The Best Hikes in Costa Rica
Lankester Gardens: If you want a really pleasant but not overly challenging day hike, consider a walk among the hundreds of species of flora on display here. The trails meander from areas of well-tended open garden to shady natural forest, plus there's a highly regarded orchid collection.
Rincón de la Vieja National Park: Visit the geysers, mud pots, and fumaroles of "Costa Rica's Yellowstone," or hike down to the Blue Lake and Cangreja Falls, where you'll find a pristine turquoise pool fed by a rushing jungle waterfall. You can also hike up to two craters and a crater lake here, while the Las Pailas loop is ideal for those seeking a less strenuous hike.
Arenal National Park & Environs: This park has several excellent trails that visit a variety of ecosystems, including primary and secondary rainforest, savanna, and old lava flows. Most of them are on the relatively flat flanks of the volcano, so there's not too much climbing involved.
Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve: Take a guided tour in the morning to familiarize yourself with the cloud forest, and then spend the afternoon exploring the reserve on your own. Off the main thoroughfares, Monteverde reveals its rich mysteries with stunning regularity. Even without a guide, you should be able to enjoy sightings of a wide range of unique tropical flora and fauna, and maybe even spot a resplendent quetzal.
La Selva Biological Station: La Selva has an extensive and well-marked network of trails. You'll have to reserve in advance and take the guided tour if you aren't a guest at the lodge, but the hikes are led by informed naturalists, so you might not mind the company.
Corcovado National Park: The park has a well-designed network of trails, ranger stations, and camping facilities. Most of the lodges in Drake Bay and the Osa Peninsula offer day hikes into the park, but if you've come this far, you should hike in and camp at the Sirena ranger station.
Cahuita National Park: Fronted by the Caribbean and an idyllic beach, the park has flat, well-maintained trails through thick lowland forest. They are parallel to the beach, so you can hike out on the trail and back along the beach, or vice versa. White-faced and howler monkeys are common, as are brightly colored land crabs.

Announcements | 12 February 2009
Fletcher Building Ltd Half Year Results Announcement for the Six Months to Dec 31 2008
Directors today announced the group's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2008. Net earnings were $172 million, compared with $235 million in the previous corresponding period. This is a reduction in earnings per share from 47 cents to 34 cents.
During the period the group's operations were exposed to rapidly deteriorating economic conditions and a marked slowdown in residential and commercial construction markets globally. Significant volume declines were experienced across the business, particularly in New Zealand, the United States, Spain and the United Kingdom. Other parts of Europe saw demand levels fall away during the period while Australia also evidenced signs of a major slow-down. Higher input and energy costs also negatively impacted earnings.
As a consequence, operating earnings (earnings before interest and tax) fell to $303 million, compared with $394 million in the previous corresponding period. The Infrastructure, Distribution, Building Products and Laminates & Panels divisions all recorded lower operating earnings. The Steel division saw strong earnings growth due to higher steel prices and margins, and strong volumes during the half year.
Formica's North American operations experienced significant improvements in operating efficiency at the Evendale plant, and a reduction in operating costs following the restructure of the United States operations. However, the rapid decline in demand in US and European markets negatively impacted the business.
The interim dividend of 24 cents per share has been maintained at the 2008 level, and is in line with guidance provided by the board at the annual shareholders' meeting in November 2008. The dividend will carry imputation credits of six cents per share. Shareholders may elect to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and there will be a three percent discount applied to the price for shares issued under the Plan.
Total shareholder return was negative 4 percent for the half year, and was impacted by the continued deterioration in world equity markets during the period.
Group sales were 6 percent higher than the previous year, reflecting higher steel prices and volumes, growth in the metal roof tile business, strong demand for concrete pipe products in Australia, and record construction activity levels associated with infrastructure projects in New Zealand.
In response to the declining volumes, a number of cost reduction initiatives were undertaken during the period. Excluding the construction business in which activity levels are high, restructuring costs of $19 million were incurred with employee numbers reduced by nearly 1100 worldwide. In addition, there were other one-off costs of $10 million in Laminates & Panels during the half year.
The Chief Executive Officer, Mr Jonathan Ling said: "We have seen extremely tough trading conditions in most of our key markets over the past six months – particularly New Zealand, the United States, UK and Spain – and demand for building materials has fallen significantly. In light of this, the result for the half year is a reasonable one. Offsetting these weaker markets has been stronger infrastructure investment in New Zealand and Australia, and we continue to have a solid construction backlog in New Zealand of nearly $1.2 billion".
"Looking forward, our current plans have as a base assumption lower activity levels, and in response to this we have a range of further cost reduction initiatives underway. Additionally, we are working to ensure that we scale manufacturing production volumes to meet expected demand levels. We have a strong financial position and we are focused on maintaining this and preserving financial flexibility," Mr Ling said.
Group sales up 6 percent to $3,757 million
Group net earnings down 27 percent to $172 million
Operating earnings down 23 percent to $303 million
Cashflow from operations down 15 percent to $208 million
Earnings per share down from 47 cents to 34 cents
Capital expenditure up 16 percent to $162 million
Interim dividend of 24 cents per share with partial New Zealand tax credits

