'Angels Don´t Kill' es una canción de la banda finlandesa de death metal melódico Children of Bodom . Es la quinta pista del álbum Hate Crew Deathroll, siendo el centro del mismo. Es una canción de tempo relativamente lento, además de ser la más extensa, con riffs propios de baladas, pero que no puede llegar a considerarse como tal. Es favorita de la banda para conciertos. Empieza con una frase de la película American Psycho: "I want no one to escape." (No quiero que nadie escape).

Czojor's family members questioned, some take polygraph, but no arrests ever made
Frontier begins new Delaware flights
Nichole Dobo
Visiting home got a little bit easier on Monday for Anastasia Niedzielski.
The University of Michigan medical school student flew directly into Delaware. It was a trip that used to require her parents to pick her up from the Baltimore airport.
Monday was the first day of service to and from Detroit and Atlanta out of the New Castle Airport for Frontier, the single commercial airline operating out of Delaware.
When Frontier Airlines began offering flights from Detroit, Niedzielski said, she was eager to give it a try.
"It's just way more convenient to fly into my hometown," she said in the terminal.
The additional destinations were announced late last year by the low-cost airline, along with special pricing that brought the ticket price down to about the cost of a tank of gas in a car.
"It's one more confirmation of the Frontier business model," said Stephen D. Williams, director of airports for the facility, which is operated by the Delaware River & Bay Authority.
The entry of Frontier into Delaware in July brought the return of commercial air service after a five-year absence from the state.
For the six months Frontier was operational in 2013, more than 51,300 passengers passed through the airport, according to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The number of flights each month ranged from 62 to 49, according to the bureau.
Much of the marketing has been aimed at convincing travelers that a flight from New Castle is easier and cheaper than one out of nearby Philadelphia or Baltimore. The airport in Delaware offers free parking, speedy security screenings and a shorter drive.
The extended service comes a day after the airline announced changes to its fare structure. Those who opt for economy tickets will now be given a slate of choices – and charges – for carry-on and checked luggage.
Many of the airport's passengers are traveling for leisure, Williams said, but there are some business people who come through because they are looking to save money. Before the opening of the Delaware airport, there was "100 percent leakage" of those customers into neighboring states. Now, Frontier is capturing some of it, he said.
On Monday, the addition of two cities brought a celebratory atmosphere to the cozy foyer of the New Castle Airport. There were free soft pretzels in the shape of airplanes, and the hall was festooned with balloons.
On Monday, the Atlanta flights proved to be the most popular. They sold out all 168 seats on the plane, Williams said. He said he did not have information on the Detroit flights.
Kapil Elandovam, of Wilmington, was among the crowd arriving on a flight from Detroit around noon. He was returning from visiting his family, he said. It was his first time flying into the New Castle Airport, and he was impressed by the price and convenience, he said.
"I figured I would give it a try," Elandovam said.
He said he was on his way home with enough time to get into the office, and back to work, by 1 p.m.

A very loose adaptation of Symphony, now in two versions: Default & Round Buttons.
The previously packaged metacity has been modified further and moved to its own page. Links to that and other appropriate themes are provided below.
Requires SVN version of murrine.
* GTK+ was based on the proposed Ubuntu Human-Murrine Dark (from the official package).
* Colors were based on Symphony.
+ Added a version with round buttons. It's a little glitchy, but it mostly works.
+ Final version, unless a bug is discovered.
+ Changed the menus back to original version. The bug in 0.2 is more pervasive than I thought. Sorry folks.
+ Small change in the progress bars.
+ Returned button icons to 22x22, the GNOME default. The option to revert to 16x16 is in the gtkrc.
+ Changed the menus -- opens a bug in openoffice.
+ Fixed menu separator height problem (using clearlooks).
+ Normalised some colour inconsistencies.
Hi, i really like your theme, i'm using it right now. I have a question for you, is it possible to put stripes in the menubar? i tried editing the file, changing the value for menubarstyle to 3, but it doesn't work.
Yes, it's possible. Apart from changing menubarstyle, you also need to comment line 43: "GtkMenuBar :: Shadow-type = GTK_SHADOW_NONE"
Please consider adding an Ubuntu package for Murrina. I'm on Hardy and I've tried compiling the SVN version of Murrina but it gives me errors. Your theme looks great and I really want to try it.
Yes would be nice to have that. Want also to take a look at new engine features!
Cimi, the creator of Murrine, has stated that he doesn't want any .debs floating around before a stable release.
That said, I think there are .debs around.
Actually, I started to work on this theme after using the new MS office on someone else's PC. I liked the soft blue background but the rest is too glossy for my taste.
Words can't express how impressed I am with these new features. More new themes based on this, more I say!
I only just now pieced together that you're the original author of Symphony and Soffice.


