Neerattupuram
Last updated on March 22nd, 2020 at 11:05 am by Pratish
Neerattupuram is a small, beautiful place at Thalavady Village of Kuttanad Taluk, Alappuzha district, Kerala (India). Today Neerattupuram is pronounced as Neerettupuram. It is also written as Neerettupuram in many places. But still, officially the place is written as called Neerattupuram.
Neerattupuram was not much popular till the 20th century. At the beginning of 21st century, a temple in Neerattupuram, Sri Chakkulathukavu Devi Temple becomes so popular and thereby the place is now known to the world as Chakkulathukavu. Now the people outside Neerattupuram do not know that the place's real name is Neerattupuram, but the place is known to them as Chakkulathukavu.

Neerattupuram is located at Thalavady Village of Kuttanad Taluk in Alappuzha district, Kerala (India). Neerattupuram is just 10 km away from Thiruvalla Railway Station and 28 km away from Alappuzha Railway Station. It's exactly situated at the border of Alappuzha and Pathanamthitta districts. A medium-sized bridge in Neerattupuram divides Alappuzha and Pathanamthitta districts. A significant portion of the land is located on the bank of the joint ventures of Pampa and Manimala rivers. Many tourists are coming here through this river from Kumarakom, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, etc.
The land has many historical backgrounds. We are studying the history of this area and will publish here as soon as the final report of our research is ready.
Name History of Neerattupuram
There are many stories behind the name of Neerattupuram. However, the most of the people believed that the name came from two Malayalam words Neerattu which means bathing and Puram which means Place. In ancient times the people called places and houses according to the landmarks or features of that Place or land. At that time people around this area used to come to the bank of the Neerattupuram river for using water, especially for bathing. Neerattupuram was the only safe and most convenient place nearby to use the water from the river for various purposes. So this place is called as Neerattu Puram because in Malayalam "Neerattu" means Bathing and "Puram" means Place. Though its name is Neerattupuram, people now pronounce it as Neerettupuram, but still, people write the place name as Neerattupuram in English.
The majority of the classes of people here are Hindus. Here there is a good relation between Hindus and Christians. The people here celebrate all religious festivals together.
Main Centre of Neerattupuram
The main centre of Neerattupuram is now near Chakkulathukavu Devi Temple & Srambical House with lots of shops and buildings. Before that, it was near M.R. Stores which was a wholesale and retail store of more than 60 years of old, but now permanently closed. The old market was bigger than the existed one and people around Neerattupuram (even up to 10kms) used to come here for purchasing everything. Now there are many shops in each and every corner of places nearby Neerattupuram.

It was a big story in Thunder Bay back in 2017 with lots of community excitement and media attention to welcome the homecoming of the de-commissioned Canadian Coast Guard former icebreaker Alexander Henry, built here in 1957-58 and now returning as a museum ship of the Lakehead Transportation Museum Society. Yet, none of it would have happened without the hard work of tugs and their crews.
It was the 97-foot tug Salvage Monarch that towed the 210-foot Alexander Henry more than 1,000 kilometres through the Great Lakes, from southern Ontario to a temporary docking facility in Thunder Bay in June 2017. Built in 1959 in Appledore, England, the classic tug was sold a few times before being acquired by Toronto Drydock, the contractor for the tow.
Then, five months later on November 23, it was the historic century-old Miseford tug—owned since 2005 by Thunder Bay Tug Services—that towed Henry across harbour to her permanent site at the Cruise Ship Dock at Pier 6, just south of Marina Park. The 80-foot Miseford was built in 1915 in Welland, Ontario and her 104-year career includes 18 years as a tugboat with the Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries.
Today, Miseford continues as part of the tug fleet of Thunder Bay Tug Services, which includes the 73-foot Glenada built in 1943 (famous for its dramatic rescue of the crew from the 110-foot Grampa Woo in 1996) and the 98-foot Point Valour built in 1958.
Tugs are an integral part of the marine history of Lake Superior, with two of the oldest ones becoming museum tugs: Edna G in Two Harbors and James Whalen in Thunder Bay.
Back 120 years ago in 1896, the 102-foot Edna G was built in Cleveland for the Duluth & Iron Range Railway (D&IR) and brought to Two Harbors to replace the tug Ella G Stone. Christened the Edna G for Edna Greatsinger, the daughter of the D&IR president Jacob Greatsinger, the tug was designed to shuttle ore carriers to and from the Two Harbors docks. She also towed barges, smaller steam ships and participated in ship rescues (e.g. the Niagara, William Edenborn and Madeira).
Except for serving along the Atlantic coast for the U.S. government during World War I, Edna G's career was served at Two Harbors. Up until the 1950s, she operated with a four-man crew (captain, engineer, lineman and fireman) working three, eight-hour shifts a day; by 1970, it was two, 12-hour shifts a day.
On June 5, 1975, the Edna G was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "last steam-driven, coal-tugboat on the Great Lakes." And in 1981, she retired from service. Her work had become obsolete with the advent of big ships with bow-thrusters that didn't require the tug's services to manoeuvre into the docks.
On June 15, 1984, Edna G was donated by the D&IR to the City of Two Harbors for display at the dock. Currently, the tug's future is in a bit of limbo due to water deterioration. If she is not taken out of the water soon, she may sink; efforts are underway to raise funds to save and refurbish her.
In Thunder Bay, the historic James Whalen tug is moored at the Kaministiquia River Heritage Park on the city's south side. However, discussions are underway to potentially move it to the north side to join the Alexander Henry and the Lakehead Transportation Museum at the Cruise Ship Dock.
Built in 1905 in Toronto as an icebreaker for the Canadian Towing & Wrecking Company of Port Arthur, it is named for its president/general manager and a pioneer businessperson, James Whalen. For 50 years, the James Whalen tug served Thunder Bay, transporting lighthouse keepers and participating in many daring ship rescues, salvaging shipwrecks and much more. She also pulled the famous luxury yacht Gunilda off the reef near Rossport before it sunk in 1911. In 1965 she was sent to southern Ontario, but after a series of owners, she was purchased by Tourism Thunder Bay and returned to the city to be refurbished as a museum tug.

