Michael Lynne, renowned film executive and longtime Board Member of Citymeals on Wheels, passed away on Sunday, March 24th at the age of 77. Michael began as outside counsel for New Line Cinema, rising to become President and Chief Operating Officer before co-founding his own production company, Unique Features, with Bob Shaye.
Michael's generous support of Citymeals began in 1992 and only deepened over nearly thirty years of dedicated service. He joined the Board in 1998 and quickly went to work lending his business acumen and entertainment world connections to the cause. At the time of his passing, he was serving as Vice President, providing indispensable guidance as we prepare to meet the growing needs of homebound elderly New Yorkers.
As a lifelong foodie, Michael, along with his wife Ninah, co-chaired the Annual Chefs' Tribute to Citymeals, which has raised more than $21 million to support the organization. In addition to his work in the film industry, Michael was a collector of art and owner of Bedell Cellars, a winery on the North Fork of Long Island.
Citymeals is deeply grateful for Michael's steadfast generosity through the years. His beaming smile and spirit of caring will be dearly missed by all. Michael was predeceased by his and Ninah's beloved son Jonathan, who had continued his father's legacy of giving back to the city's vulnerable elderly. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Ninah, their daughter, Elizabeth, and her family.


China is leading the pack in a global race to match U.S. drone capabilities. The communist country has dozens of models under development, and it has shown that it has few qualms about exporting the deadly technology, The Washington Post reported.
About 50 countries have bought surveillance drones, and many have begun programs to develop armed versions. The United States is selling weaponized drones to only a handful of close allies, but China has a greater interest in selling the technology, according to the Post.
"The United States doesn't export many attack drones, so we're taking advantage of that hole in the market," the Post quotes Zhang Qiaoliang as saying.
"The main reason is the amazing demand in the market for drones after 9/11," said the representative of the Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute, which manufactures many of the most advanced military aircraft for the People's Liberation Army.
China's export policies and developments in other countries have caused the United States to reexamine its own policies.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which oversees foreign military sales, is working on lists of countries approved qualify to buy drones with certain capabilities, Vice Adm. William Landay said at a recent Pentagon press briefing.
General Atomics, the manufacturer of the U.S. Predator drones, has received approval to export an unarmed version of the Predator to the Middle East and Latin America. The company is in talks with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, the Post reported.

VPS Named Fastest Growing Airport in The Country
With the addition of direct flights to high-traffic locations, the airport is experiencing huge economic growth.

The arrival of Allegiant Airlines at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) resulted in an 18 percent jump in passenger traffic.
Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport's success took off around the time of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and has yet to touch down, says Okaloosa County Commissioner Carolyn Ketchel.
The devastating BP spill, a financial and ecological tragedy, ironically turned into a tourism triumph, as word of mouth spread through the rest of the country from media coverage and advertisements.
"Prior to that, we were just a destination by car for many from the Southeast," Ketchel explained.
"Now, people have discovered our white sands and emerald-green waters. We're no longer that sleepy little airport that you have to fly to Atlanta from if you want to reach anywhere else in the United States; we have major carriers here that take us directly to many destinations."
Allegiant Air Base
Hudson News is among the shops in the terminal building.
Of those carriers, Allegiant Air has been a game-changer for the airport, known to flyers as VPS.
Three years ago, the Okaloosa County Commission utilized $3 million from the Tourist Development Council to dangle a carrot over VPS and snag a major airline. It just so happened Allegiant bit first.
Prior to the partnership in 2016, VPS offered direct service to five cities via Delta, United and American Airlines. Allegiant introduced six new routes, promoted an 18% increase in passenger traffic and an economic impact of $19 million in its first year, and then followed up with 10 more routes in 2017.
As of now, Allegiant Air has established a year-round, three-airbus base at VPS, adding five more destinations to the departure boards.
"Now that we're a year-round base, many maintenance technicians have been hired to service aircrafts," said Tracy Stage, Director of Okaloosa County Airports. "Ground support positions have been filled, along with roughly 65 new, high-wage jobs for Allegiant aircrew alone."
Not to mention, the increased need for support positions. Dozens have been hired to operate amenities, such as the Hudson Group newsstand and gift shop, and the airport's watering hole, Emerald Coast Bar & Grill. Stage notes that these businesses, as well as Allegiant and other airlines, are still seeking helping hands and welcoming applicants.
"We're a small team at VPS but a well-oiled machine, and our success emulates our growth," Stage said. "Just look at some of these cities we're flying into!"
Departures from key markets such as Baltimore, New York City and Dallas not only entice innumerable tourists to spend a week at the beach, but offer cheap, returning flights that cement their decision to fly VPS.
"We aren't just the fastest growing airport in the region or in the state. We're the fastest growing airport in the country."
Passengers line up to get boarding passes scanned at one of the terminal's gates.
According to Ketchel, Allegiant's routes will attract over 25,000 additional passengers per year, for an estimated $418 million in tourism revenue by 2023.
"We're seeing such huge economic growth that we're having to focus on building roads, and building them quickly," she said. "We're putting lots of heads in beds, which make all the people who own hotels and restaurants very happy. Our tourism development dollars are off the chart, which encourages us to put it back into the community and market. It's very cyclical."
More than 1.3 million passengers are projected to take flight with VPS this year, a whopping 43 percent increase in traffic from 2016. This May, the airport experienced the busiest day in its 63-year history.
With fresh routes in full swing, another record breaker is imminent. For Stage, that means increasing VPS's scope from a priority standpoint.
"We're expanding our fuel farm. We're going through a master plan update to look at all the facilities from parking to the terminal area. We're under design now to update our apron area and house even more aircrafts, and we're adjusting our TSA checkpoint to handle additional passengers. All of this growth has driven huge demands on the infrastructure, and we've got an incredible team that's working together to meet them."
VPS also aims to create an atmosphere unique to the Emerald Coast that echoes community values. Stage notes that VPS recently hired Passenger Ambassadors, assistants that "work the floor" and offer guidance to inexperienced flyers in the spirit of our famous, Southern hospitality.
This spring, VPS debuted the Emerald Coast Visitor's Center, where expert tipsters dish on must-see attractions. The center is nestled next to baggage claim and features a 210-gallon aquarium, where native, tropical fish blow bubbles at inquisitive tourists.
A Military Model
Outside, a retired Air Force jet reminds all of the military presence in the area.
VPS doesn't let the fact that the Emerald Coast is a military community slip under the radar. Screens in the lobby loop interviews with retired war veterans, and a massive Huey helicopter permanently resides at the entrance.
It's to the military, Ketchel believes, that VPS owes its success.
"What people don't realize is that this is a joint-use facility — there's only 27 in the nation, and (VPS) is one of them," she states. "As long as this airport serves the military, it continues to benefit our community."
Ketchel emphasizes that Stage, a former U.S Air Force airman, understands that model, and has seamlessly transformed VPS into both a military hub and tourist destination.
As of now, an American Airline flight transports both Eglin Air Force Base personnel and civilians to Washington, D.C. daily. Eglin Air Force Base also mans a joint-use, federal grant-funded fire station on VPS's runway. Stage was responsible for its creation in 2017.
"(Stage) has a high-charging spirit with a tremendous managerial style," Ketchel praised. "I can't say enough about his ability to manage and market the Destin-Fort Walton Beach airport, and how well he works with our military partners."
Stage, who has served as Airports Director for only three years, but has been with the county's three-airport system for 12, renounces credit.
"Like I said before, I have a great team," he insisted. "When you've got a group like that, good things happen."
As for what's on the horizon for VPS, Stage's reply is teasingly tight-lipped, but hints at something big.
"Let's just say there's much more in the wind to come."

