Following in the footsteps of Peanuts, Jim Davis� Garfield began as a syndicated newspaper comic strip (1978) before moving on to primetime TV specials and then to a Saturday morning series.\nGarfield was an overweight, exceedingly lazy tabby cat who usually became enthusiastic only over the promise of lasagna. He also took great pleasure in irking his dopey owner Jon, vacant-minded dog Odie, and Nermal, the impossibly cute kitten.\nGarfield�s sarcastic commentary, expressed through thought bubbles in the paper, were here done via voiceover. Lorenzo Music, previously Carlton the Doorman on the sitcom Rhoda, supplied the cat's superbly deadpan voice.\nThe "And Friends" portion of the show centered on the characters from another Davis comic strip, the underrated U.S. Acres. Taking place on a farm, the segments featured a menagerie of highly colorful personalities: the leader, Orson, a kindly pig who was often the brunt of the jokes; Sheldon, a baby chicken who refused to hatch all the way, and so remained with all but his legs in the shell; Booker, his brother, who did make it out; Wade, a nervous duck who persistently wore an inflatable tube around his waist; and Roy, the wisecracking rooster.\nThe show enjoyed a successful seven-year run on CBS, and Garfield continues to be one of the most popular strips in the funny pages.

Award-winning medical Cannabis pioneer and entrepreneur, Maya Elisabeth, was onsite today at the 2017 Emerald Cup to reveal the new identity, logo and packaging design for her legacy brand, OM Edibles™ (booth T88). It is the first redesign for the brand since Maya founded the all-female collective in 2008. With recent medical Cannabis legalization in California, Maya sought the expertise of Purple Line Media –California’s premier Cannabis design studio and Cannabis industry specialists – to reimagine OM Edibles’ entire portfolio of high-grade topicals, tinctures and edibles to delight both current and entry-level consumers. The Emerald Cup is the preeminent event for medical marijuana aficionados and draws tens of thousands of attendees from around California and beyond.\nA revamped packaging approach by Purple Line Media segregates OM Edibles products into four consumer categories: Superfoods, Elixirs, Edibles and Body. For each category, the base of the design is the gold foil OM logo surrounded by a subtle Sri Yantra pattern using spot gloss treatments on Mylar bags and decorated glass bottles. “This is an exciting time for the industry and the OM Edibles brand. As a design partner, Purple Line Media understands the cannabis consumer space and issues around new guidelines and compliance,” said Maya. “We hope our customers are drawn to our new look which we feel conveys a level of professionalism, cleanliness, and class in color choice and design.” OM Edibles will be at 2017 Emerald Cup at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds from December 9-10, 2017. In addition to showcasing a new brand identity, OM Edibles entered three new organic products for Emerald Cup Award consideration: CBD Mangoes, StrawMarys and the Icey Stick, a cooling muscle liniment.

CNN spoke to UH adjunct professor of industrial engineering Andrew Boyd to get the details on airline revenue management – the science of adjusting fares in real time so that airlines can maximize revenue. Boyd previously served as a chief scientist at a company that supplies revenue management systems to airlines.\n“Revenue management is really, fundamentally, about looking at what the market is willing to pay,” he said. To predict this, airlines use complex software that takes into account various factors, from overall global conditions to flyer profiles and individual preferences and perks.

United Kingdom voters' decision to exit the European Union (EU), known as "Brexit," will likely mean changes for FDA, drugmakers, medical device makers and researchers, although the extent of the upheaval remains an open question.\nFifty-two percent of U.K. voters on Thursday chose to leave the EU, the economic and political union that currently binds 28 European countries across the continent. While the referendum results are not legally binding, the U.K. in the coming months is expected to start the formal legal process of withdrawing from the EU, which will give the country two years to negotiate the terms of its exit.\nA senior FDA official told Politico's "Prescription Pulse" that Brexit likely won't affect the agreements in place between the U.S. agency and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). "Everyone will figure out a way to ensure that agreements in place will remain valid," the official said.\nHowever, "that may be the optimistic view," Sarah Karlin-Smith and Brett Norman write in "Prescription Pulse." EMA allows drugmakers to have their medications approved for use across the EU and has been aligning its policies with FDA to make it easier for companies to submit applications to both the European and U.S. markets. EMA and FDA also have been conducting joint inspections to reduce regulatory duplication.\nNow, FDA will need to establish a broader separate relationship with the U.K., and it's unclear to what extent FDA and EMA will "pursue separate arrangements with the U.K.," according to Karlin-Smith and Norman.\nIt remains an open question whether the U.K. will establish a process to review and approve medical devices and drugs on its own or will establish a comprehensive agreement with EMA, Karlin-Smith and Norman write.\nThe U.K's Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) currently conducts about one third of the regulatory work for EMA reviews, BioIndustry Association CEO Steve Bates told STAT News, and both agencies will have to learn to navigate a post-Brexit regulatory environment.\nIn a statement, the association said, "Key questions about the regulation of medicine, access to the single market and talent, intellectual property and the precise nature of the future relationship of the U.K. are now upon us."\nSome experts predict that Brexit won't have much of an effect on drug regulation. Former Deputy FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb writes in Forbes that the U.K. likely will not "exit the EMA scheme and cause drugmakers to pursue two separate and costly regulatory processes to launch products." He adds, "Both the EU member countries and their British counterparts will be invested in seeing the U.K. remain part of that joint regulatory scheme ... This is the sort of tertiary issue that will be resolved through the negotiations over the contours of Britain’s eventual exit."\nHowever, the uncertainty has "left many in the European health sector in 'shock and fear,'" Karlin-Smith and Norman write for "Prescription Pulse."\nAnalysts tell STAT News that Brexit appears "likely to cause major disruptions for the drug approval process in the U.K. and across the channel in mainland Europe."\nBefore the vote, several global pharmaceutical companies urged voters to keep the U.K. in the EU and warned that an exit could harm drug innovation.\nGlaxoSmithKline CEO Andrew Witty in a letter to The Guardian wrote that keeping the U.K. in the EU "would enable the sector to continue to operate within an established and harmonized regulatory approval system, ensuring that U.K. patients benefit from medicines more quickly, and that medicines researched and manufactured in the U.K. are available across the EU sooner."\nThe letter, which was signed by more than 90 life science stakeholders, added that "leaving the EU would bring added complexity and uncertainty, which is bad for business and research."\nAccording to STAT News' Meghana Keshavan and Rebecca Robbins, the industry fears that some of the more than 222,000 people employed in the U.K. pharma industry, many of whom are from other EU countries, may leave.\nIn addition, about 16 percent of the funds that U.K. life science companies spend annually on research comes from EU grants, and industry officials worry there will be less funding for R&D going forward.\nResearchers in other industries have expressed concern about Brexit, too, Brian Resnick and Julia Belluz report for Vox. The U.K. receives about 3 billion euros more in research grants from the EU than it provides for EU research. Pro-Brexit politicians have promised to make up lost research funds, but some officials still anticipate negative effects.\nUniversity of Edinburgh professor of clinical neurology Rustam Al-Shahi Salman told Vox that it "will immediately destabilize our ongoing European Union-funded multi-center studies," particularly -- given the regulatory uncertainty -- projects that just launched or are seeking funding.\nOther researchers told Vox that they worry Brexit could make it harder to recruit top talent due to potential restrictions on immigration.\nNobel Prize winning physicist Peter Higgs said Brexit is a "disaster" for U.K. science given the loss of EU funding and how EU membership "results in the flow of people between the different countries."\nMeanwhile, Brexit proponents counter that after the U.K. leaves the EU, it will no longer be subject to its rules governing clinical trials, which "have been widely blamed for hindering U.K. medical research," Daniel Cressey writes for Nature.

A Bride On A Budget received these products for review. All thoughts and opinions belong to ABOAB.\nI ended up with three pairs of shoes on my wedding day. It's not that I was trying to have a trio of costume changes for my feet and, honestly, I don't even think people knew. It was just that different parts of the day required different footwear, so I came prepared.\nI started the day in my wedding heels. I wore them for the church ceremony and our bridal party photos (which we took on a boardwalk and then on a cobblestone street ... you know, great places for heels). Our reception venue was on the beach, so when we took photos out there, I wore white flip flops. And then, during the reception (when everyone was getting down on the dance floor), I changed into personalized Converse that Pete and I created ourselves.\nEven though I only wore them for the first third of the wedding festivities, my poor wedding heels look beat up.\nThe bottoms (where Pinterest tells me brides are supposed to have their bridesmaid sign their names) are completely scuffed up. The sole of the heel is pretty dark (although it did hold up pretty well considering Pete and I played a round of hopscotch during our photos).\nWhat's troublesome to me is that the bottom of the heel itself is really dirty. The shoes I bought (and had dyed to match the bridesmaids' dresses and groomsmen's tuxedo vests and ties) aren't waterproof. I knew I wouldn't be running in the beach with them (although I did do a shoe change, just to be extra safe), but any sort of moisture ruined the dye. Not that anyone but me is really going to be inspecting the heels, but I'm sort of bummed.\nThe High Heelers, made of plastic, are available in three sizes (narrow, classic, and wide) and four colors (clear, silver, black, and gold). The concept is simple: slide the Solemates High Heeler onto the heel and protect your heel from sinking into grass, getting ruined on cobblestone, and pretty much just keep you protect from normal (wedding) wear and tear.\nI didn't have these until after my wedding, so I grabbed my wedding heels to try it out.\nThe Solemates High Heeler wouldn't fit on my heel. I tried the classic first and it was too small, so I grabbed the wide. It, also, was too small and, I'm not sure how well you can see it, but it took a small bite out of my heel, leaving a white spot. My heart sunk. I quickly rubbed my finger on it to try to fix it, which pretty much did, and then I snapped this shot.\nI figured that I might be better off testing these on a pair of heels that is less sentimental.\nI grabbed my favorite pair of heels (which I actually ended up wearing for our rehearsal dinner, but since I've had them for years and wore them to tons of other occasions, I wouldn't be too upset if the heel got bit also).\nI tried the narrow one first and though these heels appear thin, they're not thin enough. I grabbed the classic and those slid on easily.\nThe Solemates High Heelers give a lot of stability to the heel. It increases the size of the bottom of the heel substantially, which is cool. Because it creates a base platform, your heel won't sink into the grass (or, I would guess, cracks on the sidewalk too). It's a great concept and pretty undetectable as compared to its counterparts. The Solemates Shoe Essentials pack would have definitely helped with the scuff on the bottom of my shoes. The pack contains a pair ball of foot cushions, a pair of heel cushions, and a pair of anti skid pads. The latter is what goes on the bottom of your shoe, which would definitely protect the base. I actually used Dr. Scholl's ball of foot cushions in my wedding heels to help a little bit with sizing and a little bit with slipping (or, well, making sure I didn't slip). I am obsessed with putting them in my heels. I use them all the time. They're removable, so I just switch them between pairs. The ones in the Solemates Shoe Essentials pack aren't removable, so make sure you put them in the right way when you use them (you'd think it's a no brainer, but in the intensity of wedding morning, my mom actually put them in my shoes upside down. So, there I was, wedding morning, about to walk out the door, stopped, plopped down in my wedding dress, flipping around ball of foot cushions.\nSuch a funny moment, caught by one of our amazing photographers (plus, what an unsuspecting shot of my shoes, huh?).\nBRIDAL BABBLE: How often do you wear heels?\nthe SOS kit for sure!\nThe high heelers are perfect. I am going to have an outdoor wedding and it has a lot of grass, definitely will be getting some for me and my girls.\nSome great items - wonderful that they were sent to you to review - wish they had these 5 years ago when I got married!!\nMy October 11th wedding includes lots of grassy areas and a slate paver garden path. This would be a great kit to share with the bridal party!\nI could really use the Solemates Shoe Essentials.\nI really love the Solemates High Heelers.\nOh, those look really cool! I've seen people talking about the heel covers, but those protections for the sole would also be really neat, especially with how you're talking about the wear.\nThose High Heelers and the SOS kit look amazing!!! Even if I don't win, I'll be buying these and recommending them for my bridal party!!\nI'm getting these for all my girls since my wedding is on the grass, but I am on the fence about the kit because of my budget!!\nthe anti-skid pads in the Shoe Essentials are the most interesting to me! I hate when you have to scuff up soles before they're ready to be worn!\nI would like to have the Complete Care Collection. I could use a little indulgence.\nThese would be sooo helpful for me because I'm having an outdoor wedding!\nThis would be sooo helpful since we are having an outdoor wedding!\ni have to go with the solemates as being my favorite.\nI love all of their products! I really like that they have the foot care collection too!\nI've seen these mentioned countless times as we have begun preparations for our big day, but have never used them. Though we are having an indoor ceremony we are planning pictures in a park/woods so I am thinking the High Heeler is going to be worn by myself and my 4 gals...I mean my shoes are like kids to me :-p gotta take care of them!\nI would love the Solemates Shoe Care.\nI'm having an outdoor wedding on my parents farm so the high heelers would be perfect!\nI like the SOS shoe rescue kit. These are great!\nI would also absolutely love the Complete Care Collection.\nHoly cow, what a genius product! I like the SOS Wedding Rescue pack, my little sister is getting married in March and I guarantee I will be needing many of those items!\nPS - I lovelovelove the colored shoes you picked!\nThe shoe bags are a cute idea. I am always traveling and it would be nice to have a separate little thing for my shoes.

Take A Deep Breath: That Clarinet Could Be A Germ Factory : Shots - Health News Researchers found bacteria, mold and fungus in tests of more than a dozen children's band instruments. The parts musicians put in their mouths were the most contaminated.\nPlaying music in the band is good for kids, but maybe not so much if that clarinet is a cesspool of bacteria and fungi.\nThat's the provocative suggestion from the Oklahoma State University for Health Sciences, where researchers found germs galore growing on brass and wind instruments that were used in high school band programs.\nThe researchers in Oklahoma City Tulsa swabbed 13 brass and wind instruments, then rubbed the swabs on petri dishes and waited to see what would grow. They found 295 different bacteria as well as yeasts and molds. The parts that musicians put in their mouths were more contaminated than the rest of the instruments, and the two clarinets showed more contamination than the other instruments. The results were published in the latest issue of General Dentistry.\nOK, that's gross. But does having bacteria in your bassoon really pose a health risk?\nYes, says Thomas Glass, a dentist and professor at Oklahoma State who was lead author of the study. In the past he has tested for pathogens on toothbrushes, dentures, and athletic mouthguards. So he wasn't too surprised to find gunk growing on band instruments. "The bacteria can produce local infections in the mouth, in the gastrointestinal tract, and in the respiratory tract," Glass tells Shots. Molds can cause allergic reactions, and skin infections are a risk, too, he says.\nGlass's study didn't look to see if the high schoolers who played these grubby instruments had health problems. And there's precious little evidence of rampant infections associated with practicing "Stars and Stripes Forever."\nBut a few pulmonologists have reported patients coming in with lung problems. A letter from 1988 in the journal Chest told the tale of a 67-year-old saxophone player with a cough and shortness of breath. He was diagnosed with hypersensitivity pulmonitis from candida, and it turned out the saxophone mouthpiece was contaminated with that fungus. The symptoms disappeared after the musician started washing the instrument's mouthpiece with soap and water.\nMore recently, a 48-year-old French saxophonist with inflamed lungs from a moldy saxophone also got a write-up in Chest. In the same issue last September, a pulmonologist at the University of Connecticut Health Center reported on a 35-year-old professional trombone player who had been suffering from a cough and shortness of breath for 15 years. Those symptoms cleared up when the musician started cleaning his instrument with rubbing alcohol.\nNow, we have to point out that the General Dentistry study was sponsored by Dr. Lorenzo Lepore founder of Encore Etc., Inc. It turns out that Lepore is a dentist, and Encore Etc., Inc. is a company he founded to sterilize musical instruments.\nWe are independent of any conflict of interest. All we have to do in the article is say how we're funded. That has no impact on us in terms of our findings.\nEthylene oxide is used to sterilize medical instruments, and it does a very good job. It's also pretty toxic to humans. So we don't think that you're going to be cleaning your mellophone at home with this stuff.\nShots can't help but ask if the good doctor isn't being a wee bit alarmist. "Alarmist? We worry about that, we always worry about being alarmist," he tells us. "It's not going to hurt anybody to break down their instrument once a week and clean it." That, he says, is preventive health.\n"Playing a musical instrument has a certain level of hazard," Glass says. "You can minimize the hazard by being fastidious."

