The drawbacks of antibodies become apparent in neurobiological research - for example when trying to understand the functioning of the brain and the neurons at the molecular level.
To make progress in this field of research, Sauer's JMU research group teamed up with the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) to pursue an alternative strategy, namely to develop peptide probes. These probes should be much smaller than antibodies but attach to their target proteins with comparable efficiency. The results have been published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

Editor’s Note: New College News has featured ISPs throughout the month of January. Next month it will publish a photo gallery highlighting additional projects. If you would like to be featured, please submit a photo and brief description of the ISP to pmelo@ncf.edu by Monday, Feb. 4, 2019.
First-year student Hope Sandlin’s independent study project is cataloging bird species seen around the New College campus, identifying them by their calls.
Sandlin says she’s designing a multimedia presentation about her findings. “It will show the birds I saw, where I saw them and the best time of day to see them,” among other information.
A page from “The Field Guide of Wild Birds and Their Music,“ published in 1904. Before sound recordings, Associate Professor of Music Maribeth Clark said bird song was documented through musical notation.
Clark, who teaches a course called “Music and the Environment,” says bird song and science have had a long connection. Before technology allowed people to record the higher frequencies of bird song, “The only way to document it was to use musical notation.” By the 1930s, sound recording technology developed by the film industry allowed observers to accurately record bird song. “By World War II, people stopped relating birds to music,” Clark said.
Sandlin has been spending a lot of time in January in various places around New College, with an ear cocked toward the sky.
Sandlin says growing up, “I always knew I wanted to work around animals.” Her focus narrowed after attending a lecture by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission on conservation and learning that a local species, the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow, was nearly extinct.
After talking with the seminar speaker, she remembers calling her mother to tell her she wanted to work with birds.

Precisely What Is A Felony Law Firm?
In law there are two essential forms of off lawsuits: felony and civil. Civil lawsuits are lawsuits in between two private functions, usually two folks. Criminal lawsuits are lawsuits introduced through the state or federal govt from someone or team criminal lawyer Sydney. Civil scenarios are initiated by the target, and criminal situations are initiated by the federal government via a prosecutor. Felony legal professionals are people who protect the plaintiff in felony lawsuits.
Felony attorneys characterize their shoppers in lawsuits which might be initiated by the authorities. Their shoppers are persons or groups which have been accused of functions which have been crimes of some sort. It could be a misdemeanor, which happens to be a much less really serious crime like drunk driving, or it may be a felony, that is a serious criminal offense like murder that can stop in jail time as well as the death penalty. Many folks visualize felonies every time they think about legal legal professionals, but felony attorneys also characterize plaintiffs who will be facing misdemeanor fees.
A lot of people that are staying charged with a crime hold out to rent an attorney. Possibly they feel the fees will likely be dropped, or possibly they consider that the opportunity punishment would not warrant the fee of hiring a lawyer. They might feel they could characterize them selves in an attempt to economize. No matter what the explanation, this is the risky strategy, due to the fact legal legal professionals can often be from the most assist early in the approach.
One way that an attorney may also help is by negotiating a dismissal on the circumstance. Legal professionals know how to spot opportunity weaknesses inside the prosecutor’s protection. At times by presenting these weaknesses for the prosecuting legal professional, they might assistance to negotiate a dismissal of your charge before the charges are officially submitted.
A lawyer may also enable a plaintiff by helping to negotiate a plea cut price. This requires an admission of guilt in return for your lessening with the likely effects and an avoidance of your courtroom visual appeal. Several persons billed with misdemeanors can keep away from a lot in the cost of a court scenario by plea-bargaining.
Plaintiffs who are associated with crimes that happen to be section of an ongoing investigation can utilize a criminal law firm to help negotiate a lesser sentence in return for cooperation in the investigation. For illustration, if a plaintiff appreciates facts about a different aspect of the criminal offense that may aid the prosecutors capture a high-profile legal, the prosecutor could possibly be willing to fall some fees in return for that data. A lawyer understands how you can method the police or maybe the prosecutor to existing this proposition.
For those who are ready exactly where you’ll need the products and services of the criminal lawyer, you have to work together with your lawyer to ensure that your defense goes as easily as is possible. Even when you are merely struggling with minimal charges, your attorney will be the only man or woman who can support decreased people prices and prevent thousands of bucks and shield specific freedoms that you could get rid of which has a “guilty” conviction.
It doesn’t matter what, tend not to examine your circumstance with any individual apart from your Prison Lawyer Fort Lauderdale. Anything at all you say regarding your situation outside of your lawyer’s place of work may very well be recurring from the courtroom. Your law firm operates underneath “attorney-client privilege,” which suggests that he can not be pressured to share with everyone what you convey to him in self-confidence. Other people as part of your daily life don’t have this defense.
Be honest and upfront with the law firm. He are not able to allow you to for those who tend not to convey to him just what exactly took place, even if it tends to make you glimpse negative. Respond to all inquiries, and allow your law firm direct the defense. He is familiar with tips on how to ideal existing the information making sure that you are sincere, still seem as guilt-free as you possibly can for the jury or judge.

