La bataille de la Première barre (Battle of First Bar) est un affrontement entre les forces britanniques et chinoises sur l'île de la Première barre et ses environs dans la rivière des Perles au Guangdong le  durant la première guerre de l'opium.

Après la bataille du Bogue qui leur ouvre l'accès à la rivière des Perles, les Britanniques poursuivent leur route vers Canton, la plus grande ville du sud de la Chine, avec pour première étape les batteries d'artillerie de l'île de la Première barre.

Contexte
Le , l'ancien commissaire impérial Lin Zexu écrit que  soldats réguliers du Hunan et autant du Yunnan sont arrivés par lots à Canton. Il rencontre le général Hsiang-fu des troupes du Hunan dans l'après-midi, puis le général Yung-fu le lendemain. Le 24 février, Lin, le commissaire impérial Qishan, et d'autres hauts responsables inspectent les défenses de la rivière des Perles, et passent la nuit à Lieh-te, à 11 km à l'est de Canton. L'inspection se poursuit le lendemain et se termine à l'aube le 26 février à Ta-huang-chiao, à 13 km au sud de Canton.

Bataille

Le matin du 27 février, les , , , , , et les vapeurs Madagascar et Nemesis passent le détroit de  à l'entrée de la rivière des Perles. Le lieutenant John Elliot Bingham du Modeste écrit : « Alors que ces navires filaient à toute allure, le rivage était bordé de milliers d'habitants regardant les barbares audacieux, beaucoup d'entre eux, sans aucun doute, leur souhaitant secrètement le succès ». Le commodore , commandant en chef des forces britanniques, place le capitaine  du Calliope à la tête de la flotte. Après avoir passé les îles du Tigre et de la Seconde barre, elle arrive près de l'île de la Première barre à midi. Là, les Britanniques repèrent le , un ancien indiaman, hissant le drapeau rouge d'un amiral chinois. Les longues fortifications chinoises faisant face à la rivière disposent de 47 canons, et des rangées de tentes blanches dans les rizières alentours indiquent un grand nombre de troupes tartares. Plus de 40 jonques de guerre se trouvent plus loin sur la rivière.

Au fur et à mesure que les vapeurs avancent, les batteries chinoises ouvrent le feu, ce auquel les Britanniques ripostent vigoureusement avec des obus et des roquettes. Le Modeste se rapproche à moins de 270 mètres du rivage et tire des bordées avant que les autres navires ne rejoignent la canonnade. Les forces chinoises font preuve d'une défense déterminée, mais ne peuvent pas résister aux bordées. Les obus et les roquettes du Madagascar et du Nemesis ont un effet destructeur, mettant le feu à une grande partie du camp. Le Cambridge ouvre le feu, mais est rapidement submergé par l'artillerie des navires britanniques. Son équipage saute par-dessus bord pour rejoindre le rivage. Bien que les jonques fassent beaucoup de bruit, elles restent hors de portée de la flotte britannique.

Au bout d'une heure, les batteries chinoises sont presque réduites au silence et les forces britanniques débarquent. Herbert rapporte : « J'ai débarqué avec les marins et les marines [...] et j'ai pris d'assaut les ouvrages, poussant devant nous plus de deux mille de leurs meilleures troupes et en tuant près de trois cents ». Bingham écrit : « Alors que l'ennemi fuyait devant le groupe du lieutenant Stransham, il tenta de traverser un profond bras de la rivière, dans lequel nombre d'hommes ont péri, et où beaucoup d'autres ont été abattus ». Les Britanniques capturent les forts environnant une demi-heure après le débarquement.

Au cours des opérations terrestres, le lieutenant Watson du Calliope et d'autres officiers montent à bord du Cambridge, et s'en emparent après une brève résistance des quelques membres d'équipage chinois restant. Le navire est équipé de 34 canons. L'ordre est envoyé à l'officier d'y mettre le feu. Peu après la tombée de la nuit, le feu fait exploser sa réserve de munition, projetant les mâts et le maître-bau dans les airs. Herbert écrit que l'explosion est si forte qu'elle « a dû être entendue jusqu'à Canton ». Un total de 98 canons chinois est capturé pendant la journée. Les pertes britanniques sont d'un marin tué, six marins blessés et deux marines blessés. Le marin mort sur le Modeste avait cogné par inadvertance le chien de son mousquet contre un banc du navire et s'était tiré accidentellement une balle dans la tête.

Conséquences
Le 28 février, Lin Zexu écrit : « J'ai entendu dire qu'hier les rebelles anglais ont brisé la résistance à Wu-yung. Les réguliers du Hunan y étaient stationnés et ont subi de lourdes pertes, leur commandant Hsiang-fu faisant également parti des tués ». Lin déclare que 100 miliciens entraînés sont arrivés par la suite du camp de Hsiang-fu, mais n'ont pas atteint Wu-yung à temps pour participer à la bataille, et que dans l'après-midi, Qishan, , et Yiliang se sont réunis pour discuter de la situation.

Long Orchard
Part of West Farm, in Yeovil Marsh
Long Orchard (Parcel 1370) was a long, narrow orchard of West Farm in Yeovil Marsh.
The 1846 Tithe Apportionment noted that it was owned by Reverend John Jenkins Mathews and let to James Pope. Mathews owned far more parcels of land than just West Farm, and Pope farmed them all. Long Orchard was recorded as an orchard measuring 1a 2r 19p.
Long Orchard (Parcel 1370) was bounded on the south by West Farm farmhouse and garden (Parcel 1364), on the west by Higher Paddock (Parcel 1365) to the north by Yeovil Marsh's main street and to the east by Tything Plot (Parcel 1371) and Summerleaze (Parcel 1363).
By the time of the 1919 sale of the six Marsh farms, Long Orchard was part of West Farm, but it had been combined with Tything Plot (Parcel 1371) and Farthing's Orchard (Parcel 1372) to form a single larger field measuring 4a 3r 23p that was used as pasture for grazing livestock.

