Check out http://plasmaspider.com/index.php they have lots of talent there with drawings. Guys like Jason Henry and Gary DeWitt hang out there and offer good advice.
Both signtorch (Gary) and Cascade (Jason) files cut nice on the DT and are a good value to start with to get your feet wet with DXF files. You can customize and add text and stuff to them or even combine drawings.
Did you get the we-cim/cuttingshop software?
Here is part 1 of a video tutorial series for converting bitmaps to vector art using adobe.
Thanks I'm already a member of PS, I just don't use it like I should. I know I can buy some files, but I need to be able to make them myself from hand drawn pics and such, I know it can be done.No I didn't buy We-Cim but it looks as if I need to, I just need to make some money before I spend a bunch more, I'm just trying to use the free stuff I already have. I have Adobe Illustrator I just don't know how to use it, I thought it would be easier to figure out, had to buy some books. I was looking for some shortcuts to make my learning curve less steep.
On Friday a guy came in looking to get four parts cut out of 3/4" plate. He had only a sample to go by. I took a phone pic and sent it via bluetooth to my DT computer and opened cuttingshop and "imported raster" the same phone pic. I hand traced it in two minutes and saved it as dxf, then opened in autocad to size it correctly (the slot had to be 2.1"), saved and went to we-cim, let it apply leads and exported as a cnc file. Total time from picture to cut parts was half an hour, now I was already cutting with oxy so I just used oxy for it instead of plasma.
I am sure I sound like a broken record but the premium software (we-cim/cutting shop) from DT is worth every penny and then some. The on-line training from Gary is very helpful and gets you up to speed fast. This really shortens the learning curve.
Note: when using a jpg as a raster in cutting shop, a scan is much better. I have a 11x17 flatbed that I use just for this. The dimensions are usually within a few thousandths. The phone pic will get the correct shape but is usually way off size wise, so you gotta scale it.

Abstract Wildfire and topography each have significant effects on soil biogeochemical cycles, but their interactive effects on soil nutrients remain largely unclear, hindering the precise prediction of the effects of fire on soil biogeochemical cycles in a larger spatial scale. We examined soil nutrient contents from restored grass slopes that had suffered wildfires and adjacent restored grass slopes without any wildfire. Topographic factors included slope aspects (north and south slopes) and positions (upper, middle and lower slopes). Fire significantly increased the contents of soil organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN) (0-10 cm), ammonium (NH4 (+)), and extractable phosphorous (EP), decreased the contents of nitrate (NO3 (-)) and available potassium (AK), and had minimum influence on total phosphorus (TP) content. Slope aspect and position also affected soil nutrients, with higher contents in the north slope than the south slope and at the upper slope than the lower slope. The effects of fire on soil OC, TN, and NO3 (-) were consistent across north and south slopes, but the effects on soil NH4 (+), TP, EP and AK varied with slope aspect. However, the effects of fire on soil nutrients were not influenced by slope position. These results indicate that slope aspect should be considered in predicting the response of soil biogeochemical cycles to fire.

Pla del Bages
Its Regulatory Board was consittuted in 1986. At present, it includes 773 vine growers, 12 production cellars and 12 bottling cellars. On the whole it is a cultivated land of 3,891.4255 Ha.
Raimat, a little extension but great quality, is located to the West of the city of Lérida, near the border with Huesca. Located in one of the most developed agricultural areas of the country, the land has a mild topography.
Its tradition spans for three quarters of a century and it comprises more than 1,500 ha of vineyard, with choice varieties very perfectly grown by means of careful methods of production. Its production includes very fine and delicate white wines as well as red wines with a good balance and an elegant, complex structure; and sparkling wines of great character and rich in shades.
Varieties covered by the Designation are: White: Macabeo, Xarel.lo, Parellada, Chardonnay, white Garnacha and, as authorised varieties, Riesling and white Sauvignon.
Red: Garnacha negra, Ull de Llebre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Monastrell, Trepat, Samsón, Pinot Noir and Syrah, as an authorised variety.
