Genomics and NYU
New York University and the American Museum of Natural History have received a $1.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation to explore plant evolution and to create a public database that provides information about the structure and inferred function of proteins found in two plant genomes. The three-year grant will allow the researchers at both institutions to investigate ground-breaking methods for exploring the evolution, structure, and function of proteomes - the entire array of proteins expressed by a genome.
Please click here to read the press release in its entirety.
As you may know, NYU is at the forefront of Genomics. But in order to continue to build in this rapidly evolving field, our scientists need facilities to match their extraordinary talents.
The revolutionary new Center for Genomics and Systems Biology planned for 12-16 Waverly Place is at the very heart of NYU's Washington Square campus. It will give our professors, researchers, graduate, and undergraduate students the tools they need to unleash the full potential of their research and to remain at the forefront of their field. While key sources of funding for ongoing research projects have already been secured, building these facilities will require the support and generosity of our entire University community.
Please take a moment to visit Endless Possibilities: The Campaign for The Center for Genomics and Systems Biology for more information. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Who Knew Punk Rope Originated At NYU?
Are you looking to get some great exercise and have fun at the same time? If so, Punk Rope is for you. That's right, Punk Rope.
Punk Rope is a fitness class created by NYU alumnus, Tim Haft (GSAS '86). Tim also worked at NYU as a career counselor in the Office of Career Services from 1988 to 1993. So it's only fitting that Tim launched Punk Rope at NYU. The first class was held at Coles in 2004. Since then Punk Rope has spread to community centers, health clubs, college rec centers, and schools in 12 states.
But you're still probably scratching your head wondering what exactly is Punk Rope. Take one part recess, one part boot camp, and one part rock concert. Toss in a blender, flip the switch, and voila you have Punk Rope. More specifically Punk Rope combines creative calisthenics with rope jumping, group conditioning drills, and core training for a highly effective workout which improves aerobic capacity, bone density, body composition, coordination, agility, timing, and balance.
Most importantly, Punk Rope is fun. It's a great way to get an intense workout, laugh, make new friends, and listen to some incredible music all at the same time. Most classes are thematic in nature meaning that the music and drills relate to a particular holiday or cultural event such as Oktoberfest, the Super Bowl, or International Women's Day. This approach to exercise helps to distract the participant and reduces the discomfort often associated with intense exercise.
Want to sign up for a Punk Rope class? Here's the information:

The most common language spoken in Mexico is Spanish. So before you go, learn to say the basics at the very least; Hello (Hola!), thank you (Gracias) and I'm sorry (Lo Siento). Familiarise yourself with common phrases that will help you as a traveller; you'll be thankful for it if you get lost or want to interact with the locals!
Mexico may be famous for its tequila and margaritas but our advice is to drink responsibly and well within your limits. Only buy alcohol from reputed establishments and never leave your drinks unattended.
Mexico tours are usually packed with lots of fun things to do, great sights to see and wonderful places to visit. Whilst it may be important to see as many things as possible, do read up on places that are safe and unsafe to travel to. Stay within the tourist routes where possible and travel with a companion or in a group where possible. Drug violence and crime does exist in Mexico so be sure to stay away from dangerous areas. You can always check with your hotel if you are unsure.
Drinking purified or bottled water whilst holidaying in Mexico is key! Always ask if the ice is made from filtered water too and if it isn't, then go without. Often, unclean water can leave us feeling very unwell and cause severe stomach problems and viruses. Our advice is also to eat well-cooked food rather than cold salads that may have been washed in local, un-purified water.
Keeping these simple tips in mind will help you make the best of your holiday and ensure you have a great time. If you are lucky enough to be having a Mexican holiday this year, we hope it's a memorable one!
And remember to take your Flexicover travel insurance with you!


