LaRosa, C.A. et al., Hamadeh, R.M. et al., Yamamoto, N. et al., Spraggon, G. et al., Handa, M. et al., et al.
Deletions were generated in vitro in the leader region of the tryptophan operon of Serratia marcescens and subsequently incorporated into the Escherichia coli chromosome in single copy form [1].
In striking contrast, retinol-depleted rats immunized with lipopolysaccharides from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcesens produced an antibody response indistinguishable from retinol-sufficient animals [2].
A comparison of the NH2-terminal sequence of the enzyme with the (previously determined) homologue from Serratia marcescens, a monomer with a molecular weight of 45,000, showed that the larger Serratia subunit came into register with amino acid 14 of the Erwinia subunit [3].
Resistance can develop in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Serratia marcescens, albeit infrequently [4].
Several of these new antibiotics have an exceedingly broad spectrum of activity that includes Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as Enterobacteriaceae, Serratia, Citrobacter, indole-positive Proteus, and anaerobes (including Bacteroides fragilis) [5].
Crystal structure of a GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase: Serratia marcescens aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase [6].
Superattenuation in the tryptophan operon of Serratia marcescens [1].
Investigation suggested that pediatric-sized vacuum tubes containing ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) were the source of the organisms, and the epidemic strain of Serratia was recovered from 41 (35%) of the 116 tubes cultured [7].
When anti-Gal bound onto the lipopolysaccharide of a representative blood isolate, Serratia marcescens #21, it blocked its alternative complement pathway (ACP) lysis and made the organism serum resistant [8].
In contrast, when anti-Gal bound to the capsular polysaccharide of a serum sensitive Serratia, #7, it increased ACP killing of this strain [8].
The mechanism of blockade of ACP lysis by anti-Gal did not involve a decrease in the number of C3 molecules deposited onto Serratia #21 or an inhibition of the binding of C3b to its LPS, nor did it change the iC3b and C3d degradation products of bound C3b or prevent membrane attack complex formation on this organism [8].
Gentamicin-resistant Serratia [9].
Serratia sensitivity to ampicillin and tetracycline was an epidemiological marker of a common-source outbreak [10].
The crystal structure of anthranilate synthase (AS) from Serratia marcescens, a mesophilic bacterium, has been solved in the presence of its substrates, chorismate and glutamine, and one product, glutamate, at 1.95 A, and with its bound feedback inhibitor, tryptophan, at 2.4 A [11].
The structures of anthranilate synthase of Serratia marcescens crystallized in the presence of (i) its substrates, chorismate and glutamine, and a product, glutamate, and (ii) its end-product inhibitor, L-tryptophan [11].
DNA sequence of the Serratia marcescens lipoprotein gene [12].
However, Serratia treatment almost completely abolished the increase in platelet surface GMP-140 induced by low concentrations of alpha-thrombin (0.5 nmol/L) and diminished the downregulation of platelet surface GPIX by 60.9% +/- 5.6% (mean +/- SEM, n = 3) [13].
Human fibroblast collagenase contains an amino acid sequence homologous to the zinc-binding site of Serratia protease [14].
The aspartate transcarbamoylases (ATCase) from Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli exhibit unique regulatory and kinetic properties and were dissociated into their constituent regulatory and catalytic subunits [15].