Geographical Situation
Raimat, Artesa, Vall de Ríu Corb and Les Garrigues are the four subareas from Lérida province included in the Designation of Origin Costers del Segre.
Artesa subarea is located North-West of the capital, in a very rough land crossed by Segre River from East to West. This wine making region has a very extreme climate: winters are specially hard and long, which forces to grow short-cycle varieties —Macabeo, Monastrelll and Cabernet Sauvignon. Production includes white, red and rosé wines.
The subareas of Vall de Ríu Corb and Les Garrigues are located in the South-East of the province. They border each other, and both of them border Tarragona province. They belong to the Ebro depression. Lands are dry, arid and have lots of sunshine that provides the vineyard with an excelent ripening and good health. Production includes white and red wines, sound and vigorous, with an important alcohol content.
White and rosé wines undergoing ageing wil need a minimum ageing period of a year.
Red wines undergoing ageing will need a minimum ageing period of two years, at least six of which in oak container.

Can Laughter Be a Prayer?
In the Old Testament, when Sarah laughed at the angel who said she'd bear a child in her old age, was she also praying?
Though Sarah's laughter may have been a symptom of unbelief, it can also be seen as an indication that laughter can be a form of prayer—one that reaches God's ears . . . and heart.
Another friend, Toni, recalls a time when she responded to God's attention with laughter. "When I was in college," she says, "I was walking around campus in a terrible mood. I was worried about everything and wondering what else could go wrong. I was praying while walking and finally felt like I needed to sit down. The sun was shining and I lifted my face and closed my eyes, still pleading with God to help me sort everything out. A popular song of the time called "Send Me an Angel" was playing in my mind. Finally, someone walking past me said, "Must be nice to sit there sunning yourself without a care in the world." I opened my eyes and laughed with her—and with God. He did indeed send me an "angel" who pretty much told me there was nothing to worry about at all!

Celebs' Health Views Sometimes Collide With Science
Thursday, 31 March 2016 08:48 AM
When celebrity and science collide, harmful side effects may occur.
The latest case happened last weekend when the Tribeca Film Festival pulled a documentary from its program by a discredited former doctor whose research into the connection between vaccines and autism has been debunked. After festival co-founder Robert De Niro initially defended the film's inclusion, Tribeca - facing an uproar from doctors and experts - pulled it.
The film, "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe," is directed by Andrew Wakefield, a former British gastroenterologist who was stripped of his medical license in 2010. The British medical journal BMJ called Wakefield's study connecting autism and vaccines - which was retracted by the Lancet, a medical journal - an "elaborate fraud."
Scientific research has consistently found the MMR vaccine (given to children for measles, mumps and rubella) to be safe and have no link to autism. Cases of measles, however, have increased in recent years, largely infecting unvaccinated people.
De Niro acknowledged he personally chose to program the film at the festival, something he had never previously done. "My intent in screening this film was to provide an opportunity for conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family," said De Niro, who, with his wife, Grace Hightower De Niro, has an 18-year-old son with autism.
No one would question that the issue is personal to De Niro. But the Tribeca Film Festival, which opens its 15th edition on April 13, is an extremely public event. When news of the documentary's scheduled screening spread, disease experts were distressed that the festival would lend its megaphone to a film by a disgraced doctor. Michael Specter, the New Yorker staff writer and medical expert, called it "a disgrace" for the festival, and compared Wakefield's film to "Leni Riefenstahl making a movie about the Third Reich."
The episode is only the latest instance of the medical community being forced to combat the influence of a celebrity promoting questionable science. It has particularly bedeviled questions over vaccinations, beginning with the anti-vaccination advocacy of TV personality Jenny McCarthy.
"Celebrities have had an out-of-proportion impact on the public's understanding of vaccine risk," says Arthur L. Caplan, head of the Division of Medical Ethics at New York University. "I don't want to overplay it; most people vaccinate. It's not like hordes of people are listening to Jenny McCarthy and saying, 'Forget the American Association of Pediatrics, I'm going with the former Playboy Bunny.'"
Jim Carrey and Rob Schneider have also spoken out against vaccines, as have some politicians. In a GOP debate last year, Donald Trump, while saying he supported them, added a story about a 2-year-old boy developing autism following vaccination.