Pasquale heads north after La Jolla success
By misrael
The Del Mar area's newest addition to the restaurant and nightlife scene launched its grand opening on July 16, in time for the start of the new race season. Located at Polo Plaza, Pasquale Del Mar occupies the former sight of Scalini's Restaurant, which closed its doors after 23 years in business.
The new owners include, Pasquale Angelotti of Pasquale La Jolla along with baseball great Steve Finley as operating partner and a group of backers rumored by industry sources to consist of several Padres players, the wife of a pro skater and three billionaires. The group has brought a mix of home style Italian cuisine into a contemporary environment in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the United States.
With a reported budget of $1 million, Amy Finley (wife of Steve Finley) of Finley Design has created a clean, sophisticated and upscale environment. A covered patio provides a bird's eye view of the polo fields directly across the street. Two private dining rooms are available for special events. The Finley Lounge provides plenty of seating and offers direct access to the full service bar.
Considered one of the most bankable names in the restaurant business, Angelotti admitted that the recipe for his success is good food and getting the money back in the hands of his investors. Confessing that he can't cook a thing, Angelotti said that his partner Vincenzo Mauri of Umbria handles matters related to the kitchen and menu. The two have worked together for the past 15 years.
"We've got a great relationship," Angelotti said. "Now we only fight once every other week. We're like a husband and wife team."
Having proven himself on Prospect Street, considered to be the toughest street for a restaurant in San Diego, Angelotti said that he isn't taking anything for granted. The new restaurant has become his number one priority. He isn't relying on any formula to duplicate the success of his La Jolla location. "Although many of the players are the same, everything is different," he said.
Angelotti's approach to the restaurant business focuses on hospitality first and service second. The underlying belief being that if you're nice to people, the service aspect will take care of itself. Several longtime employees said that if he doesn't know your name on the way into the restaurant, he'd definitely know it on the way out.
"I'm stuck in the witness protection program," said the accomplished and charismatic restaurateur as he described how it was that he came to settle in San Diego. Originally from the Bronx in New York, Angelotti was on his way to work in a restaurant in Scottsdale Arizona and only expected to stay here for three months. "I never made it," he said.
While working as a waiter at Tuscany's in La Costa, Bob Friedman offered to bankroll Pasquale if he ever decided to go into business for himself. Eventually taking him up on his offer, the two opened a restaurant in the Hyatt Regency La Jolla in 1994, which was later relocated next to George's in the Village.

You are on your way home, carpooling, from a long day at work and are unlucky enough to get involved in a car accident. What happens if you're injured? What do you do in regards to insurance companies? How do you file injury claims? Luckily, you have us at Injury Assistance Law Firm on your side. We offer you the best car accident lawyer in Orlando. If you are injured as a passenger in Florida by a car crash, you need to understand how the law applies to you. This helps when you proceed with a claim. We are here to show you what you need to do and how an auto accident attorney can help.
If a driver is injured, liability may be an issue. But keep in mind that if you are a passenger, you are not liable for the car accidents which makes filing your claim easier. This is good! If you suffered from a severe injury due to negligence, an auto injury attorney can help you determine what options you have in order to receive compensation and who you should hold accountable. If the accident you were involved in was a one-car accident, for instance, a car striking a tree, in almost all cases the driver will be liable for your injuries. If you are involved in a two-car accident, one or both driver may be responsible for your injuries.
Additionally, a vehicle can cause an accident due to faulty vehicle parts. In this case, you may be able to file a claim against the vehicle or parts manufacturer. Don't forget you can only file a lawsuit if there is negligence involved. What this means is that someone had a duty to you but failed to deliver that duty.
A good example for when you can not file a claim would be a single-car collision with an animal that jumped out in front of the vehicle, or if you get into an accident but your injuries did not require medical treatment, like bruises or scrapes.
Immediately after the impact, check and make sure everyone involved is okay and safe. Get yourself to a safe location away from traffic or any hazards. This is when you collect insurance information. This step is essential. You will need to obtain insurance information form all of the drivers involved.
In Florida, we are governed by Personal Injury Protection Laws. This means your insurance plan must cover up to $10,000 in medical cost before you can file for damages. Be sure you keep all documentation of your medical treatments before you file a claim with the insurance company. The compensation will be for medical expenses, lost time from work, and pain and suffering based on certain limits. If you think that you are entitled to more money than the insurance company is offering, you need to contact an auto accident attorney.
The idea of becoming involved in Florida car crashes can be scary, especially if you are the passenger. It can get pretty confusing how to handle the law when you are not the driver. Luckily, we are the best car accident lawyer. Here at Injury Assistance Law Firm, we are dedicated to ensuring you get all the information you need to take action. Our Orlando office is equipped with an auto accident attorney. Our experts are driven to fight for you and get you protected. Visit or call us today for more information.

