The APC superfamily of transport proteins includes members that function as solute:cation symporters and solute:solute antiporters (Saier, 2000; Wong et al. 2012; Schweikhard and Ziegler 2012). They occur in bacteria, archaea, yeast, fungi, unicellular eukaryotic protists, slime molds, plants and animals (Saier, 2000). They vary in length, being as small as 350 residues and as large as 850 residues. The smaller proteins are generally of prokaryotic origin while the larger ones are of eukaryotic origin. Most of them possess twelve transmembrane α-helical spanners but have a re-entrant loop involving TMSs 2 and 3 (Gasol et al., 2004). Members of one family within the APC superfamily (SGP; TC# 2.A.3.9) are amino acid receptors rather than transporters (Cabrera-Martinez et al., 2003), and are truncated at their C-termini, relative to the transporters, having 10 TMSs (Jack et al., 2000). The eukaryotic members of another family (CAT; TC# 2.A.3.3) and the members of a prokaryotic family (AGT; TC #2.A.3.11) have 14 TMSs (Lorca et al., 2003). The larger eukaryotic and archaeal proteins possess N- and C-terminal hydrophilic extensions. Some animal proteins, for example, those in the LAT family (TC# 2.A.3.8) including ASUR4 (gbY12716) and SPRM1 (gbL25068) associate with a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein that is essential for insertion or activity of the permease and forms a disulfide bridge with it. These glycoproteins include the CD98 heavy chain protein of Mus musculus (gbU25708) and the orthologous 4F2 cell surface antigen heavy chain of Homo sapiens (spP08195). The latter protein is required for the activity of the cystine/glutamate antiporter (2.A.3.8.5) which maintains cellular redox balance and cysteine/glutathione levels (Sato et al., 2005). They are members of the rBAT family of mammalian proteins (TC #8.A.9). Two APC family members, LAT1 and LAT2 (TC #2.A.3.8.7), transport a neurotoxicant, the methylmercury-L-cysteine complex, by molecular mimicry (Simmons-Willis et al., 2002). Hip1 of S. cerevisiae (TC #2.A.3.1.5) has been implicated in heavy metal transport. Distant constituents of the APC superfamily are the AAAP family (TC# 2.A.18), the ArAAP family (TC# 2.A.42) and the STP family (TC# 2.A.43). Some of these proteins exhibit 11 TMSs. Eukaryotic members of this superfamily have been reviewed by Wipf et al. (2002) and Fischer et al. (1998).
In CadB of E. coli (2.A.3.2.2), amino acid residues involved in both uptake and excretion, or solely in excretion, are located in the cytoplasmic loops and the cytoplasmic side of transmembrane segments, whereas residues involved in uptake are located in the periplasmic loops and the transmembrane segments (Soksawatmaekhin et al., 2006). A hydrophilic cavity is proposed to be formed by the transmembrane segments II, III, IV, VI, VII, X, XI, and XII (Soksawatmaekhin et al., 2006). Based on 3-d structures of APC superfamily members, Rudnick (2011) has proposed the pathway for transport and suggested a 'rocking bundle' mechanism.
Shaffer et al. (2009) have presented the crystal structure of apo-ApcT, a proton-coupled broad-specificity amino acid transporter, at 2.35 Å resolution. The structure contains 12 transmembrane helices, with the first 10 consisting of an inverted structural repeat of 5 transmembrane helices like LeuT (TC #2.A.22.4.2). The ApcT structure reveals an inward-facing, apo state and an amine moiety of Lys158 located in a position equivalent to the Na2 ion of LeuT. They proposed that Lys158 is central to proton-coupled transport and that the amine group serves the same functional role as the Na2 ion in LeuT, thus demonstrating common principles among proton- and sodium-coupled transporters.
