Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab11039 in the following tested applications.
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2) is a membrane phospholipid that has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including synaptic vesicle recycling and signal transduction pathways. PLCD4 hydrolyzes PIP2 to generate 2 second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3).

Three months after fighting ends in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian and Azerbaijani communities are still recovering
byEvan Lindsay
Armenians and Azerbaijani share different perspectives, post ceasefire
On Nov. 9, 2020 a ceasefire agreement was signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The deal was brokered by Russia and ended 44 days of warfare in Nagorno-Karabakh (known to Armenians as Artsakh). Now, both Armenian and Azerbaijani communities across the globe are dealing with the conflict's fallout.
The capitulation by the Armenian government determined a complete victory for Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will hold on to the land it took during the conflict and Armenia agreed to withdraw from several other adjacent areas.
Ismayil Alakbarov is a political analyst and one of the board members of the Network of Azerbaijani Canadians.
"We feel honoured and we feel very happy that justice is restored. We feel a responsibility on our shoulders to help this region to bring peace and stability," said Alakbarov.
"We as Canadians want to help the region," Alkabarov continued. "We as the Azerbaijani community and the Armenian community living in Canada need to prove that it's here in terms of reconciliation we need to build inter-community here and bring this model to the region."
While the Azerbaijani people are celebrating a victory, Armenians are disappointed.
Sevag Belian is the executive director of the Armenian National Committee of Canada.
"Armenians feel absolutely betrayed by the international community … Most countries did not lift a finger, or simply they kept it within the boundaries of some empathetic statements by saying, you know, they're concerned and they would like for peace to reign," said Belian.
Belian says many Armenians are feeling betrayed by their own government as well.
"They weren't being transparent enough, and they weren't being open enough in terms of how the negotiations were ongoing … But we can't vent our fury at the Armenian government. As Canadians, we can only share that with our government here," Belian continued.
Fighting being brought to an end is a good thing. But at the moment it seems like both sides — both in their home countries and here in Canada — have issues with the agreement.
"There was a very lopsided announcement, a lot of the grievances of the Armenian people and regions, the indigenous population of the land has not been addressed in the announcement … There are many prisoners of war that are still being held captive by Azerbaijan," Belian said.
For the Azerbaijani people, the issues come from the new Russian military presence in Nagorno-Karabakh. The ceasefire agreement will bring nearly 2,000 Russian peacekeepers into the area.
"Of course, we don't feel good about it, honestly Azerbaijani people are not happy with having Russian peacekeepers and military presence inside of Azerbaijan … It's not welcome. We don't want any other country's military presence in our home country, but on the other hand, it is good for the security of the people living there," said Alakbarov.
It's difficult to tell if the ceasefire will lead to lasting peace within the region. At the time the deal was signed, Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh were under intense pressure, having just lost Shusha (known as Shushi in Armenian) the second-largest city in Nagorno-Karabakh.
While the situation remains delicate neither side wants a war to continue.
"Let's sit down let's talk, let's bring forward our issues. What is wrong with coexistence together," said Alakbarov.
Armenians also want peace talks to be revisited.
"We want peace to hold but whether lasting peace can be achieved based on the provisions that are included in the Nov. 9 ceasefire announcement is hard to tell because a lot of issues in the region were not addressed," said Belian.
But Azerbaijani people feel hesitant to give up anything they won in November.
"If Armenians do not want war, if they want to have peace and stability they should forget about putting forward territorial claims. They should accept Azerbaijan citizenship and integrate into Azerbaijani society," said Alakbarov.
"The president of Azerbaijan declared the highest level of guarantee to their security as citizens." Alakbarov continued.
Despite tensions remaining high, a meeting was held on Jan. 11 between the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladamir Putin met for the first time since the ceasefire agreement. The three parties discussed reopening transit routes between the regions in an effort to return stability to the region.
"Now having achieved this peace deal there is a good and excellent opportunity for this region to reconcile … This could be a good opportunity for the region to integrate economically," said Alakbarov.
For Armenians however, this is not the primary issue.
"I think it's pointless to speak about opening back trade routes and transportation links … The issue of our cultural heritage, and all the issues that are related to that none of these were discussed," said Belian

Even though I talk a lot about phones, computers, cars and other very technical sounding stuff that is not all that technology covers. For instance, now I want to talk about something very close to my heart, my stomach. Even though it may be the simplest of things at its basics, the production of food has become a highly technologically based enterprise. When you consider the huge and fast-growing population we have in this world with a limited amount of resources we need to use every trick in the book to be able to fill as many mouths as we possibly can. Even then, we are failing to achieve even that basic goal.
Technology in the food industry has drastically increased our production of supposedly edible foodstuffs to fill that bottomless pit (literally a bottomless pit as our digestive system is a long tube. In that respect humans are just a very oddly shaped doughnut) we all strive to fill at least three times a day. Notice I used the phrase supposedly edible? This is because there are some foods we eat which are not natural in the slightest. Even some which you think are entirely natural are in fact genetically modified.
Take corn for example. A staple in many of our foods. You have probably heard of and try to steer clear of this genetically modified corn which seems to be going around. I will let you into a little secret. All corn that we eat, every single yellow kernel is genetically modified. Through selective breeding, we have arrived at succulent buttery nodules from a small barely digestible ancestor. The same goes for a summer favourite which is watermelon. That sweet red stuff just full of juice we love to eat? The original is not like that as that red part, called the placenta, is actually very small. Keep that in mind next time you bite into a juicy red watermelon placenta (MUAHAHAHAHAHA). Through selective breeding, ie. genetic modification, we arrive at the summer fruit which is a staple of many picnics and is actually vegetable of the cucumber family.
There are many other foods which are genetically modified in this manner do you know of any? I'll give you a hint, it's long, orange and hard. Tell us what genetically modified foods you know of in the comments below.