Action Makes Anything Possible. Here's Why I Know
By Saraholeary @saraholeary
All WDS photos by Armosa Studios
A couple of weeks ago I returned home from a week crammed with insight, inspiration and transformation. Infused with energy during the 400 mile drive, I sang my favorite songs and listened to podcasts that reinforced my sense of possibility.
For the previous three days, while attending a conference called the World Domination Summit, I'd been deluged with stories, real-life examples, testimonials that showed me:
Anything, really anything, is possible if I just take action.
Now, that's not exactly a news flash, not for me, you, or anyone who has opened their mind to ideas of personal development. But something switched over for me as I witnessed one successful person after another recounting their story, which nearly always began with "I had no idea what I was doing…."
Wait a minute. What?
I mean, all of you people who start amazing charities, create businesses that allow you to travel the world, write bestselling books, change lives by offering your talents – don't all of you have copious amounts of confidence and belief in your own talents?
Haven't you all been gifted by the creator with double helpings of said talent and competence? Didn't you all immerse yourself in study and apprenticeship so you could approach your big project with the proper knowledge and training??
Um, no, apparently not.
In fact, I'd estimate that 90 percent of the successful, passionate entepreneurs, authors and activists I spoke with at World Domination Summit started their journey without the slightest idea of how exactly they would reach their destination.
In a matter of hours, my hundreds of reasons and excuses for not doing what I say I want to do were shot out of the air where they so reassuringly winged their way around me. Plop. Dead on arrival.
My ass had been officially kicked. Like really.
And I'm still smarting.
All The Excuses Fall Apart
It didn't just start with WDS. An earthquake of transformation has been building in me for some time – it's a natural side effect of the power surge of menopause. Portals of possibility have opened in my mind through conversations with movers and shakers I admire, through coaching, through the work I am doing in courses such as Summer Camp For Solopreneurs.
Hiking the rhododendron trail near Breitenbush
But mostly it's been brewing inside. Two days before WDS began I hiked in the ancient forest surrounding Breitenbush Hot Springs. I walked along the narrow path, surrounded by glossy leaves of wild rhododendrons, shafts of sunlight bursting through gaps in the tall conifer.
A huge epiphany occurred for me during that hike, where I eventually found myself in tears on my knees. My monkey mind is often too busy to hear my inner guidance, but this day was different. In a matter of moments my excuses were methodically deconstructed and reassembled.
I knew right then that it was time to make a big change in my life, one I'd been thinking about for a while but had seemed impossible to actually manifest.
I'll be sharing more details on this later. It was just so interesting that all this happened before I arrived at WDS, where I knew I would meet fascinating people, be inspired by motivating speakers, and make amazing connections with like-minded writers and entrepreneurs.
What I didn't know was that almost every interaction I experienced would reinforce the message I'd received from my own inner guidance.
What exactly did happen at the World Domination Summit? And what is it anyway?
Although the name sounds a bit – well, kinky, or at least reminiscent of superheros and comic books, the actual event has nothing to do with either. Well, maybe a little with the super heroes…
The theme or underlying question bracing this event is this:
How do you live a remarkable life in a conventional world?
I see it as a gathering of kindred spirits on a mission to change the world, make it a better place, through their creations. Those creations are often businesses, sometimes nonprofits. They are books, works of art, teachings, really anything.
One thing that attracted me to this 'tribe' is the universal acceptance that prosperity and good works are not mutually exclusive. This is a concept I've been wrestling with for a while and I'm still sorting my way to solution in my own life.
Excited to share everything I learned at the Summit with you. I sat down and wrote a blow-by-blow summary that began to creep toward 5,000 words.
Hmm, probably a bit more than you want to read. So instead I'll give you a few of my own most potent take-aways from the weekend. If you're intrigued and want the full rundown, shoot me an email and I'll send you the long version.
As someone who loves to connect with people, look them in the eyes, share ideas, inspirations collaborations – the most enthralling part of the event for me was the opportunity to meet and connect with so many fascinating, brilliant and like-minded individuals.
Whether it was at a formally planned meet-up, or in line for the ladies room, I encountered a plethora of new friends and people I'd love to get to know better.
And of course the conference included keynote speakers, smaller workshops, dance parties – and all the usual accoutrements of such an undertaking. (Oh, and some less usual ones – such as bungee jumping into the Columbia River – I took a pass on that one, but photos prove it happened.)
When Chris Guillebeau, the creator of the event, walked on the stage to welcome us that first morning I knew instantly I was in the right place. He told us that WDS embraces three important values. They happened to be almost exactly aligned with three of my top values.
Community (I call it connection)
Adventure (I call it freedom)
Service (I call it compassion)
Brene Brown, who has spent years researching how shame and vulnerability relate to our ability to experience joy, took the stage as the first speaker. She wanted to know what is so cool about being cool?
All it means is that we are not open to emotional connection. Sure we're safe that way. But at what cost?
"The only true currency is in being uncool," she told us. "Go forth and be uncool."
What a relief for me – a person who has never had a problem being supremely uncool!
Brene's work is all about vulnerability – and how it relates to our ability to experience wholehearted joy and love. Check out her Ted Talk – it's amazing!
My eyes had welled with tears more than a few times while Brene spoke, but it was the next speaker that got me digging in my purse for the tissues. Hell, I'm surprised Chris didn't hand out hankies at the beginning of the talk – there weren't many dry eyes in the place after Scott Harrison finished his presentation about the innovative nonprofit he's founded called Charity: Water.
Scott described a decade of excess as a young adult managing alcohol sales for exclusive night clubs, he spent thousands of dollars on drugs, booze and gambling and settled into a moneyed but spiritually bereft existence.
Scott Harris describes Charity: Water
At around age 28 he left this all behind to volunteer with Mercy Ships, where doctors give free medical care for poor Africans, including surgeries for people with hideous disfiguring conditions. Facial tumors and growths the likes of which most of us have never seen and can barely imagine.
After two years of this, Scott realized the root cause of many of these diseases was lack of potable drinking water. People were drinking from brackish ponds and puddles, and many of them spent hours or even entire days hauling water from source to home. Wells and water purification systems were virtually non-existent in these regions.
Galvanized by the injustice, seeing a need that with a relatively simple solution, Scott set about establishing Charity: Water – even though he didn't have the first idea about how a charity was run. What he did have was connections with individuals with access to money – even though most of these individuals rarely gave second thought to giving any of it away.
Scott's story, and his moving slides, touched almost everyone in the audience deeply. By the end we were all standing up and volunteering to 'give up our birthday' for Charity: Water. This is an creative fundraising campaign where people can solicit donations for their birthday, rather than receiving gifts or throwing a party.
(You'll be hearing more about this come September!)
This presentation gave me a new way to look at an old issue that has torn at my heart for years.
I'd developed a belief system that activism, charity, social justice – and the whole nonprofit organization sector – could only be a labor of love, was rife with organizational strife and basically a super difficult path because of the challenges of raising money.
I learned there can be a new model for doing good in the world – and it doesn't have to involve scarcity consciousness or accepting that burnout is just a way of life.
On Sunday Chris Brogan talked about fear. He told us that the opposite of fear is not courage or bravery. It is surrender.
Chris gave me one of my most important takeaways from this whole conference:
When someone tells you "I'm disappointed in you" what they are really saying is: "You didn't act on the script I had written for you."
Wow. All I can say is that's a HUGE change in the way I've viewed the world and my relationships up till now. I somehow never got that memo and I've spent way too much time trying not to disappoint others and leaving my own self high and dry.
Wish I'd gotten this particular message a little earlier in life – but hey, midlife is a great time to stop worrying about disappointing others and start focusing on not disappointing your own self!
Later we were treated to some beautiful travel slides and more inspiration to take action on our dreams from David and Audrey of uncorneredmarket.com.
The couple is now into year six of a round-the-world trip they thought would last a year or so. Along the way, through connecting with human beings, they've learned and grown and found countless opportunities to give back.
Their big motto? "Embrace regret avoidance."
J.D. Roth gave us a similar message in the closing presentation. As founder and editor of the popular site Get Rich Slowly, and a co-producer of the WDS event, I expected J.D. to be an accomplished speaker. The fact that he was new to this – and nervous – yet there he was up on stage giving all he had was actually one of the most inspiring moments of the Summit for me.
It brought home the overarching message of the whole event:
We are all capable of so much more that we've given ourselves credit for. We each have something truly valuable and important to give to the world – and the only way the world can receive that gift is if we are willing to take the chance, step up, and give it.
J.D. reminded us that thinking, talking and listening about change is NOT change. All that matters is taking action. You have to do the work!
Change Yourself. Change The World.
And then to close the Summit, Chris Guillebeau blew everyone's mind by putting some cold hard cash behind all that inspiration.
We'd been promised a closing surprise, but all 1,000 attendees' jaws dropped in astonishment when he announced that against the advice of financial experts he'd made the decision to gift each and every one of us with a hundred dollar bill.
Despite operating the event at a loss the previous year, a generous anonymous donation and a small profit showing for this year allowed Chris to make this unprecedented gift.
But of course it wasn't just a gift, or a refund of part of our payment, or anything like that. The $100 was a charge to all of us, a trust, an entreaty, a challenge. It said,
"Take all the knowledge and inspiration you've gained this weekend and turn it into something great."
Of course Chris recently published The $100 Startup – a book that documents dozens of folks who have created profitable businesses with very little start-up money. Along with case studies the book gives concrete tips on how any of us can do the same.
Chris Guillebeau gives away $100,000
That closing gift was a powerful testimonial that this man believes what he preaches. Talk about walking the talk.
I've got my "Ben Franklin" safely tucked away awaiting my revelation of the greatness it's intended to create. Along with 999 others I've been doing some soul searching, delving into ideas on how I can take $100 and make a mark in the world.
I welcome suggestions (serious only please!)
So, what are your thoughts on all this? Are you as tired of thinking and talking about making change as I am? What's YOUR next big action?

