sometimes extension not in valid format.
for example  I getting problem from below URLs
1) http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/media-upload.png?w=266
2) http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/a5a5ed70fa7c651aa5ec9ca8de57a4b8?s=60&d=identicon&r=G

I want to download/save remote image from remote url..
How to get filename and extension from the above url?
Thanks
Abhishek

A: The remote server sends a Content-Type header containing the mime type of the resource. For example:
Content-Type: image/png

So you can examine the value of this header and pick the proper extension for your file. For example:
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/a5a5ed70fa7c651aa5ec9ca8de57a4b8?s=60&d=identicon&r=G");
using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
    string contentType = response.ContentType;
    // TODO: examine the content type and decide how to name your file
    string filename = "test.jpg";

    // Download the file
    using (Stream file = File.OpenWrite(filename))
    {
        // Remark: if the file is very big read it in chunks
        // to avoid loading it into memory
        byte[] buffer = new byte[response.ContentLength];
        stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        file.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    }
}

A: You can use the VirtualPathUtility if you want to extract the extension from a URL.
var ext = VirtualPathUtility.GetExtension(pathstring)

Or use headers to determine the content type. There's a Windows API to convert content type to extension (it's also in registry), but for web apps it makes sense to use mapping.
switch(response.ContentType)
{
    case "image/jpeg":
        return ".jpeg";
    case "image/png":
        return ".png";
}


Storage bus speeds with example storage endpoints.
All figures here are the theoretical maximums for the busses using rough/easy calculations for bits/s<->bytes/s. Enough to figure out where the throughput bottlenecks are likely to be in a storage system.
SAS devices may be dual ported (two connections to the device from the HBA(s)) – each with a 12Gbit connection giving a potential bandwidth of 2x12Gbit == 2.4Gbyte/s (roughly) per SSD device.
An NVMe device directly attached to the PCIe bus has access to a bandwidth of 4GB/s by using 4 PCIe lanes – or 8GB/s using 8 PCIe lanes. On current Xeon processors, a single socket attaches to 40 PCIe lanes directly (see diagram below) for a total bandwidth of 40GB/s per socket.
I first started down the road of finally coming to grips with all the different busses and lane types after reading this excellent LSI paper. I omitted the SAS-2 figures from this article since modern systems use SAS-3 exclusively.

So I went to the orthopedic yesterday....who let me take off my knee immobilizer...which hardly immobilized me just made me look awkwardly weird running after my children. There is no such thing as rest when you have two toddlers. I tried a few days just to have Avery around and I even found myself up and down all day long. So to say the least it didn't work out so well. I loved the new advice from the orthopedic so I ran with it. I am still in a ton of pain and just going to try to take it easy and see how the next week goes. I am not one for sitting around resting. So yesterday was one of those days where I think we all have...well I do anyway where everything is just not going right and everyone and everything is bugging you. My dear husband Joe has been driving me nuts the past few days (just part of being cooped in the house I am sure) He is one of those people that if something is wrong it is never his fault...and the sympathy well that stopped. I have to say by sitting around I have learned a few things. So time to get back on track and keep sight of what is important. That being...the things that make me happy. Sometimes you get lost in the midst of others and forget what makes you happy and whats important to you. I know....I know....the "mom years" it is all about that, but I need to learn to find that balance on raising happy healthy children while being able to keep myself happy and do some things for myself. Amazing what a few days of lounging around does right. So moving forward...time for some changes and things that make mom happy other than kids. I got laughing with my mom on the way home from the doctor. I made her pit stop at McDonald's for a m&m mcflurry just to have one in peace and quiet. Its amazing the little things in life once you have kids, just to enjoy that mcflurry without someone wanting the first bite, then arguing over who gets the second. So after a drive filled with tears, laughter and a magically delicious mcflurry, and a heart to heart with mom I have a new outlook. So more projects, arguments and a new and some self improvements to come !!

FDA Approves Botox as Post-Stroke Joint Treatment

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Botox (onabotulinumtoxin A) to treat spasticity in the flexor muscles of the elbow, wrist and fingers brought on by a stroke, traumatic brain injury or the progression of multiple sclerosis.
The FDA Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research's director of neurology Russell Katz said that treatment with Botox was found to be beneficial during clinical trials.
"Muscles affected by spasticity have increased stiffness and tightness, which may lead to pain, difficulties with hygiene and may affect how a patient looks," Katz said.
Botox, which is manufactured by Allergan, works by temporarily blocking the connections between nerves and muscles, resulting in a temporary paralysis of the spastic muscle.
Botox comes with a boxed warning that says the effects of the botulinum toxin may spread from the area of injection to other areas of the body, causing symptoms similar to those of botulism. Those symptoms include swallowing and breathing difficulties that can be life-threatening.
Botox has not been shown to be safe and effective treatment for other upper limb muscles, spasticity in the legs, or for treatment of fixed contracture – a condition that affects range of motion.

