"How is he today?" Flora clutched her fingers together in a knot, touching her chin with her thumbs.
"He's been asking for you." Dr. George Gleason, his hands tucked characteristically into his white lab coat pockets, tipped his head toward a man in a wheelchair across the wide room sitting in a pool of sunshine
"By name?" Flora's hands transformed from an anguished fist into a hopeful prayer.
"Yes, he seemed most eager to speak with you," Gleason lightly touched Flora's shoulder, gesturing her forward with his other hand. "He is the most lucid I've seen him in a long time."
Before joining her great-grandfather, Flora turned to give the doctor a quick hug.
Jakob Schumacher had been a resident of Lakeside Rehabilitation Center since Flora was a teenager. Every Thursday afternoon, she was there to visit him, even when he didn't remember who she was. Those days of unfamiliarity had become more and more frequent. That Jakob had asked specifically for her was a miracle to Flora.
"Opa," Flora knelt on the floor beside Jakob's chair, taking one of his gnarled hands in hers, touching it to her cheek. "It's good to see you."
Raising her hand, Jakob kissed it then patted her head like he did when she was a child.
"It is a good day, my little flower," Jakob said, using his nickname for Flora. His smile was genuine, and his eyes clear and bright.
"I wanted to talk with you about something important," he said, pointing to a nearby cluster of armchairs. "Let's go over there where we can speak privately."
Flora wheeled him over to the quiet corner, adjusting one of the chairs so she could face him while they talked.
Jakob rolled his chair forward until their knees were touching.
"Do you remember the fairytale I used to tell you when you were young?" Jakob grasped Flora's knees. His grip stronger than she expected.
"Yes, of course," she said, resting her hands on his until he relaxed. "The Shoemaker and the Elves. I used to pretend that the story was about us, the Schumachers."
Jakob looked around to make sure no one was listening to them. Leaning in closer, he whispered, "it was."
Flora frowned, her head tilted in puzzlement. She leaned forward too, her forehead almost touching Jakob's.
"Opa, how can that be?" she said. "That fairytale is more than 200 years old."
"Yes!" Jakob nodded his head with child-like excitement. "Seven generations to be precise."
Flora sat back, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Just as I am your great-grandfather," Jakob began. "The shoemaker in the story was my great-grandfather."
"So, it was just a family story?" Flora sat up smiling. "There weren't really any elves."
Jakob giggled, sitting back in his chair.
"Oh, child," he said. "They were real. They still are."
Flora looked around the room trying to find Dr. Gleason.
"Opa," she started. "Dad never said anything about those stories being real, neither did Grumps."
"Pfft," Jakob waved his hand in the air. "Those spötters. The elves are real, I tell you."
"It's okay, Opa," Flora said, patting his knee. "I believe you."
Jakob grabbed her hand.
"That's why I wanted you to come," he said, an urgency in his voice that worried Flora. "I want you to get something for me."
"Yes, of course," she said as she gently stroked the back of his withered hand. "Anything."
Once again Jakob scanned the room for eavesdroppers, then whispered to Flora what she was to do.
That evening, Flora studied the item Jakob asked her to retrieve from her father's attic. A plain box with weathered letters painted on the side, "Schumacher 1802." Inside was a collection of well-used, wooden shoe forms. The name of a customer, "Menard," written on the side of one mold.
"Find my old shoe box – the one that has all the wooden shoe form in it, the ones I got out when I would tell you stories – and bring it to me here," he said. "Before you do, take molds out and leave them overnight. Put out a small plate of treats – cheese, bread and hard sausages – and a stein of ale also. Do this every night until you come visit again. When you bring me the box later, tell me what happened."
Spread across her coffee table were the wooden molds and a tray of food.
"I can't make up a story, he'd know I'm lying," Flora said to herself that night. "If I tell him the truth that nothing happened, it will devastate him. Maybe I'll have a better plan in the morning."
The following week, Flora waited in the lobby at Lakeside waiting to talk to Dr. Gleason, the wooden shoe box resting on her lap.
As they walked toward Jakob's room, Gleason warned Flora about her Opa's downward turn.
"He is very confused today," Gleason said. "After you left last week, his condition quickly reverted to its usual cognitive state. He will probably not recognize you."
"Can I still leave this for him?" Flora indicated the box she was carrying. "He was very adamant about it the last time I was here."
"Jakob has never shown any violent tendencies, toward himself or others," Gleason said. "I feel that it would be comforting to him, even if he doesn't recognize why."
"Hello," Jakob said as they entered his room, seemingly not recognizing either of them.
"Jakob," Gleason said. "You have a visitor, and she has brought you a gift."
Flora moved into the room, placing the box on top of a dresser near Jakob's bed. Taking a seat beside Jakob, she looked up at Gleason.
He nodded as if giving her permission to speak.
"Opa, it's Flora," she began. "Dr. Gleason said you might not remember me."
She shook her head, unsure how to proceed.
"I brought you the shoe box you wanted," she said, a strangled sob cracking her voice. "I just want you to know, I believe."
She studied his face for some sign of understanding.
"I did what you asked," she continued. "I put out the molds and the food. I don't know if this will make sense to you, but I really do believe. I… I saw them."
Flora looked over at Gleason again, then back to her grandfather.
"That is all you can do for now," Gleason said.
As Flora rose from her chair, Jakob took her hand.
"Thank you for coming," he said. "It was nice meeting you."
"I'll be back next week," she said, giving his hand three quick squeezes.
When she leaned in to kiss his cheek, she saw the briefest twitch of a smile and a quick wink.
"The magic is real," Jakob whispered.
"I love you, Opa," Flora said, not giving away his secret.
As she drove home later that day, Flora planned to stop at the grocery store for more cheese and beer.

