For the next installment in our Philosophy of Science series, we look at issues around data. Sabina Leonelli is a philosopher of information who collaborates with bioinformaticians. In today's interview, she expresses her concerns about the terms Big Data and Open Data.
"I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of this expression, 'Big Data,'" she says at the outset of the show.
Using data in science is, of course, a very old practice. So what's new about "big" data? Sabina is mostly concerned about the challenges of bringing data together from various sources. The biggest challenge here, she says, is with classification.
"Biology is fragmented in a lot of different epistemic cultures . . and each research tradition has different preferred ways of doing things," she points out. "What I'm interested in is the relationship between the language used and the actual practices. And there appears to be a very strong relationship between the way that people perform their research and the way in which they think about it. So terminology becomes a very specific signal for the various research traditions."
Sabina goes on to point out that the nuances of specific research traditions can be lost as data is integrated with other traditions. For instance, most large bioinformatics databases are done in English, whereas some of the individual research data may have been originally done in another language.
This becomes especially important with the new movement toward Open Data, where biases are built into the databases.
"The problem resides with the expectation that what is 'Open Data' is all the data there is," she says.
In fact, the data in Open Data tends to come from databases which are highly standardized and often from the most powerful labs.
How can bioinformaticians deal with these challenges? Sabina says researchers should be more diligent about creating "a story" around their data. This will help make the biases more transparent. She also says that a lot of conceptual effort must go into creating databases from the outset so that the data might be used for yet unknown questions in the future.
We finish the interview with her thoughts on the Quantified Self movement.

The Silver-washed Fritillary is a woodland butterfly whose larvae feed on violets (Viola spp.). It tolerates a greater degree of shade than other violet feeding fritillaries and its decline has generally been less severe (For further details on this species see http://www.butterfly-conservation.org/).
This species was showing a steady increase up until 1996. In 1998 it experienced the biggest drop in numbers since the 1977 crash that followed the drought of 1976. There was no drought in 1997 and the reasons for this second big drop are not known. Since 1998 numbers have increased again and the overall trend is of significant increase. This is a butterfly that has been expanding its range north and eastwards and has now been recorded on more different transects than any other fritillary in the UK, although these are greatly condensed in the south-west.
In total, Silver-washed Fritillary has been recorded from 405 transects in the Butterfly Monitoring Scheme. Of these, annual indices of abundance have been calculated from 420 sites, with an average index of 19 individuals per site.
For 201 of these sites, Silver-washed Fritillary has been recorded well enough to calculate annual indices of abundance in more years, allowing trends to be calculated.
In 2018, 11768 individuals were recorded from 220 sites, producing annual indices at 180 of these.


L.C: What we learnt from the space dome.
Today 5EN experienced the space dome where we learnt about the planets, astronauts, ISS and meteorites. We learnt that there are 8 planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. We also learnt there is a star even bigger than the sun that is due to explode. It is called Beetle Juice which is found in M51, Orion constellation. We learnt that if you were to try to walk on Jupiter, Saturn or Uranus you would fall through because they are made up of gasses.
A fun fact we learnt was that Buzz Light–year was named after Buzz Aldridge the astronaut.
At the end, we watched a film showing us the whole of the solar system, it was amazing. Our favourite video was of Tim Peake showing us what happened to water in space. He also did an experiment putting fizzy tablets in the water bubble and showed the reaction it made.


I want to invite anyone who may be thinking about running for the O'Fallon City Council to attend this meeting. We are going to go over information that may be important to those interested in representing the citizens of O'Fallon, including requirements of the position, elections, and the structure of the City Council. We will have a number of openings during the next year, and the City Council needs good candidates that are interested in the future of the community.
If you are/were not able to attend the meeting, I invite you to come to City Hall to talk to me about any of the items covered.
On a different note, I want to touch upon last week's 4th of July celebration and the use of fireworks. A majority of fireworks are prohibited in the city of O'Fallon. The O'Fallon Public Safety Department responded to 142 requests for service and two fires related to fireworks over an eight-day period (July 1-8) this year. That was slightly over last year's 138 calls for service over the same eight-day period.
Our officers use their best discretion when responding to calls for fireworks. Compliance is the goal and warnings are preferred, but if necessary, our officers will issue citations.

Do Pheromones Play Role In Your Sexual Life
If you've never heard of pheromones it is time to learn about the part they play in your sex life. The concept of a human pheromone, or sexual scent of attraction, has been debated and researched for years.

We have not actually resorted to roundabout means of getting our message on pheromones and sexual attraction through to you. All the matter here is genuine and to the point.

CONCLUSION: The present investigation was aimed to study the quorum sensing principle among seaweed epibiotic bacterial organisms. In the past few decades there was no findings of new novel antibacterial class compounds were identified. But, the pathogenic microorganisms show much higher rate of resistant development even to the potential antibiotics. So, there is an urgent need to discover new novel antibiotic compounds. The marine inhabitants such as microorganisms, seaweeds, invertebrates, etc., act as an undepleted source of wide range of natural products among which the seaweeds act as a potential source of antibiotic compounds. Currently the cross species induction / quorum sensing attracts the total attention of researchers in finding new novel drugs against multidrug resistant pathogenic microorganisms. So, the present study aim to find out the capability of seaweed epibiotic bacterial organisms to produce novel drugs against the animal and plant pathogens

In concluding this discussion, the quorum sensing is wider spread among bacterial population then was previously thought, (In Gram positive, Gram negative bacterial communication). Current assays for antimicrobial activities are inadequate because some antibiotic producing bacteria may require the presence of another bacterial species. These findings have important implication for the discovery of novel antimicrobial compounds from marine bacteria and may allow the development of new methods for screening novel compounds active against multidrug resistant bacteria.
All the above mentioned biochemical tests were performed by following standard methodology given in the Microbiological Laboratory Manual by James 3.Cappuccino (1999).

