Mystic Tan offers several options of fake tan for dark skin in clear formulations.

Wall diving in Bali can be the most rewarding journey a diver will experience. It is regarded by seasoned divers as the most unique and comprehensive diving experience to explore.
Wall diving is the term used to describe a dive where divers will be gradually scaling down the edges of an underwater reef or cliff face. These cliff faces typically start from shallow waters and then suddenly drop off into the depths of the oceans.
What's fascinating about wall dives is the sheer number of marine life you will find along the dives wall. Expect to see corals that grow at an angle, schools of fish and other critters that live in symbiosis with the surrounding corals, and not to mention the coral reefs themselves that grow at odd protruding angles hoping to catch the sun's rays.
The actual diving itself presents its own unique sets of challenges. A wall dive typically implies a deep dive. Therefore it takes careful planning and knowledge of the surrounding waters. There will be directional currents going up and down the wall that divers need to be aware of. And close attention to the depth gage is vital to prevent divers from getting disoriented due to not having any seafloor as a reference.
The waters at Menjangan Island located just 30 minutes from the mainland of Bali, is Bali's first internationally recognized diving location. The waters are crystal clear with a rich array of marine life and fauna. The walls here range from 10 – 60 meters with numerous crevices, nooks and overhangs to observe the underwater life.
The dive sites at Menjangan Island are flooded with sunlight, with very light currents that make it the perfect place for beginner divers. Some of the marine life you can expect to find here include Pygmy Seahorses, Nudibranch, Frogfish, Garden Eels, various endemic turtles and also the highest concentration of gorgonian fans in all of Bali's dive sites.

Earle Ovington: Pilot of the First Official Airmail Flight in the United States
By Christopher Knudsen, Education Aide
Earle Ovington receives a bag of mail at the International Aviation Tournament in Garden City, New York, where he took off for the first official airmail flight in the United States.
Earle Ovington was the Post Office Department's "First Aeroplane Mail Carrier," but he wasn't the first person to get airborne with the mail. John Wise flew mail by balloon in 1859. Fred Wiseman "unofficially" carried mail in February 1911, coincidentally the same day as an airmail flight in India. In September 1911, Ovington was officially sworn in as an airmail carrier before climbing into his fixed-wing plane and flying from Garden City, New York to the nearby town of Mineola with a heavy sack of mail. As a person and a pilot, Ovington was a unique character and his September 23, 1911 flight has an interesting story.
Born in 1879, Ovington was an innovative and passionate figure of aviation that gave birth to the experimentation of mail delivery by air. Around age nine, he was given a $1 electric motor and a book titled Experimental Science. He loved the idea of innovation and how he can create new ideas and technologies just by using trial and error. His aunt said her electric door bells never worked when her nephew was around because he always stole the batteries for his experiments in the attic. At 16, Ovington left school and went to work as a messenger boy for Edison Electric Illuminating Company making three dollars a week. Here, he saw the "electrical revolution" firsthand. In 1900, Ovington attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to further his electrical knowledge.
After becoming interested in motorcycles and other vehicles, Ovington befriended Glenn H. Curtiss who introduced him to the young world of aviation. Ovington then attended Louis Bleriot's Aviation School in France, sponsored by his successful MIT friends. While earning his wings, the aviator adopted a mascot described as a French gendarme by the name of "Treize" (the number thirteen in French). He deemed his lucky number to be 13 and flew with it painted on his wing. Apparently not superstitious, Ovington knew that taking this "unlucky number" as his own would make him unique in the aviation world.
The Dragonfly's mono-wing design was a new and revolutionary way of building aircraft.
Although the idea of transporting the mail through the air had been thought of before, the Post Office Department made it an official form of mail delivery with Earle Ovington, although his flight was experimental. He flew his plane which he named Dragonfly and airmail was officially born in the United States on September 23, 1911 at Nassau Aerodome, Long Island. The Dragonfly was a mono-wing plane (Fred Wiseman's was a bi-plane) built from the Bleriot XI model that was fitted with an inverse curve on the wing. Knowing that aviation was still a dangerous business, Ovington provided stability by affixing six steel straps beneath the wing (most had only four). This revolutionary design required more maintenance; but it would be able to fly higher. During the flight, Ovington travelled at an altitude of approximately 500 feet.
Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock spent his career trying to adopt airmail into the delivery system. In an effort to do so, Hitchcock wrote a letter to Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff of New York. When Ovington heard about the flight and that the Lt. Gov. had not chosen a pilot he offered his experience and passion for no cost. In turn, Woodruff chose Ovington to fly the first U.S. Airmail flight. As an avid philatelist, Ovington knew that this flight was going to be important for the delivery of mail and the U.S. Post Office Department as a whole. Without Hitchcock's vision for the promise of aeroplanes, the air mail service and the career of Earle Ovington would have been suspended.

The flight took place at the International Aviation Tournament in Garden City, New York. The stage was set, Hitchcock swore in the newest member of the Post Office Department, as the "First Aeroplane Mail Carrier." The spectators at the air meet did not know that they were about to witness history. Hitchcock set up a tent on the grounds to allow the spectators to become a part of history. They were able to write a post card to anywhere in the country and send it off on the first official airmail flight. The first and most important flight showcased the rest of the event as numerous mail trips were taken over seven days as the total number of letters totaled 43,247.
Attendees could write postcards and be a part of the historical flight at this tent set up by Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock.
One hundred years later, the Postal Museum is sharing the story of Ovington's flight with a family day on Saturday, September 24, 2011 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The first official airmail flight showed people that the Post Office Department was committed to speed and innovation in transportation. The aviator dedicated his life to the birth and life of airmail in the Post Office Department. Earle Lewis Ovington passed away in 1936 at the age of 56 from cancer; the first airmail flight on September 23, 2011 still goes down in history as one of the most important days in United States postal history.

