The Pioneer statue
Monument to early white pioneers in Kansas. Sculpted by Frederick Hibbard, it depicts a white man working with a shovel. Physician and real estate speculator Simeon Bell purchased this sculpture, originally called "The Corn Planter," at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. He donated it to the University of Kansas in hopes that it would help future generations understand the challenges that early Kansas settlers faced. It remained in storage until 1916, when it became the first work of statuary installed on that campus. It has been moved several times as the campus has changed.

Home News E-cigarettes banned at Playhouse
E-cigarettes banned at Playhouse
NORMAN MCFARLANE
Eugene Benjamin smokes an e-cigarette.
Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi wants e-cigarettes banned in public places just like tobacco products, but until the needed change in legislation is promulgated – an amendment to the Tobacco Products Control Act – they may be "smoked" quite legally, anywhere.
Somerset West community theatre, The Playhouse Theatre in Lourensford Road, is grappling with the problem as the result of complaints from patrons during shows recently.
"We've received several complaints from patrons watching shows, who object to people using e-cigarettes during a performance," front of house director Noel Pitout told Bolander.
The complaints centre on the clouds of "smoke" (actually vapour) emitted by e-cigarettes, which objecting patrons find interferes with their theatre experience.
The City of Cape Town environmental health department, in response to a media inquiry by Bolander, confirmed the following:
"There is no reference in current tobacco control legislation on e-cigarettes and also no policy regarding the smoking thereof in public places, mainly due to the fact that the substance that are being smoked in these devices are not tobacco products.
"We do, however, believe that the owners of public places like restaurants and theatres can develop policies to prevent the usage of e-cigarettes on their premises or part of their premises."
Speaking on behalf of the Hottentots Holland Dramatic Society (HHDS), which owns and operates The Playhouse Theatre, chairman Darryl Spijkers said: "The smoking of tobacco products in public places has been regulated in accordance with most first world statutes.
"Why would one want to compromise these laws by smoking something no-one can be sure is a non-tobacco product?
"It is just good as not dumping toxic waste just anywhere but allowing the dumping of bio-degradables on any corner and assuming it won't be a hazard. As a public venue, our duty is to the bulk of our patrons who have understood and respected each other enough to take smoke breaks outside."
He said e-cigarettes will therefore be treated like any other tobacco product, and their use in the theatre building will not be permitted.
"E-cigarette smokers will have to smoke outside the building in accordance with existing tobacco control legislation, as do user of tobacco products," he said, adding that steps would be taken to adequately inform patrons of the decision to disallow the use of e-cigarettes in the theatre building.

North Campus residents are getting a new dorm and dining hall
Grace Mottley·February 28, 2018
Planning for a new dining hall and dorm on the Varsity Practice Fields across from the Ellicott Community began in February.
The project will cost more than $136 million and take up more than 350,000 square feet, university spokeswoman Jessica Jennings wrote in an email. The proposed dorm will cost $97 million and take up at least 303,000 square feet, while the dining hall will cost roughly $39 million and take up nearly 58,000 square feet.
It will be the first time a dining hall has been built from scratch at this university in more than 50 years, Dining Services spokesman Bart Hipple said. The facility will be able to seat about 1,000 students and will be designed specifically to meet the needs of the Anytime Dining system, Jennings wrote.
[Read more: UMD preps to build dining hall and dorm rooms on Varsity practice field]
"We did some very specific redesigning [after we switched to Anytime Dining], but I think a facility designed to operate with that intent would probably succeed better anyway," Hipple said.
The details and the floor plan of the project have not been solidified, but the idea is for the dining hall to have "soft seating," where lounge furniture is available for students to eat in groups, Hipple said. In addition, seating focused on the ability to eat alone will be included in the plan, he said.
Student input is expected to be a large part of the planning process, Dining Services Director Colleen Wright-Riva said.
[Read more: A third of UMD's buildings haven't been renovated in over 40 years]
The new dining hall will replace the North Campus Dining Hall. It is currently undecided what will happen to the structure after the new dining hall is built, Hipple said.
Members of the Department of Dining Services, including Hipple and Wright-Riva, hope that a new dining hall focused on Anytime Dining will help enhance the eating experience and overall living experience for students.
The new dorm will have both traditional and semi-suite rooms — two adjoined rooms connected by a bathroom — and should be able to accommodate about 900 students, said Tracy Kiras, the Department of Resident Life's spokeswoman. The planning team is drawing inspiration from other campuses and from positive student reactions to Oakland Hall and Prince Frederick Hall. The former opened in 2011 and the latter opened in 2014, making them the most recently constructed dorms on the campus.
"Having new residence halls will certainly enhance our ability to attract prospective students and continue providing excellent programs and services," Rivas said.
Freshman government and politics major Malcolm Ferguson said a new dorm won't improve on-campus housing.
"I don't think it is going to enhance anything, because North Campus is a really bad location," Ferguson said. "Unless it's leagues above Ellicott, or Cumberland, I don't see it making that much of a difference."
Ayers Saint Gross, the architecture firm that designed the Edward St. John Learning and Teaching Center, is working to design both new facilities. As of Tuesday, there is no confirmed site design plan, Rivas said.
"As we know with any number of construction programs, there are always some pains to get to the gains," Rivas said. "I would imagine given the location there might be some inconveniences in the short term to current residents and folks who live and work in that vicinity, whether it be noise or traffic, but I haven't seen the impacts yet."

