In the crossfire
05.07.12 Marine Casalis
This is a review of Samar Yazbek's book A Woman in the Crossfire: Diaries of the Syrian Revolution. Mashallah News recently met with her in Paris; read that interview here.
Damascus, March 16, 2011. Samar Yazbek participates in a protest in front of the Interior Ministry building. As soon as she faces the violence brought on by a crackdown on protestors, her life is turned upside down. Once a writer, she has now become a militant. Using words as weapons, recounting the revolution as it unfolds, this is now her sole mission.
From March to July 2011, the Syrian novelist collected personal testimonies of activists, protestors, state journalists and even soldiers, from cities such as Banyas, Lattakia, Homs, Hama, Jisr al-Shughur, Jableh, and Damascus. The terror of the repression in Syria is exposed, brutal, violent.
Samar Yazbek condemns the methods — the rumours, the hatred fueled between the different communities, and the reawakening of long buried grievances — by which the Assad regime tries to ensure that community conflict becomes true. Week after week, on the ground or from her apartment in Damascus, she collects and assembles eyewitness accounts. Among them, she finds no evidence of hate speech or fighting among communities; during the first few days of the revolution, Alawites and Christians equally participated in the protests. "This is the people's revolution for dignity. This is the uprising of a brutalised people wishing to liberate itself from humiliation. That's how the uprising in Syria broke out."
The writer is caught in the crossfire: she belongs to the Alawite community but is, at the same time, is committed to the opposition. "The murderers and I are from the same city. Some of their blood flows in my veins." Born in 1970 in Jableh, a coastal city in Northeastern Syria, from an Alawite family connected to the Assad regime, Samar Yazbek has unleashed the fury of her clan. In her home region people have been distributing pamphlets threatening her with death.
After anonymous phone calls and threats, the author has been placed under strict surveillance. In May, blindfolded, she was taken to a detention center, her first "exit to hell." Because she is an Alawite and because her work continuously disrupts the version of events put forward by the regime, she is forced to "visit" the place and see its horrors. "It was like human beings were just pieces of flesh on display, an exhibition of the art of murder and torture that was all for show."
Released by the executioners who cannot incarcerate her without jeopardising the allegations of an Alawite-Sunni clash, she returns many times. "Blood coursed down their bodies: fresh blood, dried blood, deep wounds carved all over them, like the strokes of an abstract painter. Their faces hung downwards, in a state of unconsciousness, swinging there like sides of beef."
She is also caught in this crossfire because her cause is not always understood or accepted. Several isolated voices of the opposition refuse to accept her cause. Others say they are disappointed by her silence. The writer and journalist does not remain silent but she is discrete, in order to protect herself, her daughter, and those she interviews. "All the young men I meet with say the same thing and then disappear."
The writer-activist is participating in the formation of several coordinated committees. With a group of female Alawites, she recorded a video against the Bashar al-Assad regime at the end of June 2011.
Such a chronicle of the revolution is also the very private journal of a woman who lapses into the solitude and whose grip on reality has changed her. One smells the odour of the cigarettes she smokes when she trembles when writing this book.
In this mise-en-abîme, the young woman sees herself as a stranger. "I am just an idea, a character in a novel. I drink my coffee and believe that I am only thinking about a woman I'll write about one day. I am a novel. I am living through a more realistic novel than I could ever write. […] I observed myself going into the house, a woman caught somewhere between life and death. I saw her toss a bunch of keys on the table and then light up her cigarette. The woman closed her eyes and put the blindfold back on, as though she were on stage, and those images of the mutilated bodies returned."
Samar Yazbek has discovered the reality of violence, its physical reality, a reality she never anticipated and from which she is struggling to recover: "When did the human body turn into a lethal killing machine?" The stories end in July 2011, the month during which she fled from Damascus. Disgusted by the silence of many Syrian intellectuals, she blames them: "Today, those who remain silent are accomplices to the crime."

Before enrolling at Empire College, Dillon was a firefighter. However, because he is a single dad who had full custody of a baby, he needed to train for a different career, fast. That is why he went to Sonoma Works and enrolled in one of Empire's shorter, evening programs that included an externship.
That externship was in Urgent Care at Sutter Health and turned out to be a perfect fit for him, resulting in him being offered his job as a medical assistant in the float pool.
Dillon and his supervisor, Michele Wilson, shared the following feedback about Dillon's transition from college to the Sutter workplace.
"Last year we went from 8 to 22 medical assistants in the float pool. I utilize our recent hires for recommendations for job candidates. We have had nothing but good experiences with Empire College externs and graduates," said Michele, who recounted a list of recent Empire hires.
Dillon stated that he had no difficulty making the transition from school to work. He credits his instructor Nancy Stuart with "solidifying the Empire experience" for him. Dillon felt comfortable with his injection, phlebotomy, and urinalysis skills. He learned how Sutter handles things administratively on the job.
In keeping with his observation that healthcare is a field in which one can keep moving up, Dillon is currently going to the JC to complete his general education in preparation to pursue his next goal of becoming a physician's assistant.


My co-host from The Midnight Drive-In Podcast Noah drops in and we sit down to talk some Justice League. What's good? What's bad? What just all around doesn't make sense? After that we do talk some comics. There is a spoiler section so feel free to listen until the spoiler warning goes up if you are wanted to avoid spoilers.
It's crybaby episode part two, but things are heating up and people are quickly heading to the Redemption House. The Challenge may have been lackluster, but the elimination was intense and crazy. We're winding down this season and are excited to see how these alliances have shaken up.
I'm joined by the guys from The Graveyard Duck Podcast to talk about the newest console from Nintendo the Nintendo Switch. We go over what we initially thought of the console, some of the games we've played, and just the use of the switch in general.

I grabbed my co-hosts from Challenged and we sat down to talk about this season of The Walking Dead. One of us loved this season, one of us hated this season, and one of us was indifferent. Things also take a weird turn as this was the second podcast we recorded this night and were already well into our stock of alcohol at this point. It gets weird.
For the first episode of the official Geek Nerdery Podcast we take a look at what is coming to the cinemas for the rest of 2017. What are we excited about? What are we not? Also we chat about some films we've already seen so far this year.

