Crust Simply Italian continues their expansion with their newest location in the Verde at Cooley Station development in Gilbert. With the new opening comes the new speakeasy themed cocktail bar, The Blue Heron. It's not owner Mike Merendino's first dual concept as his Chandler location of Crust also houses The Ostrich cocktail bar downstairs.

The East Coast Italian restaurant serves up classic dishes and pizza Merendino used to make in his father's pizzeria on New York's Long Island. Authentic pasta dishes, Italian style Rustica shaped pizza's and craft cocktails are signature to Crust.

Cloud kitchen helps Chesapeake Bay Bistro to expand
Nowadays if you can figure out a successful recipe for running a restaurant the best way to maximize your potential is through expansion. That's exactly what's going on at Chesapeake Bay Bistro a year and half after opening in Ahwatukee. Unlike their brick and mortar location the owners opted to open their new location in a cloud kitchen inside the Tempe Food Court earlier this month. They're not stopping there as third location will also be in a cloud kitchen in their former hometown of San Diego in January 2023.
"For restaurant owners, the past year has been challenging with staffing, higher prices for food supplies and rising costs for rent and utilities," says James Brown, who co-owns the Ahwatukee-based bistro with his wife, Yolanda. "Adding locations through a food-court style expansion makes sense on many levels."
Expansion into a cloud kitchen
Working in a cloud kitchen also gives them the opportunity to open new concepts without all the expenses of a brick and mortar location. That's why the couple is planning to open a Creole/Cajun concept out of Tempe in 2023. Another reason for the expansion into cloud kitchens is CBB is seeing a lot of take-out from their Ahwatukee location.
"We believe that the food delivery model is the future and allows us to fulfill our customer base request," said Brown said. "Sixty percent of our sales are call in or pickup now." CBB works with several food delivery services to deliver the hot and fresh seafood dishes for delivery within 15 minutes.
To help alleviate some of the staffing issues of the past few years, the couple's three grown sons have joined them in restaurants. One son will be running the new San Diego location in the Aztec Food Hub near the San Diego State University campus. The other two sons help out when mom and dad can't be at the Ahwatukee location.
"Using cloud kitchen locations benefits small mom-and-pop restaurants like ours in several ways, allowing us to keep our labor and maintenance costs down," Brown said.
The Tempe Food Court location is at 1900 E. 5th St. 85281, not far from the ASU campus and Tempe Marketplace. The Ahwatukee location is at 5033 E. Elliot Rd. Phoenix 85044. For more information visit their website or to order for delivery or takeout check out the delivery services.

YC's Mongolian Grill opens a new Scottsdale location
Locally owned YC's Mongolian Grill returned to Scottsdale last week with the opening its new Loop 101 & Raintree location. Loyal customers couldn't wait to get back to building their own stir fry bowls as was evident when I visited with owner Geoff Stansic recently. The previous Scottsdale location was at The Pavilions but was shut down with the other 4 locations due to the pandemic. As the pandemic waned and the economy improved Stansic decided to re-open 3 of the locations in Gilbert, Tempe and Scottsdale with a 4th location slated to open sometime in 2023.
"After a tough few years of working through adversity during the pandemic and beyond, we are ready to open the doors to an all-new YC's experience and reconnect with our Scottsdale customers," Stanisic said. "We take pride in the food we serve and love being able to provide our customers with the best ingredients and a bowl full of authentic flavor."
Stansic took over in 1996, five years after the first location in Tempe was opened by the original owner YC. He knew a thing or two about the restaurant business as he was kitchen manager for Hyatt Hotels and Houston's before going into business for himself. It shows as he greets his returning customers by name, knows what bowls they will build and sauces they will have them tossed with. He even has a few signature sauces named for long time customers. He credits much of the success to his attentive staff, several who have been with since before he took over almost 30 years ago.
Beef & Broccoli bowl
What is YC's Mongolian Grill?
Folklore has it that in the days of Genghis Khan, his army would cook their food on their shields over a hot fire, similar to how it's done at YC's. In each location after you've piled high your meats, vegetables, noodles and sauces the cooks will grill them on 600 degree circular flat top grill in full view. During peak times 4 cooks will toss the ingredients on the grill rotating around the grill.
There is no one demographic at YC's Mongolian Grill as the food has something for everybody. Vegan and gluten free diets can be accommodated as there are plenty of vegetables, noodles and sauces for all. Want meat in your bowl, add white or dark meat chicken, pork and or beef with shrimp available during dinner. Don't be afraid to pile your ingredients high, it's encouraged. Their signature noodles are sourced from Chinatown in L.A. with vegetables coming from local distributors.
A separate bowl is used combine ingredients for your Asian inspired sauce. A menu board offers several signature sauces recommending how much and which water based sauces and rice wines to use. The staff is always nearby to help create your sauce before grilling making tastes and combinations endless.
Free Stir Fry Day
To celebrate the new location, customers coming in Wednesday, November 2nd will get free small bowl from 11 a.m. – 7p.m. The new location is at 14850 N. 87th St., Scottsdale, AZ. For more information visit their website.

