It seems that the Indian auto lovers are not going to have to wait much longer for the diesel variant of the Tata Nano. It seems now that the Delhi Auto Expo 2012 is going to be the forum that Tata India may choose for launching its diesel variant of the Tata Nano, which is regarded the world over as the cheapest car available anywhere. Though the Auto Expo is going to witness a series of launches, it now seems that come 7th of January, 2012 (the day the auto show starts), the diesel variant of the Tata Nano is going to be the most anticipated vehicle. The one thing that can be surely said about this vehicle is its exceptional fuel efficiency, which is expected to be upwards of 32km/liters.
The twin-cylinder 800cc engine provided to the Tata Nano is expected to achieve a maximum power of 35Bhp and also have a peak torque of 110Nm. Most of the features that this car possesses is basically upgrades of the features of the petrol variant of the Nano. The suspension set-up has been improved and power steering along with anti-roll bars has been provided with a view to improve handling and performance related aspects of this car. The diesel variant will be able to retain the 105kmph top speed that this car has been provided with. Car manufacturers have rarely been seen to offer diesel variants in the budget segment as diesel technology is quite expensive, which makes it nearly impossible for the manufacturers to offer these vehicles at low costs.
In fact, rumors pointing to the above-mentioned fact are doing rounds of the market these days. The price of the diesel variant of the Tata Nano is expected to go up and be in the range of Rs.2 Lakh to Rs.3 Lakh. However, this fact does not bring an end to the image that Tata Motors has of providing the cheapest car in the world. Although the leading auto manufacturer from India has significantly increased the price of its diesel variant Tata Nano, it has ensured that its consumers are ideally compensated for this increase in price. It has gone for a totally redefined interior, making the Nano much more exciting with newer color tones as well as increased comfort.

Soup Vans launch mobile pantry service
Food Crisis
New mobile pantry service launched
Unlike our traditional night-time soup vans, this program runs during the day and involves loading one of our vans to the brim with store-cupboard food, fruit and veg, eggs, frozen meat, toiletries and household products, and taking it out to locations where people can take what they need for free. The service was developed with knowledge born in the pandemic.
Prior to COVID-19, our soup vans were a well-known presence on Melbourne's streets every night serving soup, sandwiches, pies, quiches and fruit.
"It was all 'eat today food'," says Melissa Walton, State Soup Van Manager. "But when the pandemic hit, we had to adapt to packing and delivering 'hampers' – supermarket shopping bags full of groceries and fresh veg – and leaving them on people's doorsteps."
After restrictions eased and the soup vans returned to the streets, Vinnies surveyed people using the service and the feedback was that many people with cooking facilities liked getting the hampers and being able to cook for themselves.
"The mobile pantries are the bridge between what we were doing before where people were coming to us for food to eat that night – and the hampers.
"The difference with the mobile service is that people are now not limited to what we can put into one or two supermarket shopping bags and deliver to them," says Melissa. "They can come and choose what they need. That element of choice and agency is very important."
Vinnies was also aware that some people were not accessing the soup vans because they had anxiety issues or did not feel safe out at night. "So the day-time service is answering those people's needs," says Melissa.
Now the soup vans run a combination of all three delivery modes. Some hampers are still dropped to people in areas where services are limited or if they have dietary or mobility issues, the mobile pantries go out regularly and our traditional soup van services are still out every night. The mobile pantry was launched in the inner city and has now started in Berwick, running monthly, serving around 100 people each time. The stops include a train station and shopping centre carpark, as well as a boarding house and women's refuge.
Tessie, lead volunteer at Berwick, says: "The women's refuge is at the end of our route so we give them everything we have left and they're really happy with that. Many have come to the refuge with nothing but their children and the clothes they were wearing. We have also been sourcing baby clothes and nappies for them.
"I was worried that we may not get enough volunteers for the day-time service, but actually I had lots of interest and it suits some people better. We need more volunteers for the night-time soup van runs though too, and always welcome new 'Vannies'."
Demand for the Berwick Soup Van service that goes out twice weekly has increased by 39% in the past year.
"The demographic has changed too in that more large families are using the service," says Tessie. "We are so busy. We leave with the van absolutely full. We're making double the sandwiches, double the meals we did from earlier this year."
Demand doubled during the pandemic and continues to rise. Last year, we served 600,000 meals across all eight hubs.
People using the mobile pantry in Berwick say the service has made a real difference, especially during the cost of living crisis, saving them up to $50 a week on groceries.
Jimmy, who has health issues, has been a familiar face at the soup van for 13 years and is now using the mobile pantry.
"There's a lot of food in there," he says, pointing to his basket full of groceries. "God knows what that would have cost at the supermarket. It means I've got extra money in my pension because Vinnies has provided me with eggs, milk, cereal and lots of other food. When the rent goes up, and the electricity and gas, I can manage. It all adds up, so this really helps."