"I enjoy going back to Lorain, Ohio because I'm reminded that the world of Washington and the East Coast literary establishment is a very narrow, special one that's parochial in its own way. The rest of the world has other concerns: family, job and life in general. Whereas we get all up in arms about very minor things."
Pulitzer Prize-winning book reviewer Michael Dirda rejoins the show to talk about his new collection, Browsings: A Year of Reading, Collecting, and Living with Books (Pegasus Books). We discuss the importance of reading for pleasure, the difference between book-collecting and shopping, the role of the book reviewer (and how it differs from that of the critic), a recent negative review he didn't want to write, why he doesn't read reviews of his work, what his mother said when he won the Pulitzer Prize, and more! Give it a listen!
"The books that you don't grasp immediately, the ones that leave you off-kilter . . . those are often the books that really last, and matter."
Our first three-time guest also talks about the democratization of book reviewing, the problems of storing books in his basement, what he wants an author to think upon reading his book review of a book, his affinity for Clive James' work, whether his reviews have a coded autobiographical element to them, how the limitations of the book review form shaped his style, why he disagrees with John Clute's philosophy on spoilers, and more!

Matt Farber – The Magic Circle
http://traffic.libsyn.com/virtualmemories/Episode_106_-_The_Magic_Circle.mp3
"You don't want a generation of children to be content consumers. They need to be the next generation of content creators."
Educator (and high school pal) Matthew Farber joins the show to talk about his new book, Gamify Your Classroom: A Field Guide to Game-Based Learning . We talk about edutainment's bad rep, developing good games for students, getting getting buy-in from faculty, administration and — most importantly — students, the subjects that benefit most from game-based learning, and why Pandemic is the best game he's ever used to teach. I also vent about how primitive the technology was when Matt & I were in school, compared to having 3-D printers in the classroom nowadays. Oh, and we get around to dismissing Roger Ebert's claim that games are not art! Give it a listen!
"A project isn't good if it's each student doing his own thing and glue-sticking it to poster-board."
We went out for pizza after. There are perks to recording a podcast at Chez Virtual Memories!

Library of America: Fuck Yeah!
Library of America was having a 20% off sale a few weeks ago. Also, they discount the books on their site AND they're a non-profit doing the Lord's work, so I kinda splurged.
If necessary, I can explain myself:
Thoreau – Walden – I never read it, and there's a seminar on it this May at St. John's College.
Dos Passos – USA trilogy – I never read it and who knows?
Saul Bellow – They were selling all 4 collections of Saul Bellow's novels as a group for $115 (before the 20% discount), and I figured I need to add more heft to my 20th century Jewish writers shelf, alongside Philip Roth, Bruce Jay Friedman, Bernard Malamud, Joseph Heller and James Salter (nee Horowitz).
Susan Sontag – Essays of the 1960s & 70s – I never read her, and really have to correct that.
Philip Roth – Nemeses (novels 2006-2010) – I own these books separately, but I have the rest of the Roth L.O.A. collections, and I'm a completist.
Writing Los Angeles: A Literary Anthology – it was only $9.95, and I'm now interested in LA after a my trips there this year.
Why don't you come by and check out the library sometime? And go buy some books from the Library of America!

Podcast: My Old School
Virtual Memories – season 2 episode 6
David Townsend – My Old School
http://traffic.libsyn.com/virtualmemories/Season_2_Episode_6_-_My_Old_School.mp3
The June episode of The Virtual Memories Show is ready to go! Around Memorial Day, I took a little vacation to my alma mater, St. John's College, for a seminar on Flannery O'Connor, and got to interview two of my favorite tutors: David Townsend and Tom May.
Because they both had so much to talk about, I decided to split this month's show into two parts. This episode has my conversation with David Townsend, and it's a remarkable take on education in America, the nature of good conversation, and the poetry of the Koran (among other topics)!
Check out the followup episode, in which tutor Tom May talks about a dizzying array of topics. There are also episodes with tutors Peter Kalkavage (2014) and Eva Brann (2013)!
If you're interested in seeing some of Annapolis, check out my photoset from that trip!

5 Costly Homepage Design Mistakes That New Users Can Spot Instantaneously!
A site's homepage is the hub of a company's web activities—a reception area guiding new and existing users to the next web page. It's unfortunate then that 94% of website feedback cites poor web design and a majority of this critique is for homepage design.
For website designers, time is not on their side. According to a study, online first impressions greatly impact a user's purchase decision—in just 2.6 seconds!
Since new visitors are going to judge the credibility of your website in a matter of seconds, it makes sense to use effective homepage design strategies.
In other words, your homepage should not look like it was built in the early 2000's. It should facilitate the user on their journey to exploring your brand.
Here are the top 5 most costly homepage design mistakes that a new user can spot from a mile away.
This might be the biggest offender on the list of web design no-nos. Although it's true that both graphics and text are important components of a homepage's design, many designers focus too much on the graphics alone.
The header on a site's homepage is usually the first thing a visitor's eyes land on. When designers don't make it clear what the company's products and services are, they leave their potential customers frustrated and ready to bounce.
They should instantly be able to tell what sets you apart from your competitors. If you want favorable customer judgments on your homepage, put confidence-building tools such as industry affiliates, testimonials, awards, etc. on display along with your offerings.
This error will cost you customer engagement and conversion rates—something that no website owner wants. A website's homepage needs to give clear directions to new users about which web page to click on next.
This cannot be emphasized enough. Remember that the top navigation bar is not going to outline the reasons a user should head to a particular web page—that's the job of a well-crafted Call To Action (CTA).
The best practice is to keep the CTA above the fold. This allows new users to instantly go to your preferred flagship product, service, or the latest SEO blog post.
Once you've included an attractive call to action, it's time to capture the leads' contact information. It's unlikely that a potential customer will buy from you without an incentive, though.
When asking for a new user's contact details, don't underestimate the influence of a tempting offer in your sales strategy. Businesses forget to do this far too often.
Your offers could be in the form of discounts and/or free trials. Other popular options are free delivery or a free e-book or video on the first order. The goal here is to not only collect a lead's contact information, but to also get them to make that first order comfortably.
Let's be clear; there's nothing wrong with using stock photos—as long as they look like they were taken in this decade. This is the secret to creating a modern yet timeless homepage design. Unfortunately, it is a secret that may be too well kept from some designers.
Overly cliché images in non-HD quality (to make matters worse) will have your users hitting the back button faster than you can say bad design. Such images on the homepage—or any other web page—simply don't cut it anymore.
Designers should only be incorporating high-quality, original images to a site to make it look professional and a cut above the rest.
It doesn't matter if you want your customers to get in touch with you via phone, contact form, email, or carrier pigeon. Whatever medium you choose, make sure it's placed in a prominent position for your users.
Feature a clickable email address or phone number on the homepage and other web pages. This is so that a new user doesn't need to file through the entire page to send a query or a purchase order. For this purpose, a live chat feature is a great option to add to your homepage.
Give your visitors more than two options that they can choose from based on their preference. Don't overwhelm them with too many communication channels, though.
These were just a few homepage design mistakes people make. There are a lot more; like not making your design mobile-friendly, intrusive company logos, lack of unique selling points, and more.

