The family of NADPH oxidase (Nox) isoenzymes, i.e. in humans Nox 1-5 and Duox 1 and 2, generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previously, ROS produced by the prototypic phagocyte Nox isoenzyme (Nox2) were regarded as crude antimicrobial compounds. Today, it is widely accepted that Nox-derived ROS exert in different cell types diverse and subtle functions, e.g. signaling and regulation of gene expression. This project aims at revealing specific functions of Nox-derived ROS in antimicrobial immunity.
Identification of the members of the entire family of Nox isoenzymes, i. e. in humans Nox1-5 and Duox1 and 2, led to the notion that ROS generated by defined Nox isoenzymes exert many tissue-specific effects beyond direct anti-microbial activity, e.g. intracellular signaling or activation and inactivation of enzymes. Such subtle effects of Nox-derived ROS largely remain to be elucidated in antimicrobial immune responses.
This project aims at characterizing the regulatory and effector functions of ROS generated by defined isoenzymes of the Nox family during the murine model infections with the gram-positive bacterium Listeria (L.) monocytogenes, the gram-negative bacterium Shigella (S.) flexneri and the RNA virus Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Specifically, the Nox family members Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, Duox1, and Duox2 are in the focus of this project.
A superordinate regulatory mechanism controlling the activity of Nox isoenzymes depends on the activity of riboflavinkinase (RFK). RFK activity, by converting riboflavin (vitamin B2) to flavin-mononucleotide (FMN), is rate-limiting for providing flavin-adenin-dinucleotide (FAD) which is an essential cofactor of each Nox isoenzyme. In resting cells, usually less than half of the cellular pool of Nox isoenzymes is saturated with FAD. Therefore, interfering with RFK activity may provide a master switch for general inhibition of undesired Nox activities during pathophysiological reactions involving overshooting production of ROS.
In the current CMMC funding period, we revealed that riboflavin availability and riboflavinkinase activity impact on the defense against Listeria monocytogenes (Schramm et al.). Specifically, by using cell type-specific RFK knockout (KO) mice, we elucidated that in phagocytes RFK is required to control intracellular L. monocytogenes. The oxidative burst of RFK-deficient phagocytes in response to L. monocytogenes infection was significantly reduced. Mechanistically, TNF priming of Nox2 was defective in RFK-deficient phagocytes secondary to failure of saturation of Nox2 with FAD through RFK-dependent de novo generation of FMN/FAD. Similarly, withdrawal of riboflavin in wild-type macrophages for only 6 h shut down TNF-induced, RFK-mediated de novo FMN/FAD generation, which was accompanied by diminished ROS production and impaired anti-listerial activity.
These data show that TNF priming of Nox2 represents a riboflavin-dependent mechanism that is crucial for optimal ROS production in innate immune responses.
These results may have therapeutic implications for the treatment of select bacterial infections. Specifically, the intracellular life style of L. monocytogenes presents a therapeutic challenge, because none of the antibiotics of choice penetrate the host cells, distribute within the cells, and remain stable in the intracellular environment. Thus, riboflavin supplementation should also be considered next to antibiotics as a complementary therapeutic modality of listeriosis of elderly individuals to ensure optimal ROS production by neutrophils and macrophages, which represents an effective host defense mechanism protecting young and riboflavin-proficient individuals from listeriosis.
Insight into the involvement of ROS in antiviral immune responses is very limited. Due to its superordinate regulatory effects on the activity of Nox isoenzymes, we investigated the impact of RFK activity on the paradigmatic antiviral immune response during acute infection with the Lymphopcytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV).
Global deletion of RFK in mice during the first days of infection with LCMV massively impairs expansion and maturation of the cytolytic effector mechanisms of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. Consequently, the control and elimination LCMV is significantly impaired in vivo. Deletion of RFK in dendritic cells, which are necessary for induction of antiviral CD8+ T cells, did not impair the expansion or maturation of LCMV-specific CD8+ T cells. In contrast, deletion of RFK in T cells themselves abolished the LCMV-induced expansion and maturation of CD8+ T cells. In contrast, the virus-induced function of CD4+ T cells from the same mice appears to be much less impaired. This is of special interest, because the floxed RFK allels are deleted from both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells due to expression of Cre recombinase in the CD4/CD8 double positive common thymic precursors of both T cell subpopulations.
The strong effect of RFK deficiency on CD8+ effector cells suggests that inhibiting RFK activity, e.g. by RF analogs, may have potential as a future immunosuppressive approach.
The biomedical relevance of this project is suggestive, because both RFK as well as Nox isoenzymes are suitable targets for small molecule inhibitors (Krause, K.H., Lambeth, D., and Krönke, M. (2012) NOX enzymes as drug targets. Cell Mol Life Sci 69:2279-2282). Therefore, specific inhibitors and/or cell type-specific delivery of such compounds may become future therapeutic approaches in immune-mediated diseases.

