Never has this quote resonated with me so truly than when I set off on one of the biggest adventures of my life to date: a solo, year-long, round the world trip.
Though I'm a sociable creature, who thrives on sharing great experiences with great people, there's something very special about setting off on a big trip alone. It's the bravest, stupidest, most exhilarating feeling in the world, but only achievable if you're OK with spending time in complete solitude.
I'm not talking about the occasional night in with Netflix and a glass (or let's be honest, bottle) of wine, I'm talking about getting all close and personal with yourself. Are you comfortable in your own company?
Though, in essence, traveling alone opens you up to meeting people along the way, there will be times when you'll be by yourself under one stroke of fate (even if you believe in it or not) or another. These moments of pure solitude can be nerve-racking, overwhelming and well, quite frankly, very lonely.
The skeptic lot of you, who will undoubtedly be convinced that alone time with yourself can never be "too much," will inevitably ask, "So, why exactly do you need to learn to spend time alone if you're planning on traveling alone?"
Traveling alone is a very indulgent, selfish thing. You're in your own head a lot more often than you feel like you are when at home, surrounded by familiar things. You're your only company, so you have to know how to make yourself happy.
Have you ever questioned whether you really know how to do this? Chances are you've never challenged that notion because you've never spent longer with yourself than an evening, or a day.
When surrounded by everyday things, schedules, agendas, plans and familiarity, everything seems to flow; our time is filled up with routine, which is comfortable, safe, stable.
The nature of traveling is anything but that.
Hell, that's probably why you're thinking about this solo trip thing, isn't it? You probably want to get away from the everyday; but can you be your own pacifier on days when it's just you? What about days when the time doesn't seem to pass, when all you have for company is a novel? When it's just you, a guide book and unfortunately, a selfie stick?
Setting off on a self-constructed itinerary, or for the more free-spirited, on no itinerary at all, brings forth the question, "Guess who calls the shots?"
Of course it's you who decides where to go and what to do. That bit's obvious, but it's also you who has to make every decision, all the time.
Booking a cross-border ticket, haggling for the price of a bowl of pho with the locals, locating your hostel after a nightmare journey into a new place or considering whether that new rash needs medical attention is all on you.
This is a notion which may strike some of you as completely obvious (hopefully you won't think I'm stupid for bringing it up), but many will never have really considered how many of those simple, necessary decisions we never really make or take alone.
Whether it's a friendly opinion, a group discussion or your good old ma's advice that you use to guide you, you have to recognize that traveling solo means all of these touch points are taken away from you.
For some of you (me alike), the idea of being your own (and only!) boss is exclusively a treat, but are you really ready to make every single damn decision alone?
This comes hand-in-hand with the being your own boss thing. Carrying the weight of all your decisions, on top of a 65L backpack can begin to weigh down on your shoulders a lot more if you don't have someone there to help along the way. It's a responsibility you carry in solitude.
Looking after you, wholly, might sound ridiculously obvious, but it brings you closer to understanding your patterns of behavior, your likes and dislikes, your reactions to everything around you and how you interact with everyone and everything. Are you really ready for the good, if you're not prepared to take on the bad and the ugly?
Surprising oneself is usually a welcome phenomenon, and some of the best lessons we learn about ourselves are when we find out we're more capable (or incapable!) of something than we previously thought. Coming to these realizations about yourself on the road is a lot easier if you've taken on the previous legwork of learning to spend time alone before setting off on a solo trip.
Though one of the perks of traveling solo is the exciting notion of looking forward to making so many travel friends, it's so easy to get caught up in romanticizing the whole affair of constantly being surrounded by Kerouac-esque types.
Sometimes you won't click with anyone from your hostel, your day-trip, your snorkeling tour or your cross-border overnight train. Sometimes you'll have to go days without having a decent conversation, especially if you're pressed for time or you're rushing through a backpacker trail to make a flight.
Of course, the real pot of gold lies in finding a solid travel clique who make your days of lounging around by your hostel pool or waiting out the rain some of the best times of your trip, but you won't always luck out. People's travel plans diverge after a while, and sometimes you just have to go your own way, as in the wise words of Fleetwood Mac.
Now, I realize I've been very negative, very skeptical and very foreboding about the responsibility of traveling alone. But honestly, it's one of the best, most liberating things you'll ever do. In no other situation will you learn about yourself so intensely, so clearly, and so directly. In no other situation will you force yourself to do things outside of your comfort zone (like body boarding down a volcano or skydiving from 15,000 ft), and in no other situation will you meet and make friends with people who will add so much to your life.
So yes, it's intense, you're your own boss, it's a lot of responsibility and you won't always find a travel clique, but, you know, what if you do and it's the best thing you've ever done?


Public transport isn't great in Orlando, which is why it's a good idea to rent a car in the airport. Otherwise, you'll be relying on either public transport or a hotel shuttle to get you to and from the airport and the theme parks when you visit. If one of your kids needs a nap in the middle of the day, you and your partner can easily split up and quickly get back to the hotel for a nap before returning nice and refreshed later on. Otherwise, you'll be at the mercy of a hotel shuttle schedule, which can quickly mean your tired child becomes overtired and distraught.
Sure, the theme parks are one of the main reasons to visit Orlando- especially if you've got kids. But they're not the only attractions in the area. Orlando is a cool city with great weather and excellent food. Not to mention, if you rent a car you can take a road trip, which is a great option if you need a break from the theme parks one day. Consider taking a trip down to Miami for a day or two, or head all the way to Key West for a complete change of pace.
If you have enough time, there are a number of different cruises which leave from Miami, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale which range from just a couple of days to a week or longer. This can be a great way to squeeze in some adult relaxation- most cruise ships will have a kids club so you can relax by the pool while at sea.

