Type VII secretion systems are bacterial secretion systems first observed in the phyla Actinomycetota and Bacillota. Bacteria use such systems to transport, or secrete, proteins into the environment. The bacterial genus Mycobacterium uses type VII secretion systems (T7SS) to secrete proteins across their cell envelope. The first T7SS system discovered was the ESX-1 System.

T7SS has been studied as a virulence factor associated with the ESX-1 system in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These secretion systems are often found in gram-positive bacteria. Type VII secretion systems are necessary in Mycobacterium because of their impermeable membrane. The RD1 locus or Gene for Type VII secretion can create a lytic effect through ESX-1 transport.

Structure
Cryogenic electron microscopy was used to determine that a complex of two identical subunits made from four proteins forms the structure of the type VII secretion system in Mycobacterium smegmatis. T7SS forms a six-sided complex that allows for nearly 165 membrane attachments. This shows how complex the secretion system is. The MDa complex of the Type VII secretion system is found embedded in the inner membrane.

The T7SS structure in Mycobacteria is 28.5 nm in width and 20 nm in height. This secretion system is composed of the following components: inner EccB5, outer EccB5, EccC5, inner EccD5, outer EccD5, EccE5 and MycP5. These components make the 2.32-MDa complex. This complex is connected to an inner membrane by 165 transmembrane helices. The membrane is composed of a trimer of dimers. The dimers are made up of one copy of MycP5, EccB5, EccC5, EccE5, and two copies of EccD5. The MycP5 structure is what stabilizes the complex. Without the MycP5 complex, EccB5 copies cannot make the stable triangular scaffold. In the membrane EccD5 create barrels that are hypothetically filled with lipids. EccC is the only component of the T7SS that is present in all species that contain a type VII secretion system.

Mechanism
The core machinery of the Type VII secretion system is found in the inner membrane. Once this core machinery is assembled the Type VII secretion system exports alpha helical protein residues using ATP-ase. Type VII secretion systems use proteins from the ESX-1 system of secretion proteins. T7SS uses unique proteins as compared to other secretion systems.

Species distribution
Secretion systems are commonly found in gram-positive bacteria and Mycobacterium. There is also a system referred to as a T7SS in gram negative bacteria.

In gram negative bacteria a Type VII 'like" secretion system has been observed. It is known as the chaperone-usher fimbriae. This system helps gram negative bacteria colonize, form biofilms, and causes an increase in pathogenicity in the bacteria that utilize it. These systems are observable when genes for an Fimbrial usher protein (which is integral to the formation of a pilus in gram negative bacteria), a Chaperone (protein), and the building blocks of fimbriae are found together.

The Type VII secretion system, however, was first observed in firmicutes and actinobacteria, specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The type VII secretion system plays an important role in interbacterial competition, nutrient acquisition, and virulence in Firmicutes (which are spore-forming bacteria). This type of secretion system has also been observed to play a role in the virulence and cytotoxicity of Streptococcus species.

This system uses different proteins in order to function in varying species. The system alters itself and produces variants within each new species. These system variants are identified based on EssC- C terminus and other associated effectors. Variants have been observed in the following species: 4 variants in Group B streptococcus and staphylococcus aureus, and 7 variants within Listeria monocytogenes. This type of secretion system also provides essential cell functions pathways with which to proceed. Mycobacteria have a cell membranes that are impenetrable, T7SS allow for substrates to pass through, making the Type VII Secretion system (also known as ESX) essential for mycobacterial growth and virulence.

Role in virulence
T7SS plays a role in the virulence of mycobacterium. Disruption in the genes that encode T7SS called the RD1 locus results in the loss of function of secretion apparatus. The genes necessary for ESX-1 transport have also been found outside of the RD1 locus. This means that multiple genes are required for protein transport and disruption of these genes results in the loss of function in the secretion systems. The ESX-1 system secretes polypeptides which causes a lytic effect though the specific polypeptide is not known. The extended RD1 (extRD1) region expresses membrane lytic activity in mycobacteria. The extRD1 genes are necessary for haemolysis activity. Genetic changes to the ESX-1 system result in the loss of a secretion activity. In infection models this leads to a loss of virulence.

The least interesting food scandal of the year continues to worsen, with trade body the Food and Drink Federation warning that supermarket shelves might soon start running low on some foods soon, thanks to the weird shortage of CO2 that's disrupting the producers.
The problem is caused by clean food-grade CO2 producers struggling to meet demand because of a rash of unfortunately timed factory breakdowns, with the beer and Coke taps already under threat of being dialled down because of a lack of CO2 to inject fizz.
And the food industry is next because of the way it's used to stun animals and shrinkwrap our nozzled-out foods safely away from touch, says FDF chief Ian Wright, who was speaking on BBC radio today when he warned: "We will see fewer chicken dishes, fewer pork and bacon dishes. We'll see probably less carbonated drinks and certainly bakery and other things that benefit from what's called modified atmosphere packaging, which is plastic packaging with a tray underneath and a dish of food in them."


MONTREAL – Sick of losing business, Montreal's cabbies have formed a vigilante squad to combat unlicensed rivals who use the UberX app.
The UberX app allows passengers looking for a lift to hook up with drivers, who do not have a taxi driver's permit, for a fee that is 30% cheaper than a standard cab. While legal elsewhere, Montreal's Mayor Denis Coderre has previously stated that in his view, the app violates the law.
On Friday afternoon, one taxi driver requested a lift from the app, and upon arrival, him and some of his colleagues surrounded the vehicle and called the police, hoping for a fine and for the car to be towed.
"The only thing the police told us not to do is physically assault or restrain people," Jean-Paul Wilson, one of the organizers of the vigilante trap, said.
However, the cabbies were disappointed that the UberX driver did not receive a ticket.
The stunt was the result of boiling frustration among Montreal's cabbies, who say not enough is being done to crack down on their illegal competition.
So far this year, 11 UberX cars have been seized in Montreal.

