Geographical Distribution of Folk Play Times of Appearance - Work in Progress
Compiled by Peter Millington
Home Page > Map of Times of Appearance

It has been well-known for a long time that times of appearance of British and Irish Quack Doctor plays vary according to region. For instance All Souls is known to be the preferred date in Cheshire, and Plough Monday in the East Midlands. However, I am not aware that anyone has ever tried to plot a national distribution map for times of appearance. This is surprising, given that substantial data has been available since 1967, when the lists in English Ritual Drama [ERD] were published (E.C.Cawte et al, 1967). Instead, maps have been plotted for types of play. The only regional distribution map I am aware of is one plotted by Brian Hayward (1992) for Scottish times of appearance.
The data for this survey is being drawn from a a variety of sources, which are listed in the next section. Information was extracted into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for processing. This had columns for the following fields:
4-figure National Grid map reference
Country or Nation
Time of Appearance
Code Letter
Bibliographic reference for the primary source, where readily available
Some places are listed in more than one source. I have listed all of them, but they only produce one point on the map. For a few places, two sources give different grid references (usually to an adjacent grid square). In these cases, I have checked the location on the Ordnance Survey maps and corrected the grid references accordingly. Otherwise, grid references have been taken on trust.
Code Letters have been assigned to group together related names of appearance - e.g. P = Plough Monday, Ploughboy Night, etc. However, Code Letters were only assigned for the more common times of appearance - i.e. Christmas, New Year, Plough Monday, Easter, Halloween and All Souls. Odd villages here and there have other times of performance that appear to be unique to them - perhaps the local village feast day. These have been excluded from the map, but would be worthy of further investigation in a separate study.
The map itself has been prepared using a method based on 10km National Grid squares, often used in biological surveys. If at least one place within a 10km grid square has the required feature, the whole square is coloured in. This makes it easier to spot general patterns.
A macro was used to plot the map on an Excel grid. A distinctive background colour was set in the relevant geographical cell for each code letter, as indicated in the key - e.g. yellow for C for Christmas. Of course, a given square may feature two or more different times of appearance. Ideally, such a square should be bi-coloured, but this is not possible using Excel. I have therefore used the colour appropriate to the less-common time of appearance (i.e. the colour lowest down the list in the key), and added the code letter for the alternative time of appearance. These letters are more readily discernible in the original spreadsheet. This approach adds visual weight to the non-Christmas dates, while still indicating the alternatives.
Plays where the time of appearance is not explicitly stated, but which have the character Father Christmas have been assigned to Christmas. This applies mainly to records from southern England, especially those from the James Madison Carpenter Collection. To test the validity of this approach, I plotted a special map for just the Christmas and Father Christmas records. This showed that nearly all the Father Christmas records occurred in 10km grid squares that also had records explicitly performed at Christmas. The assumed link between Father Christmas and Christmas performance therefore appears to be valid.
This is an ongoing project. My basic approach has been to start by processing the lists of plays in ERD, and then add records from other sources, especially sources that are already in a digitised format. These are the sources I have used so far:
English Ritual Drama: A Geographical Index (E.C.Cawte et al, 1967) - probably still the key reference guide to information on British and Irish folk drama, although more comprehensive guides have been published for particular counties
Corrections and additions to English Ritual Drama published in three parts by E.C.Cawte in Roomer (1981, 1982 & 1985).
Steve Roud & Paul Smith's (1993) MumBib and MummInd databases.
My own bibliography of Nottinghamshire folk plays and related customs (P.Millington, 1999).
Chas Marshall & Stuart Rankin's The Return of the Blue Stots (2003)
The James Madison Carpenter Collection Online Catalogue (J.C.Bishop, 2003).
The other sources I anticipate adding are given in the following rough list, in no particular order:
Further data from my Nottinghamshire Bibliography
Brian Hayward's Galoshins (1992)
Lists for southern English counties, published by Steve Roud at al (1980-1991)
Eddie Cass's book The Lancashire Pace-Egg Play (2001)
Any other lists that come my way
It has been noted before that the distribution of Quack Doctor plays in the British Isles is uneven (e.g. E.C.Cawte et al, 1967), and this is evident in this map too. It is difficult to say whether areas are blank because the plays were never performed there, or because no one has looked for information there. After all, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Wherever people have made a systematic effort to gather all the available information on the plays of a particular region, the number of known plays has always increased significantly. In Ireland for instance, only a handful of plays were known before the investigations of Alan Gailey. Helm's first checklist (1954) had only 6 plays for the whole of Ireland, but by the time ERD was published (Cawte et al, 1967), this number had grown to over 130 locations, and the concentration of the plays in Ulster and Wexford had become evident. Similarly, Helm's 1954 list had only 8 plays for the whole of Scotland. By 1967 this had grown to a still sparse 35. B.Hayward (1992) increased this number to 105, which only then was sufficient to permit the identification of distribution patterns. Within England too, the number of records for many counties has shown equally impressive growth.
The conclusion I draw from this discussion are that whenever people have looked for evidence in a particular area, they have usually found it. It is therefore not sufficient to state that plays do not occur in a particular area unless it is possible to demonstrate that an assiduous search for evidence has been unsuccessful. Cawte et al may have demonstrated this for Shropshire and Herefordshire (E.C.Cawte et al, 1967, p31). It also seems probable that the voids in northern Scotland, East Anglia, most of Wales and the bulk of southern Ireland are real.
The new map confirms the regional variations that are already known. The red area shows that Pace-Egging at Easter is concentrated in the northwestern counties of England - Lancashire, Cumbria and parts of West Yorkshire. South of that, the blue patch indicates the Souling plays of central Cheshire (actually often performed a few days earlier at Halloween). Scattered blue squares show Halloween performances in Scotland, with purple squares indicating the other Scottish date; New Year. The green patches show the concentration of Plough Monday performances in the English East Midlands and to a lesser extent in Yorkshire. Elsewhere, and very much in the majority, performances took place at Christmas.
Christmas performances occur to a greater or lesser extent throughout the whole geographical range of the plays. To my mind, the other performance dates seem to overlie the Christmas distribution. This suggests that Christmas may have been the original performance date, and the regional variations may have developed later. There is some evidence for this in the East Midlands. The earliest known Plough plays were performed in the 1820s at Christmas (C.R.Baskervill, 1923). It was only later in the 19th century that Plough plays were acted on Plough Monday.
My gut feeling is that the present map is already fairly representative. As data is added from other sources, I think the distribution patterns will be further consolidated, and that nothing new will emerge, although I will keep an open mind. Other interesting distribution maps have been plotted for folk plays, notably for particular characters and/or lines (e.g. P.T.Millington, 2003, and M.J.Preston, 2003). However, a map I would particularly like to see, but for which the data is not readily available is a map showing the distribution of the collective names used for the actors and their activities- i.e. Mummers/Mumming, Guisers/Guising, Plough Jags/Plough Jagging, Pace Eggers/Pace Egging, etc. This is a project for another day.

