When I was a member of the Tampa Chamber of Commerce I found that not many companies, large or small, felt comfortable outsourcing. I outlined how they could get experienced, professional design for a fraction of the cost of a full time designer right out of school. They were still hesitant.
The Chamber would host, what I call “Speed dating.” You get 2 minutes to pitch your company. It was fun. I started my 2 minutes with “Who here has had a bad experience with a designer or design firm?” Every hand went up. I then went on to explain that a freelancer needs to wear two hats: designer and business owner. If you are only working with half of that equation then you are not running your business as well as you should.
You may be the best designer on the planet but if you don’t communicate well with your clients, they will eventually get tired of it and move on. Here are a couple simple rules that in my experience make a big difference:
- Return emails timely (you would be amazed how much clients appreciate this)
- Keep regular business hours. I worked with a web programmer who said he did most of work at night. So when I would start my day, I would have a lot of emails with questions but he wasn’t available to talk about them. Makes no sense.
- Always be available by phone and meet deadlines. If your not going to make a deadline, let the client know beforehand.
- Keep your invoices clear and detailed and if a client has a question, don’t be offended.
Sounds really simple, right?

Recently we had the opportunity to work with a brother and sister team that are taking the local business world by storm. Rosa and Mario Piccione already run successful businesses in the west Michigan community, however they realized a niche was not being filled in East Grand Rapids.
Through their travels they noticed the growing trend of self-serve frozen yogurt shops on the east and west coast, and it dawned on them what a great business concept it would be for our community.
We were eager to assist. Through many rounds of logo designs and taglines, we finally settled on the colorful and fun logo to the left. Our team was equally as excited to develop, design and launch their website.
We encourage you to check out this locally owned and family run business – Sweet Yo’s – Treat Yourself.

This past Sunday, a man from Pickaway County, Ohio was rushed to the hospital because he had his arm ripped off by an attacking Zebra!
At around 5:30 pm, the Sheriff’s Department got a call about a serious injury at a field that was apparently fenced-in. The zebra that attacked him was actually owned by him! When they arrived at the scene, they found the man laying on the ground with his right arm covered by his shirt sleeve. They reported that the mans arm had been bitten off by his Zebra!
While the Sheriffs Department tried to help the injured man, the wild Zebra tried to attack them. It also charged one of their cruisers.
The man was rushed to the hospital where they said he will most likely not lose his arm. They believe the one Zebra was being protective of five female Zebras that were also out in the field. The Deputies used air horns to try scare the zebras away, but one continued to charge at them. They eventually had to fatally shoot the Zebra to stop it from attacking.
The man is expected to make a full recovery. We have more on this story and more in today’s Other News!

Assuming you’re searching for a club that gives you preferable chances over some other then look no farther than Betfair. Dissimilar to some other gambling club it has a Zero Parlor which has Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette and Jacks or Better and they have taken out the house edge so you win more!
Take a gander at their roulette table and you’ll see the zero has been eliminated which gives you a genuine 35:1 return when definitely on a solitary number. The chances against winning in an ordinary club are 37:1.
Go to their blackjack tables and on the off chance that you hit a characteristic fit blackjack you will get 2:1 rather than the 1.5:1 got back from different club. You could get 2:1 for making a 5-card 21!
Their baccarat tables just charge 2.75% for a financier bet rather than the standard 5% – an extraordinary saving.
The Jacks or Better video poker games have been further developed in the players favor by paying out 22% more than some other web-based club. Well that is an immense contrast and certainly worth playing. They likewise pay out a similar sum for an illustrious flush no matter what the quantity of coins you are wagering with. This is not normal for the wide range of various gambling clubs where you need to wager with the most extreme number of coins to have a possibility of raising a ruckus around town.
These distinctions might look little yet they will all add up and mean more cash in your pocket. To that end an ever increasing number of individuals are going to the Betfair gambling club to get their standard fix instead of play at some other one. Who sane could turn down better chances?

Cocktail Shaker FAQ
How Do You Use A Cocktail Shaker?
For a Boston shaker, build your cocktail in the smaller tin; then cover with the larger tin, tapping it to make sure it’s sealed. Flip the shaker so the larger cup is on bottom, and shake your cocktail for 10-15 seconds. When done, remove the smaller tin from the top and strain your drink.
How Do You Open A Cocktail Shaker?
To open a Boston shaker, hold the side where the cups seem more stuck, your pointer and middle fingers on the top cup. Then use your other palm to tap the frosted seal until the tins wiggle loose from each other. We have a detailed video to show you exactly how to do this.
How To Clean a Boston Shaker?
To clean a Boston shaker, first separate the two components. Hand-wash both pieces in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge, & rinse thoroughly. Allow it to air dry before reassembling the shaker before your next bartending session. The A Bar Above Boston shaker is also dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
Is a Boston Shaker Hard to Use?
Using a Boston shaker can be intimidating at first, but with practice, it becomes much easier. To use it properly, fit the two components together firmly, & shake vigorously for about 10 seconds. It is important to make sure you have a tight seal so that no liquid escapes during shaking.
Why Is It Called A Boston Shaker?
The Boston shaker is named for its place of origin, the city of Boston. It was invented by European bartenders who migrated to the U.S. during the 19th century & was popularized in the early 20th century during Prohibition.
What Are The Two Types of Cocktail Shakers?
There are two main types of cocktail shakers, the cobbler and Boston shakers. The cobbler shaker is a three-piece shaker that consists of a metal cup, a cap with a built-in strainer, and a lid. The Boston shaker is a two-piece shaker that consists of a larger metal mixing glass and a smaller metal shaker tin.
Why is a Boston Shaker Weighted?
A Boston Shaker is weighted on the bottom to keep ingredients in place while you mix cocktails. In addition to the weight, it also comes with a lid that fits snugly onto the ends of the two separate parts of the shaker. A weighted Boston Shaker is essential for any home bartender or aspiring mixologist.

Have you seen the video of a group of young friends taking it in turns to scream “Dwi’n dod o Rhyl” (I’m from Rhyl). The original’s viewable ‘by invitation only’ now, although you can still watch the answer films on YouTube.
BBC Radio Cymru has a fantastic series called Sesiwn UnNos – where musicians are locked in a studio overnight and are only let out in the morning when they’ve recorded an EP-worth of songs. I was thrilled to hear last night’s session – by MC Mabon, Tesni Jones, Ceri Bostock, Ed Holden and David Wrench – featured an audio sample from the original YouTube video: Dwi’n Dod o Rhyl. Track 3 on this page.

The Bible makes it clear that Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week, Sunday (Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2,9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1,19). As a result, many Christians feel strongly that the day on which we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection should not be referred to as “Easter Sunday.” Rather, something like “Resurrection Sunday” would be far more appropriate and biblical. For the Christian, it is unthinkable that we would allow the silliness of Easter eggs and the Easter bunny to be the focus of the day instead of Jesus’ resurrection. Jesus’ resurrection is most worthy of being celebrated (see 1 Corinthians 15) and not just once a year. At the same time, if we choose to celebrate Easter Sunday, we should not allow the fun and games to distract our attention from what the day should truly be all about—the fact that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and that His resurrection demonstrates that we can indeed be promised an eternal home in Heaven by receiving Jesus as our Savior.

20% of food waste in households comes from poor management or a misunderstanding of expiry dates. These are known by the acronyms DLC (Usage Limit Date), and DDM (Minimum Durability Date) which replaces DLUO (Optimal Use Limit Date) to avoid confusion with DLC.
The expiry dates affixed to the majority of perishable products are intended to protect us from the risk of food poisoning and avoid inappropriate waste. The DLC or DDM (DLUO) are information to be taken very seriously, as well as the storage conditions (dry, in a fridge, at room temperature, etc.) that the manufacturer must imperatively indicate. However, it is common for consumers to get lost in all this information which is sometimes mislabeled.
Here is everything you need to know about expiry dates in order to put an end to food waste and preserve our health.
The DLC is imperative on perishable products
The DLC, or Consumption Limit Date, applies to fragile perishable foodstuffs on sale, which in time are likely to cause food poisoning once the date has passed. The DLC is translated by the words "Use by" and "Use by", followed by the day, month and year. The shelf life is set by the regulations in terms of health checks. Once the date has passed, traders have the obligation to destroy the food in order to eliminate any danger.
Foods concerned by the DLC
Most perishable products kept cool have a BBD. These are sensitive foodstuffs, often rich in water. Among them, we find for example:
- Dairy products,
- Fresh meats, fish and seafood,
- industrial dishes,
- Cooked meats,
- fresh fruit juices,
- Fruits and vegetables in salads,
- Any previously unpacked food. Be careful, once started, a food must be consumed within 2 days, even if the DLC is further away...
Little tricks so as not to spoil the products with a DLC
We have all happened to find food products hidden at the bottom of our fridge and whose use-by date has largely been exceeded. This is sometimes explained by poor storage in the fridge or too many groceries. In order to change our bad habits, here are some tips to limit waste:
- First in, first out! It is a question of setting up a system of rotation between the foods, so that the products with close DLC are placed in front of the shelves of the fridge.
- Make a realistic shopping list with meal plans ahead of time. This will avoid buying too much food that will end up in the trash...
The DDM or DLUO on products without risk to health
The DDM, or Minimum Durability Date, is affixed to foodstuffs that are not subject to a DLC. Unlike DLC, DDM products have the advantage of not being dangerous to health once the date has passed. They can be consumed after the date mentioned. However, the quality of a food can be altered, resulting in a loss of flavor and smell, or a change in texture, presenting no risk to health. This is why we often find these products for sale on anti-food waste applications like ACT2WIN.
The DDM or DLUO results in the words "Best before" on the packaging.
Which products are affected by the DDM?
We generally find dry, dehydrated, freeze-dried and dehydrated packaged products, but also:
- dry cakes,
- aperitif products,
- Tin cans (provided they are not dented!)
- Fruit juices,
- Pasta, rice, semolina, legumes and purees,
- Frozen products…
Some products lose their specific qualities after exceeding the MDD, namely: specific diet foods for children, which lose their vitamin content, ground coffee which loses its flavor or even industrial pastries which lose their taste qualities.
Why do some foods not have DDM?
Certain foodstuffs do not need an MDD inscription given their composition or their nature, going so far as to prohibit the affixing of an MDD to these foods. This concerns vinegars, cooking salts, confectionery, chewing gums, solid sugars, wines and other derivatives that are not made from grapes and drinks with a minimum alcohol content of 10%.
Fresh fruits and vegetables that have not been peeled and cut and products from a bakery / pastry shop have neither DLC nor DDM, because they are sensitive products that must be consumed within 24 hours.
Freeze your food to limit food waste
Freezing perishable foods is a very effective way to preserve your products, provided you follow a few basic rules:
- Never freeze a food so the DLC is exceeded,
- Respect the freezing time according to the products (meats, vegetables, breads, etc.),
- Never refreeze thawed food,
- Be well informed in order to know the list of foods that cannot be frozen!

Tropical fishes benefit more from novel than familiar species interactions at their cold-range edges
Animals that extend their biogeographic ranges in response to global warming are often forced to interact with local species for limited resources. Whether these novel species interactions facilitate or inhibit range extension success in novel environments remains largely unknown. Here, we evaluate in the wild how range-extending coral reef fishes modify their behaviours (shoaling dynamics, foraging, and anti-predator) at their cold-water ranges to overcome biotic resistance by temperate species and adjust to novel species interactions resulting from climate change. We study range-extending tropical as well as their co-shoaling temperate fishes across a 2,000-km latitudinal gradient from tropical to temperate rocky reefs in a global warming hotspot. In their novel temperate ranges, tropical fishes showed increased anti-predator behaviours (increased shoal cohesion and shoal alignment, increased flight initiation distance, and increased lateralisation) and decreased bite rates compared to their native tropical and subtropical ranges. However, tropical fish in novel mixed-species shoals had higher bite rates compared to tropical-only shoals. In contrast, temperate fish behaviours and shoaling dynamics were unaffected by novel shoaling interactions across their subtropical and temperate ranges studied. Our findings reveal that tropical fish trade-off foraging efficiency for predator vigilance in their new and unfamiliar warm- and cold-temperate ranges, independent of novel shoaling interactions. However, novel mixed-species shoaling can increase the foraging efficiency of tropical fish, which may be a mechanism (phenotypic plasticity) that allows them to perform better at their novel cold-temperate range edges. Since these novel species interactions can enhance species fitness of tropical fishes, we conclude that behavioural interactions between invading and local species can accelerate successful range-extensions of some species into novel climatic environments.

The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl.
What's new in the music world this week?
It was an impressive night at the Academy Awards for both movies and music, though it's been a less than easy week for Liam Gallagher. Some brilliant videos have caught our eye and exciting tour updates from the Rolling Stones and Guns N' Roses are revealed...
The 92nd Academy Awards arrived last night (February 9th) featuring some rather outstanding live performances. Not only did we see Idina Menzel and Aurora performing Into the Unknown from Frozen 2, but Eminem also made a surprise appearance with a version of his 2002 hit Lose Yourself. Meanwhile Billie Eilish stunned audiences with a moving cover of The Beatles' Yesterday for the In Memoriam section of the night.
The Stone Roses managed it – why can’t these guys? Six bands we want to see get back together in 2017.
The trend of big bands and artists from yesteryear making a comeback and touring old albums showed no sign of slowing down in 2016. Even small-to-medium sized acts have opted to coin it in and perform classic albums to their devotees. Mortgages have to be paid somehow.
And yet, there are a surprising number of huge bands who have thusfar resisted the temptation to get back together. Here are six bands we’d love to announce a reunion in 2017.

The Keys v Stripes rivalry was reported to have plumbed new depths on Sunday night.
A stormy altercation between two of America’s premier rock musicians has raged and blown itself out in the last 24 hours. Earlier today, the Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney alleged that former White Stripes frontman Jack White tried to start a fight with him in a New York bar on Sunday night (September 13th).
In a series of Twitter posts on Monday, the Keys sticksman wrote: “I’ve never met Jack White. Until last night.” He then alleges White visited to a bar Carney often frequents with friends and “tried to fight me.” Carney says, “A 40-year-old bully tried to fight the 35-year-old nerd,” then describing White as “basically Billy Corgan’s dumb-ass Zero t-shirt in human form.”
With Motown being revived in the form of a Broadway show, we explore the vibrant music scene of Detroit.
Jack White has issued an apology following the remarks he made about a number of musicians, including Meg White and The Black Keys, during a recent interview with Rolling Stone.
Jack White, the former frontman of The White Stripes, has apologised for the seemingly insensitive comments he made in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. White is the cover of June's Rolling Stone magazine and made a series of comments in the accompanying interview in which he appeared to criticise The Black Keys, amongst others, for capitalising on the sound and music style he made so popular.
Jack White has issued an apology to numerous acts.
White's comments about The Black Keys were revealed when his ex-wife, Karen Elson, made public emails between the two which described White's opinions on the band. The revelation was as a result of their ongoing divorce case.

The eclectic record will hit stores in early summer
Jack White – former half of White Stripes and member of both Dead Weather and The Raconteurs - plans to release a new solo album called “Lazaretto” on June 10 as the follow-up to his 2012 debut solo effort, ‘Blunderbuss.’
Continue reading: New Jack White Album On The Way: Lazaretto Arriving On June 9/10
Jack White has filed a case against his estranged wife Karen Elson. Elson claimed White was unable to look after their two children and had been sending harassing emails. Following a temporary restraining order obtained by Elson two weeks ago, White has responded as he does not "want to be portrayed as something he is not, violent towards his wife or children."

White's estranged wife, former model Karen Elson, obtained a temporary restraining order against her husband on July 17. She claimed White had been harassing Elson and her attorney by sending inappropriate emails.

Jack White's estranged wife, former model Karen Elson, has obtained a restraining order against her husband. White has, allegedly, been harassing Elson by sending inappropriate and abusive emails.
Jack White's estranged wife has obtained a restraining order against the White Stripes frontman. Karen Elson, obtained the order in Tennessee, after claiming White had a violent temper. Elson was forced into taking this action after allegedly receiving irate and inappropriate emails from her husband. The couple are currently in a custody battle: Elson maintains White is unfit to care for their two children, who currently reside with her.
Jack White at 55th Annual Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center in L.A.
In legal documentation, obtained by the Nashville City Paper, Elson states that she is fearful for her own safety and that of her two children's. The excerpt read: the "wife fears for her and the children's safety as a result of this harassment," the order read, describing how White contacted his ex-wife's paralegal "in an inappropriate and aggressive manner."

The Jack White Blunderbuss gig was brought to an untimely halt last night after White left the stage 45 minutes into the set, reports Reuters.
Critically acclaimed as one of the most accomplished artists of a generation, Jack White can still attract crowds long after the band that made him famous subsided. But he angered those crowds, who lovingly gathered at the New York venue, Radio City Music Hall on Saturday night (September 29th) by walking off stage after just 45 minutes. He thanked the full capacity audience before leaving stage right. Initially, fans chanted their desire for more White guitar plucking, but what was once a playful imploration, turned quickly into anger, as the realisation that he was done spread through the crowd. "Chatter about Jack White's abbreviated show at New York's Radio City Music Hall last night has officially lasted longer than the concert itself," noted Spin.com, the music website. Security at the gig rushed to protect the stage door, as particularly angry punters set about confronting The White Stripes star. As of yet, no explanation has been given to the short-lived set.
In other 'musical icons disappoint loving fans' news, Green Day star Billie Joe Armstrong performed a similar, but more troublesome stunt on stage recently, but he was bemoaning the lack of time on stage, rather than cutting it short. And besides, Billie Joe has recently admitted himself to rehab: a reason, rather than an excuse.

What often separates the most successful ad people from others? The ability to effectively speak and communicate. We all can have great ideas and vision, but without the ability to sell them, those ideas won’t get anywhere. And public speaking is of the areas ad agencies often don’t train employees or work to nurture their abilities. Allison Shapira gives a great overview of public speaking, speechwriting, and communication techniques in Speak With Impact: How to Command the Room and Influence Others.
Shapira is a former opera singer, so she’s no stranger to an audience. But she understands how tentative some would-be speakers can be. She does a masterful job of breaking down all the elements of good speechwriting and delivery, from initial preparation to thinking through body language, the use of visual aids, and expecting the unexpected when giving a speech. And, as befits someone with an operatic background, Shapira throws in some voice control and breathing techniques as well. Other situations, like speaking on a panel with others, are also covered.
This isn’t a guide for advertising-specific occasions like campaign presentations or new business pitches — Kerry Feuerman’s book works for that. But in a TED Talk world, we’re becoming more accustomed to seeing people from all walks of life give polished, dynamic speeches. And when you can do that in any setting, there’s no telling how far that skill will take you. Speak With Impact has all the information you need to get up, stand up, and make yourself heard.
Thanks to BookSavvy PR for providing me with a review copy.

Almost two years ago (what the what?!) I posted a recipe for one of Husband and I’s favorite dishes, which we lovingly call “Meaty Fusilli“. It’s made up of a very basic meat sauce, fusilli shaped pasta, feta cheese, and lots of fresh basil. I will often add spinach to mine, but Husband isn’t down with that. More iron for me!
Something I’ve been thinking I would love to do on A Duck’s Oven is a series of very basic recipes. I’ve already gotten that ball rolling with posts like “How to Make the Most of a Whole Chicken” and “Easy Crusty Bread“. I think posts like these are so important. One of my biggest pet peeves is talking to people in customer service who use industry-specific jargon (I’m looking at you, Comcast), not because I can’t get the gist of what they’re saying (although it’s often difficult), but because they’re not thinking about who they’re talking to, and therefore sucking at their job. However, I know that I am totally guilty of this on my blog sometimes.
I try to do a good job of breaking down my instructions and not assuming anything when I write steps, but occasionally I miss something. I’d like to take my instructions one step further and explain why I’m adding each ingredient when and this ingredient instead of that ingredient. Small details like timing and this herb over that herb are really what make a dish what it’s supposed to be.
Thoughts on this? Would you find it useful? Do you know someone else who would?
For these photos… listen, I TOTALLY would have taken more process pictures. Except that it’s December in Oregon and unless I’m right up next to a window, it ain’t happenin’. As you can tell by the mass amount of “noise” in these photos, these were hard enough to obtain. Sunshine, I miss you, but don’t tell my husband or he’ll try to talk me into moving back to Cape Town for the umpteenth time.
I’m going to explain away anyways, but it’ll be a little more boring than usual thanks to lots of words and not a lot of pictures.
Obviously, the meat you choose for your meat sauce is going to have a big impact on the final result. I use one pound of pretty good quality ground beef or game provided by my dad, which I keep relatively low in fat (a 90/10 ratio is the fattiest I go), and a half pound of hot Italian sausage. My sauce is by no means traditional! I think a little pork sausage does wonders to a meat sauce and we use the hot Italian sausage because we like spicy and I usually have some on hand anyways. You can totally use regular Italian sausage!
Of course, fresh tomatoes are wonderful. But most of the year, I don’t have access to good quality fresh tomatoes <<< thanks to my mother in law, there are plenty in my freezer right now, though. What I usually use to compensate are one 15 oz can of tomato sauce, one 15 oz can of diced tomatoes, and one 6 oz can of tomato paste. Sometimes I’ll use two 15 oz cans of tomato sauce and skip the diced tomatoes, but what stays constant is the tomato paste. This really makes a sauce rich and I will add it even if I’m using fresh tomatoes. Tomato paste is important!
Other key ingredients to this masterpiece sauce include onions, garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. You really don’t need more than this. There are people that add a little bit of sugar to make the tomato flavor pop. I don’t feel like this is necessary and try to avoid adding sugar to things that don’t really need it (by that I mean, like, a cake).
As important as all the ingredients are, the timing at which you add them to your sauce and how long you cook them for are crucial, too. For my sauce, I build the ingredients little by little, which is great because it means that it’s a one-pot sauce. Yay, fewer dishes!
I start by cooking the meat. You never want to add raw ground meat to anything. It won’t cook correctly and it will just be kind of gross. So cook the meat in the skillet or pot you plan to cook the entire sauce in. I just throw the ground beef and sausage in and let them cook together.
Once the meat is completely browned, I drain off most of the fat. It’ll only make your sauce runny to leave it there. Don’t worry too much about getting rid of all the fat, a little ain’t gonna hurt anyone. Then add the onions. Letting them cook with the meat in a little bit of the fat that’s left will create the perfect texture and let them absorb the savory flavor of the meat. A few minutes into the cooking, the garlic gets added. The reason it’s not added immediately with the onions is because the onions will take a little longer to cook down than the garlic, and burnt garlic is a sad, sad thing.
This is where things get a lot easier. Add all the tomato goodness, the herbs, the spices, and let it simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes. You can definitely let it go longer to further develop the flavors depending on how much time you have. There’s actually a big debate about cooked tomato sauces vs. fresh tomato sauces. I fall on the “cook it!” side but I’m open to both. Giving the sauce time to develop over heat really brings out the best of all the flavors and let’s the sauce pick up the wonderful notes of every ingredient.
Then that’s it! Add it to hot pasta of your choice and top it with parmesan or be like Husband and I and throw on some feta cheese and fresh basil.
This is a wonderful, simple sauce. Freeze it to add to pasta later, or don’t even add it to pasta! Throw it on some veggies or just go straight for the bread if you really want to.