In the present investigation, it was aimed to produce the antibiotics from the seaweed epibionts through quorum sensing principle. The bacterial isolates of seaweed epibionts were identified as species of Pseudomonas and Vibrio from seaweeds Hypnea musiformis and Gracillaria edulis. In this study the Pseudomonas acts as a producer strain and Vibrio as inducer strain. The recent finding says that the seaweed epibionts having potential to control the metabolic activity of competitor organisms. Allison et al., 1998 reported that many bacterial strains up on attaching to a surface produce exopolysaccharides or exopolypeptides. In addition, it has been postulated that exopolysaccharides could mediate the attachment of the bacteria to the surface and induce metabolic changes.
In addition to intelligence, women men love are incredibly confident. The level of independence that comes with pursuing your goals can give you quite the confidence boost. Wearing your confidence (not conceited) like a badge can be the equivalent to spraying pheromones in a bar; just a few puffs and watch the men swarm! You will be so focused on celebrating your new found success that instead of reeking of desperation, you are now one of the women men love.
Using a brain imaging technique, Swedish researchers have shown that homosexual and heterosexual men respond differently to two odors that may be involved in sexual arousal, and that the gay men respond in the same way as women. The new research may open the way to studying human pheromones, as well as the biological basis of sexual preference.

Seaweeds itself secretes secondary metabolites to prevent fouling and grazing. In addition to that epibiotic bacteria on macro algae can also produce antifouling compounds that work in concert with the seaweed derived compounds to protect the seaweed surface. Recent studies have highlighted important roles of epibiotic bacteria colonizing the surface of seaweeds and releasing antifouling compounds. For the past 50 years antibiotics have revolutionized medicine by providing cures for formerly life threatening diseases. However, strains of bacteria have recently emerged that are virtually unresponsive to antibiotics such multidrug resistance, arising mainly through antibiotic misuse, is now recognized as a global health problem. In this situation, it is clear that new classes of antibiotics are urgently needed. Many marine bacteria have been shown to produce secondary metabolites that display antibacterial properties. The first antibiotic from a marine bacterium was identified and characterized in 1966. In addition, bacteria in biofilm on the surface of marine organisms have been documented to contain a higher proportion of antibiotic producing bacteria than some other marine environments (Burgess, et al., 1999). Marine epibiotic bacteria, associated with nutrient-rich algal surfaces have also been shown to produce antibacterial secondary metabolites which inhibit the settlement of potential competitors. Recently a lot new novel antibiotics such as Phenazine, thiomarinol, phenazine-1-carboxylic acid, 1-hydroxyphenazine 2-n-heptylquinol-4-one, 2-n-nonylquinol-4-one pyolipic, loloatins, agrochelin, sesbanimides, pelagiomicins, indomycione and indomycione have been identified from various marine epibiotic bacterial organisms. In particular, some species of the genus Pseudomonas produce both antibiotics and several other bioactive substances. For example, Pseudoalteromonas rubra and Pseudoalteromonas aurantia have been reported to be antibiotic producing bacteria. The phenomenon of higher organisms utilizing their associated microflora for the production of beneficial secondary metabolites is common in the marine environment (Yotsu, et al., 1987). A study of bacteria isolated from marine algae surfaces indicated that the incidence of antibiotic producing strains from this habitat was 20% whereas that from sea water was only a few percent. In addition, some bacteria that previously did not produce any active compounds have been found to be producing such metabolites when they are exposed to other bacterial species or extra cellular chemical from other bacteria. Bacteria may also produce antimicrobial compounds when they sense the presence of competing organisms. However, few attempts have been made to study such chemical communication between different bacterial species or how this might affect. The secretion of antimicrobial compounds (Mearns-Spragg, et al., 1998). Bacterial communication by the chemical signals for specific function is simply known as Quorum sensing. In which a bacterial population receives input from the environment and elicits an appropriate response (Hiroaki and Kristina. 2003). The term "quorum sensing" describes the ability of a microorganism to perceive and response to diffusible signal molecules. Bacterial cells sense their population density through a sophisticated cell to cell communication system and trigger expression of particular genes. Tne first system of density-dependent regulation was studied in detail with the luminescence of Photobacterium fischeri (formerly known as Vibrio fischeri) by Bassler et al., 1997. Eventually, they discovered that 3-oxo-N-(tetrahydro-2-oxo-3-furanyl) hexanamid or N-3-(oxohexanoyl) homoserine lactone (OHHL) was responsible the agent in the broth that induced luminescence. Followed by this many researchers have confirmed that in Gram negative bacteria acyl-homoserine lactone is responsible for the cell to cell communication system.

The alluring chemical scent that young women give off to attract men seems to provide the same effect for post-menopausal women. When the scientists added the scent, a pheromone, to perfume used by older women, their romantic lives seemed to improve, the researchers wrote in New Scientist magazine. The study was also published in the Journal of Sex Behavior. Study leader Joan Friebely and her colleagues applied the test to 44 post-menopausal women. Those who used the treated perfume found their partners to be more affectionate than those who used the normal perfume.