I was born in 1975, and one of my favorite TV shows, The Waltons, came out in 1971. I didn’t watch the show until many years later. I had actually just started watching Little House On The Prairie and many people told me, “You should watch The Waltons.” So one day I gave in and watched a few episodes. I fell in love with the show right away.
The show is based on the real family of a man named Earl Hamner, Jr. He wrote a book about his family called The Homecoming. The show was made into a movie, and not long after that the movie became a TV show that is still very popular today. The show takes place during the Great Depression and World War II in the Virginia mountains. The story is told through the oldest brother’s eyes, John Boy. He lives with his mother, father, grandparents, and six younger brothers and sisters.
It’s easier to answer what doesn’t make it special, but I’ll try to keep my list short. The show focuses on family working together. One of the early episodes shows the children excited about going to a local carnival. Even if they can’t afford to buy much, they are just excited about the opportunity to go. Then, Grandma breaks her glasses and she needs new ones. The children decide that it is more important for grandma to have new glasses instead of them going to the carnival, but each one must decide for himself. I find it a very powerful moment as each child hands over his or her money. The children know the value of money, and it took them a long time to earn the little bit they had, but their love for Grandma is stronger. They know glasses are more important than a carnival.
The main star of the show is John Boy played by Richard Thomas. He dreams of being a writer but feels there is no way it can happen since he lives so far away from New York City, up in the mountains. He is also disheartened because his stories are all about his family. He wonders why anyone would want to read about his family, but he finds he must get his words out on paper daily. Many episodes end with him writing at his desk.
The parents, John and Olivia Walton, are wonderful loving parents. John keeps them all in line, while Olivia is stern and loving. Both are very hard working and encourage their children to be hard workers too. They are loving and affectionate with their children. John and Olivia are also still very much in love. The children in the series are realistic too, and I think any child who watches today can relate to at least one of the kids.
As the oldest, John Boy is often in charge of all of his brothers and sisters. He longs for privacy to just sit and write. He often finds this late at night. Even though he can seem annoyed by his siblings at times, you can see he loves them and cares about him. He takes time to be a good big brother by giving them advice.
Jason – he’s a natural musician who is always creating music in some way. His character is often writing songs that I really enjoy. He is a good singer too and can play many different instruments.
Mary Ellen – is a tomboy and strong willed. She struggles to find who she is and what life is all about. She can come across as moody, and I’ve heard others say she is the most annoying character, but I find her to be a very realistic teenager.
Ben – is an eager and hardworking boy who often comes up with creative ways to earn money. He is shorter than most boys his age, but makes up for it in spirit.
Erin – is the little sister known for tattling, and wanting everything to be fair. She seems to a typical middle child. She is often called the pretty girl in the family.
Jim-Bob – always has his head in the clouds. He dreams big and longs to fly airplanes. While he doesn’t like school, he loves building everything from a working CB radio to later his own car.
Elizabeth – the youngest Walton is adorable. She is a typical little sister who is sensitive and free spirited.
My most favorite characters are the grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa Walton are such loveable characters. Grandma is not your typical cookie-baking grandma. She is firm, stubborn, and has a strong belief in hard work no matter how you feel.
Grandpa is very funny, a troublemaker and a nature lover. He always has a story to tell even if it is filled with tall tales. I’ve loved learning that Will Geer, who played Grandpa, really was like the man he portrayed on The Waltons. He really did plant the family garden, and as he walked around where they filmed, he often carried the bag he is seen wearing in the show filled with seeds. His real-life daughter made the bag for him. He taught the children who played his grandchildren in the show to respect and love the land.
In addition, the actress who played Grandma actually had a stroke and she didn’t let that slow her down. She returned to the show even though she could hardly speak and struggled to use one side of her body. Even after the show ended she appeared in the reunion movies.
Another great thing about this show is history comes alive. I have learned so much about World War II, since the show often features the family gathered around their radio at night listening to the news or radio shows. It plays actual broadcasts, which I think is pretty cool. The show tells about the invading of Europe, the tragedy of Pearl Harbor, the fear families felt for loved ones going off to war, loved ones missing in action, and even how women stepped up to be active in supporting our country during war time.
Like Little House on the Prairie you also get to know the people of Walton Mountain. You grow to love the owner of the local store, Mr. Godsey, and his wife, Corabeth. You laugh at the innocence of the Baldwin sisters and their “recipe.” Plus there are plenty of other town folk that you get to know.
Every time I watch the show it’s almost like going back home after a long trip. I can’t help but grin when I see the Walton house. So if you haven’t seen the show, give it a chance, and I’m sure your family will love them as much as we do.
I adore the Waltons! I really think I’ve seen every episode, but that doesn’t stop me from watching them again every chance I get.
I absolutely love The Waltons! Too bad there aren’t so many wholesome shows today with great life lessons.

This is an event of the Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
Have we tipped the scale towards achieving a healthy weight? What are the most promising opportunities that will drive future progress and action in obesity prevention and treatment? Beginning with a spirited conversation with former Surgeon General David Satcher, who started it all with his 2001 Call to Action on obesity, and Jeff Koplan, former Director of the CDC, this workshop will answer these questions and more. Thought leaders from health policy, philanthropy, business, health care, early education, and other key sectors will present their visions for conquering obesity and offer practical steps to get there.
In 2001, Surgeon General David Satcher issued a Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, putting the national spotlight on obesity for the first time. In response, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted several expert consensus studies on the topic, including prevention of childhood obesity, the effects of food marketing on children, and the evaluation of prevention efforts. A standing committee continued this work, and in 2012, the Academies released Accelerating Progress on Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation, which highlighted the need for engaging everyone, from all levels (from individuals, to families, to communities, to society) and across all sectors, to implement large-scale transformative approaches to address the environmental and policy drivers of the epidemic. Today, the Roundtable on Obesity Solutions supports this vision by bringing together leaders from business, policy, public health, health care, and other important sectors to advance obesity prevention and treatment.

In the eleventh part of 'Destination Lisbon', our feature counting down to the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, we get to know SuRie who will represent the United Kingdom with the song 'Storm'.
Last February, SuRie won the United Kingdom's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest Eurovision: You Decide with the song Storm, thanks to support from both televoters at home as well as a professional jury.
In preparation for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, SuRie already met up with Finland's Saara Aalto for a traditional British cup of tea and a chat.
SuRie, a combination of her first names Susanna and Marie, is a classically trained musician who graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London. In fact, SuRie was recently chosen as an Associate of the academy, an honour only awarded to former students who make a significant contribution to the music profession.
SuRie's performance career began at a young age. Her head buried in books, a creative young SuRie was often found writing short stories, poetry and lyrics, which swiftly turned into song writing. SuRie performed as a soloist to HRH Princes Charles at the Royal Albert Hall and has held residencies in jazz lounges throughout London. She also performed as backing vocalist for artists like Chris Martin and Will Young.
Her debut LP, Something Beginning With... is a culmination of a writing and recording process that took SuRie almost all around the world.

