Allele-Specific Transcriptome and Methylome Analysis Reveals Stable Inheritance and Cis-Regulation of DNA Methylation in Nasonia
Wang, X.; Werren, J.H.; Clark, A.G.
Plos Biology 14(7): E1002500
Gene expression divergence between closely related species could be attributed to both cis- and trans- DNA sequence changes during evolution, but it is unclear how the evolutionary dynamics of epigenetic marks are regulated. In eutherian mammals, biparental DNA methylation marks are erased and reset during gametogenesis, resulting in paternal or maternal imprints, which lead to genomic imprinting. Whether DNA methylation reprogramming exists in insects is not known. Wasps of the genus Nasonia are non-social parasitoids that are emerging as a model for studies of epigenetic processes in insects. In this study, we quantified allele-specific expression and methylation genome-wide in Nasonia vitripennis and Nasonia giraulti and their reciprocal F1 hybrids. No parent-of-origin effect in allelic expression was found for >8,000 covered genes, suggesting a lack of genomic imprinting in adult Nasonia. As we expected, both significant cis- and trans- effects are responsible for the expression divergence between N. vitripennis and N. giraulti. Surprisingly, all 178 differentially methylated genes are also differentially methylated between the two alleles in F1 hybrid offspring, recapitulating the parental methylation status with nearly 100% fidelity, indicating the presence of strong cis-elements driving the target of gene body methylation. In addition, we discovered that total and allele-specific expression are positively correlated with allele-specific methylation in a subset of the differentially methylated genes. The 100% cis-regulation in F1 hybrids suggests the methylation machinery is conserved and DNA methylation is targeted by cis features in Nasonia. The lack of genomic imprinting and parent-of-origin differentially methylated regions in Nasonia, together with the stable inheritance of methylation status between generations, suggests either a cis-regulatory motif for methylation at the DNA level or highly stable inheritance of an epigenetic signal in Nasonia.

The church is a small structure, picturesquely situated by the road side among woods and fields. It was originally constructed as a Mission Room as a result of a legacy from Samuel Charlesworth, Rector of Limpsfield from 1857-70. It was consecrated as a church in 1930. It underwent change in 1976 when part of the building was remodelled to provide living accommodation for the priest caring for this remote part of the parish.
St Silvan's Staffhurst Wood was a licensed place of worship built in 1898, as the daughter church of St Peter's Limpsfield, to serve the many people who then lived nearby in the farming community. For many years a retired priest lived there and took the services at Silvan's. Sadly he died in 2011 and since then, the services have been taken by the clergy of the Limpsfield and Tatsfield Team Ministry. The building itself is in need of some work in the coming years.

Are you excited? It's now just over a week until we first see our Men in Green take the field in the Asian Cup and an extra few days before the 2012 Chinese Super League season kicks off. We don't know what will come after the opening match on March 10, but at least we know that one will be on the road to Guangzhou Fuli.
This year the team is considerably more stable than it was going into last season, when second seemed too good to be true, expectations are high, but the following are the most important five questions the team faces during the 2012 season.
1. How will Jaime Pacheco handle his sophomore season?
Pacheco took a side that looked like a mid table team with a lot of problems and turned them into a contender for the league title. He had a tough task last year, coming in late and setting up the side, now he's gone through a season and had the entire offseason. Plus, Guoan management has supposedly given him complete control of the roster. There may not have been much pressure on him last season, but this year it's going to be a different story. The club will be looking to qualify for Asia again, a solid ACL performance, and a good cup run. Hopefully a better understanding of how the Chinese Super League operates will mean that Pacheco spends more time on the bench and less in the stands, last year he was suspended for almost half the season after a variety of incidents. The pressure is on, but Pacheco should have no problem handling it.
2. How will the goalie situation play out?
There has been one constant for Guoan over the last few seasons, Yang Zhi has been in net. The games he hasn't appeared in over the last three seasons can be counted on a single hand, so it's going to jar the system a little that he is unlikely to feature so often in 2012. An injury in a charity tournament in Guangzhou will keep him out for the first month of the season and kept him from being added to the club's Asian Champions League roster. There has long been a belief that backups Hou Sen and Zhang Sipeng were more than capable and could be future stars, but remaining behind Yang Zhi has meant the pair is slowly getting older without getting a shot to play. After Hou was injured in training last month, the need for another goalie was all the more apparent, the club brought in another keeper, Bai Xiaolei, from Nanchang Hengyuan. Unlike the Guoan pair, Bai has over 30 Chinese Super League matches under his belt, but mostly split time in Nanchang. It's now looking more likely that Yang will stay in Beijing for the 2012 season and once he's healthy he is sure to start, though the club will start needing to groom his successor. How Pacheco handles the situation and how the trio of Bai, Zhang, and Hou perform will have a major influence on the season.
3. What can we expect from Andrija Kaluderovic and the other new foreigners?
When Joel Griffiths and Walter Martinez left Guoan, they lost a pair who were responsible for nearly 20 goals. Expectations are high for Kaluderovic, or AK25, to come in and shine this season and the potential is there for him to be the best foreign signing of the 2012 offseason (and that includes Shenhua's signing of a famous Frenchman). How he and Reinaldo work together is going to be a crucial factor in Guoan's success in the upcoming season as the club is going to need the pair to score. Manu is likely to be a super sub type coming off the bench and could be a speedy threat on the wing. He's also the one I'd be most nervous about adjusting to China as AK25 will benefit from having Darko Matic serve as a mentor (and even translator), while Reinaldo has spent time in Asia and moved around enough that he should be fine in Beijing.
4. Will the team's killer instinct and away form return?
Despite a surprising second place finish last season, Guoan still managed to frustrate fans by showing so much promise early and then falling short in the later months of the season. Having played 30 matches, the team failed to come from behind and win a match in 2011 while they gave up late goals to give the other team a tie or win in five matches. The club's 7 draws and 3 losses on the road also added to the disappointment of what could have been in 2011. If Guoan has serious title ambitions in 2012, they are going to need to solve their road woes in the new season. Pacheco being such an energetic figure, perhaps having him on the bench instead of in the stands will help push his players to better performances. This killer instinct late in the game is something Lee Jang-Soo instilled in his Guoan sides and is what helped Evergrande to the 2011 title, hopefully Pacheco, known as an intense competitor can help bring that knockout punch back to the capital.
4. How will Mao Jianqing fit in?
Guoan is a Beijing team through and through, and that extends to its players, with a number of the players coming from Beijing. Those who aren't Beijing natives are almost always northerners, Yang Zhi the one major exception. Mao, the first native Shanghainese to play for Guoan, will be expected to step in and fill Walter Martinez's role from last year, creating off the wing. From the start it never really seemed Mao was overjoyed by coming to Beijing and he's had a hard time fitting in so far. He's sure to be a key part of Guoan's plans during the 2012 season, so how well they can incorporate him into the team is going to be important for the side's success.
Bonus Question: Will Zhang Xizhe be able to break the curse of the #10 shirt?