during my time spent in operations, i would chat with the chefs and try to learn a thing or two on how the ordered dishes were being prepped, and a little amazed and enticed by the exotic dish names. like "fresh kumamoto oyster with wasabi yogurt creme lime zest" "pan seared wagyu beef" - i face this everyday.
get a nice salad bowl, and mix the diced apples and sour cream together. mix them well.
once done, neatly placed your salmon on the apples. or in whatever creative presentation manner that would earn you more than 50 likes on instagram. best served chilled.
i was wondering if is there any form of cooking required of the salmon? or do you just serve them straight out from the refrigerator?
hello! nope there is no form of cooking required for smoked salmons. as it has already been cured/ aka processed. yup so its fine serving it straight out from the packaging/ refrigerator.

The Wife of Machine Gun Kelly
January 26, 2016 by Seth Ferranti Leave a Comment
*These are excerpts from the book Kathryn Kelly: The Moll behind Machine Gun Kelly by Barbara Casey.
Several years ago, thousands of our citizens shivered in fear of a kidnapper whose name had much to do with the terror he engendered: he was called Machine Gun Kelly. However, there was someone far more dangerous than Machine Gun Kelly. That was Machine Gun Kelly's wife.
J. Edgar Hoover, 1938, Persons in Hiding
In Oklahoma City, the case was being tried in the building that housed the post office, federal offices, and courthouse. Surrounded by armed officers, entry into the courtroom was allowed only with a pass after taking an elevator to the seventh floor and then climbing two flights of stairs to the ninth floor. In addition, everyone was required to be "patted down." Inside, there wasn't an empty seat available, the "electric air charged with excitement," as it was reported on film. It was the first time movie equipment with sound had been permitted in a federal courtroom.
There were other "firsts" as well. It was the first kidnapping trial after the passage of the "Lindbergh Law," making kidnapping a federal crime. It was the first major case solved by J. Edgar Hoover's evolving and powerful Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was the first crime in which defendants were transported by airplane. And, at the time, it was the largest ransom ever paid—two hundred thousand dollars, the equivalent of about three million dollars in today's currency. The date was October 12, 1933, and George "Machine Gun" Kelly and his wife, Kathryn, were on trial for the kidnapping of wealthy Oklahoma City oil man, Charles F. Urschel.
From the old photographs and film footage that have survived, George appears uneasy and sullen, wearing a dark suit, silk tie, and white shirt; and even though smoking was forbidden in the courtroom, cameramen captured him smoking several cigarettes. The facial cuts and large bump on the side of his head that he had received from federal agent J. C. White two days earlier are also visible.
Kathryn seems to have enjoyed the attention as she fluffs her hair and smiles confidently into the flashing and whirring cameras and posing for newsreel cameramen from Fox, Paramount, and other agencies that had followed them to Oklahoma City from Memphis where they were arrested. Fashionably dressed in high heels, a black satin dress decorated with feather epaulettes, and a hat perched jauntily on one side of her head, the members of the press and spectators alike were captivated by this tall, attractive, green-eyed brunette.
Many brought their lunch so as not to lose their seats. Some members of the press noted the "Roman holiday" atmosphere. Everyone watched as Kathryn and her husband, the notorious Machine Gun Kelly, awaited their much-anticipated verdicts.
It was the era of Prohibition. Formally known as the Volstead Act and called the "greatest social experiment of modern times" by President Calvin Coolidge, it provided for easy profits to be made by the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages (defined as anything more than one-half of one percent alcohol).
It was during this period that the country was just recovering from World War I—the "War to End All Wars"—and there was created the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 designed to aid farmers in difficult times with federal subsidies and low-interest loans. The Great Depression was devastating the rich and poor alike; and many across the country were waking up to find themselves in the midst of the Dust Bowl. It was a time referred to by historians and journalists as the "Dirty Thirties."
