It's been a tumultuous two years since Egypt became a democracy, and tens of thousands of citizens are recognizing its anniversary by gathering to protest against President Mohamed Morsi.
"I came here to join the young protesters for freedom, bread and social justice," Egyptian sociologist Saad El-Din Ibrahim told Al Ahram in Tahrir Square. "I think the message must be sent to the regime, otherwise it will be too late."
Ahram Online reports that at least 120 people have been injured nationwide in clashes of groups — opponents of Morsi, his supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood, police, and others — involving glass, bricks, blades, birdshot and Molotov cocktails. Violent sexual attacks have also occurred.
In Cairo police fired tear gas at protesters at the presidential palace after the masked Black Bloc tried to cross barbed wires placed in front of the palace. Groups of thousands have attacked official buildings across the country, including Muslim Brotherhood Headquarters.
Protests against Morsi have become increasingly violent after the Islamist president issued a constitutional decree in November that ruled none of his decisions could be overturned until a new constitution was drafted and that the Islamist-dominated assembly writing the constitution is exempt from dissolution.
Protesters pulling at the barbed wire in front of the presidential palace.
Critics say the constitution, which was subsequently passed by referendum, does not offer adequate protection for human rights, grants the president too many privileges and fails to curb the power of a military establishment that dominated in the era of Hosni Mubarak.
One protester, a 28-year-old who has been protesting since January 28, 2011, told Al Ahram he will not leave Tahrir Square until "Morsi changes the government and that the constitution is cancelled."
Other demands are more basic than that as the two years have turmoil have crushed the economy, causing the Egyptian pound to sink to record lows against the dollar.
"I am here because of the increasing prices," a 29-year-old told Al Ahram. "I come from the slums and I feel that the Brotherhood only care about the poor when they need votes."

From left to right: Pierre Moscovici, French Minister of Finance, Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the IMF, Wolfgang Schauble, German Federal Minister for Finance, Maria Fekter, Austrian Federal Minister for Finance. Eurogroup of 24/03/2013. (Council of the European Union photographic library).
The three EU independent authorities which supervise the financial sector of the Union, namely the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), collectively known as the three European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), issued yesterday their first joint report ringing the bell of Eurozone fragmentation danger after what happened in Cyprus. Closing their main remarks they stress that, the "Recent events (in Cyprus) manifest the risk of further fragmentation of the single market and underscore the need for closer coordination and integration, including in supervisory colleges, and through full implementation of the banking union".
At this point it must be noted that the fragmentation of Eurozone's financial volume and the return to the pre-euro era, where European national markets maintained only limited relations, seems to be already an irreversible process. Despite the lamentations of the European Central Bank about this, the truth is that Germany and France after some point in time favoured the disruption of the Eurozone financial market. Everything started in 2010-2011 with the eruption of the sovereign credit crisis in three countries Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
All along the past three crisis years the surplus countries like Germany, France, the Netherlands and Austria were terrified with the contagion effect. That is the fear the illness which hit the above three countries and later on Italy and Spain could spread and infest their own markets and thus increase their borrowing cost to unsustainable levels. Until June 2012 this contagion fear was very real. Market analysts and investors were insisting that the problems of south Eurozone could bring down also France and Germany.
Not to forget that the big banks of those two major Eurozone countries had a huge exposure to south Europe. If the ECB had not favoured the German and the French lenders by acquiring the bulk of their toxic Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Irish bonds, today Berlin and Paris could have joined Athens and Madrid in staging everyday street rallies. Gradually however and more so after the ECB undertook the large part of the toxic southern bonds, Germany felt at ease and its financial markets started behaving completely differently than the markets of Italy and Spain.
Actually sometime after the summer of 2012 the borrowing rates for Germany became negative, while Italy and Spain had to pay around 6%-7% for their debt. From that time onwards the fragmentation of Eurozone's financial market was a reality. Germany and France stopped being afraid of any contagion effect from the south Europe disease.
The financial markets and investors learned to distinguish well between south and north. So reassured those two countries felt for not sharing anything anymore with the southerners that decided to completely destroy the Cypriot banking system and impose the confiscation of its unsecured deposits up to the point of complete annihilation.
There is no doubt by now that Eurozone's financial system is again completely fragmented as it was for centuries, until the turn of the millennium. The possibility of becoming again the unified system it was during the brief period of 2002-2008 is a very long-term bet. ECB's monetary policies for cheap money don't cross the Alps southwards and consequently don't reach Athens or Rome let alone Nicosia. The question is though if this was an intended policy or the outcome of an unseen before crisis.
As they say the truth is usually somewhere in between. At the beginning, fragmentation was a natural phenomenon. In 2012 however it became a policy target for Germany and France, while recently the case of Cyprus proved that fragmentation is not only a target but a standard reality to count upon. Germany and France wanted to show everybody that Eurozone is mainly Berlin and Paris. Everybody else is from now on expendable. Even if markets do not believe the whole story, the present degree of fragmentation of Eurozone's financial markets is enough to offer Germany and France very low-interest rates for their borrowing and this is all there is to it.
Berlin and Paris together decided to destroy Cyprus exactly for this reason. They don't want the South to sell the same financial products as the North. Germany and France showed to the rest of the world where the real Eurozone financial products are for sale. The ESAs are quite right in recognising that what happened in Cyprus "manifest the risk of further fragmentation". It is exactly like that.

In September 2011 engineers completed coating of James Webb's 21 mirror segments with microscopic layers of gold.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee approved a spending bill Sept. 15 that would cut NASA's budget by 2.5 percent while boosting spending on the massively overbudget James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and tying the release of hard-fought commercial crew money to the start of work on a congressionally mandated heavy-lift rocket.
Overall NASA's budget would drop to $17.9 billion — a $510 million reduction — if the Senate version of the 2012 Commerce Justice Science Appropriations bill becomes law.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, the Maryland Democrat who chairs the Senate Appropriations commerce, justice, science committee, said she and her Republican counterpart, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas), faced tough choices in drafting the NASA spending bill.
"We've gone beyond frugality. We are now into austerity," Mikulski said in presenting her bill to the full committee. "This means NASA will once again be asked to do more with less."
NASA's other science programs were largely spared in the Senate's hunt for more money for JWST, which stands to get $530 million next year, or about 40 percent more than NASA budgeted. But the agency's nascent Space Technology program was not so lucky, losing nearly $400 million from its $1 billion request.
NASA's human space exploration budget would remain essentially flat for 2012, with $1.8 billion carved out for the heavy-lift Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and $1.2 billion designated for its companion Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. The bill would cap total spending on SLS and Orion at $17 billion through 2017, the year NASA plans to conduct the launch system's first unmanned test flight.
sets aside $548 million to cover NASA's contractual obligation to make up a shortfall in space shuttle operator United Space Alliance's pension program.
permits the transfer of up to $10 million to the U.S. Department of Energy to re-establish domestic production of a plutonium isotope used in spacecraft power systems.
adds $16 million to NASA's Explorer Program "to ensure that current and future announcements of opportunity can support two stand-alone missions, one in astrophysics and one in heliophysics."
directs the agency to spend $75 million "to continue efforts to use the next generation of human space flight architecture to service existing and future on-orbit observatory-class scientific spacecraft, as well as spacecraft owned by the Department of Defense and other Government agencies."
Neither the House nor Senate have schedule a floor vote on their respective NASA spending bills. With the 2011 fiscal year ending Sept. 30, time is running out to complete work on 2012 spending bills. The House Appropriations Committee on Sept. 14 introduced a stopgap spending measure, called a continuing resolution, that would keep federal agencies operating at roughly their current levels through Nov. 18.