Q: Notification in Tizen wearable web app to display the UI of app running in background In the tizen wearable web application that I am developing, I need my application to prompt a notification to the user every 10min to go into the same application and give some sort of input from the app UI.
I am currently using a simple status notification from notification API which gives a notification having link to the current application. When user clicks on it, the application is launched again (as it does according to description in simple status notifiation).
But I don't want the application to be restarted by clicking on the notification. Instead it should get the application running background to display on the watch UI.
Please let me know any possible solutions to achieve this.
Below is the code I am using right now.
        var myappInfo = tizen.application.getAppInfo();
        var notificationDict = {
                content : "Please enter your response.",
                iconPath : "images/icon.png",
                vibration : true,
                soundPath : "music/solemn.mp3",
                appId : myappInfo.id

        };
        currentBatteryLevelNotification = new(tizen.StatusNotification("SIMPLE",
                "Your input required!", notificationDict);
        tizen.notification.post(currentBatteryLevelNotification);

A: I tried playing with your code, got some progress using:
AppContextId
 var myappInfo = tizen.application.getAppContext();
 //appId : myappInfo.id or muappInfo.appId

and Moving app to background:
document.addEventListener('tizenhwkey', function(e) {
    if(e.keyName === "back") {
        try {
            tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().hide();
            //instead of tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();
        } catch (ignore) {
        }
    }
});

config.xml:
<tizen:setting background-support="enable" encryption="disable" hwkey-event="enable"/>

Tip: If you don't add background-support for Web application, it just dies once you are on exit, It's not possible to get current state.
But I assume the answer is No. May be Notification API is not designed to launch running application I guess.

The South China Morning Post (SCMP), with its Sunday edition, the Sunday Morning Post, is a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper founded in 1903. It is Hong Kong's newspaper of record, owned by Alibaba Group.

South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled "As it happened: US Election 2020" – below is their description.
As the 2020 US Presidential election unfolded, various US media outlets projected the winner of each state, tallying up the Electoral College votes as they went along. The pathway to securing 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency took many dramatic turns in an election that remains contentious. Support us: https://subscribe.scmp.com
South China Morning Post YouTube Channel
In This Story: Electoral College
The United States Electoral College is the group of presidential electors required by the Constitution to form every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president. Each state appoints electors equal in number to its congressional delegation. Federal office holders cannot be electors.
Of the current 538 electors, an absolute majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president. If no candidate achieves an absolute majority there, a contingent election is held by the United States House of Representatives to elect the president, and by the United States Senate to elect the vice president.
The appropriateness of the Electoral College system is a matter of ongoing debate. Supporters argue that it is a fundamental component of American federalism by preserving the Constitutional role of the states in presidential elections. Candidates must appeal to a broad and diverse set of states rather than focusing only on the few U.S. cities with the highest population densities.
Critics argue that the Electoral College system is less democratic than a direct popular vote and that the College violates the democratic principle of "one person, one vote." Thus, a president may be elected who did not win the national popular vote, as occurred in 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016.