India introduces new rules to regulate online content
By :The Report
Published : Feb 25, 2021 07:21:00 PM | Tech
India on Thursday rolled out new regulations for social media companies and digital streaming websites to make them more accountable for the online content shared on their platforms, giving the government more power to police it.
The Information Technology Ministry said the new regulations would require social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to swiftly erase content authorities deem unlawful. The regulations include a strict oversight mechanism that would allow the government to ban content affecting "the sovereignty and integrity of India."
The regulations would also require social media companies to assist investigations by India's law enforcement agencies. They were announced as debate swirls over free speech and the suspension by Twitter of some Indian accounts linked to farmers' protests after regulators ordered them to be blocked. Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said the new regulations were a "soft touch progressive institutional mechanism" required for the "security and sovereignty of India, public order, and rape or any other sexually explicit material."
They will require social media companies to remove illegal content as quickly as possible, but within no more than 36 hours after they receive a government or legal order. The new rules also require social media platforms to appoint what the government calls chief compliance and grievance officers to handle complaints from law enforcement agencies. These officers should be Indian citizens and must send monthly compliance reports to the government. "The government welcomes criticism of the government and the right to dissent, but it is very important that the users must be given a forum to raise their grievances against the abuse and misuse of social media," Prasad said during a televised news conference.
Social media messaging sites must also disclose to the government the original source of any "mischievous information." It was not immediately clear if this would mean messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Signal and others would have to break end-to-end encryption in India in order to comply. Apar Gupta, executive director of India Freedom Foundation, a digital rights advocacy group, said the government asking social media platforms to give details about originators of information "undermines user rights and can lead to self-censorship if users fear that their conversations are no longer private." The new regulations are to take effect within three months. They also will apply to digital streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime, which will have to set a "classification rating" to describe the content on their platforms.
Twitter found itself in a standoff with the government earlier this month when it refused to fully comply with a government order to remove some accounts, including those of news organizations, journalists, activists and politicians, citing its "principles of defending protected speech and freedom of expression." The government said the accounts — unspecified in number — were using provocative hashtags to spread misinformation about massive farmer protests that have rattled Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Twitter's actions appeared to irk Modi's government, which over the years has sought to tighten its grip over social media, particularly Twitter and Facebook. It served Twitter a non-compliance notice and threatened its officials with a fine and imprisonment of up to seven years for violating the order.
Modi himself has an active Twitter account, @narendramodi, with more than 66 million followers.

In the Court of the Crimson King – King Crimson [#627]
I first learned about King Crimson following the amusing Bill Bailey fronted Channel 4 docu-countdown-show Top Ten Prog which was broadcast at the height of the prog revival of the late nineties/early noughties.
Crimson King was the band's first album, King Crimson then comprising of Robert Fripp Michael Giles, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and Peter Sinfield. Over the years Crimson's line up would change more often than I change my socks with other notable musicians such as Yes' Bill Bruford and session musician Tony Levin turning up over the years. As a result of this frequent fluctuation of line up, it is difficult to find a sound that one can pin on their output as 100% identifiable King Crimson. Indeed, their heavy jazz influence makes most of their output inaccessible to me as after a while, for me, it starts to grate.
Even so, the variety of the sound and the diverse use of instruments make In the Court of the Crimson King is an album I enjoy listening to, however, the album is, sadly, not available on Apple Music. Licencing again eh?

Fear of a Blank Planet – Porcupine Tree [#464]
Porcupine Tree are another band that surprise me by hiding their albums of consistently good music in my collection. A prog band with more facets than a box of jigsaw pieces. Blank Planet is their ninth studio album with guests Robert Fripp (King Crimson) and Alex Lifeson (Rush).
In the last days of my degree, I was a mature student so this was quite recently, my television production lecturer and I bonded over our similar music tastes. I guess it was refreshing for him to have a student that understood prog and one who appreciated him getting Bill Bruford in to give us a lecture about media and drumming. So after an obscure prog band swap, he told me about Porcupine Tree. He told me I "should" like them. Now, long term readers of this project will recall how me "should liking" a band usually ends with "no I don't", but this is one of those rare occasions were they're actually growing on me. I have now listened to this album for a grand total of 5 times and yes, it is growing on me.
In true prog tradition, Fear of a Blank Planet is a concept album based on the book Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis but with the twist being sung from the viewpoint of the child of the books protagonist. It's suitably dark in tone with an apocryphal tale to tell about the growing reliance on technology amongst the youth.

"A comparative study of fluxes and compartmentation of nitrate and ammo" by X. Min, M.Y. Siddiqi et al.
Min, X.; Siddiqi, M.Y.; Guy, R.D.; Glass, A.D.M.; and Kronzucker, H.J., "A comparative study of fluxes and compartmentation of nitrate and ammonium in early-successional tree species" (1999). Aspen Bibliography. Paper 1011.


