Vitamin D research holds promise for new MS treatments
A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is a hard lot. Patients typically get the diagnosis around age 30 after experiencing a series of neurological problems such as blurry vision, wobbly gait or a numb foot. From there, this neurodegenerative disease follows an unforgiving course.
Many people with MS start using some kind of mobility aid — cane, walker, scooter or wheelchair — by 45 or 50, and those with the most severe cases are typically bed-bound by 60. The medications that are currently available don't do much to slow the relentless march of the disease.
Discovery of new enzyme could yield better plants for biofuel
For nearly a decade, scientists have thought that they understood how plants produce lignin — a compound that gives plant tissues their structure and sturdiness, but can limit their use as a source of biofuels.
Now, thanks to a collaboration involving the U.S. Department of Energy Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and several international institutions, researchers have identified a new gene responsible for producing a previously unknown enzyme that is central to lignin synthesis. The breakthrough, which was recently published in Science (6 Sept. 2013, vol 341 #6150),...
Unprecedented genome editing control in flies promises insight into human development, disease
In an era of widespread genetic sequencing, the ability to edit and alter an organism's DNA is a powerful way to explore the information within and how it guides biological function. A paper from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the August issue of the journal GENETICS takes genome editing to a new level in fruit flies, demonstrating a remarkable level of fine control and, importantly, the transmission of those engineered genetic changes across generations.

Production Starts for the Upcoming Sequel "Creed II"
Warner Bros and MGM recently announced that production has started for "Creed II". The film stars Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson and is being executive produced by Ryan Coogler.
"Creed II" is slated to hit theaters on November 21st.
Production begins today in Philadelphia on Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures (MGM) and Warner Bros. Pictures' Creed II, starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, reprising their roles of Adonis Creed and Rocky Balboa respectively. Creed II is the continuation of the Rocky saga and sequel to the 2015 critically acclaimed and crowd-pleasing 2015 hit Creed, which took in more than $170 million at the worldwide box office. Ryan Coogler (Black Panther), who directed the first film, returns to the franchise as an executive producer on Creed II. The new film is being directed by Steven Caple Jr., who helmed the acclaimed 2016 drama The Land.
"When I wrote and directed Creed, I wanted to tell a human story about a family from a new perspective, while also paying homage to the Rocky characters we've all grown up knowing and loving. I've known Steven was an amazing filmmaker since our days at USC film school together, so I can't wait to see what he, Sly, Mike and Tessa bring to this next chapter," said Coogler.
Caple Jr. said, "It's an honor to be a part of the franchise and work with such a thoughtful team. I got involved because I've always been a Rocky fan and I enjoy stories with heart and substance. But when Ryan put his touch on Creed I felt another level of connection to the franchise. It started to feel personal for many different reasons. This next Creed is a tale beyond the boxing ring and dives deep into family, legacy, and fears. I'm excited to share my view and collaborate with the talented cast and crew."
"Ryan and Steven are voices for their generation and their shared vision for Creed has brought the Rocky franchise to an entirely new audience. We know audiences will continue to embrace the legacy that Sly created so many years ago," said producer Irwin Winkler.
Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family's past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what's worth fighting for, and discover that nothing's more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can't escape your history.
Also reprising their roles from the first film are Tessa Thompson as Bianca, Phylicia Rashad as Mary Anne, Wood Harris as Tony 'Little Duke' Burton, and Andre Ward as Danny 'Stuntman' Wheeler. The new cast is rounded out with Florian "The Big Nasty" Munteanu as Viktor Drago, Dolph Lundgren returning to the role of Ivan Drago, and Russell Hornsby as Buddy Marcelle. Creed II will be distributed theatrically in the U.S. by MGM on November 21, 2018, and Warner Bros. Pictures will distribute the film internationally.
Caple Jr. directs from an original screenplay written by Stallone based on characters from the Rocky franchise. The film is produced by Irwin Winkler, Charles Winkler, William Chartoff, David Winkler, Kevin King-Templeton and Stallone. Coogler, Jordan and Guy Riedel will executive produce.
Collaborating with Caple Jr. is a creative team led by director of photography Kramer Morgenthau (Thor: The Dark World, Game of Thrones); production designer Franco Carbone (The Expendables, Billionaire Boys Club); costume designers Lizz Wolf (A Single Man, Dreamgirls); art director Jesse Rosenthal (Black Panther, Trumbo); fight coordinator Daniel Hernandez (Avengers: Infinity War, The Fate of the Furious); technical boxing advisor Robert Sale (Grudge Match, Ali); special effects coordinator Patrick White (Baby Driver, Deepwater Horizon) and VFX producer Crystal Dowd (Straight Outta Compton, Pitch Perfect 2). Filming will take place primarily in Philadelphia with additional locations in New Mexico.
Creed, directed by Coogler, was released by Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema in November 2015 and went on to garner many honors for Stallone, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.

Q: Can we paint the plane in two colors such that there is no square of the same color? We have our every day plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ which we want to paint using two colors in such a way that no four points form a square of the same color. This means that for any square on the plane its vertices have different colors.
Is it possible to paint a plane in such a way?

