Microbiomes: Our humble overlords
Microbes drive almost every food chain on Earth, using just about anything for energy and interacting with one another in countless ways. But how on Earth do they work?
EMBL-EBI's Metagenomics data service offers tens of thousands of analysed genomes and tools for studying data from environmental samples. ILLUSTRATION: Spencer Phillips, EMBL-EBI
In the seas, in the soil, on our skin, in our gut – even in sewage treatment plants – microbes play pivotal roles in health and disease. To decipher how they work and how they influence each other, their hosts and the environment, scientists throughout the world are sharing and comparing vast amounts of information, all supported by EMBL-EBI.
A microbiome is an ecosystem of microbes: bacteria, viruses and other creatures invisible to the naked eye. Microbes are masters of their environment, growing everywhere from icy permafrost to boiling deep-sea vents, and influencing more of the living world than you might imagine.
Microbes are the great nitrogen fixers in our soil – in fact, with the right balance of them you can reduce the need for fertiliser to grow crops. They play a crucial role in our digestive systems – as anyone who has suffered an upset stomach after taking antibiotics knows from personal experience. They rule the seven seas, too – the microbiota in our oceans play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide, helping to sustain a healthy atmosphere.
Every one of us depends on these ecosystems to stay alive, so we have a lot to gain from understanding how they work, fall apart and recover. For example, if you spray detergent to clean up an oil spill, you might break up the oil nicely but the detergent will stick around in the environment, potentially affecting marine life forms – effectively, you would be solving one problem only to create another.
Alternatively, you could use the right combination of microbes to remove that oil by breaking it down into harmless compounds like sugar. That would make it much easier to restore the microenvironment to its original state.
But how do you do that?
The microbiome challenge
The tricky thing is that most microbes are very difficult to study outside the context of their communities. This means scientists can't grow the microbes in a Petri dish and analyse them in isolation. Instead, they must study the whole environment, looking at all the genetic material in a sample and trying to tease out what organisms it came from.
Describing microbiomes in detail – making a community directory – is really difficult, as the individuals aren't easy to pinpoint.
So how do you find out who's who, what they're eating, and how they function? How can you pin down a beneficial chain of events in a given microbiome, such that you can manipulate it – returning it to health after the chain has been interrupted – or turn it to some new use, like sewage treatment or biofuel production?
If we know what makes a microbiome function, we can figure out how to keep it healthy, or fix it when it's disrupted.
Humans are pretty good at sequencing DNA these days – everything from whole genomes of people and plants to pathogens lurking in a hospital environment, identified on-the-fly.
But DNA sequences are pretty meaningless unless you can compare them to a reference. That can tell you whether it's a known sequence (which is pretty important) and, if so, what it is and what's special about it. Then again, you might discover that a sequence is novel, because there is no reference in the public archive.
So far, so good. But what if you want to sequence a spoonful of soil, a bucket of seawater, a stool sample, a scraping of skin, a little patch of the forest floor – each of which has millions of microbes and an untold number of DNA sequences? You'll end up with a huge amount of new information, all of which you want to compare to a reference archive at once.
Does that even work?
Genomes within genomes
Yes, it does work. Studying the DNA sequences of a whole environmental sample, whether it's from the sea or your skin, is called 'metagenomics' – literally, the study of genomes within genomes.
"You can take a mixture of microbes from an environment and use computational approaches to identify what's in there, skipping the part where you separate out and culture individual viruses and bacteria," explains Guy Cochrane, who runs the European Nucleotide Archive – a major source of reference sequences and, as part of the International Nucleotide Sequencing Consortium (INSDC), the engine driving much of genomics research today. "Collecting, sequencing and comparing samples is something scientists are pretty good at, so we can provide a strong start towards understanding what these communities are doing biochemically," he adds.
"With environmental samples, you have to sequence so much stuff!" says Rob Finn, who runs EMBL-EBI's Metagenomics data service, which contains tens of thousands of analysed datasets representing genetic material from environmental samples.
"Comparing the sequences found in one microbiome might be the equivalent to analysing a few thousand human genomes – that is simply a staggering amount of information. Our Metagenomics service helps people discover what is actually in their samples, and classify things that are being described for the first time."
"You can compare the DNA in a sample of contaminated soil to a clean sample from roughly the same place, or healthy gut to a diseased one, look for the differences and make some reasonable assumptions about what those genes are doing," adds Finn. "We need to look beyond that, so we can start to see what makes one microbiome thrive and another languish. If we can manipulate these environments, we can start to solve some serious problems."
Trending bugs
Anticipating disease outbreaks is an incredibly important application for metagenomics. The COMPARE project, an international pathogen-surveillance network, uses genome sequencing technology and rapid data sharing to speed up the detection of infectious disease outbreaks.
COMPARE is working to set up monitoring of sewage treatment plants in cities throughout the world, looking at which bacteria are circulating in a population, and what infectious diseases may be brewing.
"In COMPARE, our colleagues are using advanced methods, including some developed in Rob's team, sharing data as it is generated and using our cloud compute for some of the analyses. So they don't have to worry about the infrastructure – they can get on with figuring out how these things are moving from place to place and evolving," says Cochrane.
The microbiome as an organ
Microbiome research, like cancer research, is very, very broad and endlessly complex. It's a poster child for 'interdisciplinary research', demanding expertise in many areas of science.
"Studying the microbiome covers so many different areas that it brings together a hugely diverse community," says Finn. "The people involved in international microbiome projects bring a lot of different knowledge to the table: microbiology, ecology, genetics, metabolomics, clinical research, healthcare, ecology, biodiversity… They're specialists, bioinformaticians, citizen scientists, participants at all levels, and they need the right tools to get on with their part of the work."
It is endlessly fascinating – and useful – to see how life processes are connected and influence one another.
The human microbiome can be considered akin to the brain or another organ. After all, our bodies contain a substantial number of both parasites (the agents of disease) and symbionts (providing essential functions). At EMBL, several research groups are collaborating to understand the human microbiome and its role in our lives.
"Microbiomes are the focus of intense research at EMBL," says Peer Bork, whose research group explores how the environment in the human gut influences how a person responds to a drug. "My group has been exploring microbial functions in the gut since 2004, and thanks to the Tara Oceans expeditions, we've also had the opportunity to compare these communities inside humans with those on the surface of the sea. It is endlessly fascinating – and useful – to see how life processes are connected and influence one another."
Tara Oceans: marine microbiomes
The importance of plankton in maintaining the Earth's climate cannot be understated – their communities absorb a staggering volume of CO2 from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange. Yet only a small fraction of these life forms have been classified and analysed.
To address this gap, EMBL scientists initiated and led the Tara Oceans expeditions: an unprecedented effort that resulted in 35,000 samples of seawater, each of which contained millions of small organisms. The samples, studied using advanced microscopy from EMBL, were sequenced at Genoscope in France, generating over 7000 datasets. Teams of researchers all over the world delved into this richly described collection, bringing to light 40 million novel genes and a raft of discoveries about life in the world's oceans.
Where can you find Tara Oceans data, and other marine datasets? At EMBL-EBI, of course.
"We've worked with sequencing experts at Genoscope in France, our research colleagues at EMBL Heidelberg, data providers at Pangaea in Germany and many, many others to make Tara Oceans data available to everyone," says Cochrane. "This was an extensive sampling programme that was well organised from the start, so we have rich information about their chemistry and environmental context. That makes these datasets incredibly valuable over the very long term, because people can use them over and over again, in new ways, well into the future."
Comparing Tara Oceans, Ocean Sampling Day and Malaspina marine datasets has already provided insights into the profound differences between the microbiomes of deep, shallow and coastal marine waters.
Big, smart data
Genome technology is advancing so quickly that it can be difficult to keep pace. EMBL-EBI teams work with researchers, data providers, technology companies and even biotech start-ups to make sure the right machinery is in place to keep science moving.
"Our goal is building knowledge, not just gathering data," says Paul Kersey, who leads the Ensembl Genomes project at EMBL-EBI. "If you want to understand something as complex as a microbiome, you've got to have the best possible data on every level, and provide intelligent ways to cross-link and query them. It only works if you can present new information in the context of what is already known.
"This is precisely what the Ensembl Genomes service does. We bring together all the knowledge gained about the genomes of microbial life forms – linking historically well-studied species with those only recently discovered."
Our job is to normalise the data […] and connect it all up so that people can slice across it in interesting ways.
"It's all very exciting, and scientists are easily tempted to jump in and gather data very quickly, using the latest kit, and upload it into an archive as an afterthought," says Cochrane.
"Our job is to normalise the data – no matter what technology was used – and connect it all up so that people can slice across it in interesting ways. That's how you get researchers finding novel genes that influence diseases like Crohn's, or discovering cold-loving enzymes that can take the place of detergents," adds Finn.
Microbiome research is very new, and changing rapidly as new technologies and approaches widen the range of questions we can address. At EMBL-EBI, the Finn team is collaborating with a company called BioCatalysts, using metagenomics to discover novel enzymes that could have industrial applications. Discovering these enzymes using a data-driven approach rather than carrying out chemical synthesis experiments would curb the generation of chemical waste.
Want to know more about life in the seas? On 21 June, every year, the Micro B3 project invites sailors, skippers and anyone working in marine research to participate in Ocean Sampling Day (OSD), a simultaneous sampling campaign of the world's oceans, from the subtropical waters around Hawaii to the rather brisk rapids of the Fram Strait in the Arctic. By taking samples at the same time every year, the hundreds of scientists taking part in OSD are describing microbial diversity and function, which at present is very poorly understood, and identifying trends over time. Not working on a boat or in marine science? The OSD Citizen Science campaign welcomes everyone to collect marine microbes and environmental data to help scientists piece together a better understanding of the world's oceans.
Want to know more about the human gut microbiome? The my.microbes project (initiated by EMBL scientists), the British Gut Project and the American Gut project all welcome citizen scientists to provide samples and information about diet and lifestyle. These projects, taken together, will help map the gut microbes of human populations throughout the world, building an understanding of how lifestyle choices and diet influence our microbiomes, and therefore our health.