HM Naqvi wins 2011 DSC Prize
HM Naqvi wins the first DSC Prize for South Asian Literature
The prestigious US$ 50,000 prize awarded to HM Naqvi at the sixth DSC Jaipur Literature Festival on 22nd January 2011
Jaipur, January 22nd 2011: The DSC Prize for South Asian Literature announced its first ever winner HM Naqvi for his book Home Boy (HarperCollins India). Naqvi was announced the winner at a memorable ceremony at Jaipur's Diggi Palace, attended by eminent literary figures, renowned authors, members of the media fraternity and a diverse literary audience. The event took place at the DSC Jaipur Literature Festival, one of the biggest literature festivals in the world. The US $50,000 DSC Prize along with a unique trophy was awarded to HM Naqvi by Mr. H S Narula – Chairman of DSC Limited – a well known patron of literature.
The DSC Prize for South Asian Literature was instituted in January 2010 to celebrate writing that highlights the South Asian region, its people, culture and diaspora. The DSC Prize, which has been envisioned as a unique and prestigious award, recognizes the literary works of authors across the globe writing on South Asia, transcending the origin or ethnicity of the author. The DSC Prize for South Asian Literature is one-of-its-kind in the region and aims at recognizing literary work that is redefining the understanding of South Asia across the globe.
Naqvi's book titled Home Boy (HarperCollins India) was awarded the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature on the criteria of being the best work of fiction pertaining to the South Asian region, published in English, including translations into English.
The DSC Prize was judged by a distinguished Jury chaired by Nilanjana S Roy along with Lord Matthew Evans, Ian Jack, Amitava Kumar and Moni Mohsin and the shortlist of six was earlier announced in October 2010 at the DSC South Asian Literature Festival in London. The shortlisted authors competing for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature were:
Amit Chaudhuri: The Immortals (Picador India);
Musharraf Ali Farooqi: The Story of a Widow (Picador India);
Tania James: Atlas Of Unknowns (Pocket Books);
Manju Kapur: The Immigrant (Faber & Faber);
Neel Mukherjee: A Life Apart (Constable & Robinson);
HM Naqvi: Home Boy (HarperCollins India).
Speaking on the occasion, Nilanjana S Roy, Chair of the jury said, "Perhaps what the shortlist in this first year of the DSC Prize for South Asian literature reflects most strongly is the emergence of a provocative, intensely confident new generation of writers–four of the six authors on the shortlist were debut novelists. Our final choice, after many months of discussion, reflects the new energy sweeping through South Asian writing. HM Naqvi's Home Boy precisely captures the swaggering bravado, black humour and complex loyalties of a generation that belongs everywhere and nowhere. The contemporary, pitch-perfect voice of his characters allow Naqvi to explore prejudice, belonging and exile as he maps the restlessness and conflicts of his three protagonists in a world where none of the old certainties apply."
Manhad Narula, Director DSC Limited, commented on the occasion saying, "My heartiest congratulations go out to HM Naqvi – the first winner of the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature. The Prize comes a full circle on its vision and it's been a fulfilling journey from the institution of the prize to the winner announcement. The DSC prize in its first year has generated a keen interest among the literary community and we hope to further our commitment to the propagation of the literary cause in the years to come. DSC is dedicated to the growth of the prize and strengthening the principle behind it which is encouraging writing talent and showcasing South Asia to a global literary audience."
The DSC Prize for South Asian Literature is unique since it is not ethnicity driven in terms of the author's origin and is open to any author belonging to any part of the globe as long as the work is based on the South Asian region. The DSC Prize is guided by an international Advisory Committee of eminent literary personalities comprising MJ Akbar, Urvashi Butalia, Tina Brown, William Dalrymple, Lord Meghnad Desai, David Godwin, Surina Narula, Senath Walter Perera, Nayantara Sehgal and Michael Worton.
Note to the Editor: DSC Limited Literary Initiatives
In its endeavour to contribute to social growth and create social infrawealth, DSC Limited has identified the promotion of literature as a key initiative. The company firmly believes that promoting literature helps build the character of society, just as its infrastructure projects help create the infrawealth of the nation.
As a major move towards promoting literature, the company has been a principal sponsor of the DSC Jaipur Literature Festival for the last five years. During this period, this event has grown to become the largest literary event of its kind in the region.
As an extension of its vision to promote South Asian literature, DSC Limited recently instituted the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature, with a prize money of US $ 50,000. This unique prize is a celebration of the rich and varied world of literature belonging to the South Asian region.
In order to further strengthen its association with South Asian literature, DSC Limited recently presented the first DSC South Asian Literature Festival which was held in London in October 2010. With growing interest and a robust following of South Asian writing in the UK, this event was a critical step in extending the company's patronage of literature to a global platform.

Fans of Kamille's songwriting works, on the other hand, should keep an eye on the next releases by The Script, David Guetta, Louis Tomlinson, Jess Glynne, Ella Henderson, Rita Ora, Tamera Foster, Sigala, Era Istrefi, Calum Scott, Wiz Kid, and Ella Eyre.


North Carolina Baptists are known for their heart. That's evident to the many peoples that have been ministered to by the North Carolina Baptist Men (NCBM).
Brunson shared a report Nov. 8 with messengers during the 2011 Baptist State Convention of North Carolina annual meeting in Greensboro. He mentioned a visit a few years ago to a hurricane site coordinator.
In 2011, N.C. Baptists responded to 19 different disasters, including April 16 tornadoes and Hurricane Irene.
Richard Brunson, Executive Director of N.C. Baptist Men, shared a report Nov. 8 with messengers during the 2011 Baptist State Convention of North Carolina annual meeting in Greensboro.
Funds to support Baptist Men are collected through the North Carolina Missions Offering.
Brunson estimated that more than 30,000 volunteer days have been worked with 278,000 meals served. More than 3,300 disaster relief projects have been completed, and thousands of showers and loads of laundry completed.
During a session Nov. 7, Brunson introduced messengers to visitors from Armenia (see story, page 10), Haiti and India who would be at the exhibit hall booths during the meeting. These are three of many partnerships that the Baptist Men lead.
Since January 2010, more than 1,200 volunteers have gone to Haiti to help with relief and recovery efforts. Medical volunteers have seen more than 116,000 patients and 1,400 have come to know Christ.
In India, more than 850 wells have been drilled through the work with Transformation India Movement (TIM). Most of the 100 million people living in Bihar, India, among 45,000 villages, do not have access to clean drinking water. Less than half of 1 percent of the population are Christians.
"I believe it is the responsibility of every believer to help them to hear about Jesus at least once," said Biju Thomas, TIM's leader.
Because of North Carolina Baptists, Thomas reported that 114 villages have been adopted, and 39 church planters are traveling to remote villages in hopes of planting churches.
Before N.C. Baptists got involved in Armenia, there were 60 churches, seven buildings and 2,000 Baptists. But Asatur Nahapetyan, general secretary of the Union of Evangelical Christian Baptist Churches of Armenia and director of the Theological Seminary of Armenia, said the numbers have increased since volunteers have been helping. The country now has 150 churches, 30 buildings and 5,200 Baptists.
Baptist Men debuted its latest medical/dental bus during the annual meeting. The $450,000 vehicle was available outside the Koury Convention Center for tours. The medical/dental ministry is one of many ways Baptist Men find to serve the state and beyond. N.C. Baptists have partnerships with 14 different states along with several countries and several focused ministries like the mission camps, aviation, educators and more.
"People know that N.C. Baptists care about them, but more importantly God cares about them," Brunson said.

