North Wales coast path section completed and then what?
Overslept, so it was a real rush to get to the church for 9:30 (a 20 minute drive away!), and having only had one cup of coffee! Not helped by me thinking when I looked at my watch when I woke up it was 7:30 when it was in fact 8:30. The weather was extremely wet and most of the view was blotted out(!) and it stayed that way all day. Church turned out to be congregation led morning prayer from the 'green book'. We thought about the importance of bringing peace and making peace. On the way back I harvested a paper and some croissants from the Spar in Nefyn and had some proper coffee and a very leisurely and very late breakfast.
As well as doing some craft, and catching up on Redrock on iplayer!, I did some strategic planning on what to do next, and looked at the public transport options for the next bit of the coast path. I am 4 days off the pace of the walk book (not surprising given my starting level of fitness!), and with other things meaning in the next 2 weeks I am going to lose some time to necessary other matters, I decided to do one more walk on the North Wales trail (which will complete that section) then switch to the other coast of the Lleyn. I will spend some time on Tuesday exploring the Lleyn in the car (so I don't miss it completely). I have also found some arriva trains (and a couple of buses to help!) and I am staying only 8 miles away from Pwllheli, where I will pick up the trail then head towards the Meirionnydd and Ceredigion sections of the trail!
To be honest glorious as it was, I had slight misjudged the length of this section. There was a then a long cut inland with a helpful bench with the most fabulous view of the mountains, where I had a snack and aroused the interest of the local cows. Then more in the nature reserve, and finally 3 sides of a rectangle, a long section on a dyke, then on a road passed a caravan park and Caernafon airport (very reminiscent of Redhill aerodrome!), and then finally the home straight down the sea front to where I had parked the car. The view down the sea front was amazing, mountains ahead and the sea doing it's stuff, but to be honest it was a bit of a struggle – and I wasn't surprised when I consulted my phone, that it was nearly 2 miles more than I had done before! Note to self be more careful when combining different sections!
I used the car as the touching point – so that will provide some continuity when I begin walking again on the south side of the LLeyn on Wednesday.
I did some car touring, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Lleyn peninsula on a bright but chilly day – This included Aberdaron with its pilgrim church (associated with RS Thomas) and a stroll on the beach, Abersoch (scene of some childhood memories with smelly sand!), and lunch near Porth Dinllaen, with my NT membership proving very useful. It was good to enjoy the beauty of this part of the world at a more leisurely pace.

Alley Of Books: Can you say AH-MAZING?!
As if my being obsessed with reading it over and over wasn't enough, Beautiful Creatures has gone and made itself even more memorable. Rather unforgettable.
Do you remember watching P.S. I Love You with Gerard Butler, Hilary Swank and Jeffery Dean Morgan, crying buckets of tears along the way?
Beautiful Creatures has been optioned by Warner Bros. to be made into a movie!
What could possibly be better than Ethan and Lena being eternalized on the silver screen?
...This is where P.S. I Love You comes in. The person who wrote the screenplay - writer/director Richard LaGravenese is on board! As is Erwin Stoff (The Blind Side) as producer!

It has been a while since I last blogged about writing for Thomas L. Knapp's William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism, but at long last I've capped off a planned troika of op-ed commentaries started this summer with the Oscar-baiting "The Madness of the Academy." "Can't Stop the Bookstore" struck back with my examination of how Amazon's $15 wage may not be the pure concession it has been assumed to be on both sides of the conflict. Along the way, I took a look at the forgotten history of corporate liberalism, explained how a small bookstore has succeeded where Barnes & Noble failed, and found a plotline that The Simpsons hasn't done yet. The trilogy concludes with "Protectionist Presidents are the Parents of Our Country's Trusts" taking on the still-current fallout of Trump's trade policies, uncovering the hidden history of free trade as a progressive cause.