Saturday I ran my 26th half marathon, my last half of the year, the Indy Monumental half.
Jeremy and I drove to Indy Friday night. I met up with my friend Kim, who had so sweetly picked up my packet for me.
When I got back to our hotel I was looking through my packet and pulled out my tshirt. Now, race shirts never fit me. 9 times out of 10, they're too small. I pulled this one out, and was expecting to see an XL, hoping it would fit me like a L. But it was TINY! I looked at the tag, and it was an XS! So, that was disappointing.
Saturday morning we were able to walk to the race start from our hotel. I love staying at hotels where you can just walk to the start line, save yourself all the stress of finding parking.
It was a little chilly, around 37 degrees. I knew it would feel great once the race started though.
If you remember, when I ran the Urban Bourbon half 2 weeks ago, I said I AM going to run a sub 2:30 at the Indy Monumental. I did a 2:31 there, on a hilly course, and since the Monumental course is flat, I knew I could do it.
Of course that was on my mind every single mile. And every mile I would look at my Garmin, and for the first 5 miles, my pace was around 10:40. I was so surprised! I don't run 10 anything!!
When I do runs on my own, they're always around a 11:45-12 min. pace.
But I had a goal, and I was going to do whatever I had to, to get there. And I felt great! I thought there's no way I'm running this fast, because I feel so good.
It was probably around mile 10 when I started to slow down, and I started to walk a little bit. But my pace never got over 11:30.
After an excellent run, tons of crowd support, awesome volunteer's, perfect weather, I see the finish line.
I was SO happy! I have not ran a half under 2:30 in 2 years!!
I really think it's these 100 mile months I've been doing, and just sheer determination.
Jeremy and I celebrated by getting a Giordano's pizza, and going to a beautiful park to relax for awhile.
What an awesome race this was! My next one isn't until April 22, but I'm sure I'll find some before then.
I have to give a shout out to my friend Elizabeth, who ran who first marathon this weekend in Indy, and she did awesome!!
Yay! I wish we had been able to meet up before the race (that portapotty line was crazy long!) but I'm really glad you hit your goal! This is definitely my favorite race, though I know I'm biased being from Indianapolis. :) And the weather was just perfect - NO rain! Congrats again!!
I am SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! That's an amazing time!!!
PS - I HATE race shirts when they make them small. But what was up with the XS? Were you able to get in touch with someone about it?
Congratulations on your improved time goal! You'll discover with the work/life balance that races become even more savory because of the limited time dedicated to training for the event. While they may be less in quantity, you will get so much more out of quality.
I totally agree with that. Thank you!
Race shirt sizing is the bane of my existence. Can we just list a size chart on a website folks? Sometimes I'm a women's medium, sometimes I order a women's large & it's so tight on my arms I can't even try it on. Apparently I'm the hulk. But always a bummer since I love wearing race swag for training.
Congrats on your finish time! Don't you love those races where it all just comes together!?
Thank you so much Padre!
So freaking proud of you for nailing your goal.