Description The purpose of this study was to compare ocular component dimensions and treated minus control eye differences measured with the Lenstar optical biometer to those measured with A-scan ultrasound in the tree shrew model of refractive development and induced myopia. A-scan ultrasonographic measures (A-scan) were taken with a 15 MHz focused pulser/receiver and compared with measures made with the Lenstar LS900 optical biometer (Haag-Streit, Basel, Switzerland). Anterior segment depth (ASD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous chamber depth (VCD), and axial length (AL) were measured in treated eyes (30), fellow control eyes (30), and normal eyes (86) in tree shrews (n=146), between 10 days after eye opening (days of visual experience [DVE]) and 1973 DVE. Lenstar VCD analyses were made using the retinal cursors. Treated vs. control eye differences were measured (n=60) in eyes made hyperopic or myopic by treatment with a monocular lens or by form deprivation. The A-scan measures and Lenstar measures were generally comparable (3.5% smaller) when the Lenstar was compared to the A-scan excluding vitreous chamber, which was substantially smaller (23%). If either the lens cursors or the retinal cursors (international software version) were used to measure vitreous chamber depth, Lenstar values were very similar (3.4% smaller than A-scan). All components (ASD, LT, VCD, and AL) were found to be highly correlated with a consistent offset (t-test; p < 0.05). Comparing treated vs. control eye differences of myopic (elongated) and hyperopic (shorter) eyes after monocular treatment showed a significant difference in VCD and AL (t-test; p < 0.05). The difference in vitreous chamber depth per diopter difference was 27.2 µm/D for A-scan and 26.1 µm/D for Lenstar. The correlation coefficients were consistently larger for the Lenstar than the A-scan. The slopes between the two systems were not significantly different. Using the standard cursors, the Lenstar substantially underestimates vitreous chamber depth in tree shrews compared with A-scan. Using the retinal (or lens) cursors to measure the vitreous chamber gives comparable results. The treated vs. control eye vitreous chamber differences (retinal cursors) in monocularly treated animals are very similar. In tree shrews, the Lenstar LS900 can be used in place of A-scan ultrasonography and has the advantage that it can be used in awake animals.

Israel, Not Hamas, Broke the Cease-Fire
Turkey, Egypt Working for Gaza/Israel Ceasefire
Israeli Peace Activist Warned Against Ground Offensive
Specter Promotes Diplomatic Solutions in Israel and Syria
From Volume 8, Issue 1 of EIR Online, Published Jan. 6, 2009
Dec. 31 (EIRNS)—"The Israeli side, in reality, broke the truce," said Mustafa Barghouti, an independent lawmaker in the West Bank city of Ramallah, when interviewed on NPR's "Morning Edition" today. Barghouti recounted that, after the fourth month of the six-month cease fire, the Israeli Defense Forces started to strike Gaza, including carrying out assassinations in both Gaza and the West Bank, even though "we warned this would provoke a reaction." Barghouti said that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak "orchestrated and planned this situation. He kept attacking Gaza until he got the reaction, and then he claimed he was attacking Gaza because he got the reaction."
Barghouti also said the Israeli attacks are not weakening Hamas, but are strengthening it, and he said that the current situation is the result to the two years' siege of Gaza, in which food and medical supplies were cut off.
On Dec. 27, an EIR collaborator in the Arab world said that the real story behind the Israeli assault, is the "strangulation of Gaza" during the entirety of the "calm," or ceasefire that formally ended on Dec. 19. Since the "calm" was negotiated in June 2008, there have been 153 Israeli incursions either by air or ground into Gaza—and some of them have been fairly large, including the killing of 52 Palestinians in one attack. There has also been the total closing of border crossings, cutting off food, medicine, fuel—everything that is needed for daily survival, he said. The Palestinians went to Cairo about three months ago, to say that such a "ceasefire" was a sham, and could not be accepted, and the Egyptian mediators told that to the Israelis. But Israel's response was to say that a "ceasefire" has nothing to do with border crossings, and they were not obligated to open up the borders for Hamas.
Jan. 3 (EIRNS)—Just prior to the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in Saudi Arabia today, on the final leg of his regional tour to organize a ceasefire and truce between Israel and Hamas. He was to meet Saudi King Abdullah and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
He had already traveled to Syria where he met with President Bashar Assad. His chief foreign policy advisor Ahmet Davutoglu met with Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in Syria. Erdogan then went to Jordan, and had been in Egypt meeting President Hosni Mubarak.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Aboul Gheit told the press that Egypt is calling for a ceasefire and a return to a Hamas-Israel truce and an international mechanism for opening the Gaza border crossing. Such a mechanism could include international forces, or Arab forces, or just observers. Egypt is demanding that the Palestinian National Authority, not Hamas, supervise the crossing. The PNA was removed from supervision of the crossing following the fighting between Hamas and Fatah earlier last year.
Jan. 2 (EIRNS)—A leading Israeli peace activist told EIR on Jan. 2, just prior to the Israeli ground offensive, that such a ground assault would become one of the darkest days in the history of Israel.
In a telephone discussion from Israel, Naftali Raz, a member of the pro-peace Meretz party, told EIR, "It is a dark day." He said he feared that within 24 hours, Israel would decide to launch a ground assault on Gaza, which will be the "worst decision in its history," and lead to thousands of Palestinian deaths and hundreds of Israeli. According to Raz, Hamas is banking on an Israeli ground assault, and has already prepared for it, and would strategically benefit from the catastrophe.
A similar scenario occurred in March 2002, when a suicide bombing was used as a pretext for then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to launch "Operation Defensive Shield," which had been in preparation for months.
Although he said he supported the initial Israeli attack, because of the Hamas missile strikes, Raz said the Israeli attacks should have ended after the first or second day. The only way out, Raz said, was an immediate ceasefire, even a unilateral one, and a return to the negotiating table.
Raz said his views are shared by some very senior retired military officers who have been speaking out in the media. One of the most outspoken is Gen. Amram Mitzner (ret.), former chairman of the Labor Party, who was interviewed on national radio calling for an immediate ceasefire, and who spoke against a ground assault. Other retired generals who have made similar statements include Amos Lapidot, former chief of the Israeli Air Force; Shlomi Gazit, former head of military intelligence; and Ben Ami Gov, a winner of the Israeli prize for national security. In addition, three well-known authors—David Grossman, Amos Oz, and A.B. Joshua—have been speaking out against the war.
While the latest poll shows that 82% of Israelis support the Gaza operation, a group called The Other Voice, based in Sederot, which is the Israeli city that has suffered the greatest number of rocket attacks from Gaza, has called for a ceasefire and co-existence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Dec. 31 (EIRNS)—U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) has been in Israel and Syria, where he held discussions on Syrian-Israeli peace talks. On Dec. 28, he met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and on Dec. 29 he met Syrian President Bashar Assad, to whom he delivered a message from Olmert. Specter has been active in promoting better U.S.-Syrian relations as well as Syrian-Israeli peace efforts. He has travelled often to both countries.
"I believe the efforts to isolate Syria have not been successful," Specter is quoted as saying in the Jerusalem Post. "We ought to try to change things. President Clinton tried to do a good job in 1995 and 2000, and I think it ought to be pursued." He said that "there could be a great deal to be gained" if an agreement with Syria were reached. Specter said he thought "it would be very difficult" to draw Syria out of Iran's orbit, because the ties go back "a long way." But, he said, "it is an evolving picture, and interests change. I think Syria would definitely like a closer relationship with the U.S. I have always been an advocate of diplomacy."
On Iran, he called for the U.S. to hold talks. "I think the dialogue ought to last however long the dialogue needs to last," he said. "I would hope that it would last and be successful, and lead to diplomatic relations, and peaceful terms, and to a new Iranian president who doesn't want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth; that's what I would like."
As to whether the Iranians would use the talks as a cover to move their nuclear program forward, Specter said, "They are going to move that forward whether we like it or not." Specter said that it needed to be communicated to the Iranians "in unmistakable terms that it is unacceptable for them to have a nuclear weapon, but I don't think we are well advised to say anything beyond that. No threats, no implied threats, just that it is unacceptable."