Ranked at #47 in my top-50 prospects to watch this year, Donte Paige-Moss is the line partner to the highly rated Quinton Coples at UNC. He never really blew me away in 2010 and certainly benefits playing on a talented defense, but he'll get opportunities this year to boost his stock. Very much an outside linebacker or LEO prospect.
Ranked #50 in my prospects to watch this year, Brandon Lindsey had ten sacks for Pittsburgh but could suffer due to the departure of Jabal Sheard. Tape courtesy of Aaron Aloysius.
For the next seven days I'll be in Portugal with limited internet access. I've set up some posts for the next week although it's going to be mainly game tape. There's a possibility Kip may put some more thought provoking articles on the blog too, so keep checking back. Don't forget you can contact me via email rob@seahawksdraftblog.com if necessary, I will check those daily and it'll be the best way to get an immediate reply. Any comments that are pending admin approval please be patient, I'll get to them eventually.
In the meantime, our friends at NFL Mocks have put together this report on Seattle's 2011 draft class.
We're still many weeks away from any kind of positive conclusion to the current litigation situation in the NFL (and by positive, I mean any amount of football in 2011). Many people discuss the impact the lockout will have on the rookie class, but undoubtedly those hurt the most are the undrafted free agents. These guys need camp to fight for roster spots and prove their worth. Taking away precious practise time and possibly pre-season games could make them redundant and perhaps even a lost group.
There are several big names who went undrafted and it remains to be seen whether they'll ever get their opportunity. DeAndre McDaniel (S, Clemson) started the year being touted as a high draft pick after an eight-pick, two-sack 2009 season. He added four more interceptions in 2010 taking his total to 15 for his college career, yet he wasn't picked in April. Several people were surprised fellow safety Joe Lefeged (S, Rutgers) went undrafted – some graded him in the middle round region. Will Hill (S, Florida) and Deunta Williams (S, North Carolina) were other big name safeties expected to fill out a disappointing overall class at the position. None found a home.
I know the Seahawks have shown interest in several players, including Texas offensive lineman Michael Huey and Iowa linebacker Jeff Tarpinian. John Schneider has suggested the team will target an UDFA quarterback to compete for a roster spot or run the scout team, but there's no obvious player for me that jumps out. Adam Weber (QB, Minnesota) and Adam Froman (QB, Louisville) have been touted, while Mike Coughlin (QB, Boise State) received some attention from several NFL teams before the draft.
A lack of beef on the defensive line may make 6-1, 319lbs defensive tackle Ian Williams (DT, Notre Dame) a worthy candidate to compete for a roster spot. Cedric Thornton (DT, Southern Arkansas) is another player graded as a space eater with limited pass rush qualities.
Ricardo Lockette (WR, Fort Valley State) has hinted at interest from Seattle while several relatively unknown receivers visited with the Seahawks before the draft. Terrance Toliver (WR, LSU), Dane Sanzenbacher (WR, Ohio State) and Armon Binns (WR, Cincinnati) should get the opportunity to impress, if not necessarily in Seattle. Major character issues dogged South Carolina tight end Wesyle Saunders – will he get a shot at redemption? The talent is there.
But my top ranked UDFA, based on talent if not necessarily positional importance, is Iowa punter Ryan Donahue. He stuck out as college football's top punter the last two years and should have the chance to come in and dislodge a veteran.
Of course, those opportunities to make final cuts will be severely limited unless the lockout ends soon.
Yesterday it was revealed that the NCAA infractions appeals committee would maintain all penalties and findings against USC. It means that Southern Cal will not play in a bowl game this season and will not have the opportunity to be crowned the first PAC-12 champions.
Barkley already has two very successful years starting at Southern Cal, including a baptism of fire as a true-freshman starter. By the end of the 2011 season he'll have had three year of starting experience, usually the point when most successful quarterbacks turn pro. The decision not to lift sanctions on USC will present a difficult situation for Barkley at the end of the year if things continue to go well on the field. Does he return for a fourth year as a senior, with the possibility of winning the PAC-12 and possibly a BCS bowl game? Or does he leave for the NFL as a high draft pick?
As he admits in the interview, it's something for the distant future and not an immediate concern. However, the inability to play in a bowl game this year could impact the decisions of several star players at USC, including offensive lineman Matt Kalil. Both Barkley and Kalil were listed among my top fifty prospects to watch in 2011.
Thanks to Tim for the new designs. Don't forget you can see his other Seahawks creations on his website or by reading yesterday's article here.
Introducing the new logo, introducing new uni's?
Today I'd like to introduce the new Seahawks Draft Blog logo. I'm sure you'll all agree that my web designer David Leng at Starry Sky has done a fantastic job not only with the logo, but also with the new interchangeable banner. If you haven't noticed already, keep your eyes fixed on the top of the page and wait ten seconds. You'll notice the quirky new idea and this is something we can maybe play around with in the future, potentially having a top-10 mock draft included in the banner down the line.
While we're on the subject of design, you may also have noticed comments by Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin discussing the possibility of throwback uniforms in 2012 to coincide with the introduction of Nike as the new supplier, replacing Reebok. McLoughlin also touted the possibility of changes to the team's permanent uniforms which have been in use since 2002.
A bit like the draft, it's a subject that some people love to discuss while others try their hardest to avoid. I'll confess that I enjoy talk about uniform changes, but only because I'm only 'satisfied' with the current design. I'm sure others will disagree, but I think they look a bit dated and the constant mixing around of combinations (not to mention the hideous lime green number) is something that ultimately you'd prefer to avoid. I like the idea of a timeless look, one that can span generations. Green Bay, Dallas and Pittsburgh have managed to find rather simple designs that never age. I'd like to think Seattle can find something similar.
The Vancouver Canucks ice-hockey team had a similar identity crisis, switching between many different designs before settling on a classic look during a league-wide overhaul of uniforms. For me, they have one of the best designs in the NHL. Perhaps it's coincidence that their color scheme is one very similar to the Seahawks, but I don't see any reason why Seattle can't follow Vancouver's lead.
The design below has appeared on a number of web sites over the last couple of years and I don't know the artist to give the appropriate credit, but for me this would be a great way to try and find that iconic look.
McLoughlin mentioned in his interview that Pete Carroll had taken part in meetings the team had conducted with Nike about possible changes. Carroll had a significant role in a lot of the decisions USC made, possibly also in the team's image. USC switched from this classic jersey used for many years and went for this look during the 80's and 90's. During Carroll's era at Southern Cal, they went back to a more traditional design and also avoided the kind of gimmicks used by Nike for a lot of the other big schools. Could he add his voice to any claims for a similar change in Seattle?
Of course one of the more recent gimmicks by Nike is the introduction of 'Pro Combat' uni's for some select schools such as Florida, Alabama and West Virginia. Tim O'Brien took the template for those uniforms and translated it over to the NFL teams. You can see his home and road ideas for Seattle below, as well as a further design from an anonymous artist.
Whether you are for or against changes to the uniform it's a topic that always generates a discussion. In the current climate of litigation, it's one of the few topics left open. So what do you think?
Brown denies Palmer talk, but what did you expect?
Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown today reiterated his previous stance to NFL.com's Albert Breer that Carson Palmer will not be traded.
This goes against what we have been discussing on this blog and has been talked about elsewhere too. Some have used the Mike Brown 'never back down' angle as proof that such a deal won't happen. It's a legitimate point, but also one based purely on assumption.
The NFL lockout is still a long way from being resolved and there's very little light at the end of that particular tunnel. Until a new CBA is signed or at least the new league season opened under 2010 rules, no trades or free agent movement can take place. What benefit would Brown get from discussing a Carson Palmer trade today? He has used the 'no deal' approach from day one, stating in January that a trade wouldn't take place. While I appreciate that may eventually prove to be the case, it makes no sense to change tact and open up a can of worms while the league is still mired in litigation.
Does he really want the media circus that would come with revealing a huge piece of news today, particularly considering non-litigation news is at a major premium in the NFL right now?
We've previously reported that a 5th round pick and a conditional third would be the price range for such a trade. If Brown has any hope of perhaps improving that bounty, does adjusting his determined stance achieve anything but weakened leverage?
The Bengals have well and truly moved on and their now former starting quarterback will move to the Pacific North West as a Seahawk or as a retired NFL veteran, so the talk of Palmer returning that we see today means very little. The drafting of Andy Dalton afforded the Bengals to commit to a new direction. While many think Brown will be stubborn enough to see this one through, as I mentioned last week this may not be a 'battle lines drawn' situation like some think even if it comes across that way in the media.
Mike Brown has made this statement several times and it makes little sense to say anything else until the league is finally open for business. Some people will believe today's comments to be the absolute truth, but don't rule out the very distinct possibility that this was nothing more than a colorful 'no comment' or 'nothing to see here'.
I'm going to be away for most of Saturday but wanted to get this on the blog before I left. Here's tape of Landry Jones' performance against Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game from 2010. I discussed Jones in more detail during this interview with Field Gulls' Dan Kelly earlier in the week.