We're thrilled to announce our 2019 season, including the world premiere of She Persists: The Great Divide III; Athol Fugard's masterful work Blood Knot; and the regional premiere of Talvin Wilks's new work, Jimmy and Lorraine: A Musing. Though they differ greatly in place and time, the plays of our 2019 season find common ground at the place where art, politics, and humanity collide.
About the plays:
SHE PERSISTS: THE GREAT DIVIDE III
Five short plays by Cristina Florencia Castro, Casey Llewellyn, Oya Mae Duchess-Davis, Philana Omorotionmwan & Aamera Siddiqui
Directed by Noël Raymond
March 13 – 24
Wednesdays – Saturdays at 7:30 PM
Sundays at 3 PM
In 2018, Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court amid allegations of sexual assault. For the first time in years, Roe v. Wade fell into constitutional danger. At the same time, the #metoo movement sparked a national dialogue around power and consent, and record numbers of women ran for public office. In a country continuing to fracture along political fault lines, women were on the frontlines of the divide. Following the tradition of The Great Divide I & II, Pillsbury House Theatre has commissioned five short plays on the state of women in the current political climate. Featuring all-women playwrights, actresses, and production staff, She Persists: The Great Divide III is a theatrical experience by, for, and about women.
By Athol Fugard
Directed by Marion McClinton
May 17 – June 16
Athol Fugard's early masterpiece Blood Knot is an unflinching exploration of race, apartheid and the complicated nature of family. At the time of its 1961 premiere, Blood Knot was the first South African play to be produced with an interracial cast. The play follows Morris and Zachariah, brothers divided by skin color but bound by blood, as they navigate poverty, love, and their complicated relationship. Featuring James A. Williams and Stephen Yoakam, two of the Twin Cities' most beloved actors, Blood Knot is a tour de force of raw and honest emotion. Masterfully written and powerfully acted, Blood Knot turns an unblinking eye on the underbelly of our humanity.
JIMMY AND LORRAINE: A MUSING
Written and Adapted by Talvin Wilks
Directed by Brian Jennings
Jimmy and Lorraine: A Musing is a meditation on the American political climate of the late 50's and early 60's through the eyes of two of the most significant artists of the time, James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry. Using text from journals, letters, interviews, and more, Wilks brings Baldwin and Hansberry to life through their own words, deftly weaving their art, relationships, politics and identities into the tapestry of the play. The result is a captivating and intimate journey into the stories of two radical artists, friends, and revolutionaries. A foundational new work, Jimmy and Lorraine holds a mirror to the history of race, art and politics in America.
Pillsbury House Theatre continues to offer pick-your-own-price tickets for all of its Mainstage productions.

Ebola Survivors Care for Sick, Frightened Children Patients in DR Congo Outbreak

Published 17 April 2019 (1 hours 43 minutes ago)
Granted immunity after winning their own battles with the deadly and horrific illness, survivors are providing the human comfort many young patients need.
Jeanine Masika, an Ebola survivor and mother of six, has been caring for Ebola patients at a treatment center in the North Kivu town of Beni without the usual intensive protective coverings — a comforting presence in a sea of masked medical workers.
DRC Ebola Death Toll: 814, Up from 606 Last Month
Most health care workers appear as ambiguous figures distinguished only by names written on their suits in marker pen. That's because they need a surgical mask, goggles, hooded coveralls, an apron, rubber boots and two pairs of gloves to avoid catching the virus that typically kills around half those it infects.
The outfits are hot, and in the stifling tropical temperatures of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo this limits the time they can spend with patients fighting for their lives in isolation units.
However, because Masika has antibodies in her system after winning her own battle with the disease, she is able to care for the sick and avoid infection due to her immunity. She is one of the dozens of survivors who are providing care -- and much-needed human contact — to some of the youngest victims of the second worst Ebola epidemic on record.
Of the more than 1,260 confirmed and probable Ebola cases, 28 percent are children, according to the World Health Organization. More than 800 people, including at least 248 under the age of 18, have died since the outbreak began in August. The outbreak is surpassed only by one in West Africa in 2013-16, which is believed to have killed more than 11,000 people.

Masika lost 10 relatives to the virus; four of those infected in her family survived. "It was as if Ebola had chosen my family," she said.
She was admitted to the same treatment center where she now works in September and stayed there for 21 days, battling horrific symptoms.
"It's like suffering from all the diseases of Congo at the same time," she said. "I felt bad all over my body: headache, stomach ache, diarrhea, vomiting, tiredness."
Masika's experience inspired her to join the fight against Ebola, comforting sick and frightened children who have to be isolated from their families and familiar surroundings to avoid infecting others. She is one of at least 23 former patients employed at the center in Beni, which is run by the Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA).
In late March, Masika was spending most of her time in a clear plastic isolation cube, Reuters reported. She rocked and fanned Furaha, a little girl who rarely stirred or cried. The cubes allow patients to see relatives during treatment, albeit through thick plastic walls.
"My goal is to make her happy," Masika said of her small charge, the youngest of five family members who were being treated at the center. "I treat the child like she's my own, so she's at ease even while she's away from her parents."
A few cubes down, the body of a two-year-old boy who had died in the night laid on a bed, his thin frame barely making a bump under the flowered sheet pulled up over his face.
Children are especially vulnerable to the virus because their bodies are less able to cope with the extreme fluid loss caused by diarrhea, vomiting, fever and bleeding, doctors say. More than two out of every three children sickened in this outbreak have died, according to WHO figures. Others were orphaned or left on their own when their parents went into treatment.

Claudine Kitsa, 40, had to place a child in care while she was being treated for Ebola in the nearby trading hub of Butembo. She now does shifts at a childcare facility operated by the United Nations children's agency UNICEF, taking turns with other survivors to sleep next to the babies' cots on mosquito-netted beds.
For Kitsa, volunteering at the center is a "way of keeping love alive," at a time when Ebola is robbing families of the ability to care for their loved ones. Healthcare workers say people like her play an invaluable role.
"We can't be caring for children all of the time, because you can only wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for one hour at a time. And it would scare … children," said Trish Newport, the Ebola representative for Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) in Congo's eastern city of Goma.
"So to have survivors who can wear light protection and be with the children and bond with them, it's huge for us. We couldn't manage without them."
She believes that survivors benefit from the experience as well.
"There's a lot of stigmatization for them in the community," she said. But at the treatment centers, they are treated like heroes. Survivors also serve as educators and advocates for the centers in the community. This is Congo's 10th Ebola outbreak, but it is the first in the densely forested volcanic hillside provinces of North Kivu and Ituri.
Many are afraid to seek help from experts. Some believe the disease is part of a plot by foreign aid agencies to make money, others believed that Congo's former government was trying to kill off opposition supporters ahead of a December election.
It is one of the reasons this outbreak has been so difficult to contain, along with bouts of militia violence that send patients fleeing to other areas. Twenty new cases were reported Thursday and again Saturday, the highest daily tolls since the outbreak began.