Annotation: The report discusses the planning and implementation of a course in police science sponsored by the Des Moines Police Department (Iowa) and offered by the Des Moines Technical High School for students interested in police careers.
Abstract: Through a discussion of the planning procedures used in Des Moines, guidelines are offered regarding finding a teacher with previous experience in some area of law enforcement, the use of texts and the need for improved texts aimed at the high school student, the use and procurement of additional resource material and reference books, and planning field trips, such as rides in squad cars. An evaluation of the program concludes that due to the success of the pilot project, the course has become part of the regular curriculum. Also, the course improved the image and understanding of law enforcement agencies and personnel among high school students increased student knowledge of the problems and functions of law enforcement, and seems to have stimulated student interest in making a career in police work. Problems were noted in screening students in inadequate counseling, and in scarce resource material at appropriate levels of instruction. The course outline and objectives, examinations, and related material are appended.


someone needs to reindex certain terms!! or leave it as is!! LOL!!!
I wonder if this ranking (and many others) are influenced by bots or other artificial things. I just don't believe that Bush is #1 for that search term by end users writing about him, linking to other sites with the word Failure in them and eventually linking to the whitehouse.gov site. Maybe it is true, but I don't buy it 100%.
I also believe click fraud on the adsense side of the house may be a lot bigger than anyone is talking about. On my own site (carlhutzler.com) I get 800 or so hits a day, but only 50 or so are real people so it seems. That is an awful lot of automated something. And whatever the automation is, it does click on links on an average of 3-4 per visit.
Google has also been settling click fraud suits for $MM very quickly - not much of a fight, keeping the press low, etc.


Christopher Bates, Canadian menswear designer of the moment (and then some) wrapped up this season's Toronto Men's Fashion Week (Friday, February 27th) with his Fall 2015 collection, Modular, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
There was a definite air of excitement as masses of people overflowed this 'must see' show. His looks were sleek, defined and strong, made for the man with modern control.
Geometry, architecture and anatomy were the central bolts of the show, which Bates worked into the clothing with his use of lamb suede, perforated denim, wools, and Italian leather. Needless to say, the man has amazing attention to detail and technical skill.
On the back wall of the runway, it read that the line was 'Designed and Produced in Italy'. This referred to Bates' recent move back to Milan (where he originally studied fashion at Istituto Marangoni), where he decidedly went with the intention of growing his brand on a more international level. That seems to have been a good choice as this collection was very tight and cohesive and ultimately, the best show of TOM.

Saddam Sentenced to Death by Hanging for massacre of Shi'tes
Saddam Trial: An Iraqi court has sentenced former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to death by hanging for crimes against humanity.
Iraq's High Tribunal convicted Saddam of ordering the killing of Iraqi Shi'ites in the village of Dujail in 1982.
Reporters watching the court proceedings say Saddam appeared shaken after hearing the verdict. He shouted "God is Great" and "Long live Iraq" as the judge ordered him to to die.
The court also delivered judgments against seven former Saddam aides charged in connection with the Dujail killings.
Two of Saddam's co-defendants also were sentenced to death, including his half-brother (Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti) and the former chief judge of Saddam's Revolutionary Court (Awad Hamed al-Bander). All the death sentences will be automatically appealed.
Iraq Violence: Iraq's Interior Ministry says Iraqi police have killed more than 50 insurgents in fierce fighting south of Baghdad.
Iraqi officials say the insurgents were killed by Iraqi security forces acting independently of American troops.
The U.S. military has not confirmed details of the battle.
Separately, Iraqi police say insurgents fired mortar shells at a mainly Sunni district of Baghdad before dawn today (Sunday), killing at least six people and wounding more than 20.
US Pol: President Bush heads to (the western U.S. states of) Nebraska and Kansas today (Sunday) - part of a cross-country swing to support Republican Party candidates ahead of legislative elections Tuesday.
Some analysts predict significant election-day losses for ruling Republicans, mainly because of widespread voter dissatisfaction with Iraq.
A recent (CBS news network) poll indicates the Iraq war is the most important concern of voters, followed by the economy and jobs, illegal immigration, and terrorism.
Mr. Bush acknowledged voter concerns in a campaign speech in (Greeley) Colorado Saturday. But he said the United States will not run from what he called the central front in the war on terror. He also said opposition Democrats had no plan for improving the situation in Iraq.
Rumsfeld Military: A group of independent newspapers serving the U.S. armed forces is calling on President Bush to fire Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
In an editorial to appear in Monday's editions, the four privately owned military newspapers say Rumsfeld has lost credibility with military leaders, the troops, Congress and the American public.
The newspapers say Rumsfeld's strategy in Iraq has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised.
(Alex Neill) The managing editor of ("Army Times") one of the four independent military newspapers says the editorial statement is not intended to influence Tuesday's U.S. congressional elections, but was written following President Bush's announcement last week that he intends to keep Rumsfeld in the top job at the Pentagon.

