Middle Tennessee State University is committed to providing accessible information, materials and technologies to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to university resources comparable to access that is available to others.
Students with disabilities are afforded rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. These rights grant equal opportunity and access to an education.
The Disability & Access Center serves as an initial point of contact, conduit of information, and provisioner in matters related to disability accommodation, access, and awareness.
However, MTSU faculty and staff strive to build accessible instructional and informational materials, thus reducing the need for the Disability & Access Center's support and accommodations. The elements below are an overview of the accessibility principles to be followed when creating electronic materials.
The links on the right side have information about the specifics of accessibility in different applications. If you have questions about how to implement any of the practices, feel free to contact FITC at 615-904-8189 or itdacad@mtsu.edu.
Though students with a hearing or vision impairment do not represent the majority of students with a disability, many of the accessibility practices that provide access for these students (captioning, renderable text, keyboard navigation) aid the wider population of students with disabilities while providing enhanced media that are more useable by everyone.
Course accessibility can be boiled down to access. Creating or using materials that a subset of students cannot access in an equitable manner is a thing of the past. We are pressing forward into the age of digital accessibility so that all students have equal access to a university education.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a philosophy that recognizes the diversity of students. Because all people learn and experience life differently, flexibility in the means of presentation, engagement and expression help educators meet the needs of a spectrum of learners.
Faculty members are charged with creating new materials in a way that includes students of all abilities. There is not an expectation that all your course materials from over the years would be made fully accessible overnight, but we can work together to retrofit accessibility where needed.
If you have a student with a disability enroll in your course, you should expect to receive an accommodation letter from the Disability & Access Center that lists all approved accommodations to be made in your class. At that point, you will need to make sure that all materials given to the entire class are put into a format that the student with a disability can access.
These accessibility pages are designed with university classes in mind, but these principles can be used in the creation of any informational materials across campus. By creating accessible digital materials, you are building resources that can be used in traditional, flipped and online classes.
Building accessibility into your course is much quicker than having to adapt inaccessible materials when a student with a disability enrolls in your course.
Accessible course materials are useful to all students. A PDF that has been made readable to assistive software is then searchable by all students. Descriptive text for complicated images can help all students understand pertinent information.
Federal and state laws dictate that all instructional materials presented electronically be accessible to people with disabilities.
The principles for accessible course design found below are based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG, standards. Expand each category and then its underlying design elements to find the accessibility issues that they can present.
Problem: Images meant to convey information (charts, comics, email invitations, equations*) cannot be read by assistive technology. The software will simply say "graphic" or "image" without telling the user the content of the image.
Fix: Either use alternate text tags for images or type the alt text outside of the image. Alt text should present the content and function, not necessarily a description, of an image.
Note: Alt text tags should be kept under 125 characters. If the description needs to be longer, you can add the description into the body of the document or website. As mentioned above, this may help all students to understand the image better.
What information should you include or exclude from alternative text descriptions? See the DIAGRAM Center's alt text resource.
Problem: Students that cannot hear a podcast, recorded class lecture, or other audio clip that is part of the class experience are excluded from essential content.
Fix: Include a text transcript in the simplest file format (Notepad in Windows; TextEdit in macOS) with all the information from the audio recording. Post the transcript file next to the audio clip, if embedding the clip on a website.
Note: Transcripts can help all students by making the text from audio-only clips searchable.
Fix: Either send your videos out to a third-party service, such as Cielo24, and pay to have your video captioned OR caption videos yourself using Camtasia or YouTube (using YouTube to caption doesn't mean that your videos have to be posted publicly on YouTube).
Note: Captioning someone else's video violates copyright by changing their original content. Cielo24 has a dynamic transcript player that may be a solution in this situation. Their player also has the advantage of creating a searchable transcript.
Problem: Videos with unspoken content (slides, pictures, action without dialog) cannot be understood in an equitable manner by students who cannot see the video. This becomes paramount when instructors assign videos where students are expected to respond to what they've seen.
Fix: Either send your videos out to a third-party service, such as AMAC description or 3Play Media, and pay to receive professional audio description OR describe videos yourself using Camtasia or other video editing software.
Note: It's possible that your video doesn't need audio description if all of the visual content is already being described, as in a traditional lecture. If you're not sure, you can check with FITC at 8189 or itdacad@mtsu.edu.
Problem: Page formatting (lists, headings and links) is read aloud to screen reader users so that the content can be understood in context. If you have not marked lists with the unordered or ordered list button, screen reader users are not getting the full picture about the structure of the document.
Fix: Easy! If order is important in your list, make it a numbered list. If order is not important, a bulleted list is a better choice.
Problem: PDFs are a common medium for fillable forms. It is possible for PDF forms to be fully accessible, but the process of making them so can be a long, frustrating journey. Website forms usually have less issues, but form fields need to be labeled appropriately so that a screen reader user knows what information to enter at each question.
Fix: Use your departmental website in OU to create forms with labels for each field OR use Dynamic Forms (contact Mary.Smith@mtsu.edu) to create a web form.
Note: If you need to use a PDF form, FITC can help you test it for keyboard and screen reader accessibility. Contact at 8189 or itdacad@mtsu.edu.
Tables on the Web: Use correct HTML markup to create tables that make sense to a screen reader user.
Microsoft Word: Use Bookmarks in the first cell of tables, as shown in this YouTube Table Bookmarking video. This video also mentions some things you should not do when creating a table in a Word document.
Adobe Acrobat Pro: Use the Touch Up Reading Order tool on scanned documents. This should not be necessary for files created with accessibility in Word. For those, accessibility should carry over table markup when exported to PDF.
Problem: Documents and websites are difficult to navigate when a heading structure is not present. Even when paragraph topics are bolded and placed in a larger font, assistive technologies cannot see them as headings unless they are marked using the built-in tools of the document creation program.
Fix: Place the cursor on the line of the heading that you typed and then choose Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, etc. from the Paragraph or Styles menu so that the program can tell assistive technology where the headings are located.
Note: Headings should be on their own line. When paragraph text continues on the same line as the heading, assistive software cannot see it as a heading.
Problem: People with low vision and/or color blindness may not be able to differentiate between shades that are nearly the same. Eg. This would be much easier to read in a font color that has higher contrast to the background.
You also don't want to convey meaning through color alone. A good example is MTSU parking. Red parking is for residential students, and Green parking is for all other students. People with color blindness had great difficulty differentiating between the two colors posted on signs in MTSU parking lots, so Parking Services added a large R on the Red parking decals.
Fix: Use the WebAIM: Color Contrast Checker to ensure high contrast in your text and find alternate ways to present information, such as using the moniker "Important:" before text that you would have otherwise bolded, underlined, or marked in a bright color.
Problem: Scanned pages are often put into PDF format. If these pages do not have text recognition performed on them, they will simply be images of scanned content. Assistive software is not able to access the text if it has not been recognized with optical character recognition (OCR).
Fix: Use Adobe Acrobat Pro (ITD has a free site license) to recognize (OCR) text in scanned pages. Alternately, you can scan pages using the R. J. Young printers with OCR turned ON and Compact turned OFF.
Note: For books, you'll want to press down on the pages while scanning so that the Acrobat software has the best images possible and thus, the best chance of correctly recognizing the text.
Problem: Mathematics are difficult to understand through description alone, although this is a common approach to accommodating students with a visual impairment. Students with a learning disability can also need more than traditional approaches to mathematics teaching.
Fix: Use MathML to create fully accessible mathematics that can be navigated by the student using a braille display, screen reader, or accessible math viewer.
Note: D2L has a built-in MathML creator. Alternatively, you can create documents with Microsoft Word and the MathType plug-in. Unfortunately, Equation Editor in Microsoft Word does not create accessible equations. PDFs do not mean automatic math accessibility either.
In Pearson products, the publisher has recommended choosing questions that have an ear icon (this denotes the problem as accessible to a screen reader).
Problem: Students with a mobility impairment may rely solely on the keyboard for navigation. If websites do not show focus when tabbing from element to element, these students will not be able to get to class content. You should be able to press the Tab key repeatedly on a webpage to access all information and functions.
Issues can also arise for screen reader users when software and websites have "keyboard traps." This is usually due to underlying code that has not been tested for accessibility.
Fix: Be sure that your website uses visual focus indication by pressing the Tab key repeatedly to make sure that you can access all information and functions. See a video on testing for keyboard access.
Note: If you require your students to use third-party software and/or websites, you will want to test those for accessibility with screen reading software. Contact FITC at 8189 or itdacad@mtsu.edu.
Problem: Websites, videos, etc. that include flashing lights can trigger seizures for students with a seizure disorder.
Fix: Remove any parts of your website or presentation that include flashing/flickering elements.
Problem: Links such as "click here" and "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG5iVYE..." do not tell a screen reader user what the link is taking them to. This may not seem like a problem when the context of a webpage or document describes the destination of the link. Eg. For more information on poison dart frogs, go to https://goo.gl/Kyj6u9. However, screen reading software has the ability to pull out all links on a page and put them in a quick list. This loses the context from the page (see demonstration video below) and creates a long string of URL text that may or may not make sense to the user.
Fix: Use descriptive links in the body of your text. Eg. The MTSU School of Nursing offers both graduate and undergraduate degrees.
Note: When putting together documents that will be printed out, such as a syllabus, use descriptive links for the hyperlinked page AND insert the URL as plain text (remove the hyperlink after pasting the URL). Eg. The MTSU School of Nursing (www.mtsu.edu/nursing) offers both graduate and undergraduate degrees.
View a demonstration of adding descriptive links to a document or webpage.
Problem: Web pages and documents (Word, PDF, etc.) have the ability to change the specified language of the text. I.e. You can mark a Spanish language Word document as containing spanish text. If you do not make this change in the program, screen reading software may try to pronounce Spanish text with an English language synthesizer. This sounds a lot like someone who doesn't speak Spanish trying to pronounce Spanish words. Yikes!
Fix: Web pages have a specific way of coding language of the page, and you can even mark individual parts of the web page as containing a specific language, if the page has more than one language present. Document language can be marked in the menu system of the program where it was created.
Problem: Technologies that are the standard today may be changed or replaced tomorrow.
Fix: Use tools in the way that they were designed. In the same way that Microsoft Word has built-in Styles to aid in document creation ease and quick navigation for those using a screen reader, many programs have tools that ensure future compatibility with accessibility technologies. The best thing you can do is to become familiar with the accessbility tools built into document and website creation software. Use the list on the right side of this screen for a guide on application-specific accessibility practices.