FARR 40 NATIONALS RACING ABANDONED ON DAY TWO
Published on Saturday 23rd Feb, 2013 in Uncategorized
A gale warning for Sydney closed waters has given Farr 40 crews contesting the John Calvert-Jones Trophy an unplanned layday to make a lunch booking and catch up with friends.
Prudently the ten owners agreed at this morning's meeting to abandon racing on day two of the national three-day series to decide the Aberdeen Asset Management Farr 40 Australian champion.
"The owners gathered this morning for a regular owner's meeting and to consider today's plan," said Farr 40 Australian class president and current series leader, Guido Belgiorno-Nettis (Transfusion). "The PRO advised the forecast was poor with increasing breeze until 2pm so we agreed without question that today's racing would be called off.
"Tomorrow we will extend the last warning signal to 4pm and up to five shorter races may be contested," the one-design class president added.
Today's forecast is for east to south-easterly 25-39 knots winds reaching 30 to 40 knots later in the day.
Current observations at North Head have winds gusting to 35 knots.
Sydney is being buffeted by high winds and rain, heavy at times with potential thunderstorms.
Yesterday's series opening day put the acid test on crews with sail damage, crew overboard and a few sore and sorry sailors at the end of three races. Today's conditions are in another league and opting to remain ashore is a good decision agreed Principal Race Officer Rob Ridley.
Aberdeen Asset Management was due to host a large group of guests on the water. Instead they are out of the extreme weather at the organising club, the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, and being entertained by one of the sport's shining stars, London 470 gold medallist Malcolm Page, who has been explaining the background on the Farr 40 class and sharing Olympic stories.
Tomorrow's forecast is for 15-25 knots out of the north-east. Racing is due to start at 10.30am.
At this morning's owners meeting the schedule for the 2013-14 Farr 40 season was discussed and a timetable of events will be announced shortly.
Day one results here.

Q: Git SSH and https are requesting for two different users When I try to clone with ssh eg:
git@test.company.com:service/test.git
I get a request password for user
git@test.company.com
yet when I try the same thing with the http git
http://test.company.com:service/test.git
I get asked shh certificate userName,
Why is that? And how can I make SSH request my actual user rather than git@test.company.com?
I have tried configuring using git config --global commands to setup my username and password but still no avail.

A: When using gitlab through ssh, you authenticate using a specific ssh key.

*

*on the server side : you need to register your public key (using gitlab's web interface)

*on your machine: you can set it in your .ssh/config file :

Host test.company.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/company-key

A: Summary

*

*When using ssh with Git, configure your ssh subsystem (only, usually).  You may need to use Git-level configuration (git config --global) to select a particular ssh implementation, if your computer has more than one.  The "user" will always be git; you'll need to use some non-Git system (e.g., a web page) to configure the server you're using.

