'Smart plants' could soon detect deadly radon and mold in your home
By Frankie Schembri Jul. 19, 2018 , 2:00 PM
Your favorite succulent just got a little more succulent. Inspired by smoke detectors and smart home monitors, scientists are genetically engineering houseplants to sense harmful chemicals from mold and other kinds of fungi—and alert homeowners to their presence. If they can figure out how houseplants respond to other threats, such as radon and airborne pathogens, researchers could one day engineer "smart plants" to tackle a whole host of problems.
The idea has already been tested on the farm, researchers write in a review published today in Science . From 2012 to 2013, plant scientists modified tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) to produce excessive amounts of orange fluorescent protein when they encountered disease-causing bacteria. To do so, researchers first identified the genes in the tobacco plant genome that were likely to react to harmful airborne chemicals known as volatile organic compounds. Then, they inserted synthetic "promoters" into the plants' DNA to crank those reactions up to 10. When the engineered plants sensed the bacteria, their cells reacted by pumping out the orange fluorescent protein. To detect the signal, farmers simply had to put on light-filtering goggles and see whether the plants glowed orange under a green light, the researchers reported previously in Plant Biotechnology Journal .
That technology could soon move inside the home, say reviewers, where "living walls" of genetically modified plants could be installed near air vents, where they might one day be able to sense toxic mold growth and airborne viruses, like the flu. Right now, just like the tobacco plant, they would have to be illuminated to see the signal, in this case with ultraviolet light. Scientists hope to soon discover proteins in houseplants that could produce a signal visible to the naked human eye.
But before they can do that, scientists will need to analyze the DNA of several houseplant species to figure out what kinds of reactions can be manipulated—and what kinds of signals can be made. That's because, unlike crops and many popular flowering plants, little is known about the genes of houseplants. Once researchers zero in on the genes they can manipulate, though, be on the lookout for your new, whole-house "check engine" light.
*Correction, 20 July, 9:55 a.m.: An earlier version of this story misstated the Latin name for the tobacco plant.

I've not had much money to spend on shopping recently, as I'm still waiting for a start date for my new job and I'm kind of coasting along. However I have found a few little bargains to share with you and also I've found a way of getting US shades of the Maybelline Colour Tattoos!
Boots are also giving out a free Showgirl Mascara (worth £5.99), which is new from Barry M, if you spend £7 or more on the line. This was convenient, as I'd forgotten to put mascara on that day and I was feeling pretty self-conscious! I chose the Extra Black Volume, but if I go back for the other nail polishes I'm after I'll get the Extra Lengthening one too.
I finally managed to get my hands on a Rimmel Provocalips in Make Your Move (£6.99), a dusky pink shade. I'm interested to try this gloss-tint duo.
Let me know what you think of my haul in the comments :) do you own any of my picks? Are any of them on your wish list?
Great haul! I love those three nail colours you chose - they're all so pretty.
I'm dying to try Apocolips - love the colour you chose!
I have been wanting to try Maybelline color tattoo eyeshadows for soo long. Great post!
I've heard really good things about the Color Tattoos!


In our modern age, globalization is occurring on several fronts. The various problems faced by society transcend borders and regions, and require an approach that is on a worldwide scale. In the Faculty of Global and Interdisciplinary Studies (GIS), we aim to analyze and devise solutions for the issues surrounding the contemporary and diverse cultural and societal phenomena facing our world. To achieve this, we must be able to bridge diverse regions across the world, and be able to collect and disseminate information among them. The GIS programs trains such capable individuals, giving them an interdisciplinary education that transcends academic boundaries, as well as advanced English language skills that can be used a tool for collecting and sharing information. Through the project of Japan's Ministry of Education for the "Promotion of Global Human Resource Development" the GIS program is also contributing to the overall internationalization of Hosei University. Furthermore, through support for initiatives such as fall admissions to allow undergraduates to continue their studies at graduate schools abroad, we are promoting increased globalization in education and nurturing independent, people-oriented individuals who can excel on the international stage.
This department emphasizes small class sizes and an immersive English-language classroom environment, from discussions to essay writing. We train truly international individuals with interdisciplinary knowledge and world-class English skills.

