Chemists and engineers think of a "refinery" as an adjustable conversion of petroleum to many usable commodities. This approach results in a process and business that responds to changing market conditions by "tuning" its output production to suit the market.
This same concept can be applied to renewable biomass conversion processes. Biomass can be converted to usable products through biochemical and thermochemical processes. Through these processes, products like transportation fuels and industrial chemicals, fine chemicals, bio-polymers, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals, other oils and gases may be manufactured.
What is the "Carbohydrate Economy?
One hundred years ago most of our fuels, construction materials, clothes, inks, paints, and even synthetic fibers and chemicals were made from plant matter. Then petroleum flooded the economy and a new industrial era began. By the 1980s less than 5 percent of our industrial products and fuels came from biological materials.
However, new technologies, new laws, and increasingly environmentally aware public are ushering in a new materials base for the 21st century; plant matter. We call it a "carbohydrate economy".
The environmental benefits of a carbohydrate economy are significant. Bio-based chemicals generate a tiny fraction of the pollution generated by the manufacture and use of petrochemicals. The use of biological fuels generates far less carbon dioxide than the use of fossil fuels. Finding commercial uses for the 300 million tons of cellulosic waste generated annually in our rural and urban areas would itself achieve important reductions in pollution. Switching to grasses or crops for making paper and construction materials would allow us to preserve old growth forests.
The carbohydrate economy promises economic as well as environmental benefits. Thousands of locally owned biorefineries that make multiple products from a single biological feedstock could inject billions of dollars into rural economies. The knowledge generated from this new manufacturing sector could become an important export.
Do sugar-derived chemicals have advantages over those derived from petroleum?
On a molecular basis, there is no difference between a chemical derived from sugar and the same chemical derived from petroleum. The advantage of sugar-derived chemicals lies in their origins and their renewability.
Are there environmental risks associated with handling the chemicals used and produced in the process?
No. The reagents used in the process are not peculiar and do not require any unique handling. All of the chemicals are commonly used in many manufacturing processes such that there are established and accepted standards of handling and storage which can be implemented. Precautions to insure the safe handling of all chemicals are incorporated in the preliminary design phase of the project and are carried out through operations, Equipment and areas where chemicals are stored are equipped with safety and protective systems designed to meet or exceed all applicable regulations. Where possible, more inert chemicals are used. Impermeable containment facilities are installed in areas where accidental spills may occur. Fire fighting equipment, eyewashes, safety showers are placed to insure quick response to accidents. The commitment to safety during construction and operations is instilled upon all site personnel through oral and written instructions.
Is it difficult to permit a biorefinery using the Arkenol process?
Does Arkenol license its process to other developers?
Yes, Arkenol can license its technology to qualified entities for their own project development. However, Arkenol prefers to offer more that just a license. With its team members, Arkenol can provide turnkey engineering, procurement, construction, and operations services. Arkenol will work with developers around the world to license its technology and on an individual project, a corporate or a regional basis.
What does the Arkenol process do?
The Arkenol process, protected by national and international patents, uses concentrated sulfuric acid to convert the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions of biomass into fermentable sugars in an efficient and cost effective manner. For the first time since the petroleum boom, renewable biomass can again become a major source of chemicals for industry and society.
All plant structures are composed of many-linked chains of sugar, cellulose and hemicellulose, which are surrounded by lignin; a glue-like carbon molecule that holds these sugar polymers together. In the first step of the Arkenol process, concentrated sulfuric acid is used to attack the long chain cellulose and hemicellulose molecules, breaking the links of the chain into their simple sugar components. This decrystallization and hydrolysis occurs at relatively low temperatures and pressures. The resulting solution now contains sugar, sulfuric acid, water, and lignin (an inert solid). The lignin is separated from this acidic solution using a filter press. The acidic sugar solution then continues on to a chromotographic separation unit which effectively separates the acid and sugar solution into a pure sugar stream and a pure acid stream. The acid stream, now dilute, is recycled and reconcentrated for further use. The now slightly acidic sugar stream (the separation of the streams approaches 100%) is neutralized with lime; forming gypsum. The gypsum is filtered from the neutralized sugar solution which is sent on for fermentation to the myriad of possible products.
Explain the difference between C5 and C6 sugars? cellulose and hemi-cellulose?
By weight, the largest component of plant matter is lignocellulosic material; a mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Both cellulose and hemi-cellulose are long chain polymers made up of individual sugar molecules. When these long chains are attacked through either acid or enzymatic hydrolysis back to their constituent sugars, the cellulose chain splits into glucose (a six carbon sugar, hence "C6″) and hemi-cellulose breaks down into xylose (a five carbon sugar, hence, "C5″). Though cellulose is found in greater proportions than hemi-cellulose, the relative amounts of each within a plant depend upon the kind of plant and its age. In general, hemi-cellulose comprises about 20% of a lignocellulosic material. Many other commercial fermentation methods ignore this valuable fraction.
Compared to hemicellulose, cellulose is a stable molecule that is difficult to hydrolyze. This difference in stability manifests itself in different reaction rates and different reaction end points. Because hydrolysis reactions of cellulose and hemi-cellulose proceed at different rates, care must be taken to maximize yields and recover the resulting sugars prior to degradation to elemental carbon. This process control is central to Arkenol's patents.
In order to utilize the hemicellulosic component of biomass, a viable method of metabolizing the resulting C5 sugars is needed. Techniques ranging from genetic engineering of yeast and bacteria to environmental acclimation are used to develop strains to make use of the hemicellulose. Arkenol has developed a yeast which, through the process a natural selection, has been bred to preferentially metabolize C5 sugars for the production of ethanol. When the C5 sugars have been consumed, the yeast will then metabolize the remaining C6 sugars. This results in increased product yields over competing processes.
Are any waste products produced with the Arkenol process?
The Arkenol process has been consciously designed to be "zero-discharge" from a process view. This means that, to the extent possible, the Arkenol process recovers and recycles all reagents used to effect the hydrolysis of cellulose. Virtually everything that comes into the plant as feedstock leaves the plant as valuable output product. However, as with any process that handles biomass, there are certain "fugitive" particulate emissions. In the Arkenol process, these types of emissions are extremely limited and of no significant consequence.
Has Arkenol had any third-party review of its technology?
Numerous independent reviews confirm the soundness of the science which defines the technical approach. The authors range from independent engineers and consultants, such as Arthur D. Little, R.W. Beck, and Purdue University (for the USDA), to in-house reviews by Babcock & Wilcox and Tenneco Energy, and to ethanol plant design engineers including, Lockwood Greene, Zurn/NEPCO, and Raphael Katzen Associates International. Arkenol's proprietary improvements have been protected via various patents, patent applications and trade secrets.
What makes the Arkenol process better than other processes that convert cellulose to sugar?
Process economics. Arkenol's founders have directed their engineers to follow the "dumb iron" approach to pilot plant construction and operation and full scale engineering. With recourse to only private funds, Arkenol labored to contain costs through benchtop research to pilot plant construction. This was possible because the focus was not on developing new technology but on identifying and correcting the economic deficiencies of a proven process – concentrated acid hydrolysis.
Arkenol's improvements to overall process efficiencies have resulted in higher concentrations of sugar and acid which require less energy to ferment and distill and reconcentrate for reuse. Arkenol's process improvements have also resulted in higher sugar yields per cellulose unit further enhancing process economics.
Of lesser importance, perhaps, is Arkenol's selection of the concentrated acid hydrolysis process which provides higher tolerance for variations in feedstock compositions. Genetically enhanced organisms used in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation processes are less robust and prone to destruction due to the required mechanical handling of the pumping processes used in continuous fermentations. For instance, these organisms are affected by co-factors present in feedstocks like municipal solid waste that, without pre-processing, result in the inhibition or even destruction of the organisms used. Concentrated sulfuric acid is an effective screening agent for these co-factors.
the ability to convert all process streams into valuable co-products: increases yield and eliminates waste disposal costs.
It is useful to note that unlike hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids used in competing processes, sulfuric acid is not toxic.
What kind of feedstocks can be used with the Arkenol process?
This astounding selection of feedstock provides a flexibility in matching available feedstocks with regional product markets.
Besides ethanol, what other products can be produced via the Arkenol process?
The Arkenol process extracts and converts cellulose and hemicellulose to C6 and C5 sugars. In a 1978 article published in Science, DuPont provided a review of over 250 chemicals that are manufactured today from petroleum and were once manufactured from sugar. Many of these are niche chemicals with small markets and high barriers to entry. The others are comprised of commodities whose manufacturing costs are optimized by the economies of scale found in the mega-refineries of the world. In order to compete in today's market place with these petroleum-derived commodity chemicals, it is critical to begin with significantly lower feedstock costs. The Arkenol process provides this cheaper sugar feedstock, and because of its geographic flexibility, can be sited near its ultimate customers to permit lower transportation costs.
For a list of potential end products click here www.ilsr.org.
What co-products are produced by the Arkenol process?
Aside from the primary fermentation products, the Arkenol process produces gypsum (calcium sulfate) and lignin in marketable quantities. Gypsum has markets in industry (e.g. road base, wallboard) and in agriculture (e.g., soil conditioner). Lignin also has markets in industry and in agriculture. Lignin may be used as a low-sulfur, cleaner-burning solid fuel with a higher heating value that ranges about 8,000 Btu/lb. As a soil amendment, lignin contains the minerals and nutrients that were originally extracted from the soil through the metabolism of plants. Its consistency is like peat moss, and in large scale agricultural applications, may be returned to the soil using conventional manure spreading equipment.
Because the Arkenol process recovers and recycles over 95% of the sulfuric acid used in the decrystallization and hydrolysis of cellulose, the amount of gypsum produced is significantly lower than older, less advanced processes.