Endo-β-1,3-glucanases (EC 3.2.1.39)

Endo-β-1,3- glucanases (EC 3.2.1.39) são enzimas capazes de hidrolisar ligações glicosídicas presentes em carboidratos e pertencem a família das glicosídeo Hidrolases (EC 3.2.1). Catalisam normalmente a hidrólise de porções internas de ligações glicosídicas βbeta-1,3, em β- 1,3 glucanas que são polímeros de glicose na configuração anomérica &beta onde a ligação entre unidades glicosídicas se dá entre os carbonos 1 e 3. Esses polissacarídeos são abundantes na natureza, ocorrendo em algas, plantas superiores e fungos.Essas enzimas também estão envolvidas em reações de transglicosilação de ligações &beta-glicosídicas em Mizuhopecten yessoensis. Endo-β-1,3 glucanases são amplamente distribuídas, sendo encontrados em bactérias, fungos, plantas e animais, sendo importantes em diversos processos biológicos.

Parâmetros e Características descritas de Endo-β-1,3-glucanases

Denominações

Endo-β 1,3-glucanases hidrolisam β-D-glucanas, com uma especificidade alta e podem também hidrolisar outros substratos. As denominações dessa enzima podem variar de acordo com o substrato clivado, devido a isso, endo-β-1,3-glucanases podem possuir diferentes nomes tais como laminarinase; laminaranase; oligo-1,3-glicosidase; endo-1,3-β-glucanase; callase;β-1,3-glucanase; kitalase; 1,3-β-D-glucan 3-glicanohidrolase; endo-(1,3)-β-D-glucanase; (1→3)-β-glucan 3-glucanohidrolase; endo-1,3-β-D-glucanase; endo-1,3-β-glicosidase e,3-β-D-glucan glicanohidrolase. As variações de clivagem de substratos, tanto sintéticos quanto naturais podem ser uma útil ferramenta para se investigar não somente, o perfil de atividade da enzima, quanto predizer o tamanho do seu sítio catalítico.::

Tipos de Substrato descritos

Alguns substratos naturais comuns a Endo-β-1,3-glucanases são a Liquenana, laminoligossacarídeos, laminaribiose, laminaritriose, laminaritetraose, laminaripentaose, laminarihexaose, laminariheptaose, nitrophenil-beta-D-glucopiranosideo, O-β-D-glucopiranosil-D-glucopiranose, alpha-laminaribiosil fluorideo, β D glucana, calose, levedura, curdlan, carboximetil celulose, laminarina, pachyman, pendulana, entre outras variações que possuem diferentes grupos em ligação β com o D-glucana.

Curvas de velocidade

Para de determinar a velocidade da reação nessas enzimas, utiliza-se um ensaio do tipo descontínuo, observando-se a formação de produto ao longo do tempo. Como protocolo básico experimental, a enzima é incubada com substrato, em temperatura e tampão pré-determinados e que sejam adequados à mistura de reação. Após os intervalos regulares de ensaio, a reação precisa ser paralisada através da desnaturação da enzima, como por exemplo, a exposição da mesma, a altas temperaturas ou pela adição de algum reagente específico. No caso, de endo-β-1,3-glucanases, o produto liberado pela reação enzimática será detectado através da reação com o reagente ácido dinitrossalicílico, este método consiste na redução do ácido 3,5 dinitrossalicílico a ácido 3-amino-5-nitrosalicílico ao mesmo tempo em que o grupo aldeído do açúcar é oxidado a grupo carboxílico, com o desenvolvimento de uma coloração avermelhada, lida em espectrofotômetro a 550nm4. Entretanto a equivalência entre o ácido amino-5-dinitrossalicílico produzido e a quantidade do açúcar não é exata e diferentes açúcares produzem diferentes intensidades na cor desenvolvida. Isso sugere que a química da reação deva ser mais complexa que a apresentada, podendo estar relacionada com as reações de decomposição de açúcares em solução alcalina. As enzimas podem ainda possuir a velocidade estimulada devido à presença de íons metálicos. Muitos íons foram descritos como estimulantes da atividade de Endo-&beta 1,3 glucanases, como Ba2+, Ca 2+,Co2+ ,Hg2+, K3Fe(CN)6,Mn2+,Na+e Zn2+. Dentre os compostos ativadores podemos citar mercaptoetanol-2, albumina de soro bovino, NaCl, Dietildiocarbonato de sódio, salicilato sódio,tripsina e CaCl2.Não existe registro na literatura da presença de cofatores para Endo-β 1,3 glucanases.

Purificação

A purificação consiste numa série de processos que removem contaminantes até a obtenção de um produto de elevado grau de pureza. Estes processos devem ocorrer em condições que mantenham a estabilidade da molécula a ser purificada, ou seja, deve-se evitar a degradação da proteína. As enzimas são purificadas pelo emprego sucessivo de métodos de fracionamento químico e físico. O objetivo de cada etapa é reter o máximo possível da enzima que se quer purificar e eliminar, também o máximo possível de outras proteínas, ácidos nucléicos e outras substâncias. A eficiência de cada etapa é dada por um rendimento ou recuperação e a purificação ou fator de purificação. Este processo este intimamente relacionado ao estudo de características moleculares e cinéticas de uma enzima. Endo-β 1,3 glucanases de diversos organismos e plantas já foram purificadas utilizando-se diversas técnicas, como a filtração em gel também conhecida como exclusão molecular, a partir do qual podemos estimar a massa molecular da enzima purificada. Este tipo de cromatografia de alta pressão juntamente com a técnica de eletroforese em gel de poliacrilamida (PAGE), permite definir em alguns casos, até mesmo a conformação da proteína. Outras técnicas, como quantificação de proteína, precipitação de proteína, processos cromatográficos e técnicas mais refinadas como difração de raios-X e espectrometria de massas também são utilizadas para este tipo de análise. O tamanho e a forma destas enzimas possuem uma estrutura com cerca de  80kDa de massa molecular para Aspergillus fumigatus , outras possuem 50kDa,como a espécie de inseto conhecida como Tenebrio molitor e 37.5 kDa em Spodoptera frugiperda.

Determinações de afinidade (Km)

Endo-β-1,3 glucanases apresentaram diferentes valores de Km sobre diferentes substratos. Para o substrato α-laminaribiosil florídeo foram encontrados os valores de Km variando de 9,7mM para Hordeum vulgare até 25,9mM para. Para Hordeum vulgare no substrato laminarina esse valor varia de 0,02 mM para Saccharomyces cerevisiae até 0, 688 mM para Cellulosimicrobium cellulans. Para a espécie Hordeum vulgare foi determinada a afinidade de endo-β 1,3 glucanase sobre diferentes substratos, neste caso a enzima apresentou maior afinidade pelo substrato laminarina quando comparado com α-laminaribiosil florídeo, 0,17 mM e 0,97 mM respectivamente. Estudos demonstraram eficiências catalíticas de até 237 s/mM sobre laminaripentaose, para Cellulosimicrobium cellulans. Até o presente momento, somente o modelo Cellulosimicrobium cellulans teve os valores de eficiência catalítica reportados.