WHY WE TELL STORIES
"I've been tithing ten percent every year, just like every good Christian should do, or so I liked to believe. But in reality, I was giving out of abundance… I was not sacrificing anything!" – Rick Caldwell
September 25, 2016 was an average Sunday morning at Clear Creek Community Church's West Campus. The Friendswood Jr. High auditorium filled with people who greeted one another and quickly found their seats. The message that day, "A Beautiful Life and Money," discussed the importance of giving, and challenged the congregation to be generous with all of their resources. Among the listeners were Rick and Erin Caldwell. They were attending the service as they usually did. What they didn't know was that this particular Sunday would be different than most others, because God would use the message as a catalyst to grow their faith in ways they could never expect.
Earlier in the year, Rick and Erin had committed to take their relationship with Jesus to a new level. Rick recalls being ready for a change: "For many years I had remained spiritually dormant; diligently going to church every week, but doing very little outside of church on my own time."
In January 2016, he and Erin decided they would read through the Bible in a year using the online reading plan, readthroughthebible.org.
"The read through the Bible in a year challenge has been amazing. I've tried to read the Bible before, but I always got bogged down and quit. But this year I stuck with it," Rick recalls. They also took the Systematic Theology class offered through the church. Rick enjoyed the class and the ways it strengthened his faith. He adds, "It has had a profound impact on my view of God, which is affecting my relationship with God—in good ways!"
Rick and Erin left church that September morning and continued through their lives as they normally would.
"It's interesting that it didn't really impact me during the sermon, " Rick explains. "I definitely didn't go home changed that day, until a day or two later, Luke 21 came up in the online reading plan."
"Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, "Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her property, put in all she had to live on." -Luke 21:1-4 (ESV)
This story penetrated Rick's heart in a new way.
"I've read this story so many times that I had become numb to it…but this time, God truly spoke to me," Rick remembers, feeling his heart challenged. "I've been tithing ten percent every year, just like every good Christian should do, or so I liked to believe. But in reality, I was giving out of abundance just like the rich people in this story. I was not sacrificing anything!"
Although Rick recognized that he had been abundantly blessed, he had never considered himself rich in the sense of flaunting money. He described himself as living modestly by living in a moderate home, driving inexpensive cars, and not making any extravagant purchases. However, he identified a number of investment accounts as something that was keeping him from fully trusting God and giving up control.
"My biggest idol was security, and that security was manifested in my nest egg of mutual fund investments," Rick said. "Most of these investment securities had come from inheritance and family gifts, which I did nothing to earn. But even the money that I had earned, I am coming to understand, is not from myself, but is a gift from God."
Feeling both challenged and convicted, Rick decided it was time to truly trust God like he never had before, "I felt that God had called me to give up my security blanket."
The more Rick thought about giving up his savings, the more confident he felt in the decision. Passages like Matthew 6:19-20 stand out in his mind:
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on Earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (ESV)
"I want my treasure to be in heaven!" Rick explains with excitement, "But the truth was that I was not laying up anything in heaven. It was all here on earth."
Rick remembered the Proverbs message that first inspired this bold obedience.
"During the sermon on money, one point that stuck out was that we shouldn't ask how much we should give, but rather how much we should keep."
That is exactly what the Caldwell's decided to do. Rick and Erin prayerfully discerned that they should give away all of their non-retirement investments, which totaled about one third of their life savings. "Truly this is very risky by the standards of this world," Rick says. "But I want to put my trust in God, and no longer 'lean on my own understanding.'"
After deciding how much, the Caldwell's asked God to show them who specifically they should bless with the resources they had been given. Their decision to boldly follow God's direction in their financial giving has led them to generously give to local organizations like Anchor Point, an establishment that provides resources for at-risk pregnant women and helps them choose life, as well as an international organization called Christ's Hope, which cares for AIDS-affected children and their families in Africa.
Today, the Caldwell's are listening to God as he directs them to continue to give. They're excited to move forward in this journey to trust God fully.
"I don't know what comes next in this crazy ride, which makes it exciting, but also scary," Rick said. "I don't feel like I'm there, in terms of truly trusting God rather than myself…but by finally taking some action with my security, I feel like the ball has started rolling, and I will continue relying on God to keep the momentum going."