It all started in Palermo in the early 40s, when Francesco Vitale (Nonno Ciccio) decided to devote himself to the wine business and to open a tavern in Via Gaetano La Loggia, which became a meeting place for friends and patrons.
In 1955, thanks to the experience gained in the city, Francesco chose to return to his native town, Partinico where, together with his family, he decided to found the Vitale brand and to give life to the first Bottega di Vino where he started the first vinifications, favoring the grapes of their own territory.
The winery was founded in 1962 by Francesco Vitale, a generous and sincere man who, marked by entrepreneurial genius, from the tavern expands his business, founding the brand.
The winery, located in the outskirts of the town, in the Margi district, is a family-run business. Now in its third generation, it is administered by the young nephew Francesco with the precious collaboration of his father Francesco Paolo (winemaker).
Casa Vinicola Vitale is a processing, vinification and bottling plant that produces high quality wines, such as the Zibibbo liqueur wine and almond flavored, cream-flavored wines. coffee and strawberry, produced with infusions and strictly natural aromas according to the ancient recipe of Nonno, or the persuasive White and Red wines obtained from native vines, selected in the most suitable wine-producing areas of Sicily, vinified with traditional techniques in the presence of skins at temperature controlled and aged in barriques in air-conditioned environments.
For other wines, on the other hand, preservation takes place in stainless steel silos in air-conditioned environments, leaving the necessary time for refining and natural stability of the wine, so that the organoleptic characteristics of the original product remain unchanged.
The company, present today on the national and international market, produces quality wines, both in bulk and in bottles.
The Vitale Vini brand, with its niche products, true nectars for every palate, has even landed in the United States since the early 1980s.
Among the most appreciated bottles on the market is the extraordinary Caleno, selected Nero d'Avola grapes, with an intense aroma, a strong hint of vanilla and a background of wild berries.


