Q: What exactly build architecture, valid build architecture means? Can somebody explain me the exact significance of the following fields (in image) in Xcode?

Specifically, what does Build active architecture and its debug and release option means? How should I set them?
Error I get is

A: It gives you the option to only build for the currently active architecture for Debug builds (building less is faster) while still building for all architectures for the Release build.
"Debug" and "Release" are qualifiers for the build process, and you can set up two different values for most build configuration options (for most options, a single setting is fine for both).

Museum of Non Participation

Karen Mirza & Brad Butler
Karen Mirza & Brad Butler_Museum of Non Participation
KAREN MIRZA & BRAD BUTLER, Museum of Non Participation
The Museum of Non Participation is a project of the other places. Karen Mirza and Brad Butler counter the current concept of the museum as a closed container for the conservation of established art with the original Greek notion of the museum as the vital 'place of the muses' – which premises an essentially imaginary calibre. The museum by today's definition is a site of exclusionary practice: it is accessible as a platform to very few artists respectively artworks and – in global terms – to a very limited number of visitors. Contemporary art is excluded on two counts: neither museums (unlike the muses) nor the public are partial to it.
Karen Mirza and Brad Butler are from the UK, a country full of museums that are in turn full of de-contextualized cultural artefacts. They travel a great deal, as almost all grants for artists today are bound to a particular location – a point reflected also in the .move title. They thus found themselves once in Pakistan's capital, Karachi, a city with practically no museums, a city where contemporary art is barely present. In this post-colonial situation they developed the concept of another museum, a museum as an act of intervention, a museum as a locus of dialogue.
The Museum of Non Participation is bound neither to a place nor a medium; nor is it established, who is the artist and who the recipient. The classical path of the western ego – here the artistic genius and his work, there the public, between them the museum, as a mediating instance – is to be diverted by a more collective, more discursive form of participation. In consequence, workshops, public talks, city tours and readings were instigated in collaboration with local artists, authors and activists. Communicating by means of murals, which is common in Pakistan, was adopted in order to anchor the project in public space.
Therefore, when Brad Butler, Karen Mirza and activist Raymon Abdullah together execute a public mural in Karachi – in this case, the Museum of Non Participation – it exists as such, even if nothing more takes place at the site. The Museum of Non Participation is a museal assertion. The paradox of a title that actually describes the case of a normal museum in which neither artists nor the public participate is an ironic challenge, and points to the imaginary nature of the project. It really is a non-museum.
In The Exception and the Rule (Pakistan/UK 2009, 37 min.), a film shot in Karachi as part of the Museum of Non Participation project, the aforementioned challenges crop up again in a similar style, which references problematic aspects of the ethnographic documentary film. How might one make a film about a foreign culture and thereby get away from ones own inscribed images of that culture? Furthermore, is it possible to make such a film and thereby include the perspectives of those being filmed? And, finally, which film genre is able to deal with this kind of theoretical issue?
The result is an extremely idiosyncratic hybrid composed of various genres that do notpermeate one another but are presented consecutively, in such a manner as to be cited as methods. Genres such as the classic ethnographic film pop up along with the experimental genres first person documentary, conceptual film and the fake.
The Exception and the Rule opens with images of homeless people in London, shot in the style of a news broadcast. In the context of a film about Pakistan, this references the scenes of misery typical of news reports on the Third World, which allow one to forget all too easily that blatant poverty is equally at home in the rich West.
The title 'film is only comfortable with otherness as long as it's not really other' draws a line between the folkloristic Other whose existence is reduced to a pretty picture and the real Other, Islamic fundamentalism for example, that aggressively and successfully represents a completely other world order, in which not only the maker and viewer of this film would have no place but the artistic medium film itself.
Documentary images of Pakistan are merged with newspaper clippings in long double exposures, which on the one hand references script as a defining form of cultural expression in Islam and, on the other, how the media represent and thereby simultaneously inscribe a culture.
The filmmakers asked musician Nigel Colasco to describe for the camera what he could see behind the camera. Thus the image – that one initially might presume is part of a typical street interview – becomes a refraction of the medial gaze in several respects. The viewer is told about what s/he cannot see, not through the eyes of the foreigner but through those of a native – who, contrary to the original conceptual guidelines, goes beyond a mere description of what he can see and begins to interpret it.
In another sequence, the result of a workshop, artist Adeela Suleman reperforms the conceptual film 30 Sound Situations (dir. Ryszard Wasko, Poland, 1975), by banging together two wooden sticks in public space. Wasko's ironic medial refraction (which was to take a technically superfluous part of the film as the theme of his work) here becomes a radical intervention in society: Adeela Suleman exposes herself in public, her hair loose and uncovered.
Mirza and Butler not only cite Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène's criticism of the doyen of ethnographic film, Jean Rouch – 'you observe us like insects' – but also the language of the classic documentary film with its black and white, seemingly authentic images: only then to break the latter with garish, artificial-looking colour stills depicting the same motifs.
The rapid succession of images of political demonstrations appear simple to read – one is familiar with images of the angry Islamic mob – until strange signs suddenly pop up among the crowd: 'BE.INDIAN/BUY.INDIAN/GOODS.ONLY'. The enmity of the 'good' democracy India towards the 'bad' dictatorship Pakistan informs the medial perspective on the country.
A documentary-style sequence of beautiful and rare images of Karachi is – like the classical travelogue film – accompanied by a voiceover that in this case is not translated however. The viewer is thus left alone with his lack of knowledge of Urdu and the images.
If the Museum of Non Participation is a non-museum, The Exception and the Rule is a non-documentary film. One learns as little about a foreign culture via the media as one learns about the vital artistic moment (symbolized in myth by the muses) via a museum. The film entwines images of the Other in a complex interweave of medial references and formal refractions; it insists on the moment of non-communicable experience – and thus exacts from the viewer the direct, 'uncomfortable' encounter with the real Other.
Karen Mirza & Brad Butler define their contribution to .move as part of the Museum of Non Participation:
'The residency in Halle culminates in the form of a site specific performance in the Intecta building, a former department store from the early 20th century. This performance looks at both the social history of the space and the performativity of the architecture. In Halle we have sought to research and interrogate place, history and the imaginary future. As part of our collective and discursive procedural approach we take different attitudes and positions towards agency, social understanding and political action. Our process of inviting participants into the research took the form of a non hierarchical workshop framed around the concept of "reclaiming the city". This took as a starting point our recent film, The Exception and the Rule which has been shot in Karachi, Pakistan, this year.'