Q: C# Entity Framework - What happens in the database when you fill a list with a sub query? I have a few models that I fill in using entity framework with a MS SQL Server back end. The model consist of a record and many records that associate with that one record. I use a list to hold these records. In a LINQ Entity framework query, I write a sub query to get the list, but I don't know if I'm making a trip to the database at that moment. I may want to add on a where clause later etc.
This is the way I currently do it:
public class TestOwner
{
    public Owner OwnerRecord { get; set; }
    public List<OwnerUser> OwnerUsers { get; set; }

    public TestOwner()
    {

    }
}

public static class DataTools
{
    public static TestOwner testQuery()
    {
        //Create the holder variable for the database context.
        MyEntities db = (MyEntities)CommonDataTools.GetDbContext();

        //Places the database context in a using statement to have it disposed of when we are done.
        using (db)
        {
            //Get the test owner.
            return (from o in db.Owner
                    where o.owner_id == 44
                    select new TestOwner()
                    {
                        OwnerRecord = o,
                        OwnerUsers = (from ou in db.OwnerUser
                                      where ou.owner_id == o.owner_id
                                      select ou).ToList() //This is the part in question, what does this do in the database? Is this the proper way?
                    }).FirstOrDefault();
        }
    }
}

Note the query where I turn the sub query into a list.
I've been wondering if this is "better":
public class TestOwner
{
    public Owner OwnerRecord { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<OwnerUser> OwnerUsers { get; set; }

    public TestOwner()
    {

    }
}

By making in IEnumerable, I don't need the .ToList but I'm not sure if that will hurt me later on.
So for the list version, what does that do in the database? Does the query partially get run? Is this the proper way to handle this situation? If not, how is the correct way to fill a list inside of the object we are filling from the database?

A: First you should run the SQL profiler and see with the current code how many queries are getting generated and being sent to the database.
The Entity framework generates sql queries based on your LINQ statements. Those queries would be sent to database. Now let's consider your current code:
Part I:
  return (from o in db.Owner
            where o.owner_id == 44

This will return a IQueryable<> object which generated and trigger query in the DB when enumerated in loop or a aggregate function like 'count(), sum()' etc. or conversion functions like .ToList() is called.
Same will happen to your inner LINQ statement. But the difference is every time you enumerate the outer statement result the sub query will be triggered to database because you have a .ToList().
Part II:
(from ou in db.OwnerUser
   where ou.owner_id == o.owner_id
   select ou).ToList()

What if you remove `ToList()'? Your sql will be generated as single statement including your sub query. So enumeration will only trigger query in the DB only once. So it would reduce your round trips to DB.
Further, IEnumerable<> would be a better choice as it supports deferred execution like IQueryable<>.
For Further reading Returning IEnumerable<T> vs. IQueryable<T>

Q: How do I convert a cv::Mat to a cv::Rect I have an Image in a cv::Mat as a face, I need the whole image in a cv::Rect object
I couldn't find how it is done
That or , if possible ,creating the Rect from an image in my directory

A: you don't convert a cv::Mat to a cv::Rect.
you want the part of the image inside that Rect ?
Mat roi = Mat(img,rect);

will give you the cropped region

A: cv::Mat can't directly give you a cv::Rect, but you can create your
own using the size() method of cv::Mat, and by assuming that the starting point of the cv::Rect is (0,0)
    cv::Mat image;
    // load your image into the cv::Mat
    ...
    // now create the cv::Rect from the cv::Mat
    cv::Rect rect = cv::Rect(0, 0, image.size().width, image.size().height);

A: Although, as @berak says, you can't convert a cv::Mat to a cv::Rect, I am guessing you want something like this (untested).
cv::Mat face;   // you already have this with some data in it
cv::Mat image;  // you already have this with some data in it
cv::Rect rect(x, y, w, h); // some place in image where you want face

// copy face into rectange within image
cv::resize(face, image(rect), cv::Size(rect.width, rect.height));