Does my company need a corporate uniform? Well of course it does! No matter what industry or size of business you are involved with there are many advantages to wearing a corporate uniform. These advantages will be felt by management, staff and customers.
Consider the below key points and then ask yourself would your business benefit from a uniform. The answer will probably be a resounding yes.
A good strong first impression is essential to gaining new customers, what every business must do to succeed. The best first impression is to be professional by speaking clearly, using eye contact and by maintaining a professional look with proper attire. A well thought out work uniform that reinforces your brand strategy and where you sit in the marketplace is crucial. This is what will set your company apart from competitors in your market space.
Following from the initial first impression a branded uniform instils a sense of trust and credibility in the company and its abilities. Customers perceive employees who wear branded workwear take greater pride in their work and are therefore more capable of providing better products and services. Think about your experiences as a customer, have you been more likely to trust the advice of a professionally uniformed staff member assisting you? Surely if the company providing the service has taken the time to implement uniforms it also takes the time to train and develop its staff.
Employees work more professionally with when wearing branded work attire. It's a psychological effect of wearing custom branded uniforms which make your employees feel they are the face of your business. This ultimately builds up trust in the relationship between your business and your customers.
A work uniform is basically a walking advertisement for your business. Every person employees walk past outside of the company will see the uniform, company logo and company name. This helps to build brand awareness and company exposure.
A key advantage in a company uniform is the staff morale and comradery. When people wear the same type of work clothing they feel they are part of a team. It instils a sense of belonging and pride in the job and company. Uniforms level the playing field and no matter where you sit in the chain of command you feel valued and a greater sense of team spirit.
Today everyone's lives seem so much more hectic than with previous generations. We look to simplify areas of our life so we can fit more in! A branded uniform is one such way to do so.
Where there is no uniform, management must implement a dress code, which means time spent on deciding what it is and enforcing it. For the staff, it means time spent shopping for an appropriate workwear wardrobe. A uniform means all team members know exactly what they are wearing each day and don't waste time working out what to put on each morning.
A branded uniform can also be a claimable tax deduction* if the uniform is a set of clothing that identifies your staff as employees of your business. If it is compulsory for them to wear the work uniform whilst at work then it is therefore considered a work-related expense so the cost of such a uniform is usually deductible.
For all your uniform needs trust Devon Clothing. Feel free to contact us for further information.
Devon Clothing design and manufacture men's and women's work uniforms from simple embroidered polo shirts through to complete corporate uniforms.

Q: How can I filter array items by object arrays in ReactJS? I'm creating an application in React ES6, where I need to filter a list of products by category and type. I have a list of test product data as follows:
const ProductData = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: 'Product 1',
    categories: ['Cat 1', 'Cat 2'],
    types: ['Type 1', 'Type 3']
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Product 2',
    categories: ['Cat 2', 'Cat 3'],
    types: ['Type 1', 'Type 2']
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    name: 'Product 3',
    categories: ['Cat 1', 'Cat 3'],
    types: ['Type 2', 'Type 3']
  },
];

I need to filter the data by categories and type, using preset variables i.e. Cat 1 and Type 2.
I have the following code however I'm aware it's not functioning correctly as the categories and types are arrays within the objects.
const category = 'Cat 1';
const type = 'Type 2';

// need to filter here by both the category and the type
var results=_.filter(ProductData,function(item){
  return item.types.indexOf({type})>-1;
});

How can I change this so it functions as requires? Any help would be much appreciated.