Get the Recipe:
Simple Meat Sauce
- 1 lb ground beef, 90/10 fat ratio
- ½ lb Italian sausage, hot if you want the heat!
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 6 oz can tomato paste
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- In a large skillet or medium sized pot, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat until completely cooked. Drain off most of the fat but leave the meat in the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to the skillet. Let cook for 3-5 minutes or until onions have started to soften.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Reduce heat to low and add all remaining ingredients to the skillet. Cover leaving a crack for steam to escape. Cook for at least 15 minutes, up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero has urged the Federal Government to shelved the propose plan of increasing electricity tariff by July 1.
He made the disclosure in a statement titled “Shelve this tariff hike”released in Abuja on Thursday, June 22.
According to him, the plan to increase electricity tariff by 40 per cent by July 1, would further compound the current hardship of ordinary Nigerians who are still battling with the increase in cost of living due to the recent removal of Fuel subsidy.
“The massive increase is explained away as a response to the over 100 per cent increase in the pump price of premium motor spirit (PMS). Details reveal a movement in inflation from 16.9 per cent to 22.41 (threatening to needle 30), and a shift in exchange rate from N441 to N750. We believe not even these figures are a justification for this proposed tariff increase.
The issue of capacity to pay and quality of service delivery are not only germane but superior to any rationalisation by market logic. Service providers inspite of sundry support have not been able to meet the threshold of 5,000 megawatts,” he said.
The NLC president argued that the proposed hike would lead to a ripple effect by other product or service providers in the country.
He said, “We would want to advise ‘Apostles of the Market’ who have called NLC all sorts of names to check their conscience. The rate at which they are going is highly combative and combustible,”
He called for more novel interventions to cushion the effect of these tariff hikes on majority of Nigerians.
“In light of this, our advice is that this proposed tariff hike should be shelved for our collective safety.”

I don't know if I am doing something wrong or not but I can not get accurate results from the TDR function on 915a or 916; just 910b. What I see is an incorrect length being reported where it is indicating around 170 feet when it should be about 220 feet as shown correctly by 910b along with the trace of the TDR indication starting before the left margin of the scale.
Does anyone else see this or know if there is some setting I am missing that might cause this? All settings in 910b, 915a and 916 are identical when this happens.
Unfortunately, the problem still exists in version 925. It seems to be roughly a constant offset of about 2 feet, so for most applications, that will get you close enough. However, as it once worked, it is disappointing that you need to do this.
Well, I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong, I just ran a quick test V910a Vs V925 and got the exact same results between the 2. 22.41' for each in TDR mode at .88 VOP and using a front jack std cal that originated in that respective version. I also tried using an old Std Cal file from V910a in V925 and again 22.41'
I did see a difference in V910a when I was scanning a junk piece of RG8 at .66 VOP, V910 showed the line Z starting way high at 0' and climbing from there 925 came up with something that looked more like a piece of coax, but also showed higher and very unstable Z. That particular line has tested as junk in the past.
I guess one more test will be to compare the superflex on my Anritsu 331 (yes, I'm testing while typing) best resolution with the Ritsu is 23' so all pretty much in agreement. I'll check again when I need to sweep some longer lines.

What is ResponderStrong?
ResponderStrong is our mental health initiative for Responder-informed crisis and clinical services as well as easily accessible educational content and tools for Responders, families, leaders, and the clinicians who work with them.
The mental, emotional, and physical impacts of Emergency Response work can compromise our ability to be there for our brothers and sisters in uniform, to be engaged with our families, and to protect our communities. Frequent exposure to critical incidents and other occupational stressors can place us all at heightened risk for:
- Anxiety and depression
- Substance misuse and addiction
- Strained social relationships and divorce
- Decreased performance through burnout, compassion fatigue, and crisis
- Stress injury and post-traumatic symptoms (sleep problems, flashbacks, heightened reactivity)
- Suicide – Responder suicide rates are almost double that of the national adult average, and far more Emergency Responders die by suicide than other line-of-duty deaths.
As All Clear’s mental health initiative, ResponderStrong has created free, easily accessible, nationally recognized educational content including: stress injury formation, stress management, suicide awareness and prevention, relationship and communication skills, and resiliency. All Clear Foundation proudly contributes to the mental, emotional, and relational wellbeing of Responders and their families through ResponderStrong.

The Russian art historian Lydia Durnovo referred to Armenian culture as the “pre-Renaissance” and noted that depictions of nude bodies were present in Armenian art much earlier than in the works of the great Italian painter Masaccio.
Durnovo also wrote about the medieval Armenian artist Roslin, saying: “It was he, a contemporary of Dante, a predecessor of Giotto in Italy and Panselinos in Byzantium, who took the first steps towards the pre-Renaissance. His progressiveness went in the direction that would later unfold in Italy as the early Renaissance.”
Durnovo’s observations shed light on the contributions of Armenian art to the development of Western art. The depiction of the human body, especially in a state of nudity, was taboo in many cultures for centuries. However, Armenian art had already broken this taboo and had been portraying nude figures in their art long before their European counterparts.
Roslin, in particular, was a pioneer in the use of perspective in art. His works showed a deep understanding of the principles of proportion and perspective, which would later become the foundation of Renaissance art. His use of light and shadow was also revolutionary, and his paintings had a three-dimensional quality that was not seen before in the art of his time.
Overall, Durnovo’s observations highlight the rich artistic heritage of Armenia, and the significant impact it had on the development of Western art. The pre-Renaissance movement in Armenian art, as exemplified by Roslin, paved the way for the revolutionary changes that would soon take place in European art, and helped to lay the foundation for the Renaissance.

I received the following email from Ana:
“I have a beautiful chihuahua Minnie a girl who is 5 months old she’s great affectionate playful always give you lots of kisses when you get home. There is one thing about her that no one likes. She growls at you at me my husband and the kid. What can I do for that to stop? or is this part of her personality?
Please advise, very concerned.”
Thanks for bringing up this important question.
I am a relatively friendly Chihuahua. I love meeting people. But some things do make me growl. Such as when my daddy puts on my harness to go for a walk. I just don’t want to be disturbed. Or when I see a cat or squirrel.
It’s our way of showing disapproval for whatever it is you’re doing to annoy us. We haven’t learned how to roll our eyes as yet.
It’s possible your Chihuahua might have decided that he or she is the pack leader and should be obeyed. This is probably not a good thing and should be dealt with a little patient re-training in between treats.
Sometimes the growling is an end in itself. But in some dogs it could be followed by biting. All forms of aggression should be promptly dealt with, gently yet firmly and not with aggression. My daddy does not hit nor should anyone hit their dogs, especially a little Chihuahua.
But a firm “NO” should make the Chi know they’ve done something wrong. Then ignore them for a while. If you give too much attention to negative behavior you are actually rewarding the dog. We all love attention, no matter we have to do to get it.
If you’re having a problem with your dog’s aggressive behavior, you may consider seeing an animal behaviorist. It might be worth the expense.
For more information:

Reasons Why Dogs Growl
Definitely she is the pack leader!
Maybe sometimes. But not always.
My chihuahua is 6 months and has not been socialised yet. We only got him 4 days ago and he seems to adore me (female) but has growled twice at my boyfriend. We know his first home was all female. Yesterday my boyfriends family came round to see him as we want to get him as socialised with people as we can before he gets his last jabs in 2 weeks and we can take him out. He growled at first when they came into the garden but then he stopped when we firmly said no. We left biscuits at their feet and he timidly approached them and was eventually playing and running around the garden. I’m worried that as he has missed the key stage of socialisation that once we take him out on walks, he won’t get along with other dogs. I’m also worried about how he is with my boyfriend and we live together and there will be times when it might just be them together for a weekend if I’m away with work. Will this be easy to stop or is it too far gone now that he hasn’t been socialised early enough?
I had my previous Chihuahua for about 6 years before I became involved in a relationship and she did not like most people or dogs. But she eventually became used to my future spouse and they got along fine. It takes time, patience, and training. Lucy was socialized early with lots of friends and neighbors and for the most part, she likes all people, but on the whole, she does not like most dogs. She is now 11 and will probably never change. Oh well, at this point I accept her for the lovable but sometimes grumpy girl that she is.

On common, 5.5k of you ask Google for recommendation on ‘What number of steps a day to shed pounds?’ each month, so we’re right here to clear up the confusion. Whether or not you are not satisfied 10,000 steps is working for you (or perhaps simply not attainable to clock up), WH has the skilled intel on what number of steps a day are *truly* wanted with regards to strolling for weight reduction, how one can make your stroll extra of a exercise, what number of energy you will burn with 10,000 steps, and extra.
7 advantages of accelerating what number of steps you do a day
- It is a free method to train
- May be carried out wherever
- Would not require any specialist tools
- Improves cardiovascular health and coronary heart well being
- Helps psychological well being
- Reduces the danger of sure diseases
Science backs up the claims, too. A research by the UK authorities revealed that strolling can scale back your threat of creating diseases comparable to sort 2 diabetes, heart problems, dementia and a few cancers and that one brisk 10-minute stroll per day can decrease your threat of early loss of life by 15%.
What are the typical steps per day within the UK?
In keeping with a research investigating Brits’ step rely, it has been discovered 58% of Brits are attempting to achieve the aim of strolling 10,000 steps a day, with 38% of Brits selecting to observe their every day step. Nonetheless, over half of Brits estimate their very own common every day step rely sits at simply 5,836 steps – somewhat over half of what they need to be doing for optimum health.
That is fairly far off from the golden 10,000. However is the magic quantity actually all that? Because it seems, the ten,000 steps aim is just not significantly scientific. Intrigued? Learn on.
What number of steps a day: the ten,000 step ‘fantasy’
What most individuals do not know is that this quantity happened when a Japanese educational invented an early pedometer in 1964 and deduced that, if residents went from a median of 4,000 steps a day to 10,000, then they’d stand to burn within the area of an additional 500 energy. The rise in every day exercise would, in flip, be mirrored within the quantity of power burnt.
However, and this is the place it will get sketchy, this might be true for any quantity that will increase. So, positively do not get hung up should you do not attain 10,000 in your health tracker. The truth is, the NHS states that only a brisk 10-minute stroll may enhance your well being.
What number of km is 10,000 steps a day?
First issues first, know that relying on how lengthy your stride is (e.g. how huge the steps you take are), the variety of kilometres you stroll doing 10,000 steps will fluctuate.
That mentioned, there are some common numbers we will play off of. The typical grownup stride size is between 0.6 and 0.8 metres lengthy. A tough estimate places 10,000 steps as being between 7.6 and eight kilometres of strolling.
What number of miles is 10,000 steps a day?
Per the typical grownup stride size above (and a few fast maths – er, what number of km in a mile once more?) 10,000 steps is between 4.7 and 4.9 miles.
Take out the guesswork and learn the way many km 10,000 steps is for you with a health tracker.
OK, however how lengthy does it take to stroll 10,000 steps?
Once more, how lengthy it takes you to stroll 10,000 steps will rely in your health ranges and the way massive your stride is. That being mentioned, on common, it takes round 1 hour 45 minutes to do 10,000 steps.
For the way lengthy it takes to stroll a mile, we have you lined there, too.
10,000 steps energy: what number of cal does 10k steps burn?
The lengthy and the brief reply is: that relies upon. Sadly, there is no direct ‘X steps = Y energy’ equation.
Why? There are a good few variables to contemplate right here, explains Monique Eastwood, Eastwood Motion Methodology creator (and Emily Blunt’s private coach, FYI), comparable to:
- How far you stroll (as talked about above, this varies from person-to-person
- How briskly you stroll and the trouble you place in
- The kind of terrain you’re strolling on
- How a lot muscle you could have
- The way you weigh (these carrying extra body weight will burn extra energy as the trouble of strolling will likely be extra strenuous)
On these final two: ‘Muscle tissues burn extra energy than fats, and people carrying extra physique fats may also burn extra energy as the trouble of strolling will likely be extra strenuous,’ Eastwood explains.
‘As a common rule, you’ll burn energy by simply strolling 10,000 steps – however what number of you burn actually does rely on what sort of steps you take. As a substitute, simply deal with difficult your self and going for an extended as attainable.’
If you would like some pretty correct numbers to make use of as a benchmark, a health watch if you wish to get extra of an thought.
What number of steps a day: what’s advisable?

The Schynige Platte Alpine Garden is a very special botanical garden. As the first in the Alps and one of very few, it shows plants in their natural plant communities, and as far as possible all plants that occur in Switzerland above the timberline.
Here you can enjoy around 800 species, i.e. about two thirds of the Swiss alpine flora, in the course of the summer on comfortable paths and tracks (about 1000 metres with a difference in altitude of about 40 metres) in a very small area, without having to climb many peaks. You can look at the alpine plants in peace, take pictures and get to know them by means of the labels.
For the Alpine garden, a good 8000 square metres of alpine pasture was fenced in 1928, thus removing it from centuries of cultivation. The varied small topography in different exposures leads to a great diversity of ecological conditions and thus of plant communities. The largest proportions of the area are taken up by the blue sesleria scree, the rusty sedge scree and the milkwort pasture; they are also the most common in the surrounding area. These have been enriched in small plantings by species that grow elsewhere in Switzerland in these plant communities.
The entrance to the Alpine Garden is located right next to the mountain station of the Schynige Platte Railway. The walk through the garden takes about 30 minutes to 4 hours (main path 420 metres, with side paths about 1000 metres), depending on the interest of the visitor. Guided tours are also available on request.

Things to Know About Reduced-Calorie Sweeteners in Chocolate
Chocolate is more than a tasty treat. Some forms are beneficial to your health. This is why purchasing sugar-free dark chocolate made with alternative sweeteners is a smart way to treat yourself. Here are a few reasons why this is true:
It Is a Great Option for People with Diabetes
There was a time when any type of sweet was off-limits for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. This is no longer the case as chocolates with reduced-calorie sweeteners can be eaten in moderation without affecting your blood sugar.
It Is Natural and Plant-Based
When the natural-based Maltitol sweetener is used, it increases the chocolate's health benefits. Plus, the plant-based product offers 90% of the sweetness of regular sugar. Thus, the difference in taste between chocolate with sugar and chocolate with Maltitol is barely noticeable.
It Has Additional Benefits for Your Body
Generally, Maltitol and other natural, reduced-calorie sweeteners minimize the risk of tooth decay. Plus, their effects on glucose levels are negligible. When added to the antioxidant properties of dark chocolate, these alternative sweeteners provide extended health benefits.
It Minimizes Your Scarcity Mindset
When you decide to get healthier, you may develop a scarcity mindset. In other words, you eliminate everything you previously ate, which makes you feel like you're missing something. With reduced-calorie sweeteners like Maltitol, you can feel better about treating yourself to chocolate.
There are several benefits of utilizing reduced-calorie sweeteners in chocolates. At Amber Lyn Chocolates, you can enjoy the delicious taste of no-sugar-added milk chocolate and sugar-free dark chocolate.

for a week in France..
Oh and also..
After 9 years of being a stay at home mum, come September, I'll be a working mum and a Bilingual Teaching Assistant - and life will become a lot more hectic!
It's a totally new start for me, it's scary but also very exciting, I'm so happy to be doing something that I love and feel very lucky that I'll still be able to drop off and pick up the boys most days (and spend the school holidays with them!), but I'm wondering if I will get on with my new colleagues and if I'll do a good job and how I will juggle everything, and I'm not sure what my new routine will look like and when will I ever manage to have a cuppa with my friends, go to the doctor, go shopping, etc.. and will I have enough energy and patience for my boys when I pick them up?? And will I ever have a moment to myself ever again?? That's what's going through my head at the moment..
Hence the weekly planner and notebook I'm taking with me on holiday.. I feel like I need to plan the next few weeks to make the most of the time I have left on my own (and get stuff done!) and with Y before he starts big school. Once I've written and planned stuff, I'm sure I'll feel better!!
Happy half-term to my British readers!
Tea and lemon drizzle cake in the sun at the V&A..
Alexander McQueen - Savage Beauty - a must-see!
Sunshine and daisies..
Immigration stories - Adopting Britain at the Southbank Centre and Samba at the cinema..
Making a timeline for a little boy who's always asking when his birthday is and loves to know which friend he's going to next!
After Grimm tales, another amazing immersive experience at Alice's Adventures Underground.. (Remember my adventure book? That was May's adventure..)
Blowing dandelions on the way to (whole day!) school..
I loved that papier mache balloon display in Anthropologie..

By Carla O’Connor
Color is an aspect of painting that one could explore for a lifetime. I love color, too, but my main concern regarding color is balance and its place in my design. To me, it’s a second string player. I use color and its considerable impact to re-enforce my message by setting the mood or expressing emotion.
I believe that color is made more beautiful by what is next to it — lovely warm and cool grays.
The biggest struggle I see facing students in regard to color, at least those who love color above all else, is that they want every color on their palette in one painting. The result is that each one of those colors cries out for all the attention. It is very difficult to convince a student to be selective and use some gray hues to surround and enhance the color even more. Remember, the most important design principle is dominance.

Two reasons why I’m sure you will never run out of ideas:
Do you know who Flannery O’Connor is? She wrote a classic called A Good Man Is Hard To Find and after I read that, she had my lifelong love and respect. Flannery O’Connor is known for saying,
“Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
Reason #1: The first seven years of your life
Whether you consider your childhood disturbingly troubled or happily boring, there’s more than enough there to provide you with material for the rest of your life.
If you don’t believe me, let’s have a chat (scroll down for my email address) because I have unique ways of helping you evoke what you’ve got inside.
If you do believe me, good! Make sure you paste Ms. O’Connor’s quote on your writing tablet for the days you’re suffering from writer’s block.
“What we describe as our ‘character’ is based on the memory-traces of our impressions; and, moreover, the impressions which have had the greatest effect on us — those of our earliest youth — are precisely the ones which scarcely ever become conscious.” ~Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams
Psychology tells us that your character is formed within the first seven years.In those formative years, you absorbed impressions through all your sensory organs, as well as cultural conditioning from your family. You can abandon your subconscious but your subconscious will never abandon you. It is always there, waiting to be mined.
It is your job, as a writer, to plumb the depths of your own subconscious in order to find your voice (non-fiction) or your characters’ voices (fiction). Your subconscious is a gold mine of writing material — you will never run out of memories, sense impressions, and your unique perspective.
People in the exact same situations you were in all have their own vantage point. Yours cannot be copied or duplicated. It is yours. But you must discover it, bring it to the surface, and articulate it in your signature language.
(A side benefit, by the way, is that in addition to facing your flaws and vulnerabilities and using them creatively, you will discover opportunities to pick up where you left off and consciously begin to build character. You can never have too much character.)
Reason #2: Everything is material.
To be a writer is to be cursed with a passion to reveal secrets. Another way of putting it is that writers are truth-speakers. That is why fiction always contains some autobiographical material. And non-fiction always has some embellishment and embroidery. Try both genres and test it for yourself.
But I digress.
Back to secrets. By their very definition, secrets are supposed to be left unsaid. But if a writer is to freely express herself, she will have to break loyalty oaths and betrayal bonds (a fascinating psychological dilemma that I will write about another time). Using an alias is one way to negotiate this territory.
If you choose to stick with your real name, perhaps Nora Ephron can inspire you. She learned from her mother, playwright and screenwriter Phoebe Ephron, that “everything is copy.” That meant that everything that happens, be it to you or someone else, no matter how emotionally devastating or humiliating, is grist for the mill. You process the event by writing about it.
Read Ms. Ephron’s innovative novel, Heartburn, to learn from the master.
You will never run out of ideas because
(1) the memories from the first seven years of your life contain more material than you can ever use up, and
(2) everything is material. You just have to be brave enough to excavate this material from your subconscious. Then you need to use it in a way that meets your personal code of ethics.
Figuring out how to do this both requires character and builds character.