AZAdvances Discoveries
What is your mission?
The mission of AZAdvances ™ is to support the creation and commercialization of Arizona-based health innovations.
AZAdvances is a division of the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF) a 501c3 non profit and grass roots organization that provides entrepreneurial education, mentoring and support to individuals and organizations. For additional documentation, print OTEF's gift letter or print the IRS Determination Letter.
The mission of the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF) is to provide a path to for economic sustainability to at-risk populations that are often forgotten or left behind and to support entrepreneurs and innovators to deliver products and services which improve the world around us.
Why is de-risking early stage opportunities important?
Early stage investors have many options for their investment dollars. Life science opportunities, especially those that are early in the development cycle, can appear daunting at best. AZAdvances' endowment based model allows companies to access the capital needed to move further along the development cycle and begin to mitigate early development risk. As the level of risk declines, the companies become more attractive to traditional sources of capital including angel investment, venture capital, and other forms of equity investment.
How can AZAdvances help keep companies in Arizona?
There is always a risk that promising young firms will be drawn away or forced to move in their quest for investment dollars. Past experience has shown that the best way to keep companies in place is to root them in the community. Companies can be rooted by investments in facilities, strategic partnerships with universities or clinical partners, or by key local talent. Past examples of well rooted companies that were acquired, stayed, and continue to grow here include Ventana (Roche), Abraxis (Celgene), Ulthera (Merz), CBR (Generate Life Sciences) and MicroRel (Medtronic).
What is the impact of having a Resident Institutional Lead Investor in Arizona?
History has shown that when Arizona had institutional investment focused on the life science sector based in the state, levels of life science venture investment were significantly higher.
AZAdvances' investments into Arizona life science companies, at the direction of the AZAdvances trustees, can serve as a first institutional investor for local companies and provide syndication support to additional local and out of state investment partners.
AZAdvances' endowment model also provides for a steady stream of investment capital inside the state so that the peaks and valleys of traditional venture fund structures can be
avoided. In addition, through AZAdvances' support of the incubators and accelerators within Arizona's life science innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurs are better supported and more likely to succeed.

What are some of the types of programs that can be supported by AZAdvances?
AZAdvances programs are divided into two areas, grants to non-profits that strengthen the life science ecosystem and mission related investments into early stage life science companies.
Grants to Nonprofits
Supporting Incubator & Accelerator activities
Matching grants for feasibility studies or proof-of-concept grants to non-profit research institutes
Hosting Investor Events
Acquiring Shared Resources & Equipment
Licensing Shared Information Databases
Programs that support developing tomorrow's talent
Mission Related Investments
SBIR Matching Investments
Angel Investment Matching
Direct or Co-investment
Investments may take the form of Convertible Notes for seed investments or Equity based investments as determined by the AZAdvances Trustees on a case by case basis following the due diligence process.
How are the endowments structured?
Maintained as separate accounts within the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF), a 501c3 public charity established in 2005, AZAdvances is structured to make an impact today and for generations to come.
AZAdvances is designed to address our early stage life science funding challenge in a way that is both strategic and sustainable. Combining the immediate impact of a current use fund with a separate evergreen endowment, the AZAdvances structure, once capitalized, can provide a steady stream of early stage capital to move Arizona-based health innovations forward.
The AZAdvances Today Fund is a current use fund designed to accept donations and distributions from the AZAdvances Legacy fund. The AZAdvances Today Fund will distribute grants and mission related investments base on the needs of the life science ecosystem and the projects that have the greatest potential for future impact in accordance with our mission and as directed by the AZAdvances Board of Trustees..
The AZAdvances Legacy Fund is a long-term, evergreen endowment designed to grow the core capital and make annual distributions into the AZAdvances Today Fund.
Special Purpose Funds may be established based on donor request for express purposes that are consistent with our mission.
AZAdvances Trustees will evaluate applications to determine which programs and projects can deliver the greatest impact.
The equity generated from AZAdvances mission related investments is held within the AZAdvances Legacy Endowment. By reinvesting future returns from AZAdvances' early stage investments, AZAdvances will grow the base endowment so that the distributions can grow as the endowment grows. To maintain an appropriately diversified investment portfolio, the core capital of the AZAdvances Legacy Endowment will be invested in a growth-oriented, diversified portfolio of public and private investments.
Through OTEF, AZAdvances will make the distributions to the approved projects out of the AZAdvances Today Fund. In the case of grants, the AZAdvances trustees will administer and track performance. In the case of early stage investments, they will become part of the holdings of the AZAdvances Legacy Endowment. As these investments mature and exit, they will help to build the value of the core capital so that AZAdvances has greater capacity to support the community in the future.
Where are the endowments maintained?
Banking and Investments
The Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF) currently maintains its accounts at Chase Bank, N.A. As AZAdvances accounts grow, the OTEF Board of Directors and the AZAdvances Trustees will determine what additional fiduciary services are required to manage the core capital, equity holdings, and distributions.
The Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation was incorporated in the State of Arizona in 2005 and is organized under Arizona Law. The Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation was granted IRS Section 501c3 public charity status effective November 2, 2005. EIN# 20-3779020

Please consult your tax advisor with questions about how your donation applies to your personal tax situation.
Can I contribute gifts of stocks or other securities?
Giving appreciated securities (publicly traded or closely held), bonds, or mutual fund shares is an option. A gift of appreciated securities may qualify for a charitable tax deduction and may avoid the long-term capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the asset. Stocks or bonds held more than one year that have increased in value may qualify for a deduction equal to the full market value of the gift. With stocks or bonds worth less than the price you paid for them, the wisest course is to sell them and give the cash proceeds. The sale will establish a loss that may offset other capital gains income.
To discuss a non-cash donation, please contact us.
Please consult your tax advisor with questions about the deductibility of these gifts and how it applies to your personal tax situation.
Do you accept in-kind donations and welcome volunteer services?
There are many ways that members of our community can get involved in helping AZAdvances achieve the goal of building a $200 Million Endowment within the AZAdvances Legacy Endowment and the $50 Million AZAdvances Today Fund.