A: update this logic
var results = ProductData.filter(item => {
  return item.categories.includes(category) && item.types.includes(type)
})

A: Use includes()

The includes() method determines whether an array includes a certain value among its entries, returning true or false as appropriate.

const result = ProductData.filter(
  x => x.categories.includes(category) && x.types.includes(type)
);

const ProductData = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: "Product 1",
    categories: ["Cat 1", "Cat 2"],
    types: ["Type 1", "Type 3"]
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: "Product 2",
    categories: ["Cat 2", "Cat 3"],
    types: ["Type 1", "Type 2"]
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    name: "Product 3",
    categories: ["Cat 1", "Cat 3"],
    types: ["Type 2", "Type 3"]
  }
];
const category = "Cat 1";
const type = "Type 2";

const result = ProductData.filter(x => x.categories.includes(category) && x.types.includes(type));

console.log(result);

A: You can use the .filter() and .includes methods :
const productData = {...}
const category = 'Cat 1'
const type = 'Type 2'

const results = productData.filter(el => el.categories.includes(category) && el. types.includes(type))

A: This should work as expected.
const results = ProductData.filter(item => item.categories.includes('Cat 1') && item.types.includes('Type 2'))

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis has been categorised as a neurological disorder by the World Health Organisation (at ICD-10 G93.3) since 1969.
M.E. Support-Norfolk (the initials in our name stand for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) has adopted the 'Canadian Guidelines' definition of M.E. (downloadable at https://tinyurl.com/ycron6x3).
The group has been in existence for nearly thirty years now, having originally begun as a local branch of one of the national M.E. charities and since 2000, when our current name was adopted, has been an independent support group. (Members pay an annual subscription but we do rely on donations to keep afloat.) We have our own library of books, DVDs and audiobooks for members to borrow. Most of these are naturally M.E.-related, but some are purely for enjoyment! Members also receive our monthly newsletter MEMO.
M.E. Support-Norfolk, in line with the World Health Organisation, recognises Myalgic Encephalomyelitis as a neurological disease. We are therefore interested in biomedical research and treatments and do not seek to promote 'biopsychosocial', psychological or psychiatric approaches to dealing with M.E.
The WHO does not have a classification for 'myalgic encephalopathy' and we do not promote this name as an alternative for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
We do not accept 'chronic fatigue syndrome' as being another name for M.E., nor do we agree that M.E. is an illness 'characterised by fatigue'. While we recognise that any severe long term illness can induce fatigue as well as anxiety, despair or even depression in patients, in line with the experience of hundreds, if not thousands, of patients we do not accept that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or graded exercise therapy (GET) – or equivalent 'treatments' under other names – actually address the illness itself.

I don't have any of the original posts or quotes that went with this, but this has been bouncing around my brain and my Facebook for a while now, and I CANNOT LET IT GO UNDEFENDED. I CAN'T.
So one of my friends on Facebook said (or shared someone who said, I can't remember) that instead of focusing on "creepy Professor Sneep" and his "borderline obsession with another man's wife" we should be remembering James Potter's devotion to his son and family–replacing "Always" with "Until the very end," which to my memory is what James says to Harry just before the final showdown with Voldy.
OKAY LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW WHY I'M IN ALL CAPS NOW.
Wheeeeee there is no faster way to make me angry and rage-filled than by insulting or demeaning Severus Snape. As one of the most complex and brilliant characters I've seen in a very long time in fiction, I am perpetually fascinated by how he's slowly revealed, and the manner in which we see his past controlling his present. So let's recap Severus' life.
He went to school, a half-blood child from a less than stellar family, and is Sorted into the house where–for better or worse–pure blood is the best and only way to go. He fights his way into being the best he can, finding a particular penchant for potions, so much so that he begins to make notes in his textbook where he has found ways to improve upon the norm. One of his few friends from beyond Hogwarts is a girl who's willing to look beyond the baseline, someone he met at home: muggle-born Lily Evans. She befriends him when no one else will.
He's not a handsome young man, with a sallow complexion and limp black hair with a proclivity for looking greasy. He's not terribly popular. So what happens to unattractive unpopular people? They get picked on by the popular ones. Enter James Potter and his crew, Gryffindor elite. James is everything Severus is not: handsome, popular, talented at sports, and…in the same house as Lily. With Slytherin not known for its love of Muggle-born wizards and witches, and her budding friendship and romance with James lurking at the edges, Lily and Severus have their friendship strains to the breaking point–and past, halfway through their schooling. He joins the Death Eaters, angry at James and his ilk.
Of course, we all know that at the beginning of the first Wizarding War, Snape changes sides and joins the Order of the Phoenix in order to be a double agent. Few trusted him, probably for logical reasons, but he did all in his power to keep Voldemort blind from his duplicity, as well as helping to protect those he cared for. The failure to do such with Lily, despite all the protection believed to be on the Potters and their home, was the final breaking point and Severus devoted himself back to the light, inasmuch as any double agent in fear of murder can.
When Harry appears, looking all the world like his father, it's no surprise that Severus isn't going to take well to the boy. But, as we are all reminded over and over again, the boy has Lily's eyes. And for that, and out of his remaining love for his mother, Severus protects Harry unto the very end, sacrificing his life for Harry as well–perhaps an interesting parallel back to Lily. Severus will always remember his one friend, the one who believed in him when no one else would, the one who he couldn't save. His Patronus is a doe, and yes, after all this time, he will "always" love her. She's been one of the few to ever convince him he could be loved as well.
AND YET WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE JAMES OVER THAT. James, snotty arrogant git in school, troublemaker and instigator extraordinaire, whose saving grace is that as he got older, he stood on the side of the light and produced the child who would be marked as the Dark Lord's equal. Like really, I'm being honest here. Tell me what James Potter did to make himself better aside from being Harry's father. He had a happy life, which led to him being a happy child with little to ever challenge him in that. Life was easy for James, and he coasted through it with all the joie de vivre that offers. A prophecy comes, his son is a potential target, and he dies valiantly saving–or rather, trying to save–his family. Yes, he stays with Harry "until the very end," along with Lily and Sirius and…Remus? I think? Yay for him.
One man was fortunate and well-off and well-loved, and did as expected for his entire life. One man was given nothing, fought for everything, and scraped together what little he could to redeem what little he could. Gave all he could give and took what little he felt he deserved, and died protecting the one remaining element of the only friend he truly ever had.
I'm sorry. I cannot believe that somehow James Potter is a better man and a better role-model than Severus Snape. Do I think Snape is perfect? Absolutely not. He makes all kinds of awful decisions and deals with his problems in all kinds of awful ways. But he learns, and he tries, and sometimes he fails but other times succeeds.
Where do we see that with James?

