'Audacious' theft of two-ton sculpture leaves art world reeling
Paul's comment: The police think this elaborite theft might be for the scrap value of this piece, is that because they don't see it's aestetic value being worth as much? For Moore (the artist) this was a change from curves to points, and for some that alone adds to it's value.
From an artist point of view this theft made me wonder: If an artist works for a long time on a piece of art and it turns into something that is not beautiful, don't they sometimes have to withold thier own judgement and think of the time invested and the fact that the piece has a `historic' ( read noval) value? Would he (Moore) have had the integrity and strength to destroy a piece that lacked inate beauty at it's completion? ( Do I?)
The theft gives this piece an added celebrity now, a sign about the theft might be placed on a neat stand beside the work after it's recovered. The reader might then ask themselves why would anyone want to steal this? Maybe for the scrap value? Or maybe the viewer might think: 'It must be valuable `art' if anyone would take all those pains to steal it.'
Big loss: Moore's bronze Reclining Figure is valued at £3 million.

ARTHUR MACMILLAN
NICKING a painting off the wall of a sleepy country gallery is one thing. Making off with an 11ft-long, two-ton bronze sculpture worth £3m is quite another.
In the biggest art heist in Britain for more than two years, thieves wearing hoodies and baseball caps have stolen one of the renowned British sculptor Henry Moore's most valuable works from an English country estate using a crane and open-back lorry.
In the completely unchallenged theft, the bronze, Reclining Figure, disappeared from a courtyard at the late artist's home in Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, on Thursday.
Police investigators believe the giant bronze may have been stolen for its scrap value. But art industry experts last night suggested the famous sculpture could have been stolen to order.
Dick Ellis, a former Scotland Yard detective and UK expert on art theft, said: "This sculpture has been taken because the grounds were open and it was easily available. The theft has been thought through and well planned but scrap would not be a good earner for the thieves. Henry Moore is a desirable artist and a highly saleable one. There is bound to be a bigger return for the thieves from an illegal buyer."
Gerald Laing, the Scottish-based sculptor and artist, said: "They must have taken it for a client. They are not hard to get at because Moore believed that his work should be openly exhibited. I suspect it will be in a box and heading abroad within days."
The theft from the open courtyard was captured on CCTV but police yesterday revealed only sketchy details, revealing that a red Mercedes flatbed lorry, fitted with a crane on the back, and an old-style Mini Cooper, had been used in the audacious operation.
The team apparently circumvented locked gates and an alarm system, while the sculpture was in the process of being moved to another location. One thief was described as wearing a hooded jacket and another a baseball cap.
Chief Inspector Richard Harbon said police classed the statue as a "national treasure" and a team of detectives was now working on a number of theories behind the theft. Work included liaison with the Met's Fine Arts Squad and Hertfordshire's own specialists.
He added: "It is a nationally-renowned sculpture and very, very difficult to get rid of. So, obviously, we are looking at all the possibilities, as I said, right from scrap metal right up to fine arts theft.
"This is not opportunist theft. These are people who knew what they were doing, knew what they were after. A very, very audacious theft."
A substantial reward has been offered by the Henry Moore Foundation for information leading to the statue's recovery.
Moore, who died aged 88 in 1986, crafted the sculpture in 1969 and 1970.
Gareth Spence, a spokesman for the Henry Moore Foundation, said it was the first such crime at the foundation, where there were gates, alarms, and a keyholder permanently present. "We don't imagine this type of thing happening. A combination of the gates and the location would seem to negate them [sculptures] being lifted out of the grounds and stolen. It is quite a daring thing to do, and it will cause a reassessment of our security process."
Spence said the statue represented a development into pointed shapes for the artist and was "an important piece", famous throughout the world.
"It is very representative of Moore. You automatically think of Moore's legacy. I think it would be very hard for anyone to sell. The recipient - where would they display it? It is meant to be displayed outside," he said.
Considered by many to be the most outstanding British sculptor of the century, Henry Moore was born the seventh of eight children, in the coalmining town of Castleford, Yorkshire in 1898. He began carving in wood and modelling clay at school and, after serving in the Great War, became the first ever student of sculpture at Leeds School of Art in September 1919 before winning a scholarship to London.
In 1992 Moore's collection of 666 sculptures, 3,000 drawings and 8,000 prints was valued at £130m
The big bang theory of art
Opinion - Ben Macintyre
The Times December 02, 2005
If we think poets and painters have better sex lives, it may be that they are good at persuading us.
"SEX AND ART are the same thing," declared Pablo Picasso; this was one of the greatest chat-up lines ever, from a master of the art.