24 observations from Chiefs vs. Texans
Texans Analyst
Well, that wasn't a whole lot of fun. The 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs to start the 2015 season, hopefully, won't define the 2015 season, but it certainly wasn't the statement that Bill O'Brien, coaching staff and players wanted to make to begin the year. Before we move on to Carolina, here are my observations from Sunday's game.
Prior to the game, I wasn't quite sure who was more jacked up to participate in this game more than linebackers coach Mike Vrabel. That dude could still play a series, in a pinch.
DT Vince Wilfork was called for an offside penalty on the first play of the game but he wasn't offsides. He jumped the snap as KC went with a silent count to start the game. He just anticipated the head turn of center Mitch Morse and hit it perfectly. Apparently not perfectly enough based on the side judge on the KC side of the field.
Although OLB Jadeveon Clowney didn't have any splash plays like sacks or monster hits, his first game back after microfracture surgery showed definite flashes. His power more than anything else flashed throughout. He had at least two plays that I remember where he just shocked a tight end, held him up and turned the play back inside or held it up for someone to make a play. One of JJ Watt's six tackles for a loss was a sheer result of Clowney holding up the tight end with a stab move and shoving him right back into the running back. He made two huge plays running down ball-carriers for two tackles for a loss.
Perhaps Clowney's most impressive play was his tackle on Jamaal Charles knocking him out of bounds just short of a first down as he chased the play from the inside.
In essence, Clowney's impact wasn't where it will be, but for his first action, he made significant strides.
Tackling wasn't good on Sunday. At either second or third level of the defense. Just wasn't consistent at all when it really needed to be.
Had the Texans gotten the Chiefs in more second/third and long, we might have seen more of one of my favorite alignments. Jared Crick, Whitney Mercilus and Jadeveon Clowney aligned on the same side of the defensive formation opposite JJ Watt.
Not sure what happened on the Chiefs first punt of the game, but the Texans had nine guys on the field. The Texans were in a safe look, but not everyone got the memo, it appeared.
On the same punt, rookie Keith Mumphery called a fair catch then let the ball hit three feet from him as he let it go. The Chiefs downed it at the six, instead the ball being fair caught at the 12. Not sure if it would've made a difference given the first play of the offensive series.
Honestly, I've watched the first offensive play of the game a few dozen times and I can't tell what's going on. DeAndre Hopkins doesn't look like he knows that he's supposed to be in the route. QB Brian Hoyer got a rusher right in his face and can't follow through on his throw. It was a mess from jump.
Turnovers deep in the red zone are a killer, but what will rile up Bill O'Brien and the coaching staff is that after the Marcus Peters interception, the defense gave up a TD in two plays. After the sack fumble in the second quarter, the Chiefs scored on the next play. Sudden change situations are the ultimate test for a defense and the Texans have to do a better job answering a rough situation.
I've said it for a while and will say it again, I have no concern about this wide receiver corps. Yes, Hopkins had a key drop on third down, which was a near aberration and Cecil Shorts and Nate Washington each had a drop. But, overall, Hopkins, Nate, Cecil and Keith Mumphery all made plays in the passing game and will continue to in the future. Washington's first catch as a Texan was a gem down the Chiefs sideline over the top of Tamba Hali.
The refs missed two blatant PI's on the Chiefs. One was on the post route to Cecil Shorts III on the second drive of the game. That was costly. The second one was late in the first half and perhaps even a worse miss. Those non-calls cost the Texans points. It didn't cost the Texans the game, but it didn't help the cause.
The Chiefs' 3rd and 13 screen call, midway through the first quarter was brilliant. Gotta give credit where it's due. That call was the PERFECT play call in that situation. Oh, yeah and that zone read or counter option stuff the Chiefs ran? We'll see it again next week too.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce's second touchdown wasn't what I first thought. I originally thought he crossed the formation from the offense's right. But, he didn't. He started on the left side. He drove down the field as if he was going to cross the formation, then darted out to his left wide open about 15-17 yards downfield. There wasn't a Texan in sight. Not totally sure of the coverage but whatever it was, sadly, someone blew the coverage.
The Texans rushed only four and dropped seven. The Chiefs only put three into the pattern and against seven cover guys, one guy was WIDE open. Watching it back again, slot WR Chris Conley had THREE guys tracking him down the seam. The rookie wasn't catching that ball, but unfortunately, that left no one for Kelce.
The first touchdown drive for the Texans was what this offensive group is capable of, even without Arian Foster. Protection was solid all throughout that drive. The run game hit big a couple of times, minus a great play by LB Derrick Johnson earlier in the drive. Hoyer threw it well. THAT'S what it was supposed to look like all day long. Hop's TD catch was just sublime.
Don't ever say that pre-season doesn't matter. The Chiefs ran toss crack, something the Texans struggled with in pre-season games. The Chiefs cut block a significant number of times in this game, especially after the Broncos had success doing so in game number two. I wrote down a few times "Chiefs cutting well". The Texans' flaws, so to speak, versus those plays came up at inopportune times in the opener.
Boy, Nate Washington made some big-time catches throughout the day. At this point, he is the best value of any off-season signing/acquisition.
DeAndre had three drops all last season. Seeing him drop a pass is odd and that one on third and one was just a rough one to see.
On the fourth and one play, the Texans ran one of my favorite plays - weakside isolation. I couldn't see that play originally, but RT Derek Newton and RG Brandon Brooks made excellent blocks. The Chiefs were in a bear 46 front with a free safety at the strong side ILB. It was blocked well enough to get the first down. The breakdown was on the two backs in the backfield. The two backs on that play didn't execute well enough to get that first down play, simply put. In all honesty, the way Newton and Brooks blocked that play, it should've been a clean first down and perhaps more than that. That 4th and one was the unfortunate epitome of the day - some good, some really good, far outweighed by costly bad.
During the game broadcast, I noted that it felt like all game the entire team needed a shot of some "juice" as Bill O'Brien calls it. QB Ryan Mallett's arrival in the game seemed to be that booster shot.
It didn't seem as if Mallett had any nerves, he had nothing to lose, he was just firing. The rock came out of his hand hot, on time and on target. His best throw was on 2nd and 10 when a clean blitzer was flying up in the A gap; he stood tall and delivered a dart to Hopkins for a first down.
One last note before I sign off, please, PLEASE, appreciate what we're seeing from J.J. Watt. Nine total tackles. Six tackles for a loss. Two sacks. It's almost difficult to put into words what he does on a football field. The numbers are ridiculous, but the fact that he never comes off the field is so incredibly impressive. It's greatness right in front of us, so hopefully none of us truly take it for granted. Team success will follow soon but No. 99 is special.
Well, it's on to Carolina to get back to 1-1 and put this loss in the rearview mirror. See ya' then everyone.