Hello! I hope you're having a good week! I'm going to be doing a couple things here on this blog in the next couple weeks so hang tight.
Ah, don't you wish you could know the date! There is currently no set 100% date but guys, end of September time. It's coming so cloooooseeee!! So, to get my audience (you guys) excited and ready for this debut that I've been working on and to give you an idea of how very very hard I've been working and sort of the process and the challenges and the thoughts I went through, a lot of my posts from now on are going to be talking about my characters, my methods of writing and fun tips and tricks I've learned. I hope you'll join me for this journey to publishing and thank you for reading!
Now, onto today's post. Guys posts like these are my favorite kind to write. So most likely they'll tend to stay the same XD.
Life the last year has been… Good. I didn't notice anything extremely awful. God has blessed me with an amazing family and amazing experiences, I'm getting close to finishing my school and graduating. I met my best friend over Camp Nano in July and… It's been nice. Calm. I've been getting my breath back.
I didn't… know that things had changed from before. I didn't know what happened changed me. A lot of my friends have grown up and moved forward. Ethan and Tanya had their baby boy and he's gorgeous. The character I named Joseph has gone to Bible college and come back with a girl that he's marrying in June and I'm so happy for them. I'm not as close to any of them as I used to be. On one hand that made me sad. I had no close friends, people to have Sunday parties with. They had their spouses or girlfriend/boyfriends. They'd graduated before me, and move forward in life. I felt left behind, but I've been trusting God in His timing. And I still am. On the other hand it was exciting, seeing that God had other plans for me and pursuing those plans.
I want to share a song with you guys that I listen to periodically. It's in a large playlist I have and so whenever it comes on I listen. Last week I was doing chores and it came on and hearing the words washed over me in unbelievable awe. I couldn't believe how… It spoke to me. It spoke of me. I never thought I would relate but I did. The truth that the words spoke into my heart almost knocked the breath out of me.
Who could change the world.
I wanted to bring Jesus glory, you know? And I was throwing my everything into doing that. Fellowship and friendship and laughter and Bible studies and it was so much work but even as I was physically exhausted I was spiritually energized. I loved it.
But then things happened. And I fell harder than I admitted.
My relationship with Jesus didn't suffer, but my dedication to… others I guess, did. My Bible study get togethers stopped all together. I smiled when I went to church, but I didn't make new friends. I didn't reach out to get to know others. I was… knocked off my feet. It wasn't self pity. I was just… hurt. Shocked. But I didn't know it.
I withdrew. I was trying to hold tight to what was mine and be content with that.
Life was good, but I was dreary. I smiled and laughed and I tried to be my best, but that old me was gone. I didn't know what happened to her. I was starting to lose hope that I would ever have her back. I was starting to settle for this being the new me. Maybe my personality had changed. I wasn't… B. R. B. anymore. I wanted to be but she. wasn't. there.
And then… I don't know what happened. It wasn't sudden and it was at the same time. It took almost exactly a year to get my feet back under me. So many things fell into place… I.. can breath again.
This last week all I wanted to do was smile and dance and pray for others and read my Bible. Girls I don't know what happened but Praise God it did.
I'm still that girl. I'm still going to change this place I call my world. I feel like nobody can stop me so long as I have God on my side and I'm ready to better myself, instead of hang onto who I was. I'm not terrified to move. I'm not scared to let my emotions show anymore, because I'm back. I'm happy again. I'm loud and I laugh and guys it feels so good to be back.
I've found me. I'm still that girl. And I'm so happy.
So what do I want to say? If you're struggling through a down time in your life, even if you don't quite know that you are, hang in there. You are still that girl. You're still inside, and you will get through this. You will overcome and you will heal and you will come out the other side with a song of worship on your lips.
Stick to Jesus, know who you can trust and trust them. Pray for yourself and have others pray for you and smile as much as you can. You're still that girl.
Live, love and LAUGH girls.
P.S. What do you guy's think of the update? The colors? Fonts? Is it easier to read? Let me know in the comments!
How did you know this was me?
How did you know that I was going through this tough time?
Thank you so much. Thank you for caring enough to write this. For putting God first and for following Him and for writing this and you have touched me. This spoke to my heart, cheesy as it may sound. Thank you.
Jo girl you're gonna make me cry ❤❤❤❤ I'm so blessed to know this spoke to you! I write my posts knowing each of them is for one girl specifically and when I get to hear from the girl that it touched it just makes me so happy.
This is was so beautiful, Libby! 🙂 I love this because it's so true and encouraging! It makes us happy to know that even though we've changed, at the same time, we're still that girl.

