Moron of the Month: Gregory Lauder-Frost
Matthew Steeples suggests Gregory Lauder-Frost, the vice president of the Traditional Britain Group, as the second The Steeple Times 'Moron of the Moment'
We normally have a Wally of the Week at The Steeple Times, but this week's choice is much more. Please – if you are prepared to observe truly ignorant nonsense – prepare to meet Gregory Lauder-Frost.
Lauder-Frost, who describes himself as "someone who grew up amongst the Landed Gentry [sic] and aristocracy", took to Facebook on Monday night to describe guests at an event supported by The Steeple Times as "positively ghastly". He was not present at the gathering and I must admit that I had never even heard of him before.
When I responded to this wannabe cross between Michael Savage and Katie Hopkins and asked him why he had decided to make such unpleasant remarks, Lauder-Frost took umbrage and sent me a tirade of claptrap about how I was "scum", "clearly no conservative" and on the "far-left".
A Google search on Lauder-Frost reveals his having made comments such as: "The Nuremberg trials were a farce. They were show trials without an ounce of legitimacy" and "The Africans never had it so good as when Britain governed their colonies there… We owe Africa nothing whatsoever. It owes us eternal gratitude for lifting it out of barbarism".
Convicted and jailed in 1992 for stealing over £100,000 from his then employers, Traditional Britain Group vice president Lauder-Frost was interviewed by Vanessa Feltz on BBC Radio 5 Live in 2013. In the feature, Lauder-Frost suggested that anyone living in the UK who was not of "European stock" should be "sent back to their natural homelands" and described Baroness Lawrence OBE, the community relations campaigner and mother of the late Stephen Lawrence, as "no friend of the English people" and "a complete nobody".
Move over Sam Barton: Gregory Lauder-Frost deservedly succeeds to the title of The Steeple Times Moron of the Month.

What a vile individual.
Alan Miller says:
My suggestion is that Mr Lauder-Frost be sent on the first Virgin Galactica flight!
Since his natural homeland would appear to be Mars, maybe he could ask the pilot to take him home?
If he could be sent somewhere, may it be as far as possible from the real world.
captain jerkoff says:
Hoy! This is Great Britain FFS! The land of free speech so let the ******** have his say?
I never thought I'd say it but now I have to: Vanessa Feltz is quite right.
Gillian Trott says:
I hope that Mr Lauder-Frost has the decency to join with me in support of the Find Madeleine campaign. He is plainly a man not afraid to speak his mind and I urge him to support dear Gerry and Kate McCann in their endeavours to find their beloved missing daughter Madeleine. The Steeple Times should be supporting this rather than publicising such people as Vanessa Feltz. This is a shameful website. Shameful.
Reginald says:
Baroness Lawrence is a good and upstanding woman. Gregory Frost is a man who has been convicted of theft and he bleats about the House of Lords being ruined. I can tell him one thing that's sure. Nobody would ever want him as their representative.
Peter Wayde says:
This man, Lauder-Frost is unknown to me. He has a very un-refined face and I assume is of very low stock. I don't agree that Mr Lawrence should ever have been elevated to the peerage…a nonsense
You don't approve or you do? Baroness Lawrence has campaigned tirelessly against racism. I support her wholeheartedly.
I don't agree that she should ever have been elevated to the peerage….utter nonsense. Just my opinion and open to debate.
And as for Lauder-Frost, he took on my friends and was obnoxious. He made a very big mistake. I defend those close to me to the death. If he'd apologised, he wouldn't have been taken to task. The man is an utter TWAT.
As for Lauder-Frost he looks repulsive
Waltzing Matilda says:
What is the source for the Lauder-Frost quote about growing up amongst the landed gentry and aristocracy? I'd imagine both of those were pretty thin on the ground in the Newcastle, NSW suburb of Merewether in the 1950s and 1960s. Unless, perhaps, the Queen had a holiday home in Newy where she liked to relax and breathe in the smoke from the steelworks.
Gregory Lauder-Frost was born in Hillcrest Hospital a Salvation Army Hospital for unmarried mother in Merewether a suburb of Newcastle NSW his mother was married and mine not.There were some beds for married women they having the better rooms.Gregory Lauder -Frost Is dilution all and a snob
Chaim Paddaman says:
I envy Baroness Lawrence, I could do with the extra income and fringe benefits that comes with her House of Lords gig, I am tired of smoking roll ups. Gregory is the typical toffee nosed Daily Mirror reader…
David B. says:
He deserves to rot in hell. I hate and loathe scum like him.
Martin Ellis Jones says:
I would prefer to keep my mouth shut and be thought a Twat, than open my mouth and remove all doubt;
I remember the silence that fell over the lunch table when I called my mother a T***, having just heard the word on the playground of my primary school………..the word has haunted me for sixty five years!
John Scholey says:
I think, all things considered, that Mr Steeples must indeed be scum to have put this on the internet.
What's your real name? Gregory Lauder-Frost? Scum? Or loser? Or all of the above?
Glenmore Trenear-Harvey says:
Am I alone in thinking that this fellow is a dead ringer for 'Roland the Rat"?
Gregory Lauder-Frost was born in Australia to ordinary parents.He is a snob, a racist and not a nice man.He has been causing trouble on a site on facebook mainly where babies were born to unmarried mothers although a certain part of the hospital some married women would go there to have their babies.He caused trouble on that site by saying that the unmarried mothers and their babies were a disgrace to society etc.He was taken off the site but later came back with the name Richard Curry and started his rant again about the unmarried mothers and and their illegitimate babies.He has been taken from the site again.He is a toxic nasty snob.Jean Newton.
By looks of it, he is also wearing a made~up bow tie. What a dreadful pleb!
I've seen other photos of him. His suits look they're from Primark!!!!!
Cecily Lauder-Frost says:
You all need to get a grip on yourself so and stop thinking that he's a rude man, he's got a lovely personality oh I forgot none of you have even had a personally conversation with him so shut you mouths!
Your father is no doubt "lovely" to you but you neglect to consider those he stole from. He was rightly jailed and his bigoted political views are certain reason why I am honoured he loathes me also.
Cecily says:
Delete my comment then
No. I'll leave it there for all to see. You should not have written it in the first place if you did not want it seen.
Hag Hater says:
You are a poor girl Cecily. Your dad gave you with a crap name and then he went robbing also. I bet you'll turn out perfectly also.
dean scott xx says:
you are a fucking dick head greg is such babe fuck you all :p
Totally agree with you Dean, all these people are morons and have nothing else better to do than make articles about people they don't like, absolutely pathetic!! :'D
You and Henry Hopwood deserve one another. Get married.
He has a face resembling a bottom.
Glenmore S Trenear-Harvey says:
I had – and have – no interest in this man. He was unknown to me. Wanting to know more before I commented, naturally I researched him. You will see from:
http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Lauder-Frost
This man is a serial extremist. One of the worst I have come across. Most of his views are repugnant to me. The extremity of his views balance those on the left among Corbyn's cohorts. Sadly, he is not a poorly educated man. He does not have the possible excuse of being an ignoramus.
What is worrying is that his various statements over the years will have influenced and inflamed hatred in the British community.
I was surprised to learn that he was involved in local politics on my patch as Secretary of the Court Field Ward of the Chelsea Association and put forward his name as a councillor for the South Stanley Ward on Kensington and Chelsea Council.
We have had (and have) some rum representatives on our local council. Had he ever got there, one shudders to imagine what impact this convicted crook might have had.
Luckily I've never met him. His remarks about my friends, however, were dealt with as I saw fit. The prison system dealt with him also and he is certainly now forever in the same class as one Thomas McLoughlin. Birds of a feather and all that springs to mind.
Has someone shoved a rod up his sorry arse??????????????????????????
Roger that Matthew!
Heavens! Jones seems to have discovered another sticky key. Now he need only to discover a vocabulary and try and link a few words together to compose a coherent comment.
This is just pathetic and childish, I mean who makes up a page like this and actually puts mug shots of people's faces and writes a article about someone, not even teenagers would write something atrocious like this especially as you do not know them! you sir Matthew Steeple, deserve a good punch in the face!
Gregory "Lauder" Frost is an Australian, born and bred – maybe he should be "sent back to his natural homeland"? His distant ancestor, Thomas Frost, was an English convict, transported to Australia for stealing money, just like his light-fingered descendant. His father was born in Australia and his mother was born in the USA yet he pretends to be a Scottish laird. He's very into genealogy but is always careful to avoid mentioning where *he* was born, because he was born in Newcastle, New South Wales.
He affects a posh English accent, yet if you listen carefully you will notice it's clearly put-on – his vowels get more and more Strine as he talks to some of his fellow countrymen: http://188.166.237.90/the-convict-report-episode-66-an-evening-with-gregory-lauder-frost/
The Lauders had a house opposite my grandparents in Bruton street and next to the Strathmores. Both now demolished and covered by an office block. My grandmother was friendly with Cecily Lauder until the latter's death and they were continuous correspondents. Cecily was, as you say, born out there. Is that a big deal?
My gran said the Lauders spent most of their time abroad, mostly in California and Australia where they had relations in both places. The house belonged to the eldest brother of Sir Harry Lauder but he owned a huge landscaping company in the USA and was only home once a year. normally only the housekeeper was there although after Sir Harry sold his London house he used this one regularly. My gran said "all the Lauders" were there over the period of Sir Harry's death and funeral. The house was then owned by Harry's nephew. So that's my input here.
After seeing this page and the nasty comments I looked at the on-line Australian White Pages and I see two Gregory Frosts living in Newcastle……..
Jennifer Akdemir says:
He's an Aussie – love it! Just like JRM is only a second-generation toff. These people are frauds.
Colin Vallance says:
Lauder-Frost was born in central London in his maternal grandfather's house. How do I know? Because my mother was at the baptism. So get your facts right. His family have strong connexions in Australia sure enough. But his father worked for Gilbeys in their office at Regent's Park. I think the person writing this garbage should give us his real name instead of using a pseudonym.
I see Gregory's been panicking and removing references to Australia from his family on genealogy websites (on the very same date, 24 February, as the post by "Colin Vallance" – what a remarkable coincidence) he's very touchy about being an immigrant, is he not?
He most certainly was *not* born in central London or, indeed, anywhere on the same continent. If he was born in central London, he'd be on the register of births for England and Wales, and he most definitely is not. Maybe "Colin Vallance" could supply us with the GRO index reference, as we're dying to see the evidence, cobber. How would your mother being present at the baptism prove where he was born?
I think you should have common decency to reveal yourself and your hatred.
As a postcript I have just checked and you cannot look at GRO birth indexes post-1917.
I am trying to work out what kind of fantastic hatred and spite drives people like the person who erected this webpage and those who post equally horrid comments. What drives such people on?
Hatred and spite? Dear me, Gregory, judging others by your own low standards is terribly un-British. Your obvious disgust at being an immigrant to the UK, the offspring of generations of economic migrants around the world, has evidently tainted your views. As well you know, England and Wales birth records post-1917 are readily available online on various commercial websites and your own birth does not feature as you were born in New South Wales.
Some mistake here unless this is a further conspiracy theory of yours. It seems you think everyone who responds to this page who does not leave a sneering comment must be Mr L-F. Never mind.
I am definitely not Mr L-F. You were unable to answer my questions put to you. That simple really.
As said in my last comment you've deleted I do not know Mr Lauder-Frost and am merely a commentator.
However I have gone to the trouble to find a link to the NSW births indices and he's not there, so if you found it you're a better man than me. My own brother was born in Malaya. Does that make him non-British in your eyes?
Considering you can only search the NSW birth indices online pre-1918, it's not surprising you can't find him.
The birth notice in the local paper, The Newcastle Morning Herald & Miners' Advocate of 13 August 1951 reads as follows:
"FROST (nee Lauder), To Cecily and Wal, a son (Gregory), August 8, 1951, Hillcrest"
Hillcrest was The Salvation Army Mothers' Hospital in Merewether, Newcastle, New South Wales.