In most case, registry problem is the reason to blame for this error. Registry is the most critical component of Windows that stores every data and configuration of your computer, every hardware/software needs to connect to registry to function properly. However, the everyday regular use of computer will keep creating wasted/invalid/obsolete that could dilate the registry and cause registry malfunction eventually, this could lead to system slowness and various system error including the x-dvd-audio-ripper.exe error.
You will be presented a list of restore points that you created before, select one of them which you believe is previous to the happen of x-dvd-audio-ripper.exe error.
If you found x-dvd-audio-ripper.exe is not missing, but located in a strange place other than the above mentioned location, or you found multiple of this file in your computer, that may indicates your system is suffering from spyware infection, and that is one of the possible causes of this dll error.
Registry issues and problems are common causes for many DLL/EXE errors on Windows system, as a central database of the computer, System Registry contains too many important data, taking good care of them will avoid many annoying and serious problems on your PC. So taking a registry error fixer to fix x-dvd-audio-ripper.exe error and other issues will be very helpful for you.

McCorley welcomes commitment on Casement Park funding
19 January, 2015 - by Rosie McCorley
Sinn Féin MLA Rosie McCorley has welcomed an announcement by the finance minister that funding will be available for the redevelopment of Casement Park.
The West Belfast MLA said;
"I asked the finance minister to clarify the situation regarding funding for the redevelopment of Casement Park.
"The minister confirmed that even though funding had to be returned when the development was stalled that resources will be available for the Casement redevelopment in the next funding round.
"This is a welcome announcement. It follows comments from the Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, Carál Ní Chuilín, that the redevelopment of Casement remains a Programme for Government commitment.
"The potential of a multi-million pound new GAA stadium would be a great boost to the local area and I look forward to its redevelopment."


Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. PETROGRAD, Nov. 11, (Dispatch to The London Morning Post.)-- Refugees who have arrived here from Constantinople report that the state of things there and in Turkey generally appalling.
Brigandage, murder, and atrocities are committed. Armenians being the chief-victims, but all Christians and foreigners are in great danger. One refugee, a Greek tells me he ran away to escape forced military service, leaving his wife and mother behind. According to his account Turkish authorities are forcing every man possible into the rank of the army.
The fighting on Saturday Sunday at Koprikos was not renewed on Monday, but the day was spent in a vigorous artillery duel, apparently without result. In the meantime Russian columns are marching up in two directions to reinforce each other for an attack on Erzerum.
Several strategic points of the utmost importance are already in the hands of the Russians.

The Kiss Quotient
2½ Stars
Author: Helen Hoang
Review by: Kyraninse
* Contemporary
Debut Title
I finished "The Kiss Quotient" because I was determined that this review be done on a fully finished book rather than a DNF, however if given my druthers, I would've stopped short less than halfway through.
To be clear, I had reservations going in. The setup of the POC hero as the Pretty Woman worried me and the way the blurb went made me worry about colonizer thoughts, plus I was concerned about how Stella's neurodiversity would be handled.
Unfortunately, all of my worst fears were realized.
Not only were my worries about the whole POC guy as Pretty Woman realized, but there was Othering going on (deliberate singling out of POC), and the power differentials were troubling. The heroine has a lot of privilege and it's just sort of tossed around without really addressing the issues inherent in paying for an escort. It's an Own Voices book, but I personally felt very uncomfortable with the "use" of aspects of Stella's autism in the book. It felt like certain things were played up, other things were conveniently elided, particularly when it "suited" the plot. To clarify, I'm not saying the author Did It Wrong, but that if I weren't informed that it was an own voices book, I would not have been able to give the author the benefit of the doubt re: good faith. The heroine clearly has boundary issues and requires other people to respect her boundaries and I was troubled that she didn't seem to always extend this courtesy to the hero. In part perhaps due to Plot Reasons, but it was unsettling, combined with the power imbalance issues. The intersectional issues between Michael being POC and an escort she's paying for weren't dealt with sufficiently for my peace of mind. The writing was good, the sex very hot, the dirty talk on point, and S&M were very sweet together when they were allowed to be, but I couldn't get past the baggage.
Book Blurb for The Kiss Quotient
A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases--a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice--with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan--from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but crave all of the other things he's making her feel. Their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...