The results of Vanderivere and Kirchman 1993 suggest that the addition of increased surface by adding sand will induce the exopolymer synthesis through the high cell density dependent system. In the same way the bacterial organisms attached to the surface of seaweed shows alteration of genes expression may be due to the response to the high competitive environment. When cell density increases the competition for space and nutrients are also increased. So the existing bacteria were forced to protect themselves in this competitive environment. Normally in this condition the bacteria will be activated to induce the expression of certain hidden genes in genetic material through quorum sensing. The quorum sensing is principles were active compounds (autoinducer) from bacterial cell will promote the expression of a particular hidden gene of other bacterial organism in a stressed condition.
In the gram negative bacteria AHSL is an active principle of quorum sensing. Our producer strain is also been identified as Pseudomonas sps. So in these organisms also active principle must falls under the AHSL. The cell-cell signaling mechanism can either require import of the signal and subsequent interaction with intracellular effectors or a two-component signaling system that transducers the information across the membrane. In V. harveyi genetic analysis of the density sensing apparatus has two independent density-sensing systems, and each is composed of a sensor-auto inducer pair; system one is composed of sensor I and Al -1, and system two is composed of sensor 2 and AI-2. The two densities - sensing system are redundant, because a null mutation in either system alone results in expression of hidden genes (Bassler, et al.,1999.).
Pheromones in humans are believed to be produced by the apocrine glands. These glands become functional after reaching puberty, which could explain why most people develop an attraction for others at that time. Pheromones could also be the reason why a person can sense "chemistry", or feel an instant attraction or dislike when first meeting someone.

The collected seaweed samples were thoroughly washed with sterile seawater to removes the loosely attached bacteria/particles. Seaweed fronds were scrubbed with sterile cotton swabs to obtain epiphytic bacteria. Epiphytic bacterial organism in the swab were inoculated in sterile peptone broth (50% sea water) and incubated at 28??C in an incubated shaker (220 rpm / min) for overnight. After the incubation period the enriched cultures were serially diluted up to 10-8 concentration and 200 microlitre of each diluted samples were transferred into the nutrient agar plate (50% sea water). The plates were incubated at 28??C for 5 days and the plates with crowded colonies were selected. In the crowded plates those colonies, which showed the sign of inhibition zone around its margin to the neighboring colony, were selected and considered as producer strain. The neighboring sensitive colonies were treated as inducer strain. Both producer and inducer strains were streaked repeatedly until to get pure culture. The pure culture were properly labeled and subjected to the quorum sensing analysis.
The basic idea about pheromone mixes is that by adding products together, you can maximize their effectiveness. And, if you have a mix that simply does not work, don't put more stuff into it - it is unlikely that this will make it work. Most mixes are very simple - and made of two products only. Some popular mixes include Scent of Eros (contains androstenol) plus NPA (contains androstenone), or Androstenone Pheromone Concentrate (APC) plus New Pheromone Additive.
When you're looking for the man or woman of your dreams, unsuspecting pheromones in your body scent are most likely playing a large and very clever role in mate attraction. According to an article in "Psychology Today," how our body odors are perceived as pleasant and sexy to another person is a highly selective process. We usually smell best to a person whose genetically based immunity to disease differs most from our own. This could benefit you in the long run, making for stronger, healthier children.

When it comes to pheromone mixing, you must know that some pheromone products are oil-based and some are alcohol-based. For example Primal Instinct and Scent of Eros use oil, while The Edge and New Pheromone Additive use alcohol base. If you use an atomizer and even if you shake your atomizer there is a chance the products won't mix well. To be able to mix different pheromone products, you'll need a calibrated glass dropper. It's not expensive, and it is available at the nearest pharmacy. Some pheromone products are stored in a roll-on bottle, others sometimes even in an open mouth bottle, however, some products have an integrated dropper you can use.

Dr. Cutler's original studies in the '70s showed that women who have regular sex with men have more regular menstrual cycles than women who have sporadic sex. Regular sex delayed the decline of estrogen and made women more fertile. This led the research team to look for what the man was providing in the equation. By 1986 they realized it was pheromones.

A pheromone is any chemical or mixture of chemicals produced by a living organism that transmits a message to other members of the same species. The term "pheromone" is usually used for sexual attractants. There are some other pheromones - they act as signals for alarm and defense, territory and trail-marking, and social regulation and recognition. Pheromones are now being used in insect control, for example as bait to attract males to field traps or, in very high concentrations, to disorient insects and prevent mating.

The earlier genetic analysis in Pseudomonas reveals the Pseudomonas consist of two quorum sensing systems as Las R1-I and Rh1R-l and have linked with R and I genes, in addition recently a third Lux R homolog that is advanced to a cluster of quorum sensing - controlled (qsc) genes were detected. Las R is a transcriptional regulator that responses primarily to the Las I - generated signal and Rh1R is a transcriptional regularly that responses best to the Rhl -generated signal. In Pseudomonas auriginosa, at low population densities Las I produce a basel level of 3-O-C12-HSL. As density increases, 3-0-C12-HSL builds to a critical concentration, at which point interacts with LasR. This Las R -3-0-012-HSL complex that activates transcription of a number of genes [Whileley, et al., 1999].