REST: REST is less a technology and more a set of principles that define how various web standards, such as HTTP, are supposed to be used. The key characteristic of RESTful communication is that it's stateless. You make a request, you get a response, and you're done. Theoretically, if you adhere to REST principles, you'll end up with a system that plays nice with the web's architecture.

Home Newsroom ESP Op-ed by Kathi Griffin, president of the IEA
Op-ed by Kathi Griffin, president of the IEA
A horrifying incident took place at Mattoon High School on September 20. But there was no tragic loss of life because math and physical education teacher Angela McQueen was prepared.
When a 16-year old student opened fire in the cafeteria, wounding one student and grazing another with a bullet, witnesses credit McQueen with grabbing the shooter's arm and subduing him.
According to the police, school staff were recently trained on how to deal with active shooters. While confrontation is considered "a strategy of last resort," it can stop a shooter from hitting targets.
Angela McQueen went well beyond the call of duty. The situation to which she reacted is thankfully rare (studies show schools are among the safest places a child can be), but the desire by school employees to go the extra mile for students is not.
Teachers and education support professionals are deeply committed to student safety. That is why the Illinois Education Association has prioritized helping us identify students who may come to school carrying a heavy emotional weight from the outside world. These school employees, often by partnering with the local medical and social service communities, look for ways to connect with these troubled children and help them cope and succeed at school.
One example of this work is the Partnership for Resilience in the south suburbs. Another is happening in Macon and Piatt counties.
Working to bring the message of trauma-informed education to school buildings and districts across Illinois is a high priority for IEA.
Over the last two years, thanks to the IEA initiative, teachers and support staff statewide have received information and training on identifying students whose Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) could impact their ability to learn at school.
In the spring of 2015, social worker Nelba Marquez-Greene, the mother of Ana Grace, a victim of the Sandy Hook school shooting, addressed IEA's annual Representative Assembly. Marquez-Greene has dedicated her life to identifying troubled youth and connecting them to the services they need.
Marquez-Greene, helped us develop the "Know Me, Know My Name" program wherein school personnel, through a process at the start of the school year, work to identify students most likely to slip the through the cracks. The teachers and school support staff build relationships and form meaningful bonds with these students. Science shows a healthy relationship with a caring adult can mean the difference between failure and success for many students.
The organization took the initiative to another level when the Illinois House passed an IEA-backed resolution calling for the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Administrative Office of the Courts, and the Illinois Department of Corrections "to become informed regarding well-documented detrimental short-term and long-term impacts to children and adults from serious traumatic childhood experiences."
When ACEs are identified and addressed, students are more likely to show up to school, get better grades and graduate.
What Angela McQueen did was brave, heroic and very loving. Her compassion and dedication reflect the commitment to students that Illinois school employees bring to work every day.