Wakefield has vowed to press on with his film. He called the Tribeca Film Festival reversal "another example of the power of corporate interests censoring free speech, art, and truth."
Steven Silberman, author of "NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity," believes the claims of anti-vaccination campaigners are rooted in a misunderstanding of autism history. Autism isn't a historical aberration, he says, but has long been part of humanity - just less diagnosed.
"I have tremendous respect for Robert De Niro and tremendous compassion for his interest in prompting a conversation about his son's condition," says Silberman. "The problem is that if we're arguing about vaccines, we're having the wrong conversation. We should be talking about how we should give people like Robert De Niro's son a better future, one in which they can live more independently, have access to the support and resources they need, and have a chance to make a living."
Increasingly, doctors are fighting to seize the spotlight for health and medicine issues from celebrities, whose public platforms have far more reach than medical journals. Celebrities are also sought out to be spokespeople for new drugs, blurring their role. Since Milton Berle stumped in the 1950s for an antidepressant called Miltown, they've been prominent endorsers, from Jack Nicklaus for high blood pressure to Brooke Shields for thin eyelashes to Sally Field for osteoporosis.
Their influence can be considerable, sometimes for good. After Katie Couric's live on-air colonoscopy on the "Today" show in 2000, researchers recorded a nationwide increase in colonoscopies of more than 20 percent.
But often, the health advice of celebrities - well-meaning as it may be - could come with its own Surgeon General warning.
Reality star Kristin Cavallari (who has also spoken out against vaccines) recently caused a stir when she provided a homemade goat's milk baby formula recipe to People Magazine. The magazine listed it online under the section "Great Ideas" before removing it. (The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breast feeding for an infant's first six months, and warns against the dangers of homemade formulas.)
"It's part of the general impact celebrities are having on health," says Caplan. "Gwyneth Paltrow is certainly emitting an unceasing stream of hot air about many health practices, from colonics to who knows what. It's a constant battle to try to correct misperceptions."
That battle, though, can come at a cost.
"As long as we're talking about Andrew Wakefield and 'Vaxxed,'" says Silberman, "we're not talking about giving autistic people and their families happier, healthier and safer lives."

Super-resolution for medical images corrupted by heavy noise
Author(s): Dai-Viet Tran; Marie Luong; Sébastien Li-Thao-Té; Jean-Marie Rocchisani; Françoise Dibos; Thuong Le-Tien
Medical images often suffer from noise and low-resolution, which may compromise the accuracy of diagnosis. How to improve the image resolution in cases of heavy noise is still a challenging issue. This paper introduces a novel Examplebased Super-resolution (SR) method for medical images corrupted by heavy Poisson noise, integrating efficiently denoising and SR in the same framework. The purpose is to estimate a high-resolution (HR) image from a single noisy low-resolution (LR) image, with the help of a given set of standard images which are used as examples to construct the database. Precisely, for each patch in the noisy LR image, the idea is to find its nearest neighbor patches from the database and use them to estimate the HR patch by computing a regression function based on the construction of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. To obtain the corresponding set of k-nearest neighbors in the database, a coarse search using the shortest Euclidean distance is first performed, followed by a refined search using a criterion based on the distribution of Poisson noise and the Anscombe transformation. This paper also evaluates the performance of the method comparing to other state-of-the-art denoising methods and SR methods. The obtained results demonstrate its efficiency, especially for heavy Poisson noise.

Wind and solar energy are some of the best renewable energy alternatives we have today. The technology has progressed to the point where most people can install wind turbines or solar panels on their own property. The perfect investment is all about great energy production at low cost.
Research conducted by IRENA talks about the falling costs of renewable energy: The cost of solar photovoltaic electricity has fallen by 73% since 2010, and the cost of generating wind energy compared to coal power has dropped by 23%.
A 1.5 kilowatt PV system will keep more than 110,000 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere for the next 25 years.
Your solar panels may outlive you. You can rely on them for 30 plus years.
The average solar system generates a 2-3x return on investment over a 25-year period.