Science fiction writer Frederik Pohl said that a good science-fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam. This sentiment shapes the new decade, as we manage both the positive and the negative network externalities of our organizations, technologies, and behaviors, from climate crisis to sustainability standards to ethical, legal, and human benefits and fallouts of the new economic models.
Applied to marketing and brand strategy, the “traffic jam” approach means a shift from the short-term focus towards taking into account longer-term social, cultural, psychological, economic and political dimensions of our brand and marketing actions. For example, a successful strategy addresses collective versus individual dimensions of consumer behavior and asks what taste communities do their brand messages and actions target, and how. It considers different models of social influence, often working simultaneously. It addresses contradictions in modern culture and in consumer behavior. It designs for inversions of existing cultural trends. It also shields our planet and appeals to the better angels of our nature. It distinguishes between mood (emerging) and trends (already happening) and debunks the cult of innovation and newness in place of something more sustainable and worth maintaining.
Problems are inevitable, but problems are solvable, and solutions create new problems that can be solved in their turn, noted physicist David Deutsch. Here’s to dealing with traffic jams of the next ten years.
“Repeat This” Culture. Mimicry is the mechanism of cultural and commercial production and distribution. Trends and ideas spread top-down in the past, through gatekeepers like editors or programming directors. Now they spread laterally, through imitation. This dynamic is perfectly captured in TikTok, where short videos become memes become trends, on repeat. Instagram Face, Airspace, streambaits and clickbaits, and infinite reboots and sequels are also the examples, shaped by combination of algorithmic personalization and social feedback loops. Things become popular because a lot of people like them, and then get copied, reproduced, and memeified. Just like with crickets or…

This beautiful 1984 Jaguar XJ-S V12 HE caught my attention as I was driving back from lunch break a few days ago. It was parked at O’Brien’s repair shop on Vine St. The customer purchased it non-running and gave it to the shop to fix. Unfortunately for the car’s new owner, this car had been sitting for ten years! The fuel is gunked up and there is gas in the oil. It’s not the best situation, but it still looks good after all these years. I hope it gets back on the road soon. It’s a shame that many of the Jags were destroyed during the Cash for Clunkers travesty. I get the idea that cars should get better gas mileage, but is it worth destroying a work of art to make that point? Not in my opinion.

Owning dogs, in particular taking care of the miniature shar pei, is nothing new for people across the globe. Some zoologists postulate that dogs were first domesticated sometime between 12,000 and twenty five thousand years ago—and that canines evolved from the wolf. Since then, people have selectively bred more than four hundred different breeds, which range in size from four-pound teacup poodles to Irish wolfhounds, who have earned the distinction of tallest pooch. But the most widespread pooches are the non-pedigree dogs—the one-of-a-kind dogs known as mutts. The miniature shar pei is another favorite pick with canine owners. Some owners are unaware, however, of many of the most critical miniature shar pei care tips.
Typical cost of care for the miniature shar pei
The annual cost of rearing your miniature shar pei—which includes nutrition, to vet bills, toys and license—can range between four hundred twenty and seven hundred eighty dollars. This is not even including capital expenses for sterilization surgery, a collar and leash, a dog carrier and dog crate. Note: Be sure you have all the required supplies before you get your miniature shar pei home.
General miniature shar pei Care
miniature shar pei Feeding Schedule
- miniature shar pei puppies between 8 and 12 weeks old need four meals in a day.
- miniature shar pei puppies 3 to 6 months old should be fed three meals a day.
- Feed puppies 6 months old to 1 year old 2 bowls of food in a 24 hour period.
- When the miniature shar pei hits his or her 1st birthday, one bowl a day is usually all that’s necessary.
- Sometimes adult miniature shar peis, however, prefer 2 smaller bowls. It’s your responsibility to learn your miniature shar pei’s eating habits.
High-quality dry dogfood ensures a balanced diet to adult miniature shar peis and can mix with water, canned food, or broth. Your miniature shar pei may also enjoy fruits and vegetables, cottage cheese, and cooked eggs, but these foods should be less than ten percent of his daily allowance. miniature shar pei pups must be given excellent-quality, brand-name puppy food. Try to limit “people food”, however, since it can result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies, bone and teeth issues, and might cause extremely picky eating habits and obesity. Give clean, fresh water exclusively, and make sure to wash food and water bowls frequently.
miniature shar pei Care Tips: Your miniature shar pei needs exercise daily
miniature shar peis need some physical activity to stay healthy, recharge their brains, and maintain their health. Physical activity also really helps miniature shar peis fight boredom, which has the potential to lead to naughty behavior. Going outside would quench most of your miniature shar pei’s desires to herd, dig, chase, retrieve and chew. Activity needs will depend on your miniature shar pei’s level of health and her age—but 10 minutes in the backyard and just a walk around the block every day probably won’t cut it. If your miniature shar pei is a six to 18 month adolescent, her requirements will be relatively more.
miniature shar pei Grooming Tips
You can help reduce shedding and keep your miniature shar pei clean with regular brushing. Check for fleas and ticks daily during the summer or other warm weather. Many miniature shar peis don’t need a bath more than a few times during the year. Prior to the bath, cut out or comb all mats from the miniature shar pei’s hair. Carefully rinse all soap out of the coat, or dirt will stick to the soap residue.
miniature shar pei Handling
Pups, as opposed to adults, are obviously easier to handle. To carry the miniature shar pei puppy, put one of your hands beneath the dog’s chest, either with the forearm or other hand supporting the back legs and rump. Never attempt to lift or grab your puppy by his or her forelegs, tail or nape. If you need to lift a bigger, adult miniature shar pei, lift from the underside, holding his or her chest with 1 arm and rear end with your other.
miniature shar pei housing
miniature shar peis need a warm quiet place to relax away from all breezes and off the floor or ground. You might want to think about buying a dog bed, or make one out of a wood box. Put a clean sheet, blanket, comforter, or pillow inside the bed. Wash your miniature shar pei’s bed covering frequently. If your miniature shar pei will be spending a lot of time outdoors, make sure he has plenty of cool water and shade in hot weather, and a covered, dry, warm area in the cold.
miniature shar pei Licensing
There are licensing rules to heed in your area. You should attach the license to the miniature shar pei’s collar. The license, along with an ID tattoo or tag, could help secure your miniature shar pei’s return should she go missing.
Info on miniature shar pei Behavior
Thoughts on miniature shar pei Training
Well-mannered, companion miniature shar peis are truly a joy to raise. But when left untrained, your dog could be a pain. Teaching your miniature shar pei the fundamentals—”Stay”, “Come”, “Down”, “Heel”, “Off”, “Sit”, and “Leave it”—will bolster your relationship both with your pooch as well as your relatives. If you’re the owner of a pup, start teaching her the appropriate responses as soon as humanly possible! Doggie treats should be used as a lure and a reward. Puppies should begin obedience classes when they are sufficiently immunized. Contact your local humane society or SPCA for details on obedience course recommendations. Always walk your miniature shar pei leashed while in public, even as a pup. Just be certain your miniature shar pei will come to you whenever you say the word. An aggressive or disobedient miniature shar pei can’t play with other people.
miniature shar pei Health
Your miniature shar pei should visit the vet for a full exam, shots and heartworm examination each and every year, and immediately if she is hurt or sick.
Knowing Your miniature shar pei’s Dental Health
Although we may object to our miniature shar pei’s bad breath, it’s important to be aware of what it may represent. Halitosis is most commonly a symptom which means that your miniature shar pei requires a dental screening. Dental plaque caused by unhealthy bacteria creates a terrible odor that can only be eliminated by professional treatment. Once you have given your miniature shar pei a professional oral cleaning, her mouth can be kept healthy by eliminating table food, feeding a special diet focused on maintaining dental health, and brushing regularly. Your veterinarian can supply you with other data on minimizing periodontal problems as well as halitosis. You can use a baking soda and water paste or a dog toothpaste once or twice per week to brush your miniature shar pei’s teeth. You can clean them with a nylon pantyhose stretched across the finger, a sterile gauze pad, or a child’s soft toothbrush. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, often affects miniature shar peis. Sometimes, tooth loss happens due to gum disease. Infections can sometimes also spread to the rest of your miniature shar pei’s body. Veterinarians will clean the teeth at a routine checkup.
miniature shar pei Bad Breath
Even though bad breath caused by dental disease might not be serious if detected early enough, some halitosis may also be indicative of serious, persistent issues. A pleasant, even sweet smell can be indicative of diabetes, while intestinal or liver diseases may cause foul breath. Kidney disease is a possible cause if your miniature shar pei’s breath smells like ammonia or urine. Set an appointment with a veterinarian whenever your miniature shar pei has halitosis along with other signs of disease like excessive urinating or drinking, depression or lethargy, weight loss, nausea, or decreased appetite.
Fleas and Ticks in miniature shar peis
Daily, regular checks of your miniature shar pei for fleas and ticks during the warm seasons are vital. You can remove and find fleas using a flea comb. There are numerous new procedures of flea elimination. Consult your vet about his or her options.
Heartworm problems in miniature shar peis
The heartworm is a parasite that resides in the heart and is passed from an infested dog to your miniature shar pei by way of mosquitoes. Several miniature shar peis die each year due to heartworm infestations. Your miniature shar pei should have a heartworm screen every spring—this is required for detecting infestations from the prior year. It is recommended that you give your miniature shar pei a once-a-month tablet throughout the warm, wet time of the year to help you protect him from heartworms. Should you ever vacation south with your miniature shar pei in the winter, he ought to be on the preventive medicine during the trip. There are some areas, usually the regions with more moderate climates, where veterinarians advise heartworm pills be given continually.
Medicines and Toxins
Please don’t give your miniature shar pei medication that has not been prescribed by his veterinarian. For example, did you know that 1 ibuprofen tablet causes stomach ulcers in miniature shar peis? Make sure your miniature shar pei is never exposed to rat poison and other rodenticides. Be sure you call your miniature shar pei’s vet if you have reason to suspect your miniature shar pei has eaten poison. You should also contact the ASPCA Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 for twenty-four hr. help.
miniature shar pei Sterilization Operations
Male miniature shar peis should be neutered – the extraction of the testes – and females spayed – the extraction of the ovaries and uterus – by six months of age. You will usually greatly reduce your female miniature shar pei’s chance of breast cancer by spaying before maturity. The risk of a sick uterus, which is also a serious affliction that affects older females, can be removed by spaying before 6 months. Neutering males eliminates the risk of testicular and prostate diseases, some hernias and certain types of aggression.
miniature shar pei Vaccinations
- The combo vaccine (also known as the “5-in-1 shot”) ought to be given to your miniature shar pei at two, three, and 4 months old and again once every year. This innoculation protects your puppy from hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and distemper. Your miniature shar pei puppy’s immunization program cannot be finished prior to four months old.
- If your miniature shar pei has not been immunized and is older than 4 months, she will need 2 innoculations asap, two to 3 weeks apart. After that you must innoculate annualy.
- Your miniature shar pei puppy’s vaccinations should coincide with his socialization program. You may bring your miniature shar pei pup to socialization courses as early as 8 or 9 weeks of age, according to most doctors. At this point, they should have received at least their first vaccinations.
Statutes are so different between different areas, that it’s best to contact your local vet for rabies immunization information. For instance, NYC regulations declare that pets older than three months must be immunized for rabies. After the initial immunization, you must have a second innoculation the next year, and then every three years. There are many innoculations that may or may not be appropriate for your miniature shar pei. Ask your miniature shar pei’s vet for her opinion. Take note, if your miniature shar pei happens to get ill because he is not innoculated, the vaccination needs to be taken after your pet is better.
Intestinal Parasites in miniature shar peis
miniature shar peis are commonly exposed to worms—even in urban areas. Eggs that carry roundworms are transmitted through a dog’s feces. Most pups, from all environments, even those with healthy mothers, carry intestinal worms. The key to effective treatment is correct diagnosis. This will maximize the possibility that the treatment is successful against the parasite your dog has. A dewormer that eliminates hookworms, for example, can’t kill tapeworms. Your doctor can best figure out the culprit—and assign the right medicine.
miniature shar pei: Miscellaneous Care Tips
Checklist of miniature shar pei Supplies
- Top-quality dog food and treats designed for miniature shar peis and similarly-sized dogs

Raising dogs, in particular providing care for the styrian coarse-haired hound, is a specialty of humans across the world. Some zoologists speculate that dogs were domesticated between twelve thousand and twenty five thousand years ago—and that canines evolved from the wolf. Since then, people have selectively bred more than 400 breeds, which range in size from four-pound teacup poodles to Irish wolfhounds, who have earned the title of the tallest pooch. However, the most widespread dogs are the non-pedigree dogs—the one-of-a-kind dogs known as mutts. The styrian coarse-haired hound is also a popular choice among dog owners. Some owners are uninformed, however, of many important styrian coarse-haired hound care tips.
Health care cost of your styrian coarse-haired hound
The yearly budget for rearing the styrian coarse-haired hound—to include food and treats, veterinary care, toys and license—could vary between four hundred twenty and $780. This doesn’t even count capital costs for sterilization operations, collar and leash, carrier and a crate. Note: Be positive you have obtained all of the necessary supplies before you bring your styrian coarse-haired hound home.
Basic styrian coarse-haired hound Care
Feeding your styrian coarse-haired hound
- styrian coarse-haired hound pups between 8 and 12 weeks need four bowls of food in a day.
- Feed styrian coarse-haired hound pups 3 to 6 months old 3 meals every twenty-four hour period.
- Feed puppies 6 months old to 1 year 2 bowls of food every twenty-four hours.
- When your styrian coarse-haired hound makes her first birthday, 1 feeding every twenty-four hours is all that’s required.
- Sometimes styrian coarse-haired hounds might do better with 2 smaller meals. It is your responsibility to learn your styrian coarse-haired hound’s eating schedule.
High-quality dry food provides a balanced diet to full-grown styrian coarse-haired hounds and may be mixed with broth, water, or canned food. Your styrian coarse-haired hound may love fruits and vegetables, cooked eggs, and cottage cheese, but these shouldn’t add up to more than 10 percent of her daily allowance. styrian coarse-haired hound puppies should probably be fed a high-quality, brand-name puppy food. Please try to limit “people food”, though, since it can cause vitamin and mineral imbalances, tooth and bone problems, and might result in some extremely picky food choices and obesity. Clean, potable water should be available at all times, and make sure to wash water and food bowls frequently.
styrian coarse-haired hound Care Tips: Make sure your styrian coarse-haired hound does some daily exercise
styrian coarse-haired hounds must get physical activity so they can stay in shape, stimulate their brains, and keep healthy. Daily exercise also seems to help styrian coarse-haired hounds fight boredom, which often leads to difficult behavior. Getting out and about can quench most of your styrian coarse-haired hound’s instinctual urges to dig, chase, herd, chew and retrieve. Activity needs can depend on your styrian coarse-haired hound’s level of health and her age—but just a walk around the block every day and 10 minutes outside probably won’t be sufficient. If your styrian coarse-haired hound is a six to eighteen month adolescent, his requirements will be much greater.
styrian coarse-haired hound Grooming
Frequent brushing will help reduce shedding and keep your styrian coarse-haired hound clean. Check for fleas and ticks every day during the summer or other warm weather. Sometimes styrian coarse-haired hounds don’t need a bath more than a few times during the year. Before giving him a bath, comb or cut out any mats from the styrian coarse-haired hound’s hair. Rinse all soap out of the coat, or the dirt will stick to the soap residue.
styrian coarse-haired hound Handling

This dreadful condition can possibly initiate tooth loss as well as spread disease to the rest of his body. Veterinarians will sometimes brush your dog’s teeth as a regular part of your styrian coarse-haired hound’s health screening.
styrian coarse-haired hounds with Bad Breath
Although oral disease in and of itself is not critical when it is detected early enough, bad breath may also be indicative of serious, long-term problems. Intestinal or liver diseases can also cause halitosis, whereas a sweet, fruity smell may frequently be a sign of diabetes. If your styrian coarse-haired hound’s breath smells of urine or ammonia, kidney disease is a possible cause. Set an appointment with a veterinarian whenever your styrian coarse-haired hound has halitosis along with other signs of disease like excessive urinating or drinking, depression or lethargy, weight loss, nausea, or decreased appetite.
Dealing with Fleas and Ticks in styrian coarse-haired hounds
When it’s warm, it’s important for you to perform daily inspections of your styrian coarse-haired hound for fleas and ticks. Find fleas with a flea comb. There are several new methods of tick and flea management. Consult your styrian coarse-haired hound’s doctor about his or her options.
Heartworm problems in styrian coarse-haired hounds
The heartworm is a parasite that resides in the heart and passes from a contaminated dog to your styrian coarse-haired hound by mosquitoes. Heartworm infestations can be fatal. Your styrian coarse-haired hound should have a heartworm screen each and every spring—this is vital to catch infestations from the prior year. It is also good to give your styrian coarse-haired hound a once-a-month pill in mosquito season to help protect her from heartworms. Your styrian coarse-haired hound should be on heartworm medication throughout a winter trip to a warmer climate. There are some regions, usually the regions with milder climates, where vets recommend parasite medication be consumed throughout the year.
Medicines and Toxins
If you’re contemplating giving your styrian coarse-haired hound tablets that was not prescribed for him by his doctor, don’t. Are you aware that just one regular-strength ibuprofen capsule can sometimes cause stomach ulcers in styrian coarse-haired hounds? Keep rat poison and other rodenticides away from your styrian coarse-haired hound. When you think your pooch has been exposed to a poison, call the doctor or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 for twenty-four-hour animal poison instructions.
styrian coarse-haired hound Sterilization Operations
It is recommended that male styrian coarse-haired hounds should be neutered – the extraction of the testicles – and females spayed – the removal of the ovaries and uterus – by six months of age. You can significantly diminish your female styrian coarse-haired hound’s breast cancer risk by spaying prior to maturity. Spaying also eradicates the possibility of an infected uterus, a very serious condition in older females that necessitates surgery. Prostate diseases, testicular cancer, some hernias and certain types of aggressions are all preventable by neutering males.
styrian coarse-haired hound Innoculations
- styrian coarse-haired hound pups should be vaccinated with a combo shot (called the “five-in-1”) at 2, three and 4 months of age, and then once each year. This vaccine immunizes your pup from hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and distemper. Your styrian coarse-haired hound must be immunized for at least the first 4 months of his life.
- If your styrian coarse-haired hound has not been innoculated and is older than 4 months, he will need to be given 2 innoculations as soon as possible, 2 to three weeks apart. Then you must immunize every year.
- Your styrian coarse-haired hound pup’s immunizations should coincide with his socialization program. You should bring your styrian coarse-haired hound puppy to socialization classes as early as 8 to nine weeks of age, as recommended by most vets. They should have already received their first innoculations by this age.
Laws vary so much between different areas, the best thing is to call your local veterinarian for rabies immunization details. For instance, New York City laws state that pets older than three months must be immunized for rabies. After the first vaccination, she must get another shot the next year, and then every three years. There are many vaccines that could be appropriate for your styrian coarse-haired hound. Your veterinarian can give you his recommendation. Also, if your styrian coarse-haired hound gets ill because she is not vaccinated, do not administer the vaccination until the dog has made a full recovery.
Worms in styrian coarse-haired hounds
styrian coarse-haired hounds are commonly exposed to worms—in all areas, both rural and urban. Eggs that carry hookworms and roundworms are transmitted through a styrian coarse-haired hound’s stool. Most puppies, from all environments, even those with healthy mothers, carry hookworms or roundworms. Getting an accurate, early detection is the secret to treatment. This will make certain that the medication is successful against the worms your styrian coarse-haired hound has. A dewormer that eliminates hookworms, for example, cannot kill tapeworms. Your styrian coarse-haired hound’s doctor can best figure out the culprit—and assign the most effective medication.

Q: Is there any kind of break for someone if they get a DUI, but they need to drive to make any kind of income?
A: Yes, it is called a limited driving privilege. However, you need to meet certain requirements to be eligible for it.
Bill Powers agrees with this answer
There isn't really a sense of "equitable relief" based on financial circumstances (and the need to work), at least regarding the ability to drive. Put simply, one is either eligible under the NC DWI laws or not eligible.
A LOT depends on the nature and circumstances of the DWI arrest.
Specifically, defense lawyers would want more information about the reading on the EC/IR II (or blood results), whether there was a Willful Refusal, whether there is a prior DWI conviction, and whether there was a valid license or suspension based on a prior DWI.
For sentencing, check out the back of the NC DWI Quick Reference Guide: https://www.slideshare.net/BillPowers3/2017-nc-dwi-quick-reference-guide-75442669
For more general information about the system, see: https://www.carolinaattorneys.com/north-carolina-dwi-guide.html

Now I don’t like the Sun News Paper. And I see with an article entitled “Solstice Pagans have hippie time”. Here’s the link: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2492806/Solstice-Pagans-have-hippie-time.html.
The article starts off ok:
The ancient stone circle was awash with Druids, Pagans, healers, sun-worshippers and hippies beating drums, chanting in celebration.
“It’s the most magical place on the planet,” said antique salesman Frank Somers, 43, dressed in the robes of his Druid faith.
“Inside when you touch the stones you feel a warmth like you’re touching a tree, not a stone. There’s a genuine love, you feel called to it,” he said.
(from: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2492806/Solstice-Pagans-have-hippie-time.html, Accessed online: 21st June 09)
However the balanced view doesn’t take long to become unbalanced, making pagan’s, druids and the like sound like a group of party-mad drugies:
…is the site of an annual night-long party …
(from: same source as above)
Police arrested about 30 people on charges including drug offenses, assault and drunk and disorderly conduct….
(from:same source as above)
I guess as The Sun didn’t report that they were ritually scaraficing children, we got off lightly. What do you think?
I would quite like to go next year and see the solstice in at Stonehenge (as I’ve never been).