Finally, a scientific survey has proven what everyone has long suspected (which is what scientific surveys ought to do): creative artists, it appears, really do have more exotic love lives than the rest of the population. The new study, published this week in Proceedings of the Royal Society, suggests that artists, from poets to painters to puppeteers, have, on average, twice as many sexual partners as non-artists.
Promiscuous Picasso, Lord Byron the philanderer, Dylan Thomas the boozy womaniser: these were not simply bonking Bohemians, it seems, but artists doing what their genes told them to do. According to the researchers the greater the artistic endeavour, the larger the sexual appetites. (There are some obvious exceptions to this rule: Julio Iglesias once boasted that he had had sex with 3,000 women, but has never yet sung a decent song.)
The authors of the study, also suggest a link between artistic sexuality and schizophrenia. The genes linked to schizophrenia appear to be particularly common among poets and artists: the illness may contribute to artistic individuality and a uniquely imagined view of the world, but it may also explain the attractiveness of artists to others, and thus why those traits have been passed on.
Indeed, artistic ability may have evolved as a form of mating display, a courtship technique to attract partners. In his 2001 book The Mating Mind, Geoffrey Miller argued that intellectual and artistic ability were a form of human plumage, designed to entice sexual partners. "Come up and see my etchings" may be a central statement in human evolution.
Artists have more sex, of course, because that is what they are expected to do. As rule breakers, they are assumed to act on impulse, unconstrained by the mores that apply to the rest of society. When Lucian Freud (83) is discovered to be stepping out with yet another nubile lovely, even strait-laced Middle England bottles its outrage, accepting this side-effect of genius.
Artists (Freud excepted) also tend to die young, making it imperative that they gather ye rosebuds while they may. Poets, in fact, die younger than any other sort of artist, and younger than almost any other type of professional, including deep-sea divers.
When Andrew Marvell wrote To his Coy Mistress, he was speaking for all artists who sense Time's wingéd chariot hurrying near, and want to get laid, a lot, before it runs them over:
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
Artists are not only expected to have sex more, but also to write, paint, sing, compose and talk about it, endlessly, preferably in smoky bars. For Picasso, sex was a prevailing theme: a recent exhibition in Paris, Picasso Erotique, displayed no less than 330 paintings, drawings, engravings and sculptures portraying sexual congress, or what Gertrude Stein called Picasso's "dirty side". Picasso was genuinely interested in sex, all his life, but most modern artists feel obliged to include sex in their portfolios, as a matter of form. Tracey Emin's installation Everybody I've Ever Slept With: 1963-1995 is a very good joke, but also a wry reflection on the modern artist who is obliged either to celebrate sex or to fake it. The Bad Sex awards, presented annually to the most embarrassing description of the sexual act, is never short of contenders.
Artists may not actually have wilder sex lives than mere mortals; they may simply be better at misrepresenting what they do in bed. Jerry Seinfeld once remarked: "Everyone lies about sex. People lie during sex. If it weren't for lies, there'd be no sex."
And artists, being imaginative types, can lie better than anyone else. On the other hand, it is de rigueur for a great artist to claim that sex is boring ("The biggest nothing" — Andy Warhol), thus implying that they are at it like rabbits.
D.H Lawrence
"Nothing nauseates me more than promiscuous sex in and out of season," wrote D. H. Lawrence, simultaneously yawning and panting, to Lady Ottoline Morrell.
The portrait of the artist as a young stud-muffin may have some scientific basis, but it is also a long-running conceit, based largely on wishful thinking. As the artist Dinos Chapman pointed out this week: "The truth is that artists aren't that special. People just like to think so — especially artists." But the legend of the artistic and literary libido refuses to die, perhaps because for many people sex has become so desperately cheapened and unromantic.
On the day the sex lives of the artists was unveiled, another, much grimmer report appeared under the less than enticing title Who Pays for Sex? Based on a survey by the Medical Research Council, this showed that the number of men paying for sex has doubled over the last decade, with nearly one in ten of all males admitting that he had done so during the previous five years. The rise of sex tourism, access to sex via the internet, migrant sex workers and rising divorce rates have all contributed to a massive growth in commercial sex. London alone now has an estimated 4,000 massage parlours and escort services. Pornography remains the single most heavily researched subject on the web.
The general devaluation of sex surely explains why, more than ever, we need to associate sex with art, glamour and the carefree misbehaviour of a Picasso or, for that matter, a Kate Moss.
Three weeks after Byron died in 1824, The Times declared him "the most remarkable Englishman of his generation"; this, it should be remembered, was an Englishman who had rogered practically anything with a pulse, including boys, various grandes dames and his own half-sister. He was mad, bad and dangerous to know; and, as an artist, he was fêted for it.
The image of the artist as Don Juan, glamorous and faintly unhinged, with a tangled and athletic love life, owes more to myth than science, but it is one of the oldest and most cherished of our cultural stories. This may be no more than escapism; but so is art.

