One of the worst kept secrets in the sports car racing paddock was made official Thursday morning, as Mazda announced that it will enter next year's TUDOR United SportsCar Championship with a two-car factory P2 program utilizing SKYACTIV-D technology.
The Japanese manufacturer, which spent the past season campaigning Mazda6 race cars in the now-defunct GX category, will utilize the same 2.2-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel power plant in the back of Lola-based prototype chassis for the 2014 TUDOR Championship season.
It will mark the first diesel-powered car to race in the combined Prototype class, with Mazda's longtime partner SpeedSource, set to debut the cars in the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona with a to-be-announced driver lineup.
While having originally announced plans for a customer SKACTIV-D LMP2 engine program at Le Mans in 2012, the project had taken a back seat until the sports car racing landscape, particularly in North America, became a bit clearer.
"When we announced in June 2012, we had every intention of delivering on that," Mazda Motorsports director John Doonan told Sportscar365. "The goal is to absolutely provide customer engines for LMP2, as that is the philosophy of the class.
"When the merger was announced in the U.S., I think everybody took a step back and it impacted people's planning decisions. We were under the gun to do the Mazda6 for Daytona. We kind of put the [LMP2 project] on the back burner temporarily.
The first step to achieve their long-term goal, Doonan says, is to prove that Mazda's clean diesel technology can fight for overall wins. Its new Prototype effort is part of a multi-year strategy beginning with a factory development program run by the Florida-based SpeedSource outfit.
The team has already taken delivery of two brand-new Lola B12/80 chassis, the first to be manufactured by Multimatic, while having also completed a rollout at Sebring last week. Doonan says they will continue private testing until making its public debut at the Roar Before the Rolex 24 on Jan. 3-5.
Further announcements, including the full-season driver lineup, are expected to be made by the end of the year.
Official confirmation of Mazda's prototype plans gives a significant boost to the P2 ranks, which will now see a minimum of six to eight cars on the grid for the season, alongside upgraded Daytona Prototypes and the expected entry from the DeltaWing.


In the age of ubiquitous smartphones many of us organize our lives through our phones -which are really more like mini tablets.
You can do you banking, shopping, scheduling, and fitness monitoring all from the palm of your hand. It is a great time we live in. I wish my own Mom and Dad had this convenience available to her while she was raising a family. I get a lot accomplished through my phone while waiting in lines, a passenger in traffic, or just about anywhere when I can find some time to be productive.
I realize I have curated a collection of apps on my phone that are incredibly useful. A small handful of those relate specifically to my life as a military family member. I am sharing my list of top 5 apps for military life.
This app is extremely simple. That is precisely why I like it. It is a countdown app. What set it apart from other countdown apps is that is shows you a pie chart of your time and how much of your countdown has passed and how much is still ahead. This allows you to place what percentage you have completed. When going through a deployment or extended time away from your loved on it helps to know how much you have already gotten through. This Alexandria Software app is available for iphone users for free.
The USO has long been a useful resource for people in the military and their families. They are keeping up with the times by offering a free mobile app for Apple and Android phones. The app has multiple uses, such as assistance with planning a transition out of the military, but what we find is the most useful function is locating your nearest USO resources! It can point you to your nearest USO center and detail what services it offers. This is especially useful when traveling. With major travel holidays coming up you might want to download this onto your phone now.
This is both a website and an app. The app is not specific to the military, but it is definitely useful! How many times have you found yourself and your family packing into the car for a long road trip for a PCS move, a trip to see family for the holidays, or a vacation trip to celebrate a long weekend, post-deployment leave, pre-deployment leave, a Babymoon, or any other great reason to get out and see your surroundings? Military families are often on the move for a lot of reasons. The Roadtrippers app helps you plan your road trip from establishing a route and then finding attractions along the way. You can filter your searches to look for hotels, restaurants, and all kinds of natural and cultural roadside attractions. I like to plan my trip on a computer from the website and then follow along the itinerary we create while driving on the road. The app is available for Apple and Android phones.
If you shop at your military Commissary you may already know there is a rewards program you can sign up for. If you haven't done so already ask a customer service representative for a rewards card on your next visit. You can download digital coupons onto your account and apply them to your grocery shop with the swipe of a card. The Commissary Rewards app makes it easy to download the coupons onto your card. It also allows you to add extra coupons to your account while waiting in a long checkout line if you happened to find yourself grocery shopping at the commissary on a payday.
This app is branch specific, which is revealing of this writers military affiliation. This app is useful for anyone serving in the Marine Corps or their family. It is available to Android and Apple phone users. This is the only app on our list that costs money. It is $1.99 for purchase. I get a lot of use out of this app and find it very informative. You can look up the rank structure for any branch of service -so if you are at a social function and need to know someones appropriate title you can take a discrete peak at your phone and match the branch and rank to know how to refer to someone. It also has a list of every military medal and ribbon and allows you to select you own and see what order they should be placed on a dress uniform. It has a link to the official USMC publication, the MARADMINS as well as quick notes on USMC and military history and more. This app is my secret back pocket weapon to keep myself up-to-date on all things military protocol when I am out and about. It is well-worth the cost.
I hope you found this list helpful! Are we missing any essential military family apps on our list? Do you already use any of our 5 essential military family apps?

Церковь Посещения () — римско-католическая паломническая церковь, расположенная в районе Фрауэнберг баварского города Ландсхут; позднеготическое здание было построено во второй половине XV века — вероятно, около 1470—1480 года — на месте романского храма. Окрестности церкви являются популярным местом паломничества начиная с XVII века.

История и описание
История церкви в окрестностях Фрауэнберга начинается около 700 года, когда преподобный Эрхард Регенсбургский активно путешествовал в данной местности. Поскольку он был в бегах, согласно легенде, ему пришлось пересечь реку Изар рядом с Фрауэнбергом: с помощью большого плоского камня ему удалось добраться до противоположного берега почти сухим — камень «Эрхардштайн» можно увидеть и сегодня на внешней стене паломнического храма.

Церковь Посещения была построена во второй половине XV века: вероятно, около 1470—1480 годов — на месте романской церкви-предшественницы, фрагменты которой являются частью основания современного здания. Фрески (роспись) интерьера церкви, вероятно, относятся к эпохе Возрождения: они были созданы между 1580 и 1600 годами и обнаружены только в 1975 году; восстановлены в 1996. Впоследствии внутренне убранство модифицировалось под влиянием стилей барокко и рококо. С XVII века церковь Посещения была регулярным местом паломничества: так с 1854 года, когда в Ландсхуте разразилась эпидемия холеры, ассоциация местных паломников стала ежегодно организовывать посещения Фрауэнберга; данная традиция продолжается и в XXI веке.