Evolving Prehospital, Emergency Department, and "Inpatient" Management Models for Geriatric Emergencies
Christopher R. Carpenter, Timothy F. Platts-Mills
Alternative management methods are essential to ensure high-quality and efficient emergency care for the growing number of geriatric adults worldwide. Protocols to support early condition-specific treatment of older adults with acute severe illness and injury are needed. Improved emergency department care for older adults will require providers to address the influence of other factors on the patient's health. This article describes recent and ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of emergency care for older adults using alternative management approaches spanning the spectrum from prehospital care, through the emergency department, and into evolving inpatient or outpatient processes of care.

The Airport 85 Motel is perfectly located only 10 minutes from Brisbane Airport.
Situated in a quiet, highly sought-after location within sub-tropical gardens, boasting 25 rooms of various configurations, all with modern decor with mostly king beds.
This 4-star rated property is a well-established successful business which has maintained a high occupancy and above average rates for the area.
On offer is the Leasehold interest of a 25 unit two-story motel with small in-house dining room operated for breakfast only, with an inground pool and spa and a two bedroom fully renovated manager's residence.
This corporate style motel could by successfully and easily run by owner operators or under management.
The rooms are of modern décor and in excellent condition, with minimal maintenance costs, very low maintenance grounds, minimal lawn to mow and mulched gardens, all ensure the new owners can spend their time on the business and the guests to maximise the bottom line.
There are outstanding opportunities for the business going forward. New owners could easily maximise the potential of the unused restaurant, introduce a dedicated web site, increase social media presence, possibly even drop the Best Western association, any or all of these will further increase income and profits.
The property's position is the key being so close to Brisbane Airport, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of noisy traffic (no need for double glazing here unlike Kingsford Smith Drive properties).
Being on the short list of properties within a 10-minute drive or better still walking distance to so much Brisbane has to offer, highlights why this motel is one of the few in Brisbane in such an outstanding position.
All of this combines to make the Airport 85 motel to be an extremely rare opportunity for the knowledgeable motelier.
Make it yours, give me a call to arrange a viewing.


Tushino Machine-Building Plant. TMZ. Photo.
TMZ (Open Joint-Stock Company "Tushinsky Machine-Building Plant") - until recently - the largest enterprise of the Russian aerospace industry. The company was established in 1932 year and its goal was the development of the latest models of aviation (such as aircraft "Steel-2"), and in the near future, and space technology. The plant is located in the city of Tushino.
At various times at the factory, both military-made products and civilian products were produced - trams, trolleybuses, front-line fighters and buses. In 1980 — 1990, the Buran orbital manned spacecraft (reusable) was being built at the plant.
In the early 1990-ies the plant participated in the construction of the Kalmyk wind power by installing three wind power 1 megawatts (like the only power wind turbines manufactured in Russia).
One of the recent contracts is the supply of tools and equipment for construction in the 2008-2009 years of the Adygea hydroelectric station.
The best times to plant it carried out its work over 28 thousand people, at the moment the number of employees decreased significantly - up to a thousand.
Among the key figures of the open joint-stock company, one can single out the identity of the general director: Ivan Vladimirovich Spirin.