The structure and function of the cadaverine-lysine antiporter, CadB (2.A.3.2.2), and the putrescine-ornithine antiporter, PotE (2.A.3.2.1), in E. coli have been evaluated using model structures based on the crystal structure of AdiC (2.A.3.2.5), an agmatine-arginine antiporter. The central cavity of CadB, containing the substrate binding site is wider than that of PotE, mirroring the different sizes of cadaverine and putrescine. The size of the central cavity of CadB and PotE is dependent on the angle of transmembrane helix 6 (TM6) against the periplasm. Tyr(73), Tyr(89), Tyr(90), Glu(204), Tyr(235), Asp(303), and Tyr(423) of CadB, and Cys(62), Trp(201), Glu(207), Trp(292), and Tyr(425) of PotE are strongly involved in the antiport activities. In addition, Trp(43), Tyr(57), Tyr(107), Tyr(366), and Tyr(368) of CadB are involved preferentially in cadaverine uptake at neutral pH, while only Tyr(90) of PotE is involved preferentially in putrescine uptake. The results indicated that the central cavity of CadB consists of TMs 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 10, and that of PotE consists of TMs 2, 3, 6, and 8. Several residues are necessary for recognition of cadaverine in the periplasm because the level of cadaverine is much lower than that of putrescine at neutral pH.
The roughly barrel-shaped AdiC subunit of 45 Å diameter consists of 12 transmembrane helices, TMS1 and TMS6 being interrupted by short non-helical stretches in the middle of their transmembrane spans (Fang et al., 2009). Biochemical analysis of homologues places the amino and carboxy termini on the intracellular side of the membrane. TM1–TM10 surround a large cavity exposed to the extracellular solution. These ten helices comprise two inverted structural repeats. TM1–TM5 of AdiC align well with TM6–TM10 turned 'upside down' around a pseudo-two-fold axis nearly parallel to the membrane plane. Thus, TMS1 pairs with TMS6, TMS2 with TMS7, and etc.. Helices TMS11 and TMS12, non-participants in this repeat, provide most of the 2,500 Å2 homodimeric interface. AdiC mirrors the common fold observed unexpectedly in four phylogenetically unrelated families of Na+-coupled solute transporters: BCCT (2.A.15), NCS1 (2.A.39), SSS (2.A.21) and NSS (2.A.22) (Fang et al., 2009).

High affinity cationic amino acid transporter 1 (CAT-1) (CAT1) (Ecotropic retroviral leukemia receptor homologue) (Ecotropic retrovirus receptor homologue) (ERR) (Solute carrier family 7 member 1) (System Y+ basic amino acid transporter) (Closs 1996).
The single high affinity plasma membrane choline transporter of 563 aas and 12 TMSs. Expression of the CTR/HNM1 gene in wild-type cells is regulated by phospholipid precursors, inositol and choline, but no such effect is seen in cells bearing mutations in the phospholipid regulatory genes INO2, INO4 and OPI1. There is no regulation by INO2 and OPI1 in the absence of a conserved decamer motif. However constructs lacking this sequence are still controlled by INO4. Other substrates of the choline permease, i.e., ethanolamine, nitrogen mustard and nitrogen half mustard do not regulate expression of CTR/HNM1 (Li and Brendel 1993). Exposing cells to increasing levels of choline results in two different regulatory mechanisms. Initial exposure to choline results in a rapid decrease in Hnm1-mediated transport activity, whereas chronic exposure results in Hnm1 degradation through an endocytic mechanism that depends on the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 and the casein kinase 1 redundant pair Yck1/Yck2 (Fernández-Murray et al. 2013).
γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) permease, Uga4 (also transports the polyamine, putrescine) (Uemura et al., 2007; Kashiwagi and Igarashi 2011).

The thiamine (vitamin B1) transporter, Thi9 (SPAC9.10). Uptake is inhibited by pyrithiamine, oxythiamine, amprolium, and the thiazole part of thiamine indicating that these compounds are substrates of Thi9 (Vogl et al., 2008).
MtbP of Methanoscarina acetivorans (Q8TN67).
ApcT, a proton coupled broad specificity amino acid transporter. 3-d structure available at 2.3Å resolution (3GIA_A; Shaffer et al., 2009).
Glutamate:γ-aminobutyrate antiporter of 477 aas and 12 TMSs, GadC. Expression of gadCB in L. lactis in the presence of chloride is increased when the culture pH decreases to low levels, while glutamate stimulated gadCB expression (Sanders et al. 1998). These genes encode a glutamate-dependent acid resistance mechanism that is optimally active when needed for acid neutralization.