US 1st Cir.
UNITED STATES v. BUTTRICK
United States Court of Appeals,First Circuit.
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Dustin BUTTRICK, Defendant, Appellant.
Before LYNCH, Circuit Judge, CAMPBELL and CYR, Senior Circuit Judges. Michael J. Iacopino, with whom Brennan Caron Lenehan & Iacopino was on brief, for appellant. Peter E. Papps, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Thomas P. Colantuono, United States Attorney, was on brief, for appellee.
Dustin Buttrick, a twenty-two-year-old man living in Elliot, Maine, crossed over the state line into New Hampshire, having arranged to rendezvous with a fourteen-year-old girl he met over the Internet to have sex. The "girl" turned out to have been a fiction; Buttrick was caught in a sting operation set up by the Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Police Department. There is no dispute that the "girl" told Buttrick that she was underage, and there is no dispute that he crossed over the state line for the anticipated tryst. Buttrick never found his intended paramour; the Portsmouth police arrested him first. His defense was that mere curiosity drove him; although he brought along condoms, as he had told the "girl" that he would, he said that he had never intended to have sex with her.
On September 9, 2004, a jury found Buttrick guilty of traveling in interstate commerce with the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with another person between twelve and sixteen years of age, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b). See also 18 U.S.C. §§ 2423(f), 2241(c). Buttrick was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, followed by a five-year period of supervised release.
This appeal addresses two legal questions previously raised in defendant's motion for a judgment of acquittal or, in the alternative, a new trial. Buttrick argues that the statute of conviction, 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b), is unconstitutional as applied to him because it punishes mere thought and burdens the right to travel. The statute provides, in relevant part:
A person who travels in interstate commerce ․ for the purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct with another person shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.
Buttrick's second argument is that the district court erred in denying his request for a jury instruction, drawn from an affirmative defense under the Model Penal Code, on abandonment or renunciation of intent to commit the crime.
We hold that the claim of statutory unconstitutionality is meritless and devolves into nothing more than an insufficiency of evidence claim. On the second issue, we agree with the district court that even if, in theory, an abandonment defense were ever available in response to a prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b), a question we do not address, the proffered instruction was properly rejected because it was an erroneous statement of the law. We affirm.
The facts recited come largely from Buttrick's testimony. That testimony includes the evidence as to which the proposed instruction was directed and provides the basis for evaluating the claims that the statute was unconstitutionally applied. There is no need to discuss the government's additional evidence of guilt.
Buttrick testified as follows. Before the incident in question, he had visited chat rooms thirty or forty times. He had explicit sexual conversations with women seven or eight times and made arrangements to meet three or four of these women.
On June 8, 2003, Buttrick logged into a Yahoo! chat room. He was attracted to an individual using the screen name "baybeedaw188" and contacted her via instant messaging. He asked the individual her age, and she identified herself as a fourteen-year-old girl. The chat quickly became sexually graphic, with Buttrick suggesting that they get together to "fool around." He also said to "baybeedaw188," untruthfully, that he was only nineteen years old, that he was from Dover, New Hampshire, and that he had "fooled around" before with someone he met online.
Buttrick testified at trial that he had no intent to go any further than conversation-that it was all just fantasy. He continued the fantasy, replying to e-mail messages from "baybeedaw188" and engaging in other sexually explicit online conversations with her. During a June 22 chat room conversation, however, he went a step beyond fantasy and suggested that they meet in person. He and "baybeedaw188" agreed to meet at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 24, 2003, at the New Hampshire State Liquor Store on the Route 1 traffic circle in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Buttrick testified that he did not believe the statements from "baybeedaw188" that she was fourteen years old. Over the weekend before the meeting, Buttrick talked about these chat room conversations with a friend, Tom Whelan, who was a part-time police officer. Buttrick told Whelan about the meeting, saying he "would just drive by and take a look" and that he "was curious to see who [he] was talking to." Whelan advised him that it was a bad idea.
Still, on Monday, June 23, Buttrick and "baybeedaw188" had another sexual chat room conversation, during which they confirmed that they would meet as planned the next morning. According to the testimony of the detective behind the sting operation, Buttrick told "baybeedawl88" that he would bring "Durex"-brand condoms with him to their meeting. Buttrick's testimony was that he had no intent to perform any sexual act with her or even to meet her. He said that he intended to drive to the meeting place in New Hampshire from his home in Maine, about five miles away, "just see who this person was. I was just curious."
On Tuesday, June 24, as he dressed before driving to the meeting, Buttrick grabbed various items from his dresser, including condoms. He testified that he did not bring the condoms to have sex with "baybeedaw188"; rather, he said, "I've been going out a lot and I try to make it a habit of carrying condoms on me." He also testified that as he drove to the meeting, it still had not crossed his mind that perhaps he would have sex with her after all.
Buttrick drove across the state line toward the meeting place. At the traffic circle in Portsmouth, he drove around the circle once, then pulled off to look toward the liquor store to see if someone was in the parking lot. He then drove around the circle another time and again pulled off. He intended, he testified, to get on the traffic circle a third time. Before he could do so, however, he was pulled over by the Portsmouth police and arrested. A detective testified that he recovered two condoms from Buttrick's front pocket, one of which was a "Durex"-brand condom.
Buttrick admitted at trial that during a post-arrest interview by the police, he was asked whether "the purpose of this whole thing" was that he "wanted to have sex with a 14-year-old girl," and that he answered, "Yeah." He testified, however, that what he said to the police was not an admission of guilt, just an acknowledgment that he knew why he had been arrested. He admitted that when he was asked in the post-arrest interview what his purpose was in crossing the state line, he had said that he did not know, but that his intention was to drive home from the traffic circle because he "knew it wasn't a good idea." He further admitted that when asked at the interview whether he would have stopped had he seen a fourteen-year-old-girl in the parking lot, he had replied, "no," and said that he "would have been freaked out and ․ would have known it ․ wasn't a good idea." He stressed that if he had seen a girl at the lot, he would not have had sex with her.
The crux of Buttrick's defense, then, was that he never had any intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct even before he left his home on his trip to the meeting place. Curiosity, in other words, not sex, led him across the state line.
A. Unconstitutionality of the Statute as Applied
We quickly dispose of Buttrick's as-applied constitutional challenge, since the claim of unconstitutionality is controlled by our prior decision in United States v. Gamache, 156 F.3d 1 (1st Cir.1998). Gamache rejected the argument that 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) punishes mere thought. See id. at 7-8. Other circuits have come to the same conclusion. United States v. Bredimus, 352 F.3d 200, 208-09 (5th Cir.2003); United States v. Han, 230 F.3d 560, 563 (2d Cir.2000); see also Hoke v. United States, 227 U.S. 308, 323, 33 S.Ct. 281, 57 L.Ed. 523 (1913) (upholding as constitutional similar statutory language in the Mann Act).
As Gamache holds, the statute punishes those who perform the act of crossing the state line with the intent to engage in the specified wrongful conduct. See 156 F.3d at 8. The intent requirement is often proved through another series of acts. See id. Here, as in Gamache, those acts include defendant's repeated correspondence with his intended paramour, his setting up the details of the assignation, his bringing of the condoms, and his actual traveling to the general vicinity of the rendezvous point, on the scheduled date and at the scheduled time. See id. Buttrick "did not abstractly contemplate crossing state boundaries with a thought to committing a crime upon reaching his destination"; he did much more. Id.
Buttrick attempts to distinguish Gamache on the ground that he allegedly displayed a clear intent not to engage in any illicit conduct. This argument is nothing more than an attack on the sufficiency of the evidence and does not state a constitutional claim.
His argument that the statute violates due process by interfering with the right to travel suffers from the same infirmity. He argues not that Congress cannot regulate travel as it does in the statute, but that since he lacked the requisite intent, the statute as applied is unconstitutional. Again, this is nothing more than an attack on the jury's finding that he had the requisite intent. Cf. Bredimus, 352 F.3d at 209-10 (holding that § 2423(b) does not impermissibly burden the right to foreign travel because it only criminalizes travel done with illicit intent).
B. Request for an Instruction on the Abandonment or Renunciation Defense
We review a properly preserved objection to the failure to give a requested jury instruction de novo. Sanchez-Lopez v. Fuentes-Pujols, 375 F.3d 121, 133 (1st Cir.2004) (citing Gray v. Genlyte Group, Inc., 289 F.3d 128, 133 (1st Cir.2002)). Such a refusal constitutes reversible error only if it was prejudicial in light of the entire record. Id. at 133. If the proffered instruction misstates the applicable law, it cannot be accepted. See United States v. Montanez, 105 F.3d 36, 39 (1st Cir.1997) ("[A] defendant is entitled to an instruction on his theory of defense if sufficient evidence is produced at trial to support the defense and the proposed instruction correctly describes the applicable law.").
At trial, the defense theory was that Buttrick had never formed an intent to engage in illicit sexual contact, that he was merely a victim of his own curiosity. Nonetheless, at the close of trial, Buttrick requested an instruction 1 based on Model Penal Code § 5.01(4), which defines renunciation as an affirmative defense to attempt crimes. For shorthand we refer to the defense as one of abandonment.
The rationale in the Model Penal Code for recognizing such a defense to attempt crimes is said to be twofold: "First, allowance of the defense recognizes that the actor's conduct no longer poses a danger to society. Second, the availability of the defense provides actors with a 'motive for desisting from their criminal designs, thereby diminishing the risk that the substantive crime will be committed.' " United States v. Shelton, 30 F.3d 702, 706 (6th Cir.1994) (quoting Model Penal Code § 5.01(4) cmt. 8 (Official Draft 1985)).
The district court rejected defendant's request for an abandonment instruction on a number of grounds. One of those grounds-that Buttrick's proposed instruction was not a correct statement of the applicable law-suffices to affirm.
Buttrick admits that the Model Penal Code defense by its terms applies to "attempt" crimes.2 See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 751(a) (attempt to escape from custody); 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(b)(1)(A), 846 (attempt to possess cocaine for resale). He relies on cases that he claims recognize the defense of abandonment or renunciation of an attempt crime. See United States v. Doyon, 194 F.3d 207, 212 (1st Cir.1999); United States v. Dworken, 855 F.2d 12, 20 (1st Cir.1988); United States v. Bailey, 834 F.2d 218, 227 (1st Cir.1987). These cases do not hold that the affirmative defense of abandonment is, in fact, available, but merely assume so arguendo. The government, in turn, relies on cases that explicitly reject the abandonment defense in attempt crimes. See, e.g., Shelton, 30 F.3d at 706. This circuit has reserved the question of the availability of the defense in attempt crimes, see Bailey, 834 F.2d at 227 & n. 7, and, despite the battle waged in this case using the proxy of attempt crimes, we still reserve the question.
It is unnecessary to address the argument to resolve the case. We expressly do not reach the questions of (1) whether the Model Penal Code defense of abandonment is ever available for an attempt crime, and (2) whether, if the answer to the first question were "yes," 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) is sufficiently like an attempt crime that such an affirmative defense could in theory be applicable.
The district court, assuming arguendo that the law on the two points above could be read in defendant's favor, nonetheless rejected the proposed instruction on the ground that it misstated the law by misallocating the burden of proof. The proposed instruction placed the burden on the government "to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that [Buttrick's] renunciation or abandonment of the crime was not voluntary or complete."
The district court gave three reasons for its conclusion. First, the court noted that while the Model Penal Code appeared to place the burden of persuasion on the government on the defense of renunciation, see Model Penal Code § 5.01(4) cmt. 8, at 358-59, 361 (Official Draft 1985), that allocation of burdens had not generally been accepted by the states, see id. at 361 & n. 282 (citing state statutes and proposals).
Second, the court pointed out that the statute of conviction, 18 U.S.C. § 2423, itself defined an affirmative defense to certain conduct criminalized by the statute. In that affirmative defense, set forth at § 2423(g), Congress placed the burdens of both production and persuasion on the defendant:
Defense. In a prosecution under this section based on illicit sexual conduct as defined in subsection(f)(2), it is a defense, which the defendant must establish by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant reasonably believed that the person with whom the defendant engaged in the commercial sex act had attained the age of 18 years.
18 U.S.C. § 2423(g). It would be, the court reasoned, inconsistent to alter this allocation of burdens for an affirmative defense not even recognized by the statute.
Lastly, the court reasoned that the allocation of burdens in the proposed instruction was inconsistent with United States v. Hartsock, 347 F.3d 1 (1st Cir.2003). Following Hartsock's rule of examining both the particular crime and the particular defense to determine who has the burden of persuasion on an affirmative defense, see id. at 8-9, the district court held that "the burden of proof should be on the defendant with respect to this affirmative defense instruction."
The court noted that the defendant's premise was that even if all of the elements of the crime had been committed-he had crossed the state line with the purpose to engage in sex with a minor-he could nonetheless be found not guilty because he had abandoned that intent by the time he was stopped by the police.3 Accepting arguendo the premise that an abandonment offense could lie, the district court held that the defendant is more likely than the prosecution to be in possession of the information necessary to establish the defense, and so the defendant should bear the burdens of both production and persuasion. Accordingly, the court concluded that under Hartsock, Buttrick's proposed instruction incorrectly placed the burden of persuasion for the affirmative defense on the government.4
The district court notified defense counsel of this problem in the proposed instruction and gave counsel a chance to propose a revised instruction that would place the burden of proof back onto the defendant. Counsel declined to do so.
We agree with the district court's analysis that the proposed instruction was simply wrong as to the allocation of burdens of this assumed defense under 18 U.S.C. § 2423, even indulging every preliminary assumption in defendant's favor. There is no need to add to the district court's thoughtful analysis of the problem.
We affirm the judgment of conviction.
1. The requested instruction provided:Dustin Buttrick asserts as a defense that he renunciated or abandoned any effort to commit the crime with which he is charged. It is a complete defense to the charge against the defendant that he renunciated or abandoned his effort to commit the crime or otherwise prevented its commission. Such abandonment or renunciation must be complete and voluntary.Renunciation is not voluntary if it is motivated, in whole or in part, by circumstances, not present or apparent at the inception of the actor's course of conduct, that increase the probability of detection or apprehension or that make more difficult the accomplishment of the criminal purpose.Renunciation is not complete if it is motivated by a decision to postpone the criminal conduct until a more advantageous time or to transfer the criminal effort to another but similar objective or victim.The Government has the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant's renunciation or abandonment of the crime was not voluntary or not complete.If you find that the Defendant voluntarily and completely renunciated or abandoned an effort to commit the crime charged in the indictment then you must find him to be not guilty. If you find that his abandonment or renunciation was not voluntary or complete and that the Government has proven the elements of the offense as I have explained them to you then you should find the Defendant to be guilty.
2. We note that Buttrick was charged with the substantive crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b). We thus also do not reach any questions about available defenses to aiding and abetting, see United States v. Garrett, 720 F.2d 705, 713-14 (D.C.Cir.1983) (considering an abandonment defense to the charge of aiding and abetting the violation of § 2423), or to conspiracy crimes of this ilk. Nor do we reach any questions about an entrapment defense.
3. Again, we stress that we do not decide the validity of defendant's theory that the abandonment defense is applicable to a prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 2423; we note only that to date no court has accepted the theory in this context.
4. Even in Bailey, in which this court reserved the question of the availability of the abandonment defense for attempt crimes, the proffered abandonment instruction, held not to be warranted by the evidence, placed the burden of persuasion on the defendant. 834 F.2d at 226 n. 6.

