VitalFit Nutrition
MJ Pedone
VitalFit Nutrition, based in Boston, Mass. and founded by two friends from business school, was initially created to fulfill a need after an injury. However, in creating an alternative to pain medication, VitalFit Nutrition has evolved into a successful plant-based nutrition company. We sat down with Cameron Fischer and Alfred Shofield, the founders of this cutting edge company to learn about their products, but more importantly how they are disrupting the supplement industry with their collaborative approach.
MJ: What was your motivation to create VitalFit Nutrition?
VF: We originally started VitalFit as a part of our graduate school thesis project at Babson. What was a gripe with commissioned sales clerks, flashy marketing and lack of industry accountability, turned into our full-time venture! However, it was a back injury from playing basketball that actually led us to our first product.
MJ: What is different about your sales model?
VF: We think there are two things that make our sales model different. First, our product design process and second, our distribution network.
In a time where partnerships are often decided on based on social reach, we use our product design process to build genuine relationships with influencers who help us reach our consumers. We dislike the pay for play marketing that is in many ways, running the health and wellness space right now. A company typically looks for a high-impact influencer who they can pay and supply product to in exchange for posts and promotions. While this strategy undoubtedly drivestraffic, we don't think it builds a genuine connection between the brand and its consumers. More likely, the approach contributes to health-trend culture and the spread of misinformation—it's abig reason for why there's so much distrust in the industry in the first place.
Our approach to influencer partnerships is much different. We invite them into our product design process, essentially giving them a stake in our brand. Because we create together, we end up with products they genuinely want to use and a relationship that exists outside a paycheck, which has helped us grow our direct to consumer sales ten-fold. Our customers realize this isn'tjust another sponsored advertisement. It's an authentic endorsement with a relationship behind it.
MJ: When did you make the connection and notice the gap in what is available to professional athletes and consumers and realize that VitalFit can bridge that gap?
VF: A chance injury during a pickup game of basketball helped us discover this gap. We were stuck in a bit of a rut one afternoon (this was when we were just starting out) so we decided to take a break and head down to the basketball court. A few minutes into the game, I realized somethingwasn't right with my back. A day later, the pain was worse. Three days after that, it still persisted. A trip to the doctor revealed I had actually herniated a disc. I was taking a lot of ibuprofen to deal with the pain but after a few days, my stomach couldn't handle it anymore. I reached out to an integrative physician we work with who suggested I try drinking tart cherry juice for its anti-inflammatory profile. I couldn't believe how much it helped and how fast itworked. From personal experience and our observations in the field, we knew the fitness community was using ibuprofen more than they should to help with post-workout soreness and joint pain. We instantly made the tart cherry connection and have been working on innovative, plant-based recovery products ever since!
MJ: What is optimal nutrition?
VF: Optimal nutrition looks different for everyone. But when we think about "optimal" nutrition, wethink that it is nutrition that allows you the utmost freedom and powers your body to accomplish your goals.
MJ: Where are your products being sold?
VF: VitalFit can be found in a variety of spots. All of our products are available direct from the VitalFit website. (www.vitalfitnutrition.com) In addition, you can find us at many independent health food stores, fitness studios, medical practices, or gyms throughout New England. We also have a few online partners as well. Two especially important partners for us are Cambridge Naturals (the first retail store to carry our products) and The Feed, an online store that aggregates all of the top athletic supplements (they named our tart cherry one of the top anti-inflammatories of the year so far!)
MJ: You look to fitness professionals for insights on VitalFit Nutrition products. Are there other segments you think that would benefit from embracing VitalFit Nutrition?
VF: One of our mottos are, "The intersection between lifestyle and performance." One of the first gaps we want to close is that middle ground. We saw a ton of performance products and just as many general health products, but nothing really in-between. Our products will definitely help with athletic performance, but the very nature of them, as recovery products, makes them applicable to a much larger audience. For example, our product source helps restore natural energy levels by helping your body produce its own natural energy, something that becomes increasingly more difficult as we age. Because we work with integrative physicians to design products like these, we think it makes them especially attractive to the anti-aging segment.
MJ: What is the single most important message you would like to offer our readers who are trying to stay healthy and be innovative business leaders?
VF: The key to staying active is rest, not excess. It's less about pushing limits, more about restoringwhen we do.

Modest Fashion: Rising In Popularity, Or Always Popular?
Before online shopping became widespread, most of us faced great difficulty in finding modest clothes that were flattering, timeless, and great quality. In recent years, especially now, it became easier than ever to find a sizeable selection of modest dresses, skirts, tops and more without even leaving your seat.
So that makes it safe to say that modest fashion is "in," right? It's easier to find, because it's rising in popularity, right? Well, maybe. Also maybe not.
It won't completely be correct to say that demand for modest wear has particularly risen in any way. That's because women from many religions and backgrounds have chosen to stay covered for a very long time already. Their style may simply have not been given the label of "modest" earlier on. Also, the fashion industry, very generally speaking, also always catered to modest women. But of course, there were always different variables that came into play, such as price points, designs, variety, and awareness.
The only difference between then and now is that fashion no longer serves its modest clients under wraps — instead, the mainstream industry is openly using modesty as a marketing tool.
Another difference is that smaller entrepreneurs and indie designers are able to have a greater voice than ever before, thanks to ecommerce, combined with social media.
So all-in-all, instead of saying that modest fashion is rising in popularity, it may be more accurate to say that it is finally getting the mainstream attention it deserves.