What is the AUREA Award?\nThe award is a global competition to identify and celebrate excellence in Augmented and Virtual Reality in the entertainment sector, across a range of applications, products and experiences. Its goal is to award state-of-the art work in this booming sector where technology and creativity meet. AUREA seeks to present products and services that not only deliver great experiences, but also demonstrate the great potential of this sector for the future of technology and entertainment.\nFor entrants, no. For the jury, yes. Because this is our inaugural year, and we want to encourage a wide range of potential entries from all corners of the entertainment sector, we are not asking entrants to declare typical categories such as “application” or “hardware”. We want our all-star jury to have the freedom to decide what the most exciting or groundbreaking products or experiences are, across all potential categories.\nThe jury will be free to determine winners, and they will be looking to award them in five general categories: Creative, Experience, Impact, Innovation, Interaction, and a special category outside the main competition: Lifetime Achievement. You cannot apply for this last category. The jury will decide for itself based on the following criteria: a significant contribution through one’s career; innovative and creative excellence; and a considerable impact on the market.\nEach entry will first be considered based on your online submission of a) answers to the online Entry Form, which includes a short description of the entry and, where applicable, a relevant link or website URL, as well as b) up to 3 uploaded items. These can include documents that describe the entry (for example, PDFs, Presentations, etc.); videos or links to videos showcasing or explaining it.\nWhat do you mean by “entertainment”?\nWe see a vast range of new products and experiences in entertainment. On the content side, that means new forms of film or storytelling projects - from live action to animation - as well as music experiences, live events, games, or mixed reality experiences. This also includes applications, whether they are experienced via headsets, smart phones or other hardware or on-site installations.\nAnd speaking of hardware, there is a boom in great new headsets, wearables and other hardware offering exciting experiences. Finally, this wouldn’t be possible also without a diverse array of enabling technologies, be they platforms, software, middleware, or other solutions working in the background. If you think your entry touches the entertainment sector, even only partially, and moves it forward, we encourage you to enter.\nWho is behind the AUREA Award?\nThe award is an initiative of Mack Media, who are pioneers in bringing together innovative technology with entertainment. Their Virtual Reality roller coaster experience, Coastiality, is already a market-leader in turning theme park rides into thrilling VR experiences or even interactive games. Seeing the great wave of innovation that AR and VR are bringing to entertainment and even live experiences, they have created the AUREA Awards to provide a benchmark for excellence as well as a forum for leaders of the field to gather, exchange ideas and strengthen ties across the many elements of the industry.\nHow will the awards be conducted?\nOnce the entry deadline (Oct. 14, 2018) has been reached, we’ll select and notify a pool of finalists, who will be invited to pitch our all-star jury live at a VIP gathering on November 29-30, 2018 in Europa-Park in Rust, Germany. The awards gathering will feature an intimate, invitation-only conference on Virtual & Augmented Reality, and finalists will be able to take part in this high-level event with jury members and other participants.\nAs part of the proceedings, the jury will select winners immediately after the live pitching sessions, and the awards will be announced at a ceremony that day. Finalists will also be invited to spend the remainder of the weekend enjoying Europa-Park with other attendees or even their families. We invite you to enter this one-of-a-kind competition and be a part of this exclusive conversation about the future of this exciting industry!\nWe therefore invite entrants (for-profit or non-profit companies, foundations, or individuals) from the entire AR and VR ecosystem, be it experience or storytelling producers, game developers, application or service providers, hardware makers, software or platform providers, or other players active in the market.\nAll we ask is that your product or service be operational, either as a company or a working product that our jury can see, hear, touch or experience, and that consumers, users or audiences can or have already experienced it by Oct. 14, 2018, our entry deadline. Entries should have been released or available starting July 14, 2017 to October 14, 2018.\nWe will place judging priority on entries that have more recently entered the market and only one entry per company is allowed.\nWhat is not eligible for entry?\nIn our first year of the awards, we don’t wish to be too constricting. However, some types of entries with little chance of making the cut would include: pitch decks of startups or apps that don’t have a product on the market; demo reels of story ideas for experiences that aren’t yet available; prototypes of hardware devices that aren’t available. In general, if it’s more of an idea than a real thing, we encourage you to keep developing it and possibly enter next year. Also, if your potential entry shows us no plausible connection whatsoever to the entertainment sector of VR and AR, no matter how convincing it is, then it won’t be considered eligible.\nWhen are entries accepted and due?\nEntries Accepted: Starting June 26, 2018 - Apply Now!\nA short, written description – maximum 300 words – of your entry. We suggest you formulate this carefully beforehand and be ready to copy/paste it into the form.\nUp to three uploads that explain and support the entry. These can be documents such as info sheets, flyers, or presentations, links to videos, links to app downloads, or short films themselves (please no longer than 3 minutes).\nYour agreement to abide by the Terms and Conditions described in this document.\nOnce you have submitted your entry, you will receive an automatic confirmation of its receipt. Our team will review the entry and confirm that it is eligible and enter it into the first round of judging to determine the finalists. As part of this process, we reserve the right to contact you via the email address you provide us for clarification or explanation of your entry, or to provide more details if we determine that more information is needed to understand or verify your entry.\nOnce we have confirmed that your entry is eligible, we will notify you that it will be considered for the finalist round starting after the deadline of October 14, 2018. After you have submitted an entry, you may withdraw from the award by contacting us via email. You may also resubmit your entry, for instance if there is a significant update or new material that can support it, but this will then cancel and supersede your previous entry.\nThere is no entry fee. The submission of an entry implies full and unconditional acceptance of all rules.\nWhat should I say in the description?\nHere are no required elements, but your description could include some of the following: a description of the product or experience from the user’s point of view, some background on its creation and launch date, any key metrics or info regarding potential market success, information on the company that is submitting it, and any other info that helps us understand why this entry was created or what it hopes to achieve.\nWhat if my entry is a product or experience that can’t be uploaded or shared easily?\nDon’t worry. We understand that many potential entries are best – or possibly only – experienced fully with particular hardware, software, players, proprietary technology or even spatial environments. If you have such an entry, simply do the best you can with traditional means like the description, photos, short videos, presentations, etc. Please bear in mind that if you are invited to pitch your entry to the jury as a finalist, we would expect that you could then give our jury the “full effect” of your entry. If you are capable of demonstrating it live in an expo or trade show setting, we expect that you can then bring it to Europa-Park for your live pitch.\nThe awards may nominate up to four finalists for each category, to be invited to pitch the All-Star jury. By October 22, 2018, we will announce a select pool of finalists on the website and in other publications relating to the Awards and invite those who have been selected to go on to the live pitch round. Invitations will be sent to the email address you use to register. The nominated finalists will be asked to confirm their acceptance of the nomination and consent to the award. They will be invited to come to the AUREA Awards at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, in the Southwestern part of the country near the Swiss and French borders, on November 29-30, 2018.\nFinalists will be expected to cover the cost of their own travel and transport to Rust, but they will be given complimentary accommodation for 2 nights in one of the distinct hotels on site at Europa-Park. This is limited to two representatives per company/entry. There is no claim to a certain room category. The finalists will be invited to all events related to the AUREA Awards, including tours of the park, dinners and receptions, a conference featuring some of the biggest names in the VR and AR industry, as well as other activities.\nThe live pitches will take place in a semi-public setting featuring the jury members as well as the select group of industry guests invited to attend the AUREA Awards conference. Each entry will be given 10 minutes total, with 5 minutes to make a presentation or demo, and then 5 minutes for Q&A from the jury members.\nHow may I present my entry to the jury?\nIf possible, we invite you to be ready to give the jury the full experience of your entry. So your presentation can range from simply speaking to presenting a PPT presentation, 2D videos or other “traditional” means, or letting the jury experience the entry firsthand, for instance with a headset(s), other hardware you bring, or whatever creative way you want to use to delight and impress the jury. If your entry does not fit into the 5 minute slot, for instance because it’s a longer film or experience, we may potentially allow it to be made available to the jury earlier so that they may experience it in full before the final deliberations are made.\nWhat if I can’t attend the live pitch?\nMaking the live pitch is a required part of winning an AUREA Award. If you cannot attend the live jury pitch, we would unfortunately have to rescind your invitation as a finalist. Therefore, by entering online, you agree to attend the AUREA Awards live pitch on November 29 and 30, 2018 should your entry be chosen as a finalist.\nFirstly, we want the jury to have every opportunity to judge the finalists on a “level playing field”, meaning a live pitch/demo and Q&A process. Secondly, you would not only be attending a live pitch, but also an exclusive conference where every voice and player is important to us. And finally, the two days’ awards and conference promise to be a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet, network and even socialize with some of the brightest lights in the VR and AR industry, and every slot at this exclusive gathering matters to us. So if you can’t make it, we’d like to be able to invite someone else who can.\ninnovation - is this entry something new or innovative?\nimpact - did this entry have an impact on the users, audiences or industry as a whole? If it’s supposed to be entertainment, does it entertain?\ncreative - is there creative excellence on display in any way, be it storytelling, use of technology, or other elements?\nexperience - how well were the ideas executed?

Poised at the forefront of the specialized field of interactive movies, 4DX is a state-of-the-art technology developed by CJ 4DPLEX that aims to immerse patrons in the cinematic experience through the use of tactile and environmental stimuli.\nComparable to a simulator ride at an amusement park, theaters equipped with 4DX utilize seats with servo motors capable of moving up and down, left and right, and forward and back with variable force and speed timed with the action on the screen. Additionally, the seats vibrate, tickle, jostle, and fire small blasts of air for further tactile immersion. Environmentally, 4DX can generate lighting effects, wind, bubbles, snow, fog, and even rain, though movie-goers not wishing to get drenched, or even damp, have the ability to individually turn the water option on or off at their discretion.\n4DX is obviously best implemented by kinetic action flicks that can organically incorporate most of these effects into their narratives. With motion being the centerpiece of the technology, it is readily compatible with films sporting adrenalized settings with high-speed vehicles ranging from cars to jets to spaceships. Any installment of The Fast and the Furious immediately springs to mind as an ideal candidate, but entries in the James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Mission: Impossible franchises would also be excellent matches.\nIn the case of the Star Wars adventure Solo, 4DX is able to flex most of its key features through the production's myriad action scenes and changing environments. The Millennium Falcon is arguably the star of the show, and Solo's breakneck Kessel Run, which sees the iconic ship navigating out of the pull of a gravity well while evading a monstrous space creature, is perhaps the most thrilling moment. It's a signature sequence sure to cement the movie's place in the Star Wars pantheon, and with 4DX, audiences feel all of the pitch, roll, and heave as Han and his crew race through the treacherous expanse. This use is an example of 4DX at its most natural, elevating Solo from passive participation to interactive expedition.\nOnscreen fights are enhanced with timed jostling. Like an aggressive massage chair, the 4DX seat plays whack-a-mole with viewers, with the strongest force coming courtesy of a bar against one's lower back to simulate the hardest punches endured by the characters. Meanwhile, small air ducts mounted on the headrest enhance moments like close calls with gunfire (stormtroopers have notoriously bad aim, providing ample opportunity for shots whizzing by) and a rubber cord mounted at the base of the seat whips against spectators' legs in sync with turbulence.\nAmongst the environmental elements, water will occasionally sprinkle the crowd, most noticeably in a comical shower scene with Han and Chewbacca. Fog machines flanking the screen periodically billow, though one could imagine this feature more brilliantly complementing The Empire Strikes Back, where it would fit seamlessly with Luke's visit to the swamp planet Dagobah, the lightsaber duel on Cloud City, and Han's entombment in carbonite. Solo is better served by the more subtle effect of lighting, when sparks and explosions in the film flash through the theater on cue. The typically ignored sense of smell also gets to join the party, as 4DX is able to release a variety of scents into the air.\nAs of the writing of this article, there are more than 61,000 4DX seats operating in 515 auditoriums across 59 countries. Stateside locations equipped with 4DX include Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, New York, Seattle, Orlando, Chicago, and D.C.

On March 2, 2017, the world lost a lovely lady who left a lasting impression – on many and me. I dedicate this post to her.\nAbout six years ago, I walked into the North Parish at the North Andover Common, pictured, to cover a story I’d been assigned. The article was a human-interest piece on the People’s Pantry, which had been operating out of the parish building since 1992. I enjoyed interviewing volunteers, but was most intrigued with the Pantry’s founder. I left that day with a great story and resolve to get involved. I’ve been volunteering at the Pantry ever since.\nThe People’s Pantry was founded by Cari Marchese, a little lady (not even five feet tall) with a big heart. Her small stature never took away from her powerful presence. She was a firm leader who brought a smile to my face with her strict policies and no-nonsense attitude. Yet she was caring, ensuring that every pantry guest was made to feel welcome and respected.\nCari also took time to make me feel special. She complimented my efforts at Pantry and consistently read my magazine articles with the nicest things to say. She’d email me regularly to comment on my column or ask me how Tony, the girls and Oscar were doing. She’d tell me about her cat, Tony, and we’d giggle about “her Tony and my Tony.” She shared that she had a son in California who was also a writer and encouraged me to keep working at my craft.\nAt Cari’s memorial, when I sat inside the sanctuary of the North Parish for the first time, I marveled at the stories told by her loving husband, Mel, her children and friends. She was a remarkable woman. I left wishing I’d asked her more questions and learned more about her. Sometimes, I’m afraid to pry so I keep conversation light, but only at Cari’s memorial service did I realize how great her accomplishments were and her spirit even greater.\nI’m glad I had the opportunity to know Cari. She inspired me in many ways. Through her, I learned that money need not be the only reward for hard work and passion. Cari dedicated a great portion of her life to volunteerism and she was undoubtedly fulfilled and empowered.\nI wish I’d gotten to know Cari better, but I’m glad I got to know her at all.\nNow, when I see the North Parish, I will think of Cari. In this photo, taken by Linda Holt, @LindaHoltCreative, the bright and colorful light shining on the steeple is the perfect representation of that which Cari brought into this world.\nTo learn more about the People’s Pantry visit NorthParish.org.\nWhat a beautiful tribute Beth. I have driven by that pantry line many mornings and always wondered more about it. Cari left a lasting and wonderful legacy.\nWhat a nice tribute! It’s so impressive all that she has done for this community! This picture of the North Parish is absolutely stunning!\nNice tribute to a very caring person.