Luca Ghiotto claimed victory in the Formula 2 Sprint Race at Bahrain for UNI-Virtuosi Racing. Image sourced from @tracksidelegend via Twitter.
Luca Ghiotto made his alternate strategy work brilliantly as he fought back from fourteenth to take victory in the F2 Bahrain sprint race, finishing ahead of the DAMS duo of Sergio Sette Camara and feature race winner Nicholas Latifi.
After pitting on lap 13, Ghiotto used his fresh tyres to full effect, finally retaking the lead with three laps remaining, taking his first win since 2017, and UNI-Virtuosi's first since taking over Russian Time's entry.
An action packed first lap saw pole sitter Mick Schumacher retain his lead, as he cut across Jack Aitken on the run down to Turn 1 in a move reminiscent of his father.
This allowed Louis Deletraz and Nyck de Vries to get a run on the Brit throughout the first sector, eventually culminating in contact through Turn 7, which dropped all three down the order.
Sette Camara now found himself in second place, and found a way past Schumacher's PREMA into the first corner on Lap 3, with Ghiotto and Latifi soon following through.
Ghiotto soon took the lead, and the Italian set to work extending his gap, setting the fastest lap as soon as he was in free air, building a 3.2 second gap after Lap 7.
Further down the order, there was drama as Sauber Junior Team's Juan Manuel Correa misjudged a cutback on Jordan King, causing damage to the American's front wing, with the MP Motorsport car miraculously emerging unscathed from the collision.
The tenth lap saw the first pitstop, with Sean Gelael stopping on Lap 10 for fresh tyres, as he tried to make his way up the order after a DRS failure on Saturday.
It was Lap 13 before any of the front runners pitted, as Ghiotto and de Vries pitted from first and fourth respectively, with the DAMS team electing to keep their cars out in an attempt to eke out the tyres to the end.
The ART of de Vries was soon setting blistering lap times, with his fastest lap of 1:47.145 over four seconds quicker than those at the front of the field who had decided to stay out.
Just five laps after pitting, Ghiotto found himself on the back of Guanyu Zhou, with his team-mate putting up no resistance as they swapped fifth and sixth positions.
There was a huge midfield battle for 12th, as the cars went four wide through turn 1, with different strategies coming to the fore.
Giuliano Alesi found himself in the middle of this, battling with fellow Ferrari Driver Academy member Callum Ilott, as well as Arden's Tatiana Calderon.
With three laps to go, the UNI-Virtuosi drivers both found themselves in prime position to move up the order, with Ghiotto making his way past Latifi into the first corner, and Zhou pulling off the same move on Schumacher soon after to take fifth.
Sette Camara had bad tyre wear by this point and couldn't hold off Ghiotto for, with the Italian comfortably making his way through at Turn 13 to secure a deserved victory, after clutch issues cost him a chance of winning from pole in the feature race.
Ghiotto leaves the first weekend of F2 action with a two point advantage over feature race winner Latifi, with Sette Camara's two podiums ensuring DAMS have a fourteen point lead in the teams championship.
Zhou managed take fourth in the closing stages, ahead of Louis Deletraz, with Schumacher, de Vries and King the final points finishers.


Hmmm… maybe it's best to grab a beer or wine and just listen. I think talking about music is always hard and much easier to just listen without any introduction. This is instrumental music and can speak for itself if you are in a mood to listen and willing to give it the time. Maybe I would just say that this is electronic music and not mainstream commercial stuff.
How is your approach to production different with more subtle genres, than it is with dance floor tracks?
I am not limited to a certain time like something around 6-8 minutes and most of the time I am starting to experiment with atmospheres and maybe small melodies rather than a beat and bass groove to find ideas. So there can be really long lasting sounds that breathe and just have enough time to evolve on their own rather than a dance floor track where you should come tot he point more quickly. The whole arrangement is as well quite different since I have the full 70 something minutes of a CD.
How would you say your sound has evolved over the many years?
What was a particular inspiration behind Inside Voices?
Well mostly to do an ambient album after a long time and just experiment and see what happens and as said before having the space of 70 something minutes to fill with a musical story.
Can you talk about some of the hardware and software used in the production of Inside Voices? Is that a Kyma that I hear?
I am working with Ableton Live and mostly I start experimenting at home. Some of the melodies I created with the iPad app touchAble which is a remote controller, and keyboard for Ableton. There are some complex sound FX plugin chains I created and experimented with, as well as hardware synths and fx like the Acces Virus Ti2 Polar, Oberheim Matrix 6r, Juno 106, Elektron Analog Four, Eventide DSP 4000, Lexicon 480L etc. A lot of plugins by Glitchmachines, Arturia, u-he and the Madrona Labs Aalto have been used and yes a bit of Kyma where I have been programming a lot of FX for over the years.
I just finished two dancefloor tracks and will start on a remix now and then need to do some more re-mastering of my old stuff to be released on my Solieb Digital label.


Abstract: We present a novel approach that uses an iterative deepening algorithm in order to perform probabilistic logic inference for ProbLog, a probabilistic extension of Prolog. The most used inference method for ProbLog is exact inference combined with tabling. Tabled exact inference first collects a set of SLG derivations which contain the probabilistic structure of the ProbLog program including the cycles. At a second step, inference requires handling these cycles in order to create a noncyclic Boolean representation of the probabilistic information. Finally, the Boolean representation is compiled to a data structure where inference can be performed in linear time. Previous work has illustrated that there are two limiting factors for ProbLog's exact inference. The first factor is the target compilation language and the second factor is the handling of the cycles. In this paper, we address the second factor by presenting an iterative deepening algorithm which handles cycles and produces solutions to problems that previously ProbLog was not able to solve. Our experimental results show that our iterative deepening approach gets approximate bounded values in almost all cases and in most cases we are able to get the exact result for the same or one lower scaling factor. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

Mechanics' liens are liens filed against real estate to ensure full payment to contractors and subcontractors who make improvements to such real estate. In Pennsylvania, they are governed by the Mechanics' Lien Law of 1963. It is important to note that the definitions of contractor and subcontractor under the act include suppliers of materials used in the improvements. Also, there are restrictions concerning subcontractors filing liens against certain residential properties when the contractor has been fully paid by the owner (consult an attorney for details). Also, under certain circumstances, contractors and subcontractors may waive their lien rights.
Mechanics' liens are not automatically perfected upon completion of the work or delivery of the supplies by the contractor or subcontractor. Indeed, in order to perfect the lien, the contractor or subcontractor must file a lien claim with the Court within 6 months of completion of the work. In addition, subcontractors must give the owner 30 days prior written notice before they file their claims. Also, recent amendments to the lien law have imposed additional notice requirements where the cost of the project is $1.5 million or more (consult an attorney for details).
However, after the lien claim has been successfully filed, the contractor or subcontractor must take 2 further steps to judicially enforce payment by the owner: 1. they must commence a lawsuit to obtain judgment on the lien claim within two years of the filing of the lien claim, and 2. they must obtain execution on said judgment, which would result in the subject real estate being sold at sheriff's sale and the proceeds from the sale paid to the contractor or subcontractor to pay the debt.
I have filed lien claims and represented parties in lawsuits to obtain judgments on lien claims. If you wish to discuss with me your options in either filing or enforcing a mechanics' lien or defending against one, please telephone me at 814-283-5788. Your initial consultation will be at no cost.