*When using https with Git, configure Git to use your desired credential helper(s) using git config --global, then configure the particular credential helper(s) themselves using whatever means they use.  You'll need both a user name and a password, token, or whatever.
Long
Secure Shell (ssh) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) are two entirely different protocols.  They're generally controlled by entirely different configurations, and used with entirely different programs.
As LeGEC answered, ssh generally uses a per-host configuration entry, found in a file named config in a directory (folder) named .ssh in your home directory, to set options for connecting to that specific host.  Here, you can list a user name and/or specific key-pair.  The protocol itself uses public and private key-pairs to handle authentication, and works as follows:

*

*A public/private key-pair provides means for encrypting and decrypting message texts.  Someone who has the public key portion can encrypt text; someone who has the private key can decrypt such texts; but someone with the public key only cannot decrypt text that they have themselves encrypted.  This math trick relies on "one way" hash functions or products of large primes or other things that may or may not survive a quantum-computing future (see also P vs NP problem and this question).

*Your computer sends an outgoing request to the (or any) ssh service port on the target machine, over an IPv4 or IPv6 network..  When the server responds, it sends a "fingerprint" for that server and a lot of other information about what kind of encryption protocols it supports.  Your host then checks this "fingerprint" to make sure it has reached the correct server.
It is common today to use a "trust on first use" method.  That is, if we've never contacted some particular host server (GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, whatever) before and don't know the correct fingerprint, we just take whatever fingerprint they send, perhaps showing it to the user and asking if it looks OK to the user, and then save that away.  Later, on a subsequent connection to what's ostensibly the same server, ssh will make sure that it is the same fingerprint as last time.  If the wrong fingerprint shows up, your ssh software will reject the attempt to connect, assuming that some Bad Guy has intercepted your attempt to communicate with the real server.

*Assuming all goes well here, your ssh implementation and theirs now negotiate.  Your computer asks to authenticate as a particular user name and, generally, provides the public key part of a public/private key-pair.  The system generally assumes that you have somehow provided this same public key to that host previously (see note below).  However, since anyone could have spied on your public key, it's now their job to verify that you actually possess the private key as well.

*To test whether you have the private key, the server chooses some random data and encrypts it with the public key you sent.  They then send this encrypted data to you.  Using your private key, you decrypt the random data and send it back to the server.  If you send them the correct decryption result, they now believe that you hold both halves of this particular key-pair.  In other words, you seem to have the right to claim to be the user you are claiming to be.
Git hosting servers—GitLab included—set up this process so that when you log in, you usually are forced to present them with the literal string constant git as the user name.  They therefore ignore the user you claim to be in your incoming request at this point.  Instead, they look up the public key that you sent in a big table.  Since you already stored that public key in their system (when you registered it as "this is a public key I will use in the future", however you went about doing that), they now believe that you are the person who registered that particular public key.
This whole process relies on the idea that no two different users ever have the same public key (which is true in practice, as users are told not to share their key-pairs with other users).  Thus, "who you are" is determined solely by the key-pair that gains access.  No other information is required, but you must attempt to "log in" as the user git when using ssh.  You must then supply a key-pair that "works": one where the public key is already registered at the server, and for which you possess the corresponding private key.
HTTPS, by contrast, has a completely different trust model.  Instead of a simple "user name and key-pair" system, this uses what used to be called a "secure socket layer" (SSL) and is now called Transport Layer Security or TLS.
TLS is far more complicated than ssh.  See the Wikipedia page for background.  The precise details of TLS 1.3 (which most systems now require) or 1.2 are beyond the scope of this answer (and I haven't delved into most of it myself), but as you have seen, you must generally provide a user name and password-or-token.  Unlike the simple ssh case, the user name here is not ignored.  You must provide the correct user name in this transaction.
Git does not "do" authentication
The most interesting wrinkle here, in my opinion, is that Git does not actually do any of this authentication.  Instead, Git relies on other software, as follows:

*

*To use ssh and ssh authentication, Git simply runs ssh.  The secure shell provides a streaming data facility, so that once the ssh connection is established, Git can send and receive data.  The ssh program provides all the necessary encryption and decryption, authorization, and security.  This is a clean and simple model and as long as ssh itself is secure, so is the connection.

*To use https, Git generally relies on a system-provided "libcurl" library or equivalent.  Libcurl is associated with the cURL program found on modern computers.  Since the interface itself is complicated, and Git itself is not encryption software, Git relies on credential helpers to obtain the user name and password-or-token portions of the transfer setup.
This is the reason for the two bullet points in the Summary.  Either Git is running ssh and ssh is doing the authentication, or Git is using libcurl and needs authentication information to feed to libcurl.