Britain after Brexit: Now it must – again – define itself as a nation
Britain has left the European Union. The historic referendum has left the sitting government in hot water. Now, David Cameron has pledged to resign, the pound has dropped drastically, and the UK's legislators are left with the daunting task of redefining themselves, as well as renegotiating with the rest of the world. For some, the day marks a reclamation of British democracy, whereby the people of the country now are free from the bureaucratic shackles of Brussels. For others, it marks a historical step back, sending Britain into isolation again with the prospects of recession on the horizon.
"What lies ahead is a monolithic task for British lawmakers to build an independent future for Britain, and forge a path to the future in law and trade."
Indeed, Britain's political scene will see great changes in the next few months. The Prime Minister lost his great gamble on the EU, announcing his departure from office by October. Meanwhile the likes of Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are declaring independence day. Likely, they will play a large part in the new face of the government. The result has also prompted Alex Salmond to call for a second independence referendum for Scotland, stating that it is the result of "Scotland being taken out of the EU against our will".
This is a result that has been brewing for years, as anti-Brussels rhetoric has been on the rise from both sides of the aisle in British politics. For years, the political scene in the UK has been fiercely anti-Brussels. Now, with growing austerity and pressure on immigration what was once rhetoric has turned into a reality. 'Remain' campaigners were sure to make clear the risks of Brexit, and warned of an immediate recession. This morning, the FTSE 100 index opened with an 8% plunge, along with the sterling. What lies ahead is a monolithic task for British lawmakers to build an independent future for Britain, and forge a path to the future in law and trade. It must, again, define itself as a nation.
Will Brexit be the end of the EU in general? Of course, this question has its roots not only in the rhetorical quips of the British government, but in the very structure of the EU itself. In the years to come, they will be facing referendum after referendum if they do not enact sweeping organisational reforms. Anti-EU rhetoric is high across many of the European countries and a fear is that this result will embolden nationalist movements across Europe, sparking more divide. Donald Tusk, President of the European Council has said that the European countries must meet to discuss the future of the EU and how they are to respond to the UK's decision to leave. Facing disunity at historic levels both economically and politically, one thing remains clear: They must reform.
Britain's history with the EU goes back to the Second World War. The European Coal and Steel Community banded together in the wake of WWII to align Europe economically to prevent the same kind of violent bloodshed. From then on it has created the common, and then single market, faced energy crises, dictators (General Franco, for example) and the environment. It has grown closer politically and in mutual defence, eventually establishing its own basis with the Lisbon Treaty.
"The EU must, too, redefine itself or face further disbandment."
Britain joined the European Economic Community under the leadership of Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath in 1973, supported by more than 67% of Britons in the 1975 referendum. The relationship was at times strained, with Thatcher pushing against a political union, and humiliation at "Black Wednesday". But it also seemed to be growing ever closer, by way of Blair bringing the UK nearer to the Euro as well as enacting EU social protections. With all of its exemptions and powers in the institution, Britain will be invoking the Lisbon Treaty and packing its bags.
A project once known as ambitious and democratic has been widely labelled overbearing and bureaucratic. The future of the UK is at stake with economic and political pressures from within. The EU must, too, redefine itself or face further disbandment. We undeniably sit in times of ambiguity with regard to the future of both the UK and the EU. However, one thing is certain: There is a lot of work to be done.

Educational inequality – addressing the root causes
In the face of rising poverty levels and with this, rising educational inequality, the education system in the UK is in clear need of reform. King's Think Tank hosted a panel discussion on 'The Inequality of Education in the UK' on the 23rd November 2015 – an opportune event in light of the upcoming Spending Review, as education is the third largest area of public expenditure. Over one hundred think tank members joined panelists David Hoare – Chair of Ofsted, Amy Finch – Researcher on Education Policy at Reform, James Dobson – Researcher at Bright Blue, as well as Johnny Luk – CEO of NACUE (National Association of College and University Entrepreneurs). Head of the Education Policy Centre Francesca Tripaldi, introduced the debate providing an overview of post-war education policy to date, scrutinizing current reforms proposed by Secretary of State for Education Nicky Morgan MP.

Editor's Note: This was written before the Commons vote on air-strikes in Syria, but serves as a well-thought through indictment of an ill-thought through rush to war. It is a long read, but an important one.
The terror attacks that took place on Friday 13th of November 2015 have proved to be a catalyst for a shift in policy away from the containment of ISIS to its destruction. Parallel to this there has been a shifting discourse concerning not only the nature and identity of Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, but also of European and western society. The long term cultural impact of recent events has yet to be revealed. However, in the immediate term it is important to present three questions. A) What is the regional context in which ISIS operates? B) How can ISIS be defeated? C) How can regional stability be established?

July 23, 2015 September 7, 2018 Leave a comment
There is waste happening all around us – waste of food, waste of money, waste of resources. There is however a deeply saddening waste which is happening under all of our noses. It's the waste of human talent – hundreds of thousands of young people in our country who do not fulfil their full potential. I'm talking about the so-called "less able" who are not given high expectations, the "more able" who are not challenged further and the cosy middle who are mollycoddled and not stretched beyond their comfort zone.

How do we fill in the Gaps in Education Policy? A Look at the US and the UK.
February 23, 2015 September 7, 2018 Leave a comment
It almost goes without saying that education is the key to success. But it does still need to be said, because huge achievement gaps in primary and secondary education stubbornly persist in both the United States and the UK. Children from different socioeconomic, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds are simply not awarded the same educational opportunities, a discrepancy that has profound consequences for their chances later in life. This gap is often quantifiable. For example, why is it that in 2008 test scores for black seventeen-year-olds in the US, as opposed to their white seventeen-year-old peers, reflected a difference in learning approximately equivalent to three fewer years of school? Why are there two black Caribbean students for every three white British students in the highest testing tier at age fourteen, even when these students' test scores at age eleven were equivalent? Clearly, something crucial is missing in the approaches that both countries currently take to educating diverse groups of students. The question that follows is whether current policy is capable of addressing these trends, and, if not, what the most effective and efficient policies might be.

What is the Current Framework Behind Military Exports Regulation in the UK?
At the panel discussion on the global defence industry we tried to understand the framework behind the regulation of military export licenses in the United Kingdom. Professor Trevor Taylor, who is currently working at the Defence Management at the Royal United Services Institute, mainly spoke about the current structure of military export regulations. As he explained, the United Kingdom operates under the European code conduct – or at least in theory. This conduct consists mainly of eight criteria that all the members of the European Union – even the United Kingdom – are required to follow.

Transatlantic Trade: A Solution to Economic Stagnation or a Destroyer of European Standards?
February 4, 2015 June 22, 2016 Leave a comment
TTIP, or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, is an agreement between the US and the EU that emphasizes the depreciation of tariffs and the assuagement of trade regulations. While the deal will promote market accessibility, it will have serious consequences for major trade sectors, including pharmaceuticals, energy, clothing, and finance.

Antiracism as Daily Practice
A two-day training to deepen your analysis and clarify antiracist values in your daily life.
2023 Dates | Location
Friday, February 3 + Monday February 6, 2023
Thursday, May 18 - Friday May 19, 2023
Thursday, August 3 - Friday August 4, 2023

10:00am-2:00pm PT / 1:00pm-5:00pm ET
via Zoom meetings
About Everyday Justice
Everyday we must work to align our antiracist values with our thoughts and actions. The only cure for racism is doing the work of everyday justice. It is no longer a question of if we should engage in this work. The question is how.
This conversation will provide frameworks and a baseline analysis for antiracism strategies and action. As a member of an ever changing community, what is your role? What is your responsibility for social change? Where do you have agency?
Please note: The content of Everyday Justice is focused on analysis building. It is a precursor to Strategies for Change which focuses on action, implementation, and operationalizing antiracism values. Many of the lessons in this training are covered in our Beyond Diversity, National Facilitator, and Everyday Justice organizational trainings. Everyday Justice is best suited for those who have not participated in those trainings or who would like to revisit foundational antiracist and social justice concepts.
The workshop will be conducted virtually with a combination of personal reflection, small group work, racial affinity spaces, and large group conversations. Participants will receive a resource packet that will be useful in navigating anti-racism work both during and following the training. This workshop will have capacity for 100-120 participants.
We ask that participants be fully present for all 8 hours (4 hours each day) of this training. This workshop is designed as one conversation that builds thematically, layering one concept after another. Missing key aspects of the session will make it challenging for the individual and their co-learners.
Computer-generated captions are available for all programming. ASL Interpretation and/or Live Captioning is available if requested two weeks prior to the training. For other access support, please let us know at the time of registration.
For day of technical support, please email meet@artEquity.org
Registration is $250.00 US. The cost of registration goes toward facilitation fees, access services, and technical + administrative support.
Participants may exchange once within the calendar year. The exchanged registration can be used for the original registrant or changed to a new individual. Requests for exchanges should come at least two business days before the start of the session.
Refunds will be made in full up to two weeks before the training if requested for the original purchase date. We cannot issue refunds for registrations that have previously been exchanged to a new date.
Please contact Margaret Toomey at meet@artEquity.org to make arrangements for groups of 5 or more.
While we do not provide group rates, it is important that each participant registers individually so that we know how to best support their training experience.
We strongly believe that these training sessions should not be mandated.
We are available to support you in creating the appropriate invitation for your group.