We wanted this product to be cool and needed a name that would convey that. So Milk Jug, The Bottle, Lactaid, BreastBottle, etc. did not get us there. We briefly flirted with Liquid Gold as a concept but I feel that gave us a bit too much of a Vegas, current inhabitant of the White House, blingy kind of feel.
So then we tried digging a little deeper and thinking of who would want this bottle and the imagery we wanted associated with this chic, discreet, goal-accomplishing, bada$$ bottle/thermos/cooler thing. I immediately thought of Demeter, goddess of the harvest and motherhood, a tough, committed mom that was a classic symbol. Chill was clearly to evoke the cooling properties as well as the "you've got this all covered" chill factor. But Demeter was a mouthful and didn't flow with Chill. Enter: Ceres, Roman goddess of fertility and motherly relationships, counterpart to the Greek Demeter. Ceres Chill, pronounced Series Chill, was born. Our gorgeous goddess archer shooting for the stars and cold naturally followed and here we are today.

Uh-oh. I've got a new addiction and it isn't pretty. Well it is pretty literally, but figuratively???
I've always wondered at those people who could make quilts out of one pattern piece. Dullsville.
But as I say: "Uh-Oh."
I had a charm pack of my reproduction prints from The Morris Workshop from Moda. Each 5" square was cut into quarters so I had four squares of each print 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".
I didn't use their machine method but used a glue stick to lightly glue a template behind each square. Then I folded the edges over to make a hexagon and whip-stitched them together by hand.
When I got the first ring done I was hooked.
I wondered how many rings I could get out of a charm pack.
Very soon I forgot about the Prairie Flower pincushion and started thinking medallion.
I needed one more light print so I got one from the first Morris reproduction line A Morris Garden.
Now I have to go out in the sleet/snow wintery mix and get more hexagon paper templates.
Once you get an outside row stitched you can take out the templates in the inside row. I can reuse them 2 or 3 times but now I need more. Way more.
Stay tuned. It could get bad.
My mother did these hexagons back when I was a kid, probably in the early 60's. When my brother and I emptied the house several years ago, I did not find them, but I know she never finished a quilt top. I am so tempted by yours...love the Morris repro line, but don't own any yet. Yet.
I love how your hexagons are turning out! The fabrics are very yummy! I'm working on a hexagon quilt right now using mostly brown, pinks, reds and creamy tans. They are fun!
When I traveled a lot for work I used to keep a little baggie of hexegons to baste in my briefcase. They are addictive!
Barbara, you made me smile and made my day today. I, too, was a naysayer about hexagons in the past and now am totally fascinated with them. Must be an age mellowing thing! The William Morris prints look beautiful in hexagons I might add!
I've never made the Hexagons, but see so many of them on the quilting blogs. The quilts you displayed today are beautiful.
Lovely! I always make a plastic template of my preferred hex size and then cut my own paper templates by tracing it onto those pesky subscrption cards that fall from every magazine. They're the perfect weight and it only takes a few minutes to cut enough for an evening's work.
They are addictive!! But there is a much easier way to prepare them, as Leslie mentioned above -- with Inklingo. No papers, no basting, just lots of lovely stitching!
Uh-oh, indeed. I never thought I'd do hexagons even though I had a bag of genuine 3o's fabrics already cut out that I got from a guild member. Then on Kathy Tracy's Small Quilt Talk list at Yahoo, the ladies were talking about doing mini-hexagon quilts. That sounded like fun, so I started one with 1/2" hexes. Then I got out the 30's pieces (1") and started those--have them all basted and about 50 rosettes put together. Now I troll eBay to find more vintage 30's fabric...and I started a 2" one with large florals, and, and, and...! If you go to Linda Franz' site you'll see the Lucy Boston quilt--I want to do that one, too! There's no end!
I'm hexi crazy right now, I just posted about how to organize and join with the pathway. Your photos here are amazing!
You can pick any size and it creates a pdf that you can save and print as much as you'd like. I cut freezer paper into 8.5x11" sheets and feed it right into my ink jet printer.
Uh-oh is right! The hexies are such a relaxing hand work project. My first quilt was a Grandmother's Flower Garden. I was given a box of hexagons and a couple of pieced blocks. I had no clue what I was doing, and didn't have papers to piece with. The thrill from making that quilt hooked me.
I have several hexagon quilts started. One of them is the Insanity Quilt featured in a magazine from Australia. All of the quilts with hexagons are from printing directly onto the fabrics and cutting it out. No templates needed, no rulers needed, no paper hexes needed... it is all done using Inklingo from Linda Franz. The best new product since rotary cutters. Love Inklingo for Hexagons.
Barbara, I did a queen size quilt with hexagons using Inklingo. It was so much easier than glue and fussing with paper pieces. If you are interested, go to Linda Franz website for more information. There are other shapes that I know you will find helpful in your quilt making and pattern designing.
Albert Small must have been a very interesting gentleman...the detail of his quilts is sooo amazing! A master of the hexagon!
I use INKLINGO to do the hexes. Once you try it you will never have to go outside in the cold again. INKLINGO has a freebee on the site for a LeMoyne Star. I downloaded that and that was it. What a wonder.
OK, now Barbara has done it yet again. Seems I will be making a hexagon quilt -- not the tradional Grandmother's Flower Garden variety .. but I will try for the gorgeous mosaic looking wonders.
I bought a set of 25 plastic pieces several years back for $12.95. Plan on doing mine with these. YOu just pop out the plastic piece when you have several hexagons joined, and reuse it. EAsy, no glue and totally reusable too.
Hi Barbara...another Inklingoist here. I love what you are doing, but printing on fabric is a dream and the sewing so much faster...I look forward to seeing what else you do and your progress on the haxagons. I am also doing an Insanity quit .5 hex,s and an Almost Insane which is much the same but with .75 hexs. These are on hold till I get a current quilt done. Wish I had your snow..its SO hot here in the Southwest of Western Australia Australia...not nice. Enjoyed my visit.
I love hexagon quilts, but looks hard to sew together.
Have been working with some hexagons from my grandmother. Also have several other pieced blocks, and a ton of pieces cut and ready to assemble for a block I can't find a name for. If you would like to help me solve the mystery please email me (addy on my blog). Thanks!
Love the Pin Cushion Pattern. Even printed it, although I'm pretty miserly about using ink. Still can't imagine doing hexagons, yet.
Oh Barbara! You poor thing! I know what you are going thru for I too am addicted to EPP (English paper piecing). If you ever decide to venture out beyond the hexagon, I would love to have you join our EPP workshops. We make EPP projects all year around.
Just another Inklingoist here. I have always loved hexagon quilts but hated to have to whip stitch them together. Once I discovered how easy the sewing was using Inklingo I've become addicted.
I know what you mean about dullsville, but I was taken by surprise too.
Now we have 2 whole group blogs of Hexie lovers!!
I print my Inklingo template onto freezer paper, cut out and iron to the wrong side of my fabric. You could still use the gluestick, but I prefer to fold over the edges and take a tacking stitch to hold the folds in their proper shape. Since you do not go thru the paper, you never have to remove...and it saves the paper for many re-sticks! I use a hole punch for the middle of the template, and only remove the template when it's completely surrounded by "petals".
if you spray your used templates with starch and allow to dry flat again you will get way more that 2-3 uses out them !!!!!! this is what our quilting class does especially since the insanity quilt has over 10,000 hexagons. i have the centre piece already completed and am still using my first bag of 700 templates using this method.
I use "The Creative Memories Collection" Hexagon maker for scrapbooking to punch templates out of freezer paper and then iron onto fabric.
Barbara, for almost 15 years I have been searching for the mosaic quilt made by Elizabeth Van Horne Clarkson! I saw a B&W photo of the quilt in an old book but there was no pattern nor was there any info abut the maker. I made my version of the quilt and designed my own border. Earlier this year I finally found the original quilt. I was so pleased to find a picture on your blog of another version of this beautifu quilt. I posted a picture of my quilt on my blog and hope you might drop by to see it!