Knowledge is built from personal experience and coloured by our needs and values. It follows that all knowledge is personal and incomplete. We all suffer from 'blind spots'. But when leaders have them, it matters. To guide people on a journey of continuous learning, understanding and adapting to events as they occur, leaders must overcome their own blind spots and those of their organization.
Any leader who implements the practices outlined in this book will immediately improve their ability to perform in today's competitive global environment. Karen Blakeley provides in-depth analysis of how leaders learn on the job - and what gets in the way. Most importantly she offers a systematic approach for accelerating leaders' learning capacity - and maximising their performance potential.
KAREN BLAKELEY is Assistant Director of the Centre for Leadership, Learning and Change at Cass Business School, City University and is also a director of Waverley Learning – a leadership development company. She recently completed her doctorate looking at how managers learned when their organisations went through change.
Karen originally trained in finance and worked in the City for five years. She subsequently qualified as an organisational psychologist and has spent over 15 years helping individuals and organisations adapt to change. Karen has appeared on TV, radio and in the press commenting on the psychology of high performance in demanding environments such dealing rooms in the City. She regularly presents at conferences and has had a number of articles published in the area of senior executive coaching. Karen is working with a number of top international companies developing new tools and techniques to promote 'learning agility' amongst their current and future leaders.

Sustainable company Humanscale makes the world's first task chair from ocean plastic waste
Nickie Louise Posted On April 4, 2018
According to the latest data from EcoWatch, plastic constitutes approximately 90 percent of all trash floating on the ocean's surface, with 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile. Billions of pounds of plastic can be found in swirling convergences in the oceans making up about 40 percent of the world's ocean surfaces. 80 percent of pollution enters the ocean from the land.
One company is doing its fair share to reduce the amount of ocean plastic waste. HumanScale is the premier designer of sustainable ergonomic seating and tools for a more comfortable workplace. Founded in 1983 by CEO Robert King with a focus on high-performance tools that support a healthy, more active way of working, Humanscale is now the global ergonomics leader with a reputation for designing intuitive products which improve the comfort and health of office workers.
Humanscale collaborated with Bureo to developed the world's first Smart Ocean Task Chair. The chair is made from nearly 2 lbs of recycled fishing nets. Smart Ocean chair is an inventive adaption of the legendary Diffrient Smart chair that incorporates almost 2 lbs. of recycled fishing net material (NetPlus). Sourced from Bureo, an emerging venture developing innovative solutions to prevent ocean plastic pollution, this is the first tangible product of its new partnership and marks the first product available to purchase from the consortium of companies under the NextWave initiative.
"Fishing nets comprise approximately 10% of the plastic pollution in the ocean today," says Humanscale Founder and CEO Robert King. "Our partnership with Bureo helps further our goal to achieve a net positive impact on our natural environment. The Smart Ocean task chair not only supports the health and comfort of our customers, but actually removes plastic from the ocean, supporting the overall health and well-being of a greater ecosystem."
The nets used in the production of the new task chair are from Bureo's Net Positiva recycling program, which facilitates the collection of discarded plastic fishing nets and provides incentives to participating coastal communities. The nets are then transformed into plastic pellets and used to manufacture quality products such as skateboards, sunglasses, and now — for the first time ever — an ergonomic task chair.
Founding members of the NextWave initiative, Humanscale and Bureo are leveraging supply chains as a means of keeping plastics out of the ocean. Smart Ocean is just the first solution to come to market. Humanscale plans to replicate material solutions across their product line, supporting the expansion of Bureo's recycling program and lowering dependency on new plastics.
The like-minded companies share a common mission to achieve a net positive impact and are recipients of Living Product Challenge certification. Humanscale was the first company in the world to receive full certification in September 2016. Embarking on a journey to disrupt material sourcing, the two companies will work together to promote environmentally friendly design solutions.
"Focused on scaling and replicating our programs to collect and recycle discarded fishing nets, we strongly believe in the force of collaboration to align initiatives and expand impacts," says Bureo's co-founder and CEO David Stover. "The result is measurable and outcomes tangible as we work to prevent waste in our waterways and oceans. By joining forces with Humanscale, we are able to work cooperatively to innovate economically viable supply chain solutions that are expanding the new economy for previously discarded materials."