Experiment Sends 4-Year-Olds to Live with The Elderly. In Just a Few Weeks, the Elderly's Health is Unrecognizable!
This article was originally published by our friends at AltHealthWorks
In the old days, all generations lived together to help each other, inspire each other, and share what each is best at: the older generations taught the younger generations their wisdom, the children reminded the older how to live and be happy.
This mutually-beneficial arrangement is becoming more and more rare in developed countries. Many elderly people have sadly ended up spending their last days in nursing homes with infrequent visits from their relatives.
However, we still have yet to measure the toll these decisions have taken on all generations of family. Is the price to pay for the so-called "convenience" of having the elderly generation separated and taken care of in nursing homes too high?
A first-of-its-kind experiment in the United Kingdom was created to find out. To do so, they set out to measure the health problems of the aging community living alone, and then recorded their health after six weeks of spending each day with active and happy four-year-olds.
Health of the Elderly: Before and After Children's Visits
Most of the elderly people in the experiment did not necessarily come from happy backgrounds, but things began to change in a hurry once the kids were introduced into their daily lives.
At the beginning of the experiment the residents of a nursing home were asked a series of questions, and given tests to measure their physical and mental health levels.
The results showed:
1/3 experienced depression
9/10 found life to be unexciting
Almost 100% had mobility problems
Almost 100% were at risk of falling
It all drastically changed after the experiments' scientists designed and implemented a program of exciting group activities that brought children and the elderly to "play" together. The children motivated the older generation to move more, have fun, and remember their youthful past selves.
In video footage of this experiment we see the elderly engage in the following activities:
Showing the kids photos of their own childhood and youth
Competing blowing up balloons using a hand pump
Running in competitive games
Playing badminton with a balloon
Playing word games
Dancing both standing or in a chair
After all of these activities, the researchers' main questions was: Can mental and physical health be improved with this method?
The results spoke for themselves.
70% of the elderly reported being in a better mood
80% had better mobility
Almost 100% were more excited about life
Almost 100% reported being more active
See the video footage of the experiment from Channel 4:
The last question posed by these successful experiments is: How can we make this the future of elderly care?
Other Programs Place Elderly Together with Children
The UK experiment is not the only time the older generations' well-being was improved by being surrounded by younger generations.
These programs are gaining popularity and attention, and will hopefully be the new way of life for the aging community.
The very young and the old are sometimes called the "bookend generations," which are often the most segregated and forgotten by the other generation aside from the immediate family (and sometimes even by them). Giving them the opportunity to spend more time together can strengthen the family bond, and the emotional well being of all members in the long run.
Another S4C documentary introduced six nursery children to adult day care facility members for three days of fun activities designed by psychologists at Bangor University.
The children in the experiment benefited from an increased attention span, and had a chance to work on their social and emotional skills.
The elderly enjoyed the new enthusiasm and energy the children brought into their lives.
But these two are not the only generations that greatly benefit from close interaction and friendship.
Universities and Retirement Communities Join Forces
In Cleveland, Ohio, college students live rent-free in a retirement community in exchange for small tasks. The students from the Cleveland Institute of Music help walk the residents' dogs, put on weekly recitals and concerts, and help bring the life back into the lives of the residents. For the students themselves, who struggle with student loans, getting free rent is a lifesaving perk. It is a complete win-win situation.
Spending time with younger people, helps the retirement home residents fight dementia and even regulate blood pressure, among many other health benefits, reported Smithsonian.
The impact of these types of programs are bigger than many think. Research shows that almost all mental and physical problems are caused, triggered, or exacerbated by social isolation.
Social Isolation and Health Decline
Research done by the National Institute of Aging shows that social isolation alone can lead to disease. A person who feels alone has increased levels of interleukin-6 protein, which plays a key role in inflammation. Too much of it is linked to age-related, inflammation-triggered disorders:
This research also made the following conclusions:
Grandparents who care for their grandchildren stay more active. They are also healthier and happier. (The same is assumed to be true for any elderly taking care of children).
Social isolation greatly increases the risk of an early death.
Loneliness leads to elevated blood pressure.
Loneliness is strongly linked to depression, which in return is associated with decreased overall health for middle-age and older adults.
Universities Making Connections with Retirement Homes
While strong connections and bonds with younger people are ideal, it does not take much to create a world of difference. Rob Lucarelli at the retirement home in Cleveland called Judson Manor, said that just seeing a college student walk by puts a smile on the face of the residents.
"The people here light up when the young people walk through the lobby. It's really quite lovely," she said.
Luckily, there is a growing number of universities who form these arrangements with retirement communities.
Some of the senior citizen communities already cooperating with college students are:
The Forest at Duke in North Carolina
Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame in Indiana
Kendal at Hanover in New Hampshire
Kendal at Ithaca in New York
Kendal at Oberlin in Ohio
Lasell Village at Lasell College in Massachusetts
Longhorn Village in Texas
Oak Hammock at the University of Florida
Rivers Run in New York
The Village at Penn State in Pennsylvania
Besides the U.S., they are found in the Netherlands, France, and Finland.
In a poetic way, one retirement home resident in Finland expressed what it meant for her to have the college students as neighbors and friends:
"I once imagined being the Moon and needing the Sun, so I could shine. Now I kind of expect those youngsters to be that sun for me."
One of the college students she was referring to had the following message for society:
"The gap between young people and the old isn't that big that we can't be friends, and can't interact and get along. In the bigger picture, we can show the rest of the world that this is a good thing, and it's worth investing in."

Q: Prevent Concurrent Modification. Eclipselink (OptimisticLockException) Problem:
Two Admins -> Admin1 and Admin2 Simultaneously modifying UserA from different terminals.
There is a many-to-many relation between User and UserGroup entity.
Here what is happening is when Admin1 assigns Group1 to UserA, the information is saved.
And when Admin2 from different terminal assigns Group2 to UserA, the information saved but overwrites the changes made by Admin1. Means when I check in DB, UserA is assigned to Group2 while Admin2 is not aware of changes made by Admin1.

*

*Is this Optimistic Situation?

*If this is optimistic situation then why this is not throwing OptimisticLockException?

*How would I notify Admin2 about the changes made by Admin1.

Using Eclipselink as below:
    @ManyToMany
    @JoinTable(name = "user_group", joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "user_group_id", referencedColumnName = "id") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "user_id", referencedColumnName = "id") })
    private List<User> userList;

    @ManyToMany
    @JoinTable(name = "user_group",joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "user_id", referencedColumnName = "id") }, inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "user_group_id", referencedColumnName = "id") })
    private List<UserGroup> userGroupList;

@Version annotation is marked over version column which is updated on each operation.
Let know if you require more information from my side.

A: When group1 is assigned to user1, save last modified timestamp. Next time when the request comes to get the user1 details make sure you provide last modified date along with other details.  When admin1 modifies the request ask him to provide the same last modified date which you supplied during get operation. Compare the last modified date  s same as what you provided to admin1 before saving the requestrequest. Basically here last modified date is kind of token. You store a token, provide the same to user accessing the data and then when user modifies the data and sends it for persist operation make sure token in the database matches the one user has sent back to you else it means that the record was modifed and the token is changed in databse and dont allow the user to persist bad data.
Hope this helps.