Previously, we constructed a plasmid in which the ColE1 RNAI was separated from the primer and placed under transcriptional control of the Serratia marcesens tryptophan promoter [16].
Treatment of Serratia polyribosomes with RNase or pronase reduced the number of survivors [17].
We evaluated the safety, efficacy, and microbiologic activity of combination amdinocillin and cefoxitin treatment in 17 patients with complicated urinary tract infections caused by multiply-resistant Serratia marcescens [18].
Lysozyme-tris-EDTA spheroplast preparations of the Serratia isolates were also tested for potassium ion leakage following exposure to chlorhexidine and it was found that the inner membrane was responsible for the decreased susceptibility of the organism of chlorhexidine [19].
The anticomplement properties of two chromatographically distinct fractions of a phenol-extracted lipopolysaccharide isolated from Serratia marcescens were assessed by means of the standard sheep erythrocyte hemolytic assay and an alternative pathway-selective kinetic assay using rabbit erythrocytes [20].
Substrates with extreme structural features, like poly(dA).poly(dT) or poly(dG).poly(dC), are cleaved by the Serratia nuclease with a 50 times higher or 10 times lower K(m), respectively, as salmon testis DNA [21].
The cecropin genes were also induced when the flies were kept on food with the Drosophila pathogenic bacterium Serratia marcescens Db10 or its non-pathogenic derivative Db1140 [22].
Flow cytometric studies, using a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), showed that Serratia marcescens protease treatment removed greater than 97% of the glycocalicin portion of GPIb but did not affect the changes in the expression of GPIX or GMP-140 that were induced by high concentrations of alpha-thrombin (10 nmol/L) [13].
Experiments with Serratia protease-treated and Bernard-Soulier platelets showed that neither platelet surface GPIb nor cathepsin G-induced proteolysis of GPIb were required for the cathepsin G-induced redistribution of the remnant of the GPIb-IX complex or the cathepsin G-induced increase in platelet surface P-selectin [23].
Three distinct fragments, the 38-kDa fragment produced by Serratia marcescens protease as well as the 45- and 35-kDa fragments produced by trypsin, had the same NH2 terminus as the intact GPIb alpha-chain (apparent molecular mass = 140 kDa) [24].
The regulatory significance of these sequence features is discussed with respect to the rbs operon. rbsK has been cloned downstream from the Serratia marcescens trp promoter on a multicopy plasmid [25].
Analysis of sequence alignments between the recently published sequence of human fibroblast collagenase and a computer file of published protease sequences has revealed a previously unrecognized homology to the 11 amino acids flanking the zinc-binding site of Serratia protease, a bacterial metalloprotease [14].
The Serratia marcescens haemophore (HasA) is folded into a globular form and tyrosine and histidine are involved in haem ligation [26].
Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high resolution mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we identified N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (BHL) and N-hex anoyl-L-homoserine lactone (HHL) in cell-free Serratia culture supernatants [27].
Cloning and sequence analysis of the gene for a carbapenem-hydrolyzing class A beta-lactamase, Sme-1, from Serratia marcescens S6 [28].
In a multicenter study, the MICs of FK-037 for 90% of the strains tested (MIC90s) were < or = 1 microgram/ml for members of the family Enterobacteriaceae other than Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter spp., and Serratia marcescens [29].