About the time I first moved to Baja many years ago, an old Baja fishermen who had already spent more than two decades wandering up-and-down the peninsula made an observation that I will never forget.
Back in those days, I tended to listen to anyone who seemed to have a handle on how to improve my fishing skills.
He told me that all fishing can be narrowed down to two types of fishing.
That's where you go out and bang it up. You lock and load. You catch a lot of fish. You go all out. You make yourself feel good catching the most fish…or the best fish…or a fish bigger than your buddy. Every cast is a hit. Every hit is a fight. Every fight is a conquest Kodak moment.
You make yourself feel pretty good about yourself.
You're the "hunter-gatherer" of all hunter-gatherers. Inside, you're thumping your chest and letting out your best Tarzan yell inside. You're high-fiving yourself all over the place.
Nothing wrong with that. Especially, if it's done in fun and good sport.
The old-timer explained to me that "homework fishing" is often what made ego fishing ultimately more fun. Like the name, homework fishing meant doing the background work that helped you get ahead. It meant leaving my comfort zone of what I knew and trying to do something different with the intent of improving skill set.
He told me that fishing in Baja was the best place to do it. He explained that the rich Baja waters gave folks the opportunity to learn new things. You could make mistakes and learn from them. If something didn't work, the ocean often gave you more chances to hone your skillset.
Basically, if you "farmed" (lost) a fish, you often had many more opportunities to give it another shot. Therefore, you could see what worked and didn't work.
So, he went on to tell me that it's good to put the ego aside, even when everyone else is catching fish to try a new lure. Try that new knot you had been working on. Practice your casting. Try different trolling patterns or colors. Practice different ways to make a bait presentation or retrieving a lure.
I never forgot that and it has served me well.
But, many years down the road, I think there's a 3rd type of fishing. I simply call it "Passing the Torch" fishing. It's where you pass on whatever you know and help someone else with their fishing.
You don't need to be a pro. It's just involves imparting whatever you know to someone who doesn't know.
It could be as simple as showing an 8-year-old how to pin a bait on a hook. It could be showing another guy how to tie a knot he or she didn't know. Or as easy as sharing a story.
I guarantee that you'll also learn something yourself.
As I write this, we're here in Denver at the moment at the International Sportsman's Expo. We've had a booth here now for 16 years. It's the first of more than a dozen fishing/ hunting shows that we'll do over the next three months.
This particular show has almost 600 outfitters and vendors from around the world. Hunting lodges and guide services from South Africa to Argentina. Fishing operations from the Bering Sea to the the Indian Ocean. And, of course a few of us from Baja, Mexico as well. There's gear and guns, equipment and tackle, boats and RV's. It's quite a show.
One of the most gratifying things is to see so many parents bringing their kids to these shows. Or guys who bring their buddies. I love seeing their eyes go wide as they walk the aisles and talk to real-life geography lessons.
It's show-and-tell on a grand scale.
I had one gentleman this evening come to our booth. He wasn't particularly looking to book a fishing trip. But… He had never seen the ocean…except in photos. It's hard to wrap my brain around that one. He had NEVER seen the ocean!
He had never caught a fish larger than a bluegill. We got him excited about white sand and big fish. We talked about tacos, sunrises and fishing in flip-flops and shorts. We told him about turquoise waters that were warm as bathwater. We convinced him to give Baja a try.
He just sent me an e-mail telling me he was so excited he couldn't sleep and how much he had enjoyed the chat. He had already spent several hours looking at fishing websites and youtube videos about fishing in Mexico.
Little bits of knowledge. From one to another. And that's how the word spreads!
Juan Carlos' old pickup had seen better days. Gears strained up the low incline to his home. It was hard to tell what color it used to be. What wasn't covered in dents, scratches and dings, the rust and corrosion had claimed. The dust of Baja owned the rest.
He always said, his truck looked exactly like him. . . a truck owned by a hardworking hand-to-mouth handyman.
He said a silent prayerful "Gracias a Dios" (Thanks, Lord) to himself as it bounced and rattled along up the hill. At least he had a truck. A true luxury where most people still walked, biked or took a bus.
And moreso, it ran. Gratefully, on half-bald mismatched tires and no shocks, it ran. Just like him. Slow and steady. Not built for speed.
From here to there. And back again. Without it, there was no work.
The tires scratched to find purchase on the loose gravel and powdery dust leading to his home in Mar Vista. It was December and it was already getting dark.
In the cracked rearview mirror, pinpoint lights of La Paz were already blinking. The black glass of the bay still mirrored what was left of a pink Baja sunset.
The ricos (rich people) would pay much for a view like his, he smiled to himself.
But, he wasn't one of the ricos. In fact, despite the name of Mar Vista, it was just a notch or two above a shanty town. Above the city. Outside the city. On a set of bare low scrubby hills.
No streetlights or curbs. No running water. Dirt or concrete floors and propane lights. Just houses cobbled together with whatever was available. By people doing the best they could. With whatever they could.
He had spent an exhausting day hauling some big appliance boxes and other cartons from a warehouse, but quit early. The boss said it was OK and paid him cash. He would take the last of the boxes to the dump in the morning.
Tonite was Noche Buena. Christmas Eve. And he was going home to his wife, Celine and his little boy, Armando.
And with his money, he had bought some fresh hot pork tamales and steaming pot of pozole soup. Their savory aroma nearly made his stomach rumble as loud as the truck's ancient transmission.
A small bottle of wine for his Celine and a can of Coke for his Armando lay on the seat next to him. Cradled in a depression on the seat where the springs had given out and the cloth was wearing thin.
No matter. Tonite, life was good. The best that he could do. With whatever he could.
Sadly, he lamented no presents. But as his good Celine often reminded them, God had already given them the best gift of each other. God had surely given him a wonderful wise woman!
Reaching home, he parked; dusted himself off and gingerly reached back in for the food with both hands. He bumped the metal door closed with his back hip and it slammed on its squeaky hinges.
"Espere! Espere! Cuidate, mijo! Wait. Be careful, my son!" said Celine laughingly at the door as she greeted her husband still dragging the happy little boy into the warm room.
No glaring propane light tonite.
With no electricity, candles lit the room. No scrimping for Christmas. Celine had every candle warming their little home seemingly…just for them, thought Juan Carlos.
They all laughed when he told them that people spend lots of money in fancy restaurants to eat by candlelight.
And what a feast, they had. Celine had found some desert flowers in a water glass for the table. On plastic chairs and plastic table cloth and plastic dishes, they ate slowly. Savoring every bite.
Celine told him the masa for the tamales was especially good. The wine was even better. Little Armando burped a big "Coke burp" that made them all laugh.
Enjoying the moment as families do. They held hands at the end with a small prayer to the Baby Jesus. Then to bed with happy tummies.
Mattresses on wooden pallets. One room. Blankets pulled tight against the breezy Baja night. But first a Christmas kiss to everyone and candles blown out to the silent darkness of the night. Somewhere a dog barked. Somewhere the wind carried the faint music of a radio up the hill.
It was Christmas. Juan Carlos and Celine would sleep a little later. Celine touched Juan's cheek tenderly as she snuggled next to him.
As he started to doze he had a thought. Gracias a Dios.
A submarine… No, a time machine… Maybe a fort! Maybe all three. Yes, that's it.
Vamos a ver. We'll see in the morning. He smiled. He could hear Celine's breathing as she slept. Armando turned under his covers.
Juan Carlos' own eyes got heavy as his full tummy. Gracias a Dios. Contentos. Content. Doing the best they could with whatever they could.
That's my story. Feliz Navidad, a todos. Que Dios les bendiga. Merry Christmas everyone. May God bless you.
About this time of year, I get a lot of "Santa" questions. It's either from wives, girlfriends or kids asking what to buy for the guys.
When I worked and managed a tackle store many many years ago, I enjoyed the many ruses that guys used to buy their toys.
Of course, the most common one was simply paying cash so the purchase wasn't traceable to the home budget. They would then boldy "hide" the new gear somewhere in the deepest recesses of the man-cave/garage so it wouldn't be found.
More cleverly, two guys would conspire together.
Some guys would come to us at the tackle store with a "Santa's list" of their own.
Well, the holiday season is upon us again.
Whether you're purchasing for yourself or for someone else, there's a few tips for hopefully scoring the right thing.
Of course, like everything else, a lot can be done online.
If you're looking for stocking stuffers, it's a great place and there's all kinds of deals to be found. If you have no inclination, time or ability to visit an actual tackle store then purchasing online is a no-brainer.
This is where you can find stuff like pliers, dikes, and lures. Stuff for boats and the things that go along with fishing like camping and outdoor things work well. What guy doesn't like electronic fishing gadgets?
Books and videos are also great gifts. If you know proper sizes, it's hard to go wrong. If in doubt, look into a gift certificate. This is especially true for clothing and footwear.
A number of charter operations also sell trips online that make a great gift. Or, give some thought to an actual fishing vacation. To someplace like Baja (hint-hint)!
You can also purchase fishing licenses online. That includes Mexican fishing licenses as well.
But, there's some things that you probably shouldn't purchase online if at all possible. Like a few other things in life.
For one, some items are just a bit too pricey to pick the "right one" to someone in a backroom or warehouse no matter how good they might be. Especially, if it's a gift.
Or, if you're not very knowledgeable about the item to begin with! It helps to talk to a real salesperson.
For another, some things in life just need to be touched and held and examined before you lay down your cash. Things like shoes or jewelry come to mind.
Additionally, no matter what you think, often no two items are the same!
That includes some fishing gear. Unlike say, a TV set…or a set of pots and pans…or a box of chocolates, I bet most folks don't realize that no two fishing reels are alike. Guns can be like that. Guitars are like that. One item has "the feel." Others just don't have it.