She returned again with the Belgians in 2017, supporting Blanche and City Lights as musical director, reaching a respectable fourth position.

when is the hyperactive day? i hope its tomorrow and not the 31st (31st being a monday and all).
It will most likely be the 31st. Just because it's the day before New Years. It's how it is every year.
To clarify here, the New Year's Raffle will use your activity score from Monday, December 31st, as that is New Year's Eve. Sadly that falls on a Monday.
You will receive one entry in to the raffle for every 2019 points of activity, however large amounts of entries will not guarantee a prize. As with any raffle, you could win with just one entry.
Has the 'certain amount' of vouchers to be distributed been confirmed yet, or are we not allowed to know?
Best of luck to everyone entering, I certainly will be, this is the first time I would have entered!
I do hope everyone had a wonderful and Merry Christmas. Here is to a positive and strong end to the year! Cheers!
Trainer Emily, I'm of the opinion that they won't tell us the number of vouchers. That would make some give up even though they might have a chance. I'd say just click as much as you can when you can tomorrow and be aware of your local reset time for the site. Remember the main factor for tomorrow. Click to have fun. That's what I'm going to do once I get back from the mail tun to the office.
Ooh! I really want the new Pokemon! (I'm guessing it's Zeraora, Meltan, Buzzwole, or Poipole.) I hope there's a big multiplier tomorrow!
Thank you for your response, and good luck!
but knowing my luck, i aint holding my breath.
Don't lose hope! Like Zerxer said, it's possible to win even with just one entry!
16.8k interactions and I'm done. That should net me 8 entries. Good luck, everyone!
Phew, my activity score totaled out to 792,208... so 392 entries?
Hard same. I've gotten a couple k as well, but just like in previous years I'm not being too hopeful haha.
I'm kind of afraid to even look to see if I got one. Maybe they haven't even gone out and perhaps tomorrow (the "real" tomorrow) will tell for sure.
Good luck to all who vied for the voucher(s). And... while I'm 1.5 hours on the wrong side of it... HAPPY NEW YEAR to Everyone!
Iirc, don't we usually get scratchcards alongside prizes or was that for the Hannukah event last year? In any case, I'm guessing the script's probably not going to run until later.
I haven't seen a single user with a new egg, so I'm guessing the vouchers haven't been distributed yet.

The focus of the last three months has been on Food from the Oceans , the first SAM project to be coordinated by the SAPEA (Science Advice for Policy by European Academies) Consortium. It has been led by Academia Europaea, with responsibility for delivery of the work given to the Cardiff Hub. We have been addressing the key question of how more food and biomass can be obtained from the oceans in a way that does not deprive future generations of their benefits.
I have represented the SAPEA Consortium on the Steering Group for the project, with Louise Edwards, Hub Manager, as Chair of the SAPEA Staff Team.
A priority was to establish two international working groups, one covering the natural sciences and the other the social sciences/humanities. The working groups have met five times in all, in May and June.
The primary task of the working groups has been to write the scientific evidence report, with the first draft due on 15th August, a challenging deadline for all involved, but one which was met. Following formal peer review in the autumn, the scientific evidence report is expected to be published by SAPEA in late November.
From now on, the task of developing the policy-oriented scientific opinion is also under way, principally by the High-Level Group of Scientific Advisors and the SAM Unit. An expert workshop in Brussels on 14th September will establish a bridge from the scientific evidence to the policy recommendations.
A highly innovative aspect of the SAPEA work has been the public engagement activities, designed to promote our work in Food from the Oceans. In this newsletter, we report on two such events, one held in Bergen and the other in Cardiff. I am delighted that the Bergen and Cardiff AE Hubs have collaborated very closely in hosting these events.
The Hub’s Half-Year Report, covering January-June 2017, will be published shortly and available on our website .
The Cardiff AE Hub was at this event to promote our work on Food from the Oceans. It was organised by Cardiff University’s Sustainable Places Research Institute to mark World Oceans Day on 8th June. A report is available.
The first public engagement event for the Food from the Oceans project was held in Bergen in June, presenting the perfect opportunity to strengthen the bond between the AE Hubs of Bergen and Cardiff. It marked the UNESCO Sustainable Gastronomy Day and Bergen’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.
A series of colourful stalls offering food samples attracted around 2,000 visitors and it featured on the main news of TV2, Norway’s principal commercial channel, reaching up to 1 million viewers.
A programme of public talks and an open debate on the theme of Food from the Oceans took place during the afternoon.
The annual Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival is visited by around 80,000 people. The Cardiff Hub, working closely with colleagues in Bergen, organised a programme of public talks on the theme of Food from the Oceans. A highlight was the public debate , Can we get more food from the ocean? The events were hosted at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay, which was celebrating its 25th anniversary following renovation. We were delighted to be joined in Cardiff by Professor Carina Keskitalo, member of the SAM High-Level Group and Chair of the FFO Steering Group.

Witteveen studied economics, started as a journalist, evolved to book writer and public speaker.
Erwin Witteveen is the co-writer of 'Nooit Af' (in English 'Permanent Beta'), which had been nominated for the award Dutch Management Book of the Year 2016.
This book did not win the first prize, because -according to members of the jury - "it's not a management book, it's much more than that, it's in fact a book for everyone." Since that moment, together with co-writer Martijn Aslander, they ironically promote their work as 'non-management Book of the Year'. 'Nooit Af' offers an inspiring and broad view on the society where we live in now, and how much and why it differs so much of the world before 2010, the world where most politicians and managers still think we are living in. The network and information society, offers endless possibilities and has brought us into a New Renaissance.
They already predicted this new Renaissance in their previous book Easycratie (2010) in which is stated: nearly all problems are only bureaucratic problems, all the pieces of the solution are already known, they only have to be connected.