Both adults and children can participate in a memorable and very informative half-day tour behind Chiang Mai's old city wall.
We visit the ancient city of Wiang Khum Kham and especially the Ping River, which is also one of our first stops.
The trip is also an introduction to Thai culture and your English speaking guide will explain a lot about the content and significance of Buddhism in Thai culture. Chiang Mai has also been influenced by many other places which we will sense through the colonial architecture that we see clear examples of in a church and a hospital.
The beautiful teak houses are also still to be found in Chiang Mai, and although the city is large we often meet locals fishing in the river as they have done for generations.
Along the way we stop several times to have cold drinks and fresh fruit.
We visit the fascinating ruins of the ancient city of Wiang Khum Kham, which was buried in mud already in 1200 and since have been forgotten by the city's citizens of the ancient Lanna kingdom. Some of the temples have, however, been rebuilt and we visit one of those which also have a spirit house wherein one of the ancient kings' spirit is said to be.
Finally we drive back to Tha Pae Gate at Chiang Mai's old city wall and visit Somphet market.
In total, we will have cycled about 20 km on good roads with no hills.
Children from 5 to 11 years. It is possible to order a child seat if preferred.
Interested in Chiang Mai Bike Tour?
Bikes: Comfortable bikes (adapted mountain bikes) which are versatile and comfortable.

The longer, warmer days of summer are perfect for tackling organization projects that require being outside. If you have a garage now is the perfect time to spend the weekend cleaning it out and getting it organized.
Believe it or not, emptying out a garage in its entirety is not the first thing that comes to mind when it's time to get organized. While it may seem easier to simply clean up around the existing items, emptying the garage will help when you start organizing.Once you have taken everything out, sweep and dust the entire garage.When you are done with cleaning you have a blank slate to work with for creating an organization plan. This will make it easier to think of new ways to add storage, different configurations for shelving, hooks and more.
You will also be able to see the items taking up most of the space in your garage. Take this opportunity to decide which items you need, and which items you may want to consider donating or throwing away. Take an inventory of the items you have and start with a simple list that categorizes things you use often and will need to access easily, things you rarely use or seasonal items and things you don't use.
Measure the length of your walls making note of where your windows are.
Measure the height of your garage from floor to ceiling.
Using your inventory of the items you store in your garage come up with zones to categorize related items for organization.
Adding shelves or hanging cabinets to an empty wall will help utilize your space and keep you organized. Using the measurements discussed above will let you know the size of cabinets or the length of the shelves that can fit in a particular place. It's also a good idea to use the height of your garage to create loft storage areas. By storing some of your items near the ceiling they will be far out of your way on most days but, easily accessible on days when you need them.
Placing things like bikes and lawn equipment on racks are a simple way to keep those items from feeling like useless clutter. Racks can also be very helpful for organizing items since you can hang related items on the same rack. Built in cabinets can also be used secure items that you don't want exposed.
Always label any boxes and containers with a clear description of the contents. Make sure you store the items with the labels facing out and keep all related items in their respective zone. Not only are these labels useful for organizing your existing items but, they are also helpful for knowing where to put items in the future.
If you have more to put back into your garage for storage, but don't want to add clutter- try a self-storage unit. EZ Storage has many sizes to fit as little as a few boxes of Christmas decorations or as big to fit a car. Find out what storage unit size is right for you.