Solution structure of a peptide nucleic acid duplex from NMR data: features and limitations.
This paper describes the results of a 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy study of a palindromic 8-base pair PNA duplex GGCATGCC in H2O and H2O-D2O solutions. The (1)H NMR peaks have been assigned for most of the protons of the six central base pairs, as well as for several amide protons of the backbone. The resulting 36 interbase and base-backbone distance restraints were used together with Watson-Crick restraints to generate the PNA duplex structure in the course of 10 independent simulated annealing runs followed by restrained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in explicit water. The resulting PNA structures correspond to a P-type helix with helical parameters close to those observed in the crystal structures of PNA. Based on the current limited number of restraints obtained from NMR spectra, alternative structures obtained by MD from starting PNA models based on DNA cannot be ruled out and are also discussed.

. (Radio.com) Turn The Lights On! Producer and now singer Rico Love stopped by Power 98's Morning Maddhouse to talk about his evolution in the music game. As a student of the game, Rico Love is having now tons of artists come to him to help them 'craft' their own styling on the records.
Starting as Usher's first signed artist in 2003, Rico struggled at first to make a name for himself, but instead of getting money from Usher to make a hit record, Usher gave him the opportunity to write on his Confessions album. By writing "Throwback" and solidifying his first record, Rico decided to drop being an artist and start writing tracks, especially after getting "a big fat check" from the label after Usher's Confessions album sold 29 million.
Rico has written some incredibly hit records including Pleasure P's "Boyfriend #2″ and Usher's "Daddy's Home" and "There Goes My Baby" along with pop hits like Natasha Bedingfield's "Love Like This" and David Guetta's "Without You." Beyonce, French Montana, T.I., Diddy, Melanie Fiona are just some other big hip-hop artists that he has written for.
But after all of these years of writing songs, he's ready to become an artist of his own.
"If Jimmy Irvine told me to do a record, then I'm going to do a record," says Rico, who actually signed himself because he owns his own record label!

Prisogaster is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Prisogasterinae of the family Turbinidae, the turban snails.

Description
"The very solid, imperforate shell has an ovate or subglobular shape. It is dark colored. The large aperture is oblique. The inner surface of the operculum is yellow, subconcave, with a submarginal, basal nucleus. Its outer surface is very convex."

Radula: "The median tooth has a very wide body, and supporting wings. The cusp narrowly reflects along the whole upper margin of the tooth. The laterals show prominent cusps, their bases are denticulate. The inner marginals are not enlarged, but rather narrow, with long simple cusps. The outer marginals show long serrate cusps. In the denticulate cusps of the lateral teeth, and the narrow inner marginals this form approaches more closely than any other to Leptothyra. "

Researchers find immune component to rare neurodegenerative disease
UT Southwestern researchers have identified an immune protein tied to the rare neurodegenerative condition known as Niemann-Pick disease type C. The finding, made in mouse models and published online in Nature, could offer a powerful new therapeutic target for Niemann-Pick disease type C, a condition that was identified more than a century ago but still lacks effective treatments.
"Niemann-Pick disease has never been considered an immune disorder," says study leader Nan Yan, Ph.D., associate professor of immunology and microbiology. "These findings put it in a whole new light."
Niemann-Pick disease type C, which affects about 1 in every 150,000 people worldwide, has long been considered a disease of cholesterol metabolism and distribution, a topic well-studied at UT Southwestern, where faculty members Michael Brown, M.D., and Joseph Goldstein, M.D., won the Nobel Prize in 1985 for their discovery of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, which led to the development of statin drugs.
When the Npc1 gene is mutated, cholesterol isn't sent where it's needed in cells, causing the progressive decline in motor and intellectual abilities that characterize Niemann-Pick. Yan's lab, which doesn't study cholesterol metabolism, made its discovery by chance while researching an immune protein known as STING, short for stimulator of interferon genes.
STING is a critical part of the body's defense against viruses, typically relying on another protein known as cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) to sense DNA and turn on immune genes to fight off viral invaders. The cGAS enzyme was identified at UT Southwestern.
STING journeys to different organelles to perform various tasks before it ends up in lysosomes, which serve as cellular garbage dumps. Disposal of STING is critical for an appropriate immune response, explains Yan; research from his lab and others has shown that when STING isn't properly discarded, it continues to signal immune cells, leading to a variety of autoimmune conditions.
To determine what proteins interact with STING as it travels through cells, Yan and his colleagues used a technique called proximity labeling, which causes other proteins around a protein of interest to glow. After analyzing their data, Yan's team was surprised to find that STING interacts with a protein that's located on the surface of lysosomes and is produced by the Npc1 gene.
Because STING had never been implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type C, Yan and his team investigated whether it might play a role. The researchers removed the gene for STING from mice in which the Npc1 gene had also been deleted. Deleting Npc1 typically causes progressive problems in motor function, but animals with both the Npc1 and Sting genes deleted remained healthy.
Further research suggested that the protein produced by Npc1 has a binding site for STING that allows it to enter lysosomes for disposal. When the protein produced by Npc1 is missing, STING remains in cells, propagating Niemann-Pick disease type C. When Yan and his colleagues analyzed cells from human Niemann-Pick disease type C patients, they found that several immune-stimulating genes were overactive, as would be expected if STING disposal was defective.
In addition, Yan found that STING signaling is activated independently of cGAS in Niemann-Pick disease. This expands STING biology beyond its conventional role in host defense against infection.
Yan says that his lab and others are investigating the use of experimental drugs that inhibit STING to treat various autoimmune conditions. These compounds may also be useful for Niemann-Pick disease type C.