How is AZAdvances different than AZ-HCIF?
In October of 2017, the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF) and the Healthcare Impact Foundation (HCIF), a 501c3 non-profit based in New York City, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form Healthcare Impact Foundation-Arizona or AZ-HCIF. The goal was to build a solution to address the early-stage funding challenge that slows the progress of innovation within Arizona life science companies. AZ-HCIF would be further supported by the Arizona Bioindustry Association (AZBio). With over 200 life science companies as members and with deep ties across the community, AZBio would provide vital insights and help build the infrastructure necessary for the project to move forward.
In December of 2018, AZBio announced that it has been awarded a $299,750 grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration's (EDA) 2018 Regional Innovation Strategies (RIS) program competition to support the creation of a sustainable seed fund for life science innovation in Arizona. In addition to the federal contribution to the project, AZBio and its partners will provide matching support in excess of $500,000 over the three-year term of the project. These resources support the seed fund capital campaign, structure and operations as well as programs designed to help Arizona life science companies prepare for the investment process. Under the terms of the grant, neither the federal funds or the matching funds may be used to capitalize the fund itself or for direct investment into individual companies. (Press release)
With support from the EDA Grant, a Capital Campaign study was commissioned by AZBio in the spring of 2019. As part of the study, we sought input from the community on what would be needed to achieve the goals of the capital campaign and ultimately to support our mission to provide entrepreneurial education and support, including grants and mission related investments into Arizona life science companies that help to advance life changing and life saving products and services along the path from discovery to development to delivery.
Based on the input received, OTEF leadership worked with HCIF leadership to address needs identified in the study and to evaluate what would be the best way to move forward. This resulted in the termination of the MOU with HCIF.
With the full support of the OTEF Board of Directors, AZAdvances was created within OTEF to support the mission and to ensure that we are fully responsive to the needs of our community, our donors, and our supporters.
As of September 30, 2019, all funds held in escrow for AZ-HCIF by HCIF have been transferred back to OTEF for AZAdvances .
OTEF, including AZAdvances, has no remaining business relationship with HCIF. We wish HCIF success as they pursue their mission.
Are you listed on GuideStar?
When a donor commits their resources to a non-profit organization, we believe that they should have access to information about our organization, including our current plans, the metrics we set, the outcomes we achieve, and more.

AZBio's metrics focus on the documented results that Arizona's Bioindustry is generating in the creation of firms and jobs along with venture investment as a measure of growth potential. It also contains our quintile ranking nationally as compared to other states. AZBio has also highlighted just some of the programs designed to increase our industry's growth potential specifically in the areas of: improving the availability of early stage capital; increasing the awareness of the value our industry delivers; and providing opportunities for students that support our future talent pipeline.
As a grass roots organization, the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation has leveraged the power of community volunteers to deliver educational programming since 2005. As its annual receipts were under $50,000, OTEF began submitting a 990-N information return with the IRS beginning in 2011. View OTEF's IRS 990-N History It is expected that due to donations to AZAdvances, OTEF will be filing the long form IRS 990 information returns beginning in the 2020 tax year and will have more in-depth information available on GuideStar going forward.
OTEF is in the process of updating its GuideStar Profile. For the current version click here to view OTEF's GuideStar Profile.
Who is leading the AZAdvances Capital Campaign?
A coalition of nonprofit organizations has come together to raise $200 million AZAdvances Legacy Endowment and a $50 million AZAdvances Today Fund to support the commercialization of life changing and lifesaving healthcare innovations that are developed by Arizona-based researchers and entrepreneurs.
The founding members of the coalition include the Arizona Bioindustry Association, Inc. (AZBio) and the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation, Inc. (OTEF), a 501c3 pubic charity based in Arizona.
This is the second collaboration between OTEF and AZBio. The first was the creation of D3Bio, a division of OTEF, which launched in 2014 to support life science innovation and life science innovators along the pathway from discovery to development to delivery. D3Bio's most popular program, the Student Discovery Zone held at AZBio Signature Events has provided over 900 Arizona high school and university students with the opportunity to share the results of student run research projects with industry leaders.
Who are the AZAdvances Trustees?
The AZAdvances Board of Trustees will be comprised of Arizona Leaders as well as at least one Trustee serving on the OTEF board of directors as board liaison. The current AZAdvances Trustees are provided below. Additional Trustees will be nominated and approved by the OTEF Board of Directors as the endowment builds.