Background: The proprotein convertases (PCs) are enzymes that activate precursor proteins through proteolytic cleavage within the secretory pathway. PCs comprise several enzymes that are basic amino acid-specific proteinases (furin, PC1/3, PC2, PC4, PACE4, PC5/6, and PC7), as well as nonbasic amino acid convertases (S1P and PC9) (1). PCs have a common structure that includes an N-terminal signal peptide for secretory pathway targeting; a pro-domain that is thought to act as an intramolecular chaperone; a catalytic domain containing the active site; a P-domain that contributes to the overall folding of the enzyme by regulating stability, calcium-, and pH-dependence; and a C-terminal domain that interacts with the membrane (2). PCs act in a tissue- and substrate-specific fashion to generate an array of bioactive peptides and proteins from precursors, both in the brain and the periphery (3).
Background: NFI-C belongs to the nuclear factor I (NFI) family of site-specific transcription factors that regulate viral DNA replication and expression of various genes (1,2). The NFI family is composed of four members in vertebrates: NFI-A, NFI-B, NFI-C, and NFI-X, all of which are critical in the development of multiple organ systems in mice and humans (3). NFI-C is expressed in various tissues and regulates TGF-β dependent tooth development and hair follicle cycling (3-5). Research studies have shown that NFI-C directly represses FoxF1 transcription and suppresses the motility and invasiveness of breast cancer cells (6).
Background: The Ewing sarcoma (EWS) protein is a member of the multifunctional FET (FUS, EWS, and TAF15) family of proteins (1,2). These proteins are RNA and DNA binding proteins that are thought to be important for both transcriptional regulation and RNA processing. EWS can be found as part of a fusion protein with various E-twenty six (ETS) family transcription factors, most commonly Fli-1, in the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (1-4). The amino terminus of the EWS protein, containing the transcriptional activation domain, is fused to the DNA binding domain of the ETS transcription factor, causing aberrant expression of target genes (1-5). EWS interacts with the transcription initiation complex via TFIID and RNA polymerase II subunits, as well as transcriptional regulators, such as Brn3A and CBP/p300, which suggests a role for EWS in transcriptional regulation (1,6-9). EWS also interacts with multiple components of the splicing machinery, implicating a role for EWS in RNA processing (1,10-12). EWS regulates the expression of cyclin D1, which controls G1-S phase transition during the cell cycle, at the level of transcriptional activation and mRNA splicing. The EWS-Fli-1 fusion protein has been shown to promote the expression of the cyclin D1b splice variant in Ewing sarcoma cells (13). In addition, EWS regulates the DNA damage-induced alternative splicing of genes involved in DNA repair and stress response and is required for cell viability upon DNA damage (14). Consistent with these results, EWS knockout mice display hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation and premature cellular senescence, suggesting a role for EWS in homologous recombination and maintenance of genomic stability (15).
Background: Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and malate/aspartate shuttle (1,2). MDH is widely expressed in organisms from most bacteria to all eukaryotes (2). The cytoplasmic MDH isoenzyme (cMDH or MDH1) primarily reduces oxaloacetate to malate in the malate/aspartate shuttle (1-3). The major function of the mitochondrial MDH isoenzyme (mMDH or MDH2) is to oxidize malate to oxaloacetate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (1,2).
Background: PAI-1 is a secreted protein that belongs to the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. It inhibits urokinase and tissue plasminogen activators (uPA and tPA) and thus, reduces the conversion of inactive plasminogen to plasmin (1). PAI-1 regulates fibrinolysis and plays an important role in vessel patency and tissue remodeling. Secreted PAI-1 interacts with the extracellular matrix (ECM) component vitronectin, thereby modulating cell-ECM interactions (2,3). PAI-1 is expressed in a variety of tissues with higher expression in liver, vascular endothelial cells, platelets, macrophages, and adipose tissue (1). Increased levels of PAI-1 are associated with deep vein thrombosis (4). Defects in PAI-1 cause plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency (PAI-1D), which is characterized by increased bleeding after injury or surgery (5). Research studies have shown that high levels of PAI-1 are associated with obesity, aging, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes (6-8). PAI-1 is transcriptionally regulated by TGF-β and mediates TGF-β-induced inhibition of cell migration and invasion in cancer cells (9). Studies have shown PAI-1 to be also involved in fibrosis (10).
Background: Wild-type p53 induced phosphatase 1 (WIP1)/protein phosphatase magnesium-dependent 1 delta (ppm1d) is a member of the PP2C family of serine/threonine protein phosphatases. WIP1 was initially identified as a p53 target gene, induced in response to ionizing radiation (1). Studies have shown that WIP1 is overexpressed in human cancers and is involved in the regulation of multiple DNA damage signaling pathways (reviewed in 2,3). WIP1 functions in returning cells to a homeostatic state following DNA damage (4,5), as well as in maintaining p53-dependent homeostasis under nonstress conditions (6). Researchers have shown that increased expression of WIP1 is associated with poor prognosis and lower survival rate in some human cancers (7,8). In contrast, overexpression of WIP1 in p53-negative tumor cells sensitizes them to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis while protecting normal tissue during treatment (9).
Background: N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1), also termed Cap43, Drg1, RTP/rit42, and Proxy-1, is a member of the NDRG family, which is composed of four members (NDRG1-4) that function in growth, differentiation, and cell survival (1-5). NDRG1 is ubiquitously expressed and highly responsive to a variety of stress signals including DNA damage (4), hypoxia (5), and elevated levels of nickel and calcium (2). Expression of NDRG1 is elevated in N-myc defective mice and is negatively regulated by N- and c-myc (1,6). During DNA damage, NDRG1 is induced in a p53-dependent fashion and is necessary for p53-mediated apoptosis (4,7). Research studies have shown that NDRG1 may also play a role in cancer progression by promoting differentiation, inhibiting growth, and modulating metastasis and angiogenesis (3,4,6,8,9). Nonsense mutation of the NDRG1 gene has been shown to cause hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy-Lom (HMSNL), which is supported by studies demonstrating the role of NDRG1 in maintaining myelin sheaths and axonal survival (10,11). NDRG1 is up-regulated during mast cell maturation and its deletion leads to attenuated allergic responses (12). Both NDRG1 and NDRG2 are substrates of SGK1, although the precise physiological role of SGK1-mediated phosphorylation is not known (13). NDRG1 is phosphorylated by SGK1 at Thr328, Ser330, Thr346, Thr356, and Thr366. Phosphorylation by SGK1 primes NDRG1 for phosphorylation by GSK-3.