This couldn't be simpler. Simply place all the ingredients except the chocolate and coconut oil in a blender and whizz till it forms a crumb-like texture. Line your baking tin, decant the mixture into it and press it down until it is nice and firm and even. To make the topping, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a bowl over some hot water. Whisk to ensure they are fully blended, before pouring over the base. Chill in the fridge until set. Remove from the tin and cut into 16 squares. They are small enough – like the size of chunky After Eights – but goodness, they are so good with a cuppa.

BRENDAN FARRINGTON, ASSOCIATED PRESS Published 11:18 p.m. ET May 23, 2019
STARKE, Florida — A serial killer who terrorized Florida with a murderous spree that claimed 10 women in 1984 was put to death Thursday, his execution witnessed by a woman who survived one of his attacks and aided in his capture.
Bobby Joe Long, 65, was pronounced dead at 6:55 p.m. Thursday following a lethal injection at Florida State Prison. Long had no last words, simply closing his eyes as the procedure began, witnesses said.
The killer terrified the Tampa Bay area for eight months in 1984 as women began showing up dead, their bodies often left in gruesome poses. Most were strangled, some had their throats slit, and others were bludgeoned.

Law enforcement had few clues until the case of Lisa Noland, who survived one of Long's attacks. She witnessed Thursday's execution from the front row.
Just 17 in 1984, Noland was abducted by Long outside a church that year. He raped her but ultimately let her go free. She left evidence of his crimes on the scene and gave police details leading to his capture. Long confessed to the crimes, receiving 28 life sentences and one death sentence for the murder of 22-year-old Michelle Simms.
Noland positioned herself in the witness room where she hoped Long would see her.
"I wanted to look him in the eye. I wanted to be the first person he saw. Unfortunately, he didn't open his eyes," she said. "It was comforting to know this was actually happening."
She said she began to cry after she left the room once it was over.
"The peace that came over me is a remarkable feeling," she said.

Another witness wore a polo shirt with a photo of one victim on the front and the words "Gone But Not Forgotten." On the back were photos of all 10 slaying victims and the words, "The Ones That Matter."
Noland was the victim Long let go. The day before her abduction, she said, she had written a suicide note, planning to end her life after years of sexual abuse by her grandmother's boyfriend.
But she ended up making heroic use of that history.
"At the time he put the gun to my head, it was nothing new to me," she told The Associated Press earlier this week.
She said she knew from her past abuse that if she fought Long, it would enrage him.
"I had to learn who he was, what made him tick. If I did the wrong move, could it end my life? So literally, the night before I wrote a suicide note out, and now I was in a position where I had to save my life," she said on Wednesday.
Investigators were baffled by the trail of bodies Long left around Tampa Bay. Artiss Ann Wick was the first killed, in March 1984. Nine others followed.
Law enforcement had few clues until Noland told her story.
Noland said beforehand that she knew what she would have said if she could have addressed Long. Said Noland: "I would say 'Thank you for choosing me and not another 17-year-old girl.'"
"Another 17-year-old girl probably wouldn't have been able to handle it the way that I have," she said.
Long moved from West Virginia to the Miami area as a child and was raised by his mother, a cocktail waitress. After high school, he married his childhood sweetheart, but later became violent. The ex-wife, Cindy Brown , told AP she recalls fearing for her life as the attacks grew worse, including a day he choked her and knocked her unconscious.

In the AP interview Wednesday, Noland described her attack in excruciating detail: the church where Long abducted her, the gun he pressed to her head, the bright light she could see on the car's dashboard beneath the edge of her blindfold. It said Magnum, as in Dodge Magnum.
She was menstruating and made sure she left blood evidence on the car's backseat. She could tell when they were on an interstate north of Tampa. When she was brought to the killer's apartment, she counted the steps up to the second floor. When he let her use the bathroom, she made sure she left fingerprints everywhere.
She knew she couldn't make him angry. She appealed to a glimmer of kindness he showed while he washed her hair after raping her repeatedly. She asked what made him do what he did. He said he had suffered a bad breakup and hated women. She told him he seemed nice and that maybe she could be his girlfriend. She wouldn't tell anyone.
Long later got Noland dressed. He let her loose and told her not to take the blindfold off for five minutes. She got out of the car and tripped on the curb. Long caught her before she fell. She waited for what seemed like an eternity and pulled off the blindfold. She was in front of a tree in another churchyard.
Today, she claims that tree as hers, and included it in the design of a T-shirt she made to mark Long's execution.
And she's joined the ranks of the law enforcement officers who captured Long. She's a deputy with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the same department she helped lead to Long's arrest.

è un manga frutto della collaborazione tra le autrici giapponesi Kaoru Kurimoto ai testi e Yumiko Igarashi ai disegni. È incentrato sul romanticismo e sulle relazioni sentimentali dei protagonisti, rientrando nel genere yuri. In maniera molto simile a quanto avviene in Lady Oscar, narra anch'esso di una ragazza che vive facendosi passare per un uomo.

L'opera è stata pubblicata dal 1986 al 1987 sulla rivista Asuka di Kadokawa Shoten e poi raccolta in tre volumi tankōbon. L'edizione italiana è stata pubblicata nel 2009 da GP Publishing in due volumi.