Recently more than 50 volunteers from around the Taupo District gathered together to talk all things predator trapping.
They celebrated successes, shared ideas and learnt new techniques from special guests from conservation technology company "Goodnature".
The celebration, hosted by the Department of Conservation (DOC), invited the 12 active predator trapping groups from around Lake Taupo to hear Goodnature co-founder Stu Barr talk about the origins of the company, and update the groups on the latest technological advances.
After introductions by each group, Stu stood up and said it brought a tear to his eye to see so many community volunteers together to talk predator trapping, "I couldn't have imagined this many volunteers when we started up over ten years ago".
Since then, Goodnature have revolutionised the fight against the predators harming our birds – possums, rats and stoats – with the design and manufacture of automatic traps that humanely kill pest animals and then reset themselves. Instead of volunteer hours spent re-setting single-kill traps, they can now cover a wider area with traps that can take out up to 24 rats or stoats without needing to be checked for six months.
Currently DOC estimates in the Taupo district up to 80 volunteers work on over 15 predator trapping projects contributing nearly a thousand work days every year – a huge conservation effort to restore balance to local biodiversity.
Community trapping began in 2002 at Pukawa at the southern end of Lake Taupo, with local resident Jean Stanley – whose passion for protecting native flora and fauna has spread like wild fire around the lake. Her encouragement inspired projects in Omori, Kuratau and Whareroa – and has since swept north with the establishment of the Kinloch community predator control group only last year.
With the announcement of Predator Free 2050 last year, the passion in the Taupo district is a step in the right direction. Community group Greening Taupo president Paul Green said he is bolstered by the achievements of the southern trapping programmes and hopes to see the same appetite for action in Taupō itself. To encourage action, Greening Taupo is facilitating a meeting with support from Wairakei Sanctuary and DOC, Thursday 18 May 5.30-7pm at the Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary, Wairakei Drive.
Goodnature is a conservation technology company with a vision for a natural environment in which native species survive, thrive and flourish, free from the threat and destruction of introduced pests. Goodnature is constantly working to develop products that make it easy for everyone to create sanctuaries in their backyard, however big. They are committed to providing pragmatic solutions to one of our most serious environmental problems - biodiversity decline.
Stu Barr is on the Board of Management for the Pukawa Wildlife Management Trust. His connection to the community through a family holiday home has meant the Pukawa trapping group has trialled the technology as part of their predator control programme - including use of the early "Henry" model self-setting trap, and more recently having success with the new auto-lure pump for A24 traps.