When divorced co-parents who live in different states have a dispute regarding child custody, support or visitation, which state's courts will have jurisdiction over the matter will be determined first. This also applies to enforcement of current agreements as well as to requested modification to them.
Generally, one needs to file legal documents related to child support in the state where the non-custodial parent lives. However, sometimes parents who no longer live in Rhode Island receive motions or complaints filed here. For example, if you've never lived in Rhode Island, but your ex filed the papers here, RI state may not have any jurisdiction over the matter. At Moyer Law, PC, we can provide legal guidance to those parents. And regardless of which state they currently live in, if they need a Rhode Island attorney, we can help.
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act determines the location for the resolution of interstate custody disputes. Generally, the state where the children are living handles interstate custody disputes. Especially if they've been there for over six months. However, even if they don't live in Rhode Island, if they still have significant connections to the state, Rhode Island courts may still decide the resolution of the dispute.
Child support, custody and visitation issues can often be stressful and complex. And when you and your ex live in different states, they can be even more so. We are experienced in dealing with interstate family law cases. To find out more about our services, contact our interstate child support and custody lawyer at (401) 305-2934.


Expats often complain that Geneva is "too quiet" and doesn't offer much in terms of night-life or music gigs.
If you've heard this a million times before and would like to hear a different drummer, take a look at our interview with Paolo H. – one third of DJ & music events team Indie Nation. Their vision is simple and quite clear: bring glamorous Indie Rock'n'Roll back in town – can't say fairer than that, for sure.
ps: he was also kind enough to share his tips on the best watering holes, live-music and apéro bars in town …now where did I put the baby-sitter's phone number again… ??!
GFD: Where are you from?
IN: We are three curly-haired music lovers from different backgrounds. One expat Italian/French girl who grew up in South Africa (spot the identity crisis) and two Swiss/Italians guys who grew up right here in Switzerland (organized chaos).
IN: Indie Nation was brought together by the musical passion of 3 friends who were frustrated over the lack of alternative/indie rock options in Geneva and decided to stop complaining and do something about it.
We started with a facebook page where we shared daily inspirational songs, music news and created a music events calendar to keep readers informed about the many hidden musical events. Then we started our blog and added concert reviews, artist write-ups and monthly playlist.
Lastly, the best part: we started doing our own indie rock dj sets. And there's a lot more to come. The Liberation is all about waking up the sleeping indie rock culture of Geneva. We know that there are plenty like us tired of commercial disco music all over the place we want to be an open forum for all of them to exchange and share their passion about indie music and also make people aware of some the less talked about events.
GFD: How's the local music scene in Geneva ?
IN: The Geneva's music scene is quite fragmented. At first sight, there is not much happening and commercial 'chic' clubs seem to invest more on the appearance of the club then the quality of their music. You will find in essence the billboard top 40 (sometimes from a year ago) being played on an iPod and skipped every minute.
After a closer look however, a relatively well informed person can easily hang around in several places and listen to good live music and DJ-sets. Some favourites includes Le Chat Noir in Carouge, La Barje at the Parc de la Parle du Lac, summer party at Tropical Windsurfing, L'Omnibar at Omnibus.
We truly think that the best and most consistent music scene around Geneva is related to L'Usine (Le Zoo, Le KAB and Usine PTR) and Palladium. Notably, they are the center of the Electron Festival and they host quality concerts all year long (Carl Barat, The Horrors, XXXX during last months). There is also AMR for jazz lovers.
Then there are many festivals were smaller more intimate venues open their doors to welcome live bands to play such as Nebo Bar, Café des Sources, La Parenthèse (in Nyon), La Petite Reine, CIRKÜS Bar, Café de la Paix.
Geneva also has some great festivals, which take place nearby such as Paléo and Caribana in Nyon, Pully for Noise Festival (23rd-25th of August 2012), Cully Jazz Festival and Montreux Jazz Festival and this year the great new effort that was Antigel Festival in Geneva.
Last but not least, there is us: The Liberation !
GFD: Tips on the best place for a late-night drink in Geneva ?
IN: We recently discovered Le Kraken Bar in Plainpalais. We recommend it for quality music, affordable drinks and friendly staff. The whole street is packed with bars and people hanging around from Thursday through to Saturday. Love Le Kraken Bar – yes yes.
Café de la Paix is great if you feel like a nice bagel and some beers. They also have live music and art expo every now and again.
Our favourite trendy place is Le Bal des Créateurs. This uber-cool concept store, hairdresser, bookshop & bar has it all and has really cool people running the place on top of that !
GFD: And the best place for live music in Geneva ?
IN: As above: L'Usine where we have seen great bands such as Beach House, Caribou, Peter Doherty, Goose, Modeselektor and many more.
Also worth mentioning that if you don't mind travelling to get your good fix of live music Les Docks in Lausanne has amazing line-ups of artist passing through (Explosions in the Sky, Marina and the Diamonds, Ben Howard, M83, Two Door Cinema Club, The Kills) as well as D! Club (Selah Sue, Angus and Julia Stone, Anna Calvi, 2Many DJs).
GFD: Best apéro in town ?
IN: Tropical Windsurfing during the summer and Yvette de Marseille all year long. We also like to go to L'éléphant dans la canette in the winter to warm up with their special Zekhila shot.
GFD: Thank you so much for sharing your vision and great tips with us, our nights out in Geneva will definitely never be the same again.
IN: No problem, remember you can follow us on our blog The Liberation and our Facebook page.