Chinese Take-Over of South America?
China and the United States are going head to head in Latin America, but the United States still has the edge.
By Sebastian Castaneda, April 18, 2011 .
In the wake of Obama's recent tour of Latin America, media reports and commentators claimed that China has been economically outmuscling the United States in the region. The reality, however, is that Beijing's economic presence has not come at the expense of the United States. Although Washington still maintains an overwhelming edge, its influence is decreasing. This decline will be exacerbated by Obama's focus on boosting U.S. exports to the region rather than importing more of Latin America's manufactured goods.
True, China has become a key trading partner in Latin America during the last decade. Sino-Latin American trade has risen from $12 billion in 2000 to more than $140 billion today (though the region's trade deficit also rose from $950 million to $32 billion in 2009).
Nevertheless, China's relations with Latin America need qualifying. In 2008, 90 percent of the region's exports to China originated in four South American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru). The disparity of trade with China explains to some extent the different growth patterns within subregions in Latin America. In 2010, Central America's economy grew by 4.9 percent while South America's expanded by 6.6 percent.
The current trade dynamic between China and South America is becoming a relationship of economic dependence that benefits Beijing. China is the largest export market for Brazil and Chile, and comes in second with Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. Most exports consist of commodities such as iron ore, copper, copper ores and concentrates, and soya derivates. In turn, up to 92 percent of Latin America's manufactured exports compete directly or indirectly with China's products, which ultimately results in deindustrialization for Latin America. In 2010, Brazil lost approximately 70,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector and $10 billion in income.
Chinese Carrots
However, Latin America is in no position to reject Chinese "aid." Such aid boils down to financing for a wide range of projects that comes with strings attached, such as a guarantee of access to certain natural resources, or the condition that Chinese companies undertake the projects. In 2009, China lent Brazil $10 billion in exchange for future oil shipments. In 2010, China advanced $20 billion to Venezuela to pump oil from the Orinoco Belt block. Last year China lent $10 billion to Argentina to renovate its aging railway system. Smaller loans have gone to other countries.
In order not to completely undermine the Washington-designed and controlled Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the largest source of development financing for the region, China has become a donor member. In 2009, when it joined the bank at the height of the financial crisis, China committed $350 million. In late March 2011, the IDB and the Export-Import Bank of China signed a letter of intent to establish an infrastructure investment mechanism to finance public and private sector projects in Latin America. The catch, however, is the use of the yuan as one of the currencies to undertake these investments.
Raising the yuan's profile in international trade enhances China's leverage over South America. Among the BRIC nations Brazil and Russia supported China's call in 2009 to replace the dollar as a reserve currency with the International Monetary Fund's unit of account SDR (an international reserve asset created by the IMF in 1969 that has the potential to act as a super-sovereign reserve currency). The reality, however, is that the initiative would take years and is complicated by the inconvertibility of the yuan. In the meantime, China is promoting its currency in bilateral trade. In 2009, Argentina signed a 70 billion yuan ($10 billion) currency-swap agreement. Brazil tentatively agreed in 2009 to trade with China in renminbi and reals. And this year, Peru became the first Latin American country where businesspeople can open yuan-denominated bank accounts to settle trade with China.
Fear of China
Despite the strides that China has made in the region, countries remain apprehensive. The WikiLeaks diplomatic cables highlighted the level of suspicion. One Colombian trade representative based in Beijing noted that his country would not be "walked all over" by China "like Africa." A Mexican official stated that "we don't want to be China's next Africa." And the Brazilian consul general in Shanghai argued that "China's strategy is very clear: it is doing everything possible to control the supply of commodities."
China's negotiation tactics in the region corroborate such apprehension. In 2010, after Argentina imposed anti-dumping measures on Chinese footwear and textile products when the government detected unfair competition, Beijing halted imports of soya oil, Argentina's main export, in retaliation. Despite Argentine concessions, Beijing has not resumed imports. In another example, last year, Ecuador suspended negotiations with China's Eximbank for a $1.7 billion loan after Quito found unacceptable a demand to provide the Central Bank's assets as collateral. Ecuador's president stated that "negotiating with China is worse than the IMF." The loan was eventually signed, but details are unclear.
Beijing's actions to secure land for agriculture are also raising concerns in the region. China has 20 percent of the world's population but only 11 percent of its territory is suitable for agriculture. China's land acquisitions have been more prominent in Africa, but in recent years South America has received attention as well. In 2010, a Chinese firm's lease of 320,000 hectares of Argentine land created considerable opposition after the signed deal became public. The implications for local food sovereignty are at the forefront of worries. As a result in February 2011, Cristina Kirchner, Argentina's president, announced plans to restrict the acquisition of land by foreigners. In Brazil, lawmakers are also considering amending the law to make it harder for foreigners to acquire land.
South America's trade with the United States, meanwhile, is more balanced. The approximately $200 billion in annual bilateral trade between the United States and South America relies more on agricultural and manufactured products, rather than on the raw materials that China has extracted from the region. Moreover, the United States remains the single most important source of aid to the region. Throughout the last decade most countries have received economic aid for various health, educational, and environmental programs, but primarily for security initiatives. And even though the amount varies greatly among countries, this economic aid is fundamental for some government programs. Proposed cuts in the 2012 foreign aid budget could reduce such influence. The $1.98 billion budget is the lowest amount since 2007.
Soft-Power Competition
The dynamics of Washington's engagement with Latin America, in spite of historic grievances, renders the United States a more popular power than China. According to a 2010 Gallup poll, 50 percent of Latin Americans approve the job performance of the U.S. leadership. In contrast, 28 percent of the region's respondents approve of China's leadership. The leadership of both countries rates a 20 percent of disapproval. There are no significant differences in response between Central and South America.
More telling, however, are the results of a similar Gallup poll carried out in 2006. Five years ago, U.S. approval ratings stood at 30 percent while disapproval reached 45 percent. Regarding China, although 28 percent approved of its leadership, 22 disapproved. Comparing the 2006 with the 2010 results, it is clear that Washington has gained an advantage in soft power over Beijing, especially given China's repression of human rights activists.
China's economic activities in Latin America, especially South America, are not a zero-sum game. Although China's engagement results in more influence, Beijing's methods also decrease its effectiveness.
Nevertheless, the self-serving U.S. strategy in the region may be counterproductive. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton articulated Washington's vision: "Enhancing our competitiveness, accelerating innovation, achieving energy security, and expanding our exports — all of these require robust engagement with Latin America." Focusing on only increasing U.S. exports to the region while decreasing aid may push countries to fully embrace China's type of economic engagement. Washington would be wiser to encourage imports of manufactured goods from Latin America that compete directly with Chinese goods and create good jobs in the region.