COVID concerns will keep NBC announcers home from the Beijing Olympics
By Jonathan Franklin
Published January 19, 2022 at 10:33 PM EST
Ng Han Guan
Staff members rehearse a victory ceremony at the Beijing Medals Plaza last week. The venue will host some medal ceremonies at the upcoming winter Olympics.
With the 2022 Winter Olympics taking place in Beijing in less than two weeks, NBC Sports announced Wednesday that it will not be sending any announcing teams to this year's Games — citing "COVID concerns."
"The announce teams for these Olympics, including figure skating, will be calling events from our Stamford (Connecticut) facility due to COVID concerns," an NBC Sports spokesperson said in an email to NPR.
The spokesperson confirmed that the network will still have a large presence on the ground in Beijing, saying its coverage of everything related to the Games will be "first-rate as usual."
"Our plans are evolving by the day as they are for most media companies covering the Olympics," the spokesperson said.
As first reported by USA Today, NBC Sports scheduled broadcasting teams to announce from Beijing covering figure skating, Alpine skiing and snowboarding. However, as of Wednesday, those plans have been canceled.
NBC's Olympic lead prime time host Mike Tirico will still be traveling to Beijing to cover the first few days of the Games before traveling to Los Angeles to cover Super Bowl LVI, USA Today reported.
Mark Schiefelbein / AP
The Olympic logo is seen on a hillside at Zhangjiakou Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou in northern China's Hebei Province on Nov. 27, 2021. The venue will host the freestyle skiing and snowboard competitions at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Officials with NBC Sports told USA Today the network's plan to cover the Olympics from its Stamford facility was a similar strategy used to cover the delayed 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics last year.
"We'll have more personnel there than in the host city," Molly Solomon, president of NBC Olympics Production, told USA Today.
Earlier this week, the International Olympic Committee said no tickets will be sold for both the winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing due to the "grave and complicated situation of the COVID-19 pandemic."
Instead, organizers announced this week that they would invite groups of spectators to attend the games in person.
"The organisers expect that these spectators will strictly abide by the COVID-19 countermeasures before, during and after each event as pre-conditions for the safe and sound delivery of the Games," the Beijing 2022 organizing committee said in a statement.
The International Olympic Committee previously said it only would sell tickets to spectators living in mainland China who met certain COVID-19 safety protocols.
The winter Olympics will take place from Feb. 4 to Feb. 20, and the winter Paralympic Games are scheduled for March 4th through the 13th.

CHANGE OF PLANS FOR MUSIC VIDEO SHOOTING.
Due to the tragic events on Saturday morning where the President of Poland, his family and several people from both the Polish military, and political representatives lost their lives in an accident we have decided to change our plans.
This week we were supposed to spend in Poland to record a big music video and other activities.
Of respect to the people of Poland we have decided to cancel the video production.
The video was intended to feature a deep story, lots of action and several actors, including internationally well-known.
We will now plan for an alternative way of making a video while our thoughts go to the families of the victims and to the people of Poland.