Ski Property for sale in Tignes, Espace Killy, France.
Property for sale in Tignes is highly sought after because it is a high altitude ski resort in the French Alps close to the Italian border and is part of the Espace Killy ski area linked by a network of lifts. As Tignes is a high altitude ski resort it guarantees snowy slopes early at the beginning of the ski season, this makes it very lucrative for investors who wish to rent their properties out, they are much more attractive to book as there is less chance of being disappointed with no snow or very little snow.
It is in the Tarentaise Valley, Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France and it is made up of five villages, Val Claret, Tignes le Lac, Le Lavachet, Tignes Les Boisses and Tignes-Les-Brévières, close by is the popular resort of Val d'Isère. The resorts of Tignes and Val d'Isère ski area, offering over 300km of pistes for all levels of skiers and is served by 78 lifts. The ski resorts are however very different; Tignes with its five villages has varying altitudes and was purpose built, whilst Val d'Isère is traditional and charming with its 17th-century church amongst its attractions making properties in Tignes desirable.
Tignes offers some of the best lift-accessed slopes in Europe as it is set on a picturesque mountain plateau. At 2,100m Val Claret is the easiest village to access the glacier and both Val Claret and Tignes Le Lac are the ideal villages to stay in if you want to be in the hub of restaurants, shops and bars, property in Tignes is on everyone's wish list. Le Lavachet is a quieter village and at a slightly less altitude is linked to the lifts by a ski bus. At 1,800m further down the mountain, we find the village of Tignes Les Boisses otherwise known as Tignes 1,800 and at 1,550m is Tignes Les Brévières. These areas are well linked to the ski area with their own lifts, shops and restaurants but are a little secluded from the main hub higher up the mountain. Tignes property is a great investment and with Chambéry airport being only one hour and 40 minutes and Geneva is two hours and 45 minutes away it's a great base.
Ski Chalets and apartments for sale in Tignes, France.
After you have chosen to buy Tignes property for sale you need to consider what type of property you want. Is it an apartment or something more traditional such as a chalet? You will find both are well laid out and it goes without saying that the chalet will be more luxurious and offer a larger layout. That is generally why investors take the plunge and buy their own ski property as it gives privacy, more space and freedom of movement. If you plan to rent your property out whilst you're not using it you can expect healthy rental returns. Holidaymakers choose to rent an apartment or villa rather than stay in a hotel that is good news for owners of Tignes properties. A great time to visit Tignes is during the festive season, Christmas and New Year holidays at the ski resorts are very popular and absolutely ideal for families with children and adults and let's be honest who doesn't want to play in the snow and build a snowman or have fun with snowball fights? The ski resorts have extra activities going on at this time of year centred on the Christmas holidays and the villages are adorned with decorations and twinkling lights that add to the Christmas and New Year atmosphere. Santa can often be seen and the children especially will adore this time of year it's the perfect setting for an idyllic Christmas.

Nadhim Zahawi: How we can do more to support care leavers at university
Nadhim Zahawi is the Member of Parliament for Stratford-upon-Avon. Follow Nadhim on Twitter.
The last week was by any account a heavy news agenda, further details on Jimmy Saville, the threat to Ash Trees and Hurricane Sandy were contrasted with the more positive news of positive growth figures.
With the news agenda so full, it's perhaps no surprise that a decision by the Secretary of State into a planning appeal in Stratford Upon Avon gained little attention. Yet it's a decision that has national significance and one that will see 800 houses and a new road built on land adjacent to Anne Hathaway's cottage. For those that don't know Anne Hathaway's cottage is the property where Shakespeare courted his wife and that now holds his famous "second best bed" and is a central part of the Shakespeare story, which is of course in turn an integral part of this country's heritage and cultural legacy to the world.
The background to this is important. In 1998 the West Midlands regional planning guidance was published which required Stratford District Council's locally developed plan to be reviewed and updated. In 2005 this plan went through a public review where a Planning Inspector told the Council that even though they had chosen not to include it, the site in Shottery had to be used for future housing development. Despite their reservations the Labour Government's centralised approach to planning at the time meant that Councillors had no choice but to place this sensitive area in the Local Plan and mark it for eventual development.
Fast forward to 2010 and the coalition came to power pledging to abolish Regional Spatial Strategies and restore people's faith in local control. Unsurprisingly, Councillors in Conservative controlled Stratford embraced these localism powers and began drawing up a new local plan, one that included locally determined housing numbers and removed the sensitive Shottery site from the picture.
Of course, abolishing Regional Spatial Strategies turned out to be a little tougher than expected and, after the Secretary of State's decision was overturned in court, the Localism Bill was used to finally abolish them.
Except that isn't quite true. The Localism Bill stopped further work from occurring on Regional Spatial strategies but EU directive 2001/42/EC meant that Parliament was unable to legislate for their abolition. Instead it could only legislate for the Secretary of State to be able to "by order revoke the whole or any part of a regional strategy". The EU directive meant that each individual RSS had to be subject to an up to date environmental impact assessment before they could be abolished. Unbelievably, it turns out that, thanks to the European Union, Parliament is unable to legislate to abolish them directly.
To date these assessments have been published for only four RSSs, the West Midlands RSS is not among them. Why's this important? Because on Thursday the Secretary of State made a planning appeal decision that was based mainly on the fact that the site in question was included in the Council's local plan. A local plan remember that was drawn up because of the Regional Spatial Strategy, and of course we're talking about a Regional Spatial Strategy that has yet to be revoked so still has planning weight.
That's the policy background for how this travesty of a decision has happened, but at the heart of this is what we really mean when we talk about Localism.
I would be the first to agree that Stratford doesn't have a core strategy in place and that it needs to resolve that as soon as possible to ensure they're not open to bad decisions made as a result of out of date policy.
What they do have though is a direction of travel; a clear plan for what they, as the locally elected members want to achieve and to an extent where they do and do not want to see it. All of this is in a draft document that sets out the Council's locally determined target for 8,000 new homes and has already been through a consultation process, in fact Officers expect it to be ready for examination next month. On top of this Stratford town itself has developed a very sophisticated neighbourhood planning process that has involved significant consultation and expects to deliver a draft by the end of the year. This is not a Council that is fighting for no new homes, it recognises the need for growth, but just wants it in the right place.
Yet this is not enough for the mighty Civil Servant tasked with making recommendations for the Secretary of State to sign-off. He declared in the report that accompanied a decision made last week that "With submission not until November it [the core strategy] remains at an early stage" and "I consider that relatively little weight can be attached to the emerging Core Strategy and the neighbourhood plan at this stage." That locally developed plan, let alone the opposition from residents and councillors effectively meant nothing.
For more than 3 years the Conservative Party has championed Localism as returning power from the centre. I have stood in village hall after village hall and proudly proclaimed that decisions will no longer be taken by a faceless bureaucrat in Whitehall with no accountability to local people. My constituents have heard me say again and again that the closer a decision maker is to those the decision affects the better the decision will be. The fact that they can stop a Councillor or their local MP in the supermarket or on the street means that we're likely to really stop and think before we make a decision.
Yet this decision in Shottery is exactly the kind we've been rallying against. It's a decision taken by a Civil Servant at the centre, who will never have to live with the consequences, that has been rubber stamped by a Minister who has never even visited the area. In short it's a decision that drives a coach and horses through the Localism agenda.
I know I'm not the only Member of Parliament to have been let down by Localism in action. Across the country many councils are trying to do the right thing yet finding that the decisions they take are being reversed. But if we truly believe in Localism then we have to trust our Councillors to make the right decisions and accept that sometimes these may not be the ones Whitehall wishes them to make. That's the nature of devolving power down, that's what we signed up to when we put Localism front and centre.
I'm a big believer in the idea that human beings are quick learners. If one area makes decisions that are very beneficial then other areas will quickly level up and make the same kinds of decisions. The challenge for government is to trust that rather than reaching for the levers of control at the first sign of something that doesn't quite chime with the grand plan.