Trude Maurer (* 17. Juli 1955 in Mainz; † 9. April 2017 in Göttingen) war eine deutsche Historikerin. Ihre Forschungsgebiete waren russische Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte seit dem 18. Jahrhundert, vergleichende Universitätsgeschichte (Deutschland, Russland, Ostmitteleuropa) und die Geschichte der Juden in Deutschland und Osteuropa.

Leben
Trude Maurer wuchs in der Gegend um Mainz in einem protestantischen Elternhaus auf. Sie studierte mit einem Stipendium der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes Geschichte, Russisch und Politische Wissenschaften in Tübingen und 1977–78 auch am Institute of Slavonic and East European Studies in London. 1980 legte sie ihr erstes Staatsexamen ab und forschte im Anschluss bei dem Leiter des Tübinger Instituts für Osteuropäische Geschichte und Landeskunde Dietrich Geyer sechs Jahre zu Ostjuden in Deutschland in den Jahren 1918 bis 1933. In dieser Zeit hatte sie mehrere Forschungsaufenthalte in Israel. 1985 schloss sie ihre Promotion ab.

Im Anschluss war sie sechs Jahre Hochschulassistentin für osteuropäische Geschichte am Lehrstuhl von Manfred Hildermeier in Göttingen. 1995 lege Maurer ihre Habilitation zu Hochschullehrern im Zarenreich vor. Zahlreiche Lehrstuhlvertretungen in Göttingen, Köln, Jena, der Berliner Humboldt-Universität, Gießen und Erlangen folgten. Mitte der 1990er Jahre trübten sich die Karriereaussichten im Fach Osteuropäische Geschichte ein, da dessen Existenzberechtigung bezweifelt wurde. Maurer war schließlich auf Platz 1 des Lehrstuhls für Osteuropäische Geschichte der Universität Frankfurt gesetzt, doch die Berufung blieb ihr verwehrt, als das Land Hessen beschloss, die Lehrstühle für dieses Fach in Marburg und Frankfurt aufzugeben und das Fach auf Gießen zu konzentrieren.  Maurers Forschungsinteressen lagen auf einer Schnittstelle von Fachgebieten, was letztendlich dazu führte, dass sie nie berufen wurde: Für die Osteuropa-Lehrstühle waren ihre Forschungen zu sehr auf jüdische Themen ausgerichtet, für die in den 1990er Jahren gegründeten Zentren und Professuren zur deutsch-jüdischen Geschichte zu osteuropäisch.

Im Jahr 2000 wurde sie in Göttingen zur Außerplanmäßigen Professorin ernannt. Zur Finanzierung dieser Stelle musste sie regelmäßig Forschungsprojekte einwerben und war damit bei der Volkswagenstiftung, der Thyssenstiftung und der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft erfolgreich. Daneben war sie als Research Fellow am Leibniz-Institut für Ost- und Südosteuropaforschung (IOS) in Regensburg tätig. Dazu nahm sie immer wieder Vertretungs- oder Gastprofessuren wahr.

Trude Maurer starb nach Einnahme von Antibiotika unerwartet an Herzversagen. Sie wurde am 9. April 2017 in ihrer Wohnung in Göttingen von der Polizei tot aufgefunden. Das genaue Todesdatum ist nicht bekannt.

Maurer war Vorstandsmitglied sowohl im Verband der Osteuropahistorikerinnen und -historiker als auch von 1994 bis 2006 in der Wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsgemeinschaft des Leo-Baeck-Instituts in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Ab 2005 bis zu ihrem Tod war sie Mitglied des Aufnahmeausschusses der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes und Gutachterin in zahlreichen Stiftungen. Zudem war sie Mitglied der Baltischen Historischen Kommission.

Forschung
Ein Themenschwerpunkt von Trude Maurer waren die Ostjuden und Juden im Deutschen Kaiserreich, in der Weimarer Republik und unter dem Nationalsozialismus, über das sie auch nach ihrer Dissertation fortlaufend auf Deutsch und Englisch publizierte. Sie galt dabei als Expertin für begriffliche Differenzierungen – Ostjuden und Westjuden – und für deutsch-jüdische Beziehungen seit dem ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert.

Ihre fast tausend Seite starke Habilitation ist eine Kollektivbiographie der Hochschullehrer im Zarenreich auf Basis differenzierter Archivstudien. Sie gilt als Pionierarbeit im Hinblick auf Karriere, Selbstverständnis, Berufsethos und politische Einstellungen des russischen Professorenstands, in der überzeugend die Doppeldeutigkeit des russischen Begriffs "intelligencija" dargelegt wurde.