Each player will get: 2 Origin, 2 Motivation, and 2 Destiny cards. Players will choose 1 of each to start the game. The rulebook says for your first game to just deal out one of each and roll with it.
Each player also gets 1 Hero card and 3 Experience tokens to start the game.
You'll place the Origin and Motivation cards face up on the left and center spots on your Player board.
The Morality tracker token will be placed on the third level, meaning you are neutral and can play both Hero and Antihero cards. Gaining certain cards will affect this throughout the game.
The last step is to get the Story decks ready. You'll separate them into the three Acts and then place out a row of them next to the decks depending on how many players are playing. You'll only reveal the first Act for now, but once someone moves to the second Act you'll reveal them.
You essentially have two options on your turn. But before we talk about those, let's talk about why you do what you do.
This is quite easy. Gaining Traits doesn't require a check or passing a Challenge, you simply take it and place it under your leftmost Character card that doesn't already have three cards tucked under it. These are easy to gain and usually have a small pre-requisite or cost to get them. But they also aren't as powerful as some of the other cards you can gain.
This is a touch more involved. Challenges have a difficulty level listed on them, and they also have traits listed on them, if you have those matching traits then you can use those Runes to try to defeat the Challenge!
You'll gather the Runes you have that match the ones on the Challenge, and you'll take the core Runes (a set of three weaker Runes you can always cast), and then you'll roll/toss them. If the Rune shows a single slash on it, it's worth 1 point, and if it shows the symbol of any of the Traits you've added to the throw, those are worth 2 points. If they're blank then it's worth zero. You'll add up the total that you've rolled, and if it's equal to or more than the power of the Challenge, then you've passed the Challenge and you gain the card.
Keep in mind that some cards have a light path and a dark path, you can choose which path to take, but note that taking the dark path can cause you to slide down on the morality tracker, which could lose you points, and also make it impossible to play hero cards.
Which, is another thing you can do on your turn. Playing Hero cards totally depends on what the card is. Some have costs you have to pay, others can be used during certain times during your turn. And if your Morality tracker is in the Dark area, you can't play a Hero card—only Antihero cards.
Once a player has three cards under a particular character card they can then move onto the next Act (revealing the cards in the row). Once a player has placed three cards on all three of their character cards, each player gets one final turn, and then each player reveals their Destiny card and and scores are tallied. Once scores are tallied, players are encouraged to spin a tale of their character's conquests!
Jeremiah—Call to Adventure is a bit of an outside-the-box type of game. There's certainly engine-building and set collection, but there's a heavy emphasis on storytelling and creating a story arc for your character. The first time we played, AJ wasn't exactly sure how he felt about the game, but then we scored everything and it clicked. You should know that going in. This game is all about experiencing the arc of your character from meager beginnings, to the destiny you're…well, destined to arrive at.
Firestone—I was a bit confused at first, too, and I think that's because I was expecting this to be a middle-weight game, but it's really a lightweight game. My game group played once and was done (we skew toward heavy Euros), but I played a number of times with my kids, and they liked it a lot. I haven't played this with nongamers yet but I believe it would completely work with them—particularly those who love storytelling and fantasy elements.
Jeremiah—The thematic and aesthetics elements of this game are outstanding! I love the artwork on the cards, especially—I can only imagine the small fortune it cost them to commission these works. So. Awesome. Not only that but the Runes are a great component! They have a nice hefty feel to them. The last thing I'll say about this is that the insert is really well done as well, aaaand there is lots of room for expansions in that box!
Firestone—Oh yeah, the artwork in this is just stunning. It's evocative and stylish. It's also very dark and scary in some places, but that goes along with the stories being told. And the Runes are a great touch. We'll all rolled dice, but to think up a new way to do that was a nice touch. And speaking of touch, they also keep the tactile fun that comes with rolling dice.
Jeremiah—The tension really comes in with higher player counts, and this is where it feels like a deck-builder. The cards that you are hoping to add to your character sometimes don't make through to your turn, and sometimes better ones come along.
Firestone—I, on the other hand, didn't feel tension at all; it's my biggest complaint. In all the games I played, I can only think of a couple of times that someone failed on their check. If you're going to have a game about overcoming Challenges, those Challenges should be more…challenging.
Jeremiah—I would say if your group is turned off by story telling, this may not be a perfect fit. However, there is enough going on that even if you were to breeze by the story telling you'll still enjoy the game.
Firestone—And I'm going to say that this game is wholly saved by its storytelling and character-creation aspects. When you get done, each person has a unique and personal story they've created. And in terms of the actual game, that's fine but it doesn't really have any bearing on who won or lost or…well, anything.
So let me tell you where I used this in real life. My son sometimes has to get "extra assignments" from us, when he blows something off, or puts minimal effort into a writing assignment. So we give him our own. After playing Call to Adventure I realized that the next time I had to give him a writing prompt, I'd let Call do it for me. He drew one Origin, one Motivation, and one Destiny card, and he had the genesis of a character, and I had him write a character for that. Another time I added in a couple of random Story cards, and he had to incorporate that. And it worked beautifully. He had a few bones, and he provided the flesh.
And that worked so well that I'm motivated to use this for character creation when I (any day now, really!) begin DMing for my kids. Every RPG player seems to fall back to the standard tragic tale for their character's back-story. But I could TRULY see a DM sitting down with his or her players, having them play this game (or just draw random cards), and then having them create their characters off of what they end up with. It might still have tragedy, but it will be unique tragedy.
And I've even used it for my own fiction writing. I sometimes write the beginning of a short story just to prime the pump for whatever bigger project I'm working on. I've used this to give me a character, and then see what I can do with it. It's expanded my creativity in my own writing, which I NEVER expected from a board game.
Firestone's Final Verdict—If you go into Call to Adventure knowing it's a lightweight game that's best for families or nongamers, you'll enjoy its unique set-collection and engine-building mechanisms. But where this shines is in the possibilities for storytelling, and character creation. I've used it in real life, and I can't wait to see what new ideas it throws my way in the future.
Jeremiah's Final Verdict—Call to Adventure is a nice mid- to lightweight game. The heavy storytelling aspect, and unique engine-building elements, make Call to Adventure a nice game for gamers with a penchant for telling stories!
Theology of Games would like to thank Brotherwise Games for providing review copies of Call to Adventure. This in no way affected our opinions of the game.
Have you played Call to Adventure yet? Tell us your thoughts—and thanks for reading!

