We're talking about those meal staples we pick up without thinking - chicken breast, salmon fillet, mince, eggs, potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, to name but a few. Jamie will share 7 achievable, exciting and tasty ways to cook each of these hero foods, requiring minimal time, effort and a maximum of only 8 ingredients.
A Cheese-Monger's History of the British Isles
'We don't live alone ... We are responsible for each other' A policeman interrupts a rich family's dinner to question them about the suicide of a young working-class girl. As their guilty secrets are gradually revealed over the course of the evening, 'An Inspector Calls', J. B. Priestley's most famous play, shows us the terrible consequences of poverty and inequality.
Being the Supervet
It has been 30 years since Noel Fitzpatrick graduated as a veterinary surgeon, and that 22-year-old from Ballyfin, Ireland, is now one of the leading veterinary surgeons in the world. The journey to that point has seen Noel treat thousands of animals - many of whom were thought to be beyond help - animals that have changed his life, and the lives of those around them, for the better. If the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Listening to the Animals was about Noel's path to becoming The Supervet, then How Animals Saved My Life is about what it's like to actually be The Supervet. Noel shares the moving and often funny stories of the animals he's treated and the unique 'animal people' he has met along the way. He reflects on the valuable lessons of Integrity, Care, Love and Hope that they have taught him - lessons that have sustained him through the unbelievable highs and crushing lows of a profession where lives are quite literally at stake.
Blackpool Lass
Orphaned and destitute, will Grace find her own way in the world? When Grace's Ma passes away and her Da's ship sinks with all hands, Grace is utterly alone in the world. She's sent to an orphanage in Blackpool, but the master has an eye for a pretty young lass. Grace won't be his victim, so she runs, destitute, into the night. In Blackpool, she finds a home with the kindly Sheila and Peggy - and meets a lovely airman. But it's 1938, and war is on the horizon. Will Grace ever find the happiness and home she deserves?
Blackpool Sisters
1902. Babs and Beth are identical in looks, but very different by nature. Kidnapped by gypsies a decade ago as young girls, Beth has accepted their plight, but Babs has always yearned for their real mother, Tilly, and their beloved hometown of Blackpool. Desperate to be reunited with their mother, Babs hatches a plan to escape. But Beth is too afraid and Babs realises if she ever wants to go home she'll have to leave her sister behind. 1914. Babs' life has been blighted by misfortune ever since she walked away from her sister. She's never given up hope of finding her family, but now having found peace and purpose as a nurse, the war is sending her to France, away from them. Or so she believes . . .
Blackpool's Angel
Tilly has come a long way from the run-down tenements in which she grew up. She has a small but comfortable home, a loving, handsome husband, two beautiful little'uns - Babs and Beth - and she earns herself a little money weaving wicker baskets. Life is good. Until the day Tilly returns home to find a policeman standing on her doorstep. Her Arthur won't be coming home tonight - nor any night - having fallen to his death whilst working on Blackpool tower. Suddenly Tilly is her daughters' sole protector, and she's never felt more alone. With the threat of destitution nipping at their heels, Tilly struggles to make ends meet and keep a roof over her girls' heads. In a town run by men Tilly has to ask herself what she's willing to do to keep her family together and safe - and will it be enough?

Baltimore's Waterfront Promenade represents a unique public and private partnership that has ensured public access to the city's most cherished natural asset – its harbor. It is a public pedestrian walkway/shared use bicycle path that functions as a waterfront sidewalk for development sites and public spaces that have emerged from the former industrial waterfront. The concept of the eight-mile promenade was established in the 1960's as a key component in the Inner Harbor Master Plan – a visionary plan that proposed massive redevelopment of land adjacent to the historic harbor that was the basis for the founding of Baltimore in 1729.
The current promenade represents a mixture of public and privately owned land. The information on this page will assist in identifying the status of a specific portion or promenade and whether it is owned and managed by the City of Baltimore or a private entity. The following maps provide a quick reference tool to assist in identifying this ownership information. All complete portions that are privately owned have a corresponding Promenade Easement agreement which outlines the public access the responsibilities of each party involved.