In ihrem nächsten großen Projekt untersuchte sie die In- und Exklusionsmechanismen der Volksgemeinschaft im Hinblick auf die lebensgeschichtliche Situation von Professoren, Studierenden, vor allem weiblichen Studierenden, während des Ersten Weltkriegs. Für den empirischen Kern dieser Arbeit wählte sie die Universitäten in Berlin, Gießen und Straßburg aus. Die Ergebnisse publizierte sie 2015 in zwei Bänden mit dem Titel  "...und wir gehören auch dazu". Universität und Volksgemeinschaft im Ersten Weltkrieg.

Wie bei dieser Studie verband sie auch bei ihrem darauffolgenden Projekt zu den transkulturellen Aspekten des Frauenstudiums ihre beiden Forschungsinteressen – die deutsch-jüdische und die Bildungsgeschichte. Ihr letztes, nicht mehr vollendetes Forschungsvorhaben behandelte weibliche Doktoranden aus Russland an deutschen Universitäten um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert, zumeist jüdische und deutschbaltische Medizinerinnen.

Neben ihren umfangreichen Monographien hat Trude Maurer mehr als fünfzig Aufsätze veröffentlicht.

The Somoya, designed by Roland Stuij and Angie Abbink, is the result of combining the owner's three favourite ships in one design; the bow of a Finnish fishing inspection vessel, the stern of a Dutch maritime tugboat and the elegance of a 1950's passenger vessel from the Swiss lakes.
The main body of the ship runs from intimate bedrooms in the bow to the wide raised kitchen which opens out to the south facing stern. A busy family life, a limited budget and a large practical programme called for a simple, serene and robust design. The floors and steps are made of 80 year old untreated train wagon floor timber and trimmed with black steel. The outer walls are covered with stained timber, a classic for ships. The interior walls are treated in different ways, white varnish, gold or matte black magnetic paint depending on the desired spatial effect.
Along the starboard side of the living area is a long all encompassing inbuilt cupboard which turns from bookcase into workplace into play area into kitchen into general storage. On the port side the kitchen surface work area leads down into the living room where seating, resting, home entertainment, storage for wood and the fireplace are combined in one long element.
A stairwell between the two levels allows light to penetrate deep into the ship's corridor. A simple steel covered staircase leads up to the bridge via the stairwell.
The 45m² bridge also has a separate entrance aft and is a self-contained unit which can be used as an office, a Bed & Boat or a granny flat. The atmosphere here is simple and classic using untreated Guariuba and white lacquered wood for most of the details. Both levels are also connected by the outer stairs on the rear deck making all kinds of combinations and functions possible in the glorious summer months.

The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek
by Franco Montanari
The present volume, produced by Franco Montanari, Professor of Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Genoa (Italy), is based on the third edition of his Vocabolario della Lingua Greca (Torino: Loescher, 2013). In his preface (pp. v–vi) Montanari indicates that the scope of his lexicon is not limited to Classical and Hellenistic usage but includes Greek Judaic-Christian literature up to the sixth century CE. He incorporates papyri and inscriptions in addition to literary material, and many proper names.
A second preface is written by Gregory Nagy, Leonard Muellner, and Madeleine Goh, who oversaw the translation and editing under the auspices of the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC. Here they point out that venerable work of Liddell and Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon (LSJ), originating in 1843, is dated despite its revisions and editions. Moreover, it was based on the 1831 edition of Passow's Handwordbuch der griechischen Sprache, the original of which dates from 1824. Yet even that edition was based on the Griechisch-deutsches Worterbuch of Johann Gottlob Schneider, published in 1798. Thus LSJ is the product of extensive "cross-fertilization" and has not undergone major revision since 1940. In short the Brill Dictionary offers a fresh start with the most recent advances both in terms of accessible sources and lexicographic methodology (notably the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae).
The editors' objective is "an accurate elucidation of each Greek lemma in English, and, accordingly, it is to be emphasized that the lexicon is not a translation of the Italian definitions in and of themselves" (p. vii). This is no small task for the 132,884 words which they seek to render into "as clear and idiomatic modern American English as possible" (p. vii). It boasts the principal parts of 15,006 verbs as well as citations from primary sources in almost every entry.
The prefaces are followed by extensive lists of abbreviations (grammatical terms, glottonyms, authors, works, collections, etc.; pp. viii–lx) before the lexicon proper. Though the layout is very detailed, the editors have included an excellent, color-coded explanatory diagram at the very front of the book where every features is explained clearly. Each entry is followed by a grammatical tag, translation, comment, example in Greek and English translation, followed by primary source references and many other details. For example, the entry on πληρόω (pp. 1683–84) begins with a list of all its principal parts, followed by definitions in the active, middle, and passive voices. Definitions are clearly indicated in bold print, followed by corresponding references to primary sources.
Montanari calls the Italian version GI, the English GE, thankfully avoiding the temptation to abbreviate the Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek as BDAG! Nor would it be appropriate to consider the Brill Dictionary a replacement for BDAG or Lampe's Patristic Greek Lexicon, which focus distinctly on Christian usages. Its rival is rather LSJ, and the preface has made a compelling case for the out-datedness of that volume. Whether the Brill Dictionary does in fact supplant LSJ remains to be seen. The incorporation of the vast swaths of data currently available is certainly a step forward, but one wishes the editors would provide some clarity on their lexicographical methodologies—the means by which they derived meanings from the respective sources. This would be valuable both for the curious scholar looking for a succinct distillation of recent lexicographical theory that lies behind such a project, but also the student looking for a basic roadmap of how to do a word study. But perhaps this is to ask too much of a book already compressed into thin pages and painfully small type font. This is an excellent volume well worth keeping to hand for serious Greek exegesis.