What Is the Difference between Solicitation and Prostitution?
Interviewer: We're going to cover the solicitation and prostitution laws in Kansas. What is the difference between solicitation and prostitution?
Kansas Has Enacted New Legislation Concerning These Offenses
Paul: Actually, our Kansas legislature just redrafted the laws associated with prostitution, and those laws were enacted. They were approved. They went into effect July 1st of this year, 2013. Now, prosecutors and law enforcement have brand new laws to deal with.
The New Legislation Has Limited the Defenses for the Charges and Enhanced the Penalties
The laws are much broader in scope. They are much broader than they were before. The legislature has effectively neutralized some of the effective defenses we had based on the prior language of the statutes.
These statutes are drafted very broadly, and they don't really distinguish between solicitation and prostitution. The three laws we have now are selling sexual relations, promoting the sale of sexual relations and buying sexual relations. You can imagine from the way the legislature has worded these three new laws, how broad they are. Also, it's important to know that the penalties have been significantly enhanced.
Most Prostitution Arrests in Kansas Originate from Police Sting Operations
Interviewer: Especially with these new laws being enacted or put in place, explain the process from the beginning to the end following an arrest for prostitution.
In Kansas, the Name of the Charge Is Now Buying Sexual Relations
Paul: The vast, vast majority of the cases that I handle, where a gentleman is charged with "soliciting a prostitute" is what they used to call that, now, they call it buying sexual relations, the vast majority of these cases do involve law enforcement sting operations.
Rarely do you ever have a case where an individual is arrested after having made contact with someone who is in fact selling sexual services. You can imagine that those types of scenarios are rarely detected by law enforcement. These arrests are virtually always made during the course of a law enforcement sting operation.
The Police Frequently Utilize Internet Sites Such as Craigslist or Backpage in Their Sting Operations
One of the police departments in town will work the Sheriff's Department. They will post a somewhat suggestive advertisement for companionship or massage services on Craigslist or on Backpage, or one of these online advertisement pages, and they will arrange to meet people – frequently at a hotel.
The Meeting between an Undercover Officer and a Potential Customer are Video and Audio Recorded to Use as Evidence
Sometimes, it's a residence that law enforcement will set up and use for the sting. They'll wait for the person to arrive. Of course, all of the dialogue is going to be recorded, often with audio and video.
Once the person arrives, the undercover female officer will suggest sexual services outside the scope of lawful companionship or massage. As soon as the suspect agrees to these additional activities or services, police officers will enter. They'll formally arrest them and handcuff them. Now, they'vebenn arrested and charged with buying or attempting to buy sexual relations.
Call today for an initial consultation to discuss your case: (913) 322-3265. I represent clients accused of prostitution throughout the Kansas City Metro area including the municipalities of Johnson County, Kansas: De Soto, Gardner, Leawood, Lenexa, Merriam, Mission, Olathe, Overland Park, Prairie Village and Shawnee.