Joan Koerber-Walker , currently serves as an AZAdvanaces Trustee and as the board liaison to OTEF where she has served as chair of the board since 2006 . (See below for Joan's expanded bio.)
How will the AZAdvances Trustees make grant or investment decisions?
All decisions on grants and investments made by AZAdvances will be directed by the AZAdvances Board of Trustees based on what they believe will have the greatest potential for impact each year. Each year the the AZAdvances Trustees will determine the mix of available grant and investment dollars that will have the greatest potential impact. It will be up to the then-current AZAdvances Trustees to establish or adjust its grant making policies or allocations in accordance with AZAdvances' mission. AZAdvances mission is specific to Arizona. At no time will the AZAdvances Trustees approve allocations for projects that are outside of Arizona or that do not specifically impact Arizona-based operations.
AZAdvances Trustees may approve direct-expenditure grants to non-profit organizations consistent with the our mission, the needs of local ecosystem and the terms of applicable grant agreements. Grants will be paid by OTEF at the direction of the AZAdvances Trustees to the grantee.
AZAdvances Trustees may direct investments into for-profit companies from its annual distribution that are consistent with its mission and the then-current investment criteria approved by the AZAdvances Trustees and the AZAdvances Investment Committee. Investments will be made by AZAdvances and managed within the AZAdvances separate account at OTEF.

De Hr.Ms. Urania was een opleidingszeilschip van het Nederlandse Koninklijk Instituut voor de Marine (KIM). Het schip werd door adelborsten gebruikt voor het verwerven van een groot deel van hun nautische kennis. De Urania was een van twee schepen die hiervoor worden gebruikt. Het andere schip is Van Kinsbergen.

Geschiedenis
Sinds 1830 beschikt de Koninklijke Marine over een opleidingszeilschip met de naam Urania. In de Griekse mythologie is Urania de godin van de astronomie. Het wapenschild toont dit door een opengewerkte hemelsfeer omgeven door de tekens van de dierenriem. De slagzin "Caveo non Timeo" betekent "Waakzaam doch niet Bevreesd".

De hier beschreven Urania werd in 1928 door de Haarlemsche Scheepsbouw Maatschappij gebouwd als een privé-jacht Tromp. Het was een schoener met oorspronkelijk een "wishbone" tuigage wat na een jaar gewijzigd werd in een gaffel-schoenertuig met breefok.

Begin 1938 werd de Urania gekocht door de Nederlandse marine en op 23 april van dat jaar als Hr.Ms. Urania in actieve dienst gesteld.

In mei 1940 werd het schip door de Duitsers in beslag genomen en door de Duitse marine ingezet voor de opleiding van Duitse aspirant officieren bij de Marine Schule Flensburg / Murwick. In 1946 werd het schip teruggevonden en teruggebracht naar Nederland. Sindsdien heeft het schip gevaren voor adelborsten bij het KIM, en incidenteel ook voor andere opleidingen bij de Nederlandse marine.

In 1957 werd de huidige Bermuda kits tuigage ingevoerd, wat wil zeggen dat de voormast langer is dan de achtermast, de roerkoning zich achter de bezaansmast bevindt en het oppervlak van de Bezaan minimaal 60% bedraagt van die van het grootzeil.

In 2001 is er tijdens slecht weer een gat geslagen in de romp en werd besloten tot ingrijpende renovatie. Al snel bleek dat dit niet haalbaar was, en werd er een nieuwe romp gebouwd, gebaseerd op dit schip.

Q: 'Rules' to be taken into account when working with cross-domain iframe content Originally, I was planning on a site that would've involved the manipulation of any elements loaded into an iframe from another domain. I now know that's not possible because of the policy around the origin of it, what other policies are in place that I need to take into account?
I'm asking because although I'm no longer going to attempt to access the iframe contents, I am still going to rely on the iframe as a major source of my site's content and it will, in fact, span the majority of the screen space. Users will be able to navigate to certain sites using the iframe. Is there anything I've got to comply with while doing this? Are there restrictions in the way I use other sites' content?
May seem kind of like the more non-technical kind of topic but I'd rather confirm this prior to spending months of dev work on it.