Several dozen of us, representing seemingly every Asian ethnicity, filled a Houston banquet room for an early evening reception organized by the Asian American Republicans of Texas. We were all dressed to the nines, and some of us literally wore our cultural pride, with two Desi women attiring themselves in sarongs and one gentleman wearing his turban according to his Sikh religious devotion.
Just hours before, I had finished my volunteer shift as an "usher" at the 1992 Republican National Convention. Later that night, I would join thousands in the Astrodome to hear my hero Jack Kemp address both the delegates in the stadium and Americans watching at home. But at the moment, looking around the banquet room, I was struck by how much we Asian Americans had improved our standing in the GOP.
This reception was really much more than a dinner; it was a celebration of Asian America's growing strength within the Republican Party. In fact, 55 percent of voting Asian Americans would cast their ballots that year for President George H. W. Bush against Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and independent Texas billionaire Ross Perot.
55 percent. To say things have changed is actually an understatement. If polls for the 2016 general election hold, the percentage of Asian Americans casting votes for Donald Trump will measure a dramatically lower 25 percent. I can't help but wonder how many of the folks at that reception have, like me, left the party over the years.
But the mood among us Asian American Republicans at the 1992 convention was bullish. We were growing both in numbers and in confidence that we had a major role to play in the GOP of the future. This seemed all the more true to me after the reception, when I met up with the other special pass holders for that night's convention session. As I gathered with the other several dozen of them in the halls of the Astrodome, I saw that many of them were Chinese American high schoolers, enthusiastic about President Bush's re-election campaign and the GOP. More Asian teens getting involved with the Republican Party seemed to bode well for the future of Asian American influence within it.
We were actually following in the Republican footsteps of Hiram Fong of Hawai'i. He's not often celebrated today, sadly, but he was the first Asian American to serve in the U.S. Senate (1959-1977).
At the 1992 Republican National Convention, those of us holding specially designated "RALLY!" passes were about to play our own choreographed role. (I had received my pass courtesy of "Susan from New Jersey," my fellow morning session volunteer.) We were the convention's seat fillers!
Seat fillers, if that's a new term for you, are folks whose role at the annual Academy Awards (a.k.a. the Oscars) is to occupy a seat when a celebrity gets up for a few minutes. Said celebrity may be getting ready to present an award or perhaps simply sit on the loo. But whatever the reason, the producers of the Oscars really like it when the crowd looks full, so when a celebrity gets up, a seat filler occupies that person's seat until they return. It's a bit of fakery, all for the audience at home.
Those of us holding the special passes at the convention were to serve a similar function. At a designated time just before the major networks interrupted their programming to cover the most prominent speakers, we were to flood the aisles in between state delegation seating areas. Our aim was to create the appearance of a huge crowd enthusiastically supporting the party and its nominees. It was our bit of fakery, all for the audience at home.
Most of the TV audience doesn't ever realize, of course, that that's how it's done. But just watch C-Span during its daytime coverage of either the Democratic or Republican conventions, and you'll see how empty the floor is, and how unengaged and literally "out to lunch" some of the delegates are. There just aren't normally massive throngs of people on the floor during most of the convention.
But on my night at the 1992 Republican National Convention, when the time came, my fellow RALLY! volunteers and I spilled onto the Astrodome floor and took our places, turning the area closest to the daïs into a standing-room-only space. At that exact moment, the legendary former quarterback of the NFL Dallas Cowboys, Roger Staubach, was introducing Jack Kemp. Holding aloft our Bush-Quayle '92 and Jack Kemp signs, we erupted in loud cheers as the old Bills quarterback, former Buffalo congressman, current Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and believer in the Party of Lincoln came to the mic.
[Let's get] America moving again and finally wage a winning war against poverty and despair.
The purpose of a great party is not to defeat its opponents. The purpose of a great party is to provide superior leadership and cause. It's not to denounce the past. It's to inspire our nation to a better future.
Reflecting on the Los Angeles riots following the acquittal of the police officers accused in the Rodney King case: This is the message of every … pocket of poverty in America. We must be the party that gives all people a stake in the system and a stake in each other. … We must bring alive the promise of the Declaration of Independence to all people everywhere.
His words capped off a special night on what had been a fantastically memorable day for me.
But all I have these days are just memories of the Republican Party I was once a part of. From my conversations with other Asian Americans who were active in the GOP back then, I know I'm not alone.
This is the kind of thinking that so many people of color, myself included, have had to overcome over the last century and a half. As early as preschool and elementary school, we have wondered to ourselves whether we were fully American because we weren't white. Often, we received messages from others, both overt and subtle, that we weren't as American as white folk.
The 2016 incarnation of the GOP continues to send that message, loud and clear. Despite the GOP's token attempts to show it still welcomes people of color, the party has come to stand for something quite Orwellian à la Animal Farm: all are equal, but some are more equal than others.
This Republican Party is one that Jack Kemp, Hiram Fong, and Abraham Lincoln would disavow. This GOP will only reinforce my daughter's struggle to see herself as fully American because she's not white.
This same daughter of mine did a report in her class on the Statue of Liberty earlier this year. She became familiar with the words of Emma Lazarus' famous sonnet "The New Colossus," inscribed on a plaque at Lady Liberty's feet. That's the poem with the famous lines "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." My daughter even dressed up as the Statue of Liberty for her presentation – torch, tiara, and all.
I have no doubt my daughter knows more of what it means to be an American than the Republican leadership these days.

There is an instantly recognisable nostalgic element to your designs and illustrations – what is your own favourite era (or eras) and why?
There are so many inspiring elements from a number of eras but I would have to say that I'm drawn to the late 50's and early 60's more than any other. There was this simplicity and craftsmanship to that era that is so beautiful to me. Everything from modern, minimal architecture to vibrant technicolor films. There are so many designs that have become timeless from that time and I find that incredibly fascinating. I try to pull some of that nostalgia and quality into my work and hope that I, too, end up with lasting designs.
Can you share some of the illustrators and designers that you admire?
Some of my favorite illustrators are Mary Blair, Don Freeman, Charley Harper, Edward Gorey, and a number of folk artists. Designers I admire are Peter Buchan-Smith, Stefan Sagmeister, and Paul Rand. There are different things that I admire about each of them ranging from innovation (Sagmeister) to beautiful simplicity (Buchan-Smith) to a sense of humor (Gorey).
What are some of the tools of your trade (paints, pens, brushes etc)?
I primarily paint with gouache, which is like an opaque watercolour. I paint my illustrations and all of my lettering with brushes (usually quite small) on watercolour paper and then scan the art to make adjustments on the computer. I also paint to scale so that I can see how the design is shaping up while I work.
What's your preferred paper stock?
There are a couple U.S. paper mills that I lean toward because of their quality standards. I love uncoated paper and seeing how different paper stocks feel (how smooth or soft it is). I also choose stocks based on the color. I get in trouble sometimes for being so picky but there are about 50 different shades of cream. I try to pick just the right tone to match the mood I'm going for and to complement the illustrations.
How do you see digital and analog sitting alongside each other, especially in the arena of 'social stationery' as you so eloquently put it?
I think stationery has taken on a much more special meaning and role in people's lives. Now that you don't have to use it, it means that much more. Anyone can send a birthday message through their phone so receiving a card in the mail shows so much thought and effort. I don't think technology will ever get rid of the stationery industry. I think it'll just take on different meanings as we move forward. As a designer it's my job to notice those changes and adjust our products accordingly.
What's on the horizon for Rifle Paper Co.?
So many things! I was just planning out our goals for the next year and there are a lot of exciting projects on the horizon. We're starting to expand our line with gifts products that aren't just cards or paper-based. I'm also planning a unique side project that will debut next Spring and will showcase a different aesthetic.


There has been some polite jostling going on this week between the U.S. Navy and Chinese military over the tepid waters of the South China Sea.
There has been some polite jostling going on this week between the U.S. Navy and Chinese military over the tepid waters of the South China Sea. With that in mind, here is a reading list about how to better understand today's China. I confess I haven't read any of them, partly because the list is of recent Western books about current Chinese culture and business practices.
And while you are reading, here is a scorecard on the players.
If I were trying to understand China, I think I might begin with one of my favorite novels, The Vagrants. Also, for your files, China now imports more oil than the U.S. does.
Meanwhile, here's a reading list about possible future wars. Good subject for a list.
Also, given that it is Memorial Day weekend, you might wanna add this to your reading plans.