Trama
Nel lontano regno di Paros esiste una leggenda che ruota intorno alla sacra spada della famiglia reale. Secondo questa leggenda, in tempo di guerra, giungerà una sola persona che possa brandire tale arma e condurre il paese verso il futuro. Tale profezia, però, afferma anche che colui che porterà Paros ad un futuro di luce e prosperità è sia uomo che donna, mentre colui che porterà Paros alla distruzione, brandendo la sacra spada, non è né uomo, né tantomeno donna.

Da qualche mese, nel regno di Paros si respira aria di guerra: il vicino reame di Kauros vuole infatti conquistare - o attraverso la diplomazia, o con la guerra aperta - il prosperoso regno della spada. Ma il re di Paros non ha figli maschi, ma la sola Erminia, unica figlia, cresciuta come se fosse un ragazzo. Tutto il regno parla di lady Erminia, per il suo carattere coraggioso e ribelle, nonché per il suo valore e per la sua forza d'animo, tuttavia tutti sanno perfettamente che la giovane non può regnare, in quanto il potere reale si trasmette per linea maschile e quindi può solo andare in sposa a colui che sarà il futuro re. Ovvero, all'erede del regno di Kauros, sancendo così un legame fra i due reami, oppure ad un nobile di Paros dando vita così all'inevitabile guerra.

La verità è che Erminia non ha nessuna intenzione di assecondare i desideri del padre. Ella stessa sostiene al suo attendente personale, figlio di un nobile locale, nonché fidato amico Julius di come si senta intrappolata in un corpo di donna, pur possedendo l'animo di un uomo. Julius, segretamente innamorato di Erminia, si trova così costretto a doversi misurare con questa realtà dei fatti, fin quando nella vita dei due giovani non giunge Fiona.

Fiona è una semplice cameriera del castello di Paros, dal cuore gentile e dal carattere estroverso che tuttavia vive una vita di disagi e sofferenze a causa della sua povertà. Da piccola, Fiona incontrò in un fienile un giovane principe che si prese cura di lei per una notte, da allora vive la sua vita attendendo il momento in cui tale principe giungerà a riscattarla, non sapendo che in realtà il ragazzo in questione è proprio la principessa Erminia, di cui tutto il regno parla.

A causa di una serie fortuita di eventi, Erminia un giorno salva Fiona da un cavallo imbizzarrito e da allora le due ragazze, complice anche la fedeltà di Yuras, iniziano a frequentarsi ritrovandosi inevitabilmente ad innamorarsi l'una dell'altra, scambiandosi un bacio ed una solenne promessa di fedeltà durante la notte di carnevale della capitale del regno di Paros.

Ma la guerra è alle porte e il re di Paros non può far altro se non costringere Erminia a prendere marito. Ritrovandosi spalle al muro, Erminia decide di acconsentire al volere del padre a patto che lo sposo sia scelto attraverso una tenzone che coinvolga tutti coloro che desiderano la sua mano. L'ultimo sopravvissuto a questa serie di duelli dovrà però affrontare la stessa Erminia che accetterà di sposarsi solo nel caso di una sua sconfitta. Suo malgrado, e confidando che tale campione alla fine sia proprio il giovane Yuras, il padre accetta dando vita al torneo] che coinvolge centinaia di cavalieri, semplici soldati e persino mercenari.

Durante il duello finale, però, le truppe del vicino regno di Kauros approfittano della disattenzione delle guardie di Paros, impegnate nella selezione o sugli spalti dell'arena per vedere chi sarà il vincitore della sfida, per entrare nel regno e conquistarlo dall'interno, complice anche il tradimento dello zio paterno della stessa Erminia.

Tale tradimento non si arresta però solo nell'omicidio del legittimo re di Paros: lo zio di Erminia, infatti, è riuscito con uno stratagemma a far inserire nella lista dei cavalieri del torneo anche l'erede del regno di Kauros, erede che non solo riuscirà ad arrivare in fondo al torneo, ma che addirittura sconfiggerà Erminia (sconvolta dalla morte del padre avvenuta per avvelenamento proprio sugli spalti) e ne pretenderà quindi la mano.

Presa prigioniera dalle guardie di Kauros, Erminia è convinta d'aver perso ogni cosa: la bassa nobiltà fedele al re di Paros ha tradito per aver salva la vita e chi era invece rimasto fedele è andato incontro alla morte. Fiona sembra essere scomparsa (in realtà è stata picchiata e violentata dalle guardie di Kauros prima del duello e adesso vive in reclusione e nella vergogna nelle vicine campagne del regno). Julius è stato sconfitto ed accecato nel torneo voluto da Erminia stessa proprio dall'erede di Kauros e lo stesso re di Paros è ormai morto.

Proprio quando tutto sembra volgere per il peggio, i contadini del regno di Paros insorgono nel tentativo di riprendersi quanto è andato perso. Alla testa del gruppo che si batterà per liberare Erminia, c'è proprio Fiona che, innamorata della principessa, alla notizia di come Erminia sia andata presa prigioniera si scopre a reagire per salvare la vita dell'amata.

Nel finale, la principessa di Paros viene liberata proprio da Fiona e con lei può scappare, allontanandosi dai due reami in guerra, nell'attesa che giungano nuovi giorni in cui magari riprendere possesso del regno andato perduto.

Personaggi

Unica erede al trono di Paros, ha sempre rifiutato la propria condizione di principessa considerando se stessa come una donna dal cuore di uomo.

 Una giovane lavandaia serva al palazzo reale di Paros. Orfana, ha sempre sognato per sé un matrimonio con un bellissimo principe e per la sua ingenuità è spesso schernita, anche crudelmente, dalle altre serve.

Poiché orfano di madre, è stato cresciuto come un fratello per la principessa Erminia. Col tempo Julius ha sviluppato dei sentimenti romantici non ricambiati per la battagliera erede al trono, che amandolo come un fratello lo respinge più volte.

Erede al trono del vicino regno di Kauros. È un principe viaggiatore, e si scontra a duello per la prima volta contro Erminia durante i festeggiamenti del carnevale a Paros, quando entrambi partecipano in incognito ai festeggiamenti popolari.

 Fratello del re e zio di Erminia, Alphonse ha da sempre dei fitti traffici col regno rivale di Kauros. La sua brama di potere e la sua naturale predisposizione all'inganno fanno di lui una figura viscida e falsa, fautore di sotterfugi di corte e delitti nell'ombra.

Manga
In Giappone la serie è stata prima pubblicata a puntate sulla rivista Asuka, poi raccolta in tre volumi tankōbon nel 1987. In Italia la casa editrice GP Publishing ha preferito, invece, raccogliere tutti i capitoli in soli due volumi.

A smartphone application will soon be expediting the entrance of carpoolers onto the Route 1 fast lane to Tel Aviv, eliminating the need to pass through burdensome checkpoints.
The Transportation Ministry and the Netivei Ayalon company are issuing a tender on Thursday for the development of this application, which aims to save time for vehicles carrying four or more passengers that make use of the fast lane.
Today, public vehicles are exempt from paying the toll for the Route 1 fast lane – the section between Ben-Gurion Interchange and the Kibbutz Galuyot exit. As far as private vehicles are concerned, sometimes cars carrying three or more people and other times cars carrying four or more people receive exemptions, depending on traffic volume. Nonetheless, these cars must first stop at a designated inspection point before entering at the "park and ride" parking lot, the ministry explained.
The ministry and Netivei Ayalon are requesting ideas and suggestions on types of applications that will accomplish the time-saving goal.
For example, one idea could be an application based on identifying the presence of mobile phones in the car, where a "master" phone would register to the application the number of phones present in the car, the ministry said.
The fast lane currently attracts thousands of citizens daily and presents an efficient solution to those who want to get quickly to the center of Tel Aviv, according to Transportation Minister Israel Katz.
"The success of the fast lane and the shuttle services brought an increase in the number of vehicles parked in the parking lot of the lane, and today it almost reaches maximum capacity," Katz said.
Katz said that in addition to issuing the tender, his ministry is working to double the number of parking spaces to 4,000 at the "park and ride" lot near the entrance to Tel Aviv.
Once a second floor of spaces is established there, this will become the largest parking lot in Israel, he added.