I've been in a store and asked them to take out a certain fishing reel. I can try five of the exact same model, especially conventional reels. And no two will be exactly alike. The drags might feel different. One free-spools like a dream. The others might be a bit sticky.
Rods can be that way too. Depending on what the rod is going to be used for, the grips might be different. More important to me is the "taper" and the backbone of a rod. Where does it shut off (bend)? It's something I like to check with my own hands.
Nothing against, Walmart, because there's some good gear there and great folks, but if you can get to a tackle store that really knows their stuff you'll be better off. You might pay a little more, but maybe not. However, you'll get a better handle on making a good purchasing decision.
Even in some of the mega outdoor stores like Bass Pro or Cabelas find that "one guy" that knows his stuff. If you live in some place like Denver or even northern California, the staff might be more on top of salmon or flyfishing. But, I've found there's usually that one guy who can steer you right.
If all else fails…gift certificates or gift cards.
Personally, I better get on my own horse. I haven't even started yet!
It's a treat when visiting Mexico to have your own fresh-caught fish cooked up. But, is that fish ALWAYS a legal fish to be eating?
One of the great rewards of being down here in Baja and doing what we do is turning folks on to new experiences. For many, it could be the first time out've the country…or the first time to Mexico.
For others, maybe it's the first time fishing; going snorkeling; or seeing dolphin. There are so many things that we take for granted. If you're a regular reader of my columns, we don't even think twice about so many of them.
Hard to imagine, isn't it?
They had never seen the ocean! It was like the time a few years ago when my dad told he had "…never seen the orginal Star Wars movie or any Star Wars movies." Everyone has seen the ocean. Everyone has seen Star Wars! Haven't they?
Wrap your brain around that for a moment. Think what it might have felt like climbing into a relatively little fishing panga at sunrise to go fishing and all the things that might be going through their minds.
Probably like Columbus headed west across the ocean with a lot of faith that he'd be coming back.
The questions the family asked me started making sense.
Happily, they put on brave faces and stout hearts and went out about 200 yards and came back with big smiles and lots of fish and stories to tell to the folks back in the Midwest.
One of the other great experiences…a treat for us Baja rats, but eye-opening to newbies is having your fresh caught fish cooked up for you.
Having our own restaurant puts us at ground zero when it comes to visitors eating fresh fish and especially their own catch.
Real? Fresh? Fish? Folks are blown away to find out that fish that has never been frozen, canned, shipped, transporated or processed can taste so much better when prepared and eaten straight away.
Whether it's plated up as tacos, grilled, broiled, fried…or whatever…then served up Baja style with fresh tortillas, frijoles ,rice, some home-made salsas or sauces…Well, fewer things are better and surely a highlight of your Baja visit.
But, there's a few things you should know about restaurant fish in Baja.
Almost any restaurant will be happy to cook up your fish. Speaking from experience, it's a lot easier if YOU have already cleaned it.
Having you show up with 5 big pargo or 3 tuna straight out've your ice chest that still need to be cleaned is gonna take awhile. The restaurant might not be equipped to actually clean and dress out a fish for you. They might not know how!
Also, if the restaurant is in a rush and busy, it's hard to pull one of the kitchen staff off his station and have him clear a spot just to clean fish. Many restaurants don't have a "fish cleaning" station per se.
But, that aside, by all means, bring in your fish. Any and all fish are welcome!
What many folks don't know is that there are some fish that are prohibited from being on a restaurant menu here in Baja. Two of the most common fish that come to mind are dorado (Mahi-mahi) and roosterfish. Also, totuava.
All 3 of those species are prohibited from commercial fishing. So, by law, a restaurant can certainly prepare YOUR fish that YOU caught and brought (Totuava is completely endangered and prohibited). However, that restaurant cannot legally purchase species like roosterfish or dorado and sell them to you or anyone from on our menu.
Restaurants are only allowed to sell "commercially" legal fish. To date, roosterfish and dorado are solely for "sportfishing" purposes. That means YOU with your hook and line . Roosterfish and dorado are prohibited from commercial harvesting.
Likewise, the restaurant can cook YOUR dorado or roosterfish, but it cannot legally purchase that fish from you (because it was sport caught) or from a commercial business. So, chances are, if you see roosterfish, dorado or totuava on a Mexican menu, it probably shouldn't be there.
For one, there's certainly the ecological impact commercial fishing would have on these species. Commerical and sportfishing pretty much wiped-out the tasty totuava population years ago.
The Mexican government…so far…has recognized that roosterfish and dorado are extremely important to the tourism/fishing industry and are a valuable resource. Translated, that means, they are worth a lot of tourist dollars. They don't want it going the way of totuava.
There's also the health issues.
From the perspective of a restaurant, purchasing fish from a non-regulated source like from a fisherman or from illegal harvesting could pose a health fish. Simply, in the chain-of-handling, there's no way to know that the fish is safe to eat.
There's no assurances (as far as that goes) to quality-control and inspection. Was it taken legally and correctly harvested and within the size and weight limited specified by law? No way to be certain.
Eat fish. Eat YOUR fish. Eat fresh fish on the menu too. However, it doesn't hurt to ask what kind of fish you're eating or raise an eyebrow if you see something wrong on the menu.
I was only going to be in Baja for a year. Has it been almost twenty?
The longer I am here the more Christmas seems to change a bit. The early years were surely different.
I was living out in the "country" then. Well…10 miles down a dusty dirt road far off the pavement in the cactus and Baja scrub in a little remote Mexican bay. Far away from the city lights, I worked for a little off-the-grid hotel that only had 4 rooms.
And that's all there was out there. Today, you still have to drive down a dirt road to get there and the hotel is closed and being re-claimed by the Baja sands. As so many Mexican dreams go.
I had very little then, but I often felt like I was king of the world at times. I was only half-a-step from living out've my old Dodge van at the time with fishing rods and an old one-room adobe. "Living the dream," as many would later tell me!
I spent most nights sleeping outside in a hammock under a weathered palapa made of sticks. Jimmy, my little dog and I lived much by candlelight and a propane stove. No phones. No electricity to speak of.
And I remember it was Christmas. In the Baja. In Mexico. So far from Christmases remembered.
I remember the brisk wind and the clear starry skies overhead where clusters of the galaxies were so thick as to appear as if a huge black canvas had been lightly airbrushed with white. With no city lights, shooters streaked criss-crossing tracers from horizon to horizon.
I wore the same faded shorts and some awfully thin flipflops that had long since lost their tread. I'm sure I smelled like fish most days which is how I earned my living for the hotel taking their few clients fishing and diving.
No one ever complained about how I looked or smelled. I was part of the landscape in my ratty straw hat and cut-off t-shirts.
Mesquite was abundant so it was often just as easy to cook over a jumbled stone firepit I had made outside my little casita on the bare ground. It wasn't much more than a rocky rise of hardscrabble Baja dirt. But…during the day, the little spot had a zillion dollar view of the beach and bay that would make a realtor drool.
But not tonite. A moonless crispy December night in Baja. I could hear the waves of the bay lightly crashing against the sands down the beach somewhere in the darkness below. With barely more than the stars above, the orange glow of my little fire fought a losing battle to penetrate the darkness.
But all is calm. My fire bright. Noche Buena. Christmas eve.
I pulled my thin flannel shirt a little tighter against the chill. Me and and Jimmy the dog. I tossed another branch of twisted mesquite into the flame.
I had come a long way from American cities and holidays past. Never in my wildest dreams would I have envisioned spending Christmas like this. Life takes funny turns. There's a thin debateable line between an idiot and genius.
No tree. No carols. But, I had nature's own magnificent light show overhead and the dancing flames of a mesmerizing campfire to hold gaze into.
Completely alone but not the least bit lonely. On Christmas. And it felt like it just couldn't get any better.
And then, just outside the ring of flickering firelight, a shuffle of feet. A bit of laughter. Faces and smiles materializing on the other side of the orange haze of whispy smoke. The spectral ghosts of a Dicken's Christmas?
Some of the commercial fishermen and their wives had trudged up the rise from the beach. Several packs of beer in hand and tattered beach chairs. Uninvitedly always welcome. Saw my fire. Come to join. Come to laugh. Share the warmth of a chilly evening.
My Spanish was barely elementary back then. But, some things are universal. Bridges are easily crossed with smiles, high-fives, back slaps and shared fraternal cervezas. Especially on Christmas Eve.
They already had an obvious head start on me. No formalities needed. They plopped down around the fire and it was on. No need to break the ice. I toasted and laughed and did my best to sing.
In any language…"Noche Buena" is still "Silent Night." I had no clue about some of the other rowdy rancho songs they sang.
We whooped at the top of our lungs and lifted Tecate cans to health and family, love, life and the star-filled night. Or nothing in particular.
You know that saying about "Dance like no one is watching and sing like no one can hear?" There's a special child-like exhilaration attached to that.
Of all things, they started singing "Jingle Bells" in Spanish. I doubt my amigos even had a concept of a sleigh or reindeer or even snow. Ni modo…no matter! One more time with feeling from the top!
Then they asked me to teach them the song in English. Por favor!
EN WUN WHORE'S O-PEN SLAY!
And we laughed and snorted and guffawed and stomped our dusty feet. I stared into that campfire and thought of perhaps another chilly night in the desert many eons ago. That brought others to a spot in the desert.
Some wise guys and sheep ranchers. Amigos of different languages and cultures. Pulled in by the flame and warmth of a beckoning light.
And here we were… A bit of light in the darkness on a windswept beach knoll in Mexico. Sometimes it's as simple as that. As primal as that. Some friends. A few beers. Laughs and smiles. A song and and a welcoming campfire in the dark. Christmas Eve and all was right.
EN WUN WHORE'S O-PEN SLAY ODOR FEELS WEE GO LOFFING OLE DUH WAY…indeed!
Only in Mexico! Andale and Feliz Navidad, mis amigos! God bless us everyone. Peace to you my fish brothers and sisters.
Somewhere even the angels were singing along. Once more with feeling.