Exclusive: Elizabeth Hurley breaks her silence on split from fiancé Shane Warne
May 05, 2014 - 10:13 BST hellomagazine.com Elizabeth Hurley has revealed how she "struggled" to come to terms with the end of her three-year relationship with cricketer-turned-commentator Shane Warne
Elizabeth Hurley has revealed how she "struggled" to come to terms with the end of her three-year relationship with cricketer-turned-commentator Shane Warne.
Speaking for the first time since the break-up, Elizabeth opened up exclusively to HELLO! magazine at an interview and photoshoot to launch her new Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection.
"We finally parted ways in November (2013) and it was a very sad time for both of us," she told HELLO! magazine. "I struggled for a while but feel in a very good place today. In fact, both professionally and personally everything is blooming."
Read the full interview with Elizabeth Hurley in HELLO! magazine out now
The 48-year-old actress and designer, who became engaged to the Australian sportsman in October 2011, said she hopes to remain friends with Shane, 44.
"Love isn't a switch that you can turn on or off at will and of course I still love him — we are part of each other's history," she said. The two families are still in touch, she added, revealing that she plans to see Shane's three "beautiful" children — Brooke, 17, Jackson, 15, and Summer, 12 — when they come to England in the summer. Shane was also in contact with her son, 12-year-old Damian.
"We've been putting together Mac photobooks of some of the great holidays we all spent together and have very happy memories," she said.
The future of the 13-bedroom Donnington Hall in Herefordshire that Elizabeth and Shane bought and renovated together was still "up in the air", although she hints that she and Damian may continue to live there.
Elizabeth Hurley and her new love interest David Yarrow
Now dating hedge fund-tycoon-turned wildlife-photographer David Yarrow, Elizabeth described him as "a man of integrity and charm and who, incidentally, cooks roast potatoes to rival those of my father".
Busier than ever on the work front, Elizabeth is preparing to make the first series of new American television show The Royals, in which she plays the Queen of England, and will soon be seen on the big screen in the movie, Viktor, opposite Gerard Depardieu.
She said her latest collection has been designed to make women "feel confident and special on holiday". Elizabeth often ends up wearing an "itsy-bitsy bikini" on her holidays, joking, "Mind you, there's a great deal of self-action tanning going on first and a fair amount of strategic sarong wrapping".

Hilton Milwaukee
When the Hilton Milwaukee City Center Hotel was identified as the "headquarters hotel" for Milwaukee's convention center, the necessary expansion offered the opportunity to bring new attractions downtown. Outside of the conference season, the hotel planners wanted to create a destination that would attract families and tourists in the winter months, as well as on weekends and holidays.
Kahler Slater's challenge: to create a seamless addition to the original historic building, adding 175 guestrooms and suites. The original building used the first five floors for public space and meeting spaces. What to do in the new tower? Create a water park, of course. This novelty brings families to Milwaukee from throughout the Midwest who need an affordable, fun getaway in the dead of winter. And this attraction helps the hotel keep its occupancy and rates up during an otherwise slow time of the year. The transformed experience of the expanded hotel includes improvements for the hotel staff as well. While the new tower was being built, the back-of-house areas in the original building were also remodeled. These improvements include an enlarged employee cafeteria to respond to the general manager's philosophy that a happy, well-fed staff creates happy hotel guests.

An en is a karmic bond lasting a lifetime. Nowadays many people seem to believe their lives are entirely a matter of choice; but in my day we viewed ourselves as pieces of clay that forever show the fingerprints of everyone who has touched them.
Adversity is like a strong wind…[it] tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be.
Friendship is a precious thing…one mustn't throw it away.
John Williams' score for Memoirs of a Geisha is a pretty awesome accompaniment to yoga. The music is relaxing, fluid, soul-stirring and it works well with a restorative, evening class. It reminds me of the book, also a soul-wrenching work. The movie is among my favorites.
Book, score, and dancer in one beautiful work of art.
This is my cat Lelelelelelele Yip!
Last night a crowd of crazy cat ladies (and men) descended upon the Memphis Brooks Museum for the Internet Cat Video Festival.
While a DJ blasted tunes like The Siamese Cat Song and The Meow Mix Song, attendees prowled around the lobby in leopard print skirts and cat ear headbands. We purred happily over sparkly feline baubles as we lapped at our "furballs" – a pink concoction involving rum, coconut milk, cranberry juice, and whip cream.
Then came the main attraction: internet cat videos.
Internet cat video aficionados (Yes, aficionados. I get to use my fancy words because we were at a museum) had already viewed many of these videos at home (or at work). But gathering together to watch these videos in a theatre packed with like-minded individuals lended the whole affair a certain je ne sai quoi in terms of public image. It was validating. High brow even!
It took me back to my belly dancing days on a Costa Rican mountain top when we danced to the beat of thunder pounding on the roof of our pagoda. (That is a true story I have always wanted to tell in an affected British accent at a cocktail party. It would make me sound so much more interesting than I actually am. Sadly, I have never been invited to said cocktail party to tell it. But that's ok because I'm way too busy at home watching fancy internet cat videos to attend your silly cocktail parties anyway.) One day during my Costa Rica adventure, I sat in a room with 60 other belly dancer women and participated in a three minute laughing meditation. If you have never participated in a group laughing meditation, let me tell you, the first time is incredibly weird. You will be instructed to basically fake it 'til you make it. That's right – just fake laugh nonstop with everyone else until the silliness of it all carries you into complete hysterics. It's quite a catharsis really.
At any rate, sitting in the dark laughing for 15 minutes nonstop with crazy cat ladies was just like that but weirder and even more wonderful because there was no fake laughing involved. I watched grown men laugh until they cried over cat antics. And then I laughed until I cried. We all laughed and cried and it was this amazingly beautiful communal experience. It was!
And so I will leave you with a few of my favorite videos from the evening. For best results, make them big screen and gather a few friends (or strangers) to watch. Enjoy!
Yesterday a group of belly dancers represented Memphis in Shimmy Mob, an international flashmob event designed to raise funds for women's and children's shelters in local communities. It was an honor to dance with this group of ladies.
Many thanks to Debra Parmley for organizing the event, to Jasmine of Dance with Jasmine for leading choreography practices, and to the folks at Singleton Community Center and the Buckman Performing and Fine Arts Center for donating practice space!
And of course, a big thank you to the YWCA of Greater Memphis for the work they do in our community.
Thanks also to Liz London of Memphis Raqs who donated the proceeds of her show last night to the shelter.

The Rev. James M. Bimbi, Interim Rector
Click here to read the Rev. James M. Bimbi's article in the December issue of the Delaware Communion magazine.
We welcomed the Rev. James M. Bimbi as our Interim Rector in early 2022.
On Sunday, February 27, 2022, it was announced that the Rev. James M. Bimbi will serve as Interim Rector of the Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew until a new rector could be called. His part-time position with us will be for 22.5 hours per week, and he will participate in ministries and administration.
The Parish Administrator and Director of Music will report to him. The Interim Rector will preach two Sundays per month. The wardens and vestry will continue many administrative and ministry duties and will oversee all transition activities. The Interim Rector will have no role with the Search Committee and other transition matters. His pastoral focus will be assisting SsAM with growth, vitality and ministries. Fr. Jim will be with us into early 2023 as we search for a rector. This arrangement allows others to focus on the search for a full time rector while he gives attention to the other matters. To learn more about the clergy transition process, click here.
About the Rev. James M. Bimbi
Father Jim was the rector of St. James' Mill Creek, Wilmington, for 17 years before retiring from full-time ministry in 2019.
He has served the Episcopal Church in Delaware on the Standing Committee and Diocesan Council, as chairman of the Commission on Ministry, and president of the Disciplinary Board. In addition, he has served as the diocesan liturgical officer for the past ten years. His ministry extends outside of Delaware in his capacity as president of the Board of Directors of the North American Committee for Saint George's College, Jerusalem.
Before coming to Delaware in 2002, Fr. Jim served three congregations in Colorado in diverse areas of the diocese. During his ministry there he also served on the Commission on Ministry, Ecclesiastical Court, Commission on AIDS, and was a part-time instructor of philosophy and ethics at Pueblo Community College.
Fr. Jim is married to Cynde Bimbi, the Director of Communications and Public Relations for The Episcopal Church in Delaware. Together they have five children and seven grandchildren.
Father Jim's Letter of March 4, 2022 to the Parish
A Message from the Interim Rector
Dear people of Saints Andrew and Matthew,
I am honored that your wardens and vestry invited me to serve as your part-time interim rector. I greatly appreciate the warm welcome the congregation gave me. After two and a half years of retirement, it took a while for me to get fully up and running, but I feel it has been a good start.
The focus of my time here with you touches upon all areas of ministry currently being lived out through this parish. My goal is not to take charge or to change directions, but to advise and encourage during this time of transition. My agreement is to serve at SsAM for 22.5 hours/week.
During this time of search for the next permanent rector, my prayer is that you will continue to focus and build upon what SsAM means to you personally, but also what it means to this city and to the Episcopal Church in Delaware. SsAM is a beacon of hope, and a reflection of God's love, acceptance, and desire for "justice to roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
Once again, I am honored to be with you at this moment for this journey in the life of the Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew.
Blessings and peace,
—Father Jim