The stability of solubilized mammalian muscle acetylcholine receptors during purification by monoclonal immunoadsorption
M. Y. Momoi, Vanda A Lennon
Laboratory Medicine and Pathology
The stability of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) solubilized from mammalian skeletal muscle in nonionic detergent was investigated under various conditions of pH, chaotropic ions, and unfolding reagents in order to allow its purification in high yield by immunoadsorption to monoclonal antibodies. Preservation of the antigenicity and/or binding sites for α-bungarotoxin was used as an indicator of the receptor protein's integrity. Both were preserved in the pH range 6.5-8.0, but when exposed for 1 h at 4°C to a pH outside this range, >50% activity was lost. Of the chaotropic ions studied (NaSCN, NaI, NaNO3, NaCl), only NaCl was tolerated. Most of the AChR's toxin-binding activity was preserved after exposure to 2 M NaCl, which was suitable for dissociating AChR when a monoclonal antibody with relatively low binding affinity was selected as the immunoadsorbent. Yields of purified AChR were optimal (30%) when a low amount of monoclonal antibody was coupled to cyanogen bromide-activated agarose (1 mg protein/ml gel).

UC Berkeley research examines effects of minimum wage increases
PHOTOGISM | CREATIVE COMMONS
Suryan Bhatia
On July 1, the city of Berkeley raised its minimum wage to $15.59 per hour. Less than three weeks later, on July 18, the Raise the Wage Act of 2019 — which would increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 by 2025 — was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
A 2018 study co-authored by Anna Godøy, research economist at the UC Berkeley Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics, looked at the impact of the minimum wage exceeding $10 in the food service industry in six large cities. According to Godøy, the study found that when wages increase, there is little to no impact on job loss or growth.
"The overwhelming consensus is that for the increase of minimum wage we have seen, we haven't really found any large job losses," Godøy said. "Most studies didn't find any effect, and the ones that do see only a small loss. We can definitely expect to see large decreases in poverty."
Although one July 2019 study by the Congressional Budget Office estimated that 1.3 million jobs could be lost with a $15 federal minimum wage, the study also estimated that 1.3 million people would be lifted out of poverty; additionally, as many as 27 million workers whose wages are at, below or just above $15 per hour could also see wage increases.
According to Stefan Elgstrand, a legislative aide to Mayor Jesse Arreguín, Berkeley's July 1 minimum wage increase was implemented to reflect the high living costs of the Bay Area. He added that the local economy has been "booming" after the minimum wage increase. Citywide ground floor commercial vacancy rates have dropped from 6.6 percent in 2014 to 5 percent in 2018. During the same time period, unemployment dropped from 4.6 percent to 2.8 percent, according to Elgstrand.
UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education chair Ken Jacobs said in an email that research on higher minimum wages finds little to no effect on employment. He also added that although there might be price increases in restaurants and service industries, employee turnover would be reduced and worker performance would improve. According to Jacobs, an increased minimum wage could also "improve mental health, increase parental workforce participation and reduce child poverty."
"Federally, it would be good for everyone," said Kavitha Iyengar, president of United Automobile Workers Local 2865 — the union representing graduate student workers at UC campuses. "There are far too many people in poverty, and far too many people not earning enough due to business loopholes. A federal minimum wage would lift people out of poverty and puts an end to a lot of those bad business practices. I think it's time for a federal $15 minimum wage."