Ollie introduces their new packaging and website. It is now easier than ever to order and feed fresh food for your pup.
Would you recommend Ollie Pets 2.0 to a friend?
Wow, great website design! Useful service. Dog food brands put all shorts of undesirable ingredients in their products, so this appears to be a fantastic alternative. I assume it's US only? Do you have any plans to expand?

Based on the real experiences of cartoonist Élodie Durand, Parenthesis is a gripping testament of struggle, fragility, acceptance, and transformation which was deservedly awarded the Revelation Prize of the Angoulême International Comics Festival.

This photograph is part of my project, Poca Luz, that presents the strange beauty of the mountain districts of Catorce and Armadillo, San Luis Potosi State, Mexico. My exploration of this difficult land has challenged my physical strength, changed my understanding of the world, and reshaped my artistic practice, leading me to change my medium from painting to photography. While these photographs are truthful in the common and documentary senses, they aspire to be images that communicate experience and invite contemplation.
The house and church interiors in my series present a kind of oasis or refuge from the harsh environment. Containing images that point to the sacred, they appear to be structured to transport the imagination of the person who enters. House and church share in a common devotional and handmade design, and though they are humble in nature and primitive in material, they may rival in beauty, when transformed into images, the interiors of French modern painting, such as the 1911 Red Studio of Matisse.
Seth Thompson spent his childhood in the Washington, D. C. area; he has lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1962. He began painting in 1971; in 1993, he started working as a photographer in rural San Luis Potosi state, Mexico. MFA, Painting, 1987; MA, English and Film Criticism, 1976; BA, English, University of Oregon, Phi Beta Kappa. Thompson has exhibited nationally and in Mexico. He has worked on two series of images of small ranches in rural San Luis Potosi State, Mexico since 1994. He has traveled across the counties of Catorce and Armadillo in San Luis by foot, horse, and jeep, photographing inside views of churches, houses, and stores, and making portraits of locals. Seth is an instructor of color photography at Pratt in Seattle.

Veranda Apartments Drowning Accident Claims the Life of 5-Year-Old Boy
A drowning accident has taken the life of a five-year-old boy in Texas City. The incident occurred on Saturday at the Veranda Apartments at 3700 9th Avenue North. The boy's mother said that he had wandered away for about five minutes when she decided to call authorities. According to ABC 13, officers arrived at the scene at approximately 3 p.m. and found the child face down in the pool. First responders performed CPR before having the child taken by Life Flight to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. The boy died shortly after arriving in Galveston. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
Drowning is a Problem in Houston
Drowning has claimed the lives of 19 people in the Houston area this year and, throughout the state, drowning is a problem. In June we reported that Texas has more drowning accidents than anywhere else in the nation. At the time, the state already had at least 40 reported instances of drowning, 8 of which were children in Harris County. The issue also presented itself in North Texas over the Fourth of July weekend. During this period, four people lost their lives from drowning accidents in North Texas.
Why Do Drowning Accidents Happen in Texas?
Most experts place the blame for drowning accidents on basic safety practices. When children drown, it does not occur as portrayed in films. Drowning does not usually consist of flailing arms and screams for help. Instead, it is a silent process that can take just seconds to turn from dangerous to deadly.
While distraction plays a role in drowning accidents, they often occur because those in charge of pools fail to provide the security measures needed to keep children out of them. A pool should have constant adult supervision during use and should have adequate barricades to keep children out while no adult supervision is present.
Apartment drownings are particularly frustrating as they can be a sign that a property's management or staff failed to secure a pool properly. Since it is reasonable to assume that children will be present at apartment complexes, property owners must be vigilant with pool safety standards. When they fail to do so, children and their family pay the steepest costs.

Dallas ISD proposes to stop out-of-school suspensions for younger students
Dallas ISD is considering a proposal that would stop out-of-school suspensions for younger students.
Under the new proposal, students in pre-k through second grade would not be suspended, except in situations where it's required by law.
Lakashia Wallace says her son Joseph has had problems in school from the start.
"I noticed his behavior wasn't quite like the other children," she said. "He was suspended in pre-K. He was suspended in the first grade, second grade and then at the third grade. I was told he was in an altercation with another student and would have to go to the alternative school."
By third grade, Joseph been suspended nine times. In 2011 when he was in middle school, Wallace and her son were part of FOX 4's coverage of DISD's punishment policy.
"I even had some teachers who felt it was corporal punishment that he needed," Wallace explained. "I had several teachers tell me maybe he needed to be spanked harder."
Wallace says things improved when Joseph was diagnosed as bipolar and other disorders. But his case is not unique.
According to data from DISD school board member Miguel Solis, about 5, 472 kids in pre-k through fifth grade were suspended in 2015. More than half of the kids were African American.
"When you see numbers like that, you have to make a change," said Solis.
According to the proposed policy, out-of-school suspensions for pre-k through second grade would be phased out during the 2017-2018 school year and would only be used as a last resort for third through fifth graders.
"The goal is to keep kids in school number one, and number two, make sure we're getting at the root cause of what might be causing a lot of these disruptions," said Solis.
As for Wallace, she hopes a reformed policy can help other kids, like her, son stay in the classroom.
"Early on, if we have children that are continuing to be disruptive, let's find out what the root of these problems are, not sending them home for 2 or 3 days," Wallace said.

Clyde King recalls a mound visit from Fidel Castro
November 26, 2016 Branch Rickey, Brooklyn Dodgers, Clyde King, Cuba, Death, Fidel Castro, International League, Jackie Robinson, Obituary, Rochester Red Wings No comments
On April 20, 1960, Rochester Red Wings manager and former Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Clyde King stood inches away from Fidel Castro as he threw out the first pitch of the International League season. Some fifty-six years after their encounter, the Cuban leader passed away November 25, 2016 at the age of 90. Little did King know at the time that the man he once squared off in an exhibition game would become one of the vilest dictators in modern history.
Fidel Castro (l.) throws out the opening day pitch in 1960 as Clyde King (r.) watches
"I think it was 1960 when I got to meet Castro," King said from his North Carolina home in 2008. "We opened the season there and Castro threw out the first ball. We didn't know he was a bad guy at the time. We went out the mound and he said, 'Do you remember me?' I said, "Yes, I remember you.' He said, 'I'm Fidel Castro, do you remember going to the University of Havana one Sunday afternoon?'"
King quickly harked back to an exhibition the Dodgers played in Havana during 1947 while Branch Rickey was preparing Jackie Robinson to join the big league club. Castro proudly reminded the Red Wings manager that he suited up against the Dodgers squad that day.
"When the Dodgers were training, one club stayed in Havana and the other went to the University so we could get more players in action," King recalled. "Castro said, 'Do you remember who you pitched against?' I said 'No.' He said, 'Me!' I asked him if he remembered the score, he said he didn't. You know what the score was? 15-1!"
King acknowledged Castro's support of baseball as Cuba's flagship sport and his failed attempts to play professionally; however, whatever affection Castro had for the sport was overshadowed by the terror of his reign.
"We found out later he wasn't such a good guy," King said. "He was terrific baseball guy. He tried to work out for a pro team but he couldn't do it. We sort of wore him out that day."

