Home Mobile Android Android’s Messages app is getting spam protection and verification for businesses
Android’s Messages app is getting spam protection and verification for businesses
“The new services are designed to help users identify spammers, fake numbers and more such fraudulent businesses”
Google is set to introduce two new features that will help users better protect themselves against spammers, malicious actors and other such threat actors. The new features are called ‘Verified SMS’ and ‘Spam Detection’, and come at a time when threat actors using SMS services to steal identification and financial data are on a steady rise.
With Verified SMS, Google will reportedly verify each and every SMS message sent by a user, on a per-message basis. These users will all be businesses, and not private accounts, at least for now. This leaves room for certain, small scale threat actors to still operate, but given Google’s typical offerings, the service will scale up soon. The number of businesses included in the service is quite limited right now, but it is expected to increase soon. Right now, Verified SMS is available in nine countries, including India, and will help users identify whether a business is genuine in nature, or not.
The second feature, which is rolling out only in the US right now, is called Spam Detection. In this, Google will use its repertoire of information, logs of data, and machine learning algorithms to detect messages that count as spam, and accordingly alert a user by placing a red exclamation mark alert beside the message. This is being done to help users avoid mass phishing efforts, hence preventing malicious URLs from spreading virally and causing a major loss of data.
With these new features, Google will hope to have made messaging a more secure process in the long run. While the initial countries will only serve as a pilot for Google’s endeavours, the feature should expand to other countries soon, should it manage to do as intended.

Constrained energy minimization and orbital stability for the NLS equation on a star graph
Adami, Riccardo; Cacciapuoti, Claudio; Finco, Domenico; Noja, Diego
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 31 (2014) no. 6, p. 1289-1310
On a star graph 𝒢, we consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with focusing nonlinearity of power type and an attractive Dirac's delta potential located at the vertex. The equation can be formally written as i∂ t Ψ(t)=-ΔΨ(t)-|Ψ(t)| 2μ Ψ(t)+αδ 0 Ψ(t), where the strength α of the vertex interaction is negative and the wave function Ψ is supposed to be continuous at the vertex. The values of the mass and energy functionals are conserved by the flow. We show that for 0<μ⩽2 the energy at fixed mass is bounded from below and that for every mass m below a critical mass m ⁎ it attains its minimum value at a certain Ψ ˆ m ∈H 1 (𝒢).Moreover, the set of minimizers has the structure ℳ={e iθ Ψ ˆ m ,θ∈ℝ}. Correspondingly, for every m<m ⁎ there exists a unique ω=ω(m) such that the standing wave Ψ ˆ ω e iωt is orbitally stable. To prove the above results we adapt the concentration-compactness method to the case of a star graph. This is nontrivial due to the lack of translational symmetry of the set supporting the dynamics, i.e. the graph. This affects in an essential way the proof and the statement of concentration-compactness lemma and its application to minimization of constrained energy. The existence of a mass threshold comes from the instability of the system in the free (or Kirchhoff's) case, that in our setting corresponds to α=0.

Helen Mirren wants to be de-aged in a film
By Bang Showbiz in Movies / TV / Theatre on 10 November 2019
Follow Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren Martin Scorsese Ian McKellen Patrick Stewart
Dame Helen Mirren admits that she finds the concept of de-ageing in cinema ''very interesting'' and would allow CGI trickery to make her younger, however, her 'The Good Liar' co-star Sir Ian McKellen is less keen on the special effect which was used in Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman'.
Dame Helen Mirren wants de-ageing technology to be used on her for a film role.
The 74-year-old actress finds the CGI technology, which has been prominently used in Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman', ''very interesting'' and she wouldn't oppose a director's wish to use it on her.
When asked whether she would want to be de-aged, she told movie website HeyUGuys: ''Of course. It's very interesting that you can make people younger digitally.''
Mirren stars in new thriller 'The Good Liar' alongside Sir Ian McKellen, but the 80-year-old thespian has reservations about the special effect, admitting he was made to look more youthful in one of the 'X Men' films and he looked ''ridiculous''.
Ian recalled: ''Patrick Stewart and I were made younger in one of the X Men movies and it looked ridiculous.''
The 'Lord of the Rings' star also pointed out that technology can't totally convince an audience that a performer is younger than they really are.
He said: ''Your face can look 30 but you still have a 70-year-old body. You still have to act young.''
'The Good Liar' marked the first time that the pair have worked together in their careers and both stressed the importance of working on movies with the right people.
Mirren said: ''We aren't method actors. We are absolutely the opposite. If you enjoy your craft and you're with someone else who does, it's fun.''
McKellen, 80, also recalled how working in ensemble casts helped him develop his skills in the early phase of his career.
He said: ''I began acting professionally in a company that did a lot of plays together, it's always about the people you work with.''

You’re late. You overslept because working at a hospital means you have to work sixteen hours at a time, and you got home at 4 a.m. last night. You were exhausted. But you’re still supposed to get your daughter to school on time by 8 a.m., so you skip getting dressed and drive her to school in your pajamas. You park and attempt to usher your daughter inside, only to be stopped by administration before you can walk into the building.
You are banned from entering your daughter’s high school because you are wearing pajamas.
Ludicrous as it may seem, this holds the potential to become a legitimate scenario in Houston Independent School District (HISD) where Madison High School Principal Outley Brown recently implemented a new dress code– not for students, but for parents. The official memo to parents stated the prohibition of pajamas, bonnets, hair rollers, leggings, torn jeans, low-cut tops and dresses, undershirts and any garments resembling thereof. Also included in the memo was a justification of the new decree, stating that “we are preparing our children for the future and it begins here.”
Since Houston ISD's Madison High School is getting national attention for this…https://t.co/bLPrBJ1GTT
A good time to talk about Madison's academic outcomes last year…
Math/science/English AP exams passed: 0
Four-year graduation rate: 72%
College enrollment rate: 40%
— Jacob Carpenter (@ChronJacob) April 24, 2019
This parental dress code epitomizes complete and total disregard for the individual circumstances families come from; along with demonstrating underlying tones of classism and racism as well, not to mention the unrealistic standards it enforces.