"Sampath Speaking" - the thoughts of an Insurer from Thiruvallikkeni: threat of another tsunami in 2009 !!!
There are some frantic messages circulating on internet urging people to stay from the beaches all around in the month of July. It speaks of a prediction of another tsunami hitting on July 22nd 2009 coinciding with sun eclipse. The warning states that it will badly hit countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going to be badly hit. It requests people to stay away from the beaches in July. It has a pictorial warning as well. Whilst this is appreciable in so far as concern for fellow brethren, have received another well researched mail from a friends which sounds much more sense; and some more is added to that.
"Comments: Unless some extraordinary coincidence occurs, the only true statement in the preceding message is that a solar eclipse will be visible in some parts of the world on July 22, 2009. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, not eclipses.
Though astronomers have long been able to predict eclipses by tracking the orbits of the sun and the moon, no such capability exists for earthquakes, nor is there any known correlation between the two phenomena. In the last 110 years or so, there have been about 85 really big earthquakes," Professor Kerry Sieh of Singapore's Earth Observatory explained in a statement to Channel News Asia in April 2009. "And only two of those occurred on the same day as an eclipse. And even those were a partial eclipse, not a total eclipse. They happened in a different place from where the eclipse happened." NASA's Dr. James Foster concurs: Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions do indeed occur at times of eclipses. But records show that they occur with no greater frequency or power than on days when full Moons or new Moons occur (without eclipses), when all the planets line up on the same side of the Sun or on days when the Moon is in a crescent or gibbous phase. As special as eclipses are, they simply don't have a known impact on any geophysical phenomena.
This is from the Earth observatory website in Singapore : The Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) has received several inquiries from the media and the general public about a rumour circulating in emails and blogs recently that a major tsunami triggered by a solar eclipse on July 22nd 2009 will devastate the southeast Asian region. EOS affirms that, to date, scientists have not found any significant correlation between solar eclipses and earthquakes. Since 1900, for example, of 82 earthquakes greater than magnitude 8 worldwide, only two occurred close to the time of a solar eclipse. However, these were not only partial eclipses but also far from the locations of the earthquakes. At present, no scientific methods or technologies exist that can pinpoint precisely the timing, location or magnitude of earthquakes.
Additionally, if you look closely at the supposed earthquake sites in the picture in the email below they are all located in the Pacific Ocean near Japan or China and it would therefore be extremely remote for there to be any significant impact on India.
PS: a message circulated to my friends on 29th May 2009 … now posted on the blog.

We start with the introductory meeting. In this conversation we ask important questions such as "what is the purpose of the website?" "What are your wishes?" And "who is the target group?". We think about the structure and design of the website. We brainstorm together about the possibilities. This phase is concluded with a quote.
Based on the wishes discussed in the introductory meeting, we work out and propose a number of ideas. We discuss this together with the customer to achieve a desired result together.
The first step in developing your website is the interaction design. With the help of wireframes, the processes and logic of the website are made clear. Based on this we can check whether there are no functionalities missing.
After the functionalities are known we can start with the graphic design of the website. From our experience we propose a number of things such as color use, image use and typography. After the customer has given us feedback on these matters, we can start designing.
Once the graphic design has been approved, we start building the website. The website is linked to our own CMS system that makes it easy to manage the website itself. In consultation, we can expand the CMS with more functionalities. The website is developed in an online test environment so that the customer can view the progress and provide feedback.
In the test environment, we can check whether all functionalities work properly and whether the design looks good on all devices. The customer receives log-in details to adjust texts and images themselves. We can solve any shortcomings here.
Then comes the most exciting moment, the website goes live! We transfer the website of the test environment to the domain name and visitors can now view and find the website in Google.
We are not ready yet after the website is online. We can offer assistance in managing the website and deliver periodic updates where necessary. Of course we are always ready for questions and possible adjustments of the website.

NBA notes: Warriors' Stephen Curry has strained groin, will miss Saturday's game
Stephen Curry has a mild to moderate left groin strain and will miss Golden State's home game against Brooklyn on Saturday night.
Curry underwent an MRI exam Friday but the Warriors will wait a few days to fully determine the severity of the injury. Coach Steve Kerr said it doesn't appear to be significant.
"This doesn't look like it's going to be a long-term injury. He's disappointed but it could have been a lot worse," Kerr said. "We'll just monitor his progress over the next several days."
The two-time NBA MVP was hurt midway through the third quarter of Thursday night's 134-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry grabbed at his inner thigh after trying to contest Eric Bledsoe's shot in transition at the 6:50 mark of the third.
The 30-year-old Curry has been averaging 29.5 points, 6.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 49.2 percent from three-point range.
Curry scored 10 points Thursday in his second consecutive game below 20 after getting at least 23 in every game previously — including five 30-point performances and a 51-point outing in three quarters. He dished out six assists in 26 minutes.
"He's a little bummed out," Kerr said.

Fellow All-Star Draymond Green also will miss Saturday's game, the second straight game that he'll be sidelined by a sprained right foot and toe.
Key reserve guard Shaun Livingston missed his sixth consecutive game and eighth in the last 10 because of a sore right foot, but was able to do some scrimmaging Friday. He will have to do that several times before Kerr is ready to put him back on the floor in a game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' injury list continues to grow with starting forward Cedi Osman the latest addition. Osman will miss Saturday's game at Chicago because of back spasms that forced him to leave Wednesday's loss to Orlando. Cleveland (1-10) is already without All-Star forward Kevin Love, point guard George Hill and backup forward Sam Dekker. …
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton is back on the practice court taking shots as he recovers from surgery to fix core and hip muscle injuries. There is no timetable for his return. Barton said Friday he's "getting stronger every day." The 27-year-old Barton was carted off the floor on Oct. 20 against Phoenix after he said he felt something pop when he took off for the basket. He had surgery days later.