The holidays are here, which means it's time to take care of your gift list.
Instead of hitting up the crowded mall, unwind at your local spa. Find a gift for anyone with gift cards for massages, facials and other spa treatments, or lovely products that keep friends and family looking great year round! You don't have to run yourself ragged going from store to store in the mall to give a relaxing gift during the hectic holiday season that's calorie-free and clutter-free!
Check out these common spa or wellness services, and who would enjoy receiving them.
Gym memberships can be expensive and risky. You may spend a ton of money on a gift that someone may not use; however, if the recipient is already a gym member, the gift of one-on-one sessions can be a challenging and motivating option. Personal trainers can customize exercises and fitness plans to their clients' specific needs.
Anyone who loves going to the gym but hasn't splurged on personal training sessions. If you have a gym rat friend, this is a perfect way to go. Don't give this to friends who aren't gym regulars, though. They may never use the sessions if they don't enjoy the gym already.
Facials can be beneficial to all skin types. They offer deep cleansing, exfoliation and nourishment to dry, rough or damaged skin. You can choose from anti-aging facials, deep pore facials, seasonal facials and more. Many spas get into the holiday spirit by offering peppermint facials or pumpkin facials.
Facials are a great gift for any age. For a teenage girl, try an anti-acne one. A middle-aged or older woman would appreciate an anti-aging facial. A European deep pore facial is great for anyone – it provides basic cleansing, exfoliation, massage, and a customized mask.
Manicures and pedicures should be your go-to gift if you're unsure of what spa service to give. Everyone loves them, and they're common enough you won't scare off anyone who's not a regular spa-goer. Manicures and pedicures are always welcome – especially near the holidays when everyone wants to look their best!
If you're not interested in giving a gift card, spas and salons offer a variety of skincare, hair-care and nail-care products. From face washes and exfoliation kits to nail polishes, shampoos, self-tanners, and so much more; you can choose from wonderful gifts you know will be enjoyed and used!
Anyone! For close family and friends, choose something you know they'd really love, such as a facial scrub for an aunt who enjoys facials or self-tanner for your niece who loves to have a warm glow even in the winter months. Choose staples for those you don't know as well: shampoos, conditioners, face washes and nail polishes are practical gifts we could all use.
This holiday season simplify your gift list by shopping at your local spa. Spa and wellness gifts are thoughtful, personal, and appreciated during a season when we all could use a little pampering.

Three In Row For Matt Moore
Pitching his way out of town?
Yes, this post is to distract Joe from the uncontrollable vomiting afflicting most Rays fans this season.
It's official. Matt Moore has recovered from the virus infecting Tampa Bay starters.
Yes, the Rays lost their fifth straight and sank deeper in the A.L. East basement yesterday in Boston, but Moore had his third consecutive solid start. That's not a coincidence, and Joe sure hopes it means Chris Archer and friends can find their way out of the crapper, too.
On June 7, Moore was hammered in Arizona for five runs in seven innings, ballooning his ERA to 5.56. After yesterday's two earned runs in six innings, Moore has shaved the ERA down to 4.46, and he's allowed just four earned runs in his last three starts.
Of course, that may not be a silver lining if the Rays decide the haul they could get in a trade for 27-year-old Moore is too tempting. What a kick in the balls it would be if Moore has a new team in a couple of weeks.
3 Responses to "Three In Row For Matt Moore"
This is the most mystifying part of the Ray's season. The inability of this veteran pitching staff to pitch effectively as a group. Not attacking hitters, not pitching inside (Example: Odorizzi last hit a batter in August, 2015), and taking too many pitches to get through the early innings. It wasn't that long ago that the Rays entire pitching staff had a historic low earn run average in a season.
Depending on what we get in return, everybody on this team should be available to trade away. Hell, we can finish last with or without them.
1st Inning, Rays have men at 2nd and 3rd; didn't score. Red Sox get men on 2nd and 3rd. Score at the end of 1….Red Sox 3 – Rays 0
See you on the other side.

From 1999 to 2016, nearly 9,000 children and teenagers died from opioids.
This finding comes from a report released by Yale University that suggests that the opioid epidemic that America is facing may continue to grow. One way to stop the expansion is to get more legislators, public health officials, doctors and parents to help raise awareness about these drugs. There needs to be more measures taken to keep these drugs out of our of children's hands.
More than 80 percent of the nearly 9,000 children and teens who died were not intentional but 5 percent were from suicide and 2 percent by homicide. The drug culprit was heroin which caused 24 percent of the deaths for teens aged 15-19 years old. For 36 percent of the children's deaths, methadone was associated to them. Another common problem causing children and teens to overdose is that they are being prescribed methadone for pain.
Most commonly, children and teens find drugs around their house. Sometimes, parents are prescribed a pain medication for a dentist visit or for some type of surgery. They put them in the medicine cabinet and forget about them. This is a big mistake because children and teens are victorious for rummaging and in today's dog eat dog world of online competition, pain pills have a majority of the spotlight. Children and teens are looking for and taking pain pills just like they were candy. It's important to lock these drugs up and raise awareness about the dangers that can come from taking them.
Almost 36 percent of all opioid overdose deaths within the United States are due to a prescription prescribed by a doctor. These deaths have increased five times since 1999. In 2017, there were 17,000 overdose deaths from prescription opioids.
The opioid epidemic is caused tens of thousands of overdose deaths in 2018, and already in early 2019 the numbers are not looking good. Individuals struggling from substance abuse should seek help by searching a drug rehab directory to find a list of drug rehabs that offer treatment in their area.