Glutamate:GABA antiporter, GadC (YcaM). GadC, transports GABA/Glu only under acidic conditions, with no detectable activity at pH values higher than 6.5 (Ma et al., 2012). Ma et al. (2012) determined the crystal structure of GadC at 3.1 Å resolution under basic conditions. GadC, comprising 12 TMSs, exists in a closed state, with its carboxy-terminal domain serving as a plug to block an otherwise inward-open conformation. Structural and biochemical analyses revealed the essential transport residues, identified the transport path and suggested a transport mechanism involving the rigid-body rotation of a helical bundle for GadC and other amino acid antiporters.
Inner membrane transporter, YgjI or GadC. Catalyzes L-glutamate:γ-amino butyrate (GABA) antiport (De Biase and Pennacchietti 2012).

L-type neutral amino acid transporter, LAT1 (Na+-independent) (prefers amino acids with branched or aromatic side chains: Phe, Ile, Leu, Val, Trp, His; catalyzes obligatory exchange with μM affinities on the outside and mM affinities on the inside [1000x difference]). Both LAT1 and LAT2 (2.A.3.8.6) catalyze uptake of S-nitroso-L-cysteine. These and other LAT family members are specifically inhibited by 2-aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (Li and Whorton, 2005). Mediates tryptophan:kynurenine exchange (Kaper et al., 2007). Also transports thyroid hormones (Kinne et al., 2011). The chicken orthologue transports thyrold hormones, especially T2, with low affinity (Nele Bourgeois et al. 2016).

Y+L amino acid transporter 1 (Monocyte amino acid permease 2) (MOP-2) (Solute carrier family 7 member 7) (y(+)L-type amino acid transporter 1) (Y+LAT1) (y+LAT-1). It transports cationic amino acids such as arginine and lysine out of the cell. Arginine, in particular, is critical for T-cell activation and function in the immune response, and Y+L plays a role in the pathogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ji et al. 2018).
Y+L amino acid transporter 2 (Cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system) (Solute carrier family 7 member 6) (y(+)L-type amino acid transporter 2) (Y+LAT2) (y+LAT-2). Transports certain thyroid hormones and their derivatives as well as multiple amino acids(Krause and Hinz 2017).
Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 1 (4F2 light chain) (4F2 LC) (4F2LC) (CD98 light chain; SLC3A2) (Integral membrane protein E16) (L-type amino acid transporter 1) (hLAT1) (Solute carrier family 7 member 5) (y+ system cationic and neutral amino acid transporter). The heavy chain, CD98hc, modulates integrin signaling, plays a role in cell-to-cell fusion, and is essential for Brucella infection (Keriel et al. 2015). In addition to L-amino acids, Lat1 in conjunction with 4F2hc, transports S-nitroso-L-cysteine (Li and Whorton 2007). LAT1/CD98 mediates a Na+ and pH independent antiport of amino acids (Scalise et al. 2018). It has been demonstrated that the preferred substrate is histidine and that CD98 is not required for transport, being plausibly involved in routing LAT1 to the plasma membrane. Homology models have been built on the basis of the AdiC transporter from E.coli. Crucial residues for substrate recognition and gating have been identified using a combined approach of bioinformatics and site-directed mutagenesis coupled to functional assays. LAT1 is involved in important human diseases such as neurological disorders and cancer (Scalise et al. 2018).
Amino acid transporter 6 (AAT-6). Interacts with NRFL-1, the C. elegans NHERF orthologue to promote localization to the intestinal luminal membrane (Hagiwara et al. 2012).
Cationic amino acid transporter, y+LAT1. 95% identical to a characterized carp orthologue (Yang et al. 2013).
Putative amino acid porter of 512 aas and 14 TMSs.
Large neutral amino acid transporter, CD98lc (LAT), of 442 aas. Functions with CD98hc (TC# 8.A.9.2.3) (Reynolds et al. 2009). CD98hc also modulates integrin signaling (Prager et al. 2007), plays a role in cell-to-cell fusion, and is essential for Brucella infection (Keriel et al. 2015).
Heteromeric amino acid transporter #1 (transports most neutral aas with highest rates for Ala and Ser (Km≈100 μM)). They function by obligatory aa:aa exchange (Veljkovic et al., 2004b).
Spore germination protein of 368 aas and 10 TMSs. Maps adjacent to a putative ABC transporter of unknown specificity (F8FLY8, F8FLY7, F8FLY5).