International students fill UW–Stout with culture
Cameron Parrucci-
Menomonie got a little taste of the rest of the world on Thursday, Nov. 10 for the 2016 University of Wisconsin–Stout Cultural Show. Many international students came together to inform not just the student body, but Menomonie locals about the varying cultures of their home countries.
The show began with an hour of wonderful exhibits. Students donned traditional clothes and created large presentation boards with various information about their home countries and all sorts of photos and objects that represented their daily lives back home. Show attendees were encouraged to walk through all of the exhibits, visit with the students, learn about things they may not have known before and get the college student's delight—free food.
From authentic Jamaican hot chocolate to Chinese candy, eggrolls and fried rice, food was one of the stars of the show. Not just for us locals either; when Gadudhm and Varshae, two Indian international students, were asked what they missed most from home, one quick glance was shared between them before instantaneously responding, "Food! Definitely the food."
As popular as the food was, the show was stolen by the wonderful performances of all of the international students. Through an array of dances, songs, poetry and fashion, the international show was a great success with a wonderful turnout. Attendees were lucky enough to see not only a traditional Indian dance with masterful elegance, but also a modern Indian fusion group dance that showed some serious dancing prowess.
The audience was also treated to beautiful and moving songs by students from China, Nigeria, Korea and some from the U.S. The final act of the show was a wild ride from start to end, as a collaboration with UW–Stout's own drum club came together to help perform a traditional Jamaican dance. With booming loud, complex polyrhythms and a strong sense of beat, it was a challenge to not want to dance along yourself.
The University of Wisconsin–Stout Cultural Shows will always be a wonderful mixer full of fun, culture, love and expression. The 2016 show was no exception.

»What pumps are suitable for irrigation?
Water is always needed in the house and garden. Thankfully, OASE offers intelligent, sophisticated and reliable water supply solutions for every implementation area. The intelligent garden pumps and domestic water systems, and the robust submersible pumps of the ProMax ensure that the vital element flows – effectively and in a manner that conserves resources.
OASE ProMax garden pumps offer an extensive selection of powerful single-stage and multi-stage pumps – from the robust and quiet entry-level model to the easy-to-install and easy-to-operate high-end model with full water capacity. They are perfect for resource-conserving, effective use of well water, rain water or cistern water.
Once installed, OASE ProMax Garden Automatic domestic water systems are always ready for the next use and start pumping the required water quantity automatically when the water tap or valve is opened. Thanks to their complete equipment with pre-filter, integrated non-return valve, dry-run protection and up to five-stage impellers, these pumps are the perfect water suppliers for home and garden. For example, the four pumps of the ProMax Garden Automatic product range reliably supply toilet, washing machine or garden with service water from cisterns, rain tanks or wells.
The submersed irrigation pumps of the ProMax series are easy to install, and thanks to the integrated pressure switch with flow monitoring, they are safe to operate. They work very quietly and with their 8-stage mechanism the pumps make a pressure of up to 5.7 bar available for powerful and fast irrigation or also for the demanding domestic water supply.
Shows the relationship of delivery rate Q (litres per hour) to delivery head H (in meters). In this regard 10 m delivery head also corresponds to 1 bar. When the performance curve reaches the maximum delivery head, the delivery head goes to 0. When the delivery head goes to 0, the pump reaches the maximum delivery capacity.
The actual operating point in the system can be determined with the aid of the performance curve.
A self-priming pump is theoretically capable of sucking in water up to a vertical height difference of 10 m. In this process the pump evacuates the air from the hose line between the water level below and the suction port of the pump above. In practice, due to the conditions and additional fittings, often an intake height of up to 8 m is assumed as the maximum height that can be achieved.
So-called normal-priming pumps cannot evacuate air from the suction line. In this case the suction line must always be filled with water.
Shows the actual delivery capacity with consideration of the complete installation. This is where the vertical intake height from the water level to the pump hat must be overcome, and possibly the additional delivery head from the pump to the sprinkler, friction losses in the lines, direction changes, cross-section changes, fittings, etc. are determined and are identified as required pressure demands in mwc (meters water column) or bar. In addition, the hydraulic requirements of the sprinkler or hand sprayer also flow into this calculation. This means that if the entire loss, for example, is 20 mwc*, the actual delivery capacity of the system is 4000 litres* per hour.
Irrigation pumps are characterised by the fact that with their high delivery pressures between 4 and 6 bar, and at low to moderate delivery rates, they can be used anywhere in the house and garden where valuable drinking water can be replaced with well water or service water, through their help. Thus, in order to optimally charge valves of washing machines, toilets, etc. with water, the combination of adequate delivery pressure reserved together with full water capacity is always crucial.
The larger the hose diameter, the better chance you can achieve the greatest possible delivery capacity.
Also pay particular attention to the cross sections of couplings, connection pieces, valves or fittings. The smallest free cross section in the entire line system has the deciding influence on the undesired reduction of delivery capacity.
In order for the pump to be capable of evacuating the air from the suction line, this line section between water point and pump must be manufactured vacuum-tight. If there is the smallest leak in this area, air will always flow back into the line thus the pump will not be capable of building up the necessary suction.
Thus, when commissioning, if the pump does not displace any water, check all components of the suction line with particular thoroughness. Due to the fact that air is suctioned into the line, leaks are hard to find.
To evacuate the air out of the suction line, prior to initial commissioning, the pump must be filled with water as specified in the operating instructions. The pump can only build up pressure after this has been done.
On the pressure side, always connect a line section or hose of at least 1 m in length that ends with an opened valve at least 50 cm above the pump. This is necessary so that the air evacuated from the suction hose can be dissipated by the pump via the open end of the pressure line, and so that the fill water is not forced out of the pump while the air is being evacuated.
Effectively prevent falling of the water column in the line after switching off the pump, to the water level, and thus after successful initial commissioning they ensure that water displacement begins immediately after the pump is switched on again. In this case it is no longer necessary to wait until the pump has evacuated the air out of the suction line.

Ouzoud Waterfalls are located near the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, in the province of Azilal, 150 km northeast of Marrakech, in Morocco. Ouzoud means "the act of grinding grain" in Berber. This seems to be confirmed by the frequent mills in the region.The bottom of the falls is accessible through a shaded path of olive trees. At the summit of the falls, there are a dozen old small mills that are still in use. One can also follow a narrow and difficult track leading to the road of Beni Mellal. While descending the gorges from the "wadi el-Abid" in a canyon sometimes one does not distinguish the bottom which is nearly 600 metres down. It is the most visited site of the region. In the vicinity, green valleys, mills, orchards and a superb circuit of the gorges of the El Abid River (in Arabic, "Slaves' River" ) are found. Many local and national associations lead projects to protect and preserve the site.