A few days ago, I found myself in the emergency room of The New Medical City accompanying my husband who was suffering from another urinary tract infection. We assumed that he was having an infection judging from the fact that he was feverish and that he was passing blood in his urine. The following day, armed with his laboratory test results, we visited a resident urologist in the same hospital and he was diagnosed to have a stone in his right kidney. The stone is relatively small at 0.38 centimeters. He will undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to blast the stones so the blasted particles can easily pass through his ureters and out of his body.\nMy husband's doctor told us that stones naturally form in our kidneys because of our diet. However, these stones should not grow big enough to block the ureters and cause infection and pain. The best way to prevent kidney stones is to stay away from salty food and drink lots of liquids.\nBack in 2006, when I started my battle with the bulge, I started to drink four glasses everyday before breakfast. This method is known as the "Four Glasses Therapy". It was not easy at first and I felt like throwing up but it got better once I got used to it.\nThe ultimate goal of this therapy is cleansing and detoxification. Weight loss is only one of the effects of this detoxification process. If you are trying to lose weight do not have enough budget for a weight loss product, then this may be a better option for you. My mom, who also did this therapy and is still doing this up to now, noticed that it helped regulate her blood pressure and blood sugar.\nNature has blessed us with organic materials for our general wellness. Water is the most common and, yet, the most overlooked among them. Maybe it's time you try water therapy too.

A reporter from a local ABC station was in the middle of a Facebook Live video on Friday when she stopped her broadcast to help rescue a dog caught in floodwaters from Hurricane Florence.\nWTVD’s Julie Wilson was in the middle of the Facebook Live video in New Bern, North Carolina, when she saw a woman struggling to save a dog, a Rottweiler, from the deep water. The dog had been injured.\nWilson continued her live stream of the storm’s damage when she saw the woman having difficulty steering the dog through the water. Wilson asked the woman if she could pick up the dog.\n“Can we pick this one up?” Wilson asked the woman. The reporter gave the woman the camera and carried the dog.\n“You are OK, baby girl,” Wilson told the dog.\nThe woman thanked the reporter for her help.\nWilson later explained what happened and why she jumped into action. She explained the dog was the woman’s son’s therapy dog.\n“That dog wasn’t going to budge, it was just standing there. And quite frankly, [the woman] was just going to get hurt because she wasn’t going to be able to lift that dog. That dog wasn’t going to go, that dog wasn’t going to walk. The only thing we could do was lift it up and get it out so she could get out before more people got hurt in that situation,” Wilson said.\nHurricane Florence has been downgraded to a tropical storm and has weakened on Saturday since it made landfall on Friday. The storm has been blamed for at least six deaths.

During her high school career in Arizona, Paige Linne found out that Texas A&M had an equestrian team and immediately made a goal. She was going to do everything she could to be a member of the Aggies' equestrian team. Linne had several family members, including both of her parents, that attended the school, so naturally she wanted to follow in their footsteps.\nLinne began competing for the Texas A&M stock horse team, a club team that participates in a collegiate division of stock horse shows, during the fall of her freshman year in 2011. While competing with the stock horse team, Linne went to walk-on tryouts for the varsity equestrian team, where she made the cut and crossed that No. 1 goal off her list.\nHard work, determination and dedication allowed Linne to make the team, but they weren't traits that just showed up in college. She was raised with those values, and it showed in high school as she was part of several programs while also helping out her community and church.\nWith Linne recently wrapping up her career on the Texas A&M equestrian team, she immediately started the next chapter of her journey, first by enrolling in the Masters of Equine Industry Management program at Texas A&M, and then by becoming the first graduate student to intern with the National Collegiate Equestrian Association this summer.\nLinne had many responsibilities during her internship, including helping to find sponsors and funding, communicating with administrators at prospective schools all over the country and developing handbooks, among other things.\n"This internship has been an invaluable opportunity for me to learn about the other side of the sport," Linne said. "I am thankful to (Texas A&M senior associate athletics director for facilities and construction) Mr. (Kevin) Hurley for making this internship possible for me, offering to house me in A&M athletics, and challenging me to grow throughout the process. Additionally, the A&M coaching staff, (Texas A&M equine professors) Dr. (Jim) Heird and Dr. (Anna) Morrison have been valuable mentors to me throughout my career at A&M and through this internship. I owe a big thank you to (Texas A&M equestrian head coach) Tana McKay especially, for letting me set up shop in her office from time to time and pick her brain on a variety of topics."\nDuring her time with the NCEA, Linne showed an ability to get things done, and made an impact on those she worked with.\n"Paige’s work ethic was obvious from the first day," NCEA executive director Leah Fiorentino said. "She worked closely with the new school initiative and became an active member of the Sport Advancement Committee. Her attention to detail and her written communication skills were called into play in the development of information materials for the athletic directors considering the addition of equestrian as a sport at their schools."\nWith the NCEA internship, Linne was able to learn a lot more about the sport of equestrian in general, and came away from the experience with an entirely new appreciation for how much work goes on behind the scenes.\n"I knew I loved the sport from the position of a student-athlete, but this internship exposed me to important facets of the sport - from what it takes for a school to start a new team, fundraising efforts and the overall structure of college equestrian programs," Linne said. "I hope to continue to be an advocate for the sport in whatever way I can."\nThe chances of Linne continuing to make an impact on the sport are definitely high. After getting her masters degree in the Texas A&M equine program, she hopes to become a head coach at the NCAA level. While in graduate school, Linne serves as the coach of the stock horse team, back where her Aggie career first started.\nLinne's former head coach has all the faith in the world that the Arizona native can accomplish yet another dream goal.\n"I thoroughly enjoyed having Paige on the team," McKay said. "She was an exemplary teammate and leader. It has also been exciting to see Paige enter into her professional career and the process of grad school. She has handled the challenges and new responsibilities with class and character. I know Paige will be an asset to the equine industry."\n"After continuing to learn more about the sport and my experience with the stock horse team, I feel like coaching is my place to make an impact in the world and the best way for me to continue to pursue my passions and be a positive force in the lives of others," Linne added.\nLinne believes that both her experience as an equestrian student-athlete and as an intern for the NCEA have more than prepared her for the future. Thanks to Linne jumping at the opportunities to challenge herself and learn more about the sport, that future appears very bright.\n"I saw and experienced firsthand how participation as an equestrian student-athlete can empower and enlighten young women," Linne said. "Team members leave with an education that expands well beyond the classroom, having gained time management and leadership skills and being instilled with a sense of dedication and competitive drive in whatever field they pursue after graduation. I can say that the perspective I have about the sport is different after interning for the NCEA, and I think it lit my fire of passion even more for women's collegiate equestrian and the impact it can have in the lives of young women."\n"Paige’s pathway to success is clear," Fiorentino added. "She has the potential to move into the collegiate coaching arena, and might even move to higher administrative levels. I am so grateful to Paige for her contributions this summer, and I can’t wait for her to join the coaching ranks."

Python core development news and information.\nWhen a user reports that your program crashes or hangs, sometimes you can only help to try and collect more information and outline a scenario to reproduce the situation. Even with a reliable user scenario, as a developer you are often unable to reproduce the situation due to environment differences, e.g., operating system and compiler. If you are lucky, the user will be able to install debug tools, but most of time you will have to wait until another person is able to obtain more information from the same situation.\nUse the repeat=True option to dump the traceback each timeout seconds, or exit=True to immediatly exit the program in an unsafe fashion, e.g. don't flush files.\nAnother possibility is to explicitly call faulthandler.dump_traceback() in your program.\nfaulthandler is disabled by default for security reasons, mainly because it stores the file descriptor of sys.stderr and writes the tracebacks into this file descriptor. If sys.stderr is closed and the file descriptor is reused, the file descriptor may be a socket, a pipe, a critical file or something else. By default, faulthandler writes the tracebacks to sys.stderr, but you can specify another file. For more information, see the faulthandler documentation.\nfaulthandler is also maintained as a third-party module for Python 2.5 through 3.2 on PyPI . The major difference between the Python 3.3 module and the third-party module is the implementation of dump_tracebacks_later(): Python 3.3 uses a thread with a timeout on a lock, whereas the third party uses SIGALRM and alarm().\nThe lock timeout, which is a new feature of Python 3.3, has a microsecond resolution. The alarm() timer used on older versions has a resolution of one second, and the SIGALRM signal may interrupt the current system call which will fail with an EINTR error.\nThe new faulthandler module has already helped with tracking down race conditions in our buildbots. We hope that it will also help you in your programs.\nPython Insider by the Python Core Developers is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.\nBased on a work at blog.python.org.

It’s official: Israel’s Ministry of Health approves medical marijuana vaporizer. While vaporizers are hardly a brand new innovation, this motion is sort of groundbreaking. By approving this vaporizer, Israel has turn out to be the primary nation on the earth to certify “paraphernalia” as an accepted medical system.\nOn Tuesday, Israel gave the Tel Aviv-based hashish firm Kanabo Research the inexperienced mild to mass produce its VapePod medical hashish vaporizer. Now, there shall be a consumption system out there for sufferers to make use of hashish extracts.\nBut what’s so particular about this vape? According to the corporate, it may possibly exactly measure out doses of the treatment. The plans are to promote the product to medical marijuana sufferers who’ve skilled difficulties prior to now with discovering the right dosage. The firm believes this technique will result in higher remedy and extra correct administration of medical hashish.\n“This approval is a significant announcement for the medical cannabis patients in Israel who will be able to use the medical vaporizer for the first time,” Kanabo’s co-founder Avihu Tamir informed the Jerusalem Post.\nInterestingly, Kanabo is a comparatively small firm. Established in 2016, it presently employs solely round 12 individuals. Yet, it’s one of 50 medical marijuana operations within the nation engaged on hashish merchandise.\nSome stories present buyers have spent almost $100 million on the event of medical marijuana inhalers and different units.\nAs it stands, Israel leads the world in medical marijuana analysis and improvement. The nation is planning to export medical hashish to the United States within the close to future. Although, we should always notice that it has been reported that the Trump administration has tried to discourage this motion.\nCannabis business leaders complain that coverage points have pressured the forfeiture of the $30 billion medical marijuana business. Federal regulation continues to hinder medical marijuana analysis nationwide. This lack of consideration has triggered different nations, like Israel, to get forward of the medical marijuana recreation.\n“Businesses outside of the country are already making billions of dollars,” stated Rick Doblin, founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). “Canada, the Netherlands, and Israel all have booming cannabis research sectors. We have enormous opportunity that we’re squandering.” he added.\nAs of now, Israeli sufferers can use solely flower-based medical marijuana remedies. The approval of this gadget will permit these cleared for medical marijuana use to scale back the potential well being dangers of inhaling smoke. While hashish smoke could be very totally different from that of tobacco, docs typically advise their sufferers to keep away from persistent smoking of any sort or substance. This vaporizer will permit medical marijuana sufferers to have an alternative choice of consumption whereas taking their medicine.

Exposure to loud music can lead to hearing loss.\nSticking things in your ear can cause cuts and earwax impactions.\nPiercing your own ears is not a good idea.\nIt won’t be wrong to say that our ears are pretty low-maintenance parts of our body. You don’t have to clean them but most people prefer using cotton swabs on regular basis to get rid of ear wax. But that may not be a good idea after all. Wondering why ? Well, when you put cotton-tipped swap inside your ears in a attmept to remove wax, there is a good chance you are putting your ears and hearing at risk.\nYou can open up small cuts in your ear canal when you use Q-tips while cleaning your ears. You could also puncture your eardrum, or force wax deeper into the ear where it can plug, causing hear trouble or pain. Although, there is nothing to worry about while cleaning the outer rim of your ear canal if you notice wax accumulation there, digging inside should be avoided. Most people don’t know that the wax is there for a reason. You may find it hard to believe but this wax has antibacterial properties that protect your ear from infection. Besides, it also keeps your ear canal moist.\nBelow are some common mistakes all of us have been making with our ears and need to stop them right away.\nRoughly 15% of Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 have some level of hearing loss due to loud noise exposure, according to the National Institute on Deafness. And research from the Indian Journal of Otology (and plenty other places) suggests loud music played through earphones could be a major cause. Rosenfeld says in-ear buds—much more so than over-ear headphones—are likely to cause damage. "A general rule of thumb is if people around you can hear your music, you're playing it too loud," he says.\nApart from the risks of cutting your canal or forcing wax back into your inner ear, sticking a finger in your ear is a mistake because your nails tend to conceal lots of microscopic bacteria that could cause an infection, Comer says.\nEspecially if you're diabetic or pre-diabetic, you're at greater risk for infection. "Diabetes damages your body's very small blood vessels, and also hurts the flow of blood to your ears," Comer explains. "So the stuff in your blood that your body naturally produces to fight infection doesn't get to your ears very effectively."\nYou have fond memories of your mother piercing your ears when you were a kid. But set your nostalgia aside and put down the needle. "I see infections related to this all the time," Comer says. "It's just really not a good idea." You want to visit a professional piercer who has the proper (and properly sterilized) instruments, Comer says.\nIn at least one way, hearing loss is like hair loss: whatever you lose is probably gone forever. "We all experience a little ringing or muffling from time to time," Rosenfeld says. "But if it's persistent or growing worse over time, you need to see someone."\nAnother reason to see a doc: You have ear pain. But its not necessarily because your ears are in trouble. "Ear pain is not always related to an ear problem," Rosenfeld says. Your jaw, teeth, and throat share common nerves with your ears. And so problems with any of them, including throat cancer, can manifest as ear pain, he explains.\nSo if you're having persistent pain—the kind that lasts more than a day or two—see someone about it, he advises.\nLike nose-pickers, some people are fond of scratching or digging in their ears, Rosenfeld says. Paperclips, pen caps, and other right-sized desk sundries are the most common tools of the trade. And all could be causing cuts or earwax impactions that lead to pain or infections, he says. Comer adds that most ENTs will tell you "don't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear," and he thinks that's good advice.