Mohamed Al Fayed has yet to discuss a prospective season in Europe for Fulham with his manager, Roy Hodgson, but the chat is surely imminent. When the Harrods owner studies the table he will note his club are seventh, good enough for qualification, with a two-point lead over West Ham and a goal difference that stands six better, which could prove crucial.
It would mean the sometimes parsimonious Fayed might have to add to a squad which is one of the Premier League's smallest. Hodgson admitted to a cursory chat with the chairman a fortnight ago regarding player recruitment, but says Europe was not discussed.
"I've got to say that in all the conversations we've never mentioned [the Europa League]," said the 61-year-old after a convincing win over Stoke City. "We talk about improving, we talk about making certain, about winning as many games as we can, but never once has he said to me, 'I would like to see the team in Europe'. But I'm sure he would – if you ask him the question. I don't want to speak for him."
Hodgson could thank a 20th-minute back injury to Bobby Zamora for their latest three points. Erik Nevland came on and his impact was almost immediate. The 31-year-old had managed only 120 minutes of Premier League football so far this year but after adding nine more, he smashed Andrew Johnson's cross beyond Thomas Sorenson.
Nevland, a Norway striker with six caps who a few moons ago played five times and scored once for Manchester United, is also calm about Europe. "It is good feeling getting on and scoring the winner is great. I hope I can just keep doing that. It [was] a good, hard-fought win – they taste good. If we can just keep it up, you never know what's going to happen," he said. And the dressing room? "We don't even think about it. We just do as well as we can and if that's good enough for Europe, that'll be great. There are other teams in the mix as well, so we have to concentrate on ourselves."
But could the Europa League be too much progression, too soon, for a club that only just survived the drop last season? "You never know. You can play in Europe with the squad we have got so it shouldn't be a problem. [But] it's hard for me to say. The manager knows what he needs. He will handle that with great care."
Brede Hangeland, Nevland's countryman, was pivotal to the afternoon's success, out-muscling Ricardo Fuller, and would be needed if there is a European campaign. Yet the defender, who has played 44 times for Norway, is rumoured to be leaving this summer.
"You see today that when you play a team like Stoke, he is dominant in the air and that is important. . . he's a great player and important for this club," Nevland said. But asked if Hangeland will be around next season, he was hardly convincing. "I speak to Brede every day. He enjoys it at Fulham, so let's hope he stays."
Stoke City, eight points above the drop, are still firm favourites to extend their own visit to this division beyond their debut season. Yet Liam Lawrence, who was ineffective from his wide right position against Fulham, knows more points are still required.
"I don't want to have to come in and say, 'how have Sunderland got on, how have Hull got on?'. I want to be able to forget about that. One win or a couple of points [should] keep us up."


For those who are serving their sentence in a Tennessee state prison, they are overseen by the Tennessee Department of Corrections (DOC). Through a centralized inmate database, you can easily search for an inmate in any Tennessee state prison.
Although you can find inmates who are in federal prison through the DOC website, you will not be able to find those in county jails, police jails, or city jails. You will need to go to their websites.
Below, you will find information about the Tennessee DOC, how to search for an inmate, and how to stay in contact with your loved one.
The mission of the Tennessee Department of Corrections is to be the best correctional facility in the states by operating safe and secure prisons and provide effective community supervision to enhance public safety.
In order to stay in communication with an inmate or send money, you will need to gather some information from an inmate search.
Head on over to the Tennessee DOC homepage. Under the heading State Prisons, you will find the Foil-offender search link. It is the last link under that heading. Click on it.
You can search online, or you can download an app. Click search now. You can then do a search by name, TOMIS ID, or state ID.
You will want to write down any information the search gives you about the inmate including: their TOMIS ID, facility location, and birth date. Click location to find which facility the inmate is located in.
Mail: To send mail to an offender, you will need to know their committed name, TOMIS ID, and the name and address of the facility where the offender is being housed.
Phone/email: Inmates are allowed to call family and friends through collect calls. If you have a cell phone, you will want to set up a prepaid account through the Connect Network to receive calls. You can also set up an account to send and receive electronic messages.
Visits:Inmates are allowed visitation on specific days at specific times. Contact the prison the inmate is located at to get information on visitation.
An offender may need money to purchase certain things from the prison. There are a few ways you can get money to an inmate.
You can send money using a credit card or debit card only with JPay. However, you can also send a money order or moneygram to with a deposit slip to JPay P.O. Box 279010, Miramar, FL, 33027.
It is important to follow all rules, procedures, and regulations. This keeps you, the offender, and workers safe.

Local Cheshire Democratic women (and men) gathered in front of Cheshire Town Hall on Route 10 on Saturday to unite and show solidarity for Hillary Clinton and local Democrat candidates at the Nasty Women of Cheshire Rally.
The rally was sponsored by the Cheshire Democratic Town Committee and Cheshire Democratic Women's Club. It was considered a huge success with dozens of supporters holding "Nasty" signs and waving to people in passing cars with many motorists tooting their horns in support.
One person on hand was CDTC chairman Ernie DiPietro.
"It was a great turnout and very uplifting to see all the support for our Democrat candidates," DiPietro said.
The event was one of several "Nasty" rallies held nationwide. They were the result of a statement that hit home hard with female Democrats when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton "such a nasty woman" in the third and last presidential debate.
The statement has become a rallying cry for Clinton female supporters nationwide.
One person impacted by the "nasty woman" statement is former Cheshire Town Councilor Diane Visconti who organized the rally with CDTC member Kathy Yacavone.
"This rally was organized and came about because it was absurd and bizarre for Donald Trump to call Hillary Clinton a nasty woman," Visconti said. "It's great to see all the support for the rally."
Other notable politicians who were at the "Nasty" rally were state Representative candidate Pat Reynolds (90th District) and Cheshire Town Councilor Patti Flynn-Harris.