Currently, the Launcher will not properly update itself, and will instead download the new launcher, close itself, relaunch itself, and repeat.
How to solve that is to go into the Steam/steamapps/common/Warframe/Tools/ folder, and replace "Launcher.exe" with "Launcher.exe.cpy".
A single command to do that would be "mv Launcher.exe.cpy Launcher.exe".

A new mobile "Fate RPG," presented by TYPE-MOON!
With an impressive main scenario and multiple character quests,
the game features millions of words of original story!
Packed with content that both fans of the Fate franchise and newcomers will be able to enjoy.
Chaldea, an organization tasked with observing Earth's future, has confirmed that human history will be eliminated at 2019.
Without warning, the promised future of 2017 disappeared.
Why? How? Who? By what means?
AD. 2004. A certain provincial town in Japan.
For the first time ever, a region that could not be observed appeared.
Assuming that this was the cause of humanity’s extinction, Chaldea carried out its sixth experiment - time travel into the past.
A forbidden ceremony where they would convert humans into Spiritrons and send them back in time. By intervening in events, they would locate, identify, and destroy the space-time Singularities.
The mission classification is an order to protect Humanity: Grand Order.
This is the title for those who would take a stand against human history and battle fate in order to protect mankind.
A command card battle RPG optimized for smart phones!
Players become Masters and together with Heroic Spirits, defeat enemies and solve the mystery of human history's disappearance.
It's up the players to form a party with their favorite Heroic Spirits - both new and old.

Ratings and Reviews
Not your typical gacha
Fate/GO like its other gacha brethren has a ranking for its servants and craft essences in the for of a star ranking between 1 and 5. Now usually when it comes to a gacha game it's implied that the more stars tacked onto something the better it is. This is where Fate/GO alters from the rest of the gacha scene as a whole, in that just about any servant can be viable given team composition and craft essence attached to them. By far the best example of this comes in the form of 3 star lancer cú chulainn. While cú may have lower stats than 4 and 5 star units, his skills are what make him so amazing. With out going into depth on cú's skills I'll just summarize with that they essentially make him unkillable if you use them wisely. Cú is so good that he actually makes some 4 star units look bad in comparison. As for craft essences there are many that have similar effects with various levels of bonuses depending on rank, but there are still many unique craft essences in the 3-5 star range that can find use on just about any servant. The point of this long block of texts is just to say that stars don't define what is good or bad in this game. Don't be afraid to play around with low star units because some can potentially out class high star units if used to their fullest potential. With this in mind I hope if you're just now downloading Fate/GO that you keep this information in mind when you play and to have fun, I know I am.
Fun, addictive, but sketchy business practices
This game is fun. There’s no question I’ll continue to play this game for some time to come. I’m not even a fan of the fate series, but I enjoy collecting characters and drifting through the quests when I’m bored or at work. However, I almost deleted the app after discovering some very questionable business practices. I know this is par for the course concerning mobile games, but I’m still disappointed.
There are occasional special events that would allow you collect 5 star (the highest) characters. Normally one would use the in game currency they’ve accrued to do so. However, the special events only accept purchased (with real money) in game currency to do so. Against my better judgement I was going to buy some. Here’s where it was over the top for me. You need 30 credits. However, you can only buy 25, 4, and 1 - or spend more for an amount over 25.
All that said I will continue to play this game. It is very much a game you can succeed at and never spend a dime of real money. So why write this review? Because ... I’m just disappointed. I think the state of affairs of the gaming industry is really sad. It’s about making money first, and I hate seeing that. Don’t spend real money on this game.
NP Levels don’t really matter...
People here are complaining about how you “need multiple copies of the same 5 star servant to bring out its max potential”. That’s really a stretch. When you feed another 5 Star servant to your main copy, it levels up their Noble Phantasm and makes it a bit better. But I think you guys are misunderstanding the point of that mechanic. It doesn’t really do that much to warrant you spending money to NP Level 5 that servant. It’s there so that people who accidentally get that servant again in the Gacha don’t feel like they wasted too much of their money for nothing, since there’s no use for multiple copies of a servant aside from feeding it to your original copy and leveling its Noble Phantasm.
Also, if you’re getting stuck on Okeanos, you’re just not playing the game correctly. When I was playing the Japanese version, my luck was pretty bad, so I only had one 4 Star from the guaranteed starting roll. (Whoever said they were lucky to get a 4 star servant by rerolling their account is a liar because you’re guarenteed a 4 star servant or higher on your first 10 roll) I heard Okeanos with a team of Siegfried(4Star), Medusa(3Star), Mashu(3Star), and Sasaki Kojiro(1Star). The game isn’t hard. And personally, for me, my waifu/favourite character in the game is Mashu, so I don’t need to spend a dime trying to get her because she’s the starter servant.

A modern radar alleviates a navigators taskload. Not just when it's foggy, but also during rain, while crossing shipping lanes or when discovering new sailing areas. During the course we work with a simulator, and if possible finish the day with a session on our 8 meter RIB with a Raymarine Quantum radar.
Because we switch often from theory to practical exercises you will confidently learn to known how to work with your radar:
- bow up or north up.
- overlay, with or without AIS
- finetuning the radar
- how to interpret echos
- difference in radar units, setups and integration into the yachts systems.
The law in The Netherlands:
If you want to navigate in Inland Waterways during reduced visibility you must have a radarpatent and a specifically approved inland waterways radar. Those approved inland scanners are 1.8 meter wide, so typically not usable on a yacht. The RYA Small Craft radar certificate is NOT a valid radar patent for this use. On Inland waterways, if you are surprised by reduced visibility, you can use the radar to find safe shelter.
At sea you have to use the radar: lookout at all possible means.

Athletes from across Australia and around the world are putting the final touches to their preparations for the Qatar Airways IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast this Sunday 11 September.
The 2022 event has sold out, with more than 2,000 athletes set to take on the 1.9km swim starting and finishing on Mooloolaba Beach, a 90km ride taking in the Sunshine Motorway and a 21.1km run finishing on the Mooloolaba Esplanade.
Geoff Meyer, Managing Director of Oceania for The IRONMAN Group Oceania, said that the team looked forward to welcoming athletes back to the Sunshine Coast.
“The Qatar Airways IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast is a firm favourite for athletes from home and abroad and we look forward to seeing more than 2,000 out on course achieving their goals this Sunday,” said Meyer. “The Sunshine Coast is the perfect setting for an event like this and with it welcoming one of its biggest fields in years our athletes certainly agree.
“We’re also set to welcome some of the top professional athletes in the region back to the Sunshine Coast and are excited for what will be close racing in both the men’s and women's fields,” he said. “With an IRONKIDS event also taking place on Saturday there are plenty of opportunities for the whole family to be involved in Qatar Airways IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast.”
Tourism and Sport Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast was a good example of Queensland events building back better, for more good, secure jobs.
“We know the organisers of this highly regarded Sunshine Coast event have worked hard on recovery,” Mr Hinchliffe said. “The good news is four times as many competitors and spectators as last year are predicted by organisers to visit the Sunshine Coast for IRONMAN 70.3 and our great Queensland lifestyle.
“More visitors mean more demand for Sunshine Coast accommodation, transport, restaurant and café hospitality and iconic tourism experiences,” he said. “The Queensland Government continues to back IRONMAN on our It’s Live! In Queensland events calendar because of its significant support for the region’s visitor economy.”
Qatar Airways IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland and features on the It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar.

After a lot of speculation regarding the Arizona Cardinals coaching staff and front office, it seems things are finally done. The final move (or lack thereof) came as it is reported that the St. Louis Rams have hired Les Snead to be their general manager.
Arizona Cardinals director of player personnel Steve Keim was a candidate for the job and had interviewed, but with the hiring of Snead, he will remain with the Cardinals.
Most Cardinals fans will be pleased with this news because Keim is well-respected and has helped with the drafting of some very talented players on the team.
It is his 13th season with the team, and has had his current position since May 2008. He worked his way up to his current job starting as a scout and getting promotions from there .
You can talk more Cardinals over at Revenge of the Birds.

On June 10th, the Media Museum in Linz, Upper Austria, opened Proof of Art, an unusual exhibition that is the world’s first museum presentation of crypto art. It is dedicated to the most modern version of digital art, also known as NFT art. NFT stands for „non-fungible token,“ which is a non-exchangeable, therefore unique cryptographic certificate that makes it possible to transform previously arbitrarily replicable digital works into unique pieces.
The history of this crypto art is only a few years old and mainly characterized by young artists who have grown up in the world of social media. A side effect of the new hype surrounding digital art is that algorithmic art and its precursors have finally become a much-noticed factor in the visual arts.
Today, Crypto Art is characterized by artists who have grown up with the network world. Pioneers of this art movement from the sixties, with their historical works, were not previously to be found among the representatives of Crypto Art. Now, for the first time worldwide, early computer art has been presented in an NFT-compatible way in this exhibition with Squares by Herbert W. Franke from 1967/69 alongside the works of young NFT artists.
In his opening speech, Prof. Dr. Alfred Weidinger, the director of the Linz museums, emphasized the importance of Franke for algorithmic art, who was already generating images with analogue computers in the 1950s and even then described the vision of the machine as the „partner of the artist“. Franke’s extensive archive is currently being built up at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. Whereas in classical painting only the artistic manifestation can be shown in a realized work, NFT now offers not only the possibility of putting individual works such as images or videos certified on the net, but also the entire code of a work.
The algorithmic program thus provides a much more far-reaching insight into the creator’s world of thought and artistic intentions. But although computer art is only a few decades old, art historians are already coming up against technological limits when it comes to preserving such early algorithms. This is because the programming languages used at the time, such as Fortran, have long since fallen into disuse–as have the computers on which they were created. Old codes of digital art are therefore „lost“ for posterity for the time being. At the suggestion of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, the algorithm of Squares has now been reconstructed by computer scientist Daniel Heiss in an elaborate research project and has now been recoded in such a way that it can be used for NFT technology on the Internet.
Franke, who celebrated his 94th birthday a few weeks ago, is enthusiastic about this innovative implementation of the early code. „For me, algorithms have always been the essential element of my work, not so much the individual image generated with them. So I’m very happy that the ZKM has given me the opportunity to tap into NFT technology right away by reconstructing the algorithm of my first digital work.“ For this, even the old Fortran random number generator from 1970 was „dug up“ again and integrated into the code. And then there’s a little extra in the reloaded version for the 21st century: Franke has designed 20 three-way palettes for it, in which the squares can now even be visualized in different color coding.

Light industry is associated with many related industries and serves the entire national economic complex. The main feature of the light industry is a fairly quick return of funds invested in production and a quick change in the range of products that are produced, with «minimal» costs. Light industry as a branch of the economy is directly involved in the formation of state budgets. It combines a large number of industries, among the main ones are clothing, footwear, textile, leather, and fur. The largest share in the structure of light industry is occupied by the products of the clothing and textile industries. The support of small and medium businesses by the state remains an important and necessary tool that directly affects the growth of the economy and the welfare of the population. Foreign experience shows that the development of the light industry sector involves active government support, expressed in preferential taxation, attracting investment, stimulating the export of finished products, etc. This paper presents the author's presentation on global trends in the development of markets and light industry enterprises. Moreover, the individual trends of the global textile market at the present stage has been analyzed. The world experience of state support of light industry is summarized.
In the context of globalization and integration of the world economy, light industry (especially in developing countries) plays a significant role in ensuring:
- economic and strategic security of accelerated capitalization of the national economy (due to the high degree of capital turnover);
- relieving social tensions (due to high rates of urbanization, employment and higher living standards for the poorest segments of the population).
Production of textiles and clothing is an important source of income and employment in many countries, including developing ones. The industry is characterized by constant growth due to the growth of the Earth's population and an increase in its well-being. Light industry is a part of the world's leading industries. It accounts for 5.7 % of world industrial production, more than 14 % of those are employed. Thus, over the past 15 years, consumption of fabrics and clothing has increased in the EU countries by 90.5 %, in the USA — by 99.3 %, and in Japan — by 220 %.
Therefore, the governments of many countries are implementing special government programs to ensure:
- free development of small and medium enterprises in the textile and light industry, international and domestic trade in consumer goods;
- public private partnership in the field of large business;
- formation of a developed infrastructure of sectoral development, primarily in a cluster format.
The development of light industry in most countries is associated with active government intervention. The developed programs include direct government support for the industry, preferential tax policies, customs regulation, support for enterprises operating for export, creation and improvement of the production infrastructure, promotion of technological modernization, creation of an integrated industry chain with a closed production cycle from the receipt of raw materials to the production and sale of finished products.
In developing countries (China, Turkey, India and others), light industry is declared as a priority for the development of the national economy.
The main global manufacturers of light industry products are developing countries such as China, Turkey and India.
China accounts for 40 % of world cotton production, 64 % of threads, 41 % of fabrics and 50 % of clothes .
In China, Turkey and India, governmental programs have been developed to support light industries, including measures of state support for manufacturers :
- Direct state support of enterprises-exporters. In Turkey, exporters are granted targeted concessional loans, a full or partial refund of taxes included in the cost of export products, partial reimbursement of expenses for scientific research (research) to improve the quality of export products, insurance of export operations, and so on;
- The creation of business infrastructure. In this respect, Chinese provinces and cities specialize in the production of certain types of products (fabrics, knitwear, hosiery, women's clothing, etc.). To support and improve the competitiveness of products, create an innovative basis for the development of the industry, provincial authorities are promoting the formation of business infrastructure in their territories — technology parks, including quality control centers, service, training, information, logistics centers and computer-aided design centers, research institutes for the study of tissue properties;
- Tax and customs regulation. For example, in China, manufacturers of products of light industry are given a preferential tax regime . In Turkey, imported equipment for the industry is not subject to duties and VAT. In the special economic zone «Ontustik» in the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is proposed to completely exempt from the corporate income tax the organization of the textile and clothing industries as part of investment projects to create new industries ;
- Upgrading equipment and technology. India has a Technology Update Program for the textile and jute industries. A feature of the scheme is a 5 percent compensation of the credit institution that issued funds to companies for technology upgrades. Interest on the purchase of machines made at a low technological level is not reimbursed. Concession loans for upgrading equipment and technology are highlighted.
Government support for the industry has allowed developing countries to:
- - occupy leading positions in the global export of light industry products. The leading global textile manufacturers are China (10 % of world textile exports), Hong Kong, Germany and Italy (8 % each); sewing products — China (17 %), Hong Kong (12 %), Italy (7 %), Turkey, Mexico, USA and Germany (7 % each);
- - update the main equipment in a short time. Over the past 10 years, China and Turkey have completely updated the existing fleet of weaving machines, in Russia the rate of renewal was 1.5 %;
- - improve the quality of products.
The rapid development of light industry in developing countries with significant government support influenced the redistribution of the productive forces of the industry. The production center shifted from Western Europe and the United States to countries with lower labor costs: Southeast and Central Asia, South America. The production of highly developed countries focused on the production of technically complex and special textiles (including the latest developments in this area — smart textiles), dyeing and final finishing of fabrics produced in other countries, and the production of high-end fashionable products.
Among other trends in the development of the global light industry:
- - the increase and expansion of the use of chemical fibers and threads in consumer goods, primarily synthetic polyester fibers. Currently, the share of consumer goods using chemical fibers in the world is 60 % of total consumption. According to forecasts, by 2020 it will increase to 80 %;
- - increasing the role and share of knitwear and nonwovens;
- the transition from narrow weaving to wide one (up to 2-3 meters) and the constant increase of this trend;
- universalization of textile factories by product, which allows them to successfully adapt to the trends of demand and fashion;
- - blurring the boundaries between production and type of fibers (cotton, silk, linen, wool);
- - creation of state-of-the-art fabrics and knitted fabrics with predetermined properties due to the use of fibers of small linear density;
- - downsizing of enterprises and the predominance in the production structure of small enterprises with up to 300 people capable of quickly responding to market demands;
- - unification of industry enterprises into holdings with a closed production cycle, associations and unions that develop uniform approaches in solving industry problems;
- - orientation of the clothing industry to the tastes and needs of specific segments of the population, age of consumers, climatic conditions, etc.;
- - development of providing industries producing high-quality dyes, textile auxiliaries and technological equipment.
Light industry in Kazakhstan has a small share in the manufacturing industry — no more than 1.2 %. The industry carries out both the primary processing of raw materials and the production of finishedproducts. This is a complex industry that includes more than 20 sub-sectors, which can be grouped into three main groups: textile; sewing; leather, fur, shoe. The largest share in the structure of light industry is the production of clothing and textile subsectors.
The number of operating enterprises of light industry as of July 1, 2017 was 933, the main share (58 % or 538 enterprises) of which sewing enterprises occupy, since creating and organizing the production of clothing requires less investment than creating textile and leather and footwear industries.
31 % or 289 enterprises are occupied by enterprises for the production of textiles and 11 % or 106 enterprises by the production of leather and related products. A rather large number of small enterprises operate in the light industry — 95 % or 872 of the total number of enterprises. 99.66 % of the total amount of ownership are private enterprises. Half of the large enterprises of light industry are located in the South Kazakhstan region. This is primarily due to the proximity of raw materials markets and the availability of labor resources. In 2017, in the regional context, the main producers of light industry were the following enterprises:
- South Kazakhstan region — 35 %, where the main enterprises of the region can be singled out: «Melanzh» JSC, «Uteks» JSC, «Azala Textile» LLP, «Zhanatalap-MT» LLP, «Khlopkoprom- Cellulose» LLP, «Bal Tekstil LLP»;
- Almaty — 14 % with the main enterprises — «Kazlegprom-Almaty» LLP, «KazSPO-N» LLP, «Kazakhstan Texti-Line» PKF — «Mimioriki»;
- Almaty region — 12 % — «Mediateks-N» LLP, «Glasman» LLP, «Universal» LLP.
At the end of 2017, the domestic market for consumption of light industry products amounted to $1.5 billion, of which domestic production accounted for 7.6 %, for imported products 92.4 %.
One of the reasons for the predominance of imports over exports is that exports are mainly represented by low-value commodities, while imports mainly consist of finished products with high added value. Significant volumes of imports of light industry products create competition for domestic goods. Nevertheless, positive changes are observed in the industry.
Created by the Union of Producers of Light Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in order to increase the share of Kazakhstani content in the production of military uniforms and other workwear, they merged into the Consortium of Raw Materials Enterprises and Manufacturers of Finished Products of Light Industry.
A program designed for five years has also been developed, by the end of which it is planned to reach 100 % of the Kazakhstan content in raw materials. The consortium made a commitment within five years to provide all military units with uniforms.
If earlier in Kazakhstan, in the performance of the state defense order, domestic raw materials were almost never used in production, then this year military uniforms consist of Kazakhstani raw materials by 30 %.
Kazakhstan has illustrative examples of doing business, which include Kazakhstan Textile line with a children's clothing brand «Mimioriki», «Kaz SPO-N» — which dresses foreign athletes, ZIBROO sports suits are exported to the EEU and EU countries, and «Semiramide» — produces top clothes with the brand «SMD», «Glasman» — opened a number of boutiques in the Republic of Kazakhstan and supplies its products to selected countries of the EAEU and the CIS (men's suits and school uniforms), etc.
Kazakhstan designers Aida Kaumenova, Aigul Kasymova, Kamila Kurbani and others also do not stand aside, developing the domestic light industry.
Successful companies are: «AZALA Textile» LLP, which currently manufactures textiles, and the Ball Textile factory, which produces carpets, began to cooperate with the world-renowned IKEA company.
It is necessary to overcome the following major problems faced by the light industry of Kazakhstan. This is the lack of qualified personnel that meet modern requirements, not only workers, seamstresses, tailors, but also technical workers of the highest and middle level; tax burden — the need to declare the raw materials imported for the production of invoices, paying customs duties, as well as VAT, customs fees; not enough deep processing and lack of quality raw materials.
According to statistics, about 90 % of raw materials (in the form of raw cotton, raw leather, unwashed wool) are exported abroad. The clothing industry has to use imported fabrics, yarn, threads, and accessories, which are practically not produced in Kazakhstan. Consequently, a high cost of products is formed and, accordingly, their inability to compete in price with imported products.
It is worth noting that the state provides support to domestic enterprises in the industry. Thus, the Ministry of Investment and Development approved the Comprehensive Plan for the Development ofLight Industry for 2015–2019 . The main goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to increase the competitiveness of products of light industry with an increase in its social efficiency.
Among the main areas of work for the development of light industry in Kazakhstan, the plan provides for the following activities:
- implementation of systematic measures of economic policy, including in the field of public procurement and increasing the share of local content;
- modernization of light industry production;
- providing industry with qualified human resources;
- the development of science and innovation;
- measures of post-crisis recovery and financial recovery of enterprises in the industry.
In addition, there are other business support tools, including for enterprises of light industry — the Program «Roadmap for the development of light industry for 2017–2021», «Business Road Map 2020», «Productivity 2020», «Export 2020» [5–7].
One of the main directions of the document should be the development of the domestic raw material base. The Union of Producers of Light Industry of Kazakhstan, together with the consortium «Zhasampaz», which initiated the roadmap, are planning to launch production of natural cotton, wool and blended fabrics, as well as knitwear and leather by 2021. Moreover, it is expected to hold the technological modernization of the sector, which means that the opening of new, expansion of old, and the resuscitation of the country's idle plants in the conditions of self-financing and public-private partnerships.
Another program operator is NPP «Atameken». The first contract between «PIK Astana Yutariya» ltd and the turkish company «Guzelche Makina» was signed at the site of the Chamber of Entepreneurs, which in the near future undertakes to install high-tech sewing equipment at the factory of the Kazakh company, introduce new technologies and organize the workflow in accordance with all European Standards. Recruitment and training of specialists, including people with disabilities, will be carried out by the company «Yutaryia» ltd.
Turkish company plans to bring a factory production capacity of 100000 suits per year by ensuring the work of 125 thousand people. According to provided data, this will entail an increase in the deduction of taxes and obligatory payments to the budget of Kazakhstan by 35–40 %. In 2019, according to Ahmet Guzelche, the general director of «Guzelche Makin», the factory will enter the markets of Russia and Europe. This project is more social than commercial, its cost was 500 million tenge, and it opens up new prospects for the domestic light industry.
The factory will be designed by a textile design engineer, who today sews collections of Hugo Boss, Zara, Roy Robson, Carl Gross, Massimo Dutti, Sesi Ibroshka. According to him, this is 12th factory that is going to be designed by him.
China is showing great interest in the Kazakhstan market, which today is more a raw material appendage for Kazakhstan. Chinese light industry is considered one of the leaders in the world market, producing 40 % of cotton, 64 % of threads, 41 % of fabrics and 50 % of clothing of all world production. According to the Kazakhstan-China Association for the Promotion of Trade, at the end of 2016, China's investment in Kazakhstan exceeded $ 36 billion, the value of contracts for contract work reached $ 22.8 billion, and the size of transactions exceeded 17 billion.
In the framework of the program The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also known as the One Belt One Road (OBOR) or the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, increasing number of Chinese manufacturers of light industry are entering the market of Kazakhstan, while Kazakhstani manufacturers, on the contrary, are entering Chinese.
A consulting center for trade and investment, a law and policy center, a legal support center, and a department for building relations with the authorities and the government have been established under the Kazakhstan-China Association for the promotion of trade. All this service is provided for Kazakhstani enterprises in China, which is ready to assist Kazakhstani enterprises in any matters related to China.
At the end of 2017, the domestic market for consumption of light industry products amounted to 1.6 billion dollars, of which only 7.3 % accounted for domestic production, 92.7 % for imported products. In January-June 2018, there was a gradual decrease in imports, it amounted to 441.2 million dollars, and exports — 149.2 million dollars.
One reason for the prevalence of imports over exports is that exports are mainly represented in commodities with low value, while — imports mainly of finished products with high added value. Significant volumes of imports of light industry products create competition for domestic goods. Nevertheless, positivechanges are observed in the industry, and the development of high value-added production is one of the most important tasks of the new «road map».
Kazakhstani prospects depend largely on the degree of its successful integration into the world economy. At the same time, the country faces the task not to integrate into the world economy at any price, but to take a place in it that is adequate to its economic potential. To resolve this problem, first of all, one needs to be known what resources our country has today for full-fledged integration, and what needs to be done in order to use these resources and, if possible, to increase the existing economic potential. The purpose of the «road map» is to prepare proposals for the development of light industry in Kazakhstan, which will promote the development of domestic production and the discovery of new competitive enterprises able to penetrate foreign markets.
The roadmap program is divided into two phases. In the first one, from 2017 to 2018, it was necessary to increase the proportion of Kazakhstani content in some types of products to 40 %, develop two non-governmental standards, create an additional 861 jobs, and implement six investment projects for the construction and support of textile factories fabrics, suits, yarn, men's shirts, as well as a garment factory.
At the second stage, it is assumed that the share of light industry in GDP will be more than 1 %, the share of Kazakhstani content in some types of products will be increased to 60 %, the number of jobs will increase to a thousand, Kazakhstani schoolchildren will be provided with a form of domestic producers by 80 %, and annual tax Revenues to the national budget from domestic manufacturers of light industry products will increase by 30 %.
The «roadmap» also addresses the issue of training for the industry, where it is noted that it is necessary to restore the tradition of targeted training from enterprises. It is necessary to tackle issues of providing light industry with workers, as is done today in many leading countries, at the university base together with the business. Small businesses need a multidisciplinary, versatile specialist, not only with the specific knowledge of their industry, specialist must also be a marketer, an economist, and know foreign languages. Such a model of a graduate could be prepared by Kazakhstani universities for enterprises of light industry, especially when the state education standard today allows to independently set an educational trajectory.
If we take the experience of Italy 50 years ago, survived, thanks to the development of light industry after crisis. Moreover, Italians were given the task of raising the image and economy of the country through design, to develop and promote the brand «Made in Italy». Therefore, the next aim of Kazakhstan is to make the brand «Made in KZ» demanded in the world in next 10–15 years.
Total implementation of «the Roadmap for the development of light industry for the years 2017–2021» through its own 21.451 billion tenge of investments are provided. But the amount of funding will be revised when new investment projects appear.
Kazakhstan has all the prerequisites for the development of light industry — government support, basic production, and human resources. However, our entrepreneurs are not interested in working in this sector (to grow cotton, make leather and furs, model and sew clothes and shoes), since there is no one-time profit here, for example, in trade and services.
Today, the production capacity of textile production has been modernized and has the ability to produce high quality textile products. Kazakhstan's textile products comply with the necessary requirements of generally accepted international standards and regulations, which makes it possible to trade in foreign markets.
Thus, taking into account the historical and current dynamics of the development of light industry, existing and planned measures of state support for the industry, existing integration (EAEU, WTO), as well as increased innovation activity of enterprises, we can expect an increase in the competitiveness of products and development of the industry as a whole.