Activists in New York City have been calling for officials to support increased wages for financially-struggling drivers, as at least six have committed suicide in recent months after falling into debt. Now, a new study from the city's taxi commission is offering one potential policy change, calling for a $17.22 minimum wage for all drivers who earn a living from ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft.
The proposed policy from the city's Taxi & Limousine Commission calls for drivers who work for ride-hailing companies—also including Via and Juno—to earn $17.22 per house, the equivalent for an independent contractor of $15 per hour plus paid time off. It would be the first policy in the U.S. to apply to independent contractors who drive for ride-hailing apps.
The impact would be significant for many drivers, according to the study's authors, James Parrot of NYC's New School and Michael Reich, professor at the University of California-Berkely. The pair's findings found that 85 percent of current ride-hailing app drivers earn less than their proposed wage.
The study highlights the growing strain among the tens of thousands of drivers in NYC in recent years, after Uber first deployed in the city in 2013. The authors found that 90 percent of the city's app-based drivers are immigrants, and driving is the only job for two-thirds of them.
"Eighty percent acquired their vehicle to enter the industry and would risk losing their investment if they switched to working in another industry," the study says.
More notably, forty percent of drivers have incomes so low they qualify for Medicaid, and another 16 percent have no health insurance. Nearly one-in-five drivers qualify for food stamps.
All of this, even as Uber and Lyft, among others, have witnessed significant growth. With sky-high valuations, and billions in investor cash to boot, the companies artificially suppress the cost of rides in a competition to garner market share.
"This business model reduces driver trips per hour and therefore driver pay per hour," the study says. Uber, Lyft, Via and Juno account for 80,000 vehicles in New York City, the New York Times reports, about six times more than the city's 13,587 yellow taxis.
Groups organizing around increasing compensation for drivers offered vastly different perspectives toward the study on Monday.
"The new study confirms what we've been saying for some time—that drivers are in fact struggling and it's time to act. New York must require exploitative companies like Uber and Lyft to pay a livable wage," said Jim Conigliaro, Jr., founder of the Independent Drivers Guild, which represents more than 65,000 app-based drivers in New York City, in a statement.
It didn't earn praise from every group. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance said the proposal fails to take into account drivers with higher expenses, and fails to address growing income inequality by locking them into a minimum wage instead of the fare for a ride.
NYTWA Executive Director Bhairavi Desai said in a statement that city council and NYC's mayor should throw their support behind a cap for for-hire vehicles and ensure they can earn their income based on the rates of fare.
Meera Joshi, the city's taxi commissioner, didn't comment on the study to the Times, but has previously said the pay rules would be set based on the study.
Update (3:33 p.m.): Uber and Lyft have sent along statements.
Lyft is proud to provide valuable, flexible earning opportunities for so many drivers in New York. We have not yet reviewed the full report, but the new proposed policy appears to create financial incentives for drivers to provide less service. As a result, there will be more empty cars, more congestion, longer wait times for passengers, and, over time, less pay for drivers in New York City. This would be a bad outcome for all New Yorkers, and Lyft is committed to working with policymakers to find a better solution.
Lyft also says its wages for drivers is far higher than what the TLC found, and claims net earnings—after expenses—already equals the $17.22 per hour wage the study argues should be set.
We share the goal that all full-time taxi and Uber drivers in NYC should earn a living wage, but the report's proposals would get there by shrinking the transportation pie; hurting riders through substantially increased prices and reduced service; and severely limiting the amount of time existing drivers can access the platform. We are concerned about the unintended consequences of implementing the findings in this report and believe many of the assumptions made about our industry are over-simplified to the point of flawed.

Huntley Community School District 158NewsPress ReleasesHuntley 158 Announces Dr. Scott Rowe as New Superintendent
Huntley 158 Announces Dr. Scott Rowe as New Superintendent
The Huntley Community School District 158 Board of Education has named Dr. Scott Rowe as superintendent of schools, starting July 1. Dr. Rowe currently is the principal of Huntley High School.
The selection is the result of a national search conducted with the assistance of Hazard, Young, Attea, and Associates that produced nearly 50 qualified applicants from diverse geographic and professional backgrounds.
"We are extraordinarily pleased with the outcome of this search process. In the end, Dr. Rowe proved himself the best fit to carry forward the vision of the District," said Don Drzal, president of the Board of Education. "His track record of driving innovation and academic excellence at HHS over the past five years, along with his passion for working with the students and families of our community, demonstrates his capability to succeed in this new role."
Rowe has been instrumental in implementing the high school's nationally recognized Blended Learning Program and 1:1 learning initiative, and the establishment of its Medical Academy, Engineering Academy, and new Fine Arts and Global Academies. In addition, he led the core planning team for the school's recent $35-million renovation and addition project.
Rowe was selected among three finalists for the position. The other two finalists included the sitting superintendent of a suburban Chicago school district and the former superintendent of a large, out-of-state district.
Rowe began his career as a social studies teacher and assistant principal in other districts before joining Huntley 158 in 2011 as principal of Marlowe Middle School. He has been principal of HHS for the past five years. Rowe holds a bachelor's degree from Missouri State University and master's and doctoral degrees in education from Aurora University.
He and his wife, Melissa, live in Huntley and have two children who attend Huntley 158 schools.

Wild weather: Dramatic footage shows massive landslide into flooded Rangitata River
Huge slip on the Rangitata river Canterbury
A massive landslide has been caught on camera as the wild weather ravages South Canterbury, forcing residents to evacuate, closing major roads, and resulting in a district state of emergency.
The video of the slip into the swollen Rangitata River was taken by local woman, Ange Protheroe this afternoon.
State Highway 1 at Rangitata has been closed due to the river level from heavy rain. Photo / via Ange Protheroe video
She said it was taken at the Rangitata diversion intake.
At around 4pm this afternoon, Protheroe and her husband took a drive to see how much water was running down the Rangitata.
They saw brown water racing down the river and hitting into a bank. They spotted some small cliffs give way and they decided to park up and watch it.
Protheroe started filming and managed to capture the large cliffside comedown.
"We were a good 100m away across the river, and the river was really loud, but you could hear the earth cracking before it actually gave way," she told the Herald.
"It was a real rumble. It sounded like thunder as it hit into the water."
After the "unbelievable" scene, the couple looked at each other and said, "That was crazy!"

Timaru District Council, at about 3pm, asked all residents between McLelland, Orion Rangitata Mouth Rds and Rangitata River to evacuate immediately.
Timaru Emergency Operations Centre's Steven Doran said the flooding was causing issues.
"There has been significant rainfall in the headwaters of the Rangitata River that's basically creating a big bulge of water coming down the river. We're expecting that to peak around 7pm tonight," Doran said.
"It's in a rural area so there's not the same sort of risk to property but it has cut off two main arterial routes."
Doran said the water coming down the headlands of the Rangitata River had peaked at 2700 cubic metres per second.

"There is water coming down the river at a level we wouldn't expect to see for at least 20 years between times," Doran said.
"And the river usually runs at about 300 so it's a big, big difference. It's a braided river so it doesn't always flow in the same path as well. So it can change path, and a lot of farmland can be in the way as well."
• Thunderstorms, downpours: State of emergency declared, Timaru evacuated, State Highway 1 closed in Canterbury
• Wild weather: Timaru residents told to evacuate after Rangitata River floods
• Your weather: One of the 'larger storms of the year' due to hit
• Is this the end of the golden weather?
MetService meteorologist Andy Best said despite the severe flooding in Timaru, the rain had now passed over Canterbury.
"The rain has moved through the Banks Peninsula and is currently on its way further north to Marlborough in the next few hours," Best said.
"There's no rain at all over much of Canterbury now. There's not a cloud in the sky on the satellite imagery."
All the West Coast settlements on State Highway 6, between Hokitika and Makarora, are cut off from each other because of the damage.
Pete Connors, from the NZ Transport Agency, said a huge length of the state highway - more than 350km long is shut because of numerous slips and a bridge washout.
"The real problem we've got is between Fox Glacier and Franz Josef - on what we call the Fox Hills ... there have been some pretty substantial slips," Connors told RNZ.
Connors said it's too early to say how long it will take to repair the roads.
Westland District Mayor Bruce Smith said there had been considerable damage and residents were isolated until the weather improves.
Power is out from Fox Glacier to Paringa, and likely to remain so for a couple of days.