Have you ever taken a giant step forward in either your business or your home life? Were you scared or sure this was the right step to take? Somehow we learn more from the experience if we start in fear. My theory is that we have such a wide range of emotions to go from fear to excitement at the breakthrough that it seems like we've learned more, but really the wide range of emotions just gets our attention more.
I know a lot of times I, and other coaches, say to take baby steps, which is a great thing, but once in a while we just need to take a giant step that takes us out of our comfort zone.
So what do you think? Do you have a goal that seems a little big that you keep putting off that taking a step could help get you moving? What steps could you take? For example, if you want to start dating again after a long dry spell or a relationship that is no longer working, do you jump into on line dating or ask your friends for a blind date? Or maybe if you are at your office, you volunteer to take on a big project for the boss.
First, find a goal you want some movement on.
Second, come up with one or two and see what resonates with you. Use your imagination; really think big. If you need to, find someone you trust that has a great imagination and maybe thinks outside the box.
Third, evaluate what you come up with and make a decision. The decision should be something that will lead you toward your goal, feel right and probably be out of your comfort zone if you are taking a "giant" step.
What do you think? Are you ready to take that giant step into the unknown? I have faith in you. You can do this thing. Let's make a pact to make our dreams come true.


Original title – Mātes piens.
Rather late getting to this one as I await the first title from this years Peirene selection I looked back and last year I hadn't reviewed one of there books which is a great shame as I have covered most of there books from the first three in year one. Anyway, this is written by the Latvian writer Studied in Latvia then moved to New York to finish her studies. She on her return to Latvia set up the Latvian literature centre and started writing herself she has published over twenty books and has had two translated into English this is her first novel translated to English she also has a short story collection in English life stories is available still.
I don't remember 15 october 1969. There are people who swear they remember their birth. I don't. It's likely that I was well positioned in my mothers womb, because the birth was normal. Not particularly long, or particularly short, with the last contractions coming every five minutes. My mother was twenty five, young and healthy. Her mental state, though was not so healthy, as I learned later.
I do remember , or at least I can picture, the golden, tender calm of October, alternating with forebodings of a long peri=oid of darkness. It's a kind of boundary month, at least in the climate of this latitude, where seasons change slowly and autumn only graduallly gives way to winter.
The opening liunes as the daughter remembers the autumn month but not her own entering to the world!
I read this first last year and struggled to get into it and thus left it unreviewed but when stuck the other day with a feeling of nothing grabbing me I'd started half dozen books and got thirty pages in and lost interest. But this time I was really grabbed by the voice of the daughter describing her mother and then got the book the nameless narrators tell the stories in flipping narratives the daughter born in 1969 both mother and daughter born in the same month twenty-five years apart. The daughter growing under the Brezhnev regime her mother never feed her on the breast leading to her hating milk. Milk is a recurring motif in the book. The relationship is strained the, mother a tough woman in her story we see how she ended up in a small town a doctor but not allowed to [ratice in the field she studied which is birth and is a researcher on the effects on woman when she tries to help an abused wife and is banished because her husband was a ranking Soviet figure to be a simple country GP all this is told in her story the daughter only sees her mother now a broken woman she struggles to be herself her mother loves western books reads the poorly type books those Samizdat works will these two ever get what they want from their lives and even get to leave the village.
The river was warm as milk. Only late at night could it providerelief from the sweltering heat. The days felt interminable; the short night brought the balm of darkness. At the end of July the ambulatory centre was closed for a month. I began a long, lonely, senseless time. I lay naked in my shadow-filed room,trying to kill the nights and days.
A use of milk her as the description of the river.
I loved the unnamed narrators as their tale is not just a personal story but the tale of the whole under a regime where people could see their dreams destroyed in a single moment. The common theme in Peirene books over the years of the mother-daughter relationship, in this case, is even given a third fold as the state in Soviet times view its self as a mother and the milk they feed some of its citizens was bitter at times leads to motif of milk from the mother not feeding the daughter milk but to the daughter not having milk at school the theme of milk is recurring I felt a comradeship with the daughter not drink milk my whole life I get the hatred of this pure white liquid that maybe like its Soviet regime isn't pure or white is just an emulsion of fat and water very apt for the regime !. I enjoyed this and it was a great intro to Latvian fiction as this is my first book from Lativa having reviewed books from the other Baltic states I know have the last one covered by this book. It does what it says for the series and shows who even thou the two are at home they aren't as there home is a world they can't get to under the soviet shackle.