If you are in the market for a new bifolding doors, then you may be considering ultra slim or frameless bifolding doors. These variations on the conventional bifolding door provide a folding door but one that gives you much more glass and less visible aluminium than a typical bifolding door.\nFrameless glass doors are designed to feature maximum glass and little visible framing.\nWhat is the definition of a frameless bifolding door?\nSome bifolding doors are not frameless but marketed as such.\nWho makes frameless bifolding doors?\nComparing Sunseeker, ID Systems & Frameless Glass Curtains.\nSunseeker Doors Frameless Glass Doors.\nGlass options on frameless bifolding doors.\nGlass options separate and differentiate frameless glass doors.\nProfile Dimensions of Frameless Glass Doors.\nFrameless Door Weather Performance and Security.\nFrameless bifolding door warranties and guarantees.\nWhy Frameless Glass Curtains is the better frameless bifolding door.\nIt meets Building Regulations and has certification.\nHow much do frameless bifolding doors cost?\nThe fundamental difference between a frameless bifolding door and a conventional folding door is how it looks, how it operates and its construction.\nA frameless bifolding door does away with the aluminium profile on many of the verticals and is intended to give a cleaner, clearer appearance as though you have a wall of glass. Frameless bifolding doors, in short, comprise far less aluminium than a standard bifolding door – but are they truly frameless?\nOnly a structural glazed product can feature no frame at all; many commercial buildings can feature structural glazing. So while the use of the word ‘frameless’ may imply that there is no frame at all there always will be some. Aluminium is still required not only to provide strength and integrity to the product but also to provide a fixing point for the hardware and for the doors to hang and work correctly. Aluminium will also be used to the perimeter frame so that it can be fixed to the structure. The threshold will also be made of aluminium.\nWhat frameless glass doors have is a design that aims to use as little visible aluminium as possible and more visible glass area than a regular full framed aluminium door.\nIf we have therefore established that a frameless door must still consist of some framing to critical areas, what constitutes a frameless door?\nTo a door or window professional, a ‘mullion’ is a specific window section or a combination of sections designed to create a vertical member or the appearance of one. In our opinion, a frameless door can be interpreted as one with no visible mullion. No mullion means no visible section on the intermediate verticals where all the doors meet.\nThe correct definition of a frameless door is one that has no mullion.\nFGC Doors showing a minimal visible sightline (the gaskets).\nSunseeker doors are slim but the profile where doors meet is clear to see.\nID Systems again with a visible profile where the doors meet.\nNo mullion should also mean no capping pieces, flat bars or any aluminium or plastic profile at the junction where the door panels meet. This is our interpretation of what constitutes a frameless bifolding door. Others may disagree by our definition. However, all three products we are comparing here (and others) market themselves as not having the door profiles found on conventional doors where they meet. With this in mind, we consider the definition a fair one.\nWhen choosing a frameless door, it’s important to separate the facts from the fiction.\nJust about anyone researching a product will turn to the internet and most likely Google. However, a search for “frameless bifolding doors” will throw up a wide variety of results, in both the organic and sponsored listings.\nMany companies are bidding for the keyword ‘frameless’ and ‘bifold’ for you to click on their website, but they do not offer this product at all. We checked.\nStudy the images that accompany frameless doors and you will often see standard doors instead.\nEven national brands are advertising frameless doors, but they don’t offer them. We checked.\nMany advertised frameless doors are single glazed only. They are for internal use and don’t have weather ratings.\nDoors marketed as frameless double glazed doors have a profile where the doors meet in the middle – a visible ‘mullion’.\nSeveral products are only for internal or commercial use.\nSome frameless doors are the same products with a different brand name.\nOur goal was to find three frameless doors that are suitable for residential use and that which we could compare.\nSunseeker Doors Frameless Double Glazed System.\nThere are other products on the market too. For example, there are Sliding Glass Walls from DORMA; although these are for commercial applications and not for dwellings. You will also find the FD75 flush glazed door from The Folding Sliding Door Company. We couldn’t consider it as a frameless bifold for this review. Although it may give the appearance of being frameless it still relies on framing all the way around the door panels. It is the way the glass is constructed that contributes to its seamless appearance. That being said, we do like this door and would recommend considering it if you’re not explicitly looking for a frameless door.\nAnother company you will find is Finline doors, but these are the Sunseeker product. Optima is a further choice but like DORMA these are intended for commercial or internal applications.\nWhat became evident in trying to fathom out these different products was that the frameless door description is overused. There was no common theme around these doors. So it is important to clarify first, what exactly is a frameless door?\nThese three products all offer different visuals, technical specifications, price points and guarantees.\nThe choices you’ll make will be based on your specific criteria. We receive daily enquiries from consumers asking “what’s the best window” or “what’s the best door”. While all products will meet minimum industry standards, some are better made, have more impressive features of varying levels of customer service. It is the features that matter to you that should influence your decision.\nFrameless Glass Curtains, Sunseeker and ID Systems products are great sellers and popular. All three products compared here are also beautiful doors. Each company is established and has a successful track record in what they do.\nSunseeker has previously reported year on year growth, so their doors are clearly popular with customers.\nFrameless Glass Curtains have designed their product from scratch and install them nationwide and internationally. Their doors have recently been fitted in a world-class luxury cruise liner. They have also been provided anywhere from a terraced house to a mansion, eco homes and commercially.\nID Systems also provide their products to a large number of different dwellings, and they too have carried out some very impressive installations.\nAll the products differ, some are better specified and better certified. Our goal is to give you some balanced and impartial information to help you come to your conclusion.\nID Systems offer a range of doors but the frameless version is only single glazed.\nID Systems are based in Norwich and provide a wide variety of glass products. In their range, you will find bifolding and sliding doors, Glass Walls, windows, entrance Doors, roof products and balustrades.\nID Systems have been established for over 20 years and also offer the excellent Sunflex folding door brand.\nThe SF25 system by ID Systems is a good looking slim and aesthetically pleasing door. It cannot be used for comparison purposes as it is only available as single glazed. Great if single glazed doors are suitable for your project or going inside the home, but we suggest for many it won’t be acceptable.\nSF20 by ID Systems is an internal frameless door system. We like this because not only is it frameless and sleek but can provide door panels of 1600mm wide and up to 2600mm in height. Where its limitations become apparent is that it can only come with a maximum of five panels. The FGC door, by comparison, has been used in many internal applications as a single or double glazed door and can be made with more panels as needed.\nID Systems do offer further choices with their slimline slide and turn SF30 and SF35 products. However, these have (albeit slim) aluminium between the glass doors so we would not regard these as frameless in the same way FGC doors are. They also imply that these products are better used to close off a conservatory (while still meeting Building Regulations) rather than a full external door. These doors can also be made as curved and angled doors too.\nSo ultimately when compared to ID Systems, Frameless Glass Curtains offer both an internal and external solution by providing a single and double glazed product in a frameless door. Their doors also have no restrictions on Building Regulation compliance and no criteria that they are better used internally.\nSunseeker doors while visually similar to frameless doors still use a plant-on profile, a mullion.\nSunseeker Doors offer their Frameless Glass Doors. These too are an aluminium system on the perimeter frame and the horizontal rails of the door panels. However, there the similarity ends.\nSunseeker doors while they may look similar in their images have a 38mm plant-on section surrounding the double glazed units where each side meets. This section applied at this point is relevant. The reason for this is that the Sunseeker doors use standard double glazed units. If a double glazed unit is left with exposed edges and they are not protected, the glass unit will fail, not to mention the sides of the glass would be visible and unsightly.\nFinally, Sunseeker doors can only go up to 800mm wide per door panel, whereas the other two brands can be made larger.\nFrameless glass curtains feature no mullion or frame where the door panels meet.\nFrameless Glass Curtains (FGC) offer a selection of glass door products manufactured in their factory in Chatham, Kent. They supply and install on a nationwide basis to residential and commercial properties. In their range, you will find entrance doors, room dividers, glazed screens and of course the frameless bifolding doors.\nFGC design and patent their doors with some innovative features and innovations. Some of these include high levels of security, sound and thermal insulation and impressive weather resistance.\nIn a double glazed frameless bifolding door from FGC, you will find glass made from Pilkington Planitherm 4s. It has a ‘U’ value of 1.0 W/m2K. In practical terms, this creates a thermally efficient product that is comfortable as an all year round door.\nFGC doors can be ordered as single or double glazed doors and are suitable for fitting internally or externally. They also come with a ten-year guarantee.\nIn the following sections we take a look at the various features that make up a Frameless Door system and explain some of the key differences.\nAll doors feature the slide, swing and fold arrangement that is typical of how these doors operate. The access leaf is swung open and then each panel slides along the track to its stop and hinges open. With all door panels open, they are stacked in a folded open position.\nBe careful that frameless doors aren’t those intended for internal use only and single glazed.\nIf you are looking for an internal frameless glass door, it is fair to say any of these three products will be suitable.\nIf you are looking for an external door – a bifolding door, you will want a double or even a triple glazed door. As we suggested, some frameless systems are only available to buy single glazed when asked for as a frameless glass door. Do check this out when looking at these and other products on the market. A single glazed frameless door makes for an excellent room divider, pool enclosure or to separate off a garden. All three companies can provide this product in these circumstances.\nSunseeker Doors offer their frameless doors as single glazed only. If you want a double glazed option, you’ll have to go with their Ultraslim variant but have a visible mullion.\nID Systems offer their Sliding Turn Systems but state clearly on their website that they are ideal for balconies, room dividers, and patio areas. However, they are clear that these doors only provide a ‘moderate’ weather rating for projects that do not require compliance with current Building Regulations. Therefore this rules them out for external use.\nTherefore for glass options, the Frameless Glass Curtains product comes out on top. You can have single, double or even triple glazed in one product.\nAesthetics is a personal matter. Everyone will have a different view as to which product is the better-looking door. Study the images of all three doors on the company websites and you’ll see some great installations set off by some beautiful doors.\nUsing our definition of no visible mullion, the Frameless Glass Curtains is the clear winner. This is not to imply that the other doors are aesthetically inferior. The FGC product is the only one we know or could find with no visible mullion.\nThe Frameless Glass Curtains doors are designed and engineered to do away with the visible profile, no matter how small or slim, that the other doors used and require by design.\nSunseeker, ID Systems and other products all rely on some form of aluminium or plastic profile at the vertical areas where the doors meet; FGC uses sophisticated gaskets only. Again the result is no visible mullion.\nFGC have achieved this through many ways, but one excellent detail is in the unique glass they use that is different from anyone else. Their doors use quality glass just like any other, but the spacer bar that separates the two panes is what’s unique. Where all other double glazed products use a metal or plastic spacer bar, FGC’s is made of glass, and it’s toughened as well. FGC have also patented this toughened glass spacer bar and it is totally unique to them.\nSunseeker doors features a cover strip over the glass where it meets in the middle and on the ends.\nOnly a gasket between the doors. Other doors rely on aluminium or plastic profile.\nID Systems, depending on the product will show visible profile if double glazed.\nA typical spacer bar found on most double glazed units.\nThe edge of the glass detail looks sleek, continues the transparency of the glass right to the edge and looks completely different. Looking at the FGC doors close up reveals a really great design feature. We had never seen a double glazed unit with a glass spacer bar before, and we recommend you see it for yourselves.\nAll matters of visible mullions, spacer bars and aesthetics aside, we reaffirm that all three doors are attractive. For clarity, we provide some of the critical dimensions for each of the products.\nThe Sunseeker frameless system frame is 40mm high by 63mm thick. The Frameless Glass Curtains Clearline system is slightly different at 44mm x 61mm. The 4mm difference between the two is marginal and won’t affect the visual sight lines that significantly.\nFor the door panels themselves, Sunseeker doors are 42mm high and 51mm thick. The FGC Clearline doors are smaller than this making for a slimmer door.\nThe ID Systems doors also stack cleanly and neatly and offer similar dimensions to the above. Technical information wasn’t available to give you specifics. It really will depend on what product you decide to use from their range because of the single glazed issue highlighted above.\nIn the fully folded position, Frameless Glass Curtains take up much less space than fully framed doors.\nOne advantage to having a frameless glass door is that it takes up far less space when all the panels are folded back.\nFull aluminium bifolds will usually take up far more space when all stacked together. This is because the doors are thicker front to back so it is logical that they will be bulkier too.\nTaking a four-panel door as an example in the fully stacked open position, Frameless Glass Curtains come out as the slimmest with only 180mm of stack taken up. Sunseeker doors are nearly twice as thick at 310mm. ID Systems are virtually the same as well.\nTherefore if you are looking for the frameless door that will take up a small amount of space, FGC wins it. In our experience stacking thicknesses of doors are not the deciding factor for buyers – overall aesthetics tend to matter much more. However, you will want to consider this if you have doors inside your home as room dividers. The FGC doors are the slimmest of the three.\nAs far as the thresholds are concerned, the door made by Frameless Glass Curtains has the competition beaten on the heights. Their doors offer an unbelievably slim threshold that sits only 5mm above the finished floor level. That aside, all systems can be set into the floor as low or high as desired to achieve a flat floor level inside and out.\nWe were unable to establish clearly whether the Sunseeker and ID Systems products have passed any weather or security standards. This does not imply they will be easy to break into or that they leak. If sales of standard doors and windows are anything to go by, consumers want to see some evidence of certification. On an ID Systems and Sunseeker door, it is quite hard to clarify. We’d welcome their confirmation on this.\nTherefore if you are considering either the ID Systems or the Sunseeker frameless products in whatever variant, we would recommend you establish in writing what you are getting. With both being established businesses customers are buying their products, but we expected to see a more transparent approach to what their frameless products achieve technically.\nFGC are very clear in what their doors offer. They meet the latest enhanced PAS security standards, severe weather rating and quality standards for their glass units.\nOnce again we recommend you check out each company to establish clearly what performance standards, certification and testing has been carried out.\nWith Sunseeker there was little by way of clear information either on their websites or when we contacted the Company. Our understanding is that Sunseeker doors offer a 2-year guarantee on their products.\nFrameless Glass Curtains offer a 10-year insurance backed guarantee.\nID Systems market a 5-year guarantee although we’d recommend establishing whether this is across their entire range, or product specific. Their warranties are also transferable should the property be sold during the warranty period.\nWhen compared to the Sunseeker and the ID Systems doors, Frameless Glass Curtains are the better door. There are three key points that make this product different and worthy of consideration. These key points may not matter to every customer as each will have different requirements. However, for aesthetics, completeness and certification, FGC doors come out on top.\nAll three products are excellent, fit for purpose and sold by three different but established firms. For a frameless glass door without the visible mullion, the FGC door is better in our view. It doesn’t have one.\nThe FGC door again seems to win on functionality with simplicity. One product does it all. It is a door that will meet every customer need as one product. If you want a double or triple glazed door you can have one without having to choose an alternative. FGC doors are suitable for both external and internal applications, commercial and residential projects as well.\nAs an external door, the FGC door meets Building Regulations. It also offers transparent information on its certification and accreditation. It’s security tested, weather tested and has patents.\nSo what about prices of these doors? The nature of the door industry is such that there are no recommended retail prices. All three businesses are transparent in their pricing, and we suggest you contact each company with your requirements for a quotation.\nWe have stressed throughout this review that each product is fit for purpose, and you should see all three to help your purchasing decision. We set some benchmarks to compare the three doors around the glass, aesthetics and technical specifications. What we did find is a lot of confusion around frameless doors. We suggest you do your own research as well.\nFrameless Glass Curtains offer a frameless glass door at home internally and externally.\nThe important thing to remember is that most types of frameless glass doors come with some compromise. You either have to choose a non-thermally broken system, or a slim system with advanced glazing or one that is for internal use.\nFrameless Glass Curtains as a complete product doesn’t compromise, and we consider their doors be a great door solution whether you need it inside or out. It offers all the benefits of an insulated, secure, weather tested and certified aluminium door but as a frameless design without a visible mullion.\nIf you would like more information on frameless glass bifolding doors or any other door product, please contact us.\nSunseeeker images courtesy of Sunseeker Doors.\nHello David, thank you for your comment on the Aluminium Trade Supply Website.\nIt is perfectly possible to do the frameless glass doors at the sizes you mention. For the best prices and service I recommend you contact the manufacturer directly that can also install nationwide.\nHope this helps, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.\nI’m looking for any personal reviews of Vision Glass Doors, who I think also trade as Sunseeker. Particularly looking for opinions on their UltraSlim Slide and Turn and how it compares to others in the market (e.g ID Systems). This article is a couple of years old, so I’m not sure if it is all still relevant? I’m particularly interested in any clarity on performance from a weather and security perspective.\nHello Mark, I’ve replied to you by email on this. We’ve never had anything negative reported on these doors and ID Systems have done a lot of installations with these doors.