Sitting down to write this, I am conscious that my trip to Paris last weekend may be my last foreign travel for a while. Heck, it may be my last trip beyond the office for some time, depending on how things go…
Last Saturday the Marais was busy, everyone delighted to be out enjoying blue skies and sunshine that have been as rare there as they have been here. We began at Perrotin and a show of a new body of work by Daniel Arsham. The gallery was full of immaculate Parisians in carefully studied weekend outfits, the evidence of a little light boutique shopping dangling from their wrists.
The conceit of Arsham's work is a future archaeology, and here we are presented with the 'finds' of a lucky archaeologist a thousand years from now. Where in the past Arsham has made sculptures based on recently obsolescent technology – harnessing the inherent pathos of chunky looking laptops or the fetishized retro-polaroid camera – here he has had access to the 200-year-old French moulding atelier at the Grand Palais (RMN).
Reproduced in disquieting dove greys, pale blues or pinks are masterpieces of antiquity: Roman busts of Lucius Verus and Caracalla; the Venus of Arles; an imposing, over life size figure of Moses. All have been subject to a process of erosion that reveals the crystallisation that a thousand years has wrought on the ancient sculptors' works: the Venus de Milo with rose quartz; a panel depicting Nereids from a sarcophagus twinkles with blue calcite.
The semi-precious stones in combination with antique statuary inevitably call to mind Damien Hirst's 2017 Venice spectacular, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable. Unlike that however, Arsham's work exudes a sense of toxicity, the artificial colours and crystals are at once precious and mildly repellent, as if one had wandered into a cave of kryptonite.
Moving right along, we went next to David Zwirner gallery and Jordan Wolfson's Artists, Friends, Racists, recently transferred from Sadie Coles in London. The first room of the gallery contains a group of wall-mounted works on brass panels, with photographs from the artist's own childhood family albums. They are the most autobiographical works Wolfson has ever made and their vintage colours create a stark contrast to his more familiar, highly technological works.
In the large rear gallery, art students sat on the grey-carpeted floor to watch the work that gives the show its title. A wall of spinning fans with micro LEDs embedded in their blades creates the illusion of a holographic display. Animation, as well as still and moving film, flashes up in a relentless succession of images that dazzles and disturbs. At one point there is a hard-to-watch animated sequence in which two disembodied hands, gloved like an early Mickey Mouse, slap and abuse a puppy. You know your buttons are being pushed with this caricature of cruelty, but it is uncomfortable nonetheless.
While the fans whirr away with a drone that becomes increasingly menacing as it creeps into your consciousness, images of police cars, Dutch revelers in black face, Sesame Street characters and more flash up in multiples, with the judgement, or suggestion, or provocation: 'racists', 'friends', 'artists' dropping down in Flintstone letters. Wolfson's is a jaundiced, and astringently unsentimental view of the world – dare I venture the thought he offers a visual corollary to Michel Houllebecq's dystopian vision? Mordantly humorous – with a taste for violence and no fear of giving offence – but undeniably and incisively reflective of our time.
The third show was at Daniel Templon's rue Beaubourg space, and a presentation of new work by the third American in Paris: James Casebere. Renowned for his peerless staged photographs, this new body of work presents us with a drowned world. The hyper-real serenity of each scenario belies the climate emergency implied, as each building sits partially submerged in still waters. In these days when self-isolation is the term at the forefront of everyone's mind, these unpeopled scenes take on a chilling new resonance.
Where earlier work has recreated existing architectures, here Casebere has designed the structures himself. They stand alone on spindly pilotis, cool modernist villas against blue skies, or in small clusters with steep staircases rising out of the waters and a depthless starry sky behind. What at first appears affectlessly elegant, operates stealthily on the viewer so that collectively the images have a sobering, haunting quality.
Be well, everybody

I was out a few days, so I'm catching up on returning calls, emails, etc. To the person who called once and then the next day told an editor that I haven't returned your calls, you are last on my list.
So, I got a couple documents if you're interested. The first – click right smack here – is the resolution that the commission will vote on when it appoints members.
"Any recommendations that the commission signs off on would be put on the November ballot."
I'm not entirely certain the commission's approval is necessary - I remember that the charter review process was the subject of an attempt by Mike Mitchell (through William Daniels and Elaine Davis, appointed 4th District commissioners at the time) to make it so that commissioners had to sign off on the charter review committee's recommendations before said recommendations hit the ballot.
So, while I can't say you're wrong with certainty, I can say that I'm not sure you're 100% correct on that sentence... and frankly, I hope you're not.