Hepatocyte growth aspect (HGF) and its own receptor, cMET, play critical
Hepatocyte growth aspect (HGF) and its own receptor, cMET, play critical assignments in cell proliferation, invasion and angiogenesis in a multitude of malignancies. YYB-101-treated mice Aliskiren hemifumarate that demonstrated tumor regrowth. In the tissues cross-reactivity assay, vital cross-reactivity had not been noticed. The terminal reduction half-life was 21.seven times. Taken jointly, the and data showed the anti-tumor efficiency of YYB-101, which were mediated by preventing the HGF/cMET connections. The preclinical pharmacokinetics, tissues and toxicokinetics cross-reactivity data support the clinical advancement of YYB-101 for advanced cancers. Introduction Hepatocyte growth element (HGF), also known as Aliskiren hemifumarate scatter element, is definitely a multifunctional cytokine composed of an amino-terminal website and four kringle domains in the alpha chain (54C65?kDa) and a serine protease homology website in the beta chain (31C35?kDa).1 The binding of HGF to its receptor, cMET, activates intracellular signal transduction pathways that regulate cell proliferation, motility, invasion, angiogenesis, and anti-apoptosis.2, 3 As a result, aberrant activation of the HGF/cMET pathway causes growth and metastasis in a variety of human being cancers.4, 5 Upregulation of HGF and the overexpression and activation of cMET are observed in a number of human being cancers Layn such as breast, head and neck, lung, prostate, renal, colorectal, and hepatocellular as well as myeloma, glioblastoma and sarcomas.6, 7, 8 Furthermore, a high blood level of HGF is associated with poor prognosis in gastric and ovarian malignancy.6, 9 For example, HGF and cMET manifestation levels correlate with tumor invasiveness, metastasis, and overall survival in breast malignancy10, 11, 12 and with poor survival rates in non-small-cell lung malignancy.13, 14 Given that the connection of HGF and cMET is involved in tumorigenesis and metastasis, both proteins are promising focuses on for therapeutic providers. HGF inhibitors bind to HGF to Aliskiren hemifumarate prevent its connection with cMET and the subsequent activation of the HGF/cMET pathway. We previously generated a rabbit-human antibody that efficiently neutralizes the activity of HGF.15 Inside a colorectal cancer cell xenograft model, this antibody effectively suppressed innate irinotecan resistance induced by fibroblast-derived HGF. 16 In this study, we tested a humanized version of the anti-HGF antibody (YYB101) using HGF neutralization assays and an orthotopic mouse model of human being glioblastoma. We then carried out cells cross-reactivity, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity studies of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) compliant with good laboratory practice. With this preclinical study, we evaluated the dose response of YYB-101 and compared the effectiveness of YYB-101 only versus combination therapy with YYB-101 and temozolomide (TMZ), the standard-of-care chemotherapy drug. Materials and methods ERK phosphorylation assay After a 24-h incubation in serum-free medium, human being liver carcinoma HepG2 cells were treated for 5?min with 128?pM HGF (ProSpec, Rehovot, Israel) along with either YYB-101 (0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, or 10?nM) or human being IgG (10?nM; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). The cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) twice to stop the reaction, lysed inside a lysis buffer consisting of 20?mM Tris (pH 7.4) 137?mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, protease inhibitor cocktail, and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail, and then clarified by centrifugation at 15?000 for 5?min at 4?C. The cell lysate proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (NuPAGE 4C12% Bis-Tris; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) under reducing conditions and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, as previously described.17 After blocking with 5% skim milk in PBS containing 0.02% Tween-20 (blocking buffer) for 30?min, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4?C with either an anti-ERK1/2 rabbit antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) or an anti-phospho-ERK1/2 rabbit antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Beverly, MA, USA) diluted in obstructing buffer (1:1000). The membranes were then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit antibody (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) diluted in obstructing buffer (1:1000) for 1?h at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) following a manufacturer's instructions. Scattering assay MDCK-2 cells were incubated for 20?h in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 67?pM HGF alone or in combination with either control IgG or YYB-101, as reported previously.15 The cells were fixed with 100?l paraformaldehyde (4%) for 30?min in room heat range and washed with PBS. Photos were used of specific colonies. Orthotopic mouse style of individual glioblastoma Individual glioblastoma U-87 MG cells had been.