Q: Firebase Functions: Node.js: Iterate map stored in firebase document field I am struggling to find documentation on using maps pulled from firebase in function triggers I'm building using Node.js. Everytime I find example code, it uses functions that my index.js file does not understand.
Example db structure:
db.collection('users').doc('abc')
let 'abc' hold one field called 'uids' which is a Map of String, bool
I want to iterate over 'uids'map in my Firebase trigger function to update all elements that have value "false"
I can't figure out the appropriate way to do any manipulations/logic using maps in my index.js.
These are two of the more coherent snippets I've tried, found online:
db.collection('users').doc('abc').get().then((doc) => {
  var uids = doc.data().uids;

//try 1
  uids.forEach((value, key, map) => {
    //do stuff
  });

//try 2
  for (var uid in uids) {
    if (uid.val() == false)
      //do stuff
  }
});

When searching for specific syntax regarding my index.js code, am I wrongly understanding that this is a Node.js file? I don't understand why I'm finding tens of ways to do the same thing. It seems totally random solutions are posted everywhere that don't work in my file.
SOLUTION:: Thanks for the comments and answer to help solve this.
I was able to cast the firebase map using "Object.elemets(uids)" to extrace the keys and values.
for (let [key, value] of Object.elements(uids)) {
  //do stuff
}

A: Can you try:
db.collection('users').doc('abc').get().then((doc) => {
  var uids = doc.data().uids;
  for (var uid of Object.keys(uids)) {
    console.log(uid, uids[uid]); // key, value
  }
});

Overexpression of BMI1 correlates with cancer development, progression, and therapy failure; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Using the C666-1 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) model, the role of BMI1 in mediating response of NPC cells to radiation therapy (RT) was investigated. The results showed a novel radioresistance function for BMI1 in NPC, wherein BMI1 depletion sensitized NPC cells to RT. Cell cycle analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed apoptosis as the major mode of cell death, and the mitochondria as a primary targeted cellular organelle. Genome-wide microarray and pathway analyses revealed that the P53 pathway is a critical mediator of this process. Cotransfection with siP53 rescued C666-1 cells from cytotoxicity upon BMI1 depletion and RT, thereby corroborating the role for P53. Pretreatment with the antioxidant, Trolox, inhibited apoptosis, indicating that production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is also mediating cytotoxicity. In vivo, BMI1 depletion combined with RT abrogated tumor-forming capacity in SCID mice, showing the relevance of this process in a more complex tumor environment. Hence, we show a novel role for BMI1 in conferring radioresistance in cancer cells through the downregulation of p53-mediated apoptosis. These results suggest a potential strategy of BMI1 depletion combined with RT for tumors wherein BMI1 appears to be driving disease progression.
Global micro-RNA (miR) profiling of human malignancies is increasingly performed, but to date, the majority of such analyses have used frozen tissues. However, formalin fixation is the standard and routine histological practice for optimal preservation of cellular morphology. To determine whether miR analysis of formalin-fixed tissues is feasible, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) profiling of miR expression in 40 archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast lumpectomy specimens were performed. Taqman Low Density Arrays (TLDAs) were used to assess the expression level of 365 miRs in 34 invasive ductal carcinomas and in 6 normal comparators derived from reduction mammoplasties. Its technical reproducibility was high, with intra-sample correlations above 0.9 and with 92.8% accuracy in differential expression comparisons, indicating such global profiling studies to be technically and biologically robust. The TLDA data were confirmed using conventional single-well qRT-PCR analysis, showing a strong and statistically significant concordance between these two methods. Paired frozen and FFPE breast cancer samples from the same patients showed a similar level of robust correlation of at least 0.94. Compared with normal breast samples, a panel of miRs was consistently dysregulated in breast cancer, including earlier-reported breast cancer-related miRs, such as upregulated miR-21, miR-155, miR-191, and miR-196a, and downregulated miR-125b and miR-221. Additional novel miR sequences of potential biological relevance were also uncovered. These results show the validity and utility of conducting global miR profiling using FFPE samples, thereby offering enormous opportunities to evaluate archival banks of such materials, linked to clinical databases, to rapidly acquire greater insight into the clinically relevant role for miRs in human malignancies.
A significant proportion of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) are associated with the human papilloma virus (HPV), particularly HPV16. The optimal method for HPV determination on archival materials however, remains unclear. We compared a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay for HPV16 mRNA to a DNA in situ hybridization (ISH) method, and evaluated their significance for overall (OS) and disease-free (DFS) survival.
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the eighth most common malignancy worldwide, comprising a diverse group of cancers affecting the head and neck region. Despite advances in therapeutic options over the last few decades, treatment toxicities and overall clinical outcomes have remained disappointing, thereby underscoring a need to develop novel therapeutic approaches in HNC treatment. Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), a key regulator of heme biosynthesis, was identified from an RNA interference-based high-throughput screen as a tumor-selective radiosensitizing target for HNC. UROD knockdown plus radiation induced caspase-mediated apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HNC cells in vitro and suppressed the in vivo tumor-forming capacity of HNC cells, as well as delayed the growth of established tumor xenografts in mice. This radiosensitization appeared to be mediated by alterations in iron homeostasis and increased production of reactive oxygen species, resulting in enhanced tumor oxidative stress. Moreover, UROD was significantly overexpressed in HNC patient biopsies. Lower preradiation UROD mRNA expression correlated with improved disease-free survival, suggesting that UROD could potentially be used to predict radiation response. UROD down-regulation also radiosensitized several different models of human cancer, as well as sensitized tumors to chemotherapeutic agents, including 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, and paclitaxel. Thus, our study has revealed UROD as a potent tumor-selective sensitizer for both radiation and chemotherapy, with potential relevance to many human malignancies.
Deregulation of miRNAs is associated with almost all human malignancies. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) has a significantly more favorable outcome compared with HPV-negative OPCs; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Hence, the objectives of this study were to determine whether miRNA expression differed as a function of HPV status and to assess whether such miRNAs provide prognostic value beyond HPV status.

Paul Soldner (24 d'abril de 1921 Summerfield, Illinois – 3 de gener de 2011 Claremont, California) va ser un ceramista estatunidenc, que va destacar per la seva experimentació amb la tècnica japonesa del s.XVI anomenada raku, introduint nous mètodes de cocció i de post-cocció, creant el que va anomenar-se Raku americà

Biografia
Va servir com a metge a l'exèrcit durant la Segona Guerra Mundial i va començar a forjar la seva carrera artística en tornar als Estats Units. Es va titular en educació artística i en gestió de l'art al Bluffton College i a la Universitat de Colorado, centrant-se posteriorment en la ceràmica. Inicialment, va dedicar-se la ceràmica utilitària.