I absolutely love this one! I love the idea of fairy tales spanning generations. I fully believe in fairies, even though its been a while since one has visited me. Perhaps I should start taking walks again.
Thank you, Stephanie! I like to imagine that the dragonflies that are so prevelant in Florida are retired fairies.

Het Bar Hill Fort was een Romeins fort, dat deel uitmaakte van de Muur van Antoninus, gelegen 0,6 kilometer ten oosten van Twechar in de Schotse regio East Dunbartonshire.

Beschrijving
De Romeinse keizer Antoninus Pius liet in 142 starten met de bouw van de ruim zestig kilometer lange Muur van Antoninus. Het Bar Hill Fort is een van de zeventien forten die ongeveer om de drie kilometer werden opgetrokken langs de muur. Het Bar Hill Fort is het hoogst gelegen fort van deze forten en kon 480 manschappen huisvesten.

Het fort ligt zo'n zestig meter ten zuiden van de Muur van Antoninus en is 112 bij 114 meter groot. Het fort werd verdedigd middels een omwalling van turf en twee greppels aan de oostelijke, zuidelijke en westelijke zijde. Aan de noordzijde bevond zich slechts één greppel. Bij opgravingen tussen 1902 en 1905 door Macdonald en Park werden onder andere de fundamenten blootgelegd van een graanschuur, van barakken, van een badhuis en van een gebouw, dat diende als hoofdkwartier van het fort. Op de binnenplaats van het hoofdkwartier werd een put van dertien meter diep ontdekt.

De Romeinen verlieten het Bar Hill Fort in de late tweede eeuw. Hierbij werd het fort vernietigd en spullen die niet de moeite waard waren om mee te nemen werden in de put geworpen.

Het badhuis was een rechthoekig gebouw met van west naar oost een kleedruimte en latrine, een frigidarium en drie warme ruimtes (caldarium), waarbij de meest oostelijke de warmste ruimte was. Aan deze zijde van het gebouw bevond zich dan ook de oven, die werd gestookt aan de buitenzijde van het badhuis.

Bij het badhuis werd een vuilnisbelt gevonden in de vorm van een kuil van drie meter diep en vijf meter breed. Hierin werden onder andere oude laarzen gevonden, gebroken aardewerk en elf menselijke hand- en voetbotjes. Wellicht zijn deze botjes de restanten van amputaties.

Het Bar Hill Fort wordt beheerd door Historic Scotland.