• Kwabena Yeboah has described the salary of Kotoko players as ‘slave wages’
• He said a base salary for a player should be $2,000
• If the team was to progress, then players must be paid well
Kwabena Yeboah has described the current salary of the players of Kumasi Asante Kotoko as ‘slave wages’ and says the base salary for a Kotoko player in the year 2021 should be US$2000 and not the GH¢1,000 to GH¢2,000 that the players are receiving now.
According to him, if the team wants to be a ‘force to be reckoned with’ then the players need to be paid very well for good results.
He said Kotoko needs to build the team and sustain the players for a period of five to six years and also attract players from outside the jurisdiction of Ghana. This, Kwabena Yeboah said, involves a lot of money.
Kwabena Yeboah explained on ‘Starr Chat’ that, “If you really want to attract the best material, you must pay very well. What we pay right now in Ghana for me in blunt language; these are slave wages for footballers. You cannot pay a Kotoko player you want to make a mark in Africa and consistently wins matches for you a GH¢1,000, GH¢2,000.
“It’s a joke. The least any Kotoko player deserves, especially the starting players, is US$2,000 because you have your players leaving for Benin, to other parts of Africa because they’ve been cajoled and lured by US$1,000 a month because they cannot receive that kind of money here, so they will definitely leave.
“If you want to compete, I’m saying that the starting base [salary] should be US$2,000 as you look to improving the amount. Until we start doing that, our players will continue to leave in numbers, we’ll continue to mark time; it doesn’t matter who you bring as the CEO, we’ll continue to have failures,” he stressed.

Perception of sung speech by young cochlear implant listeners (Wheeler et al., 2022)
Purpose: In the context of music and speech perception, this study aimed to assess the effect of variation in one of two auditory attributes—pitch contour and timbre—on the perception of the other in prelingually deafened young cochlear implant (CI) users, and the relationship between pitch contour perception and two cognitive functions of interest.
Method: Nine prelingually deafened CI users, aged 8.75–22.17 years, completed a melodic contour identification (MCI) task using stimuli of piano notes or sung speech with a fixed timbre (same word for each note) or a mixed timbre (different words for each note), a speech perception task identifying matrix-styled sentences naturally intonated or sung with a fixed pitch (same pitch for each word) or a mixed pitch (different pitches for each word), a forward digit span test indexing auditory short-term memory (STM), and the matrices section of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test–Second Edition indexing nonverbal IQ.
Results: MCI was significantly poorer for the mixed timbre condition. Speech perception was significantly poorer for the fixed and mixed pitch conditions than for the naturally intonated condition. Auditory STM positively correlated with MCI at 2- and 3-semitone note spacings. Relative to their normal-hearing peers from a related study using the same stimuli and tasks, the CI participants showed comparable MCI at 2- or 3-semitone note spacing, and a comparable level of significant decrement in speech perception across three pitch contour conditions.
Conclusion: Findings suggest that prelingually deafened CI users show similar trends of normal-hearing peers for the effect of variation in pitch contour or timbre on the perception of the other, and that cognitive functions may underlie these outcomes to some extent, at least for the perception of pitch contour.

Recently, I went on an online swinging ability with the another globally system Swingers Big date bar. Introduced within the 1999, so it both women and men sensed first mobile web business upgraded.
It offers a reputation bringing a go-to help you location to test using experienced swingers, eventhough the prepared to beginners, as well. At the moment, sites will bring 3 million successful someone globe-wide therefore that is at the same time one of the largest moving web internet relationships and you may sexting web .
SDC emerges in several regions, although not all of the userbase are located in the united states while the Holland. Really ideal link websites within details, SDC offer supposed in to the Holland however, at some point longer all over the world none the fresh new smaller, they features exactly why there are so it a devoted because of here.
Lets learn how they is able to manage this amazing, and just just what distinctive line of attributes this particular service account can also be render.
At the SDC, a guy you want in reality step 3 billion account regarding solitary thai films talk swingers and people to pick from, which have million folk people.
The platform sample well-known certainly one of male swingers they need-upwards 26percent off info. Most ?ndividuals are portrayed by the partners, providing 56per penny of the many owner base. 600,000 folks without a doubt glance at program practical they’ve been great rates.
Age bracket entry
The best swinging age merely forty two many years for males anybody and forty-five for girls. The platform can be quite well-known by more compact daters, entirely boys. Apparently, its an attraction to possess utilized swingers, that will be why it catches better great deal of a grownup areas.
SDC signup procedure might possibly be easy. Initially, people have to introduce this girl current email address, indicates a login name and you may a password. This service subscription will send someone a beneficial confirmational send the newest mailbox, nevertheless its definitely worth discovering that the article producers are considered because the sincere. The you probably is always to starting many mailboxes when you actually receive the blog post.
Incase membership rights is done, the being respond to question about the moving needs and you can lifestyle. Membership properties for all and you may lonely men and women end up being such as various other since their unique tendencies could possibly be somewhat more, along with. It requires throughout the five minutes- and therefores instead enough time. While you are, we really do not should probably tailor your own personal visibility after the registration along with.
Immediately following i signed up, i geted an endeavor most recent and therefore it allows utilizinsideg invested capabilities costs totally free to have each week. Their a pleasing bonus particularly given that Swingers online matchmaking association 100 % free off cost type only specifically beneficial.
Website try not to es depends the choices and methods. Concurrently, a minds-upwards you truly need to have the individual images approved by moderation in advance of you start sexual intercourse matchmaking.
Trying to find a healthier
Not very great towards no-cost people SDC doesnt create users correspondence men. While doing so a free of costs test doesnt render supply messaging attributes it absolutely was likewise the very best fury within my private chance using the internet. I will be nevertheless damaged, as and that requires lower demo that does not place send-out e-mails? Regardless, when the youd want to see a man, there is no way to exchange smaller arrangement.
Intricate individuals can amount several other folks in person otherwise be engaged which have collection suggests. The website permits men and women to consult with one another men and women and you will fans and won’t lose lots of greeting current email address. Prior to you can be talk, a possible improve should confirm her web site the new recognition procedure is sophisticated terminology having matching. The only variation happens to be, profiles simply leaves a general public investigation on some one immediately. Incredibly, ensure that to not ever make use of unusual come across-upwards outlines, or you might easily score an adverse well worth.
Finally, you can choose gels the new resources or get in touch with each among them through chat rooms. SCD a listing of filtration systems enables shopping for one another women and guys by figure, sex-associated preference, finest, city, past has actually, etc.
For each guide can decide so you’re able to should keep yes about three university fees: single people, associates, team. Some one profile is actually signed with all the privately attained acceptance out of SDCs group its a visibility to own people proprietors, vacation holders, and advertisers.
Everyone has to submit you to visualize, you could generate a lot more class them all into picks. People have the fresh new directly to cover-up her says in the Provide and enable picture regarded as and you can verified people. Lives guidance and you will posts items are derived from go out myself Prijs the fresh new answers fundamentally given while in the registration. These feedback can get changed when, besides city and you may change facts.
SDC Mobile means
This type of services subscription keeps a mobile style, entirely suffered from the ios & Android os functions. The latest convenient and far white in the place of Bolu in Turkey brides basic web sites device, nonetheless packing options rate is truly deficient, and therefore describes this type of a tiny SDC reputation. The application form program can be utilized out-of App index, Microsoft household house windows Store, and you may Yahoo video games.
The event is not a tremendous amount certain on-line diversity. All relevant processes, filters, and messaging posts are available the application such as for example on desktop computer. Although app package will not send an offline type your may require an extremely healthy entry to the net for the facts to get the applications so you can pounds.
The internet page comes with a responsive mobile phone type. Simple to register, speak, and you will see on cellular web browser. In my situation, it truly is a quicker secure possibilities, nevertheless it functions faster when compared to software.
To possess my husband and you may me personally, Swingers go out business is an atmosphere regarding weather one to couldnt discover people expected. We attained a good female one to offered united states experience interesting issues, get a hold of methods, and in some cases deal with sexual intercourse traveling.
Ahead of, we anticipated that is a product or service one to most readily useful indeed practiced twosomes is capable of performing nevertheless given they a chance, as well as they considering u . s . sufficient joy. Whenever we first signed up for SDC software, it actually was a little out of a danger, as there obviously is actually evidently to pay for deal rapidly, however in the course of time quicker.
When you have one thing that is a lot more wrong having swingersdateclub, it’s the request. Site does not seems also out-of various other attraction inside the, and just their unique along with not sensible webpages development and you may practical posts fonts. Most, SDC seems questionable, meant for its amazing stage can display such a were not successful means.
Although navigation is simple. Plus, website plenty rather accelerated, specifically since the therefore minimalistic. But not, I am able understand just why they will not introduce of a lot young swingers websites features and you can attraction don’t have any the sensation out of travels, important for a moving people.