'Lewd rubbing' shuts Paris statue
Is this strange or what?
Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris has fenced off a famous tomb to prevent lewd acts being performed on a statue.
The effigy of 19th Century journalist known as Victor Noir has long been popular with women visitors.
This is partly due to his reputation as a romantic figure, and partly because of the effigy's design.
Officials concerned about damage to the icon's groin area have erected a fence around the grave, and a sign prohibiting indecent rubbing.
Noir - whose real name was Yvan Salman - was killed by Pierre Bonaparte, a great-nephew of the Emperor Napoleon, after bearing him a challenge to a duel.
According to the story, he was due to get married the day after he was killed.
The statue shows Noir in a frock coat and trousers lying flat on his back, with a distinct enlargement in the groin.
The effigy has been held as an aid to love or fertility.
It is said that a woman who kisses the lips of the prostrate statue and slips a flower into the upturned top hat will find a husband by the end of the year.
The new sign warns: "Any damage caused by graffiti or indecent rubbing will be prosecuted."

Formula 1 | April 7, 2017
Ford: F1 not relevant to our plans
Ford will not be returning to Formula 1 any time soon with Performance director Dave Pericak stating that it is "definitely not relevant to what we're trying to do."
With Formula 1 under new ownership, there are some, such as new sporting boss Ross Brawn, who are hoping that the sport can attract more big-name manufacturers.
However, Ford won't be one of those.
"F1 is definitely not relevant to what we're trying to do," Pericak told Motorsport.com. "It's just too far out there.
"It's exciting and it's cool but it's definitely not something we can apply directly, or very useably anyway, to what we're doing on a day-to-day basis at Ford.
"I just don't see us going back to F1."
Ford last competed in Formula 1 under its Jaguar brand but walked away after the 2004 season, selling the outfit to what is now Red Bull Racing.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts is in the transfer portal, which means schools have the right to contact him, and given that he's a graduate, he'd be allowed to play immediately with a new program. It's not a guarantee that Hurts leaves the Crimson Tide, but with Tua Tagovailoa on deck for another year, it would probably be in his best interest to take his talents elsewhere.
So, here are five schools that seem like a logical transfer for Hurts services.
Maryland Terrapins - The Maryland Terrapins have had the worst luck with quarterbacks, as they always seem to get injured and they end up playing three or four each season. Seriously, in the last four years, Maryland has had 12 players who have 20-plus pass attempts. This would be an easy transition for Hurts, as former Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley is now the head coach for the Terps. Hurts knows the system, and Locksley gets a reliable quarterback to ease into his first year. Everybody is happy.
TCU Horned Frogs - Hurts was interested in TCU early in his recruitment, as he attended camp back in June of 2014, and this would be a return home with him being from Channelview, Texas. TCU has tons of offensive weapons in Sewo Olonilua, Jalen Reagor and Darrius Anderson, so he'd be in good hands. The Horned Frogs are also no stranger to transfer quarterbacks when you look at Kenny Hill. A return home, a plug and play offense and a top-25 program, this move for Hurts makes too much sense.
Arkansas Razorbacks - The Arkansas Razorbacks have gone two years without consistent quarterback play and are in danger of entering another season with no definitive answer. Chad Morris is somebody who was recruiting Hurts early in the process, and he is a coach who is known for his offensive mind, particularly when it comes to quarterback play. Morris could get the most out of Hurts and possibly improve his draft stock tremendously. This move would also give Hurts the ability to compete in the toughest division in football, which includes a shot at his former school. Interesting.
Miami Hurricanes - Basically the same reason I included the Miami Hurricanes on my Brandon Wimbush transfer article… Miami needs a quarterback in order to be taken seriously as a national title contender. The Hurricanes have the defense, playmakers on offense, a passionate head coach in Manny Diaz, just give them somebody who can throw an accurate pass once in awhile. There's also rumors that Miami will be hiring Major Applewhite as offensive coordinator, and he was with the Houston Cougars when they were recruiting Hurts. This move could possibly bring the U back. Maybe?
Florida Gators - Feleipe Franks has shown flashes as a starting quarterback, but nothing consistent and Florida fans aren't the most patient in the world. Hurts is an immediate upgrade for the Gators offense and easily the best quarterback the school has had since Tim Tebow. Florida quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson also recruited Hurts out of high school when he was with Mississippi State (while Dan Mullen was head coach), so there's a relationship there. If the Gators can snag Hurts, they become legit dark horse national title contenders.

Saturday at Misano dawned with some very welcome sunshine after yesterday's day of wet practice and ended with a surprise in MotoGP qualifying with Marc Marquez setting the fourth fastest time and qualifying off the front row for the first time in 2014.
For his home race Valentino Rossi brought out his traditional one-off helmet design with this year's edition seeing the handprints of his mechanics and close friends.
Jorge Lorenzo claimed his first pole position since Motegi last year after a superb qualifying session saw the Spaniard outpace Andrea Iannone and Rossi.
With the sun shining and warmer temperatures Saturday at Misano was much more like the expected weather of Italy at the end of summer!

Stephen Schecter, with great talent and very impressive integrative powers, has woven out of these myriad relationships a long and rich poem, imbued with a classical spirit but a modern sensibility. The patient and profound reader will find here all kinds of treasures – a refined lyricism, colorful epic descriptions, and stormy drama." – A. B. Yehoshua

Addie Weyrich's 'Fox & Friends' leggings mission turns 100
The Philly native continues railing against men telling women how to dress
By Brian Hickey
Social Media Shaming
Screengrab via YouTube/Courtesy of Addie Weyrich
As of Feb. 4, Addie Weyrich has posted 100 videos on YouTube in her effort to go on the Fox and Friends morning show to discuss the morality of wearing leggings.
When PhillyVoice first introduced you to Addie Weyrich in November, she'd just posted her 15th YouTube video in a Quixotic quest to appear on the "Fox & Friends" morning show, where she hoped to discuss the morality of wearing leggings.
When we talked to the 19-year-old on Thursday afternoon – nearly three months later – she was preparing to record the 100th and 101st videos through which she vowed to "up the ante" in her mission that has, thus far, bore no fruit.
The Masterman grad's campaign comes not from a place of admiration, but anger. You see, there was an all-male "Fox & Friends" panel months ago who passed judgment on the fashion of women paraded before them in a discussion about "what they'd let their daughters wear."