The Economists' Hour (part 3)
Binyamin Appelbaum calls the period from 1969 to 2008 the "Economists' Hour" because of the unprecedented influence professional economists had over public policy during those years. At the same time, within the economics profession and in public policy discussions, the government activism of Keynesian economics was giving way to the free-market conservatism advocated by Milton Friedman and the Chicago school.
The "Great Moderation"
The latter part of this era, beginning around 1985, goes by another name in economics, the "Great Moderation." That was a time when both inflation and unemployment were at lower rates than during the stagflation of the 1970s. Unemployment did rise during the recessions of 1990-1991 and 2001, but not as severely as during the recession of 1981-1982, when the Federal Reserve was putting the brakes on the economy to tame inflation.
Not surprisingly, free-market economists attributed the Great Moderation to the success of their recommended policies—lower taxes, less market regulation, and both fiscal and monetary restraint on the part of government. Appelbaum is skeptical, suggesting that other forces were at work. "The 'peace dividend' from the end of the Cold War made it easier to reduce federal spending; globalization weighed on wages and prices [that is, global competition made wage and price hikes harder]; new technologies drove a surge in productivity and prosperity." He also points out what wasn't so great about those years—relatively slow economic growth, increasing inequality of wealth and income, and reduced public investment in future growth.
The financial crisis
In his assessment, Appelbaum has the benefit of hindsight, since he knows that this period of economic history ended in disaster, the greatest financial collapse since 1929 and the deepest recession since the depression of the 1930s. "The Economists' Hour did not survive the Great Recession…. In the depths of the Great Recession, only the most foolhardy purists continued to insist that markets should be left to their own devices."
Appelbaum's account of what went wrong focuses on developments in the expanding financial services industry. The bank failures of the 1930s had led government to impose stricter regulations, including limits on the interest rates banks could pay depositors or charge borrowers. When other interest rates spiked after the Federal Reserve started tightening the money supply in 1979, pressure from both consumer groups and bankers led Congress to deregulate bank rates. In the previous year, the Supreme Court ruled that credit card companies could charge whatever interest rate was allowed in the state in which they were headquartered, even if they did business nationwide. Financial institutions rushed to locate in states with the most permissive rules, and states competed for their business on that basis.
In addition to relaxing old regulations, governments failed to develop new regulations to keep up with financial innovation. The prevailing view that financial markets were efficient and self-regulating encouraged policymakers to leave them alone. The riskiest innovations were new forms of derivatives—securities whose value depended in some complex way on the fluctuating value of an underlying asset. Instead of buying and selling real estate, investors could buy and sell packages of mortgage loans. They could even invest in a derivative that represented a bet that such packaged loans would either gain or lose value. The gains and losses from derivative investments could be many times the gains and losses from trading in the assets on which they were based.
When Brooksley Born was appointed head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission by President Clinton, she began to advocate for the regulation of derivatives. She was opposed, however, by Fed Chair Alan Greenspan, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, and SEC chair Arthur Levitt. In 2000, Senator Phil Gramm quietly inserted a provision to prohibit such regulation into a broader bill, which passed without much notice.
Signs of the financial trouble ahead appeared early in this period of financial deregulation—or non-regulation. Many Savings & Loans failed between 1986 and 1995 after being bought by financial speculators and swindlers. (The failures cost the taxpayers over $100 billion, since the deposits were federally insured.) Risky investments in derivatives led to bankruptcies like Orange County, California in 1994 and Long-Term Capital Management in 1998. But it was the housing boom of 2003-2006 that encouraged the most dangerous behavior. In their zeal to profit from the boom, financial institutions engaged in subprime lending on a massive scale, lending to borrowers who didn't qualify for traditional fixed-rate mortgages but could be sold more complicated loans with the potential for spiking monthly payments. Lenders could disguise the shakiness of the individual loans by selling them off in packages that were assumed to minimize risk, just like a diversified stock portfolio. The packages were then overrated and even insured by companies willing to bet on their continuing value. When the bubble of inflated asset prices finally burst and the 2007-2009 recession began, borrowers who owed more than their houses were now worth defaulted in large numbers, causing massive losses to investors and financial institutions.
The financial crisis and deepening recession forced the federal government to act, both to keep huge financial institutions from failing and to stimulate aggregate economic demand with federal spending. Suddenly, Keynesian ideas were dusted off and given a new look.
Larry Summers, who was installed as head of the National Economic Council [in 2009, in the Obama administration] had said in 2001 that government stimulus spending during an economic downturn was "passé" because its merits had been "disproven." In 2009 he changed his mind. When a reporter asked Summers to describe the government's plans, he responded with one word: "Keynes."
The federal stimulus plan passed by Congress in 2009 was controversial, supported by Democrats but opposed by almost every Republican. Obama himself wavered in his support for stimulus, calling for more "belt-tightening" the following year. Support for government austerity remained strong for several more years, but many economists began to believe that budget restraint was prolonging the recession. Paul Krugman and Robin Wells say in their macroeconomics text, "By 2014, the intellectual debate seemed to have gone mostly against the advocates of austerity."
The Federal Reserve also became more activist, broadening its focus on fighting inflation to include the goal of creating jobs. Not only did the Fed bring short-term interest rates down to near zero, but it tried to reduce long-term rates as well by buying up Treasury and mortgage bonds. (That has the effect of raising prices on bonds and lowering their rates, since bond prices and rates move in opposite directions.)
Appelbaum wrote this book before the 2020 pandemic and associated recession. That new crisis led both the Trump and Biden administrations to propose additional stimulus spending, further undermining the free-market position. The leading advocate of free-market economics, Milton Friedman, did not live to see either the 2008 financial crisis or the pandemic. He died in 2006.
Economies, people, and imagined futures
I will finish by citing two of the grander themes of The Economists' Hour. In his conclusion, Appelbaum says, "If you have taken anything from this book, I hope it is the knowledge markets are constructed by people, for purposes chosen by people—and they can be changed and rebuilt by people." We invented the market economy as an awesome wealth-producing machine, but it remains our invention. When we start to think of it as an autonomous machine requiring no creative human intervention, I think we reduce ourselves to cogs within the machine.
A related idea is that we must always keep one eye on whatever future we desire. Appelbaum complains that "the emphasis on growth, now, has come at the expense of the future: tax cuts delivered small bursts of sugar-high prosperity at the expense of spending on education and infrastructure."
Jonathan Levy adopts a similar perspective in his new economic history, Ages of American Capitalism, which I am currently reading. "Because a capitalist financial system is a perpetual leap of faith, over and over again, confidence becomes the emotional and psychological mainspring of economic activity." Where do we place our confidence? In the stock market, or a bank, or a technology company, or in world trade? In a country with both a capitalist economy and democratic government, are we wise to put all our confidence in markets and none in our government? Or vice versa? If the economic machine keeps breaking down, or serves the few better than the many, or seems to be pushing us towards environmental disaster, must a democratic people be precluded from trying to actualize a better future through honest political debate and collective decision-making? If a loss of faith in government gave us the "Economists' Hour," maybe some recovery of that faith can give us a wiser and more balanced approach to public policy.