Why is "A Nation Divided" in this headline instead of "A Divided Nation"?
I wonder why "A Nation Divided" is in this headline instead of "A Divided Nation". To me, from how I am taught, isn't an adjective supposed to go before the noun? I am not a native speaker.
grammar adjectives word-order adjective-position
Jared HuangJared Huang
Related: Why do some adjectives follow the nouns they modify? – sumelic Apr 30 '17 at 2:15
The simplified rule that adjectives go before the noun will keep you out of trouble most of the time, but it has many exceptions. – Xanne Apr 30 '17 at 5:36
It's an allusion to a very famous speech by Abraham Lincoln, which included the line:
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free.
As you see, in Lincoln's speech divided is accompanied by a following complement, against itself. A modifier which itself has a following modifier or complement cannot be placed in front of the head noun, but must be placed after it.
Lincoln's speech was itself an allusion to a Bible verse, and the use of phrases containing the words "a nation divided" existed prior to the Gettysburg address (1863): see books.google.com/…, books.google.com/… – sumelic Apr 30 '17 at 2:14
@sumelic true, but this is still a good answer because CBS morning news wouldn't be using that phrase if it weren't for Lincoln – RaceYouAnytime Apr 30 '17 at 4:05
@RaceYouAnytime Evidence for that assertion? You may as well say that Lincoln wouldn't have used it if it hadn't been for the Bible. It doesn't really mean anything. – user207421 Apr 30 '17 at 5:00
@EJP I don't have direct evidence of why CBS really does anything, but the phrase "a house divided against itself" is well-known or at least has been heard by most people who grew up in the U.S. in an American history context. They would be less likely to have read it in the Bible. Then a news station uses the structure in a piece about division in U.S. politics, with direct reference to the presidency. Keep in mind the producers or copywriters who would have written that would be much more interested in American history than Biblical trivia. – RaceYouAnytime Apr 30 '17 at 5:07
For reference, it's in Matthew 12:25: "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:" And Mark 3:25: "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." (KJV translation.) Interestingly, in context, the "house" in question is Satan's house. – Nate Eldredge May 1 '17 at 0:58
The adjective preceding the noun is a general rule of English; however, it is not the only location. It is possible to emphasize (some) adjectives by placing the after the noun. Example: "A tiger, large and menacing, crept through the jungle." The alternate sentence, "A large and menacing tiger crept through the jungle," doesn't emphasize the qualities of being large or menacing.
ttwttw
But there is more about this. Neither A tiger large crept through the jungle nor A tiger menacing crept through the jungle would be acceptable, yet a nation divided is. I suspect that your sentence is rather an example of a parenthetic expression than a post-posed adjective. – Schmuddi Apr 30 '17 at 18:02
If I were to write the above 'unacceptable' examples as poetry, it would be fine because the enjambment is cool and, well, poetic license rules: "A tiger large / crept through / the jungle green." – IconDaemon May 1 '17 at 14:28
The poetry example is good, but it requires that both "tiger large" and "jungle green." The reverse "large tiger" and "green jungle" is possible but merely descriptive rather than evocative. A "tiger larger" would not match well with "green jungle" (but not wrong, just not very stylish) as would the "large tiger" and "jungle green" also. – ttw May 1 '17 at 16:17
If StoneyB is right about the inspiration being Lincoln's "A house divided against itself cannot stand" quote, then divided isn't a regular adjective, but rather the start of an adjectival phrase (or possibly an gerund phrase, depending on exactly how it's read). "A house (that is) divided against itself cannot stand." And in that case, we need neither commas nor parentheses, as we do in "a tiger, large and menacing". In "A Nation Divided", the rest of the phrase is dropped, but the order (necessary in the original, odd here) remains. – Ray May 2 '17 at 1:45
Those two headlines give me different expectations for what the content will be about.
A Nation Divided I expect to tell me about the process leading to the division, but not necessarily what the end result will look like.
A Divided Nation I expect to tell me about the state of this divided nation, but not necessarily how it got there.
It is of course possible that the content will cover both the process and the end result, since they are obviously related, in which case I would find either headline to be suitable.

There are some adjectives that follow the noun in English. But in this case, haven't we just got a hidden relative clause. "A nation [that is] divided." Similarly with Lincoln "A house [that is] divided against itself cannot stand."

I don't know that it is so much ellipsis as it is emphasis. I could be wrong, however. – Dog Lover Apr 30 '17 at 23:12
I feel like that just moves the location of the issue: if this is the proper analysis, why is it that "a nation that is divided" is commonly simplified to "a nation divided" but e.g. "a nation that is diverse" is not commonly simplified to "a nation diverse"? – sumelic May 1 '17 at 2:39
This is really the best answer. Other answers may approach things from a more academic direction, but this does a better job of actually explaining it in a clear and practical way. – Panzercrisis May 1 '17 at 14:15
Since 'Divided' can either be a verb in past participle form (as used in passive clauses) or an adjective (quote from @bdsl - thanks for clarifying the distinction for me in the comments below), my impression is that "A Nation Divided", with the emphasis on the "Divided", might be referring to the verb form - the action of having been divided - more of an emphasis on the action and less on the object of the division - and with connotations of a temporary state or divided with regards to a certain issue or a division that has happened recently, whereas "A Divided Nation" sounds like the adjective form and would seem to be projecting the idea of some kind of permanence, irreconcilability or essence.