Pajamas are defined as “any clothes suitable to sleep in.” So how can it be determined by a single individual what qualifies as pajamas and what doesn’t? Does the dress code ban sweatpants and t-shirts as well, since many people consider these pajamas? To try and enforce the prohibition of pajamas, when the garment is so ambiguously defined in the memo, serves as the first indication that the parental dress code fails to address the purpose it asserts; for how can parents adhere to a more “professional” dress code, if it fails to define what qualifies as such? Showing up to Madison High School in sweatpants might get you escorted off school property, but you can never be certain because you are not sure whether they qualify as pajamas. The only way to be sure is to show up at Madison and hope you’re allowed to see your child.
In addition to the outrageous expectations it sets forth, the memo demonstrates utter and oblivious disregard for the eclectic nature of HISD. The issue of discrimination based on natural hair was recently illuminated by the New York City Commission on Human Rights. New state guidelines, released in February, outlined the now illegality of discriminating against an individual based on the style, color, or texture of their hair. The rules of the dress code forbid bonnets, shower caps, head scarfs, and an assortment of head coverings along with those, some of which are often used by people to maintain the natural state of their hair. The dress code is a prime example of underlying discrimination, in that the prevention of certain head coverings on school grounds restricts parents’ ability to maintain their natural hair.
In essence, blatant racism.
Medical conditions may also justify the need for a head covering, such as to cover bald spots, hide stitches, or for various other reasons that should not be required to divulge to the administration. Banning something as versatile as head coverings doesn’t allow accommodations for varying individual circumstances and is disrespectful to the needs of many.
Brown defended her decision to implement the adult dress code. “I felt a need to enact a dress code because it’s an educational environment, a place of learning,” Brown told ABC News. “And when anyone walks in, we have impressionable children and we have to model what we want them to know.”
The attire one is wearing, provided it is not wildly revealing or inappropriate, should not be able to dictate whether a parents gets to see their child. Days before the release of the memo a woman was reported to have been detained by police after she attempted to enroll her child at Madison while wearing a headscarf– subsequently refusing to leave school premises after she was asked to leave. Another mother was forced to rush to the school after her son had broken his arm and was simply handed a copy of the dress code because she was wearing a satin shower cap, never being allowed into the building due to what she was wearing. This should absolutely not play a role in whether a parent can enter into a school building. What the district should really worry about is whether parents are acting belligerent, carrying a weapon, or pose an immediate threat to students.
Since the district’s abysmal academic scores have been pointed out on Twitter, Principal Outley should consider releasing statements on the capabilities on her students rather than focusing what parents are wearing to school. Clothing has little bearing on the outcomes of her students’ test score; what does impact them is emphasis on the curriculum and analyzing what the county could be doing better.
You are not preparing your children for the future. You are unfairly relegating the people they look up to.

New Signs of Life from Central and Eastern Europe

Signs of Life from Hungary -- 89
Signs of Life from Hungary Volume XI No. 89
Monthly prayer update on the ministry of the
Protestant Institute for Mission Studies
by Anne-Marie Kool
Budapest, 7 May 2004.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Eph. 3, 20-21
In the seventeen years that I have been in Hungary, it has never before been the case that you did not receive a Signs of Life from me for five months. A lot has happened. It has been a time of personal difficulties and struggles, and also of problems with my health. Meanwhile there were the challenges of teaching - never before did I teach five new courses in one term - and the financial concerns for the Missions Institute, which are still pressing, although we were able to close the year with less of a shortfall than had originally been anticipated. Looking back, it was like a journey through the desert: I longed for water, was tired and sometimes even felt despondent.
An oasis time
And then, unexpectedly there was an oasis. At the invitation of the Reformed Church in America, at the end of March and the beginning of April, in a three weeks period, I visited more than ten Churches in seven different States, and I stayed in twelve different places. Everywhere I received a warm welcome and met with great interest for the work of the Protestant Institute for Mission Studies. What struck me is that mission is really considered a matter for the whole Church. At the Sunday worship service, I was usually asked to talk for ten to fifteen minutes about the work of the Missions Institute. People listened attentively, and in particular there was much prayer. Mission is not something for a missionary evening with a small group of missionary supporters, but rather it is for young and old, for the whole Church. I also noticed much concern for those on the fringes of the Church and the un-churched. Much is being done to take down barriers and remove the doorsteps. In most places, more than 10% of the budget is being dedicated to missionary projects.
During the trip, I also spoke at a conference for Christian businesswomen, with fellow leaders of theological institutes in Colombia, the Philippines, South Africa and China. It is impossible to express in words what it meant at the end of the conference to receive a Bible with the signatures of more than thirty people, who said they were willing to pray for me regularly. I will try to keep you update on our prayer concerns!
After three busy weeks, I came home spiritually refreshed, ready to continue the journey through the desert.
Praise God for the willingness of many people and a number of Churches to regularly pray and support the ministry of the Missions Institute?
An historical time
In the past years, I experienced many historical moments in connection with 'the changes' of 1989. The joining of the EU last week was another such moment. But for many, it was accompanied by mixed feelings:
'So many new regulations are being imposed on us "from above" in Brussels that we are loosing the unity of our Hungarian culture.” Old "mechanisms" are coming into action again, from the time when "from above" was in Moscow…
A new time
In the meantime, the PMTI programs continue. In March, we started the 'World Christian', a six-month distance learning course for Church members interested in missions and evangelism, with one teaching day a month in Budapest, under the excellent leadership of my colleague Siba-Rohn Hilda. The sixteen participants are from different Church backgrounds and represent a wide range of professions. The aim is to teach them to live their Christian life with a worldwide perspective, and to take their responsibility as Christians in the world seriously. Zoltán comes from the Hungarian speaking part of Serbia. He came to faith a year ago after a godless life in which he was a law unto himself. Now he has the desire to share his newfound faith with others, and especially to start a youth ministry in the area in which he lives. He travels all night to be able to attend the course on Saturdays, as does Ferenc, who comes from the Hungarian speaking part of Romania. Besides some elders from a Church in Budapest, there is also a surgeon, who used to be an alcoholic and who was converted four years ago. He too has a desire to be an instrument in the service of God. Without exception, they faithfully do their assignments, write papers and prepare for the practical placements this summer.