Efeito de Inibição
Considera-se um inibidor qualquer substância que reduza a velocidade de uma reação enzimática, tais como íons, compostos ou até mesmo substratos, que podem se ligar não covalentemente à enzima. Um fenômeno comum em carboidrases que digerem polímeros e oligômeros é a inibição por substrato. Essa pode ocorrer quando a enzima tem uma grande extensão responsável por ligar o substrato e cada molécula deste associa-se com uma porção do sítio ativo. Eventos que levam a aparente inibição pelo substrato podem ser a transglicosilação8, perda de processividade e modos não produtivos de ligação. Durante a catálise, nas carboidrases há inicialmente a saída de parte do substrato do sítio ativo e a parte restante é transferida para uma molécula de água. Na reação de transglicosilação ela é transferida para outro carboidrato. Quando a concentração de substrato aumenta, esse pode tornar-se o aceptor do produto remanescente da enzima. Desse modo esse produto não é detectado e o que se verifica com o aumento da concentração de substrato é uma queda na velocidade de formação de produto. Processividade, ou grau de ataque múltiplo, é o número de ligações glicosídicas clivadas após a primeira, durante a formação de um complexo enzima-substrato. Quando ocorre perda de processividade, em muitos casos, tanto o sítio acessório quanto o catalítico estão ocupados, perdendo assim, a capacidade de realizar ataques múltiplos as cadeias do substrato. Nos modos não produtivos de ligação, a enzima torna-se incapaz de hidrolisar o substrato, devido a um erro no arranjo espacial do sítio de encaixe induzido da enzima, tornado-se improdutiva. Endo-β- 1,3 – glucanases hidrolisam laminarina e algumas podem ser inibidas por altas concentrações de substrato, seguindo os modelos descritos acima. Para Endo-β- 1,3 glucanases foram relatadas inibições totais da enzima e parciais, não possuindo uma definição objetiva, de que tipo de inibição ocorre. Dentre as constantes de inibição presentes na literatura para Endo-β-1,3 glucanases, podemos citar Ki de 1mM para Aspergillus versicolor. Como exemplos de moléculas inibitórias, podemos citar alguns exemplos como (2,3)-Epoxipropil beta-D-laminaribiose, 1-etil-3(-dimetilaminopropil) carbodiimide,2-mercaptoetanol , 3,4-epoxibutil-&beta-D-celobiosideo, 4-cloromercuribenzoato,AgNO3,Ca2+,carbodiimideo,Co2+,Cr2(SO4)3,EDTA,fidroximercuribenzoato,Pb2+,fenilmercurinitrato,óxido de propileno,SDS entre outras moléculas.

Influência do pH

O efeito do pH sobre a enzima deve-se ás variações no estado de ionização dos componentes do sistema á medida que o pH varia. Os sítios ativos das enzimas são frequentemente compostos por grupos ionizáveis que devem se encontrar na forma iônica adequada para que mantenham a conformação do sítio ativo, liguem-se aos substratos, ou catalisem a reação. Além disso, os próprios substratos podem conter grupos ionizáveis e somente uma forma iônica deste substrato pode se ligar á enzima ou sofrer catálise. Mudanças no pH do ambiente podem causar um desequilíbrio das cadeias ionizáveis dos aminoácidos, presentes nos sítio ativo,  prevenindo assim que o substrato venha a ser clivado e consequentemente que a catálise seja promovida. Geralmente as enzimas são ativas em uma faixa restrita de pH e na maioria dos casos há um pH ótimo definido. Devido a isso, deve-se sempre levar em consideração o Pka das enzimas estudadas, para se testar em quais faixas de pH a enzima se torna mais ou menos ativa. A estabilidade de uma enzima ao pH depende de muitos fatores como : temperatura, força iônica, natureza química do tampão, concentração de íons metálicos, substrato, cofatores, enzima entre outros.Diversos trabalhos descrevem Endo-β-1,3 glucanases com características ácidas e neutras. A maioria das Endo-β-1,3 glucanases possuem atividades ótimas entre valores de pH 3 e 6, Bacillus sp. Foi a única espécie descrita como possuindo pH ótimo 9 e possuem atividade ótima em pH 10.

Efeito Temperatura
A atividade catalítica das enzimas é altamente dependente da temperatura, como no caso dos catalisadores convencionais, contudo, á medida que se eleva a temperatura, dois efeitos podem ocorrer simultaneamente: a taxa de reação aumenta como se observa na maioria das reações químicas; ou a estabilidade da proteína decresce de vido a desativação térmica. Toda enzima tem uma temperatura ótima para que atinja sua atividade máxima, ou seja, é a temperatura máxima na qual a enzima possui uma atividade constante por um período. A IUBMB reporta que a maioria das enzimas é estável á 30 °C.O efeito da temperatura de uma enzima depende de um número de fatores que incluem o pH , a força iônica do meio e a presença ou ausência de ligantes. Os substratos frequentemente protegem a enzima da desnaturação do calor, mantendo-a em uma conformação apropriada. As Endo-β-1,3 glucanases estudadas são estáveis em temperaturas de 10 a 95 °C, variando entre as espécies descritas. A espécie fúngica de Aspergillus fumigatus possui uma temperatura ótima de 24 °C, enquanto a arquobactéria Pyrococcus furiosus, tem uma temperatura ótima de 104 °C.

Mecanismos de Reação

Endo-β-1,3 glucanases podem atuar sobre seu substrato através dos mecanismos de retenção ou de inversão, assim como outras glicosídeo hidrolases. Na maioria dos casos, a hidrólise é catalisada por dois resíduos de aminoácidos presentes na enzima: um ácido (próton doador) e um básico ou nucleófilo. Para cada família listada no banco de dados CAZy, pode ser indicado, quando conhecida, a forma estequiométrica da reação catalisada, assim como os tipos de resíduos de aminoácidos que atuam como base ou próton doador. As Endo-β-1,3 glucanase são reconhecidas por utilizarem resíduos de glutamato (E) / e aspartato (D) em seu sítio catalítico para o mecanismo de catálise. Para se explorar a natureza dos grupos que atuam no processo de catálise nessas enzimas, pode-se utilizar reagentes que irão realizar modificações químicas no âmbito estrutural da proteína, especialmente em seu sítio de hidrólise. Inúmeros químicos podem ser utilizados para este tipo análise, como EDC (Etil diamino propil carbodiimida) que reage com aspartato e glutamina, dietilpirocarbonato que reage com histidina, Tetranitro metano que reage com tirosina, N-bromo succinimida reage com triptofano e fenil glioxal para arginina.

Famílias
Endo-β-1,3 glucanases têm sido classificadas, com base em suas sequencias de aminoácidos principalmente, nas famílias 16, 17, 55, 64, 81 e 128 das glicosídeo hidrolases.

Aplicações
As  β-1,3- glucanases apresentam diversas aplicações desde o uso na caracterização da parede celular microbiana como também na indústria alimentícia, na produção de bebidas como vinho e cerveja, ou também como suplemento alimentar em rações, devido á presença de β-1,3-glucanas. As principais aplicações biotecnológicas destas enzimas estão descritas a seguir.:

Obtenção de oligossacarídeos bioativos
Alguns exopolissacarídeos fúngicos como escleroglucana, esquizofilana, cinereana, pestalotana têm sido descritos como β-glucanas como atividade antitumoral. A botriosferaba é uma β-glucana produzida pelo fungo ascomiceto Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 que demonstrou atividade anticlastogênica. Algumas β-glucanas que apresentam atividade biológica possuem baixa solubilidade em água e elevada viscosidade, dificultando o desenvolvimento de testes biológicos. Desta forma, as β-glucanases constituem uma ferramenta importante que pode ser utilizada para obtenção de gluco-oligossacarídeos que, mantenham ou levem a aumento da atividade biológica original. Os gluco-oligossacarídeos bioativo das β-1,3-glucanas têm sido descritos como agentes imunomoduladores e estimulantes da reposta anti-inflamatória, mediada pelas células do sistema imune, através da indução de mediadores pró e anti-inflamatórios. O mecanismos de ação anti-tumoral tem sido relacionado á indução das diversas respostas imunológicas do hospedeiro, principalmente pela ativação das células "Natural Killer"(NK).