Transplantation of choroid plexus epithelial cells into contusion-injured spinal cord of rats
Authors: Kanekiyo, Kenji | Nakano, Norihiko | Noda, Toru | Yamada, Yoshihiro | Suzuki, Yoshihisa | Ohta, Masayoshi | Yokota, Atsushi | Fukushima, Masanori | Ide, Chizuka
Abstract: Purpose: The effect of the transplantation of choroid plexus epithelial cells (CPECs) on locomotor improvement and tissue repair including axonal extension in spinal cord lesions was examined in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: CPECs were cultured from the choroid plexus of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-transgenic rats, and transplanted directly into the contusion-injured spinal cord lesions of rats of the same strain. Locomotor behaviors were evaluated based on BBB scores every week after transplantation until 4 weeks after transplantation. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations were performed at 2 days, and every week until 5 weeks after transplantation. …Results: Locomotor behaviors evaluated by the BBB score were significantly improved in cell-transplanted rats. Numerous axons grew, with occasional interactions with CPECs, through the astrocyte-devoid areas. These axons exhibited structural characteristics of peripheral nerves. GAP-43-positive axons were found at the border of the lesion 2 days after transplantation. Cavity formation was more reduced in cell-transplanted than control spinal cords. CPECs were found within the spinal cord lesion, and sometimes in association with astrocytes at the border of the lesion until 2 weeks after transplantation. Conclusion: The transplantation of CPECs enhanced locomotor improvement and tissue recovery, including axonal regeneration, in rats with SCI. Show more

Neurorestorative effects of epigallocatechin-3-Gallate on cognitive function in a chronic cerebral hypoperfusion rat model
Authors: Han, Jae-Young | Kim, Jung-Kook | Kim, Jae-Hong | Oh, Bong-Seok | Cho, Wan-Ju | Jung, Young Do | Lee, Sam-Gyu
Abstract: Purpose: This study investigated whether (–)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) can enhance cognition by a neurorestorative effect in a rat model of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO). Methods: Forty-eight male, 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to four groups 6 weeks after BCCAO or sham operation: EGCG-single intravenous injection (25 mg/kg/day; SIV group), EGCG-multiple intraperitoneal injection (50 mg/kg/day for 5 days; MIP group), untreated BCCAO group (untreated group), and sham-operated group (sham group). Results: Escape latency was significantly shorter in the SIV and MIP groups than in the untreated group. SIV and MIP groups were significantly different from the …untreated group in the activity of superoxide dismutase and the content of malondialdehyde (p < 0.05). Protein expression level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor was not significantly different between groups (p > 0.05), while protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was significantly lower in the SIV group than in the untreated group (p < 0.05). Protein expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunits NR1 and NR2B was significantly higher in the MIP group than in the untreated group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: EGCG administration at 6 weeks after BCCAO is neurorestorative via an anti-oxidant effect and synaptogenesis, except for angiogenesis. Show more

Day/night difference in extradural cortical stimulation for motor relearning in a subacute stroke rat model
Authors: Kim, Joo Yeon | Sun, Woong | Park, Eunhee | Lee, Jiyeong | Kim, Hyun | Shin, Yong-Il | Kim, Yun-Hee | Chang, Won Hyuk
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the proper timing of extradural cortical stimulation (ECS) on the motor relearning in a rat model of subacute photothrombotic stroke. Methods: Photothrombotic infarction was induced on the dominant sensorimotor cortex in male Sprague-Dawley rats after training in a single-pellet reaching task (SPRT). Rats were randomly divided into three groups after stroke: ECS during the inactive period (Day-ECS group), ECS during the active period (Night-ECS group) and no ECS (Non-stimulated group). Six sham-operated rats were assigned to the control group. The Day- and Night-ECS group received continuous ECS for …12 hours during the day or night for 2 weeks from day 4 after the stroke. Behavioral assessment with SPRT was performed daily. Results: SPRT showed a significantly faster and greater improvement in the Day and Night-ECS groups than in the Non-stimulated group. In the Day- and Night-ECS groups, the success rate of SPRT differed significantly from Non-stimulated group on day 11 and day 8, respectively. In addition, the Night-ECS group showed a significantly higher SPRT success rate than the Day-ECS group from days 10 to 13. Conclusion: ECS during the active period might be more effective for motor relearning in the subacute stroke rat model. Show more