Denny Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Liz Nielsen, Wolf Moon, running from January 29 through March 8, 2015. This is the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Liz Nielsen's work is a contemporary application of one of the best known and most engaging avant-garde photographic processes, the photogram, whereby an image is created without a camera by placing objects directly onto photographic paper and exposing them to light. Nielsen dislocates the photogram from its historic time period and even from its relationship to photography in the traditional sense, as defined by the notion that an image or impression of an object would be affixed to the paper. Nielsen creates handmade negatives with transparent color gels, which she applies in bold shapes and layers to create shifts in form and color. It is a negative process, so that colors are reversed. It has taken many years of dedicated darkroom experimentation to layer the overlapping shapes so that a subtle color results instead of pure white. The resulting unique chromogenic prints in Wolf Moon are singed with red from leaked light in the darkroom and populated by abstract shapes reminiscent of terrestrial and extraterrestrial forms. The light that beams down to expose the photograph is the invisible character of this body of work, witnessed by the moons and asteroids and mountains suspended in the black space of the image.
Liz Nielsen was born in Wisconsin in 1975 and lives and works in New York City. She received a M.F.A. in Photography at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a B.F.A from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Nielsen's work has been exhibited extensively in Chicago, New York, and Berlin; her work has been featured in solo exhibitions at Schalter Gallery (Berlin), Benrimon Contemporary (New York City), Interlochen Center for the Arts (Interlochen, MI) and concurrently at Laurence Miller Gallery (New York). Nielsen's work has been reviewed in the New York Times, Artslant, Hyperallergic, and the Wall Street Journal.
Please join us for an opening reception for the artist, Liz Nielsen, on Thursday, January 29, from 6 to 8 p.m.


i`m new in avr and have few information about PWM.
please help me how to generate it...which PWM mode i have to use?... which avr model i have to use?(mega 128 with 6 PWM?or another)...and another questions!!
How about the AVR model that is made for this: AT90PWM3, with complementary outputs and dead-time generator?
There are app notes and other information on Atmel's site in the Motor Control area of the AVR section.
The PSC can be chained and synchronized to provide a configuration to drive three half bridges. Thanks to this feature it is possible to generate a three phase waveforms for applications such as Asynchronous or BLDC motor drive.
We need more info. What is the frequency? Is the duty fixed or variable? What resolution?
A 3 phase inverter is a pretty ambitious project for a beginner. You might want to try starting with something simpler, and safer, and work your way up to it.
I don't understand why you would need pulse-width modulation to make the waveforms shown in the image. It would appear that there are six square waves being generated and none of them are having their pulse width being modulated.
There aren't going to be any glitches or tiny spikes if the pin output isn't changing on a given timer interrupt.
Attach the output port pins to transistors or MOSFETs to drive the motor or device.
Is this the only waveform that that the device needs? Or must the waveforms be rounded or sine shaped?
Which is precisely why I asked for more info.
A common 3-phase motor would be driven by 3 sine waves, 120 degrees apart. Conventionally, it would take three sine inverters, driven by 3 PWMs which are generated from a common sine lookup table having three pointers or indices to the table, each 120 degrees apart within the table as they shift through the table.
Being a three phase inverter, it is about three half bridges. When you drive a half bridge, you need a dead time, because the switches are faster to turn on then turn off. So, using just a port, you will end with 'hard switching'.
Plus, the cpu will be busy with changing the outputs six times the output frequency. If the output frequency is high, then the waves will be distorted.
AT90PWM3 will do the job without cpu involved, except for changing the duty cycle, protections.
Sigh--only two of us have recommended the AVR model that is purpose-built for the task, and has reference design(s) on Atmel's Web site.
Now that I know you actually need PWM, I too recommend one of the AT90PWM AVR's they are specifically built for this task.
@Lee: was just waiting for more detail. As the provided waveform did not illustrate the need for PWM at all.
True enough, and at 50Hz that would be 300Hz interrupts--no big deal. And it is so slow that a hair of jitter will be caught up and no harm done.
Have we determined whether this is a motor/h-bridge app or a power inverter?
It is possible to use 3 PWM and generate the deadband alternate signals in hardware.
IR2131 (with current measurement) and FAN7388 (cheaper w/o current) are excellent drivers for 3-phase.
Fairchild has a series cost effective transistor (module) bridges for mains voltage, the "Smart Power Modules".