Controle Biológico
O desenvolvimento de métodos de controle biológico como uma alternativa aos fungicidas químicos no controle de doenças em plantas tem sido estudado nos últimos anos. A aplicação de β-1,3-glucanases ou dos microrganismos produtores dessas enzimas é importante para retardar o crescimento de fungos patogênicos e diminuir a deterioração dos frutos causada pelos mesmos. A atuação dessas enzimas ocorre devido á composição da parede celular dos organismos patogênicos, a qual é composta principalmente de β-glucanas , a ação hidrolítica das β-1,3-glucanases nas paredes desses microrganismos podem causar um efeito antagonista, prevenindo a disseminação da doença.

Melhoramento da qualidade de bebidas
As β-glucanas e pentosanas são constituintes de diversos cereais, e quando em contato com a água, possuem capacidade de formar géis. Na indústria de cervejas, por exemplo, a alta viscosidade proporcionada pelas β-glucanas presentes no malte, causam problemas durante o processo de filtração. Portanto, a adição de β-glucanases nos processos de produção de bebidas é importante para promover a diminuição da viscosidade e aumentar a liberação de açúcares solúveis presentes no malte e outros cereais. A atividade de β-glucanases também está relacionada com a filtrabilidade dos vinhos tintos e brancos, além da propriedade de melhorar seu aroma e sabor através da liberação de compostos voláteis durante a fermentação. Portanto, estas hidrolases desempenham um papel importante na fabricação dos vinhos, desde a fermentação até o envelhecimento, onde catalisam diversas reações de bio-transformação.

Adição em ração para animais

O uso de hidrolases, principalmente as &beta-glucanases, como aditivos em rações suplementares fabricadas a partir de grãos como cevada, trigo e milho tornou-se popular durante a década de 80. A ação de beta-glucanases sobre estes careais liberou nutrientes e , consequentemente, aumentou a digestibilidade, uma vez que estes grãos são ricos em fibras insolúveis as quais foram parcialmente hidrolisadas por ação das enzimas adicionadas.

About 50 miles from nowhere and four hours to daybreak, I squinted through the steep windshield into a soup of sand and fumes while our 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium plowed across open desert. We were hunting the horizon for adventure or trouble and rest assured, this truck loves to find both.
Every year I get fired up to haul myself three hours east of Los Angeles to a hostile wasteland called Johnson Valley to check out The King Of The Hammers. That's a week-long off-road racing festival culminating in a title event by the same name. That last race is a tentpole of the Ultra4 series; I usually describe Ultra4 cars as "Jeeps on steroids" but they're really just enormous V8-powered buggies on tires sized at 40 inches and up.
Every year I think I'm going to do some motorsports journalism, closely follow the whole race and talk to competitors. And every year I never manage to get that done because I have way too much fun partying with other off-road enthusiasts and driving around the desert like a lunatic.
This year was wilder than most, because I had the capable and comfortable 4Runner shake down. And like I said to start–you'd be hard-pressed to find a more willing four-wheeled adventure buddy than this SUV.
Toyota was onto the idea of mass-appeal sport utility vehicles early on. In the mid 1980s, the Land Cruiser had already been an overland institution for decades. But somebody at the company had the bright idea of putting a cap and some extra seats on a pickup truck to make an inexpensive, user-friendly version of an off-road station wagon... and the O.G. 4Runner was born.
The first generation trucks were pretty much just Hilux pickups with a longer, detachable rear section of roof. Then in 1990 the 4Runner became more civilized but remained purpose-built around adventure and having fun. It gave a double meaning to the "sport" in "sport utility", so to speak.
The 4Runner's sales pitch has been the same ever since, and at the end of 2009 the world was introduced to the angular, angry-looking fifth generation we have today. This particular variant, the TRD Off-Road Premium, is supposed to be a willing partner in off-road escapades but not quite as aggressive as the TRD Pro which features a softer, more resilient suspension setup and some decorations.
All 2018 4Runners are powered by a 4.0-liter V6 that, according to Toyota, makes 270 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. That mill is mated to an old-school five-speed automatic transmission with a transfer case to lock into 4WD and low-range. The luxury-spec Limited gets automatic 4WD engagement with a knob, which is obviously not as cool.
The 4Runner is 75.8 inches wide and 191.3 inches long with a 109.8-inch wheelbase, making it substantial but not enormous by modern SUV standards. A new Jeep Wrangler four-door measures 188.2 inches long with a 118.4-inch wheelbase. Toyota claims a 4,750 pound curb weight for the 4Runner. Meanwhile, a Land Cruiser is about four inches longer and, can you believe it, over 1,000 pounds heavier. That explains why this truck feels a lot more spry, even though it's down more than 100 horsepower.
With a track width of 63.2 inches, the 4Runner is pretty maneuverable. 9.6 inches of ground clearance help it achieve a 33 degree approach and a 26 degree departure angle. A locking rear differential provides a huge traction boost for scrambling up steep obstacles and the vehicle's optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which constantly adjusts shocks to optimize wheel articulation over rough stuff, is remarkably compliant on-road and off. The Fox shocks equipped TRD Pro may have more travel, but they are locked into the same configuration forever which theoretically gives this "non-Pro" an edge in ride quality on-road.
The vehicle's maximum towing capacity is a modest 5,000 pounds, but 46.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the second row and a roll-down rear window make it a solid hauler if you're only lugging things that can fit inside the 4Runner.
There's a reason you don't hear many people complaining that the current 4Runner's design is almost a decade old. It looks perfectly badass as-is. And the robust chunkiness of the exterior styling carries over inside, too. The cockpit has a very purposeful vibe to it with steep windows, big grab handles and some controls over the windshield. Have you ever noticed how cool it looks to have extra switches over the windshield?
The 4Runner rides high, but the vehicle's overall size feels manageable. Suspension is soft but perfectly viable for on-road driving without wimping out over big bumps. In fact, the 4Runner's enthusiasm to hop right off the highway and onto the sand might be one of my favorite things about it. The vehicle just feels eager.
Long highway slogs aren't bad, either. Though the 4Runner is not particularly fuel efficient or luxurious, the commanding view you get behind the wheel and militaristic interior architecture make every ride feel like an important mission.
The lever-activated transfer case, locking rear diff, solid suspension and roof-console controls all help make the 4Runner a capable and characterful machine, but of course my favorite unique feature might be the disappearing rear window which makes hauling long things, or a dog, or just hanging out in the back of the truck a lot more fun and breezy.
The 4Runner's archaic five-speed automatic transmission isn't awful, but the fact that Toyota's OK with a basic box of gears here yet denies us a manual feels a little insulting. In fact, the lack of a stick is the main thing keeping this vehicle the "almost" ultimate SUV.
I'm no supply chain executive, but I feel like the 4Runner is actually one of the few vehicles that a large corporation like Toyota could actually justify offering a manual transmission in, even though, yes, only a few of us will buy it.
I'm also pretty underwhelmed by Toyota's infotainment experience. The software skin looks fresh-for-10-years-ago and while that seems to work for the truck's exterior, nobody wants a retro-looking navigation system.
Other than that, I have to say I had a really hard time getting used to the jarringly aggressive initial brake bite. But if you're looking for an SUV that feels like a truck, it's hard to find things to complain about with this thing.
I already mentioned that the 4Runner's cab feels tall and tough, which feeds your ego and gives you a little sense of superiority over the dinky cars and crossovers cluttering the road ahead of you. I think that's the sensation Hummer (RIP) was going for a decade ago, but fortunately you're in a Toyota now so nobody's going to point and laugh while you ride by.
Unless they're in a Jeep and you're stuck in the mud. But I digress.
The 4Runner's off-road tendencies are apparent but not annoying in casual driving–the vehicle certainly rolls and tilts more than you might be used to if you haven't spent much time in trucks, but as long as you're not trying to overtake on an onramp or carve Angeles Crest you're not likely to feel uncomfortable.
Similarly, acceleration is adequate but unremarkable.
I did find myself testing the seatbelt tensioners a little too often for my liking though, as the damn brakes clamp the rotors far too fiercely with a light tap of the fat brake pedal. Did I mention that yet?
I started my off-road shakedown in my own private tornado of sand, whipped up with traction control and the front axle disabled. On a loose surface, the V6 had more than enough power to hold a heathy slide for as long as I wanted to. Hilarity ensued.
Just easing off the throttle a little was enough to straighten the truck out and burst clear of my dust cloud, making a heroic entrance into a Mad Max hellscape I was spending my weekend in.
Hanging out in 2WD, the 4Runner was more than happy to shake and shimmy its way over the open desert. Another tail-happy turn was just a blip of the throttle away in soft sand, and the suspension was more than happy to absorb the steady barrage of bumps that punctuate most of the trails in Johnson Valley.
Engaging 4x4 made the 4Runner infallibly surefooted, and the vehicle felt pretty well unstoppable until I got into rocks. There, I engaged low-range which unlocked a massive boost of torque to the wheels. But while the 4Runner has plenty of power for rock crawling, I found it to be a smidgen too long and low to be able to keep up with my friends in their heavily upgraded off-roaders. I'm told you can still fit aftermarket suspension on a KDSS-equipped Toyota, so a little lift and a few more inches of tire should take a 4Runner from "competent" to "crushing it" off-road should you so desire.
Down scary-steep hills, the 4Runner's terrain-responsive off-road cruise control (Toyota calls it Crawl Control) made a lot of noise but was extremely effective at managing the vehicle's speed. It goes a long way in idiot-proofing your off-road ride, basically all you need to do is steer and the truck will hold your hand down big drops at a walking pace.
You're looking at about a $40,000 MSRP for this version of the 4Runner, which is a sizable amount of money. But like its stablemates the Land Cruiser, Tacoma and Tundra, used 4Runners tend to stay expensive. That means buying a new one isn't too bad of a proposition compared to a lot of other cars.
As for alternatives, the only other stock SUV that really offers this much earnest off-road ability and attitude out of the box is the Jeep Wrangler. Those also hold their value well, but I feel like the 4Runner's independent front suspension might make it a bit better ride on-road and at higher speeds. I also happen to find the Toyota a little more refined inside, even compared to the revised-for-2018 Wrangler.
Then again, you can't get a 4Runner with removable doors, windshield and roof panels. Or, as I mentioned, a manual transmission.
The 4Runner looks cool, has the necessary capability to stand behind that styling, a solid track record for reliability and huge off-road aftermarket support. And despite its thirst for fuel, it's a far more livable daily driver than an off-road 4x4 has a right to be.
But more importantly, the 4Runner has something precious few 2018-model vehicles can claim: personality. The truck feels lively, communicative and just downright good-spirited. The look of the cab and feel of the suspension just exude adventure. You buy a truck like this because you want to mount your own epic expeditions. You'll keep it because every trip to the store feels like one.
Just a manual shifter shy of adventure-vehicle perfection.