Home Broadcast News Rupert Murdoch sells more voting shares
Rupert Murdoch sells more voting shares
The News Corp. Chairman and CEO sold voting shares in the media company worth around $28.9 million last week, further reducing his voting stake by a fraction of a percent. Murdoch sold a total of one million class B shares last week in two transactions, which valued the stock at $28.85 and $28.86 a share, according to a 2/22 securities filing. The sale comes after Murdoch the previous week sold voting shares in the company valued around $40.1 million.
Murdoch and his family own more than 39% of News Corp.'s voting shares. The vast majority of the family's stake is held through a Murdoch family trust. The shares sold were held by another trust for Murdoch's benefit, reported Dow Jones.
Last week's sale reduced that trust's stake to 8.25 million shares from 9.25 million shares. Overall, the Murdoch family's voting stake dropped to 39.4% from 39.56% as a result. Before the previous week's sale, the voting stake had been 39.7%.
In 11/12, Murdoch sold the remaining portion of his Class A, nonvoting shares in the company, which were valued at more than $10 million. He had sold another $62 million worth of nonvoting shares a year earlier.
See the Dow Jones story here
RBR-TVBR observation: Six months ago, News Corp. stock was trading under $24. It recently almost hit $30, a 22.6% lift. Murdoch certainly is looking for some profit taking in these transactions. However, in the last few days the stock has dropped under $29, perhaps due to some investor fears that Murdoch anticipates a down trend as evidenced by these sell-offs.

To be accepted into a professional school (veterinary medicine) or a graduate program (M.S. or Ph.D.) requires excellent grades and the proper academic background. To help provide the proper academic background for students interested in veterinary medicine and/or graduate studies in animal science, the Pre-Veterinary Track was developed. With this track of study, students can also qualify for professional schools of medicine and pharmacy with a few additional courses taken as electives.
The Pre-Veterinary Track has been successful with former students being accepted into Colleges of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama, California, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, Washington, England, New Zealand and West Indies.


The United States of Europe, the new nation formed by an alliance between the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus and the West Virginians hurled back in time by a cosmic accident—the Ring of Fire—is beset by enemies on all sides.

Newsletter FAQ & administration
This week's articles & videos
Apparently some folks have been getting a notification from Windows 10 that it's on the verge of "end of service". Given Windows 10 was supposed to be the last version of Windows, and it was supposed to work on our machines "forever", that's confusing and perhaps even frightening.
Well, Microsoft did backtrack on at least one promise, but to understand what's really going on we need to also understand the difference between a version and a version.
Yeah. I know. Terminology confuses yet again. I'll lay it all out in this week's featured article Why You're Being Warned About Windows 10 End of Service and What to Do About It.
Also this week:
No, you cannot prevent someone from forwarding a message. Period.
Sites and apps may ask for location permission ... should you grant it? Well, it depends.
How should you manage data you want to keep for decades?

Gary and I took a week off for the holiday.
Because I apparently needed another newsletter
It's a long(ish) story, but I'm trying to do a better job of reading more substantial material -- both books and articles. To that end I've imposed on myself a weekly deadline by adding a weekly newsletter to my weekly to-do list. Nothing says "deadline" like a newsletter schedule.
You can read more about what I'm up to over on my personal blog Upping My Reading Game.
And you can see the result of it all here at 7 Takaways. And, yes, you can sign up for the weekly newsletter there, if you like. There are already a couple of examples.
Years ago some friends were discussing what to say if you were a passenger in a car driving less carefully than you might appreciate. The goal was to express concern while avoiding offending the driver with a criticism which might possibly make it worse. The consensus at the time was that "Whee!!!" might capture the moment.
This is the last newsletter for 2020. Whee!!!!!
May our 2021 be better.

We have no control over these charges which differ, country to country. International customers must therefore make themselves aware of any import duties and other charges before placing an order.
If for any reason you're not satisfied with the product you bought from us we offer an exchange, or refund if you prefer, provided the products are returned to us within 14 days, complete and in original condition, unused and unwashed, and with all the original packaging.

If you return an item(s) for exchange for different item(s) of the same value, your replacement will be despatched within 7 days of receipt.
If you want to exchange for item(s) of a higher value, you must pay the difference in value before we dispatch the replacement item(s).
If exchange is for item(s) of lower value we refund the difference, by refunding the full original amount and recharging the new amount.

The returned goods must be received by us complete, in original condition, unused, unwashed, with all the original packaging and in a fully resalable condition. The costs of delivery will not be refunded.
If you received an item as a gift, you can return it in exchange for a credit valid for 6 months. If you'd prefer a refund please be aware, the amount is credited to the original card or bank account used to buy the gift.

If you are returning items to us from outside South Africa, indicate clearly on the package that the items are "Goods returned to manufacturer for exchange or refund" to avoid delay at South African customs.
In all instances, a refund is given only to the original payer directly to their credit card or bank account. Where possible, refunds are processed within 7 days of receiving the returned items.
If goods that were part of a multiple deal offer are returned for refund, the offer is invalidated to the extent it would no longer comply with the original deal offer; the refund amount will be adjusted accordingly.
Applicable to all returns: if you're returning your entire order you must include any gift you received with the order. For example, we sometimes run a gift promotion of mother of pearl collar stays on purchase of your first shirt from us. If any gift was included, you must also return the gift.
You must arrange and pay for the return of the products to us. Subject to the maximum of our standard applicable delivery charge, we will refund the reasonable cost of return to us on proof of payment, for any faulty item or incorrect item supplied by us.
Important: you are responsible for safely packaging your return to ensure we receive items in original condition. Please therefore use adequate packaging to protect your package during transit.
We are not liable for damage to or loss in transit of any returned items. If you're posting items to us, make sure you get proof of posting at your post office. We highly recommend using Registered Post so that the item may be tracked.