John Carter Meets Avatar | A Fan Trailer Extraordinaire (extraordinarily hilarious)
February 13, 2012 February 13, 2012 Michael Sellers Trailers
My new hero is Youtuber "neravairathethird"who has made an artfully hilarious trailer by taking the sound track from the John Carter trailer and substituting Avatar images throughout. First — watch the trailer, then before you get off on the idea that John Carter is derived from Avatar, read the article below which sets the record straight that it's the other way around — Cameron openly admits he had John Carter in mind when he created Avatar (the quotes are in the article). Also, here's a link to an article I wrote at the time Avatar came out examining what Cameron took from Burroughs.
Finally, just in case you're still uncertain — the impact of seeing this trailer should be 'oh, now I get it, this is going to be BETTER THAN AVATAR'…….I love Avatar but the underlying source material for John Carter is much, much stronger.
Now — keep reading, please.
Cameron: The idea with Avatar was to be "like John Carter of Mars – a soldier goes to Mars."
As the countdown continues to the March 9 release of Disney's John Carter, directed by Andrew Stanton, an issue that won't seem to go away is that of casual observers popping up on movie message boards and elsewhere saying that John Carter is a "ripoff of Avatar", based on what they've seen in the trailers. Fortunately there are a number of "defenders of Edgar Rice Burroughs" who rise to the defense of the storytelling grandmaster whenever this happens. Still, the record needs to be set straight, and kept straight, on this issue and fortunately Cameron himself provides the best answers because Cameron — like all of the great sci-fi storytellers of his era — knows and acknowledges that the Burroughs John Carter of Mars series, first published a hundred years ago and kept very much alive in the 60?s and 70?s in paperback reprints that boomer boys consumed in great quantity — was nothing less than the Rosetta Stone of modern science fiction.
Listen to what Cameron himself has to say on the inspiration for Avatar:
Listen to what Cameron has to say:
"With 'Avatar,' I thought, Forget all these chick flicks and do a classic guys' adventure movie, something in the Edgar Rice Burroughs mold, like John Carter of Mars—a soldier goes to Mars,"
That wasn't the only time he said it:
James Cameron: "It's a double-edged sword. Obviously, he's able to go into his avatar through a futuristic technology, but on the other hand he's living this very primitive and ultimately somewhat spiritual life. He becomes this warrior on behalf of this disadvantaged culture. Not disadvantaged – they're sort of being bullied or dominated by the highly technological earth forces. So it's definitely a love/hate. And it's the same thing with movies, but you've got to learn to balance the two. As a film director, you can embrace the technology and go crazy and have a big mad love affair with the technology, but you still have to tell the story that's about people, emotions, and all that. The big irony of this film is, you know we're doing this story that takes place out in the rain forest, a very simple story, almost classic in a sense, almost an Edgar Rice Burroughs kind of adventure, and yet it's being done with the most advanced technology in the history of film. So there's this weird juxtaposition. I take the actors to Hawaii and we're out on some muddy trail someplace learning how to shoot a bow in the woods and not get bitten by mosquitos so that they'll have enough of a sense memory of what it's like to move through a rain forest so that when they come back to this very sterile stage environment, they can recreate that."
And Cameron in another interview:
This story could've been written in the '30s. It could have been an Edgar Rice Burroughs type story or a Rudyard Kipling story or a western, absolutely. But it's an adventure story of a guy from one culture dropped into another culture.
And finally:
Q: How did you come up with this story?
A: Well, my inspiration is every single science fiction book I read as a kid. And a few that weren't science fiction. The Edgar Rice Burroughs books, H. Rider Haggard — the manly, jungle adventure writers. I wanted to do an old fashioned jungle adventure, just set it on another planet, and play by those rules.Q: Your premise reminded me a lot of the Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter, Warlord of Mars series.
A: It's definitely got that feeling, and I wanted to capture that feeling, but updated. To be certain, I wanted a film that could encompass all my interests, from biology, technology, the environment — a whole host of passions. But I've always had a fondness for those kind of science fiction/adventure stories, the male warrior in an exotic, alien land, overcoming physical challenges and confronting the fears of difference. Do we conquer? Exploit? Integrate? Avatar explores those issues.
The thing is, when Avatar came out, all the ERB fans didn't go running around with their hair on fire saying "Cameron ripped off Edgar Rice Burroughs". We just smiled, appreciated the homage, and kept our fingers crossed that when John Carter does come out, it will do justice to the imagination of the grandmaster ERB.