While her commitment to the cause hasn't landed her an appearance invitation – in the videos, she portrays a naïve young lady character seeking the show's acceptance and approval – she's still plugging away in a subversive effort to shame the morning show for having the gall to think "they have control and authority to decide what I can and can't wear."
"Every time I make a video, I remember why I started this in the first place and get angry all over again," she said.
In her 99th video, she presents an all-black outfit for "Fox & Friends" approval. Then, she notes that "tomorrow is the day I start asking, doing more, I might be taking some more risks. So, see you tomorrow, 'Fox & Friends!'"
And what were those risks?
On Thursday, Weyrich – daughter of local writers Ronnie Polaneczky and Noel Weyrich – set out to find "older white men" who look like the leggings panel in New York City's Washington Square Park while wearing "leggings and a sweater, and it's obvious there's no bra" to get their feedback. (Editor's note: We'll update this post when that video goes live.)
Along the way, she said she's learned that most viewers like what she's doing and many can't believe she's still doing it.
Any negative feedback – primarily seen in the comments after a story on another Philadelphia dot-com that her mother sent an all-caps email warning to not read – comes from men who note "they'd rather see [me] doing videos topless while jumping on a trampoline," Weyrich said.
"With sexism, racism or really any kind of 'otherization' or 'othering,' people are apprehensive of over-reacting," she said. "Am I? Are these videos too much? Am I making mountains out of mole hills? No. F--- that. That's the problem. I shouldn't be apologizing. I still can't believe they think they had the right to tell me what to wear."
Weyrich sees the 100th video as an important milestone. It could help her attract the attention of other YouTube posters with considerably larger audiences; websites like Buzzfeed, Mashable and Jezebel; and TV shows that could force "Fox & Friends'" hand.
If they back her campaign up – its preferred hashtags are #HelpAddieDress, #DaddiesDressAddie, #IsThisOkay, #FoxNewsHelpAddie and #AreLeggingsPants – perhaps "Fox & Friends" will bring her in for a chat.
And no, she isn't the least bit surprised that they haven't yet responded, as the show didn't to a pair of emails from PhillyVoice as of 3 p.m. Thursday, either.
"No, no, no, no, no," she responded when asked if she thought they'd give her a call. "The only way I think they will is if I went on 'Ellen' or a show like that and we said, 'Hey 'Fox & Friends,' we want an answer.' That's realistic goal-setting. Making 100 videos gives me a lot of credibility to try [to] make that happen."
All of which is to say, don't expect Addie Weyrich to stop making her videos anytime soon, because she isn't about to let herself quit.

Pearl value is determined based on whether it's a natural pearl vs cultured pearl. Natural pearls are very dangerous for oyster divers to find and bring to the surface of the ocean. Cultured pearls are created using a pearl farming process that makes these gems much less rare than their natural counterparts.
On average, real pearls are valued between $300 and $1,500. The value of pearls depends on a number of factors including their color, size, luster, shape and variety. Real pearls, also called natural pearls, have not been altered or synthetically made. The three main types of pearls found on the market are Akoya, freshwater and south sea pearls.
Although these are a variety of cultured saltwater pearls, the amount of time that the pearls are cultured dramatically increases the depth of the nacre, and the likelihood of producing a baroque pearl. Most Tahitian pearl farm harvests, for example, produce more than 40 percent baroque and semi-baroque pearls.
For example, a pearl which might otherwise be considered an oval, button or drop pearl but which is not symmetrical in nature, would be considered semi-baroque. Semi-baroque pearls fall into the baroque category. The shape of the pearl is one of several factors which goes into determining its quality and, therefore, its value.

Meanwhile, Roddy's fine art prints, which are for sale directly via this website, have been featured in three solo exhibitions.
In 2008 Roddy worked with the Seattle-based non-profit Stewardship Partners on a year-long photo project documenting the group's conservation initiatives on private agricultural land throughout the Snoqualmie Valley, the region's breadbasket. An exhibit of the work ensued in September 2009 at the Novelty Hill-Januik Winery in Woodinville, Washington.
Prior to that, Roddy's exhibit on the recovering landscapes around Mt. St. Helens ran for two years at the Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center at the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The exhibit featured photos he took of the recently re-awakened volcano in southwest Washington. Several of these shots and others appeared in the 2005 update of KC Publications' "In Pictures" book, Mount St. Helens: The Continuing Story.
Also, the August 2004 exhibit "A Day in the Life of Butter Island," which featured images taken over a 24 hour period spent on one of Penobscot Bay's most beautiful wild islands, sold out in one day. Additionally, his work is on display in a variety of corporate and retail locations in the U.S. His fine art prints of Maine are on display and for sale at the Tarratine Gallery, 5 Main St., Castine, Maine.
When he is not out in the field taking pictures, Roddy writes about environmental issues for E/The Environmental Magazine, where he serves as Contributing Editor. His regular duties include researching and answering reader questions on a wide range of environmental topics for the internationally syndicated "Earth Talk" column and contributing posts on green money and new products to E's blog. Additionally, he contributes timely original news and feature reporting to the magazine on a regular basis. He has written major features for E on the fate of America's national wildlife refuge system and on efforts to stave off a cataclysmic failure of marine ecosystems around the world. A collection of his "Earth Talk" answers was published in book form by Plume in 2009.
Roddy is also a Contributing Editor at Seattle Magazine, where he writes the bi-monthly Outdoors column on getting off the couch and out into nature in and around the city of Seattle. He also writes travel and environmental features for the magazine on a frequent basis. His March 2007 "Green Guide" garnered First Place for a Personal Service News/Feature story from the Society of Professional Journalists' Western Washington chapter (and Roddy has the plaque to prove it). His first piece ever for Seattle Magazine, a September 2004 travel article on the Palouse region of eastern Washington, was awarded an Honorable Mention for Lifestyle/Leisure Reporting from SPJ's Western Washington Chapter as well. Besides his on-going editorial work for E/The Environmental Magazine and Seattle Magazine, Roddy's writing has appeared in Northwest Travel, American Photo, PhotoMedia, Wildflower, Northwest Home+Garden, Seattle Business Monthly and other publications.