Generating attenuated malaria parasites with genome editing: an author Q+A
Today, Genome Biology published research investigating the success of using zinc-finger nucleases to create attenuated parasites for use in a vaccine. Here, co-authors Friedrich Frischknecht and Mirko Singer answer our questions.
Rafal Marszalek 17 Nov 2015
Mirko Singer
Freddy Frischknecht is a professor at the center for infectious diseases at Heidelberg University. He obtained his PhD for work on how poxviruses move and has been studying the malaria parasite for 15 years, mostly focusing on using advanced imaging technology to find out how they move.
Mirko Singer is a PhD student in the lab of Freddy Frischknecht. His work is focused on sporozoite surface molecules involved in motility and new ways to manipulate the parasite genome.
Can you explain how malaria vaccines work in general?
This year the first malaria vaccine was officially approved for use. However, it's efficiency (in preventing severe disease) is not very high and hence it's large scale use is not yet recommended by the WHO. This vaccine is based on a single protein and blocks the parasite before it enters the liver.
A single escaping parasite however will lead to a full infection. Other protein-based vaccines targeting blood stage antigens are awaiting or undergoing clinical trials. Considering the practically unlimited divergence of the parasites in the field it is thus not surprising that a single protein vaccine does not provide complete protection.
Alternatives to protein-based vaccines are the use of live attenuated parasites as vaccines. These are of course more complex to generate and deliver but can offer full sterile protection, albeit usually only against the very same strain of parasite.
Originally whole mosquitoes with the parasites have been treated with γ-radiation. After this treatment the parasite can still invade the liver, but fails to grow inside. This leads to cellular immune responses and antibodies being produced, which can completely protect from a following infection.
Similar effects can be achieved with the deletion of genes required for liver stage development, but so far, identification of targets that lead to a late arrest (resulting in increased immune responses) and arrest safely has been difficult. Another solution is the administration of untreated parasites and subsequent drug treatment.
What is the Plasmodium life cycle, and where do different vaccines fit into it?
A liver stage parasite
Plasmodium is transmitted by mosquitoes. The parasites are injected into the skin of the host, where they migrate to find and enter into blood vessels.
The parasite then infects the liver, where it multiplies for the first time. This stage can last over one week and there are no symptoms.
The parasites then escape again into the blood where they cause malaria by repeatedly multiplying in red blood cells.
While only one parasite is enough to infect a human (or animal) there can be up to half a kilogram of parasites in the blood of an infected person.
Ultimately the parasites can be taken up by another feeding mosquito to further develop into new infective forms again.
Most drugs, including the Nobel prize winning artemisinin, target the parasite where it causes the disease, in the blood. Similarly, many vaccines are also aimed at preventing the infection in the blood. Yet, the first approved malaria vaccine is based on a protein that is found in the parasites that are transmitted by the mosquito. Antibodies against this protein can stop the parasite migration in the skin.
Current experimental vaccines are targeting three different stages: (i) before parasites enter the liver by blocking motility in the skin and hepatocyte invasion, (ii) parasite growth in the liver by a T-cell based response and (iii) the block of parasite invasion of the red blood cells.
The parasite provides a target for several minutes in the skin, more than a week in the liver but only seconds during red blood cell invasion. This, and the parasite numbers (around 5 – 100) for the first two and up to 1010 for the parasites in the blood let many scientists favor those first two stages.
Another, so far underrepresented, approach is to also stop the parasite after the blood meal in the mosquito. This will be hard to apply though as it does not provide benefit to the immunized individual, but it could severely reduce global transmission.
What is the advantage of using genome editing-based techniques to fight Plasmodium?
Currently, the main use of genome-editing techniques in malaria parasites is still basic research. Just like in other organisms, zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) or CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to subtly change a gene of interest.
For example ZFNs have been exploited to investigate resistance mechanisms against drugs that are currently used to kill the parasite. This is extremely important to be able to follow the emergence and spread of drug resistance, e.g. against artemisinin.
We barely scratched the potential for attenuated parasites so far.
And like in any other organism where these genome-editing tools are used, they can help to understand basic biological mechanisms of these parasites. While this weird biology is often fascinating in its own right, the differences can be used to find new ways of targeting the parasite. It is thus expected that especially the use of CRISPR/Cas9 will help the field to move in larger leaps forward as it speeds up the generation of genetically altered parasites.
We barely scratched the potential for attenuated parasites so far. However, the use of genome editing to generate gain of function modifications is endless and offers many options for the generation of attenuated vaccines.
If an attenuated parasite will be used as a vaccine, it needs to be fully attenuated and completely safe. This is where we think our parasites have the potential to complement gene deletion based approaches to reach full attenuation without compromising immunogenicity.
How do ZFNs work and why have you chosen to use these tools?
ZFNs are specifically designed DNA cutting enzymes that work in pairs. When each partner binds its target DNA sequence in the right distance and orientation to each other they come together and generated a double strand break between the two binding sites.
We designed our approach so that we could make use of a previously established ZFN pair. We postulated that a single induced break in the genome would lead to the loss of the part of the chromosome that is not anymore connected to the centrosome.
We integrated both ZFNs together with their target, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter, into the middle of a parasite chromosome. We used promoters that are only active in the mosquito or liver stage part of the live cycle to drive ZFN expression, which allowed us to study the effect of the DNA double strand break on parasite viability.
In our experimental model we are lucky to have efficient homologous recombination without non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). This basically eliminates the need of nucleases to integrate DNA into a specific site (as long as it does not have to be marker free). This is exactly why we thought of other uses for ZFNs, and there the lack of NHEJ came in very handy.
To be able to efficiently use these tools to fight malaria, what do we have to do?
There will be at least two important aspects. One is the societal acceptance of genetically altered organisms, the other aspect are technological obstacles. Both are clearly formidable multi-step challenges.
Technologically, we need to be able to generate parasites that arrest to 100% at the desired point in their life cycle. For our approach this would be at the liver stage. At this stage most research is done in rodent model systems, so we would first have to translate these findings to human malaria parasites.
We will need to be able to store parasites that will be used for vaccination. Then we need to be able to inject those parasites intramuscularly as most vaccines are delivered.
There are five species of malaria parasites infecting humans of which two are a major public health threat but only one parasite species (P. falciparum) can be cultured.
Further we will need to be able to store parasites that will be used for vaccination. Then we need to be able to inject those parasites intramuscularly as most vaccines are delivered. Ideally also full protection would be achieved after a single vaccination.
Currently scientists use frozen parasites from irradiated mosquitoes that need to be injected intravenously at least five times before protection works. And this protection is likely specific only to the very same strain, while there are potentially unlimited numbers of different strains infecting people.
In your study you found that ZFNs are not 100% efficient. Can you explain how the parasites managed to escape the ZFN-based attack?
After optimization, ZFNs were 100% effective in cutting the Plasmodium genome. However we found that timing of their expression was extremely important to get a developmental arrest of the parasites. If we expressed the ZFNs too late, some parasites could escape the liver without any genetic modification and initiate a blood stage infection.
If we expressed the ZFNs too early, the parasites were too sick to efficiently infect the liver. This is in a sense the equivalent of irradiating parasites too much or too little. We finally managed to express the ZFNs 'just right' but this indeed led in rare cases to an unexpected repair of the DNA break.
The parasites, to our surprise, could use micro-homologies in the DNA on both sides of the break to repair their chromosome and to survive, which led to full development and disease. Even though this occurred only rarely, the large numbers of parasites required for immunization would often lead to an infection.
We thus have to combine our strategy of generating ZFN-based deletions with other gene deletion strategies to improve safety. We explain how this could be done in the discussion of the paper. We also highlight that it will be important to look not only at vaccine safety but also at efficacy. Despite much hype and hope we believe it is still rather early days for attenuate malaria vaccines.