How well placed is Devon Kindergarten to promote positive learning outcomes for children?
Devon Kindergarten is one of 16 kindergartens managed by the North Taranaki Kindergarten Association (the association). The association governing board is responsible for setting overall strategic and policy direction for the organisation. Senior teachers are employed by the association to support teaching and learning.
The service is licensed for 34 children aged from two to five years. Children enrol from a wide geographical area and most transition to four neighbourhood schools. The kindergarten is situated in New Plymouth and enjoys, through the Heart Health programme, a close relationship with adjacent Devon Intermediate. Four qualified and registered teachers are employed.
A philosophy that values respectful relationships, celebrates the child as a unique individual and acknowledges the importance of language, culture and identity is evident in teachers' practice. The natural environment, including a newly designed outdoor space, provides challenge for children and encourages exploration.
The kindergarten has a positive reporting history with ERO. Areas for development in the August 2010 ERO report have been considered thoughtfully and responded to positively.
This review was part of a cluster of eight kindergarten reviews in the North Taranaki Kindergarten Association.
Board members undertake regular training and have developed useful processes to support governance roles and responsibilities. The senior teacher provides ongoing support and guidance for teachers. She promotes regular professional development opportunities and useful systems that are focused on positive outcomes for children.
Children, parents and teachers contributed to the kindergarten's in-depth review of the philosophy and vision for the future. Everything that happens, from planning and assessment, working with parents, and ongoing self review is linked in meaningful ways to improve practice.
Children persevere and sustain their interest in chosen activities. Teachers encourage them to lead and engage in conversation. Information and communication technologies are used confidently throughout the day. Children have many opportunities to read, write and explore number. Teachers know the children well and respond positively to individuals. Children with special needs are actively supported to engage with others and with learning.
Relationships among children, parents and teachers are happy and mutually respectful. Parents' aspirations for their children are more clearly expressed following a review of planning and assessment. Learning stories record children's progress and development at kindergarten and at home. Planning follows the child's current and developing interests and shows how teachers intend to respond. Parents actively engage in the curriculum through daily conversation with teachers and joining their children in the programme. Children's diverse cultural backgrounds are celebrated and enjoyed by the kindergarten families.
Teachers take a deliberate approach to including children's language, culture and identity, especially those of Māori, in the curriculum. Relationships and partnerships for learning are well considered as a result of ongoing self review. Teachers integrate their knowledge of te ao Māori through the programme and continue to build their own capability. The initiative to grow links with iwi is likely to result in further, positive outcomes for children and their families.
Children engage in imaginative play with a wide range of resources to support their interests. They are confident and independent. Teachers' commitment to children's holistic development and sense of belonging is evident in the interactions between adults and children.
Self review follows a sound process with parents playing a key role. A good level of response is achieved. Contributions are reflected in changes made recently to children's portfolios, planning and assessment. Teachers are motivated to lead new initiatives and achieve the service's goals. The head teacher encourages shared leadership and focuses on improvement.
Children's social and emotional wellbeing is a high priority for teachers as children transition to school. Supportive information, reciprocal visits and sharing information from portfolios are part of the process. Particular attention is given to seamless transition for children with more complex needs.
leading curriculum-based, capable early childhood learner conversations with schools to enhance children's transition.
The association should continue to review appraisal and consider formal critique of teaching practice and feedback processes to improve teaching and learning.
The next ERO review of Devon Kindergarten will be in three years.

It was established on 1st July 1970, through parliament act no. 12 of 1970 and all the enabling legal instruments of the constituent colleges.
It was established with three main objectives, namely:
To transmit knowledge as a basis of action, from one generation to another;
To act as a centre for advancing frontiers of knowledge through scientific research; and
To meet the high level human resource needs of the Tanzanian society.
In 1961, the University started with the Faculty of Law. It expanded over the years with the establishment of the numerous Faculties and Institutes. It established a number of Colleges, some of which were later evolved into independent fully-fledged universities.
In 1963, a School of Medicine was established within the premises of the then Princess Margaret Hospital. In 1968 the School became a Faculty of Medicine of the University College of Dar es Salaam, a constituent college of the University of East Africa. With the creation of the University of Dar es Salaam in 1970, the Faculty became the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Dar es Salaam. In July 1991 the Faculty of Medicine was upgraded into a constituent collegeof the University of Dar es Salaam - the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS). The umbrella act for universities – The Universities Act number 7 of 2005 paved the way in 2007 for the elevation of MUCHS into a fully-fledged university - theMuhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS).