Paul's persuasion was founded in Jesus Christ, and that helped Paul to be even more determined, because it helped to bring him to victory.
Paul was persuaded to the point of death because he saw that he was unworthy of such a noble calling to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ. He saw a risen Jesus on Damascus Road, He heard the command to join Him, he believed his calling, despite what others thought about him.
Have you ever done something so wrong that if it ever got out in the open, you felt you would be in big trouble and never forgiven? Paul did. He was on a death binge against the Early Church, convinced that what he was doing was right because he had the direct support of the religious leaders. Paul was on his way through Damascus when he would run into a series of events that would forever change his life. He met Jesus.
What a radical change of persuasion Paul went through. from a murderer of the followers of Jesus to a persuader that Jesus was worth dying for.
Paul was persuaded that Jesus Christ would not leave him, and that he would not be allowed to leave Christ, and this stirred him up to deeds of daring.
Where there is real cause for fighting, there cannot be victory without striving! Paul was so persuaded that Jesus Christ would never leave him that he became a fighter, and he went in with all his might against the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Paul had been persuaded by his own experience of suffering unto Jesus Christ.
Paul suffered scorn, scandal, pain of body, depression of spirit.
"A night and a day" Paul said, "I have been in the deep".
Paul is persuaded that they are not able to separate us……and yet these are the strongest forces imaginable- Death, Life, Angels, Principalities, Powers. Paul summons all our foes in this life, and sets them in battle array against us. And when he has added up the total of all their worth, he says that he is persuaded that they are not able…. to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
This passage really hit home with me, listening to Paul go through all the enemies he was facing on a daily basis: Death, Life, Angels, Principalities, Powers. I am facing my daily enemy in the form of 8 chemotherapy pills a day, with a one day drip concentrate that makes me feel like some of things Paul was talking about.
Specifically the one about being shipwrecked. But one thing I do, is take passages of Scripture like this one and make it my badge of honor, that I can say by days end that my persuasion is to be founded in Jesus Christ, to be found in Him as I lay my head down at night to sleep. I want to be determined in this because if it helped to bring Paul to victory, I want the same.
What is your persuasion? What are you bound and determined to do with what Christ has given you? Can you say that whatever the enemies that come in battle array against you that none of it will separate you from the love of God, in Christ Jesus.
If you were given an untimely report, that would challenge your faith in such a way as Paul's, and say at day's end that the victory has already been had in Jesus Christ, and that……is enough for me; no matter what.
Next The Faithfulness of God…….