Minister Bastienne's World Food Day message | 16 October 2020
Minister Bastienne
'We should all do our part to build resilience towards a better food and nutrition security'
"Today, October 16, 2020 we celebrate once more the World Food Day, a time to reflect profoundly on the state of food and agriculture within our country.
"This year World Food Day also celebrates the 75thanniversary of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Canada on October 16, 1945.
"This year's theme for World Food Day's celebrations is very fitting to the occasion: 'Grow, Nourish, Sustain. Together: Our Actions are Our Future'; a theme that provides the moral impetus and urges us to go along together, to get up, rebuild and consolidate the future.
"Together within our respective natural borders, more than ever before, we should do our part to build resilience towards a better food and nutrition security. There are increasing threats to our over-dependency on food imports. Each one of us should assume the role of contributing in whatever way we can to nourish ourselves from our personal endeavours. As a result we could have greater control on what we eat as to allow our daily food intake of precious and wholesome foods.
"Compared to many countries worldwide, Seychelles was in past blessed and spared from natural calamities and widespread diseases and conflicts, until the coronavirus struck the world at the end of last year, bringing an impact on food and nutrition security and affecting our economy.
"Fortunately, the government, through the Comprehensive Plan for Agriculture, was already giving a new impetus to the agricultural sector, engaging farmers to be more productive, to involve them on contract farming, to plant under shade houses, to assist those in need with loans with lower interest rates, among many other initiatives.
"The government has built on all these and at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, President Danny Faure set up a High Level Committee (HLC) on Food Security Surveillance, chaired by myself, Charles Bastienne, to ensure food security in the country. Some of the measures taken are as follows:
Ensuring that all 14 essentials items remain at the pre-Covid 19 prices.
Revision of essential commodities list, adding six additional items and all are exempted from VAT
Ensure that STC and Seypec have solid stocks in their reserve
An emergency plan for agriculture to ensure the availability of inputs in all requisite stores and government subsidizes all agricultural inputs to maintain pre-Covid 19 prices, allowing farmers to maintain the prices of their local produce.
Government's intervention so that day old chicks do not increase
Subvention on animal feed.
Increase on levies on imported pork and poultry
An emergency plan for fisheries was set up to ensure that the population had sufficient fish to consume during the pandemic.
"Moreover, as part of the World Food Day activities this week, a host of activities have been organised to further boost these national efforts.
"The re-launch of the national campaign 'Every Home a Garden' by the High Level Committee on Food Security Surveillance refreshes this spirit of investing in the hands of each abled Seychellois the responsibility as well as the mandatory contribution to his/her personal nourishment, hence his/her food and nutrition security.
"In support of this, the launch of the national campaign 'Every School a Garden' provides synergies to the campaign on home gardening and the two campaigns are self-re-enforcing.
"To further boost the national food security, the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture is adopting a modern approach towards optimising and valorising land use in the country. A large zone of some 10 to 15 hectares of land at Montagne Posée has been earmarked for a National Orchard.
"In addition to its effort to further boost local production, which is in line with FAO's theme for this year, the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture also launched a new initiative earlier this week, La Semence – Youth Farming Enterprise. The programme is destined to Seychellois youth from 18 to 35 years old, with an ability for farming to get into local commercial farming.
"These new initiatives will surely compliment the great work currently being undertaken by our hard working, passionate and devoted farmers. The Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture proudly announces a remarkable increase in broiler chicken, pork, and egg production this year compared to last year.
"From January to September 2020, the ministry has recorded 654 tonnes of broiler compared to 483 tonnes during the same period last year. This represents an increase of 35 percent. We are now at 22 percent of consumption compared to 14 percent two years ago. Our target is to hit 25 percent by the end of this year.
"For pork production, from January to September 2019 a total of 328 tonnes of pork were produced compared to 430 tonnes in the same period this year. This represents an increase of 31 percent of pork production. We are at 41 percent of consumption compared to 29 percent two years ago.
"As for egg production, there has been an increase of 6 percent from January to September this year compared to the same period last year. A total of 25.8 million eggs were recorded last year compared to 27.3 million eggs during the same period this year. All these reflect the commitment of the government and the farmers to increase the level of local production to ensure that our nation eat fresh and healthy produce.
"At this juncture we take time to salute the members of the farming and fishing communities and associations who toil the earth and harvest our vast ocean in their noble task of meeting one of the most pressing daily nutritional needs of our society.
"Let us unite as a country to put our energy, intelligence and passion to further develop the agriculture and fishing sectors. We need to realize that at the end of the day it is all about our survival!
"A happy World Food Day to all!"

So I recently upgraded to OSX El Capitan on my main Macbook Pro. While there were many improvements and some minor bug fixes that were annoying to me but I could live with there was an issue.
See I really like high-quality audio, it's one of my vices. So I have a fancy Woo Audio WA7 DAC headphone amp to power my stupid expensive headphones. These were part of my Christmas presents to myself a year or so ago when I spiffed up my office a little bit.
The WA7 is a USB audio device and after upgrading I found a TON of things online about how to fix this particular issue on OSX, but none of them worked. Well, I take that back. Rebooting worked, but only for a few hours/sleeps and then it was back again. I can't waste time rebooting randomly a couple of times during the work day so I dove in looking for a more permanent solution.
It turns out this is an issue with OSX USB Audio and Thunderbolt together. In my setup I had the WA7 USB DAC plugged into a USB port on a Thunderbolt monitor, moving it from there to a simple USB 2 hub that I typically just use for a back up drive and a scanner did the trick. No more audio stopping and no need to reboot.
Sadly this answer was pretty hard to find, so hopefully this post is easier for people to search for and find a quicker solution to this annoying problem.

Paul McCartney collaborates on videogame 'Destiny'
Paul McCartney has taken a break from love and peace to lend his composing ability to Destiny, a first-person shooting video game for the Xbox and Playstation systems.
McCartney, 72, created the musical score over a four-year span in New York, Los Angeles, and at London's Abbey Road Studios. He worked alongside Marty O'Donnell, who was then game developer Bungie's in-house composer, and Mike Salvatori.
Last August, O'Donnell told the gaming website Edge that the trio wrote a 50-minute suite that they intended to release before the game. The video game composer reported during the time that McCartney even added some beatlesque touches to the score.
He (McCartney) brought out his old tape-loop machine – he said the last time he used it was on Sgt. Pepper," said O'Donnell. "So he sent me an entire session where he was playing around with all these tape-loops. We were just thrilled. That [was] the same machine that was (used) on Revolver.
McCartney also contributes a theme song for the game and worked with a 120-piece ensemble at Abbey Road. Giles Martin, son of Beatles producer George Martin, directed the orchestra with the the song being produced by Mark "Spike" Stent.
O'Donnell's rise to video game fame started at Mac World in 1999 when Bungie unveiled Halo for the first time. The three-minute scripted demo went on to take the game industry by storm.
O'Donnell told Edge that he likes to write music and that working with Paul McCartney gave all of them the opportunity to work on a whole bunch of music with a lot of themes.
"So we have this really great start on many, many pieces of music that all seem to work together well," says O'Donnell. "Most of it hasn't been heard yet. I feel like we have really iconic stuff that at some point will rise to the top and become the iconic theme."
O'Donnell was able to get McCartney interested in the project thanks to this unique approach to scoring Destiny. "I came up with this idea of music of the spheres," says O'Donnell. "I came up with eight pieces, a suite, it turned out to be 50 minutes long, we're going to be releasing it before the game. That's the thing that I got Paul interested in working with us on."
For fans doubting McCartney's interest in violent video games, O'Donnell said he had that fear, too – at first.
"That was one of the things we were quite worried about: Would Paul even be interested in a sci-fi shooting game?" he told Edge last year. "But he seemed excited about it. He's played Halo with his grandkids. I think he's pretty excited that he's stretching into an area he hasn't stretched before."
Destiny will be released September 9. Watch the trailer below.