Stonehenge mini model reveals sound of monument
July 11, 2019 Comments Off on Stonehenge mini model reveals sound of monument
Prof Trevor Cox said the model gave an insight "into what our ancestors would have heard"
A scale model of Stonehenge has been built to try and find out what early visitors to the monument would have heard more than 4,000 years ago.
University of Salford academics recreated the ancient circle to find out how sound would have carried across all the original 157 stones in 2,200BC.
The to-scale 1/12th model was made using 3D printing and custom modelling.
Prof Trevor Cox said the model gave an insight "into what our ancestors would have heard in the stone circles".
"Now we know the voice would have been enhanced by being in that space," he added.
Academics worked with English Heritage using laser scans of the stones and architectural research to create the shape and position of the stones in an acoustic chamber.
Prof Trevor Cox said the acoustics were more like an enclosed room than an outdoor space
Prof Cox, who is leading the project, said: "Surprisingly, considering the henge has no roof and there are lots of spaces between the stones, the acoustics are more like an enclosed room rather than an outdoor space."
In 2012, a team of academics carried out acoustic experiments using a full-sized concrete reconstruction of the monument in Maryhill in the United States.
Prof Cox said after comparing the results, scientists were getting "similar answers except at bass frequencies".
"We don't know exactly how Stonehenge was used but whatever happened around or inside it would have involved sound and so understanding the acoustics is a vital part of understanding Stonehenge," he said.

Q: Polynomial: $p(x) = p(x+3)$. Determine polynomial $p(x)$ s.t. $p(x) = p(x+3)$.

Just by looking at the above equation, it immediately appears that p has got to be some kind of constant function. I thought it might also be a periodic function but, correct me as I am wrong, polynomials are not generally periodic functions and a constant function is the closest we get to a sort of periodic function (without the period).
My problem now is figuring out how to show this. Someone hinted that I might be able to do so by considering the polynomial
$$q(x) = p (x) - p(x+3)$$
This expands out to something like
$$q (x) = a_n(x^n - (x+3)^n) + a_{n-1}(x^{n-1}-(x+3)^{n-1})...+ 3 a_1$$
Anyway, thoughts on where to go from here are appreciated.

A: An addendum to the other answers. You did not specify a field. In positive characteristic $p \ne 3$ there are non-constant polynomials with this property,  for instance
$$
x (x+3) (x+3 \cdot 2) \dots (x + 3 (p-1)).
$$
In characteristic $3$ the  condition of course holds for all polynomials.

A: All of the above answers are algebraic. Let's get some calculus argument:
Every non-constant polynomial has $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} p(x)=\pm\infty$. But for a polynomial with $p(x)=p(x+3)$, you can take the sequence $x_n=x_0+3\cdot n$, which clearly advances to $\infty$ and yields $p(x_n)=p(x_{n-1}+3)=p(x_{n-1})=\ldots=p(x_0)$, which is a constant sequence. So for this polynomial $p(x)$ $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} p(x)=\pm\infty$ is clearly wrong and the polynomial has to be constant.

A: Hint $\ $ $\rm\:p(x)\:$ is constant $\rm = p(0)\:$ since $\rm\:p(x)-p(0)\:$ has infinitely many roots $\rm\:x = 0,3,6,9\ldots$ hence is the zero polynomial.
Remark $\ $ I presume that your polynomial has coefficients over some field such as $\rm\:\Bbb Q, \Bbb R, \Bbb C,\:$ where the subset $\rm\{0,3,6,\ldots\}$ is infinite. It may fail otherwise, e.g. $\rm\:p(x\!+\!3) = p(x)\:$ for all polynomials over $\rm\,\Bbb Z/3 =$ integers mod $3.$
Generally, that a polynomial with more roots than its degree must be the zero polynomial, is equivalent to: $ $ the coefficient ring $\rm\,R\,$ is an integral domain, i.e. for all $\rm\:\forall a,b\in R\!:\:$ $\rm\: ab=0\:\Rightarrow\:a=0\ \ or\ \ b=0.$

A: Math Gems answer is what you're looking for. However, I just wanted to add something interesting. I'm assuming the $x$ in your question is a real number, integer, etc. However, if you allow $x$ to be an element of a finite field, then it doesn't follow that "periodic" polynomials must be zero. For example consider, $p(x)=x^{p}-x \in \Bbb F_{p}[x]$, then:
$p(x+3)=(x+3)^{p}-(x+3)=x^{p}+3^{p}-x-3=x^{p}+3-x-3=x^{p}-x=p(x)$.
The important facts here are in a field of characteristic $p$, $(x+y)^{p}=x^{p}+y^{p}$ and $a^{p}=a$. Also, the $3$ wasn't particularly important here, and could be replaced with any integer.

All natural, plant based ingredients, with NO NASTIES!
These wipes use much thicker material than most, which is cross woven (to prevent tearing) and embossed with tiny bumps, making it much easier to wipe and requiring a lot less wipes to do the same job. The wet ingredients are all naturally derived and hypo-allergenic, perfect for all skin types. They use aloe vera, cucumber and chamomile extracts to soothe and use cutting edge natural preservatives rather than the synthetic chemicals most other wipe brands use.