FAQ: Conservation Partnerships – And Why They Work
Land is a valuable, appreciating asset, and often represents a sizable percentage of a landowner's total personal wealth. That's why landowners are sometimes conflicted by their desire to conserve beloved property for the future and their need to tap the land's financial worth today.
Landowners with relatively low income-tax obligations may not be in a financial position to make the decision to conserve their land. In these cases, the landowners may feel their only option to raise needed cash is to sell their land to a developer.
However, there is another viable alternative. Landowners can team up with several family members, friends, or a group of unrelated individuals to form a conservation partnership.
Donations from conservation partnerships allow environmentally valuable land to be conserved permanently. Approximately 20 million acres of land, roughly the size of the state of South Carolina, have been conserved since the current tax incentive was created in 2006. With more lands being conserved than ever before, why would we turn back the clock on a system that has been working as intended for almost 40 years?
Learn more about conservation partnerships below – and see examples of conservation partnerships in our Conserved Lands portfolio.
Conservation Partnerships: The Facts
How do private sources of funding like private equity funds or conservation partnerships help land trusts fulfill their conservation mission? How do they benefit the public?
Conservation partnerships are a crucial tool in the effort to protect our nation's most important land resources. But conservation is expensive, and in an era where government cannot fund the cost of conservation alone, significant new sources of private funding are required to preserve land and protect our resources for future generations. Whether the land being conserved is owned by an individual, a family partnership or an investment partnership that purchases and owns land — all play an important role in financing needed conservation projects. Conservation partnerships have led to a democratization of land protection efforts that benefits the environment every day and will be critical to ensuring the private sector can take on more responsibility in maintaining a healthy balance between economic growth and our environment.
Conservation easement donations by conservation partnerships represent a win-win-win scenario because they: (A) Allow environmentally valuable land to be conserved, (B) provide needed sources of funding to land trusts outside of just wealthy individual landowners and (C) cost the federal government no more than if the donation came from an independently wealthy individual.
Why are the IRS and other organizations representing land trusts concerned about some conservation easement donations by conservation partnerships?
They are concerned about tax deductions for conservation easement donations that may be based on an overvalued appraisal of the donation. Fortunately, when you consider any publicly available statistics, abuses of valuation with conservation easement donations are rare and are no more likely to come from a wealthy landowner, a family partnership or a partnership of unrelated individuals.
P4C agrees that common sense improvements to the conservation easement legislation can and should be made, and that's why our best include detailed recommendations to help landowners identify qualified appraisers, substantiate the highest and best use for their property and confirm the appraised value. It's also why we developed legislative proposals. It's also important to remember that the current tax incentive was approved by both the Bush and Obama Administrations, and it opened the conservation movement to more Americans.
What does P4C think are the warning signs of an overvalued conservation easement donation?
The warning signs are in the appraisal. To ensure proper valuation, appraisals should be up-to-date and accurately substantiate the highest and best use of the property — an industry-accepted standard that is used by appraisers, regardless of whether the client is an individual or a conservation partnership. Appraisals of conservation easements must be performed by a qualified appraiser who is authorized to appraise properties in the area, and the appraiser must attest to the fact that she or he has no conflict of interest. P4C also recommends that conservation easement appraisals are reviewed by at least one qualified third party for validation. Taxpayers and appraisers who overvalue conservation easements face significant tax penalties, and any unscrupulous appraiser risks losing their livelihood through revocation of their license. This is why P4C has put forth a number of best practices to ensure warning signs are identified and addressed.
So, what do you propose we do?
P4C is advocating for a legislative solution that accomplishes three goals:
Enhance the definition of "qualified appraisal" to produce more accurate and well-substantiated valuations.
Bolster the educational requirements to be a "qualified appraiser" in order to ensure appraisers have sufficient training and expertise.
Produce greater visibility and transparency of conservation easement donations.
By legislating sensible solutions, Congress will ensure that conservation easements continue to be used to protect valuable land and environmental resources, while eliminating the rare instances of abuse that exist.