Bad Idea: Eighteen Brits Kicked Off British Airways Flight in Tel Aviv After Threatening To "Blow Up The Plane"
A group of 18 British travelers were kicked off a British Airways flight from Israel after one passengers threatened to blow up the aircraft.
Even though this might have have been part of a (bad) joke the group allegedly also made antisemitic remarks about other passengers, and as a result all of them got kicked off and the main offender was lead away by security forces.
There are jokes and then there are really really bad jokes made at the wrong place and time. Considering how tight the security situation at Israel's airports is, I wouldn't recommend doing any sort of bomb threat jokes around there.
The Independent reported that doing just that didn't end well for the group en route to London.
A group of 18 British tourists were thrown off a plane in Israel after one of them allegedly threatened to blow up the aircraft.
One of the passengers, who were all men, was led away by security forces after being ejected from the British Airways jet at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.
Some of the group are also alleged to have made antisemitic jokes about other passengers after boarding the flight to London Heathrow on Sunday.
"After they sat down on the plane, one of the members of the group said he would blow up the plane," said the Israel Airports Authority in a statement issued to local media. "The captain informed the airline in London and received an order to remove the group from the plane."
Another passenger on the flight told The Independent he believed the bomb threat to have been "ill-judged humour". …
"If somebody did say something about blowing the plane up I think it will have been to the people immediately around them – it wasn't something that was shouted out. But it's not something that anybody in the right frame of mind would be saying on a plane anywhere."
Mr Andrews, who had been on holiday in Tel Aviv with friends, said the men thrown off the plane were "fairly well-dressed", appeared to be aged in their early- to mid-thirties, and seemed to be drunk. …
The 4.40pm (1.40pm GMT) flight was delayed for more than two hours as an airport security team swept the aircraft for explosives, but none were found. The plane took off at 7pm local time.
A British Airways spokesman said: "The safety and security of our customers and crew is always our top priority.
So not only did British Airways kick off the offenders (rightfully so) but then passengers were inconvenienced as an entirely new security sweep was required. Oh boy I'm sure the people on board weren't happy about this and many might as well have missed their connections in Heathrow.
Here is British Airways' Code of Conduct Policy out of the COC:
11 A – Behavior on the aircraft – Unacceptable behavior:
If, while you are on board the aircraft, we reasonably believe that you have:
put the aircraft, or any person in it, in danger
deliberately interfered with the crew in carrying out their duties
failed to obey the instructions of the crew relating to safety or security
failed to obey the seat-belt or no-smoking signs
committed a criminal offence
allowed your physical or mental state to become affected by drink or drugs
failed to obey the crew's instructions relating to drink or drugs
made a hoax bomb or other security threat
threatened, abused or insulted the crew or other passengers
behaved in a threatening, abusive, insulting or disorderly way towards the crew or other passengers or
behaved in a way which causes discomfort, inconvenience, damage or injury to the crew or other passengers
we [BA] may take any measures we think reasonable to prevent you continuing your behaviour. When the aircraft lands, we may decide to:
make you leave the aircraft
refuse to carry you on the remaining sectors of the journey shown on your ticket and
report the incident on board the aircraft to the relevant authorities with a view to them prosecuting you for any criminal offences you might have committed.
11 – B – Diversion costs caused by unacceptable behavior :
If, as a result of your behaviour, we divert the aircraft to an unscheduled place of destination and make you leave the aircraft, you must pay us the reasonable and proper costs of the diversion.
Quite clearly the COC are straight forward about the conduct that can lead passengers to get kicked off AND one could also conclude that the carrier might recoup associated costs from the offending passenger. That would be an expensive adventure!
The insults directed to other passengers alone would be a reason, as per the above, to eject someone from the plane prior to takeoff. Not sure how far you can go with that until this by itself is being enforced.
This was obviously the worst place and time to make such jokes (not that there would ever be a suitable point of time in claiming "I'm blowing this whole thing up" but I guess sometimes it slips through) – don't do it on the plane! And maybe don't do it at a place where you have plenty of security guards with machine guns, trained to instantly react to any terror threat.
British Airways was fully within their rights in this case to get rid of the passengers and have the authorities deal with them. I often say that flight crew abuses their authority on board but as soon as there is a verbal bomb threat then there's very little leeway. Kick 'em off!

"First Descriptions of Endoparasite Fauna of Elasmobranch and Mesopelag" by Mae Taylor, Harold E. Laubach et al.
Natural mortality is a poorly known aspect of fisheries biology, despite its importance in stock assessments and population analysis. Of potential sources of mortality and morbidity in fishes, the effect of internal parasites is perhaps the least studied even though these organisms are known to inhibit nutrient uptake and stimulate an inflammatory response in fish. Parasite taxa of the pelagic elasmobranchs silky and night sharks and pelagic stingray (Carcharhinus falciformis, C. signatus and Pteroplatytrygon violacea), and the mesopelagic teleosts sailfin lancetfish, oilfish, snake mackerel, escolar and Atlantic pomfret (Alepisaurus ferox, Ruvettus pretiosus, Gempylus serpens, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, and Brama brama) are described from the western North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Parasite taxa included cestodes, trematodes, acanthocephalans, and nematodes. Suggested protocol revisions to current accepted laboratory methods will enhance future parasite taxa descriptions from pelagic marine fishes. This work serves as the first parasite taxa and load descriptions for pelagic stingray, lancetfish, oilfish, snake mackerel, escolar and pomfret.

