FAQ 1: What is the physiological form of tubulin?
FAQ 2: What kits are available to study my protein of interest?
FAQ 3: What assays are available to screen compounds for anti-microtubule activity?
For more specific technical tips and FAQs please view our product pages and datasheets.
Tubulin is a labile protein. Keep the lyophilized tubulin dry by storing in a desiccator at either 4°C or -70°C. After reconstituting tubulin as directed on the product's datasheet, experiment-sized aliquots must be snap-frozen to liquid nitrogen before storing at -70°C to preserve tubulin's activity. Tubulin should also not be frozen at a concentration below 6 mg/ml. When thawing the aliquots, thaw tubes in a room temperature water bath and immediately place on ice until used. Do not re-freeze tubulin once thawed. Throw away unused thawed tubulin aliquots.
Tubulin polymerization is regulated by temperature. At 37°C tubulin will polymerize into microtubules while at 4°C microtubules will depolymerize to the tubulin subunits. There is a loss of 5% polymer per degree reduction in temperature. It is critical therefore to pay particular attention to temperature throughout the assay. Tubulin should be kept on ice until transferred to the 96 well plate for polymerization at 37°C. The plate reader should be brought to 37°C before beginning assay and the plate and buffers should be pre-warmed to 37°C.
In order to achieve reproducible results the researcher must decide on standard conditions of operation. The recommended standard conditions are 2-3 mg/ml tubulin in general tubulin buffer supplemented with 1 mM GTP and 15% glycerol. Using a higher protein concentration will achieve greater polymerization signal which can be useful for detecting inhibitors. Using lower or zero concentrations of glycerol is useful for detecting polymerization enhancing compounds. In the absence of glycerol, tubulin will not polymerize at a concentration below 5 mg/ml except in the presence of an enhancing agent like paclitaxel. Do not use high concentrations of taxol and glycerol together as this combination of enhancers causes aberrant tubulin polymer formations. Conditions can be modified to suit particular requirements. For example, if you wish to search for inhibitors that bind hydrophobic pockets of tubulin you may want to use no glycerol and a higher concentration of tubulin or use microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs; as in MAP-rich tubulin, cat. # ML116) which bind ionically rather than in hydrophobic pockets. Tubulin concentraton and glycerol concentration will also vary based on the purity of tubulin being used. Purer tubulin actually requies more enhancers than tubulin that also contains MAPs since MAPs are natural polymerization enhancers.
Answer 1: The basic physiological unit of tubulin is the heterodimer, composed of 1 alpha and 1 beta subunit (aka alpha and beta tubulin). A true monomer (either 1 alpha or 1 beta subunit) is unstable in vitro and is not known to exist under in vivo conditions. Molecular weight of the heterodimeric subunit is 110,000 daltons, whereas each monomer is 55,000 daltons.
Answer 2: Cytoskeleton, Inc. offers a variety of kits to study how a protein of interest interacts with and affects tubulin. To examine if a protein is a microtubule binding protein (MAP), we offer the microtubule binding protein spin-down assay biochem kit (Cat. # BK029). This kit provides clear instructions and all the reagents and controls necessary to determine the ability of a given protein to bind to tubulin monomers versus tubulin polymers (microtubules). Tubulin binding can be measured by using a spin down assay where centrifugation is used to separate microtubules from tubulin monomers by differential sedimentation.
We also offer absorbance and fluorescence-based tubulin polymerization assay Biochem Kits (Cat. # BK006P or BK011P, respectively) to follow polymerization kinetics. There are many proteins and drugs that either enhance or inhibit polymerization. These compounds can be characterized by their effect on one or more of the three stages of tubulin polymerization: nucleation, growth, and steady-state equilibrium. A compound's effects on depolymerization can also be evaluated.
We also offer a kit that provide a convenient means of producing or unlabeled microtubules(Cat. # BK015) for those researchers new to the tubulin field. Additionally, the microtubule/tubulin in vivo assay kit (Cat. # BK038) offers a straightforward method for quantitating the in vivo ratio of tubulin polymers to monomers. This kit allows the researcher to easily analyze changes in tubulin monomers and polymers induced by their protein of interest in cell or tissue samples.
To examine if your protein of interest affects how microtubules interact with kinesins, Cytoskeleton also offers ATPase assays that quantify the levels of inorganic phosphate production by microtubule-activated kinesin ATPase activity. An end-point (Cat. # BK053) and kinetic (Cat. # BK060) kit is offered.
To examine site-specific competition for binding sites on tubulin, Cytoskeleton offers the tubulin ligand competition assay (Cat. # CDS15-P). This kit allows for the screening and identification of new compounds that bind to known sites on the tubulin molecule.
Answer 3: Cytoskeleton, Inc. supplies multiple kits that can be used to examine a compound's anti-microtubule activity. We offer absorbance and fluorescence-based tubulin polymerization assay Biochem Kits (Cat. # BK006P or BK011P, respectively) to follow polymerization kinetics. The polymerization kits can be used to evaluate a compounds's ability to induce microtubule depolymerization or impair polymerization. We also offer kits that provide a convenient means of producing either fluorescently-labeled (Cat. # BK007R) or unlabeled (Cat. # BK015) microtubules. These microtubules can then be incubated with compounds and changes in the length and number of microtubules can be quantified. Additionally, the microtubule/tubulin in vivo assay kit (Cat. # BK038) offers a straightforward method for quantitating the in vivo ratio of tubulin polymers to monomers. This kit allows the researcher to easily analyze changes in tubulin monomers and polymers induced by various treatment conditions in cell or tissue samples.

Fewer side-effects and similar benefits from shorter chemotherapy after bowel cancer surgery
Published on 12 June 2018 doi: 10.3310/signal-000603
A three-month course of chemotherapy after surgery for bowel cancer seems no less effective than the standard six-month course, and half as many people suffered from nerve damage as a side-effect. Three-quarters of people survived to three years without disease progression on either treatment.
This international trial, part funded by the NIHR, included over 6,000 people with high-risk stage II or III bowel cancer that had spread through the bowel wall or to nearby lymph nodes. Standard treatment after surgery is usually six months of an oxaliplatin-containing regimen. This study evaluated a shorter course.
Oxaliplatin is known to damage nerves, causing numbness, tingling and pain in feet and hands, which tends to get worse with prolonged use. Shorter chemotherapy reduced the frequency and severity of such side effects.
Shorter course chemotherapy could become an option to discuss with patients when balancing the benefits and risks of treatment.
There were 41,804 new cases of bowel cancer in the UK in 2015. Around a quarter of people are diagnosed at stage III when the cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes. An estimated 25-60% of people with this stage will survive to five years. Following surgery to remove the cancer, over half will develop later recurrence. Chemotherapy is therefore given after surgery.
People with stage III are recommended to receive chemotherapy regimens including the drug oxaliplatin for six months. But oxaliplatin causes disabling long-term problems with balance and sensation in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy) which becomes worse with increasing dose and duration.
Several other studies have assessed whether giving three-month chemotherapy could reduce side effects without being less effective than the standard duration. The SCOT study is the largest to-date to address this question.
The SCOT randomised controlled trial was conducted across 244 centres in six countries including the UK. It included 6,088 adults who were within 11 weeks of curative surgery to treat high-risk stage II or stage III bowel or rectal cancer.
Patients were treated with one of two oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy regimens: either FOLFOX which includes fluorouracil or CAPOX including capecitabine. They were randomised to receive the treatment for three or six months. Patients were followed up for at least three years to look at survival without relapse of their cancer. They also completed questionnaires assessing quality of life and neuropathy.
The study was a non-inferiority trial that aimed to show that there was a less than 2.5% difference in survival on the shorter course, a difference worth accepting to get a marked reduction in side effects and therefore an improvement in quality of life.
Three months of chemotherapy was no worse than six months of the same treatment. The proportion of patients who survived to three years without disease progression was 76.7% after three-month treatment and 77.1% after six-month treatment (hazard ratio [HR] 1.006, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.909 to 1.114).
Peripheral neuropathy was more common in patients treated for six months, affecting 58% compared with only 25% in the three-month group.
Overall more people in the six-month group experienced the most severe side effects, affecting 59% compared with 36% of the three-month group. Alongside neuropathy these included diarrhoea, nausea and low white cell count.
Quality of life assessments revealed that the difference between groups was mainly restricted to months four, five and six when the six-month group were still receiving treatment. After this, there was little difference between groups up to six years.
Site or stage of cancer made no difference to disease-free survival. However, there was some difference between the two chemotherapy regimens. Three months of CAPOX treatment was not inferior to six months. However, fewer people received FOLFOX, so we can't be sure that the shorter course of this regimen is as good as the longer.
These results were combined with the other trials giving similar results.
NICE guidance (2006) recommends the options below following surgery for stage III colon cancer:
Capecitabine as single therapy.
Oxaliplatin in combination with 5-fluorouracil and folinic acid.
It's advised that the choice of chemotherapy should be made jointly by individuals and their clinicians after an informed discussion. This should take into account contraindications to treatment, side effects of the drug(s) and the method of administration, as well as the clinical condition and preferences of the individual.
This study provides good evidence that a shorter duration of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy could halve the serious side effects compared with the standard six months, with little effect on survival.
Chemotherapy was not randomised but decided on an individual basis and patient characteristics – including disease risk, other illnesses and concerns about side effects, which remain important when choosing the appropriate treatment course.