Joe Biden Just Won Texas
Prior to Super Tuesday, Biden's most optimistic supporters were hoping he'd just keep it close in Texas.
by Paul Blest
March 4, 2020, 2:05pm
Former Vice President Joe Biden has pulled out a slim victory in Texas, networks projected early Wednesday morning, completing a sweep of the Deep South that puts him in the driver's seat for the Democratic presidential nomination.
With over 90% of precincts reporting, Biden was holding a roughly 70,000-vote lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders, good for roughly a third of the overall vote total. Sanders was hovering at around 30%, while former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was hovering at around 15%.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, with just 11% of the vote, appeared to be below the threshold to pickup statewide delegates, although she could still pick up a few delegates from Texas if she cracks 15% in some state Senate districts.
Much of Biden's margin in Texas, like elsewhere in the South, appears to have come from his strong showing with older and black voters, according to CNN's exit poll. Biden won nearly 60% of black voters and over 40% of voters over the age of 45. Sanders, meanwhile, performed strongly with Latino and Asian voters in the same exit poll and won roughly half of voters under 45.
Polling done before the election showed Biden and Sanders in a tight race, though Biden undoubtedly picked up a late burst of steam with a big win in South Carolina and a wave of endorsements, including former presidential and Texas Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke. Biden won the election day vote, and as that continues to trickle in, his margins could continue to grow.
Although Biden won, he may not pick up much from the state once all of the delegates are counted; with over half of the state's delegates yet to be counted, he holds 56-50 lead over Sanders so far in delegates awarded, according to NPR.

Stewart Rhodes: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
By	Paul Farrell
Updated Aug 11, 2015 at 7:23pm
Rhodes pictured in January 2011. (Facebook)
The founder of the militia group that's patrolling the streets of Ferguson is a Yale graduate who worked for Ron Paul. His name is Stewart Rhodes and the militia group he founded are the Oath Keepers. Since the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014 by police officer Darren Wilson, the Keepers have been patrolling the streets of the town. During their watch, multiple people have been injured and innocent people arrested.
1. He Refers to Hillary Clinton as 'Hitlery' in His Writings
Rhodes is heavily detailed in a profile at the website for the Southern Poverty Law Center. According to that piece, in April 2008 he wrote in S.W.A.T. Magazine:
Imagine that Herr Hitlery [Hillary Clinton] is sworn in as president in 2009. After a conveniently timed 'domestic terrorism' incident (just a coincidence, of course) … she promptly crams a United Nations mandated total ban on the private possession of firearms. …
But Hitlery goes further, proclaiming a national emergency and declaring the entire militia movement (and anyone else Morris Dees labels 'extremists') to be 'enemy combatants.' … Hitlery declares that such citizens are subject to secret military detention without jury trial, 'enhanced' interrogation techniques, and trial before a military tribunal hand-picked by the dominatrix-in-chief herself.
Hitlery then orders police, National Guard troops and active military to go house-to-house to disarm the American people and 'black-bag' those on a list of 'known terrorists,' with orders to shoot all resisters.
His other writings discuss the collapse of the U.S. economy and America being "on the verge of destruction."
2. Rhodes is a Yale Law Graduate
According to his Facebook page, Rhodes joined the U.S. Army out of high school but was "disabled in a rough terrain parachuting accident during a night jump." From there, he attended the University of Nevada where he graduated in 1998. During his time there he was also a certified firearms instructor. Rhodes graduated from Yale Law School in 2004 while winning Yale's Miller Price for his paper "Solving the Puzzle of Enemy Combatant Status." After that, he worked for Congressman Ron Paul, supporting the Texans run for president in 2008. Rhodes openly accused Rep. Paul of being the victim of a smear campaign during the primary election.

Rhodes then formed the Oath Keepers in 2009. He claimed that the group has 30,000 members made up of ex-police and military personnel. The group's website shows that they "will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a 'state of emergency' on a state." The Oath Keepers also state, "We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances."
3. Rhodes Now Lives in Montana Awaiting He & His Followers Last Stand Against the New World Order
Rhodes lives in Kalispell, Montana, with his wife, Tasha, and their kids. He's been married for 21 years, according to Tasha Rhodes' Facebook page. At the SPLC's website, it says that:
In 2010, Rhodes left his Nevada legal practice and moved to Montana, joining a growing Patriot movement presence in the Big Sky state, where antigovernment extremists envision a coming "last stand" confrontation against globalist tyrants expected to steamroll across the U.S., crushing our freedoms.
On his profile at the Oath Keeper site, it says that Rhodes was born and raised in Fresno, California. His family are of Mexican and Apache Indiana descent on one side and "hard working Midwest farmers, horsemen, and GM auto workers on his father's side,"
4. After His Last Attack on the Government in 2011, Rhodes Received a $600 Fine

In 2011, Rhodes and his followers went to the town of Quartzsite in Arizona. Their stated goal was to defend a group of residents who had been ejected from a local government meeting on corruption. The SPLC says "Led by Rhodes, the Oath Keepers marched into town and the group's website called Quartzsite a pivot point for Americans to finally see the looming danger of the "New World Order."" The movement quickly dissipated with Rhodes being served with a $600 fine for practicing law without a license in Arizona. He had apparently sent letters threatening a lawsuit on behalf of some residents of the town.
5. One of Rhodes' Followers Was Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison for Raping His Daughter in 2010

One of Rhodes' followers, retired Marine Charles Dyer, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the rape of his 7-year-old daughter in 2010. In militia circles, he had been known as the "July 4 Patriot." Despite the conviction, Dyer still has huge support in the libertarian community with a Facebook page claiming he was set up by his ex-wife, Valerie.