We celebrated my parents' fortieth wedding anniversary on the high seas with a cruise to Alaska—my fiftieth and final US state to visit! We set sail from Seattle and traveled through the Inside Passage to Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Victoria. The Alaskan wind was just beginning to get it's sharp, chilly autumnal edge, which invigorated the countless hours we spent strolling the decks and taking in the views. We sat in the hot tub as sailed through Glacier Bay, rode a train to the Yukon territory, hiked Mendenhall Glacier, and flew a seaplane to a salmon hatchery for an up-close glimpse of black bears catching fish. What a restorative, adventure-filled week it was!
After several years of traveling around Europe, this trip to Alaska reawakened my wanderlust for beautiful North America. I'm determined to see more of this immense, diverse, wild continent. Preferably on a boat with endless desserts and magic shows every night.

DNA replication origins in archaea [PDF]
Zhenfang Wu,Jingfang Liu,Haibo Yang,Hua Xiang
Frontiers in Microbiology , 2014, DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2014.00179
Abstract: DNA replication initiation, which starts at specific chromosomal site (known as replication origins), is the key regulatory stage of chromosome replication. Archaea, the third domain of life, use a single or multiple origin(s) to initiate replication of their circular chromosomes. The basic structure of replication origins is conserved among archaea, typically including an AT-rich unwinding region flanked by several conserved repeats (origin recognition box, ORB) that are located adjacent to a replication initiator gene. Both the ORB sequence and the adjacent initiator gene are considerably diverse among different replication origins, while in silico and genetic analyses have indicated the specificity between the initiator genes and their cognate origins. These replicator–initiator pairings are reminiscent of the oriC-dnaA system in bacteria, and a model for the negative regulation of origin activity by a downstream cluster of ORB elements has been recently proposed in haloarchaea. Moreover, comparative genomic analyses have revealed that the mosaics of replicator-initiator pairings in archaeal chromosomes originated from the integration of extrachromosomal elements. This review summarizes the research progress in understanding of archaeal replication origins with particular focus on the utilization, control and evolution of multiple replication origins in haloarchaea.
Where does DNA replication start in archaea?
Amit Vas, Janet Leatherwood
Genome Biology , 2000, DOI: 10.1186/gb-2000-1-3-reviews1020
Abstract: Use of genome sequences is a powerful art that goes beyond finding protein homologs: it has changed how we can approach basic biological questions. This is particularly apparent for the enigmatic archaebacteria. Here, more than for other organisms, available genome data far exceed traditional biological study. A recent striking example of the insights that can be gained from archaeal genomics is provided by a report in Science from Myllykallio et al. [1] showing the use of DNA strand compositional bias, or GC skew, to find the likely replication origin in three Pyrococcus species. One reason for widespread interest in archaeal replication origins is the similarity between the factors involved in DNA replication in archaea and eukaryotes. Archaeal homologs of eukaryotic replication factors and DNA polymerase suggest that archaebacteria could become an important model to aid understanding of eukaryotic DNA replication.Are archaea like humans or bacteria? This was the issue raised when archaeal genome sequencing revealed some areas of surprising similarity between these prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Though archaeal metabolism and operon gene organization is certainly most similar to prokaryotic eubacteria, the archaeal factors for transcription, translation and DNA replication seem more akin to those found in eukaryotes. Thus, the third kingdom, archaebacteria, might serve as a simple model for mechanisms of eukaryotic cell function. And we are left wondering just how much these prokaryotes resemble ourselves. (For more extensive reviews of this issue see [2,3,4,5,6]).Archaea (as exemplified by Pyrococcus sp.) replicate their circular genome from a single DNA replication origin as do bacteria, even though they may use eukaryotic-like proteins to do so (Figure 1; [1]). This single-origin replication is definitely un-human, as our DNA replication depends on initiation at thousands of different origins. The multiple sites of initiation are essential for timely replication o
Evolution of DNA Replication Protein Complexes in Eukaryotes and Archaea [PDF]
Nicholas Chia,Isaac Cann,Gary J. Olsen
Abstract: The replication of DNA in Archaea and eukaryotes requires several ancillary complexes, including proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), replication factor C (RFC), and the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex. Bacterial DNA replication utilizes comparable proteins, but these are distantly related phylogenetically to their archaeal and eukaryotic counterparts at best.
Close Encounters of the Third Domain: The Emerging Genomic View of Archaeal Diversity and Evolution [PDF]
Anja Spang,Joran Martijn,Jimmy H. Saw,Anders E. Lind,Lionel Guy,Thijs J. G. Ettema
Archaea , 2013, DOI: 10.1155/2013/202358
Abstract: The Archaea represent the so-called Third Domain of life, which has evolved in parallel with the Bacteria and which is implicated to have played a pivotal role in the emergence of the eukaryotic domain of life. Recent progress in genomic sequencing technologies and cultivation-independent methods has started to unearth a plethora of data of novel, uncultivated archaeal lineages. Here, we review how the availability of such genomic data has revealed several important insights into the diversity, ecological relevance, metabolic capacity, and the origin and evolution of the archaeal domain of life. 1. Introduction The description of the three (cellular) domains of life—Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea—by Carl Woese and George Fox [1] represents a milestone in the modern era of microbiology. In particular, using phylogenetic reconstructions of the small-subunit (16S or 18S) ribosomal RNA gene, Woese discovered that microscopically indistinguishable prokaryotes are not a homogeneous assemblage but are comprised of two fundamentally different groups of organisms: Eubacteria (later Bacteria) on one side and an additional life form referred to as Archaebacteria (later Archaea) on the other side [1]. Though not immediately accepted by the scientific community, this finding was early on supported by Wolfram Zillig through his studies on DNA-dependent RNA polymerases, as well as by Otto Kandler investigating "bacterial" cell walls [2]. Indeed, a subset of prokaryotic organisms subsequently assigned to Archaea was found to harbor DNA-dependent RNA polymerases that bore more similarity to those of eukaryotes, and to contain proteinaceous cell walls that lack peptidoglycan as well as cell membranes composed of L-glycerol ether lipids with isoprenoid chains instead of D-glycerol ester lipids with fatty acid chains [3–6]. Since then, further investigation of cellular characteristics of archaea has revealed that this domain of life contains eukaryotic-like information-processing machineries [7–14]. These findings were later supported by genome sequences and comparative analyses of genes coding for replication, transcription, and translation machineries as well as by protein crystal structures [15–21]. Additionally, some archaeal lineages were shown to contain homologs of eukaryotic cell division and cytoskeleton genes as well as histones and seem to express a chromatin architecture similar to eukaryotes [22–28]. In contrast to information-processing and cell division genes, archaeal operational systems (energy metabolism, biosynthesis pathways, and regulation) often
Genomic context analysis in Archaea suggests previously unrecognized links between DNA replication and translation
Jonathan Berthon, Diego Cortez, Patrick Forterre
Genome Biology , 2008, DOI: 10.1186/gb-2008-9-4-r71
Abstract: Two distinct sets of DNA replication genes frequently co-localize in archaeal genomes: the first includes the genes for PCNA, the small subunit of the DNA primase (PriS), and Gins15; the second comprises the genes for MCM and Gins23. Other genomic associations of genes encoding proteins involved in informational processes that may be functionally relevant at the cellular level have also been noted; in particular, the association between the genes for PCNA, transcription factor S, and NudF. Surprisingly, a conserved cluster of genes coding for proteins involved in translation or ribosome biogenesis (S27E, L44E, aIF-2 alpha, Nop10) is almost systematically contiguous to the group of genes coding for PCNA, PriS, and Gins15. The functional relevance of this cluster encoding proteins conserved in Archaea and Eukarya is strongly supported by statistical analysis. Interestingly, the gene encoding the S27E protein, also known as metallopanstimulin 1 (MPS-1) in human, is overexpressed in multiple cancer cell lines.Our genome context analysis suggests specific functional interactions for proteins involved in DNA replication between each other or with proteins involved in DNA repair or transcription. Furthermore, it suggests a previously unrecognized regulatory network coupling DNA replication and translation in Archaea that may also exist in Eukarya.Alignment of prokaryotic genomes revealed that synteny is globally weak, indicating that bacterial and archaeal chromosomes experience continuous remodeling [1-3]. A few operons encoding physically interacting proteins involved in fundamental processes have been preserved between Archaea and Bacteria in the course of evolution (for example, operons encoding ribosomal proteins, RNA polymerase subunits, or ATP synthase subunits) [1-3]. Most gene strings are only conserved in closely related genomes or exhibit a patchy distribution among genomes in one large group of organisms (for example, in Archaea). Therefore, gene associations t
Rapid progress on the vertebrate tree of life
Robert C Thomson, H Bradley Shaffer
BMC Biology , 2010, DOI: 10.1186/1741-7007-8-19