Q: views will not bind with data I'm using View model and DataBinding. I have some data which is fetched from server and should be passed to ui. there for I wrote this view model class:

class ProfileViewModel(val context: Context) : ViewModel() {

    private val viewModelJob = Job()
    private val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main + viewModelJob)
    val name = MutableLiveData<String>()
    val subscription = MutableLiveData<String>()
    val followers = MutableLiveData<String>()
    val following = MutableLiveData<String>()
    val signals = MutableLiveData<String>()
    val image = MutableLiveData<String>()

    fun getUserInfo() {
        scope.launch {
            withContext(Dispatchers.Default) {
                val request =
                    JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, Address().UserInfoAPI, null,
                        Response.Listener {
                            name.value = it.getString("name")
                            image.value = it.getString("image")
                            subscription.value = it.getString("subscription")
                            followers.value = it.getString("followers")
                            following.value = it.getString("following")
                            signals.value = it.getString("signals")
                        }, Response.ErrorListener {
                            Log.i("Log", "error $it")
                        })

                val queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context)
                queue.add(request)
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onCleared() {
        super.onCleared()
        scope.cancel()
    }
}

and I have used this view model in my xml layout like this:
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <data>

        <variable
            name="viewModel"
            type="com.app.main.profile.ProfileViewModel" />
    </data>

<!--- this is just one sample of my elements------>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@{viewModel.name}"
            android:textAppearance="@style/vazir_font"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/avatarHolder" />

</layout>

and here is my Fragment code:

class ProfileFragment : Fragment() {

    private lateinit var binding: FragmentProfileBinding

    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {
        binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.fragment_profile, container, false)
        return binding.root
    }

    override fun onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState)

        val factory = ProfileViewModelFactory(context!!)
        val viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this, factory).get(ProfileViewModel::class.java)

        viewModel.getUserInfo()
        binding.viewModel = viewModel

        binding.exit.setOnClickListener {
            Utils(context!!).isLoggedIn = false
        }
    }

}

my problem is the TextViews will not fill with server response and they remain empty.
how can I solve this problem?

A: After the binding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(inflater, R.layout.fragment_profile, container, false) Try to add the following :
binding.lifecycleOwner = this

It should fix the issue.

A: Try it,
I think you forgot, the name is MutableLiveData. If we want to access then need to name.value.
<TextView
                android:id="@+id/name"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="@{viewModel.name.value}"
                android:textAppearance="@style/vazir_font"
                app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/avatarHolder" />

An Immunostimulating polysaccharide was produced from the suspension culture of Angelica gigas H4, plant cells. In order to enhance the polysaccharide production by the A. gigas cell culture, medium composition and physical conditions were optimized. Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) medium was selected as an optimal basal medium for the growth of A. gigas. The maximum cell and polysaccharide concentration obtained in SH medium were 15.8 g DCW/l and 0.85g polysaccharide/l, respectively, at 25°C under dark condition. For the enhanced polysaccharide production, a polysaccharide production medium (PPM) was established by modifying Gamborg B5 medium with optimized carbon sources, growth regulators, organic and inorganic elements. Optimal initial pH and temperature were 6.0-6.6 and 20°C, respectively, and the dark condition was better than the light condition. The maximum polysaccharide concentration of 1.5 g/l could be obtained through the optimization of the medium composition and physical conditions.


I'm Beverly. Having been with The Co-operators for 24 years, I am confident of the value and security behind the products we provide to our clients. Being on the "other" side of the desk and seeing how the policies respond and assist makes me proud to work with this company. I am the Insurance/Financial Advisor/Owner of this Co-operators agency. As a Financial Advisor, I specialize in Life insurance, income protection, such as disability and/or Critical Illness insurance and investments, including TFSAs, RESPs and registered savings, as well as Health and Dental Plans for individuals and groups. I also take care of Business insurance.
After retiring from my 38-year career in the retail grocery industry, I am now working part time here at the agency to support the staff, book client appointments and to market our Business insurance to the local businesses. I also get to keep my eye out for ways we can support our community.
I was wondering what might become of this as certainly the initial reports did lead us to think the roofers were responsible!!
Not sure how she managed to do it with the time she spends at her Insurance Business, but Beverly managed to receive the Volunteer of the Year Award from the Sackville Business Association. Congratulations Beverly!!
Due to power outage in the Lower Sackville area our agency is closed. N.S. Power is estimating restoration at noon. We'll re-open as soon as possible.

Marc Farnsworth (left) took the Professional title, Craig Lakin (above) cleaned up in the Amateur.
With a sob and a sniff the IPA Pool tour came to an exciting end last weekend down in Brighton at the Hilton Metropole with the Myracing.com sponsored British Open, Amateur and Professional events played to the more popular blackball rules that keep the game both fast and furious.
160 or so of the finest cueists in both the United Kingdom and abroad descended on the popular Sussex town looking for both prize money and recognition in the sport that they love, and make no mistake, these players just love their game and compete at e very opportunity they get. With twenty-two tables in the one room the noise of pool ball on pool ball can be a cacophony but it only makes for a superb atmosphere as some players (like me) dream of actually winning a frame), while others have far more realistic hopes of carrying away a trophy. Players from France Ireland Scotland Wales and Gibraltar all competed in the double elimination format, the most southern venue of the five IPA events but then again, with league after league switching across to blackball rules, there is a need to spread the tour geographically wider.
On to the pool now, and with the free HD livestreaming via the website (www.ipapool.com) available to anyone, pool players fans or interested parties got a great idea of what it is all about and hopefully got the bug for one of the few sports anyone can play (pop down your local pub, most will be the same table as we use, red and yellows, and the same set of rules), and that's the why we like to think about pool – easy to play, but difficult to master, but as always, each event could only have the one winner.
The Open drew to its conclusion first with an all Welsh final of Simon Ward v Jordan Shepherd, two quality combatants who play to win, but invariably entertain the crowd at the same time. After racing in to a 2-0 lead Simon was soon pegged back as Jordan went on a run of classy finishes to build up at 5-2 lead after taking a handful of frames in a row to the delight of his raucous fans, though class is permanent and Simon fought back as you would expect to get to 5-4, before Jordan took the last two frames to rack up a 7-4 victory and add another trophy for his overloaded mantelpiece.
On Sunday we had not one but two finals as the Amateurs took centre stage, though the normally reliable Luke Sanges never got a look in against Craig Lakin who deservedly ran away with it 6-1, though we all know Luke will be back and is too good a player to let this affect him in the long term – just a combination of "not his day" and Craig in blistering form and in a hurry to get home!
The last final was, for many, the most important as the professionals lined up to battle to the finish, and Kristian Phillips versus Marc Farnsworth bin a race to nine. With no real benefit in offering up a frame by frame account, suffice to say that Marc walked away triumphant after a thrilling 9-6 victory that showcased everything that is good about 8 ball pool, thrilling the thousands tuned in on line who lived their every shot.
All that was left to do after handing out the prizes was to pack everything away ready for the World Championships in Bradford next February and then the 2016 tour – and accept all the plaudits for another brilliant event that proved to anyone in the sport that the IPA Tour is the business, and the only place for the top players to test their mettle.
Interested in pool? Registrations are being taken NOW for the 2016 season and the World Championships via www.ipapool.com, why not join in and give it a go, new players are always welcome?
thecueview would like to thank all the IPA team for their permission to use their articles and photographs provided.