This trial was funded by the National Institute for Health Research Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (project number 09/800/34) and supported by the Medical Research Council, Swedish Cancer Society and Cancer Research UK Core Clinical Trials Unit Funding (Funding Ref: C6716/A9894).

Many guidelines worldwide recommend a six-month combination of a fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy drug with oxaliplatin for high-risk stage II and III colorectal cancer as adjuvant treatment post-surgery. Side effects of oxaliplatin, including disabling neuropathy, increase with dose.
The SCOT trial enrolled 6,088 patients and demonstrated similar effectiveness with a three-month chemotherapy course with the same drugs. Less than half as many patients reported severe neuropathy. Quality of life scores were better with this regimen.
The SCOT regimen gives the potential to greatly improve the quality of life of these patients and improve acceptability and uptake of the treatment.

At the opening of the 21st century, trade unions in the United States continue to weaken. A smaller percentage of workers are members than at any time since the 1920s. Meanwhile, labor officials finagle mergers to maintain their dues base and pour tens of millions into electing to public office one or another of the candidates of employers' imperialist parties, thus further weakening the labor movement.
But militant workers resisting employer assaults have begun relearning what a strike is - how a strike is fought, how to reach out for solidarity and extend it to others, how a strike can be won. Through involvement in such struggles, they become more interested in ideas about how the entire system of exploitation, oppression, and disrespect facing working people can be changed. They start reading more braodly, including books, pamphlets, and newspapers suggested by fellow union fighters who they've come to trust and who are experienced in political activity in the interests of the working class. They become open to bolder perspectives.
For workers such as these, and youth attracted to their struggles, the "food for thought" in this book - the work of revolutionary leaders from three different generations of the modern working-class movement - will become an invaluable part of their practical education.


Over the last couple of weeks my TWC TV app stopped launching. When I touch the icon it starts to launch but after about 2 seconds it shuts down with no error message. I have an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 10.1 , although it did the same thing with previous iOS version. I have deleted the app, restarted the phone, and then reinstalled the app and I get the same problem. Please fix the app.
This question is about "TWC TV App not launching on iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 10.1", with Time Warner Cable TV and apps.


Songify is a free song-making app from the Gregory Brothers, the creators of the "AutoTune the News" series, as well as creators of the viral video hit "Double Rainbow Song". As you might expect, Songify's takes your words and turn them into a funny song, using an in-built Autotuner.
The built in "Winning!" section is clearly the biggest value add-in, and gives you the most longevity in the app. Here, you can listen to other user submissions and rate them. Unfortunately, like any user generated best online casino content, it can be very hit or miss.
Overall there is mobile casino casino online very little depth here, allowing you only 3 song styles to choose dgfev online casino from in the free version. The song styles are fun for a while, but you will get tired of it fairly soon. You do have the option of expanding your song styles, with three more single styles, and three style packs to be purchased, each for $0.99. Whether or not more song styles will be added remains to be seen, though it is worth mentioning that with each song pack, you have the option to sample them before buying them.
My only real complaint about Songify, aside from the micro transaction element of song expansion, is that the user interface is very basic and not well explained. There are only four buttons to choose from, but it would be a small and appreciated tweak if each button were more clear in its function. If you're looking for some cheap fun, definitely download Songify.
Songify is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and secondgeneration or newer iPod Touch.