Abstract: Using an automated phylogenetic approach, we analyse all available molecular data for a large sample of vertebrate diversity, comprising nearly 12,000 species and 210,000 sequences. Our results indicate that progress has been rapid, increasing polynomially during the age of molecular systematics. It is also skewed, with birds and mammals receiving the most attention and marine organisms accumulating far fewer data and a slower rate of increase in phylogenetic resolution than terrestrial taxa. We analyse the contributors to this phylogenetic progress and make recommendations for future work.Our analyses suggest that a large majority of the vertebrate tree of life will: (1) be resolved within the next few decades; (2) identify specific data collection strategies that may help to spur future progress; and (3) identify branches of the vertebrate tree of life in need of increased research effort.Resolution of a well-resolved phylogeny for all species is a central goal for biology in the 21st century. Inference of this 'tree of life' has far-reaching implications for nearly all fields of biology, from human health to conservation [1]. As efforts have shifted from primarily morphological to molecular approaches, a number of complex methodological issues central to the reconstruction of large phylogenies containing hundreds to thousands of species have been identified and, in some cases, solved [2-4]. At the most basic level, however, progress on the tree of life is limited by data. Both the rates at which DNA sequences are gathered and species are sampled have increased at a dramatic pace, leading to the now well-known exponential accumulation of basepairs in GenBank (Figure 1a) [5]. At the same time, the number of studies that infer and/or apply phylogenies has also grown rapidly (Figure 1b) [6]. While these indications of progress on the tree of life are encouraging, they are indirect and fall short of quantifying the growth of phylogenetic knowledge.GenBank is composed
The CMG (CDC45/RecJ, MCM, GINS) complex is a conserved component of the DNA replication system in all archaea and eukaryotes
Kira S Makarova, Eugene V Koonin, Zvi Kelman
Biology Direct , 2012, DOI: 10.1186/1745-6150-7-7
Abstract: We confirm and extend the recent hypothesis that CDC45 is the eukaryotic ortholog of the bacterial and archaeal RecJ family nucleases. At least one RecJ homolog was identified in all sequenced archaeal genomes, with the single exception of Caldivirga maquilingensis. These proteins include previously unnoticed remote RecJ homologs with inactivated DHH domain in Thermoproteales. Combined with phylogenetic tree reconstruction of diverse eukaryotic, archaeal and bacterial DHH subfamilies, this analysis yields a complex scenario of RecJ family evolution in Archaea which includes independent inactivation of the nuclease domain in Crenarchaeota and Halobacteria, and loss of this domain in Methanococcales.The archaeal complex of a CDC45/RecJ homolog, MCM and GINS is homologous and most likely functionally analogous to the eukaryotic CMG complex, and appears to be a key component of the DNA replication machinery in all Archaea. It is inferred that the last common archaeo-eukaryotic ancestor encoded a CMG complex that contained an active nuclease of the RecJ family. The inactivated RecJ homologs in several archaeal lineages most likely are dedicated structural components of replication complexes.This article was reviewed by Prof. Patrick Forterre, Dr. Stephen John Aves (nominated by Dr. Purificacion Lopez-Garcia) and Prof. Martijn Huynen.For the full reviews, see the Reviewers' Comments section.The eukaryotic minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex consists of six paralogous proteins (MCM2-7) which belong to a distinct family within the AAA+ superfamily of ATPases. All MCM complex subunits are essential for cell viability and are required for the initiation of DNA replication and replication fork progression. Genetic, biochemical and structural studies have shown that the MCM complex is the replicative helicase that is responsible for the separation of the DNA strands during chromosomal replication [1,2]. However, in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that the M
Functional Genomic and Advanced Genetic Studies Reveal Novel Insights into the Metabolism, Regulation, and Biology of Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
J?rg Soppa
Abstract: The genome sequence of Haloferax volcanii is available and several comparative genomic in silico studies were performed that yielded novel insight for example into protein export, RNA modifications, small non-coding RNAs, and ubiquitin-like Small Archaeal Modifier Proteins. The full range of functional genomic methods has been established and results from transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic studies are discussed. Notably, Hfx. volcanii is together with Halobacterium salinarum the only prokaryotic species for which a translatome analysis has been performed. The results revealed that the fraction of translationally-regulated genes in haloarchaea is as high as in eukaryotes. A highly efficient genetic system has been established that enables the application of libraries as well as the parallel generation of genomic deletion mutants. Facile mutant generation is complemented by the possibility to culture Hfx. volcanii in microtiter plates, allowing the phenotyping of mutant collections. Genetic approaches are currently used to study diverse biological questions–from replication to posttranslational modification—and selected results are discussed. Taken together, the wealth of functional genomic and genetic tools make Hfx. volcanii a bona fide archaeal model species, which has enabled the generation of important results in recent years and will most likely generate further breakthroughs in the future. 1. Introduction On the one hand, biology tries to represent the biodiversity that is found in nature; in contrast to other natural sciences such as physics, this makes it nearly impossible to derive general rules. On the other hand, biology has profited tremendously from studies of so-called "model species," for example, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis for Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe for fungi, Drosophila melanogaster for developmental biology, and, increasingly, the mouse for higher eukaryotes. Therefore, it is desirable to have a few model species for the third domain of life, the Archaea, and Haloferax volcanii has already been discussed as a suitable candidate [1]. There has been rapid progress in understanding the biology of Hfx. volcanii in the last five years. Therefore, results obtained in recent years will be reviewed here, with attention to (1) "functional genomics," that is, the bioinformatic analysis of the genome sequence, transcriptomics, translatomics, proteomics, and metabolomics and (2) the genetic system of Hfx. volcanii and its application in characterizing a
Two new families of the FtsZ-tubulin protein superfamily implicated in membrane remodeling in diverse bacteria and archaea
Kira S Makarova, Eugene V Koonin
Biology Direct , 2010, DOI: 10.1186/1745-6150-5-33
Abstract: This article was reviewed by Purificación López-García and Gáspár Jékely; for complete reviews, see the Reviewers Reports section.Proteins of the actin and tubulin superfamilies are major components of the cytoskeleton in all 3 domains of life, archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes [1,2]. FtsZ, the prokaryotic homolog of the eukaryotic cytoskeletal protein tubulin, is an essential protein that plays a central role in cell division of most bacteria and archaea [2-4]. Both FtsZ and tubulin undergo GTP- hydrolysis-dependent cycles of polymerization and depolymerization. Structural and biochemical analysis of both FtsZ and tubulin revealed mechanisms and structural determinants of GTP-binding and polymerization [5-7]. Recent progress in genome sequencing revealed numerous FtsZ paralogs, especially in archaea; some of these proteins lack the sequence motifs known to be important for the FtsZ-tubulin function, so their biological roles in the respective organisms remain obscure [8]. Furthermore, highly diverged FtsZ homologs were discovered on plasmids in several Bacillus species. These proteins, RepX from the pXO1 plasmid of Bacillus anthracis and TubZ from the Bacillus thuringiensis virulence plasmid pBtoxis, are required for plasmid replication and stability [9,10]. The diversity and functional flexibility of the FtsZ/tubulin superfamily suggests that additional families might surface when more genomic sequences become available. Here we report two new FtsZ-like protein families found in archaea and bacteria. One of these families is associated with a set of genes that can be predicted to encode multiple components of a novel molecular machinery for membrane remodeling.Analysis of the gene context of cell division related genes in archaea, including serine/threonine protein kinases (PK) implicated in FtsZ phosphorylation, revealed a locus in Halorhabdus utahensis (Huta_2050-Huta_2056) that, along with 3 PK genes, encompassed 3 additional "hypothetical genes" which we furthe
Rapid Titration of Measles and Other Viruses: Optimization with Determination of Replication Cycle Length [PDF]
Boyan Grigorov, Jessica Rabilloud, Philip Lawrence, Denis Gerlier
Abstract: Background Measles virus (MV) is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family and an important human pathogen causing strong immunosuppression in affected individuals and a considerable number of deaths worldwide. Currently, measles is a re-emerging disease in developed countries. MV is usually quantified in infectious units as determined by limiting dilution and counting of plaque forming unit either directly (PFU method) or indirectly from random distribution in microwells (TCID50 method). Both methods are time-consuming (up to several days), cumbersome and, in the case of the PFU assay, possibly operator dependent. Methods/Findings A rapid, optimized, accurate, and reliable technique for titration of measles virus was developed based on the detection of virus infected cells by flow cytometry, single round of infection and titer calculation according to the Poisson's law. The kinetics follow up of the number of infected cells after infection with serial dilutions of a virus allowed estimation of the duration of the replication cycle, and consequently, the optimal infection time. The assay was set up to quantify measles virus, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) using antibody labeling of viral glycoprotein, virus encoded fluorescent reporter protein and an inducible fluorescent-reporter cell line, respectively. Conclusion Overall, performing the assay takes only 24–30 hours for MV strains, 12 hours for VSV, and 52 hours for HIV-1. The step-by-step procedure we have set up can be, in principle, applicable to accurately quantify any virus including lentiviral vectors, provided that a virus encoded gene product can be detected by flow cytometry.