Colonialization has never failed to provoke discussion and debate over its territorial, economic and political projects, and their ongoing consequences. This work argues that the state-based activity of planning was integral to these projects in conceptualizing, shaping and managing place in settler societies. Planning was used to appropriate and then produce territory for management by the state and in doing so, became central to the colonial invasion of settler states. Moreover, the book demonstrates how the colonial roots of planning endure in complex (post)colonial societies and how such roots, manifest in everyday planning practice, continue to shape land use contests between indigenous people and planning systems in contemporary (post)colonial states.

I Watched This Game: Canucks vs. Oilers, December 26, 2010
Canucks 3 - 2 Oilers
A couple days ago on Puck Daddy, Justine Bourne wrote about the dreaded post-Christmas game, and suggested that hockey fans "be sure to set [the] DVR for 'anything but NHL hockey' on Dec. 26 and 27" as players work off their Christmas hams and turkeys with lethargic play. Instead, both the Canucks and Oilers came out flying in a fairly wide-open hockey game. The Canucks carried the bulk of the play, out-shooting the Oilers 33-21, but Khabibulin put up a wall, the Oilers were opportunistic with their chances, and the Canucks had to come from behind to win this one.
I wasn't worried for an instant: as everyone knows, the two-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey. As soon as the Oilers went up 2-0, I knew the Canucks had this game in the bag. Despite such foreknowledge, I watched this entire game:
Last Boxing Day, Jeff Tambellini sat in the press box at Madison Square Garden, a healthy scratch while his New York Islanders eked out an overtime victory against the Rangers. Three nights later, he would get 12:27 of icetime in his first game in three weeks before heading right back in the press box for the next game. In the new year, he would play one game in January, two more in February, and finish the season in and out of the press box, without a goal since November 23rd in Toronto. That offseason, the worst team in the NHL let him walk without much consideration, and they're probably the only ones who are even remotely sore about it. Tamby got picked up by his hometown team, and his luck changed dramatically. Tonight, he scored a vital goal on his patented high wrister, had another waved off, and buzzed around the offensive and defensive zones making big plays (including a huge backcheck on a 2-on-1). Give the kid credit for an incredible turnaround.
The Biggest Idiot Ever award goes to the two fans sitting behind the Oilers' net in the 1st and 3rd period who couldn't seem to refrain from banging their hands on the glass ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Pro Tip: when you do that, your team does not get a brief turbo boost.
The First Law of Sedinery: if a game is tied late in the third period, and the Sedins have not yet factored into a goal, they'll soon factor into the game-winner. Both Sedins had strong games, creating multiple scoring chances, including a perfect setup for Andrew Alberts in the slot. Unfortunately, it was a perfect setup for Andrew Alberts in the slot.
The fourth line had only one shift after the complete collapse that led to the Oilers' first goal, leaving both Aaron Volpatti and Alexandre Bolduc with under 5 minutes in total time-on-ice. The only reason Tanner Glass had more is because he was used once in a penalty killing role in the third period. Most, if not all, of the blame has to be given to Volpatti, who completely mishandled a pass from Glass, giving it away to O'Marra at the blueline, then failing to follow O'Marra to the net to prevent him from putting the puck in the open net. We're only a few games removed from Volpatti scoring his first NHL goal and the fourth line being praised for finally existing, but that is the kind of play that could see Volpatti on a plane to Manitoba.
Cory Schneider only made 19 saves tonight, but made several tough stops off of odd-man rushes. It's dangerous to give a young, hungry team like the Oilers so many odd-man rushes. It's also dangerous to give slightly older, well-fed players like Ryan Whitney an odd-man rush: Schneider had less of a chance on his goal than Brian Herzlinger with Drew Barrymore.
Manny Malhotra had his usual strong defensive game, going an astonishing 83% in the faceoff circle and logging almost 2 minutes of time on the penalty kill, but he also showed some offensive flourish, with 3 shots and an assist. His most impressive moment came towards the end of the second period, just before Tambellini scored, as he split the defense and forced Khabibulin to make a solid save. He just needs a browncoat, pistol, and a more accurate shot to upgrade from Alternate Captain Mal to Captain Mal.
With an assist on Tambellini's goal, Kesler extended his point streak to 7 games. He has 11 points in that span. Only 17 more games and 35 more points to catch Crosby!
That said, did Kesler forget how to turn right on the Tambellini goal? After cutting across the blue line to drop the puck, he does a full spin to get back into position for a return feed. A simple right turn would have sufficed. Does he think he's Derek Zoolander? Perhaps.
Speaking of Kesler, both he and Henrik were terrible on faceoffs tonight at 33% and 32% respectively. Against a better team, that could have been disastrous. Meanwhile, Alexandre Bolduc was 100% on draws; too bad he only took 3 of them. Still, Ducer (pronounced "dük-er" and yes, that's apparently what his teammates call him) is a solid 55.9% for the season.
Remember when it was safe to go to the outside on a Canucks defenseman? Remember that? It's no longer the case. I am happy about that.
I'm often hard on Raffi Torres for his poor puck decisions and bizarre pass attempts, but his assist on Samuelsson's goal was pretty fantastic. Also pretty fantastic? Dr. Doom riding a unicorn. Missing from that replay is Keith Ballard's excellent work at gaining the blue line and going hard to the net. After getting the puck to the corner, he rotates back to the point, where Mikael Samuelsson was covering him. Samuelsson stealthily glides into the slot and no one thinks to pick him up because of the rotation between he and Ballard. Shorty even yells "There's Samuelsson!" as if he had no idea where he was either. He was probably hiding under an invisibility cloak.
Speaking of Ballard, it's tempting to yet again question AV's decisions with time-on-ice as Ballard yet again played under 14 minutes. But when Edler, Ehrhoff, Hamhuis, and Bieksa are playing so well ahead of him and eating up big minutes...well, there's only so much time to go around. Bieksa-haters may want to argue that Ballard should get his minutes; this wasn't the game to make that argument.
Bieksa's game-winning goal, seen above, comes unsurprisingly off some fantastic work below the goal-line by Henrik Sedin. Despite being "hauled down" by Taylor Hall, he manages to hook the puck behind the net to Alex Burrows from his back. Burrows smartly waits for Daniel to crash the net before feeding the puck to Bieksa at the point. Bieksa does not have the heavy shot of Edler or Ehrhoff, but he consistently gets his shots on net and manages to thread the needle through the haystack of bodies in front of Khabibulin. It's a perfect shot: about a foot and a half above the ice, just off the inside post.