The list of links in "Cross references", above, to pages in Children of the Amphioxus is intended to provide general background to lamprey locomotion.\nActivities of identified interneurons, motoneurons, and muscle fibers during fictive swimming in the lamprey and effects of reticulospinal and dorsal cell stimulation.\n"1. Application of D-glutamate to the isolated spinal cord of the lamprey produces phasic activity in ventral roots, which is similar to that of the muscles of the intact swimming animal. Therefore, the isolated spinal cord may be used as a convenient model for the investigation of the generation of locomotor rhythms in a vertebrate.\n5. Edge cells were only weakly modulated during fictive swimming. Their peak depolarizations occurred near the end of the VR burst ... Most giant interneurons were not phasically modulated during fictive swimming.\n6. Repetitive intracellular stimulation of Müller cells during fictive swimming generally evoked an increased burst intensity in ipsilateral VRs and a decreased burst intensity in contralateral VRs. The cells M3, B1, and B2 also produced increases or decreases in the frequency of VR bursts. Repetitive intracellular stimulation of sensory dorsal cells could also change the intensities and timing of VR bursts.\n7. This study is an initial survey of lamprey spinal interneurons that participate in swimming activity. Lateral interneurons and CC interneurons are active during fictive swimming and probably help coordinate the undulations of the body, but their roles in pattern generation are not known. The central pattern generator is subject to modification by descending and sensory inputs."\n"The central nervous system of the lamprey contains serotonergic (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) neurones both in the spinal cord and in the brainstem. Endogenously released 5-HT from these systems modulates the pattern of fictive locomotion induced in the in vitro preparation; the burst rate is lowered and burst discharges become longer and of higher intensity. Local application of 5-HT, mimicking activation of the 5-HT systems, has a specific effect on the late phase of the afterhyperpolarization (AHP) in motoneurones and interneurones. 5-HT markedly reduces the amplitude of the late AHP without affecting passive membrane properties or the shape or threshold of the action potential. This 5-HT effect appears to result from a direct action on the calcium-dependent potassium channels underlying the late phase of the AHP. A reduction of the amplitude of the AHP will result in altered spike discharge characteristics, with potentiation of the response (discharge rate) to a given excitatory input in all neurones influenced by 5-HT.\nIt is suggested that the modulatory effect of 5-HT on fictive locomotion can be attributed to its action on the late AHP and thereby to the potentiation of excitability in excitatory and inhibitory interneurones in the generator circuitry. This has been further corroborated in computer simulation studies of a network model, where the action of 5-HT was simulated by decreasing AHP amplitude, resulting in a slowing of the rhythm analogous to the effect demonstrated experimentally."\n"A great deal of our current understanding of the brain originated from discoveries made at the cellular and molecular levels. However, even with all of the pieces of information at hand, it is very difficult to sort out the relevant mechanisms responsible for the operation of a neural system. Thus, we must use experimental models that are simple enough to understand and yet sufficiently complex to capture essential features of whatever function we want to consider. On the other hand, we need to be able to test the relative contribution of these features and therefore must recur to computer simulations of system models. In this paper, we deal with the motor system used for ambulation. Locomotion is a universal pattern of behavior generated by a family of different neural control systems: (1) generation of the propulsion (rhythmic limb or trunk movements); (2) visuomotor coordination adapting the movements to the environment..."\nNeural networks that co-ordinate locomotion and body orientation in lamprey.\n"The networks of the brainstem and spinal cord that co-ordinate locomotion and body orientation in lamprey are described. The cycle-to-cycle pattern generation of these networks is produced by interacting glutamatergic and glycinergic neurones, with NMDA receptor-channels playing an important role at lower rates of locomotion.\nThe fine tuning of the networks produced by 5-HT, dopamine and GABA systems involves a modulation of Ca2+-dependent K+ channels, high- and low-threshold voltage-activated Ca2+ channels and presynaptic inhibitory mechanisms."\n"The vestibular control of the body orientation during swimming is exerted via reticulospinal neurones located in different reticular nuclei. These neurones become activated maximally at different angles of tilt."\nInteraction between the caudal brainstem and the lamprey central pattern generator for locomotion.\n"Because of its remarkable simplicity and the robustness of the isolated preparation, the lamprey has been used as a model system to study locomotion and its central pattern generator. The function of the spinal cord is relatively well understood in this context, but the role of the brain or even the caudal brainstem remains less so.\nWe here present a study of the interaction between the caudal brainstem and the spinal pattern generator for locomotion. We show that the interaction is highly complex, with both feedforward input from the brainstem to spinal cord and feedback input from the spinal cord to brainstem playing a significant role in the motor output during locomotion.\nThe brainstem, when diffusely stimulated pharmacologically, can initiate fictive locomotion, or it can disrupt or alter the ongoing D-glutamate initiated motor output. The nature of the disruptions vary greatly, and can induce generalized irregularity, while the alterations can include accelerating or decelerating of the bursting. All behaviors are displayed with spectrograms of the motor nerve discharge. We also show that the unstimulated brainstem can disrupt as well as slow the bursting, but in a complex fashion. Finally, a slow episodic behavior initiated from the caudal brainstem is also described. This can be elicited either by D-glutamate to the brainstem or by ascending activity from the spinal cord pattern generator.\nThus, we demonstrate that the interaction between the brainstem and the spinal cord during the production of locomotion is highly complex. The locomotion that is exhibited by the combined brainstem-spinal cord preparation is extremely variable. This is in striking contrast to the variability of the locomotor output pharmacologically induced in the spinal cord alone. The latter preparation exhibits remarkable regularity, or upon occasion, irregularity, but not the routine irregularity or the systemic up and down changes in frequency seen with the brainstem present. However, the pattern of frequency changes induced by the brainstem is not predictable, and remains to be understood."\n"... the interaction is highly complex, with both feedforward input from the brainstem to spinal cord and feedback input from the spinal cord to brainstem playing a significant role in the motor output during locomotion."\nA mesencephalic relay for visual inputs to reticulospinal neurones in lampreys.\n"Visual stimuli elicit motor responses in lampreys. These responses rely, in part, on the activation of reticulospinal (RS) neurones which constitute the main descending pathway in these early vertebrates. This study sought to identify and characterize possible mesencephalic relays for visual inputs to RS neurones of the rhombencephalon.\nThe anatomical substrate subserving this function was investigated by iontophoretically ejecting cobalt-lysine, a retrograde tracer, in the middle rhombencephalic reticular nucleus in the in vitro isolated brainstem preparation of young adult Petromyzon marinus. Several populations of cells were retrogradely labeled in the brainstem. Of particular interest were the cell populations found on each side of rostral mesencephalon, located in the tectum and pretectum. There were, on average, 113 cells labeled contralateral to the injection site and 80 cells labeled ipsilateral to the injection site. The cells were morphologically similar on both sides, except that the contralateral group had larger cell bodies as compared to the group on the ipsilateral side.\nTo determine whether the axons of the cells contacted reticulospinal neurones, electrophysiological experiments were carried out in which the region containing these cells was microstimulated. Large post-synaptic potentials were recorded intracellularly in RS neurones. Furthermore, microstimulation of the optic nerve on the same side as the recorded cell (i ON) evoked responses with a pattern similar to those resulting from stimulation of the optic tectum contralateral to the cell recorded (co OT), except for the longer response latencies. Local ejection of xylocaine (1% lidocaine hydrochloride) or CNQX (1 mM) onto the co OT reversibly abolished the responses evoked from stimulation of the i ON. There were no significant effects observed when the drug was ejected onto optic tectum ipsilateral to the cell.\nTaken together, the results from this study indicate that the crossed tectoreticular pathway is involved in relaying optic nerve inputs to RS neurones of the middle rhombencephalic reticular nucleus. Moreover, cells of origin of this pathway appear, in all respect, homologous to cells giving rise to the crossed tectobulbar pathway in other vertebrates."\n"Taken together, the results from this study indicate that the crossed tectoreticular pathway is involved in relaying optic nerve inputs to RS neurones of the middle rhombencephalic reticular nucleus. Moreover, cells of origin of this pathway appear, in all respect, homologous to cells giving rise to the crossed tectobulbar pathway in other vertebrates."\nSee the paper for the links.\n"The sensory control of lamprey dorsal fin motoneurons was studied by using paired intracellular recordings combined with a morphological analysis.\nDorsal cells innervating the skin of the dorsal fin and fin motoneurons were retrogradely labeled by injecting fluoresceincoupled dextran amines into the dorsal fin. Labeled motoneurons and dorsal cells showed close appositions, suggesting that the dorsal cells innervating the fin region make monosynaptic connections with fin motoneurons.\nBy using conventional electrophysiological criteria, monosynaptic excitatory connections were found between fin dorsal cells and fin motoneurons. In addition, Lucifer yellow injection followed by confocal three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructions of monosynaptically connected pairs, revealed close apposition between dorsal cell axons and the distal dendrites of fin motoneurons. Each fin motoneuron received monosynaptic excitatory input from at least four different afferents. The amplitude of the monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP)s was reduced by administration of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist DL,2 amino-5-phosphovaleric acid (APV).\nSensory stimulation could also elicit di- or oligosynaptic inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP)s, which were blocked by the glycine antagonist strychnine, resulting in the appearance of large monosynaptic EPSPs, which could induce action potentials."\n" By using conventional electrophysiological criteria, monosynaptic excitatory connections were found between fin dorsal cells and fin motoneurons."\nOrganization of the lamprey striatum - transmitters and projections.\n"The purpose of the present study is to characterize the striatum of the lamprey by immunohistochemical and tracing techniques.\nCells immunoreactive for GABA and substance P (SP), and positive for acetylcholinesterase, are present in the lamprey striatum.\nImmunoreactive (ir) fibers were detected by antisera raised against SP, dopamine, enkephalin and serotonin. These immunoreactive fibers were mainly located in the periventricular neuropil that borders the striatum and in which GABAergic striatal neurons distributed their dendritic arbors.\nPutative connections between the striatum, the ventral part of the lateral pallium, and the diencephalic motor centers involved in the control of locomotion were studied by using fluorescein-coupled dextran amines (FDA) as a tracer. The striatum projects to the ventral part of the lateral pallium (lpv), where GABA-ir cells and SP-ir fibers were also present. The lpv in turn projects to the ventral thalamus, which has descending connections to the reticulospinal cells involved in the control of locomotion.\nThese results, together with previous findings of histaminergic and neurotensin projections, suggest that the lamprey striatum and its inputs with regard to neurotransmitters/modulators are very similar to those of modem amniotes, including primates, and are thus conserved to a high degree."\n"The striatum projects to the ventral part of the lateral pallium (lpv), where GABA-ir cells and SP-ir fibers were also present. The lpv in turn projects to the ventral thalamus, which has descending connections to the reticulospinal cells involved in the control of locomotion."\nNote mention of the "ventral thalamus".\nDifferential effects of the reticulospinal system on locomotion in lamprey.\n"The main conclusion of the present study is that the proportion of RS neurons with different influences on the spinal locomotor network differs significantly among different parts of the reticular formation of the lamprey. The specificity of RS influences may represent a basis for modifications of the segmental locomotor output necessary for the control of equilibrium and steering during locomotion."\nUnfortunately, there's no mention of neurotransmitters, so it doesn't provide any insight into the roles of glutamate vs GABA in locomotion.\n"The forebrain, brain stem, and spinal cord contribution to the control of locomotion is reviewed in this chapter. The lamprey is used as an experimental model because it allows a detailed cellular analysis of the neuronal network underlying locomotion. The focus is on cellular mechanisms that are important for the pattern generation, as well as different types of pre- and postsynaptic modulation. Neuropeptides target different cellular and synaptic mechanisms and cause long-lasting changes ( > 24 h) in network function."\n"The forebrain, brain stem, and spinal cord contribution to the control of locomotion ..."\n"Behavioral studies in lampreys of the northern genera, Ichthyomyzon, reveal that sensory inputs initiate and modulate locomotion by activation of reticulospinal (RS) neurones.\n"The interneurones relaying afferent vestibular, trigeminal, lateral line, cutaneous and proprioceptive inputs are localized in the rhombencephalic region"\nThis is another example of behavior which was initiated, not by the Substantia Nigra pars Compacta (SNc) and not by the rhombocephalon, but by sensory input relayed by interneurones in the rhombencephalon. This may turn out to be what is actually happening in most cases.\nThe roles of spinal interneurons and motoneurons in the lamprey locomotor network.\n"The isolated lamprey spinal cord offers a relatively simple and convenient adult preparation in which to investigate how nerve cells generate behavior and in particular the rhythmic motor patterns of locomotion. Nerve cell classes can be identified and their cellular and synaptic properties characterized, and a simple model based on demonstrated synaptic connectivity can account for major aspects of fictive swimming. Clearly, however, much remains to be learned. In particular, the properties of the spinal neurons have been shown to change during swimming activity but relatively little is known about how these changes occur or the effects that these changes have upon the activities of the network. In addition, much remains to be learned about the cell types and their synaptic interactions as demonstrated here with the newly discovered feedback connections from motoneurons, which have not been previously taken into account in modeling of the lamprey locomotor network."\nActivity-dependent metaplasticity of inhibitory and excitatory synaptic transmission in the lamprey spinal cord locomotor network.\nA cellular mechanism for the transformation of a sensory input into a motor command.\n"The initiation and control of locomotion largely depend on processing of sensory inputs. The cellular bases of locomotion have been extensively studied in lampreys where reticulospinal (RS) neurons constitute the main descending system activating and controlling the spinal locomotor networks. Ca(2+) imaging and intracellular recordings were used to study the pattern of activation of RS neurons in response to cutaneous stimulation.\nPressure applied to the skin evoked a linear input/output relationship in RS neurons until a threshold level, at which a depolarizing plateau was induced, the occurrence of which was associated with the onset of swimming activity in a semi-intact preparation.\nThe occurrence of a depolarizing plateau was abolished by blocking the NMDA receptors that are located on RS cells. Moreover, the depolarizing plateaus were accompanied by a rise in [Ca(2+)](i), and an intracellular injection of the Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA into single RS cells abolished the plateaus, suggesting that the latter are Ca(2+) dependent and rely on intrinsic properties of RS cells. The plateaus were shown to result from the activation of a Ca(2+)-activated nonselective cation current that maintains the cell in a depolarized state.\nIt is concluded that this intrinsic property of the RS neuron is then responsible for the transformation of an incoming sensory signal into a motor command that is then forwarded to the spinal locomotor networks."\nThe intrinsic function of a motor system--from ion channels to networks and behavior.\n"The forebrain, brainstem and spinal cord contribution to the control of locomotion is reviewed in this article. The lamprey is used as an experimental model since it allows a detailed cellular analysis of the neuronal network underlying locomotion. The focus is on cellular mechanisms that are important for the pattern generation, as well as different types of pre- and postsynaptic modulation. This experimental model is bridging the gap between the molecular and cellular level to the network and behavioral level."\nStimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region elicits controlled swimming in semi-intact lampreys.\n"The role of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) in initiating and controlling the power of swimming was studied in semi-intact preparations of larval and adult sea lampreys. The brain and the rostral portion of the spinal cord were exposed in vitro, while the intact caudal two-thirds of the body swam freely in the Ringer's-containing chamber.\nElectrical microstimulation (2-10 Hz; 0. 1-5.0 microA) within a small periventricular region in the caudal mesencephalon elicited well-coordinated and controlled swimming that began within a few seconds after the onset of stimulation and lasted throughout the stimulation period. Swimming stopped several seconds after the end of stimulation. The power of swimming, expressed by the strength of the muscle contractions and the frequency and the amplitude of the lateral displacement of the body or tail, increased as the intensity or frequency of the stimulating current were increased. Micro-injection of AMPA, an excitatory amino acid agonist, into the MLR also elicited active swimming.\nElectrical stimulation of the MLR elicited large EPSPs in reticulospinal neurons (RS) of the middle rhombencephalic reticular nucleus (MRRN), which also displayed rhythmic activity during swimming. The retrograde tracer cobalt-lysine was injected into the MRRN and neurons (dia. 10-20 microm) were labelled in the MLR, indicating that this region projects to the rhombencephalic reticular formation.\nTaken together, the present results indicate that, as higher vertebrates, lampreys possess a specific mesencephalic region that controls locomotion, and the effects onto the spinal cord are relayed by brainstem RS neurons."\n"Taken together, the present results indicate that, as higher vertebrates, lampreys possess a specific mesencephalic region that controls locomotion, and the effects onto the spinal cord are relayed by brainstem RS neurons."\nHeterogeneity of the population of command neurons in the lamprey.\nFast and slow locomotor burst generation in the hemispinal cord of the lamprey.\n"A fundamental question in vertebrate locomotion is whether distinct spinal networks exist that are capable of generating rhythmic output for each group of muscle synergists. In many vertebrates including the lamprey, it has been claimed that burst activity depends on reciprocal inhibition between antagonists.\nThis question was addressed in the isolated lamprey spinal cord in which the left and right sides of each myotome display rhythmic alternating activity. We sectioned the spinal cord along the midline and tested whether rhythmic motor activity could be induced in the hemicord with bath-applied D-glutamate or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) as in the intact spinal cord or by brief trains of electrical stimuli.\nFast rhythmic bursting (2-12 Hz), coordinated across ventral roots, was observed with all three methods. Furthermore, to diminish gradually the crossed glycinergic inhibition, a progressive surgical lesioning of axons crossing the midline was implemented. This resulted in a gradual increase in burst frequency, linking firmly the fast hemicord rhythm [6.6 +/- 1.7 (SD) Hz] to fictive swimming in the intact cord (2.4 +/- 0.7 Hz). Ipsilateral glycinergic inhibition was not required for the hemicord burst pattern generation, suggesting that an interaction between excitatory glutamatergic neurons suffices to produce the unilateral burst pattern. In NMDA, burst activity at a much lower rate (0.1-0.4 Hz) was also encountered, which required the voltage-dependent properties of NMDA receptors in contrast to the fast rhythm.\nSwimming is thus produced by pairs of unilateral burst generating networks with reciprocal inhibitory connections that not only ensure left/right alternation but also downregulate frequency."\n"Swimming is thus produced by pairs of unilateral burst generating networks with reciprocal inhibitory connections that not only ensure left/right alternation but also downregulate frequency."\nTectal control of locomotion, steering, and eye movements in lamprey.\n"The intrinsic function of the brain stem-spinal cord networks eliciting the locomotor synergy is well described in the lamprey-a vertebrate model system. This study addresses the role of tectum in integrating eye, body orientation, and locomotor movements as in steering and goal-directed behavior.\nElectrical stimuli were applied to different areas within the optic tectum in head-restrained semi-intact lampreys (n = 40). Motions of the eyes and body were recorded simultaneously (videotaped).\nBrief pulse trains (<0.5 s) elicited only eye movements, but with longer stimuli (>0.5 s) lateral bending movements of the body (orientation movements) were added, and with even longer stimuli locomotor movements were initiated. Depending on the tectal area stimulated, four characteristic response patterns were observed.\nIn a lateral area conjugate horizontal eye movements combined with lateral bending movements of the body and locomotor movements were elicited, depending on stimulus duration. The amplitude of the eye movement and bending movements was site specific within this region.\nIn a rostromedial area, bilateral downward vertical eye movements occurred. In a caudomedial tectal area, large-amplitude undulatory body movements akin to struggling behavior were elicited, combined with large-amplitude eye movements that were antiphasic to the body movements. The alternating eye movements were not dependent on vestibuloocular reflexes.\nFinally, in a caudolateral area locomotor movements without eye or bending movements could be elicited. These results show that tectum can provide integrated motor responses of eye, body orientation, and locomotion of the type that would be required in goal-directed locomotion."\n"These results show that tectum can provide integrated motor responses of eye, body orientation, and locomotion of the type that would be required in goal-directed locomotion."\nNote: At this point PubMed seems to have changed the results for this search. I need to review the references starting here to see if there is anything that I didn't find the first time through which may be useful.\nDescending brain-spinal cord projections in a primitive vertebrate, the lamprey: cerebrospinal fluid-contacting and dopaminergic neurons.\n"We used Neurobiotin as a retrograde tract tracer in both larval and adult sea lampreys and observed a number of neuronal brainstem populations (mainly reticular and octaval populations and some diencephalic nuclei) that project to the spinal cord, in agreement with the results of previous tracer studies.\nWe also observed small labeled neurons in the ventral hypothalamus, the mammillary region, and the paratubercular nucleus, nuclei that were not reported as spinal projecting. Notably, most of the labeled cells of the mammillary region and some of the ventral hypothalamus were cerebrospinal fluid-contacting (CSF-c) neurons.\nCombined tract tracing and immunocytochemistry showed that some of the labeled neurons of the mammillary and paratubercular nuclei were dopamine immunoreactive. In addition, some CSF-c cells were labeled in the caudal rhombencephalon and rostral spinal cord, and many were also dopamine immunoreactive.\nResults with other tracers (biotinylated dextran amines, horseradish peroxidase, and the carbocyanine dye DiI) also demonstrated that the molecular weight or the molecular nature of the tracer was determinant in revealing diencephalic cells with very thin axons.\nThe results show that descending systems afferent to the spinal cord in lampreys are more varied than previously reported, and reveal a descending projection from CSF-c cells, which is unknown in vertebrates. The present results also reveal the existence of large differences between agnathans and gnathostomes in the organization of the dopaminergic cells that project to the spinal cord."\n"We ... observed a number of neuronal brainstem populations (mainly reticular and octaval populations and some diencephalic nuclei) that project to the spinal cord, in agreement with the results of previous tracer studies.\nI'm interested in projections to the spinal cord. The above mentions the DLR but not the MLR. What is the interaction between them?\nNeural bases of goal-directed locomotion in vertebrates--an overview.\nThe activity of spinal commissural interneurons during fictive locomotion in the lamprey.\n"Locomotor networks in the spinal cord are controlled by descending systems which in turn receive feedback signals from ascending systems about the state of the locomotor networks. In lamprey, the ascending system consists of spinobulbar neurons which convey spinal network signals to the two descending systems, the reticulospinal and vestibulospinal neurons.\nPrevious studies showed that spinobulbar neurons consist of both ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting cells distributed at all rostrocaudal levels of the spinal cord, though most numerous near the obex. The axons of spinobulbar neurons ascend in the ventrolateral spinal cord and brainstem to the caudal mesencephalon and within the dendritic arbors of reticulospinal and vestibulospinal neurons. Compared to mammals, the ascending system in lampreys is more direct, consisting of excitatory and inhibitory monosynaptic inputs from spinobulbar neurons to reticulospinal neurons.\nThe spinobulbar neurons are rhythmically active during fictive locomotion, representing a wide range of timing relationships with nearby ventral root bursts including those in phase, out of phase, and active during burst transitions between opposite ventral roots. The spinobulbar neurons are not simply relay cells because they can have mutual synaptic interactions with their reticulospinal neuron targets and they can have synaptic outputs to other spinal neurons. Spinobulbar neurons not only receive locomotor inputs but also receive direct inputs from primary mechanosensory neurons. Due to the relative simplicity of the lamprey nervous system and motor control system, the spinobulbar neurons and their interactions with reticulospinal neurons may be advantageous for investigating the general organization of ascending systems in the vertebrate."\n" In lamprey, the ascending system consists of spinobulbar neurons which convey spinal network signals to the two descending systems, the reticulospinal and vestibulospinal neurons."\nSimple cellular and network control principles govern complex patterns of motor behavior.\n"Spinal interneurons are organized into networks that control the activity and output of the motor system. This review outlines recent progress in defining the rules that govern the assembly and function of spinal motor networks, focusing on three main areas.\nWe first examine how subtle variations in the wiring diagrams and organization of locomotor networks in different vertebrates permits animals to adapt their motor programs to the demands of their physical environment.\nWe discuss how the membrane properties of spinal interneurons, and their synaptic interactions, underlie the modulation of motor circuits and encoded motor behaviors.\nWe also describe recent molecular genetic approaches to map and manipulate the connectivity and interactions of spinal interneurons and to assess the impact of such perturbations on network function and motor behavior."\nThe lamprey locomotor network, arguably the ancestral doyen of vertebrate locomotor systems, generates a pronounced left-right alternation of motor output in each segment, while imposing a segmental phase lag that results in the propagation of an undulatory wave of motor activity along the body axis, from head to tail ( 5 ). This basic motor strategy is evident in most fish, in the larval stages of amphibia, and in a more limited form, in some mammals ( 8 , 10 , 6 , 11 ).\nSome 100 million years after the emergence of agnathans, the acquisition of pectoral fins – paired appendages that represent the precursors of the tetrapod limb – permitted aquatic vertebrates to use them for steering and move them in either alternating or synchronous modes during locomotion.\nMammals, comparative newcomers that appeared on the scene only ?130 million years ago, have retained and embellished this versatile appendicular addition to the motor repertoire."\n"The first vertebrates to emerge, some 500 millions year ago" ... "Mammals, comparative newcomers that appeared on the scene only ?130 million years ago"\nA parallel cholinergic brainstem pathway for enhancing locomotor drive.\n"The brainstem locomotor system is believed to be organized serially from the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) to reticulospinal neurons, which in turn project to locomotor neurons in the spinal cord. We identified brainstem muscarinoceptive neurons in lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) that received parallel inputs from the MLR and projected back to reticulospinal cells to amplify and extend the duration of locomotor output. These cells responded to muscarine with extended periods of excitation, received direct muscarinic excitation from the MLR and projected glutamatergic excitation to reticulospinal neurons. Targeted blockade of muscarine receptors over these neurons profoundly reduced MLR-induced excitation of reticulospinal neurons and markedly slowed MLR-evoked locomotion. The presence of these neurons forces us to rethink the organization of supraspinal locomotor control, to include a sustained feedforward loop that boosts locomotor output."\n"The brainstem locomotor system is believed to be organized serially from the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) to reticulospinal neurons, which in turn project to locomotor neurons in the spinal cord. We identified brainstem muscarinoceptive neurons in lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) that received parallel inputs from the MLR and projected back to reticulospinal cells to amplify and extend the duration of locomotor output."\n"Discrete neural networks in the central nervous system generate the repertoire of motor behavior necessary for animal survival. The final motor output of these networks is the result of the anatomical connectivity between the individual neurons and also their biophysical properties as well as the dynamics of their synaptic transmission. To illustrate how this processing takes place to produce coordinated motor activity, we have summarized some of the results available from the lamprey spinal locomotor network.