Equal Rights Amendment: How Long Must We Wait?
by Jessica Laus | Jan 31, 2020 | Articles, Featured Articles, Stories, Uncategorized
In 1923, Alice Paul, a leader of the women's suffrage movement from Mount Laurel, New Jersey, introduced the Equal Rights Amendment in Seneca Falls, New York, the site of the first women's rights convention in 1848. The proposed amendment would guarantee that the rights affirmed by the United States Constitution are held equally by all citizens without regard to their sex, and it was introduced to Congress that year and reintroduced in every subsequent session for half a century.

Food retail chain SPAR International has reported that global retail sales in 2016 rose by 4.5% on a constant currency basis to €33.1 billion.
The increase was driven by strong growth across Europe as well as continued expansion into new and developing markets.
There was 4.8% growth in SPAR's traditional European markets with SPAR's nine Eurozone countries increasing retail sales to €15 billion and SPAR UK recording 8% growth in local currency.
Sales in Central and Eastern Europe were up 6.5% in Euro terms. Sales in Russia rose by 7.7% in local currency.
In addition, there was sustained growth in Africa and the Middle East where the SPAR brand now has a presence in 15 markets.
Addressing delegates at the 62nd International SPAR Congress in Gran Canaria, SPAR International managing director Tobias Wasmuht said: "In what was a record year for SPAR, the blend of like-for-like organic growth, successful acquisitions and strategic new country expansion, resulted in the brand growing at its fastest rate in 10 years.
During the year, the SPAR brand launched in new territories such as Thailand and Albania with further expansion through new regional partners in China and Russia. Additional territories were licenced during the year with stores scheduled to open in 2017 in Mongolia, Malta and Sri Lanka.
There was an increase of 369 stores year-on-year in 2016 to bring the total store number to 12,545 across the world.

OMG! WOW! YIPPEE! WOOOHOOO! I got this nice surprise in my mailbox yesterday! THANKS Noumena! Big Huggz!!
This is on its way to a member of the Chapter 12 Exchange group!
Received for the Chapter 12 Exchange via BookObsessed.com. Thanks!


I just had a wonderful long weekend with three incredible friends and artists. After all I have been this last year I was very eager to have this play time with them.
Lora Hart came to visit us from California, her first stop was in Austin where Vickie Hallmark lives, I met with them the following day and we sure had a super great time.
Vickie's home is beautiful and her studios and her where very inspirational. As soon as I got into her home I got into action and joined Lora in the enameling adventure.
as you can see in these images.
We sure laughed a lot trying to get one decent image!
Enameling was super fun, Vickie showed us how to enamel with a torch and use enamel paintings. It was incredible to see how easy and fast you can be able to add so much color and at the same time draw with enamels.
These are the pieces I painted with enamels, I sure know I have lots to practice still but to consider we made them in such a short period of time, I am happy with them.
Yes, I had to add lots of color.
It is impossible for me to be plain.
how I was able to draw in such a small area.
That is my finger holding one of them!
Vickie also showed us how to make an inspirational book.
Vickie Hallmark, our teacher !
Ready to start drawing !
Our next adventure was in San Antonio, I took them to some great galleries in the city and one of our fist stops was Equinox Gallery where we met the wonderful Laura Wood.
Laura came home to watch the Oscars with us and also to talked with us about her paper work and how she makes it.
Thanks Laura for sharing this with us !!
My husband was very happy to cook for us all.
If you want see Lora's and Vickie's blog post about this adventure, click in the links.
You never know, Kalaya. Maybe one day I will go to New Orleans!!
Oops...forgot to mention that I LOVE your painted enamels. Did you have to fire them in the kiln after painting them on? I only have experience with the powder enamels. I'm loving your choice of colors. Bravo!
Everything was torch fired. the first coat was powder enamel on white, after that we out lined with back and torch fired it again. the last thing was to paint with the enamels and torch fired them again.
Wonderful, it's obvious you all had so much fun!!!
Thanks for the "report" with all the great pictures, Lorena! I was thinking of you all weekend.
We wished you could be able to be with us. Maybe next time!!
Yes, it was a super fun weekend !


We've got some fun crafts lined up for our February class!
Children will get to create their own little pet rock complete with googly eyes, put together a heart necklace, and a "Whoooo's the Best?" owl magnet. Cutie oranges will be provided as a snack.
Parents will need to stay with their child to assist with projects.
Children will be creating their own heart-shaped nail art, a silly Valentines emoji magnet, and a heart necklace. Cutie oranges will be provided as a snack. Parents are not required to stay for this class.

Q: Error in Angular: Can't bind to 'ngForOf' since it isn't a known property of 'div' I can't use directive *ngFor. I've searched all the posible solutions, but I can't fix it.
Here is my code:
sobre-nosotros.component.html:

Card title

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.

      Go somewhere

sobre-nosotros.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CochesInterface } from '../interfaces/CochesInterface';
import { CochesServiceService } from '../services/coches-service.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-sobre-nosotros',
  templateUrl: './sobre-nosotros.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./sobre-nosotros.component.css']
})
export class SobreNosotrosComponent implements OnInit {

  public test:number[]=[1,2,3,4,5];

  constructor(private cochesService: CochesServiceService) {
  }

  ngOnInit() {

  }
}

And I've following error:

My app.module
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HeaderComponent } from './components/header/header.component';
import { FooterComponent } from './components/footer/footer.component';

import { InicioComponent } from './inicio/inicio.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    HeaderComponent,
    FooterComponent,
    InicioComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

I don't know what could be the problem. Is a project recently created, so I don't touched anything.

A: You need to import the CommonModule as  ngIf and ngFor are declared there.
Ref:
Frequently-used modules

A: You should declare your SobreNosotrosComponent in the app.module, like you did InicioComponent. Then stop and relaunch ng serve process. This should fix it.

Політична партія «Українське об'єднання патріотів — УКРОП» — у минулому українська політична партія що проіснувала з липня 2015 по червень 2020 року, коли партія де-факто припинила існування зробивши частковий ребрендинг та трансформувашись в партію За майбутнє.

Історія

Історія появи та зникнення партії
Партія зареєстрована Міністерством юстиції України 15 червня 2015 року. На опублікованому свідоцтві № 250 вказана дата реєстрації 25 вересня 2014 року, а згідно з даними Державної реєстраційної служби під цим свідоцтвом значилася партія «Патріотичний альянс». Таким чином за даними журналістів була перейменована стара вже існуюча партія, що дозволило УКРОПу узяти участь в місцевих виборах у жовтні 2015 року.

У серпні 2019 року в українському медійному середовищі з'явилися чутки, що головний спонсор партії Ігор Коломойський збирається закрити партію, після того як головний київський осередок партії було закрито. Згодом, у червні 2020 року партія УКРОП де-факто припинила існування зробивши частковий ребрендинг та трансформувашись в партію За майбутнє.

Питання назви та символіки

Дизайн нашивок із зображенням кропу був розроблений і розповсюджений мережею українським художником Андрієм Єрмоленком. Шеврони набули великої популярності серед бійців АТО, волонтерів, та звичайних українців. Під час виступу в Маріуполі перед працівниками Металургійного комбінату ім. Ілліча навіть Президент Порошенко приміряв його на себе.

Скандал навколо логотипу партії спалахнув під час агітаційної компанії у Чернігівській області на виборах у 205 окрузі. Логотип «Укропа» був зареєстрований без відома автора роботи як логотип партії. Крім того, відоме зображеннями кропу з'явився на агітаційних наметах партії у Чернігівській області.