Have you read many reviews but yet to find out what the best Mac cleaner on? Your search will probably end here. We composed this review about Mac cleaners for our readers so they can end up with the best option. Niin, continue to read on if you are still shopping around for the best Mac cleaner. For the best Task Managers for Mac, vain vaihtaa sen.
Long gone are the days when we would use megabytes to measure the capacity of storage devices. Nyt, we are in the process of moving from gigabytes to terabytes. With the workload we presently handle with our Macs, even those massive storage capacities aren't enough. Pretty much every user find that their Mac's hard drives fill too frequently due to the large files they handle. Niin, Mac users are always curious about making the best use of every gigabyte in their hard disk. Kuitenkin, eri syistä, hard disks tend to get filled with plenty of unnecessary stuff. Itse asiassa, that is one of the major causes behind the issue "Your disk is almost full". Identifying and removing these unnecessary files is the ideal solution. Kuitenkin, that is usually a complex task even if you are a seasoned Mac user. Cleaning up a Mac manually is a time-consuming task. If you need to make the process fast and more efficient, you will need a Mac cleaner software.
Kuten tänään, you can find plenty of tools which claim that they can clean Macs. Käytännössä, choosing the best Mac cleaner out of the rest can be an uphill task. No, one of the best ways to differentiate the best option is to read some reviews. Tästä huolimatta, this review about the best Mac cleaner is composed using up-to-date and most relevant information. If I find the best Mac cleaner, you can get your Mac cleaned up in a couple of minutes. Myös, get to know what to do if your Mac kamera ei toimi.
Kuten edellä mainittiin, it is not an easy task to differentiate the best Mac cleaner from the rest. Kuitenkin, we have tested the most popular Mac cleaners in the market to get an idea about the features. In the next section of our article, we will list down all those options (along with our recommendation). You can go through this information and decide what the best option for you is.
According to our findings, the best Mac cleaner is CleanMyMac. From its first impression to functionality, CleanMyMac has plenty of awesome characteristics to stand out from the competition. The interface comes with a really intuitive interface. Avustuksella näiden työkalujen, you will be able to clean all the junk files within a click or two. It is capable of uninstalling the applications and clearing up extra files that were left behind.
Lisäksi, CleanMyMac comes with several other interesting features. You can easily use this app to optimize all the startup items that hinder smooth performance. Removing the unnecessary web browser extensions is another handy feature associated with this tool. You can couple it with Gemini 2 (which is a smart app that can find duplicate files). Sitten, you can get rid of all the unnecessary duplicate files. Niin, to make it a complete operation, we suggest you install both Gemini 2 and CleanMyMac.
Drive Genius is another superb option that can clean your Mac's hard drive and get the best of it. It can prevent most of the potential disk-related errors such as crashes. Vielä tärkeämpää, this software can provide the necessary protection against malware attacks as well. Itse asiassa, Drive Genius is more of a combination of essential utilities rather than a single tool. Se tarkoittaa, it can clean up disk, scan and remove viruses, clone and recover disk and many other things. No, compared to the other Mac cleaners in the market, Drive Genius is expensive. Mutta, koska uskomme, their cost is justifiable. Loppujen lopuksi, it is not a single tool (but it is a collection of tools). Myös, Drive Genius is tried by the experts at the Apple Genius Bar, and they are fully satisfied with it.
We should also mention Dr. Cleaner as a very effective tool. This tool offers several useful features, and none of the other tools don't do so. This smart tool is capable of scanning and cleaning large junk files. Myös, there is no limitation when it comes to deletion of files. Dr. Siivooja, Itse asiassa, performs various tasks to improve the productivity of your Mac. It also shows a variety of metrics related to the performance of your Mac.
Apart from the apps mentioned above, this article explains a range of other apps that can clean your Mac. Itse asiassa, some of these apps are for free, and you may consider them as alternatives.
We have come across a variety of misconceptions that are spread across the internet. Mentioned below is a list of such statements that are about Mac cleaning. Click it if you wish to find out Mikä on muut Mac Storage?
Individuals who use Macs (particularly those who have switched to Macs from PCs) believe this thoroughly. Yleensä, Windows users tend to clean their registry pretty frequently. That is in order to get rid of the browser cache and leftover software. Kuitenkin, what you should believe is that there are substantial differences between these two operating systems. Pähkinänkuoressa, you don't need to clean Mac computers too often thanks to the Unix characteristics it possesses.
A surprising number of individuals believe that they can increase the speed of the Mac through a cleaning app. They believe that cleaning up the old files will boost the performance of the Mac. Kuitenkin, the truth is that no research was done to determine if it is true. Koska uskomme, users think of such aspect because of the exaggerating claims made by software marketers. Kuitenkin, you can expect a slightly better performance through Mac by defragmenting it (if it is HDD based). Toisaalta, Macs that have built-in SSD don't require defragmentation.
Many app developers try to exaggerate the performance of their apps in order to gain more attention. Some of them are used to say that you cannot clean a Mac manually. They say that it is compulsory to have a Mac cleaner to do that. Kuitenkin, this is not true at all. You can clean your Mac without using any app. The apps you are using on the Mac themselves have options to clean their cache and junk files. The best example is the web browser you are using. If you use Safari, Chrome or Firefox, you can easily clean cache and browsing history through their menu options. Myös, if you want to disable login items simply by visiting "Järjestelmäasetukset" ja sitten "Käyttäjät & ryhmät". To uninstall the apps, you can drag and drop them to Trash. To accomplish all these tasks, you don't need an app – you can do them manually.
If you can clean your Mac manually, why do you need a Mac cleaner app in the first place? Katsotaan löytää sitä. The main reason for a user to rely on a Mac cleaner app is time-saving. Kuten ehkä ymmärtää, cleaning a Mac manually will require a considerable amount of time and effort. Kuitenkin, if you use the best Mac cleaner app, cleaning a Mac is a matter of a couple of clicks.
Tämän sanoi, here are some of the instances in which you will have to use a Mac cleaner.
If you use your Mac to do heavy graphics or video related work, you should consider increasing the RAM. When RAM is increased, your Mac will hardly freeze even if you handle heavy tasks. Kuitenkin, apart from insufficient RAM, there are several other reasons for a Mac to slow down.
Itse asiassa, we were able to test a wide range of software tools to differentiate the best Mac cleaner. Sitä paitsi, we did contact their customer support teams as well to clarify more information. Näin, we were able to get a good understanding of the products and their features. Mentioned below are the main aspects we considered when we tested the program.
The main goal of using a 'cleaner' is to clean your Mac, and that is obvious. For the sake of cleaning your Mac, you don't need to install a variety of third-party programs. That means the software you install should be free from adware and malware. We have considered this aspect pretty seriously. Niin, we wanted to check if these apps were able to do its main job without any confusion. Kuitenkin, saatu käytännön olosuhteissa, it's difficult to find a software app that doesn't have add-ons. Niin, we tested apps that had multiple features, but its main function is to clean the Mac.
Kuten edellä mainittiin, the core function of the software we test is 'cleaning' Mac. Niin, the effectiveness of the cleaning functionality should be high in all means. The app should be able to deliver a considerable amount of disk space. It should have the smartness of identifying and deleting useless items. That might include obsolete iOS backups, heavy duplicated items, unwanted third-party apps, jne.
Helppokäyttöisyys (or the user-friendliness) of the apps is another vital aspect to check during our review. Koska uskomme, the software should be able to handle easily by humans. Loppujen lopuksi, they are for humans. Having a large range of features is a good thing. Kuitenkin, that doesn't mean that the respective software should be difficult to understand for the user. Difficult interfaces make the software less efficient. Niin, the user-friendliness of the software was a prime concern of us. We preferred interfaces that comprise of the sleek interface. We hope all our readers will agree with us in this case. As long as the navigation buttons clearly visible, functionality is smooth, and the instructions are clear, we like it. Sen lisäksi, we didn't like apps that often crash or freeze. Such apps cause bad user experience in general.
It is true that free apps are really good when it comes to the cost factor. Kuitenkin, we don't consider an app as the best Mac cleaner just based on the cost factor. Toisin sanoen, we don't prefer an app just because it is free. Sen sijaan, we carefully analyze the overall features with the price. Then we determine if those features are worth paying it. The main concern is functionality. Pohjimmiltaan, if the app can clean your hard drive noticeably, we consider the product positively. Sitten, we go through the price and determine if it's worth paying it. If there are two tools offering the same features and different price tags, we would definitely choose the affordable option. We also consider the packages they offer. Se tarkoittaa, if there are multiple subscription options, we consider them as good options. Esimerkiksi, if a respective software offers 'per Mac' package as well as 'time-based' subscriptions, that's a good offer. Pähkinänkuoressa, it is mandatory to consider price and features together before deciding.
The efficiency of the customer service they offer is another vital aspect to determine the quality of the software. Yleensä, we tend to experience some issues when we use the software. The most reliable way to resolve these issues is by contacting the customer care service. Kuitenkin, to get the issues resolved at earliest, ne (customer service) should be very efficient. If they take days to respond to a certain question you have asked, you can't call it efficiency. Niin, we preferred companies that responded to our queries faster. Myös, we checked the clarity of the messages they send. Sen lisäksi, a reputed software development company should offer multiple options to contact them. Esimerkiksi, they should offer options like live chat, Sähköposti, Puhelin, sosiaalinen media, jne. If the respective team offer a knowledge base (such as constantly updated FAQ). We have experienced that paid software tools are very effective in doing this as opposed to the free options.
No matter how efficient the software tool, it becomes completely useless if it is not compatible with your MacOS. You may already know that Apple delivers a new MacOS every year. If your version of OS is the newest and the Mac Cleaner is not compatible, se on hyödytön. Yllättävän, some of the apps were found to be incompatible with the latest MacOS. We came across with such instance when we were testing some apps in our list. Kuitenkin, if you download the app through their official website, you can minimize this risk. If you have already installed the app, you can consider updating it to the latest version. Tehdä se, the respective software should offer constant updates.
Tästä eteenpäin, let's take a look at the best Mac cleaner software we have found. Kuten edellä mainittiin, we list down these tools based on the above criteria. Myös, find out the ways to Force Empty the Trash Can on Mac.