Please pray for these students, that they may be an instrument of renewal in their Churches, and especially for the scholarship fund, so that they can complete their studies. Their own contribution to the course only covers twenty percent of the actual costs. For every student, about 225 USD is still required.
Travelling Romany study seminar
Next week, students of the Masters program course are taking part in a study trip of a week throughout Hungary to visit all sorts of projects related to missions to the Romany (gypsies). In recent years, we have become increasingly aware of what an important missionary challenge the Romany form. In the whole of Eastern Europe, there are about six million of them, of whom about 600,000 to a million are in Hungary. It increasingly strikes me that the work of the Churches is very fragemented. The workers are often very lonely, have received hardly any training, and actually have nowhere they can go to share their struggles, not to mention the lack of reflection on the how and what of work among the Romany.
Please pray for growing cooperation, including internationally, and for a more compassionate, forgiving and reconciliatory attitude in the Churches. Pray that we may find the funds to pay for this trip. We trust that the Lord can supply the 2500 USD needed.
After a period of waiting for half a year for approval regarding fire regulations, three weeks ago for the first time my Hungarian home church, the Gazdagret Church was allowed to hold the regular Sunday service in the new church building. A month earlier, the situation still seemed hopeless, but suddenly there was a change. Prayers were answered. In one of the first services, we were encouraged to look to Him 'who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us'. The official opening will take place on 19th September next.
Yours in Christ, our Lord and Saviour,
Anne- Marie Kool

Lucia Johnson, a customer of the Bank, was taken by surprise as the management of the bank presented her a brand new motorbike at the bank’s Red Light branch.As part of efforts aimed at expressing appreciation to its loyal customers while engendering a good savings culture in the country, the United Bank for Africa (UBA) on Saturday, October 5, 2019, awarded one of its customers with a brand new motorbike in its savings promotion, “Save and Win.”The winner, Lucia Johnson, a customer of the Bank, was taken by surprise as the management of the bank presented her a brand new motorbike at the Bank’s Red Light branch.The event, which brought together other UBA customers, the management of the bank, as well as several business people from the Red Light Market, was supervised by the National Lottery Authority.Following the announcement of Madam Johnson as the winner by the National Lottery Authority (NLA), the legal body responsible for all raffle draws in the country, other customers grew interested in the campaign, commending the Bank for giving back to its customers and helping to encourage the culture of saving in Liberia.UBA Liberia Managing Director Olalekan Balogun, who presented the keys, explained that the promotion is meant to appreciate and encourage every Liberian to adapt to a culture of saving.He said, “One of the things that we are trying to do here today is to show appreciation and to encourage a saving culture in Liberia.“We found out that a lot of our people do not know that saving can provide benefits to people that usually save their income. So, today is one of those things that we are trying to do here and once you save with UBA you stand to benefit,” he added.According to Balogun, the Save and Win promotion is just the beginning of bigger opportunities for UBA’s customers. All you need to do is to save your money for the period, and you will stand a chance to benefit.”In response, Ms. Johnson said the reward was a surprise, adding: “I feel very good. This is unexpected.”Ms. Johnson then thanked the UBA management for the promotion and for helping to change her life.Madam Johnson has been a customer of UBA for the past two years and is running a small business. The ongoing promo, which commenced on September 1, 2019, is expected to run until January 30, 2020, where the final winner will walk away with a brand new kehkeh (tricycle).According to the Bank, every month, a lucky winner will be rewarded with one motorbike through a raffle draw and a kehkeh (tricycle) for the final draw, which totals to four motorbikes and one kehkeh (tricycle) for the entire period.The criteria to participate in the draw is for all existing and new customers to deposit or build their account balance to US$300 or L$50,000 from the beginning of the month without withdrawing until the end of the month to automatically qualify to win a motorbike through a raffle draw.And to win a kehkeh, one would need to deposit and maintain the same amount of US$300 or L$50,000 until January 2020. According to the bank, those interested in joining UBA can open a savings account in any UBA branch across the country, and start saving to stand a chance of winning.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more
Mayweather legacy faces challenge from Thai ‘dwarf giant’

0Shares0000At 5ft 2in and weighing just 105lb, Wanheng Menayothin is shorter and leaner than Floyd Mayweather but his powerful punching has earned him the nickname ‘dwarf giant’ © AFP / LILLIAN SUWANRUMPHABANGKOK, Thailand, May 1 – After a career laden with belts, cash and kudos, boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr retired undefeated over 50 fights — but his flawless record faces an unlikely challenge from an obscure Thai fighter known as the “dwarf giant”.At 5ft 2in (1.57m) and weighing just 105lb (47.6kg), minimumweight Wanheng Menayothin is shorter, leaner and significantly less wealthy than Mayweather, who briefly emerged from retirement last year to fight MMA star Conor McGregor for a $100 million purse. If Wanheng triumphs on Wednesday afternoon he will equal Mayweather’s feat of winning 50 successive fights.His WBC minimumweight belt is on the line against Panamanian challenger Leroy Estrada.The fight, to be held outside the town hall of second-tier Thai city Nakhon Ratchasima, has none of the glitz or pay-per-view pull of a Mayweather bout in Las Vegas.But still Wanheng will enter boxing lore with victory — and, at 32 years of age, has time to go one better and match the 51 wins, one draw and no losses set by Mexican flyweight Ricardo Lopez.It is not just the box office power that differentiates Mayweather from the Thai, who turned to the ring at the age of 12 as a path out of poverty.While the prelude to Mayweather fights was defined by hype and trash-talking, Wanheng has adopted a more karmic approach.“I’m not feeling pressured, you win and you lose, and that’s the nature of sports,” he said at his gym in Bangkok a few days before defending his title.But he said he had trained hard with the aim of “equalling Floyd”.Nicknames also capture the difference between the pair.