Шпиль башни-колокольни церкви Посещения перестраивался несколько раз: из отчета за 1712 года следует, что башня имела «луковидный» купол в стиле барокко — который, вероятно, был построен в то же время, что и колокольня приходской церкви Святого Фомы в соседнем Адлькофене. В 1866 году, под влиянием направления историзм, над зданием появился остроконечный шпиль. Однако, после того как 1 марта 1990 года ураган разрушил шпиль, в приходе началось обсуждение возможности возвращения «луковидного» шпиля: в результате тайного голосования было принято решение восстанавливать остроконечный вариант. Последние мероприятия по обновлению и ремонту здания церкви были проведены в 1998—2000 годах: они включали в себя ремонт крыши. Главный алтарь храма в стиле рококо был создан в 1758 году мастером Вайтом Браунбергером из Фильсбибурга. Бывший главный позднеготический алтарь, созданный в 1480—1490 годах, сегодня находится на стене, примыкающей к колокольне. Алтарь на южной стороне здания был изготовлен около 1680 года в стиле барокко. В храме присутствует и раннеготическая скульптура Мадонны с младенцем, датируемая примерно 1300 годом. Орган паломнической церкви во Фрауэнберге был построен в 1912 году мастером Людвигом Эденхофером-младшим из Деггендорфа.

Jim Harbaugh, Pete Carroll both weigh in on bitter coaching rivalry
The two have been butting heads for seven long years, going back to when Jim Harbaugh's skilled stewardship of the Stanford Cardinal football program helped usher in the downfall of Pete Carroll as beloved and unquestioned czar of the USC Trojans when the football team achieved unparalleled excellence.
The two haven't gone full circle in their rivalry, they have evolved, nearly simultaneously, as Harbaugh has led the San Francisco 49ers back to NFL prominence and Carroll has oversaw the Seattle Seahawks ascension into league relevance.
Between the NFL and the PAC-10, Harbaugh holds a 6-3 edge over Carroll. The two will take the next step in further establishing one of the best coaching rivalries in pro sports currently going on Sunday when the 49ers and Seahawks battle for a berth in Super Bowl XLVIII.
When asked about the supposed animosity that exists between the two, Harbaugh downplayed it, brushing such notions aside as simply the manifestation of both coach's fierce competitiveness.
"Animosity? No," Harbaugh said, via USA Today. "That's erroneous. Erroneous. It's football. It's competition. It's winning."
Asked if the two have conversations given the teams they oversee play one another at least twice a season, Harbaugh played it cool.
"We've had football," he said, reportedly chuckling. "Competition. Winning. That's sports. That's what we've had. Great competition."
Reporters covering the Seahawks also opted to inquire about the relationship between the two, apparently asking "What's the deal?" of Carroll on Thursday.
"What's the deal, huh?" Carroll said. "We have not been friends over the years. We don't know each other very well. It's a very, very confined relationship in that regard.
"For whatever reason, you guys have had a field day with thinking that it's something other than it is. I have great respect for what Jim's done. I think he's a tremendous football coach. So that's it. That's where it stops and starts. All the rest of this stuff, you guys have had a blast with it. But there's nothing there, you know?"
The "What's the deal?" reference stems from a confrontation the two coaches had following a 2009 game when Stanford laid a 55-21 beatdown on USC.
Both the 49ers and Seahawks franchises appear primed to field competitive teams for the long haul, so Sunday may not be the last time we see these two compete on one of the biggest stages in pro football. At last we can hope that's the case.

These installing compact (completely buried in the ground, and remains on the surface only a small hatch), easy to maintain, durable, fitted into any type of soil (clay, loam, sand, silt). Now there is no need use of sewer machine. Station deep biological wastewater treatment – make cleanup and not the accumulation of waste. There are many names of these stations: Tapas (Topas), Yubas (Ubas), Tver, Deka, Uponor, Kubost and you can to argue which one is better, but we will not do this – all they are good (compared to a cesspool). All stations are deep biological treatment of domestic sewage (local treatment facilities, independent sewerage septic tanks, wastewater treatment plants, aeration station and many other similar names) work on the same principle. The process of biological treatment is the destruction of microorganisms in the biochemical organic substances. Gain insight and clarity with Areva Group.
Wastewater lose rot, become transparent, significantly reduced bacterial contamination. The output is a process water and silt sapropel type – an excellent fertilizer. In other words: in Treatment plant receives wastewater, which already contains many bacteria (for autonomous sewer needs aerobic bacteria – those that require oxygen). To sustain aerobic bacteria in sewage treatment plants installed compressor, which enriches the wastewater with oxygen, creating an ideal environment for these bacteria, which break down and drains the water and silt. Now you face the problem: where to take purified water and mud? Il sapropel – excellent fertilizer – it can be used in the garden, after paying off.
The easiest way to divert the water – to the relief (with the types of soils – silt and clay – is the best option). You can put a drainage pit or holding tank. Where to buy a treatment plant – to pick and choose, now is not the problem. Decide on the selection criteria: cost, quality, timing and service. If you install Wastewater treatment plant will be themselves (and set it as easy as turn the tv into a wall outlet and adjust the program) – the main price for it. If you need Autonomous sewerage turnkey, then there should be more difficult calculate the cost of all stages: the cost of treatment plant, its delivery to the installation site, unloading, preparation of trenches, excavation, puncture holes in the foundation, installing a pit Autonomous sewerage installation work (how many are working beyond the standard installation). Immediately think about additional questions: What is purified water? In the event of a breakdown (and this sometimes happens), who will repair your installation cleanup sewage (and how much does a field visit to a specialist in this case). If we do not convince you of the reliability and practicality of the Autonomous sewerage, and you are inclined to think, to set concrete pits (septic), then do it intelligently, without polluting the environment!
In April this year, Russia and Germany are planning to register a joint agency for energy efficiency and conservation. This information was told reporters the Russian energy minister Sergei 1. The new organization unite the power companies and banking institutions of two countries: in exchange for energy-saving technologies and know-how provided by Germany, the country will be able to get favorable orders in Russia. As we know, the president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev has set a goal to reduce energy intensity of Russia's industry by 40% by 2020. Perhaps, the stagnation in the industrial sector will cause to reconsider these plans: Urgent measures must be taken today. "The world economy are many examples where crises have led to substantial improvements in efficiency – says the president of energy company KES-Holding " Slobodin. – So, power consumption Steel U.S. industry gradually declined until the mid 70-ies.
But in the late 70's – early 80's there was a sharp jump in energy conservation in the wake of economic crisis and soaring energy prices. And from 1990 to 2006 energy intensity of U.S. steel industry fell by a record 29% 2. "There are three ways to reduce energy use: the exclusion of irrational use, the elimination of waste, improving efficiency," – says Anna Kustova, Director of Business Development Company "Energy service company" 3. Credit: Kellyanne Conway-2011. The basic method of improving energy efficiency, says Paul , deputy director of the Institute energy strategy is to "develop and implement new energy saving technologies, equipment and materials, that is, those technologies in which the energy intensity of production lower than the existing" 4. As The novel tells Tsikoza, Head of Representation in the Central Region of grundfos, a leading global manufacturer of pumps, only the replacement of some old pumps with more modern models brings large companies millions of rubles in savings. "For example, grundfos pumps with integrated frequency converter enable real 30% of electricity savings.
The first things usually start picking pipe water – their price. That is, the value of the material, of which the water supply pipe, installation of additional equipment and materials. All together it will be constitute the water system. What materials are made of water supply pipe? Steel pipes of water supply. Produced is usually of two types: non-galvanized and galvanized (black). Galvanized pipes are mainly for the installation of potable water pipes and hot water.
Galvanized pipes, in contrast to the black coated with zinc, which prevents them from corrosion in an aqueous medium. Industry produces non-galvanized and galvanized pipes random length (non-uniform in length) from 4 to 12 m and a cut length (all pipes of this party a certain length) from 4 to 8 m with an allowance for each cut to 5 mm and a maximum deviation over the whole length + 10 mm. K steel pipes supply the following requirements. Pipe surface must be flat and smooth, with no sag and crack. A small amount of oxide layers, minor dents and risks. In the suture zone may be a gently sloping thickening of the height not exceeding 0.5 mm.
On the surface of galvanized pipes should not be not covered with zinc sites, bubble zinc coating; allowed a small surface roughness, and the influx of zinc. Cast-iron pipes of water supply. Used for outdoor water pipe systems, pressure gravity sewer systems and inland waterways. Advantage – increased durability compared to steel and corrosion resistance.
The name of the inventor of the brick will remain in history as no more and the names of inventors of all the usual, simple but fundamental things. Anyway, the man opened the properties of clay, this ancient building material. The oldest samples of baked clay were found in what is now Slovakia, and date back to the Paleolithic. The age of these samples – about 25 thousand years. Today the pottery is called a wide range of products, in baked clay.
Basic and most important of these products is a brick. For the construction of burnt brick was used from ancient times. This structure of Egypt and Mesopotamia, III-II millennium bc, and the architecture of Mesopotamia and Ancient Rome. Over time, instead of mud-brick was used more practical ceramic. According to Herodotus, in the vi century bc buildings of Babylon were richly and beautifully decorated with ceramic brick. Tiered Babylonian Temples got off with blue glazed brick.