Clubroot symptoms on mustard plants.
Club root is an unusual disease that results in swollen distorted roots of plants in the cabbage family. Although a few reports from the 1950’ and 60’s indicate that clubroot occurred in Minnesota at one time, this disease has not been common in recent years. To determine just how wide spread this disease is in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture has been looking for clubroot as part of their pathways survey for new and emerging invasive plant pests. The disease was identified in Ramsey county on edible mustard greens in the 2016 survey.
Firm white galls from clubroot infection of a turnip root.
Club root is a plant disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, an interesting microorganism that can only grow and reproduce within the roots of an infected plant. The clubroot pathogen infects members of the cabbage family including broccoli, cauliflower, radish, turnip, Brussels sprouts, rutabaga, and mustard greens. Although the pathogen can infect and survive on the roots of some grasses and weeds, only members of the cabbage family develop swollen distorted roots.
Cabbage plant wilting because of clubroot.
Plants infected with clubroot may be stunted and have small leaves. Because the roots are not functioning properly, infected plants wilt with only slight drought stress and may turn yellow. Once plants are dug up the infection is quite obvious. Roots are swollen and distorted into large clubs. Smaller bulbous galls may be seen on root branches off the side of larger clubbed roots, or coming off a large taproot like a turnip. Infected roots are white and firm early in the growing season but turn dark and begin to decay by the end of the season. As these galls decay, resting spores of the pathogen are released into the soil. These thick walled spores are capable of surviving in the soil for over 20 years.
Although the clubroot pathogen is very difficult to get rid of once it is found on a site, there are several strategies a gardener can use to reduce damage from this disease.
Bury infected plants at the same site where the disease was discovered. Moving infected plant material to a compost pile or a different part of the garden will spread the pathogen to new areas.
Do not plant any members of the cabbage family in the garden for 5 to 6 years. This will not eliminate the pathogen but will reduce it to a less damaging level. Consider planting members of the cabbage family in pots, in a community garden plot, or in a flower bed to allow the infested area of the garden to remain free of susceptible plants for the full rotation period.
Have a soil test done. If the soil pH is lower than 7.0 add lime to the soil to increase the pH above 7.0. This will not kill the pathogen but will create conditions that are unfavorable for disease.
Clean garden tools and equipment before using them in other areas of the garden. Do not move soil from the infected area of the garden, as the soil will contain clubroot spores.
Look for varieties that have resistance to clubroot. Several cabbage varieties with resistance to clubroot are available. Check seed catalogs for resistant varieties of other members of the cabbage family.

If you have fall allergies and react to fungi and molds, you probably face your worst symptoms in late summer and early fall. Although you might feel miserable from the end of March until November, making it seem like you have year-round allergies, you should get a break now. November may be one of the best months for people with outdoor allergies, which allows for enjoying the crisp weather. Then, just in time, indoor allergies to pet dander and indoor molds pick up.

In the novel “1984,” George Orwell’s unsettling prophecy of a totalitarian society, Newspeak was the official language of Oceania. It was devised to limit freedom of thought. New words were invented, undesirable words eliminated, and the remaining words redefined or limited in scope to further the Party’s ideology. If something can’t be said, it can’t be thought, making a diverging thought unthinkable.
That the Newspeak definition for “convention of the states” doesn’t exist in our founding documents doesn’t matter to the convention lobby. It serves to deceive legislators into thinking that an “Article V convention,” unlike a “constitutional convention,” can’t run away and therefore secures legislators’ YES votes on con-con applications.
COS operatives and their coterie of attorneys fail to mention that we have another founding document in addition to the Constitution. That document is the Declaration of Independence, which preceded the Constitution.
AppendixThe Declaration of Independence, paragraph 2, expresses our founding principles which are above the Constitution: that all men are created equal; that our Rights come from God; that the purpose of government is to secure those Rights; and that, if the government fails to secure our Rights, We the People have the Right “to alter or to abolish” our government and set up a new one.
Newspeak, as adopted by the convention lobby, is believed and repeated in State Capitols across America by too many Republican legislators who have set logic and truth aside to buy the false narrative. They believe that the solution to an overreaching federal government that has ignored our Constitution is to change our Constitution! And that an Article V convention called by Congress can’t possibly run away because it is just a “convention of the states” in Newspeak!

Just like the movie 21, a new comic titled “Brilliant” that is being released in July 2011, features the MIT Blackjack team and follows the stories of their adventures. The comic will feature a twist in the tale, where a group of geeky college students get super powers after a freak laboratory accident. Their quest is to gain more power and wealth.
Most blackjack players enjoyed watching and are big fans of the movie “21” that revolves around the game of blackjack and a master team of blackjack players. The movie 21 features a group of MIT students who are brilliant at math who are coached by their math teacher to hone their skills to use it at the casinos in Las Vegas to make some extra money by playing blackjack.
This movie is based on the story of the MIT Blackjack Card Counting Team. This team that operated from 1979 eventually generated 3500% yearly returns from their investment at blackjack tables.
The new comic that was released at the C2E2 comic book convention in Chicago by Mark Bagley and Brian Bendis is expected to run eight issues and it could also be made as a miniseries if people favour the same. The game of blackjack is more popular than any other game of cards due to the many strategies that players can use as an edge to win this game.