Roadside blast kills three in Sri Lanka
Posted on January 26, 2007 | Politics
Jan 26, 2007 (AFP) – Suspected Tamil Tiger rebels set off a Claymore mine in northern Sri Lanka Friday, killing two security personnel and a civilian, police said. The powerful roadside bomb was exploded in the district of Vavuniya as troops and police were on a routine patrol, a police official in Vavuniya town, 260 kilometres (160 miles) north of the capital, said by telephone.
He said a police officer and a soldier were killed together with a civilian while three more were wounded.
The past month has seen a surge in violence in Vavuniya with court records showing 38 civilians and 24 security personnel were killed there this month despite a heavy presence of police and troops.
In the island's restive east, ground troops who captured the town of Vakarai from Tamil Tigers were consolidating their gains, military officials said.
An escalation in violence since December 2005 has left more than 3,800 people dead, despite a Norwegian-arranged truce in place since 2002. More than 60,000 people have been killed in Sri Lanka's Tamil separatist conflict in the past 35 years.

The ECAC Holiday Hockey Festival was an annual NCAA men's Division I ice hockey tournament held annually at Madison Square Garden in New York City around the Christmas and New Year holiday. The tournament began in the year the ECAC was founded and continued for fifteen years before dissolving after the 1976–77 season.

The tournament was the first mid-season event sponsored by ECAC Hockey and initially only invited four members of the conference to participate. As the competition grew and became more prestigious it was expanded to 6 teams for the 1964 iteration and, two years later, invited the first non-conference member to participate (Minnesota). The championship returned to a 4-team tournament in 1967. For the first 12 years the tournament was held before Christmas but began to wane in interest and was not held in 1973. After a year hiatus it returned, this time being played after the New Year. The change to January didn't seem to help matters and the Festival was permanently discontinued three years later.

Fil-Am spiker excited to don PH colors
Mar-Jana Phillips (MB photo | Rio Leonelle Deluvio)
by Jerome Lagunzad
Given what she considers as a "dream chance" to don the country's tri-colors for the very first time, Sta. Lucia star outside hitter Mar-Jana "MJ" Phillips won't let it slip away.
The 5-foot-10 Filipino-American was among those of the 18 hopefuls who showed up in the initial tryout set by the Larong Volleyball ng Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) for the formation of the Philippine national women's volleyball team ahead of two big international tournaments this year.
Phillips, who will turn just 23 next month, was one of the early birds and even displayed her attacking prowess during the glorified scrimmage, with returning national team coach Ramil De Jesus getting a clear view from the sidelines inside the Arellano gym in Legarda, Manila.
"It's pretty good," Philipps, sounding confident, said after the two-hour long training session where she took center stage alongside national team veterans, led by former Ateneo superstar Alyssa Valdez and several La Salle standouts.
"It was kinda hard to adjust at the beginning because I'm not used to them playing side by side with each other. But it feels good. We have lots of top talents here. I'm excited."
A daughter of a Filipina mother who traces her roots to Iba, Zambales, Phillips admitted that "it's definitely an honor (to be invited). It's really one of my dreams and it's actually happening. I just tried to stay composed and not freak out that much."
The Nationals are racing against time since they are gearing up for the 18th Jakarta and Palembang Asian Games in Indonesia this September and the Asian Women's Volleyball Cup in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand the following month.
According to De Jesus, they will form a 25-strong training pool for those tournaments and Phillips is confident she can make the cut "as long as I keep doing what I'm doing and stay focused on the task."
"I just hope I make it because I want to compete in the Asian Games, SEA Games and other stuff like that in international competitions so I can up my level of playing. That would be great and my parents would be proud of it," she concluded.

Yes, I'm actually writing a smart light bulb review again. I've done this before. Well, one of my friends has done a review before, about four years ago! (you can read it here). But a few things have changed in four years. Lets get this out the way right from the start – I've always been a bit dubious about spending more than 500 bucks on a light bulb. When you compare to a usual bulb that costs anything from R30 to R100 it seems a bit excessive.
You're not buying a smart light bulb because you're watching the bank balance and need to replace it. You're buying one because you want to have a host of fun options and be able to create a mood with the lighting of a room – because that's ultimately what light is able to do. The LifeSmart Bluetooth Light Bulb is an interesting one. I'm not all that familiar with LifeSmart so I can't talk about life span here but I've been suitably impressed with this little bugger. I replaced the light in my office with the LifeSmart to test it out.
Put the light bulb in, download the accompanying app on iOS or Android (really easy to find on the store by the way, just search LifeSmart), and follow the prompts. It took me all of 5 minutes to download the app, set up an account and get started. The app offers a host of functionality. You're able to choose between a stack of colours and alter them as well. The marketing screams 16 000 000 and with the amount of customisation and selection – I believe it. Click the colour you want and off you go. You can also tweak it slightly as per your requirements. So if you need strong white light for filming – sorted, want to go orange for a Call of Duty feel or bright pink for a giggle – sorted. I was also impressed with the strength of the light. For context, I took the photos you see in the blog post at midday with full sunlight and you can still see the strong colour.
Here's where the good stuff comes in. The LifeSmart offers a host of "themes" which allow RGB change overs, Unicorn features and even a full on disco throbbing light. You can also schedule those themes to run at certain times of the day as well as various colours to be scheduled to feature at certain times of the day. You can set up the light to change when you shake your phone but also to change according to the music you play. As most of my gaming is done with a headset on this isn't going to feature much in my study but I'm seriously thinking my lounge could do with this!
You are able to also control the hue of the light as well. So there really is a huge amount of customisation on offer here and I've had a good few days of fun trying new themes and colours. I never thought I needed a smart bulb but I'm going to be dead honest, I really love this in my office. It is fun. The true test is to see how long it takes before the bulb needs replacing. I'll keep you updated on that. But seriously – I dig it! It's added a fun mood to my studio/office and I can see the appeal now. However, I'm not convinced I'll be replacing the lights in my house with Bluetooth bulbs any time soon. A nice to have but not a must.
The bulb costs around R500 and is distributed by Syntech. The product features on their site and includes links to retailers who stock it. You can find out more here.
Disclosure: Syntech sent me a LifeSmart bulb to review and keep.