Smart Growth and the Quality of Life
by Wendell Cox 12/20/2010
The idea of "smart growth" should be like mom and apple pie. But take a closer look and you find, for the most part, that smart growth policies often have unintended consequences that are anything but smart.
If housing is unaffordable, the cost of living is high and people are leaving, it probably means that a state rates higher in smart growth policies. That's the story from an analysis of the new Smart Growth America state ratings on transportation policies the organization believes would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The new ratings are based upon strategies recommended in Moving Cooler, a smart growth oriented report authored by Cambridge Systematics in 2009 (Note 1).
The new Smart Growth America ratings and the Moving Cooler strategies relied, in large measure, on strategies that would force higher population densities, virtually stop development on and beyond the urban fringe, and seek to, in the immortal words of Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood, "coerce" people out of cars.
Yet when the new ratings are arrayed alongside measures of the quality of life, such as housing affordability and the cost of living, smart growth shows its less attractive side. You can see this, for example, in patterns of domestic migration states with the highest Smart Growth America scores also suffer the highest net domestic out-migration. .
Quality of Life Indicators: The following analysis compares the Smart Growth America ratings of the states with quality of life indicators, which include lower house prices, a lower cost of living and a greater net domestic migration (Note 2).
Housing Affordability: Housing affordability is measured using a median value multiple (Note 3), which is the median house value by the median household income (from the 2009 American Community Survey). Economic research generally indicates that smart growth land use policies lead to higher house prices and lower levels of housing affordability. A lower housing affordability score means that housing is more affordable, and is an indication of a better quality of life. Generally, the median value multiple was 3.0 or below until the housing bubble and remains at that level in some states.
Cost of Living: The overall cost of living was examined using regional price parities developed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (US Department of Commerce) in the form of "regional price parities." Regional price parities are the domestic equivalent of "purchasing power parities," which are used to adjust personal income and gross domestic product data between nations. A lower score means that the cost of living is lower and is an indication of a better quality of life.
Net Domestic Migration: Net domestic migration rates are for the period of 2000 to 2009 and based upon Bureau of the Census data and is calculated as a percentage of the 2000 population. A higher score means that more people are moving in than moving out. A state with a higher score is more attractive to movers than states with lower scores, which is also an indication of a better quality of life.
The Top (Mostly Bottom) Ten
Generally, the states with the highest Smart Growth America ratings perform the worst by these quality of life indicators.
California is first in Smart Growth America score, at 82 (out of a possible 100). Yet, California ranks 49th in housing affordability, 48th in cost of living and 45th in net domestic migration, having lost 4.4 percent of its population (1.5 million) to other states since 2009. California's average rank among the quality of life indicators is 47, essentially a mirror image of its Smart Growth America rating. Only New York has a worse average ranking (49th).
Maryland is second in Smart Growth America score, at 77. However, Maryland ranks 42nd in housing affordability, 41st in the cost of living and 36th in net domestic migration, having lost 1.8 percent of its residents (nearly 100,000) to other states since 2000. Maryland's average rank is 40th on the quality of life indicators.
New Jersey ranks third, with a Smart Growth America score of 75. New Jersey ranks 45th in housing affordability, 47th in the cost of living and 47th in domestic migration, having lost 4.5 percent of its population (450,000) to other states during the decade. Among the top ten, only California has a worse average ranking than New Jersey's, at 46th on the quality of life indicators.
Connecticut ranks fourth, with a Smart Growth America score of 70. Connecticut ranks 40th in housing affordability, 46th in cost of living and 40th in domestic migration, having lost 2.8 percent (nearly 100,000) of its population. Connecticut's average rank is 42th in the quality of life indicators.
Washington is fifth in Smart Growth America score, at 68. Washington ranks 44th in housing affordability and 40th in cost of living. Washington ranked much higher, however, in domestic migration at 14th, with a gain of 4.0 percent (240,000). Washington, like other western states, has been the recipient of strong migration from even more expensive coastal California. Washington's average rank is 33rd in the quality of life indicators.
Oregon ranks sixth, with a Smart Growth America score of 65. The state ranks 47th in housing affordability (trailing Hawaii, California and New York), but has a higher average cost of living ranking (31st) and in domestic migration, principally because it, like Washington is a favored destination by people fleeing California.
Seventh ranked Massachusetts (64) scores much more consistently in the quality of life indicators, at 46th in housing affordability, 45th in the cost of living, 44th in net domestic migration and 45th overall.
Neighboring Rhode Island (61) ranks eighth and is also a consistent performer, ranking 43rd in housing affordability and net domestic migration, 44th in the cost of living and 43rd overall.
Delaware and Minnesota share 9th place with a Smart Growth America score of 59. Delaware's average ranking is 28th, and Minnesota's average ranking is 29th. Delaware's ranking, near the top of the bottom 25 is driven by a high net domestic migration rate. Minnesota scores similarly in all quality of life indicators.
Two states scoring the worst in the quality of life indicators were notably absent in the Top (Mostly Bottom) Ten. New York's average rank was 49, compared to its Smart Growth America rank of 21. Hawaii's average quality of life indicator rank was 46 and its Smart Growth America rank was 15. Some of the worst housing affordability and highest costs of living drove their low quality of life scores.
States with Higher Quality of life Indicators
The five states with the lowest Smart Growth America scores are Nebraska, North Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi and Arkansas. These states surely qualify as "flyover" country, being well removed from the more elite coasts. Yet, each of these states scores considerably better than Smart Growth America's top ten states, with some of the nation's best housing affordability and lowest costs of living. Slightly more people moved out of these states than moved in. However, bottom ranked Arkansas (Smart Growth America score of 2) attracted 75,000 net domestic residents, almost 1.6 million more than Smart Growth America's top ranked California and 170,000 more than second ranked Maryland.
Texas (15th), North Carolina (16th) and Georgia (17th) were among the higher scoring large states in the quality of life indicators. The high Texas ranking resulted from higher rankings in housing affordability and net domestic migration. Georgia and North Carolina had among the highest rankings in net domestic migration.
For fun, I did a quick statistical analysis, which indicated that inferior housing affordability and a higher cost of living are associated with a higher Smart Growth America score, at a 99 percent level of confidence (Note 4).
This relationship is evident in Table 1, which is a summary by Smart Growth America scores. Housing affordability and the cost of living all improve as the Smart Growth America score declines. At this level, a similar relationship is evident in the net domestic migration rate, with the exception of states with a Smart Growth America score of under 20. The states with the highest Smart Growth America ratings (60 and over) lost 2.5 million domestic migrants, while the states with scores from 40 to 60 lost 500,000. States with Smart Growth America ratings under 40 gained 2.5 million domestic migrants, more people than live in all of the nation's municipalities except for New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Table 2 provides detailed data for all states.