Center parts to be on-trend.
Middle part hairstyles embrace the whole generation of hair looks emerged into fashion industry a wile ago and keeping high the positions among the leaders. For sure, you may be the one on side-swept side, never changing your strategical opinion, but with center parts you should be able to make yourself try them at least ones. It is quite sure now that mid parts are the most worn hairstyles on and off the runways. And there is a reason why backstage hairstylists adore this parting. First of all there is a saying - golden medium. This is number one reason to love midparts. Besides they underline some features on your face, in loose hairstyle they can hide square face shape, and underline oval one in slicked updos. Secondly, it is all about symmetry. Nowadays current hair trends seek harmony in everything and here is where mid part hairstyles create perfect symmetry and consonance. Both for updos and downdos, for straight and wavy hair, there is always a good chance for abetter look once you shift to center parting.
You may think that one can wear such extremely centered parting only in case he has perfect facial features. And you are right. If you wear it when your two sides are not perfectly symmetric, you will result in accentuating what you obviously didn't want. And the solution is to try off center hairstyles. Hair stylist say that the ideal parting is to measure two inches from center and do the parting there.
For runway stars off centering is not that necessary. Models are chosen quite carefully and all the little trifles are taken into consideration when it comes to model looks. So runway mid parts with perfect centering are a common thing. And also beautiful.
Long before the center parted hair trends were set some celebrities were already successfully boasting mid parts, like Kim.She rarely tries side parts, preferring to underline her supreme features in low buns with middle parting.
The tendencies never go by the beauty addicts, and we very quickly see the trends adopted by ladies in social media. Long and bob haircuts and center parting, really make the mainstream direction.

Gerard Menzel will be holding his Zen brush painting workshop at the Railway Arts Hub on Sun 25th Oct 2015, 11am – 4.30pm.
Sumie (black ink on rice paper) is a beautiful way to paint nature and the world in all its beauty and grace as we see the world in a different Zen light, where the subjects essence or “kami” spirit is depicted. Zen painting is an art form, a way of living and breathing through the world.
The class will cover Zen insights, Sumie as meditation and art practice, the Zen way of painting and observation, and Zen as philosophy.
The origin of Sumie date back to the Southern School of Chinese Zen painting and it was transplanted to Japan by Esai and Dogen. Used to train the mind, it is one of the “Zen arts” including ikebana and shodo. The practice of painting is akin to Zen training of the mind body and senses.
Gerard Menzel studied with Andre Sollier and taught and exhibited in Australia and overseas. He has lived Japan where he also studied aikido.
Materials $7 or BYO materials. To order a sumie kit before class phone Gerard.

Measles cases in Europe tripled between 2017 and 2018, reaching their highest recorded level in the last decade, according to new data from the World Health Organization (WHO) published this month. There were 72 deaths from measles in 2018, up from just 42 the year before.
More than 90 percent of the cases were concentrated in just ten countries, including France, Italy, and Greece, according to BBC News.
Ukraine saw the highest number of cases by far with 53,218, over ten times the amount of Serbia, which had the next highest number of cases at over 5,000. Ukraine’s measles rate was also ten times its rate in 2017, with 1,209 cases per one million people.
This increase fueled Europe’s overall increase, with 25,863 cases in 2017, up to over 82,000 last year.
During its conflict with neighboring Russia, rates of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination fell to 31 percent in Ukraine, among the lowest rates worldwide. By the end of 2017, child vaccination rates had bounced back, reaching about 90 percent. WHO officials say this rate will need to be maintained to prevent further outbreaks.
The news comes as other parts of the world continue to face increasingly frequent outbreaks, including a new outbreak in the Philippines that has caused 26 deaths with 1,813 cases as of January 26th – a 74 percent increase from the year before. Vaccination rates have been falling after concern over problems with an unrelated dengue vaccine, called Dengvaxia. With 2.4 million unvaccinated children there, doctors are concerned about how far the outbreak could spread.
Researchers say vaccination rates of about 95 percent are necessary to prevent outbreaks, and rates are falling in much of the world, thanks in part to misinformation and concern over side effects. This decline is extending to parts of the world where measles had all but disappeared, including Europe and the US – and resurgence of measles cases is following close behind.
According to the WHO, worldwide cases increased 30 percent between 2016 and 2017.

Anil Ravipudi is currently the most sought after young directors in Telugu film industry. He is red hot with four consecutive hits to his credit.
Every actor wants to team up with Anil who scored the biggest hit with F2. However, Anil Ravipudi has other ideas.
He is not going to team up with any in form actors for his next nor is he doing his long pending movie with Balakrishna.
The F2 director's next is a female centric film and it will not be produced by Dil Raju, who made three films in a row with him.
Anil Ravipudi is currently developing the idea and is yet to sign up the female lead. He is considering a couple of star heroines for the role and will decide according to the availability of their dates.
Ravipudi who has proved his mettle as a commercial director is now trying out different concepts that appeal to contemporary audience.