Customer Creation™ – Trust is your only differentiator.
The old branding playbook is broken.
In fact, 10 years from today, the new marketing playbook you are currently using will also be broken. Because the marketing playbook is based on the medium. The tools. The tactics. Those change. Companies are constantly looking backward at what has worked in the past because all we have is past experiences.
What we're going to talk about today is building a brand based on human nature. So eventually, even if the tactics and tools change, you can be ahead of the game because you have a unique understanding of people. You will know your customer, something most of your competitors will not have. And you'll know your employees, creating a culture they will never leave, giving you a competitive edge as well.
We call this Customer Creation™.
Traditional sales and marketing techniques rely on manipulation. However, in today's fully transparent world, manipulation results in short-term transactions, not loyal customers. Our Customer Creation processes create new customers for your business by showing you how to earn your customer's trust before they ever engage with your company.
We work with game-changing brands, inspired companies, and global influencers around the world. Our process is designed to deliver results based on what your customers need. Each phase moves your brand somewhere new and exciting because we continuously infuse direction from what we've learned from your customers, starting with how they currently view your brand to what they need from your brand, while developing processes along the way to encourage them to change their behaviors.


Motorcycle has become a hallmark of freedom for several generations. Inspired by classic movies as The Wild One, Motorcycel Gang, Easy Rider, Chopper Town etc.
But these machines have also been a practical transportation vehicles and great and fun racing machine.