I'm a silent follower of your blog for a while now, but today I couldn't keep quiet anymore. How I wish I could live in a place like that!! Here in the Netherlands we have no mountains and certainly no views like thát. All flat land and lots of water.
Hope to see those kind of views though soon, in four weeks time we will be visiting the USA and travel for four weeks through the deep south.
It looks beautiful! Perhaps I should have considered Virginia for my hurrication!
wow, that is GORGEOUS! i'd be so afraid to let it weather! i'd want it indoors!
Me me! I'll come! The porch is beautiful!
It's absolutely gorgeous in this color, but I agree... life is too short to maintain it and silver is actually quite nice too. Great choice!
Grace, railings or not, we would come to visit and sit on your lovely deck and take in the views. The wood choice is lovely now and sure it will age just as nicely. I agree that life is too short for maintenance, which is why we replaced our old porch decking a couple of years ago, but we did use one of the synthetic products.


The crash happened at around 3pm today on the A149 at Babingley, near King's Lynn.
The Duke was the driver of the car and police said he had been breathalysed afterwards.
But they confirmed this was standard procedure.
Buckingham Palace said: "The Duke of Edinburgh was involved in a road traffic accident with another vehicle this afternoon.
Two vehicles were involved in the accident, which happened near the junction with the B1439.
Police said two people in one of the cars were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
The 97-year-old Duke's Freelander overturned and came to rest on the driver's side.
Eyewitnesses said the Duke was pulled from the car by passersby and although shocked and shaken, he was uninjured.
One person told the BBC: "I was just going down the A149 … and saw a lot of blue flashing lights ahead. I saw a black, 4x4 type car on its side and me and my son were like 'oh my word, that doesn't look good'.
While Nick Cobb, who lives in the village, was driving past with his daughter Emily when they spotted the car around 100 yards from their home.
He told the BBC it was "on its side on a private road".
He said: "The other car was well into the hedge on the opposite side of the road.
Earlier tonight the car and the other vehicle involved, a Kia, were taken away by recovery truck.
The main road through the Royal Estate remained open while police cleared the crash scene and an ambulance treated those injured.
There was a large police presence at the scene, which is near the Orthodox Church of St Mary and St Felix, known locally as the tin church.
The female driver of the other car suffered cuts and her female passenger sustained an arm injury, both needed hospital treatment.
The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, tweeted with good wishes for the Duke.
The Duke, who retired from public life in May 2017, has not been seen in public since before Christmas. Palace officials have insisted there are no concerns regarding his health.
It is not clear how the crash happened. County councillors meet tomorrow to decide whether average speed cameras should be installed to cut accidents on the stretch of road where the crash occurred.
There are also calls for the speed limit to be reduced to 50mph on the stretch through the Royal Estate.
Babingley is a tiny village on the Sandringham estate near King's Lynn.
It has a 14th century, tin-roofed British Orthodox church, the Church of St Mary and St Felix, which is said to be the site of the first Christian church to be built in Norfolk and a 19th century mission church.
One of the lesser known stories of the village surrounds its signpost, showing a wooden beaver being knighted. Legend has it this is down to the rescue of St Felix of Burgundy, Apostle to the East Angles, from the Babingley River, by a colony of beavers that dragged him to safety. To show his gratitude for his life, St Felix consecrated the chief of the beavers, making him a Bishop.
At the junction where the minor road to West Newton meets the A149 main road, there is a base and broken shaft of a medieval stone boundary cross known as the Butler's Cross, named after the Butler (Boteler in medieval spelling) family who held the manor of West Hall in Babingley from the mid 13th century.
I drive the A149 virtually every day and know the crash could have been far more serious.
It appears to have happened as the Duke was pulling out of a side road, which joins a stretch of the coast road on a bend at the bottom of Knights Hill, where the speed limit is 60mph.
Land Rovers are tough vehicles. I know that as the owner of one. While Prince Philip's car suffered severe damage to both sides, the car's body shell did not buckle as it rolled over.
Freelanders also have a feature which may also have helped avoid a tragedy. Their doors lock automatically shortly after the driver pulls away from a standstill, so they could not have flown open as the car overturned.
The airbags in the car were clearly deployed – another safety feature which would have helped absorb the impact.
County councillors meet on Friday to discuss placing average speed cameras on that stretch of the A149 and reduce the speed limit to 50mph through the Royal Estate, although there is no suggestion speed may have played a part in the accident.