The combination of CleanMyMac> and Gemini is our best choice due to various obvious reasons. Itse asiassa, CleanMyMac X comes with a wide array of cleaning utilities to eliminate junk files in your MacOS. Myös, Gemini 2 is capable of detecting and deleting duplicate files.
These two apps are developed by MacPaw Inc. which is a reputed company in the industry. Lisäksi, both of those apps come with a really attractive interface. Kuitenkin, we believe that it would have been perfect if CleanMyMac comes with all the features of Gemini 2.
No, when it comes to the price factor, both CleanMyMac and Gemini are available for a price of $53.95. That is with the discount of %10. Tarvittaessa, you can purchase these two programs separately. Regardless of the tool, we strongly suggest you use the trial version of this software. Such an approach will give you a clear idea about the functionality of the software even before you purchase it.
We had the pleasure of testing all the features included in CleanMyMac. Nyt, let's take a look at the most notable features of this handy software.
CleanMyMac X is perfectly convenient for any user regardless of the level of the expertise. It has a very handy feature called Smart Cleanup. This feature is capable of scanning the hard disk (including SDDs) within a very short period. With our test, we noticed that it scanned more than 6 GB of junk files. Kuitenkin, if you are cleaning your Mac for the first time, you will have to expect more junk. Even the time it takes might slightly vary if the capacity is more.
It also has a dedicated feature to scan and eliminate old, suuria tiedostoja. With a quick scan using "Large & Old Files" CleanMyMac X was able to find more than 105GB of files. Itse asiassa, this program is capable of categorizing them into groups as well. It can even sort these files determining the size as well. This is a very helpful feature particularly if you need to find and delete old, large and obsolete files.
Kuitenkin, you must be careful when you use this tool. Just because a file is rated under the 'old' Luokka, you don't need to delete it if it is useful. Joskus, you might be having very old but precious files in your HDD or SDD. Niin, be sure to review the file before you delete it no matter how old it is.
Once you are 100% sure about deleting the large files, you can simply select the file and hit "Poista". Sitten, the file will be deleted, and a message will appear confirming it. Koska uskomme, this is a very convenient way to find the old files that are overlooked.
Kun kyse "Utilities", you will be able to see several options such as "Uninstaller", "Maintenance", "Shredder", "Maintenance" jne. You can just click on each of those options to realize what they actually do.
To be frank, there are a couple of things we don't really appreciate about CleanMyMac. Kun olet asentanut sovelluksen, it will get added into the startup list of the Mac automatically. Kuitenkin, you can get rid of this option by going into preferences. Myös, we don't like the amount of heat generated during the scanning process. Mutta, koska uskomme, the heat occurs as a result of the quick scanning process.
Kaiken kaikkiaan, the drawbacks we have mentioned aren't substantial compared to the benefits associated with this tool. It can remove unnecessary files and help you achieve free space in your hard drive. Myös, it takes very less time to get completed. According to our analysis, Siksi, CleamMyMac 3 is capable of saving your time and making you more effective.
Nyt, let's take a look at MacPaw Gemini 2 – the companion of CleanMyMac Mac cleaner. This is a tool that can find duplicate apps. As of these days, we use our Macs to achieve a variety of tasks. Niin, we tend to save a large number of files (including backups). Myös, it is the place where you store your photos that are taken through your digital cameras. Some of these files might take a substantial amount of space from your hard disk. Myös, there can be plenty of duplicate files. When you use a Mac for quite a while, the number of files can increase. Sitten, you will run out the disk space as an obvious result.
If you intend to check for the duplicate and delete them, you will find it almost impossible. Imaging the process of reviewing tens of thousands of files manually and recognizing the duplicates – that's impossible isn't it? Kuitenkin, by using Gemini 2, you can overcome this instance pretty conveniently. Gemini 2 is an exceptionally convenient software to use. Onneksi, this software is compatible with the latest MacOS.
You can use Gemini 2 to scan for specific folders instead of scanning the entire system. For testing purpose, we scanned a folder on a Mac using Gemini 2. Within less than a minute, the scan was completed. To our surprise, it found a large number of duplicates. Myös, it was able to review the files for us. We didn't test the entire system, but we are fully confident with the results achieved through the random test.
We went through some reviews left by previous users of this software in various forums. And we were able to notice that the vast majority of them praise this software a lot. Some individuals were able to delete over 35GB of duplicates through this software, and that's impressive. Our honest suggestion, kuitenkin, is to download Gemini 2 through their official website only. Such approach lets you use the trial version before purchasing the original. There is no difference in price when you download it through the App Store.
We are also impressed with the support rendered by customer care of CleanMyMac ja Gemini. Both of these apps are developed by MacPaw, and you can access them in various ways. Esimerkiksi, you can contact them through social media, live chat, over the phone or emails.
Drive Genius is another decent alternative you can consider if you are looking for the best Mac cleaner. Kuitenkin, if you go for Drive Genius, you will have to pay a bit more compared to CleanMyMac. Drive Genius is developed by Prosoft Engineering, and it has a good reputation in the industry.
This Mac cleaner comes with a range of features you would expect from the best cleaner app. Sen lisäksi, this app comes with a special feature to protect your system from viruses as well. Koska uskomme, that's an impressive value addition.
Some individuals believe that Macs are invincible. But that is not true. Despite the claims made by Apple and what's believed by some users, Apple can get viruses. Viimeisten parin vuoden aikana, virus-related threats for Macs have increased drastically. There are plenty of examples out there in the world about Macs that are infected with malware. Myös, even a Mac user will not be safe under the threats associated with scams and phishing attacks. Kuitenkin, what we should say is that Macs are relatively safe compared to PCs.
Some of the versions of MacOS were there with some vulnerabilities. Esimerkiksi, High Sierra lets others extract your passwords through its keychain feature. Although apple fixed this issue immediately, it caused a substantial damaged to their reputation.
ensin, Drive Genius was introduced to clean the hard drives of Macs and resolve potential disk errors. Kuitenkin, it went through various upgrades over time, and it has become a very sophisticated tool. It is empowered with a malware scanner as well. This special feature let you detect and eliminate potential malware conveniently. Kuten jo tiedät, Macs aren't invisible and therefore, it is great to have a malware scanner.
In order to clean up your Mac and optimize its speed, you can use the range of tools provided by Drive Genius. One of the tools we really admire in Drive Genius is "Find Duplicates". Itse asiassa, it functions pretty similar to Gemini 2 we discussed earlier. Tämän työkalun avulla, you can expect to free up more space from your Mac's HDD. Myös, it comprises of the feature called "Find Large Files". This feature reminds us about "Large & Old Files" included in CleanMyMac software which we tried earlier. We hope that you don't need an explanation about this feature.
Defragment is another feature included in Drive Genius. Avustuksella tämän työkalun, you can expect better rearrangement of the files stored in Mac's HDDs. After defragmentation, you can expect better speed because the system is capable of reading those files faster. Itse asiassa, we experienced a notable speed boost after the defragmentation process.
Prosoft Engineers (the developers of Drive Genius) has a very impressive customer support team to assist you. They offer email support as well as phone support. They aren't available during weekends. Myös, they do have very handy documentation with all the required information in handling Drive Genius. It also gives you a good idea about the basics of MacOS. They usually release timely updates. Niin, you don't need to worry about the compatibility of this software. Kaiken kaikkiaan, we consider Drive Genius to be one of the best Mac cleaning apps in the market.
Dr. Cleaner is another useful and effective tool that can be considered as a good Mac cleaner. This tool is developed by a company called Trend Micro. Itse asiassa, Trend Micro is a well-known cybersecurity company that is specialized in developing antimalware solutions. This app offers a range of handy features to the delight of many Mac users across the globe. Although there are some improvements to be made, Dr. Cleaner is a very good option to clean up your iTunes library.
Dr. Cleaner also comes as a free version too. This specific version allows you to clean the disk. That allows removing the cache, browser extensions, download folders, väliaikaiset tiedostot, and many other things. Myös, it can optimize the memory usage of the Mac simply by closing the obsolete apps. Myös, it can seamlessly monitor the usage of the CPU and functionality of the networks connected. If you go for the professional edition (Dr. Cleaner Pro), kuitenkin, you can enjoy several advanced features. Duplicate Finder, Smart Scan, File Shredder, and App Manager are those tools. To enjoy these features, you will have to pay an amount of $14.99, which is fair we guess.
Once the Dr. Cleaner is installed in your Mac, you will be able to see that a new menu. This menu is added to the Mac's Menu Bar. Niin, it appears as a built-in app into your MacOS. Tämän vuoksi, some amount of convenience is added. Tämän vuoksi, you don't need to launch Activity Monitor always when you have to monitor the performance. This menu displays the real-time status of your Mac conveniently.
Dr. Cleaner can be downloaded for free through your Mac App Store. The app actually supports OS X 10.10 or greater. Niin, you don't have to worry about the compatibility of Mac. When it comes to the customer support factor, it is really impressive. The support they offer is clear and precise. We tried their service with a couple of queries, and they responded promptly with proper information.
iMobie MacClean is a utility that comes as an all-in-one cleaning suit specifically for Mac systems. Some would suggest that MacClean is more of a combination of Gemini 2 ja CleanMyMac. Kuitenkin, the truth is that iMobie MacClean comes as a more efficient tool. That is particularly because it can detect and eliminate malicious cookies. It can scan the apps installed and download folders in your Mac. Such an approach allows you to eliminate potential security risks you might come across when dealing with the internet. The overall appearance of the app is really nice. The user interface, erityisesti, shows great intuitiveness. All the options can be seen from the navigation panel conveniently.
Just like the other apps that are used to clean Mac, MacClean comes with a range of tools. It can accomplish the job of cleaning a Mac very conveniently. We had a test run with MacClean, and the results are pretty decent. Itse asiassa, the Mac we tested had an SSD and MacClean was able to free more than 28 GB space. Useimmissa tapauksissa, the scans were pretty fast. Some of the scans took less than 20 seconds to be honest. That is pretty fast, isn ' t se?
Koska uskomme, kuitenkin, there should be some improvements. We experienced a couple of crashes during the short period we tested the app. Myös, MacClean couldn't find some of the large files that were obsolete. Mutta, still, we believe that MacClean is a very decent option particularly considering the affordable price. You can obtain a personal license for $29.99 and a family license for $39.99. Through family license, you will be able to get the software installed in up to 05 units. Myös, you gain priority support. The customer support (for Family License we tested) was really impressive just like they say. That means they responded pretty quickly to our email queries with proper information.