The Foretelling: The Bad Murray Blood.
I've mentioned often the Murray bad temperament that seemed to weave in and out among generations. How a kind and Christian father in this family gene pool could have a temperamental, and unscrupulous, even cruel son.
Old Ben Murray of Tyson Community in Southern Stanly County, was recorded as being one of the latter. His son Edmond, known as by both surnames of Murray and Coley, was one of the former. As was, presumably his son Jesse II, named for Ben's father, Jesse I. But in the grandsons the Murray fury raged.
Alexander, son of Edmond, was known for his anger and hostile temperament, while his brothers John and Ben, not so much. The same could be said for Jesse II's son Benjamin P. Murray, while the youngest son John M. Murray, born during that deathly Murray trip to Arkansas that old Ben took his family on, was without doubt a manifest of the bad blood gene.
He had been born at th onset of the Civil War in Arkansas and had returned to Stanly County,NC with his grandmother by 1867. Arkansas had taken his Grandfather, Ben Murray Sr., his parents, Jesse Murray II and mother Jenny Poplin Murray, his uncle by marriage, Henry Hudson and cousins, James Washington "Wash" Turner and Wesley Murray. Wash and Wesley actually had remained in Arkansas and passed away after Martha's return. Old Ben's widow, Martha "Patsy" Ross Murray had returned with her widowed daughter Rebecca Murray Hudson and Becky's daughter Mary Elizabeth Hudson, who like John was born in Arkansas. She brought back John and his two siblings, Mary Ann Murray and Benjamin P. Murray, who were born in Stanly County before the trip. They were afterwards raised by their mother's people, the Poplins.
The story of John Monroe Murray is an interesting one to tell, and this post will be followed by more of that.
The following article tells a bit of his caustic and cruel personality, that led to his ultimate fate.
The Farmer and Mechanic
(Raleigh, North Carolina)23 Jan 1884, Wed • Page 3
This article, from 1884, tells the story of John Murray, from whose swagger and attitude wholy tells us that he was most likely a good-lookin and arrogant young man. His behavior from start to finish reminds me of that of a narcissist. He had promised to marry this young lady and all of the arrangements had been made. Then he never showed up.
Instead, it was learned that he had taken up with a Union county girl and had taken off to South Carolina the night before to be married, "without license" the article noted. The article doesn't name the jilted girl, it only states that she was from White Store, a community near the North Carolina - South Carolina border in the Southwestern most corner of the county.

