I have been made to BELIEVE that the Bible is the WORD of God and "All Scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
Thus, I BELIEVE that ALL verses are TRUE. However, if there are verses that APPEAR (because of interpretation) to contradict OTHER verses, I follow what apostle Paul teaches in 1 Cor. 2:13 and COMPARE Scriptures to arrive at the TRUE interpretation.
Now, gioing to the subject at hand. IF Jesus is God, can these statements be true?
Apostle John wrote that "NO ONE has EVER seen God at ANY time" (John 1:18 and 1 John 4:12). Yet we know that apostle John and about 500 others (1 Cor. 15:6) SAW Jesus during his lifetime and when he ASCENDED to heaven (Acts 1:11). Was John LYING when John said "NO ONE has ever SEEN God at ANY time?
Apostle John wrote that EVERYTHING he SAW and HEARD are TRUE (John 21:24). He HEARD Jesus SAY he is a MAN (John 8:40) and the FATHER is the ONLY true God (John 17:3). Did John TRULY hear Jesus SAY John 8:40 and John 17:3 or was Jesus LYING when he said he is a MAN and the FATHER is the ONLY true God?
Apostle John HEARD Jesus say that God is SPIRIT (John 4:24). Did John TRULY hear Jesus say this or was Jesus LYING?
Apostle John HEARD from Mary Magdalene that Jesus calls them BROTHERS and to tel them that he (Jesus) is ASCENDING to HIS Father who is ALSO our Father and to HIS God who is ALSO our God (John 20:17). Did John HEAR Mary corectly or was Mary or Jesus LYING?
Apostle Luke wrote that he HEARD Jesus say that a SPIRIT does NOT have FLESH and bones as he has (Luke 24:39). Did apostle Luke TRULY hear Jesus say this or was Jesus LYING?
Apostle Luke wrote that he SAW Jesus ATE broiled fish AFTER God raised him from the dead. Did apostle Luke TRULY see Jesus EATING broiled fish or was he LYING?
As you can see my friends, the doctrine that Jesus is GOD makes the authors of the Bible OR Jesus LIARS! And if we say EITHER of them is a LIAR, then we are telling God that He is a LIAR because the Bible is God's word.
Does anyone here think this is good for the soul?
I knew you would be posting sooner or later. heheh welcome aboard Ed. Now back to the topic at hand.
Yes Ed Jesus calls himself a man. BUT by man it is my interpritation that he is MAN in the body, he can bleed, hunger, and die. BUT in SPIRIT he was GOD not a man born of sin after all he was born from Devine Nature.
He was the ultimate sacrifice to give to his children. What Father would not die for his son? Do we not hold such a great place with him that he would give of him self for us?
And to answer your post over at KT God can not be confined in a box thus just a part of God was in the body of Christ.
consider it in the terms of a modernday heart transplant. The heart is not yours but your body uses it as if it was yours.
"the only begotten God. An explicit declaration of Christ's deity (see vv. 1,14 and notes; 3:16). has made Him known. Sometimes in the OT people are said to have seen God (eg Ex 24:9-11) But we are also told that o one can see God and live (EX33:20) Therefore, since no human being can see God as He really is, those who saw God saw Him in a form He took on Himself temporarily for the occasion. Now , however, Christ has made Him known."
Jesus is not a seperate entietly but God and Jesus (after death) are one in the same. When Jesus said you are to worship the one and only Father. You should worship the Lord our God, not this temple of Flesh the God choose to wear, for if you worship the body of christ are you not worshiping an idol in place of the Father God? Now dont go saying i said dont worship Jesus BUT God said listen to my son and Jesus said what you ask for in my name will be done. We dont pray to Jesus we pray to the Father (in the name of Jesus Christ) and all we ask for we ask it in the name of Jesus Christ.
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
"He HEARD Jesus SAY he is a MAN (John 8:40) and the FATHER is the ONLY true God (John 17:3)."
Just Fyi to speed things yp here Ed sees this verse as proof thast Jesus is not God.
The thing is, this verse doe snot deny Jesus' Divinity at all.
The Trinity Doctrine agrees that Jesus is a man and agrees that the Father is the Only true God.
What this verse is not saying, that Ed would have you think it is saying is that Only the Father is the only true God.
Q: WHO is the ONLY true God?
A: He is the ONLY true God?
A: Jesus is the SON.
Q: Is the SON the ONLY true God?
A: No! The FATHER is the ONLY true God!
CONCLUSION: ONLY the FATHER is the ONLY true God!
I challenge anyone to come up with questions similar to these based on John 17:3 that would make BOTH the Father and the Son the ONLY true God.
Are you telling us that Jesus is the FATHER and the SON rolled into ONE God? Your belief is FALSE! Jesus commanded his disciples NOT to call anyone on earth FATHER for ONE is the FATHER, He who is in heaven (Matt. 23:9). At that time, Jesus was on earth and the FATHER was in heaven.
If Jesus is the FATHER, who was the FATHER that he was praying to in the garden and on the cross? Was Jesus PRETENDING to pray to someone ither than himself?
That is NOT how the word of God is taught. You should learn from apoistle Paul and follow what he teaches in 1 Cor. 2:13.
How easily you can be deceived my friend! Don't you know that that insert is NOT part of the word of God? Anybody can do that to make the Bible fit their FALSE doctrine. So Christ is NOT the true form of God since no one has ever seen the true form of God.
Jesus is not a seperate entietly but God and Jesus (after death) are one in the same.
Your belief is NOT based on the Word of God my friend. You have NO basis for what you believe in. Col. 3:1 says Christ is sitting beside God. Rev. 5:13 shows the Lord God Almighty AND the Lamb being worshipped together.
When Jesus said you are to worship the one and only Father. You should worship the Lord our God, not this temple of Flesh the God choose to wear, for if you worship the body of christ are you not worshiping an idol in place of the Father God? Now dont go saying i said dont worship Jesus BUT God said listen to my son and Jesus said what you ask for in my name will be done. We dont pray to Jesus we pray to the Father (in the name of Jesus Christ) and all we ask for we ask it in the name of Jesus Christ.
So you are saying that the FATHER is the SPIRIT that resides in the physical body of Jesus, the Son. So when you pray to the FATHER, you are in effect praying to the SPIRIT of Jesus and you ask in the name of the physical body of Jesus.
So your belief is that Jesus was actually praying to himself. But why did he lift his eyes to heaven when he prayed to the FATHER (John 17:1)? Don't tell me his SPIRIT was in heaven but his body was on earth.
Doesn't that tell you that the Jesus who walked on this earth is NOT God?
Q: WHO is the Holy Spirit?
Q: WHO is the SON?
Q: Is the FATHER the ONLY true God?
Q: Is the HOLY SPIRIT the ONLY true God?
Q: Is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit the same God?
was he referring ONLY to his body? Wasn't he referring to his WHOLE being which is composed of body, soul and spirit?
Niether. He was referring to His human nature.
Are you telling us that Jesus is the FATHER and the SON rolled into ONE God?
NO.. Jesus is the Son not both of them. But both the Son and the Father are God. They are seperate unto themselves and at the same time are the same God.
Jesus spirtual Nature was not the Father but the Son. Jesus was a human nature and the Son was the Divine nature. Jesus was not praying ot the Son (praying to himself), He was praying to the Father. The Father was in Heaven, when Jesus was praying to him.
"Apostle John wrote that "NO ONE has EVER seen God at ANY time" (John 1:18 and 1 John 4:12). Yet we know that apostle John and about 500 others (1 Cor. 15:6) SAW Jesus during his lifetime and when he ASCENDED to heaven (Acts 1:11). Was John LYING when John said "NO ONE has ever SEEN God at ANY time?"
Does this apply to Abraham, to whom the Lord appeared by the oaks of Mamre as three men? Does it apply to Hagar, to whom the Lord appeared as the "angel of the Lord."? Or does it apply to Jacob, to whom the Lord appeared as a man, and of whom had said "I have seen God face to face"?
You see, your problem is that while what John said is entirely true, for no man has ever looked upon God, you neglect the fact that God has appeared to men in a form that veils his true substance. Therefore, the verses you quoted above do not in any way prove that Jesus was not God at all. If anything, they prove how God made himself manifest in human flesh so that men could look upon him, and they prove how you have failed to compare and rightly divide all the Scriptures in order to come out with the correct doctrine.
Don't you ever tire of trying to prove that which is not true?
: WHO is the ONLY true God?
Is your conscience so seared that you don't SEE that what you are saying is BLATANTLY opposed to what the John 17:3 actually says?
Let me remind you my friend that ADDING to the word of God will SURELY lead you and anyone who believes you INTO the lake of fire.
In John 17:1, Jesus is SEEN lifting up his eyes to heaven and was HEARD saying, "FATHER, the hour has come..." And in John 17:3, Jesus was HEARD saying, "....that they may know YOU (obvoiously referring to the Father ALONE), the ONLY true God..."
Q: WHO was Jesus, the SON talking to?
Q: Was Jesus talking to anyone else besides the Father?
A: NO! Jesus was talking to the Father ALONE.
Q: Was Jesus part of the Father whom he was praying to?
A: NO! The Father was in heaven, Jesus was on earth.
Q: Was the FATHER and the SON separate and distinct?
Q: Is Jesus, the SON, the ONLY true God?
Q: Is Jesus, the SON, a true God?
A: NO! The SON is a MAN (John 8:40).
Q: Is Jesus, the SON, a God?
A: NO! If he is god to anyone, he is a FALSE god or an idol.
Hasn't anyone taught you that "in the past, God SPOKE to our fathers by the PROPHETS has in these last days SPOKE to US by His SON..." (Hebrews 1:1-2)?
Don't you believe that God COMMANDS people to LISTEN to His Son, Jesus (Matt. 17:5)?
Don't you believe that whatever Jesus SAID was COMMANDED of him by God - what to say and what to speak (John 12:49)?
Don't you believe that everything that John wrote were true (John 21:24)?
Don't you believe that John 1:1 and John 1:14 are inspired WORD of God (2 Tim. 3:16)?
Do you still THINK that what I am trying to prove is not true?
First, what did I say that adds to the word of God? I do not think you can quote me.
Second, you add to the word of God here: "obvoiously referring to the Father ALONE". The verse does not say that, and yet to add that to its meaning. So, by your thoughts, we are bothing going to burn, eh?
Give you half credit here.
Let's look at the ones you missed.
Is Jesus, the Son, the Only true God? Yes He is. Jesus' Divinity is very apparent in scripture, and is not denied anywhere in scripture.
Is Jesus the Son, a god? No, Jesus the Son is the God. But He is God, thus half credit.
It is a fact that the Biblical record states all scripture is inspired of God. No doubt about it.
Does anything in that passage show that everything recorded in the Bible is scripture - inspired by God?
Now - Jesus said, according to John 6:46 that no man has seen the FATHER at any time - not that no man has seen God. Exodus 24:9 - 11 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel : and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God , and did eat and drink.
John said that no man has seen God at any time. We know this is incorrect - Or is the record of Exodus 24:9-11 incorrect? Or is the God of Israel somehow not the same god who said you shall have no other gods before me? Perhaps John simply used the word God, expecting that he would be understood to mean the Father, though not meaning the God of Israel? Things become VERY confusing if there is no truth to the doctrine of the trinity.
Luk 8:52 - 53 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. There is a problem with this account. The author says that the people KNEW that the child was dead - not that they believed she was dead. So, according to the author, the child was dead. Jesus said she was not dead. Who to believe????
Let me make this statement befor i continue. I dont have all the answers i wish i did, but just about everyday i read the Bible, and i listen to what everyone else has to say; then i try to make a decision. Many people have posted and said good things that make alot of sense. and i hope i am not so far out of line on all of this. after all Ed your the only one that really replys to my posts .
I dont think he was refering to his whole being.
Why do you put a limit on to what God can do or a limit on His power? Why could he not be in 2 places at once?
at no point did i ever say it was the word of God. the quote from the book was of facts from the Bible itself and supports its facts by passages.
Could you not see it? Or do you choose not to also accept the OT as part of the Bible?
In how many diffearnt ways must God apear before you that you can say this one time he apeared in his true form but all other times was just a random apearance in a randome being.
This is honestly one thing i dont have an answer for yet. I dont understand how you can sit beside yourself.
Why woudl you not lift your head to the heavens when talking to God. Does he not Sit on the Highest thron? If he came down to show man how to live and what to do and how to be saved and to most importantly believe in the Lord our God why would he not do what he is telling us we must do? The Father (God) sets the example for the son (mankind). Havent you heard of the proverb "monkey see monkey do"
In the beginning was the word and the word was (close beside/toward/with) God and GOD WAS THE WORD.
How can Jesus be beside God and at the same time be God? I don't know, but John 1 states that is exactly the position that exists.
The question therefore is not whether the "ambiguous" texts can be addressed, but whether the direct and absolute statements of those passages which state Jesus is God can be undermined. And that can only be done if passages exist in contradiction in plain black and white.
Jesus is at the right hand of the Father - said to prove that Jesus is not God. God was the Word and the Word was close beside God answers the objection - not in showing how it is, but in showing that it is. The interpretation that Jesus cannot be God because he is beside God is shown to be an invalid concept.
exactly, i used this passage in one of the other ed topics its it hard to understand but i will take it as it is written.
In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God.
Obviously, you either missed my point altogether or you just ignored it and decided to ramble about nothing that didn't even address what I wrote. But I suppose that kind of response is to be expected when you do not know what to do with the truth.
John said that no man has seen God. This is true, at least in regard to seeing God in his true substance. Not even Moses was permitted to see that.
Men have seen God, however, through a veiled form; that is to say, God assumed the appearance of a man or men (called a "theophany") so that men could look upon him. Hagar, Abraham, and Jacob all saw God this way.
Consequently, the mere fact that men could see Jesus is absolutely no proof that he was not God come in the flesh. If anything, it means God veiled his true substance by becoming fully human, which is a step further than a theophany. In other words, the Word, who was God, became flesh, and men did see God in Jesus Christ.
But had you rightly divided the Scriptures, you would have known this.
This is one of the best points I've seen in quite a while.