Seeking a Life of Art in Jewish Family Stories
'Armageddon Time' and 'The Fabelmans' are set within Jewish households, but they have more to say about the pursuit of creativity than cultural identity

Critic's Notebook: 'Some Like It Hot' Turns 60, as Fresh and Frisky as Ever
Illustration by Meryl Rowin
In educated, middle-class Jewish homes, it's not uncommon for the kids to boast artistic passions and ambitions. To judge by Focus Features' Armageddon Time and Universal's The Fabelmans, two semi-autobiographical dramas from directors James Gray and Steven Spielberg, respectively, art is a thematic centerpiece, opening up a Pandora's box of conflicting values.
An array of pragmatic and moral dilemmas, stemming in part from the protagonists' identity as Jews, is at the core of each film. Our protagonists and their family members are conversant in the outlier's life, having experienced antisemitism. Many of their self-assessments, goals and responses to others emerge from those defining events. Most relevant, both films are coming-of-age narratives filtered through the distorting lens of memory, colored in varying degrees of nostalgia, embellishment and the need for reconciliation with past events and significant others whose spectral presence haunts their respective filmmakers.
Trevor Noah, Grammys Producer Tease Live Show: "It's Going to Be the Most Star-Studded Room"
Set in the '50s and '60s, The Fabelmans explores budding filmmaker Sammy (Gabriel LaBelle) and the traumatizing events leading to the breakup of his parents, Mitzi and Burt (Michelle Williams and Paul Dano). Filming the simmering domestic chaos in order to escape it, Sammy unintentionally captures a romantic interaction between his mother and his dad's best friend, Benny (Seth Rogen). The picture becomes a devastating revelation, fueling his rage toward both of his parents — but especially his father, whom he views as most responsible for the marital crisis.
Burt Fabelman is a striver, defining worth by professional success. He is at once, paradoxically, an everyman and a Jewish archetype. An electrical engineer, Burt relocates his family from New Jersey to Arizona, then to Northern California, as a stepping stone on his career journey. With each new home, the family fissures grow wider. Sammy's relationship with his dad is strained by the latter's opinion of the art of filmmaking, which Burt views as a hobby at best. In Spielberg's forgiving spin, however, Burt is just doing the best he can, even teaching his son the science of moving pictures.
Once setting sights on a career as a concert pianist, Mitzi Fabelman gave it all up to be a wife and mother. A frustrated, disappointed woman, she is nevertheless self-centered. "You don't owe anyone your life," she advises her son. Feeling trapped, she unravels — and the line between psychiatric disorder and eccentricity is thin. Either way, it's the artist as flake. Great-uncle Boris (Judd Hirsch) also embodies the wild and wacky world of self-expression; he is the impassioned family black sheep, urging his nephew to follow his dreams despite the gut-wrenching sacrifices involved. "Family, art," he bellows. "It will tear your heart out!" Overstated and bordering on satire, Boris is well beyond Jewish stereotype.
At his predominantly WASP high school, Sammy endures open expressions of antisemitism. But here we have a Spielbergian twist: Foreshadowing the optimism that characterizes so many of his movies, the most antisemitic kid has a change of heart after seeing himself in a heroic light thanks to Sammy's filmmaking talents. The fanciful film ends on a note of affirmation and a bit of self-mythologizing. We all know who Sammy grew up to be, and so does the filmmaker.
Gray's screen alter ego, Paul Graff (Banks Repeta), is captured at a younger, more formative age. A sixth grader in 1980 Queens, Paul is a talented painter and plans to pursue it professionally. His grandfather Aaron Rabinowitz (Anthony Hopkins) is fully behind him, while his straitlaced parents, Irving (Jeremy Strong) and Esther (Anne Hathaway), want their son to choose a financially solvent career.
The film centers on Paul's friendship with Johnny (Jaylin Webb), one of the few Black kids in Paul's class and with whom he shares a mischievous streak — though the punishments each receives, from teacher or principal or police, are unequal. Gray hints at the chasms between the Black and Jewish communities, their common ground notwithstanding. It's the uncomfortable crux of the film.
Politically, the Graffs are liberals. They understand injustice, and certainly oppose it in theory, but acting upon those principles is another matter. When Paul is caught smoking weed with Johnny, his parents remove him from public school and enroll him in a conservative, all-white Christian academy. Irving believes integrated classrooms are a roadblock to Paul's success, while Paul is troubled by his classmates' casual racism. Irving says to Paul, "Life isn't fair," but he advocates pragmatic self-protection, even at the expense of others.
While both films embody Jewish characters and concerns, neither adds a new understanding of Jewish family life. There's an intangible lack of authenticity in each (especially considering non-Jewish actors cast in Jewish roles). One can't help but compare these films to a feature like Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), which is spot-on in its vision of a singular Jewish family and community of artists. Its specificity rings true as it never points to its Jewishness — it's just there. Armageddon Time and The Fabelmans, on the other hand, don't want their viewers to miss the obvious, which in turn makes them feel all the more generic.