Anatomical and functional effects of lateral cervical hemicontusion in adult rats
Authors: Walker, Chandler L. | Zhang, Yi Ping | Liu, Yucheng | Li, Yiping | Walker, Melissa J. | Liu, Nai-Kui | Shields, Christopher B. | Xu, Xiao-Ming
Abstract: Purpose: Cervical injuries are the most common form of spinal cord injury (SCI), and are often complicated by pathological secondary damage. Therefore, cervical SCI is of great clinical importance for understanding pathology and potential therapies. Here we utilize a weight drop cervical hemi-contusion injury model using a NYU/MASCIS impactor that produced graded anatomical and functional deficits. Methods: Three groups of rats were established: 1) Sham (laminectomy only) (n = 6), 12.5 mm weight drop (n = 10), and 25 mm weight drop (n = 10) SCI groups. Forelimb functional assessments of grooming ability, cereal manipulation, and forepaw adhesive removal were performed weekly …after injury. Using transcranial magnetic motor evoked potentials (tcMMEPs), supraspinal motor stimulations were recorded in both forelimbs and hindlimbs at 5 and 28d post-injury. Lesion volume and myelinated tissue area were assessed through histological analysis. Results: A 12.5 mm weight drop height produced considerable tissue damage compared to Sham animals, while a 25 mm drop induced even greater damage than the 12.5 mm drop (p < 0.05). Forelimb functional assessments showed that increased injury severity and tissue damage was correlated to the degree of forelimb functional deficits. Interestingly, the hindlimbs showed little to no motor function loss. Upon tcMMEP stimulation, surprisingly little motor signal was recorded in the hindlimbs despite outward evidence of hindlimb motor recovery. Conclusions: Our findings highlight a correlation between anatomical damage and functional outcome in a graded cervical hemi-contusion model, and support a loss of descending motor control from supraspinal inputs and intraspinal plasticity that promote spontaneous hindlimb functional recovery in this model.

Post-stroke gaseous hypothermia increases vascular density but not neurogenesis in the ischemic penumbra of aged rats
Authors: Sandu, Raluca Elena | Uzoni, Adriana | Ciobanu, Ovidiu | Moldovan, Mihai | Anghel, Andrei | Radu, Eugen | Coogan, Andrew N. | Popa-Wagner, Aurel
Abstract: Purpose: In aged humans, stroke is a major cause of disability for which no neuroprotective measures are available. In animal studies of focal ischemia, short-term hypothermia often reduces infarct size. Nevertheless, efficient neuroprotection requires long-term, regulated lowering of whole body temperature. Previously, we reported that post-stroke exposure to hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) effectively lowers whole body temperature and confers neuroprotection in aged animals. Methods: In the present study using behavioral tests, MRI, telemetrical EEG, BP and temperature recordings, RT-PCR and immunofluorescence, we assessed infarct size, vascular density, neurogenesis and as well as the expression of genes coding …for proteasomal proteins as well as in post-stroke aged Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to H2 S- induced hypothermia. Results: Two days exposure to mild hypothermia diminishes the expression of several genes involved in protein degradation, thereby leading to better preservation of infarcted tissue. Further, hypothermia increased the density of newly formed blood vessels in the peri-lesional cortex did not enhance neurogenesis in the infarcted area of aged rats. Likewise, there was improved recovery of fine vestibulomotor function and asymmetric sensorimotor deficit. Conclusion: Long-term hypothermia may be a viable clinical approach by simultaneously targeting multiple processes including better tissue preservation, enhanced vascular density and improved behavioral performance.