When you say 'active' and 'passive', it seams like you mean 'verb' and 'adjective'. 'Divided' can either be a verb in past participle form (as used in passive clauses) or an adjective. – bdsl May 1 '17 at 9:55
You are correct. I need to edit my answer. – nzn May 1 '17 at 10:11
I am no expert on English, but here are my (informal) thoughts:
It is typical of the media or the news agencies to twist sentences to get catchy titles.
A Divided Nation: The whole thing put together is a phrase that behaves like a Noun. The emphasis is on the nation, and the word divided is a qualifier for the same.
A Nation Divided: The whole thing put together is sort of a sentence by itself. There is a object and a verb. And the emphasis is on the division that happened.
If you want a news article, then the second thing makes more sense. You are willing to report an event, not describe the nation.
Agnishom ChattopadhyayAgnishom Chattopadhyay
Isn't Nation in the second sentence an object rather than a subject? It seems to me like a passive clause, which could have 'by' added to it, e.g. 'A Nation Divided by some serious disagremeents'. – bdsl May 1 '17 at 9:53
@bdsl okay agreed. I edited my answer – Agnishom Chattopadhyay May 2 '17 at 1:24
I think the answer is that "A Nation Divided" uses the past participle form of the verb "to divide," implying an actor or force that is responsible for the division (e.g. "A Nation Divided by Ideology"). This grammar form is somewhat archaic, and can certainly be found in the King James Bible as well as Shakespeare ("A house divided"). Converting "Divided" to an adjective placed in front of "Nation" reduces the amount and type of information the headline conveys.
This is also a great example that news headlines aren't really governed by the same grammatical rules as is typical written English.

Expert Advice: Responding to patient panic about the Coronavirus
Aine Cryts
Educating patients starts with alleviating their concerns. Part of that is educating them about reliable sources of information.
Ask patients open-ended questions when they call the physician practice panicked about the novel coronavirus. That's the first piece of advice from Stephen Benning, PhD, professor of psychology at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "As clinicians, we have all kinds of questions that might panic people, but it's up to the patient as to what's actually bothering them," he counsels.
For example, some patients may be worried about having COVID-19, the infectious disease, whereas others are concerned about their parents or other family members contracting the virus. Still, other people may be concerned about losing their job due to governmental efforts to prevent increased community spread of the virus.
His point? "If we, as clinicians, don't ask open-ended questions, our answers may not be applicable," says Benning.
Trending: Coronavirus threatens medical practice solvency
Provide accurate information about COVID-19 testing
Tista Ghosh, MD, MPH, an epidemiologist and senior director of impact evaluation at San Francisco-based Grand Rounds, points out that many patients call physician practices because they want to get tested for the virus. Updated information about COVID-19 testing should be provided to the person responsible for answering the practice's phone, she says.
In addition, the practice should record testing information on its pre-recorded message that greets patients when they call, says Ghosh, who previously served as Colorado's director of public health and chief medical officer.
Be honest and comforting
Physician practices should communicate the accurate, current information they have about the coronavirus, says Simon Rego, PsyD, chief of psychology at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, N.Y.
For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the elderly are at higher risk for severe illness with the coronavirus. In fact, the federal agency reports that 8 out of 10 deaths in the United States due to the virus occurred among adults 65 years of age and older. CDC also says that the elderly and people of any age with serious medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease, may be at higher risk for serious complications.
In addition, the CDC revealed that 38% of people sick enough to require hospitalization due to the virus were under the age of 55.
The most important thing is to provide patients with reliable information, says Rego. He points specifically to the World Health Organization and the CDC, which are constantly updating their resources and offering guidelines on hygiene practices and travel alerts.
"Educating the patient starts with alleviating their concerns. Part of that is educating them about reliable sources of information," he adds. State and local health departments are additional sources of reliable information, says Rose Willis, JD, an attorney with Detroit-based law firm Dickinson Wright, where she advises physician practice and hospital clients.
Read More: Coding during the Coronavirus pandemic
Paul Gionfriddo, president and CEO of Mental Health America, advised in a statement that healthcare providers should do the following:
Screen all patients for anxiety at both sick- and well-care visits.
Take extra time with patients to assess the need for more intensive mental-health treatment that they receive right away. He stressed that mental-health effects, if untreated, could last for weeks or months and return unexpectedly.
Manage healthcare capacity to enable responses to mental health crises as they arise during the next weeks and months.
Refer patients to a variety of informational and support resources for mental-health follow-up. He also counselled against giving up if no clinicians are immediately available to take a referral. Peer support services are available from his organization's affiliates, in addition to local advocates across the country who can provide clinical- and non-clinical support services.
Benning says the person answering the practice's phone should tell patients when they should expect to get a call back, if their concern can't be addressed during the initial phone call. That time period should allow the team member to consult with a clinician. Communicating a timeline can help alleviate some uncertainty for patients, he explains.
Don't get ahead of the science
Bill Hopkins, JD, healthcare partner in the Austin, Texas office of law firm Shackelford, Bowen, McKinley, and Norton, agrees that patients are looking for reassurance and comfort. "While that sounds nice and wonderful to the average person, from a clinical and liability standpoint, that is where the trouble areas are for healthcare providers," he explains.
Being reassuring and comforting is easier when a clinical condition is known and predictable, but healthcare providers don't have this level of information about the coronavirus, points out Hopkins. Specifically, "overzealous words of reassurance and comfort can come back to haunt a healthcare provider if their compassion allows them to provide a false sense of security to [a] patient that isn't backed in anything other than a desire to get the patient to stop panicking and calm down," he advises.
If the information provided by the physician practice later turns out to be inaccurate or not backed up by clinical information, the patient could come after the practice for being negligent in providing that information, regardless of the intent to calm the patient, says Hopkins.
"Ultimately, healthcare providers should always err on the side of providing factual and clinical information, as well as compassion for the fear that the patient is feeling, but should always refrain from 'going too far' or 'beyond the science' in making promises or predictions that they can't keep and could be accountable for if they're wrong and didn't have a clinical basis for the statements," he says.
Align resources appropriately
The practice administrator must plan staffing for answering the phone and ensuring the environmental cleanliness of the practice, says Ghosh, a former member of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which provides science-based recommendations to improve population health.
It may be appropriate to invest in a virtual-call provider that can respond to patient calls, she adds. Physician practices that are part of large health networks can also inquire about tapping into their call-center resources.
Willis recommends providing a checklist to the person who answers the practice's phone line. "Front desk people can't practice medicine. They may have to refer the patient to a provider... make sure they're having an appropriate dialog about the situation, not the medical piece."
Coronavirus Response: Doctors can now practice across state lines
Regarding the cleanliness of the practice, Ghosh says it's important to ensure that the waiting rooms and exams are cleaned frequently. Top of mind should be wiping clean doorknobs, touchpads provided to patients, desk surfaces, and TV remote controls in the waiting room.
Promote virtual care; update practice's website
Physician practices can use social media to educate patients about telehealth visits, which can reduce the strain on emergency rooms and physician practices, according to Patric Wiesmann, managing director and general manager of Reputation.com's healthcare and life sciences division.
Patients experiencing anxiety may never call the practice. That's why it's important to update individual clinician's webpages and the practice's website to include information about telehealth options, he advises.
Protocols developed by the CDC and other governmental entities continue to be updated. Thus, Weismann advises practices to add an emergency response message to the top of their websites and individual provider pages with important updates and information about the virus.