One might argue Gioia and Timpane's claims today, as print media seemingly loses floor, with technological developments in communications, and because the art of poetry and its society turns into increasingly associated with academia, thereby making it less user-friendly to the general public. But it's science as practiced in a tradition that has professionalized analysis into a profit-making enterprise. USA has pioneered in all fields of expertise and science; accomplishments of Britain and US know-how are in English, so it is extremely essential to know English to utilize such technology and science. The findings more than double the variety of identified protection mechanisms, piquing the interests of molecular biology instrument builders.
There are more than twenty-five information channels on air in Pakistan at the moment. With generous funding from Regeneron, the Society has expanded the attain of Science News in High Faculties to 4,000 additional public high colleges and public charter schools. Your membership promotes scientific literacy and offers millions of scholars opportunities to fall in love with science.
This discovery could result in news methods of decreasing the outbreak in people and have a significant affect on individuals's lives. Collaboration is among the keys to making African science soar: when the continent's universities work together, they can produce superb results. Simply donate any amount and never only will you expertise our site ad-free, however you will be a part of the Science X neighborhood mission to promote science and expertise knowledge.
But, given their anecdotal shortcoming, they spurt and spew unscientific rhetoric in documentaries and information casts. Now we have laid a lot emphasis on the development of science and know-how as a serious instrument for reaching nationwide objectives of self-reliance and socioeconomic progress. Upon deciding on a science translations company to work with, they are going to work closely with you to find out your wants and necessities.
It is a science in the sense that it wants full data of the structure, grammar, semantics, and syntax and typically the make-up of the two languages involved. So being the language of science technology and communication, in the age of the internet, English unfold so extensively, there has by no means been a language so broadly spread in so short a time as English.

Colorado's Sonic Bloom Music Festival invaded a small and beautiful valley in South Park this past weekend, drawing intrepid travellers from all over the state as well as the country. The four day festival began smoothly last Thursday with a line of cars turning down a small dirt road towards the camp grounds. The miniature city of tents, cars and RV's grew overnight and quickly enveloped and enclosed the festival stages and shops. The festival and camping areas were open and spacious, but were close enough together to ensure that shuttles wouldn't be needed and everything could be reached within minutes on foot.
The music started as the sky began to darken Thursday with the opening ceremony welcoming everyone officially to Sonic Bloom. Sunsquabi took to the Bloom Main Stage after that and got the festival officially started with some tasty jams. The music that night continued beautifully, with every set garnering large crowds all dancing and writhing together. Kaminanda and VibesquaD were the last two acts to come onto the Bloom Stage, creating a swirling sea of bodies all bouncing and thrashing as one. The pounding feet of the hundreds of festival goers threw up clouds of dust, therein revealing the profound downside to Sonic Bloom's new location. For all the beauty of its isolation, rolling hills and open fields, dust storms that swept through the festival put a small damper on things. Sonic Bloomers were not deterred in the slightest however, donning all sorts of bandanas, scarves, masks and goggles to protect themselves. Despite the dust, everyone's spirits and energy levels were soaring as night one of Sonic Bloom came to a close.
Day two saw a beautiful sunrise creep over the quiet green basin. The campsite slowly came to life as light invaded tents, hammocks and car windows. The smells of bacon, eggs and all kinds of breakfast foods began to permeate throughout the clusters of tents. As the day went on more and more people began to wander the grounds, shopping around at the merchandise booths or visiting friends at nearby campsites. Music began by 12:30 PM with Numatik on the small but incredibly beautiful Hummingbird Stage. The stage was wrought out of wood and inlaid with some incredible carvings, and at night the stage glowed a rainbow of colors that all blended into one another.
Friday continued with a multitude of artists who all threw down beats that the crowds ate up. Dyno Hunter, Zoogma and Ott. all blew up the Bloom Stage, dropping wild tempos that forced people into a tribe of dancing circus folk. They certainly warmed up that main stage for the headliners of Sonic Bloom, and The Polish Ambassador and Tipper certainly did not disappoint. Tipper opened for Polish with his first of two sets that weekend, playing an amazing downtempo set accompanied by gorgeous kaleidoscopic visuals by Johnathan Singer projected onto an enormous white sheet.
Tipper showed Sonic Bloom his skill as a producer and DJ, enveloping the crowd in his clicking and popping electro music. His music sways all over the musical spectrum, altering and changing as much as the visualizer behind him. The Polish Ambassador came on after Tipper's set to close the night and pump up the tempo, dancing like his usual goofy self in his highlighter yellow jumpsuit. He played more of a funky set, getting the crowd grooving again. While Polish was getting jazzy on the Bloom Stage, Kayla Scintilla was performing a more psychedelic set at the awesome CO Dome. That trippy vibe had also attracted a large crowd of people, filling the geodesic dome and the surrounding area. Both Polish and Kayla were great acts to end the night, closing out Friday with lots of flair and energy.
Saturday was another incredible day for music at Sonic Bloom. With Acorn Project kicking off the day on the Bloom Stage, the music began with some electro-funk that got everyone nice and loose for day three of the festival. The energy continued to climb with D.V.S., Signal Path and the Michal Menert Big Band on the Bloom Stage, all of whom blew the crowd away. At the CO Dome, Zion-I got the crowd jumping with their quick Hip-Hop rhymes, before giving the stage over to Paul Basic, Supervision and Michal Menert for a sweep of Pretty Lights Music vibes.
Meanwhile, Opiuo prepared the crowd for a second Tipper set on the Bloom Stage with some heavier electronic music that whipped the crowd into a frenzy. For this set Tipper used a huge and incredibly detailed three-dimensional stage setup to project his visuals onto. Android Jones' visuals were another maelstrom of color blends and churning pictures of different scenes and objects. This set was a lot more uptempo from Tipper's set the night before, hypnotizing the crowd with rhythmic and heavy bass music. Due to a storm delay earlier in the evening, by the time Tipper was closing out his set the sky was starting to lighten into dawn.
Sunday was a more relaxed day since no one had really slept the night before. People congregated for yoga and stretching workshops or did their last minute festival merchandise shopping during the day but a good part of the festival decided to sleep in. Zilla, Jamie Janover's group, performed late in the afternoon that day and absolutely killed the Bloom Stage. At the same time, Random Rab's alter ego, Mour, performed a darker electronic set at the CO Dome from what Rab fans are used to. Break Science played on the Bloom Stage following Zilla, performing in their trademark duet fashion. They rocked out on their drums and keyboard before Shpongle took the stage to bring more psychedelic sonic texture to the festival. More intense and colorful visuals complimented the transcendent bass music. Eoto followed Shpongle, jamming out their favorite Dubstep anthems. The Sonic Bloom Orchestra came on as the last act of the festival on the Bloom Stage, bringing out all kinds of different instruments to use. They closed the last night wonderfully, really playing their hearts out. Random Rab might have been the actual closer however, as he played one of his famous sunrise sets at the CO Dome, giving Rab fans another great set to grind to.
Overall, Sonic Bloom was an absolutely incredible festival this year. Between all of the amazing music, the wonderful merchandise that people made or brought to sell, the beautiful live painting and art exhibits that were scattered throughout the grounds, the live acrobatics and fire dancing that occurred on stage during performances, Sonic Bloom was an environment of fun and excitement that everyone completely loved to be a part of. Each of those elements added something to the festival that made it that much more spectacular to witness and experience. Sonic Bloom was a massive success this year and it will be very interesting to see how they can top next year. Sonic Bloom remains spectacularly Colorado at heart and is one of the best music festivals to call this state home.