A difficult zipper makes getting dressed or packing a bag a much harder chore than it needs to be. Instead of wondering whether the zipper will cooperate and move the next time you use it, perform much-needed maintenance on it by lubricating its teeth. Waxy substances, graphite and even soap may be used to keep that zipper sliding smoothly. Use as little of the chosen lubricant as possible to help prevent stains on your zippered materials.
Wax from an unlit candle lubricates stuck zippers without creating much of a mess. Grab a loose taper candle, birthday candle or votive; any candle not stuck inside of a holder or glass will suffice. Rub the candle over the teeth of the zipper slightly above and below the slide on a stuck zipper; then jiggle the slide until it moves freely through both waxed areas. If the slide isn't stuck but just difficult to zip and unzip, rub the wax over all the teeth over the entire length of the zipper, limiting the wax to the teeth rather than over the fabric parts of the zipper or beyond the zipper area. Zip and unzip the item slowly and smoothly several times to help work the wax through the teeth. Brush off excess wax with your hand. If you do not have a candle handy, rub the corner of a dry bar of soap on the zipper instead, wiping the excess soap off with a soft cloth or paper towel afterwards.
Liquid dish soap, used as minimally as possible, lubricates stubborn or stuck zippers. Squirt a small amount of the soap onto a cotton swab; then swab the zipper teeth slightly above and below the zipper slide. Wiggle the slide through the lubricated areas; then continue lubricating the zipper teeth an inch or so at a time. Work the zipper slide over the entire length of the zipper once it has been completely lubricated with soap. Dab the excess soap off with paper towels afterwards to prevent the soap from dripping onto other areas of the zippered item.
The "lead" in a regular pencil -- actually graphite, not lead -- is a natural lubricant that's excellent for zippers of all types. Rub a somewhat dull pencil over interlocked zipper teeth; then move the slider to zip and unzip the item, working the graphite through the interlocking zipper part. Powdered graphite sold in a tube may also be used to lubricate a zipper, but it is much messier than using a pencil and may mark or stain light-colored items.
Lip balm lubricates zippers much in the same way that it lubricates lips. Select a balm that contains no lip tints, as these dyes may stain the fabric surrounding the zipper. Rub a tube-style lip balm over the zipper teeth using as little as possible at first, working the zipper slider through the lubricated area to spread the balm around. If your lip balm isn't in a tube, dip your finger or a cotton swab in the balm to apply it to the zipper teeth. Limit the balm to the toothed area of the zipper to prevent stains. Wipe away excess balm after the zipper is lubricated.

Just the Story, Ma'am.
by Paul Waldman
Last week I asked why reporters don't more often ask candidates, "What exactly are you talking about?" when they make sweeping claims about things like our freedoms being taken away. And last night, Rachel Maddow's program featured her doing just that when talking to some Joe Miller supporters out waving signs on an Alaska street corner. It's a pretty telling exchange:
Keep in mind that these are folks who are so mad about this particular issue, and so fervent in their defense of their Second Amendment rights, that they're out on a corner talking to people about it. One supporter says they're mad at Lisa Murkowski because she voted to confirm Attorney General Eric Holder. Maddow asks why they're against that, and they all chime in that Holder is "the most anti-gun Attorney General this country has ever had." Maddow politely asks a simple question: "What's he done against guns?" And the guy is stumped -- he can't come up with anything. Maddow turns to another sign-waver and ask her the same question. She replies, "I don't have all the facts but I know that he is anti-gun." Maddow presses gently to see if there's anything specific they're mad about, and then a new Miller supporter steps in to aver that what she's mad at Holder about is "the voter intimidation with the Black Panthers."
Now we're getting somewhere. You might be saying, "Wait -- those two crazy guys from the New Black Panther Party, who stood outside a polling place in Philadelphia with sticks on an Election Day in 2006 -- they're going to steal the election in Alaska?" But as Maddow explains, "This is the world that Fox News has created."
Those two Black Panther guys sure do get around. They're not just in Alaska, they're in Texas too -- not actually them, of course, but their specter. Now let's take a look at this article in today's New York Times, about this year's iteration of the biennial Republican efforts to suppress the votes of minorities and low-income people.
Houston Votes, whose registration drive has mostly focused on Latino neighborhoods, did find at least one paid canvasser submitting fraudulent applications, Mr. George said, and that person was immediately fired. He added that the groups' financing for voter registration work had dried up because of insinuations by the King Street Patriots that Houston Votes was tied to the New Black Panther Party.
"Houston Votes has nothing whatsoever to do with the Black Panthers," Mr. George said. "But you make a claim like that, and funding dries up, even if the claim isn't true."
Mr. George explained that during a meeting, the King Street Patriots had shown a picture of the Houston Votes office and stated its address before adding that this was the new location of the Black Panthers.
So how is it that the New Black Panther case -- this one tiny incident involving two guys, in which no actual voters who were intimidated could be identified, and which George W. Bush's Justice Department thought was a nothingburger -- has become so important? The simple story is that it has been featured on Fox News literally hundreds of times. Because if there's anything they understand, it's the power of storytelling, and a good story needs a villain. "Democrats are trying to steal the election" is an old story, one that is used to justify all manner of efforts to suppress minority votes. The New Black Panther guys put a face on that story -- a threatening, angry, black face. And when you've got that, whether there's any actual voter fraud going on doesn't really matter. Just like with the story "Eric Holder is coming to take your guns away," there don't have to be any facts. It's all about the story.