A welcome ugly and expected post-Christmas win. Most of the Canucks are parents, going through the stress of taking their kids through Christmas. Meanwhile, the Oilers are so young they'ree still leaving milk and cookies for Santa...

me and my cousin were having an argument about whether Taylor Hall was the best player in the NHL, my cousin, obviously, is an idiot. but i definetly enjoyed using the bieksa goal as proof that taylor hall isn't even one of the best players on the worst team in the NHL.
Hall missed a wide open chance earlier in the period by going for the brett hull one legged power-slide goal then Hall grabs Henrik, pulling him to the ground without getting a penalty and then on the bieksa goal he gets the puck not once but twice and fails to clear the zone, then he decides that he may as well help the canucks score so he screens his own goalie.
it feels so good to be right sometimes, it doesn't matter that my cousin is retarded. i'd argue with a baby if i knew i was gonna win.
Who is arguing Hall is the best player in the NHL when he has 11 career goals? Tell your cousin to get smarter.
Also, after you mock Hall for his ugly defending on the game-winner, make sure to save some criticism for Sam Gagner, who runs out at Kevin Bieksa with absolutely no plan whatsoever. Good stuff right there.

the best moment had to be when hansen cross-checked stortini in the face. love it
Chickenhawk, is it possible you've been a Canucks fan for quite some time, seeing as you watch all the games?
Great IWTG guys
I'm pretty sure Chickenhawk is a die-hard Nucker but just doesn't want you to know it.

3D Printing Cells with DNA Velcro
September 2, 2015 / Todd Dubnicoff	/ 2 Comments

One of the Holy Grails of stem cell research is growing body parts to replace those damaged by disease or injury. Enormous strides have been made in a key first step: mastering recipes for maturing stem cells into various specialized cell types. But a lawn of, say, liver cells in a petri dish is not a functioning liver. Organs have complex, three-dimensional structures with intricate communication between multiple cell types.
Scientists are actively devising methods to overcome this challenge. For instance, cultivating cells onto biological scaffolds help mold the cells into the shape of a particular organ or tissue. And retooled 3D printers using "bio ink" can seed layers of different cells onto these scaffolds to create specified structures.
This week, a UCSF team added an ingenious new tool to this tissue engineering tool kit. As reported on Monday in Nature Methods, the lab of Zev Gartner took advantage of DNA's Velcro-like chemistry to build layers of different cell types in a specified pattern.
DNA – it's not just for genetics anymore
A DNA fragment is made of two complimentary strands that bind together with high specificity. (Image source: Visionlearning)
DNA is a molecule made of two thin strands. Each strand is specifically attracted to the other based on a unique sequence of genetic information. So if two strands of a short DNA fragment are peeled apart, they will only rejoin to each other and not some other fragment with a different sequence. While DNA usually resides in the nucleus of a cell, the team worked out a method to temporarily attach copies of a strand of DNA on the outside of, let's call it, "cell A". The opposite strand of that DNA fragment was attached to "cell B". When mixed together the two cells became attached to each other via the matching DNA sequences. Other cells with different DNA fragments floated on by.
The screen shot below from a really neat time-lapse video, which accompanies the research publication, shows how a rudimentary 3D cell structure could be built with a series of different cell-DNA fragment combinations. In this case, the team first attached DNA fragments onto a petri dish in a specific pattern. At the thirty-second mark in the video, you can see that cells with matching DNA fragments have attached to the DNA on the dish.
This video demonstrates the assembly of 3D cell structures with the help of DNA "Velcro" (image source: Todhunter et al. Nature Methods 2015 Aug 31st)
The new technique, dubbed DNA programmed assembly of cells (DPAC), opens up a lot possibilities according to Gartner in a UCSF press release:
"We can take any cell type we want and program just where it goes. We can precisely control who's talking to whom and who's touching whom at the earliest stages. The cells then follow these initially programmed spatial cues to interact, move around, and develop into tissues over time."
The Quest still continues with possible victories along the way
Of course, this advance is still a far cry from the quest for whole organs derived from stem cells. The cell assemblies using DPAC can only be grown up to about 100 microns, the thickness of a human hair. Beyond that size, the innermost cells get starved of oxygen and nutrients. Gartner says that obstacle is a current focus in the lab:
"We're working on building functional blood vessels into these tissues. We can get the right cells in the right positions but haven't figured out how to perfuse them with blood or a substitute efficiently yet."
In the meantime, building these small 3D "organoids" from stem cells certainly could be put to good use as a means to test drug toxicity on human tissue or as a way to study human disease.