[POL_HV1A2] Gag-Pol polyprotein and Gag polyprotein may regulate their own translation, by the binding genomic RNA in the 5'-UTR. At low concentration, Gag-Pol and Gag would promote translation, whereas at high concentration, the polyproteins encapsidate genomic RNA and then shutt off translation (By similarity). Matrix protein p17 has two main functions: in infected cell, it targets Gag and Gag-pol polyproteins to the plasma membrane via a multipartite membrane-binding signal, that includes its myristoylated N-terminus. The second function is to play a role in nuclear localization of the viral genome at the very start of cell infection. Matrix protein is the part of the pre-integration complex. It binds in the cytoplasm the human BAF protein which prevent autointegration of the viral genome, and might be included in virions at the ration of zero to 3 BAF dimer per virion. The myristoylation signal and the NLS thus exert conflicting influences its subcellular localization. The key regulation of these motifs might be phosphorylation of a portion of MA molecules on the C-terminal tyrosine at the time of virus maturation, by virion-associated cellular tyrosine kinase. Implicated in the release from host cell mediated by Vpu (By similarity). Capsid protein p24 forms the conical core that encapsulates the genomic RNA-nucleocapsid complex in the virion. Most core are conical, with only 7% tubular. The core is constituted by capsid protein hexamer subunits. The core is disassembled soon after virion entry. Interaction with human PPIA/CYPA protects the virus from restriction by human TRIM5-alpha and from an unknown antiviral activity in human cells. This capsid restriction by TRIM5 is one of the factors which restricts HIV-1 to the human species (By similarity). Nucleocapsid protein p7 encapsulates and protects viral dimeric unspliced (genomic) RNA. Binds these RNAs through its zinc fingers. Facilitates rearangement of nucleic acid secondary structure during retrotranscription of genomic RNA. This capability is referred to as nucleic acid chaperone activity (By similarity). The aspartyl protease mediates proteolytic cleavages of Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins during or shortly after the release of the virion from the plasma membrane. Cleavages take place as an ordered, step-wise cascade to yield mature proteins. This process is called maturation. Displays maximal activity during the budding process just prior to particle release from the cell. Also cleaves Nef and Vif, probably concomitantly with viral structural proteins on maturation of virus particles (By similarity). Reverse transcriptase/ribonuclease H (RT) is a multifunctional enzyme that converts the viral RNA genome into dsDNA in the cytoplasm, shortly after virus entry into the cell. This enzyme displays a DNA polymerase activity that can copy either DNA or RNA templates, and a ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity that cleaves the RNA strand of RNA-DNA heteroduplexes in a partially processive 3' to 5' endonucleasic mode. Conversion of viral genomic RNA into dsDNA requires many steps. A tRNA(3)-Lys binds to the primer-binding site (PBS) situated at the 5'-end of the viral RNA. RT uses the 3' end of the tRNA primer to perform a short round of RNA-dependent minus-strand DNA synthesis. The reading proceeds through the U5 region and ends after the repeated (R) region which is present at both ends of viral RNA. The portion of the RNA-DNA heteroduplex is digested by the RNase H, resulting in a ssDNA product attached to the tRNA primer. This ssDNA/tRNA hybridizes with the identical R region situated at the 3' end of viral RNA. This template exchange, known as minus-strand DNA strong stop transfer, can be either intra- or intermolecular. RT uses the 3' end of this newly synthesized short ssDNA to perform the RNA-dependent minus-strand DNA synthesis of the whole template. RNase H digests the RNA template except for two polypurine tracts (PPTs) situated at the 5'-end and near the center of the genome. It is not clear if both polymerase and RNase H activities are simultaneous. RNase H probably can proceed both in a polymerase-dependent (RNA cut into small fragments by the same RT performing DNA synthesis) and a polymerase-independent mode (cleavage of remaining RNA fragments by free RTs). Secondly, RT performs DNA-directed plus-strand DNA synthesis using the PPTs that have not been removed by RNase H as primers. PPTs and tRNA primers are then removed by RNase H. The 3' and 5' ssDNA PBS regions hybridize to form a circular dsDNA intermediate. Strand displacement synthesis by RT to the PBS and PPT ends produces a blunt ended, linear dsDNA copy of the viral genome that includes long terminal repeats (LTRs) at both ends (By similarity). Integrase catalyzes viral DNA integration into the host chromosome, by performing a series of DNA cutting and joining reactions. This enzyme activity takes place after virion entry into a cell and reverse transcription of the RNA genome in dsDNA. The first step in the integration process is 3' processing. This step requires a complex comprising the viral genome, matrix protein, Vpr and integrase. This complex is called the pre-integration complex (PIC). The integrase protein removes 2 nucleotides from each 3' end of the viral DNA, leaving recessed CA OH's at the 3' ends. In the second step, the PIC enters cell nucleus. This process is mediated through integrase and Vpr proteins, and allows the virus to infect a non dividing cell. This ability to enter the nucleus is specific of lentiviruses, other retroviruses cannot and rely on cell division to access cell chromosomes. In the third step, termed strand transfer, the integrase protein joins the previously processed 3' ends to the 5' ends of strands of target cellular DNA at the site of integration. The 5'-ends are produced by integrase-catalyzed staggered cuts, 5 bp apart. A Y-shaped, gapped, recombination intermediate results, with the 5'-ends of the viral DNA strands and the 3' ends of target DNA strands remaining unjoined, flanking a gap of 5 bp. The last step is viral DNA integration into host chromosome. This involves host DNA repair synthesis in which the 5 bp gaps between the unjoined strands are filled in and then ligated. Since this process occurs at both cuts flanking the HIV genome, a 5 bp duplication of host DNA is produced at the ends of HIV-1 integration. Alternatively, Integrase may catalyze the excision of viral DNA just after strand transfer, this is termed disintegration (By similarity). [POL_HV1JR] Gag-Pol polyprotein and Gag polyprotein may regulate their own translation, by the binding genomic RNA in the 5'-UTR. At low concentration, Gag-Pol and Gag would promote translation, whereas at high concentration, the polyproteins encapsidate genomic RNA and then shutt off translation (By similarity). Matrix protein p17 has two main functions: in infected cell, it targets Gag and Gag-pol polyproteins to the plasma membrane via a multipartite membrane-binding signal, that includes its myristoylated N-terminus. The second function is to play a role in nuclear localization of the viral genome at the very start of cell infection. Matrix protein is the part of the pre-integration complex. It binds in the cytoplasm the human BAF protein which prevent autointegration of the viral genome, and might be included in virions at the ration of zero to 3 BAF dimer per virion. The myristoylation signal and the NLS thus exert conflicting influences its subcellular localization. The key regulation of these motifs might be phosphorylation of a portion of MA molecules on the C-terminal tyrosine at the time of virus maturation, by virion-associated cellular tyrosine kinase.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The homodimeric HIV-1 protease is the target of some of the most effective antiviral AIDS therapy, as it facilitates viral maturation by cleaving ten asymmetric and nonhomologous sequences in the Gag and Pol polyproteins. Since the specificity of this enzyme is not easily determined from the sequences of these cleavage sites alone, we solved the crystal structures of complexes of an inactive variant (D25N) of HIV-1 protease with six peptides that correspond to the natural substrate cleavage sites. When the protease binds to its substrate and buries nearly 1000 A2 of surface area, the symmetry of the protease is broken, yet most internal hydrogen bonds and waters are conserved. However, no substrate side chain hydrogen bond is conserved. Specificity of HIV-1 protease appears to be determined by an asymmetric shape rather than a particular amino acid sequence.