A trimeric extracellular moiety of APRIL has enhanced binding to BCMA and TACI compared with monomeric APRIL when incorporated into a CAR.
T cells transduced with a trimeric APRIL-based CAR are a promising approach for the treatment of MM.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CARTs) have shown tremendous potential for the treatment of certain B-cell malignancies, including patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Targeting the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has produced the most promising results for CART therapy of MM to date, but not all remissions are sustained. Emergence of BCMA escape variants has been reported under the selective pressure of monospecific anti-BCMA CART treatment. Thus, there is a clinical need for continuous improvement of CART therapies for MM. Here, we show that a novel trimeric APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand)–based CAR efficiently targets both BCMA+ and BCMA− MM. Modeled after the natural ligand-receptor pair, APRIL-based CARs allow for bispecific targeting of the MM-associated antigens BCMA and transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI). However, natural ligands as CAR antigen-binding domains may require further engineering to promote optimal binding and multimerization to adequately trigger T-cell activation. We found that using a trimeric rather than a monomeric APRIL format as the antigen-binding domain enhanced binding to BCMA and TACI and CART activity against MM in vitro and in vivo. Dual-specific, trimeric APRIL-based CAR are a promising therapeutic approach for MM with potential for preventing and treating BCMA escape.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is defined by the clonal expansion of plasma cells in the bone marrow and accounts for 13% of all hematological malignancies.1,2 Despite advances in the treatment of MM by use of high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation and the introduction of novel agents,3,4 patients ultimately relapse with increasingly refractory disease. Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CARTs) are capable of targeting tumor-associated surface antigens5 and effecting rapid and durable responses in B-cell malignancies.6-12 However, disease resistance and relapse related to loss of antigen expression is a major cause of failure of CD19-directed CART therapy.13-15 In the context of MM, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, has emerged as a promising target for immunotherapy.16,17 BCMA expression is restricted to terminally differentiated B cells and plasma cells and promotes survival and proliferation of myeloma cells.16,18-21 Encouraging results have been reported using BCMA redirected CARTs in early phase clinical trials for relapsed/refractory (r/r) MM.22-25 However, there is emerging data on BCMA loss after BCMA CART treatment.24,26 In 1 study, the overall objective response rate was 85%, yet the median progression-free survival was 11.8 months,25 indicating that monospecific targeting of BCMA with CARTs may not be curative therapy for most patients.
Combinatorial antigen recognition approaches may improve efficacy of CART therapy and circumvent antigen escape. We hypothesized that additional targets in MM could overcome BCMA loss. Several targets aside from BCMA have been suggested for adoptive cell therapy of MM.27-31 However, expression patterns that account only for a subset of myeloma cells (CD19), or overlap with normal tissues (CD38, CD138, and CS1) may limit the potential of these approaches. Transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), like BCMA, is a TNFR superfamily member that is almost solely expressed on plasma cells and found at high levels on most myeloma cells.18 As members of the same TNFR superfamily, BCMA and TACI may have a redundant role in providing plasma cells with survival signals.32 It is not known whether escape variants, selected under the pressure of BCMA-directed therapy, will retain TACI expression, thus preserving this essential prosurvival signal for MM cells. The natural ligand for both BCMA and TACI is a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL),33,34 which is produced by myeloid cells in the bone marrow and secreted in a trimeric form.35 Dual-targeting of BCMA and TACI on myeloma cells has successfully been reported by use of an APRIL-based CAR in preclinical models.36 A phase 1 and 2 trial treating r/r MM patients with APRIL-based CARTs has been underway since 2017 (www.clinicaltrial.gov number NCT03287804), but results have not yet been reported. Monoclonal antibodies are typically selected for their high-affinity binding, and most successful antibody-based CARs have binding affinities in the low-nanomolar (10−9 M) range.37 APRIL binds BCMA with high affinity (KD 3.8 × 10−10 M), whereas APRIL binding to TACI is 10-fold lower (KD 3.9 × 10−9 M).38 Most antibodies used to design CARs are derived from murine monoclonal antibodies, which may also decrease their persistence related to host rejection of xenogeneic proteins.
We designed CARs to target human BCMA and TACI with a human APRIL-based binding moiety, hypothesizing that preserving its trimeric conformation would yield improved binding and efficacy against MM cells and that the use of human sequences would decrease immunogenicity. We took 2 approaches to engineering CARs with a trimeric APRIL structure: either employing a trimerizing 4-1BB transmembrane domain or multimerizing the extracellular moiety of the APRIL binding domain. By testing these different configurations and characterizing their binding affinities and function in bulk and at the single-cell level, we found that CARs using a trimeric APRIL binding domain (TriPRIL) have enhanced activity against both BCMA+ and BCMA− MM lines in vitro and in vivo in xenograft models, as well as potent activity against primary patient-derived myeloma cells.
Primary human T cells were purified (cat. #15061; Stem Cell Technologies) from anonymous healthy donor leukopaks purchased from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) blood bank under an institutional review board–approved protocol and cryopreserved. For expansions and subsequent assays, T cells were thawed and cultured in RPMI medium (10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin), complemented with 20 IU/mL recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) at a cell concentration of 0.5-2 × 106/mL. T cells were activated with anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Life Technologies) at a 1:3 ratio and transduced with lentiviral vector 24 hours later (multiplicity of infection, 5-10). In addition, donor-matched activated, but untransduced T cells (UTDs) were expanded to serve as a negative control in subsequent assays. At days 10 to 14 of culture, CAR expression was measured and normalized by adding UTDs before cryopreservation. For in vitro and in vivo experiments, CARTs were used immediately after thawing.
In vivo studies
All animal experiments were conducted under an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee–approved protocol. For xenograft studies, NOD/SCID/γ-chain−/− mice (NSG; Jackson Laboratories) were injected IV with 1 × 106 MM.1S or MM.1S BCMA-KO cells transduced to express CBG-luc. After confirmation of tumor engraftment by bioluminescent imaging (BLI) 14 days later, 2 × 106 CARTs or UTDs (normalized to the same number of total T cells) were injected via tail vein. Tumor burden was monitored by BLI and peripheral blood was collected and examined for CART persistence by flow cytometry. BLI was performed on an Ami spectral imaging apparatus and analyzed using IDL software, version 4.3.1. Mice were euthanized as specified in the experimental protocol, either when finishing the experiment or when meeting Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee predefined end points.
Further methods are available in supplemental Data.
BCMA and TACI are expressed on MM patient plasma cells
We assessed the surface expression of BCMA and TACI on plasma cells obtained from fresh bone marrow aspirates of 29 MM patients (gating strategy; supplemental Figure 1). Because of the limited number of plasma cells and the restrictions of our clinically validated assay, we could not simultaneously stain for BCMA and TACI. We found that most plasma cells were positive for BCMA and TACI with similar distribution patterns. In the most heavily pretreated patients (>3 previous lines of therapy), BCMA expression tended to separate into either highly positive (≥80%) or slightly positive (20%-30%), whereas TACI expression did not change as much during the course of treatment (Figure 1A). Of note, prior BCMA-directed treatment did not account for the lower BCMA expression in more heavily treated patients, as only 1 patient in this cohort had previously received BCMA-directed therapy and did not have low BCMA expression. The frequent expression of both markers, detected by us as well as others,17,18,36 led us to pursue simultaneous targeting of BCMA and TACI. Mirroring the expression patterns of BCMA and TACI in myeloma patients, the MM cell lines RPMI8226 and MM.1S both express BCMA and TACI on their surface. In addition, we generated K562 artificial antigen-presenting cells expressing either BCMA (K562-BCMA) or TACI (K562-TACI; Figure 1B) to facilitate testing of novel CAR designs that target these antigens individually.
Design of APRIL-based CARs
To design CARs that target both BCMA and TACI, we leveraged their natural ligand APRIL to serve as the antigen-binding domain.38-40 To avoid potential off-target interactions, a truncated version of APRIL, lacking the furin protease cleavage and the proteoglycan-binding sites, was employed.41 APRIL is a TNF family member, and BCMA and TACI are TNFR family members. Since TNF-TNFR interactions occur with trimeric forms of the molecules,42,43 we hypothesized that binding and signaling of APRIL-based CARs would be enhanced by facilitating trimerization. We took 2 engineering approaches to achieve this objective. First, to induce trimerization of the entire CAR, we substituted the homodimerizing domains of the CD8 hinge and transmembrane domain44,45 with the extracellular and transmembrane domain of 4-1BB, which is a trimerizing TNFR superfamily member. Because the characteristics of a 4-1BB transmembrane domain are lesser known, we initially designed 2 APRIL monomer CARs that were identical, except for the transmembrane domain, which was either CD8 or 4-1BB (APRIL-CD8-TM CAR and APRIL-4-1BB-TM CAR; supplemental Figure 2A). The APRIL-4-1BB-TM CAR showed equal or superior effector function against a panel of BCMA and/or TACI+ target cells in comparison with the APRIL-CD8-TM CAR (supplemental Figure 2B) and was chosen for the remainder of this study. Truncated APRIL (tAPRIL) was synthesized as a monomer fused to a 4-1BB transmembrane and intracellular domain in tandem with the CD3ζ intracellular domain (APRIL CAR). Second, to induce multimerization of the APRIL binding domain, 3 tAPRIL monomers connected by linkers (TriPRIL CAR) were synthesized and fused to a CD8 transmembrane domain, a 4-1BB intracellular domain, and a CD3ζ intracellular domain in tandem. In parallel, a scFv-based anti-BCMA CAR (BCMA CAR) with a CD8 transmembrane domain and 4-1BB and CD3ζ intracellular domains, reflecting the constructs that are currently in advanced clinical trials, was synthesized to be used as a control (Figure 1C). We modeled the predicted tertiary structure of the CAR constructs using Phyre2 (Figure 1D).46 In addition, to study multimerization patterns, all 3 CAR constructs were expressed in Jurkat cells that lacked expression of the endogenous CD3ζ chain. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed under reducing and nonreducing conditions and the western blots were probed with an anti-CD3ζ antibody. Reducing conditions confirmed expression of the CARs at the expected sizes. The APRIL CAR was present in 2 different forms, likely corresponding to differential glycosylation. Nonreducing conditions demonstrated that all 3 CARs (BCMA, APRIL, and TriPRIL), including those with the CD8 transmembrane domain, spontaneously formed trimers (Figure 1E-F).
TriPRIL CARTs show enhanced binding and effector function compared with APRIL CARTs
We proceeded to characterize the binding and functional properties of these CARs when transduced into primary human T cells (CARTs). First, we tested the binding affinity of our CARs to antigen by measuring the mean fluorescence intensity of CARTs incubated with labeled soluble BCMA (sBCMA) and TACI (sTACI) over a range of concentrations. We found that BCMA CAR bound strongly to sBCMA but poorly to sTACI, consistent with the described binding characteristics of the antibody from which the scFv was derived.17 The APRIL CAR showed low binding capacity to both sBCMA and sTACI, whereas the TriPRIL CAR bound to both antigens, albeit to a lower extent to sBCMA than the BCMA CAR (Figure 2A). Next, we evaluated the cytotoxic potential of the CARTs against a panel of BCMA+ and/or TACI+ target cells. MM.1S (Figure 2B) and RPMI8226 (Figure 2C) MM cell lines were lysed at high efficiency by BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs, whereas specific lysis mediated by APRIL CARTs was lower. For target cells expressing BCMA only, a similar pattern was observed: efficient lysis by BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs, with weaker lysis by APRIL CARTs (Figure 2D). In contrast, solely APRIL and TriPRIL CARTs were able to lyse TACI only expressing target cells, though APRIL-mediated lysis was still weaker than TriPRIL-mediated lysis (Figure 2E).
Additional measures of antigen-mediated T-cell activation include degranulation that results in surface expression of CD107a, and upregulation of the surface marker CD69. We noted robust degranulation of BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs when cocultured with MM target cells, whereas the APRIL CARTs degranulated only weakly (Figure 2F). Similarly, CD69 expression was evident on BCMA CARTs after coculture with BCMA+ target cells, whereas target cells expressing only TACI did not result in CD69 expression. APRIL CARTs upregulated CD69 most in response to TACI (K562-TACI), but only weakly in response to MM cell lines or BCMA (K562-BCMA). In contrast, TriPRIL CARTs activated robustly in response to cells expressing either BCMA, TACI, or both (Figure 2G). The degree of both CD107a and CD69 expression as a measure of T-cell activation correlated with target antigen expression (K562-transduced cells > MM.1S > RPMI8226), consistent with published data for CARs targeting other antigens.47-50
Long-term proliferation and polyfunctionality of BCMA, APRIL, and TriPRIL CARTs
In clinical trials, CART persistence, proliferation, and polyfunctionality have each been correlated with clinical outcomes.8,10,51,52 We performed long-term growth cultures to test the proliferative capacity of our CARTs in response to stimulation with HLA− artificial antigen-presenting cells expressing either BCMA or TACI. Weekly stimulation with K562-BCMA resulted in logarithmic growth of BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs over 4 weeks; APRIL CARTs grew logarithmically after 2 stimulations, but then tapered (P < .05; Figure 3A). In contrast, repeated K562-TACI stimulation induced logarithmic growth only of APRIL and TriPRIL CARTs, with no significant difference between them (P ≥ .05; Figure 3B). BCMA CARTs did not expand more than the control UTDs when stimulated with K562-TACI (P ≥ .05; Figure 3B). Thus, responsiveness to BCMA stimulation constituted the main difference between APRIL and TriPRIL CART function, whereas responsiveness to TACI was the discriminating factor between BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs.
Analysis of supernatants from coculture of CARTs with MM.1S targets demonstrated antigen-specific production of Th1-type cytokines like IL-2, interferon γ, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and TNF-α (Figure 3C), in line with the cytokine profile of other CART designs bearing 4-1BB costimulation.53,54 More recently, polyfunctional cytokine production at the single-cell level has emerged as a correlative function of CART products that successfully induce clinical responses in lymphoma patients.52 We measured the percentage of polyfunctional (≥2 cytokines) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in each of CAR designs upon BCMA and TACI stimulation, using a 32-plex single-cell cytokine assay. The CD4+ subset of BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs both consisted of 10% to 24% of polyfunctional cells, whereas the percentage polyfunctional APRIL CARTs was significantly lower (5%-10%; P < .01). Differences in the CD8+ subset were more pronounced: the TriPRIL CART product contained significantly more polyfunctional cells than the BCMA and the APRIL CART products (16%-21% vs 8%-15% and 0%-6%; P < .001; Figure 3D). Single-cell analysis demonstrated that both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells predominantly secreted effector-type cytokines, with similar profiles but distinct frequencies among the CAR constructs (Figure 3E). In addition, we calculated the polyfunctional strength index (PSI) as a measure of the combined potency of polyfunctional T cells for each CART product.55,56 TriPRIL CARTs had the highest PSI, whereas APRIL CARTs showed the lowest PSI increase among the 3 CAR constructs, in both CD4+ and CD8+ CARTs, compared with UTDs (supplemental Figure 3A). Representation of the data set as polyfunctional heat maps further revealed polyfunctional cell subsets with distinct protein combinations (supplemental Figure 3B).
TriPRIL CARTs clear MM tumors in a xenograft mouse model
Next, we tested the antitumor efficiency of our CARTs in a xenograft mouse model of MM. NSG mice were IV injected with luciferized MM.1S myeloma cells, and engraftment was confirmed 1 day before T-cell injection by BLI. On day 0, mice were injected with a single IV dose of normalized BCMA, APRIL, or TriPRIL CARTs or UTDs. Tumor burden was monitored weekly by BLI, and CART persistence was measured in peripheral blood weekly by flow cytometry (Figure 4A). Although tumor burden continuously progressed in the UTD-treated group, all CART-treated mice showed antitumor responses. In this high-tumor-burden model, BCMA and TriPRIL CARTs were able to eradicate the tumors, whereas APRIL CARTs only led to a stabilization of tumor burden (Figure 4B). Treatment response in all 3 groups receiving CARTs was statistically significant in relation to the UTD control group (P < .01). There was no significant difference between BCMA- and TriPRIL CART-treated animals (P ≥ .05) in terms of tumor response (Figure 4C). In the peripheral blood, BCMA CARTs showed a rapid increase and then contraction at day 14 after CART administration. In contrast, the TriPRIL CARTs underwent slower expansion kinetics with the cell number still increasing on day 21 after CART administration. UTD and APRIL CARTs did not show measurable expansion in the blood at the analyzed time points (Figure 4D). Together, these data indicate that our APRIL CAR was not optimally functional against MM cells bearing BCMA or TACI. Further studies were focused on comparing TriPRIL CARTs to BCMA CARTs and, in particular, their responsiveness to MM with loss of BCMA.
Generation and characterization of BCMA− myeloma cells
To model heterogenous antigen expression and antigen escape in MM, we used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to knock out BCMA from MM.1S myeloma cells. We confirmed lack of BCMA expression in knockout (KO) cell lines made with different guide RNAs and observed that the level of TACI expression was not affected, indicating independent expression of these 2 molecules (supplemental Figure 4A). Parental and BCMA-KO MM.1S cells showed identical growth kinetics in vitro (supplemental Figure 4B). The in vitro cytotoxicity of TriPRIL CARTs against BCMA-KO MM.1S was undiminished when compared with the parental MM.1S cells (P ≥ .05), whereas the in vitro potency of BCMA CARTs was significantly reduced (P < .001; supplemental Figure 4C).
TriPRIL CARTs eradicate BCMA− MM cells in vivo
We proceeded to test the in vivo efficacy of TriPRIL CARTs in our newly established BCMA− MM model. NSG mice were injected with BCMA-KO luciferized MM.1S cells and, after confirmation of tumor engraftment, on day 0 mice were injected with a single IV dose of normalized BCMA CARTs, TriPRIL CARTs, or UTD cells (Figure 5A). In addition, a group of mice was left untreated to assess tumorigenicity in the absence of BCMA and to control for allogeneic rejection, which occurs frequently with MM models and limits the evaluable duration of in vivo experiments. By day 21, only the TriPRIL CART–treated mice had cleared the tumors (Figure 5B), consistent with the antigen-specific–mediated responses induced by CARTs. Quantification of tumor burden on day 14 showed a statistically significant difference between groups receiving TriPRIL CARTs and those receiving BCMA CARTs or UTD control cells (P < .05; Figure 5C). At later time points, all mice that had received T cells showed tumor regression, whereas disease burden in the tumor-only group continuously progressed, indicating a non–antigen-specific allogeneic reaction against the tumor through the endogenous T-cell receptor. We repeatedly observed allogeneic responses of T cells against MM.1S BCMA-KO cells, but not against parental MM.1S cells. This discrepancy could not be accounted for by differences in the tumorigenicity or growth kinetics of the MM1.S BCMA-KO vs MM1.S parental cells in NSG mice (Figure 5D). We speculate that allogeneic responses were caused by preexisting T-cell reactivity toward processed and presented SpCas9 protein that the MM1.S BCMA-KO cells harbored, as has recently been reported to occur with T cells from most people.57,58
TriPRIL CART functions in the presence of soluble competitive ligands and against primary myeloma cells
Supraphysiologic concentrations of sBCMA, sTACI, and sAPRIL have been reported in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of MM patients.36,59 We investigated whether sBCMA, sTACI, and sAPRIL block TriPRIL CART lysis against MM cells that express membrane-bound BCMA and TACI. To this end, TriPRIL CARTs were cocultured with MM.1S target cells at different effector-to-target (E:T) ratios over a range of concentrations of sBCMA, sTACI, and sAPRIL. At the highest tested concentrations (1000 ng/mL) of sBCMA and sAPRIL, reduced cytotoxicity of TriPRIL CARTs was observed only at the lowest E:T ratios (1:3 and 1:10; Figure 6A). Interestingly, high concentrations of TACI did not reduce cytotoxicity of TriPRIL CARTs. Importantly, the concentrations of sTACI and sAPRIL that we tested far exceeded the levels reported in MM patients. However, sBCMA concentrations of up to 2000 ng/mL have been reported in the blood of patients with advanced MM.59
To confirm the function of TriPRIL CARTs in the context of primary MM tumor cells, we performed flow cytometry–based cytotoxicity assays of TriPRIL CARTs against fresh myeloma cells recovered from bone marrow aspirates of 7 patients with r/r MM. Cocultures of bone marrow mononuclear cells with allogeneic TriPRIL CARTs or UTDs were set up at a 1:1 ratio. The number of viable MM cells was determined initially and after 24 hours of coculture by gating on CD138+ cells, and the percentage of MM cell lysis was calculated. TriPRIL CARTs induced significantly higher lysis of MM than did the UTD control cells (P < .05), as shown in cells from 3 representative r/r MM patients that were cocultured with 3 T-cell donors each (Figure 6B). Pooled analysis of the data from 7 r/r MM patients and 4 T-cell donors demonstrated that TriPRIL CARTs lysed primary myeloma cells at a significantly higher rate than the UTDs (P < .001; Figure 6C). Thus, TriPRIL CARTs are functional against MM cell lines in vitro and in vivo and against primary MM patient tumor cells.
CARTs are emerging as a novel and potentially curative therapeutic approach for hematological malignancies. However, relapse rates as high as 45% have been observed for CD19-targeted CART therapy in patients with r/r B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.8,60-63 Because of limited follow-up, the incidence of disease relapse in MM patients receiving anti-BCMA CARTs is currently unknown, but in 1 trial, median progression-free survival was 11.8 months.25 Furthermore, reports of disease resistance related to BCMA loss under the selective pressure of anti-BCMA CART treatment are emerging.24,26 Anticipating the development of antigen escape variants, in this study, we engineered a multimeric APRIL-based CAR to target MM and plasma cells. We demonstrate that preserving APRIL’s natural trimeric conformation may be superior to previously described approaches that employed APRIL in a nonnative conformation. Furthermore, TriPRIL CAR compared favorably to a monospecific anti-BCMA CAR with retained function against BCMA− TACI+ MM cells, making it a promising strategy to treat MM.
An APRIL-based antigen-binding domain allows for dual targeting of 2 related myeloma-associated antigens: BCMA and TACI. Although the concept of using APRIL as an extracellular moiety to target BCMA and TACI was initially published by Lee et al,36 we note that their third-generation monomeric APRIL-based CARs were not directly compared with anti-BCMA CARs, required high T-cell doses to achieve disease responses, had a short follow-up duration (11 days), and reported no models of BCMA− myeloma. In contrast, we developed a lead candidate that constitutes a second-generation CAR with a rationally designed trimeric APRIL format as the antigen-binding domain. Furthermore, we demonstrate for the first time that myeloma cells retain TACI expression in the absence of BCMA expression. Given that BCMA and TACI are closely related members of the same TNFR superfamily, these findings are not obvious and provide further rationale for pursuing combinatorial antigen recognition approaches that target 2 molecules with redundant functionality. We found that TriPRIL CARTs were sufficient to eliminate myeloma cells in vivo, despite the absence of BCMA expression.
As reported by us and others,18,36 most MM patient samples express TACI. In a small patient cohort, Novak and colleagues18 reported BCMA and TACI expression on 3 of 3 freshly isolated MM samples. In a larger patient cohort, Lee and colleagues36 reported BCMA and TACI expression on 50 of 50 and 39 of 50 primary bone marrow–derived MM cells, respectively. Our study found that 27 of 29 and 28 of 29 of MM patients had BCMA and TACI expression levels of ≥20% of total plasma cells, respectively. Taken together, these data sets suggest that both BCMA and TACI are expressed on most MM samples. In addition, TACI expression has been reported on presumable myeloma stem cell populations, which makes it a promising target.64,65 Thus, TriPRIL CARTs may be suited for both preventing and treating BCMA escape variants. In addition, combinatorial antigen targeting increases the density of targetable molecules on tumor cells, which has been shown to enhance CART functionality.48,66 Furthermore, efficient dual targeting of BCMA and TACI may improve efficiency against myeloma that has low expression of BCMA. Importantly, some clinical trials investigating BCMA-directed CART treatment of MM excluded patients whose plasma cells had a BCMA expression level <50%, as measured by immunohistochemistry in early cohorts.67,68 Because TriPRIL CAR does not rely solely on BCMA expression, it may broaden eligibility for adoptive cell therapy of MM.
To date, most CARs, especially the ones in clinical application, employ antibody-derived scFvs for antigen recognition. However, there is growing interest in the use of natural ligands as a CAR-binding domain with several successful reports.36,69-73 Because they originate from fully human sequences, natural ligand binders may be less likely to prompt immune responses and trigger rejection of CARTs than murine scFv sequences, which may be one of the other reasons for the limited duration of response in reported trials.74,75 In turn, the use of natural ligands as CAR-binding domains may also give rise to potential issues. scFv-based CARs can easily be affinity tuned,76 but alternative approaches to binding enhancement may be required. We developed solutions to increase the stability of binder–target interactions between APRIL and BCMA/TACI to trigger CAR-mediated signaling. Specifically, we engineered a trimeric binding configuration of APRIL as the extracellular domain and also took care to eliminate domains that mediate off-target binding and cleavage domains that could result in shedding of APRIL. We observed that employing a trimeric form of the APRIL binding moiety rather than a monomeric form increased recognition of MM antigens in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, compared with the APRIL CAR with one binding domain per CAR, the TriPRIL CAR with 3 binding domains per CAR, resulted in improved long-term proliferative capacity and polyfunctionality of T cells, which have been shown to correlate with favorable patient outcomes.8,10,52 We also observed that better results were obtained by modifying the extracellular binding moiety as opposed to modifying canonical CAR structures, such as the transmembrane domain.
In addition to antigen escape and immune rejection, a third potential mechanism of resistance to CART therapies is blocking of the CAR by soluble versions of the target antigen. Our data, in conjunction with published work by others,36,59 suggests that, of the 3 soluble TNF/TNFR family members examined, sBCMA is the most likely to reduce the efficiency of TriPRIL CARTs. Nevertheless, lymphodepleting conditioning regimens included in most CART protocols could be used to reduce the levels of these soluble proteins to below clinical relevance. Alternatively, elegant work by Pont and colleagues suggests that coadministration with γ-secretase inhibitors may prevent shedding of soluble BCMA.77 Since sBCMA, sTACI, and sAPRIL can affect responsiveness to all BCMA-targeted therapies, standard clinical measurement of these proteins and correlative studies in MM patients would be desirable in future clinical investigations to confirm mechanisms of resistance. Along the same lines, incorporation of BCMA and TACI staining into standard clinical flow cytometry diagnostic and measurable residual disease assessment would help to identify potential eligible patients and mechanisms of therapy resistance, rather than post hoc measurements of BCMA or TACI expression by immunohistochemistry, which has much lower sensitivity.
In summary, TriPRIL, a rationally designed, high-affinity, trimeric APRIL-based CAR using only human sequences, holds promise for the treatment of MM and may prevent or treat antigen escape from targeting a single antigen, while also avoiding antimurine immune rejection responses.