The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Phospho-HSP27 (Ser82) (D1H2F6) XP® Rabbit mAb #9709.
Background: CHD8 belongs to the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding (CHD) family of ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins (1). The CHD family of proteins has been shown to play an important role in regulating gene expression by utilizing the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to alter chromatin architecture (1,2). The nine CHD family members are characterized by the presence of two tandem chromodomains in the N-terminal region and an SNF2-like ATPase domain near the central region of the protein (2-4). In addition, CHD8 contains three CR (conserved region) domains, a SANT (switching-defective protein 3, adaptor 2, nuclear receptor co-repressor, transcription factor IIB)-like domain, two BRK (brahma and kismet) domains, and a DNA-binding domain (2). The chromatin remodeling activity of CHD8 has been shown to be important for the regulation of a wide variety of genes, such as the HOX genes (5) and genes that are driven by β-catenin (6), p53 (7), estrogen receptor (8), or androgen receptor (9). CHD8 can also interact with the insulator binding protein CTCF and is required for CTCF insulator activity at multiple gene loci (10).
Background: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex structure of secreted macromolecules surrounding mammalian organs and tissues. Controlled interactions between cells and the ECM are important in proliferation, migration, survival, polarity, and differentiation. Cells contact the ECM primarily through focal adhesion complexes, which contain integrins, as well as multiple adaptor and signaling proteins (1). The ILK/PINCH/Parvin (IPP) adaptor complex acts at the interface of the integrin/actin connection to regulate formation of focal adhesions and integrin signaling. Roles for IPP proteins outside of the IPP complex have been proposed, including regulation of gene expression (2,3).PINCH, also known as LIMS1, has been shown to function as a specific regulator of gene expression in glomerular podocytes in response to TGF-β1 (4). Researchers have shown that PINCH is highly expressed in some human tumors, and that PINCH can promote resistance to ionizing radiation through activation of Akt (5,6).
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometric and immunofluorescent analysis in human cells. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated Ki-67 (D3B5) Rabbit mAb #9129.
Background: The initiation of DNA replication in mammalian cells is a highly coordinated process that ensures duplication of the genome only once per cell division cycle. Origins of replication are dispersed throughout the genome and their activities are regulated via the sequential binding of pre-replication and replication factors. The origin recognition complex (ORC) is thought to bind to chromatin throughout the cell cycle (1,2). The pre-replication complex (Pre-RC) forms in late mitosis/early G1 phase with the binding of CDT1 and cdc6 to the origin, which allows binding of the heterohexameric MCM2-7 complex. The MCM complex is thought to be the replicative helicase and formation of the Pre-RC is referred to as chromatin licensing. Subsequent initiation of DNA replication requires the activation of the S-phase promoting kinases cdk2 and cdc7. Cdc7 phosphorylates MCM proteins bound to chromatin and, in conjunction with CDT1, recruits the replication factor cdc45 (3-5). Cdc45 is required for formation of pre-initiation complexes at the G1/S transition and for activation of replication origins. The level of cdc45 protein expression is associated with the proliferative status of the cell or tissue. Terminally differentiated and senescent cells lack cdc45 and highly proliferative cell lines express high levels of cdc45 (6).

Background: Protein ubiquitination requires the concerted action of the E1, E2, and E3 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. Ubiquitin is first activated through ATP-dependent formation of a thiol ester with ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1. The activated ubiquitin is then transferred to a thiol group of ubiquitin-carrier enzyme E2. The final step is the transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to an ε-amino group of the target protein lysine residue, which is mediated by ubiquitin-ligase enzyme E3 (1).
Background: Upf1 was identified as an active component in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), an mRNA surveillance mechanism in eukaryotic cells that degrades mRNAs containing premature termination codons (1). Upf1 was found to be an ATP-dependent RNA helicase in the cytoplasm (2) and was later shown to be a component of cytoplasmic P-bodies (3). Upf1 phosphorylation mediates the repression of translation that accompanies NMD, allowing mRNA accessibility to the NMD machinery (4). Two other active components of NMD, Upf2 and Upf3, were also identified and described as having perinuclear and nucleocytoplasmic localization, respectively (5).
Background: G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase interacting proteins 1 and 2 (GIT1 and GIT2) are highly conserved, ubiquitous scaffold proteins involved in localized signaling to help regulate focal contact assembly and cytoskeletal dynamics. GIT proteins contain multiple interaction domains that allow interaction with small GTPases (including ARF, Rac, and cdc42), kinases (such as PAK and MEK), the Rho family GEF Pix, and the focal adhesion protein paxillin (reviewed in 1). GIT1 and GIT2 share many of the same properties, but with at least ten distinct, tissue-specific splice variants. GIT2 has been shown to play an important role inhibiting focal adhesion turnover and membrane protrusion (2,3). Focal adhesion localization and paxillin binding of GIT2 is regulated through phosphorylation at one or more tyrosine sites (Tyr286, Tyr392, Tyr592) by FAK and/or Src (4,5,reviewed in 6). Once at the focal adhesion, GIT2 is thought to play a key role in cell polarity and migration, making it a protein of interest in the investigation of oncogenic signaling pathways (3,5,7).
Background: NBC1/SLC4A4 is an eletrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter. It mediates the coupled movement of Na+ and HCO3- ions across the basolateral membrane of cells. NBC1 regulates secretion and absorption of bicarbonate and modulates intracellular pH (1-3). There are five isoforms of NBC1 produced by alternative splicing including the most studied isoforms, 1 and 2, which have different N termini. The N terminus of isoform 1 contains multiple consensus phosphorylation sites for various kinases, such as PKA, PKC, and CK II, and may play a regulatory role in the biological function of NBC1 (4). Interaction with carbonic anhydrase II, IV, and IX regulates the transporter acitivity of NBC1 (5-7). NBC1 is expressed in various tissues with the exception of isoform 2, which is mainly expressed in kidney proximal tubules (1). Isoform 1 is expressed in the pancreas and corneal endothelium, and at low levels in other tissues including heart, skeletal muscle, liver, and prostate (4). Research studies have shown that mutations in the NBC1 gene are linked to proximal renal tubular acidosis with ocular abnormalities (also known as renal tubular acidosis II).
Background: The 20S proteasome is the major proteolytic enzyme complex involved in intracellular protein degradation. It consists of four stacked rings, each with seven distinct subunits. The two outer layers are identical rings composed of α subunits (called PSMAs), and the two inner layers are identical rings composed of β subunits. While the catalytic sites are located on the β rings (1-3), the α subunits are important for assembly and as binding sites for regulatory proteins (4). Seven different α and ten different β proteasome genes have been identified in mammals (5). PA700, PA28, and PA200 are three major protein complexes that function as activators of the 20S proteasome. PA700 binds polyubiquitin with high affinity and associates with the 20S proteasome to form the 26S proteasome, which preferentially degrades poly-ubiquitinated proteins (1-3). The proteasome has a broad substrate spectrum that includes cell cycle regulators, signaling molecules, tumor suppressors, and transcription factors. By controlling the degradation of these intracellular proteins, the proteasome functions in cell cycle regulation, cancer development, immune responses, protein folding, and disease progression (6-9).