– Numbers game –In addition to “Money”, the American fought under the moniker “Pretty Boy” and “The Best Ever”, tags he still rolls out on a Twitter profile boasting more than eight million followers.With Wanheng, it’s more complicated.Fighters in Thailand often compete under the label of their gym, which is where his second name Menayothin — the name of his Bangkok gym — comes from.His legal name is Chayaphon Moonsri, while his most widely used nickname is the “dwarf giant” because of his small stature and powerful punches.But the boxer also fights under the alias “Five-Star Grilled Chicken” as part of sponsorship deal with Thai food giant CP Chicken.Should Wanheng win on Wednesday his name will enter the record books, but with an asterisk of sorts.Wanheng says he has trained hard with the aim of ‘equalling Floyd’ © AFP / LILLIAN SUWANRUMPHAHe has fought mostly low-profile Asian challengers on his home turf in Thailand.His rivals have been a mixed bag — one last year had 44 losses, while another in 2014 had 24.In December he tied Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 tally with a win over Japanese contender Tatsuya Fukuhara.Mayweather, meanwhile, had a much tougher ride defeating some of the sport’s all-time greats, including Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya.The welterweight has 27 KOs to Wanheng’s 17.“With respect to Wanheng he’s never beaten anyone of note. In the west this fight will be nothing more than a trivial pursuit question,” Anson Wainwright, a boxing correspondent for The Ring magazine, told AFP, adding that matching the record would nevertheless be a “good achievement.”Carlos Costa, a boxing reporter covering the fight, said the 23-year-old Estrada also poses a unique challenge to Wanheng, 32.“He’s younger and fresher,” Costa said of Estrada. “He’s hungry for glory, and that makes a boxer always dangerous.”And the Panamanian is in no mood to help Wanheng into the history books, telling AFP “this is my opportunity to be a champion”.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) read more

Thread: from latest news letter on vulcan, hope it is of intrest to some of you if you dont get the news letter

from latest news letter on vulcan, hope it is of intrest to some of you if you dont get the news letter
Regular readers will know XH558 is due a major and expensive structural
modification at the end of the 2013 display season if we are to have the
opportunity to fly the aircraft beyond this year. Apart from the obvious
high financial cost, the work is not without some element of risk, partly
because it requires work on a critical part of XH558's structure, but also
because required tooling and jigs are no longer available, and the
manufacturing techniques specified in the drawings are no longer used!
Read our 'End of Flight' document on the challenges here
Today, we can let you know that we have held several meetings with various
parties to discuss XH558's airframe life challenges and are delighted to
announce we have contracted Cranfield Aerospace, a well-respected company at
the heart of modern design and manufacturing techniques in the aviation
world, to begin detailed measurement, analysis and planning for how we might
best tackle the strengthening of XH558's wing leading edges in accordance
with the modification's specification using current techniques.
Find out about Cranfield Aerospace here
Their impressive provenance includes supporting the Battle of Britain
Memorial Flight and in providing support services for both the UK's Army
Historic Flight and Navy Historic Flight.
Stephen Rutherford, Cranfield's technical lead on historic aircraft
commented,
"Unlocking more flying hours for XH558 is a very challenging task. It's
early days, but this is the first step in one of the most important parts of
the jigsaw. Cranfield has very specialist expertise - possibly amongst the
best available anywhere in this field - and we are thrilled to be able to
apply it to such an important aircraft."
To this end, some visitors to the hangar would have already perhaps noticed
that paint has been removed from the key area on each wing, to enable
high-tech scanning to take place. This will very accurately map out the
external structure of wing, to build up a computer generated 3D model to be
used for analysis and detailed design of the required strengthening plate
that we can put forward as a firm proposal to our engineering authority,
Marshall Aerospace.
Vulcan aircraft were hand-assembled on large frame jigs. No two aircraft
were exactly the same, so it's important when embodying the modification,
that we have all the data pertinent to XH558 correct as there will be no
second chance. Once one wing is digitised, we also have to measure the other
side, which although looking like a mirror image, we know has minor
differences in for example, the positioning of rivets.
The work that we have now commissioned is the first stage of four in
embodying the required fatigue life extension modification on XH558. The
stages a
1/ Research, planning and costing
2/ Design and approval
3/ Manufacture
4/ Installation
Very soon, we will have full costings for the work in Stage 1, and it is our
plan to ask for your support in funding this work by issuing shares for each
stage of the project. We will be updating you very soon and releasing this
share issue next week to help cover the costs.
It is essential that we begin early enough to ensure that the modification,
if it proves feasible, could be installed during the winter of 2013/4.
Cranfield Aerospace engineers will therefore be arriving at the hangar next
week to begin the measurement process and we will obviously keep you fully
updated as their work continues.
Please do remember that given the technical risks involved, we are as yet
unable to confirm that the modification is feasible, but the work we are
starting is firm evidence of our commitment to keep XH558 flying for as long

ABOUT CAVERNOUS ANGIOMA
Text Size: SMALL • LARGE
Are you curious about cavernous angioma (cavernous malformation, CCM, cavernoma) research?
15 years ago, we were in the gene discovery phase and then when the CCM genes were found, we still didn’t know what they did and why mutations in any one of them lead to onset of cavernous angioma. Now, here we are enrolling participants in two clinical trials!
The road has been long, and just as long is the list of research teams, each uniquely contributing to our knowledge and leading us ever closer toward our vision of a permanent cure for CCM.
Would you like to know where research is prospering and what projects are in process?
Below is a geographically-organized overview of the CCM research space. The list induces a diverse summary of some of the many ongoing research projects at laboratories throughout the world.
To learn more about current research results, visit Angioma Alliance Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Amy Akers' Facebook page, our Research News page, and read our newsletters.