The mammalian ıt O}-GlcNAc hydrolysing enzyme {ıt O}-GlcNAcase (OGA) is a multi-domain protein with glycoside hydrolase activity in the N-terminus and with a C-terminal domain that has low sequence similarity to known acetyltransferases, prompting speculation, albeit controversial, that the C-terminal domain may function as a histone acetyltransferase (HAT). There are currently scarce data available regarding the structure and function of this C-terminal region. Here, a bacterial homologue of the human OGA C-terminal domain, an acetyltransferase protein (accession No. ZP_05014886) from {ıt Streptomyces sviceus (SsAT), was cloned and its crystal structure was solved to high resolution. The structure reveals a conserved protein core that has considerable structural homology to the acetyl-CoA (AcCoA) binding site of GCN5-related acetyltransferases (GNATs). Calorimetric data further confirm that SsAT is indeed able to bind AcCoA in solution with micromolar affinity. Detailed structural analysis provided insight into the binding of AcCoA. An acceptor-binding cavity was identified, indicating that the physiological substrate of SsAT may be a small molecule. Consistent with recently published work, the SsAT structure further questions a HAT function for the human OGA domain.

From shattered glass to blank canvas, Missouri communities paint to heal
Arts Dec 5, 2014 3:36 PM EST
On the late November night that a grand jury announced it would not indict the police officer who fatally shot unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Natasha Bahrami watched protesters peacefully take to the streets of St. Louis. Bahrami is a lifelong resident of that city and co-owner of a local restaurant, Cafe Natasha's.
Late in the night, the mood of the protests changed. Bahrami recalls people running and picking up debris to smash windows. She watched from her house across the street as several protesters bashed in nine windows at the cafe, which her parents have owned since opening it in 1983, and where she crawled as a toddler and worked as a teenager.
"People say, 'Wasn't that terrifying?' And I don't think 'terrifying' describes it … it was heartbreaking," she said. "It was more, 'This really didn't have to happen, yet it did.'"
Bahrami described the damage only as a symptom of the anger and frustration many people have felt at recent events.
"I don't blame it on anything. It just happened," she said. "There's some severe hurt and pain going on right now."
Bahrami returned to the restaurant late that night to board up the windows, which looked, in her words, "ridiculously ugly."
She asked a few friends to help her paint the boards, and before the sun came up the next day, artists had begun gathering to help. Within a few days, the project, called Paint for Peace StL, had spread to Ferguson.

Tom Halaska, who owns ArtBar on nearby Cherokee St., helped spread the word to artists. Between Ferguson and St. Louis, the group has painted approximately 100 businesses so far, he said.
Halaska said that he has not seen many conversations between participants about the case itself. "One thing that we have not been doing is talking about the verdict," he said.

Instead, he said artists and community members want to move on with the healing process, and are thankful for an activity that helps that process.
"A lot of the artists came up to me and said, 'Thank you for giving me an outlet,'" he said.
Messages of "love" and "peace" are common on the boards. Photo by Miriam Ross-Hirsch
Bahrami said her conversations with participants have also been focused on gratitude from both sides. "It was a great relief for them to feel that they were part of building us back up," Bahrami said. "I felt the opposite — that they were helping us heal."
St. Louis artist Nelson Perez, who painted on S. Grand Blvd. and in Ferguson, said it was a good opportunity to help the community without participating in a debate over the grand jury verdict. "It was my way of being able to make a stance, support a community and care about people that are suffering without anyone getting mad," he said.
Perez visited Ferguson for the first time to help paint. He described the atmosphere as calm and cheerful. "It was a whole different feel to be there in person vs. what you see when you turn on the TV," he said.