CNBC News Releases
CNBC TRANSCRIPT: CNBC'S LARRY KUDLOW SPEAKS WITH REPRESENTATIVE JEB HENSARLING (R-TX) ON CNBC'S "THE KUDLOW REPORT" TONIGHT
Published Wed, Nov 16 20118:05 AM EST
Steffane Marchese
WHEN: Tonight, Tuesday, November 15th at 7PM ET
WHERE: CNBC's "The Kudlow Report"
Following is the unofficial transcript of Larry Kudlow's interview with Representative Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) tonight on CNBC's "The Kudlow Report." All references must be sourced to CNBC.
Super Committee: 8 Days & Counting
LARRY KUDLOW, host: But we begin tonight with our top story, eight days and counting, and breaking news. Moments ago the supercommittee broke up for the ninth--for the night with no new deal. I want to ask, is a high tax supercommittee compromise going to damage the economy even more? Is this kind of compromise really worth it. So joining us now is the committee's co-chair, Jeb Hensarling, Republican of Texas. He also chairs the House Republican Conference. Jeb Hensarling, thank you. I know you're super busy and I know you're working on the supercommittee, but I want to ask you about the threat of super tax hikes that could sink the economy.
Representative JEB HENSARLING: Not going to happen, Larry. I mean, listen, we're facing a jobs crisis and a debt crisis. We're certainly not to going to exacerbate one by trying to address the other. Frankly, that's one of the reasons that we are somewhat stymied at the moment. We all know, in fact, President Obama said the drivers of our debt crisis are Medicare, Medicaid, and health care spending. Nothing else comes close, but the Democrats won't put a plan on the table to solve the problem. And anything they do that even remotely addresses health care, even superficially, they're insisting upon a trillion dollar tax increase on the worst economy since the Great Depression. It's not going to happen. I mean, Republicans have countered. We have put real plans on the table that would actually save and secure Medicare, not just for my parents but for my children. And we have come forth, frankly, with a very good faith offer of putting some tax revenue on the table but only if we do it in a pro-growth fashion to broaden the base, bring down rates, which is what every, frankly, other bipartisan effort has done. That would help unleash pro-growth economics by one study. Now you could get as many as a half a trillion dollars in dynamic revenue...
KUDLOW: But, Congressman, I--I'm all for that. And by the way, I was willing to live with the Pat Toomey deal.
Rep. HENSARLING: Well, good.
KUDLOW: But I want to ask you, is The Wall Street Journal report this morning wrong? They're telling about $300 billion in revenues up front, another $500 billion in revenues later. They say Republicans are looking at this bill and we'll really get nothing for it. On balance, that would be one of the biggest tax hikes in history. Can you say categorically to us this evening that that deal is a nonstarter, that there will be no 300 billion up front and another 500 billion to determine later? Is it off the table?
Rep. HENSARLING: Well, Larry, all I can tell you, as the co-chairman of the committee, I don't know what agreement you're talking about. It certainly hasn't been presented to me.
KUDLOW: That's what The Journal reported this morning. It's what The Journal reported this morning.
Rep. HENSARLING: Well, all I can do is repeat it. I didn't--I hate to insult the people at The Journal. I didn't read their newspaper today. I'm unaware of this. So since I'm the co-chairman, I think if their--if it was out there, I would know about it, and all I can do is repeat myself and say it's not going to happen. We, listen, we have gone as far as we fell we can go. On balance, we've got to make sure we're helping the economy. There's a legitimate jobs crisis out there. And so, again, we put $250 billion of what is known as static revenue on the table, but only if we can bring down rates. We believe we can bring the top individual rate down to 28, 29, maybe at most 30 percent, bring the corporate rate down to the median of the EU, 25 percent. And on balance, we think that would be pro growth. But, listen, any penny of increased static revenue is a step in the wrong direction. We can only balance that with pro-growth reforms. And, frankly, the Democrats have never agreed to that.
KUDLOW: Well, where are the...
Rep. HENSARLING: So I don't know how many times I can tell you is that that agreement's not going to happen, it's never been presented to me.
KUDLOW: All right. I'm going to take you at face value. I appreciate the honesty because everybody's been worried about that. I mean, I've been on the phone today. Conservatives are worried about it. Republicans are worried they're going to lose their message.
Rep. HENSARLING: Well...
KUDLOW: People in the stock market are worried that it's going to damage the outlook for the economy. So let me ask you the follow-up question, which is easy. Where are the super spending cuts because I don't see much talk even about any spending cuts, and what I see would be, you know, one-to-one, spending cut for revenue hike, that kind of thing.
Rep. HENSARLING: Well, again, there are certain revenues that are non-tax revenues. I think most people, for example, would want to increase the guarantee fees for Fannie and Freddie. We know that PBGC is underfunded, so part of this is fees. Part of it, again, we believe there's a dynamic revenue feedback. But listen, I'm disappointed. I mean, what passes for spending discipline around here, as you well know, is simply, you know, preventing the rate of increase in government spending. And again, if we don't address Medicare and Medicaid and health care--and, again, it's not just me saying it, the president of the United States says it--we will fail in our statutory duty. We have a duty to put forth legislation that actually addresses this. So again, if we can't get any type of reforms in health care, which has helped driving the nation towards insolvency, then, no, there's no reason to, frankly, to put any static revenues on the table.
KUDLOW: Well, all right. If you can't dent the health care problem, if you can't dent Obamacare, if you're looking at these tax hikes, I would say--I mean, what's wrong, pull the trigger for the across the board spending cuts sequester. Why not pull that trigger? Trillion dollars, 1.2 trillion, that's OK. At least it's lower spending.
Rep. HENSARLING: Well, Larry, a couple of important points. You're right, a lot of people don't realize $1.2 trillion of deficit reduction is going to happen anyway. We'd prefer to do it in a smarter fashion. And the 1.2, frankly, half of that is aimed at national security. Leon Panetta, our secretary of defense, says that will hollow out our defense. So, number one, I would be committed to keeping the 1.2. We've got 13 months to find a smarter way to do it. I think the cuts that are aimed at defense, frankly, go too far. But this is one--this is a very important point that you make. You know, if the 1.5 isn't met, there's a 1.2 backstop right there. That's...
KUDLOW: And what matters is 2013. The all the out year stuff for defense and non-defense will be fixed later with the new Congresses, new presidents and whatnot. At least grab off some spending reduction.
Rep. HENSARLING: Well, again, Larry, something is better than nothing. We are trying to get the Democrats to agree to any spending reductions whatsoever. But, again, we've got a jobs crisis. We've got a debt crisis. Republicans will do nothing to exacerbate the job crisis in order to deal with the debt crisis. And again, as a nation, we're just kicking the can down the road and we don't have that much road left until we fundamentally figure out how we're going to get quality health care, quality retirement security at a cost that doesn't mortgage our children's future.
KUDLOW: All right. All right. We'll leave there. A super congressman, Jeb Hensarling, who is the co-chair of the supercommittee. Thank you, Mr. Hensarling. We appreciate your time very much, sir.
Rep. HENSARLING: Thank you, Larry.