Note 2: There are additional quality of life indicators, such as shorter work trip travel times, less intense traffic congestion, less intense air pollution, more living space, etc.
Note 3: This measure is based upon median house value, which is the only data available at the state level. The median value multiple is different from the Median Multiple (median house price divided by median household income), which is widely used in metropolitan area analysis (such as in the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey).
Note 4: Details of the regression analysis: The dependent variable was the Smart Growth America score. The independent variables were the cost of living indicator and the domestic migration rate. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.55. (The positive relationship to the cost of living was strong, with a probability of only 1 in 10,000 that the result could have occurred by chance. The indicated association with the net migration rate was weak; the chance association cannot be ruled out).

Smart Growth equals dysfunctional density, unless.....
Submitted by PhilBest on Sat, 01/22/2011 - 21:56.
Smart Growth actually causes "dense sprawl" or "dysfunctional density".
Alain Bertaud's studies years ago, pointed out that this is due to "spatial distribution of density" being distorted. Density PER SE does not correlate to efficient urban form, it is the "spatial distribution of density" that is vital. Urban growth constraints actually push this "spatial distribution" in the wrong direction even within the city (let alone causing "leapfrog commutes).
If you left the urban growth constraints out, and kept land prices low, all the other planned objectives of "Smart Growth" WOULD happen as intended, rather than achieving the wrong outcomes. If you merely abolished minimum lot sizes and height restraints, urban form would rapidly achieve remarkable efficiency gains. Urban planners are making a colossal mistake in insisting that urban growth boundaries, which force land prices up, are an essential part of "smart growth". They are NOT; worse, they are a REDUCER of beneficial outcomes. If land had stayed cheaper, there would ALWAYS have been a LOT MORE "densification", in efficient locations rather than in inefficient locations that actually INCREASE VMT.
I don't see strong cause and effect relationship.

The out migration is more likely to be caused by low housing affordability and low life quality such as congestion. Smart Growth policy is a response to these problems rather than a cause, hopefully a solution too. The article seems to suggest the opposite.
For those high ranking smart growth states, without smart growth, the out migration might be even worse.

The William Herschel Telescope (WHT) is the second largest telescope of Roque de Los Muchachos in La Palma. With a primary mirror of 4.2 m in diameter it is also the second largest telescope in Europe only after the Great Canary Telescope (primary mirror 10.4 m). At present this telescope is of modest size, nevertheless remains one of the most productive in scientific publications of the world. It has a f2.8 focal ratio and is Cassegrain-Nasmyth type. The William Herschel telescope can be visited at concerted visits. To book access: link to reservations at lapalmastars.com. History The UK's Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) began planning the telescope in 1974 with a final budget of 10 million pounds. In 1981, 20% of the SERC negotiated a 20% stake with Holland, so the telescope belongs to the United Kingdom and the rest to the Netherlands. The first light of the telescope was on June 1, 1981 using the instrument TAURUS-2. Results The most outstanding results extracted with data obtained in this telescope are: * The discovery of the first evidence of a supermassive black hole (Sgr A*) in the center of the Milky Way. * The first optical observation of a gamma ray burst Curiosities * The telescope takes the name of the astronomer William Herschel (Germany 1738 - England 1822), a musician without scientific formation who began his interest in the astronomy to the 35 years of age. This astronomer discovered the planet Uranus with a 1.2m reflecting telescope that built the same along with his sister since he could not afford to buy a refractor telescope of similar size to the use at the time. Herschel was also a pioneer in the design of the azimuth mount that is