Small businesses lead in creativity and innovations and employ a huge number of the working population in the US. The federal government recognizes the impact of small business on the country's economy.
It is the reason why spirited efforts have been made to encourage small business to apply for government contracts. The US government spends over five hundred billion dollars each year, the biggest in the world. For the government, contracting with small businesses makes economic sense and five percent of the spending is allocated for small businesses.
It is a win-win situation where the small businesses get revenues to create employment that drives the economy forward while government through different agencies and departments get creativity and innovations to accomplish various missions.
More than three decades ago, the Congress decided to set a portion of Government contracting for small businesses. Some of the targeted businesses included those owned by women, armed forces veterans and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
Although the program has benefited millions of individuals, since 2006, the government has failed to achieve considerable collaboration with small businesses. Eliminating barriers is the only way of increasing the chances of small businesses accessing federal contract.
In the recent past, the federal government has made effort to increase opportunities for small businesses. The government has introduced online training for individuals interested in contracting with the government. For instance, last summer, the Department of Commerce collaborated with Small Business Administration (SBA) on a wide effort of sensitizing and training to ensure small businesses are awarded federal contract. Furthermore, the government has put more focus on women-owned small businesses especially in industries where women are misrepresented.
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires contracting officers in government to set aside certain funds for contracting small businesses at fair market prices.
Initially, government contracting involved the cost of contract performance. However, in 2016, Small Business Administration made several changes in government contracting requirements mainly focusing on total payments made to the contracting business as opposed cost of performance originally used.
Additionally, the revised regulations allowed small businesses to use work performed by similar entities as opposed to work performed by SBC. This regulation helps to determine compliance with the limitation on contracting.
Apart from setting the necessary regulations, SBA also provides various mentorship programs. For instance, the mentor-protégé program is aimed at developing strong firms through development assistance to successfully compete for government contracts.
In 2016, SBA made several changes into the mentorship program where large business are required to provide assistance to small business for instance management and technical assistance, trade education etc.
On the part of the small business, complying with the necessary requirements and the terms and conditions of the contract can provide long-term stability. This is due to several reasons. Firstly, the government is reliable in their payments compared to other partners.
Additionally, the government's spending history on small business is readily available and can be used to find past similar engagements. Finally, the government is involved with numerous agencies and departments, therefore providing limitless opportunities.
Christopher is an author who is passionate about helping local communities and supporting small businesses while working with the Cherokee Nation for small business administration government contracts in Oklahoma.