DaisyDisk is another handy tool, but it functions in the form of a disk space analyzer. Tämän työkalun avulla, you can analyze the disk space and identify the aspects that consume the storage. With a test scan we performed (quick scan), we noticed that over 200 GB was in use. One of the most attractive aspects associated with DaisyDisk is that it utilizes a sunburst chart to display data. To view the details of each portion, you will have to hover the cursor on them. By reviewing the details, you can decide what to do with the files that aren't required. What you should know is that this tool's free version doesn't allow you to delete the apps or files. You will see the popup message when you try to delete the items through trial version. To access all the features, you should purchase the license at the cost of $9.99. You can purchase this app though Mac Apple Store or through their official website. This app is recognized by many reputed institutes. The design of the app and the overall functionality is really impressive. Vielä tärkeämpää, this app is a very affordable one. Loppujen lopuksi, paying $9.99 to keep the Mac in good condition is something we appreciate. Their email support is impressive. Myös, this app runs on all the latest MacOS versions.
Kuitenkin, you should also know that Apple offers pretty much the same feature as a built-in function. This option allows you to do exactly what is done through DaisyDisk. To access this feature, you should click on the Apple logo and select "Tietoja tästä Macista" vaihtoehto. Sitten, sinun pitäisi mennä "Varastointi" ja valitse "Hallinta". You will then get a full description of the system and the storage of the Mac. Esimerkiksi, you can simply view the details of the Documents and even organize them based on various information. That means you can order them according to the size, date created, jne. You can easily decide what to delete and what to keep by looking at the information. Niin, you actually don't need to purchase an app to do that since the built-in feature is already there.
IObit MacBooster is another strong contender when you shop around for the best Mac cleaner software. Through this app, you will be able to enjoy a wide array of features that aren't present with CleanMyMac. Esimerkiksi, this tool has features like defragmenter, photo sweeper as well as a duplicated finder. Sen lisäksi, it has a large range of features. All these features are categories into four groups. Those categories are as follows.
The interface of the program has a nice appearance, and we are impressed by it. There are three main dashboards that are located within the center. Itse asiassa, the interface appears more of a car dashboard.
When you go to the "System Status", you can see that it scans all the potential issues on the system. Kuitenkin, what we honestly believe is that they (IOBit) exaggerate the issues in MacOS system. We guess that they try to grab the attention of the users. Kun skannaus on valmis, we were surprised to see that there are thousands of "kysymykset" in the system. Lisäksi, it rated our system's stability as dangerous. We were really excited to know what those issues are. To our surprise, the vast majority of those 'issues' are related to cookies, Selaushistorian poistaminen, jne. They were related to web browsers. Niin, pähkinänkuoressa, what we saw was a false report. But we really appreciate what they offer under the name of 'Duplicate Finder' and 'Photo Sweeper'. These two features are pretty similar to what is offered by Gemini 2. If you usually synchronize your mobile phone photos and you don't clean them often, this is a great feature. Tämän järjestelmän avulla, you can find the duplicate files quickly and delete them.
Tämän, you will be able to free up a large range of potential duplicates. Since most of the photos are usually in large size these days, getting rid of duplicates is compulsory.
You might remember that CleanMyMac Menu appears as a shortcut in the menu bar. Just like that, MacBooster Mini gives you the opportunity of reviewing Mac's functionalities. Esimerkiksi, it displays the amount of memory, the network speed, available space of the storage, jne. Kaiken kaikkiaan, we would like to mention that MacBooster is a useful and efficient app. The main purpose of this app is to clan the Mac. Itse asiassa, the functionality of MacBooster is pretty similar to what is performed by CleanMyMac and Gemini. Myös, we think it has some effective features compared to CleanMyMac. But we suggest that you don't choose MacBooster over CleanMyMac just because of the number of features. We have enough reasons to consider CleanMyMac as the best of all. It is light in weight, super-fast and convenient to use. Myös, know more about iPad memory cleaner myös.
There are different price packages to consider if you want to purchase MacBooster. If you intend to get it for one Mac, the price would be $39.95. Varten 3 Mac, it would be $59.95. If you want it for 5 Mac, you will have to pay an amount of $89.95. The app is compatible with the latest MacOS. They offer prompt support through email. Sen lisäksi, they maintain a forum which is very informative.
MacFly Pro, Toisaalta, is relatively new software that can clean Macs. During the initial launch, kuitenkin, it was branded as ProductHunt. It doesn't sport annoying popups. Myös, the interface of this handy software is very clean and intuitive. We had a test run with this software. Installation of the product is pretty convenient. After a scan, we noticed that it was able to clean about 4GB of files off the Mac we tested.
But there is a downside to this software. Se tarkoittaa, it had identified the files in /private/var/folders to be junk files and that is a false alarm. Tietoja 50% of the files located within the results belong to this folder. Niin, we don't think it as a good idea to delete these files if you aren't an expert. Deleting some of the files can cause errors in your OS. Kuten tänään, MacFly Pro comes with a free trial as well. After a period of 7 päivää, you should renew the license at a rate of $4.99 kuukaudessa. We honestly cannot suggest our readers use this app because it is still undergoing some crucial developments. Sen lisäksi, it can be too expensive if you go for the monthly subscription plan.
CCleaner for Mac is a very popular option used by millions of individuals across the globe. This software is particularly popular among the PC user. We tested this app on one of our Macs as well as on a Toshiba laptop. In both the platforms, the interface appears to be pretty much the same. Kuitenkin, when it comes to the Windows version of this app, it is equipped with a registry cleaner as well. That is obviously because MacOS doesn't have a registry cleaner.
Using CCleaner, you will be able to clean the web browser cache and cookies conveniently. Myös, it can clean the history of the web browser. There are several new utilities included in this software. These utilities are capable of removing third-party apps, managing startup items and deleting a disk. But when you delete a disk volume, please be careful.
CCleaner is a really decent solution for those who are looking for a free solution. Kuitenkin, we still have the urge of going with CleanMyMac. That is obviously because of the powerful functionality, speed and accuracy it delivers. Myös, CleanMyMac stands ahead of this app in terms of convenience. Myös, we have noticed that there are various comments about finding malware in this app.
OnyX is another freeware that is preferred by many Apple users as of today. If you are a techie, OnyX is a really nice option to try. Compared to the other apps that are mainly designed for novices, OnyX has a complex interface. The appearance is pretty different from the others. There are various options to select. Myös, you would feel daunting to see a large number of buttons. To clean your Mac, you should know what is denoted by those checkboxes as well as from the buttons. Although it is capable of doing the job, we don't consider it the best because of the complexity.
Huomautus: Please note that OnyX makes your Mac frozen for several seconds (perhaps up to 10). That is during the app is verifying the startup disk. Tämän prosessin aikana, you will not be able to do anything with the Mac (it is completely frozen). Lopussa prosessin, näet viestin. But we strongly recommend you to wait until the process is completed. Don't restart the Mac. Itse asiassa, this delay is mentioned in their disclaimer. If you don't read the disclaimer, please note that you don't want to restart the Mac. This software works fine with the latest MacOS versions.
AppCleaner is another tool which is particularly designed to remove the unwanted apps off your Mac. It also removes the files that are related to those apps. Avoimesti, this app has the same functionality of the "Uninstaller" feature associated with "CleanMyMac". Kuitenkin, AppCleaner doesn't list the apps installed in the Mac you intend to clean.
The app appears as a small bundle of software. It has a nice design with perfect designs. Have you installed plenty of apps already and you need to give a cleanup to the Mac? Jos näin, this would be a good choice to consider. Vielä tärkeämpää, this app is free!
Disk Inventory X is another good solution which claims to have the ability to scan the disks. It also shows the capacity of the files and folders that are stored in the system. Tavalla, this app has some similarities to DaisyDisk, we should say. Both of these apps let you see the information in a very attractive manner. One of the major issues we experienced with Disk Inventory X is that the time it takes to clean the disk. We have noticed that this app takes a very long time to load.
Despite the duration it took, we were thrilled to see the results of the scan. We went through the treemap option and viewed the files that were eating up space. There is an option called "Reveal in Finder" which allows you to review the files further. Jos ei, you can simply click on the option "Move to Trash" so you can get rid of the contents. Niin, our conclusion about this software is that it is a very handy software. But we should also remind you about the default option included in Macs (Hallitse tallennustilaa). Tällä vaihtoehto, you can do the same job you did with Disk Inventory X.
If you want to delete the language files that are no longer necessary, you can consider using Monolingual. Through this app, you will be able to clean up those language files and gain less than 1GB space. To make use of it, you can open it and select the languages you don't need any further. Sitten, voit klikata vaihtoehtoa "Poista". Please note that Monolingual is capable of automatically selecting the languages that are hardly used. Niin, we recommend you to check the files before hitting the "Poista" painiketta. This app works fine with the latest MacOS.
dupeGuru is capable of searching for the duplicate files on the Mac. No, it is pretty similar to what Gemini 2 does for you. This app comprises of three different modes called Picture, Musiikki, and Standard. You can choose the mode depending on the type of the files you need to get rid of.
With each mode, you will be able to find a "Scan Type" myös. Esimerkiksi, Kun se tulee "Standardi" tila, you can perform the search using file names. Jos ei, you can search "Musiikki" files through tags. We experienced that the process went really smooth and fast. The results were presented on a screen using a table. We found it really convenient to identify the files that are no longer required. The duplicate files were highlighted in blue color for our convenience. It displays the size of the file the files are stored within etc.
No, that is our review about best Mac cleaner software tools markkinoilla. According to our findings, we are confident about the combination of CleanMyMac ja Gemini 2. Both of these tools are superb options for any Mac user as we believe. They are safe and do not contain annoying advertisements. Kuitenkin, the other software tools we have mentioned in this review are decent options. If you don't want to spend money on a Mac cleaner, you may try one of those free Mac cleaners.