Category: context with regard to erotic romance
Writing Erotic Romance: It's All About The Context
I've been thinking a lot about writing this post ever since I received a nasty comment from an anonymous troll a few weeks ago. I'd just announced the release of The Virgin Billionaire and the Evil Twin, and someone left a comment that went like this: "You actually named him after a pornster?"
Yes. "Pornster" was the exact word this idiot used, and not in a positive context either. I'll comment briefly on this "pornster" reference for a second, and then go into the post. The adult entertainment industry is now a billion dollar industry, which means someone's looking at it, reading it, and buying it. No one admits to it. But obviously someone is doing it.
With that said, the main theme of this post is context with regard to erotic romance. The character in Virgin Billionaire and Evil Twin, Gage Weston (Luis's twin brother), changed his name (just like Luis) when he moved to New York and reinvented himself. Gage was stuck at home, caring for elderly parents in Tennessee, watching them wither away and die. He wasn't openly gay in Tennessee, he had no social life, and he fulfilled his obligations and put his own needs aside until his parents passed away and he was free to leave. They were already devastated enough because one of their sons, Luis, was gay, if Gage had admitted he was gay it would have killed them even sooner. And I wanted Gage to have strength of character, and yet I wanted him to appear slightly innocent, too. Which is why I named him Gage Weston. I did it with an almost satirical concept. Gage, who knows nothing about social rights or wrongs, who knows nothing about New York, thinks the name is perfect.
Unlike what the troll who commented about Gage Weston being named after a "pornster" thought, my movtivation behind his name had nothing to do with porn, porn stars, or the porn industry. It had to do with innocence, life-change, and learning how to survive in New York alone as a gay man. He wanted to reinvent himself as someone exciting, slightly dangerous, and he wanted a name that was nothing like Eddie.
In the wrong context, I can see how anyone would assume he's named after a pornster. But that's why making assumptions without reading a book can be dangerous. Assumptions are usually wrong. And people who assume without knowing facts, are usually either dumb or one card shy of a full deck.
No author I know does anything by accident. At least I don't. Trust me, even when it might look like an accident, it's on purpose. We spend much too much time figuring out our characters so no one can make stupid comments about them. If a character is named after a "pornster" then nine times out of ten the author has a valid reason for doing this. And this, once again, is one of the most important things when it comes to writing erotic romance: context, context, context. Anything taken out of context can be viewed in a different way. Just look at Anthony Weiner and his debacle. If he'd been sending those photos as a joke, it would have shed a completely different light on his situation. He would have been embarrassed, but no one would have been calling for his resignation. But because he was allegedly sending them to strange women, it become an entirely different game.
And it's no different in erotic romance. For some, erotic romance is all about the emotion. I agree. Erotic romance is about emotion…to a certain extent. I do think that when some reviewers slam good erotic romances for lack of emotion it's just an excuse to make them look good while writing a bad review. Like authors, they always know what they are doing. But it's bullshit and they know it…or it's a private matter they need to discuss with their personal therapists. For most, erotic romance is about escapism and fantasy, which has never hurt anyone. And if a character name, or a scene, is taken out of context by someone who assumes without knowing facts, it becomes something completely different.
It's happened to me more than once. This incident with the troll is one of many I've experienced in the past twenty years. And I'm sure it will happen again. I'm also sure it's going to happen to other authors who are reading this blog post right now. And the only way to be sure you're getting it right is to think about the context with which a scene or character is written. And to think about your readers and to know what they want. In the end, only one thing matters: knowing you, as the author, got the context right for your readers.


These include the Re Zoom™ Lens Implant (IOL), the Acry Sof® Re STOR® Lens Implant (IOL), the Tecnis® Multifocal (IOL) and the Crystalens® Lens Implant (IOL).Each of these Lens Implants or Intraocular Lenses (IOL) works in a different way to help you achieve your vision correction goals of being able to see at a variety of distances after Cataract Surgery-without being dependent on eyeglasses, bifocals or reading glasses.These zonules attach at the equator of the lens like trampoline springs and attach the lens to the surrounding ciliary body.
In addition, their staff will then spend the time necessary to review the everyday activities that are most important to you-and whether being independent of glasses for those activities is something that you would like to achieve.
Multifocal Lens Implants that are Near Vision Presbyopia Correcting IOL's provide excellent vision after Cataract Surgery at the full range of distances- far or distance vision, arms length or intermediate vision and up close near vision.
Depending on your specific vision requirements, there are different types of presbyopia correcting lens implants that may be selected.
Cataract surgery is our signature operation, so it's worthwhile to familiarize yourself with basic lens anatomy and surgical goals.
The eye is the most amazing organ in the human body, and the lens is one of the most impressive structures within it!
Thus, there is an outer capsule like a "hard candy shell" that surrounds the lens.