Small Business Administration Loans»
What Does the Small Business Administration Offer?
by Sheila Mason
To get SBA help, a manufacturer can have no more than 1,500 employees.
1 Grants for Women to Start a BBQ Catering Business
2 Grants and Loans for a Small Business
3 Funding Programs for Micro Entrepreneurs
4 The Advantages of a Minority Business Status
The U.S. Small Business Administration helped more than 60,000 American businesses get loans totaling $30.5 billion in the government's 2011 fiscal year, according to The Wall Street Journal. But the loan program is only one of many SBA programs that offer financial help, training or advice to small businesses.
More than 99 percent of the nation's for-profit companies meet the SBA's definition of a small business (see Resources section), so anyone who owns or is starting a small business might want to check out the SBA's offerings.
The SBA doesn't lend money to businesses. Instead, it backs loans that banks and others make to companies.
There are several SBA loan programs. One is called the Microloan Program, for loans of up to $50,000 to companies that probably couldn't get financing elsewhere. A business can use Microloan money as working capital or to buy inventory, furniture or equipment, but not to pay debts. Loans in that program average $13,000.
Borrowers have up to six years to repay the loans, generally at 8 percent to 13 percent interest. The money lent under this program is available to nonprofit community groups that act as intermediaries and manage the loans.
Loans for larger amounts are available under other SBA programs. One program involves low-interest loans to businesses, homeowners and renters who are disaster survivors.
The SBA helps businesses get venture capital through its Small Business Investment Company program. The SBA works with private investment funds that "search across the United States for promising businesses in need of debt or equity financing," according to the agency.
Other Financial Aid
Companies that do scientific research and development might be able to get a federal grant for up to $750,000 under the Small Business Innovation Research program. The SBA, which is a coordinator of this program, emphasizes that eligibility requirements for the grants are stringent.
The SBA also guarantees some surety bonds. A surety — from one party that consents to be responsible for the obligation of another, such as a contractor — assumes a contractor's responsibility for a project to be completed. The SBA enters agreements with sureties guaranteeing that it will assume a percentage of loss when contractors breach contracts.
Advice and Training
The SBA offers online training in starting, operating and financing a business, and it provides counseling and mentoring at local centers throughout the United States.
Small Business Development Centers provide free services to help entrepreneurs deal with marketing, production and technical problems.
There also are SBA centers dedicated to helping women, veterans, and entrepreneurs who export.

MojoWorld was a commercial, fractal-based modelling program for the creation of digital landscapes, and attracted a following among artists who create space art and science fiction scenes. Originally created by Ken Musgrave, it was marketed commercially by his Pandromeda Inc. company.

Functionality
MojoWorld could generate entire planets through mathematics and procedural generation, using a simple graphical interface and a planet-generation Wizard. The resulting terrain could then be navigated in 3D space much like a videogame, allowing users to easily find exactly the right place for a scenic landscape picture. MojoWorld also allowed the user to edit the landscape and scene, and then have it rendered to an image by the computer.

As well as making still renders of any size, 360-degree views of the planet could also be shared by having the software render a set of 6 x 90-degree tiles covering the entire view. This could be assembled in Quicktime QTVR and shown on the Web. After Quicktime became defunct, tile assemblage was handled by Pano2VR.  In 2004 a wholly free MojoWorld 3 Viewer was also released, which enabled anyone to experience, view and render from a saved MojoWorld planet file.  Render size for the free Viewer was capped at "1024 x 465 pixels with MojoWorld watermark", and animations could be rendered at "320 x 240 pixels".

The software was supported by a detailed 500-page manual. Users expanded the software's functionality with free plugins, such a volumetrics plugin.

Versions
MojoWorld 3.0 was released in 2004 in Standard and Professional versions, with Pro adding official plugins such as MojoTree (forest generation) and a library of plants and planets. Version 3.1 added native support for .pz3 files created with Poser 6. The final release was MojoWorld 3.1.1 in October 2005, featuring procedural forest generation, boulders, and rocks, and enhanced atmospheres.  Many users later migrated to the somewhat similar but more complex Vue landscape software.

MojoWorld 3.1.1 is known to work on Windows 8.1 and 10, and at 2019 a small-but-keen groups of users gather on the Renderosity forum for MojoWorld. There are other users in Russia who keep version 3.1.1 alive, and who can be found via using Russia's Yandex search-engine.

Notable media usage
MojoWorld was used as part of the toolset to create the blockbuster movie The Day After Tomorrow.

MojoWorld was also used to create the planetary backdrops seen in PopCap Games''' Bejeweled 2 and Bejeweled Twist.3D Art Direct'' magazine interviewed and featured many MojoWorld artists from issue #1 to #32.