Shu, ha, ri in the modern age.
For those of you who have taken an interest in applied kata and may be teaching such application, how did your instructors take it?
In my case, very well. It was always encouraged and my original teacher was pleased to see me take a keen interest and have something to say on the issue. I had / have nothing but very positive support. Later on, I deliberately sought out teachers who emphasised realism, so there was no problem there either.
I had both, and I’m glad I did. I was encouraged to have the high-quality kata, but it did not stop there because an understanding of application was also encouraged. Technique with no application is pointless; you can’t even say if it is “good” or not because there is no objective measure. However, trying to develop applicable skills, and not developing high-quality technique as part of that, is also problematic.
It’s true that many do kata as 100% art and 0% martial though. Which is neither effective or traditional. It’s getting less common as the alterative become more mainstream though.
I think it would depend on training objectives. If an instructor provided valuable training opportunities for other aspects i.e. good solo kata, good workout, sparring, self-defence (away from kata), etc. then a person may wish to train for those elements and get the bunkai practise elsewhere. However, if the instructor was openly hostile to such practise then it would seem that the student’s and instructor’s goals are too divergent.
As my Sensei is teaching "practical Karate" since 1989 he was very happy that myself and others students seek practicality in the art.
My teacher always was very adamant that we must find our way of Karate, this art cannot be based on teaching model of Monkey see monkey do and creation of carbon copies of instructor. We are all different and our Karate will be different.
Also I believe that many teachers still promote the mainstream applications, low block, high block, punch. Through teaching applied kata are you saying what your teacher passed on to you was 'wrong' or unrealistic.
Sure there is plenty of them, is that wrong? I don't think so Karate has many faces, I think that every version will have people who enjoy it. It is not to me to judge them ( I used to get angry on some things in Karate, but now I don't ). Nowdays my approach is as this polish saing " Not my circus, not my monkeys"
Yes constantly, if I have any issues with what my teacher is showing me I question, he always is happy when I do that as most of the times he can proof me wrong and show that actually his stuff does work for him. Never once in over 20 years he got angry or dismissive, always one response "let's test it and we see"
I will admit that I have had my previous instructor outright tell me that he doesn't believe that there are joint locks, chokes, and throws in kata, despite all the evidence to the contrary--even within the system he teaches. My current instructor has always encouraged us to play with different applications, cross-train with other people to get more ideas, and figure out what works best for us.
Locally we have an instructor who thinks "Iain Abernethy is an idiot".
Ad hominem arguments never have any value though. I’m not wrong because I’m me. I’m not right because I’m me. Like everyone, I’m simply right if I’m right, and wrong if I’m wrong.
People should always choose to debate the substance of the argument if they want to advance their own viewpoint. If my take on kata is wrong, he should explain why he disagrees. People then can compare the two positions on merit.
Quite honestly I've never found a club that ticked all the boxes. Always had to go to a couple of places to round out what I was after and, sometimes, play a little bit of politics to smooth that through (not often though. Most people I've trained with were cool). Until I win the lottery and move to where Iain runs a club of course!
My instructor (only been with him a couple of years so he's not really been responsible for my martial arts knowledge, such as it is) is happy to see and be shown a different prespective but I know going further up the food chain to area reps and committe members it would/could ruffle some feathers.
I really appreciate this discussion. My karate teachers and I go way back. I began training under them when I was six and discovered Iain when I was 18 or 19. My karate class was vaguely 3K in nature, but we had a large corpus of peripheral techniques borrowed from different sources. My teachers were very clearly not trying to grow me or anyone else into a fighter. They did it for the artistry and spiritual benefits. With that said, I wouldn't necessarily label them "conventional". We once spent an hour practicing heian yondan while channeling various emotions...and trying to guess the emotions others were portraying with their kata. Fun? Definitely. Pragmatic self-defense? Not so sure. I share this to say my teachers were not conservative in their approach to karate and, while, thanks in no small part to Iain's work, our attitudes diverged, their openness and creativity made a major impact on me.
I had a friend in the class who was curious about my ramblings. We downloaded Iain's DVD on tekki and bassai dai and worked out way through it. Every so often we even openly played with the material after class. My teachers never spoke a word to stop us. However, when I tried to encourage them to look at the applied karate materials I'd been absorbing...maybe to share it with the class, they cautioned against exposing others, especially kyu ranks because when you tell someone what an application is, the movement tends to get locked into that single application. This frustrated me and I think I assumed that typical teenage 'tude of thinking i knew everything. And I regret that. While I think they were too polite and nice to say so, I believe I offended them a little.
Recently I've reflected on all the valuable lessons they gave me. An openness to other points of view, the ability to overcome significant pain, a lifelong interest in fitness. So, yes, their tutelage was worthwhile. No doubt about it.
If my take on kata is wrong, he should explain why he disagrees.
I'd be happy to listen to that argument with an open mind, but it never progresses beyond the justificaiton for 3K karate being "it isn't broken so we don't try to fix it." The problem with that of course is that the test of whether or not it needs fixing only takes palce in the dojo against karateka attacking with oi-tsuki.
The problem with that of course is that the test of whether or not it needs fixing only takes place in the dojo against karateka attacking with oi-tsuki.
People take a method and create a test that is designed, not to empirically test the method, but prove the methods works. If the method fails, then people are not doing the test “right”. The test then “proves” the methods works … and everyone turns a blind eye to the fact the central premise is that the method can never be wrong, and everything is built to uphold that myth.
Martial artists of all stripes do this. They have an “infallible method”, and then reinvent the world to fit with the “infallible method”.
The trouble is reality does not care what people would like it to be. It is what it is. No violent criminal is going to attack with an oi-zuki from 10 feet away to support the delusions of the karateka.
Given the karate circles that I tend to run in, I have heard some arguments against Iain's methods that are fair, from their perspective. Mostly, they have to do with structural and biomechanical differences, as well as some methodology differences, based on the way Okinawan styles do things. That isn't to say that Iain's methods are bad or don't work, of course--simply that they don't always fit with the way those practitioners approach practical kata application. Honestly, there have been plenty of times where I have seen applications from Iain and thought, "I see how that fits the kata, and that it would work, but it isn't how I would approach that sequence based on my training," and I'm sure he has seen things that we have shown and thought the same. I think it's interesting to explore those differences, rather than arguing about them. Of course, I have definitely run into the people who simply believe that the only "correct" applications to kata are the 3K-style demonstrations, and that is pretty hard to overcome.
I guess it's all based upon the individual, in a world so complex with human body mechanics being as intricate as they are, coupled with the complication of the human opinion and thought process... there's always going to be disagreement and variations, most Sensei's and teachers generally are resistant towards someone else imposing their structure or way of doing things when it doesn't comply with their own view point, especially when introducing complex diverse realistic bunkai to a basic 3k intepretation of the kata, there's bound to be unhappy chappy's disagreeing.
My sensei never really broached the subject much, physically or verbally and as a result kata for me was always just a movement pattern with no real advantage other than learning coordinaton and dexterity. After leaving my club and moving elsewhere my perspective on kata changed, I started to search for more purpose behind the forms and to be completely honest I love some of the bunkai and where it leads a karate practitoner, but also find some aspects are non relevant or effective for me, so I take what I like and leave the rest and play with what I then have, but disagreeing seems to be a waste of time for me taking into consideration my limited knowledge on real bunkai, different for someone like Iain who has vast technical understanding and can argue many different points for a single application.
albeit not practical, I find the 3k demo's to be great in terms of athletism and showmanship, they look great! Especially the Italian and Japanese teams.
I don't believe that if I, in regards my orginal sensei, brought forward Iain's or anyone's pragmatic take on bunkai that he'd be happy to learn or accept it for it's merits, he started in the 70's and is ''old skool'' telling him ABC is actually XYZ would be like asking someone to volunteer for a punch in the face with no reward - no thank you. Going full circle to what I put above, he's too set in his beliefs and because it doesn't comply with his way, he wouldn't entertain it... that's how I feel my instructor would've responded.
I instruct my own class and don't have to introduce anything new to anyone superior than me in my little world of karate, this been the case, if I do teach new applications and I don't agree.. I usually end up kicking my own arse!
Very interestingly, I invited a well know Japanese instructor down to my club (few years ago now), he trains and teaches the same style (Wado) as I and is versed in both the 3k and traditional karate, I wont name who this instructor was, we've had a few different one's attend to guest teach, however this particular instructor wanted to teach some kata bunkai during the session he was in control of. I was interested to see what his interpretation of the kata yodan (yondan) was and so I requested we start there and see where it took us, I was used as a demo man to assist and he asked me to punch junzuki (oi zuki) to his solo plexus... his choosing was the 3k application. So quite surprised was I to find an older Japanese instructor teaching this version of bunkai, maybe he couldn't be bothered to show the alternative? Due to the fact he was a guest and I didn't want to question his belief too much out of respect for his 'status', it had been a long day at that point and so I decided to not bother.
Not in my opinion, many non applied practical bunkai instructors still have lots of useful experience and material to learn from in other aspects of karate.
''Unrealistic'' 100% yes, ''wrong'' not at all, it's down to their interpretation or not willing to adapt what they already know, either way this isn't wrong, just their opinion and angle on things.
Whilst trying to write this my computer froze and I had to re-write this post again, I nearly dished out some applied bunkai to my bloody PC!!
I think it's interesting to explore those differences, rather than arguing about them.
I think flatly refusing to look at anything different is cult-like and unhealthy. Dogmatically arguing your own corner is the other side of the same coin. Healthy dialogue is important though because disagreement and dissent are how progress is made. I agree that “arguing” is largely meaningless because it infers an unobjectively emotional investment. We need the open dialogue in order to explore the differences though. Both parties can benefit from that. It can clear up confusion, eliminate false assumptions, free us from dogmatism and see everyone make maximum progress.
I'm a bit late to this one but to answer the original question about my experience with this.
When I first went back to training after a 20 year break I went some distance to train with a certain instructor because I liked his style and he was technically very proficient. By the time I'd got to brown belt I'd started to get interested in the applied side and had the opportunity to go to a meet of like minded people, I discussed this with him and he was happy for me to go. That sort of set the scene for the following 10 years and I continued to train with him and eventually teach and run a club for him whilst training around on my own time with other people or in other arts, no real problems.
Our dojo bunkai were very much of the long range kick/punch/block variety although it was very apparent that (from some of the stuff I watched him do) that his personal bukai weren't. Certainly when we had one of the other senior instructors run a bunkai session it would always be a choeographed "attacking long range from the compass points" night, they never showed any interest in anything else.
Things came to a head however when I organised my first charity camp (this was done in isolation from the association as I knew it wasn't really their thing). The first camp had applied karate, okinawan karate, boxing, iai-jitsu, Gracie JJ, Judo etc... I had told him I was doing this and he seemed happy enough, closer to the time I asked about announcing it in dojo in case anybody was interested (I checked 3 times on the day) and he was quite happy to give me the nod (would have been no real issue if he'd just said no).
So I made the announcement at the end of class, no big sell, just letting them know that it was happening. My instructor then took 20 minutes to make a speech which started out as a "this is a rare opportunity to try all these things in one place" but rapidly moved into a long rant during which he basically listed all the things that were available and all the things I'd been training in (with his knowledge) over the years and ended with him saying to his students "by all means go to this camp, but if you find that you enjoy any of the things you do there then don't come back here to me because you can't do both!"
Life moves on and so did I.
I've enjoyed reading through the replies, many of which echo my own ideas. One thought though that comes to mind is the fact that many of us train (and therefore teach) with a particular leaning to the way our body suits our art e.g. tall and strong vs small but athletic vs short but muscular etc. I have found that this can affect their fundamental philosophy and hence the way they teach, which includes their application of techniques.
As an example, my chief instructor is tall, heavy and seems to have extendable arms and legs! He's also a great kicker and some of the things he does that work for him won't suit me. His karate is quite dynamic, forceful and straight because he has size, weight and natural power. I'm not that big so I train to generate as much power as I can out of my body and find ways to use my opponent's power or weight against them. As a small guy I tell the other small guys that we have to use good technique and everything our bosy has to try and match the big giys. I tell the big guys if you can develop great technique and body dynamics on top of their size they will be awesome!!
As such an instructors view on kata bunkai can vary due to this. I have to clear things out the way to get a hit in whereas my instructor can just plough through them. So my bunkai leans more towards Iain's ideas and his leans more to a traditional response. Whilst not novel, it works well for him and those like him.
So, going back to the original thread, I agree if you see something that wouldn't work for ANYONE question and be sceptical. However, I always like to look at what's being taught in the context of who's teaching it and how they use their shape. What I particularly enjoy about being exposed to diffrent instructors is trying to fuse different approaches and adapt them to me.
That’s a good post Gareth. As instructors I think it is important we don’t exclude things that don’t suit us; solely because it does not suit us as individuals. It is also important that we give the students the education and autonomy to explore what works for them.
Learn the explanations of every technique well, and decide when and in what manner to apply them when needed.
We all draw from the same knowledge pool (“learn the explanations of every technique well”) but we decide what works for us as individuals (“decide when and in what manner to apply them when needed”).