Коментуючи використання логотипу Єрмоленко сказав: «Цікаво, а хтось із них додумався, чи я дам дозвіл на використання цієї символіки для партії? Корбан про то думав! Я ж це робив для наших вояків, а не для партій, яким я не довіряю!.. В іншій країні, я був би вже заможною людиною, а в нашій відчуваю себе обікраним ЛОХОМ!».

За кілька днів голова партії Геннадій Корбан заявив, що конфлікт було вичерпано. Єрмоленко підтвердив, що була підписана угода про співпрацю, за якою змінений варіант логотипу був переданий у користування партії «за одну гривню».

Коментуючи використання логотипу, позаштатний радник міністра в АТО та нардеп Олександр Бригинець сказав що на його думку:

З'їзди

3 березня 2018
XIV з'їзд пройшов у Києві, у заході взяли участь 400 делегатів, одним з питань було обрання голови партії на чотири роки. Ним став народний депутат Тарас Батенко. Також було розпочали процедуру внутрішньопартійних президентських праймеріз.

12 вересня 2017
УКРОП вирішив делегувати кандидатів на вибори депутатів та голів сільських, селищних, міських рад об'єднаних територіальних громад, що відбудуться 29 жовтня 2017 року.

25 листопада 2016
ХІ з'їзд затвердив склад ради партії та комісії контролю. Головою комісії обраний олігарх Ігор Коломойський.

27 травня 2016
Було розглянуто висування кандидатів у нардепи на виборах 17 липня 2016 року.

12 липня 2015
Обрано контрольно-ревізійну комісію та політичну раду, її головою став Геннадій Корбан.

Керівництво
 Голова партії — із 3 березня 2018 року посаду обіймає Батенко Тарас Іванович.
 Вищий керівний орган партії — з'їзд партії.
Голови політради
 13.05.2016 — 03.03.2018 — Батенко Тарас;
 23.01.2016 — 13.05.2016 — Борисенко Денис Валерійович;
 15.06.2015 — 23.01.2016 — Корбан Геннадій.

Ідеологія

Партія позиціонує себе як представник правоцентризму. За словами Віталія Купрія партія має «…більш ліберальні погляди, не радикальні: це підтримка середнього класу, підтримка підприємництва, демонополізація економіки, зменшення торговельних бар'єрів, спрощення податкового законодавства. Але у нас обов'язково буде ухил на патріотизм».

Участь партії у виборах

Проміжні вибори народного депутата на 205 окрузі

На виборах на 205 окрузі, що пройшли у Чернігові 26 липня 2015 року кандидатом в нардепи був висунутий голова партії Корбан. Під час виборів були зафіксовані численні порушення законодавства, найбільше було порушень з боку двох основних кандидатів — Березенка та Корбана, однак суд відмовився визнавати порушення обох сторін. Зокрема, Корбана звинувачували у роздачі продуктових наборів та у підкупі виборців. Ні Корбан, ні Березенко до початку виборів не були в Чернігові, однак під час виборчої компанії заявляли, що добре знають проблеми чернігівців.
За підсумками голосування народним депутатом від 205 округу був обраний Березенко з результатом 35,90 % (17782 голосів). Корбан отримав 14,76 % (7311 голосів). Після того як результати голосування були опубліковані ЦВК, Корбан заявив що не визнає своєї поразки, а його опонент переміг завдяки «налагодженій мережі зі скуповування голосів на 60 тисяч осіб».

Місцеві вибори 2015 року

12 вересня 2015 партія заявила про плани брати участь у місцевих виборах 25 жовтня 2015 року. Партія висунула Бориса Філатова як кандидата на роль мера Дніпропетровська, а Корбана на роль мера столиці України. Корбан прокоментував рішення: «Ми прийняли рішення про висунення наших команд в місцеві ради по усій країні і по підтримці кандидатів в мери низки ключових міст».

За зведеними результати виборів до обласних рад та Київської міської ради, партія УКРОП отримала:

Вибори до ВРУ 17 липня 2016 року
На проміжних виборах до ВРУ, що відбулися 17 липня 2016 року, представниця партії Ірина Констанкевич у 23-му окрузі на Волині набрала 57,42 % голосів виборців.

Підприємець Віктор Шевченко переміг у 85-му окрузі на Прикарпатті з результатом 21,19 % голосів. Найближчий його суперник — Сергій Насалик, якого висунув Блок Петра Порошенка «Солідарність», здобув 19,72 % підтримки.

Вибори в об'єднаних територіальних громадах (ОТГ) 11 та 18 грудня 2016 року
Згідно з першими місцевими виборами в об'єднаних територіальних громадах (ОТГ) у грудні 2016 року, 229 депутатів від партії працюватимуть у радах ОТГ. Загальний партійний результат партії — 5,72 %.

УКРОП отримав 6 голів ОТГ — з урахуванням кандидатів, які висувалися за підтримки партії.

Вибори ОТГ 30 квітня 2017 року
Партія тримала посади депутатів у 26 громадах 13 областей.

Вибори ОТГ 29 жовтня 2017 року
Партія отримала місця 282 депутати в 21 області України.

Вибори ОТГ 24 грудня 2017 року
5,7 % українців підтримали УКРОП на виборах.

Кримінальне розслідування щодо Корбана
31 жовтня 2015 року Корбан був затриманий у своїй квартирі в Дніпрі під час операції ГПУ і СБУ по боротьбі з організованими злочинними угруповуваннями. Йому пред'явлені звинувачення за 4 статтями ККУ:
 255 (створення організованої злочинної організації),
 191 (привласнення, розтрата майна: за фактом розкрадання коштів з «Фонду оборони країни»),
 349 (затримання представника влади або співробітника правоохоронних органів як заручника: викрадення голови Державного земельного агентства Сергія Рудика та секретаря Дніпровської міськради Олександра Величко),
 289 (викрадення автомобільного транспорту).
Того ж дня СБУ доставило Корбана у слідчий ізолятор у Чернігові. Перевіряли інформацію про керівництво Корбаном організованою злочинною групою. Було вилучено 1,3 млн $ і 40 млн грн в офісах і приватних приміщеннях.

Під час обшуків у центральному офісі партії у Дніпрі вилучили понад 1 млн $, 5 автоматів Калашникова й апаратуру для прослуховування в різних стандартах стільникового зв'язку, а також велику кількість печаток суб'єктів підприємницької діяльності та печатку Управління комунальної власності Дніпропетровської міської ради.

За підсумками розгляду питання про запобіжний захід, яке тривало у Печерському райсуді Києва з 9:00 5 листопада до 8:00 6 листопада, суд прийняв рішення про домашній арешт Корбана.

The Joshua Tree Tour was a concert tour by Irish rock band U2. Staged in support of their 1987 album The Joshua Tree, the tour visited arenas and stadiums across North America and Europe from April to December 1987. The tour was depicted on the video and live album Live from Paris, and on the 1988 album and documentary film Rattle and Hum.

Itinerary

This tour's opening night was 2 April at Arizona State University's Activity Center in Tempe, Arizona. The day before the opening night, Bono fell onto a spotlight he was carrying during a rendition of "Bullet the Blue Sky", cutting open his chin.  Bono had partially lost his voice as a result.  He asked the audience to help him sing the majority of the set, which they were happy to do.  At the time, it was explained by their publicists in a press release that it was due to the week of rehearsals the band held at A.S.U.'s Activity Center and he had over rehearsed his voice.  He had fully regained his voice for the second of the two shows at the arena on 4 April.

The first leg took place in American indoor arenas during April and May. The first leg finished with 5 concerts at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford between 11 and 16 May.