TV show description:
Based on events in the life of Greg Poehler, this comedy TV show revolves around Bruce Evans (Poehler) and Emma Wiik (Josephine Bornebusch), seemingly the perfect couple. He's a successful money manager to the stars in New York. He lives with Emma, the sweet woman from Sweden whom he loves and adores. A rare combination of intelligent, funny, kind and beautiful, Emma believes she has finally found her true soul mate in Bruce.
After being with him a year, she makes the life-changing decision to move back to her native Stockholm to accept a prestigious banking job. She's surprised and thrilled that he agrees to move with her to begin a new life together.
With no job, friends or any real clue about what he is getting himself into, Bruce is quick to face many unique challenges and culture clashes. The most notable one is how to win over Emma's strange and very Swedish family.
They move in with her parents — Viveka (Lena Olin) and Birger (Claes Månsson). Viveka is a therapist who dearly loves her family but has difficulty showing it — especially to Emma. She also takes an instant dislike Bruce. Birger is a retired sea captain and is a typical Swede — tall, kind and silent. He doesn't speak much English which only adds to the communication barriers.
Emma's younger brother is Gustav (Christopher Wagelin), a 28-year old mega-slacker who can do no wrong in his mother's eyes. Birger's younger brother is Bengt (Per Svensson), an American-adoring rockabilly type who seems to live his life through Hollywood movies.
Bruce's parents are Wayne (Patrick Duffy) and Nancy (Illeana Douglas). Wayne is conservative by nature and resides in a small Midwestern town. Nancy wants nothing but the best for her son, but can't comprehend his decision to leave his happy life in New York.

Really, really like this show. Those who have not yet viewed it need to watch from the very first episode to really appreciate. My husband's paternal grandparents were Swedish, so I can relate! Looking forward to their next season.
Great show I just finish to see this show in israel
KartofflMuter
I found each episode hilarious and was laughing at hilarious and totally out of place bruce constantly.He'a biscuit floating in chicken soup-all the while petending to be a Matzoh ball. Or maybe he thinks he's toast and grated cheese on onion soup when really he took the wrong turnoff and he's floundering in a puddle. I have no idea how the girl puts up with him. Seriously. In a real cross-cultural relationship,there has to be and enormous pull beyond physical attraction that welds the parties together. I'm not at all sure Bruce has the stamina. American and Swedish isn't a… Read more »
Please bring this show back. I want to see Season 2
Hello, I live in Baltimore, Maryland of the U.S. but I am a longtime admirer of Swedish culture, language and women. I've been to Sweden twice and really enjoyed both visits. Too cold to stay there for long, though. LOL I do think it's terrific that someone is doing a show about Sweden even though it's not very good. The Emma character is fine but I find Bruce's attitude toward her and the country rather obnoxious. From what I remember, the scenes of Bruce and Emma's father in the steam baths were hilarious, really reminded me of the steam bath… Read more »

I love the show! I'm Swedish and now living in the USA. I was happy to hear from my sister who lives in Stockholm, that they are going to make 5 new episodes.
Hi Lena, That's great news about the 5 new episodes! I just wish they would make the Bruce character more humble and with a better and more loving attitude toward Emma and living in Sweden. He doesn't know how good he has it with her. Where in the U.S are you located? I am in Baltimore, Maryland and can't find much to relate to Sweden here except the local IKEA store! LOL I am of German and English background so I don't know where my interest in the Scandinavian (especially Swedish) culture comes from. Perhaps I was Swedish in a… Read more »
Hi Tom. I live in Connecticut, love it here even though the winters are cold just like in Sweden. When I go back to visit my relatives in Stockholm I usually get a good deal flying with SAS. They have lower rates after the holidays and early spring. So tell your girl friend to come and visit you during that time. The rates are lower booking from Sweden too during that time. About the show, I just like to add that I think Swedish people are a lot like that. It really makes me laugh! We are so serious and… Read more »
Hi Again Lena, When will the new episodes air in the U.S.? Will the first season be released on DVD? I felt that the show depicted too much drinking of alcohol by the Swedes. Having met a number of Swedish folks over there and here, I would say they don't drink more than any other nationality. My Swedish girl Angel grew up in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia from a very early age. We spoke on the phone twice but now her service has been disconnected. She contracted typhoid and was in hospital for over two weeks, couldn't work so now she… Read more »