The Gran Telescopio de Canarias on the island of La Palma is currently the largest optical-infrared telescope in the world and one of the most advanced. The primary mirror consists of 36 hexagonal segments of 1.90 m vertices, 8 cm thick, and 470 kg, which act together as a single mirror. The GTC collecting surface is equivalent to that of a telescope with a mirror diameter of 10.4 m. The focal length is 169.9 m and therefore the maximum field of view is 20 arcmin in diameter (about the size of the full Moon). History After years in the drawing boards of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, in 1994 GRANTECAN SA when it was founded, with the aim of designing and building the world's largest telescope: the Gran Telescopio Canarias. Subsequently, agreements were signed with the Government of Mexico, for two of their universities to participate in the project and also joined as a partner the United States, through the University of Florida. The telescope cost no less than 130 million euros and has an annual budget of nearly 9 million Euros. The construction of the telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos on the island of La Palma, began in 2000 and the start of the science phase began operating in March 2009. The telescope time is shared by Spanish scientists (90%), Mexico (5%) and the U.S. (5%), the same percentage who contributed to the initial project. Curiosities We can compare the power of sight of the telescope to four million human eyes. It could distinguish the headlights of a car at about 20,000 miles away. The metal structure of the dome is assembled with screws 16,000 and 43,000 metal nuts. The mirrors are cleaned with powdered snow made of carbon dioxide. There are

Northamptonshire Milton Keynes Newsroom
The team of people that make innovation possible
Scott Wharton - General Manager at Amazon's Milton Keynes fulfilment centre
Everyone knows the Amazon name, but few know about the company behind the boxes. How would you describe Amazon's corporate culture?
Operations is at the heart of the Amazon business. We've a talented bunch of people that work here, from age 18 to 70+, working in roles from customer fulfilment to operations and area managers and we've super smart engineers and professionals in safety, IT, HR and finance. Regardless of role, each Amazonian is completely focused on working hard, having fun, and making history. Amazonians are leaders who create, build and take ownership to deliver for customers every day, and we have a lot of fun doing it. This ethos really shines through when you visit our buildings and meet our people. From Summer BBQs, to ice-skating trips to team football matches to live performers in the fulfilment centre, my team come up with some brilliant ideas of how they like to celebrate the work we do!
What role does technology play behind the scenes?
What we do here is actually quite simple, we receive inventory from vendors and small and medium sized businesses, we stow the items ready for customers to order and we pick, pack and ship those items to the customer – but all this takes some of the best people, the brightest minds, a bunch of crazy calculations and innovative technology. Technology helps our team to do their job from knowing where in the building to find the item a customer has ordered to selecting the right size box to ship the order to you, to making sure the parcel reaches you on time. Come and visit Amazon one of our FC's on a Public Tour to see the magic behind the scenes for yourself! Visit Amazon.co.uk/fctours to register.
Can you see an autonomous future for Amazon, or will people always play a role in fulfillment?
Technology plays a vital role in what we do and how we deliver for customers at the speed they expect, but it's a symphony of humans and machines working together that makes this possible and that will continue.
Fulfilment centres recruit on a massive scale, what would you say is the biggest challenge in finding the right people?
Everyone at Amazon is a leader whatever their role and we need leaders who collaborate, individuals that want to own the outcome, problem solvers that really want to solve, people who can dream in scale, creative thinkers who increase efficiencies. It's the team of people who make innovation possible. Right now in Bedfordshire we're recruiting for more than 100 managerial roles in Finance, HR, Safety and Engineering and in our building we have Operations Managers, apprentices and team members who pick, pack and ship customer orders, so there's really something for everyone whatever their experience, background or career aspirations. Visit amazon.jobs
How important is it for you to be based in Milton Keynes?
Amazon has a number of operations facilities in Milton Keynes and the Bedfordshire area, it's a great location for us with excellent transport and business links to London and across the country. I'm really proud that Amazon employ thousands of people in the local area and enjoy working alongside an amazing local team who deliver a fantastic level of service for our customers.
We've more than 1,000 permanent employees working at this site and we take on many more temporary and seasonal employees as we move into our busy Christmas period. Employees receive competitive pay and comprehensive benefits, with pay starting at £10.50 for all full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal employees. There's also a comprehensive benefits package, including private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection, subsidised meals and an employee discount – which combined are worth more than £700 annually – as well as a company pension plan. What I'm most proud of though is that Amazon also offers employees an innovative programme called Career Choice. We want everyone at Amazon to pursue their dream job and that's why we're offering funded training courses in a range of interests and industries. Career Choice pre-pays 95% of tuition and associated fees for nationally recognised courses, up to £8,000 over four years meaning people like Jennifer, in my team whose dream is to be a HGV driver, can make this a reality.
What year did you open?
Amazon first opened in Milton Keynes back in 2000. Lots has changed since then in many ways, though some things are quite the same, like Janhangir, Gilbert, Andrea and Ricky to name just a few, who I'm proud to say are still with us, working hard, having fun, making history!