Many personal injury lawsuits come down to a “he said/she said” conflict: Two people get into an accident and each accuses the other of causing it. But what happens when one of the parties dies as the result of the accident, and there is no way to prove or disprove the survivor’s account of what happened? A federal judge in Georgia recently dealt with just this situation when sorting out the aftermath of a tragic boating accident.\nIn July 2009, three people boarded a 23-foot motorboat and traveled to Raccoon Island, a privately owned island in Chatham County. The three people included the boat’s owner, his female partner and another male passenger. While attending a party on Raccoon Island, the owner and his partner consumed alcohol and cocaine. During their return trip the following morning, the group’s boat hit a jetty on nearby Jekyll Island.\nThe owner and his partner were thrown from the boat. The owner managed to return to the boat and broadcast a mayday, to which the U.S. Coast Guard responded. He then searched for his female partner. He found her lying dead, face down in the water.\nThe estate also said the owner of Raccoon Island, a limited liability company, was liable for hosting a party where drugs and alcohol were served to people they knew were operating boats. The company failed to respond to the estate’s lawsuit in a timely manner. In August 2014, Judge Wood therefore entered default judgment for the estate and ordered the company to pay damages of $2 million.\nThis left the boat’s owner as the sole remaining defendant. Judge Wood held a one-day bench trial in July 2014. On July 10 of this year, she rendered her decision. The estate based its wrongful death claims on both federal admiralty jurisdiction and Georgia law governing the operation of motorboats.\nAt trial, the boat owner testified his partner was operating the boat at the moment of the accident. The other passenger could not see who was driving. Although the owner normally operated his own boat, he testified his partner had ample experience operating the vehicle in and around Jekyll Island. He also said he was unaware of her consumption of illegal drugs at the party.\nIn the absence of any evidence to the contrary, Judge Wood found the owner’s testimony credible. Although police investigators concluded the accident was the result of “driver inattention,” Judge Wood said there was “insufficient evidence” proving, as the estate alleged, the owner was actually driving the boat when it hit the jetty. And even if the owner was somehow negligent in allowing his impaired partner to operate the boat, Georgia law would not permit the estate to recover based on the deceased’s negligence. Accordingly, Judge Wood entered judgment for the boat owner.