I am swedish… Never saw the show when it was on TV, just saw it on netflix. Please keep it going!!! It is truly a direct reflection of swedish culture…lol!
Do you reside here in the U.S.? If so, where?
How do you feel that the show is a direct reflection of Swedish culture?
I thought the scenes of the Swedish steam baths were both funny and accurate, but felt that there was too much drinking of alcohol on the show.
The scenes with Bruce trying to find a job and attempting to get a driver's license were very funny.
However, I think the Bruce character should be more appreciative of his Emma and living in Sweden, which is a fine country.
Okey Vanwy
Having lived in Sweden for just over a year I find it hilarious. I doubt the average American can relate at all. Perhaps the more educated American is able to relate so I hope the show can survive long term. The show is great and the characters are as well. Bruce is intensely irritating / annoying – somewhat unbelievable as a real life character.
Great show. Very funny. Keep it coming
this is a GREAT show! Very funny, witty, cute, creative, fun, lively, …I LOVE IT!!
Please keep it running!! there are so few good shows on TV.
shawne
Very funny in a subtle and clever way. I appreciate the LACK of a laugh track!
I really love this show….and there aren't many sitcoms i can say that about.
Definitely love this show. Please keep it coming. My girlfriend and I watch it religiously.
The best thing NBC could do is to renew the show NOW!!!!. It is remarkably funny, intelligent and insightful into a culture I knew little of. Greg P is just as funny (maybe more funnier) than the Sis.
*****DO NOT CANCEL THE SHOW- RENEW IT IMMEDIATELY****
Elijah Waters
This shows writing is quite good. Funny & romantic, it alows People to see what it's like to actually put the one whom you Love first . Offering lots of humorous situations between our two different cultures . No one can feel offended. All of this this with a fair amount of wit in the dialog. If this show doesn't make it, it will be no fault of the cast, or crew. But rather the people at the network . They just don't seem to know how to promote much other than crime shows . I wish all the people… Read more »
I love this show! Please keep it. I am from Sweden and married to an American man. Me and my husband think this show is hilarious. It is also so nice to see that they filmed it in Stockholm where I grow up. I really like how they joke about us Swedes and how serious we can be. I have to admit that it's true! We are kind of weird sometimes. But to my defense I must say we are very honest and nice people.

Q: Using data variable to affect dialog I would like to have a dialog common to two different call-to-action buttons (row and not_row).  Each of the buttons would set a different data() variable.  Based on which variable is set, the dialog would react differently.
The following almost works.  Problem is that if row is first clicked, then not_row, $(this).data('row') remains set so the if statement doesn't act accordingly.  One option is to add another data variable in my click function such as data('type','row') and data('type','not_row'), but it seems like a waste.
Any suggestions?

A: This was my solution.  The purpose of this script is to delete records. If on a main page, then pass the ID, delete the record, and reload the page. Or you might delete a row off a list, so pass the row which contains the ID as an attribute, delete the record, and remove the row from the DOM.  My solution was to check whether the passed variable was an object or a number (string).

Colorado Wants Craft Breweries To Capture The CO2 Their Brews Burp Out, And Make Some Cash From It
By Michael Elizabeth Sakas
· Mar. 25, 2020, 4:00 am
Hart Van Denburg/CPR News
Johnny Walthers washes kegs at Denver Brewing Co. in the city's Sunnyside neighborhood. Carbon Dioxide generated during fermentation is sold to The Clinic's grow operation in Denver, where it's used to boost plant growth.
It was a close call for Denver, but liquor stores are still open across Colorado despite COVID-19. That means local breweries will still make their beer.
In a large warehouse in the Sunnyside neighborhood, Denver Beer Co. brews around 20,000 barrels a year. With all of that fermentation comes alcohol and carbon dioxide — a gas that contributes to climate change. The company used to let all of that CO2 bubble out of their brew and into the air.
"But our new technology allows us to hook a hose up to this fermentation tank and put it through a dryer, a filter and a compressor," said Charlie Berger, co-owner of Denver Beer Co. "It creates a liquid gas that we can actually use."
The beer brewing process creates carbon dioxide. At Denver Brewing Co., that CO2 is sequestered and sold to The Clinic Marijuana Center's grow operation in Denver, where it's used to boost plant growth.
The technology is already available for large beer operations. The challenge for Austin-based Earthly Labs was to scale it down and make it affordable for microbreweries. Berger said this was a struggle until the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment connected him with a cannabis company to buy their extra CO2.
Turns out, indoor marijuana plants need the gas to grow.
"It really was a perfect pairing, especially for Colorado. We've got a lot of breweries. We got a lot of cannabis operations," said Kaitlin Urso, an environmental consultant for the state's small businesses through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Beer and cannabis companies from all over have asked Urso how this might work for them too. About two dozen breweries around the country have adopted the technology, and Earthly Lab's CEO Amy George said wineries and distilleries are interested as well. Denver Beer Co. is the first business to have a buyer for its excess CO2.
Chris Baca is the production manager at The Clinic, a cannabis grower. Plants at its Denver operation get a growth boost from carbon dioxide generated during fermentation at the Denver Beer Co.
The Clinic is a medical and recreational cannabis company that grows its marijuana in a Denver warehouse. The company usually buys CO2 from power plants that ship it across the state.
"So the really good thing about this project is that Denver Beer Company is only eight miles away," said Brian Cusworth, director of operations at The Clinic. "So the transportation footprint has been reduced dramatically as well."
Denver Beer Co. reuses some of its captured CO2 for carbonation and they've noticed an improvement in the way their beer tastes. Berger said that's just an added bonus — the reason they adopted the technology was to put a waste stream to good use.
Urso hopes this state pilot program can prove that this business partnership works.

"We can do it cost-effectively, with environmental benefits," Urso said. "So we want to replicate this process. We're encouraging more breweries and more cultivations, and helping them connect them along the way."
While these companies are excited to take environmentally friendly steps, they also see this partnership as a smart business move — both expect a return on investment within the next two years.
For the pilot, The Clinic runs its trials by pumping the two different CO2 sources into separate grow rooms. They'll run different tests on soil, water and yields to make sure there's no negative impact on their product. The state is also tracking how much CO2 is produced, to make sure the brewery can sustain its own needs as well as the needs of the cannabis operation.
In the overall picture of Colorado's CO2 emission sources, these businesses don't have a big impact. Yet breweries emit more CO2 than a lot of other small businesses in Colorado, according to the state. To reach its lofty greenhouse gas reduction goals, the state says it's necessary to look at all solutions, big and small.