Oregon Natural Resources Committee to Consider Nation's First Proposed Statewide Ban on Mink Farming
ANIMAL WELLNESS ACTION
April 05, 2021, 21:07 GMT
Mink Farms Incubate Cruelty and COVID-19
Experts to testify that mink farms may incubate a new variant and act as viral superspreaders, given their unique susceptibility to SARS-Co-V-2
We'd be foolish not to pro-actively address this reservoir of highly vulnerable animals here given all we know about how mink factory farms can contract, transmit, and alter the virus."
— Scott Beckstead
SALEM, OREGON, UNITED STATES, April 5, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A key Oregon Senate Committee will take up the nation's first proposed statewide ban on mink farming in the wake of a torrent of scientific findings underscoring the major role that mink farms may have in spreading COVID-19. Senator Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, is the sponsor of a bill to phase out mink farming within 270 days of enactment and to provide support to the state's seven actively producing mink farmers. Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy proposed the legislation, which is attracting broad support from animal welfare groups, conservationists, and scientists.
Last week, the World Health Organization released its "Global Study of Origins of SARS-CoV-2: China Part Joint WHO-China Study 14 January-10 February 2021" (Joint Report) and noted that mink may be the potential reservoir or reservoir host of COVID-19 - and in fact could even be the primary source of COVID-19.
Other main points from the WHO report, specifically regarding mink and their role in SARS-CoV-2:
- Mink and COVID-19 mutations and outbreaks may go unnoticed;
- Mink may have been the intermediate host of COVID-19;
- Spillover to humans can occur indirectly through animal products and excreta;
- Infection and intraspecies transmission in farmed mink could lead to complex transmission pathways difficult to unravel and could create a year-round endemic transmission pattern.
Mink are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, which spreads rapidly within high-density mink farms once introduced, by direct and indirect contact. High animal density on these industrial operations increases the chance for transmission.
Mink farm infections have been reported from Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden. In the United States, perhaps as many as 20 percent of farms have seen infections. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), between June 2020 and January 2021, Denmark reported over 1,000 human cases of infection with a mink-related variant of the virus that spread from the North to the South, with estimates from Danish Authorities running as high as 4,000 human cases traced back to mink.
"The global pandemic that has resulted in millions of deaths started has its origins in the inhumane and severe exploitation of wildlife for commerce," said Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action. "There are robust efforts to address live-wildlife markets, but the United States and China are lagging badly in addressing the threat that mink factory farms pose. Addressing this problem must be a key feature of our continuing COVID-19 response."
Denmark, the leading mink producer in the world, killed all of its 17 million captive after the Cluster-5 variant developed on mink farms there. "The global community dodged a viral bullet because of aggressive action by Denmark," added Scott Beckstead, director of campaigns for the Center for a Humane Economy, and an Oregonian who grew up on an Idaho mink farm. "We'd be foolish not to pro-actively address this reservoir of highly vulnerable animals here given all we know about how mink factory farms can contract, transmit, and alter the virus."
An outbreak of Covid-19 occurred on an Oregon mink farm in Clatsop County in August. Three mink escaped from the infected farm, and two of those animals tested positive, meaning they could have also infected native wild mink and other wildlife.
"Farmed mink may be key to the 2019 emergence of COVID-19 as the 'missing link' between bats and people in an Asian zoonotic perfect storm," noted Jim Keen, D.V.M. Ph.D., a former senior USDA scientist who deployed to deal with outbreaks of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in the U.K. in 2001 and African Swine Fever in western Asia some years later. "If we continue to farm mink by the millions and use their skins for topical decoration, they will likely remain a continual source of COVID virus variants. And if COVID spreads from farmed mink into the large wild and feral mink populations across the northern hemisphere (deemed likely by the WHO), humans may be cursed with COVID risk forever."
Animal Wellness Action (Action) is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(4) organization with a mission of helping animals by promoting legal standards forbidding cruelty. We champion causes that alleviate the suffering of companion animals, farm animals, and wildlife. We advocate for policies to stop dogfighting and cockfighting and other forms of malicious cruelty and to confront factory farming and other systemic forms of animal exploitation. To prevent cruelty, we promote enacting good public policies, and we work to enforce those policies. To enact good laws, we must elect good lawmakers, and that's why we remind voters which candidates care about our issues and which ones don't. We believe helping animals helps us all.
The Animal Wellness Foundation (Foundation) is a Los Angeles-based private charitable organization with a mission of helping animals by making veterinary care available to everyone with a pet, regardless of economic ability. We organize rescue efforts and medical services for dogs and cats in need and help homeless pets find a loving caregiver. We are advocates for getting veterinarians to the front lines of the animal welfare movement; promoting responsible pet ownership; and vaccinating animals against infectious diseases such as distemper. We also support policies that prevent animal cruelty and that alleviate suffering. We believe helping animals helps us all.
The Center for a Humane Economy ("the Center") is a non-profit organization that focuses on influencing the conduct of corporations to forge a humane economic order. The first organization of its kind in the animal protection movement, the Center encourages businesses to honor their social responsibilities in a culture where consumers, investors, and other key stakeholders abhor cruelty and the degradation of the environment and embrace innovation as a means of eliminating both.

AASraw is with synthesis and production ability from gram to mass order of Bortezomib powder (179324-69-7), under CGMP regulation and trackable quality control system.
Bortezomib is an anti-cancer drug and the first therapeutic proteasome inhibitor to be used in humans. Proteasomes are cellular complexes that break down proteins. In some cancers, the proteins that normally kill cancer cells are broken down too quickly. Bortezomib interrupts this process and lets those proteins kill the cancer cells. It is approved in the U.S. and Europe for treating relapsed multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. In multiple myeloma, complete clinical responses have been obtained in patients with otherwise refractory or rapidly advancing disease.

It is approved in the U.S. and Europe for treating relapsed multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. In multiple myeloma, complete clinical responses have been obtained in patients with otherwise refractory or rapidly advancing disease.
The boron atom in Bortezomib raw powder binds the catalytic site of the 26S proteasome with high affinity and specificity. In normal cells, the proteasome regulates protein expression and function by degradation of ubiquitylated proteins, and also cleanses the cell of abnormal or misfolded proteins. Clinical and preclinical data support a role in maintaining the immortal phenotype of myeloma cells, and cell-culture and xenograft data support a similar function in solid tumor cancers. While multiple mechanisms are likely to be involved, proteasome inhibition may prevent degradation of pro-apoptotic factors, thereby triggering programmed cell death in neoplastic cells. Recently, it was found that Bortezomib powder caused a rapid and dramatic change in the levels of intracellular peptides that are produced by the proteasome. Some intracellular peptides have been shown to be biologically active, and so the effect of Bortezomib raw powder on the levels of intracellular peptides may contribute to the biological and/or side effects of the drug.
Bortezomib powder is associated with peripheral neuropathy in 30% of patients; occasionally, it can be painful. This can be worse in patients with pre-existing neuropathy. In addition, myelosuppression causing neutropenia and thrombocytopenia can also occur and be dose-limiting. However, these side effects are usually mild relative to bone marrow transplantation and other treatment options for patients with advanced disease. Bortezomib raw powder is associated with a high rate of shingles, although prophylactic acyclovir can reduce the risk of this. Acute interstitial nephritis has also been reported.
Gastro-intestinal (GI) effects and asthenia are the most common adverse events.
The anticancer effects of Bortezomib raw powder as a single agent have been demonstrated in xenograft models of multiple myeloma, adult T-cell leukemia, lung, breast, prostate, pancreatic, head and neck, and colon cancer, and in melanoma. Oral Bortezomib powder 1.0 mg/ kg daily for 18 days causes tumor growth delays, as well as a decrease in the number of metastases in the Lewis lung cancer model. Bortezomib powder at a single dose of up to 5 mg/kg significantly decreased the surviving fraction of breast tumor cells. Bortezomib powder 1.0 mg/kg administrated weekly for 4 weeks reduces tumor growth by 60% in murine xenograft models of prostate cancer. 1.0 mg/kg Bortezomib raw powder administration for 4 weeks results in a 72% or 84% reduction in pancreatic cancer murine xenografts growth, as well as an increase in tumor cell apoptosis. 1.0 mg/kg Bortezomib powder treatment results in significant inhibition of human plasmacytoma xenograft growth, increase in tumor cells apoptosis and overall survival, and a decrease in tumor angiogenesis.
Targeting the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has emerged as a rational approach in the treatment of human cancer. Based on positive preclinical and clinical studies, Bortezomib raw powder was subsequently approved for the clinical use as a front-line treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients and for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma, for which this drug has become the staple of treatment. The approval of Bortezomib powder by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) represented a significant milestone as the first proteasome inhibitor to be implemented in the treatment of malignant disease. Bortezomib raw powder has shown a positive clinical benefit either alone or as a part of combination therapy to induce chemo-/radio-sensitization or overcome drug resistance. One of the major mechanisms of Bortezomib powder associated with its anticancer activity is through upregulation of NOXA, which is a proapoptotic protein, and NOXA may interact with the anti-apoptotic proteins of Bcl-2 subfamily Bcl-XL and Bcl-2, and result in apoptotic cell death in malignant cells. Another important mechanism of Bortezomib raw powder is through suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway resulting in the down-regulation of its anti-apoptotic target genes. Although the majority of success achieved with Bortezomib powder has been in hematological malignancies, its effect toward solid tumors has been less than encouraging. Additionally, the widespread clinical use of Bortezomib powder continues to be hampered by the appearance of dose-limiting toxicities, drug-resistance and interference by some natural compounds. These findings could help guide physicians in refining the clinical use of Bortezomib raw powder, and encourage basic scientists to generate next generation proteasome inhibitors that broaden the spectrum of efficacy and produce a more durable clinical response in cancer patients. Other desirable applications for the use of proteasome inhibitors include the development of inhibitors against specific E3 ligases, which act at an early step in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and the discovery of less toxic and novel proteasome inhibitors from natural products and traditional medicines, which may provide more viable drug candidates for cancer chemoprevention and the treatment of cancer patients in the future.
Bortezomib powder is a drug that inhibits the mammalian 26S proteasome. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an essential role in regulating the intracellular concentration of specific proteins, thereby maintaining homeostasis within cells. Inhibition of the 26S proteasome prevents this targeted proteolysis, which can affect multiple signaling cascades within the cell. This disruption of normal homeostatic mechanisms can lead to cell death. Experiments have demonstrated that Bortezomib raw powder is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell types in vitro. Bortezomib raw powder causes a delay in tumor growth in vivo in nonclinical tumor models, including multiple myeloma. Tumor cells, that is, rapidly dividing cells, appear to be more sensitive to proteasome inhibition.
Bortezomib powder is a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. The 26S proteasome is a large protein complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins. The active site of the proteasome has chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and postglutamyl peptide hydrolysis activity. The 26S proteasome degrades various proteins critical to cancer cell survival, such as cyclins, tumor suppressors, BCL-2, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. Inhibition of these degradations sensitizes cells to apoptosis. Bortezomib raw powder is a potent inhibitor of 26S proteasome, which sensitizes activity in dividing multiple myeloma and leukemic cells, thus inducing apoptosis. In addition, Bortezomib powder appears to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to traditional anticancer agents (e.g., gemcitabine, cisplatin, paclitaxel, irinotecan, and radiation).