The second leg in European arenas and outdoor stadiums ran from late May through to early August, starting at the Stadio Flaminio in Rome on 27 May. The final show of the European leg is at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on 8 August.

The third leg returned to American and Canadian arenas and stadiums in the autumn. The tour ended on 20 December back where it started in Tempe, Arizona, but this time at Sun Devil Stadium.

On 30 April, the band played the Pontiac Silverdome, their first headlining stadium show in the United States. While the show's reviews were positive, they said that a video screen is necessary for people at the back. U2 production manager, Willie Williams, recalls the debate within the band about the use of screens and whether they would divide the audience's attention between the stage and the screen. A video screen was installed behind the lighting tower at the 20 September show at the RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. so the back half of the stadium could better see the band, and screens were used at most stadium shows for the rest of the tour.

The Joshua Tree Tour sold out stadiums around the world, the first time the band had consistently played venues of that size. The Joshua Tree and its singles had become huge hits and the band had reached a new height in their popularity.  Tickets for shows were often very hard to get, especially on the first American leg when they only played in arenas.

That first leg was also organised around multiple-night stands in centres of U2 fandom along the two U.S. coasts, with only a very few dates in the middle of the country. These multiple-night stands also featured an unusual set list twist. All but the last night would begin in conventional concert fashion with the rousing pair of "Where the Streets Have No Name" into "I Will Follow", but the last night in each city would begin with the house lights fully up and the band performing the early 1960s classic "Stand by Me", with guitarist the Edge singing one verse, all intended as a friendly, informal opening. The house lights would then stay up for "Pride (In the Name of Love)", only going off at the end of it; the rest of the set list would be consequently scrambled from the norm.

The new level of fame, exposure and the frantic nature of the tour put the U2 organisation under a large amount of stress.

Cover performances

At Wembley Stadium in London, Bono sang The Beatles' "Help!", dedicating it to those in the audience who were dreading another five years of the recently re-elected Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. As another sign of the group's confidence, they also covered The Beatles' heretofore untouchable "Helter Skelter", declaring "This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles; we're stealin' it back." Other notable covers from the tour included Eddie Cochran's "C'mon Everybody", Peggy Seeger's "The Ballad of Springhill", Neil Young's "Southern Man", Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" (during which Bono would invite a fan to play guitar on the song) and numerous Bob Dylan covers including "Maggie's Farm" and "I Shall Be Released".  On 20 April, following a performance of I Shall Be Released in Los Angeles, the band surprised the audience by bringing out Dylan himself for a performance of Knockin' on Heaven's Door.  During the performance, Bono jokingly said, "I usually make up my own words to Bob Dylan songs.  He says he doesn't mind."  Dylan replied in kind, saying "I do it too."  Bono often would sing excerpts of other songs, notably ones by The Rolling Stones and Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, near the end of the song Bad as he had done during the Live Aid performance and would do on later tours.

U2 covered Ben E. King's "Stand By Me" at their 25 September, '87 show at Philadelphia's old JFK Stadium, accompanied by a guest performance from Bruce Springsteen.

The band performed "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" at their final concert in Tempe, Arizona on 20 December 1987.  The band had recorded the track for the compilation album A Very Special Christmas months earlier on the European leg of their tour.

Filming for Rattle and Hum documentary
The band filmed and recorded various shows from the tour for the documentary and album Rattle and Hum. The band filmed the black-and-white footage at Denver's McNichols Sports Arena on 7 and 8 November 1987. They chose the city following the success of their Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky video, which was filmed at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 1983. "We thought lightning might strike twice", said guitarist The Edge. Seven songs from the second show were used in the film, none from the first. Hours before the second Denver show, an IRA bomb killed eleven people at a Remembrance Day ceremony in the Northern Irish town of Enniskillen (see Remembrance Day Bombing).  Bono addressed the event angrily during the band's performance of Sunday Bloody Sunday, which was included in the film.  Bono's reference to the number of people killed in the incident was later edited for the film to reflect the actual number.

The band also gave a brief, free performance in San Francisco, California three days later on 11 November 1987, billed as the "Save the Yuppies" concert, from which the performance of "All Along the Watchtower" was taken for the film and album.  During the performance of "Sunday Bloody Sunday", Bono observed a fan holding a sign with the letters "SF" and "U2" on it.  Believing the "SF" in the sign to refer to Sinn Féin, Bono reacted angrily to the fan and the sign, apparently not realizing that the "SF" more likely stood for San Francisco.  Also during the performance, Bono spray painted "Stop the Traffic, Rock and Roll" on the Vaillancourt Fountain in Justin Herman Plaza, which was captured in the film.  The act angered some, including then-mayor Dianne Feinstein.

At least part of the band's second concert in Fort Worth, Texas was filmed and featured in the film, as the band performed an early version of the then-unreleased song "When Love Comes to Town" with blues performer B.B. King.  The band would go on to tour with King on their Lovetown Tour two years later.

Colour outdoor concert footage was taken from the band's Tempe, Arizona shows on 19 December 1987 and 20 December 1987. The initial plan was that the colour outdoor footage would have been taken during 2 shows in Buenos Aires, but during the tour planning this became impossible due to heavy costs to transport all the equipment. The shows were the final two of the tour, having been held in the same city in which the tour opened.

Support acts
A number of opening acts were used for the tour. Lone Justice was still given emphasis in this role, as they had been on the Unforgettable Fire Tour, but it was not enough to give them a successful career.  Other openers included The Pretenders, Big Audio Dynamite, UB40, Little Steven, BoDeans, Mason Ruffner, World Party, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Spear of Destiny, The Waterboys, Hurrah!, Los Lobos, Buckwheat Zydeco, The Pogues, The Alarm, The Silencers, Primus, and Lou Reed.

On 1 November in Indianapolis, U2 appeared as their own support act, disguised as "The Dalton Brothers", playing between sets by the BoDeans and Los Lobos. They were dressed in Western outfits and wigs while Bono spoke with a twangy southern accent. Playing their own country-influenced song, "Lucille", and Hank Williams' "Lost Highway", only some of the audience in the front few rows recognised them. "The Dalton Brothers" also appeared at concerts in Los Angeles and Hampton, Virginia.

B.B. King was the opening act for both final shows of the tour on 19 and 20 December at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, and in Fort Worth same year.

Injuries
During rehearsals on 1 April 1987, the day before the opening show in Tempe, Arizona, Bono fell onto a spotlight he was carrying during a rendition of "Bullet the Blue Sky", cutting open his chin. He was taken to a hospital and the wound was stitched up. Bono later said, "I was lost in the music and at the start of any tour you're just getting to know the physicality of the stage... and you're overestimating your own physicality. You think you're made of metal and you're not. Cuts and bruises, that's what I remember from The Joshua Tree."

Bono sustained a second injury on 20 September 1987 during a concert at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. on the third leg of the tour. He fell off the rain-slicked stage and dislocated his arm. He completed the performance and had his arm popped back into place after its conclusion. His arm was in a sling for twelve shows between 22 September and 20 October, which is visible at some points during the 1988 film Rattle and Hum.

Commercial performance
On the first North American leg of the tour, the band grossed US$7,501,329 from 465,452 tickets sold across 29 shows. For the Las Vegas show, 1,063 tickets remained unsold, equating to a 99.77% sellout for the 1st American leg. The 79 North American shows on the tour sold 2,035,539 tickets and grossed US$35 million. In total, the tour grossed US$40 million and drew 3 million attendees.