Old fashion name: Forwarder Ponsse.
Heavy – productive harvester and forwarders designed for large-scale logging operations.

ND/NF 2018 will present twenty-seven programs over twelve days (March 28 through April 8). In this first entry, we'll have a look at what the critics have to say about the films screening from today through Sunday. As always, check back for updates.
One more note before we get started. Throughout the festival, I'll be pointing to entries at Critics Round Up. James Kang has announced that he'll no longer be updating the site, which for five years has been an outstanding guide to hand-picked reviews of new releases, classics, and overlooked films worthy of rediscovery. James Kang stuck to the critics he admired, and he had a keen eye for a quote that'd reveal the crux of a critic's argument. I'll miss CRU, but I'm grateful to have the archive, which I hope to be dipping into regularly for years to come.
And right off the top, here's the entry at Critics Round Up.
M.I.A. is generally uncompromising, uniquely combining dogged political intentionality and an aesthetic informed by absorbing different cultures' sensibilities and making a self-determination that art might as well be borderless. All that, along with a natural facility with pop music that very few iconoclasts can claim, and a certain form of techno-paranoia that turned out to be prescient, make M.I.A.'s body of work as enthralling and vital as that of any contemporary artist. That she's struggled to explicate the various impulses that inform that work to those who've had difficulty wrapping their heads around her biography, and that she's often defaulted to provocation as a coping mechanism, seem to be themes that Loveridge is grappling with as he works to narrativize and contextualize M.I.A.'s life and career.
"Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. draws from over 700 hours of footage M.I.A. personally recorded at different stages of her career to offer an intimate pre- and-post-stardom bio-doc that feels just as magnetic as the artist it brings and dissects on screen," writes Leonardo Goi at the Film Stage.
Devika Girish interviews Loveridge for Film Comment.
Update, 3/30: "Befitting the incompleteness suggested by its title, Metev's film is a beguiling experiment in isolation and negative space, an attempt to find the 'infinite' in absence," writes Lawrence Garcia at In Review Online.
Update, 4/1: "Despite potentially being lulled by the languid pacing and extensive, meditative walking of 3/4, there's an excellent short within Ilian Metev's feature," writes Danielle Burgos at Screen Slate.
Updates, 3/30: "For a feature whose budget only allowed a mere eighteen shooting days, the way Foroughi designs and composes her shots is spell-binding," writes Leonardo Goi at the Film Stage.
I put together an entry when Winter Brothers premiered in Locarno, and here's the collection at Critics Round Up.
Update, 4/4: "Even when Winter Brothers strikes recognizable chords—echoes of David Lynch and the Coen Brothers are tough to miss—the director's distinct worldview keep the beats fresh and engaging, giving the impression that only Pálmason and his collaborators could have brought this story to the screen," writes Bradley Warren at the Playlist.
Here's a first round from Sundance.
"The most commercial movie playing in the festival's first week, this tight, showy thriller gives it a much welcome blast of genre filmmaking," writes Manohla Dargis.
"There's an observational authenticity that is refreshing in an audiovisual culture whose attempts at self-analysis are too often skewed by melodrama," wrote Lee Marshall for Screen.
Update: "Guided by a wonderfully ambulatory storytelling impulse, Until the Birds Return traverses the country from north to south, offering a lateral survey of its landscapes as well as its diverse social classes," writes Devika Girish in the Notebook.
The program: Arash Nassiri's City of Tales, Yassmina Karajah's Rupture, Sebastián Pinzón Silva's Palenque, Farnoosh Samadi's Gaze (Negah), and Sarah Friedland's Home Exercises.
First, that's an image from the film at the top of this page. And second, of course: Critics Round Up.
Scary Mother is a "dreamlike take on the unraveling housewife trope, more Yellow Wallpaper than Jeanne Dielman," suggests Jeva Lange.
"With her terrific star, Nato Murvanidze, the Georgian director Ana Urushadze opens up one woman's life with dark laughter, great feeling and truth," adds Manohla Dargis.
Update, 3/31: "Mindia Esadze's cinematography paints in rich reds, a creepily Lynchian womb-like cradle that stands in contrast with the drab looks of suburban Tiblisi," writes Leonardo Goi at the Film Stage.
Makala won the Grand Prix at last year's Critics' Week Awards in Cannes, and here's the entry at Critics Round Up.
Update, 4/1: "Towards the end of Makala, a church service with parishioners loudly praying to make a living invokes Job, but the entire documentary is Sisyphean testament," writes Danielle Burgos.
"A two-time Locarno International Film Festival prize-winner and 2017 AFI Fest selection, Massadien's second feature after the well-reviewed Nana needs little dialogue, thanks to lush cinematography," writes Jenna Marotta at IndieWire.
Update, 3/30: Massadian has "found a rich middle ground between placing herself at a remove, so as to comment on the circumstances of her subjects, and attempting to render their experience wholly immersive," finds Alex Engquist at In Review Online.