Middle school teacher arrested for letting kids have sex in classroom
Tribune Media Wire
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- A teacher was fired from his job and charged with a crime after he was accused of allowing students to have sex in a classroom closet.
A parent discovered text messages between her 14-year-old son and middle school math teacher Quinton Wright.
"I was in a state of disbelief when I read all these messages," the parent, who asked to remain anonymous, told WSBTV. "Basically he's allowing the students to have sex in a storage room in his classroom."
The texts, according to the mother, indicated her son could have sex in the classroom from 7:30 to 8:30. In one text, the teacher asked the teenager if he told the girl what was going to happen and that she could not tell anyone. Another text indicated the teacher did not have condoms to provide.
"It's very sickening and disheartening because we trust administrators and educators when we drop our kids off at school," the mother said.
The mother pulled her 8th grader from school on Friday and then filed a complaint. The DeKalb School System later removed the 25-year-old teacher from the classroom.
A judge later issued a warrant for Wright's arrest on four misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Le film s'organise autour d'une sélection de lettres écrites entre 1924 et 1943 par des catholiques à l'abbé Jean Viollet, fondateur de l'Association du mariage chrétien et d'une revue consacrée aux « questionnements matrimoniaux » des chrétiens. Cent vingt de ces lettres ont été publiées en 2006 (voir Bibliographie).

Venant d'hommes et de femmes de divers milieux sociaux, souvent en grande souffrance psychologique, elles abordent diverses questions liées à la sexualité : ignorance de la physiologie, ignorance ou refus de l'acte sexuel, plaisir sexuel, possibilité d'être enceinte à la suite d'un baiser, masturbation, absence de contraception et familles pléthoriques, homosexualité, pulsions pédophiles. La dernière lettre lue dans le film est d'une grande ironie envers « Monsieur l'Abbé ».

FERPA helps protect the privacy of student education rights. The act provides three basic rights:
The right to inspect and review the education relating to the student maintained by the schools the student attends
The right to challenge and require the schools to amend any portion of the education records concerning the student that is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights
The right to require the school to obtain written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information, except in those instances specifically noted in the statute
The act applies to all institutions that are recipients of federal funding and administered by the Secretary of Education.
Who is protected under FERPA?
Students, who are currently or formerly enrolled in credit and non-credit classes, regardless of their age or status in regard to parental dependency, are protected.
FERPA does not apply to records of applicants for admission who are denied acceptance or, if accepted, do not attend GCC.
What are education records?
With certain exceptions, an education record is any record (1) from which a student can be personally identified and (2) is maintained by the college. Education records include any records maintained by the college except for 1) those in the sole possession of the maker and used as a memory maker and not shared with another person, 2) records of the law enforcement unit of the institution, subject to the provisions of section 99.8, 3) human resource related information, 4) medical treatment information, 5) information received after an individual is no longer a student, 6) grades on peer-graded papers before they are collected and recorded by the teacher.

President Rodrigo Duterte's Memorandum Order No. 32 calling for the deployment of additional government forces to Samar, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, and the Bicol Region is not a prelude to martial law, Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Oscar Albayalde said.
Contrary to claims of its critics, Albayalde said the President might have issued the memorandum after hearing reports of violence in these areas.
Albayalde specifically cited recent ambush incidents of PNP and the military personnel in the Bicol Region, the massacre of nine farmers in Sagay City, Negros Occidental, and the attack on a police station in Northern Samar by suspected members of the New People's Army.
"Nakita ng ating Presidente na siguro with the series of incidents doon sa mga regions na mga lugar na iyon, kailangang dagdagan 'yung ating pwersa doon. It has nothing to do with martial law," he said.
Albayalde said the additional troop deployment also aims to prevent terrorists from possibly infiltrating the areas.
He disclosed that he has already ordered the deployment of a company of the PNP-Special Action Force (SAF) to the Bicol Region and Samar. Meanwhile, the PNP will realign its existing personnel in Negros. Each company has around 127 to 132 personnel.


Treatment for hammertoes depends on the severity of the condition, but may include home remedies, anti-inflammatory medications, orthotics or surgery for severe cases. Surgery involves removing a small section of bone from the affected joint through a procedure called arthroplasty. Arthrodesis may also be performed to treat hammertoes, which involves fusing together one of the joints in the toe in order to keep it straight. This procedure requires the use of a metal pin to hold the toe in position while it heals.
There are several different diseases that affect the nails, often as a result of a fungal or bacterial infection. Ingrown toenails are the most common nail ailment, involving the corners of the nails digging into the surrounding soft tissue, causing irritation and swelling. Fungal infection commonly affect the toenails (and sometimes the fingernails as well), as a result of exposure to a warm, moist environment, and cause thick, brittle and distorted nails.
Treatment for nail diseases may include oral or topical medications. The nail may need to be removed for severe infections. Dr. Zarate will develop a customized treatment plan for you based on your individual condition. Patients can prevent nail conditions from developing by keeping the feet clean and dry, wearing shoes that fit well and clipping toenails straight across.