Outcomes associated with a mandatory gastroenterology consultation to improve the quality of care of patients hospitalized with decompensated cirrhosis
Rony Ghaoui*, Jennifer Friderici, David J. Desilets, Tara Lagu, Paul Visintainer, Angelica Belo, Jorge Sotelo, Peter K. Lindenauer
Medicine, Hospital Medicine Division
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Patients with decompensated cirrhosis (DC) have significant morbidity and resource utilization. In a cohort of patients with DC undergoing usual care (UC) in 2009, we demonstrated that quality indicators (QI) were met <50% of the time. We established a gastroenterology mandatory consultation (MC) to improve the care of patients with DC. We sought to evaluate the impact of the MC intervention on adherence to QI, and compared outcomes to UC. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study with historic control examining all admissions in a year for DC at an academic medical center. All admissions were seen by a gastroenterologist encouraged to implement QIs (MC). Scores were calculated for each group per admission as the proportion of QIs met versus QIs for which the patient was eligible. QI scores were examined as a function of group assignment multivariable fractional logit regression. We evaluated the impact of the intervention on compliance with QIs, length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmission, and inpatient death. RESULTS: Three hundred three patients were observed in 695 hospitalizations (149 patients in 379 admissions [UC]; 154 patients in 316 admissions [MC]). The QI score was significantly higher in the MC group than the UC group (77.0% vs 46.0%, P<0.001), reflecting better management of ascites and documentation of transplant evaluation. The management of variceal bleeding improved also but did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION: The MC intervention was associated with greater adherence to recommended care but was not powered to detect difference in LOS, readmission, or mortality rates.

Spotify pulls the content of comedians fighting for royalties
Pictures: Jason Davis (Getty Images)
Although some of us may forget because we are busy laughing, Comedians, like lyricists, write content to entertain us. Although there is a difference: lyricists receive royalties for their writing, Not a comedian. In the era of streaming, comedians I hope to change this especially considering the popularity of their content Digital Platform but tHey just ran up a wall called "Spotify".
Spotify has removed the work of hundreds of comedians, including big names like John Mulani, Jim Gaffigan and Kevin Hart. The Wall Street Journal reported On saturday. Represented by Mulaney, Gaffigan, Hart, and other comedians Spoken monster, A global rights organization that is leading the fight for radio power and Digital platforms, such as Spotify, SiriusXM, Pandora, and YouTube, allow comedians to pay copyright royalties for their written work.
According to the outlet, streaming giant Spoken was in talks with the giants but could not reach an agreement. On Thanksgiving, Spotify told the Spoken Giants that the comedians representing the company would pull out all the work until they came to an agreement.
Jim King, CEO of Spoken Giants, a former executive at music rights company BMI, told Gizmodo in a statement that the company had a "clear process" to engage with digital service providers, digital platforms and radio to discuss compensation. For comedy writers. Unfortunately, he said, Spotify has removed the work of individual comedians Rather continue the discussion.
"In music, lyricist royalty is a very basic revenue stream, so it's not an unfamiliar concept and our work is based on established precedent and clear copyright language," King said. "With this take-down, individual comedians are now being punished collectively for requesting the same compensation lyricists."
King said Spokane Giants reached Spotify after removing its members' work but received no response. He added that the agency had requested an immediate meeting with Spotify to resolve the situation.
If comedy writers seem to have a fight to pay for their work Blue out, Because for a long time There was not much money Comedy was not usually played on traditional sources like radio to collect. With the advent of digital platforms, this has changed. Now comedy is playing a lot on these platforms, According to Spoken monster.
After pointing out that Spotify paid a "significant amount" for the content it dropped, a company spokesman told Gizmodo that the Spoken Giants were arguing over the rights of various licensees. Comedians are currently paid as actors through their labels or distributors. In addition, digital performance royalties are paid by SoundExchange when their work is run on a digital platform.
"Spotify has paid a significant amount for the content in question, and would like to continue to do so," said a Spotify spokesman. "However, considering what rights Spoken Giants are arguing over the rights of different licensees, it is imperative that the labels distributing this content, Spotify and Spoken Giants come together to resolve this issue to ensure that this content is available to fans around the world."
A major issue is where royalty payments will come from Spoken Giants and other rights groups, the journal noted. Spotify has closed the deal with comedians' labels and distributors, thinking it has already covered all the royalties that have to be paid. Now the spoken giants say It needs To pay royalties on writing. Apparently there are two options: Spotify can make some money by labeling its and distributors pay comedy writers, or it may pay written work royalties without touching other payments.
Considering Spotify's resistance High rate of payment To publishers and lyricists, some tell me that a big price tag would be a solid sale.