Local families and businesses donated paint for the project. Participation is not limited to local artists — all kinds of community members have joined in, according to Bradley Pipkin, a St. Louis artist who went to help paint Cafe Natasha's the day after it was damaged.
When businesses remove the boards, many will end up at the St. Louis History Museum, and others could be a part of a charity auction for the community, Halaska said.
Bahrami said that while her parents were devastated by the damage to Cafe Natasha's, the community support has helped.
"As soon as they saw the whole community come out the way that they did, they started losing all of that anger."

"The media is definitely turning the cameras toward the destruction and the pain and not focusing on the fact that a lot of us are coming together," Halaska said. Photo by Miriam Ross-Hirsch

Q: ASP.NET Redirect without processing the View When I redirect, it still processes the View which will always error because I haven't set up a Model object.  How can I force the website using
RedirectPermanent("/page",true);

and not have to process the view page?

A: Try to add the return statement before the redirection, like
return RedirectPermanent("/page",true); //resource permanently moved

or
return Redirect(url);

A: You have to return an object of type IActionResult from an action in controller. Now you only invoke RedirectPermanent() function which returns initialized object of type RedirectResult but MVC framework doesn't execute it.

Are you able to imagine the primary episode of Home Improvement hit the small display screen greater than 26 years ago? Tim Allen starred in the Nineteen Nineties sitcom centered round his character, Tim Taylor, a TV show host raising three mischievous sons along with his spouse, Jill (performed by Patricia Richardson), in Detroit. Easily change the brightness and colour of any light fixture to achieve the specified scene. Vacation wreaths on windows are the new conventional look. The evergreen wreath, the straightforward spherical wreath could make a world of difference in your exterior decorations even when added to the home windows. Omygoodness! I am unable to stop laughing. I wish there were a hysterical button on HP. I truly knew a person who had a beer can curtain between 2 rooms. Nice hub for humor and useful too.
Actual stores can even supply these things. It is likely to be a very good thing to make use of these decisions to your current needs since it will make things simpler to test. It is necessary to think about checking and evaluating the whole lot beforehand to make things easier for you and so you could decide correctly. If you do not plan to go anywhere this weekend, why not make the show enjoyable at house? Eg backyard get together.
No matter your alternative, an alcove is a good detail that can complement any décor. Thankfully, there is a workaround resolution. You'll be able to learn to protect your wooden gate by studying how you can deal with the wood properly. There are two methods you can do this. You can preserve the wood by making use of a clear movie of lacquer or varnish, or you'll be able to deal with the wood by applying a protecting layer of paint.
Finally, you would possibly even resolve that a sofa bed is probably the most applicable form of kids's bed, and the sofa is pulled out at evening. Many youngsters desire a spare bed in their room for sleepovers. You can save house by purchasing a sofa mattress that you just kids can sit on, but that may be transformed to a mattress when their greatest good friend stays over. Add lighting to flowerbeds, shrubbery and pathways, plus pop-up sprinklers with totally different spray ranges.
The identical measures can also be put in place for the rear of your property and though this is not on view to everybody you must nonetheless defend your private home against the weather. Shut down the plumbing if any residence improvement initiatives will occur within the lavatory or kitchen. Using shutoff valves is a crucial half in any mission which entails plumbing. Neglecting this activity can present a flood to deal with collectively together with your preliminary plumbing problem.


WASHINGTON — Veterans Affairs officials announced late last week that a full roll out of the White House VA Hotline won't happen for another two months, as officials continue to work through staffing and operations issues.
But the delay isn't the only challenge facing the still-new call center, which has yet to fully resemble the service President Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail last year.
The system is being run by VA employees, not White House staffers, despite Trump's own pledges that the hotline would be a way for veterans to directly voice their complaints to the Oval Office. White House officials have directed all questions on hiring and operations of the hotline to department officials.
In a statement, Shulkin said the move will mean the around-the-clock operators won't be available until early October, but added the delay is worthwhile.
A VA spokesman said in the first seven weeks of the hotline, operators answered 8,249 calls. The majority were complaints about department operations and benefits, not compliments.
Of that group, officials determined that almost half — 3,754 — were "policy comments, feedback or general inquiries" that did not require a response from the administration. Another 3,130 did receive some sort of resolution, and the remaining 1,365 cases were still under review at the start of August.
But the full process for counting a call as "resolved" remains unsettled.
Thomas Fant, a 45-year-old disabled Coast Guard veteran, contacted the hotline in late June with a pair of complaints about a medical appointment issue and an ongoing travel reimbursement dispute. Both times, his complaint was passed on to regional VA staffers.
In the first case, he received assurances that new appointment scheduling training would address his complaints about receiving appointment changes through the mail. In the second, local officials still could not explain why his multi-year fight to correct travel payouts remained in dispute.
When he called the VA hotline back a month later, an operator told him his initial complaint had been marked down as "resolved" despite the lingering reimbursement issue.
"The spirit of the hotline was great, but it seems ill-conceived the way it was rolled out," Fant said. "My impression is it turned out to be another layer of bureaucracy instead of simplifying things.
VA officials are overseeing all hiring and staffing issues related to the line, calling into question whether White House staff has any responsibilities with the hotline. But White House officials have included the creation of the new phone line as one of their key promises kept from the campaign.
White House officials have confirmed that the hotline for now is based out of VA headquarters, and that veterans who call the White House's switchboard with VA questions are transferred directly to the new hotline.
Meanwhile, VA already has multiple other call lines for veterans seeking information, including ones dedicated to benefits questions (800-827-1000), online accounts problems (800-983-0937), burial eligibility (800-535-1117), and health care services (877-222-8387).
Democrats on Capitol Hill have questioned whether the new hotline adds any real value for veterans, or is simply using up staff and funds that would be better spent elsewhere.
So far, operating the new White House/VA hotline has totaled more than $200,000, with a pricetag of about $5,700 a month for recurring access and maintenance costs. VA officials did not say how much hiring and training the new operators will cost, or whether that spending total is expected to rise significantly.

