Abbott Deceives Australian Pensioners: Clive Palmer
Australia's pensioners and senior citizens had been deceived by the Abbott government through heartless concession cuts, health care hikes and superannuation changes, according to Palmer United Party federal leader and Member for Fairfax, Clive Palmer.
Mr Palmer said the Palmer United Party would continue to fight for Australian pensioners who had been badly let down by a Federal Budget filled with lies and broken promises.
"Many of our senior citizens have voted for the Liberal Party for 50 years or more and this is the thanks they get – a raid on their pensions and superannuation through the GP co-payment and other health hikes, extending the age of eligibility to 70 and more,'' he said.
"The real reason Prime Minister Tony Abbott wants to extend the pension age and the superannuation preservation age is to stop Australians accessing their superannuation when they can enjoy it.
"This plays into the hands of the Liberal Party masters in the superannuation industry in Australia.
"And nowhere is the attack on pensioners more ruthless than with the Government's destruction of Medicare to make way for a health system exclusively for the rich.
"From July 1, 2015, pensioner contribution towards the cost of PBS medicines will increase by 80 cents per script and pensioners will have to pay $7.00 for each GP visit for the first 10 visits.
"In practice a pensioner has to pay for a blood test, an x-ray and so on. This means the annual commitment could be in the region of $300,'' Mr Palmer said.
Mr Palmer said it was very concerning that already thousands of patients had stopped visiting their doctors because of the anticipated financial burden.
Mr Palmer said the Palmer United Party senators will oppose the co-payment because all Australians must be allowed free access to hospitals and doctors regardless of their economic circumstances.
"Low income earners, single parent families, pensioners, nursing home patients and those who are socially or financially disadvantaged will be hardest hit by a GP co-payment.
"It is a ruthless attack on Australians when savings can be made elsewhere in the budget.
"The co-payment should be dropped today. The Palmer United Party will not support a co-payment in the Senate,'' Mr Palmer said.

Why remote offices mean better IT teams
By Rich Hein
Senior Managing Editor, CIO |
As the IT market evolves, so has the way America's IT workers do their job. According to a recent BLS survey, 24 percent of working Americans reported that they work at least some hours at home each week.
As IT job markets become more and more competitive, this trend is likely to continue. While this shift offers many benefits, it also brings its own set of problems that center on communication, collaboration and the unification of your team. CIO.com spoke with the CEO of REAL Software, Geoff Perlman, to find out what it takes to run an operation that consists entirely of remote employees.
"Remote employees are increasingly common in the IT field. It's an adjustment that's happening," says Perlman, who has a unique perspective on remote employees having run a technology company for more than four years, employing only remote workers. However, it wasn't always that way. While Perlman was starting his company in Austin, Texas, in 2008 he had only one remote developer who didn't want to leave his native Colorado. As his company grew, and he hired more remote office employees, he became more and more comfortable with the idea.
"I was reading an article about how 75 percent of MySQL developers work from home and I found that interesting. IBM also has huge amount of people who work from home. It made me realize that it was a possibility and I did my research," says Perlman.
After doing his research, Perlman gathered all his employees and hashed out a plan where every employee would work remotely for a month. In that month, they identified tools for communicating and collaborating as well as identified problems that they needed to deal with. The experience made Perlman decide to move his entire operation out of a traditional brick and mortar office and into remote offices.

The Benefits of Remote Employees
Advances in collaboration and communication technology in recent years have made sharing documents, video conferencing/desktop-sharing and instant messaging second nature to most people who work in the IT market.
In a recent Harvard Business Review Blog, Scott Edinger argues that remote employees are, in fact, more engaged and connected, and employers are really the ones benefitting from all this.
Employees who work remotely, of course, don't require a physical office and many times use most of their own hardware and software, says Perlman. It's also worth noting that, according to BLS statistics, remote employees work on average an hour longer each day than their brethren in the office, which can equate to almost six extra weeks of productivity over the course of the year.
"I find I work much longer hours from home. Many clients expect me to be available 24/7 and I try to accommodate them even when it means working late or weekends," says Linda Cole, remote office worker and Internet consultant.
In its report The Hard Truth about Telecommuting. BLS also says, "an increasing number of jobs in the American economy could be performed at home if employers were willing to allow employees to do so."
How to Find the Right Fit
Building a remote IT team poses significant challenges, not the least of which is finding the person with the right skillset who also fits well into your company culture. Perlman says it's not necessarily important to find someone with experience working remotely. However, the three items below are critical to success when searching for someone to work remotely:
Great communication skills
Passionate about their work
Excited about the idea of working from home
"Qualities that you typically look for when interviewing candidates need to be even stronger than a typical office person," says Perlman, "If they are a supervisor or manager and manage remote employees then they need to be able to read signals better because [they] won't be able to use body language."
Managers need to listen more closely for those clues that can signal discontent, boredom or burnout. "Typically it's strong communicators and classic self-starters who are team-oriented. Screen carefully," says Perlman.
The tone you use when communicating can also play a factor. "While it's important to be able to read signals from remote workers, it's equally important to be careful in how you express yourself. If you can't see your remote employee's body language--they can't see yours either," says Cole. Abrupt emails or phone calls can make a remote employee feel uneasy, even more so when it's a regular routine.