Each medium has its own expression. The exhibition almost felt like an orchestra, with each piece adding to the sound of the whole.
I have some more photos at flickr. Sorry for the rather short post, but my college exams are coming up and I feel the heat…so it's back to the books for me. Wish me luck!
Sorry I've been away for a bit! it was just all a bit much, I guess. But not necessarily bad, just much, and I do need my time to recharge…social butterfly that I am!
And there's more cuteness to be had: 2 1/2 weeks ago I adopted a very fluffy white cat from this brilliant local cat rescue initiative: www.katzoektthuis.be. They're a couple of volunteer families spread over the city of Gent, taking care of the stray cats they can catch, or at least feed them. The rescued kitties get a medical check-up and are spayed/neutered before finding their way to a new home.
And with all the piano moving and reorganizing and rocking chairs in the summer, my living room has finally become something of a room to live in!
Her refined illustrations were exactly what I was looking for: They bring the outside in -the natural elements with the leaves and butterflies and organic textures- and the inside out -archetypal references, the intrigueing atmosphere… Lovelovelove them!
They hang above the (now tuned & happy) piano, at eye height. And they really love to be watched from a distance, they almost beckon you, and then you just want to discover all the tiny details with your nose to the frame!
If you're intrigued, check out Vocisconesse's Dawanda shop and the museum of tarot in Riola (Italy), which features a tarot deck (Tarocchi di Connessione, 22 cards of the major arcana) she's created (you can buy it on this page, 7th from the top).
Journal of Mythic Arts: you will be missed!
Have you ever heard of the Endicott Studio?
All on mythology/fairy tales/folk art and contemporary artists/writers/performers! Even though this is the last issue, it's well worth to explore the rest of the Endicott site, blog and former issues of the Journal.
These kindred spirits have taught and inspired me for years…and you maybe as well?
The day itself had its own challenges, as we had been treated to typical Belgian weather the weeks before: showers, winds, all sorts of interesting weather phenomena but the one you'd associate with the usual summer vibe: sun. But miraculously it was lovely, only that sunday! Some clouds, some generous sunny patches…brilliant! You see, we had had to make our own stands (the organization only provided tables and chairs), while I loved styling it I hadn't found the time to design, let alone make a rain-proof stand!
Now how do you style a stand? Is there a manual?! I didn't have much of a clue at first. It's not just finding a practical way to show your art work but also how you want people to perceive it. How to give them an impression of who you are and what your art stands for.
I had sort of wanted people to be intrigued by the look of the bigger items than just the jewelry itself. Jewelry can be kind of abstract if taken out of context -i.e. when its not worn by real people. So I tried to create the atmosphere of my jewelry with items I could drape, hang or hook them on.
I was really happy with how it all turned out -the contrast between the two long winding horns (from that quaint little shop in Antwerp), the smaller ones that carried the ring and some earrings and the pissed-off clay elephant that I had borrowed from a friend: this elephant had the most funny expression on its face (I had filled it with sweets) and on the other hand the funky ensemble of handblown (not by me) vases of different sizes & colors and huge transparant glass rods matching and contrasting the colors of the vases (the ones I use for glass beads are much thinner, these thicker rods are used for glass sculptures and presse-papiers), thanks to my fellow obsessed glass people & suppliers G & Q …even down to the jewelry boxes I had folded myself (with a little help from my KANTL colleagues…!), the little photo album I had assembled and printed (with examples of all my collections and some action photos so people could see this was indeed all handmade) and my address cards.
We arrived one hour before it started, which gave us just barely enough time to build our stand! Officially it started at 12.00h but visitors came flocking towards the market already. We had found a great spot in a corner of a building area, so we could make ourselves a little "fort" with the table. And the fence was ideal to put up all the Dawanda posters Elizabeth had sent! It was as if we had found a Wishing-Table because in no time we had it draped with the black cloths, and all horns, vases and elephants were accounted for.
I wasn't the only Dawandanian there, Ella from Ella since Osix (see picture) who had her stand at the other side of the market came to say hi. She makes these gorgeous, cheerful shoulder bags from vintage textiles. I was impressed at how well she's been presenting & marketing her art, finding different channels to sell and attracting a wide range of customers! Something I have still to learn a lot about.
Also Nadine from PandoraPearl had come all the way from Dordrecht, NL and paid a visit with her friend -she would have participated at the market if she hadn't had such a big sale at her 4th of July sale the week before! She makes lovely wire-wrapped jewelry with all sorts of glass, semi-precious and pearl beads. Maybe she'll be there with a stand next time.
I saw a lot of my friends back as well (I grew up in Antwerp where the market was held, but swapped it for Gent a couple of years ago). There was Mireille (who's creating handmade stuffed dragons and Pullip dolls' accessories which she sells on Etsy, and she's got a jewelry shop coming up there too!) who finally got her lucky, bubbly fish necklace, I saw Liesbet and Tinne back, Jessy and her boyfriend Joris whom I handed my photocamera so he could play a little…and luckily for us we have some pictures now! Dank u Joris… 😀 You can see them in the Markt van Morgen flickr group!
So was it all a success? It certainly was a lot of superlatives for me on many levels. It was so great seeing my friends, meeting like-minded artists and finding out how people reacted to my jewelry, and pushing my own creativity to meet the art market's deadline the weeks prior to it… I even made some sales! Hehe. But at the same time it was also quite stressful for someone like me: that said deadline of getting everything finished on time, and dealing with several people at the time for a couple of hours straight is an introvert's nightmare! It left me dazed & frazzled by the end of the market, and I was more than happy to break it all up and go home. However, after a good night's sleep I had returned to my normal self again, and knew that all in all it had been a wonderful experience.
And now two weeks later I feel achieved and that I have really deserved my summer holidays..and guess what, the sun is finally here to stay!
I got featured in the Dawanda Shop Directory blog!
-She works with textures, both in fabric and paper, has a shop on etsy, dawanda and her own site AND manages (among others) to maintain the Dawanda Shop Directory blog all by herself and writes for DIY City Mag!
But now almost a week has passed and I had my final exam for library school yesterday (it went fine, thanks for asking!). I have also been creating some new necklaces and earrings last week for the"light" collection of duizendbloem…really needed to do that!
And no, the box and the jewelry is still missing and I shouldn't hope on ever finding it or getting it back. But at least I have pictures of most, and some of them were used in Patrick's photoshoot last sunday so at least I have something beautiful to remember them by. Luckily I'm not a materialist, although the whole thing has made me a cranky idealist. I miss them!
That said, I have an art market in a bit more of a month and I'm planning to make the best of it!
Oh, P.S. de schele Rosse is now called Jack, or even Jack the Sixth! He's doing better, although it will take a long time before his cut will heal.