You would be most welcome!
At St Marks roundabout take the exit onto Wain A Long Road (signposted Laverstock). Proceed down this road (there are lots of parked cars and you may have to give way to oncoming traffic). At the bottom of the road turn right. At the mini round about turn right up the hill past Godolphin Prep. The entrance for The Godolphin School is on your left at the top of the hill. There is plenty of parking on site.
Walk up Milford Street, passing under the Ring Road, and right up to the top of Milford Hill. Godolphin School is just on the other side of the mini round about.
Love God, love others – 24/7. This is what we aim for.
We have plenty of parking, and there is easy access to the hall we meet in. The Sunday meeting begins at 10:30 am, but we serve coffee and cookies from 10:00-10.25 am. The refreshments are on us, sit wherever you like, and make yourself at home – we do.
We begin with about thirty minutes of singing where we express our love and thanks to God. Feel free to participate (the words are projected onto a screen) or simply listen. This is usually followed by a time of prayer and reflection as people to respond to God’s Presence. Then there is an opportunity for people to give as part of their worship. Baskets of sweets are passed around and everyone takes one. Those who want to give a gift put it into the baskets as they are passed round.
Then the children leave for their program. The one exception to this is on the first week of each month when the kids program runs for the whole service. On these weeks they are signed in to their activities when you arrive.
Once the children are all signed in, there is a talk based on the Bible. It aims to apply the Bible to everyday life in a way that is challenging and inspiring. Following the talk, there is an opportunity for people to receive prayer. If this is new to you, feel free to watch – we will try to explain what is happening as we go along.
The service is over by 12:30 pm, but some people stay a while longer and chat. The children are brought back into the main hall for you to sign them out.