La Salle prof brings St. Augustine's classic biography into English
Frederick Van Fleteren
By Lou Baldwin • Posted September 19, 2013
It has taken more than 20 years, (or more than 300 years, if you look at it that way), but La Salle University professor and St. Augustine scholar Frederick Van Fleteren is nearing completion of the first full translation to English of a 17th-century classic biography of Augustine of Hippo, "La Vie de Saint Augustin," written by Louis Sebastian, le Nain de Tillemont (1637-1700).
Tillemont was one of the most prolific writers of ecclesiastical history in his day and is especially noted for his fidelity to accuracy. His work on St. Augustine is volume 13 of a 16-volume history of the Church during its first six centuries. His devotion of a full volume to St. Augustine is a tribute to the saint's importance in the early Church, an importance that has continued down through the centuries.
Condensing Augustine to one volume was no easy task for Tillemont, because as Van Fleteren notes, St. Augustine wrote almost six million words that had to be considered.
"The project of translating this work, 'La Vie de Saint Augustin,' was necessary for the English-speaking, as well as other scholars of Augustine," Van Fleteren said. "It is by far the most comprehensive and intensive biography of Augustine ever written. Modern French scholarship on St. Augustine goes back to him."
Although much has been written about St. Augustine, Tillemont's biography has stood the test of time, and even though some minor writings of Augustine have been discovered in more recent years, they really just reinforce what was stated in Tillemont's biography, Van Fleteren said.
Van Fleteren's interest in Augustine was whetted when this great Doctor of the Church was the subject of his master's thesis at Villanova University. That was followed by three years studying at the University of Ireland, University College of Dublin, under John O'Meara, who was then considered the greatest Augustine scholar in the English-speaking world.
At first Van Fleteren was one of four scholars who in 1991 mutually agreed to undertake the English translation of the 17th-century work, but death, illness and advanced age took its toll on the others and ultimately the work was left to him alone.
Part of the difficulty was fitting this important and time-consuming project into a very busy schedule and also in obtaining an available first edition copy of the 1,200-page biography and commentary penned by Tillemont.
Finally a copy was found at the University of Salzburg, Austria. This was photocopied and became the basis for Van Fleteren's translation of the St. Augustine volume into English in three volumes of approximately 400 pages each. To call it a translation is an over-simplification, because Van Fleteren includes an introduction, commentary and annotations throughout.
"The challenge was translating 17th-century French into 21st-century English," Van Fleteren said.
Printed by Peter Lang Publishing, "The Life of St. Augustine; volume one, Childhood to Episcopal Consecration (354-396)," was released in 2010. Volume two, "The Donatist Controversy (396-411)," was released in 2012 and covers the years Augustine wrote in opposition to Donatism, a schismatic movement in Christian Africa.
The final volume, "The Pelagian Crisis (411-30)," covers Augustine's writings against Pelagianism, a heresy that rejected the role of God's grace in redemption, asserting instead man's redemption came through his own free-will choices. This volume is set for release in 2014.
Why no one has previously undertaken the English translation of so important a biography is difficult to say. It may well be because Tillemont himself was somewhat controversial in spite of the recognition of his impeccable scholarship.
He was a member of the French aristocracy who came to the priesthood relatively late in life and for the last two decades of his life lived and wrote in seclusion at his family's Tillemont estate.
He was also a Jansenist, a member of an austere reform movement in the Church based on the writing of 16th century Bishop Cornelius Jansen. Published after Jansen's death, his writings among other things suggested a form of predestination — that only the previously selected receive the grace for salvation — and he based this in part on certain quotes from Augustine, made during his refutation of Pelagianism.
The Church maintains this is a misinterpretation of what Augustine said. This teaching was condemned by the popes on the grounds that all people could receive the grace for salvation, not just a pre-selected few.
Tillemont never accepted the condemnation of these teachings, which some sources suggest was the reason for his retirement, although Van Fleteren attributes his retreat to the family estate to his reclusive nature.
At any rate, Jansen himself had acknowledged papal supremacy, and directed that anything in his writings which the papacy believed was in error should be stricken from his text, something his publishers ignored after his death.
"It is a delicate question what Augustine thought, but I think Jansen held something different. He did not understand Augustine correctly," Van Fleteren said.
Jansenism does have some effect on Tillemont's commentary in volume three, but on the whole, in his own words, Van Fleteren notes, "he does not speak about theology, but the historical events as they took place."