Q: Can I set ionic serve to not open a browser by default? I have multiple browser windows usually and it's always not popping up on the one I want.
Can I disable the feature of ionic serve opening in a browser?

A: You can pass in the --nobrowser option, or simply -b:
ionic serve --nobrowser

A: ionic serve --no-open is the new command. The no-browser has been deprecated

A: Old CLI: As @Claudiu mentioned ionic server -b will not start a browser.
New CLI: the new command is ionic serve --no-open.
If you want to start a browser but not the default one, you can use the -w option.
Eg if Chrome is your default browser, but you want ionic serve to use Firefox instead, you can do something like
ionic serve -w "path/to/firefox.exe" or just ionic serve -w firefox if Firefox is in the path.
More info on ionic serve options:

Cepsa to create Europe's largest green H₂ hub in Spain
HTW Editorial Team
Cepsa has announced an investment of more than €3 billion to establish the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley. The company will build two plants with a total capacity of 2 GW to produce green hydrogen. The plants, with 1 GW of capacity each, will be located in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) and Campo de Gibraltar (Cádiz).
The Huelva plant will start up in 2026, reaching full capacity in 2028, while the Cádiz facility will be operational in 2027. Cepsa is already working on the engineering and administrative processing of the project.
The Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley will produce 300,000 tons of green hydrogen per year, driving the decarbonization of Cepsa's Energy Parks where it will produce advanced biofuels for aviation (SAF), and maritime and heavy land transport. Hydrogen will be particularly important for the production of by-products such as green ammonia and methanol, which will ensure that green marine fuels will be available in the main Spanish ports, helping to decarbonize maritime sector customers.
Implementing this project will save six million tons of CO2 emissions per year. Aside from replacing grey hydrogen in industrial processes, green hydrogen will also have a multiplier effect when used in the production of renewable fuels that will replace traditional fossil fuels.
To generate the renewable electricity needed to feed production of green hydrogen, Cepsa will develop a 3 GW portfolio of wind and solar energy projects with an additional €2 billion investment. The company will also collaborate with other renewable energy producers in Andalusia and the rest of Spain to promote the integration of these new plants into the electricity system.
Cepsa has also signed an agreement with the Port of Rotterdam to create the first green hydrogen corridor between southern and northern Europe, allowing the export of green ammonia and methanol.
During the presentation of this hub, held this morning at the San Roque Energy Park, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said: "This investment will help Spain achieve its goal to become an energy exporting country, with the first European green hydrogen corridor between the Campo de Gibraltar and the Dutch Port of Rotterdam. Andalusia has everything it takes to become one of the most competitive regions in the world for hydrogen production."
Cepsa CEO Maarten Wetselaar added: "The Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley is a groundbreaking project whose 2 GW capacity is 10 times bigger than the largest under construction in Europe today. The project produces green hydrogen at scale that can decarbonize industry, aviation, and heavy road and maritime transport in Europe for Europe."

"We wanted to bring the family portrait to the next century"
Dezeen and MINI World Tour: in latest video from Design Indaba in Cape Town, Masashi Kawamura of Japanese creative agency PARTY talks about the pop-up 3D photo booth he ran in Tokyo last year.
The Omote 3D Shashinkan project, which we featured on Dezeen last year, gave customers the opportunity to buy a 3D-printed model of themselves or their family. "We wanted to find a new way to innovate the form of the family portrait and bring it to the next century," Kawamura explains. "What happens is, when you come, we take a full 3D scan [of your body] using our portable scanners. People could actually bring back home their miniature figurines, instead of a 2D portrait that you normally get."
PARTY used a colour 3D printer to produce the detailed models, which ranged from 10cm to 20cm high, but Kawamura believes there is still a lot of room for the technology to improve. "3D printing for me is a very exciting medium to play around with, but I think it's still in a very early phase of development," he says. "After doing this project we've learnt a lot of technical difficulties and a lot of things that could be done better in terms of technologies and also the materials that we use."
But Kawamura is optimistic about the future possibilities of 3D printing. "Everything, I think, will get better in the next year or two; there'll be significant improvements," he says. "Just the idea that anyone could manufacture their own product is very, very interesting."

Magic's Wendell Carter hopes to return from foot injury in 1-2 weeks – Boston Herald
posted on Dec. 02, 2022 at 12:02 am
He would at least miss Saturday and Monday's game vs. the Milwaukee Bucks at Amway Center, which kicks off a five-game homestand, if he's sidelined for another week.
If he misses two weeks, he'll sit for the matchups against the Clippers and Raptors. The Dec. 14 game is exactly two weeks from when Carter spoke with the Sentinel.
Carter's wearing a boot and is doing cardio that doesn't force him to bear weight on the foot, such as an exercise bike.
While he hopes to return within the next couple of weeks, that'll depend on how he responds to treatment in the coming days and weeks.

This makeup has excellent coverage for a powder foundation! It lasts ALL day. I got a few bad pimples while using this but my skin is very sensitive. I like that you can buy sample pots from their website since buying online it's hard to know your shade and if it will work well and agree with your skin.
After being prescribed Epiduo cream (mix of Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene) by my GP, I found that my skin became incredibly sensitive and I could no longer wear my ordinary mousse foundation. The mineral powder foundation by Lily Lolo has been a lifesaver. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and conveniently absorbs oil so that my skin isn't too shiny. I can apply it at 8am in the morning and it still looks ok at 5pm - although a little oily by the end of the day. They do a fantastic range of shades too. It is affordable and comes in a generously sized container - much better value than other well known mineral foundations and just as good. I use it with the Lily Lolo Matte Finishing Powder. The best thing? It doesn't give me spots!!! After wearing make-up I usually expect a break-out but this foundation never gives me extra spots, and it covers the existing ones nicely. Lily Lolo is a UK site but I believe they also do international delivery. IMPORTANT NOTE: This make-up needs to be applied with a brush which should be washed regularly to avoid bacteria. I wash my brushes after 4 or 5 uses but you can buy a special anti-bacterial spray from Boots to clean brushes after each use.