Stem cell stories that caught our eye: regenerating limbs on scaffolds, self regeneration via a drug, mood stem cells, CRISPR
June 4, 2015 June 16, 2015 / Don Gibbons	/ Leave a comment
Here are some stem cell stories that caught our eye this past week. Some are groundbreaking science, others are of personal interest to us, and still others are just fun.
Regenerating a limb, or at least part of it. Many teams have generated organs or parts of organs in animals by starting with a dead one. They literally wash away all the cells from the donor organ using a detergent so that they are left with a framework of the cells' connective tissue. Then they seed that scaffold with stem cells or other cells to grow a new organ. A team at Massachusetts General Hospital has now used the same process to generate at least part of a rat limb.
The news cells growing on the donor limb scaffold in a bioreactor
It took a week to get the tiny little leg fully cleaned up and then another two weeks for the seeded cells to repopulate the scaffold left behind. That cellular matrix seems to send signals to the seeded cells on what type of tissue to become and how to arrange themselves. The team succeeded in creating an artificial limb with muscle cells aligned into appropriate fibers and blood vessels in the right places to keep them nourished. The researchers published their work in the journal Biomaterials and the website Next Big Future wrote up the procedure and provided some context on the limitations of current prosthetic limbs. The author also notes that the researchers have a lot more work to do, notably to prove they can get nerves to grow and connect at the point of transplantation to the "patient" animal. Discover also wrote a version of the story.
Getting the body to regenerate itself. A strain of mice discovered 20 years ago has led a multi-institution team to a possible way to get the body to regenerate damaged tissue, something the mouse discovered two decades ago can do and other mammals cannot. The researchers found that those mice have one chemical pathway, HIF-1a, that is active in the adult mice but is normally only active in the developing embryo. When they pushed that chemical path to work in normal mice those mice, too, gained the power to regenerate tissue. Ellen Heber-Katz from the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research outside of Philadelphia was quoted in the institute's press release on Health Medicine Network.
"We discovered that the HIF-1a pathway–an oxygen regulatory pathway predominantly used early in evolution but still used during embryonic development–can act to trigger healthy regrowth of lost or damaged tissue in mice, opening up new possibilities for mammalian tissue regeneration."
Heber-Katz led the team that included researchers from the company Allergan and the University of California, Berkeley. In order to activate the HIF-1a pathway they basically took the natural brakes off it. Another cellular chemical, PHD normally inhibits the action of HIF-1a in adults. The researcher turned the table on PHD and inhibited it instead. The result, after three injections of the PHD inhibitor over five days the mice who had a hole punched in their ear healed over the hole complete with cartilage and new hair.
Regulating memory and mood. It turns out your brain's hippocampus, the section responsible for both memory and mood, has not one type of stem cell replenishing nerves, but two. And those two types of stem cells give rise to different types of nerves, which may account for the highly varied function of this part of the brain. Researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia isolated the two types of stem cells and then let them grow into nerves but the nerves from each expressed different genes, which means they have different functions. The lead researcher on the study, Dhanisha Jhaveri, discussed the findings in a press release picked up by Science Daily:
"The two cell groups are located in different regions of the hippocampus, which suggests that distinct areas within the hippocampus control spatial learning versus mood."
The research provides fodder for future work looking into the treatment of learning and mood disorders. Review of the now celebrity tool, CRISPR. I don't think I have ever seen so much ink and so many electrons spilled over a science tool as I have seen for CRISPR, particularly for one few scientists can tell you what the acronym stands for: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. It is basically a fluke in the genes of several bacteria in which some of the base pairs that make up their DNA get repeated at regular intervals. Their configuration confers the ability for CRISPR segments to be used to disrupt or change specific genes in other organisms. Heidi Ledford writing for Nature in the journal's news section provides a great wrap-up of what the technology is and what it can do, but also provides some caveats about its efficiency, accuracy, ethical concerns, and occasionally just not understanding how it works. The Nature team provides some valuable infographics showing the history of the science and on the rapid adoption of the technology as shown in publications, patents and funding. They also published an infographic on using CRISPR for "gene drive," a way to push a modified trait through a population quickly, such as a mutation that could stop mosquitos from transmitting malaria. This potential drives much of the concern about misuse of the tool. But scientists quoted in the piece also provide more mundane reasons for moving slowly in thinking about using the therapy for patients. One of those is that it can sometime cause a high rate of "off-target" gene edits; simply put, cutting DNA in the wrong place. But as a research tool, there is no doubt it has revolutionized the field of gene modification. It is so much faster and so much cheaper than earlier gene editing tools; it is now possible for almost any lab to do this work. The piece starts out with an anecdote from CIRM-grantee Bruce Conklin of the Gladstone Institutes, talking about how it completely changed the way his lab works.
"It was a student's entire thesis to change one gene," Conklin said, adding "CRISPR is turning everything on its head."
Clearing up chemobrain: cancer therapy-induced memory problems reversed by stem cells
February 19, 2015 May 8, 2015 / Todd Dubnicoff	/ 1 Comment
You'd think receiving a cancer diagnosis and then suffering through chemo and/or radiation therapy would be traumatic enough. But as many as 75% of cancer survivors are afflicted by memory and attention problems long after their cancer therapy.
This condition, often called "chemobrain", shouldn't be misunderstood as being confined to cancers of the brain. A 2012 analysis of nearly 200 women who had been treated with chemotherapy for breast cancer showed they had ongoing memory and information processing deficits that persisted more than twenty years after their last round of treatment. And young cancer survivors are particularly vulnerable to reduced IQs, nonsocial behavior and an extremely lowered quality of life.
CIRM grantee and UC Irvine professor Charles Limoli, PhD is senior author of this study
Chemotherapy drugs work by killing off cells that are dividing rapidly, a hallmark of cancer cells. But this brute force method also kills other rapidly dividing cells that are critical for normal bodily functions. In the case of chemobrain, it's thought that damage to newly formed brain cells in the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain, is the culprit. A UC Irvine study published this week in Cancer Research supports that idea in experiments that test the effect of transplanting human nerve stem cells in rats. The research team leader Charles Limoli, a CIRM grantee and UC Irvine professor of radiation oncology, summarized the groundbreaking results in a press release (note: this study is not funded by CIRM):
"Our findings provide the first solid evidence that transplantation of human neural stem cells can be used to reverse chemotherapeutic-induced damage of healthy tissue in the brain."
The novel place recognition test, one of several tests used in this study to evaluate memory function. During training setup (left), the rodent is familiarized with identical objects (red circles). Later, rodent returns now in presence of a new object (blue square). A healthy mouse will investigate the new object during testing setup (right). Image credit: KnowingNeurons.com
So how the heck do you observe chemotherapy-induced cognitive problems in a rodent let alone show that stem cells can rescue the damage? In the study, the rats undergo a variety of recognition memory tasks after a typical chemotherapy drug treatment. For instance, in the novel place recognition test, an animal is familiarized with two identical objects inside a test "arena". Later, the animal is returned to the arena but a new object is swapped in for one of the previous objects. Rats given chemotherapy treatment but no stem cell surgery (they're implanted with a saline solution instead) do not show a preference for the novel object. But rats given chemotherapy and the human nerve stem cell surgery prefer the novel object. This novel seeking behavior is also seen in control rats given no chemotherapy. So these results demonstrate that the transplanted stem cells rescued normal memory recognition in the chemotherapy-treated rats.
The research team also saw differences within the brains of these groups of rats that match up with these behavioral results. First, they confirmed that the transplanted human stem cells had indeed survived and grafted into the rat brains and had matured into the correct type of brain cells. Next they looked at chemotherapy-induced inflammation of brain tissue. The brains of chemotherapy-treated rats with no stem cell transplantation showed increased number of active immune cells compared to the control and stem cell transplanted animals. In another experiment, a detailed analysis of the structure of individual nerve cells showed extensive damage in the chemotherapy treated rats compared to controls. Again, this damage was reversed in chemotherapy treated rats that also received the stem cell transplant.

As many researchers can tell you, these exciting results in animals don't guarantee a human therapy is around the corner. But still, says Limoli:
"This research suggests that stem cell therapies may one day be implemented in the clinic to provide relief to patients suffering from cognitive impairments incurred as a result of their cancer treatments. While much work remains, a clinical trial analyzing the safety of such approaches may be possible within a few years."

PSG spending spree continues as Yohan Cabaye joins

PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain has signed midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Newcastle on a three-and-a-half year deal Wednesday, the latest step in the ambitious French club's bid to become one of Europe's biggest teams.
PSG presented Cabaye at a news conference on Wednesday. No financial details were given by the club, but the 28-year-old Cabaye reportedly cost €20 million ($27.3 million) with an additional €5 million ($6.8 million) in bonuses.
"I'm very, very happy to be here. I'm really very proud too to be a part of this immense project PSG want to build and I'm eager to start with my new team," Cabaye said. "I'd like to thank Newcastle for allowing this transfer to happen. It's difficult to turn PSG down these days. I want to win trophies and PSG offer me that. There was no hesitation on my part."
Cabaye is renowned for his outstanding shooting from distance and is a free kick specialist, giving PSG that extra bit of firepower that it lacked in a workmanlike midfield featuring ball-winners Blaise Matuidi and Thiago Motta. He could make his debut in Friday's home game against Bordeaux.
"I'm impatient to start, I hope so," he said. "I'm ready to put my new colors on and to represent PSG. I feel in good form so there'll be no problem at that level. I hope I'll be on the team sheet on Friday."
He scored seven goals in 19 league games for Newcastle this season after missing the start of the campaign as he tried to force a move through to English Premier League leaders Arsenal.
"Arsenal made an offer for me but Newcastle decided not to accept it," he said. "That was their choice and at the start it was hard to take, but looking back on things and considering how we played in the subsequent six months, it was the right choice."
Cabaye also fell out with Joe Kinnear, Newcastle's director of football, who criticized the intelligence of Newcastle fans in a radio interview after getting the job. During it, he also mispronounced several players' names — appearing to refer to Cabaye as "Kebab," which Kinnear later said wasn't his intent.
"I don't hold a grudge. Life goes on, I wish them all the best and I hope they qualify for Europe because I still have friends there," Cabaye said. "I spent two and a half extraordinary years at Newcastle. I'll never forget the time I spent there."
Cabaye, who has 26 appearances for France, will be reunited with PSG boss Laurent Blanc, the former French coach who called him up to the national team in 2010. Cabaye went on to become a key player under Blanc and scored against Ukraine at the 2012 European Championship.
He is also eligible for the Champions League, giving PSG an even stronger look as it prepares to face Bayer Leverkusen next month as the knockout rounds get underway.
Since Qatari backers QSI took charge in May, 2011, PSG already has bought four players costing more than €40 million ($55 million) each — Brazil captain Thiago Silva, Argentina midfielder Javier Pastore — the club's first marquee signing who has since fallen out of favor — Brazil winger Lucas and Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani.
"I'm coming to a very big European club. For me that means competition for places in every position, but I will give my all," Cabaye said. "The manager has given me no guarantees. It's up to me to get in the team. I have no problem with that."
PSG is trying to improve its global brand but also to give the club more of a French feel, having previously tried to lure coach Arsene Wenger away from Arsenal, and Cabaye's signing is an important step in that sense.
"He's French and it's very important for us to recruit French players at PSG, to bring them back into the French league," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said.

