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should she become the Democratic nominee.
Christie's endorsement came days after he suspended his own presidential bid.
Trump has also been endorsed by a number of controversial public figures, including leading American White Supremacist David Duke - a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan – and Jean-Marie Le Pen, who founded the far-right National Front party in France.

How About Donald Trump Hires Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul, and Daniel McAdams?
| Ron Paul Institute
In a Sunday Target Liberty editorial, Robert Wenzel provides some advice for President Donald Trump, who Wenzel relates has decided to "surround himself with warmongers" in executive department positions despite Trump seeming to want to move foreign policy in a different direction. Trump would have been wise, writes Wenzel, to choose different people for Trump administration personnel, including hiring Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and Ron Paul Institute Executive Director Daniel McAdams for important foreign policy-related positions.
Wenzel writes:
I consider Trump to be a savvy New York City street hustler, maybe the best ever, but the skill is not transferring well to the White House.
He has sharks all around him and does not appear to know how to protect himself in this environment. What's more, he seems to bring his enemies into his Administration, apparently not being able to gauge just how vicious and dangerous these people are.
Why the hell does he surround himself with warmongers who probably pray to a statute of Brutus every night?
If Trump had any depth of understanding, he would have named Tulsi Gabbard as Secretary of Defense and Rand Paul as Secretary of State. They are both anti-war and appear to be weak on the silent coup stuff. He should have then brought in Daniel McAdams as national security adviser. The three would have taken the country in a foreign policy direction that Trump appears to want to go.