Rick and Morty Season 4 Review
shonaharding	 3 days ago	 Leave a Comment
I enjoy Rick and Morty and have since I first started watching it, but this season just felt too short and like there wasn't much point to it.
Rick and Morty continues with the same old antics happening in many different worlds. Episodes included Rick dying and being cloned in many different universes trying to get back to his correct one while Morty tries to do all he can to make sure the life in which he dies with Jessica happens. One with an alien intern who makes an app with Jerry and plans to steal all of Earth's water. And an episode where Morty gets a dragon and a weird dragon/human orgy takes place.
And these are really the most memorable moments. The issue I had with this season was it didn't draw me in as much as others have. I remember watching a Film Theory episode about the season soon after finishing it and it mentioned a moment I don't even remember happening – that's how much I was dipping in and out of watching it.
With it being 4 episodes as well I did feel that not much really happened. It was enjoyable but felt like there wasn't any point. Previous seasons have had cliffhangers at the end and more story line whereas this one felt like you could watch the episodes in any order as stand alone episodes and it wouldn't ruin anything. This made the finale feel almost anti-climactic.
But, there was one shining moment which did make me feel like the creators had spent time on and really planned out. Where Rick has his own private toilet in a far away world and he finds out someone else has used it. He tracks the man down and finds out he's much like Rick and Rick refuses to kill him for what he has done. This starts a whole story line where in the end the man does die and Rick, who has denied time and time again that he wasn't the man's friend, feels sad. He sits on the toilet and sets off a trap he set for the man which tells him he has no friends and is all alone and it's really poignant. It shows that Rick too is alone and doesn't really have any friends in that moment. It's quite sad really and makes you think of Rick's past and why he acts the way he does.
Juxtaposing this is a moment with a talking cat. The finale episode which as I said didn't feel like a finale. This talking cat doesn't like people asking questions and we find out this is because he has a dark past that Rick and Jerry find revolting. It's so interesting and strange and yes I get why they left it without the audience knowing because the whole point is 'it's better not to ask questions' but I wonder if this does come up again in a future season. If this cat is explained because it is fascinating and people do want to know the point of it.
But, overall, I found this season ok but not my favourite. If I was to re-watch Rick and Morty these episodes would not be ones I am immediately drawn too but I also wouldn't skip them if I was having a binge of the whole show again.
What did you think of season 4?

Although the emphasis is on lambdas, in this book Robert Fischer places them into the wider perspective of Java 8 which revolutionizes Java, adjusting its foundations by shifting from the pure OOP model to incorporate the functional one as well. Lambdas of course lie at the epicenter of that revolution, responsible for the move from a conservative Java to a more succinct, versatile and performant programming paradigm.
This might be uncharted territory for Java, but not so for other languages, such as Perl. The author himself is a veteran Perl programmer who had long ago discovered Perl's functional programming (FP). His book is therefore a testimony to Perl's clairvoyance and innovative thinking that others re-discover many years, even decades, later. And that is the book's aim, to familiarize the Java programmer with this kind of mindset.
It all begins, in Chapter 1: Java 8: It's a Whole New Java, with a classic example and all too common scenario of having to iterate over a collection, and on the way filter its elements based on some condition. In this case we just want to keep the elements that are not null. The example compares the "old", "outdated" and fragmented pre-version 8 Java ways for going about it, to the new way using lambdas. It is just the first breadcrumb of the story, with many more to follow. Putting all of them together reveals the complete picture of what FP is about.
It's not just about lambdas, lambdas are the means towards that end.
Whereas an object-oriented paradigm thinks about objects, and objects have behaviours, functional programming thinks in terms of verbs (functions), which act on nouns (arguments).
Whereas object-oriented programming builds up a mechanism of interacting objects, functional programming builds up a function that is resolved through composite functions.
Whereas the object-oriented subordinates may contain their own state, mathematical functions are stateless: they will always return the same value and have no side effects.
A mathematical function is not so much a behaviour as a statement of eternal truth: "f(2)"does not mean "apply 2 to f", but rather "the value when f's argument is bound to 2". In functional programming, the goal is to have all the functions in the application behave like these mathematical functions. This function may be defined in terms of other functions, but the program is ultimately a single function application, not a series of executive commands.
The theory is illustrated with short code snippets that give an introduction to lambdas' applications, contrasting their newly found capabilities to their OOP counterpart's shortcomings.
In the chapters that follow, nothing is left to the imagination as everything is clearly detailed and analyzed both from conceptual and technical points of view.
Chapter 2: Understanding Lambdas in Java 8, is probably the central pillar of the whole book. It provides the essentials that need to be understood for making sense of the rest of the book. It lays out the syntax and the ways lambdas can simplify and substitute or enhance legacy code.
Now, however, the same can be done by using a lambda in its place.
Chapter 3: Lambda's Domain: Collections, Maps, and Streams, is where we meet, for the first time, a fully fledged code listing and not just disjointed code snippets as been happening so far, since the chapter is dedicated to the real world applications of lambdas. With the introduction to lambdas now out of the way, the conditions are expedient for introducing functional Streams as a better replacement for Collections. Streams' main advantage over Collections is that there is no need for having all the data of the collection upfront, something that frees the runtime in performing optimizations that result in enhanced performance.
Before tackling Streams though, we get a chance of watching lambdas performing on Collections, with a full code listing of a Library that stores a List, List<Book>, and a Map, Map<Book,String>, of books that we somehow need to manipulate. The accompanying discussion revolves around iterators, the deprecation of the for operator and its replacement by the post functional foreach operator.
Another example of manipulating Collections, is that of filtering with the removeif filter that takes a predicate and runs it against each element of the collection, removing all those elements that test true. As the filter acts on all the elements it removes the need to use an iterator, resulting in much cleaner and more descriptive code.
On the same wavelength, we need to apply a transformation and not just a filter when some criteria is true. We do that with utility function applyif that takes a predicate and a function and applies the function only when the predicate is true.
All of the material presented so far was designed to ready you to tackle Streams, now morphed into the functional and boosted counterpart of the imperative iterator.
You can chain any number of intermediate step before the stream reaches terminal at which point the actual processing starts.
That single line of code, generates a stream of the library's books, that are easily mapped onto a stream of genres. It is further explained that map produces output by applying a function to each element of the stream, while filtering occurs when performing a test on each element.
This nicely wraps up the chapter, once more highlighting the advantage of the stream's ability to abstract away the processing domain.

Baron  was a samurai from the Kuwana Domain in the Bakumatsu period Tokugawa shogunate and later a general in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Meiji period.

Biography

Early life
Tatsumi was born in Edo as the third son of a retainer of Kuwana Domain name Machida Dendaiyu. He was later adopted by his uncle, a fellow retainer named Tatsumi Sakujuro Takashi, whose surname he took. He was also known as  in his youth. At age five, the young Tatsumi went to Kuwana with his adoptive father, and at age 8 entered the domain school, Rikkyokan, studying literature and martial arts, and receiving a commendation for academic excellence at age 15. Soon after, Matsudaira Sadaaki became daimyō of Kuwana, and Tatsumi became his page, with a 180 koku stipend. Together with Matsudaira Sadaaki, he left for Edo in 1861, where was permitted to attend the elite Shogunate school at Shoheiko, and where he was hailed as a prodigy.

Soldier in the Boshin War
When Matsudaira Sadaaki was appointed as Kyoto Shoshidai, Tatsumi followed him to Kyoto, where he served as a liaison with other domains. It was in this role that he met many of the men who would later become famous in the Meiji period, including Katsura Kogorō, Ōkubo Toshimichi, and Saigō Takamori. Before long, though, he was transferred back to Edo and entered the Tokugawa bakufu's French-trained infantry. His French military instructors were said to have remarked, "Tatsumi is a genius of a soldier." He later served in the Bakufu's 3rd Infantry Regiment.