We are an expat couple who moved from the clean green suburbs of Detroit, Michigan to the hustle bustle and poor air quality of New Delhi last year. Pollution was a concept that both of us were well familiar with especially since our company had given us heads up on the air pollution problem that Delhi has been infamous for. However, we were just not prepared for the magnitude of this problem until we actually faced it ourselves. Neither of us had ever suffered from respiratory problems while in Detroit but now both of us have developed asthma which worsens into chronic bronchitis very often. Our immunities have gone for a toss too. One of my friends at work recommended Pollutamin to me and I am happy to say that it has been over 6 months since my husband and I have been taking it and our respiratory problems are already well in control even in the face of rising pollution.
We are Delhiites and have been staying in the capital since more than 30 years now. But the past few years have been crazy out here when the pollution levels have gone to alarming heights. What I am most worried about is the health of my children since they are really suffering in these times. I read an Ad in Facebook about this organic product that helps to nullify the effects of pollution on the body. Initially I thought that this really can't happen. A few days later, a close relative told me that he had ordered this product for his family and the entire family was making use of it. Then I thought of ordering it myself and to my surprise, after just 10 days of using it, we all felt a difference in our stamina levels and also felt healthier. Staying in a polluted city like Delhi, it is important for us to have some defense mechanism against the hazardous effects of pollution and this is what we found in Pollutamin. It acts as a shield for the whole family.
I couldn't have imagined a routine staying in the natonal capital without this amazing product. my family takes it regularly and we can notice the chnage in our health already. Its a must have especially in todays time.
A must have thing at your home for everyone.specially with the kind of pollution level everywhere , this product keeps me protected from the horrors of pollution sprung diseases..A Very healty and fully organic product.
This what I really wanted for my entire family,to save them from the wrath of pollution. I feel it's working already..I am geared for more products.
Thank you Team Bagdara for bringing in such a thoughtful product into the market. I just came across your product and ordered my first bottle. Looking forward to start using it.
I got my first bottle of Pollutamin-PM2.5. My family and I are taking this regularly and we are positive to get benefitted from its medicinal properties.


On Sunday I had a long lie in. At least a lie in of Brocantehome sorts, for as usual I opened my eyes long before the church started making my lane reverberate with its jolly bell, and then took it into my head to set myself up for a morning in bed doing nothing but sipping earl grey, navel gazing and flicking through the Times on my iPad.
While it is true that I am of a sleepy nature and like nothing better than sneaking upstairs in the middle of the most ordinary of Tuesday's for a nap, I have long been averse to lying in first thing on weekend mornings for there seems so much to do and my Mum and Dad have had me somewhat convinced that lounging in bed is tantamount to EVIL. Heck yes: I have long believed that if you lie in bed on a weekend morning you will have to spend the rest of the day walking around with SLOVENLY written on your face in penance, though my friend Kath has been reassuring me that it isn't true and that you only have to wear your slovenly badge if you don't run a colour coded system for rotating your dishcloths.
Anyway, suddenly remembering that I am 42, I took it into my head to lie in. I know– Middle-aged disobedience! But lying there in the muddle that was my slept in tangled bedclothes, didn't seem quite au fait so I jumped out of bed (and made the house shake!), opened the windows and pulled back the covers on my bed, before taking a shower and scrubbing myself head to foot with a loofah and a bar of Wrights Coal Tar soap until I was tingling with the fragrance of clean. Then I threw on a dressing gown, re-made my bed, and went downstairs to prepare a pot of tea and something that has recently become my absolute, must-have in the house, comfort food of choice: a Belgian chocolate and toffee hot cross bun from M&S, served hot and oozing with salty butter. Food. To. Sell. Your. Kids. For.
And then I carried my teeny little breakfast back to bed on a pretty tray and there I was: having a lie in. Feeling naughty. While the sun shined through my window, the wood pigeons cooed me a serenade and children chattered and giggled in their Sunday finest, as they busied up the lane to church. Oh such bliss!
Ah my favourite sentence in the world: you are right, Alison! This being a standard joke between us for Kath does so very much like to look at me as I lecture her about the rights and wrongs of life and food and friends, as if to say, well now I don't agree and I do wish you would shut up, and then later has to frequently hang her head in shame when she discovers for herself that I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG.
So there I was, doing my victory happy dance with my hand inside the rather generous dip of a South African bottle of red, when Kath looked glum and said, am I ever right about anything? Have you learned anything from me? And then I was busy paying stupid amounts of money for not a lot of food, and didn't get to answer, but came to the conclusion as I lay amongst cool sheets on Sunday that yes, Kath was absolutely right about the joys of a sleepy lie in!
And she is also right about ten million other things that I have somehow come to know as ABSOLUTELY TRUE almost by osmosis over the ten years I have known and loved her. She doesn't know you see, that I do my victory, happy, Alison is right dance because I feel I so very rarely am, but spout all my nonsense anyway, sometimes just for the sake of filling a gap in the conversation, and that I regard everything she is, and does and feels to be utterly true and totally right and barely worth arguing about even when we are both riddled with PMT and only have each other to niggle at!
Other people have such a lot to teach us don't they? From Helen I know that clean smells of coal tar and that achievement takes exhausting dedication. From Kath I know that a tidy house needs a tidy mind and that Breaking Bad is really rather excellent. From Rich, that with humility we can rise out of our darkest hour and that French Onion soup requires a generous dollop of Marmite, and from another man I knew, that we cannot get carried away by the promise of frivolity: that life has to be attended to and that above all else, truth matters. From Mark I have learnt that when a smile comes from deep inside, it lights up our whole face and that we are parenting as best we know how, and from my Mum and Dad, too many things to list, because being a 42 year old teenager I rather hate to admit that they are usually (but not always!) right about just about everything from why walls should be white to whether Finn is faking his latest ailment and all manner of things in-between.
But bless them, they were wrong about the bliss of a lie in on a Sunday morning. And Kath is very definitely wrong about those colour-coded dishcloths.