El 1954, Soldner va convertir-se en el primer alumne de Peter Voulkos, al recent estrenat departament de ceràmica del Los Angeles County Art Institute (ara Otis College of Art and Design). Mentre Soldner ajudava el seu mestre a elaborar el programa, va fer nombroses modificacions en l'equipament del taller de ceràmica, cosa que el va dur a fundar la Soldner Pottery Equipment Corp. el 1955, per tal de comercialitzar els seus invents. D'aquests invents, va patentar-ne set, tots ells relacionats amb maquinària ceràmica.

Després de rebre el seu MFA en ceràmica el 1956, Soldner va fer classes al Scripps College.

Als anys 60, va ajudar a fundar l'Anderson Ranch Arts Center a Snowmass, Colorado. També es va implicar en la creació del National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA).

Soldner també va desenvolupar un mètode per coure amb sals a baixa temperatura. Juntament amb Voulkos, és considerat el creador de l'"escola ceràmica californiana", que es caracteritza per combinar tècniques i materials occidentals amb la tecnologia i l'estètica japoneses.

Mentre impartia classes al Scripps College, va organitzar la Scripps Ceramics Annual - una exposició reconeguda a nivell nacional. Com a conseqüència de les relacions d'amistat al llarg de la seva vida amb els coleccionistes de ceràmica Fred i Mary Marer, Scripps va convertir-se en l'afortunada destinatària de l'amplia Col·lecció de Ceràmica Contemporània Marer. El 1990, Scripps va rebre una beca NEA per a fer recerca i organitzar una exposició titulada, "Paul Soldner: Una Retrospectiva'" que va circular al llarg de tots els Estats Units.

Soldner va jubilar-se de Scripps el 1991. Va viure i va tenir tallers a Aspen, Colorado i Claremont, California.

El raku americà
Paul Soldner és un dels creadors del raku americà, molt diferent de la tècnica japonesa que el va inspirar. Avui en dia, les innovacions de Soldner i dels seus col·legues són tan populars que sovint es confon la tècnica moderna amb l'original.

En un assaig titulat "El raku a l'estil americà", Soldner reflexiona sobre aquest fet: "Si el raku americà és tan diferent, com és que li hem acabat dient raku? Probablement va ser un error. Un error del qual he de confessar la meva part, tot i que de fet, va passar sense que me n'adonés. Una part de la confusió es va donar perquè en aquell moment, al 1960, no en sabíem gaire del raku japonès. En tenía notícia a partir de la lectura de El llibre del te. La comunitat japonesa propera a Los Angeles Art Institute també va ser una font per a la nostra indagació i estudi. Probablement el que més em va atraure i influir va ser la descripció de Bernard Leach del seu primer encontre amb el raku [a "A Potter's Book"]."

El crític d'art Garth Clark, explica així les primeres incursions de Paul Soldner en el món del raku: "Convidat a fer una demostració en una fira d'artesania el 1960, Soldner va decidir experimentar amb la tècnica [del raku]. A partir del llibre de Bernard Leach ,"A Potter's Book", va construir un forn senzill i va improvisar alguns esmalts amb base de plom. Els resultats van ser decebedors: l'argila no responia bé al xoc tèrmic i els esmalts eren massa brillants o de colors massa extremats. Tot i així, la seva fascinació pel raku (una tècnica japonesa desenvolupada al s. XVI ) no va disminuir, Soldner va seguir experimentant. Primer feia bàsicament bols per al te, però aviat va trobar-ho limitat i segons com "massa acadèmic", ja que no existia cap cerimònia del te en la cultura occidental que dotés aquesta forma d'un significat tradicional. Aquesta reflexió, va comportar una aproximació molt més lúdica a la forma, a la mida, a la funció i al material."

Tota aquesta experimentació va donar fruits i Soldner va assolir uns serie d'efectes espectaculars sobre les peces. El món occidental va entusiasmar-se amb aquestes innovadores tècniques i el raku americà va esdevenir terriblement popular.

Soldner descriu així les diferències entre la seva tècnica i la tradicional: "L'estil del raku americà difereix en molts aspectes [del japonès], particularment en la magnífica superfície negra produïda pel fumat de la peça a l'exterior del forn quan s'acaba de coure. Altres innovacions inclouen el refredament de la peça roent en aigua freda al final de la cuita, la producció de llustres de coure brillants i acolorits, el forçat de l'esquerdat de l'esmalt per on penetra el fum, l'halo blanc o l'aparició que rodeja la decoració negra metal·litzada i el descobriment d'una engalba de coure que de vegades deriva en una insòlita superfície mat de color groc. El raku americà també utilitza formes diferents del bol de te tradicional. Com que la cerimònia del te mai va formar part del raku americà, els ceramistes americans poden ser més experimentals i imaginatius que els seus col·legues japonesos"

There is No Such Thing as A Successful Victim
"Are you going to play the role of a victim, or are you gonna get off your ass and make it happen."
Ouch, I was 17 years old and felt like I just got punched in the face. I was a starter my whole life in football...one of the best players always, and I had just gotten benched.
I had all the excuses. It was a new position I had never played. My coach yelled at me more and singled me out more than anyone else. I didn't "feel" like he liked me at all or wanted me to succeed and on and on. Nevermind that I really was having trouble playing the position. It was new, but I was a superstar the year before at a similar position. It wasn't my fault.
As I sat there, after getting my worst reaming by a coach in history, I could not help but feel sorry for myself. I wanted to quit so bad, but I did love the game. My dad saw all this. He knew what was up and came to talk with me. He had coached me when I was younger and was tough, but fair.
We talked through my options. Yes, I could quit the game I had played since I was 6. I could ride the bench the rest of the season. Or I could make a change. As we sat there talking, he said a few things that really sunk in. First, he said "You're right, your coach yells at you louder and more frequently than anyone else on the team. But, you know what my coach told me when I played? It's when I stop yelling at you or getting after you that you better worry - because at that point I don't care anymore." And then he laid it on me, "You can be a victim or you can get off you ass and make it happen. You're still one of their best players and the best are not victims."
I perked up and said, "Yeah, I guess your right." The next day, I went into the locker pulled my head coach and my position coach aside and discussed how I could have the best impact on the team. My head coach suggested that I move to a position I had played and excelled at when I was younger.
I made the move and when I got my chance in the next game...I never came back out for two years and was "All League" for both of them.
You can be a victim or you can get off your ass and make it happen. The best are not victims...
Why tell this story?
It is a powerful lesson in how to succeed that I was fortunate to learn, but not realize the true signficance of, until later in life.
There are no successful victims in life. You can't be both. You're either successful or you're the victim; or you're lying about one or the other.
Playing the role of the victim does not help you reach your goals, grow yourself, enhance your status, or help you lead others. Noticed that I said "playing the role," because that is what most people who claim to be victims are doing. They choose it.
And that is the point, you can choose to be a victim like I did, before I got some sense knocked into me, or you can choose not to be and press on and make things happen in your life. Don't blame or complain because it really does you no good. Blaming others doesn't help you succeed. Complaining about it doesn't help you succeed.
The only thing that will make a difference for you is your choice to act and do something about it; to win, and to not let yourself fall into the victim trap.
If you think about it, all you do when you play the role of a victim is cede control of your life to some outside force. You are literally giving away your power as an individual. Why would you ever want to do that? You want to be in control of your life, right?
It's easy to be a victim. It's extremely hard to press on in spite of fear, worry, doubt, and all of the other things that can hold you back in life. It is the desire and will to press through that sets people apart and makes them successful. Successful people stay in control of their lives and don't give up their power.
And that is why you will never see a successful victim.