Seattle Genetics is gunning for a front-line approval for Adcetris in advanced Hodgkin lymphoma.
ATLANTA—With full data out from a trial of Seattle Genetics' Adcetris in advanced, first-line classical Hodgkin lymphoma, company officials are looking for a new FDA approval early next year. But at least one analyst is iffy about the treatment's prospects.
Sunday at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting, the biotech presented data showing that the benefit of a regimen containing Adcetris plus doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine was "limited" in certain subgroups, as SunTrust's Yatin Suneja put it in a note to clients.
Seattle Genetics, for its part, is hoping for a broad label in advanced Hodgkin lymphoma, for which it nabbed a breakthrough designation in October.
"I believe that if FDA goes ahead and approves this with a label that says 'advanced Hodgkin lymphoma,' I think that that would be very good because it puts it in the doctors' hands to decide on their patients," company CEO Clay Siegall said in an interview. "I like to give the doctors a tool and let them do their job. They're very educated and very experienced, and to me, that's the right label," he added.
If Suneja's analysis is any indication, doctors may have quite a bit to sort out. The Adcetris combo regimen also performed far better in patients younger than 60; in patients older than 60, it failed to show an efficacy benefit at all, Suneja noted. And it's the above-60 crowd that's typically hit hardest by severe toxicity from bleomycin, a drug in the standard-of-care regimen that Adcetris replaces in the newcomer combo.
"The risk of higher infections, likely due to increased neutropenia" seen with the Adcetris cocktail—coupled with the lack of efficacy benefit—"suggest that uptake for A+AVD in this older age group could be more limited than anticipated," Suneja wrote.
All things considered, "we believe the A+AVD combo is likely to be limited to younger (age <60 years) patients and/or those with Stage IV disease, which is likely to further restrict the total addressable patient population and hence the market potential of Adcetris," he said.
And while he still expects to see an FDA approval, "we believe the market potential for Adcetris in this indication might be <$500 million," he added.
The way Siegall sees it, however, Adcetris—which the company has forecasted will bring in $300 to $310 million in the U.S. and Canada this year—will eventually become a billion-dollar drug in those territories alone. If the drug can win a front-line nod, it will be "the biggest market opportunity that we have yet looked at," Siegall said.
In advance of that possibility, the company decided in recent months to up the size of its sales force by about 30%, and now, "we think with the U.S. and Canada, we have it covered well," he said. And if the company's commercial team can launch the potential new indication the way it's launched previous ones, it'll be in good shape, he figures.

If your foot is going through intense pain located at the arch and heel region, you must have this condition checked immediately by the doctor to determine whether you are suffering from plantar fasciitis. I thought I would throw this out to the DT since discover bound to be considered a lot of people with plantar fasciitis and/or related foot pain. Thanks for sharing the information, it is rather useful for Plantar Fasciitis'(bottom foot pain) individuals. Plantar fasciitis (pronounced PLAN-tar fashee-EYE-tiss) is usually an inflammation in the fascia (also called aponeurosis) on the bottom in the foot. It is considered the same as, or seen with, back heel spur.
1 caution: do not tolerate ANY knee pain in these two poses. In case you have knee pain while you're doing these pose, STOP. It doesn't do you any good to heal your plantar fasciitis and wreck your knees. Get help coming from an experienced instructor. But do not sit in these poses in case you have knee pain. Never.
The most common symptoms associated with this condition consist of weakness, stiffness, inflammation, swelling, and pain. Wearing the best shoes can truly make a world of difference for someone suffering from plantar fasciitis. Beneath, you're going to figure out how to choose sneakers that will help to alleviate your pain and stiffness.
Platelet-rich plasma was given at the point of maximum tenderness in the heel. Some studies counsel an ultrasound-guided technique for administering injection in plantar fasciitis. 21, 22 However , Kane et al 23 reported no significant difference in their comparative study between ultrasound-guided and palpation-guided injection techniques in the management of idiopathic plantar fasciitis. In previous studies, platelet-rich plasma injection was administered with a peppering technique where the fascia was shot at multiple sites through a single skin portal. 13, 17-19 Other authors used a medial approach to give platelet-rich plasma. 14, sixteen It is not regarded whether either technique is excellent. In the current research, the peppering technique was used.
Plantar fasciitis is characterized by irritation and swelling in the thick cells on the bottom in the foot. This fascia can become inflamed and painful making walking more challenging. Plantar fasciitis is most severe in the morning when patients 1st stand on the feet. Pain symptoms will certainly intensify with prolonged workout or position.
If joggers or otherwise sports athletes then you must not wear jogging shoes that allow you to possess a beautiful arch support, they may be definitely at an all in one risk having to do with developing this painful to toe condition. They he has to, and for that reason make a resource box a multi functional point to understand more about buy jogging shoes that are invented in order to avoid over-stretching regarding this ligament. Here is most of these a lot of information on-line everywhere over the going to be the brands that bring to the table best of the best running athletic shoes charming plantar fasciitis.
Although plantar fasciitis is often healed with the aid of medications and by performing plantar fasciitis stretches, wearing the best sneakers for plantar fasciitis will definitely demonstrate useful in relieving the symptoms. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually happens with your 1st steps in the morning. As you wake up and move more, the pain normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after rising coming from sitting.
Individuals suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis now have a new weapon against this debilitating foot ailment, in accordance to research presented at the Culture of Interventional Radiology's Total annual Scientific Conference. Researchers employed ultrasound imaging and specific ultrasonic energy to penetrate, emulsify and remove diseased fasciitis cells. Permanently getting rid of damaged, pain-generating tissue allowed room to get healthy cells to regrow in its place, repairing normal function.