Picture this: It's 2 p.m. and you're already fantasizing about dinner. The problem? You've devoured your entire lunch before noon. While trying to decide between half-heartedly filling up on junk food or waiting it out until dinner, that excel spreadsheet becomes more and more daunting. Quite the dilemma, yes, but there is a solution: munching on healthy and satisfying, low-carb snacks that will hold you over in between meals. If you're on the lookout for alternative fuel (without the additives and refined sugars you'd expect from prepackaged goods), this roundup of 20 low-carb snacks below will save the day.
Read on to take your pick of healthy munchies that are actually satisfying.
What's better than a crudités platter for those times when you're having a major snack attack? This particular dip from Hello Glow proves our point. The edamame hummus spread and colorful, raw veggies are a great snack for movie nights or for packing in your lunch.
Prepared just like those mouthwatering eggs that come in your favorite bowl of ramen, this protein-rich recipe from I Am a Food Blog will be your new go-to snack. Trust us—it's a major upgrade to the traditional hard-boiled egg.
Veggies have never looked or tasted better. This recipe from Carlsbad Cravings proves that when prepared well, broccoli can be better than cake. This roasted broccolini delivers tons of essential nutrients including fiber, manganese, choline, vitamin B1, and more. Oh, and did we mention it incorporates Parmesan cheese and lemon?
This is not your average açai bowl. Instead of a smoothie with granola, switch up your game with these tropical papaya boats from Minimalist Baker. Or, if you prefer melon, try making a cantaloupe bowl. Loaded with nuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and fruit, this is a great recipe to make for breakfast or a midday snack.
Next time half of you is craving a big bucket of fries while the other half is craving veggies, try this recipe from The First Mess. The crispy polenta-coated eggplant slices are baked instead of fried, but they still boast the same snack-worthy texture of potato chips.
Here's another watermelon recipe to enjoy if you're trying to cut back on carbs. Instead of filling up on cheese and crackers, try this grilled watermelon and shishito pepper recipe from Playful Cooking.
This shrimp recipe is not only great for dinner, but it also makes for a perfect low-cal snack. Brought to us by Salt and Wind, these peel-and-eat salt shrimps are tasty enough to eat on their own.
This hemp and ginger green smoothie from The First Mess is the ideal snack for a winter afternoon pick-me-up. Pears and hemp hearts make up the base instead of your average banana and nut butter. Complete with leafy greens, ginger, MCT oil, lemon juice, cinnamon, and fresh mint leaves, it's super energizing and great for the immune system.
Though this Paleo recipe from Food Faith Fitness calls for only five ingredients, it's packed with deliciousness. These maple-baked brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes can be prepared as a dinner side dish or on their own as a snack.
When you're craving a filling snack between meetings, opt for this watermelon seed butter from Sakara. It's both creamy and nutrient-dense without having an excess amount of calories. It also contains heart-healthy ingredients and mood-boosting properties that promote serotonin production. Eat it by the spoonful or spread it on a slice of actual watermelon.
Plain nuts can seem a little boring, especially if you snack on the same ones day after day. Luckily, Playful Cooking is here to shake things up with these exciting (and tasty) spiced nut mixes.
Not only are these diced avocado radicchio cups with honey-chive vinaigrette refreshing, they're also simple—making them the perfect appetizer to whip up in a pinch. Or save this eye-catching recipe from The First Mess for entertaining.
Love avocado but want new ways to eat it? This recipe from The First Mess is sure to prevent avocado burnout. With roasted beets, basil, and dukkah, this avocado tartar is tasty, intriguing, and light enough to devour midday without risking a food coma.
Small but mighty, these no-bake energy balls from Food Faith Fitness are basically bite-size edible jetpacks that power you through feeling sluggish. Packed with cashews and apricots, they're super quick and simple to make. This recipe is ideal for anyone who is extremely busy and craves something indulgent and healthy.
Though berries are revered as low-carb fruits while pineapples, bananas, and other delicious options are deemed less healthy, they're a much better snack than those with refined sugars and additives. If you don't have any blood sugar concerns, eating carb-heavy fruits in moderation is actually healthy. These yummy pineapple spears with paprika, jalapeño, honey, and feta cheese from How Sweet Eats are full of manganese and vitamin C.
This mushroom-ragout agrodolce wedge recipe from Salt and Wind is like a vegetarian-friendly version of minced lettuce cups. Whether you make these light bites as an appetizer or lunch, they're sure to be a quick favorite.
Though white beans contain carbs, they also contain essential nutrients that make them a diet staple—especially for anyone who needs more potassium, zinc, or iron. This cilantro-lime white bean dip from Spoon Fork Bacon is a delicious source of all of the above. This dip is sure to leave you feeling ready to power through the rest of your day.
These little red peppers with hummus and sun-dried tomatoes created by Food Faith Fitness are like ants on a log for grown-ups. In other words, they're a lot more fun to snack on than your average vegetable slices.
Watermelon is having a serious moment in both the health and foodie communities. Inspired by sashimi, these vegan-friendly watermelon triangles from Minimalist Baker call for avocado, sesame, pickled ginger, red onion, and a zesty wasabi sesame oil glaze.
For something hearty yet healthy, opt for this roasted acorn squash and cranberry tabouli recipe from Spoon Fork Bacon. It's so much better than that prepacked salad you usually get at the supermarket (especially if you also choose to make it with that heavenly slice of grilled halloumi cheese on top).
Next, see more high-protein, low-carb recipes for healthy eating we want to eat all week.

By Biotech Express on	 September 27, 2021 Biotech News - Featured
The 2021 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Award was awarded to Katalin Karikó, PhD, senior vice president at BioNTech RNA Pharmaceuticals, and Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, professor in vaccine research at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The pair's decades of research, and teamwork, pioneered the mRNA technology that led to the COVID-19 vaccines developed by Moderna and BioNTech/Pfizer.
The Lasker Awards have been awarded annually since 1945 to living persons who have made major contributions to medical science or who have performed public service on behalf of medicine. They are administered by the Lasker Foundation, founded by Albert Lasker and his wife Mary Woodard Lasker (later a medical research activist). The awards are sometimes referred to as "America's Nobels".
The Lasker Awards are given in three categories: basic research, clinical research, and special achievement.
The Lasker-Koshland Special Achievement Award honors research accomplishments and scientific statesmanship that engender the deepest feelings of awe and respect. This year, that honor was given to David Baltimore, PhD, professor emeritus at the California Institute of Technology. Baltimore won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1975 for the discovery of reverse transcriptase—the enzyme found in retroviruses that converts RNA to DNA.
The Albert Lasker Basic Award, given for a fundamental discovery that opens up a new area of biomedical science, was awarded this year to a team of three researchers for their work in developing the field of optogenetics, including the early discovery that launched the field—that of light-sensitive microbial proteins that can activate or silence individual brain cells.
The 2021 winners are Peter Hegemann, PhD, professor of biophysics at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany; Dieter Oesterhelt, PhD, emeritus director at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry; and Karl Deisseroth, PhD, professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University.