Here is what I wrote at the time, in an article for ERBZINE that compared and contrasted the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Avatar:
One of the great pleasures of my adolescence was reading, and re-reading, all of the great adventure stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs–Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, all of them. I first started reading them as an 11 year old Army Brat living in Stuttgart, Germany — where I would order them four or five books at a time from ACE and Ballantine Books, both of whom were putting out the Burroughs novels in those days. In recent years I was lucky enough to get to know Danton Burroughs, the grandson of Edgar Rice and the keeper of the kingdom of Edgar Rice Burroughs treasures at the family homestead in Tarzana, the town in Southern California that has risen on the site of Burroughs ranch, which he called Tarzana. Bill and Sue-on Hillman maintain a fantastic group of fan and tribute websites, and Bill noticed a few weeks ago that I had written about the Avatar-Burroughs connection. We emailed back and forth about it — and the result is an article I've written for ERBzine on the Avatar-Burroughs connection. You can click here to read it — and even if you don't read it, check out the wonderful illustrations that Bill has added to the article–illustrations which probably say more about the Avatar-Burroughs connection than anything I can write.

New John Carter Featurette–New footage!
John Carter News | February 14, 2012
Dotar Sojat says:
Couldn't agree more. There are two master storytellers at work here and as long as they don't cancel each other out somehow (and I don't think there's a chance of that happening, really), the result should be pretty amazing. It will be quite a feeling if this catches on like those of us who know Burroughs well believe it can………I'll be pretty nervous on March 9, that's for certain.
Paul Dickey says:
Michael;
You really have captured my feelings as to the importance of ER Burroughs to modern Sci-Fi/ Planetary romance movies. I remember watching Star Wars and immediatly catching the words Bantha, Jedi, Sith and thinking, Barsoom. I think we are lucky to have waited all this time for John Carter and have it fall into the hands of Andrew Stanton. He has shown that he can take a story that doesn't seem like much on the surface (Wal-E) and turn it into something special. I have had the fortune of hearing from 3 people that have seen early cuts of the film and I get the sense that this film really got under thier skin and they can't wait to revisit it once it is released. We are in for something truly special on March 9th. My son and daughter think I am nuts because of my obsession with this movie but they don't understand the passion that many of us have for the material that Burroughs gave to us. However, they have seen all the footage that has been released thusfar and have asked me repeatedly, "Is there going to be a midnight showing? We are so there" I have seen and heard enough to know that people have no idea whats coming, but by the middle of March everyone will.

NEC Australia will deliver network upgrades for more than 500 WA Health sites in regional and remote parts of Western Australia.
The contracts, worth $23 million, are part of WA Health's HealthNext ICT transformation program.
HealthNext, which kicked off in September 2017, is the name for WA Health's transition to GovNext-ICT: A whole-of-government procurement scheme that seeks to shift agencies towards 'as a service' offerings.
Shared services organisation Health Support Services (HSS) is leading the implementation of HealthNext.
"NEC is very pleased to partner with WA Health on their transformation journey and we look forward to delivering innovative solutions that underpin their digital services strategy," NEC Australia's WA State Manager Marcus Ashby said in a statement.
Ashby said that NEC Australia has signed around 180 orders with 35 WA agencies as part of GovNext. Atos, Datacom and NEC are the 'consortia primes' for GovNext.
HealthNext "will provide fast and reliable access to critical health systems while enabling us to better utilise digital innovation to support a more patient-centric and sustainable health system," said HSS chief information officer, Holger Kaufmann.
Last month Atos announced that as part of HealthNext it will oversee the migration of the WA Health to Oracle-based cloud services as part of a five-year, $124 million contract.
The Atos Managed Public Cloud (MPC) solution, which is based on ServiceNow, will provide a single "pane of glass" for cloud consumption, Atos said.
GovNext kicked off under the former Liberal state government with the ambition of slashing ICT spending. A report by WA's auditor general released in August last year found that although it would reduce government ICT costs, the GovNext business case had presented a rosy picture when it came to potential savings.
"Assumptions used to develop the Business Case did not fairly reflect agency ICT services or pricing, and presented a best case picture of potential savings," the report said.


Well I guess you'll be seeing much more of me in the forums, I've just ordered a copy of lightwave 3D today from onevideo and am awaiting for it to arrive.
I'm playing around with the trial version of lightwave as there a good number of days left on it, hopefully by the time it expires the postman will have something nice for me.