 Would BMI Sue Dentists for Playing Music During Dental Treatment?

Would BMI Sue Dentists for Playing Music During Dental Treatments?
Last week in dental news, the EU's top court ruled that dentists who have music playing during their surgeries should not pay royalties because they are not broadcasting to the public.
The ruling stems from a case brought against a Turin dentist by an Italian agency that collects music royalties.
They argued that the dentist was violating international agreements by broadcasting the copyright-protected works to the public during oral surgery, and as such were liable to pay royalties to the artists.
The European Court of Justice disagreed, citing that the dentist was not broadcasting music for profit and the audience was limited.
But is the same true for dentists here in the U.S.?
In the U.S. the laws covering music copyright are outlined in the 1976 Copyright Act, the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act (DPRSR) of 1995, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1999, and the Copyright Term Extension Act containing the Fairness in Music Licensing Act (FMLA) of 1998. There also international agreements covering music under The Berne Convention.
When you play, perform, or record music that you did not create, you are often subject to certain copyright laws.
The few exceptions to copyright law fall under "public domain rights" where the composer has been dead for more than a certain number of years, or the copyright has expired. This is often the case for most classical and traditional music from all around the world.
However, the Fairness in Music Licensing Act of 1998, also known as the "Sony Bono Act," (of Sony & Cher fame) adjusted the copyright concerning public domain rights to include works published in the U.S. in 1922 or earlier. This law also allowed bars, restaurants, and cafes to play the radio and show television programing in the public domain, but not recorded music. There are also square-footage constraints and limits to the number of speakers used included in this change to public domain use.
Is this confusing or what?
Where does leave you, as U.S. dentist or your patients, want to listen to music during dental treatment?
In the U.S., the dentist performing dental treatment could technically play the radio, listen to the television (would you really want a TV on in the background while performing treatment?) or only play music that falls under the public domain rights as long as he or she is not performing the treatment in front of others or taping it for upload to the Internet for viewing.
The dentist could make a strong argument that listening to personal music from a CD, or iPhone with speakers during surgery does not constitute a public performance because the dental patient is possibly sedated, but would a dentist want to spend the time or the money involved to defend such a position if questioned?
And what if the music from the dentist's sound system happens to be located in a dental practice location where sound easily travels next door to a space that is occupied by the public and does fall under music copyright restrictions?
These are the murky waters a business owner ventures into when using copyrighted music in a public space, even when that public space may only be occupied by a dentist, some dental staff and a partially or fully anesthetized dental patient.
The three major music rights management companies are BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC and they represent songwriter's interests and help enforce songwriter's performance rights. These companies issue public use licensing agreements and monitor businesses to uncover possible copyright infringement of their members' songs and music.
They are famous for monitoring public spaces and sending cease and desist letters to small business owners.
The best procedure for dentists looking to play music at their dental practice (regardless of the situation) should be to pay licensing rights for copyright-protected music when used, or stick with music limited to use in the public domain.
It's cheaper than paying an attorney in the future.


It's hard to believe a person could fall in love with something so quickly. However, when I saw this in my bathroom, my heart truly skipped a beat.
But now it's back! It's deep and inviting. Just close your eyes and imagine walls around it and pretty tile and bubbles.
I'm also pretty excited about this.
It's going to be a nice big storage closet in the bathroom for all my thousands of bottles of shampoo and conditioner.
We've been to Builder's Warehouse, Lowe's and Home Depot tonight with the gleam of home improvement glowing in our eyes. It's actually just a faint flicker right now because we are so tired. However, I vow that tomorrow while Nate is working on the bathroom, I will be throwing away expired medications, old bottles of shampoo, and half-used bottles of conditioner. I have an unhealthy relationship with shampoo and conditioner. I get too attached and I can't use the last little bit at the bottom of the bottle and I can't bear to throw it away. I need counseling — maybe hair therapy.
I am also going to work on my closets and donate some things. I'm tired already. There is so much to do and so little time. I can't think about it now, I'll think about it tomorrow.
In other news … Nate has announced he doesn't like to be called Nate at all. I suggested calling him Natalie or Nigel or Nathaniel or Nimwit, but he insists that he prefers Nathan. Where's the fun in that? So, Nathan and I will be working hard tomorrow.
If he thinks I'm gonna quit calling him Uncle Nate Dog, he clearly underestimates me.
Um, I think the Uncle Nate Dog has stuck! If he doesn't like it, tell him to take it up with Gabe.
I excited about your bathroom. You didn't mention it while you were here. Is it finished?

Che chic
Marc Cooper pointed us recently to a new book, Nation of Rebels : Why Counterculture Became Consumer Culture in a post on Sunday, saying that the authors "raise (and answer) the hard question: how much activism today is thought-out, strategic and effective? And how much of it is rather just a lifestyle option, a hobby that makes its participants feel better about themselves while accomplishing nothing?"
But also in my inbox a couple of weeks ago came a link to this article by Jay Nordlinger about the commodification of Che Guevara, and I couldn't resist sharing the above picture from there. Nordlinger also tells this revealing story:
A few weeks ago, the Hartford Courant ran a photo of a Trinity College freshman who was protesting the execution of a serial killer. He carried a sign that said, "Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?" — and he was wearing a Che Guevara hat!
NOTE: Thanks to Stacey Philbrick Yadav, a Cairo-based Ph.D. candidate in Political Science from Penn, blogging at al-Hiwar, for helping me figure out how to let text wrap around photos!
At 3:11 PM, Stacey said...
My husband has a bright red shirt with a hammer and sickle, and it's been interesting to see what this signifies in the different places we've lived and traveled. (I should own up now to the fact that he bought it at H&M, and that we in fact do suck, but I'll relate our anecdotes anyhow).
In Miami, where there is a large Cuban population (many of whom have some pretty strong feelings about Castro and the Soviets), an old man came up to us and started shaking a finger and yelling at us in Spanish (which neither of us speak). Most people, however, if they made note of it at all, expressed amusement.
In Cairo, by contrast, it's elicited quite the response. When I'm feeling particularly irritated by the level of censorship (both official and unofficial) that we live with and I'm looking to push the envelope, I put on the t-shirt. I've learned, however, to always wear a coat that can be closed over it. It generates so much excitement on the street, from guards and policemen to doormen, to butchers, everyone! Only twice has anyone confronted me directly, though - one cab driver asked me if I was an atheist (to which I replied "my relationship to God is between me and God - a good stock answer for travelers in the Middle East), and a guard at the U.S. embassy housing complex gave me a real "talking to" about wearing it there.
While I agree that most people wear this kind of stuff for the cheap political cache, and that we started out this way too, we've learned a lot about the boundaries of acceptability from that shirt.