Images from across the country included long breadlines, make-shift relief camps, protest marches and severe dust storms sweeping over the western plains. This reality, as stark as the images, was only made worse by the stock-market crash in 1929 and the national income fell by almost half. Out of desperation, many turned to activities that were illegal in order to survive. "Public enemies" such as John Dillinger, the Ma Barker gang, and Bonnie and Clyde, just starting to enter into the consciousness of America, were looked upon more as heroes rather than criminals as they traded gunfire with police and agents from a fledgling Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was in this environment that Ora, who worked in a grocery store, soon joined her husband in his bootlegging operations in order to make ends meet. For additional income, the couple also rented out rooms to criminals on the run for fifty dollars a night at their ranch near Paradise, Texas.
Wanting to leave the old, weather-beaten farmhouse for a better life, Kathryn left her daughter, Pauline, behind to be taken care of by Ora and Boss along with his five children and, at the age of twenty-nine, married a Texas bootlegger named Charlie Thorne. This was Kathryn's third marriage, and, like her mother, she soon got involved in the bootleg business, often making the illegal deliveries.
Not long after they were married, while away visiting relatives, she learned that Charlie was cheating on her. On the way home, she stopped to get gas and told the station attendant that she was on her way to Coleman, Texas, "to kill that God-damned Charlie Thorne." It wasn't the first time she had threatened to kill her husband. The next day Thorne was found shot to death with Kathryn's gun. Even though Thorne was illiterate, he had left a typed-written note that included his typed signature claiming that he "couldn't live with or without Kathryn. Hence, I am departing this life," the note stated.
At first the coroner ruled that Kathryn had shot Charlie in self-defense. Later, in spite of the rumors that Kathryn had threatened to kill Charlie on numerous occasions, and a general knowledge that Charlie, who couldn't read or write, had probably never used the word "hence" in his life, a coroner's jury ruled that Charlie had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound between the eyes, thereby making it a suicide. The locals believed otherwise, however, claiming that the coroner and Kathryn were "friends."
Apparently criminal behavior ran in Kathryn's family. In addition to her mother's bootlegging operation, she had two uncles serving time in Leavenworth, one for stealing automobiles, the other for counterfeiting. Her aunt was a prostitute and her cousin was a bootlegger. Over the next few years Kathryn was arrested several times for various crimes, including robbery in Oklahoma City where she was convicted as Mrs. J.E. Burnell. This was later reversed on appeal. She also spent time in jail for prostitution and for receiving stolen goods. It is reported that in order to avoid arrest for a robbery she was involved in, she disposed of a packet of diamonds worth over ten thousand dollars by flushing them in a hotel toilet. In Fort Worth, Kathryn was convicted of shoplifting as "Dolores Whitney," but was released on a technicality without returning the money.
With that money and the money she had from her deceased husband, Charlie Thorne, she was able to improve her wardrobe and spend hours listening to jazz in the clubs and bars she patronized around Fort Worth. Working as a manicurist in Fort Worth at this time, Kathryn was frequently invited out on dates by local businessmen. Quite often, they would wind up on a deserted road where the businessman would be hijacked. Afterwards, by their prearranged agreement, the thief would split the money with Kathryn. One businessman in particular told a friend that the innocent little girl he was going to show a good time took him "to more speakeasies, more bootleg dives, and more holes in the wall than I thought existed in all of Texas. She knows more bums than the Police Department. She can drink liquor like water. And she's got some of the toughest women friends I ever laid eyes on!" It was a story that J. Edgar Hoover liked to repeat years later.
With her good looks, free spirit, and taste for the "better things" in life, Kathryn never lacked for male companionship. She became involved with another bootlegger, R.L. "Little Steve" Anderson, known as "Tulsa's leading bootlegger," who was doing business with a dark Irish southerner who called himself George R. Kelly. There is some speculation that Kathryn was responsible for "Little Steve" hiring George, and that she had first met George at Leavenworth while he was serving time on a conviction of bootlegging and she was at the prison visiting her uncles.
Other accounts have Kelly meeting her for the first time at a Fort Worth speakeasy where he was meeting with his new rum-running partner "Little Steve" Anderson. Kathryn was "Little Steve's" girlfriend. Whether it was at Leavenworth or through his association with "Little Steve" that Kathryn first met George, it wasn't long before they fell in love. Kelly used his undersized cache of bootleg and bank robbery money and oversized boasts of his business activities to dazzle Kathryn into accepting his proposal of marriage; and on September 30, 1930, after taking "Little Steve's" Cadillac and pedigreed bulldog, they drove to Minneapolis where they were married by a Methodist minister.