Jack TX Landlord Lawyer
Home/Jack TX Landlord Lawyer
Jack TX Landlord LawyerMarc Girling2020-12-28T07:39:01+00:00
As a property owner, there are a variety of issues that may arise. To protect your interests, it is vital that you hire an experienced an attorney who can provide trustworthy advice. At Girling Law, our Jack TX landlord lawyer is well-equipped to provide you with legal advice on matters concerning property ownership.
Drafting a Well-Written Lease
A lease agreement is a legally binding document that defines rights, terms, and conditions of the parties. Even though Texas law allows for parties to enter into a lease verbally, we strongly recommend that you obtain a written lease agreement. If your lease agreement is in writing, it is less likely that there will be misunderstandings. Accordingly, we advise that you avoid verbal agreements where possible.
What to Include in a Lease Agreement
An experienced Jack TX landlord lawyer can assist you in writing a lease that advances your rights a landlord. A lease agreement will often address the following issues:
Cost of rent
When rent is due
Identities of the parties
Terms of the lease
Requirements for a security and pet deposit
Consequences for breaching the agreement
Basis for eviction
Terms applied to holdover tenants
Legal duties and rights of the parties
Procedure for terminating the lease
Ability to assign rights or sublet the property
Property maintenance requirements
Do Landlords Have the Right to Enter Leased Property?
Under Texas property laws, tenants' right to privacy is highly protected. Accordingly, when a tenant begins his or her lease, your ability to enter the property becomes considerably limited. Although the law does not dictate the amount of notice you must give a tenant before entering the property, we recommend that you provide the tenant with at least twenty-four hours notice.
The lease agreement, however, can outline specific situations where you can legally enter the property as a landlord. For example, the agreement may allow you to come onto the property to make necessary repairs. A Jack TX landlord lawyer can assist you in drafting a lease agreement that provides you with significant access to your property without running afoul of the law.
At Girling Law, we strongly suggest that you do not enter the property unless expressly permitted by the terms of the lease. Many adverse consequences may stem from unlawfully entering the property, including but not limited to civil liability. Moreover, if you unlawfully enter the property, you may be providing the tenant with a legitimate justification for terminating their lease.
Under Texas law, landlords have the right to determine the amount of a security deposit as well as where that money is kept. Nevertheless, a landlord must return their tenant's security deposit within thirty-days after the lease expires.
Under limited circumstances, however, a landlord can withdraw funds from the security deposit. For example, a landlord may withdraw funds to cover any unpaid rent or any significant repairs. If you need to withdraw funds from the tenant's security deposit, we strongly advise that you maintain detail records.
If a landlord purposefully refuses to return a tenant's security deposit, the tenant has the right to sue the landlord for up to three times the value of the deposit, in addition to any attorney's fees and costs. A Jack TX landlord attorney can represent you should these claims arise.
Property Damages and Repairs
While it depends on the contents of the lease agreement, a landlord is generally responsible for making necessary repairs to the property. If a landlord fails to fulfill this obligation, the tenant is allowed to make the repairs and subtract any related costs from their rent. If you find yourself in a dispute with a tenant concerning repairs, our Jack TX landlord attorney can help you avoid or limit any liability.
Evicting a Tenant
As a landlord, you have the right to evict your tenant if they:
Refuse to pay rent
Conduct themselves in a manner prohibited by the lease
Commit acts of public indecency
Become a holdover tenant
Before you can evict a tenant, the landlord must serve them with a Notice to Vacate that addresses the following issues:
Contact information for the tenant
Justification for the eviction notice
Date that the tenant is required to vacate or date that unpaid rent is due
A statement explaining that the landlord may take legal action to evict the tenant
A description of how service was made
Where a landlord is attempting to evict a tenant for unpaid rent, he or she must provide the tenant a minimum of three days before taking any action, unless the lease states otherwise. Our Jack TX landlord lawyer understand these rules and procedures, and help can you abide by the law.
Representing Your Interests in Court
As a property owner, you may become involved in litigation. At Girling Law, we are ready to aggressively defend your interests in court.

What a sendoff! The teachers, administrators, support staff, and students kicked it into high gear as they sent me on my way to Alaska. To begin the day, I saw all staff in T-Shirts with my picture on it. It was overwhelming.
At the end of the school day there was a Pep Rally, aka, The Iditarod Games. To start the games, they all surprised me by singing Hobo Jim's "The Iditarod Trail Song". 600 voices singing the trail song . . . awesome. Next came the games. Each grade level developed a game and chose students to participate. They were simple, quick, and a lot of fun. View the video to see what we did and how it was done. Try this at your school to ignite your student's enthusiasm for the 2013 race.
The school year up to this point has been preparing me – and my students – for the day I would leave for Alaska as the 2013 Iditarod Teacher on the Trail. With the help of a wonderful class and fantastic staff, I'm ready. Signing off from Wisconsin – next stop, Anchorage!