Help improve the lives of those with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) - a rare and life-threatening disease causing random swelling of the airway/face (possible asphyxiation), intestines (intense pain, vomiting), limbs and torso.
Patients never really know when they may have an HAE attack which makes it difficult to plan and live everyday life. When they are sick, they may be unexpectedly hospitalised because of a life-threatening attack, bed ridden for days on end, or "simply" have a swollen hand which prevents them from doing their day to day activities. Schooling, further education or employment can be affected from being away sick so often which can jeopardise a patient's ability to provide a source of income for themselves & their family.
As HAE is rare, patients are often faced with Health Care Professionals that haven't heard of the disease or know how it is to be treated. This increases the stress and anxiety of patients and their families - what happens if their next attack is a life-threatening one and the doctor doesn't know what to do?
- educate the medical and general community about HAE to ensure patients are diagnosed quicker. Previously, patients went through decades of suffering before meeting a doctor who had heard of HAE and was able to diagnose it.
- connect patients and carers with our support network – they need to know that they are not alone.
- provide access to tailored mental health support services so patients & carers can learn ways of adapting & coping with life with HAE. Patients are 2.5 times higher on a depression scale than the general population, with over 40% reaching scores indicative of clinical depression. Our support services can help improve this critical situation.
Any donation to HAE Australasia is greatly appreciated - every dollar makes a difference to those living with HAE.

Home Lifestyle Business Do not ambush consumers with new tariffs – ACEP to PURC
Do not ambush consumers with new tariffs – ACEP to PURC
Executive Director of ACEP, Benjamin Boakye
The Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) has advised the Public Utilities and Regulatory Commission (PURC) not to ambush customers with new upward tariff adjustments, because it could potentially distort customers' plans significantly.
In a statement titled 'PURC must communicate its electricity tariff now, if the 1st July effective date is still relevant', the think-tank argues that it does not expect the PURC to, within few days to the effective date, ambush electricity consumers with the new tariffs – which it said hold about a 90 percent chance of an upward adjustment.
Should the tariffs be announced few days to the effective date, it said, it would destabilise the plans of consumers greatly – particularly the business community whose investment decisions have been held hostage by the uncertainty in expected tariff adjustment level.
"ACEP's interactions with key consumers of electricity show that anxiety is already high within the business community, and expects the Commission to be fully sensitive to the realities on the ground in order not to inject unnecessary shocks into plans of consumers, and by extension, the economy," added the statement signed by its Executive Director, Benjamin Boakye.
ACEP expressed worry that despite the delay by PURC to communicate the tariff – which the Commission announced in February – it will take effect from 1st July 2019, following the mandatory major tariff review consultations in January this year.
A statement issued on February 27, 2019, by the Commission stated that its decision to postpone announcement of the tariff to July was due to critical emerging issues in the sector, which are expected to affect the final tariff setting.
Among others, the PURC statement said: "The emerging issues are related to the planned relocation of the Karpowership Plant, resulting in savings due to the fuel switch from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to Natural Gas. Secondly, reductions in the price of natural gas are anticipated due to ongoing negotiations by government. These matters are outside the purview of PURC, but their outcomes are likely to have measurable impacts on the Commission's decision."
However, ACEP said, ideally, the Commission should communicate to consumers what its intentions are, and whether it will extend the effective date of the tariff or immediately announce the tariff.
This, the think-tank argues, will allow consumers time to absorb and adjust to the changes, and ultimately ease the anxiety within the business community.
"The practice has been that new tariffs are announced at least two weeks prior to effective date.
This is necessary to allow stakeholders to adjust their systems and budget to accommodate the new tariff. However, today is the 19th of June – 11 days shy – yet the tariff has not been announced," ACEP's statement on Wednesday noted.