The results are fairly interesting – the number one culprit is org.xbill.DNS.*, which accounts for over half of the growth. Apparently Tomcat 3.3 (we're upgrading to 5.5 soon) has DNS lookups and caching – that cache seems to be unlimited in size, with no expiration, and cannot be turned off [in 3.3]. So in an application that receives callbacks from high-traffic corporate web sites, with a broad range if inbound IP addresses, this becomes a large memory leak.
This is why JVMTI is such a leap over JVMPI – my first experience with a Java profiler was JProbe, and my main impression of it was how tediously slow it was. With JVMTI agents, our app runs pretty much at full speed, and can be profiled on demand. Finding this leak in a development or QA environment with a JVMPI profiler would be nearly impossible, because you just don't tend to test with thousands of distinct IP addresses in QA.
The other interesting leak is a JVM Bug that will be fixed in Java 6. It seems that ObjectInputStream uses a SoftCache that results in retained references to classes that have been serialized. This explains the wealth of new HashMap$Entry and byte objects that are sitting in memory.
In a way, the results are encouraging – over the past 48 hours, running at high volume, the memory used by classes we've written has actually dropped by 150 kb. So the up side is that the memory growth isn't our fault. The down side is that it's much harder for us to resolve the issues since they're not in our code.


Happy Friday! Who else is excited for a three day weekend?! I know I am. I had to share this adorable ruffle sleeve sweater from Juliana's Boutique. I love the sleeves on this sweater, and they also have so many other cute sweaters out right now! If you are in the North Georgia area, they have a store in Blue Ridge and in Ellijay so you should definitely check them out.
In other news, I started my first week of BBG on Tuesday and it is kicking my behind! I'll be sharing some cute workout gear on the blog next week so I have something to keep me motivated, lol. Have a great weekend!


The development vision created by the MHNHS community planning process for the Ledge Site included the transformation of upper portion of the Ledge Site into a new 5.5 acre passive park, originally named Puddingstone Park after the stone quarried from the site. On November 18, 2006 family, friends and colleagues joined together to name Puddingstone Park the Kevin W. Fitzgerald Park. The Park is dedicated to Kevin's passionate leadership as Mission Hill's State Representative from 1974 to 2002 and to honor his unwavering commitment to the residents and community of Mission Hill.
A Park Master Plan has been created to help guide future improvements. Contributions are welcome from institutions, corporations and individuals. Items available include memorial bricks at the St. Alphonsus entranceway, park benches along a path, trees, and puddingstone rock gardens with shrubs, grasses and flowers. All donations are acknowledged with a plaque on the individual item or on the Donor's Plaque placed in the Park.
Funds raised from the Annual Mission Hill 5K Road Race, held on the third Saturday in September, are also used to support improvements in the Park.
The Kevin W. Fitzgerald Park, envisioned by the residents of Mission Hill, offers an unique experience. As you approach the Park from St.Alphonsus Street you're greeted with a landscaped lawn area that includes a bed of annuals, rhododendron, and Spring flowering white fringe trees. You enter the Park under a grand steel archway supported by puddingstone piers constructed from stone from this site. Walking the paths you see boulders of puddingstone surrounded by wild flowers. A gentle path takes you to the top of the park with a lawn area and benches offering you the opportunity to enjoy the dramatic views of Boston's skyline. Continuing your walk down a winding path you experience the stone walls of the original 1843 stone quarry with fields of poppies on sloping meadows. Your final destination is the retail shops at One Brigham Circle and the grand stair down to Mission Hill's new neighborhood center connecting you to Brigham Circle and the City of Boston.

You've been playing in the dirt for many years now and need some more inspiration. Maybe you want to maximize your productivity. Maybe you're stuck in a rut and need some outside perspective. Our expert section will be growing.
We hope you grow with us!
A shrewd gardener always plans to grow more vegetables than can be eaten fresh. The surplus of course can be preserved in a variety of ways for consumption during the winter months.
Strawberries are the first locally-produced fruit of the year to ripen. Harvest frequently begins as early as the first week in June and extends for 4 to 5 weeks into early July, depending upon variety selected, your location, and the system selected for winter protection.
Sweet Corn is a member of the grass family, which includes other cereal crops such as wheat, oats, barley, sorghum and rice. Corn require plenty of space to grow, and therefore, is recommended for large gardens.
The secret to growing wildflowers is to choose plants whose natural environment can be duplicated in your yard. Sunlight, soil moisture and composition will determine the natural plant environment. The deciduous woodland environment includes oak, beech, maple and hickory trees.
In bloom from early spring through fall, garden perennials will brighten your landscape year after year. Combine colors that please you. Make the flower garden a focal point.
An alert citizen discovered the Asian Longhorned (ALB) in Worcester, MA in early August 2008. It is estimated that the population has been in existence there for as long as 15 years.