Skilful use of IT tools is crucial for many entities involved in supply chain management. TMS (Transportation Management System) solutions help to plan, monitor and settle transport in production and distribution companies. This is the case, for example, in Axell Logistics (formerly Ponetex Logistics).
Axell Logistics is a logistics operator belonging to the Dutch Axell group, with an extensive network of partners (several locations in the Netherlands and Poland). In addition to transport, it offers logistic services, temporary work services and financial services.
It has been active in Europe for almost a quarter of a century. Full logistics services for clients include on packaging, repacking, preparing promotional sets, forwarding and domestic and international transport.
Creating a partner relationship with the customer requires the logistics operator's accuracy, reliability, as well as the need to constantly adapt to individual requirements.
The operator must actively plan its activities and ensure efficient flow of goods and information so that the recipient of the goods receives it in the requested time and in accordance with the order. TMS is here to help.
Axell Logistics has four terminals in Poland (Chorzów, Nowy Tomyśl, Rakoniewice, Skierniewice), warehouses with a total area of 36 thousand sq.m. To efficiently and effectively implement everything related to the storage of goods and the performance of a number of other logistic services, the company decided to use IT tools: in the field of TMS transport management systems, as well as warehouse management – WMS. It also invested in a tool allowing remote access to the central system resources for its clients.
Transport for the operator is one of the most important components in the logistics chain because its efficiency affects the quality and costs of all activities. First of all, the TMS was implemented. It allows to carry out full truckload orders (FTL) along with partial transport.
TMS controls whether transport operations will not overflow the hub, allows inventory of their contents and monitors what is happening with the cargoes that are currently in transit to a given point. Thanks to integration with the digital map, the user of the system has graphical access to information about where the vehicle is located and whether a given driver and car is available at a given time.
TMS supports making decisions related to the optimal allocation of orders to vehicles and drivers. This contributes to reducing costs and eliminating the so-called empty runs. The system verifies whether a given route has been implemented as planned, taking into account possible changes.
TMS also offers access to a range of reports and analyzes that give the user a powerful tool to support the execution of orders. You can calculate the profitability of routes, orders and vehicles, which is the basis for making strategic decisions for the company's management.
In the next stage, the WMS system was implemented (in the branches located in Rakoniewice, Nowy Tomyśl and Skierniewice), responsible for managing the operations of goods receipt and release, picking and moving goods within storage teams. Particularly important is the fact that between WMS and TMS (where the superior system is WMS) a full two-way data exchange takes place. WMS enabled the company to conduct full monitoring of the flow of goods as well as quantitative and qualitative control of the stored assortment.
Depending on the specificity of the product and the expiration date, the system allows the use of FIFO, FEFO and LIFO strategies. Additional automatic identification solutions were implemented. Thanks to them, key warehouse operations, i.e. goods release, inventory or picking of goods for shipment, are carried out faster, without mistakes.

The future of this planet has never looked bleaker . . . or brighter.
The darkest time in all of history, as well as the most brilliant for the people of God, lies before us. Jesus' own words about the wheat and the weeds warn us of this: "Let both grow together until the harvest."
Evil may be on the rise. But even greater is God's army--and our best days lie ahead.