A more insidious form of karma can be observed in the need to collude. Collusion is that which mankind does to seek favour from others, to be part of "the" team, "the" group or someone of influence, who's association with, we think will be of benefit to ourselves in some social, business or egotistical way, giving us the "upper hand".
The need to collude is therefore based upon physical desires and as such attracts those lower frequencies associated with the more subtle aspects of physical existence.

Junction Road Halt, also known as Junction Road (for Hawkhurst), was a halt station on the Kent and East Sussex Railway. It was located on the eastern side of the level crossing across the B2244 Junction Road near the hamlet of Udiam in East Sussex, England. Closed for passengers in 1954 and freight in 1961 with the line, The line through Junction Road Halt may yet be revived as the Rother Valley Railway, a preservation society, is proposing to reopen the line from Robertsbridge to Bodiam.

History
The Rother Valley Railway opened a small platform at Junction Road in 1900 as an informal private stopping place for the benefit of the tenant of the adjoining fields who enjoyed shooting rights over the land. The station was situated on the eastern side of a level crossing adjacent to Udiam Farm on the turnpike road from Hawkhurst to Hastings called Junction Road (now part of the B2244 road). The crossing was originally gated but cattle grids were later provided. The existence of the platform was discovered by the Board of Trade in January 1903 during an inspection of the line by Major Pringle who had stopped at the site to examine the new cattle grids. After the inspection, Colonel Stephens, the proprietor of the Rother Valley Railway, wrote to the Board of Trade to obtain permission to open the halt to the public. The station would be unstaffed and trains would only call as required. The Board of Trade indicated its willingness to authorise the halt so long as the railway provided suitable lights for trains calling in the hours of darkness. Despite Stephens' reply that guards would be instructed to aid passengers with a hand lamp, the Board of Trade still insisted on lights.

Although it is unclear whether formal authorisation was actually granted, the station began to appear in the railway company's timetables in June 1903. The name Udiam Halt was first used but this was soon abandoned in favour of Junction Road (for Hawkhurst), even though the village of Hawkhurst was some  away and had been served by its own railway station for the last eleven years. A lack of funds meant that no station buildings were provided at Junction Road, the station consisting merely of a single unsheltered platform constructed of wood and earth. In 1909, a siding was commissioned on the western side of the B2244 on the Up side of the line facing Robertsbridge and this was controlled by a two-levered ground frame situated nearby. The position of the siding meant that trains wishing to shunt here had to be tow-roped.

Junction Road, which was convenient for the Guinness hop farm, saw substantial passenger traffic during the hop-picking season, and this may have contributed towards the decision to renew the platform in 1948. The KESR had acquired the materials prior to nationalisation, and the work was completed by British Railways. The concrete parts had been made at the Exmouth Junction concrete works near Exeter and supplied by the Southern Railway. The platform was sufficiently long to accommodate a two-carriage train. The proximity of hop-farms was most likely the main reason for the station's survival.