Lime is not a German Jewish thing, it turns out.\nCo-founder Rebecca’s take on soup for your soul. The more lime the better. Buen Provecho!\nMy whole life I thought that putting lime and cilantro in chicken soup was a Jewish thing. Because lime and cilantro are super common in Germany and Poland, right? It turns out that it is Salvadoran. I only realized this a couple of years ago when I was with Neil and my aunt at a marketplace in San Salvador. We ordered chicken soup, lime came with it, and then basically my brain exploded. All I knew is that my Mami did it this way. So while it may not be traditionally Jewish it’s certainly my Mash-Up Jewish tradition!\nLime in Chicken Soup Traditional Jewish chicken soup, served with lime and cilantro. Because that’s how we do.\nPut the whole chicken (with giblets, if that’s your thing) and all chopped vegetables in a large pot. Add salt + bay leaves, peppercorns, allspice berries, garlic, cilantro and parsley. Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Bring down to a gentle simmer and add rice (optional). Cook for 1.5 hours at gentle simmer, adding water as needed to keep everything covered. After 1.5 hours chicken should fall apart with touch of a spoon. Break chicken apart in the pot. Leave the bones, people can pick them out of their bowls. Salt and pepper to taste. The longer you cook it, the better it gets, but it can be served after 1.5 hours. Serve with half a lime, and pass more sliced limes and thick Salvadoran tortillas.\nLet your soul be satisfied. Enjoy!

Richmond County District Attorney Michael McMahon said, "At a time when opioid addiction is destroying lives on Staten Island, law enforcement and the community at large need all the support they can get. We have been on the front lines of this battle, fighting back and also saving lives, but there is more that must be done before we can declare victory. Fortunately, we have leaders such as 腾讯分分彩官网Governor Cuomo who are taking action to help those in need. From increasing access to treatment, to working with and empowering law enforcement to stop the spread of illegal and deadly substances like fentanyl, the Governor has been there for communities still struggling -- and that includes Staten Island. We are proud to be working with him once again to tackle this crisis and help our families in need."

Rain in the City can be brutal: empty cabs are impossible to find, the subway is delayed, umbrellas are untamable, and raw sewage flows directly into our waterways. Yes, you read that correctly. When enough rain falls, untreated sewage mixed with polluted storm water flows directly into bodies of water across the City as combined sewage overflow (CSO). How often does this happen? Is raw sewage flowing into New York Harbor right now? Under New York law, you have the right to know. Chances are, though, you do not. Rest assured, you did not miss an advisory or fail to notice a pipe spilling out sewage. You likely do not know whether a CSO event is occurring because New York City’s current alert system is slow, uninformative, and needs to be replaced.\nFirst, why is this happening? New York is an old city with old infrastructure. Sewage systems were initially designed to combine gray water (showers and sinks), sewage (toilets), and storm water (rainwater that collects in storm drains) into one collection system. Under normal conditions, this “combined sewage” flows through a wastewater treatment facility where solids, pathogens, and chemicals are removed before the treated water is returned to a body of water. When too much rainwater accumulates, the system collects more than it can process. Since the combined sewage needs to go somewhere, the collection pipes are designed to intentionally “overflow” into a body of water without first passing through the wastewater treatment facility.\nDumping untreated human waste into our bodies of water is just as bad as it sounds. According to the most recent State of the Estuary report, CSO events introduce more pathogens (the microorganisms that cause such diseases as typhoid, cholera, and hepatitis) into our waterways than any other source. The aptly named Swimming in Sewage report adds that CSO events also introduce carcinogenic chemicals and cause “dead zones” that disrupt fisheries.\nDespite these risks, CSO events occur frequently throughout the City. This is because as little as one twentieth of an inch of rain is all that it takes to cause a CSO event. On average, that translates to at least one CSO event every week. With 460 discharge sites across the City, this means over 27 billion gallons of sewage and storm water each year flow directly into the harbor without any treatment.\nUnless you are planning on avoiding water altogether, it is critical that you know when a CSO event is occurring. If CSO is flowing into a body of water, you should avoid contact (e.g. swimming, boating, fishing, etc.) with that body of water (anywhere that could possibly overflow is required by law to have a warning sign). However, because the City does not draw its drinking water from local bodies of water, CSO events will not affect your tap water.\nKnowing when a CSO event is occurring can also help you reduce the impact of the event. For example, if you wait to do laundry and use the dishwasher, take shorter showers, run the tap less, or even flush only when necessary, you will reduce the volume of sewage flowing through the system and potentially offset the additional rainwater causing the overflow. Constant reminders can also serve as a motivation to invest in longer-term solutions like green infrastructure that absorbs or slows rainwater runoff.\nThe City has just started a pilot alert program in Brooklyn, but the scale is small and advertising is limited. We need to let the City know that this is an important issue that we want to be informed about. Though critics may say that CSO events are insignificant and that warning the public is a waste of time, CSO is hazardous to public health and the environment and we have a legal right to know when it is happening. Let the City know that you care by emailing the pilot program, [email protected], and asking for the alert system to be offered to a wider area. Addressing this issue would go a long way towards protecting our waterways and would also help make rain in the City a lot less brutal.

The Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving wonders of the ancient world, are undoubtedly Egypt’s most-visited attraction, and for good reason. But farther up the River Nile, the essential artery that blesses the otherwise barren sands of the Sahara with lush life, the tombs and temples of southern Egypt harbour their own complex riddles that lie in wait, ready to be unlocked.\nSeeing these magnificent, ancient sites in person allow them to spring to life more than they ever could behind glass in a foreign museum. From Luxor, often dubbed ‘the world’s largest open-air museum’, along the Nile to Aswan, southern Egypt’s temples and tombs stand with their doors open, inviting in modern-day detectives to uncover the secrets and mysteries of this ancient civilisation in a country that Egyptians today still call Umm Al Dunya, mother of the world.\nEgypt’s largest temple complex, Karnak was the Vatican of its day. Ten cathedrals could be stuffed inside the space, which covers more than 2 sq km and contains multiple temples, timeworn houses and a sacred pool for offerings and sacrifices. Some visitors never make it past the gargantuan Temple of Amun-Ra, the terrestrial ‘home’ of the king of the gods and father of the pharaoh, which sprouts with a forest of 10m-tall, hieroglyphic-covered columns (indeed, some might still be lost within this playground prime for playing hide-and-go-seek). But there’s plenty more to explore, though some areas are still being excavated.\nKarnak’s secret lies at its entrance, and it’s tempting to rush straight past the bland, undecorated walls to explore the treasures within. Over a span of 1500 years, Karnak was constructed, chopped, changed, razed and rebuilt by 30 pharaohs. The farther back you walk into the complex, the further back in time you travel, making the area that you first enter comparatively new. So new in fact, that construction was never completed, and the remnants of the mudbrick ramps that workers used to assemble this gateway still lie there waiting to be used millennia later.\nFollow the nearly excavated avenue lined with sphinxes three kilometres from Karnak to Luxor Temple, anchored by two colossal statues of Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt’s greatest leaders who loved to show his power by plastering his face on the kingdom’s monuments. Set in the middle of the ancient capital of Thebes, Luxor Temple has been in almost continuous use as a place of worship since its construction in the 13th century BC. It was originally built to honour the pharaohs and gods idolised by the ancients, but if you look closely enough, you’ll find evidence of more modern religions.\nEmbedded in the structure of the temple itself are the foundations of the Mosque of Abu Al Haggag, which was constructed in medieval times. Luxor Temple was nearly entombed under centuries of debris and rubble, which had formed a new artificial ground level that locals started building on, meaning that the original front door of the mosque is now precariously perched midway up a wall.\nPerhaps the mosque isn’t much of a secret, especially if you happen to visit during the midday azan (call to prayer), which will rattle your eardrums if you’re standing right below the minarets. But tucked further away in the complex are faded paintings from the early Christian era, delicately plastered over the hieroglyphics. The muted faces gaze curiously towards the original decorations of a seated Egyptian god surrounded by a ring of etched cobras and cartouches.\nIn ancient times, the west bank of the Nile, where the setting sun throws its last rays over the golden sands of the desert, was seen as the home of the dead, while the east bank, the first to greet the morning light, was the home of the living. The hills west of Luxor hide Egypt’s largest pharaonic necropolis, the Valley of the Kings. From the outside, the tombs look like plain, simple entryways carved into the rock, but step inside to see the best examples of art still surviving from the ancient world.\nMore than 60 tombs have been discovered in the Valley of the Kings, but only a rotating section of about 15 are open to the public at any given time. Long since stripped of their sarcophagi and heaps of afterlife treasures – taken to decorate locals’ homes and populate far-flung Western museums – some tombs in the Valley of the Kings can be disappointing. But the recently renovated Tomb of Seti I, closed since 1991 but finally reopened at the end of 2016, is immaculate and might be the highlight of your trip to Egypt.\nHardly visited because of its slightly eye-watering entrance fee (LE1000, about £40), Seti I’s tomb feels like a secret in plain sight, and it’s worth the splurge: this is one of Egypt’s greatest not-talked-about wonders, even though it’s full of superlatives. This tomb is the longest, deepest and most complete of any in the Valley of the Kings, and its art set the precedent for every subsequent tomb constructed here. The first to have paintings cover every passageway, Seti I's 137m-long tomb is a monument to a golden age of art in ancient Egypt. Stars dot the ceiling, painted as black as the night sky. Vivid scenes of Seti I with the gods and passages from the Book of the Dead and other ancient funerary texts are splashed across every wall and across the domed ceiling (the first of its kind) in the burial chamber. The colour has been wonderfully restored, and it looks like the artists could have just finished up yesterday.\nDedicated to the sun god Horus, the Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved in Egypt and one of the few with its roof still in place, making it much easier to feel what atmosphere of the inner sanctuaries must have been like thousands of years ago, as you gradually venture from bright desert sun into cool and still darkness. Its late construction, which started only 2700 years ago, has likely contributed to its preservation, but that’s not to say that it hasn’t been modified since.\nHidden amongst the Egyptian hieroglyphics on the back enclosing wall is a curious carving. Chopped away from the original stone is a surprising symbol of a fish, a Christian badge that gives a small hint of the later uses of this temple and how its congregants started to worship a new ‘sun god’, Jesus Christ. Look up as you’re walking through Edfu’s inner rooms to see the sooty black residue left from fire burned here after Christianity was adopted and pagan temples like this were ordered to be closed.\nStanding proudly on a bend in the Nile, the temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt’s only double temple, was dedicated to two gods: the crocodile god Sobek and falcon-headed Horus. Nile crocodiles would freely roam the temple grounds and were mummified when they died. More than 300 croc mummies have been unearthed around the premises and are now on display at the Crocodile Museum near the temple’s exit.\nAlong with his other divine duties, the ancients believed that Horus was a doctor, and they would flock to Kom Ombo to be healed. Hieroglyphics on the back wall of the temple are thought to be the first depictions of medical tools ever recorded. About 40 medical instruments are carved here, from forceps and scalpels to knives and a vase with ever-burning incense.\nAt ancient Egypt’s southern frontier, the Temple of Isis on the island of Philae was one of the last pagan temples to operate after the arrival of Christianity. The rising seasonal waters of the Nile would partially submerge the temple, and the flooded remains were a favourite of Victorian explorers who would row their boats amongst the columns and kiosks. Dam construction projects in the 20th century threatened to drown the temple entirely, so after Unesco intervention, it was moved block by block to higher ground on a nearby island.\nThis temple is thought to be where the last hieroglyphic was inscribed, carved in AD 394, before Christianity became more widespread. Many reliefs of the ancient Egyptian gods at this temple are defaced, and Christian symbols have been carved out of some, including a number of Coptic crosses and an altar.\nChipped into the side of a mountain, the mighty temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel looks intimidating. Four 20m-high stern-faced statues of the most recognisable pharaoh guard the entrance. The ever-shifting Sahara sands had covered the structure up to the statues’ shoulders when Swiss explorer Jean-Louis Burckhardt accidentally stumbled across it in 1813, fresh from rediscovering Petra for the West a year earlier.\nLike the temple at Philae, the temples of Abu Simbel, imperilled by rising river waters from construction of dams on the Nile, were moved to higher ground in 1968. The original temple was orientated so that each year on 21 February and 21 October, Ramses’ birthday and coronation day, light from the sunrise illuminated part of the darkest of the chambers, where statues of three gods and another carving of Ramses II sit. However, since the temple’s relocation, the illumination now happens on the 22nd.\nIt’s worth hiring a guide for your explorations, as there is almost no signage at any of these tombs or temples. While these wonders are magnificent enough to walk through, the best (and perhaps only) way to understand the stories behind the symbols is to hire a guide who specialises in Egyptology to translate for you. Guides are not permitted inside the tombs at the Valley of the Kings, but they can explain with pictures outside before you enter.\nThe best way to see these temples and tombs is on a Nile cruise. Boats ply the river between Luxor and Aswan and will call at these stops en route over the course of a few days’ sailing.\nLauren Keith travelled to Egypt with support from Exodus Travels.

Losing or damaging a tooth due to trauma can be a scary and unnerving experience. Equally as frightening is waking up to a severe toothache or a dental abscess. Knowing how to deal with these situations can help you stay calm and collected and get the treatment you and your condition require. Learn more about what to do after a dental emergency with Dr. Kern Agader at Dental Perfections in Kapolei, HI.\nLost Tooth: If a tooth becomes dislodged or gets knocked out, it is important to stay calm. If possible, retrieve the lost tooth. Hold it by its crown (top) and do not touch its roots. If the tooth is dirty, rinse it with water, but do not scrub any tissue remaining on the roots. Gently try to replace the tooth into its socket, stopping if this task requires any force or is painful. If this is not possible, store the tooth in a container of milk and see your dentist immediately for the necessary treatment.\nDental Abscess: A dental abscess occurs due to an infected tooth and presents itself as a pimple-like bump located on the gum. If you cannot get in to see your Kapolei dentist immediately, try rinsing your mouth with salt water and applying a cold compress to decrease pain or swelling. Do not “wait it out”. Due to its location and severity, the infection can spread to other parts of the body.\nBroken or Damaged Tooth: A damaged or broken tooth requires dental care as soon as possible. If your tooth is bleeding, apply gauze to the area to try and stop the bleeding. Use a cold compress to relieve pain or swelling and see your dentist as soon as you can.\nChipped Tooth: A chipped tooth is not always a dental emergency though it can be alarming. If your tooth is chipped and not bleeding or cracked, retrieve the part of the tooth which has chipped off and bring it with you to your dental appointment.\nToothache: A toothache is a sign that decay has reached the inner pulp chamber of your tooth. This usually requires a root canal to clear out the infected tissues. Receiving the proper treatment early can decrease the risk of the tooth breaking or becoming more painful.\nTo learn more about what to do in a dental emergency, please contact Dr. Agader at Dental Perfections in Kapolei, HI. Call (808) 674-8895 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Agader today!