Transforming Audacious Speculations into Reality
Engineers who think like artists, physicists who thinks like dancers, scientists who think like poets, and designers who think like Mother Nature: These are some of the researchers from the University of California, San Diego on display at a public event on Friday, April 12 that will extol and explore the virtues of interdisciplinary collaboration and creativity. UC San Diego's Sixth College is staging the event, AUDACIOUS SPECULATIONS, between 6pm and 9pm on April 12, 2013. The presentations will take place on the UCSD campus in Atkinson Hall, the headquarters of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2).
The series of short, performative presentations will showcase how researchers, artists, activists and entrepreneurs can make "something from nothing" – transforming the titular "audacious speculations" into reality. For program details, visit the event website at http://audacious.calit2.net.
"This event is part of a broader program in which we are exploring the connections and productive tensions between realms of activity that are usually considered totally distinct," said Eliza Slavet, co-curator of the event and Director of Art & Technology for Sixth College's Academic Programs. "What we are really interested in is how not only artists, but rather all creative researchers (whether scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs or activists) engage in similar processes of moving from the realm of the speculative, fantastic and imaginary to the realm of material reality. By bringing together researchers who are pushing the envelope in these areas, we are seeking to understand the creative audacity that can lead to great leaps forward."
"Audacious Speculations highlights the excitement of radical innovation at UCSD," said Liz Losh, Director of Academic Programs at Sixth College. "This event demonstrates how the Culture, Art & Technology Program is fostering creativity and interdisciplinarity: Audacious Speculations brings together people working on cutting-edge research, audacious creativity, and curriculum design, producing an amazing experience which will inspire our students and the larger community."
The evening event will consist of 11 presentations on research that is so ambitious that people often roll their eyes in disbelief. Topics range from activist projects that transform the socio-political landscape, to scientific research and experiments that are both poetic and speculative. Documenting both existing and speculative work, the speakers will explore: movies for monkeys; a gestural language of physics; tracking trash in Tijuana; butterflies without borders; beautiful brains; biomimicry; hypnotic embodiment of wild foxes; smart underwear and biotattoos; silhouettes for the 21st century; a fashionable approach to science education; and a high-tech approach to finding your bliss.
"This promises to be one of the most eclectic and insightful meetings we have hosted here at UC San Diego," said Calit2 UCSD division director Ramesh Rao, who will present his own work on the use of wearable electronic sensors to monitor heart-rate variability – and train the body to reduce stress and even reach a state of bliss. "We have experimented with experts in yoga, and it's clear that the technology we are developing could become a powerful new tool for stress management." Rao is also a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of the UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering.
AUDACIOUS SPECULATIONS grew out of a new curriculum for Sixth College's Culture, Art & Technology program. The curriculum includes four interdisciplinary courses to be taught for the first time in Spring 2013. They include:
"Music & Utopia," taught by music professor Anthony Burr, who will look at the history of utopian projects, and how music has been often either excluded completely or placed at the center of the project. Students will work together to develop blueprints for their own utopian societies, including plans for citizenship, language, culture, and music.;
"Don't Look Now," with professor Joe Hankins, a sociocultural anthropologist, examining the intricate patterns through which humans interact with each other, and with animals, plants, and objects; as the students observe these patterns, they will also disturb these patterns;
"The New (Old) Connectivity," in which political science professor James Fowler will explore why, in order to understand the future of social networks (online and beyond), it's critical first to understand face-to-face networks as they have existed since our ancestors huddled around fires; and
"Disturbances: Art and Technology," with visual arts professor Ricardo Dominguez, an early pioneer in electronic civil disobedience, who will explore the creation of art works that have "created large-scale social and political responses that allow us to imagine what the future may look like."
Prof. Dominguez will co-emcee the evening program with history professor Cathy Gere. In addition to Calit2's Rao, the presenters include Jacopo Annese, a professor of radiology and director of The Brain Observatory at UC San Diego; Physics professor and observational astrophysicist Adam Burgasser; environmental advocate Oscar Romo; Harvey Mudd professor of media studies Rachel Mayeri; Visual Arts MFA candidates Hermione Spriggs and Heidi Kayser; Saura Naderi, who leads Calit2's MyLab outreach program; Materials Science and Engineering Ph.D. student Michael Porter, who develops materials inspired by those found in nature; and NanoEngineering postdoctoral researcher Joshua Windmiller from the Laboratory for NanoBioElectronics, where he develops printed biosensors, bioelectronics and biofuel cells.
Support for AUDACIOUS SPECULATIONS came from the UC San Diego Center for the Humanities, UC Institute for Research in the Arts (UCIRA), the Sixth College Parents' Fund, Calit2 and the gallery@calit2.
Images and ephemera from the program will be exhibited in the Sixth College's ARTifact Gallery. There will be an opening reception for the exhibition from 3pm to 5pm on April 12, prior to the event in Atkinson Hall. The gallery is located on the second floor of Pepper Canyon Hall. It is part of the Culture, Art & Technology Program of Sixth College.
The event and companion exhibit were curated by Emily Sevier and Eliza Slavet. AUDACIOUS SPECULATIONS was originally conceived by Slavet and co-emcee Cathy Gere. Twitter users are invited to follow tweets related to the event under the hashtag #AudSpec.

Will The Shift Towards JLL's HX Workplace Drive Industry Growth And Maturity?
JLL released today a research report that reveals working attitudes around the world. The research, titled Workplace Powered by Human Experience (HX) could signify a new era for workers and companies across the globe (and long-term opportunities for workspace operators).
Elam was right. It all comes down to us: humans.
Flexible workspace operators have long known that the workplace is more than just a place to work. In fact, in a call interview with Allwork, Dr. Puybaraud said that the workspace-as-a-service industry was one of the first to show this (the human experience in the workplace) shift in operations.
"We had the objective to decode what experience was about, we did not set out with human experience in mind. As we looked at what the responses were telling us, we decoded the user experience. Human experience has become crucial; all of our clients put HX as a key differentiator to attract and retail talent," Puybaraud said.
"Human experience is an impression an organization leaves on its people, beyond the physical environment, which results in greater engagement, professional empowerment, and a sense of fulfillment," the report reads.
The HX Workplace is, therefore, driven through 3 pillars: engagement, empowerment, and fulfillment.
The HX approach is about realizing that "a place of work is far more than a property. It is a living environment that helps individuals and businesses craft and experience a better fusion of life and work." Much of this experience is driven through kindness and trust, Puybaraud tells us.
The HX workplace, then, is a physical space where people will be driven to engage with one another, where they will feel empowered to make choices, and where these choices will lead to a sense of fulfillment.
"We need to design environments that are multi-purpose. I am a strong advocate of activity-based working, it's the most efficient way to work as it drives innovation and healthy collision." Yet at the same time, Puybaraud admits that there is no universal 'sweet spot' when it comes to workspace design. She does, however, admit that there is a ratio that she strongly believes in.
"I usually push our clients to dedicate 70% of their working environment to unassigned workstations (including meeting rooms, breakout areas, and cafes), and to only allow 30% of the environment to be dedicated. This balance, in my opinion, is good because it allows for a high level of flexibility where you 'force' people to run into each other, which is what often times drives innovation and creativity.
There are various advantages to the HX workplace. Yet, it is not going to be an easy task to make the switch.
If there is something workspace operators have focused on for several years now, it's creating communities and finding new ways to bring people together.
There is ample opportunity for cross-collaboration, both between internal departments of a company and also with flexible workspace operators. The question is whether operators are ready to provide the physical workspace and meet the demands of companies and to also manage it accordingly to their culture and the employees' needs.
Even if that question is settled, there remains another challenge to overcome.
If flexible workspace operators want to journey into the HX model, they will need to seriously think about their cash availability, the level of investment they're willing to make, and whether it's worth pursuing partnerships such as the one between WeWork and IBM.
In any case, the takeaway here is that there's opportunity and room for everyone to improve: companies, employees, and flexible workspace operators.
In an age of technology, of competition, and of globalization, the HX model is a reminder for us to be human.