Interview with TV Chef Al Roker
F&W talks to Al Roker, host of the Food Network's Roker on the Road, weatherman and co-host of NBC's Today.
By Melissa Denchak
What was your first big break on TV as a food personality?
"I did a special for the Food Network on the Memphis in May BBQ Fest, and that led to another special, and another, and then to Roker on the Road, which is like Charles Kuralt meets the Food Network. [Kuralt was a CBS correspondent who traveled around the U.S. finding unusual stories about regular people.] It's the network's first show that is really from a layman's point of view. The show is really me meeting and talking to people; some are professional chefs, some are authors, some are just really good home cooks with lovely stories."
What are some of the best recipes you've made on-air, and why?
"This is kind of hard because Roker on the Road really isn't about recipes, per se. It's more about the stories behind the food. But I've had a lot of success doing recipes from my cookbook on the Today show. There are two recipes in particular that people still e-mail me about: One is my chili; people don't think to make chili in the summer, but I've made it to put on top of hot dogs. I actually find that it's better the second day because it marinates and the flavors meld more. The other is this holiday recipe my mom makes called sweet-potato poon, a crustless sweet-potato pie with marshmallows. My mom burns it every year. Out of six kids, one always has the job of distracting Mom. Every year, right after she puts the dish with the marshmallows under the broiler to brown, someone says, 'Say Mom, where are the serving platters?' and the marshmallows end up catching fire and she laughs and gets ticked off. The great thing about it is it could be a side, it could be dessert, it could be anything really. That's the secret-both recipes are versatile. Both of them you can make beforehand. What people love about these is that they are so simple, and they're both versions of comfort food that people like. You can't go wrong with relatively simple comfort food. It's also about ease. Some cook to impress. I cook for people to enjoy the food."
What do you look for in a recipe?
"For me, whether it's in a book or on TV, a recipe has to be simple. I have a short attention span, so to open a cookbook and see a recipe that goes on for three to four pages, well, I've lost interest. Most of mine fit on one page, one-and-a-half, tops. Both the chili and the sweet-potato poon don't take that long. The recipes don't have a lot of ingredients, and they don't require fancy techniques, just basic cooking skills. This keeps them fun and accessible. If it's a chore, then it's boring. The only complicated recipe in my repertoire is Daniel Boulud's short ribs-that's an all-day affair."
What's your favorite episode?
"The most popular Roker on the Road show was one we did on diners, and they just rerun it all the time because Americans have a love affair with diners, and they're so very retro now. People also love that barbecue special we did where we fielded a team called Roker's Smokers."
What distinguishes you from other TV chefs/food personalities?
"I don't consider myself a food person. I'm no Bobby Flay. I'm no Emeril or Paula Deen, and I'm certainly not Rachael Ray. I really don't do a 'cooking show,' per se. With the exception of me and Emeril, most people in the world of food TV are pretty good-looking. Well, Batali is pretty shaky-looking too. But Giada, come on. Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray-these are good-looking people. I'm a normal guy. I'm not a chef. I don't own a restaurant, so I really speak to and for the viewer. They can see themselves as a bald, chubby, black man cooking. Just kidding! But they see that I'm like them in many ways."
What is the worst experience you've had on TV? Any disasters?
"On the Today show we do the 'swap out,' where we prepare a recipe, then open the oven and put it in and suddenly take out the finished product because of time constraints. It was a Tuesday, and no one had used the oven since the weekend-there was a chicken dish still in the oven from the Saturday show, and no one saw it! So on Tuesday, I'm on the air and doing my thing, and I go to reach in the oven and do the swap out, but they had forgotten to put the new swap out in. We'd been rushed, and they forgot to put the finished product in the oven. So I stick my hand in, and what I pull out is this rancid-looking piece of meat that had sat there all weekend. I was like, 'Whoa.' This was live TV, and everyone just broke up laughing. We almost couldn't finish the show."

Boosting the body's natural ability to fight urinary tract infections
by University of California - San Diego

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, and widespread antibiotic resistance has led to urgent calls for new ways to combat them. Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences report that an experimental drug that stabilizes a protein called HIF-1alpha protects human bladder cells and mice against a major UTI pathogen. The drug might eventually provide a therapeutic alternative or complement to standard antibiotic treatment.
The study is published April 30 by PLOS Pathogens.
HIF-1alpha is known to influence the innate immune response, the body's first line of defense against intruding pathogens. Like many regulator proteins, HIF-1alpha is relatively short-lived. To increase HIF-1alpha levels, researchers have developed drugs that delay its breakdown. This same pathway has been the target for drugs now in advanced clinical trials for treatment of anemia.
In this study, Victor Nizet, MD, professor of pediatrics and pharmacy, and colleagues explored the use of HIF-1alpha-stabilizing drugs to boost the innate immune response to uropathogenic E.coli (UPEC) bacteria, a major cause of UTIs. In healthy human urinary tract cells, treatment with the drugs increased HIF-1alpha levels. Such cells were then more resistant to UPEC attachment, invasion and killing than human urinary tract cells with normal HIF-1alpha levels.
Using a mouse model of UTI, the researchers showed that administration of HIF-1alpha stabilizers directly into the bladder protected against UPEC infection. They also found that invasion of bladder cells, a critical early step in the infection process, was reduced in treated mice compared to untreated mice.
Compared with UPEC-infected control mouse bladders (vehicle), bladders treated with the HIF-1alpha stabilizer (AKB-4924) express higher levels of the defense molecule CRAMP (red). Credit: Nizet et al., CC-BY
To verify the importance of HIF-1alpha in the defense against UPEC infection, the researchers studied mice with reduced HIF-1alpha levels. Exposed to UPEC, these mice were more susceptible to bladder infection, and pre-treatment with HIF-1alpha stabilizers made no difference. This demonstrates that the drugs combat UTIs through their effect on HIF-1alpha.
Finally, the researchers examined whether treatment with HIF-1alpha stabilizers would be beneficial against an established UTI. To do this, they infected mice with UPEC first and then administered the drugs into the bladder six hours later. The treated mice had a more than 10-fold reduction in bladder colonization with the bacteria, demonstrating that HIF-1alpha stabilization is beneficial even after the initial infection.
"The ultimate goal of this research will be to advance HIF-1alpha stabilizers toward clinical trials in humans, using versions of the drug that can be taken orally and reach the urinary tract," Nizet said.