The Lord Howe Marine Park (formerly known as the Lord Howe Commonwealth Marine Reserve) is an Australian marine park located about  offshore of New South Wales, near Lord Howe Island. The marine park covers an area of , encompassing the smaller Lord Howe Island Marine Park, and is assigned IUCN category IV. It is one of 8 parks managed under the Temperate East Marine Parks Network.

Conservation values

Species and habitat
Biologically important areas for protected humpback whales and a number of migratory seabirds.
A major seabird breeding area, with 14 species found on the islands including masked boobys, grey ternlets, red-tailed tropicbirds, black-winged petrels and Kermadec petrels
Key location for black cod
Due to the convergence of warmer northern tropical and cooler southern temperate waters in the area, many species found in the reserve are at the northern or southern extent of their range.

Bioregions and ecology
Examples of the ecosystems of the Lord Howe Province and the Tasman Basin Province provincial bioregion.
Represents seafloor features including: basin, plateau, saddle, seamount/guyot and deep ocean valley
Lord Howe seamount chain, Elizabeth Reef, Middleton Reef and the Tasman Front and eddy field (areas of high productivity; aggregations of marine life; biodiversity and endemism).

History
The marine park was proclaimed under the EPBC Act on 14 December 2013 and renamed Lord Howe Marine Park on 9 October 2017. The management plan and protection measures of the marine park came into effect for the first time on 1 July 2018.

Former reserves
The Lord Howe Marine Park includes areas of the former Lord Howe Island Marine Park (Commonwealth waters) (proclaimed 2000) and Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs Marine National Nature Reserve (proclaimed 1987).

Summary of protection zones
The Lord Howe Marine Park has been assigned IUCN protected area category IV. However, within the marine park there are five protection zones, each zone has an IUCN category and related rules for managing activities to ensure the protection of marine habitats and species.

Wimbledon owner eyes Bank of England's historic country club
The All England Club wants to buy the estate so it can carry on running its qualifying tournament there
It has offered to allow local community groups to continue using the facilities
By Helen Cahill For Mail On Sunday
The owner of the Wimbledon tennis championships has put in a bid for the Bank of England's historic country club and sports ground in South-West London.
The All England Club wants to buy the estate so it can carry on running its qualifying tournament there. It has offered to allow local community groups to continue using the facilities.
The 28-acre property comprises a rugby pitch, tennis courts, a cricket pitch and a sports centre.
The All England Club wants to buy the Bank of England's country club and sports ground
The site served as the training ground for England's victorious World Cup football team in 1966.
The Bank decided to sell the ground in Roehampton after MPs complained it was too costly.
Revealed: 4 MILLION Lloyds customers handed payouts for... STOCK WATCH: Hedge funds squeezed out by Tory share... High street alarm: Britons shun the Christmas rush as drop... Bankers and advisers carve up £156m of fees in bidding...
The club's members fear local schools, charities and residents will lose out if they are denied access. At least 3,000 children use the facilities regularly.
Community groups have until March to submit a bid. One offer from members has already been rejected, but sources said it had not included a price.
The All England Club has a contract to run the Wimbledon qualifiers on the grounds until 2030.

North Korea's leader publicly inspected a new weapon for the first time in nearly a year, state media reported on Friday, while Pyongyang also decided to release a US prisoner, sending conflicting signals at a time of sensitive negotiations.
Kim Jong-un's visit to the test site of a new "tactical weapon" threatened to sour the diplomatic atmosphere as negotiations between his country and the United States appear to have stalled.
"This result today is a justification of the party's policy focused on defence science and technology, another display of our rapidly growing defence capabilities to the whole region, and a groundbreaking change in strengthening our military's combat capabilities," Mr Kim said.
The official was referring to an unprecedented summit in June between Mr Trump and Mr Kim in Singapore, where they agreed to work toward denuclearisation and peace on the Korean peninsula, and establish new relations.
In a possibly conciliatory gesture, however, North Korea also announced on Friday it was releasing an American citizen detained since October after "illegally" entering North Korea from China. North Korea has often held previous American detainees for more extended periods.
The military test was successful and the weapon could protect North Korea like a "steel wall", its KCNA news agency said, adding that Mr Kim had observed "the power of the tactical weapon".
The only picture released by state media showed Mr Kim standing on a beach surrounded by officials in military uniforms, but no weapons were visible.
International weapons experts said the officials around Mr Kim included a leader of the artillery corps of the Korean People's Army.
South Korea's defence ministry said it did not have an immediate comment but was analysing the North Korean weapon test.
Friday's understated announcement was more likely aimed at reassuring the North Korean military rather than trying to torpedo diplomatic talks, said Choi Kang, vice president of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul.
"North Korea is trying to show its soldiers that they are becoming high-tech and keeping a certain level of military capability, while trying to eliminate dissatisfaction and worries inside its military," he added.
The test may also have been a response to recent joint military drills by the United States and South Korea, which North Korea said violated recent pacts to halt to "all hostile acts", said Yang Uk, an analyst at the Korea Defence and Security Forum.
Mr Kim said the weapons system tested was one in which his father, Kim Jong-il, had taken a special interest during his life, personally leading its development.
Mr Kim's last publicised military inspection was the launch of the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on November 29th last year, though he engaged in at least eight other military related activities this year, the South's Unification Ministry said.
Mr Kim this year declared his nuclear force "complete" and said he would focus on economic development.
North Korea has continued to showcase its conventional military capabilities, including at a large military parade in its capital, Pyongyang, on September 9th.
North Korea has increasingly expressed frustration at Washington's refusal to ease sanctions, and recently threatened to restart development of its nuclear weapons if more concessions were not made.
A meeting in New York planned this month between US secretary of state Mike Pompeo and North Korea's Kim Yong-chol, a senior aide to Mr Kim, was postponed.