Brewers may be catching a break facing Scherzer
September 30, 2019 woelfelk 0 Guest Post,
On the surface, the Milwaukee Brewers will be facing a daunting challenge when they play the Washington Nationals in a National League wild-card playoff game on Tuesday night.
After all, the Brewers will be facing one of the greatest pitchers in the last decade in Nationals starter Max Scherzer. The 35-year-old Scherzer boasts an amazing resume as a seven-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young Award recipient.
While Scherzer hasn't been the lights-out pitcher this season as he has been in the past with the Nationals, he's nevertheless been damn good. He has an 11-7 record with a sterling 2.92 earned run average. He's recorded 243 strikeouts, which is the eighth most in all of baseball and fourth-most by an NL pitcher.
But if you're ever going to have a legit chance against Scherzer, it's now. That's because the right-hander has actually looked like a mere mortal in his recent outings.
In fact, in his last seven games, Scherzer posted a 2-2 record with just an ordinary 4.74 ERA. He was very hittable, having surrendered 36 hits in the 38 innings he worked during that seven-game span.
In his last start, which was last Tuesday against Philadelphia, Scherzer gave up four earned runs and a pair of homers, both to Brad Miller.
Despite Scherzer 's recent struggles, Nationals manager Dave Martinez still opted to start him against the Brewers instead of Stephen Strasburg, who has enjoyed a sensational season and who has been dominant in recent weeks.
Strasburg recorded an impressive 18-6 record and 3.32 ERA during the regular season. What's more, he blew away hitters, accruing 215 strikeouts, third-most in the NL.
In his last seven games, Strasburg went 3-1 with a glittering 2.05 ERA. In that same stretch of games, he struck out 60 hitters in 44 innings.
They say timing is everything, and now just might be the right time for the Brewers to catch a big break by facing Scherzer instead of Strasburg.

'Astronauts' begin Mars simulation in planetary dome in Negev
AMADEE-20 is a 21-day Mars analog simulation taking place in the Negev desert and will be managed by the Austrian Space Forum and the Israel Space Agency
Yafit Ovadia | 12:25 10.10.2021
When it comes to space, the sky is not the limit. And when it comes to Israel, space exploration doesn't end with the Moon. For the first time, the Israeli Space Agency in collaboration with the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) will conduct an integrated Mars analog field mission in a protected dome - at Israeli research facility D-MARS - located in the Negev desert in Israel. The six-person crew entered the dome at 6 a.m. on Monday morning for the 21-day mission, which will be carried out in the Martian terrestrial analog. Using the Austrian Space Forum's specifically developed Mars suit prototypes, the analog astronauts will perform more than 20 experiments in the fields of biology, medicine, psychology, geology, and engineering. The study involves 200 researchers from 25 different countries.
The OeWF's Mission Support Center in Innsbruck, Austria will monitor the mission and act as liaison to the science institutions and researchers participating in AMADEE-20. This marks the agency's 13th Mars analog mission, which it hopes will contribute to future human and robotic exploration of Mars.

The test site is located in the Negev desert in southern Israel near the Ramon Crater. Although not an impact crater, rather a rare form of an erosion structure, it has a highly similar resemblance to various Mars surface features, and a variety of terrain types similar to Mars exploration. The test site offers a wide range of sand and rocky surfaces, and the site bears striking similarity to the Vallis Marineris structure on Mars. The selected analog astronauts are highly qualified experts who were trained by the Austrian Space Forum, and will be led by Commander and aerospace engineer João Lousada from Portugal, an experienced analog astronaut who already participated in two previous Mars analog missions in Austria (2015) and Oman (2018).
The Austrian Space Forum chose five other experts from an international pool of 13 certified analog candidates, including Iñigo Muñoz-Elorza (Spain), Anika Mehlis (Germany), Alon Tenzer (Israel), Thomas Wijnen (The Netherlands), and Robert Wild (Austria).

Of the many experiments that will be tested during the remote isolation mission in the dome, Israeli startup's Stemrad's anti-radiation vest will also be tested. The Stemrad vest is designed to shield the bone marrow and other sensitive organs against cosmic radiation. The experiment aims to protect astronauts on extraterrestrial surfaces whose gravity is less than the Earth - whether the Moon or Mars. Stemrad hopes to gain key answers on issues such as the weight, comfortability, and ergonomics issues faced by the astronauts wearing the vest while performing daily activities and any recommendation for future improvements.
Avi Blasberger, outgoing-Director-General of the ISA noted that "our cooperation with the Austrian Space Forum and hosting AMADEE-20 in Israel is in line with our policy to support science, to be part of the international efforts for human exploration and to further our outreach and educational program. We are proud to be part of it and will invest all the required efforts to ensure its success."

"The Israel Space Agency is a strong and reliable partner for our next Mars analog mission. With this mission, we will increase the fidelity of our Mars mission simulations even further. During the four-week duration of the mission our six analog astronauts will live and work at a habitat that is being provided by D-Mars and was specifically built for AMADEE-20. The Austrian Space Forum's analog astronauts will perform more than 20 experiments in isolation to further facilitate the understanding of advantages and limitations of future human planetary missions. This will be the largest, most complex Mars mission simulation in 2021," noted Gernot Grömer, Director of the Austrian Space Forum. "The purpose of simulating a Mars Mission on Earth is to prepare for future crewed missions on the Red Planet. The OeWF is one of only five research groups worldwide that has developed a prototype space suit which will be donned by the analog astronauts during their mission."

We are please to announce that several of our current sponsorship opportunities have been fulfilled by a generous group of local businesses. We would urge you to consider using our sponsors should you require one of the services they offer.
Please see the details below.
A SPORTS SHOE EXCHANGE
The club is keen to extend it's work within the community through it's Kids Initiative setup in 2018. The object of the scheme is to involve all local children in the fun of football, especially those facing physical, emotional or financial hardship. The club is working with local schools and children's charities to provide free coaching, equipment and clothing for the kids most in need.
What is apparent is that a lot of children are unable to take part in school sporting activities because they don't have the appropriate footwear and equipment. In a bid to alleviate this problem the club, together with Poole Town Wessex, is delighted to launch The Boot Room. This will operate as a sports shoe exchange whereby we will collect and redistribute, through schools and charities, football boots and trainers.
Our aim is to help children who are beneficiaries of the Pupil Premium (PP) scheme but appreciate that schools know the children they have who are most in need and will be guided accordingly to help those not necessarily part of the PP scheme.
We are looking for support from local businesses in the day to day running of The Boot Room through sponsorship. Please contact Richard Gale, PooleTown's Vice Chairman, if you feel that you would like to discuss your possible participation in the scheme.
Please email richard.gale@pooletownfc.co.uk
Poole Town FC Soccer Schools 2019
Poole Town FC are proud to offer free soccer school places to the following local charities – MOSAIC, NEW FOREST YOUNG CARERS, CHRISTCHURCH YOUTH CENTRE & DORSET CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION.
We are looking for sponsors to provide funds to cover transportation costs and the cost of places for 15 children to attend one of these fun days. The sponsor will be able to choose the charity they wish to provide funds for (subject to availability)
The Soccer Schools are widely advertised through the club's websites and SM platforms.
Any sponsored day will be advertised as 'sponsored by … (with the sponsor's name).
The schools will feature on the Kids & Community website news section and will be reported in the next Newsletter which is distributed online and in hardcopy.