Communicating and Collaborating With Remote Employees
Getting the right employees on board is only half the battle. Keeping them engaged and excited can be challenging as well. "Setting the tone for your remote, collaborative team is vital," says Perlman. Developing an effective communication plan should be a top priority.
Perlman's team uses several tools to collaborate and communicate including remote mail hosting, Google Docs for file-sharing, desktop screen-sharing software and Skype for video conferencing. "Communication among team members varies depending on client/company preferences. Corporations I've worked for seem to prefer in-house and/or for-a-fee solutions while individual clients prefer free solutions: Skype, Yahoo IM and email," says Cole.
Intranets can also a great way to foster collaboration. "I've developed an entire intranet site that pulls together pertinent corporate information, multiple web-site specs, how-to manuals, contact directories, to-do lists, etc. for a client and their remote team members, using Google Sites. This intranet, along with Google Docs, eventually replaced third-party project management tools and 'to-do list' software," says Cole.
Office collaboration and project management tools are also a great way to help bring new team members up to speed. All the existing comments and notes available inside these tools allows new team members insight into how and why things were done, providing data that you wouldn't necessarily get from a verbal turnover. As for training employees on new technologies Perlman says, "If they can hear you and see your screen, how is it different than being in the office?"
Avoid Common Remote Employee Pitfalls
What's most important, says Perlman, is that "companies need to have metrics that show whether or not the employees are getting the job done." One of the largest issues with remote employees, which affect businesses of all sizes, is how to get everyone on the same page. However, Perlman says he noticed something else, too, "An unexpected side-effect was that when we had an office, a lot of discussions and meetings would take place informally. Remote employees felt left out of the discussions and would hear about decisions made after the fact." With all of his employees working remotely, this problem went away. The people who should have been in the know, were included appropriately.
While remote employees don't have to deal with the pressures of commuting and have a more flexible work schedule, they face their own unique challenges each day. Remote office workers often feel disconnected, out of the decision-making loop and passed over during promotion times. "Particularly discouraging to the remote worker is spending hours on a task only to find out that in-office discussion has changed the task description or deemed the task unnecessary," says Cole.
An employer must do what's necessary to make everyone feel included. Perlman says a crucial part of his job is to recognize the subtle clues employees give when feeling this way and then to address them in a positive way with the employee.
To avoid the most common problems, Perlman says, "we communicate a lot, sometimes it's IM, sometimes we'll just get on video chat and talk about anything other than work. As a manager, I look for signs that someone is under a lot of stress. If I see that, I bring it up to them and we talk about it."
Face-to face time is also important, "When you have teams you do need to get them together physically. There is a big benefit to that," says Perlman. "Each year we get our teams together. We'll do planning and strategy meetings, but we'll also have fun together."
This type of team-building can play an important role in fostering company culture and employee bonding. Having meetings at restaurants or coffee shops are another way to get that face-to-face time.
Having the right strategy in place can keep your employees happy and productive. Our attrition rate is lower now, says Perlman, "because before there was more of a desire to move people to Austin. People would move because they wanted the job but they were leaving behind friends, family... ."

To Build a Remote Office or Not?
Remote office employees may not be for every industry, but the dollars and cents are starting to add up in favor of it. Not being constrained by a physical office can offer employers a much larger group of IT professionals to enlist, allowing companies that are willing to take the plunge to build a stronger team than ever.
Does your company employ remote offices? What are the major issues you face? Thank you for your feedback.

Solenopsis xyloni and Forelius mccooki: Nosy Ant Neighbors?
A few ant nests dot the sides of a walking pathway at a nearby park, so of course I have to check them out.
For the most part the nests are small colonies of southern fire ants, Solenopsis xyloni.
There are also seemingly endless streams of Forelius mccooki workers traveling along the concrete edgers and sidewalks.
While taking photographs of the fire ant middens, I noticed the fire ants had a few visitors standing by an entrance hole.
Millimeters away from the fire ant workers stood two Forelius workers.
Curious, I watched for some minutes. The fire ants did not approach the Forelius, and the Forelius remained relatively still. They didn't appear to be investigating the middens.
Interestingly, the soldiers don't seem to respond. According to his notes (scroll down to Southern fire ant), the Forelius were ultimately successful in overtaking the food.
Ants of the Southwest has a photograph of a Forelius worker spraying a S. xyloni worker. He reports S. xyloni exoskeletons piled in Forelius middens, which is also reported here.
Even though southern fire ants are chemically well defended, perhaps they are no match for Forelius.
Have you ever encountered these two species?

Why the Mach E is a real Mustang
It caused a lot discussions between the enthusiasts. In fact, it stole the show from the Los Angeles Auto Show, both for its performance and technology, and for its name. If you haven't guessed yet, this is about the Ford Mustang Mach E, the first of a long line of 100% electric vehicle that Ford will offer in the future.
Technically, the Mach E is a success. With its five versions, its range of up to 480 kilometers and the ability of its GT version to accelerate like a racing car, it is spectacular.
You just have to take a look inside, to admire the large 15.5-inch central screen, or the smallest screen that serves as a dashboard for the pilot, to realize the effort invested in this vehicle to make it innovative and spectacular.
But then, why was a sport utility vehicle called Mustang ?
A question that purists (and that we, too) are often asked. The answer is simple: because the Mach E has everything you need to be a Mustang, except the traditional form.
Let's first take the time to define what a Mustang is: it is a car with spectacular performance. The Mach E can accelerate, with its GT Performance, up to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds. We can say that the comparison holds.
It's a car (the Mustang) that made history. We can safely say that the Mach E has already done the same thing if we judge by the comments collected everywhere.
It is a car that has lasted over time. True, but it has evolved and changed a lot over the years. We must therefore perceive the Mach E as an evolution of what the modern Mustang will be.
It is a car with an easily recognizable physique. Look at the Mach E: it shares the rear lights, the galloping horse, and the general, but elevated, silhouette of the traditional Mustang.
So Mustang yes or no? In fact, it really doesn't matter. Suffice it to know that it is an avant-garde vehicle, with spectacular technical capabilities, and that it will be available next fall. But hurry and book it now. When the future shows up, you have to grasp it quickly!

The killing comes while the SL military has stepped up harassment of former LTTE members, especially before the Tamil Eelam Heroes Day on 27 November, the sources said.
Nakuleswaran was released on 24 December 2012 after prolonged SL military custody following the genocidal onslaught on Vanni.
More than 200 SL military personnel were deployed at the settlement of Easan-kudiyiruppu at Kaneasapuram of Ve'l'laangku'lam on Thursday. There were many intelligence operatives at the site and the SL soldiers didn't allow external visitors to visit the house of the victim.
A week ago, two unknown men had come asking for Nakuleswaran, according to the mother-in-law of the victim.
Nakuleswaran had no known enemies, his wife, Kavitha, who is a teacher at the Ve'l'laangku'lam Tamil School said.
In the meantime, Sri Lankan military intelligence has deployed civil officials working under the SL Ministry of Resettlement, to collect particulars of the ex-LTTE members who are re-united with their families. The officials visiting the settlement had also instructed the former LTTE members not to change their mobile phone numbers without informing them.