Regular passenger services ceased in January 1954 but it continued to be used for special services, particularly hop-pickers' specials as late as September 1957. The last publicly advertised service to pass through the station was a seven-carriage Locomotive Club of Great Britain special, worked by LB&SCR A1 class Nos. 32662 and 32670, which ran on 11 June 1961. After closure a preservation group was formed to reopen the line. After many years of negotiations the Ministry of Transport however refused permission for the section of line west of Bodiam, on the basis of difficulties that the reopened level crossings at Junction Road and on the A21 road would pose to road traffic, as well as the possibility that the roads might need to be converted into dual carriageways, in which case the taxpayer would have to bear the expense of bridging the line. The track was removed between Bodiam and Robertsbridge in the early 1970s however the section between Bodiam and Tenterden has been reopened. The platform was still in situ in 1987 but was removed a few years later. No trace of the station remained by 1996.

Present day
The Rother Valley Railway, a preservation group set up in 1991, had by March 2009 laid track from Bodiam to within  of the site of Junction Road Halt at a cost of £200,000. A new owner of Udiam Farm, whose land incorporates the original railway alignment, agreed for the line to be reinstated through his garden along its historic route. The previous owner of Udiam Farm had not been willing for the line to cross his land. Track was relaid through the site of the halt in June 2010. On 18 March 2011, a VIP dining special was the first passenger train to traverse the rebuilt line. The following weekend of 19/20 March saw KESR services run as far as Junction Road; services were hauled by Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST No. 14, LB&SCR A1 class No.3, GWR 0-6-0PT No. 1638 and Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST No. 23, although passengers were not able to alight or board here. There are no plans to reinstate Junction Road Halt and Rother Valley Railway continues its efforts to reinstate the line westwards towards Robertsbridge.

Motley Crews Heavy Metal Grill came to life one day after reading an article about the food truck craze on Entrepreneur.com & It hit me like a bolt of lightning. With over 15 years in the restaurant industry and 12 years of marketing experience, a food truck would be my destiny!
Growing up in the 80's, was absolutely awesome! I mean Like Totally Awesome! A timeless generation of quirky catch phrases, freaky fashion and music, oh yeah the music! 80's rock is still alive and as strong as ever, many are still rocking today. An 80's rock themed food truck it shall be, now I needed a name. I knew that I did not want to brand myself as a certain type of food truck and that I wanted the freedom to change my menu with the season or for that matter the mood I was in. This would not be possible with "Hot Dog or Philly stamped on the side of my truck. Food that Rocks is what I will make.


Winter Solstice is a time when we experience the longest period of darkness and the shortest daylight hours before the rebirth of the sun as the daylight hours begin getting longer again on their way to Summer Solstice.
At Winter Solstice we are also closing out the past calendar year as we head toward the New Year. That is why this is a powerful time to do this ritual AND really, any time is a good time to do this writing exercise.
What were my biggest successes over the past year?
Where and when did I experience the most love, joy, fun and happiness?
When during the year was I totally blissed out?
What were my biggest sources of inspiration?
What new people and environments did I bring into my life that add value or enrich my life?
Did anything else wonderful happen over the past year that is not listed before?
Always begin with what went right, what you accomplished, what was really good. It's so easy to go right to what went wrong or didn't happen especially if we have had a challenging or lousy year. If we focus on the crap first, then when we get to the good stuff we can't see it because we have put ourselves in a low energy vibration. If we focus on the good stuff first, then when we get to the not-so-good stuff, we are in a higher vibration, can think more clearly and maybe all that not-so-good stuff doesn't look so bad when we compare it to the good that happened to us over the year.
What were the biggest challenges that I faced this past year?
What goals or dreams did I have for this past year that I did not manifest or that did not pan out and why?
Where/when did I experience my lowest emotional points during the year?
Where did I feel like I just could not catch a break?
What situations, environments and/or people are draining me or holding me back?
What limiting beliefs do I have that are holding me back?
What behaviors or habits do I have that are holding me back?
What is the story that I keep telling as to why I don't have what I want?
Am I ready to let this go and create a clean canvas to paint my future on and why am I ready?
Tomorrow on the blog will have the 2nd part of solstice writing.

This is great, Annette! How you focus on starting with what is working well before you go face the challenges that need work.

News & Videos SkyFire trains responders
SkyFire trains respondersSkyFire trains responders
May 1, 2017 By Jim Moore
A former CNN producer teamed up with a certificated flight instructor to create an Atlanta-based company called SkyFire Consulting, among the first to offer formal drone training for police and firefighters.

