Team SRC Kawasaki France took over the lead in the late afternoon. Four hours into the race, they are lapping ahead of Suzuki Endurance Racing Team and Team ERC-BMW Motorrad Endurance.
The race started off at a scorching pace and was dominated for the first three hours by Honda Endurance Racing ahead of Team SRC Kawasaki France. Randy de Puniet in the saddle of the Honda Endurance Racing and Jérémy Guarnoni for Team SRC Kawasaki France put on a magnificent show, launching into an epic duel to seize control. Honda Endurance Racing ended up taking the lead, but faulty lights on the Honda 111 forced them into the pits around 6pm, causing Honda Endurance Racing to drop back to beyond 10th place. By 7pm however the 111 had already climbed back up to 5th place, only one lap behind the leader, and Randy de Puniet has posted a new fastest race lap, a 1:36.848.
Team SRC Kawasaki France are in the lead 4 hours into the race, ahead of Suzuki Endurance Racing Team and Team ERC-BMW Motorrad Endurance. Yamaha-mounted Wepol Racing, who got off to a good start from 8th on the starting grid, are lapping in 4th place in front of Honda Endurance Racing. YART Yamaha has now lost ground after Niccolò Canepa ran wide.
In Superstock, GERT56 by GS Yuasa were looking totally in control for the first three hours, but ran out of fuel and lost the lead. As of 7pm, Team 33 Coyote Louit Moto were the leading Superstock ahead of Junior Team Le Mans Sud Suzuki, GERT56 by GS Yuasa, RAC 41 and Motors Events.
This year’s 24 Heures Motos got off to a particularly hectic start with two crashes and the safety cars coming out in the very first minute of the race.
Two of the high-profile favourites had a problematic start to the race. After two crashes, Yamaha-mounted VRD Igol Pierret Expériences, who were 4th at the start, nosedived to the bottom of the rankings. F.C.C. TSR Honda France met the same fate, losing out on their 3rd place when Mike Di Meglio crashed during the first handover.abstract
- Despite the importance of fertility in humans and livestock, there has been little success dissecting the genetic basis of fertility. Our hypothesis was that genes differentially expressed in the endometrium and corpus luteum on Day 13 of the estrous cycle between cows with either good or poor genetic merit for fertility would be enriched for genetic variants associated with fertility. We combined a unique genetic model of fertility (cattle that have been selected for high and low fertility and show substantial difference in fertility) with gene expression data from these cattle and genome-wide association study (GWAS) results in ∼20,000 cattle to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions and sequence variants associated with genetic variation in fertility. Two hundred and forty-five QTL regions and 17 sequence variants associated primarily with prostaglandin F2alpha, steroidogenesis, mRNA processing, energy status, and immune-related processes were identified. Ninety-three of the QTL regions were validated by two independent GWAS, with signals for fertility detected primarily on chromosomes 18, 5, 7, 8, and 29. Plausible causative mutations were identified, including one missense variant significantly associated with fertility and predicted to affect the protein function of EIF4EBP3. The results of this study enhance our understanding of 1) the contribution of the endometrium and corpus luteum transcriptome to phenotypic fertility differences and 2) the genetic architecture of fertility in dairy cattle. Including these variants in predictions of genomic breeding values may improve the rate of genetic gain for this critical trait.the PAA-AgNPs is of great Farnesyltransferase interest in order to understand the incorporation of the AgNPs into the films. When the pH is 7.0, the PAA presents less carboxylate groups available and as a result, a lower number of AgNPs have been embedded into the films. However, this aspect drastically changes when the pH of the PAA is higher (pH 9.0) where a higher amount of AgNPs have been incorporated into the LbL-E thin films. A better definition of the orange coloration in the films is observed at pH 9.0 because PAA is building as a fully charged polyelectrolyte and a higher number of carboxylate groups are binding with the cationic polyelectrolyte (PAH) to form ion pairs by electrostatic attraction. Figure 5 UV-vis spectroscopy of the PAA-AgNPs and their incorporation into thin films.There is something magical about visiting the beach during the winter months. Grab yourself a cup of hot cocoa, pack your sand sled, head to the east coast and cruise down highway 12 until you run out of land. Guaranteed you'll find a cool, salty breeze and a secluded beach left for you to explore.
More than ever, families are looking to spend their holidays on the Outer Banks. Take part this winter in beach celebrations, yuletide cheer and unbelievable holiday shopping. The Poulos Family Christmas is a tradition you can’t miss with 12 weeks of setup and $3500 in electricity bills. Old Christmas, OBXmas Weekends, and Winter Lights at Elizabethan Gardens take center stage in exemplifying the past, present and yet to come on this beautiful stretch of eastern beach.
January is a big reservation month for vacation rental homes, which make up about 80% of the lodging on the Outer Banks. Rental homes can see huge discounts and be rented for half the price compared to peak season dates. Experience winter’s first snowfall in an oceanfront home and escape the modern world hustle and bustle. Enjoy crisp, wintry walks on the beach as you relish life at a slower pace. Want a fire without the sand? Many vacation homes offer a fireplace ‘filter’ when selecting your perfect getaway. Fully equipped kitchens in these houses allow ease of preparation for large holiday feasts OR consume hearty meals with fast service at the flurry of restaurants that remain open through the season.
Humans love change and there is no transformation more beautiful than the colors of the Outer Banks in the wintry months. While the reds and yellow remain during sunrises and sunsets, blues and whites blanket the night sky. Unrefined, intensely clear nights create a pristine environment for stargazing. Starry Nights, Romance Under the Stars, and portable planetariums celebrate the dark skies and tapestry of the Milky Way unblemished by big city lights.
Starry treasures by night, and funky beach finds by day. The less crowded beaches and change in prevailing winds increase your chances of finding the perfect seashore treasure. Beach combing is something that pretty much everyone does either by walking and picking up sea glass or sifting through the tidal remnants to see what shells washed up the night before. The one thing about sea glass on the Outer Banks that makes it special, is that there were no factories here. All our glass comes from another part of the world. Whether it’s red, blue, green or yellow, producing a particular color originates from a specific part of the world.
Awaken the sleeping stories hibernating in the Outer Banks at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum. The Graveyard of the Atlantic is a region just offshore where some 3,000 shipwrecks decorate the depths from Kitty Hawk south to Ocracoke. This region of the North Carolina coast once claimed many ships and their crews, due to the treacherous shoals and underwater sandbars that are said to have never sat still for any map. Today, you can view some of these wrecks from shore or in this area fit for scuba diving. The span of crafts ranges from the first colonial ships of the 1500’s, to the Civil War and both World Wars, including the most German U-boats sunk off any state coast in America.

Six Have Been Arrested In Connection To The HQ Trivia Founder's Fatal Drug Overdose
The drug business allegedly let customers order heroin and cocaine on the phone "with the same convenience as if they were ordering a pizza."
Kroll in 2014.
Six people were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of being involved with the New York City drug delivery service that sold the narcotics that caused Vine and HQ Trivia cofounder Colin Kroll's overdose death.
In an indictment filed by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the alleged drug dealers of the "Mike's Candyshop" delivery service were charged with conspiring to distribute heroin and cocaine.
On Dec. 16, 2018, Kroll was found dead of an overdose in his Manhattan apartment. He was 34.
The indictment does not name Kroll — identifying only a "Victim-1" — but says the man's body was found on Dec. 16 surrounded by drug