It was the final meeting of the group that was launching the Project Baseline study — a massive enterprise whose goal is to map the many factors that influence human health. The project — a joint effort of Stanford Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, Verily and Google — plans to enroll some 10,000 participants over the next few years.
On Monday afternoon, a team of researchers crowded around a conference table at Stanford, putting the finishing touches on plans for inducting and welcoming the very first participant. The next morning, a single person would formally enter the study and begin a two-day round of exams. The results would establish a baseline of health for that participant for a multi-year study. And more participants would soon follow.
At the first station, the participant would be welcomed, sign consent forms and have his blood pressure and other vitals measured. "We need to make sure that room is clean and the blood pressure machine is ready to go," said one team member at the table.
Then it would be off to the restroom for a clean-catch urine sample.
But what would happen if that first participant couldn't provide a urine sample first thing in the morning? The team needed a system for polite nagging and keeping track of whether that urine sample had actually been collected before a deadline of 2 PM on the first day, when it had to be ready for analysis. Importantly, which bathroom should volunteers use and how could the Baseline team keep other people in their research building from occupying that bathroom at critical moments?
Then, if all went according to plan, the participant would head for the "devices room," where each Project Baseline study participant will be fitted with a wrist-worn monitor; then the blood draw room, the eye exam room and a test of lung function in a transparent spirometry box.
Two days later, the team celebrated the "first participant in" with a celebration on the patio outside the building in the Palo Alto sunshine. Ken Mahaffey, MD, vice chair of clinical research for Stanford's Department of Medicine and a PI for the Project Baseline study, grinned in relief. "What a phenomenal accomplishment by a terrific team with a fantastic participant to start our exploration of health and disease," he said.
The first volunteer in had gone perfectly. But it was no wonder. The team planning it had left nothing to chance, discussing every specific from which staff should wear white lab coats to whether the volunteer's chest hair would need to be shaved for the EKG. The answer to the latter point? Probably not.
"But don't hesitate to shave him because we need really good data!" said Sue Swope, RN MS, a clinical research manager for Project Baseline.
Stanford is officially ready to accept more participants for the Project Baseline study. The Stanford team will begin their detailed evaluations of the health of up to four participants at a time beginning in early July.

Restaurant Review: Koh Noi Thai Tapas, Winchester
Out of most of the popular cuisines, the one I have to admit I'm less familiar with is Thai - although I absolutely love the flavours of Thai dishes, it's not something I cook at home very often (with the exception of green curry!) and I don't sample a lot of Thai food when out and about. So I was very excited to try out Koh Noi in Winchester on date night - the concept was Thai tapas, and I wasn't too sure what to expect. I know Spanish tapas which I love - especially shared with friends over a bottle of wine, or Sangria.
Koh Noi is located right in the centre of Winchester, and once through the doors you are transported to a cosy lit Thai restaurant with friendly faces and a wide selection of dishes. You know you're in for a treat when your fiancé (who is slightly obsessed with Thailand) says it smells just like the local cuisine. YUM.
So what was the concept of Thai tapas? At the top of the menu there was a selection of Thai tapas riches like chicken satay, spring rolls, squid, prawns, ribs, dumplings, and much more; but on the main menu, you could also select curries and other dishes to be served tapas style - smaller portions to share. But the restaurant isn't exclusive to tapas - you can order starters, mains, and speciality dishes.
We obviously went for the tapas option because we wanted to sample different dishes and tastes so we decided to go for - are you ready for this?:
- 24hr Ribs
- Dim Sum (prawn and pork)
- Koh's Own Chicken Satay
- Koh's Special Crispy Squid
- Jungle Curry with Chicken
- Pork Penang Curry
- Spicy Prawn Noodles
It was a delicious feast of flavours and I was so excited. Paired with wine for me, and a Thai beer for the Mr. we tucked into the dishes in front of us - I had to try the dim sum first because I absolutely love steamed dumplings! They're one of my favourite Asian dishes and these did not disappoint - especially with the chilli and soy dressing. The squid was tender and full of flavour - my second favourite dish on the table - although everything was great! Meat fell of the 24hr ribs; and the chicken satay was absolutely delicious. There were elements of spice in some dishes, but it was a nice kick which then faded so you could enjoy the flavours of the meal.
The curries were very special too - full of flavour, kick, the perfect portion size. I need to mention that the Jungle Curry is the hottest curry on the menu (and the waitresses do let you know that!) but although it is one spicy curry, it's the kind of spice that flavours as well as burns - which is the best kind of spice. It lived up to its reputation - the Jungle Curry was very hot, yet very good at the same time.
What really surprised me is the size of the portions - they were very generous which was a nice surprise! What puts me off tapas sometimes is how small the portions are, but these were very nice portions and you could definitely share a few dishes between a group of friends - or do what we did and enjoy a different kind of date night!
We finished the evening by splitting a dessert - the meal was filling and we were content, but who can say no to a marbled chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream?! Only a fool would say no to that. And the dessert didn't disappoint! It was delicious and we polished everything off the plate.
So how was my experience of Thai tapas, a trend I'm seeing pop up in more towns and cities? It was great and I would recumbent it to anyone! I really enjoyed the concept of smaller dishes, and I loved experiencing a variety of Thai flavours in an atmospheric venue.

Severo Bonini (23 December 1582 – 5 December 1663) was an Italian composer, organist, and writer on music.

He was born in Florence and became a Benedictine monk. He studied singing with Giulio Caccini. He served as organist in Forlì from 1613 and held a number of other posts before returning to Florence in 1640 where he was maestro di cappella and organist at Santa Trinita until his death. He died in Florence.

He published several books of music, including motets and madrigals. He wrote music in the new monodic style. His treatise Prima parte de' discorsi e regole sovra la musica (1649–1650) is an important source of information on contemporary composers and the rise of monody and opera.

In Clive, Ethan Hawke plays a washed-up rocker who's always drunk and is the worst with women. When we spoke to Chloë Sevigny at the show's opening last night, we asked her if she'd ever dated a guy like that herself. "I definitely dated my share of addicts," she told us. (Her companion for the evening, Natasha Lyonne, chimed in: "I've been with my own share of addicts.") As for Sevigny's take on dating musicians in general, drugs aside: "They're all equally as narcissistic and unattractive," she told us. "One likes to be ignored sometimes, but it gets stale. I'm not so masochistic anymore." Sorry, every guy with a guitar in Brooklyn — you're not going to date Chloë Sevigny after all.

Franciscus Maria Leopoldus Daels (Antwerpen, 7 januari 1882 – Gent, 22 december 1974) werd geboren in het huis Sint Paulusplaats 14 te Antwerpen, het woonhuis van zijn ouders, apotheker Petrus Daels en Maria Verellen. Hij was een Vlaams arts en politicus. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Daels door de krijgsraad van Gent veroordeeld wegens collaboratie met de Duitsers,

Daels volgde de middelbare school aan het Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege en studeerde geneeskunde aan de universiteiten van Leuven en Gent. Aan de laatste was hij in 1906-1907 assistent bij Jean-François Heymans; vervolgens was hij twee jaar assistent aan de vrouwenkliniek van de Charité (Berlijn) en werkte twee jaar als assistent bacteriologie bij Émile Van Ermengem in Gent. Vanaf 1911 was hij aan de laatste universiteit docent en van 1919 tot 1944 hoogleraar verloskunde en gynaecologie.  Hij verrichtte baanbrekend onderzoek naar kanker, met name tijdens zijn latere gedwongen verblijf in Zwitserland.