Theresa May's government found in contempt of Parliament
Adam Bienkov and Adam Payne
Theresa May.
The UK government has been found in contempt of Parliament for the first time ever.
Members of Parliament on Tuesday afternoon voted to find Theresa May's government in contempt of parliament after it refused to release official legal advice on the prime minister's Brexit deal.
The advice, given to Cabinet ministers last month, spells out the legal implications of the UK's draft Brexit deal with the European Union, including the controversial backstop for avoiding a hard Irish border.
The vote spells serious trouble for May as she prepares for an upcoming parliamentary vote on the deal.
LONDON — Theresa May's government has been found in contempt of Parliament after it refused to comply with a motion passed by Members of Parliament (MPs) demanding that it release the full legal advice on the prime minister's Brexit deal.
MPs voted 311 to 293 to find May's government in contempt on Tuesday afternoon. It is the first time in parliamentary history a UK government has been found in contempt by MPs.
Following the vote, the government announced that they will now comply with the demand to publish the advice in full, but only after a separate parliamentary committee has examined it.
"We have tested the opinion of the House twice on this very serious subject," the Leader of the Commons Andrea Leadsom said immediately after the historic vote.
"We have listened carefully and in light of the expressed will of the House, we will publish the final and full advice provided by the attorney general to Cabinet. But recognizing the very serious constitutional issues this raises, I've referred the matter to the privileges committee to consider the implications of the humble address."
The advice, that has already been given to ministers in May's Cabinet, spells out the legal implications of the UK's Brexit deal with the European Union, agreed on by negotiators last month.
It contains details on the most controversial aspects of the Withdrawal Agreement, including the backstop policy for avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland after Brexit.
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox had said it was not in the public interest to publish the advice.
Attorney General Cox reacts to the vote:
Geoffrey Cox.
The motion, passed on Tuesday evening, did not name any individual minister.
However, if May's government had continued to refuse to comply with the demands to release the legal advice in full, then Attorney General Geoffrey Cox or other ministers could have faced suspension from Parliament.
Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, described the vote as a "badge of shame" for the government.
"Never before has the House of Commons found ministers in contempt of Parliament," the Labour MP said.
"It is highly regrettable that the government has let it come to this, but ministers left the opposition with no option but to bring forward these proceedings.
"By treating Parliament with contempt, the government has proved it has lost its majority and the respect of the House. The prime minister can't keep pushing Parliament away or avoiding responsible scrutiny."
It is a long-standing constitutional convention in the UK that Parliament is sovereign, and the government must be subject to its will. However, May's government had argued that a separate convention against revealing confidential legal advice supplied to ministers had precedence.
MPs today rejected that position, as well as a separate motion to have the matter decided by a committee of MPs at a later date. The latter amendment was narrowly rejected by 311 votes to 307.
The decision, backed by a number of Conservative MPs as well as the Democratic Unionist Party, which has propped up her government, spells trouble for May's government as it approaches the crucial vote on the prime minister's Brexit deal due to take place next Tuesday.

I don't know about you, but my friends and I seem to share more meals over the summer. There's something about sunshine and all the fresh fruit and vegetables that inspires me to invite friends over and to trying new recipes. And, this summer I've been working on upping my game by trying to be more "chef-y". Ok – that's a term I've coined – but I'll explain what I mean.
Obviously, chefs have specialized training and know a whole range of things about food. They also know where to find all sorts of exotic ingredients. For example, not too long ago I had a pasta dish that had little teeny tear-drop shaped peppers that I had never seen before. Turns out they were Sweety Drops from Peru.
But, I've observed a handful of things chefs do that I think end up making a big difference and I've been focusing my energy on these. The first has to do with planning the meal. I used to decide what I wanted to serve and I'd go in search of the necessary ingredients. The past few years I've taken a more chef-like approach. Now I narrow it down to a few different recipes and I don't make the decision until I'm at the market. Then I choose whatever seems the freshest and best value. It seems a no-brainer, I know – but it does require a level of flexibility.
I've noticed that chefs also pay a lot of attention to texture in dishes. For example, a sprinkling of pine nuts on a plate of pasta or a handful of shredded cabbage tucked inside a pulled pork sandwich is probably more about adding crunch than about adding flavour.
Colour is also something I'm sure chefs consider and it's something I'm paying more attention to too. While you won't catch me adding squid ink to make my risotto a dramatic black, I do look for ways of adding colour. For example, I may add sliced red pepper on top of a green bean salad, or a spear of roasted carrot alongside a scoop of rice. I also try to make sure there's colour contrast between the main and sides.
Another chef-y thing is how they combine interesting, unexpected flavours. Pickled veggies seem to be a favourite way of adding a bit of tang, while chutneys and compotes are often used to add some heat. While I enjoy some chutneys, I'm not keen enough on them to bother making them. But, I've been playing around with quick pickling things ever since I read somewhere that it's a great way of using up leftover veggies. My current favourite is adding quick pickled corn to arugula salad – it adds colour, zest, and interest. Very chef-y, don't you think?
Mind you, some combinations chefs come up with seem to work better on paper than in reality. The other day, I ordered a burger because I was intrigued by one item in the description: tomato jam. I'd never heard of that and so I was curious to see whether it was just some fancy catsup. Turns out it was truly a jam – very sweet. I'm not a fan of mixing sweet and savoury, so it kinda ruined the burger for me. So, it's not something I'm going to try to imitate, but I don't mind saying it's nice to know that not every combo a chef comes up with is necessarily a winner either!
And of course, there's plating the food, which chefs have raised to an art form. Whether it's a thin streak of pesto along the edge of the salad plate, or a carefully sculpted pyramid of saffron rice next to a flakey piece of fish – chefs clearly have an artistic vision for each dish. And, when they plate something, they always manage to add a few little grace notes – perhaps a couple wafer thin radishes or a curly garlic scape for good measure.
Of course, because a restaurant menu features many different dishes, a chef has all sorts of interesting ingredients on hand that can be used to add pizazz. It's a bit more of a challenge to have a variety of little things to add to make a plate look interesting when you live alone. But, if you were to peak inside my refrigerator this summer, you'd see that I've been making quite an effort in this regard.
So, I've been having fun playing around with all these things – from planning the menu, to adding texture, to trying unusual combinations and being more creative in how I plate things. But, does all this mean that somewhere deep down inside I wish I'd have become a chef? I honestly think the answer is no. I love learning about cooking and I enjoy trying to make different things. But, I wouldn't want it as a career because I'd hate for it to start to feel like a job. Instead, I'm happy just trying to be more chef-y.
As the story of the Thai soccer team in the cave was unfolding, I chose not to read articles about it. Part of the reason I avoided the details was that I couldn't take the whole roller-coaster of emotions. The headlines alone took me – and the rest of the world – from fear, to disbelief, to worry, to sadness, then doubt, and ultimately – thankfully – to relief.
Whenever I did reflect on the story, my thoughts were very much about what the boys' parents must be going through. As the days elapsed before the divers found them, I wondered how the families could have maintained hope in what seemed a hopeless situation. Then, I imagine the news that they'd been found must have seemed like a miracle. But, before the families could relax in the knowledge that their prayers had been answered, there came news of the rising water, the depleting oxygen level, and the coming worse weather.
As the news emerged about how treacherous the route into the cave was, I was struck by the bravery and selflessness of those involved in the rescue effort. And, on news of the death of the diver, my thoughts shifted to his family and how devastated they must feel.
I also began thinking more about the boys' feelings. I wondered whether they knew that someone died trying to help them. Frankly, I hoped that the boys weren't told at the time because the news made clear the difficulty of the situation and the danger. Nonetheless, I couldn't help think that if they got out, survivor guilt may haunt them for the rest of their lives.
The story also made me think about how quickly an innocent decision can turn into a nightmare. Indeed, it brought to mind a cave adventure friends and I set out on years ago. We were staying at a lodge along a river in southern Belize. It had rained quite heavily the first couple days we were. As parts of the path between our huts submerged, we were reminded that it was hurricane season. Even so, we were surprised at how quickly the river rose around us. But, there was nothing we could do, and the locals seemed unfazed.
One of the excursions we had been interested in going on was cave swimming. I had a bit of trepidation about it, as I worried about bats. I think my friends had some fear too about possible claustrophobia. But, we all decided to conquer our fears and we signed up for it.
To get to the cave we took a boat and then had a slippery, miserable half-mile-or-so walk. When we got near the cave, we were told to wait while our guides went ahead to check the cave opening. When they returned they said the water was too high to go in.
On our way back to the lodge, the guides told us this was the first time they had ever decided against going in. They said we could try again in a few days, but we decided not to. Now, when I think about it, I realize how lucky we were to have experienced guides. It never occurred to me that if we had gotten in, the water could continue to rise. Clearly that young Thai coach and those boys never thought about that possibility either.
After the rescue of the soccer team, I went back and read some of the news stories I had purposely avoided. I was struck by how sweet the notes were that the boys wrote their families. They seemed to go out of their way to reassure everyone that they were alright. I couldn't help wonder whether notes written by a bunch of North American teens trapped for so long without the basic necessities (not to mention connectivity) would be so pleasant.
One detail in particular got me thinking about how the boys coped during the 10 days before they were found. Apparently the coach, a former Buddhist monk, had taught them how to meditate. That struck me as a truly inspired idea, and – again – one I think few of us from North America would even think of.