Back in 2008 Vermont Performance Lab partnered with the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, Rockingham Arts and Museum Project and the Brattleboro Music Center to support produce a new site-specific work by the group So Percussion in Brattleboro and Bellows Falls, Vermont. The residency took place over the spring and summer of 2008 and culminated in two evenings of live performance on the train and in the train depots in Music for Trains on August 8 & 9, 2008. It was a unique partnership that crossed town lines to combine resources, support artists, reach new audiences and serve various communities.
Vermont Performance Lab was pleased to invite the So guys back to Vermont to support the development of where (we) live in May 2012. The two-week residency enabled the quartet to work in the recording studio of Guilford Sound and to work with collaborators and local artists. So asked local artists to improvise, dance, make video and anything else they could think of to both fit into So's artistic world and adjust to fit theirs. VPL presented three work-in-progress showings that featured a different local guest artist each night. Audiences had the opportunity to preview the work before it toured to the Walker Arts Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival in the fall 2012.
View So Percussion's 2008 Music for Trains residency and 2015 A Gun Show residency.
A year and a half ago, I posted a blog entry about our project Where (we) Live. At that time, it was in its earliest gestation. We knew very little about what we wanted to achieve, except that we were going to challenge ourselves to reach outside a collective comfort zone.
So Percussion was founded in the midst of a rigorous chamber music program at Yale. In order to focus on the skill of playing other people's music at a very high level -which is difficult enough to master on its own - we were laser-focused on what it takes to become an accomplished, cohesive group. We've never abandoned this core purpose, and those "10,000 hours" come in handy while making music.
The impulse to break away from the familiar and engage with other artists is inspired in part by two of our creative heroes: John Cage and Steve Reich. These famous composers are pillars of the American experimental tradition, but they achieved that status partially by having a social component to their work. Each of them did two things that we admire and emulate: start groups to play their music, and cast a wide net in their artistic community. Both worked with dancers, painters, sculptors, filmmakers, writers, etc.
Although our group was not originally founded to play our music, it has since become such an outlet, starting with Jason's amid the noise project. We arrived at the same place as Cage and Reich, but slightly backwards.
We began to feel that our net could be cast much wider. Of course, there's always an organic element to expanding your community: chance or arranged meetings lead to new projects, membership in a larger community sparks a common interest, etc. We thought it would be interesting to formalize this process a bit, by explicitly inviting people to contribute something unique and personal to our creative process.
Where (we) Live is that formalized process. We have invited a small group of core collaborators (music, video, performance art), and a larger group of short-term collaborators to work with us on a new show.
The challenges are kind of obvious: how to bring so many voices into a room without creating an incoherent mess? I can't say for sure whether we have solved the problem yet, but one thing was absolutely crucial in tackling it: a development process, where we can try our ideas out in front of audiences.
For the performing arts, this is important, but scary. No matter how many times you try something in your studio, there is no way to tell whether it is working until people see it. Perhaps one of the appealing things about classical music is that the music itself has long since been "workshopped" - over countless performances and critical evaluations - and "all" we have to do (ha ha) is play it well. Of course, that task itself requires a lifetime of dedication and problem solving, especially as the performance level expected of the same music goes up over successive generations.
Vermont Performance Lab enters the picture just at the moment an artist needs it the most: when ideas have formed into material, but time, resources, and an engaged community are needed to pull it across the finish line.
So Percussion first worked with VPL in the summer of 2008, on the Music for Trains project: a gloriously sprawling journey of site-specific performances around the train stations of southern Vermont. It was a pivotal moment in our development as a creative group: far more ambitious and daring than anything we might have come up with on our own, with a force of vision and organization behind it (Sara Coffey).
That experience put us on a new path, which eventually lead to our first show at BAM, Imaginary City.
So VPL seemed to be the perfect place for another ambitious, untested idea. Sara helped us craft a ten day residency which we're currently in the midst of. First, 3 days at Guilford Sound's recording studio to assemble the core of the music, then a week of workshopping the live show. For each show, a different artist from Southern Vermont would be curated by Sara to appear as our "special guest," the final piece of the puzzle that will change at each venue.
Our time in the recording studio was incredible. The new studio at Guilford Sound is simply one of the best recording studios we've ever been in.
We've now completed two of three works-in-progress shows. Monday night we performed with Michelle Holzapfel, a wood artist and master seamstress. She brought her sewing machine, which we amplified and lit. Tuesday night the poet Verandah Porche joined us. On friday the potter Steve Proctor will be our guest.
The process of recording and performing the show has lead to surprising results, but possibly not even in the way we imagined. What started out as possibly the most experimental project we've ever embarked upon has slowly and surely become one of the most personal. The formalized process that I mentioned above gradually gave way to the real relationships of the collaboration. As we began to show it to people, they would tell us what it meant to them, and one theme kept coming up over and over again: home.
Below is our latest description of the project, the most up to date thinking about what we think this show means. Enjoy!
Many thanks to Ain Gordon (director of the project), for this description.
For eight years, So Percussion has made our home in Brooklyn amid two million five hundred thousand others. In our city, each of the group's four members has constructed a personal ecosystem we call home. These homes are bound by space, time, sound and image. Equally, these spaces house rewarding, frustrating, supporting, damaging, tangible and never understood relationships.
When we leave those homes, our four members unite to create another artistic home, with its own unspoken rules and expectations; its own rhythm of interaction, its own banalities and mystery.
Where (we) Live questions all these homes by purposefully inviting the unknown to "come on over." We've asked video artists, songwriters, painters, choreographers, directors and others to substantively alter our process. The resulting performance contains a society of possibilities: composed pieces, chance elements, visual associations, and theatrical interactions.
Grey McMurray is a songwriter/guitarist. He has written a series of songs about our homes. So has worked extensively with Grey to on these compositions which will be featured on an upcoming Cantaloupe Music release. He will be performing with us onstage at each show.
Martin Schmidt is a video artist. His videos heighten our focus on ordinary elements, bringing us into different homes framing the un-noticed. These videos are projected throughout on rough found surfaces, scaled to a modest life size.
Emily Johnson is a choreographer. She will dictate secret instructions to the performers via an onstage assistant. These instructions will differ at every performance generated in response to the moment with the power to alter.
Ain Gordon is a writer/director. He functions as a dramaturg and director, a fifth voice in Sō Percussion's decision-making process, threading the project's purposefully diverse elements and desired resulting chaos into a portrait of something that cannot actually be "seen," home.
A guest artist in each town will collaborate with us in a short residency. We are looking for people who are good at what they do -be it a musician, writer, visual artist, or some other kind of performer - discovered with the help of the presenter in each location. We welcome the unusual dialogue of the unexpected in these more immediate interactions, giving ourselves only one day in person to rehearse with and get to know this individual. Our hope is to harness the power of new friendships and impending performance to spawn a different type of creativity.