Q: How to assign a Count of dataset to variable and use it in IF ELSE statement I want to store count of dataset in variable like below
%let Cnt ;

create table work.delaycheck as
select * from connection to oracle
(

SELECT PTNR_ID,CLNT_ID,REPORTING_DATE_KEY,NET_SALES
FROM FACT_TABLE
MINUS
SELECT PTNR_ID,CLNT_ID,REPORTING_DATE_KEY,NET_SALES
FROM HIST_FCT

);

I want to store count of this table in the variable Cnt like below
%put = (Select count(*) from work.delaycheck )

And Then
If(Cnt=0)

THEN

     DO NOTHING

ELSE

    execute(

                 Insert into Oracle_table

                  select * from work.delaycheck

) by oracle;

disconnect from oracle;

quit;

How can I acheive these steps? Thanks In advance!!

A: *

*Delete this line from your code
%let Cnt ;

*In order to get the count: Add the code below which will create the macro variable Cnt with the count:
proc sql;
Select count(*) into: Cnt from work.delaycheck ;
quit;

*Update the if statement: the "&" is used to reference macro variables
If &cnt=0
The Code below shows how to use the if/else and the use of Call Execute:
data _null_;
if &cnt=0 then put 'Cnt is 0';/*if true: a note is written to the log*/
else call execute ('proc print data=work.e; run;');
/*else clause: the Proc Print code is executed*/
run;

A: All of the SQL and data shown is occurring remotely.  You can perform all the activity there without involving SAS.  Oracle will process
PROC SQL;
  CONNECT TO ORACLE ...;
  EXECUTE (
    INSERT INTO <TARGET_TABLE>
    SELECT * FROM
    ( SELECT PTNR_ID,CLNT_ID,REPORTING_DATE_KEY,NET_SALES
      FROM FACT_TABLE
      MINUS
      SELECT PTNR_ID,CLNT_ID,REPORTING_DATE_KEY,NET_SALES
      FROM HIST_FCT
    )
 ) BY ORACLE;

and not insert any records if the fact table is comprised of only historical facts.
EXECUTE can also submit PL/SQL statements, which in-turn can reduce the need for extraneous system interplay.

Expert Witness Reports with Brian Gale Surveyors
In the event that a Building Dispute, Party Wall Matter or other issue pertaining to property is taken to Court, an expert witness may be required to provide an impartial inspection and analysis of the disputed subject, to aid the Court in making an appropriate ruling.
As an independent firm, at Brian Gale Surveyors we are able to provide a professional, unbiased opinion to assist in these cases, and have provided Expert Witness Reports for boundary disputes, valuations, defective construction, dilapidations and much more. Our team are trained to provide specialist observations, all of which are compliant to the relevant Civil Procedure Rules of the Courts.
What does a surveyor do when acting as an expert witness?
If instructed as an expert witness, we will carry out a visit to the property at the centre of the dispute, and collect all the information we can find about the matter. These findings, relating to both sides of the issue, are compiled into a report that follows the requirements of Practice Direction 35, carefully detailing our opinion and making clear any issues that fall outside of our expertise, or where there has been insufficient information to make a judgement.
There is usually no requirement for a surveyor to appear in Court, however in especially complex cases it may be necessary for a cross-examination.
Can a Surveyor help me to win my case?
If we are hired as an Expert Witness, it is expected that the professional information we provide the judge will assist in their ruling. However, we are obliged to give a full and unbiased opinion of the matter, and cannot leave relevant information undisclosed for the benefit of either party.