Deferring Peace in International Statebuilding
Difference, Resilience and Critique
Pol Bargués-Pedreny
Published September 30, 2020 by Routledge
Published May 10, 2018 by Routledge
Deferring Peace in International Statebuilding: Difference, Resilience and Critique
This book explores the last 25 years of international peacebuilding and recasts them as a growing crisis of confidence in universal ideas of peacebuilding and self-government.
Since current peacebuilding interventions are abandoning domineering, top-down and linear methodologies, and experimenting with context-sensitive, self-reflexive and locally driven strategies, the book makes two suggestions. The first is that international policymakers are embracing some of the critiques of liberal peace. For more than a decade, scholarly critiques have pointed out the need to focus on everyday dynamics and local initiatives and resistances to liberal peace in order to enable hybrid and long-term practice-based strategies of peacebuilding. Now, the distance between the policy discourse and critical frameworks has narrowed. The second suggestion is that in stepping away from liberal peace, a transvaluation of peacebuilding values is occurring. Critiques are beginning to accept and valorise that international interventions will continuously fail to produce sensitive results. The earlier frustrations with unexpected setbacks, errors or contingencies are ebbing away. Instead, critiques normalise the failure to promote stability and peace.
This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, international intervention, conflict resolution, international organisations and security studies in general.
Part 1: The Liberal Peace Disillusionment: Institutions to Bridge a Divided World 1) Introduction: Liberal Peace Last Agony 2) The Disillusionment with Democratisation 3) The Shifting Governance of Post-Conflict Kosovo Part 2: From Agony to Love: Vorarephilia at the End of Liberal Peace 4) Local Ownership and Deferral 5) Resilience and Deferral 6) Connolly, Critiques and Vorarephilia 7) Conclusion: Uncanny Optimism at the End of the Liberal Peace
Pol Bargués-Pedreny is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. His work explores debates on international intervention and critique in International Relations.
'This important book illuminates the spectre haunting projects of international peace and state-building: bad faith. The ease with which the critical Western gaze dismisses both domestic capacities for self-government and external projects of transformation is both closely examined and profoundly challenged. A must read for policy practitioners, academics and activists worried about the current stasis in international policy-making.'-- David Chandler, University of Westminster, UK
'This highly readable account of the evolution of understandings of peacebuilding is perhaps the first systematic attempt to focus on how universal liberalism is being questioned. Starting with developments in the 1990s and moving forward to arguments about the local, hybridity and resilience, the book skilfully charts the shifts in international discourse. Employing a philosophical critique, this is a much needed critical engagement with contemporary thinking.'--Jonathan Joseph, University of Sheffield, UK
'Pol Bargués Pedreny's forthcoming Deferring Peace in International Statebuilding offers a rigorous analysis of the rise and fall of liberal peace models since the 1990s, and international interventions seeking to re-engineer war-affected societies and establish peace. His insightful study of the evolving interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo, where considerable resources have been expended, illustrates the failures of international models and how policy-makers have adapted to their failures. The policy adaptations have retreated from liberal beliefs in democracy and self-government to non-liberal governance. Leading critiques of liberal peace models have been absorbed in ways suggesting the incapacity of both international actors and the war-affected societies to transform the situation. Policy ideas of local ownership and resilience do not mean the revival of self-determination, but the risk management of inse

A wine that just might answer the question, "What do I serve with that ham?"
April 16, 2009, 12 p.m.
I've been working my way through bottles of wine from various vineyards that grow their grapes organically or practice sustainability in a substantial way. My intention is to try something from a new vineyard each week, but when I bought last week's Red Truck wines, the gentleman helping me at the wine store strongly suggested I try Bonterra Vineyard's 2007 Viognier ($22.99).
I've already reviewed one wine from Bonterra, their Zinfandel, but I thought, why not. I was told that people were saying lots of great things about the Viognier, and I'm trying to not only try wines from new vineyards but also wine varietals that I've never tried before.
Wow, I liked this wine. Subtly fruity without screaming citrus or peachy. It was creamy – something I usually don't notice in a wine. Quite enjoyable from the first sip. Often, when I try a new white wine that is fruity, my first thought is it will be great on the back deck in summer. But this is a white that I could tell would work well with food.
I first paired it with fried flounder with a sweet remoulade sauce, and it paired very nicely. That was last Saturday night. I had already bought my wines for Easter, but I had a hunch it would also work well with my brown sugar glazed ham. Right before we sat down to dinner on Sunday, I snuck into the kitchen and poured the last of the Viognier into my wine glass (I know, terribly rude of the hostess to serve herself something different than what she is serving her guests, but I was very sly about it. Plus, it was purely in the name of reserach). My hunch was right. It was nice with the ham.
If you've been looking to expand your wine choices, give Bonterra's Viognier a try.