To learn about clinical research opportunities, please visit our Participate in Research page and join our Patient Registry. By signing up for the Cavernous Angioma Registry you will be notified about future studies for which you may be eligible to participate.
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania & Virginia
Angioma Alliance - Angioma Alliance’s research program includes our CCM DNA & Tissue BioBank and Brain Vascular Malformation Consortium (BVMC). The biobank program collects biological samples (surgical tissue and blood) and medical records from CCM patients and provides these important resources to our researchers. To learn more, please visit: www.angioma.org/dna The goal of the BVMC study is to understand better the genetic factors that influence disease severity.
BioAxone BioSciences, Inc. – BioAxone is a biopharmaceutical company working to develop a kinase inhibitor drug, BA-1049, for the treatment of CCM.
Boston Children’s Hospital – Under the direction of Dr. Ed Smith, Boston Children’s was recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence in September of 2017. Boston Children’s supports an active research program led by Dr. Moses focused on vascular diseases. One project related to CCM aims to identify biomarkers in urine that can be used for clinical screening.
Columbia University – Dr. Ghabrial is a fly researcher (the first to join CCM research!). His lab focuses on tube development (like blood vessels and breathing structures) and the regulating signals. CCM3 is involved in this complex signaling network.
Duke University – The Marchuk Lab at Duke University studies the human genetics of CCM and has developed robust mouse models of the illness. These mice are valuable tools for drug studies and are critical for translating laboratory findings to human patients. This group works in collaboration with the University of Chicago to understand better the mechanism by which lesions grow and develop and has also described how lesions grow like a tumor when they first form.
Hampton University – Researchers at Hampton use zebrafish to study cardiovascular development. It was this team that discovered the CCM1 and CCM2 genes in fish. In fish, these genes are called santa and valentine.
National Institutes of Health – The Weinstein lab at NIH focuses on studying blood vessel systems using a zebrafish model. Zebrafish are an excellent tool when studying the effects of genetic mutations in the vasculature – their developing bodies are transparent, making them perfect for fluorescent microscopy.
University of Pennsylvania – The Kahn lab at UPenn is interested in the signaling (molecular) pathways that regulate blood vessel growth and function. Their work with CCM mice led to the discovery connecting the gut microbiome to lesion development.
University of Rochester – The Glading laboratory at the University of Rochester is focused on understanding how cells interact with one another and their environment, critical components to normal cell function and signaling. Dr. Glading’s work investigates how CCM1 protein functions within these processes.
Yale University - Multiple labs at Yale are studying CCM from different aspects – these include analyzing the molecular structure of the CCM proteins in the Boggon Lab, as well as using mouse models in the Min Lab to study the function of the CCM proteins in different parts of the brain and throughout the development of the blood vessel system. The Louvi Lab focuses on CCM3 biology and recently discovered that a combination therapy of two approved drugs is effective in treating mice with CCM.
Illinois, Ohio, Michigan & Minnesota
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center – Cincinnati Children’s is a recognized Angioma Alliance Clinical Center of Excellence. Under the direction of Dr. Sudhakar Vadivelu, the research program focuses on brain blood vessel development and associated signaling mechanisms.
Mayo Clinic – Under the direction of Dr. Kelly Flemming, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN earned designation as a Clinical Center of Excellence in 2017. Dr. Flemming’s research team at the Mayo Clinic is interested in understanding better the natural course of CCM disease and how lesion behavior affects patients with this illness. This group is currently studying risks associated with bleeding, seizure, and pregnancy in individuals with CCM.
University of Chicago – Our first recognized Clinical Center of Excellence was designated at the University of Chicago under the direction of Dr. Issam Awad. Dr. Awad’s team is interested in understanding the role of the immune response and inflammation as they relate to CCM lesion development and progression. His group has developed advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to examine the effects of drug treatment on mice with CCM and to measure leakage (permeability) and iron deposits (a measure of blood leak or hemorrhage) in human patients. In the fall of 2018, Dr. Awad began enrolling participants in the first-ever clinical treatment trial for cavernous angioma hemorrhage.
University of Michigan - The blood vessels of the brain are unique because they form especially tight junctions between neighboring cells to ensure that the blood they carry does not leak into the brain. This unique junction is termed the blood-brain barrier. The Andjelkovic-Zochowska lab at the University of Michigan studies how CCM3 works to maintain the blood-brain barrier.
Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas & Utah
Barrow Neurological Institute - BNI has teamed up with UNM, UCSF, and Angioma Alliance to run a genetic research project to investigate the causes of clinical variability between individuals with CCM. This project is part of the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium and is described at length, HERE. Also under the direction of Dr. Zabramski is a study to investigate the effect of propranolol treatment prior to surgery on the DNA and RNA activity within CCM lesions.
Recursion Pharmaceuticals – Recursion Pharmaceuticals, a drug company out of Salt Lake City, has developed a high-throughput screening platform that utilizes artificial intelligence for drug discovery in rare diseases. As of November 2018, Recursion has begun Phase I safety trials on their new drug REC-994 (tempol).
Texas Tech University El Paso – Dr. Zhang’s lab studies angiogenesis, the process of blood vessel development and branching. CCM lesions are defective in angiogenesis and Dr. Zhang’s team aims to understand better the role each of the CCM proteins has in the regulation of typical angiogenesis.
The University of California at San Francisco – UCSF was recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence in June of 2018. Dr. Kim leads the clinical research program focused on identifying clinical outcomes and modifiers to the natural disease progression. Her research is part of the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium and is described at length, HERE.
The University of New Mexico – UNM was recognized as an Angioma Alliance Clinical Center of Excellence in April 2017. Dr. Zafar is the medical director and runs the university research portfolio on CCM. A primary focus of his research is to identify genetic or environmental factors that modify the disease course and cause variability within and between families. This project is part of the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium and is described at length, HERE.
University of California San Diego – The Ginsberg and Lopez-Ramirez labs study vascular biology and investigating the molecules the bind blood vessel cells to one another and how these molecules are disrupted in the disease state. This work has resulted in identifying Thrombospondin1 as a possible therapeutic target for CCM.