Carpetgarden Pens Personal Essay About Their Latest Music Video
Carpetgarden — the 20-year-old non-binary Daniel Johnston-esque wunderkind — writes a personal essay for their latest video and single "Can Ghosts Be Gay?".
Tori West· 29th September 2020
"Can Ghosts be Gay?" is a song I wrote in my bedroom. It is about remembrance of past love, friends, and experiences whether good or bad. It is basically just a brain-dump of emotions about how hard life can be in this new age; love, loss, a ton of shit. The meaning behind the song is definitely up to interpretation.
The opening lyrics "I don't know why but I hate myself, I don't know why but I need some help please. I don't know why but I wanna die." is referring to the struggles I had growing up as an impressionable young person during the age of the internet and I feel like a lot of people can relate. With the almost obsessive use of social media within Gen-Z, it kinda caused me to compare myself to these standards that are pushed into me in the form of an infinite scroll, updated almost every second. This kind of influence on youth, I feel, has created a very nihilistic, and broken generation. Although there are so many people normalising a way more unfiltered and raw approach to social media, the feelings are still there. This song definitely isn't a love song. It's about the remembrance of someone special and blaming yourself for not being the perfect person you portray yourself as through a screen.
The video doesn't have any story arch or narrative behind it, but I chose to shoot in important locations to me, and the music scene that I grew as an artist within. The bedroom that can be seen in the video is actually my best friend, Cass' bedroom. I chose to include this because 1. It's really cute and 2. It's also a location that is attached to so many memories that inspire the music I make today.
We've had countless art sessions day and night inside that room, and is a super important place for me creatively. Another significant location is the venue that we shot outside of; it's pretty much the place that inspired me to take music seriously. I've been to hundreds of shows there over the years and is where I met most of the creatives that I surround myself with today. I think that a lot of young artists can relate to the feeling of waiting in line for hours to see a band that really inspires you, and creates basically the soundtrack to your life. Seeing artists like The Garden, The Drums, and Surf Curse/Current Joys really made me want to express myself in the way that they do.
This song definitely isn't a love song. It's about the remembrance of someone special and blaming yourself for not being the perfect person you portray yourself as through a screen.
The cast of the video are all of my best friends. I chose to include them in the video because not only are they my friends, but every single one of them is a creative, who expresses themselves in such different ways that are true to their personalities. I love cool vibes and unique expression, and it's essential that I'm surrounded by it. All of my friends have a major creative interest like fashion, music, and art. The cool thing is that we all do everything ourselves. The nature of DIY is very consistent in the way that we create and express ourselves. If we think of a design for a cool shirt we want to wear, we just make it. If we want cute a new poster for our rooms, we paint it. Being in that type of environment, and being surrounded by like minded people is very important to how I create and live my life.
In the video, I'm giving a very true performance of the song, meanwhile, there is always something messing with me. Whether it's getting hit in the head with stuffed animals or getting pushed and pulled around there's something trying to keep me from singing the song. With this, I tried to express the hardships I've faced in the past. It's supposed to represent getting through the abuse life can put you through, and getting through it. I've definitely had a tough time going through life for literally just being me, but it has given me some sort of second skin. Things really do get easier and surround yourself with people with good intentions and good energy definitely helped me realise that.

Why I am getting so many information?? How to control this madness?

A: Laravel has a way to "hide" different attributes from JSON
https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent-serialization#hiding-attributes-from-json
on each model in your application, you can specify $hidden attribute with array of the properties that you want to hide from the JSON object.
So for your example, you could do something like this in your model
<?php
...
class Messages extends Model
{
    protected $hidden = [
        "object_id",
        "booking_id",
        "sender_id",
        "receiver_id",
        // add more columns you wish to hide
    ];
}

alternatively, there is also $visible attribute that works the opposite way, i.e. you define only the fields that should be visible in JSON object
<?php
...
class Messages extends Model
{
    protected $visible = [
        "id",
        "name",
        // add more columns you wish to show
    ];
}

Luis Carlos Díaz Vázquez (Caracas, Venezuela, 15 de febrero de 1985) es un periodista y ciberactivista hispanovenezolano. Ha trabajado en el Instituto Radiofónico Fe y Alegría, el Centro Gumilla y periódicos como El Nacional y Tal Cual, además de como conductor radiofónico en Circuito Unión Radio, y sirvió como miembro del consejo editorial de la revista SIC. Luis Carlos fue detenido arbitrariamente en 2019 agentes del Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia Nacional (SEBIN) durante los apagones de nivel nacional de ese año, siendo declarado por Amnistía Internacional como un preso de conciencia. Fue excarcelado al día siguiente con medidas cautelares y su caso fue archivado en 2021, suspendiendo dichas medidas.

Biografía

Creció en la ciudad de Charallave, en los Valles del Tuy, iniciándose en el uso de internet en el año 1994. Con la popularización de la red en la década de los 2000 entró en contacto con el mundo de los blogs donde creó su bitácora Periodismo de paz, comenzó a estudiar la licenciatura en Comunicación Social en la Universidad Central de Venezuela e inició su trayectoria como periodista. Alineado con la actividad de los jesuitas y crítico con el chavismo, trabajó, entre otros medios, en la revista Comunicación y en el diario El Nacional, como coproductor y locutor del Instituto Radiofónico Fe y Alegría, como columnista sobre el uso político de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en el diario Tal Cual, como coordinador de comunicación y redes de la Fundación Centro Gumilla y como miembro del consejo editorial de la revista SIC. También participó en la redacción de Versión beta: tendencias de la prensa y el periodismo del siglo XXI en Venezuela, publicado en 2008, donde habla del futuro de internet. Desde 2010 fue coordinador y presentador del Encuentro Internacional de Constructores de Paz, celebrado anualmente. En 2015 comenzó a trabajar en Circuito Unión Radio con el programa Circuito Éxitos, el cual fue cancelado a principios del 2019, mientras Díaz se encontraba de viaje en México.

En 2018 el periodista y profesor universitario Marcelino Bisbal publicó la monografía La comunicación bajo asedio: Balance de 17 años, una crítica al espacio digital venezolano en cuyas páginas justifica «que Luis Carlos Díaz sostenga la idea de que Internet en Venezuela se ha convertido en un refugio, pero no como evolución» y reproduce su planteamiento de que la migración de los medios venezolanos al mundo digital ocurre «para paliar una emergencia, pero no de manera natural ni por una elección libre».