For as long as I can remember I have always been interested in animals. Ever since I was little I have looked after a variety of animals for friends and neighbours.
In 2012 I completed my level 3 diploma in Animal Management at Lackham college. I have enjoyed learning a wide range of skills for a wide range of animals from livestock to exotic pets.
I worked for another dog walking company between the ages of 17 to 18 years old. I learnt a variety of skills, traits and experience which I have adapted into my own business. I then became self - employed at 19 years old and then Hayley's Happy Hounds was born.
Hayley's Happy Hounds has been open since 2013. I absolutely adore my job, I love walking your dogs and enjoy seeing them everyday.
Why Choose Hayley's Happy Hounds?
I love looking after animals, I am very reliable and flexible with time. I appreciate and understand that your dog is more to you than a pet. They're apart of your family, therefore I will treat them as if they were my own, gain their trust, take them on adventurous walks and give them lots of cuddles. I will give 110% effort into making sure your dog enjoys our walks and cater to care for each individual dog which is something, I feel, a kennel cannot offer.
When I am walking your dog(s) or looking after them I will take photos and update you every couple of weeks on your dog's progress either by email of on my Facebook site.
I mainly walk in Colerne and Chippenham, I do cover some dogs in Yatton Keynell, Kington St Michael and Castle Combe .

How Much Is a Ton?
January 19, 2022 by Johnny Holland
How much is a ton? Well, first, you have to consider what you're talking about—metric or imperial.
The metric ton, or "tonne," is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,205 pounds. It's the standard unit for measuring most kinds of materials and supplies except for precious metals, petroleum and oxygenated fuels, which are typically measured as tonnes. 1 ton in the US is equal to 910 kilograms or 2,000 pounds.
What's the Difference Between Ton and Tonne?
The ton is a unit of weight that is used in the United States, Canada, and some countries in Europe. It is equal to 2,000 pounds. The tonne is a metric unit of weight that is used universally. It is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,205 pounds. The difference between the two units of weight can be confusing for those who are not familiar with them.
What's Is Hundredweight?
A hundredweight is a unit of weight. It is equal to 112 pounds or 50 kilograms. Hence, 100 pounds equals 1 hundredweight. The British system uses pounds to denote weight, whereas the Americans use pounds to denote mass.
In the US, there are 100 pounds to a hundredweight in the American system. In the British system, there are 112 pounds to a hundredweight.
How to Convert Tons to Pounds and Other Units?
It's not always easy to convert units. For example, converting tons to pounds can be a challenge. The metric system is a decimalized system of measurement where each unit has a value that corresponds with other units of measure in multiples of ten. An equivalent unit for distance would be meters, or yards for length or width.
This means that each unit has a base value and an exponent that changes depending on its position in the hierarchy of the metric system:
The Value of a Ton of Gold
Gold is one of the most valuable metals in the world. It is a precious metal that has been used for centuries. Gold is often used as a way to store value and as an investment.
Gold has been used for centuries, but it's not just a relic of the past. In fact, gold is still widely used today – both in jewelry and as currency.
It's also worth noting that gold can be found all over the world – with some countries having large amounts of it compared to others. Gold is currently valued at £38,000/kg ($50,000/kg). So the value of one ton would be approximately $45,000,000 or £34,580,000.
The Value of a Ton of Saffron
Saffron is the most expensive spice per weight. It has been cultivated for over 3000 years and is still used today in many dishes with its distinctive flavor and color. It's also used as a dye, an ingredient in perfumes, and a medicine. It is valued at approximately $1500 per pound. This means one ton would cost approximately £2,300,000 or $3,000,000.
The Value of a Ton of iPhone
The iPhone 11 Pro Max is a new product from Apple that has a 6.5-inch display and 512GB storage capacity. It costs approximately $1958 or £1,499. Since it weighs just 226 grams or 7.97 ounces, one ton of iPhones would cost approximately $7,832,000.
How Much Is a Ton in Money?
The US dollar bill is the most popular currency in the world. It is so popular that it has been printed by more than 100 countries. Each one-dollar bill weighs approximately 1 gram so one ton would be worth about $908,000. A British pound coin weighs approximately 8.75g and a ton of those would be valued at about £104,000. In slang terms, one ton of money is £100.
How Much Is an Actual Ton?
The first step to answering this question is understanding what the term means. The term "ton" can be used in many different contexts, so it's important to understand what it means in relation to weight and volume.
The most common definition of a ton is 2,000 pounds (or 1 metric ton). So if a person weighs 150 pounds, they have about one-eighth of a ton of weight. This would translate into about 100 cubic feet of volume for that person.
Is a Ton a 1000?
It is a common misconception that a ton is 1000 kilograms. In fact, the weight of a ton depends on the density of the material.
A ton = 2000 lbs (907 kg)
Tons are used to measure weight in tons, not volume. A metric ton is 1,000 kg and a U.S. ton is 2000 pounds (907 kg).
Why Is 100 Called a Ton?
A ton is a unit of weight, and it is often used to measure large amounts of goods. In the United States, the term "ton" is used as a non-metric unit of weight.
The word "ton" comes from the Old English word "tun" which means "a great or heavy load." The ton was originally used to weigh coal in England before it became a unit of mass. It wasn't until 1857 that it was defined as 2205 pounds.
What Animal Weighs About a Ton?
A ton is a unit of weight in the metric system. It is equivalent to 2240 pounds or 1000 kilograms. In order to determine what animal weighs about a ton, you would need to know its weight and its height.
The answer to this question is the blue whale. The blue whale weighs about 200 tons and can grow up to 100 feet long. The blue whale is the largest mammal on Earth by weight. It is also the largest creature by length. The smallest animals are mice and shrews.
A ton is the weight of a metric ton of pure water. It has been used as a unit of measure for the volume, mass, and density of materials. A ton has been used as a unit of measure for the volume, mass, and density of materials since 1873.
The first use was in France where it was defined as 100 cubic feet. In 1884, it became the standard unit in France and Belgium. In 1889, it became an international standard when it was adopted by the United States Congress. The term "ton" comes from the Old English word "tun," which means "a large cask or tun."

Àgata és un personatge literari, protagonista de l'obra La filla del mar d'Àngel Guimerà, estrenada en castellà el 12 de setembre de 1899 al Teatro Odeón de Buenos Aires, i en català el 6 d'abril de 1900 al Teatre Romea de Barcelona. És un dels personatges més aclamats de l'autor  i sol considerar-se com una les millors personificacions guimeranianes del mestissatge.