I am not even going to try to hide my love affair for soup recipes, especially slow cooker soup recipes like this one.
I can have soup year round, and in fact, I do. So recently, when I was given a copy of a handy little cookbook that is ALL about soups, I was pretty excited. It was like someone was reading my mind!
I flipped through to bookmark all of the ones I was going to make. So far I have made several, even making a few that went straight to the freezer. Nothing better than having little frozen, ready-made lunches to pull out when you need them.
This particular one I made on Sunday was Potato Blue Cheese Soup. I adapted this slow cooker soup recipe quite a bit from it's original state. I did not make it in a crock pot, rather, I opted to use my large Emile Henry soup pot. I wanted to get it made and let it simmer on the stove top until our company was ready to eat it. Feel free to make it in your slow cooker. The steps are fairly similar.
My kids really loved this soup and it was so easy. The taste of the sauteed onion, celery and garlic really boosted the flavor of this light soup.
Oh, and if you love potato soup, be sure to check out this recipe, too: Creamy potato soup with cauliflower and leeks.
I hope you love this slow cooker soup recipe, even if you make it on the stove top like I did!
Hearty potatoes and rich blue cheese make this a filling dish, whether it's served as a side or as an entree.
4 C water or stock. I have made this twice and used both. Best is a combo of both.
8 oz of Blue Cheese, Gorgonzola or Roquefort. I have used Blue and Gorgonzola. Both came out differently but equally great.
In a large pot (or saute pan if it is going into the slow cooker) saute the onion for 5 minutes in the butter. Add a pinch of salt to sweat them a little. Add the celery and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and at this point either add this to a slow cooker or keep going in the soup pot.
After adding the potatoes and water I let simmer until soft. Your time will really depend on your heat and whether or not you are in a hurry. Once soft, I gave the potatoes a light mash and stirred in the blue cheese. I added fresh pepper, to taste and just a bit of salt.
Potatoes and Blue Cheese. Yum!!
Soup is the perfect fall meal!
I saw your little poll, so I had to come and check out your post. The soup looks great - my hubby would love it! I am not a fan of any potato soup (I don't like potatoes unless they are crispy or cheese).
I am totally making this today! I want to put it in right now and eat it all day.. but I have to have some self control! Thanks for sharing!!
Soup is the perfect meal period. I cannot wait to try this one!

Malaysia burglar stuck for 3 days in haunted house!
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – A news report says a burglar who broke into a house claims he was held captive by a "supernatural figure" for three days without food and water.
Police official Abdul Marlik Hakim Johar told The Star newspaper the house's owners found the 36-year-old man fatigued and dehydrated when they returned from vacation Thursday.
He says they called an ambulance to take him to a hospital.
Abdul Marlik could not immediately be reached and other police officials declined to comment.


Baruti looks into the reasons why it is so pivotal to the flow of communication among them and, especially, between them and others. He examines why it makes sense to view lying as a personal and social norm in a cultural context where morality (our sense of right and wrong) is political. In western society, lying is considered an exercise of power and a valid means of controlling others by confusing them and, therefore, causing them to become victimized by a "truth" consciously manufactured by the liar. Using the movie The Mummy as a prime example, we are shown how far Europeans will take lies in order to trick others into believing lies about themselves.

Even in the era of cloud computing, dedicated servers still have much to offer. We have designed them to be powerful, reliable, and fast.
Looking for a powerful dedicated server for your project? Want to avoid long-term commitments and signed contracts? Dell servers are here for you.
We chose the leading manufacturer of server hardware and technology for our dedicated server: Dell. Our dedicated servers are from the top-level Dell series PowerEdge R320. All our servers feature hardware raid Dell PERC H710 Integrated RAID Controller, 512MB NV Cache. iDRAC out-of-band management, which is a native component of all Dell dedicated servers, fulfills the function of the integrated KVMoverIP.
Cloud4data dedicated servers are equipped exclusively with Intel Xeon server processors. This innovative series of processors has 22nm architecture and 3D transistors continuously loading during permanent operation.
The service will soon also include an additional service of network protection against DoS and DDoS attacks. The chosen solution, in the form of Radware Defense Pro x420 equipment, is able to filter out attacks up to 40 Gbps. Thanks to behavioral data analysis, Radware Defense Pro is much more efficient and enables protection even from the attacks that other systems fail to detect.
Our dedicated servers are located in the secure data centers of a company with more than 15 years of experience. Redundant 10 GE lines provide connectivity to our dedicated servers. Thanks to Dell Fresh Air technology, the Cloud4data data center is considered green and environmentally friendly. This technology enables server operation at elevated temperatures using direct free cooling.
Additional monitoring service is available in the form of server monitoring by certified administrators. Supervision is provided with the help of the Nagios system, which enables services to be monitored in terms of CPU usage, computing power, cast disks, and other parameters. The customer is informed immediately if non-standard values are detected. Technical support follows pre-arranged scenarios.
Additional backup service is available for any dedicated server. The backup is a secured space with fast and authenticated access via a Network File System (NFS) protocol. Administrators can help with the initial setup, but otherwise backup is completely in the customer's hands.
Incredibly comfortable Linux server management. The additional ISPmanager service combines many tools for setup and server diagnostics in one solution, accessible via an intuitive Web interface. Web-hosting management has never been so easy.
When is it better to choose a dedicated server over a cloud server?
Dedicated servers are best for projects and applications where high emphasis is placed on performance, security, and stability. Examples include the operation of a power-consuming database, applications that require extremely low latency, and systems that operate directly with physical hardware.
Will I have full administrator access?
Of course. Server management will be completely in your hands. You personally will install all the necessary software, update applications, and perform backup. Since each dedicated server belongs to only one customer, you will never have to share its performance with anyone.
How will I control my dedicated server?
You will get an administrator account for your dedicated server. This will be delivered to you together with the access data for the customer information system and credentials for the out-of-band iDRAC surveillance card. An integrated KVM console for remote management, including virtual media, is available in this Dell native interface. With that, you can work with the server as if you were sitting right next to it.