Remembering Hanukkah
Last year during the time of Hanukkah, I covered the events that lead to the creation of the festival of dedication (Hanukkah). The details gathered from 1 Maccabees provided us with an overall view of what transpired, the Greeks invading Jerusalem, the plundering and ransacking of the Temple, the slaughtering of the House of Judah, the Maccabean rebellion that pushed out the Greek army, and the rededication of the Temple that became known as the festival of Hanukkah. This post will cover some of the finer details mentioned in 2 Maccabees, that are as inspirational as they are tear-jerking. As I stated in "The Story of Hanukkah", many see a connection between what the Greeks did to Judah and what will occur during the time of the great tribulation. So, as you read on, take to heart the courage our ancestors showed in the face of death and how they honored Elohim until the end.
"Not long after that, the king sent an elderly Athenian to force the Jews to abandon their religion and the customs of their ancestors. He was also to defile their Temple by dedicating it to the Olympian god Zeus." (2 Maccabees 6:1-2)
"The oppression was harsh and almost intolerable. Gentiles filled the Temple with drinking parties and all sorts of immorality. They even had intercourse with prostitutes there. Forbidden objects were brought into the Temple, and the altar was covered with detestable sacrifices prohibited by our Torah. It was impossible to observe the Sabbath, to celebrate any of the traditional festivals, or even so much as to admit to being a Jew. Each month when the king's birthday was celebrated, the Jews were compelled by brute force to eat the intestines of sacrificial animals. Then, during the festival in honor of the wine god Dionysus, they were required to wear ivy wreaths on their heads and march in procession. On the advice of Ptolemy, the neighboring Greek cities were also instructed to require Jews to eat the sacrifices; they were told to put to death every Jew who refused to adopt the Greek way of life. It was easy to see that hard times were ahead. For example, two women were arrested for having their babies circumcised. They were paraded around the city with their babies hung from their breasts; then they were thrown down from the city wall. On another occasion, Philip was told that some Jews had gathered in a nearby cave to observe the Sabbath in secret. Philip attacked and burned them all alive. They had such respect for the Sabbath that they would not fight to defend themselves." (2 Maccabees 6:3-11)
The punishment for keeping Torah was death, and while many Jews acquiesced to the demands of the Greeks in order to preserve their lives, a great number also obedient unto death. If we are ever faced with such atrocities, we must remember what Master Yeshua said.
"Then יהושע said to His taught ones, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake, and follow Me. "For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. "For what is a man profited if he gains all the world, and loses his own life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Adam is going to come in the esteem of His Father with His messengers, and then He shall reward each according to his works." (Matthew 16:24-27)
It is better to die being obedient than it is to live in disobedience.
"I beg you not to become discouraged as you read about the terrible things that happened. Consider that this was YHWH's way of punishing his people, not of destroying them. In fact, it is a sign of kindness to punish a person immediately for his sins, rather than to wait a long time. YHWH does not treat us as he does other nations: he waits patiently until they have become deeply involved in sin before he punishes them, but he punishes us before we have sinned too much. So YHWH is always merciful to us, his own people. Although he punishes us with disasters, he never abandons us. I have made these few observations by way of reminder. We will now get on with the story." (2 Maccabees 6:12-17)
The House of Judah was being punished for the transgression they had committed before the Greeks arrived. The author of 2 Maccabees points out that YHWH punishes his children promptly instead of allowing them to wallow in sin until utter destruction befalls them. This is in agreement with the rest of scriptures.
"Thus, you shall know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so יהוה your Elohim disciplines you," therefore you shall guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim, to walk in His ways and to fear Him." (Deuteronomy 8:5-6)
"My son, do not despise the discipline of יהוה, And do not loathe His reproof; For whom יהוה loves He reproves, As a father the son whom he delights in." (Proverbs 3:11-12)
The following account shows us how important it is to stand up for Yah, not only for ourselves but for those watching around us.
"There was an elderly and highly respected teacher of the Torah by the name of Eleazar, whose mouth was being forced open to make him eat pork. But he preferred an honorable death rather than a life of disgrace. So he spit out the meat and went willingly to the place of torture, showing how people should have courage to refuse unclean food, even if it costs them their lives. Those in charge of the sacrifice had been friends of Eleazar for a long time, and because of this friendship they told him privately to bring meat that was lawful for him to eat. He need only pretend to eat the pork, they said, and in this way he would not be put to death. But Eleazar made a decision worthy of his gray hair and advanced age. All his life he had lived in perfect obedience to YHWH's holy Torah, so he replied, Kill me, here and now. Such deception is not worthy of a man of my years. Many young people would think that I had denied my faith after I was ninety years old. If I pretended to eat this meat, just to live a little while longer, it would bring shame and disgrace on me and lead many young people astray. For the present I might be able to escape what you could do to me, but whether I live or die, I cannot escape Almighty Elohim. If I die bravely now, it will show that I deserved my long life. It will also set a good example of the way young people should be willing and glad to die for our sacred and respected Torah. As soon as he said these things, he went off to be tortured, and the very people who had treated him kindly a few minutes before, now turned against him, because they thought he had spoken like a madman. When they had beaten him almost to the point of death, he groaned and said, YHWH possesses all holy knowledge. He knows I could have escaped these terrible sufferings and death, yet he also knows that I gladly suffer these things, because I fear him. So Eleazar died. But his courageous death was remembered as a glorious example, not only by young people, but by the entire nation as well." (2 Maccabees 6:18-31)
Truly an inspiring example Eleazar and the next passage will be as emotional as it is rousing.
"On another occasion a Jewish mother and her seven sons were arrested. The king was having them beaten to force them to eat pork. Then one of the young men said, "What do you hope to gain by doing this? We would rather die than abandon the traditions of our ancestors." This made the king so furious that he gave orders for huge pans and kettles to be heated red hot, and it was done immediately. Then he told his men to cut off the tongue of the one who had spoken and to scalp him and chop off his hands and feet, while his mother and six brothers looked on. After the young man had been reduced to a helpless mass of breathing flesh, the king gave orders for him to be carried over and thrown into one of the pans. As a cloud of smoke streamed up from the pan, the brothers and their mother encouraged one another to die bravely, saying, "YHWH Elohim is looking on and understands our suffering. Moses made this clear when he wrote a song condemning those who had abandoned YHWH. He said, YHWH will have mercy on those who serve him." After the first brother had died in this way, the soldiers started amusing themselves with the second one by tearing the hair and skin from his head. Then they asked him, "Now will you eat this pork, or do you want us to chop off your hands and feet one by one?" He replied in his native language, "I will never eat it!" So the soldiers tortured him, just as they had the first one, but with his dying breath he cried out to the king, "You butcher! You may kill us, but the King of the universe will raise us from the dead and give us eternal life, because we have obeyed his Torah." The soldiers began entertaining themselves with the third brother. When he was ordered to stick out his tongue, he quickly did so. Then he bravely held out his hands and courageously said, "Elohim gave these to me. But His Torah mean more to me than my hands, and I know Elohim will give them back to me again." The king and those with him were amazed at his courage and at his willingness to suffer. After he had died, the soldiers tortured the fourth one in the same cruel way, but his final words were, "I am glad to die at your hands, because we have the assurance that Elohim will raise us from death. But there will be no resurrection to life for you, Antiochus!" When the soldiers took the fifth boy and began torturing him, he looked the king squarely in the eye and said, "You have the power to do whatever you want with us, even though you also are mortal. But do not think that Elohim has abandoned our people. Just wait. Elohim will use his great power to torture you and your descendants." Then the soldiers took the sixth boy, and just before he died he said, "Make no mistake. We are suffering what we deserve, because we have sinned against our Elohim. That's why all these terrible things are happening to us. But don't think for a minute that you will avoid being punished for fighting against Elohim." The mother was the most amazing one of them all, and she deserves a special place in our memory. Although she saw her seven sons die in a single day, she endured it with great courage because she trusted in YHWH. She combined womanly emotion with manly courage and spoke words of encouragement to each of her sons in their native language. "I do not know how your life began in my womb, she would say, I was not the one who gave you life and breath and put together each part of your body. It was Elohim who did it, Elohim who created the universe, the human race, and all that exists. He is merciful and he will give you back life and breath again, because you love his Torah more than you love yourself." Antiochus was sure that the mother was making fun of him, so he did his best to convince her youngest son to abandon the traditions of his ancestors. He promised not only to make the boy rich and famous, but to place him in a position of authority and to give him the title 'Friend of the King'. But the boy paid no attention to him, so Antiochus tried to persuade the boy's mother to talk him into saving his life, and after much persuasion she agreed to do so. Leaning over her son, she fooled the cruel tyrant by saying in her native language, "My son, have pity on me. Remember that I carried you in my womb for nine months and nursed you for three years. I have taken care of you and looked after all your needs up to the present day. So I urge you, my child, to look at the sky and the earth. Consider everything you see there, and realize that Elohim made it all from nothing, just as he made the human race. Don't be afraid of this butcher. Give up your life willingly and prove yourself worthy of your brothers, so that by Elohim's mercy I may receive you back with them at the resurrection." Before she could finish speaking, the boy said, "King Antiochus, what are you waiting for? I refuse to obey your orders. I only obey the commands in the Torah which Moses gave to our ancestors. You have thought up all kinds of cruel things to do to our people, but you won't escape the punishment that Elohim has in store for you. It is true that our living Elohim is angry with us and is making us suffer because of our sins, in order to correct and discipline us. But this will last only a short while, for we are still his servants, and he will forgive us. But you are the cruelest and most disgusting thing that ever lived. So don't fool yourself with illusions of greatness while you punish Elohim's people. There is no way for you to escape punishment at the hands of the almighty and all-seeing Elohim. My brothers suffered briefly because of our faithfulness to Elohim's covenant, but now they have entered eternal life. But you will fall under Elohim's judgment and be punished as you deserve for your arrogance. I now give up my body and my life for the Torah of our ancestors, just as my brothers did. But I also beg Elohim to show mercy to his people quickly and to torture you until you are forced to acknowledge that he alone is Elohim. May my brothers and I be the last to suffer the anger of Almighty Elohim, which he has justly brought upon our entire nation." These words of ridicule made Antiochus so furious that he had the boy tortured even more cruelly than his brothers. And so the boy died, with absolute trust in YHWH, never unfaithful for a minute. Last of all, the mother was put to death." (2 Maccabees 7:1-41)
Wow, what a heart reaching account of a family standing up for Yah and His Torah. To think they would lose their life instead of eating pork, and yet billions of people proclaim to love Elohim while stuffing their faces with pork. The Torah is not a burden, if it was these people would not have endured the torture they did to honor it. This Hanukkah and the ones that follow remember what those who came before us went through and if that time comes, let us prove worthy of remembrance as well.

Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group members meet The Prince of Wales
Members of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group met The Prince of Wales at Clarence House on the occasion of the group's fiftieth meeting.
The group of foreign ministers, known as CMAG, acts as the custodian of Commonwealth political values, including democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
The briefing – led by chair of CMAG, Cyprus' Minister of Foreign Affairs Ioannis Kasoulides, and Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland – took place ahead of the group's milestone half-century meeting at Marlborough House, in London, on 17 March 2017.
Secretary-General Patricia Scotland said, "Members were delighted to be received by The Prince of Wales."
The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group was established 22 years ago in 1995 to promote and protect the Commonwealth's fundamental political values, which are enshrined in the Charter of the Commonwealth.
The Secretary-General continued: "The Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group exemplifies the very supportive manner in which the governments of our member states work together to uphold and advance the values and principles of our Commonwealth Charter, to which all our governments have voluntarily committed themselves."
CMAG is made up of a rotating group of foreign ministers from nine countries, drawn from different regions, including the foreign minister of the Commonwealth Chair in Office. Its meetings are convened by the Commonwealth Secretary-General with the Commonwealth Secretariat providing support.
Members of CMAG who participated in the meeting at Clarence House include Guyana's Vice President and Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Barrington Greenidge, India's Minister of State for External Affairs M. J. Akbar, Kenya's High Commissioner to the UK Lazarus O. Amayo, Malta's Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr George Vella, New Zealand's High Commissioner to the UK Lockwood Smith, and Pakistan's Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz.