The Sound of Music Live (2015) Rated NR | What to Watch.
A nun is tasked with caring for seven children whose widowed father is a naval captain. Starring Kara Tointon, Julian Ovenden, and Alexander Armstrong.
This live performance of The Sound of Music combines both the stage show and the 1965 movie into a brilliant performance. The live show includes the songs from both the stage and the movie, and they were wonderful. The performances were fantastic; Ovenden, as Captain von Trapp, was a joy to watch. Although Tointon was fun to watch and a joy to listen to, I struggle with the boyishness that she brought to Maria's character. I do see Maria as a ladylike, naïve woman, but a tomboy? No. Then, as if marrying made her a lady, she transformed. That seemed out-of-place and unnatural. There is much going for the film, making it worth a watch.

I can also remember the moment I decided to make music my life. I was 13 or 14 at the time and the performance was of Beethoven's Eighth.
Hopkins has stated that after he is finished with a scene, he simply discards the lines, not remembering them later on. This is unlike others who usually remember their lines from a film even years later. Richard Attenborough, who directed Hopkins on five occasions, found himself going to great lengths during the filming of Shadowlands (1993) to accommodate the differing approaches of his two stars (Hopkins and Debra Winger), who shared many scenes.
Gable had played an extremely similar character also named "Blackie" two years earlier in the smash hit gangster epic Manhattan Melodrama, with William Powell and Myrna Loy. The title song may be the best-remembered part of the film.
Trance is also found, but she is weakened by her attempt to transport Andromeda and its crew to Seefra. She does not quite remember who she is and what she is supposed to do. Trance underwent a metamorphosis yet again; she is still golden-skinned but appears younger, and her personality resembles her first purple incarnation.
I recall my girls were somewhat aroused by the automobiles which were passing the house and an airplane which was flying overhead. I do not remember just what was said as to John leaving. I saw the machine gun he had; at least I believed it was a machine gun from the description, it having a large drum on it, and this was lying on the bed in the front room.
In the early days of heraldry, very simple bold rectilinear shapes were painted on shields. These could be easily recognized at a long distance and could be easily remembered. They therefore served the main purpose of heraldry: identification.
The bank was busy and no one could remember anything specific about the person. He had filled out a required form, which gave his name as J. J. Faulkner.
As Jim Andrews calls him a "42-year old balding bagman" in the strip for 6 July 1979, his birthyear could be 1936 or 1937. He tells Earl that he does not remember where he attended high school. He mentions to Honey that he fought in the Belgian Congo to pay for college.
Without the radio revenues that supported mighty NBC and CBS, DuMont programmers had to rely on their wits and on connections on Broadway. Eventually, the network provided original programs that are still remembered more than fifty years later. The network also largely ignored the standard business model of 1950s television, in which one advertiser sponsored an entire show, enabling it to have complete control over its content.
Owing to repeated time travel and advanced age, he is extremely forgetful and absent-minded. He often does not remember which time period he has travelled nor the reason why. Among other things, he has a liking for tea and silly jokes.
Most of these men are remembered in the name of the streets of the town.
Psychosis after a seizure is relatively common, occurring in between 6 and 10% of people. Often people do not remember what occurred during this time.
My mother introduced him to me as my real dad. I remember I said, that was impossible because my father was dead. How was I supposed to know who that man was?
Psychosis after a seizure is relatively common, occurring in 6-10% of people. Often people do not remember what happened during this time. Localized weakness, known as Todd's paralysis, may also occur after a focal seizure.
Remember the country and the age in which we live. Remember that we are English, that we are Christians.
She kept the St Peter's Street - the building that was formerly the Chequers Inn at that time and she showed me the bull-running sport from a bedroom window. I was only four years old then, but I can clearly remember it all. The end of St Peter's Street (where it was joined by Rutland Terrace) was blocked by two farm wagons, and I saw the bull come to the end of the street and return again.
I hadn't fired directly at a British soldier, as they had been too hard to get a clear shot at. I can remember lying there with all this firing going over my head.
I remembered right there and then how much I loved that album.
Autobiographical memory also refers to memory of a person's history. An individual does not remember exactly everything that has happened in one's past. Memory is constructive, where previous experience affects how we remember events and what we end up recalling from memory.

WOLVES NIP WILD ON THE ROAD
Home | News | WOLVES NIP WILD ON THE ROAD
DES MOINES, Iowa – Chicago continued its mastery of Iowa in Des Moines with a 2-1 victory in a Saturday matinee. The victory ran Chicago's win streak to 11 games at Wells Fargo Arena.
Pheonix Copley (13-15-3) made an AHL career-high 45 saves, losing a shutout bid with 1:35 left in the game. Evan Trupp scored his seventh goal of the season and rookie Bryce Gervais found the back of the net in just his second professional game as the Wolves completed a weekend sweep of the Wild.
Chicago (30-30-5-3) opened scoring with 45 seconds left in the opening period. Hubert Labrie launched a shot from inside the blue line that was deflected in the slot by Trupp. Gervais gave the Wolves a two-goal cushion at 2:20 of the second period when he poked a loose puck to himself off the boards and broke in alone on goaltender Leland Irving, scoring low stick side. Trupp assisted on the play for his second point of the game.
Iowa (21-38-4-4) finally broke through at 18:25 of the third period, when Colton Beck jammed the puck through a goal crease scrum for his fifth tally of the year. The Wild finished with a 46-16 edge in shots as Irving (10-20-5) made 14 saves.
The Wolves return to Allstate Arena this Wednesday at 7 p.m. to host Rockford in an Illinois Lottery Cup battle. To find great ticket deals, visit ChicagoWolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.