Antonio Guerrero (Salamanca, 1777-?) fue un pintor, dibujante y litógrafo español.

Biografía y obra
Formado en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, en 1796 ganó el premio de segunda clase al que concurrió con un dibujo dedicado al tema de Aníbal visitando el templo de Hércules en Cádiz. En los premios de 1802, para los que en primera clase debían presentar los aspirantes en la "prueba de pensado" un lienzo con el tema de la destrucción de Numancia y en la prueba de repente improvisar la historia de José en la cárcel interpretando los sueños del faraón, obtuvo de nuevo el primer premio, dotado con medalla de oro de tres onzas, con Juan Antonio de Ribera como segundo.

Dedicado principalmente al dibujo, proporcionó numerosos modelos para la estampa grabados por otros artistas. Entre ellos, la Biblioteca Nacional de España conserva tres de los cuatro dibujos que, por encargo de la Imprenta Real y junto con Asensio Juliá preparó en 1796 para ilustrar las evoluciones de la recién creada Artillería volante o a caballo, dibujos que serían grabados por Tomás López Enguídanos, Nicolás Besanzon y Luis Fernández Noseret. Por dibujos suyos se conocen los retratos del padre Pedro de Ribadeneyra, grabado por Esteban Boix, y el de José Moñino, grabado por Juan Carrafa, recogidos ambos en el último cuaderno de los Retratos de los españoles ilustres, editado en 1819. Además hizo retratos de miembros de la casa real, algunos de ellos por pinturas de Vicente López Portaña, como los del rey Fernando VII y su hermano Carlos María Isidro de Borbón, grabados por Manuel Albuerne, y dibujos para estampas sueltas de devoción, entre ellas la de Nuestra Señora del Amor de Dios como se veneraba en el Hospital de Antón Martín de Madrid, grabada por Mariano Brandi, o la Impresión de las llagas de san Francisco para el grabado de Francisco Suriá, que firma también los retratos de María Josefa Amalia de Sajonia y Luisa Carlota de Borbón Sicilia por dibujos de Guerrero.