Just out of interest. Does anyone know of any good tutorials out there that I can help creating a 3D Logo in LW.
He's right YT, the full install invokes the *delete friendly* string from the program folder. It's all downhill from there.
Seriously, you'll find a good bunch here, willing to share help and other nuggets of insight.
We also ***** argue and scream at eachother on a regular basis .. so be prepared..
Appart from the link shown to you for tutorials from Hopper, you can also try our very own Tips and Tricks that are right below there on my signature.
Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll love lightwave and love the forums even more. This is by far, one of the most helpful and active forums around!
Thanks for all the replies - getting a bit frustrated at the moment as I still haven't received LW, however I'm told that it'll arrive on Tuesday. So No bitching and screaming at me till then as the friendly string has not been deleted from the program folder yet!
Welcome to the community YT. I think you'll find it easier to pick up Lightwave then you did with Max. I know I did.
For me, getting LightWave was definately one of my better decisions, although you won't feel the true power until you add stuff like LWCAD3 (that's an absolute must-have I think).
You can install the trial version, register it, then just plug in your dongle when it arrives and register again. No need to reinstall.
I had the trial version running, but it didn't feel real until I had that little red box in my hand.
Now I have, I'm Going to register and let the LW adventures begin.
Awesome! Lightwave is lots of fun these days, esp. for personal work. Gets more friendly all the time. I can say the same for the community.

To put on a successive sell-out show in Belfast is a rarity. To gather a crowd to their feet in anticipation of something great is rarer yet. To finally deliver explosive drama inside five minutes and leave the city breathless for more is the epitome of class. Only Carl Frampton could have journalists hastily trying to make sense of a fight that was so one sided, they had to believe his opponent hid from truthfully explaining the cause of defeat. Embarrassments happen in boxing but none are as bewildering as not being able to count to ten in English – for that is what Frampton claimed Hugo Cazares was guilty of.
Moments before the WBC super-bantamweight world title eliminator fight began at the Odyssey Arena, one fan could be heard shouting "Right away Carl, right away," emphasising the confidence of a home crowd, safe in the belief that their man would win in the early rounds. And right away, Frampton dominated the middle of the ring on the sound of the first bell: just as he had been directed by trainer Shane McGuigan. Cazares sought to busy Frampton with extra work in the opening round by switching from orthodox to south paw but the local favourite delivered a hard right shortly before the bell that struck his rival flush on the head. 3 minutes of an intelligent battle done.
Devastatingly better boxing arrived immediately as the want of Frampton reigned with gusto. Separated by referee Victor Loughlin after a tangling of legs, both fighters were instructed as far from one another as possible. Upon assessing Cazares' complaint that he had received an illegal punch to the leg, the contest restarted for the last time. Frampton, having to step away from a potential right hand to his head, ducked beneath it and opening his shoulders unleashed a startling left fist that dropped Cazares against the ropes.
No standard version of what followed has since been agreed upon by either camp but it is certain that Loughlin held ten fingers inches from the face of Cazares, as he failed to stand up right. Cazares point of contention centers on an idea that the spoken count differed from the action of the referee's fingers. The suggestion among ringside galleries that he winked to Frampton moments after being knocked down adds little to his sorry words. He did however take manfully to the Odyssey's Millennium room to give a post fight conference and continue his firm explanation for a premature loss. "I wanted to wait as long as possible (during the count) the referee should have looked into my eyes." The stale air of defeat inside the room didn't linger long as Frampton entered to a congratulating press.
Sat at his table, alongside Shane and Barry McGuigan, the 27 year old was keen to talk about the finishing punch. "One of my best," he said with a knowing smile. What brought more delight to his promoter was not only the execution of his boxers left hook but the style of the winning shot. "He did it coming forward on the front foot." It will not have gone unnoticed that a similar style and well-rehearsed combination ended Kiko Martinez time as European super-bantamweight champion.
Frampton seems to have improved on his already formidable punching power too, which he puts down to Shane. "He tells me I'm hitting harder and I'm taking on more weights in the gym." On last night's evidence few within the division will care to dispute the case Frampton puts forward of being the most powerful puncher in the division. While Belfast waits for a possible world title match up between Leo Santa Cruz and Frampton, it is likely that home fans will be disappointed, with the American East and West coasts standing as the two favourite potential destinations of the bout.