TV viewing and online social interactions are linked for 23.9 percent of U.S. adult internet users, according to brand strategy and marketing company Ring Digital. That's the percentage of people who say they have voted, posted, shared, or commented on a TV show on social media in the past month. Only 9.0 percent say they do so frequently, however, suggesting that multitasking in front of the TV isn't all that popular.
Of the few people who turn to social networks while watching TV, the vast majority—71.6 percent—posted to Facebook. That was followed by 33.8 percent commenting on YouTube, 32.0 percent on Instagram, and 29.0 percent on Snapchat. What about Twitter, which seems tailor-made for live TV commenting? Only 23.5 percent of the already small group who turns to social media to talk about TV uses Twitter. That's a decline of 0.4 percent in the past 6 months, the report says.
Another surprise in the report is that commenting on sports is on the decline. While Twitter's trending topics are full of sports subjects whenever a game is on, Ring Digital finds that the percentage of people commenting on sports programming has declined steadily for the past year-and-a-half. Viewers were more likely to comment on news or drama.
The numbers cited here come from Google and Survata surveys conducted in March. For more data, download "The Social TV Index, 6th Edition" for free (registration required).
Premiere Pro video editors now have a built-in tool that takes the difficulty out of multi-platform posting and building a following online.


Welcome to The Little Brown Church.
The first settlers came to the Bradford area in 1848 and with an abundant water supply and virgin timber, the town grew. By 1855 the first members of the Puritan-Congregational Church had begun holding meetings. By 1856, Bradford had 500 residents and was the first town in this part of Iowa. Read More.

As I said in my last post, the Spring Bank Holiday weekend proved to be interesting.
I went to an excellent gig on the Sunday night where Leatherat, a folk-rock band from Banbury, were playing their new album "Uprising" in its entirety together with guests who'd played on the album.
First on the main stage were Highway Alaska, a fairly new rock band from Banbury, who are doing very well and have already played in Birmingham and London. The first two shots are of Luke, who is also a solo performer as a singer/song-writer and their bassist, who for some reason had turned up in a penguin suit (literally) and reminded me of Pingu.
..I'll update the title when someone on Facebook tells me his name!
Taken from the side of the stage after I got out of the way once the moshing started!

Traditionally, bridesmaids wore the exact same dress, shoes, and accessories. For many modern brides this is a little too cookie cutter for their wedding style and partially, I think, they don't want to lose any of their girlfriends over a bad bridesmaids dress. Brides are now being more open to variety, not only with the dress style but also with different shades or even with different color choices all together!
Styles can vary from different necklines; halter, strapless, sweetheart, etc, to different lengths and waistline styles. This is not only popular, but also allows for each girl to pick a style that fits their body type perfectly…so everyone in the wedding party will exude confidence and feel their very best, while also contributing to the attire choices.
Accessories and shoes style is also changing depending on the wedding venue and theme. It's often common for sandals or flip-flops to be worn for beach or Lowcountry style ceremonies and cowboy boots are completely acceptable for a country theme wedding.
Bridesmaids no longer have to dread wearing their "chosen" attire or dress, but can now have more input and have fun picking out their own dress to suite their personal style, body type, and comfort zone!