The first news I read when I woke up was the passing of Mark Finlay. Unfortunately for me, like Ettore and Chema, I didn't know him personally or talked to him online, but I have kept up with his blog. I had respect for him. He seemed like a really good guy, something that is backed up by all the people praising him on Planet GNOME.
Good bye Mark. Thank you.
← Galago – Finally some progress!

The Shogi Foundation
The Shogi Foundation has been established in England by Tony Hosking (British & European Shogi Champion 2000), in order to help spread the playing of shogi (Japanese chess) world-wide. The original publication 'The Art Of Shogi' (1996) has been very well received - by not only amateur players, but also Japanese men and women professional players. As a result of this response, further publications continue to follow, especially through the very kind and vital help of First 7 Crowns professional title holder Yoshiharu Habu. The Shogi Foundation has at present 9 products on offer (8 books and a set), as shown on this page.

What Is Shogi ?
Shogi is a very popular traditional part of Japanese culture - with an estimated 20 million Japanese players or more !
Shogi and Western chess are very closely related - sharing the same winning objective of enforcing capture (checkmate) of the opponent's king, and some similar movement of pieces (kings, rooks, bishops, knights and pawns). However, one of the most distinctive and creative features of shogi is that all captured pieces immediately change sides (a reflection of change of allegiance in past warfare in Japan, when the rules of shogi were codified in the 17th century). All captured pieces become the capturing player's reserves or 'pieces in hand', which can be placed or 'dropped' back onto the board (instead of moving a piece already on the board). In shogi all the pieces are thus kept in play for the whole of the game, with capturing greatly increasing move possibilities.

September 1, 2017, PUBLISHED BY IN DANCE

It has been a blessing and honor to be King of the San Francisco Carnaval in 2017. I couldn't help but to fall in love with the Bay Area all over again. I cannot thank my community enough for their support, love, wisdom, food, hug, laughter and dancing!
It's not just dancing. It's the celebration of life. It's the celebration of our culture. It's the celebration of our different traditions. It's the celebration of color, it's celebration of the growth for our children and ourselves, it's the celebration for all those we lost and remember their name, it's the celebration of every battle we've lost and won, it's the celebration of our community.
No one is turned away or rejected. Tall, short, big, small, disabled, gay, straight, able bodied, weird and weirder. Hey, I'm Deaf.
While I've been a part of previous SF Carnaval celebrations I never thought I would be King one day. It's an honor to be the first Deaf King of Carnaval. They didn't vote for me just because I am Deaf. Last year I competed and won 4th place. Nevertheless I decided to try again and didn't give up. I trained for a whole year to get ready to compete. I asked for great music from DJ Lamar, I practiced and I won first place. That's proof that the community chose me because I believe in what I do.
Someone asked me what does the King of Carnaval do? Carnaval King/Queen duties include to act as ambassadors, perform at SF Giants Carnaval night, Carnaval VIP Party at Calle-11, meet and greet at Cha Cha Cha – Mission, dance at Bissop Baobap, promote Carnaval during an in camera interview with CBS, perform in stage shows and last represent Carnaval in the Grande Parade on our own float. However I must add, I do so much more than this. I represent my community and I outreach to find ways to support and highlight our cultural diversities.
Queen Tiombe [Valone] would like to add:
"From preparing to compete and winning the crown, to fulfilling my duties as queen, to preparing to perform during and after the grand parade, my experience has been one I wouldn't trade for the world, it's been wonderful. The support of my family, friends and the community has held my heart and touched my soul.
April 15, 2017 I was crowned Carnaval SF Queen. It has been a whirlwind. All the experiences I had were positive. Getting to know more people from the community, various comparsas and the staff and volunteers of Carnaval SF has truly been the highlight. There is nothing like walking onto the field at Pacbell Park to dance.
The King is very handsome caring man. I love spending time with him."
I have to admit that I forgot about the night life associated with Carnaval SF and these people party all night. The Grand Parade was spectacular. The streets were full of colorful people from all ages. Dancing, singing, over 100 comparsas in the parade and over 100 performances on stage. The music was Latin, Afro, Brazilian and more. Color everywhere, smiles everywhere, booty shaking everywhere! Me and Queen Tiombe will never forget this time. Next year will be the 40th Carnaval in San Francisco. As 39th King, my Queen and I invite you to come to the 40th Carnaval. If you plan to compete, you better work it and dance with your heart.
Thank you Oakland Carnaval for inviting me to be a part of your Carnaval by leading your parade and performing on stage as SF King Carnaval. To SF Carnaval for allowing me to be your King, and thank you all for the amazing love and dancing with me. Be safe and baile!