Das Steinhardt-Turok-Modell ist ein kosmologisches Nichtstandard-Modell von der Entstehung und Entwicklung des Universums, in dem die Kollisionen der Welten wiederholt stattfinden. Es stellt eine Erweiterung des ekpyrotischen Modells dar, das wiederum eine Alternative zur Inflation ist, die ihrerseits das klassische Urknallmodell ergänzt.

Entwicklung
Die Physiker Paul Steinhardt und Neil Turok wenden dabei den Formalismus der Stringtheorien an, was aber nicht zwingend ist. Eine vierdimensionale Feldtheorie würde ebenso die Rechnungen ermöglichen. Sie postulieren, dass unser Universum aus dem Zusammenprall zweier Universen, einer Branenkollision, hervorgegangen sei, sodass das Phänomen Urknall erstmals in kosmologischen Modellen erklärbar wird.

Aufbau
Die Raumzeit innerhalb der Stringkosmologie, auf der sich die Kollision ereignen soll, sei fünfdimensional (5D). In der Fachsprache wird dieses 5D-Gebilde auch Bulk genannt. Nun gibt es zwei begrenzende vierdimensionale (4D) "Wände" dieser 5D-Raumzeit, die Branen genannt werden (eine Zeit- und drei Raumdimensionen: 3-Brane). Jede dieser Wände repräsentiert ein Universum. Das eine sei das Vorläuferuniversum unseres heutigen Universums, das andere sei ein Paralleluniversum. Es sei nun denkbar, dass die beiden Universen nur auf der Planck-Skala voneinander entfernt wären, jedoch wären sie über eine weitere, höhere Raumdimension, eine Extradimension, getrennt.
Nur die Gravitation könne zwischen den Universen vermitteln und durch die fünfdimensionale Raumzeit gelangen. Auf diese Weise könne sich Dunkle Materie des Nachbaruniversums im unsrigen bemerkbar machen. Materie und Strahlung blieben auf ihr jeweiliges Universum beschränkt.

Das spekulative Radionfeld
Die Ursache für die Kollision der Welten (Ekpyrosis) wird in der Dunklen Energie gesehen, die ohnehin eine entscheidende Rolle im Kosmos zu spielen scheint. Diese Energieform ist vorherrschend im beobachteten  späten Universum, wie Messungen (BOOMERANG, MAXIMA, COBE, WMAP usw.) nahelegen. Sie übertrumpft sogar die uns vertraute sichtbare, baryonische Materie plus heiße und kalte Dunkle Materie um einen Faktor 2. Paul Steinhardt postuliert ein Kraftfeld, das er Radionfeld nennt. Es manifestiere sich als zeitlich variable Dunkle Energie, also eine neue Form von Quintessenz. Das Radionfeld existiere in allen Bereichen der 5D-Raumzeit zwischen den beiden 3-Branen. Da das Radionfeld fluktuiert, induziere es Abstandsänderungen der berandenden Universen. Die Branen seien dynamisch, und es bilde sich durch die spezielle Potentialform des Feldes ein Zyklus aus Annäherung, Kollision und Entfernung aus. Diesen zyklischen Ablauf identifiziert man mit dem Begriff des zyklischen Modells. Mit jedem Urknall, der einen Anfang eines Universums bedeute, sei damit ein vorangegangener "Endknall" assoziiert, der ein bislang existierendes Universum auslösche. Mit der Krümmungssingularität im Urknall sei daher ein verschwindender Abstand der Universen in der fünften Dimension verbunden, wobei der Raum nur in einer Extradimension kollabiere.

Dies ist eine ganz wichtige Folgerung des zyklischen Modells und ein entscheidender Unterschied zur bisherigen Sichtweise des Urknalls, wo der Raum in allen Dimensionen kollabiert. Denn das bedeutet für die wesentlichen physikalischen Parameter Temperatur und Dichte, dass sie endlich blieben und nicht divergierten. Im Kollaps wurde eine Temperatur von 1023 Kelvin abgeleitet. Nach der Kollision laufen die Branen in der fünften Dimension wieder auseinander. Steinhardt und Turok fanden eine sogenannte Attraktorlösung, die es ermögliche, dass sich die Zyklen beliebig häufig wiederholen.

Attraktiv daran ist, dass es die Verhältnisse vor dem Urknall modelliert. Ein dynamisches Bulk-Branen-System könnte daher die Frage was vor dem Urknall war, beantworten. Ähnlich wie bei den Quintessenzen gestattet das Radionfeld als dynamische Form der Dunklen Energie die Lösung der Frage, weshalb die kosmologische Konstante so klein, aber nicht null ist.

Das Modell ist jedoch spekulativ, denn die Extradimensionen, die im zyklischen Modell unbedingt erforderlich sind, konnten bislang nicht experimentell nachgewiesen werden. Abgesehen davon stellt sich auch die Frage, wie dieses Modell jemals getestet werden könnte, selbst wenn irgendwann die Existenz der Extradimensionen bewiesen wäre. Denn für einen experimentellen Test müsste Information aus dem Vorläuferzustand in unser jetziges Universum gelangen. Laut zyklischem Modell käme dafür als einziger Überträger nur die Gravitation in Frage.