Japanese journalist Asaki Abumi has been living in Oslo for more than ten years. She writes articles for Japanese media about the Norwegian way of life.
Her typical day in the capital of Norway is busy but fun.
I often bike through the streets of the hip Grünerløkka district of Oslo.
Today, I enjoy sights you usually don't see in other parts of the world, like people training on roller skis or jogging to work with a backpack, men pushing baby strollers, and groups of children from kindergartens on excursions.
Did you know that the Norwegian word for happiness is lykke? Retrolykke (retro happiness) is a cafe and vintage shop of happy, vibrant colours. What a good place to start my day.

Tonje Fagerheim runs and owns Retrolykke, indeed she is the place.
She makes me feel like home because we talk about everything, and she also tells me fun, quirky things about the Norwegian way of life.
in the hunt for vintage kitchenware, trinkets, and decorative objects, all very colourful and often typically Norwegian.
She sells a lot of these here at her shop Retrolykke. Way too cheap, in my opinion, as the same items often have a triple price tag in Japan.

Retrolykke serves the typical Norwegian waffle. The shape consists of several small hearts, and the whole thing reminds me of a five-leaf clover.
Oh, by the way, today Tonje had a surprise for me. A bright red traditional Norwegian bread box with painted motifs, maybe from the 1950s. I think it has a cute "kawaii" factor.
Tonje found the box in a flea market and sold it to me for only 300 Norwegian kroner.
My John Lennon-style rounded sunglasses were bought at Robot in Markveien in the district of Grünerløkka, just two minutes from Retrolykke.
The advantage of my yellow glasses is that I always get the impression that the day is sunny.
I love to take pictures at the many places in Oslo where you can discover the works and life of the artist, Edvard Munch. In fact, The Munch Museum in Oslo is the biggest collection of any single artist in the world.
Munch works. Starry Night and House Wall in Moonlight, both of which Munch painted in the years 1922 to 1924.
I think these paintings capture the special, clear Nordic light. Even the shapes of the clouds remind me of the sky above Oslo.
I always have time for coffee and cake, especially the cheesecake named after Munch's most famous painting, The Scream.
In Oslo, there are now several places where you can choose your food from stalls and sit down at shared tables. Today, I pick the food court of Mathallen.
I always tell my Japanese visitors to choose local Norwegian food and skip the fast food chains.
This street-food restaurant offers food created by famous Norwegian chefs.
I have a potato waffle brushed with bone marrow of beef and crab lettuce with horseradish and whitefish roe on the side, a dish created by former Michelin chef Even Ramsvik.
I seldom drink alcohol, and luckily, Norway has excellent apple juice from local juiceries like Ringi.
The other day I bought a beautiful ring at Tom Wood, a Norwegian fashion brand that has become popular in Japan.
, where you can find both international and local brands.
I find the clothes and jewellery of Tom Wood cheaper here in Oslo than in Japan. And yes, the garments are generally oversized. I love oversized fashion!

I am basically a big fan of tea, but I drink more coffee here in Oslo because cafes are everywhere here, and several are run by baristas and coffee roasters of international reputation.
The coffee bar Fuglen started out in Oslo, and the company even has two outlets in Tokyo. I love the Scandinavian style interior, mostly decorated with modernist Norwegian furniture and decorative objects.
I also spend a lot of time at prize-winning coffee bars like Solberg & Hansen, Stockfleths, and Tim Wendelboe.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded yearly in Oslo, and today I visit the Nobel Peace Centre to take pictures of an art installation that represents the prize winners all the way back to 1901.
Blå, which simply means "blue" in Norwegian, is a popular concert scene located in an old industrial brick building by the river of Akerselva.

As a journalist writing for Yahoo! Japan News, Asahi Shimbun Globe, All About, Globetrotter Media Partner, and other media, I prefer to do my writings late at night and spend the daytime meeting people in Oslo.
Today, I'm especially happy about my bargain, the breadbox from Retrolykke. The only thing is that I don't eat much bread at home so I will use it for … tea.