iPad PR Launch
Home » iPad PR Launch
MARBLEHEAD, Mass. – January 12, 2012 – Medicinal Genomics, a pioneer in the genomics of medicinal plants, today announced the availability of Jane-Ome, an application designed for Apple's iPad tablet, which offers a science-based dissection of medical marijuana.
Jane-Ome provides a gateway to the Cannabis genome project led by Medicinal Genomics, which in August 2011 sequenced the entire genome of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, assembling the largest known gene collection of this therapeutic plant.
"Medicinal Genomics is excited to roll out Jane-Ome to help make sense of the extensive datasets created by the Cannabis genome project," said Kevin McKernan, founder and head of scientific operations of Medicinal Genomics. "The company's hope is that Jane-Ome will help make that data more relevant to the public and serve as a conduit for future Cannabis genomes."
Jane-Ome provides users with continuously updated, exclusive genomic information on various Cannabis genomes. In addition, the app provides users with access to several scientific news feeds that explore the science of medicinal Cannabis, making Jane-Ome the nerve center to explore the plant's therapeutic potential.
In addition to its encyclopedic information about the bleeding-edge science of Cannabis, Jane-Ome users can compete in Cannabis related trivia to earn the right to guide future sequencing efforts. Users can also explore never before released blueprints for the equipment used to crack the human genome project, as well as access videos which explain the impact DNA sequencing and genomics have had on the world. Furthermore, Jane-Ome provides users with access to never before seen videos documenting the history of the human genome project, as well as commentary from members of that scientific consortium explaining how research has led them to aim their sights on unlocking the genome of Cannabis.
Medicinal Benefits of Cannabis
Ongoing scientific research suggests that the Cannabis plant harbors beneficial compounds as it pertains to cancer apoptosis, antiemesis for HIV and chemotherapy patients, reduction of muscle spasms for multiple sclerosis patients, as well as the treatment of glaucoma, inflammatory diseases, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, among other health conditions. Of the 85 identified Cannabinoids in the plant, only one is independently psychoactive. The other 84 appear to be non-psychoactive and are still powerful therapeutics. Many Cannabinoids have been bred to low expression levels over the years but are excellent small molecule therapeutic drug candidates for cancer and inflammatory diseases. The genome sequence can be utilized to design breeding strategies to resurrect these nearly extinct pathways. In addition, Cannabinoids have also been shown to have a very favorable therapeutic index making them a unique class of anti-cancer compounds because the lethal dose is much higher than the effective dose. Furthermore, Cannabinoids are less addictive analgesics than opiates, and target different pain pathways in the body.
Another benefit of Cannabis as a source for a therapeutic drug is that its toxicity is low and well-known. This is unique in drug discovery where every drug candidate must go through expensive and lengthy clinical trials to establish its safety. With Cannabis, side effects have previously been established and might be mitigated with genome directed breeding, whereas many drug candidates are not easily modified and end up failing in clinical trials because of adverse effects on a small percentage of the population.
The American Medical Association, as well as the American College of Physicians each have independently issued reports on the medicinal benefits of Cannabis to justify a reclassification of the plant so it can be more easily researched. By digitizing the genome of Cannabis, researchers from around the world can now study this plant without having to handle it. Assembling the complete Cannabis genome was a logical first step to enable more comprehensive scientific research to begin.
About Medicinal Genomics
Medicinal Genomics is the first known organization to sequence the complete genomes of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. Aside from being a useful tool to discover small molecule therapeutic drug candidates, there are many other commercial applications of these sequences, including the design of genomic assays that measure genes predictive of Cannabinoid levels in the plants at seedling stages. Use of this information will enhance breeding strategies to develop high Cannabidiol (CBD) or other medicinal traits into strains. These genomic assays can also be utilized to help regulate the medicinal Cannabis market through better oversight and labeling. The non-psychoactive plant known as hemp is also a productive plant for fiber production and may benefit from genome sequencing in its pursuit to improve breeding programs.
The company was founded by Kevin McKernan, a recognized thought leader and innovator in DNA sequencing. Kevin, along with his two brothers, founded Agencourt Bioscience, and helped create one of the most successful commercial DNA sequencing companies in the world prior to selling the company to Beckman Coulter in 2005. In 2005, Kevin also co-founded Agencourt Personal Genomics, a technology startup focused on developing SOLiD, a cutting edge next generation sequencing technology, which he and his team sold to Applied Biosystems in 2006. He most recently served as vice president of advanced research and head of research and development for the Ion Torrent division of Life Technologies.
Medicinal Genomics maintains its corporate headquarters in Marblehead, Mass. All scientific operations are conducted at the company's research facility in Amsterdam, Netherlands.


A new EAS hybrid experiment has been designed by constructing a YAC (Yangbajing Air shower Core detector array ) inside the existing Tibet-III air shower array. The first step of YAC, called "YAC-I" has been successfully carried out in 2009–2010 together with Tibet-III air-shower array. YAC-II has also been operated from 2011. Preliminary results of YAC-I and performance of YAC-II are presented in this paper. The primary proton and helium spectra at energy range from50 TeV to 1015 eV derived from YAC-I data based on QGSJET2 and SIBYLL2.1 are reported. The obtained P+He spectrum is smoothly connected with directobservation data below 100 TeV and also with our previously reported results at higher energies within statistical error s. Based on these results and the sharp kneeof all-particle energy spectrum observed by our experiment, the possible origin of the sharp knee is discussed. See the published papers.

Kherki Daula-Palam Vihar stretch of Dwarka e-way to open by Aug 22
The opening of this stretch of the expressway will bring relief to thousands of home buyers whose projects have been delayed because of the incomplete roadMarch 07, 2016, 17:37 IST
GURGAON: Huda has said a 13.5-km section of Dwarka Expressway, from Kherki Daula to Palam Vihar, will become operational by August 22, after it settled land acquisition hurdles near Sector 100. It will fill a crucial connectivity gap on the 18-km-long road. The project is still caught up in land acquisition hurdles in Chauma village and on the Delhi side.
A senior Huda official said the expressway will be connected with Pataudi and Basai roads and all nearby sectors by August. Work in these areas was stuck due to construction of buildings for two private firms and shifting of high-tension cables. The two companies have been allotted alternate plots. Work on shifting the high-tension cables will start soon.
The opening of this stretch of the expressway will bring relief to thousands of home buyers whose projects have been delayed because of the incomplete road. Huda officials said it is likely to improve connectivity to at least 25 sectors on either side of the road.
According to sources, roads in sectors 83-84, 82-85, 81-86, 99-102, 102-102A, 120-103, 103-106, 109-112, 110A-111 are ready. After this stretch is opened, all these roads will be connected with the expressway. Most of the residential projects in these sectors are either complete or near completion.
"Recently, additional chief secretary of the department of town and country planning (DTCP) Raghvendra Rao had visited the expressway and directed Huda to make a portion of the road, from Kherki Daula to Palam Vihar, operational by August," said the official.
The development authority has also been instructed to complete work on service lanes for sectors along the stretch. Rao directed Huda to provide basic infrastructure, like water supply, sewerage, storm water line and electricity to these sectors, so that people can move into their new homes.
The six-lane Dwarka Expressway, which was conceived over eight years ago, starts from Dwarka in Delhi and ends at Kherki Daula. It was expected to divert 40% of the traffic on NH-8 between Gurgaon and Delhi, but till date, work on only 14.33 km of the road has been completed. The state government has fixed a new deadline of June 2017 for its completion.
The delay has hit residential projects coming up along the expressway, as the area lacks basic amenities. Real estate developers had launched over 60 projects, with 50,000 residential units, along the road. "Many colonies are coming up in these sectors. Many builders have given possession to buyers. Many are expected to get possession in the next six months. In the absence of proper connectivity, residents were not moving into their new homes," said the official.