I see, thanks. This may be fixed in the upcoming update (but we won't know for sure until you or other people with this problem try it out). Is this on iOS or Android?
I recognized the problem when using iOS. I don't have the possibility to check with Android.
Then we can't offer anything for you to try ahead of time, we'll have to wait until the next iOS update comes out. There's a 50/50 chance that the problem will be gone then.
It will most likely be less than 30 days, but there is no trial period on iOS so that's not a concern.
Thank you for your help, with your last advices I can connect Remote, on iPad, to my Canon 5Ds with a W-E1 card. Live view works. I start to take a series of 5 pictures. And then it stops, stucked after the second one... I have to restart everything (wifi connection, relaunch Remote...). In the settings I have asked to keep the images on the camera. Same thing happens!
What do I miss or forget?
Big progress, but still not fully operational.
This may be fixed in the upcoming update. We've already uploaded it to App Store, but it will only become available in a couple days.
I tried the 3.9.7 iPad update with the Canon 7D2 + W-E1 combination. The behavior is exactly the same as before. I was able to change exposure, set the near and far focus points, return to the beginning focus point, hit the start shooting button, first shot fired, second shot fired, time out error. This works fine wirelessly from a Windows 7 netbook, but not from an iPad.
We're studying your bug report. Do you connect this camera to Windows with absolutely the same camera settings, or do you change anything? Smartphone mode, direct connection to the Wi-Fi network created by the camera? Same image saving settings on Windows? Basically, I'm looking for any possible tiniest difference between the operation of the Windows program and iOS app that could be linked to the error occurring.
Just to be absolutely certain I ran a new test. Using a Windows 10 laptop and Remote version 3.9.7W I was able to set up a wireless connection with a Canon 7D2 using a W-E1 wireless adapter. I successfully shot a 51 stack sequence. I had requested that the images stay in the camera, but noted that an empty folder was created in the "pictures" directory of the laptop. Touching the camera only to establish a new wireless connection to an iPad I attempted to set up the same sequence. The first three shots of the sequence were indeed taken and saved to the camera, then the process stalled and a time out error message was delivered to the iPad. I'm really suspicious of the empty folder that is being created since IOS is so protective of how apps operate and use resources. Is it possible that Remote is attempting to write the empty folder to a location that Remote does not have permission to write to? Where would one even look to see if an empty folder was successfully written or not on an iPad?
Canon 5Ds, Helicon Remote 3.9.7 on iPad with latest OS.
Still the same problem. Remote freezes after the second shot.
Even if the release says "Wireless operation problem with recent Canon bodies fixed"!
It was a different issue that was fixed. For what it's worth, we still don't list W-E1 as compatible (and never did).
Brent, thanks for repeating the test. The empty folder poses no problems on iOS, and, unfortunately, the error couldn't be attributed to it. So basically, we have no idea what's going on. We couldn't find any opportunity to rent a camera body compatible with W-E1, now we'll consider buying one. Until then, I don't think there's a way we can troubleshoot this.
If you like to shoot tethered, this is the same thing but without the cable. You can use the EOS software on your computer or smart phone and have instant access to the images you take, and you can control the camera. the only Con I have is that it does chew on the power, but nothing is for free.


This is our second lesson in Ame-no-Ukihashi, the martial art of the Ninzuwu. If you have not done so already, we strongly advise that you review the first lesson on Ame-no-Ukihashi, The First Hiragana Form and the Heaven Trigram-Qian, before reading this second lesson.
The second martial form in Ame-no-Ukihashi, the hiragana i.
Looking at the trigram it seems to represent two Heaven trigrams standing side by side. We are reminded of the passage in the Nihon Shoki that speaks about divine beings that were produced between Heaven and Earth. Another interesting point about this is that while the ancient Shinto records describe the first of these divine beings as male, Heaven itself is feminine in nature, as well as Earth. This principle is replicated in human reproduction. After conception, the human embryo develops as a female. Only after 6-8 weeks does the Y chromosome kick in and the fetus begins developing male characteristics. This is reflected in the second hiragana, which is no more than the Earth trigram itself. If you notice the first stroke is on the female side, or left side, that being Heaven. Earth is also feminine. However, the first deities between Heaven and Earth were male. This was understood in ancient esoteric science and led to the development of the Mother-Son cults.
The second martial form in the Ame-no-Ukihashi system. Hiragana i.
The Ayaqox is a force that is lust in itself and is able to cultivate the lust in itself in order to transform it into love. What cannot transform lust into love is eventually disregarded as the lust fuels out the principle which embodies such uncultivated lust, dies. This is why the Ayagox is also said to appear as a praying mantis.
The Stone Bowl of Eternity is the wisdom of the Yi Jing itself. This is given to the Initiate as he/she learns how to communicate with the abstract energy of the sexual force. The polarities of the sexual force were inherited by Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto. This information is covered thoroughly in the article entitled, Before The Big Bang: Modern Science Has Only Confirmed What Shinto Priests Knew Centuries Ago.