Matt Sloane left the news network known for pioneering the use of drones in broadcast journalism in January 2014, and was asked soon after to give a training session to police public information officer trainees, offering them a producer's perspective on the news business.
"I had literally just gotten a Phantom 2 the day before," Sloane recalled in a telephone interview, referring to the popular, small quadcopter made by DJI that helped create a consumer unmanned aircraft systems industry. After the program, four fire chiefs approached Sloane asking for help integrating unmanned aircraft into their emergency response arsenal. Sloane got hold of his friend Ben Kroll, a CFI and Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot with thousands of hours logged.
"We started the company the next day," Sloane recalled. "By August we were at our first fire department."
SkyFire Consulting has since worked with several fire departments across the country, including the Menlo Park Fire District in California, which has developed a robust drone program (the subject of a recent article that appeared in AOPA Drone Pilot) and is working to help other agencies and departments do the same.
While SkyFire is a DJI enterprise dealer and offers turnkey packages for police and fire agencies that include equipment and training, Sloane said the focus is on training. He is careful to differentiate his company from the myriad hobby store retailers and others selling public safety "packages" that may not come with effective training or other support. Sloane, who has personal experience working in emergency medical services, brought his first responder knowledge to the mix with Kroll's aviation expertise, and said they started the company in large part to be an alternative to hobby retailers who know little or nothing about emergency services.
He also is working to spread the word to departments that have not yet shown the enthusiasm of the Menlo Park firefighters, and encourage adoption of drone technology.
"We're trying to communicate to people that it's easy enough now that you really should be doing it," Sloane said.
Kroll said understanding the basics of airspace, aeronautical decision-making, and the safety culture that manned aviation has long since embraced, are all important to first responders who wish to make effective use of drones.
"It's almost a disservice, I think, just to give a fire department a drone and say, 'here you go,'" Kroll said. SkyFire provides customized training on location, as well as assistance with all the details of creating an unmanned aircraft flight department within the department. Sloane said the company is among the leading providers of assistance with obtaining Certificates of Authorization or Part 107 compliance (public safety agencies have the option). The pair also are gaining experience and expertise in the particulars of police and fire operations.
As the officers of Menlo Park noted in the recent AOPA Online article, effective air support from a drone requires both aeronautical and firefighting expertise.
"Really giving people all the tools … I think that's what really separates what Matt and I are doing," Kroll said. "If they just look at this as a toy, then eventually things are going to go wrong."
SkyFire's rise to prominence in the fledgling sector of the industry has given Sloane and Kroll a seat at various tables where officials are working to refine best practices for UAS air support. That includes the National Fire Protection Association committee formed to study the topic, which will release a technical standard in the coming year, Sloane said, that will be available for public comment in 2018.
The company also has worked with state-level agencies on much the same topic, and conducted training in all regions of the country, fielding inquiries from every state "and American Samoa" so far, Sloane said.
"We are in this for the long haul, and think we're making a difference," Sloane said.
Kroll said training programs created for fire and police departments typically start with two or three days of training, including classroom work on airspace, aviation procedures, and other knowledge required to pass a Part 107 test. Advanced training is also offered. The first day of basic drone training for emergency services is typically classroom time, and the hands-on portion starts on day two. Kroll teaches the basics of aircraft handling, and employs many of the same techniques he uses in a Cirrus as a CFI, such as the creation of realistic distractions to train the pilot to prioritize and maintain focus and situational awareness.
"I think the most important thing for us is setting the tone," Kroll said, noting that first responders who lack prior aviation experience must understand that drones are "real" aircraft, size notwithstanding.
"It can cause damage and it can hurt people," Kroll said.
The aviator with about 5,000 hours logged in manned aircraft still dabbles in that kind of flying, but has found that the unmanned variety are now taking up most of his time and attention.
"It's become my sole focus," Kroll said, though was quick to add that he still finds time to go flying "on the side."
The particulars of SkyFire training, including live training at a facility where controlled burns add another layer of realism to the mix, will be the topic of an upcoming feature in AOPA Pilot.