Detención

Entre la noche del 11 de marzo y la madrugada del 12 de marzo de 2019 agentes del Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia Nacional (SEBIN), al servicio del gobierno de Nicolás Maduro, lo detuvieron, allanaron y robaron su vivienda en Caracas y lo trasladaron al Helicoide; su esposa, Naky Soto, el Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de Prensa de Venezuela (SNTP) y la organización PROVEA denunciaron los hechos. Se le acusó de instigar el apagón eléctrico de Venezuela que había comenzado el 7 de marzo y que continuaba en curso. Los agentes amenazaron igualmente a Naky con detenerla en caso de hacer «mucho ruido» sobre lo sucedido. Más adelante Amnistía Internacional declaró a Luis Carlos como un prisionerio de conciencia. Naky también denunciaría posteriormente que la primera comisión del SEBIN que lo entrevistó lo golpeó con el casco de su bicicleta, robaron todo el dinero en efectivo y joyas que tenían, le dijeron que la habían detenido a ella en el Hospital Militar y que llevarían un cadáver hasta su casa para acusarlos de asesinato, amenazándolo varias veces con ella con su salud, al padecer de cáncer. Naky presionó por la liberación de su esposo e hizo un llamado a la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas en Caracas para conocer sobre su bienestar.

Luz Mely Reyes indicó al diario británico The Guardian que la detención de Luis Carlos Díaz era parte de la «guerra contra la prensa» librada por Nicolás Maduro. Erika Guevara Rosas, directora de Amnistía Internacional para América, declaró que Luis Carlos Díaz había sido detenido «por su trabajo ampliamente respetado cubriendo las demandas de la gente de Venezuela para vivir dignamente» y por «denunciar la respuesta de las autoridades a la seria crisis de derechos humanos» en curso, lo calificó como preso de conciencia y exigió su liberación inmediata e incondicional. Pasadas casi veinticuatro horas de la detención, la alta comisionada de Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos, Michelle Bachelet, expresó su preocupación por el periodista y pidió tener «acceso urgente» a él.

La noche del 12 de marzo de 2019 fue excarcelado tras una audiencia en los tribunales de Caracas, en la que, según la organización Espacio Público, se le imputó el delito de «instigación pública» y se le impusieron la obligación de presentarse ante los tribunales cada ocho días y las prohibiciones de salir del país y de declarar ante los medios de comunicación sobre su caso. Desde entonces no ha podido volver a la radio y se le ha impedido participar en eventos internacionales como consultor, expositor y periodistas.

El 1 de febrero de 2021 su caso fue archivado, suspendiendo las medidas cautelares dictadas en su contra. El caso de Luis Carlos Díaz es incluido en el informe de la Misión Internacional de determinación de hechos sobre Venezuela publicado el 20 de septiembre de 2022, donde relató que fue entregado a funcionarios de la Dirección General de Contrainteligencia Militar (DGCIM) y trasladado a un centro de detención clandestino, donde fue sometido a tratos crueles y inhumanos, antes de ser trasladado a El Helicoide al día siguiente.

Premios

En 2013 Luis Carlos Díaz recibió, de manos de la Deutsche Welle, el premio internacional The BOBs como mejor persona a la que seguir en Twitter en lengua española. En 2020 fue galardonado con el Premio Sophie Scholl por la embajada de Alemania en Venezuela, un premio que "busca reconocer y acompañar a instituciones o personas que, a través de su compromiso y labores, contribuyan al fortalecimiento de la democracia y de los valores que la sostienen", junto con Naky Soto.

The Environmental Association for Great Lakes Education:Working to Protect the Environment in Minnesota and the Great Lakes
By: Jenny Tahtinen
In each issue of the newsletter, GLAHNF profiles one of its Advisory Panel Members or Hub coordinators. In this issue we are pleased to tell you about Jenny Tahtinen and the Environmental Association for Great Lakes Education. Jenny became our Minnesota Hub coordinator in January 2003.
As Projects Coordinator for the Environmental Association for Great Lakes Education (EAGLE) and the Minnesota Hub for GLAHNF, Jenny Tahtinen has been able to fulfill her goal of working to protect the environment in her own backyard. Growing up in Duluth, Minnesota on the shores of Lake Superior, a love of the outdoors and of the lake was instilled in her early on in life. "Living in northern Minnesota and being able to see Lake Superior every day taught me an immeasurable appreciation for the natural world and has given me a great quality of life. I only hope that people fifty years from now are lucky enough to receive the same gift." Graduating from Macalester College with a degree in environmental studies and a focus in biology, Jenny headed back north, her training as a scientist and her activist ideals in tow.
Working with EAGLE since November of 2002, Jenny has realized just how important it is to have a strong environmental voice in the Great Lakes Basin-on a local, regional, statewide, and international scale. "Protecting the Great Lakes is now more important than ever. It's a do or die situation, and the work we are doing is necessary to ensure the future health of the lakes and the citizens of the region. I am thrilled to be a part of the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund during this crucial time."
Two grassroots women activists founded EAGLE in 1994 in order to provide education and promote activism aimed at protecting and restoring the Great Lakes ecosystem. Since its inception, EAGLE has worked to increase awareness of critical environmental issues in the Great Lakes region. EAGLE promotes leadership training and skills development and provides technical assistance and consulting services to people throughout the Basin.
EAGLE has sponsored workshops aimed at increasing citizen advocacy on issues such as sustainable development, women's health issues, and land use issues. EAGLE formed the Great Lakes Women's Leadership Network (GLWLN), a coalition of thousands of women around the region committed to the environment, and developing women's roles in protecting it. As the education outlet for the Green Thumb Project, EAGLE held more than 40 community workshops educating businesses, institutions, and local homeowners on environmentally safe lawn care in order to decrease chemical runoff into the Lake Superior watershed.
EAGLE has sought to be a central resource for organizations and citizens in northeastern Minnesota, and to that end, developed the EcoSource project. Ecosource is Minnesota's most comprehensive listing of environmental organizations, and includes information on local groups, events and issues. Each year, EAGLE also coordinates the Living Green Conference, a networking and informational conference that brings in hundreds of citizens as well as environmental professionals.
After the success of the EcoSource project, EAGLE worked with GLAHNF to develop the Great Lakes Directory as a means of strengthening the network of environmental organizations throughout the Great Lakes Basin. The Directory currently includes a collection of over one thousand environmental organizations from each state and province in the Basin. The Great Lakes Directory provides exposure to groups' focus issues as well as funding resources, free environmental software, environmental job listings, events calendars, and a huge collection of articles pertaining to Great Lakes' environmental issues. The Directory has become a vital resource for both the public and environmental professionals throughout the Great Lakes Basin.
Jenny Tahtinen believes that GLAHNF has played a major part in unifying and facilitating the fight to save aquatic habitats by providing funding and networking support. "EAGLE has had the honor of working with GLAHNF as the Minnesota Hub for the past three years. We have benefited tremendously through working with GLAHNF and its Advisory Panel and Hub members, a group of passionate and knowledgeable people striving toward a common goal."