BOOK REVIEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ELLA KELLEHER WRITES – “Love conquers all” – we are often taught this maxim as children. We are persuaded to believe the very essence of love can solve all life’s problems. Yet, for those of us who do not fit the heteronormative ideal, individuals on the fringe of the already unstable fabric of modern society, love is not safe. On the contrary, it is dangerous, deadly, and can cost us our freedom and even our lives.
We first meet Yingmei Zhao when she is in the fourth grade at a prestigious girls’ school in Taiwan. When a beloved classmate dies, Yingmei quickly realizes that she can only fall in love with women. Beautiful as first love may be, for people like Yingmei, it carries with it a dark, shadowy veil of hardship. She cannot marry. She cannot start a family. She knows that many of her peers will not accept her if she chooses to live honestly. So after college, Yingmei decided to move to Japan under a new name, Chō Norie, and build a future for herself in the land that sprouted some of her favorite authors like Osamu Dazai and Haruki Murakami.
Li Kotomi is a Taiwanese-born fiction writer who writes in both Mandarin and Japanese, making her work a complex and poetic blend of two linguistic and literary cultures. First published in Japanese in 2018, Solo Dance has finally reached an English-speaking audience with the help of translator Arthur Reiji Morris who expertly weaves the intricacies of both Mandarin and Japanese sentiments into a brutally honest English narrative. Kotomi and Yingmei hold many similarities, both being Taiwanese-Japanese and members of the LGBTQ community, which makes Solo Dance both stunning and traumatic in its honesty.
Norie, formerly Yingmei, carries with her the burden of several identities. Despite her many faces, she always stays true to her inner self. Intelligent, brave, and self-conscious, Norie connects with various other characters and weaves a string of relationships that remind her of Han and Tang Dynasty poetry. The literary figure that Norie persistently connects herself to is Taiwanese novelist Qui Miaojin, who notably wrote Notes of a Crocodile – a sacred text for Taiwanese lesbian culture. However, Norie is inspired by more than Miaojin’s literary capabilities. She is also enamored with Miaojin’s death by suicide at the age of twenty-six.
The most tragic event of the story occurs before Yingmei decides to start anew in Japan. On a night out with her girlfriend at the time, the two decide to part ways, and Yingmei walks solemnly down a dimly lit alleyway. Unbeknownst to her, a horrid man has been following them and violently assaults Yingmei. Before he flees the scene, the assailant spits venomous words at his victim: “Don’t like men, eh, you fucking dyke? Well, I’ll show you a good time.” Yingmei, left distraught and physically violated, is shamed by her peers at university, who inevitably learn of her assault. Despite being the victim of a heinous crime, Yingmei cannot help but blame the entirety of her assault on herself and her sexual identity.
Yingmei promptly moves to Japan after university and metamorphosizes into Chō Norie. Mortality encircles Norie’s psyche and creates an unhealthy, romanticized obsession with death. Norie decides that to bring true meaning to her life, which she views as tainted after her assault, she must end her life herself. After a strange encounter with a fellow queer colleague’s obsessive former girlfriend, who decides to leak Norie’s past assault to all her new Japanese friends and coworkers, Norie is forced back into the darkest time of her life. She is alienated by those she holds most dear and can no longer run away from that violent night in a dingey Taiwanese alley.
Norie decides to pack a suitcase and travel to six different places she has always wanted to visit. She buys a return ticket to Tokyo without the intention of actually using it. At the end of her travels, Norie plans to throw herself off a cliff and end her life once and for all – to have what she deems her “final trip… [her] solo dance. And now that the dance had begun, she had to see it through to the end.” Her journey brings several eccentric characters into the narrative fold. A gay couple in Sydney who inspire her with the seemingly pure mutual affection they hold for each other and an enigmatic fellow lesbian who Norie shares a night of passion with that later proves to change her perspective on her final decision.
Kotomi’s decision to set the story mainly in Japan, a country with one of the highest youth suicide rates in the world, brings an invaluable element of social relevance to Solo Dance. If life for the average Japanese woman is not without its strife, Kotomi dares the reader to imagine the existence of someone living at the nexus of queerness and womanhood – two fundamental aspects of Norie’s identity that are structurally repressed within Japan and greater East Asia.
Norie’s story is a powerful representation of the countless queer female voices silenced by systemic oppression. As the twenty-first century leans closer toward being an Asian cultural renaissance, we must be wary of the flaws in each nation that require change. “There is nothing writing cannot cure,” writes Lai Hsiang-yin, another literary titan praised by Norie. Kotomi changes the very nature of her story by giving her characters literary visibility – this is no longer “the story of a solo dancer, alone in the dark.”

TOKYO — In Japon’s largest antinuclear rally since the disaster at Fukushima, tens of thousands of protesters gathered at a park in central Tokyo on Monday to urge the government to halt its restarting of the nation’s reactors.
“To stay silent in the wake of Fukushima is inhuman,” the Oscar-winning musician Ryuichi Sakamoto told the crowd, which braved soaring temperatures to gather at Yoyogi Park.
Polls suggest that public opinion is still divided over the future of nuclear power in Japan. But a unilateral decision last month by Prime MinisterYoshihiko Noda to start putting the country’s reactors back into use has angered many Japanese and galvanized the antinuclear camp.
Antinuclear protests have gained momentum especially here in the capital, where tens of thousands of protesters now gather every week to shout slogans in front of Mr. Noda’s official residence.
After the rally, protesters marched through some of the city’s busiest shopping districts, prompting curious looks from passers-by but largely maintaining a strict discipline that has come to characterize the antinuclear rallies in recent weeks.
“It doesn’t matter, for now, if people hear us or not,” said Ayuko Higashi, an illustrator from Kamakura, southwest of Tokyo, who said this was her third antinuclear rally. “It’s just a big step forward to start raising our voices.”
Rally organizers have gone to great lengths to project a friendly image in a generally conformist country where protesters of any kind are seen by many as fringe agitators at best and terrorists at worst. This perception is left over from mass protests in the 1960s and ’70s against a security treaty with the United States, during which rioters armed with pipes and makeshift gasoline bombs clashed with the police.
At the weekly protests in front of the prime minister’s office, organizers cordon off family-only zones to urge parents with children to participate. They also ask protesters to cooperate with the local police and to go home at 8 p.m. on the dot.
Organizers have also started issuing pamphlets with advice on what to bring (drinks and hand wipes on sticky days), advice for shy or first-time participants (no need to say anything) and guidance on what to do if fellow demonstrators start getting out of hand (politely ask them to calm down).
An unlikely leader of the antinuclear movement is a fuzzy fictional character called Monju-kun, who has amassed a following on social networking sites like Twitter for his child-friendly jabs against the government’s energy policy.
Monju-kun made a brief appearance at the protest Monday with a colorful stuffed costume. “The government is restarting our nuclear reactors, and that makes me sad,” he said to squeals from fans — many of them families with small children — waving Monju-kun posters.
“If we’re not careful, we could have another nuclear accident, like a fire,” said Rion Nakajima, 5, who was clutching a balloon emblazoned with a smiling Monju-kun.
“We decided to participate because we want the Japanese government to realize that any mistake it makes now will have serious repercussions for future generations,” said Rion’s mother, Kazuki.
Nuclear power supplied nearly a third of Japan’s electricity before the Fukushima accident, but almost all reactors are now offline for checks or maintenance. Japanese leaders pledged last year not to restart any nuclear plant without local approval. But they apparently did not foresee the level of resistance that has since developed, and they havebegun to push for plant reopenings, citing economic and security reasons. Last month, Mr. Noda approved the restarting of a reactor in western Japan. Others are expected to be put back into use in the coming months.
Recent polls have shown that public opinion remains divided between those who argue that Japan should abandon nuclear power and those who warn of a crippling energy shortage. A majority favor more stringent checks of reactors.
It is unclear whether the antinuclear protests can become a political force. There is still no significant Green Party in Japan, and the two largest parties say the country, for now, needs its reactors.
Mr. Noda, who initially raised the ire of protesters by calling their rallies “loud noise,” said last week that he was fully aware of public opinion both for and against nuclear power.

NUR-SULTAN – Kazakhstan supported the recent agreement of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to modestly raise oil production, according to the Kazakh Energy Ministry’s press service.
At their latest meeting on Dec. 3, OPEC and other oil-producing nations, including Kazakhstan and Russia, known as OPEC+, agreed to increase oil production by 500,000 barrels per day starting January 2021 bringing the total production cuts to 7.2 million barrels per day amid a global spike in coronavirus cases that weighs down on the global oil demand.
In April, the 23-member group and non-OPEC oil-producing nations agreed to a historic production cut of 9.7 million barrels a day in May and June, or ten percent of global oil output in an effort to stabilize the oil market and bring supply in line with the slump in demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Production cuts tapered to 7.7 million barrels per day from August and were meant to go down by another 2 million barrels starting January 2021.
Kazakh Energy Minister Nurlan Nogayev participated in the meeting and said the agreement positively impacts the global oil industry, maintains demand and supply balances and stabilizes the oil and oil products market. For Kazakhstan, oil production cut in January 2021 will amount to 1.417 million barrels per day.
The countries also agreed to hold monthly ministerial meetings starting in January 2021 to evaluate market conditions and make decisions based on further output levels.

Dialysis requires the use of chemicals to help cleanse the blood of toxins in people whose kidneys do not function properly. One of these products, GranuFlo, is a dry powder that is used for this purpose. Injuries resulting from GranuFlo Use have prompted patients and their families to seek legal counsel and consider filing a GranuFlo lawsuit.
If you or a loved one took GranuFlo and suffered severe side effects, including heart attack or stroke, contact Attorney Group today for more information. We can answer your questions in a free and confidential consultation. If you choose to pursue a claim for injuries, we can connect you with an affiliated GranuFlo lawsuit attorney who can assist you throughout the legal process. The time to pursue a claim is limited, so contact us today.
What Is GranuFlo?
Fresenius Medical Care marketed their GranuFlo product as a convenient and cost-effective way dialysis clinics to provide the chemicals that are used in the blood detoxifying process. These chemicals, called diasylates, convert to sodium bicarbonate, which neutralizes the acid compounds that are produced by normal body processes.
Normally, the kidneys do the work of neutralizing these toxic compounds, but people whose kidney function is compromised must use dialysis to clean these toxic compounds from the body. GranuFlo comes in a concentrated form that makes it cost-effective for dialysis centers to use. It also contains a higher concentration of the active ingredients normally found in common diasylates.
However, patients on whom the product was used were found to have a higher risk of the cardiac arrhythmia that led to heart attack and stroke. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Class I warning for GranuFlo in 2011, warning healthcare institutions about the problems associated with its use. As a result, GranuFlo was recalled by the company in 2012.
Risks of GranuFlo Use
Patients who use GranuFlo have experienced low blood pressure, low blood oxygen levels, lowered levels of potassium in the bloodstream and higher levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. For sensitive individuals these problems can lead to even more serious medical issues.
These abnormal levels of blood chemicals in dialysis patients that used GranuFlo have caused heart arrhythmias, heart attacks, strokes and sudden deaths. The FDA reportedly increased scrutiny of GranuFlo. The risk of cardiac arrest was found to 6 to 8 times higher in individuals who use GranuFlo.
Side effects like those linked to GranuFlo can cause patients and their families considerable expense and loss. Affected patients have begun pursuing GranuFlo lawsuits. Currently, about 300 GranuFlo lawsuits are pending before the courts. In GranuFlo lawsuits, attorneys contend that the higher amount of active ingredient in GranuFlo was not made clear to the institutions that use it, resulting in inadequate controls and a high rate of patient medical problems and deaths. In addition, attorneys contend in GranuFlo lawsuits that Fresenius Medical Care was aware of the possible problems with the product and hid this information from the institutions even after clear evidence was available.
How GranuFlo Lawsuits Can Help
Drug makers have a duty to provide safe products. If there are risks of harm associated with their products, they also must provide adequate warnings. If a drug maker fails to fulfill this duty, it could be held liable in lawsuits for injuries that may result.
People injured by GranuFlo may be eligible to recover money for:
- Medical Expenses
- Lost Wages
- Pain and Suffering
The families of those who have died may be eligible to recover money for funeral expenses and the pain that comes with losing a loved one.
For more information, contact Attorney Group. After you contact us, an attorney will follow up to answer questions that you might have. There is no cost or obligation to speak with us, and any information you provide will be kept confidential.
Please note that the law limits the time you have to pursue a claim or file a lawsuit for an injury. If you think you have a case, you should not delay taking action.

Jonny Greenwood is in a tiny backstage room staring at my tiny digital tape recorder like it’s about to jump up and bite him. Twenty minutes ago, he was onstage with Radiohead, wrapping up their second consecutive night at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California with a haunting rendition of “Karma Police.”
“Sitting here and talking to you and knowing what I say is going to, you know, it’s all a bit…” He pauses, wipes his long black bangs from his eyes and searches for the right word. “It’s nauseating,” he finally says. “The thought of you having to go through these recordings, listen to them and assemble them into something readable and interesting. It’s that whole sort of ‘look at me’ side of what we do that feels really stupid.”
It feels like a lost scene from Meeting People Is Easy, the 1998 documentary from the Ok Computer era where the group received an endless onslaught of press and adulation until they nearly went insane. But these days, the group gives virtually no interviews and move at a much slower pace. They dropped their 2016 LP A Moon Shaped Pool without doing a single interview and it still topped the charts all over the world, even if Drake and Beyonce kept them stuck at Number Three in America.
But to promote their upcoming 20th anniversary package OK COMPUTER OKNOTOK 1997 2017, they agreed to a rare series of conversations about their 1997 masterpiece for the latest cover story. But we got way more than we needed from our time with the band – even if the process occasionally made them “nauseated.” Here are 19 things we learned that didn’t make it into the piece.
1. The James Bond movie Spectre screwed with their momentum while making A Moon Shaped Pool.
Producers of the James Bond movie Spectre approached the band to write the theme song, but it was Sam Smith’s tune that ultimately wound up in the film. Radiohead released their song for free online, but the timing was not great.
“That fucking James Bond movie threw us a massive curveball,” says producer Nigel Godrich. “It was a real waste of energy. We stopped doing what we were doing and had to concentrate on that for awhile since we were told it was something that was going to come to fruition. I haven’t seen the movie and I think they ended up with something more suitable for it, but in terms of making A Moon Shaped Pool it caused a stop right when we were in the middle of it.”
2. Jonny Greenwood hates guitar solos.
“When we were at school, we hated and distrusted anything that was successful on a large scale,” he says. “We just associated it with bands that did guitar solos with big hair. It’s already such a preening, self-regarding profession. I’ve always hated guitar solos. There’s nothing worse than hearing someone cautiously going up and down the scales of their guitar. You can hear them thinking about what the next note should be, and then out it comes. It’s more interesting to write something that doesn’t outstay its welcome.”
3. He’s also got very mixed feelings about the idea of rock bands in general.
“Even when we were starting out, it felt like everyone’s been in a band,” Greenwood says. “Bands were already old hat. That felt true then, and more so today. But I tend to change my mind and sometimes I think it’s really important and they’re doing things worthwhile, but other times I feel just like it’s people copying their grandfather’s generation. There are grandparents now that were in punk bands and their grandkids are in bands. Maybe that’s a great thing. Anything that involves making music, I’m all for. That’s the bottom line. But I’ve also got old-fashioned ideas that there should be some element to it being done without parental approval. That still feels feel important to me.
“I know that sounds really cheesy, but it should unlistenable to the previous generation,” he continues. “There should be someone saying, ‘That’s not music.’ It’s encouraging many older people feel that way about some rap and extreme electronic stuff. That’s good. At the same time, it says nothing about the quality of the music. I change my mind about this all the time.”
4. Nigel Godrich can tell the complete story of King of Limbs in a succinct paragraph.
“I had a friend in LA who’s a DJ,” he says. “And he’s like, ‘You want to DJ?’ And so I started DJing and I got Thom into it, just doing parties and stuff. We were like, ‘This is such an amazing tool. We can make music with this.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do an experiment for two weeks where everyone has a turntable instead of playing the guitar or drums or whatever.’ And that two-week experiment ended up being fucking six months. And that’s that record, the whole story of all of it.”
5. Thom Yorke’s teenage children are huge Radiohead fans.
“That makes me feel proud,” says Yorke. “They travel with us quite a bit. It makes me think, ‘Cool, this is good. When they tell me we suck, I’ll stop.'”
6. He’s psyched to be creating the score for the upcoming horror remake Suspiria by Italian director Luca Guadagnino.
“The original soundtrack was by [1970s progressive rock band] Goblin and it’s completely bonkers,” he says. “It’s been fucking hard work.”
7. He’s much more vague when it comes to his other future plans.
“There’s also a bunch of things I’m doing on my own that I have to finish,” is all Yorke will say on the matter. “They’ve been on hold for ages. Whether they will translate into anything, I’m not quite sure. It’s kind of weird. I don’t have a plan for the second part of the year at the moment. I mean, I wasn’t able to plan things for a long time now and now I can. I’m trying to get my head around that.”
8. There are no dates on the books after the tour wraps in Tel Aviv on July 19th, and the group has different opinions about adding on more legs.
Phil Selway: “It’s a blank calendar at the moment [after this leg ends], but we all have other stuff that’s been on hold for a little while. I feel that come July we will have done as much as we can with what we’ve got at the moment. I’d love the idea that we’d be back out again touring at some point, but I think this feels about right for this record.”
Yorke: “I would imagine we’ll keep going. I mean, I don’t know how, or when, but no, we’re not gonna stop. I fucking hope not.”
Colin Greenwood: “I don’t know what’s going to happen after July, so I can’t say anything beyond that. But I love the people that I work with, and I love what everyone does. So we’ll see. But I’m happy to go play anywhere else.”
Ed O’Brien: “I think the tour will be done after these shows.”
9. Nigel Godrich’s father died near the end of the A Moon Shaped Pool sessions.
“The day he died was the day that we had the string session for ‘Burn the Witch,'” he says. “We had two days to do it, so I literally left him on a fucking table in my house and went and recorded. And it was a very, very emotional day for me. He was a string player as well so it was one of those things where it felt like he would want me to go and just do this.”
10. The sessions for the album went through other difficult times.
“It felt hard to make progress,” says Jonny Greenwood, “and then suddenly we had two golden weeks in the studio – kind of isolated – and it felt like we broke the back of lots of difficult things and came away with half a record suddenly. We just needed some isolation … And I think we just operate on a steady diet of anxiety and uncertainty and utter conviction in the songs.”
11. Nigel Godrich basically finished the album on his own.
“With Radiohead, people always say, ‘Oh, it’s much better live,'” says Godrich. “But this record didn’t exist before it was created in the studio. Thom just doesn’t work like he used to. He will write a song, or a piece of the song, and the idea is the last part of it is developed with everyone’s input. If the focus isn’t there, then it has to be my job to make it happen. I just have to do whatever it takes, which makes me unpopular because I’m like, ‘Okay, this is how we’re going to do it. This is where this happens. You’re going to change to that bit there.’
“At first, there was nothing happening, and I had to find a way of making that record,” he continues. “One of them is just that it’s all recorded on 8-track tape, except for three songs that were recorded using 24-track tape loops. I did that to bring everything together and keep them focused. Because otherwise it wouldn’t have happened … In the end, we went to a residential studio in the south of France for three weeks and then I went off and I just put it all together myself.”
12. Ed O’Brien briefly thought about bringing in Dr. Dre to work on Kid A.
“It was sort of like a dream,” he says. “I kept on saying, ‘Oh I’d love to work with Dr. Dre.’ I knew it would likely be shouted down or laughed at. Also, it might have been be a little bit forced. But at the time, in my head, it made perfect sense. The problem would have been finding modus operandi because Dre obviously works in a certain way. Could he have handled a rock band? Who knows? But it came from being a fan of N.W.A and his productions around that time.”
13. Ed would like to see the band still tour in their 70s.
“You see that joy Leonard Cohen got,” he says. “You see it with the Dead or Neil Young when he goes off with Crazy Horse. Everybody would like to see Pink Floyd do it. If we were to do it, it would have to be authentic. It might be like the Rolling Stones. It might be like Leonard Cohen or the Grateful Dead.”
14. They’re mostly enjoying playing the occasional “Creep” on this tour.
“It’s a good song,” says O’Brien. “It’s nice to play for the right reasons. People like it and want to hear it. We do err towards not playing it because you don’t want it feel like show business. But we started throwing it in last year.”
Yorke is a little less sure about the whole thing. “We only did it once or twice this year,” he says. “The first time I’m feeling the fakes we’ll stop. It can be cool sometimes, but other times I want to stop halfway through and be like, ‘Nah, this isn’t happening.'”
15. They’ve never felt cool.
“We went to some awards show years ago, I can’t remember which one,” says Jonny. “U2 got something and then Ed and Phil came on afterward to get an award for packaging or something. The difference was comical. U2 walk on with such charisma and just swagger on. Then us idiots shuffle on. We’d feel awkward and would make everyone in the audience feel awkward.”
16. They are drawing from a much larger repertoire of songs on this tour than in 2012.
“King of Limbs had this rhythm thing and we wanted to create this kind of rave with the tour,” says O’Brien. “This one feels looser. It feels like we’ve got more songs to play around with. We’ve got 60-odd songs we’ve rehearsed. We’ve got that ability to go out and play a few songs we don’t normally play.”
Selway says that most anything is on the table. “Nothing much ever really creeps in from Pablo Honey besides the obvious one,” he says. “From The Bends onwards we can revisit any material that feels relevant. Take ‘Fake Plastic Trees.’ We haven’t been near that song for years. But you come back to it. You’re just like, ‘Ah, okay. This works. This is good.’ There has been a request for ‘Lurgee.’ We’ve not worked it out, but off Pablo Honey that’s probably the one that would work best in the context of what we’re doing now. It’s a good song.”
17. Don’t expect to see them play Ok Computer in its entirety.
They may have a new 20th anniversary box set and they may even be playing a gig in Monza, Italy on the exact day it came out, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to play it straight through at any point. “‘Fitter Happier’ might have a few issues,” says drummer Phil Selway. “We’d also have to play ‘Electioneering’ then, wouldn’t we? [They haven’t played the song since 1998.] So no, I don’t think we’ll do that. There’s no plans, although I am going to see John Cale do the Velvet Underground and Nico. My eldest son turns 18 around the time of the Liverpool show and really wants to go. I said, ‘Okay, we’ll do that.'”
18. The sound meltdown at Coachella was very confusing.
“I think we were at the third song, which was ‘Ful Stop,’ and suddenly I heard a crash in my ears,” says Colin Greenwood. “Then our stage manager walked out in front of Thom and everyone and was like, ‘Gentlemen, can you please leave the stage?’ I thought there’d been an actual crash. I’m right in the back between two drum kits, so I can’t really hear the P.A. I thought there had been a plane crash or something since I heard this explosion. I found out it was a technical problem, but we played the whole set and I’m happy with that.”
They don’t blame Coachella for the fiasco, though. “It was the software or hardware from our mixing desk,” says Yorke. “[At the second Coachella], they double-bagged it with two desks and an engineer. They massively over-compensated. In all the times we’ve played I’ve only ever had the tap on the shoulder during thunderstorms, so it was quite weird to have two taps on the shoulder. It was like one of those recurring nightmares where you’re playing your guts out and you realise no one can hear you.”
19. They are eligible to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to show up.
Phil Selway: “It’s a bit like having the free bus pass in the UK when you reach a certain age. Blimey. Have we got to that point? God knows [if we’ll go]. We’d have to sit down and talk about it, but it’s probably not at the top of my list of things to do. But who knows? I don’t know.”
Jonny Greenwood: “I don’t care. Maybe it’s a cultural thing that I really don’t understand. I mean, from the outside it looks like … it’s quite a self-regarding profession anyway. And anything that heightens that just makes me feel even more uncomfortable.”
Ed O’Brien: “I don’t want to be rude about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because for a lot of people it means something, but culturally I don’t understand it. I think it might be a quintessential American thing. Brits are not very good at slapping ourselves on the back. It seems very show-biz and I’m not very show-biz. We haven’t even been asked. I don’t want to be rude. But if you ask me what I’d rather be doing that night, I’d rather be sitting at home in front of the fire or going to a gig. I realised years ago that I didn’t like award ceremonies. You walk in there and you feel self-conscious. It’s just really uncomfortable. Wherever there is media there seem to be a real level of bullshit. It just feels non-authentic to us.”
Thom Yorke: “It wouldn’t be the first place … don’t ask me things like that. I always put my foot in my mouth.”
Colin Greenwood: “I’d be grateful if we got in. Look at the other people that have been inducted. I don’t know if everyone else will go though. It might be me just doing bass versions of everything like, ‘Come on, you know this one!’ I’d have to play the bass part to ‘Creep’ five times.”