Le mouvement Baodiao (), mouvement de défense des Diaoyu en français, est un mouvement populaire d'inspiration nationaliste, lancé en réponse à la question de la souveraineté sur les îles Diaoyutai par les habitants de Hong Kong, Taiwan et de la République populaire de Chine depuis le début des années 1970. Il est piloté par la Fédération chinoise de défense des îles Diaoyu. Ce mouvement s'est progressivement étendu l'ensemble de la diaspora chinoise.

Situation et contexte géopolitique des îles Diaoyutai

Les îles  en japonais, Diaoyutai () en chinois, se situent au nord-est de Taïwan et au sud-ouest d'Okinawa Hontō en mer de Chine orientale. Administrativement, elles dépendent de la ville d'Ishigaki sur l'île éponyme de la préfecture d'Okinawa (Japon). Géographiquement, elles font partie de l'archipel Sakishima, avec les îles Yaeyama et les Miyako (plus au sud), et donc des îles Ryūkyū.

Ces îles sont revendiquées depuis la fin des années 1960 par la République de Chine (Taïwan) qui les rattache à la ville de Toucheng dans le comté de Yilan, comme par la République populaire de Chine qui les rattache à la province de Taïwan. Un moment mis entre parenthèses entre 1978 et 1996 à la suite de la signature d'un accord diplomatique sino-japonais, le conflit est relancé lorsque des nationalistes japonais, , un mouvement rattaché au principal groupe Yakuza, , construisent un phare sur l'ilot nord des Senkaku.

Actions

 En 2004, des activistes chinois du mouvement débarquent sur les îles et sont arrêtés ; deux jours plus tard, le premier ministre japonais Jun'ichirō Koizumi demande leur renvoi en Chine.
 En , le Japon dénonce la tentative de débarquement de militants nationalistes chinois du mouvement Baodiao.
 Le , un bateau de pêche taïwanais affecté par les activistes du mouvement et un bateau de la garde côtière du Japon entrent en collision. Le ministère des Affaires étrangères taïwanais rappelle à Taipei son représentant à Tokyo, et demande des excuses et une compensation de la part du Japon. Quelques jours plus tard, un bateau de nationalistes escorté par neuf patrouilleurs militaires taïwanais vient tourner autour d'Uotsuri-jima, avant de retourner à Taïwan ; le Japon appelle alors à .
 Le , 81 chalutiers taïwanais accompagnés d'une dizaine de patrouilleurs des garde-côtes taïwanais se trouvaient au large des îles Senkaku/Diaoyutai, défendant la souveraineté de la République de Chine (Taïwan) sur ces îles ainsi les droits de pêche de Taiwan dans la zone . Les banderoles du mouvement Baodiao sont déployées sur les chalutiers. S'ensuivit un accrochage avec les garde-côtes japonais, qui ont fait usage de canons à eau . Le président de la République de Chine (Taïwan) Ma Ying-jeou a apporté un soutien sans réserve à cette action, ont indiqué ses services dans un communiqué.