This doesn't sound too good! I hadn't seen any of that!
Apparently as well as being on TV/in papers/online articles, she had set up a YouTube shaming her husband, too - which understandably he wouldn't be too happy about (even though he was the one in the wrong), and whilst I know some men are capable of some awful things, I would not want to jump to any conclusions that he's involved - yes he's a rat, but that is all I will say for now. Some people have also commented that she was actually getting to know another man/men (really?!!!!). There has been a few comments on that post saying it might be attention seeking, etc., which is a possibility too, but her family/friends seem convinced it's out of character. She supposedly flew out to Tunisia around 3 weeks ago and there has been no contact since. Whilst I do hope she's safe and well, I cannot believe anybody would put their family and friends through all the worry...
If anyone hears anything can you update with thread! xx

Beautiful! It really brought tears to my eyes..............
You know, the main problem, that some women beleive (or want to beleive) in "fary tales" like this, and WOMEN THINK THAT THEIR CASE ARE ALSO SPECIAL LIKE THIS, AND THEIRS ARE REAL LOVE and fall into rat's trap.
I know stories like this are rare, but exist. But the very big difference in the presented case - sorry to say - that the man in this story was not Tunisian, and didn't need the visa, or/and money!! I know genuine long distance relatioship can exist also between Tunisian men and European women, and it can be a honest love, but in many cases it isn't. Videos like this make women think that "they are exceptions", like the presented couple. But unfortunately usually not.....

I have a question. When I Google this lady's name I cannot seem to find anything... I just want to follow the story. Has she been heard from or found yet?
There was a link somewhere here on TLR for the fb page and people had commented and so far she had not been in contact with anyone.
Think it was called Tunisians United and friends... Something like that
Yes Kalas, thats the group name I have just taken a look, and she has now been in contact with her daughter, and is coming home around the 28th, so is safe and sound...it doesnt say where she's been, but the comments under her pic are an interesting read x

Completely agree, so happy she is safe and well but it is out of order not to let her family know she was okay! My son would be furious if I did that!! It's natural to let your loved ones know you are safe!
When I first started going away and didn't have a smart phone I made sure I had a phone card and kept in contact regularly.
Not only has she worried her family but she worried us!
Happy ending but I am very cross.

Well considering recent events, it's normal to have been concerned about her anyway! If she didn't normally make contact that would be a bit different, but apparently she usually did. I am glad she is ok but the disappearing act was uncalled for... I hate to say but attention seeking does spring to mind!

Home News Visa rat! Tunisian toy boy husband duped me out of £35k
Visa rat! Tunisian toy boy husband duped me out of £35k
by Helen O'Brien -
Michelle was excited to start life in the sun with her new toyboy husband Hamma, until he started asking for a UK visa…
By Helen O'Brien Google
My heart skipped a beat as I saw a new Facebook message come through.
It was Hamma again, and I felt the same surge of excitement every time he replied to one of my messages.
He had started messaging me a few months ago and I was still a bit skeptical.
He had added me out of the blue and I thought there would be no harm in having another friend on there.
I never expected it to go any further and I was shocked when he asked to talk over webcam.
At 21, Hamma was half my age and I was wary about his intentions – I'd heard horror stories about young Tunisian men scamming older British women for money before.
He was gorgeous and I couldn't help being attracted to him. But I was divorced with six children.
Surely he would never fancy an old girl like me, I thought.
Only he didn't seem interested in money and he was so sweet and caring. He constantly showered me with compliments.
"You're beautiful," he told me: "Come and see me in Tunisia, I want to see you in person."
I was tempted, but I held back, I didn't want to fall for him too easily.
But he was so genuine and persistent that I was eventually won over and after six months of talking I visited him in Tunisia in December 2010.
Under the beautiful sunshine, everything seemed perfect.
Hamma was even better looking in the flesh and he was so affectionate, I felt flattered.
But, like his family, Hamma was a Muslim and felt uncomfortable having a relationship without his god's approval.
Michelle and Hamma in happy times
"Will you marry me? It would please my family," he said.
I was horrified at first, it was far too soon.
But he explained it wouldn't be an official marriage in law, just an Islamic marriage ceremony at his local mosque, so I happily agreed.
It was so romantic and spiritual, I felt totally at home with Hamma and his family.
It was like I had known him all my life.
After that Hamma begged me to marry him properly, but I was determined to make him wait.
I visited as often as I could and we spoke every single day when we were apart.
I couldn't help falling for him – he was never too busy to talk to me.
"Come and live with me here in Tunisia," he begged.
It sounded like the perfect idea, but I was nervous about uprooting my life here – it was a big step.
In the end he was so persistent that I couldn't resist and agreed to marry him.
But my son Jason, now 30, didn't approve.
Hamma and his family were very poor, so I often helped him out with money – I knew life in Tunisia was tough and Hamma had struggled for years to find work.
Jason said: "I don't like this Mum, he's only in it for the money, he's using you."
But he didn't know Hamma like I did.
I said: "Don't be silly, I've been seeing him for ages now, I know what I'm doing."
We had been together for at least a year before Hamma first asked for cash. Hardly the approach of a desperate scammer!
By then I had met his family and seen how little they had. That's how I knew he genuinely needed help.
So, ignoring my son's warnings, I trusted in my heart and went ahead with the legal marriage.
We said our vows officially under the Tunisian sun in May 2012. I wore a traditional white wedding dress and felt like the luckiest woman in the world.
I'd been married before but it didn't work out and we divorced in 2005 after 32 years of marriage.
It was really important to me that this time it was perfect.
I was sure Hamma was genuine – we had been together for two years already after all.
This time I knew it was forever.
But just a week after our wedding, Hamma called me up.
He said: "Will you help me pay for a UK visa?"
I was confused – we had always talked of building a life together in Tunisia.
He said he wanted to be able to visit me and my family, which seemed reasonable.
But when I realised a permanent visa would cost over a thousand pounds I told him I couldn't help him – I had already spent thousands to support him and his family.
I thought a visitor's visa would be the best option and he seemed happy to apply for that.
The application process was long and slow, and I was shocked when his application was refused in January 2013.
We had been married for a year by then, and together for three, so I thought there wouldn't be any problems.
I assumed that there must have been a mix up so we appealed the decision and in the meantime I still visited him all the time.
Michelle Amri now
But then Hamma's application was refused again when our appeal went to a tribunal in May this year.
Hamma had said in his application that he worked in Tunisia running a farm, but he didn't have a job at all.
Because he had been dishonest they just refused it outright – they said he had no ties to Tunisia to prove he would return.
I was sad that my husband couldn't come to visit me, but I thought we would just carry on as we had been.
I started looking at moving to Tunisia. Life in the sun will be bliss, I told myself.
But my toyboy husband had other ideas…
Just days after the tribunal decision, I received a Whatsapp text message from him ending our marriage after just two years.
It said: "I need someone who can support me with money to get a visa, I'm sorry."
He told me I was too old for him and if I couldn't help him then he'd have to find someone who could.
I was heart broken.
I felt completely used – after we got married I gave Hamma access to my bank account and he withdrew money every week.
I didn't have much cash, so I'd even been letting him have the child tax credits that I got for my two youngest boys, who hadn't turned 18 at the time.
That money should have been spent on my kids, but instead I wasted £35,000 bailing him out of debt – and even more travelling back and forth to visit him.
How could I be so blind?
I felt like such a fool that I let him take over my life just to entertain his hopes of getting a free ticket to the UK.
I had been caught up in my little love bubble, flattered that such a good looking, charming man was interested in me. I should have realised it was too good to be true.
Then just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I logged into Hamma's Skype account a few weeks later.
Tears streamed down my face as I saw he'd been talking to more than 20 other British women.
He says that he wasn't using me, but I'll never believe that, especially as he's now moved onto other British women.
I can't believe that I'm facing my second divorce, but I've learnt from my mistakes. I feel stronger and wiser now.
I'm just glad that he didn't get what he wanted out of me.
Hamma said: "We did apply for the visa and I was refused.
"We appealed but it was refused again. I'd been waiting more than two years.
"I don't believe in relationships if you can't see them. You know, she's over there and I'm all the way over here so it doesn't make any sense. It is difficult.
"How can you live together as husband and wife when she's over there and I'm over here?
"I'm sure you have ideas about Tunisia and what it's like here — no jobs. It's hard to live here. But I didn't use her to get a visa."