Film Review: 'The Disaster Artist'
by salg on Dec 6, 2017 • 11:00 am
Director(s): James Franco
Writer(s): Scott Neustadter, Michael H. Weber
Digital, Color, 103 mins
Synopsis: Tells the story of two unlikely friends an their attempt to take on Hollywood. (Source)
In the best way, The Room is a perfect blend of ego, unintentional hilarity and unbridled, honest ambition. It's a film that needs no introduction amongst cinephiles far and wide, and is already one of cinema's most infamous passion projects. Though its absolutely a horrible film, there's no denying the oddball sincerity behind it, and going even further, there's no denying the unwitting charm of its creator, Tommy Wiseau. Wiseau is immediately as inscrutable as his trash masterpiece, and through him, James Franco has struck gold with The Disaster Artist. Based on first-hand accounts of Wiseau stalwart Greg Sestero, Franco has created a loving tribute to Wiseau and his delightfully bizarre creation, exploring a timeless story about the promise of Hollywood glamour, and those that risk everything to bask in its fleeting light. If anything, this film is proof that even the most likely of films can find an audience, and that behind every "bad" film, are the hopes and dreams of a beating heart.
The story kicks off with Greg Sestero (Dave Franco), a young Hollywood hopeful who meets a mysterious man named Tommy Wiseau (James Franco) in an acting class. Sestero is immediately blown away by Wiseau's courage (for the lack of a better word), literally throwing his entire body into an absurdly over-the-top, Tennessee Williams monologue. Soon after hitting it off, the two decide to move to Hollywood, eager to chase their dreams of stardom. While facing insurmountable odds at every turn, however, the Sestero and Wiseau decide to risk it all on a gamble – a self-funded film about two best friends and the woman that comes between them. Fueled by ambition and Wiseau's mysteriously bottomless bank account, the two set off to make movie history – even if not in the ways they were intending.
At its best, Franco's film transforms Wiseau and Sistero's absurd story into a celebration of artistic purity, friendship and fandom. Though these ideas would be enough to center on individually, Franco's film illustrates the way they feed off each other, especially when it comes to how films are created and consumed. It's also a reminder of why art isn't merely born, but the product of a number of variables. Luckily, the film keeps Wiseau's mysteries intact, never seeking to demystify the enigma surrounding the director's eccentricity, but instead making his story feel like one we've lived. Through this, Franco shows how art flourishes and thrives through those who devour it, all while keeping an endearing friendship at the fore. With Franco and co. embracing Wiseau's larger-than-life persona, the film is a full-on riot from start to finish, charting hilarious pitfalls lined with emotional truth and an irresistible underdog story.
Though the cast is littered with an ensemble that brilliantly captures their real-life counterparts, its James Franco's performance as Wiseau, that will go down in the books. As Wiseau, Franco is the film's heart, and nothing would work without that spot-on lazy eye, vampiric black hair and slurred, inexplicable accent. Franco, like the film, plays things straight, giving us a character whose idiosyncrasies are relentlessly funny, but somehow still grounded in sincerity. It's this fine balance that the film rests on, with Franco not just capturing the elusiveness of Wiseau's idiosyncrasy, but also his audacity. On the other end, Dave Franco works great as Sestero, giving us a way into Wiseau's world and selling the film's sweet friendship in a way that really sticks.
The Disaster Artist's secret weapon is its complete lack of cynicism. With its us-vs-them slant, the film is an irresistible look at taking fate into our own hands. It's an admirable trait by any measure, finding heart through relentless laughs but siding with Wiseau to explore how his story is one that we've all gone through in one way or another. If you're already a fan of The Room, then this film is a perfect companion piece, interlocking both thematically and narratively in clever ways. For the uninitiated, the film still captures the magic of films in general, how by nature, they're a shared experience bigger than any one person, and with a life all their own.

The outline is inspired by some of Herbie Fletcher classic designs. The board's features show huge characteristics from both ends of the longboarding spectrum. A big concave through the nose running down into the back third of the board, flowing into a V inside a double concave, contributing massively to the lift whilst on the nose and flow from nose to tail surfing.
The rails are key to this designs ability to surf this board anyway you like, with a lifted Apex in the rail through the nose gradually blending into a low apex of the rail through the tail, giving you great response off the tail when you want it and the feel you expect from a classic traditional design.
The combination of a wider nose, magic rocker and a rounded pin tail gives this model incredible lift, glide and stability on the nose, with the ability to flow through sections from anywhere you stand.

Home Politics Funeral of Pheu Thai MP Draws Thousands of Red Mourners
Funeral of Pheu Thai MP Draws Thousands of Red Mourners
More than 10,000 people attended the ceremony at Bang Phai Temple in Nonthaburi province, 19 Oct 2014.
BANGKOK — Former Pheu Thai politician Apiwan Wiriyachai was cremated today in a ceremony that turned into the largest public gathering of Redshirt supporters since the military coup on 22 May.
Apiwan, a longtime ally of Redshirt icon and former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, died of lung cancer on 6 October at the age of 65 in the Philippines where he was living in exile.
The former Pheu Thai MP, who also served as Deputy House Speaker, was widely admired by the Redshirts, as evident by the approximately 10,000 supporters who attended his cremation ceremony at Bang Phai Temple in Nonthaburi province today.
The ceremony was headed by Thaksin's younger sister and former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, whose Redshirt-supported government was toppled in the 22 May coup.
The flame used in the cremation was provided by the Royal Household Bureau; Apiwan was eligible for the honour because he served in the military and attained the rank of colonel.
Other prominent Pheu Thai politicians and Redshirt leaders also attended the ceremony, including Jatuporn Prompan, Nattawut Saikua, and Thida Thawornseth.
The funeral was the biggest public gathering of the Redshirts since the military ousted Yingluck's pro-Thaksin government and banned all political activities.
In compliance with the ban, most Redshirt leaders have kept a low profile in recent months.
This evening, soldiers were deployed on the roads around Bang Phai Temple and many police officers were posted at the temple to observe the cremation.
However, there were no political activities or speeches at the ceremony, as requested by authorities. Former PM Yingluck, who had to struggle to make her way through the large crowds of Redshirts, left the venue without speaking to the press after she laid down a symbolic flower over Apiwan's coffin.
Siriwat Chupamatta, who helps coordinate the Redshirts' umbrella organisation the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), dismissed concerns that Apiwan's cremation would be used as an opportunity to rally against the military junta.
"Redshirts are not obsessed with politics so much that they will use Apiwan's funeral as a way to coordinate and plan a rally," Siriwat said. "That would be disrespectful to Apiwan. Redshirts know full well when it's inappropriate to do political activity. Since the NCPO and the government have promised an election by 2016, the Redshirts accept that."
He also said that the UDD even invited Maj.Gen. Sansern Kaewkamnerd, a spokesperson of the military regime, to join the funeral so he could see for himself that the ceremony did not turn political.
Apiwan is the first Thai politician to die in exile in recent history. The former Pheu Thai MP fled the country shortly after the coup, along with many other politicians and activists who left to avoid persecution by the junta.
In July, police charged Apiwan with lese majeste – insulting the monarchy – for comments he made in one of his public speeches. Authorities have been trying to extradite the former MP to face trial in Thailand, where lese majeste is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Yesterday, junta leader and Prime Minister Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha urged all dissidents to come home from exile and contest their charges under Thailand's justice system.
"Please come home," Gen. Prayuth said in the press conference yesterday. "Living abroad is not comfortable at all, unlike living in Thailand."