Saudi Arabia, Russia to Freeze Oil Output Near Record Levels

Russia, Saudi Arabia Freeze Oil Production: What's Next?
Fed Minutes Show Concern About Global Market Turmoil
Milan Patel, a former senior director at HBOS Plc, poses for a photograph on the banks of the River Thames in front of a backdrop of the financial district in London, U.K., on Monday, Feb. 8, 2016. Patel, along with his boss Richard Paddle, spent most of the past decade growing HBOS portfolio of bonds secured on student loans to mortgages to 45 billion pounds ($65 billion), double what was in the late 1990s. Photographer Simon Dawson/Bloomberg The Big Long: Making a Killing in Market Everyone Left for Dead
Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed to freeze oil output at near-record levels, the first coordinated move by the world's two largest producers to counter a slump that has pummeled economies, markets and companies.
While the deal is preliminary and doesn't include Iran, it's the first significant cooperation between OPEC and non-OPEC producers in 15 years and Saudi Arabia said it's open to further action. Oil pared gains after the accord was announced, signaling traders see no immediate end to the global supply glut.
The deal to fix production at January levels, which includes Qatar and Venezuela, is the "beginning of a process" that could require "other steps to stabilize and improve the market," Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi said in Doha Tuesday after the talks with Russian Energy Minster Alexander Novak. Qatar and Venezuela also agreed to participate, he said.
Saudi Arabia has resisted making any cuts in output to boost prices from a 12-year low, arguing that it would simply be losing market share unless its rivals also agreed to reduce supplies. Naimi's comments may continue to feed speculation that the world's biggest oil producers will take action to revive prices.
"The reason we agreed to a potential freeze of production is simply the beginning of a process" over the next few months, Naimi told reporters. "We don't want significant gyrations in prices. We don't want a reduction in supply. We want to meet demand. We want a stable oil price."

Prices Fall
More than a year since the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided not to cut production to boost prices, oil remains about 70 percent below its 2014 peak. Supply still exceeds demand and record global oil stockpiles continue to swell, potentially pushing prices below $20 a barrel before the rout is over, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said last week.
While Novak has said he could consider cuts if other countries joined in, Russia faces significant obstacles to doing so. The freeze is conditional on other nations agreeing to participate, Russia's Energy Ministry said in a statement.
The group of producers plans to monitor output and prices for four months, Venezuelan Oil Minister Eulogio Del Pino said in an e-mailed statement.
"This is an announcement of a production freeze among countries whose production didn't even grow recently," said Eugen Weinberg, head of commodities research at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. "If Iran and Iraq are not a part of the agreement, it's not worth much -- and even then there is still a question of compliance."
Markets will be disappointed by Saudi-Russia oil freeze, Bloomberg's @JavierBlas2 says https://t.co/RxMRLGQgFH https://t.co/L9t8rkaxpP
— Bloomberg Business (@business) February 16, 2016
Oil erased gains in London after rising before the meeting amid speculation the countries would discuss production cuts. Brent crude fell 3.6 percent to settle at $32.18 a barrel Tuesday in London, having earlier climbed as much as 6.5 percent.
Production Gains
Iran, OPEC's fifth-largest producer, ruled out any curbs on its oil production when the group met in December. It plans to boost output and exports by 1 million barrels a day this year following the lifting of international sanctions last month. This week the nation loaded its first Europe-bound crude cargo in four years.
"Iran will not forgo its share of the market," the Oil Ministry's news service Shana reported Tuesday, citing Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh.
Iraq continues to boost production as it recovers from years of conflict and under investment. The nation's output reached a record 4.35 million barrels a day in January and more increases could follow, according to the International Energy Agency. The country is prepared to cap production at current levels, or even cut, if other producers commit to the Doha accord, said an official who asked not to be identified because oil policy is private.
Iran Concession
There is a precedent for some countries being excused from full compliance with a freeze in order to secure their backing. In 1999, when OPEC came together with other producers including Mexico to fight an oil price slump, Saudi Arabia agreed to let Iran fix output at a higher level than in the past.
The freeze deal comes after months of competition for market share between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Riyadh has taken the rare step of selling crude into Moscow's backyard of Eastern Europe, while Russia overtook Saudi Arabia in oil exports into China. The two nations are also backing opposite sides in the Syrian civil war.
According the IEA, Saudi Arabia produced 10.2 million barrels a day in January, below the most recent peak of 10.5 million barrels a day set in June 2015. Russia produced nearly 10.9 million barrels a day in the same month, a post-Soviet record, according to official data. Venezuela pumped 2.4 million barrels a day and Qatar produced 680,000, according to the IEA.
Qatar will lead monitoring of the output freeze agreement, the nation's Energy Minister Mohammad bin Saleh al-Sada said at a press briefing. Low oil prices haven't been positive for the world, he said.
"A freeze would not create an immediate U-turn, but it creates a better foundation for the price recovery in the second half," Olivier Jakob, managing director of consultant Petromatrix GmBh, said in a note to clients.