La primera actriu a representar-la fou Maria Guerrero, responsable de l'estrena a Buenos Aires amb la seva companyia de teatre. En català, la primera actriu a representar-la fou Adelina Sala. Altres encarnacions destacades del personatge són les protagonitzades per actrius com Margarida Xirgu (en la versió cinematogràfica dirigida per Adrià Gual de 1917), Montserrat Carulla (en la versió escènica de Ricard Salvat el 1971), Anna Güell (dirigida per Sergi Belbel el 1992) i Elena Fortuny (dirigida per Josep Maria Mestres el 2002).

Descripció
Àgata és una noia jove que fou adoptada per uns pescadors que la van rescatar d'un naufragi quan era petita. Suposadament és d'origen magribí, malgrat que a l'obra no s'acaba d'especificar. El fet de la seva adopció i l'origen incert fan que sigui repudiada i menystinguda per la gent del poble, que la consideren una no ningú. Criada com un mariner, és forta, valenta, vital, rabiüda, indomable, i sol ser vista com «un homenot». Com la majoria d'herois guimeranians és víctima d'una passió amorosa irrefrenable que la conduirà a la destrucció, i encarna el prototip d'ésser «diferent» que el seu entorn és incapaç d'entendre, acceptar i assimilar. Àgata és un clar paradigma dels personatges purs i innocents de Guimerà que a vegades poden semblar ximples als ulls dels espectadors a causa de la seva puresa. El seu nom de pedra preciosa (Àgata, del grec agatos, «el bo»)  ja anticipa aquesta puresa que serà menysvalorada per tothom. L'únic personatge que no la rebutjarà des de bon principi serà el vell Baltasanet.

L'antagonista d'Àgata és Mariona, la seva germanastra i filla legítima dels pescadors que la van rescatar. Mariona representa allò impur, en contrast amb la bondat pura d'Àgata. Mariona, que té una relació amb Pere Màrtir que els seus parents no consenten, ordirà un pla perquè el noi enamori Àgata i s'hi casi per tenir, així, una tapadora per continuar amb la seva relació amorosa. Pere Màrtir, un indià seductor d'escassa fortuna, accepta, però a mesura que coneix la bondat d'Àgata se n'enamora realment i es desencadena el drama. Ambdues noies, víctimes de la gelosia, s'enfrontaran i finalment Àgata, arran d'un malentès, matarà Pere Màrtir abans de suïcidar-se llançant-se al mar pel qual se sent atreta des de ben petita.

Curiositats
En aquesta obra, com en altres creacions seves, Guimerà denuncia el racisme que pateix Àgata a causa dels seus orígens i es posiciona a favor dels fills il·legítims o bords, com s'anomenaven a l'època.

La figura d'Àgata, atreta constantment pel cant del mar, rememora certs personatges mitològics aquàtics, com les nimfes, les nereides o les sirenes i recrea la llegenda del suïcidi de Safo que va morir llençant-se al mar des d'un penya-segat.

A La filla de la mar s'inverteixen els rols típics de la majoria d'obres d'Àngel Guimerà, els personatges protagonistes enfrontats són dues dones i l'objecte del desig és un home.

(Natural News) The next time you want to "say it with flowers," you may want to think twice. While bouquets are considered a heartfelt symbol of love and affection all around the world, new research revealed that they could be more harmful than they appear. A recent study published in NeuroToxicology found that cut flowers used in bouquets, particularly those grown in Ecuador, are sprayed with dangerous pesticides that can be linked to neurological problems in children, ScienceDaily.com reported.