Ancient Civilizations Decoded
Goddesses of Ancient Greece and Rome
It's safe to say that no mythology has been as influential on Western culture as that of ancient Greece and by extension, Rome. The myths of these civilizations are still popular after thousands of years and have been revised, retold, modernized and embellished in every medium. Stories of Jason and the Argonauts, Hercules, Theseus, the Minotaur, Pegasus, Andromeda and all the other characters, were steeped in drama, adventure and philosophy.
The popularity of the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses is due, in part, to their all too human traits. They got into immense trouble, incurred each other's wrath, fought amongst themselves and were often less than benevolent to their human worshipers.
The Greek and Roman Goddesses' impact on the modern world is indisputable.
We still look to Venus as the epitome of love. Mention the goddess Hera and one can't help but form an image of a betrayed, jealous, angry and vindictive wife. Tales of Artemis set the tone for a strong feminine archetype, dangerous, defiant and without any desire for a partner.
It's generally accepted that Roman deities were nearly identical to their Greek counterparts, except that the Roman Gods and Goddesses were more serious and less frivolous. This makes sense, as the Roman Empire took itself seriously and viewed their state deities as a vital part of the world order that kept them in control of a vast empire.
Although the Greeks certainly took their deities seriously, they also imbued them with senses of humor, irony, infidelity, fallibility and in the case of Zeus, almost a complete lack of impulse control. It's for this reason that I'll focus on the Greek goddesses and allow the reader to infer a slightly less emotional version when thinking about those of Rome. What follows is a brief look at 4 of my favorite Goddesses.
Hera was the wife of Zeus and the undisputed Queen of Olympus. Under normal circumstances, that would seem to be a great position, except for the fact that Zeus was probably the most flagrant philanderer in the history of mythology. I've always thought that Hera took a lot more than anyone should ever be forced to. She's often portrayed as being shrill and unpleasant, but I think she came by it honestly.
By any barometer, it's plain to see that Hera was under a lot of stress, not to mention constant challenges to her self-image, causing a temper that was both dangerous and vindictive. Although she was once considered to be the goddess of proper matrimony and intimate relations within marriage, she's better known for the vengeance she wrought upon those who wronged her, or were unlucky enough to become the object of her husband's attentions.
A common thread with all Greek goddesses was that they were not to be messed with, but this was especially true of Hera.
Although she could be profoundly benevolent to those she favored, Hera was better known for her anger. Here are some of Hera's greatest hits:
Hera Unleashed
Hercules was the son of Zeus, born from a mortal woman. Irritated, one of the first things Hera did was send snakes to kill baby Hercules, but being the palooka he was, he dispatched them quickly. Throughout his life, Hera placed obstacles in Hercules' path for no other reason than his being the illegitimate son of Zeus. Eventually, she pushed the hero to madness, causing him to murder his wife and children. This horrible tragedy led Hercules to take on the famous 12 labors, cementing his myth as one of the greatest, but at a huge cost.
Io was a beautiful young maiden. She caught the eye of Zeus, much to her misfortune. Hera, true to form, went after the young girl, but Zeus was able to turn her into a beautiful heifer to protect her. Hera, not one to be outdone, sent a gadfly to torment the poor cow forever.
You may have heard of Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. They were the twin sisters of Castor and Pollux, all born from Leda who'd been "visited" by Zeus in the form of a swan. You can bet that Zeus's wife wasn't about to ignore a double set of twins.
The myth of the Golden fleece wouldn't be complete without including the fact that the reason Hera favored Jason in his journey was revenge. Years earlier, a woman who'd been horribly cruel to her stepchildren, had to face the proverbial music. Knowing that death was imminent, due to her past acts, she sought refuge in the Temple of Hera, imagining that she'd be safe there. Instead, she was murdered on Hera's alter, beginning a chain of events that would spawn one of the greatest myths known. She chose Jason as her instrument of revenge, as if he were a pawn on a game board.
Zeus was an uncontrolled philanderer and Hera punished those with whom he cavorted, along with their children and children's children. The effects of his indiscretions often created ripples that impacted families for generations. Perhaps there's more truth to this than meets the eye.
The birth of Aphrodite has more than one version, but my favorite led to one of the most famous paintings in the world, Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus." In this version of the myth, Chronos, one of the Titans, castrated his father Uranus, whose testicles fell into the ocean, lost their fluid, which then created the Goddess of Love. There are numerous ways in which this myth is disturbing, but it's fascinating at the same time.
It gives Aphrodite/Venus the benefit of not having been born, but rather being a consequence of Time (Chronos) and the Universe (Uranus).
Although certain aspects of what we consider to be beautiful are based on cultural or personal idiosyncrasies, there is no doubt that the ability of love to power, shape and reshape the world is almost limitless. This myth implies that Love is universal and timeless.
Just Aphrodite From the Seafoam
Some believe that the name Aphrodite came from the word "Aphros," meaning foam and referring to what is often called sea-foam, perhaps alluding to her birth. So beautiful was Aphrodite that Zeus declared that in order to keep suitors from fighting over her, she would wed Hephaestus, the God of metallurgy. Hephaestus was brilliant in every way, but decidedly imperfect in appearance. Aphrodite was brazenly unfaithful to Hephaestus.
More often than not, she was forgiven, because of her flawless beauty.
The Greeks seemed keenly aware of the fact that there is a certain helplessness surrounding beauty, not only in adoring those who are beautiful, but in being beautiful, as well. They also acknowledged the absolute truth that the world can be easier for the beautiful, although not always for the better.
Artemis and Apollo were twins. Apollo ruled the day, driving the chariot of the sun. Artemis ruled the night and controlled the moon. She was revered by hunters for the illumination that aided them in the night.
She was a powerful and beautiful deity, not given to foolishness, nor to silly affairs of the heart.
Fiercely protective of the creatures in her domain, she was also a huntress concerned with humane practices in that world. Proud of her abilities, anyone who boasted that they were a better hunter than she, was destined to some sort of grisly death. It's often thought that Orion was her one true love, yet many myths attribute his demise to his bragging about being the best hunter of all time, his claims offending Artemis. She dealt with his boasts and he ended up as one of the most spectacular constellations of the winter sky; that's the good news.
In another myth, Acteon, a great hunter, accidentally stumbled upon Artemis while she was bathing. Annoyed, she turned Acteon into a stag and his own hunting dogs tore him to pieces. Oops.
Artemis the Huntress
Artemis was often shown wielding a bow, with a dog and stag at her side. She is one of many ancient goddesses possessing power and formidable fighting skills. The ancients revered this energy in feminine deities like Artemis, Sekhemet, Durga, the Valkyries and others. I've always thought that this attribute was due to the reality of the role of the feminine in nature. Not only do mothers give birth to their offspring, but they will defend them to the death. Yet, our culture has seen fit to view women as diminutive and needing to be protected and through that, not as competent or capable as men.
This atrocity of characterization will only be corrected through a rejection of stifling, antiquated viewpoints and the reemergence of the fact that male and female, together, are destined and designed to work this earth in unison.
Anything less is an insult to humanity and an invitation to incur the wrath of all warrior goddesses, never a good idea.
Persephone or Prosperine
Although not born a goddess, Persephone became the queen of the underworld and the wife of Hades. Her story is a fascinating one that holds much for those willing to contemplate it.
Persephone's original name was Kore. She was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of grains, earth, agriculture and fertility. So beautiful was Kore, that she was sought after by Apollo and Hermes, but to no avail, since Demeter did not find them worthy of her daughter. Hades, the king of the underworld, became infatuated with Kore and requested that his brother, Zeus, allow him to take her by force to his realm. This permission was necessary, as it was forbidden for Hades to do anything above the ground without the permission of Zeus, who agreed.
Hades erupted from beneath the Earth with his team of black horses, nabbed Kore and returned to the underworld.
Most of us know the rest of the story, especially the part about Demeter forging a deal to bring Kore back above ground, but only under the condition that she'd not eaten anything. Although only having ingested a few pomegranate seeds, she was destined to spend part of the year with Hades and part of the year with her mother. This simple myth is much more than an explanation of winter and the end of the growing season. It actually exposes a deep and profound philosophy of life, death and rebirth.
Queen of the Underworld
Renamed Persephone, our heroine rules in the underworld with her husband and seems to love being the queen of the realm. In some cults, she was known as the unnamed one, or she whose name must not be spoken. She was both loved and feared and speaks to the real truth of the transition that comes over all of us when we leave our childhood homes and embark upon adulthood. None of us stays the same. We connect with a partner and become a part of each other; we become something different than we were. As human beings, we change every day, although we may appear to be the same.
We live and eventually we die. What then? Persephone and Hades provided answers to that and other questions, but only to the initiated.
Until that time, we should live, love and embrace each day fervently and without fear, for although the wonderful stories of gods, goddesses and humans have persisted through time, they point out how much we've changed and yet how much we're the same.
This is the true gift of our ancestors, to illuminate the richness in life, give hope for the future and to live fully in the present.
I wish you all peace and love.