Even though Nashville's Deacon has had a string of gorgeous girls come and go since the prime time drama launched in 2012, I think it's safe to say we all know that there's really only one woman for him. Good ol' Rayna James.
Which is kind of like Deacon's off-camera life. His real life as Chip Esten where there's only been one woman for him for almost 30 years.
According to The Tennessean, the daily newspaper in Nashville, Esten married his college sweetheart Patty Hanson, but first, he had to win her love.
Hanson was the blond girl who rode a moped around the William & Mary campus in Virginia. "All I knew is that she was gorgeous and she was taken," Esten said.
Unbeknownst to Esten, Hanson and her boyfriend broke up during her junior year.
That eventually led to a lunch date. And then, 23 years ago, a wedding date.
Let's hope art imitates life on this week's Nashville when Deacon needs to hold on to his one true love for dear life.


This is a detail from John Hurt's funeral shroud.
You only saw it fleetingly onscreen for a couple of seconds, and you never would have seen it close up. But the production designers put this much attention into a simple prop. It makes you realize just how impoverished by comparison most other genre movies really are.

Marek Zidlicky resigns for one year with New Jersey
By yave1964,
June 4, 2014 in Rumors -Trades - Free Agents
Marek Zidlicky resigned for a simple one year 4 million dollar deal with the New Jersey Devils thinning out an already thin bunch of defenseman in this years free agent class.
Zidlicky who counts teammate Patrik Elias as his closest friend in the game will stay with New Jersey where he put up 42 points good for 20th among all defenseman in the league. He led the team in power play points. He stated earlier in the year that he hoped to resign with New Jersey especially if they brought fellow Czech Jaramir Jagr back. The Devils are quietly locking up their key components for next year.
The fact that they have moved no closer to resigning Marty Brodeur speaks volumes after the way they have under the radar resigned both Jagr and Zidlicky.
MadDevil
Glad Zids will be back for another season, although I do wonder how Lou is going to clear the logjam they have on defense. Greene, Zidlicky, Volchenkov, Salvador, and Harrold are all signed for next year. Fayne, who is UFA, should get signed. And then you've got the kids. Larsson and Gelinas won't be exempt from waivers next year, and really have nothing left to prove in the AHL. Merrill is the one who could be sent down, but the coaching staff really likes him. So that's 9 bodies to fill out 6 roster spots. I hope the plan isn't to just let Fayne walk to clear a spot, while keeping the inept pylon that is Salvador, and the overpaid Volchenkov (I do still like him, but his contract is hideous).
I was hoping the Wings could sign Zidlicky, if they lose out on Boyle. He is an under the radar solid offensive minded d-man. I think he took less money to stay in New Jersey with Jagr and Elias, and quite frankly I respect that. Too many players it is all about the biggest bucks, Zidlicky accepting a one year deal at 4 million bucks, while certainly not chicken feed is equally certain less than he could have made on the open market. Good on him.

'Making Apes' Premieres in Los Angeles
by Scott Essman
When the filmmakers behind the original Planet of the Apes released the science-fiction movie in the spring of 1968, few in the industry or the audience realized that the project would completely transform the milieu of make-up effects and the entire cinematic world at large. That impact is still being felt today. With its myriad believable and iconic simian characters, Planet of the Apes simultaneously raised the bar for the genre and the potential of prosthetic make-up—due in large part to the innovations of creative make-up designer John Chambers and his team of artists, many of whom were newcomers in the field.
Jill Smith and Bobby Porter
Now, a reverential documentary, Making Apes: The Artists Who Changed Film, showcases the remarkable make-up artistry in Planet of the Apes, giving a new voice to these groundbreaking craftspeople for the first time on film. Directed by William Conlin and conceived by Tom Burman, Chambers' key apprentice on Apes throughout 1967, Making Apes heralds artists who, other than Chambers and 20th Century Fox make-up department head Dan Striepeke, did not receive screen credit nor individual acclaim at the time of the film's initial prominence.

At the University of Southern California, a recent Los Angeles-based premiere of the film brought out not only many of the crew from 1968's Planet of the Apes, but also the top names who are currently make-up stalwarts in the industry, profoundly influenced by the original movie and its chimpanzee, gorilla and orangutan characters.
"It changed the way producers look at film—directors, scriptwriters could write the impossible; Planet of the Apes was a turning point." - Tom Burman remembered.
In a pre-screening reception at the Making Apes premiere, pointing to Chambers' pioneering designs, Darrell McIntyre, who created gorilla and chimpanzee make-ups in 1967, discussed the revolutionary approach. "No other show had tried to accomplish what we accomplished with the prosthetic appliances," he said. "I still think [the film] holds up great, and a lot of young people are discovering it."
Next, longtime make-up artist and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch Governor Leonard Engelman, who had worked with Chambers in the Universal Pictures make-up lab, noted the revolution in prosthetics at the time. "It was a major leap forward from what was being done in the past," he said of the ape make-ups. "You believed it. To a large degree, that's what make-up is when it's successful: you see the character, whether it's an animal or a human."
Fred Blau and Bobby Porter
Academy Award-winning artist Kevin Haney echoed Engelman's sentiments. "The original designs were revolutionary, and they were nothing like we'd ever seen before," he said. "When those gorillas are in the cornfield [towards the beginning of the 1968 film], when you first see them, it's one of the most startling moments in cinema history."
Lou Wagner
Veteran make-up effects artist Craig Reardon, who visited Chambers' 20th Century Fox make-up department as a teenager before Apes was released, reflected on the clarity and attractiveness of the ape make-ups. "In spite of everybody being covered up, they still come through," he expressed. "The performers weren't inhibited by the make-up, and at the time, they made the point that they could express things through those make-ups."