According to the Department of Energy, homes with solar panels are much more likely to sell, and for higher - the average added home value is about $15,000.
Additionally, many solar customers across the world benefit from buyback schemes. A typical solar energy buyback scheme allows customers to sell off their excess electricity to the utility. This helps them reduce their power bill.
Solar panels are also modular. You can expand them over time.
The price of wind power has dropped by 15% between 2009 and 2017, which makes it an interesting choice. Like solar energy, the wind is unlimited, free, and relatively easy to harness via turbines.
If given serious thought, large-scale wind energy projects, such as wind farms, have the power to help liberate the US from dependence on fossil fuels. Wind is extremely eco-friendly and when placed in the right area, can generate a ton of energy.
However, for residential homeowners, wind turbines may not be the right choice. According to most zoning restrictions, they must be 30 ft above the treeline and placed far from any property line. Turbines are also expensive and dependent on consistently windy climates.
What's the perfect alternative for you?
As compared to wind, solar energy is much easier for homeowners to get. Wind power requires zoning permits and additional land that many homeowners don't have.
What is the perfect energy alternative for you? For most residential homeowners, rooftop solar panels are often the way to go. If you have a lot of land and cash to spend, wind turbines may be worth the investment. Take a look at all the perspectives before taking the final decision.

In Search of the Rhone Rangers
Mark Spivak
If you study the history of grape growing in California, you quickly realize that Cabernet Sauvignon was not always the name of the game. Prior to the 20th century, many of the Golden State's best wines were composed of Rhône varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre. Their popularity was probably due, in part, to a realization that climate conditions in the state were closer to the Rhone Valley than to Bordeaux or Burgundy. Part of it was also due to phylloxera, the vine louse that decimated Bordeaux vineyards for several decades from 1870 onward.
Rhône varieties disappeared after Prohibition, washed away in a sea of Cabernet. But in the 1980s, a visionary group of California winemakers began planting Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Viognier. Men such as Randall Grahm, Joseph Phelps and Fred Cline became known as the Rhône Rangers. It's fair to say that the further south you go, the better the wines get, as they approach a parallel line with Vienne and Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
The next generation of Rhône Rangers is personified by Beckmen Vineyards, centered in the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara. Founded in 1994 by Tom and Judy Beckmen, the winery is run today by their son Steve. With large vineyard holdings in both the Ballard Canyon and Los Olivos AVAs, they are continuing the legacy established by the original group of trailblazers.
Their 2018 Grenache Rosé ($20) hails from Beckmen's biodynamically farmed Purisima Mountain Vineyard in Ballard Canyon. It has a pale salmon color and a sexy nose with whiffs of spice and red fruits. It dominates the palate with good acidity, generous flavors of red berries and an assertive yet pleasing texture, displaying a great balance between fruit and tannin. The finish is long and seductively lush. There's a lot of rosé on the market at the moment, both domestic and imported, but this one displays more style and substance than some other famous examples (did someone say Hampton Water?).
The 2017 Cuvée Le Bec ($21) is a candidate for the American version of Côtes du Rhone, with a blend of 47% Syrah, 35% Grenache, 11% Mourvedre and 7% Counoise. It has a dense, saturated purple color and a nose redolent of black pepper, bacon fat and crushed black fruits. The wine is smooth and graceful in the mouth, with bright acidity and flavors of stewed plums and ripe blackberries. Peppered plums linger on the long finish. A few glasses of this, and you'll fire up the grill.

Natural-looking and smooth results for laugh lines and crows feet from the Juvederm family of fillers. Vollure offers natural, soft results that last 18 months or more.
Vollure is the newest dermal filler in the Juvederm family, and it offers some of the most natural-looking, smooth results. Its unique cohesive gel formula features hyaluronic acid molecules of varying molecular weights linked together using VyCross® technology, creating a product that stretches and bounces for a naturally youthful look.