The University of Utah - The research group at the University of Utah uses multiple systems, including mice, to investigate the molecular cause of leak from CCM lesions. This group was the first to discover that statin drugs may have a future use as a CCM treatment.
Universidade federal do Rio de Janero – Dr. Marcondes treats cavernous angioma patients, is actively involved in the Brazilian patient support organization, Cavernoma Alliance Brazil, and his research interests include studying patient-reported outcomes to determine the best course of treatment.
Centenary Institute – Dr. Zheng’s research team uses zebrafish and acute mouse models to study CCM lesion development and signaling. Dr. Gamble is head of the Vascular Biology Program at Centenary Institute. Her work with microRNAs intersects with CCM biology with possible therapeutic implications.
Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute – The Gingras research group focuses on the protein level and investigates CCM by learning about its interacting partners. By uncovering with which other molecules the CCM proteins interact, these researchers are able to better understand the CCM proteins themselves.
Sick Kids Children’s Hospital - Both zebrafish and C.elegans (worm) models for CCM are being used here to investigate how the three genetic forms of CCM are similar to and different from one another. The Derry lab uses the power of worm genetics and rapid development to study CCM1 and CCM3 and how they are involved in tube formation, cell death, and reproductive cells. Worms are also a great tool for screening potential drugs. The Scott lab uses fish models to study cardiovascular development – CCM3 is a critical signaling molecule for cranial blood vessels.
First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University – In a nationwide multi-site study, a Chinese team aims to enroll 2000 participants and track outcomes of those who receive surgical intervention compared to those who are following conservative management.
Ranger Biotechnologies – Ranger Biotechnologies is a drug company aimed at developing therapeutic products from short lengths of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA). Their products are called Blockmirs. One Blockmir, CD5-2, targets blood vessels and is under investigation for the treatment of CCM and other illnesses.
INSERM – Grenoble - This French research team focuses its research on how blood vessels interact with extracellular matrix (surrounding tissue) to provide structure as wells as signals that are essential for proper growth, development, and directionality.
INSERM – Paris – Dr. Tournier-Lasserve is a medical geneticist and research group leader in developing animal models to better understand the pathogenesis and development process of the familial forms of CCM. Most recently her animal models were used in the discovery that indirubin-3-monoxime, may be therapeutic for CCM.

Applications are invited for up to four PhD studentships (available for study on either a full time or part time basis) in the Centre for Rural Policy Research within the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter. We are looking for PhD proposals in any of the following areas or any other social science issue related to the changing role of agriculture and the countryside and relevant to the core research interests of the supervisors.
1. The debate on livestock agriculture
There are those who argue that meat and dairy consumption should be drastically cut or eliminated altogether because it is an inefficient way of feeding people, requiring disproportionate amounts of land and other inputs. This critique of dairy and livestock farming is reinforced by concerns over the health implications of meat in the human diet, the waste streams associated with meat production, and the role of methane as a greenhouse gas. Counter arguments have been put forwards suggesting that livestock production has a role because of the many grassland areas of the word are not suited to cultivation, and grazed systems may also help to lock up carbon and maintain biodiversity. Animals, it is argued, may also play a role in the consumption of crop residues and in rotational agriculture that is less dependent on artificial fertilizers.
Possible research questions:
a. Why and in what way is there disagreement about the place of meat and/or dairy products in contemporary diets?
b. What are the views of farmers on the ‘meat and/or dairy debate’?
c. How might farmers adapt their businesses in the light of concerns over meat and/or dairy?
d. To what extent might more sustainable livestock systems answer some of the concerns expressed by consumers and activists?
e. Are there differences between rural and urban consumers in their responses to the dairy/meat debate?
f. What are the implications of the dairy/meat debate to scientists working on these issues and/or to science policy?
2. The debate on productivity in UK agriculture
Poor productivity in UK farming has led to a major investment in agri-tech research and innovation in recent years. However this is not only a technological issue. There may be good business reasons why farmers have not adopted certain technologies or there may be barriers to change associated with social and policy factors. In the context of Brexit some of these policies are likely to change but the issues are deep rooted and there are some who argue that technology and production at scale are less important than a return to more locally responsive and ecologically sensitive styles of farming.
a. What are the causes of low productivity in UK agriculture?
b. To what extent are the agri-technological solutions on offer appropriate to UK agriculture?

Austin Dispatches
Last month’s ice storms put my life on ice. The mid-January freeze shut down the city, and cost me 20 billable hours.1
The operators of the new toll roads started charging on Jan. 6; rush-hour traffic was bumper to bumper, even though the roads were supposed to ease congestion.2 Then the ice storms hit and the toll roads were deserted.3 I spent my time outdoors picking and scraping inch-thick ice off my car, and my time indoors watching character actor Ray Sharkey imitate half my mannerisms on the DVDs of “Wiseguy,” a show I missed during its broadcast years.4
The H-E-B at Parmer Lane and MoPac Expressway experienced multiple leaks in the ceiling because of the weather.5 On the same visit, I found a 20 cent Dutch Euro piece. Top that, Dennis Lucey.
On the thaw of the 18th, the neighborhood trees discharged ice cubes worthy of a refrigerator icemaker.
After the thaw, I caught the flu that's going around. My condition’s improved to where my coughing is as shallow as Carl Milstead's reasoning.6 Under such circumstances, I haven’t felt like going out. Between the weather and the flu, I've been out at night only once since New Year’s Eve.
Then, I dined with some acquaintances. Unfortunately, after the meal ended around 11 p.m., I needed to crap in a clean, well-lighted place with a reliable source of toilet paper.7 Instead of carousing, I returned home. Since I also felt sleepy, I went to bed about 10 minutes before midnight. Naturally, what my co-workers imagined happened was better than reality.
Before that, I attended the Victorian Christmas street fair downtown, where I washed down a haunch of venison and spotted dick with a flagon of ale. In my post-prandial promenade past the high street shopkeepers, in my greatcoat, and ivory walking stick, I bestowed a ha’penny upon a bootblack.