Q: Concurrent TCP connections on Azure can be upto 500K. Really? Let me be very clear at the outset that I am new to cloud technology. All I know is cloud servers are easily scalable (i.e. adding physical hardware is transparent to applications and users) and unlike in older days application don't need to worry about scalability.
I was just going through Azure Subscription Limits and noticed that Networking Limits are just amazing. A virtual machine can support 500K concurrent TCP connections.
Now what does this mean to a TCP server application running on Azure? Can it assume that it is going to receive 500K TCP handles? (Unlike in older days TCP server application needed to be developed considering "Max Concurrent Connections" C10K limit)

A: That's just the limit on the networking infrastructure supporting those VMs, which seems above and beyond any OS-specific limits. The latter would be the same for the OS outside Azure.
You could see it as the limits imposed by your networking gear in front of your servers in a physical hardware environment.

Farooq Kperogi: Propagandocracy and the Buhari Media Center
March 4, 2017 | Op-ed Editor
The Buhari government is an absolute propagandocracy, that is, a government conducted by intentionally false and manipulative information. And this is so because the very foundation of the government is fraud.
When you defraud people into electing you and you have no substance to justify the trust they invested in you, you either apologise and be penitent (if you are honourable) or you perpetually churn out lie after lie to cover up earlier lies since you have no truth to tell. That's the profile of this government in a nutshell.
The fraud started when, shortly after being sworn in as president, President Buhari went to Chatham House in London (where else?) to repudiate the "One Hundred Things Buhari Will Do in 100 Days" and the "My Covenant With Nigerians" campaign documents, two of the signature documents that helped propel APC to an unlikely electoral triumph, and that caused many of us hitherto nonpartisan commentators to identify with and support Buhari in 2015.
Buhari called the documents a "fraud." He was right. But what was an even bigger fraud was that he knew these documents to be fraudulent but conveniently chose not to repudiate them during the campaigns. His strategic silence caused people to elect him on the basis of fraud.
New York mayor Mario Cuomo once famously said that politicians campaign in poetry but govern in prose. APC "changed" this: they campaigned with fraud and now govern with unimaginative lies and mindless propaganda to cover up the fraud that got them into power. It's the biggest, most audacious con game in Nigeria's entire political history.
After renouncing the documents that got him elected, everything went downhill from there. He renounced all the campaign promises he made, including his promise to publicly and fully declare his assets and make public declaration of assets a precondition for appointment into his government. So APC basically became a party of fraud with no programs—just like the PDP it upstaged.
In the absence of anything to show for its existence, since fraud is its very foundation, the Buhari government has elevated sterile propaganda, mindless mind-management, and thoughtless, unintelligent mendacity to an art.
For starters, as I pointed out in my Facebook status update, which went viral and shaped national discourse on the Buhari government, the president has 9 media aides. Yes, 9, not 6 as previously thought!
They are Femi Adesina (Special Adviser, Media & Publicity); Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant, Media & Publicity); Tolu Ogunlesi (Special Assistant, Digital & New Media); Lauretta Onochie (Personal Assistant, Social Media); Bashir Ahmad (Personal Assistant, New media); Sha'aban Sharada (Personal Assistant, Broadcast Media); Naziru Muhammed (Personal Assistant, TV Documentary); Sunday Aghaeze (Personal Assistant, Photography); and Bayo Omoboriowo (Personal Assistant/ President's Photographer).
All of these aides also have a retinue of other aides. For instance, the president's PA on Broadcast Media recently appointed a "Media Assistant 1 on Social Media." The numeral "1" indicates that there are other personal aides to the president's PA that we don't know about yet. This absurdity used to exist only in the realm of implausible humour.
But it gets worse: the president also has a clandestine hate and propaganda factory called the Buhari Media Center (BMC), which has nearly 40 paid propagandists whose mandate is to smear, demonise, and troll government critics with thousands of fake, foul social media handles. They also flood the comment sections of news websites with false handles and calculatedly duplicitous information, in addition to producing propagandistic social media memes (often with southern Nigerian-sounding names) that appear to come from everyday Buhari fans. The 40 odd propagandists-in-residence at the BMC are paid N250,000 per month.
Most members of the Buhari Media Center propagandists-in-residence are in this photo. They transitioned from APC presidential media campaigners to BMC propagandists.