The first battle of the Boshin War, the Battle of Toba–Fushimi, occurred while he was in Edo. When Matsudaira Sadaaki returned, Tatsumi advocated continued military opposition to the Satchō Alliance army. Tatsumi and the Kuwana retainers remaining in Edo followed Matsudaira Sadaaki to Echigo Province by sea, where they hoped to establish themselves in the former Shogunal territory of Kashiwazaki. Tatsumi organized the remaining Kuwana forces into three units—the Raijintai, the Jinputai, and the Chinintai. Elections were held to determine the commanders of each unit, and Tatsumi became commander of the Raijintai, and his elder brother Machida Ronoshin became commander of the Jinputai. Through well-coordinated guerilla tactics, Tatsumi managed to fight his way to Kashiwazaki. Joining up with Matsudaira Sadaaki in Kashiwazaki, he continued to fight against the new Meiji government's army, first independently, and then in concert with the Nagaoka Domain. However, when Nagaoka was defeated, the Kuwana forces retreated further north, to Aizu Domain, ruled by Matsudaira Sadaaki's birth brother, Matsudaira Katamori. Tatsumi fought in the Aizu campaign, and led the Kuwana forces even north on Matsudaira Sadaaki's orders to join the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei, surrendering in Shōnai Domain (present-day Yamagata Prefecture) some time later.

Under the Meiji government
Following the end of the Boshin War, Tatsumi was placed in confinement in January 1871, and changed his given name to Naofumi. However, he was soon pardoned by the new government, and returned to Kuwana Domain as a junior councilor after pleading his loyalty to Emperor Meiji. He accepted a post as a prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice from April 1873 and was promoted steadily until he reached the position of chief prosecutor at the Tokyo District Court in May 1877.

However, the following month, in response to the Satsuma Rebellion, he joined the Imperial Japanese Army and was given the rank of major. He served as chief-of-staff of the Shinsenryodan, a unit composed of former Kuwana samurai and members of the Shinsengumi. He commanded the IJA 10th Infantry Regiment and later the IJA 8th Infantry Regiment during the Satsuma Rebellion. Afterwards, in February 1879 he was appointed commandant of the Osaka Garrison. In July 1880, he became chief-of-staff of the Imperial Guard. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in February 1884 and in May 1885 was commander of the Guards 3rd Infantry. From August 1886 to December 1887, he was aide-de-camp to Prince Komatsu Akihito, and accompanied him overseas on diplomatic missions to England, France, Germany and Russia, as well as the Ottoman Empire. He was promoted to colonel in November 1887. After his return to Japan, he was chief-of-staff of the IJA 3rd Division from March 1889.

Tatsumi was promoted to major general in June 1894 and was assigned command of the IJA 10th Infantry Brigade. During the First Sino-Japanese War he was distinguished by his role in the 1894 Battle of Pyongyang. After the end of the war, He was ennobled with the rank of danshaku (baron) under the kazoku peerage system in August 1895.After the war, he was briefly commandant of the Army Staff College, and was then head of the Japanese military bureau within the Government-General of Taiwan from April 1896.

He was promoted to lieutenant general in October 1898 and was placed in command of the newly-formed IJA 8th Division. The infamous Hakkōda Mountains incident in which 199 of 210 members of its 5th Infantry Regiment froze to death in Hakkōda Mountains during training exercise occurred during his command. Tatsumi  subsequently led the division into combat during the Russo-Japanese War. Two of the principal battles of his military career were at Sandepu and Mukden in 1905. He was promoted to full general in May 1906, but retired two months later and died the following March.

Rosie Rudin selected for World Junior Team
A group of British Swimming's brightest prospects which includes Rosie has been selected to compete at the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in August.
Twelve athletes will fight for world titles after putting themselves onto the team following their performances at the British Swimming Championships in London earlier this month.
British Swimming Head of Performance Pathways Tim Jones will lead the team to Singapore.
"We will be sending a team that is small and focused," explained Jones. "We had a good contingent of athletes that achieved a minimum consideration standard at the trials and we've taken six males and six females from these.
"It's a strong team that includes medal opportunities but our longer term aim and belief is that this group of athletes will support British Swimming's overall Rio 2016 Olympic ambitions. The experience gained this summer will play a vital role in achieving this."
The event will feature the world's best girls aged 14-17 and boys aged 15-18, and will come off the back of a very busy summer.
"It will be a big challenge for nine of the team as they have to face two major meets this summer – the European
Games in Baku followed by the World Junior Championships," said Jones.
"I believe this group of young athletes will rise to the challenge. We'll make sure they have a conducive preparation as we head to Thailand for a short holding camp before dropping into Singapore three days out from competition for our final preparations."

Ask me to write this a week ago and it would be very different, the sacking of Kieron Cunningham throws so many areas of this clash into doubt (see 18th Man contribution by clicking here) Under Cunningham, and I think St Helens fans agree more than most on this, their style of rugby was conservative, aiming to be error free – rather than expansive. For a side that historically call themselves the entertainers, it wasn't very entertaining. A week on, you have one of the most unpredictable characters, never mine players, in charge of the side – Sean Long – so goodness knows what to expect.
The significant change in the background team is the Long is no longer in charge of their defence, but in charge of their attack – when I read that, I couldn't believe he wasn't in charge of the attack already.
Saints have struggled so far this year but they are only one place behind Wigan – they are not a million miles away and two good results this weekend (Wigan and Castleford) and they are right back in the mix. Saints have the luxury of naming a full strength squad, with the exception of James Roby – who could be a big miss for them. The return of Matty Smith is a bittersweet one for many Wigan fans, a great servant for Wigan during our most successful Super League period to date but returning as a Saints player makes it a hard one to process. Whilst I really want Matty Smith to succeed during the rest of his career, I can't quite bring myself to write that in the context of him as a Saints player.
Wigan will no doubt target Matty in defence, when he first arrived at Wigan from Salford, he led the Opta stats for missed tackles at that point in the season. His defence improved during his time at Wigan but he was still targeted and when compared to Williams and Leuluai – Fage and Smith, could be a weak link in the Saints defence. I expect Wigan's big men to be targeting the halfbacks more so that normal in their attacking drives.
Which Saints turn up, a continuation of the safe playing side we have seen this year or a direct reflection of their acting coach, Sean Long – attacking, unpredictable and very good at getting one over Wigan?
1 Jonny Lomax, 2. Tommy Makinson, 3. Ryan Morgan, 4. Mark Percival, 5. Adam Swift, 6. Theo Fages, 7. Matty Smith, 8. Alex Walmsley, 10. Kyle Amor, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 14. Luke Douglas, 15. Adam Walker, 16. Luke Thompson, 17. Tommy Lee, 19. Greg Richards, 20. Morgan Knowles, 28. Regan Grace, 36. Zeb Taia.
"The events of the last couple of days have been sad and hard as KC is such a good person who has given 24 years of his life to the club. It was hard for everyone at the club, the chairman Eamonn McManus and Chief Exec Mike Rush.
"Results haven't been what we have wanted them to be – we haven't been good enough and that includes myself and the playing group. No one was working harder than Kez to turn it around but it didn't work out. We all have to take some responsibility for what happened over the course of the season.
"The players were visibly upset but understand it is a business and the show must go on. We face a tough game on Friday.
"I wouldn't think they need any motivation for the game. They have always been good tussles. Our role is to make sure the players understand their roles and we give them a nice gameplan to go and get the win.
He continued: "It is quite hard to change this things in a week. It's unfair to say you can come in and play a totally different style. Changes like that don't happen in a week. Myself, Sean and Derek are there to make sure they are focused on the game coming up. We want no confusion and a nice and simple gameplan which we can go out and try and execute the best we can.
Wigan finally welcome back Mickey McIllorum to their 19 man squad, along with captain Sean O'Loughlin and winger Joe Burgess. They replace injured (Yes another injury!!) Tony Clubb, Romain Navarrete and Nick Gregson.
It's a perfect, unpredictable derby. You have Wigan who are busted with injuries but with three key players returning who haven't won in four games against a Saints side, at full strength baring Roby, shot of confidence but with a change of management. Does the Good Friday nightmare continue for Saints or do they produce one of those responses you often see in sport, when a time parts company with their manager?
In recent years Wigan have always raised their game for Good Friday, Magic Weekend and the Play Offs. It's almost like they use Good Friday and the Magic Weekend as big game experience for the end of the year and I am hoping they do the same again this week. Last week against Castleford, Wigan were poor in both attack and defence, the first time in a long time in which both facets of their game has been poor. Back in 2015, the last Good Friday game at the DW, Wigan came into that game in poor form also but a strong defensive performance got the crowd behind them and they produced a great victory in a wonderful, full-blooded game of rugby. I expect more of the same this year and I believe Wigan will back their defence to improve and win the game. They have the player of the moment, who can do something from nothing, George Williams and a man who can score from anywhere – Joe Burgess. If Wigan keep their defence tight, then their attacking flair can prosper in this game.
Matty Smith's game management is crucial to Saints and also crucial that Wigan prevent him from controlling the game. We have all seen games in which Smith controls them so brilliantly but we have also seen games in which he struggles to impose himself on, let's hope for the later on Friday.
With the returning bodies and home advantage, I expect Wigan to come through this game as winners, they cannot afford St Helens to build in confidence however as on paper, they have the stronger the squad available.