Keywords NITROGEN
Human activities have altered global nitrogen (N) deposition and fixation through fossil fuel combustion, the use of fertilizers, and increases in N-fixing agricultural crops. Mycorrhizal fungi make up a large part of the microbial biomass in terrestrial ecosystems and play a pivotal role in plant carbon and nutrient balance, supplying nutrients, including nitrogen, to host plants in exchange for carbon. This mycorrhizal symbiosis could therefore be influenced by changes in nitrogen deposition, which in turn could alter not only nutrient cycling, but also carbon cycling within an ecosystem. The main goal of my study was to assess changes in the functioning of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in an ecosystem exposed to elevated levels of nitrogen. This was addressed using four established long term research sites looking at the effects of altered N-availability in northern hardwood forests dominated by sugar maple (Acer saccharum). Sugar maple belongs to one of the few dominant north temperate tree genera that form a symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), and forms extensive stands in northern temperate biomes. The first objective was to gain basic knowledge of changes in AMF presence with N addition in northern hardwood forests. This was addressed by estimating the AMF abundance within the roots of the dominant tree species, sugar maple. The abundance was measured using a traditional root staining technique with ocular estimation, as well as analyzing roots for the AMF indicator fatty acid 16:1ω5c in phospholipid (biomass indicator) and neutral lipid (lipid storage indicator) fractions. AM fungal biomass, storage structures and lipid storage declined in response to N addition measured by both methods. This pattern was found when AM response was characterized as colonization intensity, on an areal basis and in proportion to maple aboveground biomass. The phospholipid fraction of the fatty acid 16:1ω5c was positively correlated with total AMF colonization and the neutral lipid fraction with vesicle colonization. The fatty acid (phospho- and neutral lipid fraction) 16:1ω5c was found to be a good indicator for AMF active biomass and stored energy, respectively. The observed decrease in AMF abundance in roots could be associated with 1) a decrease in all species present, 2) a change in relative abundance of the associated species, or 3) a complete change in community composition. My second objective therefore was to identify the AMF species present within the roots and their diversity among treatments. I performed molecular DNA-based AMF community analyses on maple roots targeting the 18S rDNA region using fungal specific primers. Changes in the AMF community composition were observed with N-amendment, and effects on AMF species diversity differed among sites. Over 80% of all the AMF clones present in the roots were represented by seven dominant OTU's (Operational Taxonomic Units). Some of the OTU's declined in response to N-amendment, some increased and a few were unaffected by N-amendment. Other studies on AMF species have found that some AMF taxa that are abundant at high N-levels are less beneficial or even detrimental to the host plant, which is reflected through decreased nutrient uptake efficiency or an increased carbon cost for the host plant. The actual nutrient uptake in a mycorrhizal system takes place in the extraradical mycelium of AMF. Hence, when studying nutrient cycling within ecosystems, the function of both the intra- and extraradical AMF are of importance. My third objective therefore was to study the effects of N-amendment on both intra- and extraradical AMF biomass simultaneously including the rest of the microbial biomass within the soil. Root and soil samples, taken as paired samples, were analyzed for phospho- and neutral lipid fatty acids (PLFA and NLFA). Intra- and extraradical AMF biomass were decreased equally by N-amendment as measured by AMF indicator fatty acid 16:1ω5c. Furthermore, total microbial biomass decreased and a change in microbial community composition was found under N-amendment. The composition change was dominated by a decrease in fungal to bacterial biomass ratios. The largest portion of AMF biomass within our system was represented by extraradical mycelium (ERM). Other studies have estimated ERM provides up to 30% of the total microbial biomass. ERM have a substantial amount of photosynthetically derived carbon flowing through them, thus the observed changes in ERM biomass could greatly influence soil respiration. Therefore my fourth and last objective was to estimate the production and respiration rate of AMF extraradical mycelium biomass. Hyphal in-growth bags were designed that would allow ERM but no root colonization and minimize ERM of saprotrophic fungi, by using mesh of 50μm and sand without organic matter content, respectively. Bags were buried in the soil for one growing season to allow colonization of ERM and measured for CO2 flux at harvest at the end of the growing season. A similar mean reduction of AMF extra-radical biomass with N-amendment was found using the in-growth bags compared to the soil PLFA 16:1ω5c measurements. Hyphal in-growth bag CO2 flux was not significantly decreased by N-amendment, but a trend was seen at two sites, and an average decrease of 7% was found. However, hyphal in-growth bags CO2 flux was positively related to hyphal biomass, which suggests that AMF hyphal CO2 flux is mainly controlled by the biomass of AMF mycelium. In conclusion, increased chronic nitrogen deposition as simulated by long term N- amendment had a negative effect on both intra- and extraradical AMF biomass, total microbial biomass, fungal to bacterial biomass ratio, and AMF CO2 efflux in a northern hardwood forest dominated by sugar maple. The observed decrease in AMF abundance correlated with a decrease in AMF CO2 flux suggests reduced carbon (C) allocation to these fungi or a direct soil N-mediated decline. The decrease in fungal to bacterial biomass ratio could have been caused by a change in organic matter quality, specifically a decrease in C:N ratio, which has been observed in the litter at our sites. The decrease in overall microbial biomass could have negative effects on soil organic matter decomposition. Consistent with this, a decreased rate of organic matter decomposition has been observed at our study sites. Furthermore N-amendment changed intraradical AMF community composition, with some taxa increasing while others decreased in abundance with N-amendment. Given that functional diversity exists among AMF species, this change in community composition could have implications for the functioning of this type of ecosystem. Our observed decrease in AMF and microbial biomass together with changes in intraradical AMF and soil microbial community composition with N-amendment thus has the potential to substantially change both nutrient and carbon cycling within northern hardwood forests. Further investigations should focus on effects of additional environmental variables on the AMF biomass and community composition, such as foliar nutrient content. These analyses could reveal some indirect effects of increased N-amendment and could be useful for the creation of models predicting changes in fungal biomass and communities and plant-fungal relationships.