Ed French, another make-up effects icon, underscored the importance of the actors in Apes who brought the make-ups to life. "They're brilliantly designed, but also, the casting was spot on—particularly Roddy McDowall," he recalled. "I think he made that movie fly."
Silvina Knight, Kris Evans
Throughout Making Apes, viewers are treated to commentary by the late Chambers and many on his crew, several of whom have sadly passed, including Striepeke, Edwin Butterworth and Maurice Stein, plus some of the top contemporary genre directors, including Guillermo del Toro, Joe Dante, John Landis and Richard Donner. Though male artists dominated the make-up team on the original film, many top women currently in the industry contributed to remarking about the relevance of Making Apes as a testament to the greatness in the 1968 film.
Matt Winston
AMPAS First Vice President Lois Burwell pointed to her colleagues' impact with the original make-up creations. "The timeless make-up artistry in Planet of the Apes has inspired five decades of make-up artists with the skillful design that serves the story perfectly," she detailed. "You believe they are apes. That's the test of a great make-up—the believability of the character."
"They're brilliantly designed, but also, the casting was spot on—particularly Roddy McDowall. I think he made that movie fly." - Ed French
Two-time Oscar-winning artist Michèle Burke described Chambers and his make-up unit as unprecedented innovators. "When you think back to the technology and what they had at their fingertips at the time, what he did was revolutionary," she said. "It was a giant leap forward in the special effects make-up world."
James MacKinnon
One of the interviewees in Making Apes, Ve Neill, a three-time Academy Award-winning make-up artist, also spoke to the degree to which Planet of the Apes broke new ground. "It was the first picture that used widespread make-ups on so many people," she related. "The fact that John [Chambers] had done so much with war veterans gave him the impetus to build these faces that could be believeable."
Just before the screening began, director William Conlin explained how the future audience for Making Apes need not be exclusive to fans of the 1968 classic. "It's about the people who created the make-ups—these artists really, truly changed film," Conlin said of his project. "I don't think there would be a Star Wars, Star Trek, a Lord of the Rings—all these incredible franchises that we treasure today; they wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the work that John Chambers and Tom Burman did 51 years ago."
Sasha Camacho Van Dyke and Vincent Van Dyke
Finally, Tom Burman, whose 50-year career is specified in Making Apes, professed that the make-ups to which he contributed as Chambers' apprentice are ultimately indelible. "It changed the way producers look at film—directors, scriptwriters could write the impossible; Planet of the Apes was a turning point," he remembered.
"You believe they are apes. That's the test of a great make-up—the believability of the character." - Lois Burwell
Commenting on his mentor, Burman explained Chambers' complexities which allowed him the ability to both create visionary characters and lead a largely novice team. "He came from the streets of Chicago, and he was a fighter," Burman said. "He was a blue-collar worker, son of a plumber, who had these big meaty hands and big heavy body, yet he could do such delicate work. His work was unsurpassed."
Craig Reardon
Director John Landis, who worked as a mail boy at 20th Century Fox in the late 1960s and knew Chambers, succinctly summarized the viewer experience at the premiere. "Making Apes is a story well-told," he said. "It's a must-see."
Extra special thanks to Bari Dreiband-Burman for her tireless contributions and expert coordination.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of β human herpesvirus, can be life-threatening for immunocompromised individuals (such as patients with AIDS and organ transplant recipients) and neonates. It may cause cytomegalic inclusion disease and brain development disorders in newborns, and sensorineural hearing loss in infants who are asymptomatic at birth. HCMV can infect many types of cell, however, whether Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) support HCMV replication and the infection status of HCMV in MSCs remain unclear. In this issue, Qiao et al. investigated the infection ability and status of HCMV in MSCs (isolated from Wharton's jelly of the human umbilical cord), and found that the MSCs were fully permissive for HCMV infection. The cover shows the efficiency of HCMV genome replication in MSCs. See page 219-228 for details.
CRISPR-Cas-like system in giant viruses: why MIMIVIRE is not likely to be an adaptive immune system
Jean-Michel Claverie, Chantal Abergel
Jean-Michel Claverie and Chantal Abergel. CRISPR-Cas-like system in giant viruses: why MIMIVIRE is not likely to be an adaptive immune system[J]. Virologica Sinica, 2016, 31(3): 193-196. doi: 10.1007/s12250-016-3801-x.
Giant viruses from the Mimiviridae family (Mimivirus, Megavirus, etc.) replicate inside their Acanthamoeba host by the mean of a large intracytoplasmic virion factory within which DNA transcription and replication take place using the virus encoded machineries. Members of the Mimiviridae have been isolated in association with much smaller dsDNA viruses called 'virophages' that replicate within the virion factory, behaving as parasites of the giant virus. In a recent work Levasseur et al. (2016) used a silencing approach to identify candidate genes possibly involved in the inhibition of the Zamilon virophage in a specific clade of Mimiviridae. Based on the presence of four copies of a short Zamilon sequence in one of the Mimivirus candidate gene, the authors proposed that resistance to virophages was conferred by a CRISPR-Cas-like system (called MIMIVIRE). Here we dispute this interpretation on the ground that 1) the simultaneous and co-localized replication of the virophage and Mimivirus genomes makes the acquisition of a nucleic acid-based immunity unlikely, 2) the Zamilonlike sequence allegedly acquired by Mimivirus are neither regularly spaced nor flanked by recognizable repeats, 3) the corresponding Zamilon sequence is devoid of distinct flanking sequences that may serve as Protospacer Adjacent Motifs (PAM) discriminating between the virophage and its host. We propose a simpler protein-based interaction model that explains the observed phenomena without having to extend the realm of adaptive immunity to the world of eukaryotic viruses, a revolutionary step that would require stronger experimental evidences.
Towards a coherent nomenclature of plant viruses
Muhammad Ali. Towards a coherent nomenclature of plant viruses[J]. Virologica Sinica, 2016, 31(3): 197-198. doi: 10.1007/s12250-016-3741-5.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) has the decree to set the rules for the classification and naming of viruses. The species is the lowest level considered in the taxonomic hierarchy. In general, virus species are named according to the structure " and the word 'virus'". A typical example is Tobacco mosaic virus [Genus: Tobamovirus]. With a few exceptions, this convention has been generally well accepted. As there is always room for improvement, virus nomenclature (King et al., 2011) can be managed more efficiently through several ways.