2 What Does Vollure Treat?
7.1 Will Injections with Vollure hurt? What will it feel like?
7.2 Will I need anesthesia or numbing?
7.3 Will I bruise? What happens if I bruise?
7.4 What are the alternative treatment options if I choose not to have Vollure?
7.5 How long until I see results from Vollure injections?
7.6 What is downtime and recovery like after injection?
7.7 Are Vollure Injections Safe?
7.8 How long does treatment take?
7.9 Should I have Vollure or Refyne injections?
Vollure is a new hyaluronic acid dermal filler from the Juvederm family of products.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that naturally occurs within the skin and helps hold onto water. Our stores of this molecule naturally decrease as we age, so results from these fillers are naturally youthful-looking.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be "reversed" using a chemical that metabolizes the product. New or anxious patients often feel comfortable knowing they can "undo" the results if they change their mind about the procedure.
Vollure is a new type of hyaluronic acid filler. Older products traded off between firm products that lasted longer and thinner more watery products that could be used superficially but didn't last nearly as long. Vollure offers the best of both worlds: it's very thin and flows like water, but lasts over a year and a half.
Vollure has a unique cohesive gel formulation that makes use of VyCross technology to link together hyaluronic acids of varying molecular weights. This gel is strong and flexible, allowing it to stretch and bend naturally without breaking. This is the reason this gel can stand up to areas of high movement without the short duration problems of previous filler options.
Voluma, Volbella, and Vollure make up the VyCross Family of fillers and make use of this same technology. Voluma is the firmest and bounciest of the three. Volbella is the smoothest and thinnest, offering no bounce. Vollure offers a nice mix of smoothness and a little lift, for a workhorse filler that's quickly become a favorite among our physician injectors.
Vollure was developed as a longer-lasting alternative for smile lines. This area of the face is a high-movement area. Since movement is one of the factors that makes hyaluronic acid dermal fillers break down faster, this area has always been difficult to create long-lasting results for. Vollure is specially-formulated using VyCross technology to withstand movement. This unique formulation cross-links a variety of molecular-weight hyaluronic acid molecules to create a cohesive gel that stretches and bounces without breaking during movement. The result is a long-lasting result that moves naturally.
Brenda had 3.75ml of Vollure for her smile lines (nasolabial folds).
The crow's feet is another area of the face where high movement leads to wrinkles and lines. Botox was the first injectable used to reduce lines in the crow's feet. Botox works by relaxing these muscles to limit the damage of repeated movements. But when the lines and wrinkles have already been set-in, Botox really doesn't do a good job of removing those existing wrinkles. Instead, dermal fillers can be used to smooth out the existing wrinkles. Typically this would be paired with Botox as a preventative measure.
Vollure is a particularly good choice of dermal filler for the crow's feet because it flows smoothly, like water, and that's important in areas like this with thin skin. Because Vollure is a cohesive gel, it stands up well to stretching and bounces back for a natural result that moves naturally as well.
See more of our dermal filler results by visiting our before and after gallery!
Vollure is unique among the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in its longevity in high-movement areas. You should expect your results to last a 18 months or longer. Results from hyaluronic acid fillers have been proven to be longest-lasting with the smallest amount of filler needed at future treatments when "full correction" is achieved at the first injection. In simpler terms, this means that having the full recommended amount of dermal filler injected to completely achieve your goal at the first appointment will help you save money and time in the long run, as you should require less filler at subsequent re-treatments. This often involves using several different types of fillers together to create a look that is balanced and in harmony.
Catherine had 1.4ml of Voluma in her cheeks, 2.9ml Vollure in her smile lines, and 2.2ml of Volbella in her lips and lip lines. Often, patients will need a variety of fillers used in several different areas to achieve a harmonious and naturally youthful result.
Our practice prices dermal fillers by the syringe, with additional discounts given when 2 or more syringes are purchased at the same time. A single syringe starts at $650 and ranges upward depending on the brand/type used. Individual price quotes are given during the free consultation with the injecting physician.
Our practice participates with Brilliant Distinctions rewards, in addition to offering our own Reflections Rewards program. This makes Vollure even more affordable at our practice. Learn More about our Reward Plus Program here.
Will Injections with Vollure hurt? What will it feel like?