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor promotes brain repair following traumatic brain injury by recruitment of microglia and increasing neurotrophic factor expression
Authors: Song, Shijie | Kong, Xiaoyuan | Acosta, Sandra | Sava, Vasyl | Borlongan, Cesar | Sanchez-Ramos, Juan
Abstract: Purpose: The overall objective was to elucidate cellular mechanisms by which G-CSF enhances recovery from traumatic brain injury in a hippocampal-dependent learning task. Methods: Chimeric mice were prepared by transplanting bone marrow cells that express green fluorescent protein (GFP+) from a transgenic "green" mice into C57BL/6 mice. Two months later, the animals sustained mild controlled cortical impact (CCI) to the right frontal-parietal cortex, followed by G-CSF (100 μg/kg) treatment for 3 consecutive days. The primary behavioral end-point was performance on the radial arm water maze (RAWM) assessed before and after CCI (days 7 and 14). Secondary endpoints …included a), motor performance on a rotating cylinder (rotarod), b) measurement of microglial and astroglial response, c) hippocampal neurogenesis, and d) measures of neurotrophic factors (BDNF, GDNF) in brain homogenates. Results: G-CSF treatment resulted in significantly better performance on the rotorod at one week, and in the RAWM after one and two weeks. The cellular changes found 2 wks after CCI in the G-CSF group included increased numbers of hippocampal newborn neurons as well as astrocytosis and microgliosis in striatum and frontal cortex on both sides of brain. GFP+ cells that co-labeled with Iba1 (microglial marker) comprised a significant proportion of striatal microglia in G-CSF treated animals, indicating the capacity of G-CSF to increase microglial recruitment to the site of injury. Neurotrophic factors GDNF and BDNF, elaborated by activated microglia and astrocytes, were increased in G-CSF treated mice. Conclusions: G-CSF serves as a neurotrophic factor that increases hippocampal neurogenesis (or enhances survival of new-born neurons), and activates astrocytes and microglia. In turn, these activated glia release a plethora of cytokines and neurotrophic factors that contribute, in a poorly understood cascade, to the brain's repair response. G-CSF also acts directly on bone marrow-derived cells to enhance recruitment of microglia to the site of CCI from circulating monocytes to the site of CCI. Show more

Use of human mesenchymal stem cell treatment to prevent anhedonia in a rat model of traumatic brain injury
Authors: Darkazalli, Ali | Ismail, Abdol Aziz Ould | Abad, Nastaren | Grant, Samuel C. | Levenson, Cathy W.
Abstract: Purpose: Major depression and related mood disorders are the most common long-term outcomes associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Given the potentially debilitating consequences of depression, and the fact that TBI patients are frequently refractory to antidepressant drugs, new therapies are clearly needed. We hypothesized that human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC), delivered intravenously, can effectively treat TBI-induced depression and other behavioral deficits associated with TBI. Methods: Rats (n = 8 per group) were subjected to experimental TBI or control sham operation. Six hours post TBI, rats were treated with 1×106 hMSC or vehicle control. Immediately …after TBI and prior to hMSC or control treatment, rats were subjected to either targeted precision x-ray irradiation to eliminate subventricular zone (SVZ) proliferation or sham irradiation. One week after TBI, SVZ irradiation, and hMSC treatment, rats were evaluated for the depression-like behavior, anhedonia, using the two-bottle saccharin preference paradigm; and for working memory using the novel object recognition test. Results: TBI resulted in a 54% (p ≤0.05) decrease in saccharin preference scores while treatment of TBI with hMSC fully prevented this anhedonic behavior. TBI was also found to produce a 73% (p ≤0.05) decrease in novel object interaction time, indicating impaired working memory, and was similarly improved by treatment with hMSC. The ability of hMSC to prevent TBI-associated depression and working memory impairment was eliminated when SVZ proliferation was inhibited by irradiation. Conclusions: This work has identified a possible role for hMSC in the treatment of TBI-induced depression and other behaviors and suggests a mechanistic role for proliferative cells of the SVZ proliferation in hMSC efficacy.