You Leave Me Hanging: Time And Music In Hitchcock's Vertigo
Adam Scovell , July 14th, 2018 09:05
As its 60th anniversary sees it returning to British cinema screens, Adam Scovell dissects Hitchcock's use of time and repetition in his brilliant 1968 film, Vertigo
In a 1960 interview for the BBC series, Picture Parade, Alfred Hitchcock famously stated that "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." It seems to be a dictum that the director followed throughout the majority of his career, heightening the stylised end of narrative story-telling in film to arguably its highest levels of innovation. Yet, in Hitchcock's most renowned and respected film, Vertigo (1958), the usual snappy running length of the director's cinema is extended, to the point where it is obvious that something more is happening in its quiet scenes; moments that, in most other examples of his film work, would be cut or shortened.
Based on the novel by French crime writing duo Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, Hithcock's film uses slower scenes to extend the growing obsession of its lead protagonist in a variety of interesting ways. Whether through long takes or placing the job of thematic development on the score by Bernard Herrmann, Hitchcock beautifully films everyday moments in Vertigo in a way that he rarely ever did before or after.
Vertigo follows a police detective, Scotty (James Stewart), who is called in to help an old friend, Gavin (Tom Helmore), discover the reason behind the increasingly strange behaviour of his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak). Believing her to be possessed by the spirit of an ancient, suicidal relative, Scotty's tailing of her slowly turns into an obsessive love. He makes contact after she attempts suicide in San Francisco Bay, before beginning a doomed affair with her.
All is not to end well for Scotty and, reminiscent of when a policeman was left to die from falling from a building due to the detective's acrophobia, she succeeds in taking her own life by jumping from a high church tower before he can reach her in time to save her. But nothing is what it seems in Hitchcock's film. When Scotty, after suffering from psychological torment of his guilt, finds Judy, a woman who suspiciously reminds him of his lost lover, the traces of a conspiracy begin to show.
Hitchcock extends Vertigo chiefly with driving sequences. There have always been sequences of characters getting from place to place in his films and they have often served a purpose. In Psycho (1960), Hitchcock condenses the first segment of that film's narrative over its driving sequences rather than extend the film and show them separately. The escape of Marion (Janet Leigh) is overlaid with other characters' realisation that she has stolen money.
Similarly, in North by Northwest (1959), a film famously built on the desperate journeying of a chase, driving sequences often have a purpose rather than being simply perfunctory: in this case, the potential murder of its lead character, Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), at the hands of the film's enemies – as well as isolating the lead to heighten the danger.
On the surface, Vertigo's early driving segments don't seem to do anything like this. They are part of the character's job and have a purpose but that purpose is never reduced down into simple key notes but actually shown in great detail.
The first half of the film is littered with driving sequences and is largely made up of two tailing segments where Scotty follows Madeleine to a variety of locations. In the first of these, he follows her in her distinctive green Jaguar Mk. VIII to a flower shop, a graveyard, a gallery, and a house that she appears to be secretly renting before mysteriously losing her entirely. All of these locations are essential to both the characters' and film's devious scheming as it adds to the supernatural belief of the narrative and ignores any potential rational explanation for what seems to be happening. But the way Hitchcock lingers in these scenes is interesting. There are multiple compositions that show the road ahead from Scotty's car, Scotty looking towards camera and then cutting out to show both cars making various manoeuvres. On paper they're exactly the sort of everyday moments that Hitchcock has previously removed or condensed to some basic narrative bridge and their repetition leads to the evolution from tailing to stalking.
Here, the scenes build Scotty's obsession slowly but meaningfully. In fact, it's hard to imagine believing in his growing obsession without the slow burn of his meticulous following. The film will in many ways be one long pursuit of this woman though the journey will never reach a comfortable conclusion. It's one of the weaknesses of the original book which tries to grow the character's obsession with too little emphasis on the monotonous process of his job in following Madeline. The scenes in the film are meticulous, the colours and lighting are perfect as is Stewart's performance. But it is Bernard Herrmann's score that is slowly building in evidence of a burgeoning affection. As the composer famously said in an interview with the musicologist Royal S. Brown, "[Hitchcock]only finishes a picture 60%. I have to finish it for him." The motifs that are smuggled into the score over these scenes find their way later on into some of the film's more amorous moments. There's almost a sense of déjà vu when love is properly and finally declared for real. Certain fragments of musical score, working in a much more subtle way than the typical leitmotif, eventually build into what is the love theme. This only comes to full fruition on Madeline's rebirth when Judy has been discovered and forced into becoming the dead woman. Her morbid transformation or return, however, was foretold when she was earlier behind the wheel.
There's a beautiful sense of ghosting throughout the film because of this cinematic extension: a ghosting of Madeleine by Scotty on the job, a ghosting of a literal quality of Madeline restepping the life of a supposed dead woman, and the eventual ghosting of a love to be lost twice over. The rare sense of the everyday journey finds its way into Hitchcock's film, not just because it's necessary to the workings of the narrative. It is because these places and moments are when the most dramatic of yearnings can first arise. The eventual destination may only be a tragic circle. But the road down to San Francisco Bay seemed straight at the time.

Follow the success of the Vietnam Tourism Roadshow in Barcelona. On 20th Jan 2017, Mr Linh's Adventures Travel along with VNAT and 20 Vietnamese travel companies attended the roadshow held at the Marriot Courtyard Hotel, Madrid. Also in attendance were international tour operators and more than 120 travel companies, tour operators and bloggers from Madrid. The roadshow aims to introduce Viet Nam's tourism policies, destinations, products and services to Spanish and European tourists, and in doing so, provide opportunities for Vietnamese tourism enterprises to work in cooperation with Spanish travel agencies.
According to statistics, over an 11 month period in 2016, a total of 58,000 Spanish tourists visited Vietnam. This is a 29% increase on the previous year's figures.
In order to attract even more Spanish tourists, Vietnam will increase airline connections between the key cities of the two countries. As well as this, all Spanish passport holders travelling to Vietnam for tourism or business will be granted a 15 day, free visa.

Food makers respond to minister over salt levels
20-Sep-2004 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 14:41 GMT
Related tags: Salt levels, Food, Food processing, Food standards agency
Pushed by a UK minister, food makers handed in plans at the weekend
to slash the salt content in processed foods but the industry has
criticised the government move, suspecting political
spin,reports Lindsey Partos.
Controversy linked to the most common food ingredient in the world sparked off in June this year when health minister Melanie Johnson rejected plans submitted by the industry to reduce salt levels, accusing food manufacturer's of not going 'nearly far enough.'
In a letter Johnson surprised over twenty food players - among them Kerry Foods, Heinz, Sainsbury, and McDonalds - warning them they had until 18 September to come back with a better plan to beat the 'unacceptably high levels of salt'.
"We are astonished," a spokesperson from the UK Food and Drink Federation told FoodNavigator.com at the time.
Speaking this week to FoodNavigator.com, the FDF said that it had written to Johnson this month, updating her on the achievements made with regards to its salt reduction plans, actually submitted in February this year.
"We still haven't had any feedback from her on this framework," said a spokesperson for the industry body. Without feedback the food industry can not discuss and heed the concerns of the government.
Burgeoning Irish group Kerry Foods said to FoodNavigator.com that it had replied to Johnson's request, submitting an outline of ongoing programmes - although it has not announced specific plans in the past - currently in place to reduce the salt in prepared foods in line, with targets set by the Food Standards Agency.
"We are also in discussions with consumer groups, particularly with regards to salt phase reduction," added the €2.7 billion ingredients and food group.
Condemned for contributing to the worsening health problems in the population, consumer groups have come down hard on the food manufacturers pushing them to reduce the salt used in food recipes.
Eating too much salt is a significant risk factor in developing high blood pressure, itself a cause or contributing factor in the rising incidence of heart disease.
Recent figures from the UK's food agency claim that every day at least 26 million people eat more than the recommended daily limit of 6g of salt. Men are eating the most with a daily average of 11.0g of salt while women consume an average of 8.1g a day.
Backed by the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA), the UK food industry has committed itself to meeting a target of a 10 per cent reduction in sodium levels in ambient soups and sauces by the end of 2003. Salt levels in breakfast cereals have been cut by 16 per cent since 1998, claims the FDF.
"The food industry is about two-thirds of the way to reaching our target of a 1g reduction in processed foods by the end of 2005. However, to reach the ambitious target of 6g per day by 2010 will require further action by both consumers and industry if we are to reduce the human and health costs of eating too much salt," said FSA chair Sir John Krebs, at the launch in September of a new campaign to cut salt levels in the diet.