Injections with Vollure don't hurt very much at all. This is because Vollure comes mixed with lidocaine, a numbing medicine. So while you will feel the initial pin-prick of the injection, you're unlikely to feel much after that. The area will stay numb for a few hours following injection.
Those who are concerned or particularly sensitive can request additional pre-injection numbing injections with lidocaine or can use ice prior to injection to numb the treatment area (avoiding the initial pin-prick of Vollure).
Vollure comes pre-mixed with lidocaine, a numbing medicine. Most patients do not need additional numbing, or anesthetic. However, we do have lidocaine injections and ice packs available.
Our practice takes every precaution to avoid bruising with dermal filler injections. We use Accuvein, a special light technology that allows our doctors to visualize your veins prior to injection, and we use blunt-tip cannulas whenever possible to inject Vollure. A blunt-tip cannula is a small tube with a blunt tip that can easily push through tissues and around blood vessels without harming them, to inject Vollure without using a needle. This technique may not be ideal for some treatment areas, depending on the individual's anatomy.
What are the alternative treatment options if I choose not to have Vollure?
Vollure is most similar to Restylane's Refyne and Defyne dermal fillers. However, depending on the individual's anatomy, our physician injectors may recommend other dermal fillers, such as Volbella, Juvederm Ultra XC, Bellafill, Belotero, Sculptra, Radiesse, or Restylane as a better match for the result you're looking to achieve. Our skill lies in matching each patient with the best possible treatment for their needs, to create a natural result.
How long until I see results from Vollure injections?
Vollure's full results are seen immediately. This is not always the case with dermal fillers and is not true of Voluma and Juvederm, which are hydrophilic, meaning they absorb and hold onto more water over time. Because Vollure's real results are visible as they are injected, this product allows for a level of precision very few other products can come close to.
There will be some swelling from your injections which typically resolves in a few days to a week, which can obscure your results at first. Often, especially with lip injections, we have patients call us the day after their injections very worried. It is typical to have some swelling the day after. This will resolve within a few days, and patients usually find they are extremely happy with the end result after this swelling resides. Should you find you are not, Vollure can be "reversed" using an enzyme injection.
Vollure has been approved by the FDA for its safety and efficacy. This means it has been studied in variety of individuals to ensure it is safe and effective for all skin types and a variety of concerns. The FDA clinical studies were focused around correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds in adults over the age of 211. So while it is technically "off-label" to inject other parts of the face, we consider this to be a safe use of this product because it is so similar to a handful of other hyaluronic acid fillers which have been used for years to inject throughout the face.
Should I have Vollure or Refyne injections?
Schedule your complimentary consultation with one of our skilled physician injectors to discuss Vollure, or any other procedure(s).


Luke 6:36-37 – Be ye therefore merciful, as your father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
It's interesting how, in an effort to grow as disciples, we will work to apply these biblical principles to our life as it relates to everyone but ourselves. As much as we attempt not to judge or condemn others, we often instead beat our own selves up. But, in desiring to grow, we have to realize that forgiveness of others cannot trump forgiveness of self; that, we will never fully grasp the concept of mercy until we are able to apply it to our own heart, growth in the lord requires us to understand that, to esteem others better than ourselves doesn't mean that we treat ourselves worse than others. It's a process; be kind to yourself.

Interpretive Summary: Honey bees rely on a variety of defense mechanisms to reduce disease infection and spread throughout the colony. Hygienic behavior, resin collection, and production of antimicrobial compounds are some examples of defenses that bees use against parasites. Many of these defenses rely on the collective action of multiple individuals to prevent, reduce or eradicate pathogens—often referred as social immunity. Glucose oxidase (GOX) is an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, a compound with antiseptic properties. GOX and some antimicrobial peptides (e.g. Defensin-1) are secreted by the hypopharyngeal gland of bees to help sterilize food (e.g., honey) and are included as part of the glandular secretions fed to developing larvae. Whether or not nurse bees increase in the amount of GOX they produce, and presumably feed to larvae, when the colony is infected by pathogens is currently unclear. This research aimed to address that question see to what level GOX is used as a type of social immunity or colony-level defense against pathogens.