“An’ a Merry Christmas to you, sir,” he uttered with gratitude, before dashing toward the nearest victualer.
Fortunately, this magnanimous bestowal made me late for the Arabic Christmas bazaar. By the time I arrived, emergency crews were hosing the viscera and shattered glass off the streets.8
The day after Christmas, I finally visited the new Ikea store in Round Rock. Much of the merchandise looked identical to that in The Container Store, only cheaper. However, I don’t know if I want to go to the trouble of transporting and assembling the furniture myself. Even Ikea’s in-store ads conceded that’s not as easy as it ought to be.9
Herb Tarlek’s Revenge
I haven’t even been able to shop much in stores, even to replace household items like clothes. When I was shopping, though, I noticed a lot of white shoes and belts for men. Is the Herb Tarlek look coming back?10
In movie news, I’m pleased to announce my family will be producing the sequel to that popular porcine character, “Babe: Pig in a Blanket.” The narrative tension results from an argument over what type of barbecue sauce to use.11
Meanwhile, the November issue of Five Magazine, a Southwestern arts magazine, reports on the increasing numbers of celebrities, living and dead, who have their names on wine bottles. For example, Bob Dylan has a wine label. That’s fitting, since his whole music career, such as it is, has been one long whine. The cabernets and chardonnays from Graceland Cellars go especially well with peanut butter-and-banana sandwiches, while the Jerry Garcia merlot requires approval from the DEA.12
In other media matters, I want to congratulate all of you for being named Time’s person of the year in its Dec. 25 edition. I always knew you were capable of great things.13 I don’t know if this happened to the rest of you, but when I picked up the issue, Time’s depiction of me in the reflective image on the cover was distorted. It reminded me of why I stopped reading Time regularly. My understanding of the world changed and Time’s coverage seemed increasingly erroneous.
Later, I received an unsolicited subscription form from Newsweek, offering a discounted price of $223. When I subscribed to Time, 15 years ago, I paid about $90 a year.
Austin Death Watch
The Nov. 28 Daily Texan ran a feature on North Austin, where I live, and quoted some expert as saying Austin is the Detroit of the information age.14 Detroit? I don’t like the comparison.15
Leslie, transvestite street bum, Austin celebrity, and frequent candidate for local public office, is now also the subject of dress-up refrigerator magnets.16
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport backed off on requiring English proficiency for its employees. I guess if you need help finding a bathroom or your luggage, you’re screwed. Welcome to Austin.17
Speaking of the airport, Councilwoman Jennifer Kim's attempt to get special treatment going through airport security has illuminated her Clintonista side that predominates these days. Ironically, Austin's ruling elite is using this to pummel her.18
County officials say parasitic infections caused the deaths of 63 birds on Congress Avenue in early January. Regular people in that part of town were happy to have them gone.19
InSite magazine reported many guest consider the Feb. 3 Carnaval Brasileiro as “a liberating practice where they are free to surrender established social and gender roles.”20 In other words, they made it sound like a grad school seminar in feminist bullshitology. No wonder I got sleepy the one year I attended.
Not all the local news is bad. Hick bloviator Molly Ivins finally died of cancer on Jan. 31, age 62. I saw Ivins once, a few years ago, in Whole Foods downtown, bossing around her black nurse like some plantation overseer. She combined latte socialist views with a yokel style that was stale back when Mark Twain used it. Ivins was no Twain. She was no Robert Anton Wilson, either, which is about the best that can be said of her.21 Ivins will be buried somewhere, as soon as the mourners can find a coffin big enough.22
I fixed the family recipe for my apartment complex’s Chili Cook-Off. Mine was one of the milder batches – one version used wasabi.23
Opal Devine’s has opened a third location at the Parmer Crossing shopping plaza.24 Across Parmer Lane, a Panda Express eatery has opened. I thought pandas were endangered. The Marquis at Walker’s Bluff apartment complex has been rechristened Chez Moi. It’s still the same vaguely Caribbean stucco apartment complex.25
A new local community paper, the North Austin Bee, began publishing in November.
On Jan. 18, KGSR-FM reported a traffic collision near Duval Road and the MoPac frontage road.
Political Leftovers
Two interesting twists from the otherwise dismal, dull, static results and implications from the establishment consensus in the 2006 elections:26 First, Reagan Democrat James Webb, winner of the U.S. Senate race in Virginia, could become the first libertarianistic Democrat at the federal level since his predecessor, Harry Flood Byrd Sr.27 On the other hand, another Democrat, Keith Ellison, is also the first Muslim elected to Congress.28 Worse, he’s from Minnesota, where all the women are veiled and there is no God but Allah.29 Try to avoid any flight he’s on, especially those nonstop to Washington.30
Presidential Pratfalls
Defeated President Gerald Ford finally died on Dec. 26 at age 93. He was the first president I remember.31 Fittingly, I learned of it while watching the first season of “Saturday Night Live” on DVD, with Chevy Chase stumbling about as Ford.32
Miss KT remembers him trying to eat a tamale with the husk still on during a visit to San Antonio.33 His clumsiness was grist for the topical comedy of the time. Ford himself wasn’t above exploiting this reputation for laughs.34 Even the failed assassination attempts against him were just so many yuks.35
He amused us well, this klutz.