Biotic Control of Surface pH and Evidence of Light-Induced H+ Pumping and Ca2+-H+ Exchange in a Tropical Crustose Coralline Alga.
Presently, an incomplete mechanistic understanding of tropical reef macroalgae photosynthesis and calcification restricts predictions of how these important autotrophs will respond to global change. Therefore, we investigated the mechanistic link between inorganic carbon uptake pathways, photosynthesis and calcification in a tropical crustose coralline alga (CCA) using microsensors. We measured pH, oxygen (O2), and calcium (Ca^2+) dynamics and fluxes at the thallus surface under ambient (8.1) and low (7.8) seawater pH (pHSW) and across a range of irradiances. Acetazolamide (AZ) was used to inhibit extracellular carbonic anhydrase (CAext), which mediates hydrolysis of HCO3-, and 4,40 diisothiocyanatostilbene- 2,2'-disulphonate (DIDS) that blocks direct HCO3- uptake by anion exchange transport. Both inhibited photosynthesis, suggesting both diffusive uptake of CO2 via HCO3- hydrolysis to CO2 and direct HCO3- ion transport are important in this CCA. Surface pH was raised approximately 0.3 units at saturating irradiance, but less when CAext was inhibited. Surface pH was lower at pHSW 7.8 than pHSW 8.1 in the dark, but not in the light. The Ca^2+ fluxes were large, complex and temporally variable, but revealed net Ca2+ uptake under all conditions. The temporal variability in Ca^2+ dynamics was potentially related to localized dissolution during epithallial cell sloughing, a strategy of CCA to remove epiphytes. Simultaneous Ca^2+ and pH dynamics suggest the presence of Ca^2+/H^+ exchange. Rapid light-induced H^+ surface dynamics that continued after inhibition of photosynthesis revealed the presence of a light-mediated, but photosynthesis-independent, proton pump. Thus, the study indicates metabolic control of surface pH can occur in CCA through photosynthesis and light-inducible H^+ pumps. Our results suggest that complex light-induced ion pumps play an important role in biological processes related to inorganic carbon uptake and calcification in CCA.

From: Cawdor (NH846502)
To: Aitnoch (NH975409)
Via: Dulsie Bridge
Distance: 12.4 miles (20 km)
Meets: B9090, C1161, C1173, B9007, A939
Nairnshire
C1154 Cawdor - Aitnoch
The Old Dulsie Bridge
The C1154 takes a meandering route across rural Nairnshire, starting at Cawdor and running vaguely south then east to pick up the old military road to Dava. It starts on the B9090 at the east end of Cawdor village and heads south then south east to Urchany, where it meets the C1161. Turning back towards the south it runs to Clunas, and either here or at Balmore about a mile to the south, it picks up the line of the military road built in the 1750s by Major Caulfeild. Heading east now, there are some long straights characteristic of the military roads, and a couple of old bridges which are probably original.
The road turns south again near Dulsie Wood, and runs along above the River Findhorn, before turning to cross Dulsie Bridge. This impressive structure does indeed date back to the original construction of the road, as it spans a narrow pinch point over the river. The road then winds up the hill to a crossroads with the B9007 at Burnside. Whilst this is all the old military road line, the 'main' line forks right and crosses to Dunearn Lodge, from where its route can be traced up the hill to the B9007 beyond. There is also an abandoned bridge alongside the road here, where even the stream has found a new route, leaving the bridge high and dry!
The final part of the route crosses from the B9007 to the A939 at Aitnoch, about a mile west of Dava. At first the long straight signals that this is still the military road, but then a track forks right to climb over the hill, and this is the original route, the more modern road taking an easier line round the hill to reach the main road nearly a mile further north.