Technical Abstract: Honey bees rely on a variety of defense mechanisms to reduce disease infection and spread throughout the colony. Hygienic behavior, resin collection, and antimicrobial peptide production are some examples of defenses that bees use against parasites (Evans & Spivak, 2010 J Invertebr Pathol 103:S62). Many of these defenses rely on the collective action of multiple individuals to prevent, reduce or eradicate pathogens—often referred as 'social immunity' (Cremer et al., 2007 Curr Biol 17:R693). Glucose oxidase (GOX) is an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, a compound with antiseptic properties. GOX and some antimicrobial peptides (e.g. Defensin-1) are secreted by the hypopharyngeal gland of bees to help sterilize food (e.g., honey) and are present as part of the glandular secretions fed to developing larvae. Because of their antiseptic properties and presence in larval food and colony food stores, GOX, in particular, has been used as a "biomarker" for social immunity (Alaux et al., 2010 Environ Microbiol 12:774). However, the direct role that GOX has as a colony-level immune mechanism has not previously been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate if GOX production increases at the colony level after pathogen exposure to determine if they are compounds that can be induced in worker bees to protect larvae from infection. Specifically, we tested whether GOX activity changes after a colony-level bacterial infection by American Foulbrood (AFB, Paenibacillus larvae). We quantified GOX activity in 7 day old and 14 day old honey bee adults before and after bacterial infection using enzymatic assays and transcript expression quantification. We did not detect a change in GOX enzymatic activity between control and AFB infected bees 7 day old (F= 0.01, P= 0.923) or 14 day old (F= 0.116, P= 0.752) bees (see Figure). These results were corroborated by the gene expression data (F= 0.007, P= 0.936). Overall, our results indicate that (1) level of GOX production is not induced by exogenous infections in honey bees and may be an example of how mechanisms of individual immune defense can be co-opted to function as an immune mechanism at the colony level, and (2) GOX assays may not be suitable as a general biomarker of social immunity.


Essentially the same basic concept as Surrell's Haunted Mansion book. The first section covers development, the second the ride as it exists today, and the third covers the movie. Good info, and good images. The ride coverage works better here than it did in the Haunted Mansion book. The Disneyland Paris version of the ride is (of course) different, but not as different as Phantom Manor is from the Haunted Mansion. I liked the movie section much better in this book, for the very simple reason that Pirates of the Caribbean is a far better movie than The Haunted Mansion. Naturally, this will be most appreciated by Disneyphiles, especially fans of the Pirates ride. And since I'm both, I greatly enjoyed it.

Q: Rails action cables broadcast once and transmitting multiple times using async I am developing a server validated hive board game with rails and having a issue with using action cables with async set for development. I see in the terminal the server broadcasts once and transmits the same message around 30 times. Is this normal behavior? Should I be using async for this sort of task? Also, is it possible to force rails to only transmit once? I have tried implementing a simple client side state system so the first transmission makes a change that the following transmission will see and do nothing but it appears as though sometimes another transmission is processed before the state is effected.

In accordance with the rules of the race, the drivers are allowed to switch teams. In this case they can keep the points gained earlier in the individual ratings. Sergey Ryabov and Vyacheslav Maleev had excercised this right in the previous race. The drivers united, and their co-drivers Yuriy Makushin and Vladimir Nikolaev receivd an opportunity to gain experience of driving alone. This time Vadim Sokolov also drove alone. His co-driver Vitaliy Dudin participated in the Russian National Rallycross Championship that was taking place place in Kazan on the same weekend.
Kirill Ladygin and Mikhail Maleev's team, who showed the best time in the qualification, started the first race from the pole position. However, the Saturday race was won by Sergey Ryabov and Vyacheslav Maleev, who added 25 points each plus 1 point each for the best lap time to their individual ratings. Loboda brothers' team came in second in the first race of the LADA Granta Cup fifth stage, followed by the team of Ladygin and Maleev.
On Sunday Ladygin and Maleev regained their leadership. They scored 25 points each plus 1 point each for the best lap time. The second and third positions in the second race were taken by the following teams: Rustam Akiniyazov – Ilia Kamensky and Sergey Ryabov – Vyacheslav Maleev, respectively.