Seventy Lancaster County children were living in foster care on June 30, 2007, according to the Department of Social Services. The Lancaster County Volunteer Guardian ad Litem program can train you to become a volunteer advocate for these children. They need a caring adult who can speak up for them and help them find safety and love.
By resolving to become a volunteer advocate, you will be giving of your time and talents to help a child in foster care. You will devote a few hours every month to visiting a child, and getting to know him or her.
You will learn how the child is doing in school, what his or her family is like, and most importantly, what the child wants for the future. You will become the link between where that child is, and where he or she wants to be.
Our free training will teach you how to become a positive, effective advocate for children. We seek volunteers, male or female, who are over 21, of any education, background, ethnicity or race.
All that you need is the desire to work with children, and the ability to donate 4-6 hours per month to the program.
Our next volunteer training session will begin Jan. 24. If you can resolve to help an abused child, please call me, Blondean Funderburk, at 286-6064. You may also visit Lancaster.scgal.org for more information or an application.

What is Privileged Access Management?
By Zach DeMeyer Posted April 13, 2019
What is privileged access management? It's a great question and one that is highly relevant in the modern era of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Traditionally, PAM solutions, as they are known, have worked well with on-prem data centers and collocation facilities. But in the modern era of cloud infrastructure, is privileged access management needed?
Identity Management as a Whole
These are all great questions as the identity and access management (IAM) market shifts and morphs with the changes in the underlying IT landscape. Identity management solutions are a function of the users and the IT resources they are accessing.
Historically, that meant that an identity management solution, usually Microsoft® Active Directory®, would need to connect users to their Windows-based IT resources including their system (laptop/desktop), servers, applications, and even the network. It made sense that AD was the identity provider of choice because of the IT landscape at the time.
Server Authentication
As IT organizations and ops teams expanded their critical infrastructure—namely servers in their on-prem or collocated data centers—Active Directory began to struggle. The criticality of these IT resources meant that an elevated level of authentication and authorization was required. Instead of relying on Active Directory, many organizations extended AD to their server infrastructure with an add-on tool called privileged access management.
PAM solutions, which are now sometimes called Advanced Server Access platforms, would extend AD identities to an organization's data center. Like other AD add-ons, such as single sign-on (SSO) tools or identity bridges, PAM solutions helped IT organizations graft their AD-based environments into a changing modern IT era. Privileged access managers were largely on-prem and enterprise grade, just as AD was. This approach to identity management worked well for a period of time.
The Effects of Modern IT
As AWS® and Google Cloud Platform™ emerged, the cracks in this approach started to appear. AWS relied on SSH keys to access Linux® servers, so many DevOps organizations skipped the privileged access management solution for free configuration automation tools such as Chef, Puppet, Ansible, and Salt. But, these too had their drawbacks and broke down at scale. In fact, the identity management infrastructure within organizations was changing. No longer was the on-prem network Windows-based, but rather a mixture of platforms and cloud solutions.
All of these changes put tremendous pressure on the Active Directory and privileged access management approach that many took. While some have now turned to vendors like BeyondTrust or now Okta to continue on the PAM + AD path, others are looking towards a more holistic approach to identity management.
Centralized Identity Management for Servers and More
In light of this search for holistic identity management, a new generation of solution, an identity provider with privileged access management combined into one broader solution, has appeared. Called cloud identity management, this new directory service integrated the concepts of cross-platform user management, cloud and on-prem server access control, web application single sign-on, cloud LDAP, virtual RADIUS, system management, 2FA, and much more into one SaaS-based identity management platform.
All of this and more are available from JumpCloud® Directory-as-a-Service®. Admins using JumpCloud can tightly control user access to virtually all IT resources, regardless of end user choice of platform, protocol, provider, or location. That control includes servers, both cloud and on-prem, using LDAP and SSH key pairs.
If you are interested in privileged access management, consider your options. All-in-one identity management might better suit your environment. If so, then give JumpCloud a try. Your first ten users in the platform are free forever. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call or leave a message.