Allmost all plants contain colouring substances in this form or another; normally even in several plant parts, e.g. in roots, stalks, leaves, flowers or fruits. Mostly, the colouring substances will have the highest concentration in one of the parts, but they are strongly bound and not easily available.
The main difficulty is to separate the colorant and to bind it again afterwards. The extractopn of the coloring substances is different for all plant colors.
Reseda luteola is said to be one of the oldest dyeing plants, also known as "dyers' rocket" or "weld", mainly cultvated in the middle and south Europe. Reseda can be found growing wildly on the road sides.
The plant can grow up to one meter and remains in the soil for about 14 months. It will be harvested after the stalks and the leaves have lost their green colour almost completely.
The plant color as wall glaze
Glazes are transparent coatings. The special glazing effect of the plant glazes will be reached by applying them in several layers, mixed in varying proportions with water and binders.
In this way, plant colors can provide for an extraordinary transpatent, multi-dimenstional coloring effect that cannot be reached by means of any other inorganic or organic pigments.

Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it’s concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he’s sailing to the fledging colony, where he’ll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family’s financial gain. Then pirates strike and he’s kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World.
Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don’t deserve peace. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel’s father—the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy—and he’s sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible.
Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel’s feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. Although Hawk knows he must keep his distance, the desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable. It’s not as though Hawk would ever feel anything for him besides lust…
Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk’s reputation is largely invented, and he sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. As a pirate’s prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. The crew has been promised the ransom Nathaniel will bring, yet as danger mounts and the time nears to give him up, Hawk’s biggest battle could be with his own heart.
If pirates were to be the bloody, savage end of Nathaniel Bainbridge, he wished they’d get on with it.
The windswept deck was damp beneath his bare feet, prompting thoughts of the dewy grass of home. What he wouldn’t give for the freedom to run across the fields of Hollington Estate, wind rushing in his ears over the steady thump of his heart, the world falling away in his wake.
Instead he was confined by an endless, restless sea taunting him with its wildness. In England, he’d heard countless tales of villainous pirates and their dastardly deeds. People spoke as if the ocean teemed with the brigands, but the voyage had been mile after mile of…nothing.
Nathaniel shook his head at his foolishness. Not that he actually wanted pirates to attack their ship and massacre them. If only he could move, he would keep boredom at bay.
He gripped the railing, longing for dirt beneath his nails, scratches on his palms from tree bark as he climbed and explored, wonderfully aching muscles from hours in the lake. If he could only run a simple mile. Hardly any distance at all, but trapped on the ship, that much clear land would be a marvel.
He wiped sea spray from his eyes. If only the ability to run and jump and swim was worth anything at all in his world instead of being childish folly he was supposed to have outgrown. Men did not climb trees or swim for hours, and certainly they didn’t run for the sheer pleasure of it the way he had at Hollington.
Of course, the estate wasn’t theirs anymore, sold off to pay debts, so even if he made his way back to Kent one day, he would never return to those rolling hills. Its verdant trees and round, tranquil lake would now be home to another family.
No, for the foreseeable future, home would be Primrose Isle, a new colony his father desperately wanted to see flourish. Walter Bainbridge had found his fortunes in England not the least bit fortunate, and as a governor in the New World had the thing he loved most dearly: power.
Nathaniel’s future bride waited there. Elizabeth Davenport stood to inherit quite a fortune, and for the colony—and Walter—to thrive, alliances had to be made. So Nathaniel would do the only useful thing he could and marry.
He brushed a fresh spray of briny seawater from his face as he stared out at the endless night, keeping a firm hold on the rail. His untucked shirt flapped in the breeze, the lower fastenings on his breeches unbuckled under his knees.
In the dark, there was no one to comment on his state of undress, and he supposed the crew didn’t care a whit anyway. His trimmed hair curled at the ends in the dampness, and he tucked a lock behind his ear. It had been his little act of rebellion to cut it much shorter than most gentlemen. He certainly wouldn’t be wearing dreaded wigs, either, if he could help it.
Clouds conspired to hide the stars and razor-thin crescent of moon. He shivered in the late September night’s chill; he really should have worn his hated shoes and jacket.
At least the wind was no longer the bitter cold of the mid-Atlantic as they neared the West Indies. He shifted back and forth on his feet, lifting them like a racehorse stamping at the starting line.
The Proud William was fairly large, a merchant ship carrying a cargo of salt fish and forged metal tools to the colonies. But when he’d attempted even a light trot around the main deck, the crew had reacted with consternation at best, hostility at worst.
Running was his very favorite activity and the thing he excelled at most in life—much to his father’s disgust. Swimming in the lake in summertime, cutting through the placid water with sure, even strokes, was a joy as well.
To be surrounded now by endless water but unable to dive in and soothe his cramped muscles was the worst torture. He’d asked the captain if he could at least climb the mast or sail rigging and had been flatly refused.
So he stood by the starboard rail and sometimes paced, careful to stay out of the crew’s way. At least he had been told their progress was swift, and that after a month’s voyage—thirty-one days and some thirteen hours since they left England, to be exact—they would reach the island in a fortnight if the wind held.
He was informed that some ships took several months to reach the colonies. Ships could leave London the same day and arrive weeks or more apart. Such was the way of the sea.
Staring out at the nothingness, he stopped his restless shifting and squinted. The weak sliver of moon had valiantly escaped the clouds for a moment, and Nathaniel thought he spotted a strange kind of movement. The night took on shape before becoming uniform once more.
Perhaps it had been a great ocean creature surfacing—a whale or giant squid, or some kind of mysterious monster.
He chuckled. Earlier that evening, Susanna had read aloud fables from one of the old leather-bound tomes they’d brought from home, and his imagination was clearly running wild.
She’d always been the far more indulgent of his two older sisters, and he knew she’d packed books he’d favor, although she certainly had a taste for adventurous tales rather than the sentimental stories ladies were supposed to read. They’d both enjoyed the diary of a naval captain who’d served on several ships of the line and described life aboard in vivid detail.
Although the cabin Nathaniel and Susanna shared was tiny, at least they had privacy. He really should rejoin her in their cabin to sleep and end another interminable day, but the walls closed in on him, and it felt like a prison. Susanna’s thunderous snores didn’t help matters, but he couldn’t begrudge her anything.
For the hundredth time, he wondered what his life on Primrose Isle would be like. The colony was only a few years old, and there had been whispers of struggles with agriculture and trade, rumors of corruption and settlers packing up already.
He’d be forced to work for his father or at some other respectable job procured for him, like Susanna’s husband, Bart. Handsome Bart was thirty and penniless, but of good breeding and an agreeable disposition. He and Susanna had insisted on each other, waiting several years until both their fathers gave in and agreed to the match.
Bart seemed happy enough to do Father’s bidding, including leaving early for Primrose Isle some months ago, not knowing at the time Susanna was with child. When Walter Bainbridge made a demand, it was met. Sometimes Nathaniel marveled that a man he had rarely seen since childhood could loom so large.
Susanna and Bart had hated to be parted, but she was needed to oversee the packing up of the estate and auction of the more valuable items. Certainly it couldn’t have been left to Nathaniel, who wouldn’t have known where to begin given he’d spent as much time outside away from the ornate house as he could.
Nathaniel had considered refusing when he and Susanna were summoned. But what would he do? Where would he live? His marriage to Elizabeth had been agreed upon by their fathers, and should he fail in his duty, Walter would disown him. He’d have nothing, not even a roof over his head.
Bile rose in his throat. No, that would not do. So onward to Primrose Isle he went, to marry as his father saw fit. All he knew of Elizabeth Davenport was that she’d lived with her wealthy family for some years in Jamaica before her father joined forces with Walter to establish a shipping company on Primrose.
Well, he also knew her writing was unfailingly neat, and from Susanna’s recounting of the letter, that Elizabeth enjoyed needlework and greatly looked forward to sharing her life with him.
He’d received her letter just before leaving England and had burned it in the grate in his room. At least the voyage was a worthy excuse for not responding. And as much as he’d wished to stay in England, he couldn’t allow dear Susanna to sail the perilous Atlantic alone.
Although with how smooth their journey had been, completely lacking in beasts of the deep or even a gale of note, he apparently hadn’t needed to fret. Still, it was done.
He’d accepted years ago that he was feeble-minded, and although he knew he should be grateful for the opportunity to hold a position of at least some stature on the new colony, he dreaded the notion of truly being under his father’s thumb once more.
It had been blissful having his father overseas for years. He supposed he should feel remorse for such churlish thoughts, but there was so much else to consume his stores of guilt.
So much else indeed.
He turned away from the rail, resigning himself to another long night in the swaying hammock. Susanna was of course sleeping in the cot in the only cabin their father could afford now that he’d squandered so much money.
The cry from above pierced the night, and Nathaniel jumped a mile.
In the flurry of activity and shouts, he pressed himself to the ship’s side as the crew emerged from the hull like ants. Nathaniel squinted into the darkness, turning to and fro and seeing nothing.
Then he spotted it—the hulk of a ship emerging from the night, not a single light flickering upon it, drawn to The Proud William like a moth to flame. With a sickening twist of his stomach, he realized he had indeed spotted a monster, and it was upon them.
He raced down to the cabin, bursting inside. Chestnut curls unpinned and tumbling over her shoulders, Susanna bolted up on the cot, her book thudding to the floor. One hand pressed to her round belly, she cried out, “What is it?”
“I think it’s pirates.” He could hardly believe the words as he uttered them. Had he wished them into existence by grumbling over boredom? Oh, what a fool he was.
The blood drained from Susanna’s sweet, round face. “Pirates?”
“I don’t know what else it could be.” He threw open a trunk and dug for his sheathed dagger, cursing himself for not raising the alarm sooner. His mind raced, thoughts jumbled as he grasped the hilt of the weapon and tossed the leather scabbard aside.
The thunder of the crew’s footsteps shook the ceiling, dust motes shaking loose and shouts filling the air. Susanna looked down at her nightgown, despairing.
“There’s no time for petticoats or any of that nonsense.” She threw her flowing green gown over her head, her voice muffled by it. “My God, it really is pirates, isn’t it? Oh, I think I’m stuck.”
Nathaniel helped tug the material down over her swollen belly. She emerged from the folds of soft fabric and peered up at the ceiling, as if she could see through the hull. Footsteps scuffled and thumps reverberated, tense voices shouting commands too distant to make out clearly.
Susanna whispered, “No gunshots. Must be too many. The crew isn’t fighting them. Help me pin this shut.” She had stopped wearing her corset, adopting what was apparently a new French style while she was with child.
After he’d pinned the material enough that the robe-like gown would stay put, drawing a prick of blood from his fingertip in his haste, Nathaniel yanked on his stockings and refastened his breeches below his knees before jamming his feet into his buckled shoes. He wouldn’t face these brigands in a state of undress.
He tucked the dagger into the back of his trousers and whipped on his sleeveless waistcoat, fingers clumsy on the buttons. But there was no time for his cravat or jacket. Raised voices already echoed down the corridor. He spun about, belatedly hoping to find something to bar the door.
Susanna had apparently had the same thought. “The trunks aren’t heavy enough. Besides, it will only anger them. It’s no use.”
“Get behind me.” He urged her to the back of the cabin, which was barely wider than the breadth of one’s outstretched arms.
“Be sure to mind your tongue,” she said. “You know how thoughts can sometimes go right from your head and out your mouth without pausing for assessment.”
He huffed. “What exactly do you think I’m going to say to pirates?”
“Shh!” She slapped his shoulder. They waited, listening.
More pounding footsteps, and shouts that possessed an undeniably feral quality. The hair on Nathaniel’s body stood on end, his mouth going dry. Perhaps the pirates would pass them by. Perhaps they’d plunder the cargo and be done with it. Perhaps—
The door burst open, almost flying off its hinges, and Nathaniel barely held in his yelp. His heart drummed so loudly he was certain the two invaders could hear. One of them brushed matted hair from his eyes. They both wore ripped and stained trousers as baggy as their shirts, and their boots were worn out.
The long-haired man’s beady gaze raked them up and down, and he asked his squat companion, “You ever fuck a bitch with pup?”
Nathaniel’s stomach swooped. How do they know? Susanna was hidden behind him. He lifted his chin, forcing strength to his words. “You shan’t lay so much as one filthy finger on my sister.”
Ignoring him, the squat man leered, baring snaggled, yellow teeth. He answered his friend’s question. “Good and juicy, I tell you.”
Behind him, Susanna dug her fingers into Nathaniel’s shoulder. Heart in his throat, he yanked the dagger from the waist of his breeches, brandishing it toward the pirates. “Stay back!”
The two blinked at Nathaniel, then each other, before bursting into raucous laughter. The long-haired man said, “Oh no, we’re done for, Deeks!”
Heavy footfalls sounded in the corridor, brazen and commanding. Spines snapping straight, the pirates stepped aside as a man filled the doorway, shoulders almost brushing the frame. He was tall enough to duck slightly as he entered, and his sharp gaze swept the cabin, which had never seemed quite so small.
He wore black from head to gold-tipped toes—open-collared shirt, trousers tucked into knee-high boots, and a long leather coat that flared out behind him. A pistol was tucked into his wide belt, and a cutlass winked from his hip. Gold gleamed on the belt buckle, matching the small square earring in his left ear, rings on his fingers, and the tips of those black boots.
The ends of a red sash dangled over his hip, the only splash of color aside from the gold. He had to be twice Nathaniel’s age, his face weather-worn, a scar jagging across his left temple. His dark hair was cut fairly close to his head, a surprise since Nathaniel had expected all pirates to have long, unruly hair like the animals they were.
His trimmed beard shadowed his strong jaw. In the low light, the color of his narrowed eyes was impossible to ascertain, but Nathaniel imagined they must be as black as the pirate’s soul.
He might have been the very devil himself.
Nathaniel’s palm sweated around the handle of the dagger, and he hated the tremors in his outstretched arm. His throat was painfully dry, and he croaked, “We—we don’t have anything of value. No gold or jewels worth your effort.”
Susanna added, “Even my wedding ring is plated.”
Tully, one of the Proud William’s young crew, had entered the cabin. The man—the pirate captain, undoubtedly—glanced to him. Tully nodded. “’Tis true. Only clothin’ and trinkets in their trunks.” He sniffed dismissively, tossing his reddish hair. “Nothin’ hidden anywhere in here we could find since we left London.”
Nathaniel had thought better of the crew, but saw now how naïve he’d been. It must have been Tully who had informed the pirates that Susanna was with child. “What a coward you are, Tully.”
He snorted. “As soon as I got a good look at the flag, I knew we were done for. Everyone knows the Sea Hawk will gut you from stem to stern once you’re in his talons. I ain’t dying for cargo I don’t give a fuck about and a captain who treats us like garbage.”
“Your destination is Primrose Isle?” The pirate—this Sea Hawk—demanded, his tone low and calm.
“Yes,” Nathaniel answered. “It’s a new colony.”
Tully nodded. “Her husband’s there. We’re to drop them off with their father. The old man’s the guvnor or some such thing.”
At this, the Sea Hawk seemed to jolt, but a moment later the ripple had vanished and he was still again, fearsome and dispassionate. Nathaniel thought he must have imagined the hiccup.
Yet a gleam entered the captain’s devilish eyes, and dread slithered through Nathaniel. The Sea Hawk loomed nearer and demanded, in the same deliberate but undeniable manner, “Your name, boy.”
Heart hammering, all he could manage was, “Uh…”
“This one’s called Bainbridge,” Tully offered.
“Bainbridge,” the captain repeated, barely a whisper now. “As in Walter Bainbridge?”
Fingers going numb around the dagger, Nathaniel nodded. He’d have bruises where Susanna clung to him, her sharp exhalations ghosting over the nape of his neck. There was no sense denying it. “Our father.”
“You’re the son Walter Bainbridge killed his wife to achieve?” The captain’s focus sent chills down Nathaniel’s spine.
He couldn’t hide his wince, and had to nod. His mother had never even held him before the rest of her lifeblood drained away. Susanna had been but six, spying through the keyhole, and she’d confessed it all after Nathaniel’s endless badgering when he was a lad.
Strange how he could experience the aching, hollow absence of a touch he’d never had, even after eighteen years.
The captain’s eyes glinted. Good God, the man was enormous. Nathaniel was tall enough, five feet and seven inches or so, but this monster towered well over six feet. It was all Nathaniel could do to hold his ground and not stagger back against Susanna. The tip of his blade quivered mere inches from the villain’s black heart.
The Sea Hawk gazed down at them as though they were prey he was most eager to consume. “Your father is a liar. Corrupt. An evildoer in silk stockings and a curled wig.”
Nathaniel swallowed hard, hand shaking. Could he lunge and push the dagger into this vile man’s heart? Not that he had much love for his father, but who was a pirate to talk of evildoers?
The Sea Hawk’s eyes glowed with hatred. “Your father cheated me. He was tasked with justice, with fairness. Instead he conspired to steal from me. He branded me a pirate when I was a privateer.”
“Aren’t they the same thing?” Nathaniel blurted. As the Sea Hawk’s nostrils flared, Susanna dug her nails into Nathaniel’s shoulder.
“No, they fucking are not,” the pirate gritted out. “Privateers are licensed. Legal. Privateers follow rules. Laws. Just as your father was supposed to as a judge in the Court of Admiralty in Jamaica. Your father tried to strip me and my men of everything we’d worked and suffered for. We escaped him, but in the years that have followed, he has never paid the price.”
Dread consumed Nathaniel. His father’s greed and avarice would once again bring suffering. If not for Walter’s mounting debts, Nathaniel and Susanna would still be safe at home, waiting until she had her babe before making the journey. Hollington wouldn’t have had to be sold at all, and now they faced God knew what at the mercy of pirates.
Oh Lord. Please spare Susanna and her child!
Bile rose in his throat at the thought of any harm coming to his sister, terror clammy on his skin. Sweat slipped down Nathaniel’s spine. “I…” He racked his brain for something—anything—to say, some means of escape. His dagger shook, and he licked his dry lips. “I’m sorry.” He had to fix this.
A slow, ghastly smile curled the devil’s lips. “You will be.”
After writing for years yet never really finding the right inspiration, Keira discovered her voice in gay romance, which has become a passion. She writes contemporary, historical, fantasy, and paranormal fiction and — although she loves delicious angst along the way — Keira firmly believes in happy endings. For as Oscar Wilde once said:
“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.”