Nutrition labels aren't sufficient to expect food regimen's consequences on gut microbes
in Diet And Nutrition
When it involves vitamins, humans and microbe don't quite see eye to eye. According to new research published nowadays within the journal Cell Host & Microbe, vitamin labels aren't sufficient to are expecting diet's consequences on the intestine microbiome, the bustling populace of friendly microbes that colonize the human colon. Meals have an impact on our resident microbes seems to have more to do with wherein it falls in subgroups of categories like dairy, meats, and vegetables than what its typical carbohydrate or fat content material is.
On the entire, they have a look at, which carefully tracked dietary information and stool samples from 34 individuals over a period of weeks. It also shows that food isn't the best factor that governs how the gut microbiome modifications over the years. Although weight loss program facilitates the composition of these groups from daily in an individual, microbes commonly don't respond to ingredients within the same way from individual to individual.
The findings reinforce the concept that there's no person-length-fits-all protocol for organizing and keeping a wholesome microbiome—and recommend that dietary interventions targeted at gut microbes may additionally need to be tailored to individual sufferers.
"For a long time, we've been trying to move in the direction of prescribing diets for the microbiome," says Courtney Robinson, a microbiologist at Howard University who became not involved in the observe. "We nevertheless don't certainly know how to make a 'healthy' microbiome…However [this study] gives a greater granular assessment on this procedure that we haven't had before."
Researchers have long recognized that food plans can form and reshape the intestine microbiome, which functions in crucial functions from synthesizing vitamins to guarding in opposition to infection. But how specific foods and nutrients affect the masses or heaps of microbial species that colonize the human digestive tract stay mainly mysterious. Moreover, both weight-reduction plan and microbiome range noticeably from character to man or woman and generally tend to change from day to day, even inside the same individual.
To disentangle some of this complexity, a team of researchers led with the aid of Abigail Johnson and Dan Knights at the University of Minnesota put 34 humans and their microbes below the figurative microscope.
For the length of the 17-day take look, participants recorded the entirety they ate and provided each day fecal samples. But while the researchers attempted to suit shifts in weight loss plan to changes within the intestine, they found out they wanted a brand new manner to categorize meals. Broadly speaking, the general public enrolled inside the take a look at eating nutritionally comparable diets, with about the same proportions of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, making those classes too indistinct to yield a lot perception. As a result, going meals item by using meals object becomes a pointless intense at the other end of the spectrum. "That was one among the largest obstacles we hit," Johnson says. "Nobody eats the same things."
Instead, Johnson, a microbiologist and registered dietician, and her group decided to sort the dietary records primarily based loosely on USDA vitamin tips. The technique, Johnson explains, is comparable to a very targeted version of the meals corporations maximum American kids are taught in school. For example, a category like dairy is probably further broken down into milk, lotions, milk cakes, and cheeses. In this new device, nutritionally similar ingredients like rice and potatoes—that are known to be interpreted in another way by way of gut microbes—ended up in specific subgroups.
Using those styles, the researchers were then capable of expecting what someone's intestine microbiome would possibly appear to be primarily based on what they'd eaten during the last numerous days. Diet, however, is just one among a constellation of factors that affect which microbes will and received't thrive in a given character's intestine. Thus, these meals-based totally forecasts additionally required earlier understanding approximately what every person's microbiome gave the impression of at baseline. As a result, the predictions had been absolutely customized and couldn't be generalized amongst contributors.
But a loss of uniformity isn't the reason for the problem: Just like there isn't one wholesome weight-reduction plan, there isn't one wholesome microbiome. Even though the examine's contributors have been consuming special meals and harbored one-of-a-kind communities of their guts drastically, Johnson says all were in exact fitness. (Two of the participants subsisted almost completely on the dietary alternative beverage Soylent for the duration of the look at, and their microbiomes didn't appear to go through.)
"There's a bent to need to categorize things as properly or awful," says Amy Jacobson, a microbiologist at Stanford University who changed into not concerned inside the have a look at. "But those varieties of black and white categorizations are difficult to make [for the gut microbiome]. What can be 'precise' for one man or woman might not be exact for another."
With that during thoughts, a personalized remedy technique makes feel, says Gilberto Flores, a microbial ecologist at California State University, Northridge, who become not involved inside the examination. Of course, more paintings are needed to parent out if those predictions pan out a long time and with a bigger, greater diverse population of individuals. As research like this keeps, however, similar models "could be a powerful tool within the destiny," he says.
For now, those outcomes underscore the reality that human beings nonetheless have loads to study the meals on their plates, Knights says. The vitamins human cells extract and absorb from the matters we consume are the same ones that become on labels, but a terrific part of food rely is offered most effective to the microbes in our colon. Deep within the big intestine, one organism's trash can fast become some other's treasure—and it's here that this undigested "junk" begins to make a distinction. Microbes truly don't interpret foods in the identical approaches we do, and it is time to start acknowledging their factor of view.