Writing, just like any other disciplines, should not be bound by existing borders and prior knowledge but should be transferable, retainable, and collaborative. Whether you work alone or with others, you cannot escape working/learning with/from others, in a physical or thoughtful fashion. Writing is an essential and effective way to examine and enhance thinking and learning. In this course, we as thinkers and learners at the university will together use writing to explore/expand our creative and critical minds, tackle both curious and practical aspects of our professional life, and effectively present research to targeted audiences.
Our class will gear toward a "hybrid"-- face-to-face plus distant learning--style. The course materials will, first, be drawn from the (sub)genres of biology and poetry, which are two fields of study often thought of as irrelevant. By examining popular and scholarly writing in biology as well as poems that focus on life forms other than humans, students will build connections based on the intertextual conversation provoked by the reading of both genres and establish a bio-poetical discourse community where biology and poetry intersect and co-generate a prolific body of conversations. Then, your will work on academic and practical professionalization as early career researchers/scientists through writing cover letters, resumes, and peer-oriented mock interviews. Finally, the course will culminate in your demonstration of your insider knowledge in biological science, broadly speaking, for a general, public audience, as you conduct research, write literature reviews, and present your reviews on topics of your own choosing.
4/8 (M) Sample poems for biological conceptualization; group activities.
4/12 (F) Group workshop - Draft group proposals.

Three seniors, Benji Hannam '18, Mahnoor Maqsood '18 and Alex Vasques '18, sat down with The Dartmouth and shared their plans for next year.
Vasques, an engineering modified with economics major, is originally from Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Although nominally a city, Alexandria, in Vasques' opinion, is imbued with a suburban energy.
"There's a main street with a bunch of shops, but there are no high-rises or apartment buildings; it's townhouses and cul-de-sacs," Vasques said.
As she prepares to relocate in the fall to New York City, she reminisces back to her childhood days, when she would visit her aunt and uncle that live in the city. Vasques credits those relatives for contributing to her excitement to live in that city.
However, Vasques was not always so set on her prospective job location. During one of her off-terms, she worked in San Francisco for a small private equity firm and wavered between the East and West Coasts. Upon reflection, she came to a pragmatic conclusion.
Another senior moving to New York is Maqsood, planning to work in the technology division of a finance firm. Maqsood is part of her class's 8 percent international student population, with roots in Pakistan.
Maqsood, however, does not worry about her transition to New York City.
"All my best friends will be moving to [New York City and] I think that it's important to have a strong support system ... Also, New York is so multicultural, which is why I am so excited to move." Maqsood said.
However, some members of the graduating class are not planning to move to cities with big Dartmouth alumni bases. One of such people is Hannam. Hannam plans to move to Beaverton, a suburb of Portland, Oregon, to work at Nike's headquarters.
"Last winter I was lucky to have the opportunity to go work at Nike to do software-engineering ... I didn't know much about Portland because it's not as international as New York. I went there completely blind and ended up loving it there and had a really great summer. For me, accepting [their offer] was a no-brainer," he said.
Hannam claims that while the Dartmouth network spreads thin in his region, through his summer internship, he had the opportunity to already start building his community there. Furthermore, this is not the first time Hannam has drastically relocated, as he originally hails from London, England.
As seniors prepare to build their new homes, many do not plan to stay in their new locations long term.
"If I want fried chicken at 3 a.m., I would only find that in New York ... [New York] is a fast-paced city and this is the only point in my life when I actually would want to live there," Maqsood said. "I probably won't be living in New York in 10 years," Maqsood said.
Sharing a similar view, Vasques acknowledges the financial difficulties of raising a family in the city.
Furthermore, members of the graduating class also factor their parents into their job location decisions.
"[My parents] come to New York a lot ... so they are pretty comfortable doing the drive from D.C. — it's a three and a half to four-hour drive, so it's not too big of a concern for them," Vasques said.
However, for some internationals, keeping in contact with their family will be difficult while they work in the United States.
Hannam, however, does not believe that distance is detrimental to relationships.
Even as the graduating class prepares to fly off into the real world, they are all still connected by their ties to the College.