GREECE STEPS UP US SPIN CAMPAIGN
GREECE THROWS IN "BORROWED GERMAN CASH" AT US SPIN CAMPAIGN!
Greece's Ambassador to the US, Mr Theocharis Lalacos, formerly Greek Ambassador to Macedonia, signed in September a million dollar deal with a leading US lobby firm to push Greece's national agenda in Washington, according to US Justice Department documents.
Cash-strapped" Greece turning up the Diplomatic Hellenic Heat !
September 2018 - Greek Embassy in Washington DC hires US lobby firm DLA Piper at $75,000 USD per month retainer to lobby US government over Greece's national interests. That's $900,000 USD -close to a million dollars in official influence peddling.

MACEDONIAN REACTION:
Mr Mark Branov, a long time Canadian Macedonian advocate and an international education consultant by profession, gave this statement to TEAM UZUNOV Blog:
"It seems like Athens will spare no amount of borrowed German Euros in pursuit of age old strategic goals, including the cultural genocide of Aegean Macedonians [ethnic Macedonians in Greece].
"And considering U.S. dominance in the [Balkan] region, many of the major decisions actually take place in Washington, a town where money talks."
The US Justice Department's FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) website lists no active US lobbyists engaged by the Republic of Macedonia.
Greece and Bulgaria deny the existence of a Macedonian identity and has blocked the Republic of Macedonia from joining the European Union and NATO. A pro US government was installed in Macedonia in early 2017 led by Prime Minister Zoran Zaev who has signed a number of controversial agreements with neighbouring Bulgaria and Greece which aims to erase Macedonian identity in order to satisfy Bulgarian and Greek demands; both staunch allies of the US.
In 1912 after nearly five centuries of Ottoman Turkish occupation, Macedonia was partitioned among Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia. All three pursued a brutal colonial campaign of assimilating Macedonians by force. The part of Macedonia under Serbian colonial rule became after World War II a republic within Tito's Federal Communist Yugoslavia. In 1991 it declared independence from Yugoslavia and Greece from day one has blocked its entry into the EU and NATO.
Macedonia signed the controversial Prespa Agreement earlier this year with Greece which will see Macedonia change its name to North Macedonia and remove "Macedonian" as a specific nationality or ethnicity. This has angered many Macedonians who boycotted in large numbers a referendum held on 30 September this year to accept the Agreement.
On 19 October under murky circumstances the government managed to secure two-thirds majority in a parliamentary vote to "open up" the Macedonian constitution to make the necessary changes to satisfy Greek demands made in the Prespa Agreement.

Frederic Delarue is a world-renowned music composer, inspirational author, spiritual teacher, motivational speaker, angel communicator, and currently resides in California.
"My hands play what the Angels sing in my ears" quotes Frederic.
Frederic was born on a French farm in the year of 1963. Having had a Near Death Experience at age 12, becoming temporarily paralyzed at age 30, and later being visited by Jesus the day after a car accident at age 40, Frederic Delarue, a native of Chartres, France, has had many opportunities to see and experience the Blessings and the Light out of the tunnel.
His music is directly inspired by the Angels, soothes the body while uplifting the soul, relaxes, and focuses the mind on positive thoughts. His heartfelt music composed with a moving sincerity helps guide the listener by remembering to live the true radiance of their being.
He has also been blessed with the ability to play "The Music of Your Soul", a personalized CD that is created on demand based on the musical vibrations of someone's full name given to them at birth. Listening to your own vibrations helps to recollect and reconnect with the core essence of your being. It is an instant alignment while listening to the music of your soul.
Frederic founded a non-profit organization: Cathedral of Angels, Inc. in 2007 to provide free Concerts of soothing and healing music to anyone with any type of challenges. This organization is currently awaiting new board members to help move it forward.
Frederic has also extended his gift to guiding anyone who finds him, to purchase the right home for them or their family, or to sell their present home so they can move forward in their life. He has a California Real Estate Broker license.