Vlaamse beweging en collaboratie

Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog verbleef hij als legerarts aan het IJzerfront. Daar was Daels getuige van de gebrekkige communicatie tussen Franstalige officieren en Vlaamse soldaten, wat ertoe leidde dat veel jonge Vlamingen er onnodig het leven lieten. In die tijd speelde hij een vooraanstaande rol in de Frontbeweging. Zo richtte hij het Secretariaat der Katholieke Vlaamse Hoogstudenten (SKVH) op en was hij medestichter van Heldenhulde. Hij schreef ook meerdere artikels in De Belgische Standaard. Ook na de Eerste Wereldoorlog bleef Daels actief in de Vlaamse Beweging. Hij ijverde onder meer voor de vernederlandsing van de Gentse universiteit, organiseerde de Vlaamse Wetenschappelijke Congressen en stichtte de Vereniging voor Wetenschappen. In 1924 richtte hij met Jozef Goossenaerts in het arrondissement Gent de Katholiek-Christelijke Volkspartij voor Vlaanderen op, die bij de parlementsverkiezingen van 1925 weinig succes kende.  Daarnaast was hij de eerste voorzitter van het IJzerbedevaartcomité van 1924 tot 1943. In 1932 werd hij ondervoorzitter van de Vereniging van Gentsche Hoogleraars voor Ontwapening en Bevordering van het Internationaal Rechtsbeginsel; in de loop van de dertiger jaren werd hij politiek radicaler door het succes van het Vlaams Nationaal Verbond.

Na de Duitse inval in België meende Daels dat de bezetter via de Flamenpolitik de Vlaamse Beweging en ook het Grootneerlandisme gunstig gezind was; in september 1940 werd hij lid van de Raad van Leiding, een adviesraad van het VNV. In augustus had hij (in het dagblad Volk en Staat) al maatregelen geëist tegen de professoren die aanvankelijk naar Frankrijk waren gevlucht en vervolgens teruggekeerd (de zogenaamde Toulouse-professoren, waaronder 70 van de RUG). In de zomer van 1941 engageerde hij zich om een veldhospitaal te leiden bij het Vlaams Legioen, de vrijwilligerseenheid van Vlamingen aan het oostfront, waarvoor hij aanvankelijk ook actief propaganda maakte. Toen in 1943 bleek dat het Vlaams Legioen als Sturmbrigade Langemarck in de Waffen-SS streed, trok Daels zich terug en scherpte hij zijn kritische houding tegenover het VNV aan. Eind 1942 had hij al ontslag genomen als lid van de Raad van Leiding en in december 1943 deed hij dit als gewoon lid. Op 6 mei 1943 vond ten huize van Daels een bijeenkomst met Hendrik Elias plaats, waarbij ook de geestelijken Alfons Van Assche en Jozef Van Opdenbosch aanwezig waren; ze probeerden tevergeefs Elias ervan te overtuigen de collaboratie te stoppen en op 20 juli schreef hij hierover in een vertrouwelijke brief aan Elias: "Wij moeten ootmoedig erkennen dat wij bedrogen zijn geweest".

Bij de bevrijding van België in 1944 vluchtte hij met de hulp van verschillende kerkelijke instanties naar Zwitserland. Op 20 juni 1946 werd Daels door de krijgsraad van Gent, wegens collaboratie, van de Belgische nationaliteit vervallen verklaard en bij verstek ter dood veroordeeld. Hierop werden de familiebezittingen in beslag genomen, waaronder gronden en een villa in Knokke. In 1959 mocht Daels naar België terugkeren. Zijn veroordeling was omgezet in 15 jaar gevangenis, maar door bemiddeling van Gaston Eyskens werd hij hiervan ontslagen.

In 1935 werd hij doctor honoris causa van de universiteit van Keulen; in 1959 ontving hij de titel Lauréat de l'Académie de Médecine in Frankrijk.

In zijn aan het volk gerichte publicaties duiken regelmatig waardeoordelen zonder wetenschappelijke fundering op.

Gezin
Daels trouwde in 1908 met Joanna Vercauteren (1887-1967). Ze kregen acht kinderen.

Hij was de vader van Paul Daels (1921-1988) die voorzitter was van het IJzerbedevaartcomité. Andere zonen waren kunstschilder/geograaf Luc Daels (1929-2021) en de gynaecoloog José Daels (1914-2010). Deze laatste was onder meer voorzitter van het Vlaams Kruis en voorzitter van het college van medisch adviseurs van gynaecologen van Kind en Gezin.

Hard-liners on both sides of Northern Ireland's sectarian divide beat moderates Friday in provincial elections, official results showed, damaging hopes of saving the power-sharing assembly set up under a 1998 peace deal.
The Democratic Unionist Party of firebrand Protestant the Rev. Ian Paisley emerged as the group with the most seats in the mothballed legislature.
Among Catholic voters, Sinn Fein, political ally of the Irish Republican Army guerrilla group, thrashed the moderate Social Democratic and Labor Party, completing a sharp polarization of the political landscape in the British-ruled province.
Britain and Ireland had hoped that a good showing for moderates would aid efforts to restore the assembly, suspended since October 2002 when allegations of IRA spying brought down the fragile coalition.
Instead, the extremes of Protestant unionism, which seeks to preserve Northern Ireland's political union with Britain, and Catholic nationalism, which seeks a united Ireland, appear likely to guarantee continued direct rule from London.

Skokie Principal Habeeb Quadri Receives National Distinguished Principal Award
By Ryan Baker October 10, 2019 at 8:29 am
Filed Under:Habeeb Quadri, Muslim Community Center Career Academy, National Distinguished Principal Award, Skokie
CHICAGO (CBS) — A principal in Skokie has made his students extremely excited as he is receiving the National Distinguished Principal Award in Washington, D.C., Thursday.
Principal Habeeb Quadri is in his 16th year as principal at the Muslim Community Center Career Academy in Skokie, and the kids love him there.
The private school is thriving, now enrolling more than 740 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Mostly Muslim, the school represents 27 different countries.
Quadri calls Chicago home and grew up attending Chicago Public Schools.
"For an individual who grew up first generation Muslim American, for me I really wanted our kids to see that this is a great country, and there's great opportunity, and there is nothing wrong with being comfortable with who you are and still be an American citizen," Quadri said.
"He really does deserve this award," said fifth grader Ens Latic. "I've been here for six years, and every single time that I see him he always puts a smile on my face."
Quadri is also a cancer survivor and is a humble leader, stating the award he's receiving is the work of the entire staff and his community.
The National Association of Elementary School Principals is giving out the award.
The Skokie school is one of only four chosen.

A car bomb exploded near a foreign compound in the east of Kabul on Monday, wounding more than 40 people, officials said, in the latest attack to rock the Afghan capital.
"Residential houses nearby have sustained heavy damages," Danish said.
The latest attack comes as US peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad visits the region for meetings aimed at bringing an end to the war in Afghanistan, which by some estimates was the world's deadliest conflict zone in 2018.


After potluck, Gem and I headed down the street to check out the houses at Vista Ridge the subdivision. We wandered through five of the model homes corresponding to one builder and were generally disturbed by the huge master bedrooms and the tiny other bedrooms. (We believe our children should not be cheated in that manner.) Most of the master suites lacked a door between the bedroom and the bathroom, which seemed like a dubious idea to me, since one or the other of us might get up significantly earlier than the other. Gem liked the color of the interior decorating; the dark colors worked well for her.
When I wasn't playing Metroid Prime yesterday afternoon, evening, and night, Gem and I journeyed to our local cinema multiplex to view Along Came Polly, which I thought was immensely amusing (although I could have done without the third-grade toilet humor), and Gem marginally tolerated, promising to drag me along to see 50 First Dates, which I'm especially dubious about given the star. We'll have to see.
For our valentine's day celebration, Gem and I are going to spend entirely too much money going to eat at The Cheesecake Factory, which I've heard is good but haven't quite made it to just yet.


As you are all aware, Google has implemented website previews in the results. The previews show a screenshot of a site and will call out any text on the page related to your search query. This makes onpage SEO even more important than before and also presents some unique challenges for websites with flash.
Google's preview bot doesn't obey the rules like Google's normal bot. The preview bot ignores robots.txt rules and disregards alternate flash displaying big blank chunks instead. I am running a Google Preview test right now to show that a website can still have something show up in place of their flash piece even though Google won't display the alternate content you define in SWFObject. As soon as the page is cached and has a preview I will publish a post with the findings, the code that works, and the reason you cannot afford to ignore this "glitch" in Google's Preview bot no matter how temporary it might be.