What Can a Subcontractor Write Off on His 1099?
Subcontractors are treated as independent businesses for tax purposes.
3 What Can You Write Off as Business Expenses as an Independent Contractor?
Subcontractors are considered independent business owners and must track all income and expenses generated as a result of business operations. Other than materials or tools purchased in connection with any project, subcontractors may deduct other costs of operating a business, including office rents or business use of a home office, business use of a personal vehicle or business travel expenses when traveling away from home.
Independent subcontractors regularly purchase materials and equipment related to their specific projects. Expenses for materials necessary for completion of a job may be directly deducted from taxable income on your tax return. Equipment may also be deducted, but if any equipment has a useful life of more than one year, the entire purchase amount may not be eligible for deduction in the year purchased. Special rules for depreciation of the expense may apply. Speak with your tax professional regarding immediate deduction of any equipment expenses.
Subcontractors may deduct expenses for rental of office space just as any other business owner. If the subcontractor conducts business from his home, the IRS allows the Home Office Deduction for the portion of the home used for business purposes. In order to utilize the Home Office Deduction, the home office must be a dedicated place where you conduct regular and exclusive business activities. Exclusive use means the portion of your home used for business must be dedicated to the business. Regular use means business activities occur regularly and not on a sporadic basis.
If subcontractors use a personal car for business purposes, expenses for the portion of business use may be eligible for deduction. There are specific IRS guidelines for deduction of vehicle operation expenses, including the requirement that the car be owned by the taxpayer. Leased vehicles are not eligible for deduction of actual expenses, and the standard IRS mileage deduction must be used. Consult your tax adviser regarding which deduction method fits your situation.
Subcontractors who travel away from home for projects may deduct related travel expenses on an income tax return. In addition to specific projects, business-related travel can include client meetings, conferences or other business-related activity. All travel must meet the IRS definition of ordinary and necessary to the conduct of business and be reasonable in cost. Subcontractors should retain receipts for all travel, such as hotel stays, business-related meals and parking expenses, as well as a record of miles traveled.

Inherited retinal degenerations such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are common causes of blindness. The overall goals of our research program are to improve our understanding of the molecular bases of inherited retinal degenerations and related cilia disorders so that rational therapies can be developed for these diseases.
Cilia are present on most cells in the human body. These structures are typically sensory organelles, and are involved in many critical aspects of cell biology and development. The photoreceptor sensory cilium (PSC) elaborated by each rod and cone photoreceptor cell of the retina is a classic example (Figure 1). Consistent with the importance of cilia in biology, mutations in genes that encode cilia components are common causes of disease. Mutations that cause inherited retinal degenerations, which are common causes of blindness, have been identified in genes encoding more than 40 PSC proteins to date. These disorders are characterized by PSC dysfunction, followed by degeneration and death of the photoreceptor cells, resulting in loss of vision.
Figure 1. Photoreceptor sensory cilia (right, top part of rod cell) are the light sensitive parts of the rods and cones in the eye's retina (middle and left). Like other cilia, the outer segment (OS) contains an axoneme, which begins at the basal bodies, passes through a transition zone (the so-called "connecting cilium") and into the OS. The basal bodies also nucleate the ciliary rootlet, which extends into the inner segment (IS). The PSC complex comprises the OS and its cytoskeleton, including the rootlet, basal body and axoneme. The membrane domain of the OS is highly specialized, with discs (lamellar membranes) stacked in tight order at 30 per micron along the axoneme. The proteins required for phototransduction are located in or associated with these discs.
We are interested in studying how photoreceptor sensory cilia are built and maintained, and how these processes are disrupted in disease. For example, while there has been notable progress identifying the genetic causes of inherited retinal degenerations and other cilia disorders, the genes that harbor mutations which cause disease in half of patients with inherited retinal degeneration remain to be identified. To help understand PSCs better, and facilitate identification of new retinal degeneration disease genes, we performed a series of proteomic analyses to identify all of the proteins in mouse photoreceptor sensory cilia. The results show that PSCs are made of almost 2000 proteins, including ~1500 proteins not detected in cilia from lower organisms. This database of PSC proteins has already proved to be very useful. For example, in the past year we have used the list of genes that encode novel PSC proteins to help identify one confirmed and four potential new retinal degeneration disease genes.
Part of our work on PSCs is focused on the retinitis pigmentosa 1 (RP1) protein. Mutations in RP1 are a common cause of dominant RP, which is the most common form of inherited retinal degeneration. Work in our lab has found that the RP1 protein is a photoreceptor microtubule-associated protein that is required for the correct formation of PSCs. We are now working to identify proteins that interact with RP1 in order to further define how it participates in PSC formation, and study how its mutations lead to photoreceptor cell death. We are also beginning to test potential therapies for RP1 disease, including gene augmentation therapy, in point mutation Rp1 knockin mice.
Mutations in genes that encode the RNA splicing factors are common causes retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Despite their prevalence, the pathogenesis of these disorders is not understood. The splicing factors affected, pre-mRNA processing factor (PRPF) 3, PRPF8, PRPF31 are highly conserved components of the spliceosome, the complex which excises introns from nascent RNA transcripts to generate mature mRNAs. Since RNA splicing is required in all cells, it is not clear how mutations in these ubiquitous proteins lead to retina-specific disease. We hypothesize that mutations in these RNA splicing factors disrupt RNA splicing and lead to the generation of aberrant transcripts and proteins in the retina and other tissues, one or more of which are pathogenic in the retina. We have generated Prpf3 and Prpf8 knockin mice to investigate the pathogenesis of the RNA splicing factor forms of RP. We are now using exon microarray and next generation sequencing based transcriptome analyses to identify aberrant mRNAs that may be pathogenic in these disorders.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common cause of vision loss in developed countries. The most characteristic clinical finding in the retinas of patients with AMD is drusen, or extracellular deposits of protein, lipid and debris that accumulate underneath the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). At present, the etiology of drusen in AMD is not known, and there are only limited treatments are available to prevent the progression of AMD. In order to gain insight into the pathogenesis of AMD, we are studying an inherited form of macular degeneration called Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy (DHRD)/Malattia Leventinese (ML). Both DHRD and ML are caused by a single mutation, Arg-345 to Trp (R345W), in the EFEMP1 or Fibulin-3 gene. We have used gene targeting techniques to introduce this mutation into the Efemp1 gene of mice. We have found that the Efemp1-R345W knockin mice develop AMD-like deposits under their retinas, and are now using proteomic analyses to study the pathogenesis of these lesions.
The fundamental premise of this project that oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) can be used to introduce sequence-specific alterations into the genomic DNA of stem cells. In mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, the goal of ODN-mediated gene targeting is to create knock-in mouse models of human disease. In adult and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS), the use of ODNs is directed toward the therapeutic correction of pathogenic mutations in human disease genes. Results generated from our research and from other investigators in the past several years have demonstrated proof of principle for this approach. We are workinng to build on these successes to develop strategies for broad application of ODN-mediated gene correction for the treatment of human disease and ODN-mediated gene targeting for the generation of mouse models of disease.