West Po selected to join FCPS's Free Feminine Products Program
Ruth Dean, Writer|November 18, 2019
West Potomac is one out of the group of 37 elementary, middle, and high schools that have been funded by the school board to start a new free menstrual products pilot program this year. Ryan McElveen, one of the School Board members, is the co-sponsor of this program to take an initiative to relieve the financial and other burdens of menstrual health of students.
"The program first started at Justice High School last year as a trial run, and was successful enough to spread to more schools in the county, " he said.
The budget for this program is $200,000 to foster the pilot program. "The budget came from the set aside money in the general budget from Fairfax County Public Schools, however, the School Board is also pursuing funding from the state and federal government," McElveen said.
There are two ways that the county is implementing program which will provide sanitary pads in the restrooms. One model is to place bins in the girls' bathrooms filled with pads, and the other model is placing Evogen pad dispensers in the target bathrooms, he said.
The pilot program will start soon as McElveen stated, "When it comes to menstrual health, the sooner the better. The Student Services department is assembling the products and price quotes, so they will start appearing in schools in the next few months."
Junior Kylie Rapp, president of Girl Up, an organization to support programs to give girls in developing countries equal opportunities, is excited about this new change. "Menstrual equity is extremely important to girls' education and for ensuring quality and equal education for those who can't afford menstrual products. This is especially important to West Po because of the range of financial diversity we have," Rapp said.
As of October 21, Jill John, West Po's finance technician, had not yet been notified about any funding for this program at West Po, and it remains unclear as to the logistics of how West Po will implement the program.

The Bryan & Vinny & Craig Show is back today with a look back at WCW and WWF 19 years ago this week: August 30, 1999!
May as well just play Nitro on the Death of WCW panel at Starrcast, an awful and completely indefensible show. It had the debut of the KISS Demon (at least on the WWE Network), Lex Luger's big hummer reveal, the Revolution, a bunch of matches that legitimately happened as Nitro ran unopposed, Lodi vs. Kaz Hayashi, Vampiro and the Dead Pool everywhere and a main event featuring Goldberg and Hulk Hogan taking on the Jersey Triad.
Raw was barely any better outside the Rock and Sock Connection bantering back and forth. It had the start of the demise of Pepper, the beginnings of the Rock and Sock Connection, who would be the best Best Man in a wedding, the story of every tag team ever fighting each other for a tag team title shot no one ended up getting and a main event with The Undertaker and Big Show taking on The Rock and Mankind. Depressing programs but hopefully this is a fun show as always so check it out~!

Катха́к — один из стилей индийского классического танца.

Танцевальная форма катхак зародилась в Северной Индии, в Уттар-Прадеш. Первыми её исполнителями были храмовые сказители, иллюстрировавшие мифологические эпизоды жестикуляцией и танцами. В эпоху Великих Моголов катхак, став придворным танцем, обогатился новыми элементами, в частности — сложными ритмами. В результате, катхак соединил в себе индуистские храмовые традиции и традиции мусульманского двора.

Катхак исполняются под классическую музыку хиндустани. Оркестр, как правило, состоит из таблы, пакхаваджа, саранги, ситара и сарода. Исполнители выступают как в индуистской, так и в мусульманской одежде.

В сольном исполнении катхак включает в себя малые композиции нритта, каждая из которых исполняется на определённый ритм (тала). Ритм задаёт табла, которой вторит ритмическая дробь ступней исполнителя. Танцовщица движется не сгибая туловища, делая стремительные пируэты, которые являются визитной карточкой катхака. Композиция может быть короткой и исполняться в быстром темпе. Важнейшим элементом катхака является дробное притопывание, состоящее из сложнейших ритмических узоров, называемых таткара.

Acquisition of manifestation during morphogenesis of the mammalian secondary palate. novel
November 16, 2017 by Leo Gilbert·2 Comments
Acquisition of manifestation during morphogenesis of the mammalian secondary palate. novel phenotypic qualities during mammalian development has been posited to result from changes in gene manifestation patterns, which are mediated by gain of fresh and family are known to be involved in palatogenesis [11, 12]. Agenesis of the secondary palate, known as cleft lip/palate, is one of the most common congenital problems in humans, occurring once in every 700 newborns [11]. In this regard, is one of the possible responsible genes recognized by genetic association studies of human being cleft lip/palate SGX-145 [13]. Correspondingly, mice lacking or its non-canonical receptor are created with cleft palate [14, 15]. Consequently, exposing the molecular regulatory mechanisms of such genes, which remain largely unknown, is essential to our understanding of the molecular basis of mammalian-specific morphological development as well as that of the cleft lip/palate defect in humans. Transposable elements Mouse monoclonal to LPA (TEs), i.e., retroposons and DNA transposons, occupy nearly half of mammalian genomes. Retroposons such as SINEs propagate their copies via reverse-transcription of their RNA intermediates, with reintegration of the copied DNA, whereas DNA transposons just directly relocate within the genome [16C18]. Although TEs are, in general, regarded as genomic parasites or SGX-145 sometimes as harmful dynamic mutagens, we for the first time proposed, together with the Bejeranos group, that some TEs are involved in macro-evolution by showing that they overlap with CNEs [7, 19]. This truth implies that TEs under purifying selection acquired functions during development [20, 21], which is called exaptation [22] or co-option, and that many types of TEs such as SINEs might have contributed to numerous morphological improvements during mammalian development [8]. Indeed, we previously shown that hundreds of AmnSINE1 sequences are evolutionarily conserved among mammals [7, 23, 24]. One AmnSINE1 is an enhancer of in the diencephalon, and another functions as an enhancer of manifestation in the deep coating of the neocortex, especially in callosal projection neurons [23, 25, 26]. Further, the LF-SINE locus, which is definitely shared among tetrapods, serves as a distal enhancer of the neurodevelopmental gene [19], and offers two neuronal enhancers derived from CORE-SINE and MaLR [27, 28]. Thus, it has been clearly founded that TEs are one of the main sources of during palatogenesis. This is an unprecedented example, to our knowledge, in which three different TEs put side-by-side play a cooperative part in the distal enhancer function within a CNE. TEs located proximal to one another may have potential as genetic sources of diversity of regulatory elements and that such cooperative enhancers might have contributed to mammalian morphological development through controlling spatiotemporally diverse manifestation of various genes. Results AS3_9 locus like a distal enhancer of in the embryonic frontonasal region including PS The 1.2-kb AS3_9 locus is located at chr3:54916774C54917973 of the human being genome (GRCh38/hg38) (Fig 1A and 1B). This locus is one of the hundreds of AmnSINE1-derived CNEs in mammals recognized by our group [24]. With this locus, the AmnSINE1-related region is definitely 71.4% identical to nucleotide positions 391C501 of its original consensus sequence (Fig 1B, S2 Fig) [7]. To test whether the evolutionarily conserved AS3_9 locus possesses an SGX-145 enhancer functionas is the case for additional AmnSINE1-derived CNEs [23, 25, 26]we performed a transgenic mouse enhancer analysis using a create comprising AS3_9 and a reporter gene (Fig 1B). The transgenic mice (AS3_9-manifestation in the frontonasal region at embryonic day time 13.5 (E13.5) (Fig 1C, S3A Fig). Especially, was indicated in the frontonasal prominence including the medial and lateral nose processes, the maxillary processes that give rise to the top lip and PS, and mandibular processes that form the lower lip. The manifestation patterns in the frontonasal prominence during embryogenesis were consistent among the three AS3_9-mouse lines we founded in this study SGX-145 (S3B Fig). Fig 1 AS3_9 locus and its enhancer activity in the frontonasal region. We expected that this TE-derived CNE serves as a distal enhancer of a gene responsible for the development of the frontonasal region in mammals. The ~2-Mb region surrounding AS3_9 consists of eight genes (Fig 1A). We carried out hybridization (ISH) for each of the eight candidate genes by using the respective mRNA like a probe; this exposed that only is definitely indicated in the frontonasal region (S4 Fig). This is consistent with a earlier report that is indicated in the frontonasal prominence and anterior part of PS [14] and is responsible for secondary palate.