Guest Comment: The IP evolution of live sports production, by Streamstar CEO Rado Toth
Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - 12:14
Streaming solutions in the palm of your hand: Streamstar's WEBCAST CASE in use at the South Stream Handball League in Osijek, Croatia
We are living in exciting times for sports broadcasting, with new technology able to reach a wider fan base and offer coverage of a greater variety of sports than ever before, writes Streamstar CEO Rado Toth. There's increasing demand for multi-camera live productions of the highest quality from both club owners and fans alike, while support for lesser-known sporting events is experiencing unprecedented attention.
At the same time, TV as we know it is becoming more computer-based, offering more user interaction via touchscreen tablets and mobile phones, either as a replacement for, or alongside traditional TV viewing. With such second screens growing in both size and demand, there has never been a better opportunity for sports broadcasters and rights' holders to produce compelling live streaming content for multi-screens. Therefore, keeping in mind ever-tightening production budgets, it is vital for broadcasters to implement recording and streaming systems that are both cost-effective and proficient to deliver a seamless workflow, while still retaining quality across every level of sports programming.
Much of the upscaling of demand in the sports market has been driven by an increase in the use of IP-based broadcast contribution and distribution systems, which offer end-to-end file-based workflows that make it easy to provide streaming coverage to a variety of web devices. Content can be accessed anywhere and at any time there is an internet connection. Systems like these offer a disruptive change for sports broadcasting, yet also an opportunity to new media companies.
The standard for multi-camera live sport productions remains the OB truck route to transmission, with the signal pushed to an encoder and web streams for online delivery. However, the use of such infrastructure raises many issues, not the least being that the substantial levels of technically-skilled personnel to support it can only be commanded with access to larger budgets. In contrast, Streamstar's WEBCAST family of live production solutions, ranging from affordable hardware that runs on an ordinary PC to dedicated workstations with touchscreens, enable anyone to easily produce and stream professional multi-camera video productions.
Just the act of sending a SNG truck or flypacks to multiple locations across the globe – to cover a home team on an international tournament, for example – requires substantial investment. As well as the cost of organising satellite uplinks, there are extra considerations to take into account, such as permits, security, parking and crew accommodation, as well as finding a suitable location with clear lines of sight for microwave links and satellites. Robust communications also have to be put in place for directing the action from the production control hub or MCR. Then there are health and safety concerns, such as long cable runs for the multi-camera setup. These extra considerations, as well as unforeseen local engineering issues, can put unsustainable pressures on a tightly-budgeted production and that's even before the signal is encoded and distributed online.
IP cost benefits
If broadcasters instead choose to go down a purely IP-based route, with cameras able to upload streaming footage directly to the internet, they can instantly wipe out many of these associated 'on-location' costs. Video streams from IP-connected cameras based anywhere in the world can be sent via the internet back to the MCR at broadcaster HQ, which allows for a far more flexible and cost-effective localised setup. Integrated communications systems over IP also ensure that onsite camera control remains in the hands of the offsite production team, no matter where they are located in the world. Our systems, for example, can accept four unique simultaneous IP video stream inputs, as well as additional HD-SDI cameras and HDMI/DVI inputs for stills, graphics and external feeds such as score generators. The system itself switches the camera inputs as required; it also offers automated preset modes such as crossfades and transitions, as well as applying downstream key graphics such as lower thirds overlays and logos. With systems like this, you have production control in a box, able to be sited anywhere with an internet connection.
Similarly, expensive onsite instant replay and slow-motion systems are no longer the preserve of the major satellite sports broadcasters with a team of dedicated operators; IP-based systems like ours can automatically create such functionality using the streams from each camera, quickly and easily applied to the WEBCAST by one operator. Content providers should be able to further monetise such content by adding unobtrusive commercial overlays and logos within replays and other elements of their streaming production, to generate additional revenue through onscreen advertising.
When it comes to output for streaming, a system based on video over IP is already ahead of the game. Our systems go one step further, offering on-board H.264 encoding and a multitude of streaming profiles for popular CDNs, so that broadcasters are able to use the highest quality HD streaming content instantly in a live program, at up to 1080p @ 50/60fps and data rate of up to 10 Mbps.
Another key issue facing today's global coverage of sports is the time difference. Advertisers want broadcasts to take place at prime time with maximum viewer capture, which is not always possible when the sporting contest is taking place halfway across the world. With stream recording and integrated media management, today's IP-based systems are able to schedule playlists of edited material for broadcast at any time; it's also very easy to stream highlights from recorded replays during a sports event break and pre-recorded interviews to enhance a live webcast.
All of this can be done at a fraction of the cost of traditional OB broadcasting, allowing for any size of sports fixture, in almost any location, to be broadcast online. One of Streamstar's high profile customers, Huste.tv, is the biggest online sports portal in Slovakia, which is owned by one of the country's largest TV stations. It has 12 production teams with a high-end logistics process covering several major leagues in central Eastern Europe. We collaborated with the team and designed, equipped and built the entire infrastructure system, which has helped produce over 5,000 live events for the portal over the last three years.
I'm not saying live streaming will totally replace traditional sports broadcasting; rather I foresee there will be greater segregation of the broadcast market. We are confident of an increasing demand for streaming technology, changing the way productions are transferred and offering endless possibilities for multi-camera productions broadcast to an IP network.

Scotch Broom, Irish Broom/Tops, Broomtops, Besom, Scoparium, Basam, Bizzom, Browme, Brum, Breeam
Native to Europe, broom is commonly found on heaths, along roadsides, and in open woodlands. It is naturalized in many temperate regions, including North America, Africa, Canary Islands, Chile, and Japan. In the US, Australia, and New Zealand, it has overrun large areas of land once used for recreation and farming. The plant is a tall deciduous shrub, growing to a height of six feet, with narrow ridged stems, small trefoil leaves and bright yellow flowers in leafy terminal spikes. The leaves and pods are mildly toxic to farm animals if ingested in large amounts. The flowering tops are used by herbalists for medicinal purposes and are gathered from spring to autumn.
Both the common and species names indicate its usefulness as a sweeper ("scopa" means broom in Latin).
Its medicinal value is not mentioned in classical writings, but it does appear in medieval herbals. The 12th century Physicians of Myddfai recommended broom as a means of treating suppressed urine.
Broom was adopted at a very early period as the badge of Brittany, and has a long and colourful history. Geoffrey of Anjou was said to have thrust it into his helmet before going into battle so his troops could see him.
Henry II of England adapted broom's medieval name (Planta genista) as his family name Plantagenet).
The shrub was seen on the great seal of Richard I, and adorns the Westminster Abbey tombstone of Richard II.
Its medicinal uses were listed in the Pharmacopoeia, published in London in 1618 and in the US version until 1978. It was withdrawn by the FDA for its potentially dangerous side effects, which are no worse than many of the approved drugs. Some of these side effects include the following: vomiting, diarrhea, impaired vision, and profuse sweating.
Broom tops have been pickled and used as a condiment similar to capers.

How much alcohol a person drinks, genetic factors, gender, body mass, and general state of health all influence how a person's health responds to chronic heavy drinking.
In your battle against alcoholism, health concerns seem to mount that make overcoming alcoholism more urgent. The opponent is tough and may bring about a life of misery both mentally and physically.
It could be useful to look at the dangers that accompany this addiction. It can bring about problems with nutrition, a type of arthritis, heart disease as well as liver and kidney disease, and a host of other ills that you would be better off not having and can avoid if you can decrease significantly or eliminate altogether your alcohol consumption.
What Illnesses Are Caused by Alcohol?
Gouty arthritis can be caused by alcoholism. Gouty arthritis is a very painful rheumatic disease. It will leave deposits of spiny and needle-like crystals of uric acid.
Fetal alcohol syndrome can have long-term negative effects on mental and physical growth, physical ailments and possible deformities, and developmental delays.
There are cardiovascular issues to be concerned about as there is a risk of heart disease and certain kinds of strokes. There is also the risk of high blood pressure that comes with alcohol abuse.
Alcohol abuse plays with your blood sugar levels in harmful ways causing it to go up and down. Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia are common in alcoholics as well as diabetes.
Kidney disease is another risk. This will cause the kidneys to be enlarged and alters proper hormone function. The disease can also bring about kidney failure.
Liver disease is a concern as it can cause alcoholic hepatitis or alcoholic cirrhosis. Alcoholic hepatitis is the less serious and can be treated while cirrhosis is irreversible and may require a liver transplant.
There is a numbness and tingling that can be caused by alcoholism called neuropathy. Neuropathy can be painful and is associated with nerve damage.
The threat of dementia is real and can be brought about by several things associated with alcoholism.
Obesity is also a major concern which brings about a much broader range of health threats and concerns.
There are also mental health concerns that you must worry about. Alcoholism can bring about depression, anxiety and insomnia.
Nutrition can be effected by too much drink. It can promote overeating at times and under-eating at others. It is easily abused and takes up needed space in stomachs.
The problem with this is that it can cause malnutrition. Your body tends to believe that it has met it's daily caloric needs and gives you a feeling of being full.
The bad thing about this is that your body then has to go without the proper nutrients it needs and your body suffers.
While you may have already had a significant amount of damage done to your body, you are still better off trying to break your addiction. There are many of these which can be made less severe and are reversible once you have stopped drinking.
There are others, though that have life long repercussions. Be sure that it is not too late. There are always benefits to being able to stop and those benefits will always outweigh any perceived positives.
Hopefully you will research further the health problems that come with alcoholism and use them as weapons in your fighting alcoholism.

STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State catcher Jared Womack went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBIs to lead the Cowboys to an 11-1 triumph over Kansas, sending the Jayhawks to their third-straight defeat Saturday afternoon at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
The Jayhawks fall to 12-18 overall and 2-6 in conference play, while the Cowboys improve to 16-14 and 4-5 league play.
Junior Kevin Kuntz drove in KU's only run of the game with a two-out RBI single to left field in the seventh inning. Senior Zac Elgie recorded his fifth multi-hit game of the season with a pair of singles.
Starting pitcher Wes Benjamin was wild, but effective through five innings, allowing just one run on three hits with five walks. However, he allowed three unearned runs in the sixth, which ended his day.
Oklahoma State got on the board in the third inning as a walk and a single set up Mark Ginther's RBI double off the left field wall. Freshman Michael Suiter collected KU's 10th outfield assist of the season, throwing out Robbie Rea at the plate.
The Cowboys broke things open in the sixth. After an error, a fielder's choice and another error loaded the bases with nobody out, first baseman Wes Jones doubled off the wall in left field to drive in two runs. A fielder's choice and an RBI single by Womack gave the home team a 5-0 lead.
OSU sent 10 men to the plate in the seventh and scored six runs, highlighted by Womack's bases clearing double to win going away.
Kansas will look to salvage the final game of the three-game series Sunday at 1 p.m. in Stillwater, Okla.

5 Major trends shaping how and where we eat
by Veronica Fossa
on June 8th, 2016
Now that the Future of Food & Beverages Crowdstorm is well over halfway we are excited to present the third and last instalment of our series in which we garner the trends, characters, materials, settings, and methods that shape our way of consuming and purchasing food. Read the previous edition of "5 Major Trends Shaping What We Eat" here.
Here is how the four major trends plus a new one are shaping where and how we eat. Join us to explore these trends and product hunt around the world, exploring new restaurant concepts, contemporary juicing culture, and novel ways of eating and drinking. Buon appetito!
BUY LOCAL, GROW LOCAL
Stedsans Copenhagen Rooftop
Opened in early summer 2015, Stedsans ØsterGro is a restaurant placed in the greenhouse of Scandinavia's first rooftop farm, ØsterGRO, not far from the center of Copenhagen.
Stenson's ("a sense of place" in Danish) has a menu of 5 or 6 courses served "family style" – on big plates and trays – to be shared among the guests, all seated at one long table. The menu changes every week and is made with the freshest, finest ingredients available from biodynamic and organic farms in the region. The food is "clean, simple and local" – mainly based on plants and free of artificial ingredients. The restaurant makes sustainability a priority, also including a bee farm, chicken coop, and a self-built wooden kitchen.
'AH! THE GOOD OLD TIMES!'
The Bunyadi
Image from www.prisma.de
The Bunyadi, London's first naked restaurant created by Lollipop will open this month in central London. For the next three months, it will offer a liberating new Pangea-like dining experience without the hassles of modern and industrialized life. With an extreme attention to detail, the restaurant plans to use only the most natural ingredients in a setup free from phones, electric lights and clothes (not mandatory). Hence, guests will dine in a space partitioned into two sections – pure and clothed – furnished in wood-hewn and decorated with bamboo and wicker, where food will be served by candlelight. Expect wood-flame grilled vegan and non-vegan meals served on handmade clay crockery and edible cutlery. If you didn't manage to reserve a seat, you can still get on the waiting list. Be aware you have 39,540 people queuing before you!
TECH FOOD
No Salt Restaurant
Opened this spring in Tokyo, a two-day pop-up No Salt Restaurant was created to give people with high blood pressure – who risk heart problems and strokes – the chance to taste salty foods avoiding negative effects on their health. Based on an idea by a Japanese researcher at Tokyo University, the restaurant was the testing venue for her invention: The Electro Fork, a fork that can make food saltier by tricking the tongue to taste sodium. When the fork containing, two electrodes, makes contact with your tongue, and the food a weak electrical current is formed releasing a sense of saltiness once the current is gone. The restaurant offered a full five-course menu all prepared without the use of salt, to prove that this technological marvel could make healthier food taste good. Electronic signals can also be used to enhance sourness and food texture. Bad news for dessert lovers though: sadly sweetness has proven difficult to reproduce!
The SmartSlab
Created by design firm Kram/Weisshaar, the ceramic table that premiered at Milan Design Week is believed to finally provide interesting alternatives to how a restaurant operates by adding the design element to gastronomy. With a ceramic tile tabletop and legs of carbon fiber, it is a unique product because it includes heating and cooling options, which function by just tapping and swiping the surface. These features allow to heat and cool different elements at once, so meals can be kept at the perfect temperature while drinks remain ice cold. The table can accommodate touch-control panels, wireless charging modules and WiFi stations allowing for extreme flexibility and functionality.
HEALTHONISM
Juicero
Juicero is a countertop machine that delivers superior juice from poaches of fresh-picked produce with no prep or cleanup required. Founded with the goal of creating a market cult, Juicero claims to be the optimal home juicing experience, syncing with home WiFi and smart phone and with an app describing ingredients and procedures. Each bag has clever features, such as a breathing hole to help the ingredients stay fresh and a QR code, which is necessary for the juicer to work. The QR code also has safety benefits: if a pouch of food may have gone bad, the scanned QR code will alert the Juicero, and the machine won't press the juice.

ZodiacPress uses GeoNames webservices to get birth place latitude/longitude coordinates and the timezone ID. Every time the ZodiacPress form is filled out and submitted, it accesses the GeoNames geographical database through its webservices.
GeoNames imposes a limit to how many times it can be accessed. They measure usage by "credits." Free GeoNames accounts are limited to 30,000 credits per day, per username. They are also limited to 2,000 credits per hour, per username.
So, with GeoNames limits, that means that the form will work a maximum of 2,000 times per hour, and a maximum of 30,000 times per day.
Tip: If you're using ZodiacPress on more than one site, use a different GeoNames username for each site. That allows you the maximum credits per each site rather than making you share credits across sites.
This limit is okay for many websites, but if your website gets more traffic than that, you will need to purchase credits for GeoNames Premium Webservices.
GeoNames allows you to purchase credits for GeoNames Premium Webservices so that your form can handle more traffic. This also comes with added benefits which you can see on their page.