Barcelona Have Identified Crystal Palace Forward To Replace Their Winger: Decent Fit For Xavi?
By Ankit Seth
Ankit Seth
Ankit is a 24-year-old, aspiring to have his voice heard through what he writes. Charismatic and frankly moral, adhering to his principles and beliefs. Out to search for a purpose in life and yet to settle on that matter.
In a recent report from Daily Mail, it was stated that Barcelona are lining up a move for Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace as a replacement for Ferran Torres who has been out of favor at Camp Nou. It is understood that the Catalan club could make a move for Zaha if they successfully sell Torres this January which comes as a shock as the winger enters the final months of his contract at Selhurst Park.
Zaha's Impressive Run Of Form For Crystal Palace This Season
Zaha has had a brilliant start to this season as he has produced some impressive displays down the left flank of the attacking third. He has managed to find the back of the net on six occasions and created two assists over fifteen appearances in the Premier League this season.
The Ivory Coast international has been consistent and reliable in the final third after averaging 1.7 tackles, 2.4 shots, 1.1 key passes and 1.7 dribbles per game in the English first division. He has also been tidy with his ball distribution after completing 83.1 % of his attempted passes in the English top flight (stats via whoscored).
Is He A Decent Fit For Xavi At The Nou Camp?
Zaha is a really hard worker on and off the pitch, he has the ability to track back on defence and doesn't mind putting his foot into a tackle despite being a winger. Furthermore, he can make some dangerous runs down the left flank being a menace for his markers out in the wide areas. He remains an attacking threat inside the penalty box as he can find the back of the net with ease, remaining calm and composed when isolated against the opponent's shot-stopper.
At 30, he still has a few years left in him to play at a high level and could certainly bring more firepower into Barcelona's attacking department. So Xavi has been wise to identify him as a possible replacement for Ferran Torres. With his contract set to expire at the end of this season, it should not be difficult for the Spanish outfit to get him aboard if they offer the right price.
However, Zaha will have significantly less playtime at Camp Nou compared to his current club as the competition remains high within the Spanish giants since Xavi has several attackers at his disposal. So he will have to keep performing in order to be in favour of the Spanish tactician or else we could only expect him to provide support from the bench over the coming years.

We are back again with Eric Markvicka to talk about how easy it is to form a stretchable electrical circuit with liquid metal-embedded material and some simple tools.
Jim: Eric, at first blush your work with self-healing electronics seems more like magic than science. From what I gather, you use a plotter to rupture the liquid metal cell walls and interconnect them within the elastomer, could you explain the principle around how this works?
Eric: Yeah, it's definitely mysterious and quite different from what has been previously shown in literature. The secret behind our "magic trick" is the unique material architecture. Interestingly, when pressed with sufficient local pressure, the embedded microscopic droplets rupture, transforming the rubber from an insulator to an electrical conductor. Upon further investigation, we found that this instantaneous transformation also occurred during other forms of material damage including cutting, tearing, and puncture.
Jim: Can this be done by hand?
Eric: Yes, circuits can be created by applying sufficient local pressure. This can be accomplished by a variety of methods such as drawing on the material with a ball point pen or a cotton tipped applicator. We use the commercially available XY pen plotter for consistency during characterization and to enable complex geometric patterns to be created.
Now that we have learned a little about the material and how it works, tomorrow we will talk about what applications we could use this technology for.

Thank you for contacting me recently about Universal Credit (UC).
As I'm sure you're aware, I'm as concerned about the roll-out and its consequences as you are and I have been raising those concerns in Parliament constantly over the last three years as well as voting against the introduction of a system that will punish those who can't work and those who are on low hours.
The Prime Minister has said that austerity is over but the cuts to Universal Credit will total nearly £4bn a year by 2020.
UC is a vehicle for cuts and is causing severe hardship for many people as it is rolled out. It was allegedly designed to lift people out of poverty but instead is leaving people in debt, rent arrears or forced to turn to food banks to survive.
Claimants are still experiencing hardship as a result of delays to initial payments and the DWP's own survey of claimants published in June showed that 40% of claimants were still experiencing financial difficulties even nine months in to their claim. Many claimants struggle to make and manage their claim online as they are required to under UC and the funding for support provided by DWP is inadequate.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions is reported to have told Cabinet colleagues that many families could lose as much as £2,400 a year as a result of transferring to claim UC. A wide range of organisations, including Citizens Advice, the Child Poverty Action Group, over 80 disability organisations and two former Prime Ministers have warned that the government's plans risk thousands of people losing support either temporarily or falling out of the system altogether. I spoke in an Urgent Question this week following rumours that the roll out of UC has been delayed again, and asked how this would affect many of my constituents; the response I received from the Minister was extremely disappointing. You can read about my question here.
Despite all the problems with the roll out the government is planning to start a new phase known as "managed migration" with the transfer of almost three million people claiming legacy benefits such as Tax Credits and ESA starting in January.
Yesterday in Parliament I voted to try to force the Government to release all their internal assessments of what the cut to individual's income would amount to. Though Labour MPs didn't win the vote, we will carry on fighting to force the Government to come clean.
Universal Credit is not working in its current form and Labour is absolutely clear, the government must stop the roll of out immediately. On 27th October we'll be holding a rally in town to say just that, if you want to join us, details are here https://www.facebook.com/events/2304871886463560/


SARS Inhibited (2006) is a bronze sculpture that stands in the central plaza of the science city Biopolis, Singapore.
SARS Inhibited (2006) is a bronze sculpture that stands in the central plaza of the science city Biopolis, Singapore. Biopolis conducted an international completion to select a sculptor to create an installation that captures the practical application of their work. After interviewing the Biopolis scientists, Mara proposed the winning design, a sculpture depicting the active site of the SARS protease. She chose the SARS protease because Biopolis scientists are proud of their contributions to developing drug candidates to treat SARS. The drugs were discovered based on the structure of the SARS protease. The sculpture accurately depicts the three dimensional polypeptide backbone of the active site of the SARS protease.
SARS Inhibited is itself a beautiful work of art, adding a flash of color to the plaza. The sculpture sits in a reflecting pool. Between the two open arms is a small bridge paved with stones in the form of the inhibitor. Visitors who tread the path themselves become the cure for SARS.