On Friday, United States District Judge Joseph F. Bianco sentenced Jose Gustavo Orellana-Torres, also known as "Diablito," the former leader of the Coronados clique of La Mara Salvatrucha, also known as the MS-13 street gang, to 365 months' imprisonment following his September 25, 2012 guilty plea to racketeering, including predicate acts relating to the May 26, 2009 murder of Dexter Acheampong in Central Islip, New York, and the July 5, 2009 attempted murder of a suspected rival gang member in Roosevelt, New York.
The sentence was announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; George Venizelos, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office; and Thomas V. Dale, Commissioner of the Nassau County Police Department.
According to his plea allocution and documents previously filed in the case, on May 26, 2009, Orellana-Torres attended a Coronados clique meeting in Brentwood, New York, and the MS-13 members agreed to "put in work" for the gang by killing rival gang members. Orellana-Torres and several other MS-13 members drove around Brentwood and Central Islip looking for rival gang members, and Orellana-Torres was armed with a .38 caliber revolver. While in the vicinity of East Maple Street in Central Islip, the MS-13 members observed Dexter Acheampong, whom they did not know but believed, based on the color of his skin and the neighborhood he was walking in, to be a member of the Bloods street gang. In fact, Mr. Acheampong did not belong to any street gang. Orellana-Torres stepped out of the car and fired four shots at Mr. Acheampong with the .38 caliber revolver, striking the victim twice in the back as he tried to escape. Mr. Acheampong was found dead in the driveway of a home on East Maple Street the next morning.
Just over a month later, on July 4-5, 2009, Orellana-Torres attended another MS-13 meeting, this time in Roosevelt, New York. The MS-13 members again discussed killing rival gang members. Orellana-Torres, who possessed the same .38 caliber revolver that night, and other MS-13 members drove around Roosevelt, New York, looking for rival gang members. The MS-13 members observed a man, whose identity is known to the government but is not being disclosed in order to protect his safety, whom they believed to be a rival gang member. One of the other MS-13 members fired several shots at the man, striking him once in the hand.
Orellana-Torres's conviction is the latest in a series of federal prosecutions by this office targeting New York members of the MS-13, a violent international street gang comprised primarily of immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. With numerous branches, or "cliques," the MS-13 is the largest street gang on Long Island. Since 2002, more than 200 MS-13 members, including more than two dozen clique leaders, have been convicted on federal felony charges in the Eastern District of New York. More than 100 of those MS-13 members have been convicted on federal racketeering charges. Since 2010 alone, this office has convicted more than 30 members of the MS-13 on charges relating to their participation in one or more murders. These prosecutions are the product of investigations led by the FBI's Long Island Gang Task Force, comprising agents and officers of the FBI, Nassau County Police Department, Nassau County Sheriff's Department, Suffolk County Probation, Suffolk County Sheriff's Department, and the Rockville Centre Police Department.
The government's case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys John J. Durham, Raymond A. Tierney, and Carrie N. Capwell.