Para la Colección litográfica de cuadros del rey de España el señor Fernando VII editada entre 1826 y 1837 por el Real Establecimiento Litográfico de Madrid bajo la dirección de José de Madrazo litografió El apóstol Santiago el Mayor y La Magdalena de Guido Reni y San Juan Evangelista en Patmos, atribuido a Alonso Cano.

Above - The autumn crocus, Colchicum autumnale or naked lady, above. The flowers emerge "naked" after the leaves have died down.
Right - Dahlias and other summer favourites often keep going until frost, wind and cold weather finally stop them.
Apply an Autumn fertiliser to lawns - this is different to a spring fertiliser, so make sure you don't get them mixed up. Spring fertilisers have high nitrogen to get the leaves growing strongly, something you don't want now. An autumn fertiliser has high phosphorous and potassium to build up a strong root system that help get the grass plants through the winter and arrive at next spring in good shape for the new growing season.
The best time of year to make a new lawn or repair an existing one. Lay turf or scatter grass seed to repair damaged areas. Don't just throw the seed down and hope for the best. Get a rake and give the ground it a good stiff going over to break up the surface and get a layer of crumbly soil (this is hard work) scatter the grass seed and then rake again to bury most of the seed under the crumbly stuff you've just made. Water it well and don't walk on it for ages - until the first mowing in fact, which shouldn't be until the grass is about 2 inches tall.
Last chance to trim deciduous hedges - If you haven't done this by the end of the month, it's best left until the spring when they're growing again.
Place a net over your garden pond if you have one and if the are trees nearby, or at least check it on a regular basis and don't let fallen leaves sink to the bottom. They build up in surprising quantity, rob the pond of oxygen as they rot and introduce an abundance of nutrients that can encourage excessive algal growth next year.
Take hardwood cuttings of deciduous shrubs. They won't be rooted until well into next year so put them somewhere that they will not be disturbed.
Plant any shrubs, perennials, trees etc. that you had planned to. This is an excellent time for planting and the best time of year. It gives the plants a chance to get a decent root system before they become dormant, it also protects the roots from the worst of frost being below the ground rather than in a container. Come next spring, the plants are there from the earliest time to make growth directly into the surrounding soil.
Continue to dead-head summer bedding plants. They are still producing new flowers, less than in the summer, but they last longer in the cooler temperatures, so they can still look as good as they did in high summer. Dead-head, not so much to keep them flowering, but to stop the faded flowers holding the damp and encouraging grey mould which will take over and kill them all the quicker. Frosts permitting, you should be able to get nearly another month from the summer bedding plants.
Autumn is the time for a garden tidy-up. It's not just an aesthetic job, sweeping up leaves, cutting back dead flowers, and branches removes places that pests can over-winter and also gives fungal spores less places to hide and food to eat. Don't be too enthusiastic about cutting everything back, tall dried seed heads from plants such as grasses add distinctive elegance to the winter garden, particularly when picked out by the low-lying sun or highlighted by frost.
Don't compost leaves or branches from diseased plants - these should be removed from the garden or burnt on a bonfire. Larger branches and sections of tree trunks can be stacked up in a quiet corner of the garden to form a slowly decaying log-pile which will provide a home and food for all manner of beneficial insects.
Saving half hardy bedding plants. Many summer bedding plants are actually perennials and can easily be saved from one year to the next. I have the most success with Geraniums (Pelargoniums) and Fuchsias. Bring them under shelter before the frosts. Cut the stems down by about 2/3rds of their length (don't worry if this means you have virtually no leaf, they should grow again. Strip off dead or dying leaves and flower heads. Anything that can rot over the winter will rot and may spread to the living plant.
They need to be in a sheltered but cool place free of frost. An greenhouse is ideal as long as you can heat it gently during the coldest periods to stop it frosting inside, a small paraffin heater will do this effectively. Leave the plants in their summer containers and lift them off the ground on shelves or on bricks to just raise them above the coldest temperatures (heat rises, cold falls). Water sparingly, they are best kept dry as far as possible as long as the leaves don't wilt. The idea is to keep them dormant rather than actively growing.
Some summer bedding plants that can withstand some cold weather can look their biggest and best into October such as this Ageratum.

Trouble for Farage's pro-Brexit party
The Guardian reports that Nigel Farage's latest berth, a pro-Brexit party. allegedly set up because of the rightward drift of UKIP, has run into similar problems of its own.
The paper says that Catherine Blaiklock, the leader of the Brexit party, resigned on Wednesday after she was asked about repeatedly retweeting posts from far-right figures as well as sending her own messages. They add that among the messages she shared was one by Mark Collett, a former British National party (BNP) activist, referring to "white genocide":
The term is often used in extreme rightwing and racist online activism of the sort seen as having inspired the man suspected of shooting dead 50 people last week at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
One of her own messages read: "Islam = submission – mostly to raping men it seems."
As the paper says this news will call Farage's judgement into question after he left UKIP because of its "fixation" on Muslims and its alliance with far-right activist Tommy Robinson:
Among other tweets sent by Blaiklock was one that referred to Islam as "a non-democracy ideology that is incompatible with liberal democracy". Another said of Islam that it was "perfectly rational to be phobic about people who want to kill you".
Another, from December 2017, recounted being at a north London tube station, and read: "8 people waiting for lift, 5 Muslim girls, 1 black, 1 other Asian Chinese, 1 white. Immediately outside saw a drug deal take place. Looked like Turkey."
She also retweeted a message by the US radio show host and former state congressman Joe Walsh saying: "Haiti is a shithole and it's run by blacks."
Blaiklock was formerly Ukip's economics spokeswoman. She left the party late last year, shortly after Farage, who is listed on the Brexit party website as "supporting" it, and has promised to stand if new European elections are held in May.
She shared 45 Twitter posts by Collett, who formerly headed the youth wing of the BNP, one as recently as January this year. One retweet, from 2018, shows a photo of a multiracial primary school class with the message: "This is a British school. This is white genocide."
Another post by Collett retweeted by Baiklock claims that multiculturalism amounts to "the replacement of the indigenous European people".
As well as Collett and Robinson, Blaiklock also retweeted dozens of posts by the far-right agitators Peter Sweden and Stefan Molyneux, and Paul Joseph Watson from the US conspiracy theory website Infowars. Her own tweets about Islam also included: "Islam = submission, slavery. Western thought = critical thinking freedom." Another, sent 10 days later, read: "I want my country back. I want seaside donkeys on the beach and little village churches, not acid attacks, mobs and mosques."
As gratifying as it is that Blaiklock has fallen on her sword, the investigation by Hope Not Hate, which exposed these tweets, has highlighted another worrying trend, namely the way supposedly legitimate parties are being infiltrated by the right wing. This sort of activity is worrying and needs to be exposed.