The Challenge of Affordable Housing in the Hudson Valley
Three recent reports show that home values are on the rise, and the affordability gap is growing wider.
Elissaveta M. Brandon
2:00 PM EST on Nov 19, 2020
The former Luckey Platt department store, which is slated to be transformed into luxury apartments.
City of Poughkeepsie
In February of this year, a group of investors purchased the Luckey Platt Building in downtown Poughkeepsie. Once a thriving department store, the 1920s Classical Revival structure had lain vacant for a quarter of a century before it was converted into a mixed-use complex with 143 apartments in 2008. Today, the building is getting yet another lease on life as the investors, known as Luckey Platt Owners LLC, set out to renovate its units into luxury apartments aimed at attracting young professionals. For the building's longtime residents, many of whom are people are color, this means unaffordable rents and impending evictions.
The Lucky Platt Building is not an isolated case. Looking to capitalize on the growing interest from New York City, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic, developers are raising rents—and pricing out longtime residents. In cities like Poughkeepsie, where 98 percent of the apartments were occupied last year, residents are left with very few affordable alternatives.
This pattern repeats itself throughout the Hudson Valley. As evidenced by three separate reports released this summer, home values throughout the Hudson Valley are on the rise, the number of households with financial struggles is increasing, and the affordability gap is growing wider. The Hudson Valley is going through an affordable housing crisis, and the problem isn't new.
"We had an affordable housing crisis before the pandemic," says Jonathan Drapkin, president and CEO of Pattern for Progress, a Newburgh-based research and public policy nonprofit that released The Hudson Valley Regional Housing Market Report this summer. A product of Pattern for Progress's Center for Housing Solutions and Community Initiatives, the report spans the past four years and focuses on single-family condos and town homes on the sales market. It suggests that the majority of the Hudson Valley region is now in a strong seller's market, where lower inventory and high demand create a strong upward pricing pressure, which leads to increased home values.
Inventory is a critical indicator for the housing market. The real estate industry considers six months of inventory a balanced supply. Less than that is considered a seller's market; more than six months is a buyer's market. At the end of the second quarter in 2020, the majority of the Hudson Valley region had less than six months of inventory available for potential buyers.
Source: Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress
The report suggests that this decline in housing supply isn't an entirely new phenomenon. In 2017, which is as far back as the report goes, there were 16,360 available homes in the Hudson Valley. This year, the number has fallen to 11,532, a decline of nearly 30 percent. According to Joseph Czajka, a housing expert and senior vice president at Pattern for Progress, one of the main drivers for a lack of affordable housing in Hudson Valley lies right here in the supply issue. "Not enough is being built at the price point workers can afford," he says. This mismatch is exacerbated by construction costs, which were already on the rise before the pandemic landed a blow to the supply chain.
The Dreaded "G" Word
For 36 years, affordable housing provider RUPCO has been providing quality, affordable housing and community developments programs across the Hudson Valley. Today, RUPCO owns or manages 22 buildings across the region and 586 units of affordable housing, with more than 120 units in construction and several hundred in the pipeline. "This is the second time in the past two decades where we're seeing development pressure and the cost of housing rise significantly because of demand," says Guy Kempe, the agency's vice president of community development. The first wave was the New Yorkers who moved to the Hudson Valley in the aftermath of 9/11. The pandemic, he says, has brought a second wave of demand, and "it's causing our communities to become a tad frayed."
Since the start of the pandemic, cities like Kingston have found themselves on the receiving end of a pandemic-fueled exodus from New York City, but already, the city's housing supply was low. Kempe cites E&M Properties, the real estate investment and management company that purchased several multifamily projects in and around Kingston last year, cut services, raised rents, refused to renew leases, and started eviction proceeding against tenants. "The housing supply that we counted on, which was casually part of the affordable housing supply, is disappearing," he says.
Across the region, affordable housing complexes all have waiting lists ranging from two years to as long as five years. Data from the National Low-Income Housing Coalition's "Out of Reach" report, which was released in July 2020, shows that renters' wage rates are not keeping up with housing costs, and that the production of affordable rental housing has not kept up with the demand.
Mandatory inclusionary zoning rules could help meet that demand, and prevent investors like Luckey Platt Owners LLC from pricing out longtime residents by providing affordable housing options in the building's redevelopment. When new residences are built, inclusionary zoning requires private developers to provide a certain percentage of units in a given project for less than their market value.
Inclusionary zoning already exists in Beacon (344 Main St) and New Rochelle (The Hammel Building), but as demand outweighs supply, anti-poverty advocates believe that the policy is an incomplete, temporary fix that doesn't address the needs of low-income communities. For example, if a community needs 500 affordable rentals and 10 percent of units are set aside as affordable, then that community—and the developers involved—must up the minimum percentage of affordable units, or allow for 5,000 new units. "Not likely to happen," says Czajka from Pattern for Progress. Instead, zoning changes could allow for smaller lots and smaller homes. Czajka also proposes taxed phase-ins for first-time homebuyers, who would see their taxes raised over a period of five or 10 years.
Another idea would be to design developments with a mix of income levels ranging from households earning 50-60 percent of area median income (AMI) to over 120 percent. "This would mitigate the concentration of poverty and warehousing of low-income families," says Czajka. On Main Street in Poughkeepsie, for example, the Queen City Lofts—a mixed-use, mixed-income and artist housing development—offers 50 affordable artist lofts and 20 middle-income lofts coupled with amenities that include a boutique fitness gym and rooftop restaurant. A similar development on Main Street in Beacon, the West End Lofts, provides 50 affordable artist lofts, 21 middle-income units, and 25 market-rate units.
Such developments want to spur revitalization by drawing more painters, musicians, poets, and other income-eligible artists to build the "creative city" proffered by American urbanist Richard Florida. But as a result, cities like Beacon, Hudson, and Kingston are faced with housing shortages, polarized prosperity, and gentrification.
"Gentrification is not new to the Hudson Valley," says Kempe. "In fact, gentrification here has taken place in ways that relate back to colonial era and the displacement of indigenous people who lived in the Hudson Valley, and to urban renewal sponsored by the government." Kempe is referring to President Johnson's Great Society programs in the 1960s, which he says created islands and large pockets of poverty. Today, he says, displacement is mostly caused by market forces like supply and demand.
"Municipal governments are challenged to address this, and there are some strategies available to them," he adds. For example, municipalities can continue what cities like Kingston, Newburgh, and, as of September, Poughkeepsie, have already started doing: Establish a local land bank that would acquire, rehabilitate, and resell bank-owned and municipal-owned property by converting abandoned and vacant properties into affordable housing.
As Czajka suggests, other solutions also involve accessory dwelling units for seniors wanting to downsize and college grads starting out (this would give the owner a revenue stream), or even continuing to repurpose existing buildings for housing, like RUPCO's Landmark Place currently under construction in Kingston, which repurposes the Kingston City Almshouse to create 66 affordable rental housing units for seniors.
Housing Is a Right, Not a Criteria
By definition, housing is considered affordable when it doesn't consume more than 30 percent of a household's income. But the number of people who meet the income eligibility criteria generally exceeds the number of units available. And for every low-income family that qualifies, there is a family that doesn't but still needs the support. This is where the ALICE project comes in.
In 2019, the federal poverty threshold was at $13,000 a year for one person, and just over $26,000 for a family of four. This means that while 8 million Americans have slipped below the poverty level since the pandemic, millions more live just above that line, still facing significant hardship. ALICE, which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, strives to quantify and describe those households that are not typically captured by traditional measures of poverty.
An initiative of the nonprofit organization United Way, the ALICE Project report from August 2020 shows that the percentage of households in the Hudson Valley below the ALICE threshold (in New York State, that's an annual income of $78,156 for a household of four) has increased from 35 percent in 2010 to 39 percent in 2018. Within the Hudson Valley, Greene County experienced the largest increase, jumping from 42 percent in 2010 to half its population in 2018.
In all nine counties of the Hudson Valley, childcare appears as the highest cost for households with two children: the highest being in Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester, where the monthly childcare budget ranges between $2,500 and $3,000. And since the region's population is already aging, a demographic shift that sees families delaying or forgoing having children due to childcare costs may have significant economic and social implications.
Families under the ALICE threshold are particularly vulnerable to financial stressors like unexpected expenses, a job loss, or COVID-19. "ALICE households include our Essential Workers, the people who fix our cars, check us through the grocery store register, repair our roads, and take care of us when we are sick," the report says. "We count on these people every day."
To help curb displacement, Kempe thinks that economic and commercial development can borrow a line from shovel-ready projects—a term popularized by Barack Obama in late 2008 to describe sites that have infrastructure in place such that with sufficient funding, construction could be begin within a very short time. Kempe says the idea usually relates to systems like wastewater treatment or stormwater conveyance, but if applied to affordable housing, it could help provide more of it, and faster. "I don't know any community that's taken that progressive a view," he says. "It could work in every city in the Valley right now."