Today, Astoria is one of NYC's most culturally diverse neighborhoods and home to art institutions, food establishments and an amazing atmosphere. It's no surprise that Astoria is one of the most talked about neighborhoods right now and is currently our most searched for area and for that reason we're creating a guide to help you get started on your Astoria buzz.
First of all, we need to get to Astoria. The kingdom can be reached using the N and W trains that go in the direction of Uptown and Queens so make your way down to your nearest connection.
If you live for life on the sea or consider yourself to be Captain Jack Sparrow then how does a boat sound? NYC Ferry have boats that connect Astoria with Roosevelt Island, Long Island City, Midtown and Lower Manhattan which costs the same as a single subway journey. You can even drink on the ferry, so how does some rum sound? Conquer the seas on your way to the promised land - Astoria!
Astoria has its fair share of micro-neighborhoods such as the Little Egypt of Steinway Street, brimming with hookah bars and halal food carts, but the largest of those micro-neighborhoods is boxed in by Ditmars Blvd, Steinway St., 36th Ave and the East River, and it is the most Greek area you'll find anywhere outside of Greece. Taverns, cafes, bakeries, you name it!
If you're in Astoria for a good time, check out the nightlife and fine cuisine it has to offer around 30th Ave, Broadway and Crescent St. Anywhere near the Museum of the Moving Image will be worth checking out thanks to a noticeable spillover of activity from it's attraction. If you venture toward 45th St. you're much more likely to encounter local community vibes and residential areas. In saying that, everywhere in Astoria feels quaint and homely, whether the streets are lined or not and they all share one big backyard, Astoria Park.
The crown jewel of Astoria is clearly Astoria Park. Perched partially on a gently sloping hill that grants marvelous views up and down the East River. During the colder months you can get your daily exercise in by wrapping up and running your favorite route through the park or have an early morning pick up game on the courts to get yourself in the zone for the day. Come the warmer weather, make the most of the playgrounds, running track, and of course the City's oldest and largest swimming pool.
If you like to mix things up then swing by Athens Square Park which truly epitomizes the Greek heritage prevalent throughout Astoria. Greek sculptures surround an amphitheater where during the summer months you can catch Greek Night on Tuesdays and Italian Night on Wednesdays.
Still art? Pffft that was soooo 1507. Why not spend a Saturday afternoon enlightening yourself to the world of moving image? Astoria boasts the Museum of the Moving Image, an institution dedicated to the understanding and appreciation of the art, history, technique, and technology of film, television, and digital media. Right now the museum features The Jim Henson Exhibition, the creator of The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock. You and your roommates will feel your childhood flooding back as you stroll the halls of this exhibit, Big Bird my homie!
As it goes, brunch is an Astoria institution. You wake up feeling less than great, wincing at the horrors from the night before. Best way to shake that fear? Catch a well-needed fry at Passage Irish Bar & Kitchen. If you feel like you're ready for round 2 then wash it all back with an Irish coffee followed by some of their finest whiskeys.
Or after a long day of exploring awesome Astoria, check out Sanfords for happy hour between 4pm-7pm everyday where you can indulge in some $1 oysters as well as great drink offers! Maybe you're feeling dinner? No need to leave, as Sanfords also serves up a mean dish!
If you're looking for the authentic greek cuisine of Astoria you can check out some neighborhood favorites such as Ovelia that offers great food if you're around during late morning or early afternoon and Taverna Kyclades which is renowned for its excellent spread of seafood. Be prepared to wait as the Greek food in Astoria is always in demand. However, we can assure you that you'll forget all about those waiting time woes when you tuck in!
Looking for a bar to have that cute date? Maybe a place where you can spend after a long day of trekking Astoria park? No matter what it is you're looking for, The Bonnie has got it! Its interiors alone set a delightful ambiance, and when mixed with the characters who frequent the bar, it's a recipe for fun! You're guaranteed exemplary service and a great time! Tip: Get down on Friday nights with their live DJ set to start your weekend vibes!
Next up we have The Ditty Bar, a super cool spot for catching some cocktails or kicking back with a beer whilst watching one of the many movie classics they show every Tuesday at 8:30 in their backyard. Get peckish during it? Why not order some grub from their kitchen that serves food right up until 4am every night! And if movies aren't your thing, be entertained by the stock of board games they have on offer - every corner covered.
Last but not least, Bohemian Hall. Famed for being the oldest beer garden in NYC, this is just what you need when you're planning on getting wild with some platters of sausages and an eclectic lineup of beer. Perfect for big group gatherings and with any beer garden, prime time is summer to soak up the sun with a beer in hand. Prost!
New York and fashion often go hand in hand. And even though Astoria isn't exactly known for its collection of clothing boutiques, it still boasts a nice array of choice. The Brass Owl is just one example, with their store dealing predominantly in shoes and accessories where you can pick up some cool pieces from both past and present. Keep an eye out on their website for monthly events!
Another store of note is Lockwood Shop where you're bound to find a piece or two that catches your eye. As you ramble through the quaint space everything from the chic homewares to the most on point accessories and clothing come alive. The store has a homely feel which is pleasantly conveyed by their staff.
Finally, The Stonework, just a few blocks from Ditmars Blvd Station is a store we really dig that allows you to custom order or customize some of your classic staples so if you fall in love while exploring the places we recommended then go represent Astoria in the coolest way possible by rocking some one of a kind Astoria merch.
If you're an Astorian and proud, let us know some of your favorite things to do in the area!