Undated: "When I arrived at Crowflat Ranger Station to take over the Burns District, there was no one around or to introduce me to the new territory so I found my way around alone. There was a short-term man located at Calamity Guard Station near Drewsey and a lookout-fireman at West Myrtle Butte on the opposite end of the district. When I reached Myrtle Butte on my preliminary rounds, I found it to be a butte covered with a heavy stand of mature timber, with a commanding view when an opening could be found between the trees. An Osborne fire finder was set up on a wobbly table about four feet high, constructed of small, round sticks wired together with emergency telephone wire. When a smoke was sighted, the lookout fireman would proceed to carry the table and fire finder to a spot from which the smoke would be visible between trees. He would set the table down and orient the finder as best he could, as the table wobbled and shook, then take a reading and report.
August 1929: "Truxton Dalton, our watchful lookout-fireman on West Myrtle sighted a smoke at 8 a.m., July 12, 4 miles distant and after duly reporting, was dispatched thereto. The distance was quickly covered by auto and Dalton found a fire - in a camp stove in the edge of the timber and a sheep herder nearby taking a bath. The herder admitted putting some pitch wood in the stove to warm the water quickly.
May 1930: "A travelers' register was kept on West Myrtle Lookout the past two seasons; 180 visitors registered in that time, and no doubt a good many visited the lookout who did not register.
October 1938: "Multiple use of predatory animals was recently observed by Fireman Paul Gillingham of the West Myrtle Lookout while stalking a lightning fire in Jack Andy Creek at 4:00 a.m.
His attention diverted from smoke-smelling but approaching jungle sounds, Fireman Gillingham peered through the fog-laden underbrush to witness, at a point twenty-five distant, a young mule deer buck bounding past, followed by a coyote- another coyote- and three others-five coyotes, in mass formation and full cry.

Woodridge is a south western suburb of Chicago located in DuPage County. As of 2010, the population was just under 33,000 people, when the village was incorporated in 1959, less than 500 people resided in Woodridge. In 2007, Money magazine ranked Woodridge as number 61 of the “100 Best Places to Live”.
Six elementary schools and one junior high school are located directly in Woodridge providing education to the residents. After junior high, students attend Downers Grove North or South high schools.
The owners of this home were ready to make some major changes to their bathroom. For starters, the overall appearance had become dull and boring to the customers so, they wanted Regency to create a space that would be in style for years on end. The goal of this renovation was to completely transform this bathroom space into a new area that would be much more enjoyable to use each and every day. A space that the customers would look forward to using. In order to make this possible, Regency would need to remove all current installations including the vanity, floor tiling, bathtub, lighting fixtures, and necessary electrical wiring.
Regency went above and beyond the customers expectations and created the bathroom of their dreams. The most eye catching change is the overall style and color scheme. Regency transformed their dull bathroom to an elegant and sleek bathroom. To do this, Regency installed a White Shaker Style vanity with a Cameo Pearl Quartz countertop, Yorkwood Manor floor tiling, Moselle Limestone shower floor tiling, and Elevare Lunar shower wall tiling. Each of these installations assist in creating a more luxurious bathroom.
Overall, Regency did a fantastic job recreating this bathroom. The customers are more than satisfied with their new bathroom that they will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
If you want a bathroom remodel in Woodridge, IL call the experts in home improvement, Regency Home Remodeling, at 1 (773) 930-4465.

Hawks boss Lee Bradbury is looking ahead to getting back to league action tomorrow when we make the 440-mile round trip to the Proact Stadium against Chesterfield.
Following successive win in our past two National League games, the gaffer is hoping to continue that good form against Martin Allen’s side.
“We’ve had a couple of good results recently; performances have been good and we need to continue to do that if we stand a chance of getting something up there.
Chesterfield’s form has been consistent over recent weeks having drawn each of their last six league games and the gaffer knows how important it is to be at it to come home with a victory tomorrow night.
“They’ll be trying to go and win the game, they haven’t won at home since August so they’ll want to get over that hurdle.
Martin Allen’s a friend of mine and he’s very hard working, he’ll have his team at it, pressing and getting all over the pitch and trying to keep the fans on side.
And by keeping the crowd quiet and frustrated, the Hawks can stand a better chance of getting three points.
“Expectations (for Chesterfield) were to get promoted, it is still possible, it’s a league club really, but all the time they are where they are it is difficult for them and we need to make it as difficult for them tomorrow and use that to our advantage.