Make Roux Ahead of Time and Life Will Be Easier
Merrimon/Getty Images
Thicken your sauces and stews without worrying about burning flour
Margaret Eby
Growing up in Alabama, I knew that the hardest part of making gumbo was getting the roux right. Add as many tasty ingredients as you want, but if you don't have that essential binder, it'll be soup, not gumbo. Roux was intimidating to me. I knew burning it was bad. I knew that if I was making gumbo, I was also moving around 50 things at once in the kitchen, and burning it was also easy to do.
So when it was sauce day in the culinary program I'm in, I paid close attention to the section on roux, and what I learned was a revelation: There is absolutely no good reason to make your roux at the same time as your sauce and meat and whatever else you have going on. You can make roux ahead of time, put it in the refrigerator or even freeze it, and use it whenever you want to thicken sauces and stews.
First, a reminder on what roux is. It's a mixture of roughly equal amounts of flour and fat, usually oil or butter, that you combine and cook until it begins to color. You can have a lighter roux for lighter sauce like a béchamel and a darker one for darker sauces, like for gumbo. Basically you want to make sure the raw flour taste is gone for a lighter roux, and that it's a nice golden brown or even brown-brown for a darker roux. You have to keep an eye on it the whole time and whisk constantly because once it starts to take on color, things can progress rapidly and suddenly you've burned the whole thing and need to start over.
But there is nothing that says that you can't make a batch of roux well ahead of time and keep it for when you need it. In fact, that's what we do in class—break off a chunk from a quart container in the refrigerator and add it to a simmering sauce to thicken it. (You can also thicken sauces uses beurre manie, which is just combining equal parts soft butter and flour until it forms a kind of dough, which is a neat trick and also means you don't have the hassle of cooking the flour. Or you can roast flour in the oven and then combine it with butter! The possibilities, I tell you).
The only thing that you want to make very sure of when you're adding a roux or a beurre manie to thicken your suace—or even a cornstarch slurry—is that you have a temperature differential going. You can add cold roux to simmering stock, but if you add warm roux to the stock, the sauce will get lumpy. That's a useful thing to know for everything, but particularly when you're making gravy.

Celebrity Murder
August 6th, 2008 @ 11:25 AM Lifestyle
A Lebanese singing star was found stabbed to death in her Dubai Marina apartment.
Suzan Abdul Sattar Tamim was also disfigured by her attacker. Dubai Police said the 31-year-old singer was stabbed several hours before her body was discovered.
Police had received a report from one of her relatives who lived in Sharjah, and went to her apartment at Burj Al Remal building in Dubai Marina Monday night where they discovered her body.
Suzan had been living alone in the building for the past eight months. A former winner of the Lebanese talent show Studio Al Fan in 1996, Suzan enjoyed many hit singles during her early career.
Suzan spent most of her short life between courts, police stations and hideouts. Her problems started with a long and unexplained absence period that she spent in France, even before her first short marriage to Ali Muzannar and their divorce in 2002.
Shortly after her divorce, Suzan met the man who would become her second husband, Adel Matouk. She was introduced to Matouk by star maker Simone Asmar, director of Studio Al Fan, who asked Matouk to take care of her.
Matouk took care of Suzan's 10-year contract with Asmar, and started an extensive campaign to re-launch her music career with his company, Arab-European Production. He also signed a 15-year exclusive contract with the singer.
Less than eight months later, problems erupted between the couple. Matouk asked his wife to stop singing and become a housewife, which she refused. He obtained a court order banning Suzan from travelling outside Lebanon.


Instagram has become a popular destination for social users and businesses alike, with more than 200 million active monthly users.
It's not surprising that many marketers are turning to the platform as a way to further engage and inspire brand loyalty.
If you want the masses to pay attention, you have to give them something worthy of paying attention to.
So what is considered quality content?
Getting a reader to stop and actually look is the first step in the cycle of engagement.
Hashtags are incredibly useful on Instagram.
They allow people to find your content, join a community, browse a category, etc.
A hashtag is a great first step to bring people to your post. The more hashtags you use, the more likely you'll be seen.
Know the best time to post for your audience. This will be when your followers are most active, commenting and posting. That's when you'll get the most engagement.
Use this information to continually grow your Instagram following.
Posting in patterns has been shown to increase engagement.
This could be posting once per week. Twice per week. Or even each day.
Posting consistency allows people to more regularly see your brand and begin to remember you.
Instagram also rewards people who use the app consistently. If you're not consistent, Instagram will not show your new posts often in a follower's home feed.
One strategy to get people to engage is asking a question.
What do you think about ___?
Have you ever tried ___?
What are your thoughts on ___?
Who's interested in a post on ___?
When you speak directly to the reader, it's more likely they'll respond.
People go out of their way to comment on your posts.
Take the time to reply to as many comments as possible. It gives your brand a more personable side and opens the lines of communication.
Asking people to tag their friends can sometimes cause a snowball effect. New people might discover your account for the first time.
Start a fun game with your followers by asking them to reply to the last comment.
This encourages activity beyond your typical engagement.
One of the most popular ways to encourage engagement is by hosting a giveaway.
From commenting to hosting giveaways, these tips showcase useful ways to grow organic engagement on Instagram.

Philadelphia Eagles-Santander Bank MorphingStation
Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
When we heard that MVP Interactive had teamed up with Santander Bank to deploy a MorphingStation at Lincoln Financial Field for the remainder of the 2013 Philadelphia Eagles Season, it rang a bell and, sure enough, it's the third installation of its type by the 16-months-old MVP Interactive.
"Each of our installations is custom designed for the brands," says James Giglio, CEO of MVP Interactive, a Philadelphia-based sports marketing software company specializing in in-venue fan engagement.
"Earlier ones included one for the Houston Dynamo soccer team with the BBVA Compass Bank, and for the Houston Rocket NBA games at the Toyota Center. The difference in the Philadelphia Eagles one is that it's mobile, on wheels, so it can be moved around easily."
Giglio says that while MVP Interactive's software is used in all, the installations themselves are owned by the teams.
"We tied them together with the sponsors – in the new one it's the Santander Bank – because the teams have had limited marketing budgets to work with and this is a good branding opportunity for the bank," says Giglio. "The one at the Toyota Center is being used all year 'round, not only for the Houston Rockets' games but for concerts, trade shows and other events. And we have an arrangement with the various MorphingStations that they can renew the software license annually."
The patented technology allow fans at the Philadelphia Eagles games to morph themselves into the #sandandergameface – a combination of virtual face paint, Eagles helmets and crazy hair-dos. Customized facial detection software captures the fan's image and the fan can then touch the screen to make their choices, have and uploaded directly to Facebook or Twitter, while the brand captures key fan data such as email addresses and demographic information.
Other popular deployments of the MorphingStation allow sports fans morph into virtual Bobbleheads or their favorite team's mascot. The Morphing station is a Wi-Fi hot spot for easy connections to Facebook and Twitter, and emailing to themselves
Both the team and the bank will have a wealth of data both from the email addresses and because MVP Interactive is using its own anonymous analytics to compile data on the use of the various aspects of the MorphingStation. (The company often uses Quividi, although not for this particular installation.)
"We hope to make MorphingStations available in sports arenas and rinks across the U.S. and beyond," says Giglio.
"We're very interested in expansion to the U.K. and Europe, and to Canada. But we aren't just looking at sports facilities. We are also interested in retail malls and the theatrical sector such as movie theatres."
Giglio is owner of the company, with a small backing from Mall of America.