When Tim O'Neil approached fellow Mt. Tabor Neighborhood Association member Stephanie Stewart in 2009 about starting a solar buying cooperative in their suburban Portland community, she loved the idea.
"Literally within a couple of days, Stephanie had created a Web site and a logo," says O'Neil.
Then O'Neil and Stewart turned to Lizzie Rubado of the nonprofit Energy Trust of Oregon to help them put together workshops on installing solar panels. Originally, the new team expected to sign up 50 or so people, and they hoped that about 10-20 would go through with the installation. After all, 2008 saw only 38 solar panel installations across the entire city of Portland, Rubado says.
To their surprise, about 300 people signed up for what would become the Solarize Portland solar buying co-op. One-hundred and twenty homeowners installed solar panels that year.
Solar buying cooperatives have sprung up across the country, as neighbors interested in going solar join together to share in the pre purchase research and negotiate group discounts. With Energy Trust's help, the Solarize Portland co-op obtained bids from contractors, eventually choosing one that gave a very competitive price, offered a group discount, and fit with the community's values. In addition, the co op held workshops to help members take full advantage of local, state, and federal tax incentives for solar energy. So instead of paying $6,000 $8,000 for each kilowatt of capacity (most systems are between one and three KWs), Solarize Portland members shave 70 to 80 percent off the cost of their solar systems.
After Solarize Portland's success, the city government stepped in to replicate the program in other areas. In total, the Solarize programs have installed 754 residential systems in Portland to date.
"I feel like it gave the neighborhood an identity," O'Neil says.
Solar buying co-ops are popping up all over, but if you don't already have one in your area, One Block Off the Grid (1BOG) may be able to help you start one. This company does much of the work involved in forming a solar cooperative for you—from finding interested people in your area to vetting potential solar companies to negotiating with those companies for the lowest prices on solar home systems. The majority of 1BOG customers see a savings of 15-20 percent, before tax incentives.
Ed Lortz, a resident of San Francisco, had spent a couple of years conducting his own research on switching to solar power, but he was still unsure about which solar company to purchase from. "I received about five different proposals from companies, and they were all over the map in terms of price," he says.
Then he attended a briefing about 1BOG, and he liked what he heard. 1BOG had already pre qualified the solar contractors and pre-negotiated a discounted group price for the briefing attendees. That price was significantly lower than what Lortz had been able to find on his own, and he was so pleased, he ended up getting nine solar panels through IBOG instead of the eight panels he'd originally planned.
Currently, 1BOG has hundreds of group deals in over 40 states throughout the US. If there's one in your area, all you have to do is sign up at 1BOG.org to enjoy a group discount on solar. If there is not a 1BOG deal in your city, the company can set one up. Just sign up at 1BOG.org, and 1BOG representatives will keep you updated on how close your area is to having a group deal. While 1BOG will assemble your group, it doesn't hurt to spread the word to your neighbors. 1BOG also can help you hold a meeting to get people interested.
Once your area reaches a critical mass of around 100 potential participants, 1BOG will begin vetting and negotiating with solar installers. The more people who sign up for the program, the bigger and better the terms 1BOG can negotiate.
Once 1BOG chooses a company, it provides personal consultations to educate members about the solar systems, including how they will operate and whether customers will receive a credit on their energy bill if their panels produce more energy than they use.
In addition, 1BOG's experts will help customers unearth all available federal, state, and local tax incentives. For Ed Lortz's nine-panel, 1.8 kw system, the original price with tax was $17,244 after the group discount. However, after taking advantage of tax incentives, his total out-of-pocket cost was just $3,600.
In addition, Lortz sees an average of $40 per month in savings during the summer on his energy bill, and $15 in monthly savings during the winter. This past May also brought Lortz more savings, as California just passed a net-metering law requiring utilities to pay for excess energy generated by solar panels.
"I am unbelievably pleased," says Lortz, who recommends 1BOG to anybody who asks him about going solar. 1BOG's program is open to all who own a home. Not all homes are ideally suited for solar panels, but 1BOG will take care of your home evaluation for free. It also offers solar leases.

Disrupting the law
Published in Asian-mena Counsel: Legal Innovation & Technology Special Report 2019
By Nick Ferguson, In-House Community
The way that legal services are being delivered is changing rapidly.
Technology has been changing the world of work since the dawn of the industrial revolution, but it is only in the past decade or so that technological innovations have truly started to disrupt the way that legal services are delivered.
The reason for this is both extremely complex and startlingly simple. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, blockchain and many other relevant developments are all enabled by a continual, evolutionary improvement in computer processing power, as predicted by Gordon Moore back in the 1960s.
But there is nothing evolutionary in the changes that are taking place within the legal industry.
"While emerging technologies such as blockchain and AI are constantly disrupting 'business as usual' across all industries, it is anticipated that the impact within the legal industry will be most significant given that this sector is traditionally conservative and averse to change," says Michael Lew, founder of LegalComet and chief operating officer of Rajah & Tann Technologies, a firm at the forefront of legaltech innovation in Asia. "The underlying push to embrace innovation and, to a certain extent, disrupt the law firm's current profitable business is driven by the shifting dynamics and expectations from the future clients of legal services."
As the new economy has become mainstream and companies such as Facebook, Apple and Google — or Alibaba, Huawei and Tencent — have grown into multi-billion dollar global enterprises, the inefficiencies of traditional legal practice have become increasingly frustrating to modern clients.
Trusted advisers and dynamic rainmakers are still as relevant as ever, but everything about the way their services are delivered is fair game for disruption."Those who wish to maintain the status quo will be left behind, while a whole new spectrum of opportunities awaits those who choose to reinvent themselves to remain relevant in the business of law," says Lew.
Now that we have crossed the threshold into technologies that can displace traditional legal roles, the developments will keep coming and will continue to fundamentally change the way that law is practised. The role of a corporate lawyer in 2019 is not very different to the role in 1999, but you can be sure that the role in 2039 will be starkly different.
"Technology has re-cast the definition of legal work," says Preeti Balwani, general counsel of Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages, a wholly owned bottling subsidiary of Coca Cola. "Legal delivery is no longer the exclusive domain of the legal practitioner but a combination of the law, technology and business expertise. It is essential for legal departments to challenge perceptions around the work they do and use technology to improve legal delivery. Effective legal delivery supported by legaltech will in turn foster a more robust tech culture within organisations."
While many of the innovations within the legaltech sector are emerging from Europe and the US, Asia is starting to catch up as governments, regulators and industry bodies begin to understand the benefits and encourage change.
"It is very encouraging to witness the growing momentum by law firms in Singapore in redefining the roles of legal professionals from solely the practice of law to skill-based positions such as legal engineer, e-discovery specialist, innovation manager, legal data analyst and others," says Lew.
Indeed, embracing innovation could be even more important in emerging Asia than in the developed world. All the same forces driving adoption of legaltech innovations in more developed markets exist in Asia — in addition to the region's rapid economic growth. That means lawyers in Asia are getting busier at an even higher rate than in the US or Europe, where growth is slow in comparison and the legal profession is mature.
"The Australian and Asian markets are growing rapidly, which creates challenges for organisations with the ever-increasing amount of data being generated and the need to comply with evolving regulations," says Stuart Hall of e-discovery company Relativity.
At the same time, budgets are always under pressure. In the past, investing in technology invariably meant new servers, data centres, staff and training, all at great cost. For law firms and legal departments alike, the size of such investments has traditionally been difficult to overcome for all but the most tried-and-tested products, such as e-discovery. But the development of cloud computing is making new tools more accessible.
"Customers are increasingly looking for solutions to their unique data demands, regulatory requests and areas outside of e-discovery," says Hall. "Our SaaS [software-as-a-service] platform, RelativityOne, allows us to better serve these demands with its scalability and performance, without the significant challenges of investing and maintaining IT infrastructure."
In private practice, law firms are responding to the needs of their clients by changing the way they are structured and how they hire. Internal incubators, innovation labs and legaltech consulting arms are becoming more common, and so are non-legal and tech-focused roles.
"Market-leading firms are developing and producing new solutions by leveraging disruptive technologies, often in concert with multidisciplinary and client-facing legaltech teams that are effectively in-house solution vendors," says Eric Chin, a strategy consultant at Alpha Creates. "Hiring innovation consultants, process engineers, developers and design thinkers into fee-earning roles is unprecedented. Those few firms have launched their legal operations' consulting arms as a means to elevate the relationship from solving legal issues to operational and strategic issues for general counsels."
In Asia, firms such as Rajah & Tann Technologies are among those pushing the boundaries. The firm offers a range of legaltech expertise, from e-discovery and digital forensics to consultancy, training and data breach readiness and response.
"We are the go-to legal team for data protection and cybersecurity in Singapore because of our ability to understand clients' needs as they transform themselves to embrace technology and navigate the digital economy, as well as our unwavering pursuit of quality and efficiency in our services," said Steve Tan, a partner specialising in technology, media and telecoms.
This kind of approach is increasingly important. Unlike the Luddites who smashed textile machinery during the first industrial revolution, today's young lawyers will need to embrace technology to stay relevant. For law firms and legal departments alike, it is a matter of disrupt or be disrupted.