Creator Square Johnstown
Creative Masters: Artisans-in-Residence
Creator Square is an artisan residency program developed to stimulate urban revitalization, economic development, and workforce training. The first manifestation of Creator Square is located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Creator Square Johnstown will be housed in the renovated Parkview Building, an existing historic structure that will be transformed into a community maker space and live/work studio facility.
Emerging leaders in the local and national maker community will be chosen for residencies lasting from two months to two years in duration. The program is designed to connect the dots between the region's manufacturing heritage and contemporary advances in small batch manufacturing and maker space innovation.
Emerging artisan/makers recently graduated from college or graduate school (0-10 years out) with a goal of incubating and developing their knowledge, creativity, and practices at a low-cost and in the company of a like-minded community;
Mid-career artisan/makers interested in an artisan retreat to support inspiration, learning of new skills or technologies, and entrepreneurial development.
"Creator Square is designed to be the keystone that connects Johnstown's creative community, industrial infrastructure, and entrepreneurial activity by establishing a focal presence in downtown's Central Park."
The program has been designed to introduce new economy makers and craftspeople with small batch manufacturing businesses and entrepreneurial skills into local western Pennsylvania communities through a competitive residency. Rather than locating an art center in the outskirts of town, Creator Square's potential as an economic accelerant is founded on its central positioning, stimulating nearby development. Participants in the program will be asked to present workforce development and job skill transfer workshops in exchange for low-rent, purpose-built, live/work studios in a micro-community building, dedicated and shared production space and equipment, donated materials, teaching opportunities, and sales promotion and advice.
The initial idea was incubated in 2014, during an interdisciplinary Carnegie Mellon University class led by Architect Paul Rosenblatt of Springboard Design, with local Johnstown resident, Donald Bonk. Supporting partners of Creator Square include Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, the Department of Defense, and the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies.

MP celebrates another success as buses return to Hincaster
South Lakes MP Tim Farron has praised Stagecoach after they agreed to re-route the new 552 service via Hincaster to return bus services to the village which were cut by the Conservative-led county council in April.
Despite receiving an extra £288,000 towards local bus services from the government, the county council planned to cut the lifeline to Levens, Sedgwick, Natland and Hincaster by pulling funding from the 550 and 552 routes. Following a campaign run by community groups in the villages, and local Liberal Democrat councillors Mary Orr, Brenda Gray and Geoff Cook, Stagecoach agreed to keep services going and re-route various buses.
One of the services they rerouted was the 552 to serve Sedgwick and Natland, but this led to a side effect of it not being able to serve Milnthorpe Square which caused problems for residents in Arnside. Now the 552 will serve the Square before continuing through Hincaster, Sedgwick and Natland. Heversham will continue to be served by the 555, and Levens by the 530.
In a reply to local MP Tim Farron, who has spearheaded the wider campaign, Paul Southgate, Managing Director Stagecoach North West said: "[We will route the 552] service via Hincaster so that it will serve Milnthorpe Square and address the angst that the revised routeing has caused. I understand there are some utilities works due along the intended route shortly and so we will not attempt to effect the change until that is complete. Obviously we will advise bus users accordingly once a change date is arranged."
Tim said: "I'm really pleased that Stagecoach has agreed to tweak these services to include Hincaster. The services provide a vital lifeline for local communities which were let down by the county council in April."
Chair of the South Lakes Local Committee of the county council, Lib Dem councillor Geoff Cook, said: "This is yet more good news for local residents, but as Stagecoach are now providing these services commercially, residents should remember the old adage - use it or lose it!"


Taking the time to do research and become knowledgeable about the market is the key factor in guaranteeing good investments and profits. Be sure to carefully consider each investment before you put your hard-earned money into the market. For more solid advice on how to play the market, check out this article below.
If you invest using the stock market, it is a good idea to keep it simple. Maintain a simplistic approach to your trading style and market analysis so that you are not making unnecessary risks or leaving certain steps unaccounted for.
A long-term plan is wise if you want to make a lot of money from a stock market investment. Be realistic when investing. You should hold onto your stocks until you make the profits that you expect.
Before you dive head first into trading stocks, make sure to watch the market for a while to get Marks Real Reviews AWOL Academy a feel for it. It is always recommended to wait on making your first investment until you have studied the market for a lengthy period of time. A sensible rule to follow is to withhold any major investment until you have spent three years closely watching market activity. You can get a much better understanding of the market, increasing your chance of having your investments pay off.
If you are the owner of some common stocks, try to participate in the voting process whenever you can. Depending upon a given company's charter, you may have voting rights when it comes to electing directors or proposals for major changes, such as mergers. Voting can be done at the yearly shareholders' meeting or by proxy voting through the mail.
Give short selling a try! Short selling involves "borrowing" shares for a set period of time. An investor will borrow shares through an agreement of delivering the same quantity of those shares at a future date. The person who is investing will then sell their shares so they will be bought again when the price of the stock falls.
Building a detailed, long-term investment plan and setting it down in writing is an important step to take if you want to maximize your stock portfolio's performance. The plan needs to include both buying and selling strategies. It also needs to include an investment budget. When you have this, you can invest using your head, rather than your emotions.
Avoid random stock tips or advice. Of course, listen to the advice of your broker or financial adviser, especially if the investments they recommend can be found in their own personal portfolios. Do not pay attention to what others have to say. There's no replacement for hard work, research and taking calculated risks.
Prior to purchasing a company's stock, do some research on this business. Often, new companies and stocks are hyped up to appear to have great potential and people buy stock in the heat of the moment. The next thing they know, the firm runs into trouble, and the stocks lose money.
If you reside in North America, get a Roth IRA then add the maximum amount funds permitted. Generally, those belonging to the working and middle classes qualify. This type of investment provides valuable tax breaks, and most people will enjoy high yields as time goes on.
Keep a sharp eye on your portfolio. Keep a close watch on your portfolio, ensure that all stocks are doing well, and there are favorable conditions in the market. Having said that, don't be too obsessed to the point where you check the stock price incessantly; things change often, and you do not want to stress yourself out.
If your choice of investments is unwise in the beginning, don't lose heart. Often, novice traders are discouraged when their first investments do not do as well as they hoped. It requires research, experience, knowledge and practice to invest successfully, so keep that in mind before you quit.
Start investing by purchasing a few shares of a single company's stock. Only use a small portion of your entire investment capital. Once you see a stock is profitable, you can then invest some more. Investing too much at once increases your chances of losing large sums of money.
Patience and wisdom are of critical importance and go hand-in-hand when you are investing in the stock market. You don't need a business or finance degree to become successful, staying informed can help you do that. Use this advice to protect and grow your stock portfolio.