Said KC coach Peter Vermes: "They've been playing a 4-3-3 as of late, and they had a completely different team on the field in their last game because of red cards and things. And now with Benny entering the field, he can play a couple different formation and positions and I don't know what they're gonna do with him at the moment. We're just gonna have to go with what I know Stevie has done over the years and how his teams play. They play with a lot of fire. They play pretty direct. And they try to get after it. Because of those question marks, I think this game really becomes about us and how we're gonna go at it."
"If he's available, I'd say they'd throw him right in the fire, unless for some reason he's not fit. But all my information says he's fit."
Feilhaber is a Brazilian-born midfielder who was acquired this week by New England via the MLS Allocation Draft. Many teams sought the coveted attacking player, including Kansas City.
Vermes told reporters this week when asked that they did make an effort to acquire him. Were they close?
"That's a really tough question, because I've been through so many deals where you think they are done, and they're aren't. But we were definitely in the mix. We were for sure in the mix. He was a guy we actually targeted prior to the season. But because of the allocation ranking, that was the only way that he was able to come back to the league, so we already knew where we were in the pecking order. And I tried a couple different ways to get hire in the allocation ranking, but it's just whether or not you can accomplish or solidify the deal, and it just wasn't happening."

Sign of the times: mortgage defaults will happen if the recession creates a perfect storm
How safe are Australia's banks? What will happen to the 800,000 loans they have deferred? Will the recession create a tidal wave of mortgage defaults that sends banks to the wall?
Banks were instructed by the banking regulator earlier this year to not pay dividends to their owners, but instead hoard those profits as defence against running out of capital. It sent a signal that the regulator was deeply concerned about the health of Aussie banks.
That rule has since been loosened, but the risks are far from over. Aussie households are hanging on for now, but as Christmas approaches income support will be removed and then early in the new year banks will start to demand loans once again be repaid.
So what will happen to Australian banks during this recession? They stand behind trillions of dollars worth of loans in this country, and many of those loans are still at risk. The biggest category of loans Australian banks own is mortgages, and they have performed so well for so long that it is worth worrying that banks may have become complacent.