Mercedes-Benz's newest 2018 Cabriolet is the fifth member of its E-Class convertibles. Aside from being entirely renewed within the space of a year, Mercedes-Benz is continuing its tradition of high-calibre cabriolets with a classic fabric soft-top. When the top is up, the E-Class Cabriolet has a silhouette similar to that of the E-Class Coupé. The close ties between the two models are apparent in their shared design language.
A striking front section with a low-positioned diamond radiator grille and centrally located star, LED High Performance headlamps (or optional high-resolution Multibeam LED headlamps), a drawn-out bonnet with powerdomes and fully retractable side windows underline the dynamic looks of the Cabriolet. The tail-lights resemble the glow given off by a jet engine. As a new feature, the tail-lights also put on a special show for the driver when they approach or leave the car.
A visual entity comprising anodised, polished aluminium (AMG Line in matt aluminium) is created by the trim frame on the A-pillars and front windscreen along with the shoulder-line trim strip and a wide trim finish that surrounds the soft-top compartment. The third brake light is integrated into this frame.
The fully automatic fabric soft-top is available in dark brown, dark blue, dark red or black. Its multi-layered structure with sophisticated insulation reduces wind and driving noise, which makes it easy for the occupants to hear each other talk, even when driving at high speeds. Derived from that of the S-Class Cabriolet, the soft-top also meets high quality standards in terms of durability and operation. It can be fully opened and closed in 20 seconds when travelling at a speed of up to 50km/h.
The upper section of the dashboard appears to be hovering, while the cabin's high-quality finish emphasises the car's sporty, stylish character.
Compared with its predecessor, the new E-Class Cabriolet has grown in length, width and wheelbase. The main benefit of the wider tracks, with 1605mm at the front (+67mm) and 1609mm at the rear (+68mm), is the driving dynamics. Its considerably larger "footprint" benefits passengers in the rear in particular. On each of the four high-quality seats, which all feel like individual seats in their own right, the driver and passengers will be able to enjoy true comfort even on long journeys.
The E-Class Cabriolet will be initially available in a choice of powerful, efficient petrol and diesel engines, including versions with 4Matic permanent all-wheel-drive for the first time. Further engines will be added to the line-up in due course. As standard, all models are equipped with the 9G-Tronic 9-speed automatic transmission, which allows fast gearshifts and lower engine speeds.

25-30 Kg of IED found in Pulwama: Police
Srinagar, August 10: A major tragedy has been avoided after security forces found an Improvised explosive device (IED) weighing 25-30 Kg at Tahab crossing on Circular road area of South Kashmir's Pulwama district on Wednesday, officials said.
Additional Director General of Police Kashmir Vijay Kumar said that IED weighing around 30 kg has been detected by joint team of Police and security forces on inputs of Pulwama police.
Following which a bomb disposal squad was rushed to the area, in a moment it will be defused, the top cop said.


In a SmartGlass session at Build Day 3, Rosa Thomas, Principal Program Manager of SmartGlass Platform Experience at Microsoft, talked about the difference between what was possible in SmartScreen application with the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. There was some brand new things come out of the session that to-date I believe haven't been public.
The first is that SmartGlass apps on Xbox One can control background tasks, the first apps to do this will be Xbox Music and Xbox Video. This means that while playing a game, you could use your SmartGlass app to control your playlist in Xbox Music, all while never leaving your game.
The second is the announcement that all games will have to support 'Xbox Help' context-sensitive commands. Not only that but the voice command can be given to the Smart Glass app and then execute the command on the Xbox One.
The next is that you will be able to use the SmartGlass app for Windows 8.1 to adjust your home screen layout and when you get home and fire up the Xbox, you're new layout will be ready and waiting. While one of the original visions for SmartGlass was to make text input easier, this just made customising your Xbox seriously easy.
Now for the biggest news from the session.. As we know from Microsoft's keynote wink wink, nudge nudge about development on the platform, I stayed for Q&A at the end of the session and afterwards to ask additional questions and glad I did. I asked why Microsoft is pitching every developer on the planet to write for their platforms, but when it comes to Xbox, it's a closed shop for partners only.
Thomas responded that there were security protections required in the Xbox 360 generation that demanded the close partner relationship with Microsoft. Naturally that left the door open for a change to policy as we move to Xbox One and a new platform (that is more secure and apps run sandboxed).
Next I asked when that change may be made, expecting a standard 'no comment', I was surprised to be met with a confirmation that it'll be after the console launches and likely into 2014. There is no doubt anymore, Microsoft are opening the Xbox One up to developers but we just have to wait for now.
As a developer this is huge, I can't wait to write apps for the TV (via the Xbox One) I just hope the competition doesn't beat them to it. On a side note, Microsoft also announced they have had 17 Million+ app downloads of SmartGlass across all platforms, Windows 8, WP8, Android and iOS.
When the time comes, you can get more information at http://dev.xbox.com.