TIP! Do you enjoy serving coffee to your guests? If so, put your creativity on display by putting decorations on the lattes you serve. All you need is a little know how on how to make a good cup of joe for your houseguests.
Are you unfamiliar with the various terms related to blends and roasts? Do you have no idea what the differences between diary and non-dairy creamers are? If you do not know the answers to those questions, continue reading. Don't let this discourage you, as the following article can teach you everything you need to know about coffee.
TIP! Do not heat coffee that has been previously brewed. Doing so does not release harmful chemicals, as the old wives' tale states.
Just like with most things, it's important to buy a high quality coffee. To get the best possible cup of coffee, you have to start with the best beans and the best brewing equipment. If you buy cheap coffee, you will not like the results.
TIP! If you're working from home, you can use coffee to get out of the house. Most coffee shops have free internet connectivity.
If you love coffee but are considered about your weight, then add some Stevia in your coffee rather than sugar or creams. Stevia is low in calories and a natural product that does not raise glucose levels. You can find it at most grocery stores.
TIP! Coffee comes in a wide variety of choices. The quality of the roast is something that you can vary to achieve a unique taste with your coffee.
Buy a French press so you can make amazingly rich coffee. Flavor is compromised by the paper coffee filters used in drip-style coffee brewers. A French press works by using a plunger to push the ground beans down to the base of the pot. The oils say in the brew, providing a flavor that is richer.
Carefully choose the water you use to make your coffee. If your water does not have a nice flavor, neither will your coffee. You should also pay attention to the mineral content of your water. Water that lacks minerals will give coffee a bitter taste.
TIP! If you want strong coffee that tastes great, a French Press is good for that. French presses squeeze out the oils that flavor coffee.
If possible, purchase coffee that has never been exposed to pesticides. Coffee beans have a high level of absorbancy, and the flavor of the beans is derived from it's surrounding soil. Organic coffee will usually have a much better flavor than non-organic coffee.
TIP! Sometimes, you may want to treat yourself to coffee from a specialty store. There are many wonderful choices, and you may give yourself a topping of chocolate curls or whipped cream, or simply have an espresso that is full of froth.
Good water is essential for good coffee. Think about using bottled water, because even though it is costly, it can make your coffee taste wonderful. If you fail to use bottled water, consider using a faucet purifier. Although it's not the same thing as bottled water, it will still have a better taste than regular tap water.
TIP! A coffee blend's flavor is determined largely by the origin of the beans. Don't just drink the same thing all the time; try a new blend or brand.
Makes sure your brewing water is clean and tastes good. The water will have an influence on the overall flavor of your beverage. A good way to ensure a good cup of coffee is to try the water before hand.
TIP! Do not reheat your coffee after you have brewed it. Rather, buy a thermal mug, and that will keep coffee hot for a long time.
In order to get the best possible brew, pure, clean water is key. All factors are important. That is why bottled water, distilled water or at the very least filtered water from your tap results in the best tasting cup of coffee.
TIP! Avoid storing your coffee near the oven or any other heat source. If you coffee is stored near a heat source, it can lose its flavor.
The most delicious coffee comes from beans that have recently been roasted. Buyers of whole coffee beans should find out when the beans were roasted by checking their expiration date. For the freshest coffee, purchase from a coffee shop or specialty store rather than a grocery store.
TIP! Do you want to have a rich taste to your coffee in the morning? Try using more coffee. A good rule of thumb is to measure two tablespoons of grounds per each six ounce cup of water.
If you aren't familiar with coffee basics, don't fret. Coffee may appear complicated, but once you learn the basics, it's pretty easy. Just keep in mind the tips you gleaned from this article, and before you know it, you will be brewing the best coffee in town.

Learning and Skills Network goes into administration
Education charity's income, which came mainly from government contracts, fell sharply in the past two years
Ian Oakley-Smith, joint administrator, director and head of charity advisory at PwC
An education charity that employs 117 staff has gone into administration.
The Learning and Skills Network, which had annual income of £45m as recently as 2006/07, relied heavily on government contracts for its income.
The organisation, which was established as a charity in 2006, provides management and leadership training across the public and private sectors.
It also ran workforce development programmes on behalf of various government departments and agencies, including the Department for Education.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has been appointed joint administrators, the network's income had fallen to about £13m in 2010/11.
It currently operates five businesses and employs 48 staff at its London head office, 26 in Cambridge, 16 in Olney, near Milton Keynes, 14 in Oxford and 13 in Belfast.
It acquired three new businesses at a cost of £8.87m as part of a new financial strategy in 2009.
David Hurst, joint administrator and director at PwC, said the charity had suffered a "dramatic decline in contract income since 2009".
"As a result of the decline in income and significant pension liabilities within the charity, the trustees concluded that they were unable to continue and have placed the charity into administration," he said.
"Our immediate priority is to seek buyers for the successful businesses within the charity, to enable their long-term survival, preserve jobs and continue supporting customers and students. We would encourage any interested parties to contact us as a matter of urgency."
Ian Oakley-Smith, joint administrator, director and head of charity advisory at PwC said it had seen a "marked increase" in approaches from "financially distressed charities" in recent weeks and months due to the impact of cuts in government funding.
According to the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, employment and training charities are most vulnerable to cuts in public funding because they derive 70 per cent of their income from this source.

These wings weren't meant to fly but they took off and took social media by storm just the same. At 10ft wide, it is the largest installation of wings in Oman. Artist Ibrahim Gailani in collaboration with Crowne Plaza Muscat OCEC unveiled the painting recently and since its opening, standing in front of the installation has become a global social media trend just as the hotel wanted it — bringing the first of its scale installation that get people talking.
The concept was something both artist and hotel took time to nail down. "We knew we wanted to do wings as a statement piece simply because the property faces the reservoir wadi and is home to over 250 migrating birds, so that was the inspiration", stated Christian Kronast, General Manager of the hotel.
"I wanted to maintain my pop-art style and the entire wings are of different shimmering colors of turquoise, to gold, to green, to bronze and I purposely wanted to leave the wings undefined and ambiguous, it makes the viewer wonder: 'is it a butterfly? or a bird?'" the artist shared. "Freedom should not come from out of box labels, but it should be a feeling from within and that was the main aim here," he added. The wings were created over a period of live painting sessions where guest could engage with the artist and even assist in painting the piece. This is not the first time that Crowne Plaza and Gailani had partnered for art activities. The hotel has also been hosting the Gailani Art Retreat — a monthly getaway for creative souls to paint to music.