Matt Ritchie: Why I left south coast to sign for Newcastle
Matt Ritchie has left his home comforts behind on the South Coast.

Updated Wednesday, 13th July 2016, 12:55 pm
Matt Ritchie returned to Fratton Park with Bournemouth to face Paul Cook's Blues in January. Picture: Joe Pepler
But the Newcastle United winger is already feeling settled in the North East.
Ritchie joined the club in a £10m deal.
The 26-year-old was quickly sold on a move to Newcastle from Bournemouth, where he had spent previous three and a half seasons.
And Gosport-born Ritchie – who started his career at Pompey – wasn't put off by the move north, despite having lived in Hampshire all his life.
'For me, obviously it's a bit different (to previous moves) in the fact that I've moved up here,' said the Scotland international.
'I've always been lucky in my career in that I've always lived in the same house since I was 17 – since Portsmouth.
'I travelled to Swindon, and I've been on loan a few times, Notts County for instance, but that was only a few miles.
'So I've always been lucky, I've lived at home as most people like to do.
'But as a footballer you've got to be willing to uproot your family, and my wife's supported me.
'She was all for the move as well, and I'm just delighted to be up here, delighted to be training and getting started. I can't wait for the season to start.'
Ritchie has enjoyed his first week's training under Rafa Benitez.
'I first met Rafa when I came up, and there's an aura about him, for sure,' he said.
'He's a manager who's won nearly everything in football. He's got an aura around him and I'm really looking forward to working with him.
'I'm sure that he's got different coaching methods to what I'm used to so I'm sure I can learn.
'It's flattering, for sure, when someone like that in football watches you. He's obviously seen you play, he must have watched me in games.
'So yeah, it's flattering to know that someone with his knowledge in football rates you.
'(Newcastle) has always been a football club that stands out as a top English football club.
'When I heard the interest, especially the manager involved and the owner backing him in the way, it's an opportunity I didn't want to turn down and let pass me by.'
Ritchie knows the Championship well from his time at Bournemouth, and he feels Benitez's squad will have the right balance by the time the new campaign kicks off on August 5.
'I think he's got a plan, he knows what he wants and I agree with his plan.
'I think you need a mixture of quality, hard work and togetherness in the Championship. You need a bit of everything, and I think that's what the gaffer's building here, in training, with what I've seen so far.
'We've already got all of that, so hopefully we can have a real successful season.'
Ritchie, in the Bournemouth team that beat Newcastle 3-1 in March in what proved to be Steve McClaren's last game in charge, has been surprised by the positivity at the club given that it was relegated two months ago.
'I think when you get relegated, it's important that the next season you come back in and that's wiped from the memory, because you have to be positive,' he said.
'If you think positively, positive things will happen.
'The group seems very positive for the start of the season, very determined and everyone certainly knows what's expected of us.
'So we'll be doing all we can to make sure that's going to happen.'

Its been a few weeks since my last video, here is a small hobby update video. The sound seems to go up and down in places, iPhone bugs… ?
I am still making my way through the Dark vengeance box set and this video is just showing my progress.
Also showing off the new minis I have bought and will be painting as soon as I get the dark vengeance stuff completed.
I may have some of the names and unit ID's wrong. I don't actually play 40k, I just enjoy painting them up.


Turkish ready-built filters are widely applied in the water-level stations with small capacity or the day chuyen tinh khiet san nuoc crude. Filter is the final phase before the clean water is returned to the tank to pump out the water supply system outside the station.
With layout filter material, the grain size of materials and characteristics of the materials we can make out the filter with different filtering speed, greater efficiency, reduced cost of products and handy in the installation, operation and speed up the construction of stations.
The material level in Turkish can be sand, sand filter, filter sand (IS) iron manganese (MS), sand iron manganese filter combination filter particles, (MIS) Arsenic (AS), activated carbon from bamboo stream, coconut and quartz pebbles.
The water comes through the door with vertical load on the remaining in the water after the process of filtration tank will be cleaning accessories, catalyst, oxidation to reduction by contact with a filter material layers or more, depending on the nature of the water required. After the country went through from the layer filter material will be collected by the capture filter mounted on the floor of the tank filter and flow out.
After a period of use, the filter system will reduce air flow, filtration speed or quality of water output, this is the time to wash the filter system recovery.
The water level will be on from the bottom up, the water flow is intense amount of entirely dirt will push out through the operation of the valve and the pump.