As a result of the five stages of the LADA Granta Cup Kirill Ladygin became the leader of the individual ratings with 177 points. The second place in the individual ratings went to Vyacheslav Maleev with 130 points. The third place is occupied by Mikhail Maleev who gained 110 points. Loboda brothers were on the fourth place, with 101 points each.
The sixth stage of LADA Granta Cup will be held in Kazan at the new Kazan Ring circuit on September 16-18.


This is much more of a personal blog as I make sense of what I'm feeling in relation to a big move coming up.
Moving. Some say it can be a very stressful time.
It's a very exciting time. Something my husband and I have been saving for, working towards with the help of family providing us with reduced expenditure supporting us to save, to be in a position to buy.
We've done it. We exchanged just recently. All these words and sayings related to moving I didn't really understand are now terms I'm learning. It's been an interesting experience.
I'm really proud of my husband and I. Last year the wedding and now this. We've been living with my family for over 3 years now. On the whole it's been amazing. Though there's been many a time it pushed me to my limit because I need my space, especially when I'm struggling and I get embarrassed, not wanting others to see me suffering. I then just want to hibernate and I don't want any questions asked as I don't have the answers. Also, as a couple, I just wanted us to have space and privacy. Yet on the whole it's been incredible. We've always been a close family but living in our communal home we got closer. It was amazing how my husband became such a key member of our family household too, adopted as one of our own, how I feel in his. What our wedding definitely showed.
I'm so proud of us and I'm so proud of my family. My siblings who set examples for me. That make my heart fuzzy with their own growth and change, where they are in life navigating new chapters too.
It's got me thinking. About them. About me. About how much time has passed now. How the milestone of it being over half way without mum, and look at us, living our lives. Moving on?
Part of moving out requires sorting out. In the midst of a Marie Kondo takeover the world is fascinated by – Kon Mari – I've already approached the dilemma of the sentimental pile.
If you're lucky enough to have a family/parental home you might still even have your own room or belongings your guardians (no matter how old you are!) keep for you. Certificates. Your first drawing. Etc etc. I've got some of mine. I've also got some of mum's. What do I do with them? Can I let go? Do I need to? Do I need to sort it all out now just because I'm moving out, do I have to move on? Am I ready?
When I first learned I'd be moving soon I had this lovely airy fairy ideal of me only taking 'joyous' items to the new place and letting go of older ones that no longer serve me. Yet when it comes to these, I'm not sure. I'm not ready. Not ready to part with it yet.
I found my school reports recently from the years after mum died. I reflected on the teachers' different opinions of me and interpretation of how well or badly I was doing. Some compassionate. Some brutal with their words. Do I need to hold on to these? It made me think about my work and how many other young people are struggling and just doing their best to get by in school and they're usually the labelled kids. It's not all about the grades.
I got to see mum's handwriting in some documents I found. I don't have her beautiful voice on voicemail or messages but I love her swirly writing. It's like mine. Her doodles. I make sense of her through her writing. I imagine her voice through her words. She comments back on my primary school reports. Proud.
I find a card apologising for when I called her a name. Judging from my writing I was very young. I find a birthday card telling her I love her more than anything. Handmade. Sweet like a child's hand made card would be. Precious.
As I embark on this new journey I wander what I'll be taking with me. What memories do I want as I create my own.
Do I take it all? Do I let go of the more painful? Or is that part of me, part of the journey. Or is it time to move on…move passed.
I'm about to make my own sanctuary with the man I love. I'll take learning from the family I love and how they made a house a home. An open door.
One of the most powerful questions I got asked for a recent documentary I will feature in, where we discussed my suicide bereavement was whether I consider it part of my identity. My thoughts on this have changed. Changed with the grief. Changed with the growth. I link this question to the question of what I'll be carrying with me. Into my new home. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it. Perhaps it will set me free.
Moving home doesn't have to equate to moving on. But there are pros as much as cons to whatever direction I treat this move.
There's a lot more I can say on this but it's late.
For now, here's chapter one on my moving thoughts. Moving thoughts on moving.