What is a Nondenominational Church?
Many people are not familiar with the Nondenominational Church and I am often asked about it, so I thought I would try to clarify it here as briefly as possible.
There are a large variety of churches within this category so an explanation would necessarily need to be quite broad, but all these churches began as a way to expand Christian teachings and provide a more open and accepting Christian environment.
For the most part, nondenominational denotes churches that are independent of the traditional Christian denominations. These churches have their own doctrines and leadership and do not answer to a central council of doctrinal authority. This can often make them more effective in reaching out to their congregants and seekers in an individualized way.
Nondenominational churches are Christian based yet tend to be more open and welcoming of all beliefs. Where many Christian churches have a tendency toward strict rules and narrow biases, nondenominational churches are usually more accepting of broader spiritual concepts. Their teachings embrace a wider blend of spiritual philosophies under the umbrella of a Christian perspective.
Nondenominational church memberships have been growing at a phenomenal rate across America for many years. The rapid spread of these congregations points to a desire in our society for a deeper spiritual life that is logical, accepting, enhancing, integrated into our daily lives and speaks to the goodness of our humanity. Many are finding this within the ecumenical nondenominational churches.

If it has been around for a while, I suspect the reason I didn't notice it until now is that I do most of my text editing in BBEdit and Mailsmith, which aren't based on NSTextView, and even when I am using NSTextView-based text editing apps, ones like Xcode and SubEthaEdit suppress this feature.
What I meant here is that I wasn't sure whether NSTextView had been doing this dating back to NextStep, not that I wasn't sure whether NextStep originated the idea of trying to do something clever with word-bordering spaces when you C/C/P.
If the user selects a word or a range of words, the selection itself is highlighted, but spaces adjacent to the selection are not highlighted.
When the user chooses Cut, if the character preceding the selection is a space, cut that space along with the selection. If the character preceding the selection is not a space, but the character following the selection is a space, cut that space along with the selection.
When the user chooses Paste, if the character to the left or right of the current selection is part of a word (but not inside a word), insert a space before pasting.
Note, though, that the NSTextView implementation clearly contradicts these guidelines. There's nothing in the HIG regarding how you make your selection — a selected word is a selected word, no matter whether you selected it by double-clicking or by clicking and dragging.
And as noted yesterday, my primary complaint isn't with "smart" C/C/P in general, but rather with NSTextView's "sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't, depending on how you made your selection" rules which govern when the feature kicks in.
You ought to be able to know exactly what's going to happen if you hit ⌘X, but in Cocoa apps that use NSTextView's smart C/C/P, you can't, because you have to know how the word "uncomfortable" was selected. I.e instead of "what you see is what you get", it's "what you did is what you get", and the whole point of a GUI is about what you see.
The point of "smart" C/C/P is, ostensibly, to free you from thinking about word-bordering spaces before and after C/C/P. With old-fashioned "non-smart" C/C/P, sure, you have to deal with word-bordering spaces manually, but I think in practice, you get used to doing so without even thinking about it, because you know you have to do it every time. Cut a word, delete the extra space; paste a word, hit the space bar.
With NSTextView's implementation, however, you do have to think about it — or at least most users do — because sometimes you get the "smart" behavior, and other times you don't.

Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness - Review
Unknown 12:15:00 PM 0
Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness is a visual novel video game developed by 5pb in Japan, NIS America in North America / Europe and published by Bandai Namco here in Australia. The video game is based upon the anime series "Psycho Pass" and introduces new characters and a story set within the first eight episodes of the anime series.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with Psycho Pass, it is set in the near future where by advanced technological developments have allowed one's mental state and disposition to be quantified and profiled.
For the public's welfare, all emotions and thoughts are documented and managed by the Sibyl System. This system measures the quality of each person's life by what is known as the Psycho-Pass, a reading of an individual's mind. Broken down into two main components, the Psycho-Pass is the system's omniscient eyes of justice. One of these components is the Hue, which is a visual representation of the Psycho-Pass that conveys a person's stress level. The other is the Crime Coefficient, which is a numerical value that represents a person's criminal capacity. This number determines whether an individual requires enforcement by the detectives of the Public Safety Bureau. Detectives are divided into two groups: Enforcers, who are tasked with the investigation of crimes and the apprehension of criminals, and Inspectors, who are charged with managing the Enforcers.
Psycho Pass allows the player to follow the story as either the Inspector Nadeshiko Kugatachi, who has recently lost her memories, or as an Enforcer, Takuma Tsurugi, a hot headed officer who is in search of a missing childhood friend who has mysteriously disappeared.
Much akin to a 'choose your own adventure story'; this visual novel follows the story of the two main characters as they solve cases, giving you the choice to decide the best course of action for each situation faced, being mindful that every decision has its own repercussions. These decisions are all part of a twisted plot, which can provide a different number of endings, in which it may be that some cases are left unsolved. Without giving anything away, the story is layered into two parts. There are the multiple cases that are to be solved, which all form part of a bigger case that ties them all together.
Psycho Pass, being based upon the Japanese anime, is entirely in Japanese with English subtitles. At first it may be hard to get into the game, but this is a visual novel, so expect to be reading the screen a lot unless you are fluent in Japanese. With that being said, there are the options to adjust the volume of the characters voices, but surprisingly the story can get you hooked and intrigued. With being a visual novel, much of the gameplay, and using term "gameplay" loosely, is mainly just pressing "X" button on the controller to move onto the next text, and occasionally you are given a choice in regards to solving a case. The choice is entirely in your hands as certain votes from other character are tied, leaving you with the final word on the decision.
The story flows from scene to scene with the characters you are interacting with displayed on screen amidst the backdrop of the room, building or area you are in. Cut scenes are mainly a blend of changing from one background to another, with a little animation in between with sound effects and music to add to the mood and drama of the story.
Overall Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness is something different, and a game that normally might not be one's choice to have in the library, but after giving it time, the story draws you in and gets you hooked much like a real graphic novel, where your choices direct the path of the story.

Michael working with a youth cast.
_Theater has been my passion for over 30 years, 20+ of which have been spent as a director and producer. I worked with both adult and youth actors. My style of direction is to be highly affirming and detail oriented and have an intense desire to inspire all those who are involved with the project. My breadth of directorial work (over 100 productions) encompasses many styles and genres of theater and many productions have been critically acclaimed.
One of my adult casts.
Collaboration fills my soul and you will find me quite assertive in soliciting creative input from my cast and crew. Whether working with an adult cast, an all youth cast, or a mix of both, I will inject my passion for this creative medium with all of my abundant energies and experience.
At this stage of my career, I wish to merge my passions for theater and travel. So let's talk about how I can bring my skills and energies to your local cast, students, or organization!

'Still life' 1947 is the third painting by Giorgio Morandi to enter the Gallery's collection. Painted earlier than our other two paintings (1949 and 1957), and one year before Morandi won the first prize for painting at the 1948 Venice Biennale, one of the major turning points in his career. Over the ten year span of these three still-lifes, Morandi remained perfectly consistent in his approach to painting. He was able to make an extraordinary virtue of his self-limitation. What some have construed as a poetics of silence and others as a pathology of withdrawal, Morandi's contemporaries recognised as qualities of his uprightness and decency: he was one of the few Italian artists of his generation who resisted the taint of fascism. In addition, the narrow compass of Morandi's art proved wonderfully conductive to concentrating the mind and heightening the senses.
'Still life' 1947 has all the hallmarks of classic Morandi paintings because of its quite radical and unrelenting opacity, frontality and symmetry. As a consequence of these qualities, viewers are made acutely conscious of the unity of the image, surface, shape and size of the canvas; they are confronted by the fleshiness of Morandi's paint. Thus attuned, the altered pressure of Morandi's touch, slight squirms and tremors in the drag of his brush, infinitesimal shifts in tone and colour are registered as events of exquisite artistry.