Mining overview
Mining leases and regulation
A mining lease gives the holder the exclusive right to mine for minerals over a specific area of land.
In New South Wales, mining leases are granted under the provisions of the Mining Act 1992.
To be granted a mining lease, applicants must demonstrate that:
there is an economically mineable mineral deposit within the area of the proposed lease, and
they have the financial and technical resources to carry out mining in a responsible manner.
A development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) must also be in place before a mining lease can be granted.
All new mines are subject to rigorous assessment and approval processes under the EP&A Act.
All new coal mines, mineral sand mines, other large mines and any mines in environmentally sensitive areas of State significance are classified as State Significant Development under the EP&A Act.
Regulation of mining
Assessment process for new mines and modifications to existing projects
Mining activities are tightly controlled in NSW, with a range of authorisations required prior to the commencement of operations.
The mining lease, together with other statutory approvals, such as environment protection licences under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 and planning approvals under the EP&A Act, regulate the impact of mining on the environment.
The EP&A Act establishes the development assessment and approval framework for exploration and mining activities.
All new mining projects, and modifications to existing projects, require approval under the EP&A Act before they can commence. As part of this approval process, the proponent must prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. The Environmental Impact Statement is a comprehensive document that covers issues such as air quality, noise, transport, flora and fauna, surface and ground water management, methods of mining, landscape management and rehabilitation. Extensive public consultation is also required, with community members encouraged to make submissions on the application.
NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (the Department) is one of a number of key government agencies who are consulted as part of the approvals process for new coal and mineral developments. We are responsible for commenting on rehabilitation, safety, resource-utilisation and relevant environmental management matters.
The comprehensive merit-based assessment process considers a broad range of environmental issues including water, aquifers, alternative uses of the land and whether the proposed development is in the best interests of the State. The ecological sustainability of the development, including inter-generational equity and environmental, social and economic factors is also considered.
If a project is approved, conditions on approvals are imposed to minimise potential environmental impacts. Furthermore, rehabilitation and environmental performance conditions are also attached to all authorities (exploration and mining) issued under the Mining Act 1992.
The NSW Government is committed to ensuring that all mining operations meet strict contemporary standards for environmental management.
The Resources Regulator is uniquely placed within the Department to assist in the advancement of environmental management in exploration and mining.
The Resources Regulator encourages the adoption of best practice in mining and a key responsibility includes regulating the industry to ensure compliance with the Mining Act 1992 and associated Mining Regulation 2016.This includes:
reviewing environmental impact assessments for proposed exploration and mining activities;
promoting compliance through site inspections, audits (both mandatory and voluntary) and regular reporting;
regulating rehabilitation and supervising mine closures;
investigating complaints and incidents;
taking appropriate enforcement action for non-compliance;
coordinating with other relevant government departments and agencies to respond to non-compliances; and
reviewing environmental performance prior to the granting of an authorisation.
The Resources Regulator also promotes effective stakeholder liaison and facilitate communication between government, the mining industry and the community.
Improving the safety and health performance of the NSW mining industry is a priority for the NSW Government.
The role of the Mine Safety Board (MSB) is to provide the framework and direction for industry to manage risks through consultation and safe systems. MSB works closely with employers, employees and their representatives, other government agencies and the community to promote best practice in the area of mine safety.
Through the assessment of appropriate safety systems, processes and standards, MSB enforces efficient and effective implementation, encouraging those who exceed minimum standards and holding accountable those who do not. MSB aims to significantly improve the safety performance and culture of the industry though communication strategies and reporting performance outcomes .
MSB has a strategic approach to achieve the Government's aim of zero fatalities in the mining industry. Over time, MSB has had success with this goal and played a key role in the reduction of fatalities and serious bodily injuries in the mining industry.
The Mine Safety Investigation Unit may be called upon to investigate serious incidents or reported breaches of the legislation if they occur. Such an investigation aims to discover the underlying causes and system failures that can lead to a serious workplace incident, and generally results in a detailed report being prepared and published with a view to improving the safety knowledge base of the industry. The Enforcement Policy is also applied in respect of investigation findings.
Work is currently underway to finalise the implementation of new mine safety legislation in line with the national harmonisation of WHS legislation.
It is our responsibility to ensure that land disturbed by mining operations is returned to a sustainable post-mining land use.
Mining affected land can be rehabilitated to a variety of land uses including cropping and agriculture, native ecosystems, forestry, industry, heritage sites, residential developments and mixed land uses.
The Government has clear requirements for rehabilitation in NSW.
Under the Mining Act 1992, we have a wide range of powers for regulating rehabilitation including:
environmental management and rehabilitation conditions on mining titles;
rehabilitation security bonds for all mining and exploration titles; and
clear enforcement powers to ensure titleholders comply with their obligations.
Titleholders must also submit and comply with an approved Mine Operations Plan (including a rehabilitation plan), which is used for detailed rehabilitation planning and for monitoring rehabilitation progress and success. They are also required to submit security bonds for exploration, petroleum and mining titles, which cover the full cost of rehabilitation in the event of default by the titleholder.
Rehabilitation must be undertaken progressively over the life of the mine.
We have responsibility for determining when rehabilitation has met the required standard, taking into account post mining land use, prior to title relinquishment and security deposit release.
We will continue to collaborate with industry and the community to achieve positive rehabilitation outcomes and a sustainable mining industry.