Mumbai may be the future home of the world's tallest building.
You'll Never Guess Where the World's Tallest Building Is Going to Be
Bianca Bahamondes
If these plans are approved, Dubai will no longer be home to the world's tallest building
Dubai holds the current record for having the world's tallest building with the Burj Khalifa standing at 2,717 feet and 163 stories — but India is coming for that title. India's minister for road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari, wants to beautify Mumbai with "a green, smart road, three times bigger than the Marine Drive" and a "historic landmark bigger than Burj Khalifa."
The plans for this project have not been approved yet, but if they are the building will be a space for offices, commercial use, businesses, and entertainment in Mumbai's seaport. However, the people of India are not as thrilled about this as you may think.
@EconomicTimes Misplaced priorities... Someone needs to tell this guy India news food, water, shelter, jobs......not buildings

What models for T-MAX 530 we have?
This year J.Costa have worked for increase the quality and performances of all variator, for this reason we want that you know the models that we have available for T-MAX 530.
We have available the variator for T-MAX 2017!
I couldnt find the jcosta Proracer to buy in Austria or German. Question 1: where to buy?
Question2: What is the differenz between the proracer and the pro? Only the weight of the pully's?
Question 3: How many gramms has the Proracer versus the Pro?
I have the Tmax 2017.
The difference is the performances, PRORACER has more permofances than PRO.
For T-MAX 2017 we recommend you XRP, this year we have incoporated two sets of rollers.
I bought and built in the IT6052pro for t-max DX with 15,3 g. I only get max. 6100 rpm acceleration speed by 100 kmh. At 50-80 kmh its only 5000 rpm. I should get 7000 rpm acceleration speed. Whats the problem with costa?


Police are offering a £20,000 reward to anyone who can aid them in tracking down two men who attacked a man leading to his death.
On their website detectives from the homicide and major crime departments of the Metropolitan police are appealing for witnesses to an assault in Trafalgar Square which happened on Saturday June 3 2017.
51-year-old victim Desmond O'Beirne was filmed on CCTV at 12.25am running away from his attackers near the National Gallery before they floored him with a single punch.
Rushed to hospital, O'Beirne never regained consciousness dying from his injuries on Wednesday December 20 last year, six months after the attack.
The post-mortem examination revealed the cause of death was a head injury prompting the launch of a murder investigation.
Now police are renewing their appeal to find the attackers, offering the reward to anyone 'providing vital information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the people responsible for the murder'.
The first suspect, who punched the victim, had a top knot and full beard wearing a red t-shirt, dark trousers and light coloured shoes.
His accomplice, who kicked O'Beirne while he lay unconscious, was wearing a black jacket with a white motif on the right shoulder, dark trousers and a white top.
Someone might see this video and remember that they witnessed this incident; you will see a female who is clearly shocked by what has happened and holds her hands up to her face.
You may have been part of the group and did not realise how seriously Desmond was hurt and that he has now died.
That may pray on your mind. You can contact us and help us get justice. Desmond was an inoffensive man, a big man and character, who was out having a drink. The CCTV shows that he was senselessly attacked and he never stood a chance.
The events of Desmond's attack precede the London Bridge terrorist attacks which were in the following evening. So whilst there is a passage of time, people will remember where they were in London, and could remember this incident.
I'm asking anyone who took any footage or selfies around that time in to contact us; take a look through your photos and see if you have something that can help us.
My brother Desmond was hard working and larger than life. He was on a night out in Trafalgar Square when he was brutally and viciously attacked by two cowards who then calmly walked away and left him for dead.
As a direct result of this attack he suffered a traumatic brain injury and was left in a vegetative state. Desmond's life was ended far too soon and our family is left devastated by his loss.
Unfortunately for Desmond, his attack happened less than 24 hours before the London Bridge/Borough Market terrorist attacks and I feel that possible witnesses may have focused their attentions on those events.
I am trying to get justice for Desmond, his two attackers were very distinctive and part of a larger group. I hope that witnesses and those from that group who did not know how serious the attack was will now come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8785 8099. To give information anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.