Structural and Functional Insights Into Mammalian SWI/SNF Complex Misassembly in Oncogenesis
POYNTER-DISSERTATION-2018.pdf (19.14Mb)
Poynter, Steven T.
Poynter, Steven T. 2018. Structural and Functional Insights Into Mammalian SWI/SNF Complex Misassembly in Oncogenesis. Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
Mammalian SWI/SNF (mSWI/SNF) complexes are approximately 1-1.5-MDa ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers responsible for nucleosome repositioning, hierarchical chromatin organization, and recruitment of ancillary transcriptional machinery to promoters and enhancers. The mSWI/SNF complex family is comprised of three types of chromatin remodeling complexes that are compositionally and functionally distinct including the BAF complex, PBAF complex, and the recently discovered ncBAF complex. The BAF and PBAF complexes are composed of up to fifteen subunits, many of which have spatially and temporally restricted paralogues that are thought to function in targeting specificity through combinatorial assembly mechanisms. The ncBAF complex is a minimized complex containing several core components found in both BAF and PBAF complexes, suggesting a similar chromatin remodeling functionality. Nevertheless, functional assays have yet to be conducted. Strikingly, mutations in genes encoding for mSWI/SNF subunits are found in greater than 20% of cancers. Given the compositional complexity of each of the mSWI/SNF complexes, many of these mutations have been postulated to perturb their assembly pathway, producing residual complexes with aberrant biological functions. The oncogenic potential of BAF and PBAF complex misassembly is perhaps most apparent in SMARCB1 deficient tumor types, including malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT), atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT), and a subset of epithelioid sarcomas (EpS). Herein, I demonstrate that the bi-allelic inactivation of SMARCB1 in these tumor types results in destabilization of both BAF and PBAF complexes, and the formation of a novel residual PBAF-like complex through alteration of PBRM1 stoichiometry. Although my collaborators have noted that elevated expression of PBAF specific subunits in AT/RT patients is correlated with poor prognosis, biochemical efforts taken to identify residual PBAF-like complexes as a lethal target in this disease have yielded conflicting results. However, during these studies I unexpectedly determined that ncBAF, the only mSWI/SNF complex that does not integrate SMARCB1 in normal conditions, to have an important maintenance function in these tumor types. Nevertheless, I show that PBAF complexes play a role in the up-regulation of genes involved in mTOR signaling, and also in the down-regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase degraders during oncogenic transformation mediated by SMARCB1 loss. Throughout these studies, I have also demonstrated that PBAF subunit PBRM1 likely exists in a homodimeric state in wild type PBAF complexes. I have also identified BRD7 as an anchor for PBRM1 binding to the PBAF complex core, an event that could potentially give insight into disease mechanisms that include bi-allelic loss of BRD7 as well as PBRM1, which includes a wide spectrum of human cancers.

Collective strength: How business and communities can work together through Place-based working
by 13 June 2019 12:00 pm
Kirstie Mackey, of Barclays UK, on how collaboration between businesses and other stakeholders can create thriving economies – and the steps the bank is undertaking to achieve this
Meet Business in the Community's Place Leadership Team
The UK has the skills, ambition and entrepreneurialism to succeed, but we will only do so if we focus on meeting the challenges we face in a truly inclusive way.
As a UK-wide business, Barclays works at a local level to identify the opportunities and challenges to creating thriving economies. We focus on the skills and needs of all people; whether entering the world of work for the first time, looking to start or grow a business, looking to change career, or to keep working in later life.
To achieve this, working in collaboration is imperative, focusing on bringing all kinds of businesses and other stakeholders together to help understand those opportunities and challenges in a place, identify who is already working to tackle the key issues, and how we can get involved. This enables the community to leverage collective strengths and expertise to understand and enable people to own their own solutions, innovate through listening, co-design by involving those who will be impacted by our work. All of this will happen while reviewing and refining our approach.
Barclays has launched Thriving Local Economies in Kilmarnock, Scotland, a programme that aims to join forces with local authorities, academics, schools and business groups to boost economic growth, to ultimately enable every part of the UK to prosper. It seeks to ensure that every part of the country can fulfil its potential and better understand how businesses can play a role in helping local economies thrive. We launched our first major support for Kilmarnock with a LifeSkills programme for 12-14-year-old students across secondary schools in the town, and Business in the Community (BITC) joined us to kick start this programme, with our Chief Executive Officer, Jes Staley.
We will support businesses on the ground, over and above our lending to them, as they seek to adapt and grow in the new economy – helping to take advantage of the opportunities that being truly integrated in communities provides. We are launching four pilots in different types of economies: metropolitan, small towns, rural areas and coastal areas, to help identify the drivers of, and barriers to, success. Working with others in the community, we will commit to take actions in each place, to help businesses and the economy to grow.
Guide: The four steps to delivering a Place-based approach
Bury was chosen as the first pilot area in 2018. Over a three-year programme, we are now working closely with Bury Council, schools, business, and community and voluntary groups, to develop further projects that will look to support small business growth and prepare Bury with the skills needed for the future. We are taking a collaborative approach to understanding the issues, innovating new approaches to address these, and sharing our successes and learnings within Bury and more widely.
I am delighted to represent Barclays on the BITC Place Leadership Team and proud to support the launch of the guide to delivering a Place-based approach to support other businesses learn from what has worked for others. Its only through long-term collaboration that we can begin to shift the dial in places that need support. I am excited to be part of the senior leadership group taking on this challenge and actively working across our business to bring others – from across all sectors - to the table to collectively harness the opportunities and empower communities to create the places that work for them.