Tips from buying the right router table to building your own router table to setting and your router table fence. The capabilities of modern router tables continue to grow, and the ability of woodwork to take advantage of the new capabilities requires picking up on new techniques currently available.
The differences between a router bit and a shaper cutter is rather large, and while they both serve the same basic function, the methods of use are quite large. This is just a split circular tapered ring which squeezes against the bit, as the collet nut is tightened. Some of these steel blanks form the cutter as well, while others have the same shaft and cutter head, but with the addition of a carbide tips brazed to them.
These mistakes and their solutions are not in any particular order of importance. However they do have a lot of information that you can digest before you make your purchasing decision. I am also including some really excellent articles that take you through features and buying decisions to help you make the right choice. I hope that by having a ton of information it will make you a better woodworker and a better purchaser in the future.
I get questions related to router table fences all the time. There are two major types of router table fences, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Fixed fences in their essence started out as a hunk of wood clamped to the table. If the wood was straight, you enjoyed good results, if it was not, you suffered. Split fences are a fancier version of a fixed fence.
I needed a special fence for routing lock miter joints. I found one designed by Norman Ellis who sent it in as a tip to another website. The fence I made below is 7" tall. It can be clamped to your regular router table fence. I jointed the top and bottom edges of this fence making sure that they were parallel.
For as little as it takes to get set up, and the short time it takes to acquire skill at using a router table, it's easy to see why this venerable workhorse is often one of the first and most important tool purchases that a woodworker ever makes. Below, we'll take a quick look at the common woodworking procedures that you can master within the first few weeks of owning a router table.
Learning how to build a woodworking router table will save you money and bring with it a great sense of pride. A well crafted, router table can be built to suit your individual height, made to hold as many router bits as you need, but most importantly it can be customized to fit where you want it.
Here is a design for a stand that I really like. Part of the reason I like it so much is that it is very stable and very easy to build. The other is, well, it was my idea. You can make this stand out of anything that you have laying around the shop. It will work with plywood, hardwood, soft woods, and MDF. I have built some with MDF and then laminated over it to give it a touch of class.
Whether you're building a new router table or updating your existing one, the main concern is fitting the router itself. Most shops prefer to go with models that allow for two collets, one for 1/4" bit shanks and another for 1/2". Some cabinetmakers like to mount a plunge router under their table as their work calls for many dadoes and rabbets that are plowed in various passes.

Polygene control and trait dominance in death-feigning syndrome in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
Kentarou Matsumura, Takahisa Miyatake
Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science
Academic Field of Environmental and Life Science
Death-feigning behavior is an anti-predatory technique used in several animal taxa and often correlates with inhibited movements (i.e., death-feigning syndrome). We performed a reciprocal crossing among strains exhibiting a genetically longer (L-strain) and shorter (S-strain) duration of death feigning. Then, we investigated related heritable factors in F1 and F2 populations. We also evaluated movement activities, which negatively responded to artificial selection for death feigning in T. castaneum. Our results indicated that death feigning occurred more frequently and for shorter periods in the F1 population. However, in the F2 population, death feigning and movement exhibited continuous segregation. Although the distribution of each trait value in the F2 generation differed from that of the parental generation, no individuals transgressing the distribution of trait values in the parental generation emerged from the F2 generation. Besides, chi-square analysis of the observed death feigning and movement of F1 and F2 progenies rejected the hypothesis of mono-major gene inheritance. These results suggested that the death-feigning syndrome was polygenically controlled, indicating the usefulness of reciprocal crossing experiments in assessing the quantitative inheritance of behavioral traits.

"Don't follow a trend, follow your heart" – Krist Novoselic. As this blog post is dedicated to Spring Summer Trends for 2015 (known here on as SS15), I wanted to point out the above important quote. YummoMummo is simply here to inspire and encourage you to have fun with style. But when it comes to seasonal trends, well honestly, it can get a bit overwhelming. As always, you don't have to follow every trend, just incorporate what works for you and what you like into your everyday wardrobe and you will find the style /trend that suits you for SS15. If you need to catch up on my previous post about Printed Pants and Joggers, click HERE.
In statement prints, you will see bursts of color in bright hues of forest green, azure blue and fiery red, as well as botanical, tribal, and even photographic prints (see examples below).These can be worn in easy-to-wear shift dresses, maxi dresses and midi skirts (calf length).
Example of a botanical photographic print.
Example of a tribal print maxi dress with azure blue.
Example of a midi-skirt with a bursts of color. I think this would look awesome with a crisp white tank top (singlet top for my Aussie crowd).
Chicwish Neon Light Pleated Midi Skirt. $49.
I know not everyone is into a chunky statement necklace (like some of us), so here is something a little more understated. Think also about Neon in heels, sandals, handbags, clutches, earrings. Accessories, really!
I feel like this one ticks a few of the trend boxes with the bursts of color and neon.
Boden USA Sequin Collar Top. Approx $103.
For details on this outfit, check out YummoMummo's Polyvore sets HERE.
I was already way ahead of my time. You do know YummoMummo is the Lipstick Queen, don't you? Just look at how many lipsticks I carry in my handbag HERE. A Spring 2015 Make up trend is striking shades of classic red.
Yosi Samra Samantha Burnished Woven Flat. $69. Free shipping.
Micheal Antonio Lander $49. Free shipping.
Jessica Simpson Mandalaye $69. Free shipping.
Madden Girl Revivee $49. Ships free.
Loving this post! Thanks for the tips. Totally eyeing that midi skirt with bubbles of color. It reminds me of lightening bugs!
Totes agree Suzanne, very cute!
Absolutely loving this post! I really love printed trousers, wore them all summer last year and cant wait to get them out again this spring.