We're offering a warm welcome to Frances Vorsky, who has joined Saint Rose as the new director of alumni engagement. Vorsky comes to Saint Rose from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, where she served five years in the Office of Alumni Relations as associate and acting director, and most recently, as director of alumni and advancement events.
Vorsky looks forward to building connections with our vast network of alumni and helping to serve them as Saint Rose continues to be a resource in their lives.
We asked her to introduce herself to our Saint Rose community.
What brought you into the field of alumni relations?
As a young college student, I was recruited by my own alumni office to work for them. Getting to learn about the institution's history and hearing from alumni how the college transformed their lives really impacted me. Now I get to hear these amazing stories, share them with others, and help create new memories as a career. Could there be anything better?
What are you excited about at Saint Rose?
There are so many wonderful things happening at Saint Rose, from new academic programs to the upcoming centennial celebrations in 2020.
What do you want our alumni to know?
I'm thrilled to be joining the community here at Saint Rose and look forward to welcoming you back home to your alma mater.
How do you want our alumni to connect with you?
We love to hear from alumni! Give us a call, email us at alumni@strose.edu, or stop by the alumni office. Have good news to share? Weddings; new additions to the family; promoted or published; we want to know that, too, and share it with your fellow alumni.
Tell us a little about yourself – interests, family, etc.
I love baseball, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends. I'm looking forward to exploring my new home in the Capital Region (once it warms up a little).

20+ Failed Products That Made These Company Regret Creating Them
It's not an easy task to introduce a brand new product to the market. Sometimes consumers aren't ready for the product, sometimes they fail to make a use of it. And if that happens even an enormous marketing budget can't make people buy it.
Here at Bored Panda we met some products that are notorious for being so unsuccessful that some of them even managed to drive companies out of business. From re-branding and product extension fails, such as Colgate lasagna, to startup companies, like Juicero, these products constructed people scratch their heads with embarrassment.
Scroll below to delve into the world of the biggest product flops ever.
In 1982 Colgate came up with the weirdest brand extension notion. They decided to sell frozen dinners. This scheme backfired, probably because consumers couldn't help but think that the Colgate food savor just like their toothpaste. No company launches a product thinking that it will decrease sale of their other products, but Colgate should've seen it coming.

The American Thanksgiving holiday has, for better or for worse, become linked with the infamous Black Friday day of sales. Quickly, Black Friday has become both the biggest sale day of the year and the busiest. Companies have started to take advantage, including martial arts schools. Creating a day of slashed sales creates a boost in revenues for companies heading into the holiday frenzy and ensures holiday shopping is done at their businesses. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday being held on a Thursday, many consumers receive the Friday off, for a 4-day-weekend. This, along with its timing being around a month before Christmas, creates a perfect storm for shopping.
It doesn't always make sense to give incredible deals during this time. You'll have to take a look at your marketing plan and see what your goals are. That being said, with Christmas presents coming up, and the slow post-holiday revenue boosts that often plague us, this is a good time to get a spike in revenue at your martial arts school, to set aside funds for after the holidays.
Offering student extensions at a discount is a great way to keep your students engaged and happy. This also alleviates the issue of them being upset that new students are getting a great deal that they weren't able to receive. By having a different deal for each student, everyone is happy, and no one feels ripped off…and we all know how important that is. This is a good time to incorporate annual membership sales, as well. Consider giving a discount like x number of dollars off or first month free, when they purchase annually, especially if they pay up front or with a deposit that your martial arts school is comfortable with.
You can also discount different points of your school. This is a great way to grow certain programs at your school, such as your after-school martial arts program. Boosting your revenue with existing members is a great way to add value to their learning, as well as your profitability. Highlight your pro shop to current members, by giving them Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals on gloves, shorts, and other gear your martial arts school offers.
There are tons of great deals you can give to prospective students. There are the many different deal structures we've given in the past; since it's Black Friday, you can go a bit deeper. Many people seem to be saving up their money leading up to Black Friday and they're looking for deals. Make sure you're doing all you can to attract these potential members.
Create a strong referral campaign specifically around Black Friday or Cyber Monday that gives them a better reason to join you school, especially with a friend. As it's much more difficult to get prospective members to sign up for longer memberships, create an introductory offer of a free starter class. One example is a month of class with a free week and branded gi or shorts: a deal that creates additional advertising and a longer term for newcomers than you might be able to traditionally achieve. Encourage people to sign up online through your website, for an easier time and an increased convenience for newcomers. Your martial arts website doesn't have sign-up capability? Learn more about other benefits of an expert martial arts website.
As much as Black Friday and Cyber Monday symbolize some of the biggest sales and discounts, you'll want to make sure you don't inadvertently devalue your school. A high quality school should be paid what it's worth. Find a balance between giving students a great bargain and protecting your investment in your martial arts school. Don't go so low that people start to believe your school isn't a premium one. Once again, your martial arts marketing plan should give you direction on this. Additionally, make sure you keep your integrity by ensuring a straightforward marketing campaign without any tricks.
Want help with your Black Friday campaign? Here's some free Black Friday advice from Mr. Marketer, along with a sneak peek at some of the benefits Mr. Marketer clients receive year-round. Looking for some additional help? Our Mr. Marketer program can help you with your marketing efforts, whether it's Black Friday or the middle of January.