Motility assays and structural analysis
"Surfing is a surface water sport in which the wave rider, referred to as a surfer, rides on the forward or deep face of a moving wave, which is usually carrying the surfer towards the shore."
In modern science, at the limits of visualization and detection feasibility, the amplification of signals is a serious challenge. Scaffolding – building a high density of factors in close proximity – is the key to optimize chemical reactions or increasing signals for detection. Here we use the bacterial flagellum, a structure provided by nature itself, as a toolbox for different applications. This huge formation consists of the basal body, the hook and the filament, which is composed of up to 20.000 copies of the protein Flagellin (Figure 1). Due to the rotating flagellum, bacteria are able to "surf" through their environment.
Figure 1: Composition of the bacterial flagellar filament.
Among bacteria, Flagellin is a protein with highly conserved domains such as D0 and D1, whereas the sections D2 and D3 are extremely variable (Yonekura et al. 2003). By comparison of Salmonella, Sphingomonas and Bacillus Flagellin it is remarkable that Bacillus D2 and D3 is reduced to a small loop (Figure 2; Altegoer et al. 2014).
Figure 2: Conserved protein domains of Flagellin among different bacteria.
This fact was the reason why we took a closer look at the Flagellin of Bacillus subtilis. Our vision is to use the bacterial flagellum as a scaffold for high density accumulation of proteins with valuable functions.
"SURFing (Synthetic Units for Redirecting Functionalities) is the redirection of natural occurring structures to a high density surface which can be modified for different purposes, towards solving important challenges for humanity e.g. reduction of environmental pollution and improvement or development of new medical applications (Figure 3)."
Figure 3: SURFing application workflow.
Utilizing the principle of SURF on the basis of bacterial flagella, we decided to contribute to the reduction of environmental pollution, concerning heavy metal ions, some of which expose a high toxicity and are harmful even in small doses. A well known representative of these kind of metals is silver (Ag). The toxic effect is on the one hand industrially welcome, as silver is used as an additive to kill bacteria on the other hand it is a big problem due to its dissemination by industrial waste water. Thus the SilverSURF project was born.
The purpose of the SilverSURF project is to catch ions from soil or solutions and sequester them with a high affinity. How should this be realized? Our vision is to introduce an additional modified copy of Flagellin into the genome of Bacillus subtilis. This allele should be controlled by a silver ion sensitive promoter. In presence of silver ions the modified Flagellin is expressed and incorporated into the filament. This modified Flagellin is a chimeric protein with a new domain – the metal binding part of the metallothionein Cup1 from yeast which specifically binds silver and copper ions (Moore et al. 2005). This leads to engineered B. subtilis cells, that catch the surrounding ions from their environment (Figure 4).
Figure 4: SilverSURF vision.
Many published data about transcriptional changes due to heavy metal ion stress in B. subtilis; we were able to find specific promoters, which are more or less specific f or certain metal ions. To analyze different promoters we established a reporter system. Therefore we used the promoter of argJ or the arg-operon respectively for sensing silver ions and the promoter of ykuO or its operon for the detection of copper ions, by generating a highly modular amyE locus integration plasmid with a GFP reporter. By analyzing our reporter constructs via STED microscopy,we discovered that the chosen silver sensitive promoter does not show any differences by exposure to different silver concentrations compared to our negative control without silver ions (Figure 5). However, in principle the established promoter reporter system works though.
Figure 5: SilverSURF promoter reporter system with silver concentrations 0, 0.1 µM and 10 µM.
Nevertheless we focused on the Flagellin Cup1 chimera. We designed a modular system for chromosomal integration, where the hag gene, which codes for Flagellin, features a SpeI site for fast and modular insertion of domains via Gibson Assembly (pIGEM-0016). The Cup1 module was amplified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic DNA and integrated into the pIGEM-0016 system. In the end the wild type hag was successfully replaced with the chimeric hag-cup1 construct (BBa_K1329002). pMAD allows high efficiency allelic replacement of the wild type hag via the pMAD system (Arnaud et al. 2004).
As an in vivo functional test of the engineered Flagellin, swimming and swarming assays were performed. Unfortunately the assays showed that the engineered Flagellin containing strains were strongly reduced in their motility compared to both the wild type strain WT3610 and the control strain producing our modularized Flagellin Hag-SpeI (BBa_K1329003) without the inserted cup1 domain.
Anyway, to learned what might disrupt the flagellum functionality. The hag-cup1 was overexpressed in Escherichia coliand sufficient amounts of protein could be purified, which were subjected to crystallization to solve the structure of the chimeric protein. Crystals could be obtained but the structure could only be solved partially, due to the disruption of the D1 domain by the cup1 integration into hag.
These results led us to rethink our approach and we concluded that the Flagellin might be functional if we replace the Bacillus loop with the D2 Domain of Salmonella typhimurium (Figure 2) and use it as a linker for the Cup1 (Figure 6). This construct is further on called Hag-D2-Cup1.
Figure 6: New engineered synthetic Hag-D2-Cup1 Flagellin.
At the same time we developed the idea to insert a StrepTag into the Hag-D2 construct which would provide an enormous flexibility by coupling a multitude of functional proteins to streptavidin and further on build extracellular complexes of Flagellin with chimeric streptavidin proteins (for further information see the CancerSURF project).
The Hag-D2-Cup1 and Hag-D2-Strep (BBa_K1329003) were also integrated into B. subtilis via homologous recombination by using our modular pMAD system. Again motility assays were performed, which showed comparable results for Hag-Cup1 and Hag-D2-Cup1 though the strain containing Hag-D2-Strep behaves similar to the wild type in this assay (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Motility assays of the Hag-D2-Cup1 and the Hag-D2-Strep mutants.
We asked ourselves how one construct can show a wild type like phenotype whereas the other doesn't. Therefore, we visualized the flagella by using electron microscopy with an uranyl acetate negative staining of our different Bacillus strains (Figure 8). To our surprise we could show that the Hag-D2-Cup1 strain is able to form filaments though they are much shorter and inflexible, compared to the wild type flagella, which might be the reason why we observed fragmented filaments. Astonishingly the Hag-D2-Strep filaments looked like wild type filaments. Although we observed less filaments they seemed to be functional. What might be the difference between Hag-D2-Cup1 and Hag-D2-Strep is part of further investigations. A major factor could be the smaller size of the StrepTag, which consists of only eight amino acids, in contrast to the 4.5-fold bigger part of the Cup1 (36 amino acids).
Figure 8: Uranylacetate negative stained electron microscopy of B. subtilis (A) and Hag-D2-Cup1 strain (B).
The successful engineering of the Hag-D2-Strep Flagellin is the cornerstone for the success story of our CancerSURF project. In further investigations we plan to couple Cup1-Streptavidin, which was successfully produced recombinantly, to isolated Hag-D2-Strep filaments for our SilverSURF – this would directly optimize our approach for pollution reduction. Beyond that, there is no need to use the GMO outside the laboratory. The isolated recombinant flagella could be used directly so no major safety concerns would emerge. Also the higher level of modularity allows us to couple every imaginable high value applicable protein to our filaments. There is no reason to use only one protein, we also plan to use different proteins coupled to streptavidin and bring them into close proximity by using the filaments as a scaffold for molecular crowding. There is a huge repertoire of valuable applications for this system to solve all kinds of challenges humanity has to face.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln curling team won a silver medal in the Regional College Curling Championships March 10-11 at Kettle Moraine Curling Club in Hartland, Wis. Twenty-four universities and colleges competed in the event.
The UNL team was skipped by Micheal McEniry, a senior engineering major from Papillion. Rachel Rixen, a sophomore from Bismarck, N.D., served as vice-skip. Morgan Rose, a sophomore from Broken Bow, was in the second position and Kit Connell of Papillion served as lead.
McEniry's team competed in Division III against the University of Tennessee, the University of Washington and Carroll University of Wisconsin.