John Murray 17
In the 1870 census, John and his older sister are living in Stanly County with his maternal grandmother and uncle, while his brother, Ben, is living with another uncle. In 1880, he is in Anson County, age 17 and working for a man named Asbury Bailey. It may have been one of Baily's daughters that was the jilted bride. We don't know. But what we do know is that in 1884, he married Willie Henrietta Horne, daughter of William Bennett Horne, who died a year after her birth in the Civil War, and Mary Adeline Green Horne, who remarried to William James Thomas. And from all indications, she grew up in Anson County.
J. M. Murray and Henrietta had 4 children between 1885 and 1890 and he remained in Wadesboro and learned the ins and outs of being a businessman from L. J. Huntley. From 1893 to 1900, he made several purchases of property. Some on Carr Mount Road near the silk mill, and the intersection with the Salisbury - Cheraw Road, and others on Rutherford Street.
Below is another story of how the bad attitude and mean mouth of John Monroe Murray nearly got him killed.
The Messenger and Intelligencer
(Wadesboro, North Carolina)20 Oct 1898, Thu • Page 3
That could have been the end of J. M. Murray, but his time was not up...not yet. Murray came away with a broken arm and Robinson came away with jail time, but that bad Murray blood kept J. M. from learning a thing. He would, in time, meet his match in the form of a 14 year old boy.

New Statesman: Why is the Handmaid's Tale claimed as feminist, when it's deeply ambivalent about the movement?
If you mean an ideological tract in which all women are angels and/or so victimized they are incapable of moral choice, no. If you mean a novel in which women are human beings — with all the variety of character and behavior that implies — and are also interesting and important, and what happens to them is crucial to the theme, structure and plot of the book, then yes.
On the face of it, this seems a reasonable answer. It all depends on what one means by "feminist". And yet, I can't help thinking: if that's the case, are those really our only two options?
Do we have to choose between a feminism which accords women no moral agency and one which merely tells that women are people, too? Certainly if it's the latter, then Atwood is right that "many books are 'feminist'". The trouble is, I'm not sure such a definition gets us very far.

OK, this may not be a "coffeehouse observation," since I made it in a Trader Joe's, but it works. I was in the Stockton Trader Joe's in the Lincoln Square Shopping Center when I was just minding my own business and I started to smell something absolutely wonderful. For a split second I could not place the smell. And then I did. I was standing next to the Trader Joe's coffee grinder. I was giddy.
Someone must have been a little distracted earlier. The put the coffee beans in the maker – without grinding them. Oops! The coffee came out and little, um, thin.


I'm pretty thrilled to tell you that I am blogging again. Thanks for waiting me out while I did some non-blogging writing. I needed the time. And I needed the time to freshen up, get inspired, re-connect to the reason I wanted to write here at all. Also, thanks for your emails and comments asking where the hell I went and what the hell was wrong with me. It was nice to be considered.
So, please join me at www.kim-foster.com. It's more writing, less food, but it's where I am right now.
I just watched the episode where you test drove some cars. VERY disappointed to see you didn't bother to drive even one vehicle made by a U.S. manufacturer. Was there a reason for this such as a sponsor, or was it just a gross oversite on your part? Your show airs in the United States, you should try showing things made in this country.
I am going to be checking out your previous comments after looking through your newer blog. I like your writing style, you are vividly descriptive and I am a big fan of your perspective already. Thank you so much for returning to your writing..