Erin, I have been following your struggle on facebook. I am touched by your strength and optimism. You may not remember me but, you were my leader in the 'Springboard' course at BGSU. 6 years later, Ive come to learn exactly how you became a leader for that course! You have such an amazing outlook on life and know how to perceive every situation in a positive way.... the right way. I remember you always smiling and greeting us into class, taking myself and kate to lunch, showing us around campus and Bowling Green with no hesitation. I never felt like the "new kid on campus" around you and to this day I appreciate that and you! Continuing our friendship on facebook, I appreciated you allowing me to watch you move on with your life maintaining your joy and happiness for all your surroundings as you wed and gave birth to two beautiful baby girls! It breaks my heart that you are now going through this. I envy your optimism and love for life. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing me to pray for you and your lovely family. Remember, this too shall pass.\nI received this link from our son Stephen. We want you to know that we have been praying for you and will continue to do so. At our church we have also placed your names on our church prayer list and there are many praying for both of you! We have also shared your story and information with our extended friend list and many of them have committed to pray for your situation for the long haul!\nIn our church hymnal there is a simple chorus that we sing.\nThe storms that would my way oppose!\nAnd tempers every wind that blows!\nGod Bless you Erin and Dennis and family!\nErin, you are strong and brave and will weather this storm with grace and patience. I'm just glad this storm is more severe thunderstorm with nickel-sized hail rather than Hurricane Malignancy. As I was saying to Dad, maybe we need to have another over 21 Raig sister Napa trip once you are healed!\nErin, we are sending healing prayers and get well wishes your way from Philly! We know you can't keep a GREAT girl down, not for long, anyway!!!\nGod bless you and your family Erin. Your on my prayer list.

Bengaluru, November 5: india skipper Virat Kohli turns 30 on Monday (November 5) and his awesome career has already seen him climbing several peaks - the latest being the fastest man to reach the 10000-run mark in that format.\nMyKhel takes this opportunity to select the top five ODI innings of Virat Kohli and check how he has progressed as a behemoth in the 50-over format.\nKohli played a smash-hit innings at the Blundstone Arena (Bellerive Oval), Hobart, when India needed a bonus point win over Sri Lanka to enter the final of the tri-series. After making 320/4, Sri Lanka were almost assured of a berth in the final. Until Kohli walked in after the early dismissals of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. India needed to overhaul the target in 40 overs for a bonus point. Kohli's 133 off 86 balls with 16 fours and two sixes helped India surmount the target in just 36.4 overs. He tore apart Lasith Malinga (7.4-0-96-1) including a 24-run over.\nThis knock came a few weeks after his heroics against Sri Lanka at Hobart. Once Pakistan made 329, the Asia Cup match at Dhaka looked going only one way. But in walked Kohli and made 183 off 148 balls as India won with two overs to spare. The Chase Master was born and he only grew in stature thereafter.\nAt Pune, England had posted a massive 350 and India were reduced to 63/4 and a rare home drubbing looked imminent. But Kohli (122, 105b, 8x4, 5x6) had other ideas as he in the company of Kedar Jadhav (120, 76b, 12x4, 4x6) toyed with England bowling attack in a 200-run match-winning partnership. Kohli was dismissed much before India reached the target but he set it up beautifully.\nIndia were down in the ODI series and once Australia posed 350/6 on the back of hundreds by George Bailey and Shane Watson, the visitors were in a strong place to win the series. But India got off a strong start as Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma added 178 for the opening wicket. Kohli carried on the good work despite needing 173 runs 20 overs. He just smashed the Aussie attack everywhere in his 66 -ball innings that contained 18 fours and a six. He took India past the barrier.\nHere Kohli was helping India to set the target. In the company of Suresh Rainaa and Shikhar Dhawan, Kohli made 107 off 126 balls with 8 fours. By no means, it was not a sparkling innings but he was short of runs in the tri-series that preceded this World Cup match at the Adelaide Oval. Kohli's knock helped India set Pakistan a formidable 301 and Mohammad Shami's four-wicket burst helped India maintain their grip over the neighbours in the ICC events.

Our power costs are CHEAP here in the MidWest!\nBest wishes and sunny days!\nHad a small problem with an SMA Sunny Island grid backup inverter (6KW). After sending SMA the Smart Card data, they promptly sent out a replacement and even included return shipping! Back up and running and customer is a happy camper once again. Based on this event, I would highly recommend you look at the SMA Sunny Island if you’re planning a Grid backup or even OFF-grid system! Sorry, I forgot my camera this trip!\nI’ve been getting great results with the system I installed on our home in Newtown, Ohio. Lately it’s been pretty cool and the days are getting longer. My 20 panel system generates a maximum of 4.3 kilowatts of power and the days are now long enough to pass 30KW Hours in a single day! Sometimes when LENTICULAR clouds go over and CONCENTRATE the sun’s energy, the panels have gone as high as 4,500 watts! No matter how you slice it though, the solar is doing it’s job nicely, as you can see from the info sheet that the power comnpany sent out… it’s funny, the paragraph below the one shown says “you can STILL lower your bill farther!” I don’t think that’s possible!!

(Jesus speaking:) I do not leave My children unprotected or unguarded at any moment. I have shown you the deep things of the spirit. I have revealed to you powerful and angry ones‚ vile, treacherous, ruthless enemies of My truth. I have revealed to you the identities of evil ones who are out to hinder‚ to slow down, and to stop you altogether, to stop the establishment of My Kingdom on Earth. I have shown these things to My prophets of the End, as I have promised that I will do nothing unless I reveal it to you (Amos 3:7).\n20. Now I show you this powerful craft. This is part of the provision I make for your protection and safekeeping. What you have seen is a heavenly key craft. This is one of many. The key craft are at the disposal of those who hold the keys and who follow, who obey Me and use key power in their lives, those who endeavor to the best of their ability to live in My Word, to read, absorb and apply My Words.\n21. The craft goes before you, manned with spirit helpers and spirit beings that are on call to assist you in any way you need, particularly whenever danger is near. The chimes signal you to walk in vigilance and prayer. At the same time they give you peace, knowing that the keys are with you and are at your command.\n22. As I revealed to My prophets of old some of My heavenly spaceships, I now reveal to you this key craft transporter,one of the most remarkable and amazing heavenly transporters in existence. You’re not dreaming. This is real—it is in existence now. I pull back the veil and open your eyes and ears. As I revealed many far-out things to the prophets that have gone before‚ so I reveal these things to the children of David, so you can be encouraged and know just how near the world of the spirit is; so you can be comforted, knowing of the tremendous protection I provide for you.\n24. I prefer to call it the key craft‚ for this craft transports the might and power and energy of the keys. It is spiritual, yet more real than life itself. Instruments of man cannot detect it, yet it is real, it is in existence. It is powerful‚ and it is to assist you in these Last Days.\n25. The outer edge, the corridor you see, transports spirit helpers of all kinds‚ spirit beings and helpers sent from Me who are on call to help you. There is not one of Satan’s evil followers that is a match for these helpers who are possessed of Me.\n26. The dome of the saucer is comprised of energy rays of key power magnified beyond count that man is able to comprehend. The dome pulsates with the energy of the keys‚ as the keys dangle from the edge to the tune of My power. The keys harmonize and sing you a new song—a song of power and strength, a song of fortitude and courage, a song of solace and faith, a song of victory of the Last Days. The keys go before you.\n27. If you will listen, if you will tune in, if you will acknowledge the keys in all your ways, they will lead you. They will chime in your ear, warning you of danger spots, signaling you which direction to take, giving you checks of My Spirit. These chimes will serve as both a warning—signaling you, revealing to you the Enemy’s schemes and evil devices so that you can avoid his traps and pitfalls—and at the same time they will soothe you and give you comfort. They will uphold you as you stand in faith, knowing as you put your trust fully in Me, as you use the power I put in your hands, as you call on the keys and exert their power, you have nothing to fear—for no harm can befall the users of the keys. When you hear the key chimes, you will know you are not alone, and this will infuse you with peace as well as strength to carry out your mission.\n28. I show you a demonstration of this key craft’s power. When you call on the keys, you rev up its engines, setting it spinning, releasing in great force its energy to destroy all evil and all who oppose My Words of truth. At your call, the craft reacts. At your call, the key power ignites and spins into action quicker than the speed of thought.\n29. Believe these words, for those who believe will hear the chimes clearly in their spirits, in their hearts, in their thoughts; even audibly you will hear, when the time warrants. Believe and listen and follow the signal of the keys. I will hold back nothing from those who call on the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and tune in to their chimes. Let them be your protection. Let them guide you. Let them comfort you. Hear the chimes and be strong, knowing you are never alone.

One of the gifts I gave John for his birthday was a Marseilles Blue Wok from Le Creuset. When I bought it, the saleslady told me it had just arrived from Paris the day before – I told her that I wish I’d just arrived from Paris, too! Because John does all the Asian-inspired cooking in our house, I thought he’d really enjoy a top quality wok. This is the first dish he’s cooked in it, and it was delicious. You really can use whatever crunchy, fresh vegetables you have on hand to create a quick, delicious summer meal.\nThinly slice 2 boneless chicken breasts, across the grain.\nSprinkle with: Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder.\nHeat 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil in a wok, or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, stirring until white all the way through. Remove from wok and place in a clean bowl.\nWhen oil is hot, add Vegetables, stirring until Carrots and Celery are only slightly cruchy.\nThen stir in Corn Starch mixture stirring until sauce thickens.\nSprinkle with 1/2 cup sliced Almonds.\nI love my Le Crueset dutch oven-So. I know you husband love his new wok. The stir fry looks awesome.\nI love a good stir fry, this sounds excellent! Lovely sunset shot too :).\nI love a quick stir fry for a healthy weeknight meal, and this one looks delicious!\nWhenever I look at your blog, the first thing I think is YUM! Everything always looks wonderful – I love the adaptability of this recipe – thanks Susan!\nI didn’t know Le Crueset made a Wok. Is it carbon steel? (Never mind, I will google.) But I do have this question, was the Wok difficult to “season” to get it ready to wok, I mean, work? I have tentatively joined Wok Wednesday using Grace Young’s cookbook. Borrowed the book from the library and am using a huge frying pan for starters. I just have never done much Wok cooking and thought it would be a healthy change and way to eat more veggies. This looks like a delicious recipe which would accomplish what I am striving for.\nHi Susan, I’m finally exploring your blog and WOW this is a beautiful place you have here! Thanks for visiting at Sweet Teeth, too. Oh how I wish I could get ahold of pretty produce like you have in CA – even in summertime I struggle to find such lovely goodies you show here. I’m signed up now for your feed and look forward to reading more!

We realize you may have a few questions, like what size dumpster do I need or how much is this going to cost. Just give us a call and one of our specialists in Bowdon, Georgia will be happy to answer any questions you may have.\nIf your looking to rent a roll off container in Bowdon, don’t accept slow responding companies or late deliveries. For over 15 year’s we have delivered our dumpsters on-time, when and where our customers need them. Give us a call today to experience why we’re the #1 affordable dumpster rental company nationwide.\nThings To Consider For Renting a Dumpster in Bowdon, Georgia!\nEveryone wants to get the most cost effective deals on whatever they’re renting, and dumpsters are no exception. A lot of homeowners in Bowdon are seeking to start new renovation project, but tend not to think ahead to the vast amount of waste they’ll be producing, and the need they will have to dispose of it. Regardless of your disposal needs, there is likely going to be a dumpster selection that will work for both your budget and your project.\nDisposing of garbage yourself can rapidly become a job in and of itself. You’ll need to consider fuel costs for moving the dumpster, correct disposal locations and sometimes even permits to correctly dispose of your trash. It’s a good idea to write down a list of costs included in your project so you can make sure to budget in a dumpster rental beforehand. The cost of your removal process will be determined by the size, weight and materials your waste is made up of. Potential permit costs in Bowdon can also make a different into you budget concerns.\nAlthough dumpster sizes are not standardized, the most common options will be 10, 20, 30 or 40 cubic yards. A 20 cubic yard dumpster would be enough for an average task, such as cleaning out a garage or doing some spring cleaning. If you’re redoing a house or doing a big job like replacing concrete in Bowdon, then you’ll want to look for a 40 cubic yard dumpster. Try to overestimate your dumpster size a bit, since going over weight restrictions could result in you having to pay overage fees.\nWeight restrictions are often not considered, but are something to be considered when renting a dumpster since it can impact your costs. A dumpster may look large, yet once you begin using it you’ll find it can fill up very quickly. You may have extra space in your dumpster as well, but remember that it can still end up going over its weight capacity. Depending on the waste you’re disposing of you may want to check on any landfill charges that may come your way. Also, be careful of the weight in your dumpster and where you’re placing it, as you could easily damage your property if it becomes too heavy. It’s always a good idea to inform your dumpster rental business of what you’re going to be disposing of first.\nTo help determine the best size of the dumpster you’ll require, think about the types of objects you’re going to be putting in it. If you’re just getting rid of large items, such as furniture or appliances, then it may be more cost effective to simply contact a junk removal service. If you’re just trying to get rid of appliances in addition to some junk, the a 10 cubic yard dumpster could be just what you need. You’ll want to check with your rental business in Bowdon to see if there are objects that they prohibit before you decide to go with a dumpster option. Often times items such as ovens, refrigerators, mattresses and batteries will be prohibited.\nYou can determine your dumpster cost by checking the size, weight capacities and types of waste you’re disposing of. Most of these factors will be used by the rental company to determine cost, and they will probably offer you a free estimate. Bigger dumpsters are always more expensive than smaller ones, despite the weight you are putting in them. Bigger dumpsters put more of a cost on the rental company in the form of fuel, manpower and dumping work needed in the disposal phase.\nLocal dumpster companies in Bowdon are going to be the most ideal ones to go with if you live in that area. Local companies typically have an established dumping contract with waste management facilities, which will save you effort and paperwork. The disposal process can be easier with a company that knows the local environmental regulations. It’s a good idea to provide as many details as possible to the business you’re renting from, that way they can make sure you have the best dumpster to suit your needs.

I like the high res doom textures.\nThis is not as bloated as the original Chex Quest IWAD. Chex Quest actually has the other few Ultimate Doom levels.\nYou have to have an Admin create the sub-forum for you, and they will most likely deny you unless there's good progress.\nActually, the chex.wad in the compact zip currently available does... I don't know why though.\nIt's simple: when the developers made CQ, they forgot to delete the DooM leftovers. That's why the other DooM levels are in there.\nI actually went to E2M7 and the cyberdemon was invisible and it was hilarious.\n1. 75 and ChexMaster are correct. I'm gonna want to see some actual progress on a project before giving a subforum. Especially when newer and younger members are involved. Projects from those two groups tend to end up abandoned more often than not.\n2. The real Chex.wad does NOT have any DooM leftovers in it AFAIK. However, On the CD there was another version of Chex.wad, which was a complete Ultimate DooM IWAD with All the DooM graphics removed and the relevant Chex Quest graphics added in. According to a readme file on the CD, this was for Mac users to load into their own copy of DooM so they could play, as Chex.exe was DOS/Windows only. They left the levels in, as DooM would have thrown a fit if it didn't have all the levels present. Why they didn't replace them with dummy levels, I don't know. However, the fact remains that this was an officially licensed giveaway distribution, as far as we are aware. Since the levels are nearly impossible to play without DooM graphics, I don't think it is too much of an issue.\nThe real Chex.wad does NOT have any DooM leftovers in it AFAIK.

Maybe he's using the WAREZ scifience version where all they did was merge doomu.wad and chex.wad. WVL, did you download your chex.wad from a site called Tucows?\nThe abadonware version is inferior to the chex3 version you can find in the forum's download pages.\nThat being said, that Abandonware version does look rather fishy.\nI have the real Chex.wad and 75 does on his site, mebe someone could check?\nIt is better to get the real chex.wad instead of abadonware since they may contain viruses.