On the other side, Indians consume less protein. We should know that protein helps in stabilizing your blood sugar level. Protein blunts insulin secretion in the body. Lesser insulin levels mean higher the chances of better regulating your blood sugar.
Moreover, protein consumption helps in fat loss and in the growth of skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle helps in stabilizing blood sugar. Blood glucose (glycogen) use by skeletal muscle is increased because of its contractile ability. When protein consumption is coupled with exercise the advantages are twofold— muscle building and better regulation of blood sugar levels.
Eat protein, reduce carbohydrate intake, and build muscle by exercising—threat of diabetes is thwarted. Since diabetes has become the bane of our lifestyle, the regulation of blood sugar is paramount. You deserve a life of good health and wellbeing. "Everyday people settle for less than they deserve. They are only partially living or at the best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness." Bo Benett. The greatness to achieve here is a life that is not jeopardized by diabetes; thereby enabling us to lead a life of vibrant health. Be great: integrate.
Thanks Suhasini. I value your comments.
I showed keen interest on reading the write-up on 'Diabetes' as my father is a patient of thins silent killer disease!
Just curious, do you have any diabetics ( long term) currently working out under you?
Mangala, I will be precise. Three people who were borderline diabetics are free of medication. In fact, one of them was a diabetic who had urine sugar. Fortunate that he is out of all the toxic medication.
Two more people frequent the gym who are diabetics from a long time. All I can say is that one, 52 years old, who is on medication, says that blood sugar levels have come down. Besides, he has lost a few inches around his flabby midriff and has gained skeletal muscle in the upper body.
Great! always believed in the benefits of strength training but was a little curious about the effect of a high protein diet on a long term diabetic (10+ years) who has neglected his blood glucose values. Glad to hear the results though. Thanks for the info.
Mangala, I haven't trained anyone who is a long term diabetic. That aside, I will surely consider what you have said.