We booked first class passage (called "AAA" cabins) in September, 2007 for the earliest available departure which turned out to be on December 3, 2007. Each ticket cost US$782 and the car cost US$400. That's US$521.33 per day for the 2 of us for a minuscule cabin (with private bath) and 3 meals, with wine, a day. Our advice for anyone making the trip between Puerto Montt and Puerto Natales without a car is to fly. The ferry, even with the stop to see the Glacier Pio XI, is not worth the price.
Due to bad weather on the voyage north, our ferry was a day late in leaving. There was confusion and mis-information on the day we were supposed to leave. We finally figured out what was going on and what we had to do. One of the staff made us a hotel reservation. We were supposed to board the following morning at 7 a.m. and the ferry was to leave the next morning at 8 a.m.
We left our luggage to be brought to the cabin, which was, in fact, done for us. After we had lunch in Puerto Montt (at a very good restaurant called Kiel, Camino Chinquihue km 8, Puerto Montt, fono (56 65)255-010), we brought the car back to the port so that it could be loaded on the ferry once the ferry had arrived.
We had a nice walk back to our hotel (Hotel Gran Pacifico, Urmeneta 719 (at Balmacela), Puerto Montt, fono: (56 65)482-100, e-mail: reserva@hotelgranpacifico.cl and ventas@hotelgranpacifco.cl, web:www.hotelgranpacifico.cl). The Gran Pacifico gave us a special "returning rate" for the suite we had for a week in September. We took a taxi back to the ferry the next morning.
Boarding at 7:00 a.m. the following morning was okay. Andrea and her assistant, Lena, were the representatives of Navimag in charge of the passengers. We checked that our car (with the 2 bikes on top) was on the ferry and got our car key back from the man who loaded it.
When we saw our cabin, we were shocked. It was extremely small and had 2 bunk beds, a sofa-like thing and a desk, as well as a bathroom. Lena took the first class passengers on a tour of the ferry.
There is a first class dining room, a large dining room for everyone else and a bar area for everyone. The decks are large but the wind was ferocious, making staying outside for any length of time unpleasant.
The staff, Andrea and Lena, gave a briefing. Andrea is sophomorically enthusiastic and annoying. Her English is terrible. After the safety briefing and one or two others, we stopped going to hear her speak. Lena's language skills were better but, because she was the junior, she wasn't allowed to do the briefings.
The first day was a beautiful day and we looked at the rolling green hills that we were passing in the Reloncaví Bay. The hills were covered with green, low trees. We got to see Chiloe Island from a distance later in the day.
Lunch was the main meal on the ferry and it was served by a waitress. There were 4 courses and wine. Invariably the first group to eat stayed longer than their allotted time and the second group was made to wait in the hall outside. We asked the staff if we could use the empty officer tables and we were told "no", they had to remain vacant in case an officer came to eat (their schedules made their eating times unpredictable). All we wanted to do was share the officers tables, not take over them. Dinner was less elaborate. The food was adequate, sometimes good.
We had a nice time with the other passengers. A very interesting group. After dinner we wanted to continue to socialize and we asked the staff if we could sit in the first class dining room. We were told we had to leave so that the area could be cleaned and prepared for the next morning.
Our alternatives were the bar (where there typically were no seats available), the main dining room (we think, if they didn't have to clean it too) and our cabin.
Six of us crowded (like sardines) into our cabin where we watched TV programs that we had previously recorded on our new laptop (that has a TV tuner in it). They were comedies and we all had a good time. Two people sat on the sofa, 2 on the lower bunk and two on chairs. The computer was on the desk. Because the cabin is so small, all of us could see the screen. Who needs the space of a mansion when you are with fun people?
In the luggage we brought to the room was our electric hot water maker and a French press coffee maker. We had a can of decaffeinated coffee with us and made coffee for the group. One of the couples brought a bottle of wine.
Evidently there had previously been a lounge for first class passengers on the ferry but it had been converted to a gym for the crew (which the first class passengers were not permitted to use). So at over US$500 a day, we made do.
The second day was foggy and rainy so it wasn't possible to see much of the passing scenery. Then came the portion outside in the Pacific Ocean and it was rough. Most people stayed in their cabins.
It was good that in our luggage we brought to the cabin was our breakfast cereals, our espresso coffee, our strawberries and our oranges. We could have the breakfast we like. The ferry had corn flakes (too soggy) and instant coffee. It did provide fresh banana and kiwi in the morning. It's too bad we didn't bring some skim milk too; all the ferry had was whole milk. Being able to have a cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning starts the day off right for us.
The rough Pacific Ocean section of the voyage only lasted 12 hours. By dinner, everyone was feeling good again. So we had another evening of watching TV on our laptop computer in our cabin with our fellow passengers. We didn't ever go to the movies that the Navimag showed in the main dining room. The chairs are too uncomfortable for extended sitting.
Of course the highlight of the voyage was the passage up to see the Glacier Pio XI and, forturnately, the weather cooperated. Pío XI Glacier is the biggest and longest glacier in the southern hemisphere, not including Antarctica, and covers 1,265 square kilometres. It is also known as the Brüggen Glacier. It's located in the Seno or Fiordo Eyre. We have seen many glaciers before (and even skiied on the Vallée Blanche at Chamonix). The texture and the massive wall of the glacier, descending into the water was truly spectacular.
After the glacier detour, we continued directly into Puerto Natales without incident. The crew brought our luggage to the car and disembarking was easy.
This is awesome. I believe puerto montt to be one of the greatest places I have ever traveled to.


Joy Cone Co., one of the world's largest ice cream cone makers, is expanding its operations in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. The company will add 50 jobs at its facility and invest $21 million to expand its factory by 190,000 square feet.
Joy Cone has been making ice cream cones for 85 years. It produces more than 1.5 billion cones annually at its Pennsylvania and Arizona factories.
The Penn Northwest Development Corp. worked with Joy Cone and the Governor's Action Team to secure $2.1 million from the Department of Community and Economic Development for the project. That includes a $2 million loan from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority, $21,150 in job training assistance, and $47,000 in job creation tax credits.


Fifteen people aged between 15 and 24 were told they had chlamydia or gonorrhoea every hour in England from 2016-to-2017. Untreated, these can cause everything from infertility and arthritis.
This study aims to address whether specific miRNAs in CD14+ monocytes and osteoclasts derived from them cause active osteoclastogenesis in PsA. The RNA from circulatory CD14+ monocytes was isolated from PsA patients, psoriatic patients without arthritis, and normal controls (NCs).
We recently demonstrated that persistent release of IL-1ab from inflammatory skin causes weight loss, vascular sclerotic changes, and severe systemic amyloidosis in multiple organs. We addressed this question by using skin inflammatory mouse model, keratin-14 driven caspase-1 transgenic mice (KCASP1Tg). In inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, secondary intestinal amyloidosis occurs which causes malabsorption and bowel movement obstruction. Also in KCASP1Tg mice, long-lasting expression of IL-1 β causes gastrointestinal amyloidosis.
Introduction: As diet modulates inflammation and may impact inflammatory skin disease, our objectives were to assess the relationships between pro-inflammatory dietary patterns and incident psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods and Results: We conducted cohort studies among women in the Nurses ' Health Study II. The empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) score was calculated at baseline and every four years; incident psoriasis, PsA, and AD were assessed by validated self-report.
The gut microbiome plays a critical role in immune development and can impact inflammation in distant organs in rheumatoid arthritis, uveitis and alopecia areata. The potential contributions of the microbiota to psoriasis remains unclear. To test the hypothesis that the microbiota contributes to psoriasiform skin inflammation, we treated KC-Tie2, IL-17C+ and KLK6+ psoriasiform mouse models with a broad-spectrum antibiotic cocktail (ampicillin, neomycin, vancomycin). 5-week old psoriasis mice (n=6-14/grp) were exposed to either regular drinking water or the antibiotic cocktail for ∼ 6 weeks, and then the skin examined.
We previously reported that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) increase the percentage of human Th17 cells in 7-day PBMC cultures, dependent upon CD3/CD28 stimulation and the presence of monocytes. Here we further characterize this response and its dependence upon the D10N variant of Act1 encoded by TRAF3IP2, which is genetically implicated in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. We fractionated PBMC into monocyte- and T-cell-enriched populations, then recombined them with or without separation by a Transwell filter.