Nicotine preloading does not significantly increase subsequent smoking abstinence in adult daily smokers with tobacco dependence.
Paul Aveyard, Ph.D., from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and colleagues conducted a randomized open label trial involving 1,792 adults who were daily smokers with tobacco dependence. Participants were randomized to either the control arm (893 participants) and received standard smoking cessation pharmacotherapy and behavioral support or to the preloading arm (899 adults) who received the same treatment supplemented by four weeks of 21-mg nicotine patch use before quitting.
The researchers found that biochemically validated abstinence at six months was achieved by 17.5 and 14.4 percent of participants in the preloading and control arms, respectively (odds ratio, 1.25; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.97 to 1.62; P = 0.08 in the primary analysis). After adjustment for use of varenicline as a post-cessation treatment, the odds ratio for the effect of preloading was 1.34 (95 percent CI, 1.03 to 1.73; P = 0.03). The odds ratio for the difference in prolonged abstinence at four weeks was 1.21 (95 percent CI, 1.00 to 1.48) in analyses unadjusted for varenicline use, and 1.32 (95 percent CI, 1.08 to 1.62) in analyses adjusted for varenicline.


Investment is hailed as the primary proponent of growth in all economies which makes Foreign Direct Investment inflow a necessary and important part of growth analysis. The FDI decision however depends on the innovation intensity of various industries, among other factors. This particular concept warrants the importance of investigating the industry specific FDI inflow and its relation to growth. Previous literatures has not looked into the impact of the industry-specific FDI inflow, coupled with innovation intensities, on economic growth and thus, the paper looks into whether manufacturing industry specific FDI inflow through four degrees of innovation intensity has a statistically significant impact on economic growth. Using the OECD categorization of manufacturing industries' technological intensity and taking data on 35 countries over 15 years, from the OECD and WDI database, and using a fixed effects panel estimation with robust standard errors, it is observed that FDI in medium low tech manufacturing industries cause a statistically significant rise in per capita GDP. The finding is interpreted by looking at the resultant market operation structure of the medium low tech industries, which are primarily involved in manufacturing intermediate goods and normal consumer goods. As these industries have a higher product turnover, the impact of this investment can be captured on the short-run or medium-run analysis, whereas the returns on investment in the high-tech industries rarely has any significant impact on the short-run analysis. With regards to these results, policies to attract FDI in medium low-tech industries are inherently beneficial for the recipient nations. Thus, policies enacting FDI liberalization is required to induce higher economic growth.

My research interest is in understanding the environmental factors which contribute to the development of islet autoimmunity and progression to type 1 diabetes, with the ultimate goal of preventing type 1 diabetes in the future. In 2014, I joined investigators on two large epidemiologic studies: DAISY (Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young), a cohort study based in Colorado which includes over 2,500 high-risk children and young adults identified during infancy and followed for up to seventeen years; and TEDDY (The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young), a multi-center consortium with centers in Colorado, Washington, Georgia, Florida, Finland, Germany and Sweden, following over 8,500 children and collecting a wide array of data on dietary, infectious and other exposures. With a background in molecular biology and biochemistry, I am interested in the use and integration of 'omics data (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) to generate new insights into the disease processes.


Whether it's for NYE, Diwali or Eid… Fireworks are a great way to add a bang to any celebration!
But what a lot of UAE residents don't realise is that buying and selling fireworks in Dubai is in fact strictly regulated and illegal.
In fact, importing and selling illegal fireworks in the UAE is a problem – one which authorities try to curb with awareness initiatives such as the Fireworks Danger Awareness Campaign from recent years.
Despite efforts, there are residents who continue to buy fireworks in Dubai for special events and occasions illegally.
Here's our complete guide to buying and selling fireworks in Dubai, and the laws you need to be aware of.
Where can you buy fireworks in Dubai?
Simply put – you shouldn't.
There are underground, hidden stores in particular areas of Dubai that with a little exploring, you'll find someone selling them illegally. But residents are urged not to purchase these fireworks and fire-crackers as they risk being penalised if caught by authorities.
For parents of older children or teenagers, be vigilant with monitoring their online activity – as some vendors can and do sell fireworks in Dubai online or via WhatsApp and/or Facebook.
What is the penalty for having fireworks in Dubai?
In Dubai, anyone caught selling fireworks can be jailed for up to six months, or handed down fines of up to AED 10,000.
Residents caught using fireworks or in the possession of fireworks are dealt with in the same way as individuals who are in possession of explosives.
The importation and possession of a weapon is governed by UAE Federal Law No. 3 of 2009 regarding Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives.
Who can buy fireworks in Dubai?
Only licenced companies with the skills, training and safety procedures in place are able to handle fireworks and fireworks displays legally in Dubai and UAE.
Event organisers must have the permission of the Dubai Police and Dubai Municipality before using fireworks. The use of fireworks in Dubai is considered an activity that affects airspace – and thus the correct approvals need to be obtained.
More information about getting this permit from the General Civil Aviation Authority can be found here.
Ongoing efforts from authorities and Dubai Police occur each year, as the public are reminded of the dangers of fireworks and penalties illegal importers face.
Residents are urged to alert authorities if they know of a company or individual selling fireworks illegal.
After all, if used incorrectly – people risk potentially serious injury to themselves or others if fireworks are set off in an incorrect way or unsafe environment.
While fireworks for personal use are illegal, Dubai and the UAE do arrange community events that the public can attend and enjoy fireworks displays.
Especially for events like New Year's Eve, Eid, Diwali and UAE National Day – the all-encompassing, multi-cultural nature of the city means that events are regularly held that cater to all cultural norms and traditions for the many different nationalities living here.
Some of the best places to watch fireworks in Dubai include The Beach at JBR, Al Seef, La Mer, Dubai Festival City Mall and of course, Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa for the huge annual NYE show.