Serie A: 2019-2020
Despite Some Post-Lockdown Surprises, Roma's Fullbacks Marred by Inconsistency
From Florenzi leaving the capital to the post lockdown emergence of Spinazzola and Peres it was a season few could've predicted out wide in Roma's defense.

Normally, these positional reviews are chunked into four groups with all the defenders finding themselves on the same report card. However, with active transfer markets in both the summer and January, there were just too many faces to fit into one post, so we're breaking down just the fullbacks after covering the six centerbacks yesterday.
Heading into the season, there were plenty of question marks and concerns at fullback, especially at right back. That shouldn't come as a surprise, since it's been an ongoing dilemma for the club for some time now.
With starting at left-back, Aleksandar Kolarov not getting any younger, Roma brought in Leonardo Spinazzola as a deputy. In the process, the club sacrificed one of its brightest prospects, Luca Pellegrini, in a financially motivated move.
Of course, Alessandro Florenzi was a divisive figure playing out of position at right back. But Roma tried to remedy that with the arrival of veteran Davide Zappacosta on loan from Chelsea, who replaced the disappointing Rick Karsdorp. Meanwhile, Davide Santon, once thought to be excess goods, would see his fair share of time as well.
If that wasn't enough, January saw the return to the capital of Bruno Peres. The same Bruno Peres who had been exiled to Brazil's Serie B. And to the shock of Romanisti everywhere, he actually became a key member of the starting XI down the stretch. Oh, and we even got a glimpse of one of Roma's top prospects in Riccardo Calafiori.
Got all that? OK, good. So, let's hand out the final grades to Roma's fullbacks for 2019-20.
Aleksandar Kolarov
Photo by Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty Images
Appearances: 32 (Serie A)| Goals: 7 |Key Passes Per Game: 1.8| Accurate Long Balls Per Game: 2.8
The 34-year-old Kolarov just keeps producing for the Giallorossi. He may be a step slower than when he first arrived in the Italian Capital. and his tracking back leaves something to be desired at this point in his career, but you'd be hard pressed to find a left-back with the ball playing and goal-scoring ability of Kolarov.
Kolarov's free-kick ability is also one of the best in the league, which exponentially adds to his value at this point in his career. He led all Serie A defenders with seven goals and his four assists trailed only Atalanta's Rafael Toloi (6). On top of that, Kolarov very nearly could've cracked double-digit goals when you consider his four posts hit.
The late season shift to a three man back-line saw Kolaov shift to a left-sided defender rather than a wing-back. He had his moments where his defending could've been better but it looks likes a move that could extend his career if Fonseca sticks to that system.
His occasional defensive lapses bring down his overall grade, but Kolarov's offensive contributions from the back continue to make him an important member of the squad.
Final Grade: B+
Prediction for Next Year: Kolaorv will continue to be an important member of the squad, but Fonseca should manage his minutes a bit more. If Roma reverts back to a four man defense then Kolarov should split the left-back role with Spinazzola. If Fonseca decides to continue with the back three then he'll probably split time between left center-back and left wing-back.
Appearances: 14 (Serie A)| Successful Long Ball Per Game: 3.2| Blocks: 1 | Passes Per Game: 41.4
Florenzi's career trajectory has been one of the most frustrating in recent Roma history. From highly regarded youngster to make-shift right-back, Florenzi was the ultimate team player when he sacrificed personal success to help fill a gaping hole for the club. Inexplicably played out of position year after year, Zappacosta's arrival should've allowed Florenzi to move back up the pitch.
Yet, with Zappa injured Florenzi was again mostly stuck in the right-back rotation. As has been an issue throughout his time in the back, Florenzi's defending and crossing left a lot to be desired. Fonseca wasn't a fan and often favored Santon and Spinazzola over him, limiting his playing time.
With the Euros looming (pre-Covid), Florenzi decided to take an out to get more playing time at Valencia. We won't call his half season as captain a complete failure, but he was again a below average player as a defender.
Final Grade: D+
Prediction for Next Year: His attacking ability makes you wonder if he could be a fit in the 3-4-2-1 as a wing back where his defensive liabilities could be masked a bit. However, it's most likely that his time at Roma is finished. Fiorentina and Atalanta have been named the most likely destinations.
Photo by FRIEDEMANN VOGEL/POOL/AFP via Getty Images
Appearances: 24 (Serie A)| Clearances Per Game: 1.5| Successful Crosses Per Game: 0.7| Key Passes Per Game: 0.9
Is there anyone who benefited more from the shift to a 3-4-2-1 formation than Spinazzola? The 27-year-old Italian was one of Roma's most disappointing players in the first half of the season, splitting time between both left and right-back and was nearly off-loaded to Inter for Matteo Politano in January. At that time, Spinazzola looked like a complete bust considering his large price tag in the swap deal for Luca Pellergini.
But then the post-lockdown formation switch happened and Spinazzola looked like a man reborn. Always more of a wing-back than a full-back throughout his career, the Italian was a natural fit after the switch, becoming one of Roma's better performers down the stretch.
With the extra defensive cover, Spinazzola used his blistering pace to get up and down the wing with ease making him a much more productive player on the ball. His successful dribbles increased and key passes nearly double from 0.93 to 1.95 after the switch. He's still prone to the odd gaffe (see the penalty conceded to Inter), but depending on what tactics Fonseca uses next season Spinazzola could be an asset for Roma as a wing-back.
Final Grade: B-
Prediction for Next Year: Fonseca's choice of tactics may affect Spinazzola more than anyone else in the squad. In a 3-4-2-1 he is the preferred option at left wing-back. in the 4-2-3-1 he probably splits the left-back role with Kolarov.
Davide Zappacosta
Appearances: 9 (appearances)| Significant Injuries: 1|
You have to feel for Zappacosta. Brought in on loan from Chelsea to solve Roma's right-back issues, the Italian tore his ACL just minutes into his Roma debut. Thus he missed almost the entire season, making his return post lockdown. Even then Zappacosta wasn't at his best and was surpassed on the depth chart by Bruno Peres.
The missed time and Peres' emergence limited Zappacosta to just nine appearances and only three starts. If it weren't for the injury, his season (and Peres') likely transpire very differently. It's hard to truly judge Zappacosta considering the circumstances, so take his grade with a grain of salt.
Final Grade: C-
Prediction for Next Year: Returned to Chelsea after the loan expiration, he'll likely ended up back on the Italian peninsula somewhere. If Roma are in search of a second right-back, he could be a cost effective option if Chelsea would loan him out again.
Bruno Peres
Photo by Mario Carlini - Iguana Press/Getty Images
Appearances: 16|Goals: 2 |Successful Long Balls Per Game: 1.4 | Successful Crosses Per Game: 0.9
Peres' return to Roma in an important role was the 'I bet you didn't see that coming' moment of the 2019-20 season. After an unsuccessful loan spell in Brazil's second division, Peres somehow won over Fonseca upon his return to the capital in January. An opportunity that was afforded thanks to Zappacosta's injury and Florenzi's loan to Valencia.
Peres was adequate as a full-back in Roma's four man back line, but really saw an improvement upon the switch to a wing-back role. Much like Spinazzola, Peres' best seasons in his career came as a wing-back and Roma reaped the benefits.
Peres was far from perfect defensively (just see the Sevilla match), but contributed plenty down Roma's right flank. His two goal performance against SPAL being the highlight of his season.
Final Grade: C+
Prediction for Next Year: Peres' situation is an interesting one. Fonseca seems to like him, but it's hard to imagine Roma would go into the season with him as the first choice at right-back considering his full history in the capital. I put it at 50/50 that he's back with Roma, as he could be off-loaded if Roma can find a better option.
Photo by Jonathan Moscrop/Getty Images
Appearances: 15 (Serie A) | Tackles Per Game: 0.7| Interceptions Per Game: 0.7| Passing Percentage: 90.8%
Santon is never going to be the star player that many thought he could be when he came up at Inter. However, after being a throw in as part of the Nainggolan deal, Santon provided Roma with a second decent campaign providing extra cover along the back.
Not one to light up the stat sheet, Santon provided better defensive cover than players like Florenzi and Spinazzola in the first half of the season. His playing time was close to zero with the emergence of Peres and only played 34 minutes after the lockdown.
All things considered, Santon did what you expect of a player in his role.
Final Grade: C
Prediction for Next Year: Santon likely returns in a similar role where he can provide extra cover at fullback without being relied on too heavily.
Riccardo Calafiori
Photo by Mattia Ozbot/Soccrates/Getty Images
Appearances: 1| Penalties Draw: 1| Wonder Goals Disallowed: 1 |
Earlier we mentioned Roma off-loading one of its brightest prospects in Luca Pellegrini last summer. Pellegrini may have been expendable because the Giallorossi have another highly regarded left-back prospect in Calafiori. The 18-year-old Italian made his Roma debut on the last match day and showed glimpses of his vast potential.
He won't receive a grade after just 60 minutes on the pitch, but he's worth keeping an eye on. He looks to have a bright future.
Final Grade: Incomplete
Prediction for Next Year: There's talk that some big clubs are after his signature, but Roma would be wise to keep him around after sacrificing Pellegrini just one year ago. There's a chance he sticks around to deputize for Spinazzola in a 3-4-2-1 if Kolarov is going to play more LCB than wing-back. However, a loan to a newly promoted side could be best for his development to have him ready for the post-Kolarov era.