Hurtigruten Expeditions unveils 'record-breaking' 2023-24 season
On April 8, 2022 By antonio.pascale88@gmail.com
Hurtigruten Expeditions has launched its 2023-24 cruises, with more than 150 different itineraries representing the most extensive range in its history.
The programme features voyages to the Galápagos, Antarctica, Arctic, Alaska, west Africa, the Caribbean and the Canary Islands.
There are four different, year-round itineraries in the Galápagos Islands aboard the newly upgraded MS Santa Cruz II in collaboration with Metropolitan Touring, in which Hurtigruten Group recently acquired a 24.9% stake.
Year-round expedition cruises are on offer to Norway and the Arctic, with departures from Hamburg and Dover on MS Otto Sverdrup and MS Maud.
For Antarctica, there are 34 different departures – the cruise line's largest ever offering on the continent – with three ships exploring Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
Also featured is a series of pole-to-pole expedition cruises and more off-the-beaten-track Alaska expedition cruises, plus Svalbard in the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland and the Chilean fjords.
Leading up to the 2023-24 season, the size of the expedition team on all Hurtigruten Expeditions' ships will be increased and more expedition equipment will be added.
It means passengers can choose from a wider range of activities, such as kayaking, hiking, lectures and science projects.

CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR STUDIES OF SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY AND CANCER IN THE CONTEXT OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. Memory formation and cognitive processes that rely on activity-dependent synaptic plasticity are affected by local protein synthesis and shaping of the synapses. Synaptic inputs dictate the time, place and amount of protein synthesis necessary for the single synapses. Dysregulation of these mechanisms leads to spine dysmorphogenesis and to a variety of neuropathological conditions including the most common form of inherited mental retardation, the Fragile X syndrome (FXS), which is due to the absence or mutation of a single protein, FMRP. FMRP is involved in multiple steps of neuronal messenger RNA metabolism such as transport, stability and local. Our work, as well as the work of others, has shown that Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Schizophrenia (SCZ) as well as Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are linked to FMRP function.
We aim at identifying molecular pathways that are impaired in FXS and other disabilities such as ASD and SCZ using mouse and fly models as well as cell lines from patients. One of our major goals is to understand the regulation of synaptic protein synthesis and actin remodeling during brain development in physiological and the above-mentioned pathological conditions. We believe that the knowledge we acquire examining molecular mechanisms at the synapses will offer a major inroad into the understanding of processes that govern not only learning and memory, but also human behavior and neurodegenerative diseases that arise from malfunctioning synapses "synaptopathies". Ultimately we aim, with the use of different mouse and fly models, stem cells and in collaboration with clinical researchers, to develop possible pharmacological approaches to modulate some aspects of FXS, ASD and SCZ.
A few clinical reports showed a decreased risk of cancer and neuroprotection in individuals with Fragile X. We have recently showed that FMRP levels correlate with prognostic indicators of aggressive breast cancer and metastasis. We have also identified key molecules involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition and metastases formation, which are targeted at the mRNA level by FMRP. We are currently working on the molecular mechanisms conserved between cancer progression and neuronal development and exploring the possibility to identify potential therapeutic targets hindering metastasis dissemination.
16/07/2015 - The discovery that it might also contribute to FXS, a neurodevelopmental disorder occurring at a young age, is remarkable.