Expanding the scope of cell-free protein expression
Alternative robust cell-free expression system based on a marine bacterium could facilitate advances in synthetic biology and basic research
By Benjamin Boettner
The use of the microbial host E. coli has been crucial for the development of many important biotechnologies. For example, E. coli, has been used as a living factory in the large-scale production of valuable therapeutic proteins and other important biomolecules. Because in vivo bacterial culture is often a lengthy and expensive procedure, especially at large scales or in the parallel synthesis of many different proteins at the same time, researchers have developed in vitro cell-free expressions systems to do the same work in a fraction of the time and at much lower costs.
In this time-lapse video, the Vibrio natriegens cell-free extract is used to express a luciferase enzyme, whose luminescence increases following addition of a substrate and then drops again within 5 minutes of the reaction. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University
Microbial in vitro cell-free expression systems harness the molecular machinery of bacteria such as E. coli as crude or purified extracts to perform the complex task of translating a user-specified DNA template into its protein product. In addition, because cell-free expression is not limited by the strict conditions needed for optimal bacterial growth in vivo, researchers are able to produce and characterize proteins or other biomolecules that they may not have access to otherwise.
Yet, despite the overall potential of E. coli as a source for cell-free expression systems at different scales, researchers have recognized that other bacterial species could provide unique advantages such as specialized gene expression programs that evolved to adjust their metabolism to specific environments, or simply faster growth rates. Being able to harness their molecular machineries as well could open up new basic and biotechnological research applications.
A research team led by founding and Core Faculty member George Church at the Wyss Institute has developed a low-cost and highly efficient alternative to E. coli as a bacterial cell-free expression system by leveraging Vibrio natriegens, a salt-loving (halophile) marine bacterium that in less than 10 minutes divides faster than any other known organism in media containing inexpensive nutrients. The team's new system can be generated more rapidly and cost-effectively on-site and could be used for a wide range of applications, including the parallel expression of multiple proteins, engineering of metabolic pathways that produce valuable chemicals, and the design of artificial genetic circuitry for synthetic biology applications. The advance is reported in ACS Synthetic Biology.
Microbial cell-free expression systems are generated by growing bacterial cultures to a certain density, rupturing of the bacteria, and removing unwanted cellular debris. Left in the remaining crude extract are all necessary elements for reading DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA) intermediates (transcription) and translating those into functional proteins (translation), as well as for protein folding and energy metabolism. After adding in a DNA template encoding a specific protein, the basic building blocks of mRNA intermediates and proteins, an energy source, as well as additional cofactors and salts, a succession of reactions is started that leads to the exclusive synthesis of the protein product according to the template's instructions.
The team started engineering their V. natriegens cell-free expression system applying conditions commonly used for E. coli. "Using a fluorescent model protein as a read-out, we tweaked the parameters important for growth of the bacteria and the cell-free expression reaction itself. This approach enabled us to prepare reaction-ready extracts that can express the model protein at a sustained high level over long periods of time," said the study's first author Daniel Wiegand, a Research Scientist at the Wyss Institute. "Our head-to-head comparisons show that our optimized system from wild-type V. natriegens performs as good as a highly engineered strain of E. coli."
This new cell-free expression system with its unique features and high cost-effectiveness could be used as a test bed in multiple basic research and synthetic biology efforts, including the identification of designer enzymes with altered or boosted activities from thousands of candidates.
However, equivalent approaches with E. coli require significantly longer times to prepare reaction-ready extracts, and commercially available E. coli extracts for cell-free protein expression are significantly more expensive than the team's V. natriegens-based extracts, which can be made for merely $1 per reaction.
"This new cell-free expression system with its unique features and high cost-effectiveness could be used as a test bed in multiple basic research and synthetic biology efforts, including the identification of designer enzymes with altered or boosted activities from thousands of candidates, for example DNA polymerase molecule variants that can more efficiently read or write DNA," said Church, Ph.D., who also is Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). "It could also become a new discovery tool in metabolic engineering approaches to produce coveted chemicals or be used in strategies aiming to synthesize therapeutic proteins."
Additional authors on the study are postdoctoral fellow Henry Lee, Ph.D., and postdoctoral fellow and co-corresponding author Nili Ostrov, Ph.D., two members of Church's team. The work was funded by grants from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences at the National Institutes of Health and the Department Energy.

With Manchester By The Sea, Kenneth Lonergan has made something almost immaculate. A close examination of the all encompassing effect of grief, without presenting any solution to it or making a completely passive victim out of anyone involved, as far too many 'weepy' films often do (here's looking at you, Me Before You). It's also surprisingly funny – with more laughs than many films marketed as comedies this year.
Casey Affleck plays Lee Chandler, who at first appears to us as a plain, quiet janitor from Boston with a less-than-friendly disposition. Affleck puts in an outstanding performance, expertly keeping pace with the film as it switches between quiet sadness and frustration, to comedic frustration at the drop of a hat; swinging between hilariously and painfully unsociable. Lee is a character who, at first glance, should be completely unlikeable – but Affleck imbues him with plenty of charisma, his exasperation and frustration often resulting in surprisingly comical outbursts during arguments with friends and family.
Following the death of his brother, the film quickly shifts location from shoddy apartment blocks in Boston to Manchester by the Sea in Massachusetts, a peaceful, colourful fishing village that soon becomes imbued with an air of sadness. The film is rife with uncertainty, with Lee's emotions towards others appearing numb at best, hostile and angry at worst. What we see in the character is almost entirely shaped by context, his at first comical prickliness transformed into something much more heartbreaking as his past is made clear.
The film isn't just a showcase for Lonergan's excellent, authentic dialogue – it's also beautifully made. While the direction may not be the most exciting in terms of movement and imagery, the editing and pacing is absolutely perfect; timed to perfection in every circumstance, and seamlessly integrating flashback into the main narrative as Lee deals with the aftermath of a death in the family. It's more about coping than fixing anything, as Lee struggles not to break entirely throughout the course of the film under the weight of his loss and his newfound responsibilities. Even the soundtrack sounds like something someone would put on to calm down.
Manchester By The Sea is a tragedy of painful and epic proportions told extremely well, without pretension, but not without humour. Avoiding the grandiose melodrama of many films that are released in 'Oscar season', Lonergan expertly handles dialogue and cinematic technique to create a moving study of grief and depression that doesn't patronize the audience or beat you over the head with the misery of it all. The dialogue is expert and naturalistic, never becoming overly grandiose even when confronting unfathomable loss. The film simply just is, and while it isn't meandering, there isn't a clear endpoint in sight as the film fights on. In the same class as films like Louder Than Bombs, it's a character study first – and a deeply cinematic, affecting and a shockingly funny and charming one at that.

Whether you choose granite or quartz worktop for your kitchen, the colour of the stone is a critical factor in the overall design. With 100+ colours and patterns available in the granite portfolio alone, you can imagine how difficult it can be for the first time shoppers. Depending on whether you are only replacing your kitchen worktop or revamping the whole space, there are various ways of choosing worktop colours.
You can take help from colour design theories for deciding the right colour of your kitchen or bathroom worktops. Read on to know more.
• Complementary theory- Complementary colours, simply put are two opposing shades that look good together. You can try out using Kashmir white with Starry night (black) to get a complementary theme in your kitchen.
• Analogous theory- Analogous theme is when you decide 2 or more colours that look alike for example beige with light brown or off white with grey. Analogous scheme would help you bring a classical balance in the overall colour scheme.
• Monochromatic theory- This involves selecting a single colour and using various shades in that to get a more comforting, consistent look.