American Thanksgiving - A Bad Day to be a Turkey
Saturday, November 28, 2020 - By: Damien B, Privett '21
Although Canadian Thanksgiving is an incredible experience for everyone at Brentwood, American Thanksgiving holds a special place in the hearts of the patriotic Americans the school welcomes. Through joyous feasting and celebration, as well as the unwavering dedication of the food services staff, Crooks Hall was filled to the brim with glee.
Once again, due to Covid-19, the student body was divided into two groups, one eating after the other. Despite the unfortunate but necessary mitigation strategies the school used, the campus atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
Earlier, during assembly, we were wholesomely reminded of the many things we can be thankful for by none other than Mr Patel. His way with words paved the way for a positive attitude during the sports activities and carried into the fantastic dinner. Mr Patel kindly noted that "The key for any family… is commitment and trust, and these elements in a family are tested every day, all the time. As always, this week reminded me: it starts in the house, and that's the backbone of our family… the family within the family." I am confident next year will be just as, if not more, memorable.
The dishes, of course, were as delicious as always. The turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, assorted greens, and pumpkin pie all came together to astound our pallets once more. A noticeably large number of students went back for seconds.
In addition to the dishes, there were some awe-inspiring vocal performances from the staff during dinner. Mr Doehler gave a refreshing and robust rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," invoking a wave of patriotism from the American students. Mr McGill instrumentally accompanied Mr Rodrigues singing "Autumn Leaves," eliciting cries of "Let's go RJ!" from Privett House. Mr McGill and Ms Bryant then, in a duet, sang "Shallows" and left the student body with their mouths agape in wonder. After a standing ovation, the students returned to their dormitories full of good food and kind sentiment.

Lee Ann has begun recording her next project, Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret by Tony Jerris. This non-fiction book details the friendship between the movie star and Jane Lawrence from the time Jane was first appointed president of Marilyn's fan club at the tender age of 12 until Marilyn's untimely death. Jane's father was head of legal affairs at RKO Studios where the young starlet, Marilyn, was under contract. That's how Jane ended up with the enviable job with the fan club.
This is Jane's story as much as it is about Marilyn Monroe. Being around famous actors and directors was not unusual for Jane but, even for her, Marilyn Monroe was special. Lee Ann is excited to bring the story of Jane and Marilyn to audio.

Matthew Luhn was the evening's featured speaker, sharing insights and inspiration from over 20 years of creating stories and characters at Pixar Animation. Luhn focused on the importance of telling a great story and reminded us that stories are what people really remember. A good story takes you on a journey and gets you to care about the characters involved. It's also essential to business, growth and of course, Sioux Falls.
With a name from Pixar in the house, the pressure was on to create something visually beautiful and memorable. Producing shows like this often take an entire year to concept and plan — all for two and half minutes of spectacle. But our design and production team love doing them. What's more, as members of the Sioux Falls' business community, we feel it's very important to promote it. That's why, even after the show, they are busy brainstorming the next one.
For this year's show, we enlisted a live conductor directing the prerecorded Augustana University Orchestra. We mixed in additional live elements and additional video effects. A live college choir joined in the fun, as did an on-stage rock guitarist and even a saxophonist. That's right, we added a saxophonist to an orchestra. That is not your typical woodwind.
What makes live production so rewarding is not only the challenge, but the combination of things it takes: creativity, technical skills, pre-production, animation, video, audio, partnerships…and a little imagination.

While on stage, the material girl was booed by her fans when she announced to them her plans to have a post-election celebratory wardrobe malfunction in honor of President Barack Obama's reelection, should he win.
"That's right," said Madonna to her concert going fans, using finger air quotes to emphasize her point. "I'll have a 'wardrobe malfunction' just for you, if you vote for Obama and he's reelected. But you got to vote for him and he has to get reelected, okay?"
Madonna then turned to her band and dancers ready to begin her set when someone in the audience spoke up.
"Keep them on," heckled a fan from somewhere in the audience. "Or else, we'll vote for the other guy."
The crowd cheered in agreement.
"You don't understand," replied Madonna, turning to face the crowd. "I meant that I'd get naked, really naked. Just for you. Right here on this stage, if you vote for President Obama and he's reelected."
The crowd booed in disapproval.
A disillusioned Madonna just shrugged her shoulders and smiled nervously not knowing what to do.
"Just sing," yelled out another fan.
The crowd applauded in agreement.
Backstage somebody in Madonna's entourage signaled the band to play and the dancers to dance when she suddenly signaled for them to stop.
"Let me get this straight," said a disgruntled Madonna, walking out to the very edge of the catwalk. "You mean you don't want to see this magnificent 50-year-old body naked?"
"No!" unanimously yelled out the throng.
"You do realize 50 is the new 20, right?" asked Madonna.
"It's not!" echoed the crowd.
The band began to play again and the dancers began dancing again when Madonna signaled for them to stop again.
Madonna looked out to the crowd and for a moment she looked as if she was about to cry when a look of bliss suddenly came over her face.
"Oh I get it now," said Madonna in full denial. "You're all Mitt Romney supporters. That's cool. I can live with that."
Madonna signaled the band to begin playing and the dancers to dance, drowning out the crowds' response.
"♫Like a virgin♫," sang Madonna with all her heart. Only this time, as if to herself.