Preserve the wood on your Raleigh fence with repainting and refinishing services from the home exterior restoration services leaders at Osborne Painting.
Oftentimes, merely pressure washing a fence won't totally do the trick. You can clean it, but the lack of a recently-applied wood finish or coat of paint can leave the door open for a slew of problems. At Osborne, we can sand and strip the area and apply a new coat and finish to keep your deck or fence in it for the long haul.
We take our promise to provide "Quality Work, One Step at a Time" seriously. Shortcuts are never taken. Whether it's cleaning, preparing, sanding, caulking, priming, or painting, all steps are completed before moving on to the next. We'll take the time to get the job done right.
Helps Prevent Damage – Since wood is natural, it's susceptible to deterioration from the sun and rain. If wood is not treated, finished and waterproofed on a regular basis, that deterioration can be very rapid. Allowing Osborne Painting to paint your fence, stain it, or refinish it will prolong the life of your wooden fence and decking.
Increases Safety – Wood in need of sealing and waterproofing finishes can be prone to damage in the form of splintering, loose boards, exposed nails and more. These issues can become larger problems, especially if you have young children around, or if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Treated, finished wood can stand the test of time, insulating property owners from accidents, falls, splinters, and other dangers.
Maintains Quality Look – Having your fence repainting or refinishing done by an expert Raleigh painting company like Osborne Painting will keep your fence looking great all year round – you'll be the envy of the neighborhood!
As mentioned above, painting your fence can increase its lifespan while also improving the look and feel of your home overall. Depending on your location, paint can be stripped from wood fences. For example, painted fences have been known to be stripped in areas of heavy rainfall and minimal amounts of sunlight, such as homes in the mountains of North Carolina. On the other hand, homes near the beach experience large amounts of salt in the air, which could become an issue for some types of wood and paint.
The type of wood used is also a primary factor when it comes to painting or staining wood fences. For example, cedar is tough to paint, as it is porous and needs to breathe. This said, stain will be the best option because it seeps deeply into the wood as opposed to paint. On the other hand, oak, maple, and pine are dense and work well with both paint and stain.
By having a great understanding of what you're looking for, you can maximize the aesthetics of your home.

Technical challenges could complicate Microsoft's TikTok takeover
By Georgina Torbet August 10, 2020
The planned acquisition of TikTok by Microsoft could be a technically complex operation with full separation of the app from ByteDance taking a year or more, as reported by Reuters.
Sources told Reuters that the plan for Microsoft to take over the TikTok app and to take charge of its data security will not be simple to implement.
The issue is the complexity of the code of TikTok, some of which is shared with other apps from Chinese parent company ByteDance. The code for the TikTok app itself was separated from the Chinese version of the app, Douyin, although the two apps maintained very similar functions and appearances. The issue is the code that runs on the TikTok servers, as some of this server code is shared with other ByteDance apps. This code controls functions like recommendations, user information, and data storage.
12 high-profile tech opportunities for those job hunting
This creepy Mac app can record every moment of your online life
New phishing method looks just like the real thing, but it steals your passwords
This would make it a complex task for Microsoft to take over the app and ensure that user data is being handled safely. The company would need to check and likely rewrite at least some of this code, and while it did so it would need to continue using ByteDance's original code to ensure uninterrupted service for users.
There is also a lack of clarity about what the fate of TikTok's recommendation algorithm would be. The recommendation engine is one of the app's biggest strengths, serving up users with videos they will likely enjoy based on their previous behavior. But it's not clear whether this algorithm and the data it relies on would be passed to Microsoft in the event of a sale, especially because Microsoft is currently looking at taking over TikTok's presence only in the U.S. and a handful of other countries, while other countries would continue to use the ByteDance version of the app.
President Donald Trump has set a deadline of September 15 for TikTok to be taken over by a U.S. company, or else it will be banned. However, these technical issues mean that even if Microsoft and TikTok reach an agreement regarding ownership of the app, it could be months or even years before the transition of data from one entity to the other is complete.
A Microsoft representative told Digital Trends that the company had no comment to share on the matter.