Novosil  es una ciudad del óblast de Oriol, en Rusia, centro administrativo del rayón de Novosil. Está situada en la Meseta Central Rusa, en la orilla derecha del río Zusha, a 64 km (77 km por carretera) al sudeste de Oriol. Su población se elevaba 3.852 habitantes en 2009.

Historia

Novosil es mencionada por primera vez en 1155, como una fortaleza llamada Itil. En la Edad Media fue sede de una de las ramas de la familia Rúrikovich. Se conoce como Novosil desde el siglo XIV. A principios del siglo XV, la ciudad cayó bajo el dominio del Gran Ducado de Lituania, aunque a finales de ese mismo siglo entró en los territorios del Gran Ducado de Moscú, convirtiéndose en una de sus fortalezas meridionales hasta el siglo XVII. Novosil alcanzó el estatus de ciudad en 1777, siendo centro administrativo de una serie de uyedz de la guberniya de Tula.

En la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la ciudad fue tomada por las tropas alemanas el 13 de noviembre de 1941, siendo recapturada por las tropas soviéticas del frente de Briansk el 27 de diciembre del mismo año, en el marco de un contraataque en dirección a Oriol.

Desconectada de las rutas de tráfico importantes, la ciudad no se ha desarrollado mucho económicamente.

Demografía

Lugares de interés

Se conservan en Novosil una serie de edificios de los siglos XVIII y XIX, entre los que cabe destacar la Iglesia de la Madre de Dios (собор Божией Матери) de finales del siglo XVIII, la iglesia del Icono de Nuestra Señora de Kazán (Казанская церковь) de 1802 y viviendas de piedra del XIX.

Dentro del rayón de Novosil, en la localidad de Golun, se conserva la propiedad de campo de la familia Golitsin.

Economía

La ciudad es centro de producción agrícola, sector del cual tienen sede varias compañías.
La estación de ferrocarril más cercana es Zalegoshch, a 14 km de la línea abierta en 1870 entre Oriol-Yelets-Griazi.
Asimismo pasa por Novosil la carretera regional que une Oriol con Yefrémov.

Even the warm glow of Vero Wine Bar might be enough to soothe away the pains of Midtown, but it's a good start.
Let's say you work in Midtown and you'd like to stop for a drink after work and you are not a member of a frat house. Up until last week your choices in the area were severely limited. Vero Wine Bar's new midtown location (which joins its UES spot, opened in 2002) is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The wine bar is an oasis on a corner (2nd Ave at 52nd) so clogged with bars serving flat pints that anyone in the mood for something even slightly more sophisticated would hail a cab headed Uptown, or Downtown, or maybe Cleveland.
To say Vero's drink menu is extensive would be like saying the economy has hit a tiny rough spot. The wine list is 100 strong (many of them quite reasonably priced), with a ridiculous 40 wines available by the glass. And the two-page specialty drink menu is nothing to sniff at either (mojitos to strawberry basil lemonade and a full page of martinis).
Unlike the UES location, which offers small plates and bar snacks, this one has a full dinner menu in addition to panini (which are served gratis with a drink order on Mondays) and share plates such as standard antipasto and non-standard braised short rib tacos. The gnocchi with foi gras black truffle sauce is quickly becoming a house favorite.
The warm and cozy spot, designed by Garrett Singer (Klee Brasserie, SoHo Park), welcomes diners with the glow of Edison bulbs hanging over a 40-year-old heart pine bar with a slate top. The lounge area, where you'll really feel like you are away from the Midtown mess, because you know, you can't see the street, is decked out with leather couches and monochromatic pop-art canvases of seventies' icons like John Travolta and Twiggy. While these touches might not surprise anyone in say SoHo, they are enough here to make you think you've stepped through some bizarre wormhole into another dimension.


Congratulations, you've made the decision to make an investment in your future by buying a home. Now it's time to think about what you need to do as you take this big step. Noted real estate expert Barbara Corcoran shares five things with today's home buyers as you embark on the new journey known as homeownership.
Are You Prepared for the Costs Associated with Owning a Home?
If you can't even fathom the prospect of a home maintenance crisis without having a maintenance professional at your apartment community to call and fix it, you might want to reconsider home ownership. Even a lower-maintenance condo or townhome in great condition will require some work on the homeowner's behalf. (And make sure you get a home warranty, regardless!) In addition to home maintenance, property taxes and other fees are associated with homeownership. Are you prepared to deal with the other costs outside of your mortgage?
Do You Understand Your Expectations?
In a down market, there are always many choices available, and price is not the only thing that can be negotiated. So if the timing isn't right, the financing doesn't fit or closing costs are unreasonable, do not be afraid to walk away and look at the next home on your list. Set your parameters early on as to what specific time frames and certain price points you can handle. Be prepared to walk away if the terms do not work.
Remember that question I asked you earlier this week? Knowing where you are going to be in the next 5 years not only helps you decide whether renting or buying is the best choice, but it will also help you decide what kind of home you might be looking for. Should you be searching for a home that will allow for your family to grow? Should you also consider school districts or easy access to Interstates for commuting? Think about location as your life stands now and what your future will be. Homeownership is a commitment to your future. Search for a home that will grow with you.
Bigger is not always better; having the largest house in the neighborhood can even be a hurdle during resale. Should you be searching for a home that will allow for your family to grow? Make sure you consider not only your current household size but also any plans to add to your family in the near future. Household changes can make a spacious home today feel cramped down the road. More kids is obvious, but what about an elderly parent, or a large dog? Having an extra room or a fenced yard may not currently be top priorities but a little planning for these scenarios now can save you in the future.
Are All of Your Questions Answered?
It's easy to get caught up in the moments of purchasing a home. You are finding a place to create memories with your family and friends; finding a space to make your own. But before you paint that spare room the perfect shade of buttercup yellow, be sure to get all of your questions answered by the experts. Ask your real estate professional if you don't understand something, talk to your loan officer about the terms and conditions, ask the home inspector if he or she really thinks that roof can hold off for another two years. While the road to homeownership can be a fun one, make sure it's paved with knowledge you've acquired from the experts at your disposal.