National artist defends student after Ultraman Buddha controversy
published : 8 Sep 2019 at 16:13

Renowned artist Chalermchai Kositpipat has supported a student under fire for painting Lord Buddha as Ultraman, a famous Japanese superhero protecting the world from evils.
Mr Chalermchai on Sunday said the art pieces painted by the student at Nakhonratchasima Rajabhat University show a courageous creativity that represents the thoughts of the young generation about Lord Buddha.
"What is happening shows a problem in our society. When young generations have creative ideas and use their imagination with a courage that reflects change, they are always criticised so that they do not want to do something new," Manager Online on Sunday quoted him as saying.
"Many kids can paint Lord Buddha as he was perfectly, but how many of them can think out of the box? This student can and she has done nothing wrong," the outspoken artist said. "Ultraman is the best character to represent Lord Buddha as far as her idea is concerned."
Mr Chalermchai is best known for the creation of Wat Rong Khun to show his dedication to the religion. The temple draws worshippers and tourists to his home province of Chiang Rai.
The art student, whose name was withheld, came under attack after two of her four paintings were shown in public at an exhibition at Terminal 21 in Nakhon Ratchasima last Tuesday. The images were later shared on social media.
The organiser later removed them from the show.

On Saturday, the student was accompanied by provincial governor Wichien Chantharanothai and university vice rector Thawat Trachu and officials of the Buddhism Provincial Office and the Culture Provincial Office to call on Nakhon Ratchasima chief monk Phra Thepseemaporn.
She apologised to the monk and public for creating the paintings. But the student said she had no intention to ridicule or look down on Lord Buddha and the religion.
"I just wanted to show that Lord Buddha is a hero like Ultraman, who can stay calm among the temptations surrounding him and also protect human beings from evil to keep the world at peace," the student explained in tears.
Phra Thepseemaporn advised her to think thoroughly about religious issues due to their sensitivity and impact on worshippers.
The governor ordered all educational institutions in the province to check all work by students before presenting it to the public.


Profits at Jaguar Land Rover were almost cut in half in the fourth quarter as the car maker was stung by a combination of falling diesel sales, Brexit uncertainty and vehicle taxation.
The group, owned by India's Tata Motors, saw pre-tax profit slump to £364million in the three months to March 31, down from £676million in the same period last year.
For the year as a whole, pre-tax profits edged down from £1.6billion to £1.5billion.
Jaguar Land Rover said that strong retail sales in the likes of China and North America were offset by a 12.8% decline in the UK, where it was "impacted by consumer uncertainty surrounding diesel models, Brexit and vehicle taxation".
In January the car giant said it is to cut production at its Halewood plant amid slowing demand caused by Brexit and consumer concern over the future of diesel vehicles.
But boss Ralf Speth chose to focus on full-year revenues, which increased 6% to £25.8 billion.
"Despite external headwinds, these results reflect the underlying strengths of Jaguar Land Rover.
"Sales have reached a new high. Strong demand in our key overseas markets has offset the challenging conditions in the UK and other parts of Europe.
"As we mark the first 10 years of Tata ownership, our focus is on shaping our future and we will continue with over-proportional investment in new vehicles, manufacturing facilities and next-generation automotive technologies."
The group sold 614,309 cars over the year, with strong demand for Range Rover Velar, Discovery and Jaguar F-PACE.

The Night Alive ****
The Night Alive @ Guild Hall
By Patrick Christiano
An atmospheric production of Conor McPherson's gripping and poetic play, directed by Stephen Hamilton, opens at Guild Hall
Guild Hall in association with Ellen Myers is presenting a solid production of The Night Alive by Conor McPherson. The play won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play of the 2013-2014 season in a premiere production Off Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company with the same cast that originated the play in London at the Domar Warehouse in 2013 before transferring to New York City. Subsequent productions were done in Chicago and Los Angeles before coming to East Hampton.
Stephen Hamilton has helmed a terrific and intimately atmospheric production on the stage of Guild Hall, where the audience of only 75 sits on two sides of the stage with the actors. For this unique undertaking Hamilton has assembled an outstanding ensemble of actors led by Kevin O'Rourke and J. Stephen Brantley with featured performances by Tuck Milligan, Molly Carden and Rob DiSario. Their exceptional work and the cozy setting make you feel as if you are peaking from windows into the rooming house in Dublin, where the play is set.
Tommy (O'Rourke), a mature 50 plus regular guy rents a room from his Uncle Maurice (Milligan), who lives upstairs and lost his wife three years earlier from a freak accidental fall on the ice when they were arguing. He wasn't holding her hand and blames himself. Tommy's friend, Doc (Brantley), a mentally challenged younger man whose brain functions 5 to 10 seconds slower than everyone else, often shares the room with him. Doc also helps Tommy doing odd jobs moving things around with Tommy's van, and Tommy sort of looks out for Doc. Neither of them are in any kind of relationship, and they scrape by from day to day until one night.
Tommy rescues a young prostitute Aimee (Carden) from a beating on the street by her boyfriend. He brings her home to help her get cleaned up, but she ends up staying. An uncertain friendship develops between Tommy and Aimee, although Tommy clearly has feelings for the young woman. Over the following weeks a friendship develops between Aimee and the other men in the house. The story, however, turns decidedly dark and explosive when trouble crashes into their lives in the form of Aimee's ex- boyfriend, Kenneth (DiSario), who comes looking for her.
The story is an unsettling look at five imperfect people attempting to connect in the darkness – like one character says, "It's like my eyes have been taken out, and I just can't see what's in front of me, like it's always nighttime, so when nighttime really comes, you think it feels like a relief."
There is a moment in the production where Tommy, Doc and Aimee dance to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," which could be an apt description of the character's fumbling attempts at making connections.
The Night Alive is now playing at Guild Hall through May 22 with performances Wednesday – Sunday at 8pm. For tickets call the box office 631-3244050. Photo Diane DuPuis