The original plan was to ride to the Ozark National Forest to meet my friend Rob. He was setting off on a ride from Birmingham, Alabama to the Yellowstone National Park, so I decided to join him for a segment within the Ozarks.
My ride began on Thursday afternoon - catching up with a rainstorm near Radford, VA. After a few hours of the wet ride, I was finally in Townsend, Tennessee to stay the night with friends. The next day I rode for about four hours to Montgomery Bell State Park near Nashville.
I unloaded my gear and headed to the trails. Although there were frequent trail markers, I found myself riding in circles and eventually decided to backtrack before becoming totally lost in the woods.
Once I was packed up again, I scouted out my lodging for the night - a backcountry shelter along one of the park's hiking trails.
As I sat by the shelter, picturing the next day's 8-hour ride, I decided I'd rather not continue any further. I was burnt out on the highway and certainly not looking forward to the return trip of roughly 20 hours on the asphalt. With that in mind, I chose to hike back to the bike, pack my things, and begin the drive east, going as far as I could before finding a roadside motel to crash for the night.
Although I'm slightly disappointed that I canned the trip to the Ozarks, it's quite a relief knowing that I didn't have to endure another second on the long, boring highway. Rob understood too, as he's giving himself much more time to complete his ride, allowing for some rural routes and a more enjoyable pace. I think I'll revisit this trip in the future - only if I'm able to allot more time to its completion.
On the way home I decided to visit another new trail system since I had the mountain bike with me. I jumped onto MTBProject and found the Crystal Springs Recreation Area in Wytheville, VA. The trails were decent and the springs were an excellent reward after the ride [both on the mountain bike and the motorcycle].
Rebecca and I tried to rendezvous along the Blue Ridge Parkway to camp that night along my ride home, but the lack of cell reception and some misdirection resulted in a delayed meeting around 8pm.
She hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast and we'd still need to take several trips up a Jeep trail to the campsite I'd chosen to relay our gear, so we decided to can that as well. She took off east towards Richmond while I made one more run into the woods to retrieve the gear I'd stashed at our campsite.
Eventually I was packed again and rolling home. I can hardly remember a time I'd wanted to be OFF the bike more.
After last year's event was rained out, I was eager to get back to Raystown Lake in order to receive my fair share of time on their trails. I was delighted to find agreeable conditions all three days of my time there.
Camping accommodations fill quickly at the Susquehannock sites, but I was lucky to find the nearby Trough Creek State Park only about 45 minutes away from the venue.
It was actually one of the highlights of the trip, with hiking trails and the beautiful creek to explore.
This year I rode three consecutive days - testing the trails on A Giant Trance, Yeti SB5, Transition Throttle, Evil Wreckoning, and Pivot Firebird. I'm quite happy with my Canfield Nimble9, so I wasn't riding with the intent of buying. Still, it was fun testing my hand at new suspension designs and the 1x12 gearing that most new rides have adopted. Although I didn't stay within the same "range" of models, the clear favorite was the Evil Wreckoning. What I like most about my Nimble9 is that it hides the fact that it rolls on 29" wheels, still providing a quick, snappy feel in the corners. This attribute seemed present in The Wreckoning also - and it did so with 160mm of travel front and rear.
The last time I went to VIR was one of the first trips with the bus. In a sort of commemoration of that trip, Scott, his son Alec, and I decided to make the trip to Alton, VA for the MotoAmerica race. Scott and Alec rode from Roanoke, while I drove my Vstrom from Richmond.
I arrived just as the national anthem played to begin the day's races. I unloaded my mountain bike from the new rack and began pedaling the perimeter of the spectator area as the 600cc class raced around the course.
Near the halfway point of the 1000cc class, Scott and Alec arrived. We watched that class finish their race and then made our way around the facility, exploring the pits and enjoying the sunny day that emerged from a gloomy forecast.
After the award ceremony, the place emptied out except for overnight campers. We rode into Milton, NC for dinner at Milton Tap & Dye, returning to a ghost town of sorts. We kept the good times rolling, though, kicking back a few cold ones and catching up on lost time. At one point a torrential rain fell from the sky, so we sprinted to my two-man tent and crammed in to wait it out. After that surprise, Scott and Alec decided to sleep under one of the event shelters instead of their original plan of sleeping under the stars.
In the morning, they woke me with the revving of their engines just outside the tent. I emerged and began packing up the bike to head out. Once on the road, we parted ways near Danville as I took 29N to Lynchburg.
The main attraction in Lynchburg was the series of mountain bike trails on the campus of Liberty University. Although I only scratched the surface, I was fairly impressed with the trails - especially one called Playground which offered wooden features, tabletops, and berms.
They organized their trails on the south face of the ridge which houses the Liberty SnowFlex Center. Once you've reached the bottom, the climb back up is relatively arduous, so I only made one loop before continuing east to Richmond.
Last year I rode my motorcycle to the Dirt Rag Dirt Fest since I was able to demo a bicycle at the event. I've also had the luck of friends transporting my mountain bike to different destinations while I rode the moto. All along, though, I've wanted to develop a way to carry my mountain bike on the motorcycle in order to be 100% self-sufficient in these moto/mountain bike trips.
After considering several variations of the standard "bike tray" I eventually settled on a different design - the "trunk rack" adapted to a motorcycle. It ended up being extremely simple, especially since I was able to mount bars to the existing frame of my SW Motech luggage system. The only real fabrication needed was bending the two tubes to tuck within the profile of the bicycle. Other than that, I welded nuts in the ends of the bars in case I wanted to bolt anything to them. Four holes and longer hardware allowed them to bolt in place.
While I was at it, I installed the Enduro Guardian 1" lift dog bones to give the rear of the bike a slightly better stance. I had the rear wheel off anyway, since I needed to balance the new tire. With it out of the way, the dog bone install was a breeze.
During the week, I tested the arrangement - but found out quickly the consequences of mounting the bike in the path of the exhaust. In no time, the exhaust fumes had roasted the hydraulic brake hose and charred the decals on my downtube.
Luckily I was able to find another hose and had it bled before the weekend's trip to VIR. This time, I welded together two exhaust adapters which LUCKILY fit snugly around the inner pipe. I heated the adapters with an oxy-acytalene torch and bent them at a 45 degree angle. I also mounted the bike higher on the rack and am glad to say that it was a success!


For the first year after I moved to Thailand, I had made a promise with myself: no American fast food! After I decided to live in Bangkok permanantly, I relaxed this rule a bit. I love Thai food so much, but every once in a while I'm just in the mood for some McDonald's, KFC, or Pizza Hut.
One cool thing about visiting other countries is that the fast food menus at popular restaurants are different from what you are used to at home. At McDonald's in Thailand, for example, you can order Thai-style rice dishes, such as this kraprao gai (basil chicken).
McDonald's version of this classic Thai dish uses their delicous fried chicken and fluffy jasmine rice. Basil chicken isn't usually fried, so even though it's a very Thai-inspired dish, it's still sort of a fast food fusion taste. The basil and chili sauce that is served on top of the chicken is spicy, but not nearly as hot as what you normally find at a local restaurant in Thailand. The flavors have been adapted to fit international tastes a bit more.
I've made it a mission to visit McDonald's in the different countries that I visit to learn how the menu is different from place to place. It's fun to try these fast food twists on traditional dishes, and it's kind of interesting to see what food and specific flavors that McDonald's thinks are important enough to the country to add into their menu.