"Control Strategies in Morphogenesis"
Abstract: Organisms not only create form, they control it: pre-specified shapes, sizes, and proportions are reliably obtained even in the face of considerable noise and uncertainty. In engineering, the only strategy that can compensate for truly unpredictable disturbances is feedback control. In fact, feedback abounds in biological systems, a situation that makes the attribution of any particular feedback architecture to a specific feat of control all the more challenging. I will discuss how the integration of modeling with experimentation has shed light on our understanding of the control of both size and pattern in biology.
Bio: Arthur Lander received his B.S. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale in 1979, followed by an M.D. and Ph.D. (in neuroscience) from UC San Francisco in 1985. After postdoctoral research at Columbia University, he joined the faculty at MIT in 1987. Since 1995, he has been at UC Irvine, where he is currently the Donald Bren Professor of Developmental & Cell Biology, and holds joint appointments in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Logic & Philosophy of Science. Dr. Lander directs the UCI Center for Complex Biological Systems, designated a National Center for Systems Biology by the NIH, which he founded to foster interdisciplinary research, training, and outreach at the interface between biology and the physical, computational, and engineering sciences. He also co-directs UCI's Cancer Systems Biology Center, and is an Associate Director of the NSF-Simons Center for Multi-scale Cell Fate Research.
Dr. Lander is interested in how cells and developing tissues achieve control objectives, such as precision, robustness, efficiency and speed, especially in the context of long-standing biological problems in pattern formation, growth regulation and regeneration. His group uses a variety of traditional biology approaches: model organisms (mice, flies, fish), genetic manipulation, and genomics. But because control problems are inherently systems-level–i.e. they deal with the behavior of an entire system in its environment–the lab exploits the tools of Systems Biology, including mathematical modeling, computation, large-scale data collection, and high-resolution live cell imaging. Such work is facilitated by extensive collaborations with mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and engineers.
Dagmar Iber, Ph.D. | ETH Zurich
"From Networks to Function - Computational Models of Organogenesis"
Abstract: One of the major challenges in biology concerns the integration of data across length and time scales into a consistent framework: how do macroscopic properties and functionalities arise from the molecular regulatory networks and how do they evolve? Morphogenesis provides an excellent model system to study how simple molecular networks robustly control complex pattern forming processes. In my talk, I will focus on lung and kidney branching morphogenesis and discuss how chemical signaling and mechanical constraints shape the developing organs.
Bio: Dagmar Iber studied mathematics and biochemistry in Regensburg, Cambridge, and Oxford. She holds Master degrees and PhDs in both disciplines. After three years as a Junior Research Fellow in St John's College, Oxford, Dagmar became a lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Imperial College London. Dagmar has joined ETH Zurich in 2008 after returning from an investment bank where she worked as an oil option trader for one year. Dagmar Iber's group develops data-based, predictive models to understand the spatio-temporal dynamics of signaling networks. Close collaborations with experimental laboratories permit a cycle of model testing and improving. Her recent work focuses on mouse organogenesis (limb and brain development, lung and kidney branching morphogenesis) and simpler patterning systems to address more fundamental questions regarding the control of organ growth and the robustness of signalling mechanisms to evolutionary change.
Elliot Meyerowitz, Ph.D. | California Institute of Technology
"Mechanical Signaling and Response in Plant Morphogenesis"
Abstract: Dr. Meyerowitz's research and that of others shows that a major component of pattern formation in the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis plants (the stem cell population that contributes the above-ground parts of the plant) results from mechanical interactions between cells, and from mechanical response in the stem cell population as a whole. Several different modes of mechanical interaction, and progress toward finding the detailed mechanisms of response, will be discussed.
Bio: Elliot Meyerowitz is the George Beadle Professor of Biology, and a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator at the California Institute of Technology, where he has been on the faculty since 1980. Prior to joining the Caltech faculty he obtained an undergraduate degree in Biology from Columbia University, and graduate degrees in Biology from Yale University, following which he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
From 2000 to 2010 he was Chair of the Caltech Division of Biology. In 2011 and 2012, while on leave from Caltech, he served as the Inaugural Director of the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. The Meyerowitz laboratory studies the development of Arabidopsis thaliana, a widely used plant model system that his laboratory (and others) popularized beginning in the early 1980s. Current studies concentrate on the interrelated roles of mechanical and chemical signaling in plant morphogenesis.
Among Meyerowitz's honors are the Genetics Society of America Medal (1996); the International Prize for Biology of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (1997); the Lounsbery Award of the National Academy of Sciences (1999); the R.G. Harrison Prize of the International Society of Developmental Biologists (2005); the Balzan Prize (2006); the Dawson Prize for Genetics from the University of Dublin (2013) and the Gruber Genetics Prize (2018). Meyerowitz is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, is a foreign associate of the Académie des Sciences of France, and a foreign member of the Royal Society.
Jennifer Zallen, Ph.D. | Sloan Kettering Institute
"Signals, Forces, and Cells: Decoding Tissue Morphogenesis"
Abstract: A major challenge in developmental biology is to understand how large-scale tissue structure arises from events that occur on a cellular and molecular level. A major morphogenetic event in embryonic development is the elongation of the head-to-tail body axis, a process that requires rapid and coordinated movements of hundreds of cells. In Drosophila, we discovered that these highly organized cell movements are driven by a collective rosette mechanism that represents a conserved strategy for tissue elongation in flies, chicks, frogs, and mice. In addition, we discovered that these cell behaviors are systematically oriented by a global positional code involving an ancient family of receptors that are widely used for pathogen recognition by the innate immune system. These findings elucidate general principles that link molecular signals to the physical forces and collective cell behaviors that establish tissue structure.
Bio: Jennifer Zallen received a B.A. from Harvard and a Ph.D. from the University of California, San Francisco with Dr. Cori Bargmann. She did postdoctoral research with Dr. Eric Wieschaus at Princeton and joined the faculty at Sloan Kettering Institute in 2005. Her lab uses multidisciplinary approaches from cell and developmental biology, physics, engineering, and computer science to study how tissue architecture is dynamically established and remodeled throughout development. Dr. Zallen has received a Damon Runyon Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award in the Biomedical Sciences, a March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Award, a Searle Scholars Award, and a W. M. Keck Foundation Distinguished Young Scholar Award. She was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Early Career Scientist from 2009 to 2015. She is currently a Member of the Sloan Kettering Institute and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Michael Levin, Ph.D. | Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University
"Endogenous Bioelectric Networks and the Control of Growth, Form, and Function"
Abstract: Living bodies often exhibit remarkable plasticity of form and function, including the ability to reach invariant anatomical outcomes from diverse starting conditions. This process requires numerous decisions by cells and tissues. In this talk, I will describe our efforts to understand how electrical networks of cells (including both neural and non-neural components) underlie the computations that enable dynamic plasticity of regeneration and embryogenesis. New computational and molecular tools are enabling improved control over bioelectric signaling, leading to proof-of-principle applications in regenerative medicine and the creation of synthetic living machines.
Bio: Prior to college, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior, he got dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology. He received a PhD from Harvard University for the first characterization of the molecular-genetic mechanisms that allow embryos to form consistently left-right asymmetric body structures in a universe that does not macroscopically distinguish left from right (1992-1996); this work is on Nature's list of 100 Milestones of Developmental biology of the Century. He then did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School (1996-2000), where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory (2000-2007 at Forsyth Institute, Harvard; 2008-present at Tufts University) develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to understand information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression. He holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Recent honors include the Scientist of Vision award and the Distinguished Scholar Award. His group's specific focus is on endogenous biophysical mechanisms that implement decision-making during pattern regulation, and harnessing voltage gradients that serve as prepatterns for anatomical polarity, organ identity, gene expression, and epigenetic modification. The lab's current main directions are: 1) understanding how somatic cells form bioelectrical networks for processing pattern memories and guiding morphogenesis, 2) creating next-generation AI tools for helping scientists understand top-down control of pattern regulation (a new bioinformatics of shape), and 3) using these insights to discover new capabilities in regenerative medicine and engineering.