A Glendale-based school that serves students with severe emotional and behavioral problems on Thursday bid farewell to its largest graduating class since its founding in 1976.
The class of 2011 included four students upon whom were conferred high school diplomas from the school districts in their cities of residence. The graduating seniors were: Nirandon Bonnyindee, Cristian Ramos, Damion Smith and Shaddai Wade.
An additional 19 students celebrated their culmination from Tobinworld — enrollees term out of the school at age 22. Most will proceed on to adult-appropriate programs where they will continue to master life skills.
Tobinworld provides a highly structured environment with onsite social services in order to accommodate its 300 students, all of whom have disabilities, including autism. It draws from 22 public school districts throughout Southern California.
Those earning high school diplomas will move on to community colleges and part-time jobs, said Ray Hairapatian, administrative coordinator for the school.
Smith, 17, of Los Angeles, said he was sorry to say goodbye to classmates, teachers and counselors, but was excited for the next step. He plans to enroll at Los Angeles City College in the fall to study French and video game design.
Ramos, 19, of North Hollywood, said he was ready to say farewell to the school bus and hello to adult life.
"What kept me going was me finally moving on to college," Ramos said.

Time for the FCC to Take Parent's Concerns Seriously
By Mario Diaz, Esq.March 13, 2019LBB, News and Events, Sanctity of Life, Sexual Exploitation
In a recent Public Notice, the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Media Bureau sought comments on "the accuracy of the television content rating system, known as the TV Parental Guidelines, and the ability of the governing body for TV ratings, the TV Parental Guidelines Oversight Monitoring Board, to oversee the rating system and address public concerns."
We thank those of you who took the time to write comments in response to our post. It is important for the commission to hear from you personally.
Your voice will also be heard as a supporter of Concerned Women for America (CWA). We submitted an official comment on your behalf, asking the FCC to "put American families
first." In it, we argue the current rating system benefits the big entertainment conglomerates to the detriment of families and, especially, children.
An effort that was presented as aiming to benefit the public has in fact developed, unsurprisingly, into a system benefiting those who control it, the entertainment industry. Television is more dangerous for families today than it was before this system was devised.
You ask, "Are programs with violent, sexual, or other content that may be inappropriate for children being rated accurately?" No, they are not. Graphic sexual scenes, adult topics, violence, and profanity are routinely rated as appropriate for children. TV-14 and TV-PG ratings are routinely abused to peddle violent, lewd, and salacious content, to the horror of parents who are helpless once their children are exposed to the material without proper warning. This is, of course, an ideal business model which gives advertisers a much larger audience, but it is most certainly not in the best interest of families.
A major breakdown in the implementation of the rating system is the unaccountability of the industry-proposed and self-governing Oversight Monitoring Board (OMB). Here, too, we raise serious concerns on your behalf.
This is a darkly covered body overwhelmingly composed of industry members who even get to choose the very few advocates for families that are part of it. Transparency, which should be at the core of such a body, is virtually non-existent. There is no record of their meetings, when and how often they meet, what is discussed — everything is secret. How can the public feel any assurance that their complaints are being handled appropriately when the people they are complaining about get to judge themselves in secret with virtually no accountability?
The entertainment industry has been masterful in keeping this body under a deep cloud. Most parents do not have any idea that OMB even exists, let alone who is a member of it. They are completely unaccountable. How can we allow this to continue? CWA supporters can't believe it when we inform them that not even a representative of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is part of this mysterious group. And since no press is allowed in the meetings either, can there be any doubt that the public is systematically and intentionally being kept in the dark on this process?
We conclude by urging the FCC to intervene.
It is time the FCC takes the concerns of parents in this area seriously and exercises the considerable power Congress has granted it to act in the best interest of the public. The entertainment industry has been granted the chance it wanted to do the right thing by families and come up with a process that could empower citizens with the information they need to make the best decisions for their families. But it has taken advantage of the public, betraying our trust, and it is time for the FCC to intervene.