The multifunctional trans-activator Tat is an essential regulatory protein for HIV-1 replication and is characterized by high sequence diversity. Numerous experimental studies have examined Tat in HIV-1 subtype B, but research on subtype C Tat is lacking, despite the high prevalence of infections caused by subtype C worldwide. We hypothesized that amino acid differences contribute to functional differences among Tat proteins. In the present study, we found that subtype B NL4-3 Tat and subtype C isolate HIV1084i Tat exhibited differences in stability by overexpressing the fusion protein Tat-Flag. In addition, 1084i Tat can activate LTR and NF-κB more efficiently than NL4-3 Tat. In analyses of the activities of the truncated forms of Tat, we found that the carboxylterminal region of Tat regulates its stability and transactivity. According to our results, we speculated that the differences in stability between B-Tat and C-Tat result in differences in transactivation ability.

A transmission bottleneck occurs during each human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission event, which allows only a few viruses to establish new infection. However, the genetic characteristics of the transmitted viruses that are preferentially selected have not been fully elucidated. Here, we analyzed amino acids changes in the envelope protein during simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)/HIV deep transmission history and current HIV evolution within the last 15–20 years. Our results confirmed that the V1V2 region of gp120 protein, particularly V1, was preferentially selected. A shorter V1 region was preferred during transmission history, while during epidemic, HIV may evolve to an expanded V1 region gradually and thus escape immune recognition. We then constructed different HIV-1 V1 mutants using different HIV-1 subtypes to elucidate the role of the V1 region in envelope function. We found that the V1 region, although highly variable, was indispensable for virus entry and infection, probably because V1 deletion mutants exhibited impaired processing of gp160 into mature gp120 and gp41. Additionally, the V1 region affected Env incorporation. These results indicated that the V1 region played a critical role in HIV transmission and infection.

Congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a leading infectious cause of birth defects. Previous studies have reported birth defects with multiple organ maldevelopment in congenital HCMV-infected neonates. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a group of stem/progenitor cells that are multi-potent and can self-renew, and they play a vital role in multiorgan formation. Whether MSCs are susceptible to HCMV infection is unclear. In this study, MSCs were isolated from Wharton's jelly of the human umbilical cord and identified by their plastic adherence, surface marker pattern, and differentiation capacity. Then, the MSCs were infected with the HCMV Towne strain, and infection status was assessed via determination of viral entry, replication initiation, viral protein expression, and infectious virion release using western blotting, immunofluorescence assays, and plaque forming assays. The results indicate that the isolated MSCs were fully permissive for HCMV infection and provide a preliminary basis for understanding the pathogenesis of HCMV infection in non-nervous system diseases, including multi-organ malformation during fetal development.