Location sound mixer in Toronto, Canada.
I put all of those under a general "materials and supplies" expense, as per my accountant's instructions. They're all expendables that get used up as you run your business (even lavs... they break and need to be replaced fairly often). Only big-ticket gear purchases get classified as assets that need to be depreciated.
VR production (sound), new like old?
This is something I've developed a keen interest in as well, and have teamed up with some great post-production colleagues up here in Toronto to establish effective workflows. Right now it's still a lot of experimentation, and as you noted there has not been a lot of (good) narrative work done. For that side of things, almost all of the magic is done in post from mono recordings and sound design. The only effective examples I've seen so far have been in the horror genre, since it lends itself well to immersing the viewer in a tense environment. Spatial audio becomes even more important than ever, to ensure that the viewer is looking in the right direction at the right time. It's actually pretty fun to play around with. The short piece "Help" by Justin Lin and Google Spotlight is a pretty cool example too of how live-action blockbusters could be done in VR. I can't imagine anyone would want to watch something more than 5 or 10 minutes long though, at least until the wearable tech vastly improves. Aside from narrative work, there's some fun to be had in recording "immersive experiences" for sports, music, or travel fans. Imagine being in the locker room before a big game. This adds a bit of interest for us to record too, since you can play with the mix between ambisonic recordings and spot (lav) recordings of key people like the coach addressing the players. Finding that sweet spot in the mix that puts the viewer in the middle of the excitement but also maintains clear, consistent dialogue is a tricky challenge, but a good one! Of course, that's all up to the post team, our job is still limited to recording the best sounds possible and delivering it to them. But more than ever before, communcation between the production sound mixer and post-production team is of paramount importance during pre-production, to agree on a workflow that works for each project.
Wow, that's an unexpected surprise! Had a pleasure dealing with Tyler since the day he started, I always looked forward to chatting with him at the shop and he definitely provided great service on many occasions throughout the years. All the best Tyler!
The Presonus works great with Boom Recorder, it's an extremely simple setup. In the bright sunlight though it was extremely hard to see which buttons on the board were lit up and which were dark. I wouldn't use it again for an outdoor show just for this reason alone. The sub-mixes are a bit counter-intuitive for reality setups too (or at least our setup). We were sending up to 4 different mono sub-mixes to 4 different cameras using a Lectro D4 transmitter, and the assignment buttons get a bit convoluted when you're in the thick of things and multiple mixes are changing on the fly. In the future, I think I'll switch to a Yamaha board for multi-cam reality stuff.
Just got a bunch of work in Vegas, so I'll be in town this year! My first time attending, will definitely hit up the JWS dinner. Looking forward to it.
Would you sacrifice your rate for a life experience.
Also, the actual iPhone is just a piece of hardware, don't forget about all the profits they make on all the digital stuff you buy AFTER buying the phone (apps, music, tv/movies, etc). They could probably eliminate all the profits from the actual phone sales and still be very profitable as a company.

Agreed! A total whiz and a good friend. He's helped me make many improvements to my gear over the years!
In the final model the project box may end up being even bigger as we've run out of space inside, but the good thing is it weighs next to nothing so a simple clip would attach it to the side of your bag easily.
Simon, both channels have an L/C/R switch for panning so they can be assigned to the Left, Right, or both channels in whatever combination I want. I'm not that great at electronics either so I've been working on this with Harry Quan here in Toronto, Canada. We've gone through a couple models over the past year trying to get it just right, but this is still essentially just a prototype. I'm still having some issues with RF interference sneaking into the system. It works well enough for me, but until we solve that final problem I wouldn't say it's ready for "public" use. Hopefully when work slows down for the winter we can re-design the box with some added components to make it rock solid. At that point I'd be happy to share! Jason, everything in this bag is powered from a 7.2V Swit battery. No BDS, just a custom cable array with an in-line master switch. The power requirements of the fader box are negligible so it doesn't affect battery life in any noticeable way. The amps are built from scratch... I believe using simple transistors, but I could be wrong on that one, as we did balance the inputs in an attempt to reduce the RF interference so that might mean they are transformers now? I'll have to check.