Even as clown, Ford maintained a certain dignity. Unlike other White House occupants, Ford did not snort cocaine (Kennedy),36 screw molls or foreign spies (Kennedy again),37 berate underlings while sitting on the toilet (Lyndon Johnson),38 vomit on foreign leaders (Bush the Elder),39 receive a blowjob from an intern while conversing by phone with congressmen (Clinton),40 generally act like a Branson, Mo., lounge act (Clinton again),41 choke half to death on a pretzel (Bush the Lesser),42 or stumble off a stationary Segway (Bush the Lesser again).43
On the plus side, Ford refused to bail out New York City from its massive debts,44 and presided over the repeal of Franklin Roosevelt’s 1933 executive order that turned Americans into criminals for owning gold,45 and the end of the permanent state of emergency created by successive executive orders since 1933.46
On the other hand, he pardoned his criminal predecessor;47 tried to involve the United States in a post-colonial conflict among rival Marxist factions in Angola;48 approved the creation of the Federal Election Commission, which, among things, thwarts outside challenges to the establishment parties and routinely attempts to quash political speech, in defiance of repeated judicial rulings;49 and OK’d a Muslim government’s invasion, and subsequent slaughter of a Christian minority.50 (Nowadays, the latter set of achievements would just about qualify Ford for membership in the Libertarian Reform Caucus, but that's a rant for another issue.) Later, he made a cheesy appearance on “Dynasty.”51
Essentially, President Ford tried to split the difference between loyalty to “us,” the American people, and “them,” the proponents, minions and beneficiaries of the corporatist, managerial-therapeutic, warfare-welfare state that was on the defensive before, after and during his administration.52 Ford's straddle created an opening for Ronald Reagan to challenge him for the 1976 Republican nomination. Ultimately, Ford paid for his divided fealty with his job.53
Finally, I’m pleased to announce the recent births of my newest cousins, Lenna Marie and Julia Lynn.54

Statue of Aretha Franklin unveiled in Austin
By Anupika Khare | March 3, 2019
Artist Keith Brownlee standing near the statue of Aretha Franklin he created.
AV 72 Chicago welcomed Austin residents to be a part of another art installation along the Chicago Avenue corridor on Thursday, the last day of Black History Month.
A statue of Aretha Franklin was unveiled on 4922 W. Chicago; it was created by Austin artist Keith Brownlee. The event included performances by Windy Indie Violins and spoken word by B’Rael Ali.
This is Brownlee’s first project with a non-profit, and he “loved” being involved because the art installment is within his community.
“I like that the people of the community like it, and it is something for them … it’s something fun,” Brownlee said.
AV 72, a 2-year-old organization located in the Special Service Area (SSA), is working with Westside Health Authority to bring more economic development and artistic expression to Austin that represents the African-American culture.
“I wanted to create images where people from this community saw what inspired them, to recall a sense of cultural pride,” said Yemisi Dinkins, AV 72’s program director.
Dinkins said many in Austin are excited about changes the organization has brought in the last two years.
“We got a king on Chicago Avenue, and now it’s time for us to get a queen,” Quiwana Bell, chief operating officer of Westside Health Authority.
“This is historically an African-American community, and there is really no way that you can know that other than you seeing black folks walking around,” Bell said.
AV 72 Chicago and Westside Health Authority gave overviews of the initiatives they have underway to help young people launch their businesses on the same stretch of Chicago Avenue. Their programs include entrepreneurship classes, landscaping initiatives and supporting small businesses in the area.
So far, about 30 young people have participated in the entrepreneurship program.
Westside Health Authority also celebrated the newly formed Young Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, as recently reported by AustinTalks; the young entrepreneurs are launching a mobile retail cooperative in Austin.
“AV 72 is working really hard to create opportunities on Chicago Avenue to create more businesses so that there is more to create beautification in the SSA fund,” said Vanessa Creightney Stokes, creative consultant for the AV 72.
Stokes said the beautification of Austin will encourage residents to come out on the streets, which in turn will help make the West Side bustling and lively.
Essie Martin, an Austin resident who is also founder of Black Workers Matter, said she has seen a big change since AV 72 Chicago started their work in the area.
“The crime rate has tremendously gone down because they are working with young people and having events like today to help people know their neighbors more,” Martin said.
Jamaica Grill, 44, a restaurant owner in the community, said AV 72 organizes block parties and other events that bring the neighborhood together. In the last 10 years he has not seen his community like how it is today – that’s a a sign of growth, he said.
“Beautifying and putting up new businesses on these blocks will help the members of community apply for jobs and have a positive influence on the younger people,” Grill said.
Dinkins said her vision is to develop a cultural chord that would run along the Chicago Avenue, where people will see a vision of themselves.
“Everything that will happen along the Chicago Avenue in the future would be a place to honor the history of black folks. Chicago Avenue is about giving honor and respect to history of black folks,” she said.
“We are not the first, but we are shouting the loudest about who we are and our appreciation of ourselves.”

Victory RR electric superbike unveiled, will race in the 2016 TT Zero
Categories: Electric Isle of Man TT News Victory vishwa Publish Date: 1:28 AM
The new Victory RR electric superbike boasts 174bhp and 240Nm of torque, while weighing 240kg. Should pack a pretty hefty punch! We won't be surprised if it wins the TT Zero this year
Victory Motorcycles have unveiled their all-new battery-powered electric superbike, the Victory RR, which will race at the Isle of Man TT this year. The bike, developed over the past year using data gathered during the 2015 TT Zero, will be ridden by William Dunlop. 'One way we continuously push ourselves in performance is through our Victory Racing initiatives. The Isle of Man TT is one of the most challenging motorcycle races in the world, so of course we have to be there,' says Alex Hultgren, Director of Marketing for Victory Motorcycles.
The Victory RR, which weighs 240 kilos, uses a hybrid chassis comprised of steel-tube trellis-type and composite monocoque sections. The bike is powered by a water-cooled Parker GVM 3-phase AC electric motor, which produces 130kW (174bhp) and 240Nm of torque. The motor gets its juice from a Brammo Power lithium-ion battery which has a voltage rating of 370+. The Victory RR rides on 17-inch wheels shod with 120/70 (front) and 200/60 (rear) Metzeler tyres.
The Victory RR is also supposed to act as a testbed for production-spec electric bikes, which Victory hope will be a part of their line-up in the not-too-distant future. 'Our electric Empulse RR race bike placed third on the podium in the TT Zero race last year, which we were thrilled with. Using the data we gathered on our laps of the TT course has helped us to develop a new battery module as well as improving the powertrain. We feel like we can return to the TT with more performance as well as being able to test this technology for our future products,' says Brian Wismann, Victory Racing's team manager.