S.O.S. Diner caters to the nautical set

BOATER SKIP DAY
11 a.m. Friday, June 7, Bayard Point, Green Cove Springs, free
Bayard Conservation Area
story by JANET HARPER
Jesse Dowling was just 22 years old when he figured it out. He was heading out for a day on Silver Glen Springs, a popular boating destination in the Ocala National Forest. Sick of eating cold sandwiches, he and his buddy Frank Cunningham set up a Coleman gas grill on the back of their ski boat, hooked a microwave into the cigarette lighter socket, and got to work cooking up mac-and-cheese, mashed potatoes and grilled steaks.
"We were just making stuff for us, you know?" Dowling told Folio Weekly. "And people just started coming up to the boat like zombies, smelling the meat cooking. Next thing you know, we had a crowd lined up behind the boat asking us if we were selling food."
That's the moment it clicked for him. "I said 'This is it. We need to do a food boat.'"
That was 16 years ago, and through many ups and downs in the food industry—including one destroyed boat and a few disappointing restaurant ventures—Dowling and Cunningham are still cooking on the water.
Their S.O.S. Diner is now in its third year, and business is booming. (If you're wondering, S.O.S. is an acronym for Save Our Stomachs.) Dowling and his crew drop anchor at Bayard Point, south of Green Cove Springs, around 11 a.m. most Saturdays and Sundays during the summer.
"Once we start serving, we don't stop until people start leaving," Dowling said. "It was kinda slow going at first, but now it's a monster. Now everybody knows. We're feeding them when they get there and feeding them when they leave."
Boating culture, the St. Johns River and, in particular, the area around Marker 24 have been central to the lives of Dowling and Cunningham.
"We grew up in the St. Johns River. We've been going to that same sandbar for 20, 30 years," Dowling explained.
And it's all led him to this point. S.O.S started as a food truck in his hometown of St. Augustine. It was difficult to operate it, though, due to some regulatory red tape that made it impossible to serve during the business day. "St. Johns County just didn't get on board with mobile food right away," Dowling explained. "It wasn't cost-effective to drive to Jax for lunch and then back for dinner seven days a week."
"It was stressful not having a steady paycheck. It was 7 a.m. to midnight, everyday grinding," he recalled. "Food trucks aren't how they portray it on the Food Network. You can't just roll in and start selling food and people come flocking. You have to establish a clientele." And, he said, he just couldn't do that, given the limited hours they were allowed to operate. It became such a hassle that he decided to change careers after 25 years in the food industry.
Dowling is now an aircraft mechanic, but he couldn't stay away from cooking. From his time as a banquet chef, executive chef and entrepreneur, this is by far his favorite gig. His hours can still get crazy on the weekends, but at least he's out on the water, spending time with his friends and his wife, Laura.
She fields the orders and passes out the food while Dowling and Cunningham share cooking duties. "She started with me on the food truck," said Dowling. "We make a good team." She's just as much a key to their success as the good food, he says. "When she's not there, people are asking where she is! She's just a people person."
The food truck helped Dowling get his feet wet. Eventually he took the leap and bought a boat. "It's more relaxing out there on the water," he said. Though he loves being with everybody at the Point—he'd be out there most weekends even if he didn't have the diner—Dowling is taking it easier this year.
"Last year was exhausting," he explained. In a week, he would spend 40 to 50 hours at his day job, and another 30 hours dedicated to shopping, prepping and serving on the boat. "That's why we won't be out every weekend," he said, "so we can go fishing, enjoy the outdoors, have our downtime."
"It's a recreational job," he added, "not a pay-the-bills job."
Though he may be doing just it for fun, he takes food preparation seriously. The menu changes weekly based on what's sustainable, what's fresh. His food is never prepackaged or frozen. And his customers can't get enough.
"Our burger is probably the top seller," he said. "Everyone who has it says it's the best burger they've ever had. That's what they say about everything! The Reuben, shrimp po' boy, the gator tail. Man, that's the best gator tail I've ever had!"
Chris Vann, owner of Jax Boat Rentals, agrees. "My favorite? Probably the hamburger," he confided. "My son loves the catfish nuggets." Vann's business serves the same area, and one of its most popular annual events, Boater Skip Day, is coming up this weekend.
"It's like a national holiday for boaters," Vann said.
Now in its fifth year, the event has grown from mere dozens to hundreds of boats. This year's gathering is predicted to be bigger than ever. S.O.S. Diner is more or less the official caterer of the event, and Dowling and his crew are expecting a non-stop line of hungry revelers.
Dowling's love of food, and his enjoyment of serving his fellow boaters, keep him going during the long hours, especially leading up to these big boating weekends. "If we're not out there, people are bringing sandwiches, they're getting wet in the cooler," he said. "I like being able to make people happy through food. It's fun being out there, even if we're the only ones working."

On the field Jameis Winston is a great quarterback prospect with his great size, accuracy and arm strength. Winston maintains his poise in the pocket and has unbelievable anticipation throwing the ball on time. Winston did get in trouble trusting his arm too much this year and forcing the ball shown by his 18 Interceptions. He has also had plenty of Off the field issues that teams will have to consider when drafting him. However, he is the top quarterback in this class and has shown on the field that he has the tools to be a franchise quarterback.