Ortigas Art Festival 2019 Spotlights Over 100 Artists
Albert "vinc3nt" Santiago February 21, 2019 art
Following its successful turnout last year, Ortigas & Company launched the 10-day Ortigas Art Festival to assert their commitment to bringing arts and culture closer to the people.
Now on its second year, the exhibit continues to put its efforts towards establishing Estancia as the art hub of Ortigas. This year's approach brought individual artists to the spotlight, showcasing their creative individuality and placing them at the forefront of the art scene.
It was the idea of Renato Habulan, renowned social realist painter, to tap the various groups of artists from all over the country and give them a venue to exhibit their works. Ortigas Malls was receptive to the idea of promoting grassroots participation in the art scene.
No gallery representation – just artists working together; no admission charge for the viewers – walk through the art for free.
Among the featured artists is master engraver Benjie Torrado Cabrera, the only engraver in the country specializing in this laborious, centuries-old medium. His works, which are complex in detail, are inspired by his interest in cosmology, with geometric shapes and spheres that signify the universe.
Another one to look out for is Darwin "Japat" Guevarra, a self-taught artist inspired by the works of masters and his peers, showcases works that reflect his concepts of life and social realism, expressed through his mastery of the paintbrush, sculpting, photography, and experimenting with scrap and molded materials.
Also in the spotlight is photographer Bern Wong, with her camera that has captured the most moving meditative and breathtaking landscapes she has seen encountered in her travels. Her works express the minimal, abstract, and even the surreal aspects of places she visits.
Make sure to check out the works of Richard Buxani, an architect who has since harnessed his talent to create sculptures made out of metal. Inspired by Ronald Castrillo, Richard discovered a natural fondness for bending, crafting, cutting, welding and molding materials – which will be showcased at the art festival.
Also joining the art festival are artists from all over the country, whose works mirror the great talent of Filipino artists. The roster includes AgawXena, Agos Kulay Maynila, Banta Artist Initiative, Himbon, Biskeg, The Guild, Group Artists of Taytay, Association of Pinoy Printmakers, Hilaga, and Westgrove Fine Arts.
To create a more interactive and immersive art experience, various activities have also been lined up, which visitors can join for free. On February 23, master engraver Benjamin Cabrera shows his prowess in print-making. For those interested in watercolors, watercolor artist Peter Sutcliffe will hold tutorials on February 24 and March 2. On March 3, Renato Habulan introduces guests to Print Alla Prima with the Master. Throughout the festival, the public is also encouraged to participate through the "Comment Areas" where they can share their thoughts and opinions to let the artists know how their works are perceived.
The rapidly-evolving festival has already grabbed the attention of various artists from across the globe, including some from New York, Los Angeles, and Singapore who want to become part of this movement-- a sign that bigger and better things will come about in the coming years for Ortigas Art Festival.
Ortigas & Company is delighted to see that support for contemporary Philippine art has been growing. As part of our commitment to the arts, we are holding the second run of this art festival in the hope that this will increase appreciation for the creative individuality of artists. By holding this in Estancia, we are also making art accessible to Filipinos, especially for our mall patrons and the Capitol Commons community," concluded Arch. Renee Bacani, VP of Ortigas & Company.

Review: "Gentle Giant: The Missing Piece-35th Anniversary Edition (remaster)" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
The post-Interview period for Gentle Giant generally takes a lot of heat from the prog rock faithful, as the band entered into poppier and more commercial waters for a few albums, ultimately beginning the eventual demise of the band. The Missing Piece was the start of this period, and while the album is a far cry from ultra complex and progressive works of Octopus, Free Hand, In a Glass House, The Power and the Glory, Three Friends, and Acquiring the Taste, it still has its moments despite most of the material being pretty bouncy & straightforward pop and rock songs. Derek Shulman and DRT Entertainment have remastered the album and included all the original artwork and lyrics.
The opener "Two Weeks in Spain" is a vibrant and quirky opener with insistent guitar licks from Gary Green and a charming vocal from Derek Shulman, as well as airy keyboards from Kerry Minnear. While lyrically and musically it's pretty light pop fare, and a big change from what you would normally expect from Gentle Giant, the song really works. "I'm Turning Around" is a poignant rocker about forging a new life after a break-up, with strong vocals from Shulman and effective riffs from Green's guitar and Minnear's organ.
The band tackles the then- popular punk movement with "Betcha Thought We Couldn't Do It", and I'm sure many longtime fans wished they didn't. Although an admirable attempt to keep up with the genre that was essentially responsible for putting an end to prog-rock, hearing the mighty Gentle Giant pounding away here sounds a bit forced. Gary Green does though get a chance to really rock out on this one. In fact, his bluesy licks are all over the straighforward yet lazy rock piece "Who Do You Think You Are?", and work well alongside Minnear's honky tonk piano melodies on the rumbling "Mountain Time".
It's the second half of the CD that is most representative of the classic Gentle Giant sound. "As Old As You're Young" sounds like it could have come off Three Friends, a warm little ditty with layers of vocals, Minnear's clever use of a myriad of keyboards, slippery bass work from Ray Shulman, and John Weathers' nimble jazzy drum work. The most endearing piece on the album, and the one that most fans remember, is the acoustic majesty of "Memories of Old Days". Here, Derek Shulman pulls out all the stops for one of his most heartfelt vocal performances, and the dual acoustic guitar textures from Ray and Gary are just magical. Complemented by Minnear's sumptuous keyboards, this is just a stunning piece, and easily the best song from the band from this era in their history. "Winning" sees John Weathers laying down all sorts of percussion and tricky drum signatures, while the rest of the band rocks out with searing guitars and Hammond for a quirky and rocking good time. The closer, "For Nobody" is a driving rocker led by Minnear's raging Hammond riffs and Green intricate guitar lines. This remaster includes a bonus live version of this song recorded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1977.
While The Missing Piece is far from being a classic Gentle Giant album, there's still enough strong tracks to warrant its place in the overall scheme of must have albums by the band. It might be "missing" some of the unique interplay that the band was known for, and Ray Shulman seems to be playing a lesser role here, but with at least a few killer tracks and some mediocre yet good pop songs, it's worth checking out if you haven't already.

Smithsonian Museum will have a video game gallery next year, wants you to vote on what's in it
Vlad Savov|February 22, 2011 11:10 AM
Nobody tell Roger Ebert, but the Smithsonian Museum has announced plans for a new exhibition, called The Art of Video Games, which will run between March and September next year. Charting the 40-year (now there's a number that will make you feel old in a hurry) evolution of gaming from paddle-based pixel exchanges to sophisticated online multiplayer extravaganzas, this collection of memoirs will focus on the most visually striking and technologically innovative titles. Perhaps knowing how heated debates about video games can get, the Museum has sagely decided to co-opt its audience into the curatorial process -- the second source link below will take you to a voting page where you can select your top 80 games from a shortlist of 240... and of course express your rage at the omission of some obscure title you totally loved late one night in 1995.


a) New student can take a placement test, consult an advisor to be able to study in the most appropriate class.

Q: How to ask if two variables are equal to something in one if statement What I'm trying to do is make an if statement asking to check that two separate int variables equal a certain number, and if they don't, run a piece of code.
E.g.
int x = 10;
int y = 10;

if((x && y) != 9)
  //do something

Please help me out

A: This is possible in one if statement, but not with only one binary condition; you have to compare each variable separately, and connect both comparison results with a logical AND (&&):
if ((x != 9) && (y != 9)) …

P.S.: The above assumes that you only want to do something (…) if both variables have some value other than 9. If you want to do something even if just one of the variables is not equal to 9, then replace the logical AND (&&) with logical OR (||):
if ((x != 9) || (y != 9)) …

Media Mention May 11, 2017
Megan Brown Discusses Rod Rosenstein's Respect for the Law Following Dismissal of FBI Director James Comey
Wiley Rein partner Megan L. Brown was quoted in a May 10 Law360 article focusing on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and his role in the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey. The complexity of the issues and the timing of the dismissal were discussed in the article. Ms. Brown, who has known Mr. Rosenstein for more than 15 years – having worked with him at the U.S. Department of Justice and in the Maryland U.S. Attorney's Office – said he would not have signed the memo criticizing Mr. Comey's handling of the probe into Hillary Clinton's private email server unless it was in keeping with the law.
"Rod has the utmost integrity and respect for the rule of law and our institutions, including the FBI, DOJ, and the office of the presidency," Ms. Brown said. "He would not sign a memo to the Attorney General or the President that he did not believe in."
Ms. Brown is a member of Wiley Rein's Appellate, Litigation, Privacy & Cybersecurity, and Telecom, Media & Technology practices.