Abnormal increase of neuronal precursor cells and exacerbated neuroinflammation in the corpus callosum in murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Leung, Joseph Wai-Hin | Lau, Benson Wui-Man | Chan, Vera Sau-Fong | Lau, Chak-Sing | So, Kwok-Fai
Abstract: Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which is characterised by elevated levels of autoantibodies and cytokines in the body. Via alteration of the regulation of inflammation, damage to different organ systems, including the central nervous system (CNS), was found in SLE patients. Patients diagnosed with SLE were reported to suffer from different kinds of psychiatric signs and symptoms. As neurogenesis has been suggested to be a potential key player of psychiatric symptoms and emotional behavior disturbances, this study aims to investigate whether neurogenesis is altered in an animal model of SLE. Also, neuroinflammation was studied. …Methods: Female NZB/W F1 mice were used as an animal model of SLE. Animals were divided into two groups: 1. pre-diseased mice (lupus-prone NZB/W F1 female mice, age 10–15 weeks, negative for proteinuria and with basal levels of serum anti-dsDNA autoantibodies) and 2. diseased mice (NZB/W F1 female mice, > 25 weeks of age, with elevated serum levels of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies and with persistent proteinuria of > 3 mg/ml for more than 2 weeks). Comparisons of the levels of neurogenesis and neuroinflammtion between two groups of mice were studied by the immunohistochemistry. Results: After the onset of SLE symptoms, a reduction of neurogenesis in the hippocampus was found, while there was a dramatic increase of doublecortin (DCX+) neuronal precursor cells in the corpus callosum (CC) and in the subventricular zone (SVZ). Meanwhile, exacerbated inflammation was present in the corpus callosum of the diseased mice, which was suggested by the increased number of GFAP+ cells and IBA-1+ cells. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing an increase of neuronal precursor cells in the corpus callosum of the female NZB/W F1 mice. The present study suggests a coincidence but not a causal relationship between neurogenesis and neuroinflammation. The present results have also provided new insight showing that the altered neurogenesis and neuroinflammation may be a potential neurological mechanism for the cognitive and mood disturbance found in the SLE patients.

Mobile game-based virtual reality rehabilitation program for upper limb dysfunction after ischemic stroke
Authors: Choi, Yoon-Hee | Ku, Jeonghun | Lim, Hyunmi | Kim, Yeo Hyung | Paik, Nam-Jong
Abstract: Background: Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to provide intensive, repetitive, and task-oriented training, and game-based therapy can enhance patients' motivation and enjoyment. Objective: The objective of the present study was to develop a mobile game-based upper extremity VR program for patients who have experienced stroke, and to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the program. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial included 24 patients with ischemic stroke. The intervention group (n = 12) received 30 min of conventional occupational therapy (OT) and 30 min of the mobile upper extremity rehabilitation program using a smartphone and a tablet …PC (MoU-Rehab). The controls (n = 12) received conventional OT alone for 1 h per day. Rehabilitation consisted of 10 sessions of therapy, 5 days per week, for 2 weeks. The outcome measures (Fugl−Meyer Assessment of the upper extremity [FMA-UE], Brunnström stage [B-stage] for the arm and the hand, manual muscle testing [MMT], modified Barthel index [MBI], EuroQol-5 Dimension [EQ-5D], and Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]) were assessed at the beginning and end of treatment, and at 1 month. User satisfaction was evaluated by a questionnaire. Results: A greater improvement in the FMA-UE, B-stage, and MMT was found after treatment with the MoU-Rehab than with conventional therapy. The extent of improvements in the MBI, EQ-5D, and BDI was not significantly different between the two groups. Patients in the experimental group completed the 2-weeks treatment without adverse effects, and they were generally satisfied with MoU-Rehab. Conclusion: This mobile game-based VR rehabilitation program appears to be feasible and effective for promoting upper limb recovery after ischemic stroke. Show more

Dig the Japanese packaging, but Super7's half-assed packaging practices will probably get it dinged in transit.
Going to pick up Buzz Off, Evil Lyn, Stratos and probably the boxed He-Man and Skeletor. On the fence on the Glow in the Dark He-Man tho.
Getting the new ones for sure. Might skip orko in black,I like the Japanese versions for my closed collection. The glow in the dark He-Man. Insta-buy. I have to have that card back.
Any word if bbts will carry these? I ordered the rest of these from them,but don't see these listed yet.
They are indeed. They just listed them a couple minutes ago. All but the the Japanese box figures are up there now.
Boxed figures are now up too.