Outgoing alumni president says innovation key to engaging students The alumni are the strength of our degree. The more we grow, the more prestigious our degrees become.
Anyone that has ever worked with Shawn Nelson '04 will tell you her compassionate nature and love for Clayton State has helped increase alumni giving and engagement for years. Her go-getter attitude contributed to her appointment as president of the Clayton State Alumni Association board twice.
Currently, Nelson works as the Senior Branch Manager for Liberty Mutual Insurance and has been active on the Clayton State Alumni Association board for the last 12 years.
This is Nelson's final term as president, but she is very optimistic about the future of the board and the next generation of Lakers charged with carrying the torch.
We caught up with Nelson to share what it was like for her as a student at her beloved alma mater, her experience serving on the alumni board of advisors and her advice to future alumni leaders.
Clayton State University: What drew you to attend Clayton State?
Shawn Nelson: When I was a Senior in high school, there was a program where you could finish your high school diploma by taking college level classes (now called the Move On When Ready program). I started researching colleges. I chose Clayton State because it was close to home, had small classes and a safe campus. I stayed at Clayton State after high school because I loved the small classes and personal attention that the professors provided. I always appreciated the care and concern that the advisors showed as well as the flexibility for class days/times/online.
CSU: What was the campus environment and culture like when you attended?
SN: When I first attended Clayton State, it was a very small school. It was still called Clayton College and State University. There wasn't a lot of focus on campus activities as the majority of students were non-traditional. I took a few years off before finishing my degree. When I returned, I was able to see the quick growth that Clayton State experienced. There were more on-campus activities and more emphasis on getting students involved. Despite this growth, the professors continued to show personal attention to students. It has always been a caring campus that felt like family.
CSU: Did you have a favorite professor?
SN: Dr. Michael Deis is amazing. He always took a personal interest in me and my family, asking about them by name. I remember a few times when I had to bring my young daughter to one of his classes. He always enjoyed seeing her and was very sweet to her. Dr. Deis was very passionate about getting business students involved in the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM). He even convinced me to participate in the SAM competition. It was one of my best experiences in college. We had a two-person team that went all the way to number one. Dr. Deis was like a proud parent that day. I really enjoyed getting to know him and his wife on that trip.
CSU: You've been connected to and giving back to the school ever since you graduated 13 years ago. Why? What keeps you coming back?
SN: Clayton State gave me a great education. I appreciated the personal attention that many of my professors gave to their students. I feel it's important for everyone to know how special Clayton State really is. It's a great education with a family feel.
SN: I've been involved with the Alumni board since 2005. I've met and worked with a lot of great people during that time. We've done a lot over the years. One of my favorite memories is when we did a pirate float for the Homecoming parade. Our alumni director at the time, Gid Rowell, dressed up as a Pirate. It was great! I've always loved the events where we get a chance to interact with other alumni (like C squared). Things have changed a lot over the years. One of the best changes has been having a dedicated Alumni Director. This has taken a huge burden off of the Alumni board in terms of coordinating events and programming. Now the Alumni board can focus on serving in an advisory capacity which reduces the time commitment needed to stay involved.
CSU: Where do you think the association will be in 10 years? What do you hope will happen?
SN: I hope to see Clayton State alumni increase participation in on-campus events, mentoring, and supporting Clayton State. The alumni are the strength of our degree. The more we grow, the more prestigious our degrees become.
CSU: As you wrap up your final term as president, what is the one thing you are most proud of?
SN: As the campus transitions from non-traditional to becoming more traditional, I'm proud that our young alumni are getting more involved. [The Young Alumni Council] is so involved, taking the lead in Homecoming for the last two years. In addition, they are more involved in the community, taking on Habitat for Humanity projects around Homecoming each year. I'm excited to see this group growing and becoming more involved.
CSU: What piece of advice do you have for future alumni leaders?
SN: I think it's important to be flexible to change. As the world around us changes, things will change with how we communicate with our alumni, how we engage alumni, and what events alumni will attend. Since the main focus of alumni relations is to engage its members, we have to always be ready to try out new, innovative things. Be willing to suggest creative ideas. Most importantly, be proud of Clayton State and your degree. Promote Laker pride on campus with students (future alumni) and in the community. Take the lead in giving, whether it's volunteering or monetarily.


Hi mates, pleasant article and good arguments commented here, I am actually enjoying by these.
Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this informative article together. I once again find myself spending way too much time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a ver well writtten article. I will be sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I will certainly return.
Hi there, this weekend is fastidious in support of me, for the reason that this occasion i am reading this wonderful informative paragraph here at my house.
We are a bunch of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our community. Your web site provided us with useful info to work on. You have performed a formidable task and our entire neighborhood shall be thankful to you.


This week, we're taking a look at Indian horror fantasy Tumbbad, a genre epic being heralded for its stunning cinematography, fine storytelling, and creepy atmosphere. Winner of Best Picture at last month's Screamfest (Los Angeles), it also snagged some awards at the prestigious Sitges International Film Fesitval in Barcelona and was the first Indian film ever selected to open Critics Week at the Venice International Film Festival. Tumbbad takes place in the 18th Century and tells the story of an ambitious young man who discovers his family's secret connection to an evil fallen god. In a classic fable about placing greed above common sense, he'll discover over the course of his life that some deals aren't meant to made. It took directors Rahi Anil Barve, Anand Gandhi, and Adesh Prasad six long years to finish production of the film, but reactions from the festival circuit – boasting both an 8.8 on iMDB and 88% on Rotten Tomatoes – suggest that the mammoth effort was worth it. Still without an American distributor, no release date is yet scheduled in the States or most anywhere outside India as it continues on its festival tour, but we would expect to see this sometime throughout 2019.


Happy New Year to everyone! Last term was an excellent start to school life for our new children. They all settled in so well to our Meadows' family and I am sure that you will agree that they have made such a lot of progress already. I feel that the Nativity was proof of their confidence and positive well-being. This Spring term will be filled with more new learning experiences and opportunities. This term in Class 1, we will be promoting positive learning behaviour using our Do Jo reward system. The children love to get DO Jos for our 9 Secrets of Success. You can encourage this with your child, by asking them what they have had a Do Jo for. As time goes on, we encourage the children to become increasingly independent in their learning challenges and making their own recording in their learning diaries. We are also beginning to look at new ways of reflecting on behaviour and empathising with others.
We will continue with daily phonics sessions. It was lovely to see so many parents and carers in December for our phonics and biscuits session. As you saw children will continue to learn letter sounds, blending and segmenting. During the reception/ year 1, the children learn their alphabet, letter names and letter sounds. (Phonemes). As part of the next phonic phase we are learning digraphs and trigraphs. Some of our Year 1 children are learning different ways to make the same sound such as ai, ay and split digraphs as in the word made. They also learn to write the letter shapes (Graphemes) and are encouraged to form cursive letters correctly. This is something that you can practise at home with your child. The children love to use these skills on Bug Club and also using Phonic play - www.phonicsplay.co.uk at home as well as at school.
Every day we have a FUN maths session. This is time to practise our fluency and understanding of number through fun songs, rhymes and games. You can help your child to develop these skills through lots of counting forwards and backwards. We practise number formation daily using catchy songs. We also keep fit whilst counting to 100 daily! The children will learn these rhymes off by heart and will love to sing them. You will also know them off by heart very soon! We have adopted a very practical approach to maths in Early Years providing real life examples, number problems and the use of concrete resources. Thank you again to all of the parents and carers who came to our CPA in maths family workshop.
We will be learning about New Year celebrations and traditions around the world. This will cover learning about ourselves and our families and a little about different families and their lives in Britain and around the world as we teach children about diversity. We will explore Chinese New Year and enjoy acting out the story using our drama and role play. We will also learn a little about China and how it is similar and different to Britain. As part of our topic we will be creative with dragon arts and crafts and even perform a lion dance. We will enjoys stories from around the world.
We will have a biology scientific focus in which we look at animals and plants. This will continue leading up to Easter as we look at changing plants and animals. Our Year 1 children will build upon their prior knowledge and learning by advancing into our NC science.
The children will continue with PE and Games with Mr Skellern in which they experiment with different ways of travelling, balance and control and throwing, catching and kicking ball skills. They love to learn new games each week and then teach Mrs Fowler and I during outdoor play times. We especially love "Banana Tag"! Throughout the school week, we promote healthy living, during snack times and daily keep fit counting. Children learn about keeping fit, happy, clean and healthy.
We love to see parents on Friday mornings between 8.45 and 9.05 and the children love sharing their learning with you and each other. The drop in sessions will continue from week one.