Herman Cain Blames Rick Perry; Rick Blames Mitt Romney; Mitt Blames Mel Gibson; Mel Blames the Jews
Malibu, California --
Herman Cain broke Ronald Reagan's Golden Rule of "Thou Shall Not Attack a Fellow Republican" this week when he openly blamed Rick Perry for leaking to the media his sexual harassment settlement back when he was the president for the National Restaurant Association on Capitol Hill.
That, however, was just the opening salvo in what turned out to be a Republican bloodbath. For just as quickly, Rick Perry turned around and blamed fellow Republican, Mitt Romney for the Cain leak. Mitt Romney then pointed his finger at Mel Gibson, who, without hesitation, blamed the Jews.
Siting by the telephone at his Malibu home, Mel Gibson, actor and director, awaits a phone call from his court appointed anti-anti-Semitic rage counselor, Rabbi David Herschel.
"I don't have to talk to him," said a nervous Mel Gibson as he puffed away at a cigarette. "It's just…I feel like I owe him an explanation."
Mel Gibson claims he and Rabbi Herschel have become close friends since his arrest for a DUI several years' back, which he blames the alcohol for his anti-Semitic tirade.
"I hope he can understand," said Mel Gibson, lifting up the receiver to check if the phone was working. Then quickly putting it down, once he heard the dial tone.
According to Mel Gibson, the court appointed Rabbi Herschel to teach him that the Jews are not to blame for the woes of the world, or the death of Jesus Christ.
Suddenly, the phone rings. It is the call Mel Gibson has been waiting for.
"What happen, Mel?" asked Rabbi Herschel. "You were doing so well."
"I know. I know," lamented Mel Gibson, slapping his forehead with the palm of his hand. "It must have been a knee-jerk reaction."
"Listen, Mel," said a comforting Rabbi Herschel. "I understand. Old habits are hard to break. But the important thing is that you still believe me when I tell you the Jews are not to blame for the woes of the world, right?"
"Right," Mel Gibson agreed.
"And you still believe me when I tell you the Jews are not to blame for the death of Jesus Christ, right?" asked Rabbi Herschel.
"Right," again agreed, Mel Gibson.
"So then," said Rabbi Herschel. "What's all this nonsense about the Jews being responsible for the Cain leak? You know the Jews are not to blame for that, right?"
Silence filled the phone line.
"Right, Mel?" repeated Rabbi Herschel. "Mel?"
"Well," Mel Gibson finally responded. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Rabbi Herschel."

Herman Cain's Subliminal Message Hidden in His Political YouTube Ad: I'm Not Just Blowing Smoke Up Your [BLEEP], Baby!
Herman Cain's Manager
"Just Blowing Smoke"?
Madison Avenue, New York –
Everyone is abuzz about Herman Cain's controversial political campaign ad, which features his campaign manager (left) blowing cigarette smoke into the camera.
Many have formed theories as to what it could mean, but only one man, a former Madison Avenue ad executive, claims to know what it is all about.
"What is Mr. Cain saying to the American voter?" said Albert Brayne, a retired ad executive who specialized in subliminal advertising. "That's easy. He's saying: 'I'm not just blowing smoke up your [BLEEP], baby!"
According to Brayne, Cain's controversial political campaign is peppered with hidden images of the female buttocks.
"Only they flash on the screen too fast for the naked eye to see," said Brayne, who has analyzed the Cain YouTube ad frame by frame, using specialized equipment to confirm his findings. "But they're there, as plain as the nose on your face. You just can't see them."
Brayne says that although the suggestive images are invisible, the mind's eye can still see them. Leaving a formidable and lasting impression on the mind of the average person.
"The untrained eye of the general public is most susceptible to subliminal advertising," said Brayne. "Making them most likely to buy into any message without question."
Only people, like Brayne, with a trained eye are able to detect subliminal images or messages without the use of optical enhancement equipment, seeing them for what they really are.
"Of course, there are exceptions to every rule," said Brayne. "For example, sex maniacs. They are able to see sexual subliminal images without the use of any special equipment."