A "Shy Nowruz" Visits the Kurdish People of Syria
Nowruz festivities in the city of Qamishli- March 21. 2018 (al-Waqt)
"نوروز خجول" يمر على كرد سوريا
In the shadow of the current political and military interactions under which the Kurdish file is enduring in Syria, Nowruz celebrations went cold and weary this year.
Nowruz, which Kurds celebrate every year on March 21, lies at the very soul of the area's heritage and history, as well as the Kurdish identity.
Nowruz corresponds to the first day of the Kurdish year, which Kurds, Persians and Yazidis around the world celebrate as a national occasion.
The Asian nations' celebration of spring relates to fertility and rejuvenation. The Kurds, however, link the celebration to a different dimension, a nationalist one, especially their ability to break from tyranny, which the legend of "Kawa the Blacksmith" stands as an icon for.
Who Is Kawa the Blacksmith?
"Shahnameh" a poem by Ferdowsi mentioned Kawa as a rebel, who stood in the face of King "Azdahak," who carried snakes upon his shoulders and fed them the brains of the villages' children.
After he sacrificed 16 of his children, Kawa was left with his last and little daughter, so he decided to break the curse that befell his village, as the legend says.
The Blacksmith offered the king a lamb's brain instead of his daughter; the village's people mimicked him, until he formed an army of children and decided to release the village's people from the king's tyranny.
He lit a fire on the mountain's slope announcing a revolution from 20 to 21 of March, killing the king and liberating his own people from subjection for once and all.
Kurds light a fire on the same evening every year, as to commemorate Kawa, the icon, and believing that the fire shall keep burning, because it is the fire of redemption, liberation from slavery, and the spark of the revolution for the help of the impoverished people.
Nowruz Celebrations in Former Years
The people of Qamishli conjured Kawa's memory, lit fire in the towns, cities and villages, as well as on tops of the mountains. At night, they danced on the melodies of the famous Kurdish singer Şivan Perwer and other artists who sang for Nowruz and the Kurdish nationality.
In the morning, the families celebrate through wearing the traditional Kurdish outfit and go to a specific location, where folkloric bands gather to sing and dance the Kurdish "Dabke". The people also observe a minute of silence before they start celebrating and camp to the nightfall, singing the Kurdish anthem all the time.
"Since 2013, we have not celebrated Nowruz the same way we used to do before due to the massacres that are happening," Ahmad al-Ali, from the city of Qamishli, told Enab Baladi.
"There is a fear of gatherings, especially after the massacre that happened in al-Hasakeh on Nowruz night when a suicide bomber from the "Islamic State" (ISIS) bombarded himself among the people, killing many."
"ISIS" also adopted a double attack at the night of Nowruz in the city of al-Hasakeh, the death toll of which ended up as 45 people, including five children.
Ali added that "after this, celebration was limited to picnics in nature and lighting some candles up."
"This year, despite all that Afrin has witnessed and the downing of Kawa the Blacksmith's statue, some people insisted on celebrating, for Kawa is a symbol that have been there for thousands of years and it cannot be destroyed in a minute," according to Bahzad Issa, from the city of Qamishli.
"Nowruz stands for struggle, and these losses are only temporary, which our children should not get used to. They should learn that Afrin belongs to the people who have been displaced from their homes," he added.
The war related state of the country, that have been going on for eight years now, have affected the shape of Nowruz festivities, especially with displacement, exile and death. However, this situation did not hinder people from celebrating this occasion even if they followed a different approach. Through their insistence to relive the memory, they defended the iconic nature of liberation.

Former FOMC Member Admits The Fed Manipulates Asset Prices
October 2, 2017 Financial Markets, Gold, Market Manipulation, Precious Metals, U.S. EconomyFederal Reserve Chairman, FOMC, GATA, gold futures, Kevin Warshadmin
The Fed often treats financial markets as a beast to be tamed, a cub to be coddled, or a market to be manipulated. It appears in thrall to financial markets, and financial markets are in thrall to the Fed, but only one will get the last word. – Former FOMC member, Kevin Warsh – The Fed Needs New Thinking
Please note, a large portion of the source links, plus the idea for this commentary, were sourced from GATA's latest dispatch regarding the possible appointment of Warsh as the next Fed Chairman.
The quote above is from former FOMC board member, Kevin Warsh, who appears to be Trump's top candidate to assume the Fed's mantle of manipulation from Janet Yellen. By way of relevant reference, Warsh happens to be the son-in-law of Ronald Lauder, who is a good friend of Trump's. He is also a former Steering Committee member of the Bilderberg Group. GATA has published a summary reprise of direct evidence from previous written admissions by Warsh the the Fed actively manages financial asset prices, "including bolstering the share price of public companies" (from link above).
In addition to stocks, Warsh admitted in the same essay that, "The Fed seeks to fix interest rates and control foreign-exchange rates simultaneously" (same link above). This task is impossible without suppressing the price of gold, something which began in earnest in 1974 when, under the direction of then Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, paper gold futures contracts were introduced to the U.S. capital markets. This memo, written by the Deputy assistant Secretary of State for International Finance and Development, was sent to Kissinger and Paul Volcker in March 1974: Gold and the Monetary System: Potential U.S.-EC Conflict (note: the source-link is from GATA – it was discovered in the State Department archives by Goldmoney's John Butler).
The nature of discussions after that memo, the minutes of which are now publicly available, center around the fact that several European Governments were interested in re-introducing gold into the global monetary system. This movement was in direct conflict with the interests of U.S. elitists and banking aristocrats, as U.S. had successfully established the petro-dollar as the reserve currency.
In 2009 GATA sent a Freedom Of Information Act request to the Fed in an attempt to get access to documents involving the Fed's use of gold swaps (this letter written by Warsh confirms the existence of the use of gold swaps). Warsh, who was the FOMC's "liaison" between the Fed and Wall Street, wrote a letter back to GATA denying the request.
The fact that Warsh has openly acknowledged that the Fed manipulates assets, including an implicit admission that the Fed seeks to suppress the price of gold, might give some in the gold community some hope that Warsh, if appointed to the Chair of the Fed, might reign in the Fed's over interference in the financial markets.
On the contrary, I believe this makes him a bigger threat to democracy, capitalism and freedom than any of his recent predecessors. Warsh is better "pedigree'd" and politically connected than either Bernanke or Yellen. His high level involvement in the Bilderberg Group ties him directly to the individual aristocrats who are considered to be the most financially and politically powerful in the western world. Without a doubt he has far more profound understanding of the significance of gold as a monetary asset than any modern Federal Reserve FOMC member except, perhaps, Alan Greenspan.
The good news for the gold investing community is that it becomes increasingly evident that China, together with Russia and several other eastern bloc countries, is working to remove the dollar as the reserve currency and reintroduce gold into the global monetary system. A contact and subscriber to my Mining Stock Journal who happens to live and work in Shanghai has sent further evidence (and here) that China is working toward launching a gold-backed yuan oil futures contract.
This will be a complete game-changer. It's also likely why the western Central Banks have doubled their efforts to keep the price of suppressed over the last 6 weeks. My contact believes there's a possibility that the contract will be rolled out after Xi is "re-elected" toward the end of October (the Party Congress convenes after the week-long National Holiday observance).
My personal view is that China will work more gradually to roll out a futures contract that effectively "disconnects" the petro-dollar and the dollar's reserve status in order to minimize the adverse, albeit temporary, consequences of this. The first iteration could be a simple yuan-denominated contract to get the system working. The foremost consequence of this, of course, will be the massive transfer of wealth and power from the United States and its European vassal countries to the emerging global power in the eastern hemisphere.