Within Baculoviridae, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of replication in betabaculoviruses, despite extensive studies in alphabaculoviruses. In this study, the promoters of nine late genes of the betabaculovirus Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PlxyGV) were cloned into a transient expression vector and the alphabaculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) genome, and compared with homologous late gene promoters of AcMNPV in Sf9 cells. In transient expression assays, all PlxyGV late promoters were activated in cells transfected with the individual reporter plasmids together with an AcMNPV bacmid. In infected cells, reporter gene expression levels with the promoters of PlxyGV e18 and AcMNPV vp39 and gp41 were significantly higher than those of the corresponding AcMNPV or PlxyGV promoters, which had fewer late promoter motifs. Observed expression levels were lower for the PlxyGV p6.9, pk1, gran, p10a, and p10b promoters than for the corresponding AcMNPV promoters, despite equal numbers of late promoter motifs, indicating that species-specific elements contained in some late promoters were favored by the native viral RNA polymerases for optimal transcription. The 8-nt sequence TAAATAAG encompassing the ATAAG motif was conserved in the AcMNPV polh, p10, and pk1 promoters. The 5-nt sequence CAATT located 4 or 5 nt upstream of the T/ATAAG motif was conserved in the promoters of PlxyGV gran, p10c, and pk1. The results of this study demonstrated that PlxyGV late gene promoters could be effectively activated by the RNA polymerase from AcMNPV, implying that late gene expression systems are regulated by similar mechanisms in alphabaculoviruses and betabaculoviruses.

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is found throughout multicellular organisms; however, fgf homologs (vfgf) have only been identified among viruses in lepidopteran baculoviruses. The function of vFGFs from Group I alphabaculoviruses, including Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) and Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), involves accelerated killing of infected larvae by both viruses. The vFGF of Group II alphabaculovirus is structurally different from that of Group I alphabaculovirus, with a larger C-terminal region and additional N-linked glycosylation sites. In this study, we characterized the Group II alphabaculovirus vFGF of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV). The transcription and expression of vfgf was detected at 3 h and 16 h post-infection in HearNPV-infected cells. To further study vFGF function, we constructed vfgf-knockout and -repaired HearNPV bacmids and investigated their affect in both cultured cells and insects. Deletion of vfgf had no effect on budded-virus production or viral DNA replication in cultured HzAM1 cells. However, bioassays showed that HearNPV vfgf deletion significantly increased the median lethal dose and delayed the median lethal time by ~12 h in the host insect when the virus was delivered orally. These results suggested that vFGF is an important virulent factor for HearNPV infection and propagation in vivo.

Differential gene expression in porcine SK6 cells infected with wild-type and SAP domain-mutant foot-and-mouth disease virus[J]. Virologica Sinica, 2016, 31(3): 249-257. doi: 10.1007/s12250-015-3709-x.
Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is the causative agent of a highly contagious disease in livestock. The viral proteinase Lpro of FMDV is involved in pathogenicity, and mutation of the Lpro SAP domain reduces FMDV pathogenicity in pigs. To determine the gene expression profiles associated with decreased pathogenicity in porcine cells, we performed transcriptome analysis using next-generation sequencing technology and compared differentially expressed genes in SK6 cells infected with FMDV containing Lpro with either a wild-type or mutated version of the SAP domain. This analysis yielded 1,853 genes that exhibited a ≥ 2-fold change in expression and was validated by real-time quantitative PCR detection of several differentially expressed genes. Many of the differentially expressed genes correlated with antiviral responses corresponded to genes associated with transcription factors, immune regulation, cytokine production, inflammatory response, and apoptosis. Alterations in gene expression profiles may be responsible for the variations in pathogenicity observed between the two FMDV variants. Our results provided genes of interest for the further study of antiviral pathways and pathogenic mechanisms related to FMDV Lpro.

Astrovirus is an enteric virus associated with sporadic diarrhea or large outbreaks of gastroenteritis (Mendez et al., 2013). Until 2008, human astroviruses (HAstVs) were classified into eight serotypes—HAstV-1 to HAstV- 8—based on the reactivity of their capsid protein with type-specific antibodies. Among these serotypes, HAstV-1 is the most prevalent globally. However, some divergent new astroviruses (MLB1/MLB2, VA1/VA2/VA3, and HMO A/B/C) have been discovered recently in stool samples of patients with and without diarrhea (De Benedictis et al., 2011).