Google Glass Available for Purchase April 15 in Special One-Day Event
Google is expanding its Glass Explorers program by offering a special one-day opportunity on April 15 for any U.S. resident to buy a Glass device for $1,500, even though it is still not available for retail sales.
The one-day sales promotion was unveiled by the Glass team on April 10 at 3:01 p.m. EDT in a post on the Glass Google+ page after a rumor about the program began circulating on news sites on the Internet. The original rumor was posted by The Verge, which had posted a story earlier in the day.
Google quickly decided to push its announcement forward following the rumors, which is not very common for the company.
The company confirmed the rumor and announced that on April 15 any U.S. resident will be eligible to try to buy a Glass device under the one-day promotion.
"Whoops. So … we'd planned to post this next week, but it looks like the cat's out of the bag now," wrote Google in its Google+ post. "Over the past several months, we've been trying out different ways to expand the Explorer program. Some of you signed up at Google I/O, some told us what you would do #ifihadglass, some were referred by a friend, some joined through their school or university. Our Explorers are moms, bakers, surgeons, rockers, and each new Explorer has brought a new perspective that is making Glass better. But every day we get requests from those of you who haven't found a way into the program yet, and we want your feedback too. So in typical Explorer Program fashion, we're trying something new."
That's where the one-day Buy-A-Google-Glass promotion comes in.
"Next Tuesday, April 15th at 9 a.m. EDT, we're opening up some spots in the Glass Explorer Program," the Google+ post continues. "Any adult in the U.S. can become an Explorer by visiting our site and purchasing Glass for $1,500 + tax—and it now comes with your favorite shade or frame, thanks to feedback from our current Explorers."
Not everyone who wants one, however, will be able to get one, according to the post. Instead, "the number of spots available is limited, so mark your calendar if you want to get in."
Interested Glass customers can log in to a special Website to get a reminder and further instructions on how to participate, according to the post.
"We're excited to meet our new Explorers, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts about Glass," the post continued.
Google Glass has been a topic of conversation among techies since news of it first arrived in 2012. The first Google Glass units began shipping in April 2013 to developers who signed up at the June 2012 Google I/O conference to buy an early set for $1,500 for testing and development, where it was the hit of the conference. Google also then began shipping Glass units to lucky users who were selected in the #ifihadglass contest for the opportunity to buy their own early versions of Glass.
In February 2013, Google expanded its nascent test project for its Glass eyewear-mounted computer by inviting interested applicants to submit proposals for a chance to buy an early model and become part of its continuing development. In March, Google also began notifying a pool of applicants who were selected to purchase the first 8,000 sets of Google Glass when they become available for real-world use and testing later this year by consumers. Those selected applicants have been receiving their units in waves.
Each Google Glass device includes adjustable nose pads and a high-resolution display that Google said is the equivalent of a 25-inch high-definition screen from 8 feet away. The glasses also feature a built-in camera that takes 5-megapixel photos and video at 720p. Audio is delivered to wearers through their bones, using bone-conduction transducers.
In March 2014, Google went on the defensive a bit about Glass and worked to improve public perceptions of the device by releasing a list of the Top 10 Google Glass Myths. Glass devices have received some serious criticism while being used in public, including outright bans in some bars, restaurants and other businesses, as well as privacy concerns from some people who just don't like the idea of Glass wearers recording them or viewing them using the devices.
At the same time, Google Glass is also gaining some acceptance in the marketplace, even before its official launch to consumers. In January 2014, Google announced a deal with eyewear and vision insurer VSP Global that will cover a portion of Google Glass frames and prescription lenses for its insurance customers.
Two months later, in March, VSP began getting a new facility in Maryland ready to make the lenses and assemble the units once Glass goes on sale to consumers.
So far, early Glass Explorer testers are able to choose from only four frames available for purchase, including curved, thin, split and bold frames, according to Google. All four available models are displayed on the Glass Website. Attachable sun shades are also available in several styles for purchase under that program. The frames cost $225, while the shades sell for $150, according to Google. Users will have to check with VSP to find out how much of the fees are reimbursable under their vision plans.
Also in March, Google announced that it was partnering with eyeglass frame vendor The Luxottica Group to someday offer trendy frames from famous makers such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Vogue-Eyewear and Alain Mikli as Glass units get closer to rumored retail production. Those plans give future Glass owners more fashion possibilities as more frames that work with Glass are developed.
The partnership is just getting under way, and it will likely be some time before additional Glass fashion frames are available for sale, according to Google. That means that Glass users won't be able to find Oakley or Ray-Ban frames and sunglasses right away, but that they will be in the pipeline.