Weidmann says ECB could take longer to hit inflation target
German Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann adddresses the European Banking Congress at the Old Opera house in Frankfurt, Germany November 20, 2015. REUTERS/Ralph Orlowski
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank should be flexible about the time it takes to lift inflation back to target and should worry about low bank profits as they could reduce the effectiveness of its policies, Governing Council member Jens Weidmann said.
Struggling with ultra low inflation for years, the ECB has debated how quickly it needs to raise inflation to its objective of almost 2 percent and whether the definition of "medium term" could reach beyond its 2018 forecasts horizon.
"Medium term is not 'sometime in the distant future,' but it is also not 'as soon as possible and at any price', Weidmann, also the head of Germany's Bundesbank, said on Wednesday. "Medium term thus deliberately contains some ambiguity regarding the exact time horizon."
The ECB does not currently expect inflation to rise back to target through 2018.
Weidmann, one of the ECB's top hawks, also argued that even with inflation dipping into negative territory recently, he does not see the risk of sustained deflation, or fall in prices.
He was also not convinced that the drop in core inflation, which strips out volatile components such as food and energy prices, would continue.
The ECB cut rates and expanded its asset purchase program earlier this month to boost inflation in a move opposed by Weidmann, who argued that government bond buys should be an emergency tool and warned that banking profits would suffer.
"We as central bankers are not so much concerned about banking profits but about banks' ability to transmit monetary policy," Weidmann said in a speech in Lichtenstein. "And this ability to transmit policy is not independent of their capital base, because that largely determines how well banks can absorb shocks."
Weidmann also warned that ultra low rates could lead to asset bubbles and also reduced governments' willingness to carry out structural reforms, a precondition to faster growth and a revival of inflation.