Q: Workaround for crazy string numeric comparison in Qt QML Here is crazy string to numeric comparison in Qt (LTS 5.6.2) QML JavaScript implementaion:
console.log("240000000000" == "3776798720");
console.log("240000000000" === "3776798720");
console.log("240000000000" === "3776798721");

And the output is:
true
true
false

It looks like string interpreted as (u)int32 and high byte lost:
240000000000 == 0x37E11D6000
3776798720   ==   0xE11D6000

This bug also effects on objects:
var g = {};
var h = "240000000000";
g[h] = h + "BUG";
console.log(JSON.stringify(g, null, 2));
console.log(g["3776798720"], g["240000000000"]);

Output:
qml: {
    "3776798720": "240000000000BUG"
}
qml: 240000000000BUG 240000000000BUG

As you can see the key is damaged. The value can be obtained by two different strings.
Question
Is there any option to get some workaround with this without patching Qt? Or at least the approximate location where can be the problem in Qt to improve yourself?
p.s. Also here is a QTBUG-56830 reported by my coworker.

A: I can't see a workaround, so I've made a fix: apply to qtdeclarative the patch that I've posted here
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/175782
And recompile it.

A: Here's workaround that seems to work
console.log(String("3776798720").localeCompare("240000000000") === 0)
console.log(String("3776798721").localeCompare("240000000000") === 0)
console.log(String("240000000000").localeCompare("240000000000") === 0)

Output:
qml: false
qml: false
qml: true

Or if you have string variable
var str = "3776798720"
console.log(str.localeCompare("240000000000") === 0)

Banana in Africa
Making the agricultural sector attractive to young Africans
Today, agriculture occupies an important place in most African economies: the sector accounts on average for 32% of the GDP of the states in the zone and employs between 50 and 70% of the working population. It is today the most dynamic sector in the world and the growing demand for food should confirm this position. If the African continent continues to import tens of billions of foodstuffs every year, Africa, with accounts for 60% of the world's arable land, could achieve food self-sufficiency and even become a world agricultural power.
Nevertheless, despite exponential population growth on the continent, the average age of farmers is close to 60 years, while the average age of the population in sub-Saharan Africa is 19 years. This ageing of the agricultural workforce is an obstacle to the development of the sector, especially since it increasingly requires the integration of new technologies in order to be sufficiently productive at the global level.
A profession with an aging image
The sector, 80% of which is made up of so-called "family-sized" structures, has long suffered from a productivity lag that has directly contributed to the construction of a negative common vision. Nevertheless, practices are evolving. With the gradual introduction of increasingly modern tools and techniques, the emergence of producer groups and easier access to markets, the sector is now showing a new dynamic. Professions and perspectives are changing, mobilizing new skills and knowledge.
"To make the agriculture cool for the youth"
But how can the new generations be more involved in this momentum when today only 2% of students specialise in this field? "Currently, when a child from the village leaves school with his technical baccalaureate, and his region, department and village offer no prospects for the future, he goes to the capital or emigrates, whereas we need these young people to produce and take over family farms," says Mamadou Cissokho, president of the "Réseau des organisations paysannes et de producteurs de l'Afrique de l'Ouest".
For African Development Bank (BAD) President, Akiwuni Adesina, the objective is clear: "We need to change the workforce in the agricultural sector. Our goal is to make agriculture cool and sexy". The public authorities and the private sector must take up the issue and offer easy access to training, credit and land guarantees in order to rejuvenate the sector.
Cameroon is showing the way on these issues and since 2008 has been developing the Afop programme (Support for the renovation and development of vocational training in the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sectors) based on three axes: the renovation of around 100 agricultural training centers, a service to support young people throughout the deployment of their project and a financial package to subsidise the bank loans needed to start up their activity.
As a bonus, the African continent is increasingly connected: it is estimated that 70% of the African population, carried by the new generations, will have a smartphone by 2025. Creating convergences between these new technologies and the agricultural professions would make it possible, on the one hand, through the provision of effective extension services to support farmers in their daily decision-making, and on the other hand, to modernize the image of the profession.
It is by building on the potential of this new connected African generation in search of new opportunities that the transformation of the African agricultural sector will accelerate. Today, the countries of the region have an average of two training institutions specializing in agricultural sectors. Reorienting public subsidies towards training and convincing the younger generation of the potential of the food sector will help develop a regional skill base capable of meeting the challenges of food demand and create an African agri-food sector with global reach.
Afruibana wishes you a happy new year