History (from Greek ἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the past, specifically how it relates to humans. It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the discovery, collection, organization, and presentation of information about these events. The term includes cosmic, geologic, and organic history, but is often generically implied to mean human history. Scholars who write about history are called . Events occurring prior to wr..

Thermodynamics is a branch of natural science concerned with heat and its relation to energy and work. It defines macroscopic variables (such as temperature, internal energy, entropy, and pressure) that characterize materials and radiation, and explains how they are related and by what laws they change with time.

Unidentified gunmen riding a motorcycle shot Pala, a commentator on DXGO radio, while he was walking home with a bodyguard and a friend in Davao City. The journalist, who suffered nine gunshot wounds, was pronounced dead on arrival at the San Pedro Hospital, according to the Manila-based Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR). His companions sustained minor injuries.
In the 1980s, Pala was known for his fiery criticisms of communist rebel groups. At that time, he also served as a spokesperson for an anti-communist vigilante group. In recent years, his radio show has focused more on exposing corruption among local politicians, according to CMFR and press reports.
Pala had repeatedly been targeted for attack before his death. On April 29, unidentified gunmen opened fire on a taxi carrying the journalist, wounding him in the buttocks. Since that attack, Pala aired his show, "Isumbong Mo Kay Pala" (Tell Pala), from his home, according to CMFR.
Following Pala's murder, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ordered the Philippine National Police to form a task force to investigate all recent murders of journalists.


A Remarkable Story at the Back of an Irish Pub.
Céad Míle Fáilte – and welcome to your Letter from Ireland! It's an August weekend morning here in County Cork – and the middle of a public holiday weekend, so there is a relaxed feeling on the roads and all about. In times gone by, it used to be the start of the "builder's holiday". Our own family used to all pile into the car on the Friday night and head off to the wilds of Ballydehob in West Cork for a fortnight of laying about and not doing much at all. We really must head back and visit that part of the world in the near future! I'm having a cup of water from the well this morning – so do join me now with a cup of whatever you fancy yourself as we start into today's letter.
Today, we are going a little further west than Ballydehob, all the way to Castletownbere on the Beara peninsula – to follow the remarkable story of an ordinary Irish man.
The Road to McCarthy's Bar.
Just last week, I published an older letter on the Blog – all about the book "McCarthy's Bar" and the places the book covered in West Cork. Maybe you have read the book?
But bear with me now. Let us head into the same McCarthy's Bar in Castletownbere – right through the front door, to the back of the bar. There we find a beautiful Japanese ceremonial sword in a frame on the wall. You see, there is an amazing story behind this sword – the story of Doctor Aidan McCarthy of Castletownbere.
From Cork to Dunkirk to Nagasaki.
The pub is owned by Adrienne McCarthy – and her father, Aidan, was born in Castletownbere in 1913. Aidan studied to become a medical Doctor in University College Cork, but ended up emigrating for work like so many young Irish people. His journey led him to England, where he decided to sign up as a medic in the Royal Air Force at the beginning of the second world war.
He was present at the evacuation of Dunkirk in France in 1940 – sheltering from the bombardment for three days before eventually being rescued. The ship on which he returned to England was torpedoed, but stayed afloat – and Aidan tended to the wounded and dying on that slow journey back. He proved himself both mentally and physically tough over the coming months – receiving the George Cross for bravery – but he would need all of that toughness for what came over the next few years.
In late 1941, Aidan McCarthy was sent to help defend Singapore with his squadron of Spitfires and Hurricanes, but the city fell to the Japanese shortly after their arrival. McCarthy, along with thousands of other soldiers, was sent to a prisoner of war camp in nearby Java. While imprisoned there over next two years, he set up dietary regimes for the inmates to combat the meagre rations and constant disease. Simple survival must have been an achievement, among the summary executions, constant beatings, starvation diets and a brutal work regime.
In 1944, he was put on board a ship back to Japan with a thousand other prisoners. On the journey, the ship was torpedoed and all but 40 of the prisoners were killed in the attack. A Japanese ship picked up the survivors, but when they discovered they were Allied prisoners, they started to beat and kill the survivors, and then throw them overboard. Aidan did not wait for his turn, but chose to take his chances as he jumped over the side of the boat into the uncertain waters. As luck would have it, he was rescued and brought to Nagasaki in Japan where he was reinterred as a prisoner.
While there, he assumed his role as a medic – but he himself was the subject of many beatings, later requiring surgery to his arms and spine. You can only imagine how far away he felt from his friends and family in the quiet West Cork village of Castletownbere.
In August of 1945, the city of Nagasaki became the last city in the world to receive a direct nuclear attack. Aidan and his fellow inmates were inside an air-raid shelter during the bombing – when they emerged, not only was the entire camp levelled, but the entire city too. The scene must have been beyond words for those few living witnesses. Aidan quickly went to work, tending to the scorched bodies of the survivors as well he could. However, he and the surviving prisoners were rounded up and sent to yet another labour camp.
A few short weeks later, Japan surrendered and Allied troops moved into the area surrounding Aidan's camp. It may have been Aidan's philosophy and training as a doctor that led him to lock the camp commander into a room for his own safety – but that move saved the commander's life as Allied troops marched into the camp with little appetite for mercy.
As a mark of gratitude, the camp commander presented Aidan McCarthy with his ceremonial sword – an incredible mark of respect and gratitude.
Aidan returned to England, retired from the RAF and married a girl from Galway. He continued to practice as a doctor in many parts of the world – apparently never losing his Cork accent. He went on to live a long life well into the mid 1990s, and it was only later in his life that he shared the stories of the horror of his experiences during the Second World War.
And that's the story behind the sword that you will find at the back of McCarthy's Bar in the small town of Castletownbere in West Cork – should you stop there for a sup of drink, a sandwich, or a few groceries even. We often expect to hear stories when we go into an Irish bar – but there we have to story of the bar itself, the sword and the amazing Doctor Aidan McCarthy.
How about you – do you have a similar story of survival and bravery in your family history? Do feel free to leave a comment below and share it if you do.
The story of Doctor Aidan McCarthy has been made into a just-released documentary – you can click here to see more.