Democratic Poll Offers Glimmer of Hope in N.D. Senate Race
By Shira Toeplitz
Posted September 22, 2011 at 5:35am
Democrats released a new poll today aiming to show they could be competitive in the open North Dakota Senate race.
The Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group survey showed the likely GOP Senate nominee, freshman Rep. Rick Berg (N.D.) with 44 percent. Another 40 percent of respondents preferred a Democratic candidate.
Unfortunately for Democrats, the poll came out just hours before their most-often-mentioned candidate for the seat, former state Rep. Pam Gulleson, who was a staffer for former Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), was expected to announce her bid for Berg's open House seat instead. Berg announced in May that he would seek the Senate seat, just six months after unseating Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D) for the at-large district.
Sen. Kent Conrad's (D-N.D.) retirement already makes this a tough seat for Democrats to hold in 2012 because of the state's GOP leanings. But without a solid candidate, the party seems doomed to hand over the seat to the GOP.
Democrats name Gulleson, former state Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp or her brother, former state Sen. Joel Heitkamp, as possible candidates for the seat.
Meanwhile, Democratic pollster Geoff Garin wrote in a memo that Berg's "personal and performance ratings are the lowest by far I have ever measured for any federally elected official in the state, Republican or Democrat."
The Democratic survey questioned 614 voters from Aug. 14 to 16, including 40 percent self-identified Republicans and 28 percent self-identified Democrats.

Introducing the Cocktail Diviner at The Bloomsbury Club Bar
Enjoy mystical cocktail stories told through the Bloomsbury Bars new host
As September officially launches the final farewell to the British Summer, the Bloomsbury Bar, in perfect timing, are introducing a cocktail concept with a fresh new twist to the tails of its menu this fall.
The Doyle Collection's moody and seductive Bloomsbury Bar, will play host to an immersive experience as it takes its guests through a whirlwind timeline of events, to evoke the debauched antics of The Bloomsbury Set, with a night which will be filled with an air of telepathy, divination and mystical elements to completely heighten your experience.
Set in the heart of literary Bloomsbury, the Bloomsbury bar's space will become a backdrop to a realm of tale-telling liquors inspired by The Bloomsbury Set's attitudes towards religion, art and their exploration of spiritual meaning. The bar will welcome 14 new spiritually tailored cocktails to its list, which will tie in with 14 different states of mind or being. The main feature however is their 'Cocktail Diviner' who will guide each of the guest's emotional state, revealing their deepest desires and secrets, as a result, prophesising their perfectly tailored choice of cocktail to enjoy for that evening.
The Bloomsbury set were notorious for their unorthodox beliefs of an inter-connected universe throughout the Victorian period. Honing in on this era's culture of spirituality throughout the aftermath of World-War two, the menu draws its inspiration from a special set of Tarot cards designed and dating back to 1910. Expect to be met with an eclectic mix of drinks such as 'Persian Mist' and the 'Forbidden Fruit' mocked up with spirits and flavours to mirror the unrestrained tastes of this private members club.
Enjoy a tipple within the Bloomsbury Bars 1930s style decadence, split into two areas, as it's plush furnishings and atmospheric lighting invite you to escape the days hustle and bustle. Billing itself as the type of drink menu London has been missing, the Doyle Collection's themed bar will celebrate the golden age of cocktails, with a strong mix of recognised classics, served along some creative new tastes for it's guests to try.

Home Ec-news Emma to Deliver Video Marketing to SMBs
Emma to Deliver Video Marketing to SMBs
By Kenneth Corbin | January 30, 2008
Digital marketing for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) isn't easy.
Working under a limited budget, small companies have historically struggled to match the production values their larger competitors can include in their interactive ad campaigns.
Emma, an e-mail marketing company that caters to SMBs, is looking to change that through a new partnership with StudioNow, a discount provider of postproduction video services.
"We're excited to introduce an idea to our customers that they thought would have been beyond their scope," Annie Kinnaird, Emma's director of business development, told InternetNews.com. "I think it's going to be a pleasant surprise for them."
Based in Nashville, Tenn., StudioNow maintains a vast network of video editors, ranging from highly skilled amateurs to Hollywood mainstays.
When a company needs help putting together a video, it comes to StudioNow with the rudiments it wants included -- stock pieces such as text, music, still images or video it has shot in-house.
StudioNow then makes those elements available to its editor network, and what follows is a pitch slam. The Web 2.0 term is "crowd-sourcing": The editors submit a proposal of what they would do with the content and how much they charge, and the SMB decides which bid matches their vision and budget.
Through the partnership, Emma will offer its roughly 10,000 SMB clients discounted access to StudioNow's services.
Emma manages the e-mail marketing campaigns for clients such as NPR's Car Talk program, New York University, Coinstar and others.
These groups and the thousands of mom-and-pop outfits that fill out the ranks of Emma's client base are often priced out of the rich-media marketing tools such as video.
Video ads are widely acknowledged as better engagement drivers than more static ads, and recent studies have projected that video advertising will be one of the fastest-growing segments of digital advertising.
"With both marketers and consumers increasingly wanting video online, services that make it easier for small and midsize businesses to add video to their communications [are] a good thing," David Hallerman, senior analyst at eMarketer, wrote in an e-mail to InternetNews.com.
Still, Hallerman questioned whether e-mail recipients will be receptive to high-bandwidth messages as SMB marketers explore ways to jazz up e-mails to customers and prospects.
"Since people tend to browse their e-mails quickly, embedded video doesn't always make sense," he explained. "However, if the SMB video is simply a link from the e-mail message to the marketer's Web site, that can make the added video far more welcome."
Hallerman also advised that companies provide their recipients with the choice of opting out of video messages. "The more opportunities for customers to control the communications, the more receptive they'll be to those messages," he said.


Skip the deep-fry and get right to the good stuff with this deconstructed alternative to traditional egg rolls. Pork, shrimp, cabbage, scallions, and a killer blend of spices and sauce make this quick and easy recipe a hit with anyone who loves egg rolls. Enjoy with rice and a little sweet and sour sauce for the full taste experience.
Heat olive oil in pressure cooker set to Sauté on High. Sauté pork, ginger, and garlic in hot oil until pork is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add green onions, celery, and water chestnuts; sauté until celery is softened, 1 to 3 minutes more.
Stir coleslaw mix, black soy sauce, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, Chinese five-spice seasoning, and black pepper into pork mixture.
Lock pressure cooker lid in place and turn steam vent handle to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook and cook on High Pressure for 1 minute. Turn steam vent handle to Venting to quick-release pressure. Drain excess liquid from pot.
Select Sauté on Normal and stir shrimp, extra black soy sauce if desired, and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce into pork mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Substitute ground chicken for the ground pork if desired. Add thinly sliced green onions and bean sprouts for some extra flavor and crunch.
Make this vegetarian by leaving out the pork and shrimp. Substitute crumbled tofu for the ground pork and sauté with the ginger and garlic. If tofu isn't your thing, try extra veggies like broccoli florets or cauliflower florets.
Per Serving: 548 calories; 36g fat; 26.1g carbohydrates; 28g protein; 163mg cholesterol; 1687mg sodium.
Made this as written and it was perfect! So quick and easy and delicious!
This was ok however all I could taste and smell was the Chinese 5 spice. Such a small amount was so strong in my opinion. I will try again and omit that seasoning as I just don't like it. I used ground chicken instead of pork.
A really quick and easy weeknight dinner option. The cabbage cooks way down. 3lbs is a bit of a tight fit before you put the pressure to it but after it's easily manageable. This is a recipe that could be easily tweaked to suit your own tastes. If you need a carb to go with it, putting it over rice would work well.