More and more people prefer to brew their own drinks nowadays and for good reasons. A homebrew can be customized to taste almost any way you wish if you know what you're doing and if you have the right instruments for the job. Although it's true that crafting a beer can take months just to get the right batch, it certainly beats what most of the low-end beers on the market have to offer in regards to taste and flavor.
Now, we should point out that brewing hard cider is a lot different than brewing a common beer, in more ways than one. For starters, it is definitely a lot easier than brewing beer, not just the process itself but also in terms of the ingredients used for each batch. Considering that the whole process revolves around processing apple juice, it really shouldn't be too hard if you have the right tools for the job.
Speaking of which, let us point out that it is nowadays a lot easier to get your hands on a good homebrewing kit; even easier when it comes to hard cider kits. These kits are designed to not only be easy to use but also easy to care for in regards to their maintenance. That said, we should perhaps mention that they're not all guaranteed to deliver the same brewing standards. Let us then find out what are the ten best hard cider kits the market has to offer and what to look for when buying one.
The Midwest Supplies Cider Essentials Kit features all you need to craft your own hard cider at home. With all the necessary equipment including a brewing bucket, caps and cappers, bottling bucket, and more, this kit helps beginners ferment their own cider in just a few weeks.

It should also be said that the fermenter and bottling bucket it comes equipped with are both of 6.5 gallons each and are made from high-quality materials.
Mangrove Jack's Hard Apple Cider Recipe Kit includes a recipe that is packed with the delicious taste of orchard apples.

Unlike others, this high-quality hard cider brewing kit delivers crisp, light and refreshing cider that is perfect for any time of the year.

The BrewDemon Hard Cider Kit Pro is considered one of the best of its kind when it comes to user-friendly hard cider kits. With all the necessary equipment and ingredients included, this kit can prepare up to 2 gallons of hard cider in just a matter of 14 days and is completely reusable. Including 5.5% ABV hard cider and a delicious fruit recipe which is blueberry hard cider, this kit brews flavor-packed brew every use. Furthermore, the kit includes an adjustable spigot, bottle caps, venting plugs, a temperature gauge, bottle filler, and spoon for mixing, a hose, and labels for personalization.
Ideal for beginners, the Brooklyn Brew Shop Hard Cider Making Kit is easy to use and makes fermenting at home fun and exciting.

The kit comes with a reusable glass fermenter that can hold up to 1 gallon of cider, 3 packets of yeast, a chambered airlock, vinyl tube and clamp, 3 packets of cleanser, a racking cane and tip and a screw-on stopper. With this kit, all you need is apple juice or cider and you can create delicious, tart and bubbly hard cider at home.

The Mr. Beer 2 Gallon Hard Cider Homebrewing Craft Cider Kit includes a reusable, heavy-duty keg with a tap that is resistant to damage and impressively light in weight.

Featuring a glass jug, airlock, rubber plug, tubing/clamp, racking cane and funnel, the "Craft a Brew Hard Cider Kit" comes with all the necessary ingredients and equipment you need to make the perfect hard cider. The kit includes a guide to help you create your own recipe without any hassle. This kit can make up to one gallon of delicious beer and works great with any type of apple juice or cider. However, it does not come with bottles or a brew pot as these must be purchased separately. Even so, it is definitely one of the most convenient and practical hard cider kits money can buy at this point in time.
Considering the fact that the whole brewing process is pretty straightforward in terms of technique and ingredients, you really shouldn't have too many difficulties in crafting your own brew. The challenge, however, comes in the form of creating a quality brew by most standards; and not just one that you and your moderately refined taste can enjoy. For that to happen, you must first develop a deep understanding of the brewing process, which needless to say, may take you quite some time without the right gear. In this respect, let us find out what characteristics should a good hard cider kit have and what to look for when buying one.
Even though not all these kits are built to the same standards, they mostly contain a set of common components that you can employ at various times during the brewing process. These components usually include a mouth bubbler, primary fermentor, bung & airlock, a secondary fermentor, a cap & airlock, adhesive temperature strips, a plastic paddle, auto-siphon & tubing, a bottle filler, capper & caps, and a cleaner & sanitizer for good measure. For the most part, all the good kits possess most of these components, although their shape and form may change ever so slightly from one kit to another.
One thing to remember when buying a hard cider kit is that no matter how seemingly easy the process appears, it still couldn't hurt to have a guide you can rely on in a pinch. Not only can a guide help you through the more tedious parts of the crafting process but it can also help you improve the quality of your brew long-term. You should, therefore, lean towards kits who pack a cider brewing guide, no matter how comprehensive it may be.
Although you shouldn't be using the kit for anything other than crafting hard cider, you still want a certain degree of liberty when it comes to the ingredients you use. As such, you should look for an accommodating kit, one that can make good use of all types of apple juice, yeast, and Camden, regardless of their quality. At the same time, look for a kit that uses versatile fermentors and tubing, as they can help you craft cider with more peculiar flavors.
Another thing you want to consider is just how many times you can reuse the kit. While some kits are equipped with single-use components, the good ones usually enable you to use its comprising utensils over and over again. It may seem counter-intuitive to use a single-use cider kit, and yet many homebrewers prefer them for their ease of use and because they don't have to do a lot of cleaning and maintenance afterward. If, however, you are committed to not only crafting your own cider but also developing your brewing skills in the process, then a long-term, permanent, reusable kit is what you want.
Once you have figured out which kit to buy, you can safely proceed to actually prepare the brew; which depending on the type of cider you want to brew, can be a more or less tedious process. What you want is to get a hold of the ingredients and set them up in a way that allows hem to ferment over a few weeks until the process is complete. Depending on the kit you use, this process can take between 2 and 6 weeks.
The most important ingredient when making cider is the fresh-pressed apple juice. Although there isn't a specific type of apples that you are required to use, you should probably choose apples that are borderline mushy and ripe. You then need a packet of champagne yeast which you can purchase from a variety of vendors. Afterward, you only need to add a Camden tablet to prevent wild yeast, bacteria growth, and the oxidation of your brew.
To avoid using sub-par apple juice, you can go ahead and mash the apples yourself with a press or any similar tool.
Do your best to stay away from store-bought ingredients as they often contain preservatives which can seriously inhibit or prevent the fermentation process altogether.
Sterilize all your brewing equipment with Star San or similar sanitizing chemicals before you get into the brewing process itself.
Make sure that the room temperature doesn't go under or above the 18-23 degrees Celsius margin when waiting for the brew to ferment.
Ensure that your airlocks are half-filled with clean water to make sure that the liquid won't be squirted out of the airlock.
To guarantee that the siphoning components don't get clogged with sediment that gets draw up from the bottom, fit them with a tap at the top or a clip of sorts.
If possible, try to employ a hydrometer for the job as it allows you to better measure the specific gravity of the liquid and the alcohol contents.
When using a barrel, make sure that it has a pressure valve fitted to the cap so as to release any excess pressure that builds up during the fermentation process.