What do I see when I toggle between the the Bio or MS views?
Clicking on the Bio or MS buttons will display information about the Biological sample or individual MS samples loaded into Scaffold. For example, if you loaded data for four MS samples into two biosamples in Scaffold and clicked on the Bio button, Scaffold would display information in two columns (one for each biosample). However, if you clicked on the MS button Scaffold would display information in four columns for each biosample (one for each MS sample).
Why can't I see some of the views?
You can modify the views displayed in the Edit>Preferences menu. In the Display Settings tab users can select what views to display as well as the default Display Option for new files in the Samples view. Note: Mac users will have to click on the more button to see Display Settings option. Check the boxes for the views that you wish to see and click Apply.
What information is contained in the Statistics view?
The Statistics view in Scaffold provides valuable insight into the statistical analysis behind Scaffold's protein predictions. Here you can view four windows, each telling you about a different aspect of Scaffold's analysis.
The Protein Probability Calculation in the upper right hand corner of the Statistics view allows you to see the relationship between the numbers of peptides identified, their identification probability, and the resulting protein probability. This gives you representation of the relationship between Peptide Prophet's peptide prediction algorithm and Protein Prophet's protein prediction algorithm. The ROC plot compares the number of identified spectra to the peptide false positive rate and points on the curve are labeled with corresponding probabilities.
The Histogram in the lower right hand corner of the screen displays the results of Scaffold's Peptide Prophet assignments in a color-coded histogram. The bars in the histogram represent the number of spectra assigned to a particular discriminant score. The colors represent correct, incorrect or decoy assignments. Red indicates Scaffold determined this to be a correct assignment while blue indicates an incorrect assignment. The peptides determined to be decoys are colored green.
The Scatterplot in the lower left hand corner of the screen will be displayed if you used two or more search engines on your data (for example; Mascot and X! Tandem). The Scatterplot represents the correlation between the search engines' results. If the dots fall along a relatively straight line, then there is "good" correlation. If Scaffold's Protein Prophet algorithm assigned the spectra to a protein then the dot will be red, but if Scaffold did not assign the spectra to a protein then the dot will be blue.
In the upper left hand corner of the screen is the MS sample selection screen. Here you can select an MS sample to display its statistical parameters in the other three windows.
How do I interpret what the Protein Probability Calculation chart is saying?
The protein probability calculation chart shows that increasing the minimum number of peptides increases the protein probability for a given peptide probability. In other words, the more peptides you have, the more confident in your protein probability you can be. Usually, this chart will tell you that even at a high peptide probability, using one peptide to ID a protein will only allow for a relatively low protein probability, indicating that one hit wonders are not advised.
What is the Peptide Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) Plot? How do I interpret it?
The peptide ROC Plot compares the number of identified spectra for a single protein at each protein probability to a peptide false positive rate. Basically it tells you how many peptides are falsely assigned correct at each probability per identified spectra.
What are the Quantitative Scatterplots? How are Q-Q and Mean-Deviation Scatterplots different?
Q-Q Scatterplot shows differentiation between groups (or, in Scaffold, categories). You can choose to compare any two categories. When a point is found far off the 45 degree line, this indicates the proteins are in different amounts in each category. The dotted lines refer to 2 standard deviations from the median. Whereas, the Mean/Deviation Scatterplot simply plots the coefficient of variance (CV) which is the standard deviation divided by the mean.
Why are spectra missing from the Proteins view?
If you see that spectra are missing from the Proteins view it is likely that the search engine files were loaded without their accompanying peak list files. When loading results from most search engines (Mascot, and various search engines that produce MZID Scaffold needs access to the MGF files in order to display spectral information.
Why is Scaffold displaying protein identifications below the protein threshold value set?
If Scaffold identifies a protein in a biosample at or above the set protein threshold and the same protein with a lower probability in another biosample the Samples view will only display the high confidence protein by default. However activating the View>Show Lower Scoring Matches option will display the low confidence proteins in other biosamples. Additionally activating the View>Show Less Than 5% Probabilities will display those proteins assigned a probability of 5%.
Why aren't identical peptides shown together in the Peptide Spectrum Match (PSM) table?
This can occur if you sorted the PSM table by some variable other than peptide sequence e.g. Mascot score. To place identical peptides next to each other simply click at the top of the peptide sequence column header, and Scaffold will sort peptides according to sequence placing identical peptides next to each other.
What does the Display Options dropdown change?
The Display Options changes which protein information is displayed in the Samples view for each protein identified. Options include but are not limited to Protein Identification Probability, Total Spectrum Count, Percent Coverage, and Quantitative Value.
What settings are located in Scaffold's Preferences dialog?
The Preferences dialog gives you access to numerous settings and is accessible through Edit>Preferences. There are nine different tabs in the Preferences dialog and each of them allows you to modify Scaffold parameters to optimize or customize performance on your computer.
How do I get Scaffold to show only " Good" proteins and peptides?
It is important to note that there is no such thing as a "good" protein or peptide. Analysis software such as Scaffold gives you a probability that a protein is present in your sample. This probability is based on the confidence of the peptides associated with that protein. You have various options for increasing the stringency of your analysis in Scaffold. This will not mean that all of your proteins are "good", but you can have more confidence in your protein identifications because they were obtained with higher probability thresholds.
The primary way of increasing the stringency of your analysis is to adjust the Protein Threshold, Min # Peptides, and Peptide Threshold parameters. The higher these values are the more strict your analysis will become. You can adjust these options to higher or lower values by clicking on them and choosing a value from the drop down menu.
What do the boxes Min Protein, Min # Peptides, and Min Peptide do?
The Protein Threshold, Min # Peptides, and Peptide Threshold boxes in the Samples view are dropdown menus where you can adjust filters for viewing your data.
If you click on the Protein Threshold box you will be able to choose various minimum protein probabilities. If you are only interested in proteins whose identification is 99%, then you can adjust the Protein Threshold option to 99%. This means that Scaffold will only display those proteins its statistical analysis has indicated have a 99% probability of being present in your sample.
The Min # Peptides box allows you to choose between one and five peptides. This number is the minimum number of peptides Scaffold will use to determine if a protein is present. If you set this number to three, then Scaffold will only show you those proteins for which it identified three separate peptides.
The Peptide Threshold box allows you to choose the minimum probability that Scaffold will use in determining whether or not a spectra actually identifies a peptide. If you raise this value to 90% or 95% then only those peptides which have a greater than 0.9 or 0.95 probability will be displayed. If you set strict peptide parameters then you will generate fewer protein predictions because proteins are predicted based on peptide presence.
What does Custom... on the Min Peptide filter do?
The Custom… option on the Peptide filter provides a way for users to set custom peptide filter parameters. If you click on the custom option the Edit Peptide Thresholds dialog will display. Choose New Threshold... to open the Configure Peptide Thresholds dialog. Here you can set parameters to meet your specific needs.
In the Configure Peptide Thresholds page you can specify the general minimum thresholds such as Peptide Probability, Accept Charge, and Minimum # Enzymatic Termini (NTT) value. To set minimum peptide parameters for various other search engines such as SEQUEST or Mascot you need to click the Use Individual Program Thresholds circle.
If you wanted to include only those peptides that had a SEQUEST Xcorr value of three or better in your analysis you could set min SEQUEST XCorr to three and Scaffold would only look at peptides with a minimum SEQUEST score of three.
How can I filter my peptides using my SEQUEST criteria?
You can choose to filter your peptides using SEQUEST criteria (e.g. minimum XCorr value) by setting a Custom peptide threshold using the Peptide Threshold dropdown option in the View page. When you click on the Custom option, a pop up window entitled Edit Peptide Thresholds will appear.
Choose to add a new threshold and a pop up window entitled Configure Peptide Thresholds will appear. Here you can choose the minimum requirements for a peptide to be included in Scaffold's analysis. Mark the Use Individual Program Thresholds box and pick the specific SEQUEST (or Mascot, or X! Tandem) values you wish to use as your minimum peptide requirements. When you are done make sure to choose the new threshold in the Peptide Threshold dropdown.
What is Protein Grouping Ambiguity, e.g. Similar Proteins?
The similar proteins listed by Scaffold are proteins that Scaffold cannot differentiate based on the information provided: Protein Grouping Ambiguity. For example, if there are two peptides that each have a sequence found in two different proteins, and there is no other evidence to suggest which of the proteins are present in your sample, then Scaffold will show one of the proteins and list the other as a similar protein. In Scaffold 4, the grouping changed and can be reviewed here.
Scaffold reports proteins as similar proteins because there is no way to tell which protein is present based on the evidence. However, if your sample contains Human myoglobin, and Scaffold is showing mouse myoglobin in the samples view (with human myoglobin listed as a similar protein), you can change which of the of the similar proteins is shown in the Samples view to match known information about the sample. You can also change which of the similar proteins are listed in the Samples view by changing the preferred accession number in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
In this situation peptide 1 could go to protein A, B, or C. Peptide 2 could go to protein A or B, and peptide 3 could go to protein B or C. Proteins A and C contain a subset of the peptides present in protein B and are said to be subsummable. They will not be reported in Scaffold. In this example Scaffold would only report protein B, proteins A and C will not be listed as similar proteins. Scaffold only reports peptide B because it is the most parsimonious choice (simplest explanation of the data).
How can I manually validate the peptide or spectra matches?
Manual validation of spectra can be done using Scaffold. However, because of the large number of spectra loaded in a typical Scaffold analysis manual validation should not be undertaken unless there is a reason to suspect the protein predictions.
Because there are many options when manually validating the data behind a protein or peptide prediction it is important to determine the level of detail you wish to investigate before beginning validation.
The first thing that you can look at when manually validating your spectra is the percent coverage of your protein. This is available in the in the upper left-hand quadrant of the Proteins view. If the sequence coverage is similar between multiple samples the protein has good evidence, if the sequence coverage is not similar between multiple samples you should investigate further. You can also mouse over the protein sequence and see the number of peptides matching a covered location (covered locations are indicated in yellow). A variety of different peptides matching your sequence is good evidence for the protein.
The second thing you should look at is the individual peptide associated spectra. Here you can see the amino acid associated spectral peaks. If the peaks seem to line up with the amino acid assignments, high intensity peaks are labeled, and there is good signal to noise ratio, the spectrum has good quality and peptide prediction based on that spectrum probably has good quality also.
If you wish to delve deeper into your protein spectra assignments you have a couple of choices. You can look at the Fragmentation table. Here you are looking for ladders of ion peaks (i.e. a number of ions with a particular mass loss in sequence). A nicely laddered fragmentation table like the one below increases your confidence in the peptide probability.
Another piece of data you can use to manually validate your data is the Spectrum/Model Error. If the Spectrum/Model Error displays small errors with similar delta AMU and they are in the same orientation (either positive errors, or negative errors, see below) then the peptide spectrum has good quality. If the Spectrum/Model Error rate is consistently off it suggests the MS machine is mis-calibrated.
However, if the Spectrum/Model Error has error rates with highly variable delta AMU values, and error rates "flip-flop" in orientation, your confidence in that peptide assignment could be decreased.
Where do I specify the taxonomy of my sample?
When GO annotations are applied using either the NCBI or a UniProt GOA file, Scaffold displays a Taxonomy column in the Samples view if an annotation is present. Once the taxonomies are applied Scaffold has the ability to filter based on taxonomy using the Advanced Filter function (the magnifying glass icon).
What kind of accession number is "(2 similar)"?
(2 similar) is not an accession number. However, you may see this if your database is not parsing correctly. A quick check of your parsing parameters can be done by going to the Edit option of the protein dropdown menu and choose Edit FASTA Databases option.
Pick the database you are using from the list and then click on the Edit button at the bottom of the page. A popup window will show the way that this database is being parsed. If the accession numbers do not make sense [e.g. they are called (2 similar)], then you can choose different parsing parameters from the drop-down list of options in the lower left hand corner of the window.
Pick those parsing parameters that place the accession numbers and protein names in the correct columns, and then choose Apply. Your Scaffold search should now display the protein accession numbers correctly.