300-plus pound student exercised in secret
CNN iReport
By Meagan Choi, Special to CNN
Jamil Macias lost nearly 130 pounds, thanks to exercise and changing what he ate.
Jamil Macias vacationed in Hawaii and grasped the reality of his size after seeing photos
Macias ran a half marathon in February and is training to run another in August
While he used to be a recluse, Macias says his self-esteem has grown and he's become a leader
(CNN) -- When Jamil Macias looked down at his new sports uniform, he felt embarrassed by the size on his tag -- he knew it was the largest one on his middle-school baseball team.
Still, Macias' friends called him a giant "teddy bear," and he had gotten used to being one of the bigger kids.
But by seventh grade, his lifestyle was changing dramatically because of his weight. After years of team sports, he started looking for excuses to skip practice and games. As his interest dwindled, he chose to drop out altogether -- first from baseball, then, soccer and finally basketball. From then on, the gain accelerated. As a junior in high school, he weighed more than 300 pounds.
While his peers were trying out the latest Abercrombie & Fitch fads, he was trying to find pants large enough to fit his 44-inch waist.
Have you lost a lot of weight? Tell us about it on iReport
"I felt a little bit isolated from society," he said. "After school, people would get ready for sports practices, and I would go home and do homework."
Yet it wasn't until Macias vacationed in Hawaii at age 17 that he really grasped the reality of his size.
While looking at the digital photos from the trip -- initially intending to show them to friends -- he was shocked by his appearance. "I never took very many pictures of myself," he said. "When I looked at them, I was too embarrassed to post them online. ... I (thought), 'Whoa, this is what I look like?' "
And soon after, during a routine physical, the doctor's scale showed 313 pounds.
That number, and the Hawaii photos, convinced him that he had to change.
But resolving to lose weight was nothing new -- on previous visits, his doctor had talked to him about going on a diet or getting a referral for a dietitian. Throughout high school, he'd sporadically headed to the gym, aware of his expanding size, except the habit never stuck.
But now he had motivation. Macias went home that night and began exercising in his garage to avoid being seen at a gym.
Unfortunately his third session on the elliptical ended badly; the strain of his weight broke the machine almost in half and landed him on the floor. His family wasn't there to witness it, but he felt humiliated when he thought about going inside to face them.
"I was really embarrassed because I had never thought in my mind that I would be big enough to break an exercise machine," he said.
So he began to work out by walking at night. After the disastrous session with the elliptical, he was careful to keep a cover between himself and any potential stares.
It was on one of his first evening jogs that Macias specifically remembers feeling hurt as teenagers in a truck drove by and called him, "Fatty."
"Stuff like that wasn't common, but it did happen," he said. "I used that as a motivator to keep going -- I wasn't going to let something like that stop me."
Macias pushed himself further each night, progressing from walking to running, in addition to eliminating fast food and replacing processed, sugary foods with fruits and vegetables. His family -- especially his mother -- was supportive, keeping track of the number of pounds lost right along with him.
"I did the research on my own," he said. "I never followed a specific diet or book. ... I explored other (food) options that I knew were better substitutes."
He starts out breakfast with protein-rich dairy, such as cottage cheese and yogurt. Lunch and dinner always include salad and vegetables in addition to an entrée that's high in protein.
"I didn't have a set amount of how much I wanted to lose -- I just wanted to keep going until I felt good about myself," he said.
After about three years, Macias had dropped nearly 130 pounds and weighed in at 185 in September 2010. "I felt really good," he said. "It took me awhile to really understand my body and know what I can do to it, change it, help it grow and become stronger."
Every day of the week at 5:30 a.m., Macias, now 22, wakes up to hit the gym, usually running for about half an hour on the treadmill and then lifting weights.
Since graduating from college in April, Macias has gained 10 pounds of weight from training to build up muscle. He ran a half marathon in February and is training to run another in August.
"We can all make time to exercise," he said. "You have to stay motivated and positive and pretty much eliminate the excuses."
Besides his physical appearance, Macias said, his lifestyle changes have affected how he interacts with people.
During high school, he would have described himself as reclusive -- shy and unengaged.
But thanks to a healthier lifestyle, Macias said he feels a higher self-esteem and -- if placed in a group -- would immediately identify himself as the leader, filled with confidence he once lacked.
"That was really the theme that kept me going -- I wanted to be more engaged in life, and I knew that (losing weight) would help me do it," he said.

By the end of July every year, millions of children get out of a new job letter from the campus campus. If you get good money at the beginning of the job, then there is no worry for the future. But money is needed in the future. In such a situation, if you save 1200 rupees per month before the start of the job, the fund of one lakh rupees can be easily prepared in two to five years. This savings can be done in post office, from bank to mutual funds.
There are three options to fund one lakh rupees. In these options, a fund of Rs 1 lakh can be prepared from 2 to 5 years. Where the investment in the post office will start from Rs. 1400 rupees, the investment in the bank will start from Rs. 1900 and a fund of Rs. 1 lakh will be ready. But if someone wants to have a fund of Rs 1 lakh in his investment less than that, then he has to invest in mutual funds. Here the fund will be set up with an investment of Rs. 1200 / month.
The post office only has RD for 5 years. So here we have to invest for at least 5 years. At present, the post office on the 5-year RD is paying an interest of 6.9 percent. If someone wants to set up a fund of Rs. 1 lakh here, then make plans in this manner.