What a couple of days! It has been insane.
It started yesterday morning. As I was getting in my car, I saw that all my glove box papers were strewn around. Someone had taken advantage of my failing to lock it the night before and rummaged around trying to steal what they could. Here in Briargate! Luckily, I never keep anything of value in the car, and the breaker-inners weren't interested in my backup ball cap. Even more luckily, the remote thingy on the dashboard that is supposed to open the trunk died about two years ago. I was irked, but thankful nothing was taken or broken.
Yesterday around 4:00, I was trying to meet son, Matthew, his girlfriend Kira and her family for supper. Yes, I was going to play hooky from Awana and Youth Group. However, there was an accident on I-25, and I literally couldn't get there. Then they drove through the night to get to College Station Texas, for the Texas Shoot-out archery tournament. So, it was a sleepless night of worry. They have arrived safely. Since I was short on sleep, I wanted to be crabby. Well, our oldest son, Chuck wouldn't let me. As he got ready for school, he was cracking me up with his sly/dry sense of humor.
When I arrived at church this morning, a couple of things came up that did not please me. I so wanted to be crabby. However, who can be crabby with Rebecca, Rochelle, Doug Moore, the Bible study ladies, and Mary Ellen Shaad, all here, and all so darned cheerful?
Trying to get away from the good humor, I went out for coffee with my wife Kim (though I am always in imminent danger of her own good cheer and beautiful smile leading me astray). Very long story short, we lost her purse. I was not crabby but downright flummoxed. We went about canceling cards, thinking of lost cash, and all the hassle of replacing things, such as her driver's license. As I was going through the garbage pails at the park, hoping it was dumped, Starbucks on Briargate and Union called. The purse was found! Everything was intact and in it. People are so good! I had an instant attitude change.
However, that adventure made me late. I was about to be later. One road I needed was closed due to construction. My alternate route took twice as long as usual because, you guessed it, more construction. Finally, I picked up Chuck, had time to drop him off, and then scurried back to Starbucks, to have coffee with Bill and Nancy Tibert. Yes, I was harried, and trying to be crabby again, but they are too delightful for words. We had a wonderful visit and they will be a part of Marge Page's celebration on Saturday. So much for another lousy mood—it went right out the window.
Finally, back at my desk, and as I started to write this, I was trying my best to regain my grump. Who wants to be sitting at a desk on a perfect day? The little dingy signal thing on my email told me Marlene LeFever had sent Gabriel Jaramillo and I a note. It was the coolest note—ever! She had two great conversations at Grilled Cheese with students today, affirming our ministry, outreach, and their great appreciation. I am still grinning over that one.
As hard as I am trying, you people just won't let me be crabby. "Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Thanks for lifting me up this week. I hope to return the favor as soon as Sunday and the sermon.
p.s. As I was editing the above, Internet Explorer stopped working and dumped my article into cyberspace. Thankfully, Chuck has taught me to save, and keep clicking buttons. I got it back, and doggone it, another bad mood went away.


It was no coincidence that when Sir Richard Hadlee was making his mark on the cricket fields of the world, so was New Zealand; that the national team's days in the sun were in large part because of his efforts.
The records and statistics aside, Hadlee served as a model for anyone aspiring in sport – his metronomic efficiency, his economy of movement, his athleticism, his professionalism.
Hadlee's world record of 431 test wickets was surpassed – but the measure of Hadlee's achievements for New Zealand cricket will never be.
Hadlee played in 86 tests between 1973 and 1990 for a highest score of 151 not out and a batting average of 27.16. His 431 wickets came at an average of 22.29 runs each, with best bowling of nine for 52 against Australia – and he had a hand in the 10th wicket as well in that innings when he took the catch.
He took five wickets in an innings an extraordinary 36 times and 10 wickets in a match on nine occasions. Hadlee was knighted in 1990 for his contributions to cricket – the only New Zealand cricketer to be honoured in such a way.
Hadlee became chairman of the New Zealand selectors in 2000.