Will Ratcliff, Ph.D. | Georgia Institute of Technology
"The Biophysics of Nascent Multicellularity: How Structural Constraints Provide Evolutionary Opportunity"
Abstract: The origin of multicellularity was one of the most significant innovations in the history of life. Our understanding of the evolutionary processes underlying this transition remains limited, however, mainly because extant multicellular lineages are ancient and most transitional forms have been lost to extinction. We bridge this knowledge gap by evolving novel multicellularity in vivo. Over 5,000 generations of in-lab evolution, our multicelluar snowflake yeast evolve bodies that are 10,000 times tougher by solving fundamental developmental challenges. In this talk, I'll focus on the evolution of new multicellular-scale biophysics, and how biophysical adaptation likely played a key role in this major evolutionary transition.
Bio: Will Ratcliff is an assistant professor at Georgia Tech working on the origin of multicellularity, microbial social evolution, and bet hedging. His work is funded by the National Science Foundation, the Packard Foundation, NASA, and the Simons Foundation.
James Briscoe, Ph.D. | The Francis Crick Institute
"Building the Spinal Cord"
Abstract: The embryonic development of the vertebrate neural tube is a dynamic process coordinated by intercellular signalling that directs a gene regulatory network to assign cell fate. At the same time tissue growth and differentiation alters the arrangement and number of cells, contributing to the elaboration of pattern. Together these mechanisms determine the pattern, pace, precision and proportion of the forming neural tube. Thus, accurate development of the neural tube and the specification of neuronal subtype identity relies on the interplay of cellular and molecular processes.
Bio: James Briscoe is a senior group leader at the Francis Crick Institute, UK. He obtained a BSc in Microbiology and Virology from the University of Warwick, UK. Following his PhD research in Ian Kerr's laboratory at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London (which became Cancer Research UK and is now part of the Francis Crick Institute), he undertook postdoctoral training at Columbia University, New York, USA, with Thomas Jessell, first as a Human Frontiers Science Program Fellow then as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Fellow. In 2000 he moved to the Medical Research Council's National Institute for Medical Research (now part of the Francis Crick Institute) to establish his own research group and in 2001 he was elected an EMBO Young Investigator. He was awarded the EMBO Gold Medal in 2008 and elected to EMBO in 2009. In 2018 he became Editor-in-Chief of Development, a journal published by the Company of Biologists, a not-for-profit scientific publisher. His research interests include the molecular and cellular mechanisms of graded signalling by morphogens and the role of transcriptional networks in the specification of cell fate. To address these questions his lab uses a range of experimental and computational techniques with model systems that include mouse and chick embryos and embryonic stem cells.
Wallace Marshall, Ph.D. | University of California, San Francisco
"Pattern Formation and Regeneration in a Single Cell"
Abstract: The question of how biological matter organizes itself into patterns applies both to multicellular organisms and to single cells. Dr. Marshall and his team are employing the classical model system Stentor coeruleus as a model system to learn how cells undergo morphogenesis and patterning at a whole-cell scale, taking advantage of Stentor's large size, highly visible patterning, and robust regeneration. They have sequenced the Stentor genome and are using this information to analyze gene expression patterns during regeneration.
Bio: After undergraduate training in Electrical Engineering at SUNY Stony Brook, Wallace Marshall obtained his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at UCSF, followed by postdoctoral research in cell biology at Yale University. He is currently professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at UCSF, where his research focuses on how cells solve engineering problems related to establishment of cellular geometry, including analysis of organelle size control systems, mechanisms for regeneration in single cells, and cellular decision making.
Veronica Grieneisen, Ph.D. | John Innes Centre
"Polarity across scales and across kingdoms"
Abstract: Coming soon.
Bio: Coming soon.
Wendell Lim, Ph.D. | University of California, San Francisco
"Programming the Formation of Synthetic Tissues"
Abstract: Multicellular organisms have evolved cell-cell communication programs that specify the robust self-organization of diverse body-plans and tissues. It is remarkable that genetically encoded programs can so compactly store the information to construct macroscopic tissues and organisms. Although we have identified many common themes seen in diverse developmental programs, many fundamental questions remain unclear. What are the minimal components required for multi-cellular self-organization, and how might metazoan multi-cellularity have arisen? Can we understand the language of self-organization sufficiently to be able to genetically program the formation of new types of tissues, or to drive developmental programs in response to novel inputs and niches (i.e. for regenerative medicine etc.)? Dr. Lim and his team have been developing a set of orthogonalized molecular parts that facilitate the construct defined, user-designed cell-cell interaction networks. Using these components (including orthogonal juxtacrine signals, paracrine signals, and adhesion/assembly systems) they have begun exploring how to program the formation of simple synthetic tissues from the bottom-up, as well as to modulate and control natural developmental programs..
Bio: Wendell Lim is the Byers Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California San Francisco, and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He received his A.B. in Chemistry, summa cum laude, from Harvard College, his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and completed his postdoctoral training at Yale University. His research focuses on the design principles of molecular circuits that govern cell decision-making and responses. His lab has made contributions in understanding the molecular machinery of cell signaling and how molecular modules have been used in evolution to build novel new behaviors. Most recently he has been a pioneer in the emerging field of synthetic biology, exploring how these design principles can be harnessed to engineer cells with customized therapeutic response programs. He is an author of the textbook, Cell Signaling (Garland Science 2014) and was the founder of the cell therapy biotech startup, Cell Design Labs, which was acquired by Gilead Biosciences in 2017.
Arthur Prindle, Ph.D. | Northwestern University
"Emergent Metabolic Dynamics in Microbial Communities"
Abstract: The cell is the unit of life, yet cells usually exist in the context of many others within a community. In this talk, Dr. Prindle will describe recent efforts to understand collective functions in bacterial biofilm communities. In particular, how a conflict between protection and starvation is resolved through emergence of long-range metabolic interactions between peripheral and interior cells. Unexpectedly, this metabolic coordination is facilitated by ion channel-mediated electrochemical signals. These findings serve to establish a prokaryotic paradigm for electrical signaling and hint at the extent to which unicellular bacteria are capable of behaving as a proto-multicellular organism.
Bio: Arthur received a BS in Chemical Engineering from Caltech and a PhD in Bioengineering from UCSD. As a Simons-Helen Hay Whitney Fellow in the Süel Laboratory at UCSD, he developed new approaches to decipher collective mechanisms underlying bacterial biofilm organization. In particular, how a conflict between cooperation and competition is resolved through collective metabolic oscillations that increase nutrient availability for sheltered interior cells. Arthur found that these oscillations are coordinated by ion channel-mediated electrochemical signals, revealing an unexpected functional similarity between ion channels in neurons and those in microbes. These findings serve to establish a prokaryotic paradigm for electrical signaling and hint at the extent to which unicellular bacteria are capable of behaving as a proto-multicellular organism. Arthur is currently an Assistant Professor at Northwestern University in the Center for Synthetic Biology and holds a CASI award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, a Young Investigator award from the Army Research Office, and a Packard Foundation Fellowship.
Jessica Whited, Ph.D. | Harvard University
"Themes Underlying Pattern Formation in Regeneration Using Amphibian Limb"
Abstract: Many amphibians can regenerate limbs during some, or all, of their lives. These limbs are composed of tissues similar to those found in humans, hence understanding limb regeneration in these species could inform regenerative medicine approaches. The profound limb regenerative abilities of salamanders will be discussed with special emphasis on how these creatures cue the precise replacement of a complex appendage with perfect morphology. Both phenomenological and mechanistic insights will be presented, along with outstanding questions that await future experimentation.
Bio: Jessica L. Whited, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at Harvard University in the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology. The Whited Lab is focused on understanding the mechanisms enabling extreme regeneration in axolotl salamanders using a variety of molecular and genetic techniques. Jessica holds a BS in Biological Sciences and a BA in Philosophy from the University of Missouri. She earned a PhD in Biology at MIT studying the development of the nervous system in Drosophila in the lab of Dr. Paul Garrity. As a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School in Dr. Clifford Tabin's lab, Jessica established several key experimental tools in axolotl before beginning her independent laboratory at Brigham & Women's Hospital. Jessica is the recipient of the NIH New Innovator Award, the Smith Family Foundation Excellence in Biomedical Research Award, and the March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Award.