The High Court has recently shed new light on the extent to which directors can draw comfort from and rely on professional advice in the context of satisfying the company's statutory obligations. The decision clarifies the steps that the courts will expect directors to have taken to avail themselves of a defence that they took "all reasonable and proper steps" to procure the company's compliance.
While the decision concerned the Financial Reporting Act 1993, similarly worded defences appear in legislation such as the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993.
that all reasonable options had been exhausted.
Directors of Apple Fields Limited were charged by the FMA under the Financial Reporting Act with failing to file financial statements and an auditor's report for consecutive financial years. Apple Fields' accountant had advised the directors that the group accounts could not be completed without including the accounts of a deemed subsidiary. Despite the diligent efforts of the directors, those accounts could not be obtained. No financial statements were therefore submitted as the directors believed that such statements would not comply with generally accepted accounting practice. The High Court considered whether the directors could rely on a defence that they had taken "all reasonable and proper steps" by relying on the accountant's advice.
The High Court found that the directors had not taken all reasonable and proper steps. The directors knew that Apple Fields was in breach of the Financial Reporting Act. In those circumstances, they were required not only to take all practical steps to ensure compliance but also to seek "comprehensive legal and/or accounting advice as to the range of options available to them when those practical steps did not bear fruit". The most obvious step to take would have been to seek legal advice. The directors had not done so, and had accepted the accountant's advice without further enquiry. The Apple Fields directors' positions could be distinguished from those of the directors of Feltex in an earlier case, who had obtained and relied on advice that the company was compliant. In this case, the directors' honest reliance on the accountant's advice simply gave rise to the circumstances in which there was a knowing failure to comply with the company's statutory obligations.
While the Court did not expressly discuss the steps that the directors should have taken once they had obtained the "comprehensive legal and/or accounting advice", it follows that the directors would need to establish that any reasonable options identified in that advice had been exhausted in order to avail themselves of the "all reasonable and proper steps" defence.
In December last year, the High Court released its decision declining an appeal by Excelsior Markets Limited against the FMA's decision to remove it from the Financial Services Providers Register. The FMA had decided that Excelsior should be deregistered as it provided only an administrative function from its place of registration in New Zealand, with its substantive operations mainly provided outside of New Zealand to clients outside New Zealand. The FMA considered that Excelsior's registration was likely to create a false or misleading appearance that the provision of services from New Zealand to overseas clients was regulated by New Zealand law, which was not the case.
In Vivier, Justice Brewer held that the FMA was required to undertake an assessment of whether the company's registration on the Financial Services Providers Register misrepresented the extent to which it provided services in New Zealand, or the extent to which it was regulated in New Zealand. In Excelsior, Justice Nation held this assessment may not be necessary in all cases: where financial services were provided "almost wholly" outside New Zealand, that could provide a sufficient basis for a conclusion of misrepresentation.
In Vivier, Justice Brewer held that there would need to be evidence that the company's registration would damage the integrity and reputation of New Zealand's financial markets and/or law for regulating those markets. In Excelsior, Justice Nation did not regard such evidence as necessary, and would have been prepared to accept the view of the FMA (provided that it could be explained on a reasonable basis), due to the FMA's specialist knowledge as to how financial markets operate.
The Court of Appeal heard an appeal by the FMA of Justice Brewer's decision in Vivier last week, and it will be interesting to see the approach taken by the Court of Appeal on these issues.
A final point of interest to arise from Excelsior is Justice Nation's comments on the territorial scope of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009. While the Act does not specify a territorial scope, Justice Nation accepted that the Act did not apply to Excelsior, because it was not trading for the accounts of customers in foreign exchange in New Zealand.
The FMA shared some useful insight into certain aspects of its investigations in a presentation by Paul O'Neil to the Competition and Law Policy Institute of New Zealand. The speech covers the FMA's experience of bringing criminal proceedings in a commercial context, and sets out matters which the FMA takes into account when considering whether civil or criminal proceedings are an appropriate regulatory response.
Notably, the speech records several aspects of the FMA's current practice in relation to investigations. Mr O'Neil observed that the reality for the FMA has been that, at the investigation stage, it is usually not possible to adhere to a lesser "civil" standard. This is because at this stage it will generally not be possible or appropriate to pre-judge whether the conduct (and the evidence) will lead to bringing either civil or criminal proceedings.
issuing confidentiality orders over investigations.
A copy of the speech can be found here.
In a speech this month, Toby Fiennes, Head of Prudential Supervision, set out the Reserve Bank's regulatory plans for 2016 against the backdrop of a discussion about the importance of market discipline within the Reserve Bank's regulatory and supervisory framework. The speech developed the theme that prudential regulation in New Zealand must support the conditions required for effective market discipline, including good access to meaningful and timely information; having incentives in place so that market participants use the information; and having a competitive environment that lets investors and depositors shift between financial institutions. With this in mind, in the next 1-2 months the Reserve Bank will be consulting on a "dashboard" – a new form of electronic disclosure. Mr Fiennes' speech set out details of the Reserve Bank's current preferences for the dashboard.
creating a standing obligation to report breaches to the Reserve Bank, as soon as possible.

UK 'to release new 50p coin' to mark Brexit
By Sallyann Nicholls • Updated: 29/10/2018
Copyright Royal Mint
The UK is to create a new 50p coin to mark the island's exit from the European Union.
The UK Treasury announced the new piece after Chancellor Philip Hammond's Budget speech on Monday.
The commemorative coin will be inscribed with the words "Peace, Prosperity and Friendship With All Nations" and launched on March 29, the deadline for Brexit.
Dozens of commemorative designs for the 50p coin have been released to celebrate anniversaries and national events since its inception in 1969, including the United Kingdom's accession to the European Economic Community in 1973.
In 2016, the Royal Mint created a collected a collection of coins featuring characters from Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, marking 150 years since the British author's birth.
Commemorative designs have also been released to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Samuel Johnson's English dictionary (2005) and the 50th anniversary of the National Health Service (1998).
Commemorative coin plans slammed
News that a special Brexit edition of the fifty pence coin will be released drew ire and sarcasm alike on social media.
Twitter user Shaggy accused the British government of treating Brits like toddlers ahead of what could be a suspected economic crisis in March.
We get a coin, a party, lovely blue passports
Can't help thinking the Gvmt thinks the whole country are 7 year olds & can be distracted from the cancellation of all our trade deals with party bags
— Shaggy (@2015Shaggy) October 29, 2018
I can't say with any certainty precisely when UK politics mutated beyond parody or satire; but what I'm sure of is that this story - if true - proves we're well past the tipping point. ?
— RogerJarman (@pedanteric5) October 28, 2018
After a tweet by British newspaper The Sun, twitter user Mike mocked the Brexit coin's planned 'friendship' inscription given that the UK would be cutting political and economic ties with its European neighbours.
Britain left the EU ........and all I got was this lousy 50p