A proposed condo development for the Pointe-Claire Village has been dubbed the "guinea pig" project because it's testing the village code.
Koegl purchased the Pioneer bar and restaurant plus its adjacent parking lot and is working on the design for a condo project for the combined 26,000 square feet of land.
It's not just any old condo development slated for any old piece of land.
This project will test the city's recently adopted and rigorous Pointe-Claire Village Code. It is also a project which will replace a much-loved watering hole in the heart of the village. People are watching closely.
The bar's distinct, wooden structure has been part of the fabric of the village since it opened as an inn in the early 1900s. It became the Pioneer, then Clydes, then the Pioneer and along the way it gained the reputation as a place to gather with friends to listen to bold music, share some pub fare and drink until the wee hours.
"Yes, I'm the guinea pig, whiskers and all," Koegl said with a laugh during a recent interview.
It has been confirmed that owner Diane Marois has sold the building at the corner of Lakeshore Rd. and Ste-Anne Ave., but the process to obtain approval for a new build is ongoing.
Koegl said he and architect Karl Fischer have worked closely with the city, adhering to the strict code every step of the way. It was both a challenge for the developer and Fischer and a way for the city to prove its code would work, in practical terms.
"We didn't have a lot of latitude. We just followed the (code's) guidelines to a 'T'," Koegl said.
Local reaction has been mixed. Some fear the new build will tarnish the charm of the street. Others say the Pioneer is looking tired and a new construction might rejuvenate the neighbourhood.
Pointe-Claire heritage society president Claude Arsenault said he is waiting to see if the developer's demolition request is approved before voicing his concerns.
If and when a demolition notice is posted in front of The Pioneer, citizens may voice their concerns at the city's demolition committee meeting in writing or in person. Because the necessary zoning changes are already in place, a referendum is not possible.
The heritage of the Pointe-Claire Village sector is one of its biggest assets and respecting that history and the look which accompanies it is a priority.
Koegl said the Pioneer's designation is one "of historic interest", a lesser designation than "historic heritage." The process involved in obtaining a demolition permit required that he hire an architect with a specialty in heritage conservation to analyze The Pioneer's structure. The analysis was done by Nathalie Smith from NCS Architecture. The report will be presented to the city's demolition committee. Koegl cannot obtain a building permit until he has been approved for a demolition permit.
Any new construction must comply with the minutiae in the village code which divides the village into 10 zones, each accompanied by a detailed description of what is and isn't allowed in any particular sector, from building height to architectural style to parking requirements. Even paint colours are recommended. The code awaits approval from Montreal before it can come into force.
The project, called The Charlevoix, would feature 15 condo units, three town homes and four commercial spaces. There would be underground parking and the lane accessing the park behind the property will remain. Plans include a rooftop greenhouse and a lounge area called The Pioneer.
Koegl said the target demographic is empty-nesters who want to remain within the Pointe-Claire community, but no longer want to manage a large family home.
A petition to save the Pioneer was launched by Matthew Trudel last week at www.change.org. As of Tuesday it has gathered 2,730 of the target 5,000 signatures.

Seven scalp care guarantee more beautiful and healthy hair
Attention to wash, dry and moisturize is key to conquer resistant wires
Rolled, flat, curly, light or dark. No matter what your hair type, surely you have wanted a wig to raze with shampoo commercial effect. And for that invested in creams, accessories and beauty salons. But it's likely that you've forgotten a "small" detail: the scalp. It is that each hair rises and therefore inherits the qualities so as defects. If this region is with excess oil, skin or constantly dirty, there is no court to resolve, the locks will always have the same problems.
Dermatologist Valcinir Bedin explains that the roots of the hair are the basis for strong wires. "The neglect of the scalp can cause dandruff, scaling, excessive oiliness and even damage the hair nutrition." The good news is that just a little attention to ensure healthy roots. Check the care following scalp.
1. At the time of washing
You are adept at a nice hot shower and even wash your hair every day? The tactic may even be relaxing, but it's probably detonating your scalp - and in different ways. First, hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands of the region, responsible for the production of oils, which work more than normal. But the excess water resulting from daily washing will remove the natural oils, stimulating the glands to work harder to compensate for the lack of sebum. The result is the appearance of greasy double that can clog the pores that give way to the hair, and consequently hinder the distribution of such oil, important for full hydration by wire.
To avoid a disaster, Valcinir Bedin recommends that the washing is done with water at lower temperature than 25 degrees and preferably on alternate days. So you avoid the damage caused by excess water, without allowing the accumulation of dirt. "For very oily hair, if it fails to merge washings, is essential to observe the water temperature, which should be warm to cold," says the expert.
2. Rinse well
The hairdresser Marilia Kikuchi, technical Condor consultant, says that the accumulation of products at the root of the hair can also clog the pores (hair follicles) of the scalp, which is where the hair comes out, damaging the wire nutrition. "This is common with the products of the type" 2 in 1 ", which add shampoo and conditioner in one formula," he explains. "In general, people do not fully remove this hair product, and the remnants end up accumulating in the scalp." But the problem can happen with any other product. The expert recommends conditioners and lotions are not applied directly to the root and the shampoo is thoroughly removed after cleaning.
3. Moisturizing to combat desquamation
Many people suffer from dryness of the scalp. The expert recommends that care when there is flaking, which can be caused by temperature drop: "In the cold, sweating is diminished, so there is dryness of the scalp and possibly flaking" he explains. There are specific products that can moisturize the scalp without letting it with slick appearance and not clog the pores of the scalp. Active ingredients such as urea and ammonium lactate, for example, have high emollient power. "While the lactate promotes hydration leather retaining water, urea has the main function moisturize and soften the hair," says Valcinir Bedin. Remember that the products that moisturize the scalp are not the same used to moisturize the wire. Use a hair mask in the region for this purpose can therefore aggravate the situation.
4. Dryer and flat iron
For the wires are no products activated by the heat of the dryer and flat iron to give the necessary protection. But what about the roots? There is no product capable of mitigating the damage from excessive heat, the only solution is careful to do these procedures. Dermatologist Valcinir Bedin recommends keeping the dryer at a minimum distance of 30 cm from the root of the hair and flat iron to about a centimeter and a half of the scalp. The expert also makes the warning: by most popular and practice that the flat iron has become, we must remember that it damages the hair and can not be used as often.
5. Chemicals
progressive, permanent, permanent brush and other chemical procedure can trigger wires. The same danger runs the scalp. These products are acidic and therefore can burn and generate scaling scalp. "Ideally, the professional make a sensitivity test before applying the product," guides the hairdresser Marilia Kikuchi, technical consultant of the Condor.
6. Food nourishes the scalp
hairs are composed of substances acquired through food, so a proper diet is crucial for the nutrients reach the scalp and constitute a fine wire. The dermatologist Ademir Júnior, member of the Brazilian Society of Aesthetic Medicine, explains that amino acids and proteins (meat, eggs and milk), for example, stimulate the growth and strengthening of the wires, while zinc (nuts, seafood, germ wheat and yeast) stimulates growth and reduces oiliness, and omega-3 and omega-6 (found in functional oils) help in wire hydration.
7. Seek medical attention if ...
Shampoos, conditioners and lotions easily found in pharmacies can indeed help control problems like dandruff, for example, but if the discomfort does not improve, it is best to consult a doctor. This is because the hair roots can hide very serious problems such as eczema - one peeling starting commonly with an allergy - psoriasis of the scalp, and even alopecia areata, which is one of the ways in which hair loss can manifest. "The doctor can also diagnose the problem more precisely, differentiating dandruff flaking, for example, and prescribe more effective drugs," explains Valcinir Bedin.