Artifact is a trading card game from Valve that takes place in the Dota universe. The game is based on the widely popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) Dota 2.
Released in 2018 by Valve Corporation, Artifact is a digital collectible card game with some notable features. For one, the game is based off Dota 2, the popular MOBA. For another, the game is played using three boards, one for each player. However, a player can only use one board at a time.
Artifact is a card game with three lanes like a MOBA. The player can select five cards to use in a turn. The player can use the cards to attack the opponents' lane, their creatures, or use them to activate their own lane's creatures' special abilities.
In Artifact, players can choose from five colors of cards and up to three heroes in a deck. Cards come in four basic types: creatures, spells, structures, and items. Creatures can be played onto the board to attack opponents, spells are played onto creatures to buff them or change their ability.
The game has a traditional card game layout. Artifact is played using three boards, one for each player. However, a player can only use one board at a time. This can make the game difficult for newer players to understand.
Replayability
Artifact is a card game that is more difficult to learn than traditional card games and as a result it has a high replayability.
Artifact is a card game, so there is no limit to how many times a player can play. However, after a while, there is a chance that the game will become repetitive and too difficult to play.
The controls are basic and easy. Controls for the game can be complicated for new players, but once they have become more familiar with them, the game is easy to control. There are a few difficulties, such as the cards and board being displayed in the wrong order.
Artifact is a digital card game with a lot of features. It is based off of Dota 2, which is a popular MOBA game. The game is played using three boards, one for each player. However, a player can only use one board at a time, which can make the game difficult for newer players to understand. The graphics are decent, but can become repetitive after a while when the player becomes more experienced. Controls can be complicated for new players, but is easy once they have become more familiar with them.

Perspectives for Science at Extreme Conditions using Neutron Scattering
Lunes 22 de Enero de 2018 00:00 | | |
This symposium will address a wide scientific community with the aim to identify the challenges requiring extreme conditions that could be tackled with neutron scattering techniques. Scientists not necessarily coming from the neutron scattering community will be brought together with engineers and instrument specialists. Scientists will present the needs and raise questions to be addressed by the instrument scientists and engineers. From these discussions, we hope that extreme sample environment equipment and new instruments, in particular the new "XtremeD" diffractometer at ILL, will be discussed so that new scientific areas will later benefit from neutron scattering techniques.

Walter Hälg Prize Announcement
Viernes 09 de Junio de 2017 13:21 | | |
ENSA Press Release (June 9th 2017)
The selection committee for the 2017 Walter Hälg Prize is delighted to announce that the winner of the 2017 Walter Hälg prize is Professor Juan Colmenero
The most outstanding contribution of Juan Colmenero in the field of neutron scattering on complex materials such as polymers or soft matter in general was the creation of a pioneering, unique and robust scientific methodology based on the combination of neutron scattering with different spectroscopic methods and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. He was one of the first to recognize that in intricate soft matter systems often neutrons alone are not enough to tell us, "where the atoms are and what they do" and that neutron scattering and MD simulations are natural partners.

Los Lipid Droplets (LD) podrían traducirse literalmente como gotas lipídicas. También conocidos como cuerpos lipídicos (cuerpos oleicos en las plantas y partículas lipídicas en las levaduras) o adiposomas, constituyen los compartimientos intracelulares de reserva lipídica de los organismos.

Su importancia celular como reserva energética se aprecia en los casos dónde su función se ve alterada y afectada, la consecuencia de ello es la aparición de enfermedades como la arteriosclerosis, la diabetes o la obesidad.

Hasta hace relativamente poco tiempo, se pensaba que su función era únicamente constituir depósitos de reserva intracelulares. Aunque si es cierto que esa es su función principal, actualmente se conoce sobre su dinamismo, sobre su participación en muchos procesos celulares (como en la biogénesis, en los mecanismos de asociación de proteínas o en el control del tamaño celular) y sobre su interacción con otros compartimientos celulares.

Estructura de los LD

Aunque sus funciones dentro del organismo son múltiples y muy variadas, todos los Lipid Droplets maduros comparten una estructura simple:
 Un centro hidrofóbico constituido por una estructura de lípidos de reserva (como triacilglicéridos o ésteres de colesterol).
 Un revestimiento en forma de monocapa fosfolipídica con múltiples proteínas asociadas, muy ancladas a la superficie y que proporcionan dinamismo a los LD al mover las reservas energéticas que transportan.

Proceso de formación y composición
Las enzimas catalizan los últimos pasos de la síntesis de triacilglicéridos (las aciltransferasas diacilglicerol o DGATs) o ésteres (acil-coA colesterol transferasas ATCATs) que se encuentran en la membrana del Retículo Endoplasmático (RE). Aunque su rol es importante en dicha síntesis, estas dos enzimas no parecen estar altamente reguladas, por lo que se cree que la regulación de la síntesis de lípidos se da en función de la disponibilidad del sustrato.

Recién sintetizados los lípidos, se funden en el lumen de RE (entre su bicapa lipídica) y se incorporan luego en el citosol recubiertos por la monocapa fosfolipídica. Sin embargo, analizando la composición fosfolipídica de dicha membrana, vemos que no es uniformemente la misma que en el RE, por lo que se cree que en este compartimento existen subdominios especializados en su gemación.

Siguiendo el proceso de síntesis de la vesícula lipídica, una vez incorporada al citosol experimenta una alteración del tamaño. El porqué y el cómo de este cambio se encuentran aun bajo un interrogante, aunque existen distintas e investigaciones que buscan la explicación ya que puede ayudar a entender problemas de salud más actuales. A continuación se exponen algunas de las teorías más importantes sobre el porqué de la variación:
 Crecimiento de los LD por fusión: Algunos creen que el mecanismo de creación de un LD de gran tamaño se basa en la fusión de otros menores.
 Regulación por MLDP: Los bioquímicos Moellering ER y Benning C de Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Department of Energy-Plant Research Laboratory de la Universidad Estatal de Míchigan (USA) se focalizaron en el modelo de acumulación de triacilglicéridos y la formación de LD durante una deprivación de nitrógeno de la alga verde Chlamydomas reinhardtii. Mediante un espectrómetro de masas identificaron 259 proteínas, entre las que destacaba una por su elevada concentración a la que denominaron MLDP (Major Lipid Droplet Protein). Durante la represión genética mediante RNAi de las algas verdes fotosintéticas provocó un aumento del tamaño celular de LD pero sin observarse ningún cambio en el contenido de triacilglierol o de su metabolismo.
 Regulación mediante la enzima ATGL (lipasa), HSL y Peri-A (Perilipina A) en los adipocitos: En estas células, el tamaño de los LD refleja el balance entre la síntesis de triacilglicéridos (lipogénesis) y su hidrólisis (lipólisis). Por otro lado tenemos la perilipina A (Peri A), la fosfoproteína más abundante de la superficie de los LD de los adipocitos y que juega un papel crucial en el almacenamiento lipídico y en la lipolisis junto a la ATGL y la HSL (una lipasa susceptible a las hormonas). Sin embargo, aunque todas tienen un peso importante en la lipólisis y en el tamaño de los LD, la ausencia de PKA (Quinasa A) provoca que las lipasas (ATDL y HSL) resten en el citoplasma sin una clara función. Un equipo de investigadores de Jean Mayer United States Department of Agriculture and Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging de la Tufts University (Boston) dirigido por Miyoshi H. publicaron el noviembre de 2009 un estudio referente a este hecho. En él utilizaron un sistema adenoviral para inhibir la expresión de ATGL y HSL mediante un ingenioso modelo de adipocitos en presencia o ausencia de Peri A. Con todo esto demostraron que el tamaño de LD, la reserva de triacilglicéridos y la liberación de ácidos grasos son procesos regulados por la expresión de ATGL. Sus resultados consiguieron demostrar por primera vez la influencia del ATGL, HSL y la Peri A en la determinación del tamaño de los LD en ausencia de PKA.