Perflow Medical, an Israeli-based medical device company that develops innovative tools for neurovascular interventions, today announced that the company has closed $12 million in financing. The syndicate included existing investors, two new international investors, and an unnamed strategic investor. Following a recent launch in Europe, Perflow stated that over 50 mechanical thrombectomy procedures for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke have been successful completed with the Stream dynamic neuro-thrombectomy net.
The new investment will support the commercialisation of their first product, the Stream Net device, in Europe and select other countries and submission of the US FDA 510(k) dossier. It will also support product development of two new products based on their patent-protected CEREBRAL NET technology platform for aneurysm neck bridging and flow diversion procedures.
A next-generation thrombectomy device, the Stream Net is designed to address unmet clinical needs in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, a leading cause of long-term disability that accounts for 5.5 million deaths annually worldwide. It offers the physician full device control of the braided net diameter, length, and radial force to create dynamic wall apposition and better clot retention during revascularisation in tortious anatomy.

The staff was exceptional!! Very warm, welcoming, informative and helpful. Daniel warmly welcomed me as he checked me in. Gave me all of the information I needed to set on my day. He was sure to greet me every time I passed the reception area. Gago was efficient in checking me out early in the am and assisting me with transportation to the airport. All of the staff were fantastic! My only regret was not utilizing the spa and gym facilities more. The facilities were impeccable. Danny, the masseuse, treated me to a complimentary 10 minute massage. Wish I had more time to get a full treatment. Amazing hands. The rooftop bar seemed pretty swanky but again didn't have time to fully enjoy this amenity. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Great location in a lovely neighborhood. Fun hotel with some nice amenities. Wifi works well.
Great location, appealing modern rooms and common areas, friendly and responsive staff. Very good breakfast and spa (these weren't included in our rate). Great hotel gym (which was included). Restrained and traditional decor compared to some gay-oriented hotels.
Fernando and Oriol were beyond excepational Masseurs! Very professional, welcoming and gentle and made sure we were comfortable and satisfied the entire time. Highly recommend!!

The spa looks smaller than the photo. If you have the room facing the main street, sometime the lights from outside could bother you in the morning as the curtain cannot block out all the lights.
Perfect location, walkable to many tourist attractions, staff are super friendly and very helpful, rooftop bar is not to be missed.
one of the attenders was not nice.
Fantastic hotel, lovely staff and great location. Mini bar was a bit expensive!
Amazing place to stay in the very heart of Barcelona. The staff was just amazing. A special thanks to Gago from reception.
I arrived 2 hours earlier than the check-in time, and since my room was not ready yet I asked if I could go to the gym instead. They said that I needed to pay 8€ to go the gym or wait until I checked in and go for free. I found this pretty petty since I was a guest on the hotel.
They upgraded me to a premium room for free.
There is a light in the bathroom which is very irritating. The SPA was under construction. Would have love to informed before arrival.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Gago who checked me in.