Modelled after the Atiku Media Center (a reason its head calls it the Buhari Media Center, although it goes by other names), it is located on Okonjo-Iweala Drive (close to CBN quarters) in Jabi, Abuja.
When I first exposed this shadowy, sinister propaganda outfit that operates outside the orbit of the formal structures of government, its existence was denied. Now some character by the name of Muhammad Labbo who describes himself as "Chairman/ Co-ordinator [sic]" of the "Buhari Media Support Group" admitted to the existence of the propaganda centre, but says it isn't called the Buhari Media Center, and that it is funded by a private individual.
But who is this private individual who is funding a viciously malicious presidential propaganda outfit? What is his interest? Is this a pay-to-play scam? Is it a payback for a favour from the Buhari government? Or is it a favour in anticipation of a reward? Why should a shadowy individual fund a pro-government, extralegal propaganda and mind-management unit?
And what about the N100 million Lai Mohammed's Ministry of Information has allocated for "interaction with bloggers" in the 2017 budget? Who are these bloggers government will be "interacting" with for N100 million in a time of recession?
Most importantly, though, the minions that make up the Buhari Media Center propagandists aren't even the brightest bulbs in the box. Most of them should sue their brains for non-support. First, they can't string together a sentence in English that isn't a riotous travesty of the language. Nor do they seem to have any basic familiarity with elementary logic. Their stock-in-trade is unrestrained verbal primitivism, vulgar abuse, smears, innuendoes, and outright libel.
They, for instance, have been on full attack mode against my person since I exposed them. One Muhammad Labbo, who would do well to take elementary lessons in grammar and logic, said I too belonged to a BMC-like unit during Obasanjo's administration. Lie. The unit I was recruited to be a part of, about which I wrote several times in my column, was called the Presidential Research and Communications Unit (later renamed Public Communications Unit) and projected Nigeria to the international community. The unit's website was indicatively www.nigeriafirst.org, and it never got involved in domestic media interventions.
Unlike the PRCU, BMC is Buhari first (and Nigeria last), as the name of the group suggests. It operates outside the structures of government and even claims to be funded by a sinister outsider to slander critics of the president. Only a mind held hostage by illogic and defective intellect will make a false equivalence between working for a unit of government that disseminated information about Nigeria to a global audience and a baleful, extralegal propaganda unit that defames and attacks an incompetent president's critics using fake handles.
As I pointed out in a 2015 article, Nigeria's brand of political public relations, for the most part, does no more than appeal to the base, attract enemies, scare away potential converts, and ossify negative opinions about the people that are putatively being defended. It consists in barbarous, impulsive, sophomoric insults against real and imagined political opponents—and cloying, hagiographic defense of principals. It lacks nuance, is childish, and seems unconcerned with logic and persuasion.
The BMC is a full realisation of this peculiar primitive propaganda that defines Nigeria's public communication. It gets worse when the government it defends is founded and subsists on fraud and lies.

Report backs WAFarmers on rail
WAFarmers welcomes the tabling in Parliament today of the Economics and Industry Standing Committee's report on the Management of Western Australia's Freight Rail Network.
The report supports the position which WAFarmers has long advocated – that there was no need for Tier 3 lines to be closed and all efforts should be made to reopen them, according to WAFarmers President Dale Park.
"WAFarmers agrees wholeheartedly with the recommendation of the Committee that the government should investigate and pursue all means to recover Tier 3 lines," Mr Park said.
"As we have long argued, it is in the best interests of the stakeholders – that is, the families and communities who rely on Tier 3 rail – that these lines be reopened as a matter of urgency."
Mr Park said he was particularly pleased to see the lease arrangement between Brookfield Rail and the State Government finally in the public domain, giving much-needed transparency to the arrangement.
"WAFarmers has advocated for a long time for the release of the lease to give those who are most impacted some idea as to why their communities and businesses are being let down," Mr Park said.
"The report indicates a lack of transparency from multiple parties, which is something we have encountered repeatedly over the past few years. It is disappointing that it has taken such an inquiry for documents such as the lease to be made public."
Mr Park gave evidence before the Committee on June 13 where he expressed his frustration at the persistent hindrances to resolving the Tier 3 issue.
"I extend my thanks to the members of the Economics and Industry Standing Committee for their work on the report and towards clarifying many aspects of the issue," he said.