Función
La función específica de los LD varía en función del tipo de célula en el que se encuentran, pero en general pueden considerarse grandes reservas energéticas, fuentes lipídicas para la formación de membranas y reservas de lípidos potencialmente tóxicos (que no interesa tener libres por la célula). A continuación se encuentran tres distinciones funcionales en tres casos diferentes:
 Adipocitos: Los LD se especializan en el almacenamiento de triacilglicéridos de cadenas larga (de 25- 200μm). Los LD son hidrolizados para proporcionar energía a los tejidos periféricos.
 Células de las glándulas suprarrenales, testículos y ovarios: tienen pequeños LD que contienen ésteres de colesterol para la síntesis de hormonas esteroides.
 Hepatocitos: Usan los lípidos contenidos en los LD para la síntesis de lipoproteínas de muy baja densidad.
 Semillas: Algunas plantas utilizan los LD contenidos en las células de las semillas como fuente de energía para la germinación.

Proceso de liberación de los lípidos almacenados en los LD
Los triacilglicéridos se catabolizan mediante una serie de segmentaciones de las cadenas de acil glicerol, restando un ácido graso libre y un diacilglicérido. Este diacilglicérido sufrirá también una segmentación dando lugar a un nuevo ácido graso libre y un monoacilglicérido. Finalmente resultarán tres ácidos grasos libres y un glicerol libre.
 En los adipocitos: El movimiento lipídico a través de estas células se encuentra altamente regulado por la estimulación hormonal. Las perilipinas (proteínas asociadas a los LD muy abundantes y mencionadas anteriormente) regulan la asociación de la enzima lipasa citosólica susceptible a la acción hormonal (HSL) mediante los LD. Bajo condiciones basales del ciclo celular, las perilipinas inhiben la HSL uniéndose a los LD y disminuyendo la hidrólisis de triacilglicéridos.
 Por el contrario, las perilipinas estimulan perfectamente la lipolisis estimulada mediante hormonas a través de la asociación de la HSL a los LD o activando la HSL en la superficie de los LD.
 La proteína quinasa A sirve también de mediadora de estos efectos mediante fosforilaciones de las perilipinas y de las HSL como respuesta (también) a la estimulación hormonal.
 Otra enzima, la ATGL cataliza el primer paso del movimiento de los triacilglicéridos a través de los LD y es activada primero por CG-58, estructuralmente similar a las lipasas pero sin actividad catalítica.
 Mutaciones en los genes que codifican para ATGL y CGI-58 causan alteraciones y enfermedades relacionadas con el almacenamiento lipídico, hecho que remarca su importancia biológica.
 En el resto de las células que contienen LD: El control hormonal de la hidrólisis de los lípidos contenidos en los LD y por lo tanto su liberación, se da principalmente en los adipocitos de manera que la distribución de HSL, ATGL, Perilipinas y otras proteínas reguladoras por otros tejidos es algo muy limitado. Sin embargo, la modulación de la actividad de los LD y la asociación de las lipasas citosólicas a los LD parece ser una estrategia general para la regulación del dinamismo lipídico.
 En los LD de células diferentes a los adipocitos, se encuentran proteínas de la misma familia que las perilipinas como la TIP47 y la ADRP que se expresan sin demasiadas restricciones. La función principal de estas dos proteínas es regular el acceso de las lipasas a la superficie de los LD, función que hacen también las perilipinas en los adipocitos.

Interacción de los LD con otras estructuras
El proceso de interacción exacto es complejo y aún se tienen dudas al respecto. Sin embargo, lo que se conoce con seguridad es que la interacción de los LD con otros compartimentos y vías sirve para la "entrega de lípidos". En la mayoría de células los LD son dinámicos y se mueven mediante microtúbulos. Sin embargo, se conoce que en algunos casos restan asociados al RE o bien en contacto con los peroxisomas, cediéndoles los ácidos grasos resultantes de la beta-oxidación.

Un último indicio sobre la interacción de los LD con otras estructuras lo marca la presencia de Rab18 o ADRP, proteínas relacionadas con el transporte a través de las membranas que corroboran el hecho que se encuentren asociados al RE o en contacto con los peroxisomas.

Genes relacionados con la formación y función de los LD
A partir del análisis de células de Drosophila S2, un grupo de bioquímicos de Departament of Biochemistry and Biophysics of California University (USA) concluyeron que el 1'5% del total de sus genes actúan en la regulación y formación de los LD.
Los fenotipos de los genes fueron clasificados en cinco grupos, entre los cuales los genes codificantes de enzimas contribuyentes en la biosíntesis de fosfolípidos parecían ser determinantes de las dimensiones de los LD. Estos indicios les llevaron a concluir que la composición de la monocapa fosfolipídica afecta la morfología de los LD y la finalidad de los lípidos que contienen (junto al subgénero de las proteínas de transporte vesicular Arf1-COP1 que también regulan la morfología de los LD y su función).