Cracking under tunnels
Keeping rainwater out of the root system will be necessary to prevent fruit cracking.
May 15th 2009 Issue
A solid set canopy delivery spray system is under study to provide chemicals and nutrients in Michigan State University's cherry tunnel project. The white reflective Extenday material is also under study.
One of the main reasons Dr. Greg Lang began experimenting several years ago with growing cherry trees under plastic tunnels was to protect the tender fruit from rainfall. But the results after rain fell on the tunnels last year were not what he expected.
Since 2005, the Michigan State University horticulturist has been covering cherry trees with high tunnels at two locations in Michigan. At MSU's Clarksville Horticultural Experiment Station, mature Rainier cherry trees have been covered with tunnels, while a range of cherry varieties have been planted under cover at the Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center in Benton Harbor. Lang is now evaluating more than 40 varieties planted under the tunnels. Many are varieties not typically planted in Michigan because of the region's potential for disease and fruit cracking from rain and humidity.
From year to year as the research has progressed, Lang has made adjustments for the complexities of growing trees under an unnatural environment. One of the first challenges to overcome was pollination and fruit set. By switching from honeybees to bumblebees for pollination, yields inside the tunnels are now equal to trees not covered, with larger fruit from the covered trees due to less stress on the trees.
"There are environmental impacts from the tunnels," Lang said during a seminar on fruit production in tunnels at the Great Lakes Fruit and Vegetable Expo in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Managing light interception is very important under tunnels. His research found that the tunnels increase the growing degree-day accumulation by 10 percent compared to no tunnels. Additionally, the plastic tunnel sheeting reduces photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) by 25 percent and filters out nearly 60 percent of the infrared light waves.
"You have to work hard to increase the light interception at the lower levels of the trees inside the tunnels," Lang said. With trees kept to about nine feet tall to fit inside the tunnels, the fruiting zone is low, around five feet off the ground. He's had to pay close attention to fruit-to-leaf ratios to ensure there are enough leaves to support a crop.
He found that color in Rainiers was improved greatly by using the reflective material Extenday under tree rows after bloom and by pruning for better light interception. Lang continues to study white and silver reflective material and is also evaluating a black weed-barrier fabric for the benefits of weed control, conserving soil moisture, warming soil up quicker in the spring, and serving as a barrier to soil insects.
Other important aspects to tunnel management include managing temperatures, managing irrigation and humidity, and managing fertility. Switching from microsprinkler to drip irrigation and raising the sides of the tunnel have helped reduce humidity. Fertigation is being used to spoon-feed nutrients to the dwarfing rootstocks. He is also studying the use of a stationary sprayer, with microsprinkler lines running overhead, to apply nutrients and chemicals. If chemicals can successfully be applied overhead, tractors will be unnecessary, and another row of trees could be planted in place of a tractor alley.
Expensive space
Lang is especially pleased with tree growth under the tunnels. Nursery trees planted under tunnels last April were nicely branched and already filling the orchard space by June, he noted, adding that a crop will be ready for harvesting in the second or third year.
"With the precision bud manipulations that we are doing, we're putting the branches exactly where we want them," he said. "That's critical because we're dealing with very expensive space."
The dwarfing trees grown under the tunnels are an average of nearly 25 percent taller, with 20 percent larger leaves, Lang reported. Lateral shoot length is also greater under the tunnels. Also, the white reflective material has helped to increase tree growth by about a third compared to outside trees without the Extenday material.
But while there are many advantages to growing cherries under cover, Lang found that protection from cracking last year was not one of them.
"For the first three years of the study, we had no rain and no cracking," he commented. But in early June 2008, when fruit were most susceptible, significant rain fell in a short time period. "Rain cracking is the big issue with tunnels, and here's where we had some real eye-opening results."
For Rainier cherries inside the tunnel, about 60 percent of the fruit was cracked; outside fruit showed 89 percent cracking. Lapins showed 32 percent cracking under the tunnels; outside was 91 percent.
"What's going on?" he asked. "We kept the rain off the fruit. But we still had cracked fruit."
Lang said he recalls at least one report from New Zealand where cracking was observed under rain covers. "But in all my years—15 years worth—of cherry research, I've never seen that happen."
He believes that while tunnels kept rain directly off the fruit, the four inches that fell in a week's time poured off the plastic into the soil and was taken up the trees. "With the right warm temperatures and high humidity, and all that water coming into the tree, there was no transpiration going on to get the water back out of the leaves," he explains. "The fruit continue to swell. They are full of sugar, they take up water, and they eventually do crack.
"This impressed upon me that if you're going to grow cherries under high tunnels, you need to deal with the water coming off the tunnel canopy and get it out of the root system."
In Europe, plastic gutters are often used at the top of the tunnels to run rainwater out of the orchard before it even hits the ground. However, with the need to vent the sides for temperature and humidity control in Michigan, gutters won't work, he said.
He believes that ground gutters or trenches will work in sandy soils, but may not be the best solution in heavy soils that hold water. For heavy soils, subsurface drainage tile lines may be a solution for managing excess soil water and getting rainwater out of covered orchards.
Lang still has many issues to address as he fine-tunes cherry production in high tunnels. In the coming seasons, he will be working on netting the tunnel openings to keep birds out; developing a protectant strategy for certain insects and diseases; and evaluating different tree training systems for the best fruiting wall. Further work is needed to learn the best methods of moving rainwater out of the tunnel area to prevent cracking.
Thus far, tunnels have eliminated the need for multiple sprays for Japanese beetle and cherry leaf spot disease, but Lang found that copper sprays are still needed for protection from bacterial canker. When the tunnels are removed for the winter, to allow trees to go dormant, the trees are still exposed to canker infections.
He is convinced the high tunnels have potential for organic production of sweet cherries in Michigan, although work is still needed to assess effective organic controls for insects like aphids, mites, and plum curculio.