ATHAMAS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY
Athamas was the name of Greek mythological king, a ruler of a kingdom in Boeotia, and then one in Thessaly. The life of Athamas though was not a universally happy one, and was filled with much tragedy.
Athamas King of Orchomenus
Athamas was the son of Aeolus, the king of Thessaly, (not Aeolus, king of the winds) and his wife, Enarete. Athamas was thus brother to Cretheus, Salmoneus and Sisyphus, amongst others, and a number of sisters.
Each of the sons of Aeolus would come to rule their own kingdoms, and in the case of Athamas, his kingdom was that of Orchomenus in Boeotia.
The First Wife of Athamas
Athamas is primarily remembered for his troubles, much of which seemed to derive from the fact that he was thrice married.
The first wife of Athamas was the Oceanid cloud nymph Nephele; and by Nephele, Athamas would become father to a son, Phrixus, and a daughter, Helle.
The Second Wife of Athamas
The marriage of Athamas and Nephele lasted but a relatively short time, for the eye of Athamas was taken by the beauty of Ino, the daughter of Cadmus. By Ino, Athamas would become father to a further two sons, Learches and Melicertes.
Troubles for Athamas
A drought would hit Boeotia, and famine spread across the land, some blame this on a vengeful Nephele, whilst others say there was no drought, simply a ruse enacted by Ino.
In either case the drought allowed Ino to plan the removal of Phrixus as heir to Athamas' throne, and put her own sons in prime position.
Ino would bribe heralds of Athamas, so that when they returned from the Oracle of Delphi, they would tell of how the drought could only be lifted through the sacrifice of Phrixus.
When the populace of Orchomenus heard the "proclamation" of the Oracle they demanded that Athamas sacrifice his own son. Ultimately, Athamas would not have to sacrifice Phrixus, because before the sacrifice could take place, Phrixus and Helle were flown to safety on the back of the Golden Ram; the magical animal having been sent to undertake the rescue by Nephele.
Even without the sacrifice, Ino had what she wanted for Phrixus was out of the way; indeed he was far away in Colchis.
Some tell of Athamas finding out about conniving of Ino shortly after the flight of the Golden Ram, and killing her as a result; other tales though tell of Athamas living on in ignorance allowing for many more trials and tribulations for the king.
Athamas and Dionysus
It was around the time when Athamas was ruler in Boeotia that Zeus seduced Semele, with the result that Semele would fall pregnant with a son, Dionysus. The interference of Hera ultimately saw Semele die, and Zeus having to carry Dionysus to term, with his son sown up in the god's thigh.
When Dionysus was born though, Zeus had Hermes deliver the baby boy to Ino and Athamas, for Ino was sister to Semele, but the instructions were that Dionysus had to be disguised as a girl, perhaps in the hope of avoiding notice by Hera.
The Madness of Athamas
The ruse worked for but a short time and Hera soon discovered that Athamas was helping her husband, by looking after his illegitimate child.
Hera roused the Erinyes into action, and from the Underworld came Tisiphone (one of the Erinyes) and a host of other Daemons.
Madness descended upon Athamas and Ino, and Athamas now saw not his son Learches, but a deer that needed to be hunted. Thus, Athamas killed Learches with an arrow.
The madness of Ino saw Athamas' wife snatch up her other son, Melicertes, and jumped from the top of a cliff into the sea.
The fall of Ino and Melicertes was commonly said to have killed the pair, but some tell of the transformation of mother and son, with Ino becoming the sea goddess Leucothea, and Melicertes becoming Palaemon.
Dionysus avoided injury in all of this though, For Zeus had him whisked away to be safely cared by the Hydaes nymphs.
Athamas Taken by The Furies - PD-art-100
The Family of Athamas Extended
The madness that had taken Athamas would eventually dissipate, and now finding he had no heir to his kingdom, Athamas adopted his grandnephews Coronus and Haliartus, grandsons of Sisyphus, and regions of Boeotia called Coroneia and Haliartus were named after these relatives of Athamas.
The Sacrificial Athamas
It was said by some that at some point in the life of Athamas in Boeotia, his own people sought to sacrifice the king to Zeus. Possibly through the belief that the king had killed Phrixus, although this was what the populace had desired at the time.
The sacrifice though was said to have been stopped by the arrival of Cytissorus in Boeotia; Cytissorus was the son of Phrixus, and thus grandson of Athamas, and it was Cytissorus who informed everyone that Phrixus was alive.
Athamas in Exile
Athamas had though murdered his son Learches and for this his own subjects sent him into exile.
Having no idea of where he should go, Athamas consulted an Oracle, and was thus told to live in the place where he was hospitably received by wild animals.
In the region of Phthiotis in Thessaly, Athamas came cross wolves feasting upon sheep, but they would suddenly depart, leaving behind meat and bones for Athamas.
Athamas believed this to be the land that the Oracle had spoken of and so Athamas founded the city of Alos.
A Third Wife For Athamas
Athamas would marry for a third time, this time to Themisto, a daughter of Hpseus, King of the Lapiths.
This third marriage would bring forth a number of additional children, twins Ptous and Prophyrion, Sphinclus, Orchomenus, Schoeneus, Erythrius and Leucon.
More Tragedy for Athamas
Now some say that Athamas lived out his life happily in Thessaly with his third wife Themisto, other writers though, would bring further tragedy into the life of Athamas.
To this end, it was said that Athamas discovered that his second wife, Ino, and children, were not dead, and so brought them from Boeotia to Thessaly.
This only aroused the jealousy of Themisto, who now, just as Ino had tried to do away with her predecessor's children, sought to kill the sons of Ino and Athamas.
Themisto decided this was a deed best done at night, and so ordered a slave to dress her own children in white and those of Ino in black so that they could be identified in the gloominess of night. Unbeknownst to Themisto the slave who she asked to undertake the task was Ino, and seeing a deadly plot in the eyes of Themisto swapped the coloured clothing around.
As a result Themisto killed her own sons, whilst leaving those of Ino and Athamas alive. When, in the morning, Themisto realised she had killed the wrong children, the third wife of Athamas killed herself.


BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:44 P.M.) – Islamic State forces are falling back to their one, only and last stronghold in the province of Hama following the virtual collapse of the terrorist group's territorial holdings throughout northwest Syria at the hands of the Syrian Arab Army.
According to sources exclusive to Al-Masdar News, ISIS terrorists have withdrawn en-mass to the town of Suruj in Hama province's northeastern countryside to make their final stand against the Syrian Army.
Over the last five days, the Syrian Army – led by the elite Tiger Forces Division – has swept across the provinces of Hama, Idlib and Aleppo in northwest Syria reducing what was once an ISIS bastion greater than one thousand square kilometers in size by 98 percent.
Prior to the Syrian Army offensive, ISIS possessed over 100 towns and villages throughout the country's northwest – now it holds about half-a-dozen with Suruj being the largest.
It is believed that ISIS still has many hundreds of militant fighters in Hama, all of which are now concentrated into a single town.
USA is not a democracy : it's an empire controlled by big corporations, thus they can't export democratic values.
Good news, let us make it 100%. No mercy, none deal at all with terrorists.
It's interesting as they (ISIS)… used to kick other groups asses in Idlib… Other terror gangs will be taken under a roadroller soon.