We played Ringolevio in Luna Park in the early 70s, during lunchtime at PS 90 (back when they let kids off the grounds on their own!!). We'd cross the street to our favorite playground and eat our bag lunches, and then after lunch we'd have a great game for 30 minutes, girls against the boys. We used electricity. Different pieces of playground equipment were bases, and there was a jail, which was the ladder fort. The boys base was a concrete turtle shape and the girls base was the curved monkey bars. Played all during the school year, but only on that playground. We were all Luna Park kids. We thought we had made up the game! Ha!

Amal Clooney to lead defence team of Duterte critic

Manila, July 9 (IANS) Acclaimed human rights lawyer Amal Clooney will head the international legal team defending a Philippine media personality who is one of the fiercest critics of President Rodrigo Duterte.
The CEO of the independent news portal Rappler, Maria Ressa, who was selected by Time magazine as one of its 2018 Persons of the Year, faces several criminal charges for alleged tax evasion, cyber libel and violating media nationalization laws, which both she and human rights defenders describe as persecution for her journalistic work that has often railed against Duterte's administration, reports Efe news.
"Maria Ressa is a courageous journalist who is being persecuted for reporting the news and standing up to human rights abuses," Clooney said in a statement released by her London-based law firm, Doughty Street Chambers, on Monday.
"We will pursue all available legal remedies to vindicate her rights and defend press freedom and the rule of law in the Philippines," the Lebanese-British attorney added.
Clooney, together with Caoilfhionn Gallagher - both specializing in international law and human rights - will lead the team of global attorneys that will work in coordination with the Philippine lawyers advising Ressa.
"I am delighted that Amal Clooney and her team will be representing me at the international level to challenge the violations of my rights and those of the media organization I represent," Ressa said in a statement on Tuesday.
Ressa, who in the past was CNN's correspondent for Asia, has been arrested twice this year and has had to post bail up to seven times for her release while awaiting trial.
She is the recipient of the 2018 Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award presented by the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists and won the 2018 Knight International Journalism Award in Washington.
The head of Rappler, a website established in 2012 that has since gone on to become one of the most influential news sites of the Philippines, claims that all the charges against her are an attempt to silence her and in retaliation for her critical reporting on Duterte, especially the abuses committed in the anti-drugs campaign he launched after coming to power in 2016.
The Philippine president has not concealed his animosity towards the media, and particularly Rappler, which he has accused of being financed by the CIA, in addition to trying to revoke its license and denying its reporters access to the presidential palace.
Clooney, appointed special envoy for media freedom by the British government, has also defended two Reuters journalists who were jailed for more than 16 months in Myanmar after exposing an army-sponsored massacre and released in May.


We will meet in Holywells Park lower section (174 m from the Myrtle Road entrance as marked on the map; on road parking available near both Myrtle Road and Cliff Lane entrances to the park if required).
To be clear on how this is intended to work: the person bringing the children (i.e. the parent or guardian) remains fully responsible for them at all times. Beyond that the organisers will put some activities together that are suited to the kids' ages (and will be looking to get as many of the adults involved as possible too!).


text: r e v i e w 15 Welcome Home! Seán O'Reilly, IHBC Director The IHBC has successfully identified itself as the 'home of the conservation professional'. I want to explain here how our recent work has marked out the IHBC as the home for those with specialist interests in conservation, and to look ahead to how we might support the conservation family. Many join the IHBC for the substantial recognition that our profile and professionalism bring to their career and work. Others appreciate the great value, high quality and relevant support we provide for CPD (continuing professional development). The benefits of IHBC membership are wide ranging: publications, training, information, advice, networking services and, as we are a charity, the good causes we serve. More than ever, conservation professionals seek from us both collective support for their values, and added capacity to help them do their job better. The leading professional bodies in the building industry increasingly reflect the more environmentally aware aspects of the 21st century by extending conservation skills within their membership. We welcome any initiatives that raise standards within professions, although the IHBC continues as the gold standard for the conservation professional. This is for good reasons. IHBC members are uniquely required to demonstrate a suitable level of understanding of the diverse values and potential of place, and they use this to inform their advice on conservation. IHBC's membership often only commences with conservation skills cultivated within an individual's own specialist area. Professional or Full Member status registers a capacity and responsibility that extends far beyond a single specialism or discipline. For all that high aspiration, we are also very conscious of the need to welcome the full breadth of interests in our built and historic places. We work closely with partners across those different areas, from substantial professional bodies working in the mainstream construction industry, to forum bodies representing the most diverse of community interests, such as the newly-re-titled Heritage Alliance (formerly Heritage Link), and the Built Environment Forum Scotland. We also take great care to reflect our UK membership in its entirety, although of course there is no single answer to the challenges of devolved interests. Above all, we realise that many of the people who have an interest in conservation but are not conservation professionals as such, can benefit from access to our services. The wider distribution of benefits outweighs any more immediate impact on membership numbers. Support and services While we have always seen ourselves as the 'home of the conservation professional', it is only over the last few years as our achievements have become better known that we have secured wider recognition for the primacy of the IHBC. The institute is now established as the home for our members, bringing them together through the services, benefits, advocacy and culture we support. The IHBC NewsBlog, our website's homepage news service and its associated email alerts, has been our most important recent development in securing that sense of home. It provides a quick, updated distillation of current news for the sector across the UK. The NewsBlog is necessarily selective: we can't overburden members with the full spectrum The home of the conservation professional free offer! The IHBC offers a unique range of support and services for anyone interested in the conservation of our historic buildings and places. If you're not familiar with our work, and you'd like to see how we might be able to help you in the future, just contact our national office and we'll arrange for you to sample some of the benefits of IHBC membership. We hope that, if you like them, you'll consider joining us and supporting our diverse community of professionals and supporters. We'd also like to show you the kind of home we have created for people who care about our historic environment and the way we look after it.