Since April 2010, an outbreak of a new disease has elicited symptoms of high fever, loss of appetite, and reduction in egg production in layer ducks in eastern China; this phenomenon has now spread throughout China (Cao et al., 2011; Su et al., 2011). The causative agent of the disease was identified as Tembusu virus (TMUV), which was classified into the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. The TMUV virion is enveloped and contains a 10, 990 nt single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome which contains a long open reading frame. The reading frame encodes a polyprotein that is possessed into three structural (Capsid, prM and E) and seven non-structural (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5) proteins by viral-encoded proteases (Tang et al., 2012; Yun et al., 2012). TMUV isolated from poultry (including chicken, duck and goose), field birds, and mosquitos, can trigger neurological symptoms and even death in mice (Liu et al., 2012; Li et al., 2013a; Liu et al., 2013; Tang et al., 2013; Tang et al., 2015). To date, the elements of TMUV required for viral replication and virulence have not been definitively determined. Reverse genetics is an effective molecular biology technique to determine the function of genomic elements responsible for the replication and virulence in positivestrand RNA viruses. Infectious cDNA clones and recombinant progeny of flaviviruses including Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, Dengue virus, Yellow fever virus, Tick-borne encephalitis virus are available. There are two major strategies to construct infectious cDNA clones of animal viruses. For example, a duck TMUV infectious cDNA clone that was transcribed into RNA via in vitro transcription has been reported (Li et al., 2013b). However, no infectious cDNA clones based on a DNA-launching strategy have been constructed and produced for progeny virus.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes infectious bursal disease, a highly contagious immunosuppressive disease that affects young chickens and causes economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. IBDV replicates mainly in actively dividing B lymphocytes within the bursa of Fabricius (BF), leading to immunosuppression in affected flocks (Mahgoub et al., 2012). Viral protein 2 (VP2), the only structural component of the IBDV icosahedral capsid, is the major antigen responsible for inducing protective immunity in the host (Mahgoub et al., 2012).

In this study, multiplex PCR was used to amplify both the B2L gene partial coding region and a housekeeping gene. A substantial amount of research has been conducted on the B2L gene, and this presents opportunities for comparisons between different strains around the world. Field strains have been compared with human, sheep, and goat orf viruses and with other parapoxviruses such as PCPV and BPSV. Although the presence of the virus in Turkey was previously reported, its relationship with other orf viruses around the world has not yet been demonstrated, in contrast to parapoxvirus infections of cattle and humans in Turkey (Karakas et al., 2013; Oguzoglu et al., 2014). This study provides diagnostic and molecular characterization data for the economically damaging parapoxvirus infection that circulated among goat flocks in Turkey in the 2013–2014 lambing season.

Virologica Sinica, 2016, 31(3): 274-277. doi: 10.1007/s12250-015-3704-2.
Akabane virus (AKAV), an orthobunyavirus, is transmitted primarily by biting midges and is widely distributed throughout the world except the Europe. AKAV was first isolated from mosquitoes in Japan (Oya et al., 1961). Although pregnant cows, ewes, and goats infected with AKAV exhibit no clinical signs of disease, in utero infections result in abortion, premature birth, stillbirth, and congenital deformities such as arthrogryposis-hydranencephaly syndrome (Kurogi et al., 1976), causing economic losses in the livestock industry. The live, attenuated vaccine strain, TS-C2, was derived from the OBE-1 strain as a temperature sensitive mutant (Kurogi et al., 1979). Although vaccination has reduced the prevalence of the disease, antigenic and pathogenic variants of AKAV have been isolated (Lee et al., 2002; Ogawa et al., 2007a); for example, a variant Iriki strain was isolated from a calf with nonsuppurative encephalitis and neurological symptoms in Japan (Miyazato et al., 1989) and it shows low antigenic cross-reactivity with the reference strain in neutralization tests (Akashi and Inaba, 1997). Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the vaccination strategy to effectively control the disease. Here we evaluated characters of a mutant virus with knockout of a nonstructural protein NSs, which acts as type I interferon antagonist and is involved in the regulation of host protein synthesis (Weber et al., 2002), by experimentally infecting pregnant goats. The pregnant goat model might be useful for AKAV studies, as suggested by previous reports of experimental transplacental infection of caprine fetuses (Kurogi et al., 1977).

Fujitsu Services, one of Europe's leading IT services companies, was a winner at the recent itSMF Awards with Steve Denham, service delivery manager for the Post Office, taking home the Service Management Champion of the Year award. The theme of the Awards was "Driving Real Value".
Fujitsu has invested heavily in the development of its staff over the last three years, with more than 15,000 people across Europe having now participated in the Reputation programme – a series of workshops which focus on delivering value to customers.
Richard Morgan, chair of the itSMF awards comments, "Steve has won through a very high standard of candidates for this award. Every itSMF award brings recognition and publicity to the winner and we're proud to be able to shine a light on the IT Service Management industry, those like Steve who deliver the best practices which are DRIVING REAL VALUE".
Fujitsu's relationship with the Post Office began in 1993 and since then Fujitsu has delivered a £1.4 billion programme over a ten-year period which installed a networked counter system to manage the customer experience in the Post Office's 12,000 branches.
Steve has been with the company for 9 years and has been leading the Post Office team at Fujitsu for the last two. Since implementing the contract, the Post Office has seen a 30% increase in online transactions and serves an average of 28.8 million customers per week.