Hammond promises 'end to austerity' if UK negotiates Brexit deal with EU

Thomas Bubendorfer climbs new route up Großglockner after Dolomites accident
ALPINISMO MOUNTAINEERING
13 months after his life-threatening accident at Sottoguda in the Dolomites, Austrian mountaineer Thomas Bubendorfer has established a new mixed climb up on the South Face of Grossglockner (3798 m) in Austria.
The new route is called Das dritte Leben, The Third life, and Bubendorfer established the line with Max Sparber and Hans Zlöbl.
The life story of Thomas Bubendorfer is somewhat particular. Just over a year ago the Austrian alpinist, one of the best and most famous alpinists of the '80s, had a terrible, life-threatening accident while ice climbing the Dolomites, yet he now celebrates a return to his "third life" by climbing a new alpine route up Grossglockner in Austria.
In the '80s Bubendorfer became famous for his daring and spectacular free solos. He began his "career" aged a mere 18, when he shot onto the scene in the summer of 1980 by soloing the famous Philipp - Flamm route up the NW Face of Mount Civetta in the Dolomites in a mere 4 hours. Aged 20 he soloed the North Face of Les Droites, then doubled his takings by soloing the Walker Spur on Grandes Jorasses. He achieved his masterstroke on 27 July 1983 when he soloed the classic Heckmair route up the North Face of the Eiger in just 4 hours 50 minutes; an astonishing time that stood for 20 years before it was bettered by Christoph Hainz. In 1986 Patagonia granted him only four days of good weather but all he needed was a 23-hour weather window to ascend and descend from Fitz Roy on his own. These ground-breaking ascents were followed by numerous other spectacular climbs often in front of rolling cameras, as for example his 1988 Dolomites five big faces enchainment project. In a single day he made free solo ascents of Via Cassin up Cima Ovest di Lavaredo, Via Comici - Dimai up Cima Grande, the Innerkofler route up Cima Piccola, Schwalbenschwanz plus its Don Quixote variation up the South Face of Marmolada and Via Niagara up Sasso Pordoi. The helicopter used to travel from one mountain to the next and the film crews undoubtedly did their part in fuelling the purists' criticisms, but there could be no doubt as to Bubendorfer's outstanding ability as a climber and alpinist.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly for Bubendorfer, but a few months later all this suddenly ground to a halt when, while filming for a TV commercial at his local Liechtenstein Klamm crag, he took a 20 meter ground-fall. Bubendorfer, however, was indescribably lucky, he broke only his wrist, 9 vertebrae and the back of an ankle. And although doctors declared him 35% disabled and told him he would never climb a mountain again, he proved the exact opposite in 1991 with his amazing first solo ascent of the South Face of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America, via the Messner Direttissima in just 16 hours ...
What followed therefore was a phase that Bubendorfer defined as his "second life" which, unsurprisingly, revolved around mountain climbing but above all around a new awareness of the value of life itself. Then, on 1 March 2017, out of the blue came another tremendous stop: at Serrai di Sottoguda in the Dolomites he climbed an icefall, the famous Cattedrale, but during the rappel something went wrong and he fell 10 meters to the ground. His climbing partner rushed down to him, pulled him out of the river and when the rescuers arrived he was still conscious, but it was immediately clear that his condition was very serious indeed. Before being rescued Bubendorfer had inhaled water and due to the pulmonary complications he was transferred from Belluno hospital to Padua, for 6 long days he was placed in medically-induced coma. His life was at risk, his relatives even asked for a media blackout. But miraculously the 54-year-old survived, a short while later he was transferred from Italy to a hospital in Salzburg, from where he was eventually discharged.
Now, 13 months after that terrible day below the Marmolada, there's the news of this hitherto unclimbed line up the South Face of Austria's highest mountain. Bubendorfer teamed up with Max Sparber on 14 April, as well as his habitual climbing partner Hans Zlöbl. The route offers "good mixed climbing via a logical line" and the trio breached difficulties up to M8, but this is nothing more than a minor detail. The new route is called, for obvious reasons, Das dritte Leben, The Third Life.