If you want to acquire and develop neighbouring land or an adjacent highway but the company landowner has been dissolved, it's important to know your options.
Here's the scenario. You have an interest in purchasing unused land suitable for development. Maybe it is something small like a house extension or widening of your garden, maybe something bigger. It could be subject to redundant highway rights which the local council agrees can be extinguished. You haven't the evidence to claim ownership by adverse possession. However, you know the company that owned it and would be happy to buy the land at its market value.
The only problem is that the company has been dissolved. However, hope is not lost.
There are two categories within which the land of dissolved companies may fall, and both of which will need to be considered and investigated. Each is discussed below.
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, when a company is dissolved then all its property, assets and cash owned at such time are automatically passed to the Crown. This includes any interest in land. Any such property so vested in the Crown is known as 'bona vacantia' or lost property.
A company may be dissolved in two ways: the Registrar of Companies can strike off a company for failure to comply with its legal obligations; or a company can be dissolved after a formal liquidation by its members and creditors. On the latter, only property not transferred or disclaimed by the liquidator will become bona vacantia.
Importantly, if the Crown does not wish to hold specific land in bona vacantia then it has the powers to disclaim such land. If land is disclaimed, it will no longer be bona vacantia and its tenancy in fee simple comes to an end. This is known as 'escheat'. The Crown generally disclaims problematic or low value land such as freehold of adopted highways.
you could apply direct to the Crown to purchase it from them at market value.
Enquiries about purchasing land held in bona vacantia should be addressed to the Treasury Solicitor unless the company's last registered office and its assets are within the counties of the Duchies of Cornwall or Lancaster for which the Duchies' solicitors, Farrer & Co, are appointed.
English land law is based on a system of tenure. A freeholder is not an absolute owner but a 'tenant in fee simple' holding, in most cases, the land directly from the Sovereign (as lord paramount of all the land in the realm). In England, the Sovereign will be the Crown Estates or the Duchies of Cornwall or Lancaster for those counties.
When the tenant in fee simple comes to an end, the Sovereign is entitled (but not obliged) to take possession of it. This is known as 'escheat'.
remaining land owned at the time of dissolution of foreign companies, statutory companies and Industrial and Provident Societies (or Friendly Societies).
Generally, the Sovereign will be willing to dispose of land which is the subject of escheat to an appropriate purchaser at the market value.
Enquiries about purchasing land subject to escheat should be addressed to the Crown Estates' appointed solicitors, Burges Salmon, unless the land is in the Duchies of Cornwall or Lancaster for which the Duchies' solicitors, Farrer & Co, are appointed.
Should you require any assistance in investigating and acquiring land held in bona vacantia or subject to escheat, so as to facilitate development then Buckles Solicitors will be happy to assist.


Ouch! Guess how I injured my neck a couple of days ago? Go ahead, take your best guess. Nope. I injured it while I was sleeping. Last Tuesday I woke up with a stiff painful neck and it left me immobilized for the whole day. Yesterday and today have been better, but Tuesday was a doozie! My neck hurt so much that I had to skip my workout, so yesterday when my neck was feeling a little better (but still too painful to exercise) I thought it would be a great idea to make something called Chubby Hubby Truffles. Swapping a workout for Chubby Hubby Truffles - awesome!
Yep. They're as good as they look! Even tastier than then look, actually. This recipe comes via Brown Eyed Baker, and it's another one of those recipes that are super easy to veganize. The truffles are made with peanut butter, pretzels, sugar, and a little bit of butter which is easily replaced with Earth Balance or which ever vegan butter you love the most. The truffles are dipped in melted semisweet chocolate and then drizzled with melted peanut butter and sprinkled with pretzel pieces. Beautiful, delicious, and very easy to make!
They actually aren't as gooey and soft as the look here, but I am not very good at being patient around chocolate and peanut-buttery treats, so I didn't let them set in the fridge long enough for them to really firm up. The next picture, even though it's a little fuzzy, shows what they look like after they have been properly chilled.
All wheated out for the week, I used Glutino Gluten-Free Pretzel Twists which worked like a charm. I was a little worried that the peanut butter would soften the gluten-free crunchy pretzel pieces overnight, but the truffles were just as crunchy on the second day. On the third day... ha! There was no third day! They didn't make it that long! After I ate the last truffle, I actually scraped the wax paper with a spatula and ate the peanut butter drippings and straggler pretzel bits. Hey, at least I didn't lick it clean which was my first instinct! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Michelle!
Omg. These look so good. Thanks for the link! I will be making these ASAP. Glad you are feeling better. I've woken up like that before and it is no bueno. On the bright side, truffles instead of working out sounds awesome!
Yep. I'm impressive like that. I once injured my back sneezing! It wasn't even a very violent sneeze, but I still managed to pull something back there and it left me injured for a few days.
Oh no! I hope your neck heals as soon as possible. I was going to make a neck joke related to Vampire Diaries, but I don't want to make light of the situation (although I know you'd appreciate a good V.D. reference).
THOSE TRUFFLES!!! Perfection. Love the flavor combination.
Peanut butter and chocolate are such a classic combo - throw in some pretzel pieces and it's all too delicious!
They definitely look worth the calories (I bet each one contains at least 400 Calories?)! Irresistibly delicious!
Sorry to hear about your neck. I just hate when things like that happen for no apparent reason. (Not that I like when they happen for a reason that can be identified. But at least it makes sense.) But at least you managed to distract yourself with what looks like a fine treat. better than fine. More like a "must make!" Who really ate more truffles, you or your hubby?
Aw, I hate injuries that appear for no good reason. Still, those chubby hubby truffles had to make you feel better! They look amazing!
Boo to injuries! Hope things are feeling a bit better now. I'm all for delicious food when I'm feeling crappy and those things are my perfect trufflle! I think I'd prefer them all gooey like in the first picture, nom.

NCAA denies waiver appeal from Spartans' Hauser

EAST LANSING (AP) — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo was taught by his mentor, the late Jud Heathcote, to give back to the game by being part of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
The Hall of Famer is choosing not to do that anymore.
A frustrated Izzo said Thursday he was resigning from the NABC board of directors after nearly 18 years of service. He said he wanted to focus on his team and family, but he also blamed the NCAA for making what he called "arbitrary decisions" regarding waiver requests, including denying forward Joey Hauser's appeal to play this season.
"Joey did have a strong case and I'm devasted," Izzo said.
Hauser transferred from Marquette in May and requested a waiver from the NCAA to be eligible immediately instead of sitting out the season, per usual transfer rules. The NCAA recently changed its waiver policy to give more undergraduate transfers a chance to become immediately eligible to compete.
"We opened Pandora's box and maybe it will never be shut," Izzo said.
Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is among the football players who received a waiver to play in 2019 after transferring following the 2018 season. Earlier this week, the NCAA cleared forward Gabe Osabuohien to play at West Virginia this season after approving his waiver request and TCU got a boost when Ohio State transfer Jaedon LeDee was granted a waiver.
Izzo did not reference any specific decision the NCAA has made, but he said the governing body is relying on people outside of the game to make critical decisions. He said he has tried to be a part of coming up with solutions as part of the NABC, but stepped down from his role because he is fed up.
"I just don't believe I want to be dealing with these problems and banging my head against the wall," he said.
Jim Haney, the longtime executive director of the NABC, said Izzo is not the only coach frustrated.
"There's a lack of trust in terms of the process," Haney said in a telephone interview. "Coaches look at stories about this kid becoming eligible immediately and then find out this kid is not and there's a lot of uncertainty. Tom deeply cares about the game and is a great steward. When his frustration comes to the point that he wants to disengage from the conversation, I think that says something significant."
A message seeking comment was left with the NCAA.
The 6-foot-9 Hauser, who is from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, averaged nearly 10 points and five-plus rebounds last season as a freshman.
The third-ranked Spartans play Virginia Tech next week in the Maui Invitational, where they will also face Dayton or Georgia and potentially No. 4 Kansas.
